...

Is it on ?

-Whenever you want.

We're right in the middle of

the industrial site of Chamfors.

This is where they found the child.

Building 1.

We've got permission

to make this movie.

As a medical archive

in favor

of the pediatric ward

of the hospital.

There you go.

She lived there.

She wasn't raped,

that's for sure.

It looks more

like common abuse.

Malnutrition, dehydration,

mild hypothermia.

The hole allows the person to

do one's needs without standing up.

The infection of the wrists proves

she was chained.

How did she get out of here ?

Lucie doesn't tell a thing

about what she went through.

What's that ? Orange juice ?

-Yes.

Is it for her ?

-Yes.

You're a real mom.

-She's got no-one else.

Don't worry, Anna,

those gentlemen

are really nice.

- Okay.

Do you know why we

show you this movie?

Yes.

Why do we need you ?

- Because...

you want to get the people

who hurt Lucie.

-Yes, Anna.

Lucie wants that too.

She says they have to get caught.

What else did she sya?

You talk to her for hours...

She's afraid.

Does she tell you things ?

-She's afraid.

What does she remember ?

She doesn't know who it is.

Sometimes she thinks she remembers something,

sometimes she doesn't.

What do you think ?

Do you think she will remember ?

It was dark and she didn't see it well.

She doesn't remember.

Enter.

Lucie Jurin didn't come.

Lucie ?

Anna,

Don't tell, aye ?

I won't.

- It's not me,

it's not me,

it's not me.

Calm down.

Do you want to come ?

Anna ?

Give it to me !

Give it to me !

Stop, both of you.

Damned !

You'll see how poorly she writes.

Stop, I said.

-You're the worst !

Don't touch me.

By the way, it's none of your business.

What do you know ?

You don't know what love is.

You don't have a boyfriend.

And ? Are we gonna eat breakfast or not ?

-Yeah, yeah.

You're getting on my nerves.

I hate you.

CHAMPION 100 METRES BUTTERFLY

And you talk about it like that ? ?

How should I talk about it ?

- Smartass...

A Sunday morning.

Did you talk about it with your mother ?

Yes.

- And what did you say ?

That she had problems with the pressure.

If she works, she ain't happy.

- Are you happy ?

I'm having fun.

- I'm having fun.

Done.

- Good.

Here.

A gift.

Damned, Gairielle.

-Gross !

In the main pipe ?

There's you shower

that doesn't run like it should.

Gross.

-Come on. Let's eat.

Yeah, I'm being gross,

but now we can use the garden again.

Did Antoine talk

about his big projects ?

I asked what you thought of them.

No, you wondered if she was pissed off.

- Don't start. It's none of your business.

It's my brother.

-Your brother's a dreamer.

Hey, Antoine ?

You can't leave a school

that costs that much after 3 months.

Definitely not if you pay in advance.

-There you go.

Stop it, you !

-She's always bragging since the newspaper article.

Are you gonna do it every time ?

-What ?

Even for your graduation

we had to pay a private school.

With a lot of effort.

- I did graduate.

Thank God. Did you know

how much it cost ?

Your money, for the trimesters.

To hear you didn't care at all.

Really, Antoine, isn't it hard

to be so irritating ?

That school... it's not the same.

I wanted to do something I liked.

We didn't force you.

- No, but ....

law school, it's not my thing.

-You can get anywhere with it.

That's not the point.

He wants to live with his girlfriend.

Law school, it's not my thing.

- Whatever, Antoine,

there's nothing you like.

Once you even wanted to become a baker.

That's unheard of.

Who's the butthole ?

Be friendly, Marie Belfond.

- It's Sunday.

So ? Why do you need to rest on Sunday ?

Your week in the factory ?

Stay there. Don't move !

Don't move !

Sit down !

How old are you ?

Eightteen.

Do you know what your parents did ?

Why did you do that to me ?

Why did you do that to me ?

Why?

It's them.

- Lucie ?

It's them, Anna.

- Did you see them ?

They changed, but it's definitely them.

- Are you sure ?

I'm telling you.

- Lucie, it's been 15 years.

And you find them in a paper ?

- I'm telling you.

We'll call the police

- Don't bother.

What ?

- I did what I needed to do

What did you do?

- What I needed to do !

You had to observe them. You weren't sure.

-I'm sure.

I knew I had to come along

-Why don't you believe me ?

Where are you calling from ?

From the house.

-From theirs ?

Yes.

- Give me the adress.

Lucie, give me the aress !

I did it...

Look,

It's me, Lucie. It's me.

Calm down. It's me.

She's there.

She's in the house.

- I know

She hurt me more than before.

Stay here.

Where are you going ?

I have to go take a look.

-She's there.

I have to go take a look.

-She's in the house.

Look at me, I have to go take a look.

Wait for me.

She hurt me more than before.

- I'm coming, Lucie.

What am I going to do ?

I'm coming.

I don't have any more shells.

- You won't be needing them.

Why don't we leave ?

- Come.

She'll come back.

Come.

You called me from here

Everyone will know it's us.

I don't care.

-Yes.

I don't care.

It hurts.

- Sorry.

What are we gonna do, Anna ?

Are you okay ?

Are you repulsed ? By what I did ?

Do you smell this ?

That foul stench ?

I smelled that every time

Do you understand?

When she hit me, I smelled that.

Look.

It's them.

What are you doing ?

Do you think I'm gonna get out of this?

Yes. Yes.

Please, don't make a sound.
