Mes deux amours Page #2

---

It could be serious.

From now on, I run the enquiry.

Do you have something?

Tell me everything.

And no initiatives.

She's journalist.

Maybe she has discovered something

she shouldn't have.

- I can't tell you more.

You can trust me.

Prove it.

Keep them away from the island.

They will be embarrassing.

It seems serious. Is it a political

affair? Terrorism?

- Don't talk about it.

I'm bound by secrecy.

I'm not afraid

of mythomaniacs like you.

Just disappear from my life!

Please!

Thanks to my networks,

I will find Barbara in 24 hours,

negotiate with the kidnappers,

take her back to Paris and sue you!

And I'm the mythomaniac?

You're lucky

I have better things to do.

Yes, Vanessa.

Jerk.

I knew it.

Are you upset you two lovers met?

- Leave me alone.

- I've been thinking.

I don't judge you.

It must have been tough

to hide the truth from them.

I travel a lot with my job.

But now they know.

Yes. I would have preferred

to tell them myself.

They know.

Does it annoy you?

I have

a far more important problem

to solve.

- Christian asked me to...

Christian should

talk to me directly.

Instead of asking

about my private life

he should be worried.

My two men

must be looking for me.

- Do you really think

they're going to cooperate?

- They are likely to find me.

You should tell

Christian to let me go.

- He's not the boss.

You and he will go to prison.

I made a report

on women in prison...

- Your men will never find you.

- They will never cooperate.

- It's possible they will.

- They are cleverer than you think.

- How do you know?

I've been in love with them

for 18 years.

If it's that simple,

why haven't you told them?

Do you recognise her?

Thanks.

Yes, Vanessa.

Find everything you can

about a certain Emmanuel Devailly.

D-E-V-A-I-L-L-Y.

His past, present, story.

Who is he?

A strange man I met.

He lives in Bergerac.

- Do you have my red file?

- This one?

Our planet, ecology,

China?

- We have editorials ready to go.

You won't be there

for the vote?

- I don't know...

My priority

is Barbara.

The fact you left makes

people say you think

you've already won.

I don't claim I have.

Even if I don't see

who could be chosen but me.

What do you think?

Find Barbara.

I'll call you back.

For me, this is luxury.

The sea, a sunset, you.

Sleep out in the open.

Let's stay a bit more.

- Let's stay here tomorrow.

- I can't.

I must attend

an editor's conference at noon.

On a Sunday?

There are no Sundays in my job.

It's awful...

It sometimes feels like the time

I spend with you is stolen.

It's better than lost time,

isn't it?

- Your job is worse than a lover.

- Stop...

So? Did you watch my report?

- Yes.

- What do you think?

You should go on

with your investigations

and write a book.

- Stop...

I'm not joking!

You could work here

one day or two.

Everyone needs a little time.

The pot is calling

the kettle black!

- I'm serious.

Would you love me that much

if you saw me every day?

Of course I would!

The question doesn't arise.

You never asked it to me.

We are the same.

We run on adrenaline but...

I have some time. So?

No. I'm awaited in Beirut.

Doesn't your cameraman

leave in two days?

- He does.

But I need preparation,

to feel the atmosphere.

You know me.

By heart.

That's all I have on him.

Emmanuel Devailly went bankrupt.

It's very interesting, Vanessa.

He lost everything.

Try to know a bit more,

it's interesting.

Well, listen...

We hate each other, that's a fact.

But let's stop fighting

and work together.

What do you think?

I've been thinking.

I know Barbara.

She's under so much pressure

with her reports,

she must have caught hold

of lost causes.

So why not you?

On a misunderstanding.

You don't understand.

Understand what?

She can't love a mentally-retarded

neo-hippie who thinks he's a hero

because he defends

stupid teenagers.

What about you with your earphone,

your smartphone, your moccassins?

You're pathetic.

- Screw you.

- Screw you too.

You get to know each other?

Given Barbara's last phone calls,

it's been much more than 48 hours

since we heard from her.

Can't you launch an investigation?

Organise a search?

You must know

if she uses her credit card,

her phone!

We're going to investigate.

You must get out

of the way.

- Out of the way?

Leave the island.

Wait. Tell us more.

You have enough problems

with your job.

He's right.

Go back to work, I'll stay.

I know where you're going.

Ask him why he's really here.

The money from the sale

of Barbara's house

can be interesting for him.

He's a crook. He went bankrupt.

That's why he went to Bergerac.

- It's pathetic.

- Isn't asking me to leave too?

Do something for Barbara

before I kill him!

You know what?

I'm going to build a team.

But leave.

I can't protect you here.

I knew it! It's political!

I stay.

I won't leave without her.

Nor will I.

Vanessa, it's me.

I'm going to need the newspaper.

It looks more and more

like a political affair.

Are you crazy?

You bastard.

I went bankrupt, I'm not a crook!

You may want

to get Barbara's money!

And I was ready

to cooperate with you...

Please.

I don't spy on you, you paranoiac!

I'm not paranoiac, I'm lucid

and informed, that's my job.

It's appalling to play solo in such

a situation!

- Calm down, anti-globalist.

Wait!

- Don't slip away!

- Leave me alone!

Darcourt's car just exploded.

Do you know something?

Nothing.

Is there a lot of damage?

What's the matter?

A problem with separatists?

Well-known criminals?

Tell me. It's too serious.

I protect you by keeping quiet.

Did you

convince them to leave?

- I tried.

- Do it. I'm relying on you.

It's a terrorist attack!

People want me dead!

I almost died too!

He saved me!

I know you're upset.

- Upset? We almost died!

- We're going

to repatriate you.

We want an investigation!

For that?

I'm sorry, but it's not

a car bombing attempt.

- What do you need?

- A nuclear explosion?

- Corsica

has the best pyrotechnists.

If it was a car bomb,

you car's ashes

could fit in a can of beer.

I get it! It's a joke!

It eases our minds.

You'll talk to the insurance,

they'll understand.

You've been lucky.

It was just a warning.

But next time you could die.

Go home now.

Your wife must want you alive.

Let's go rent another car now.

Let's make a pact.

You hate me.

It was before you saved my life.

I can't trust you.

Do you trust the police more?

You must deal with your partner's

temporary love affairs.

- Good. So you're her lover.

- I meant you.

I know.

Please, I'm really worried.

You're right.

The most important is Barbara.

Darcourt's car exploded.

If he doesn't leave

the island after that,

we'll need more.

You've gone insane!

You tried to kill them!

I you cooperate, it's over.

I don't believe you.

If I do, I'm dead.

You still think your two lovers

will save you?

- They must be annoying

if you want them dead.
