-It's safer.

Take route 30 west to exit 83.

Drive around the block.

Pardon?

Drive around the block!

I'll wait at the tracks.

-See you in two hours.

-Fine.

Wait! Wait!

There's a T-Rex outside

with the keys.

I want my T -Rex, sh*t!

Got it.

Bye.

It's too dangerous. Go home.

Are you crazy? This is fun.

You enjoy hiding from the cops

under a rig, I don't.

Why was the lawyer there?

I dunno, you tell me.

I didn't do anything.

Right, we're both clean as snow.

What's your problem?

Are you losing it?

Whose heart is that?

The cop's?

-Answer me!

-Leave me alone!

F***, you don't have the guts.

Answer!

Morgane, I have the cops

and bikers on my tail.

I'm trying to save the woman I love.

I don't give a f*** about anything else?

Understand?

F***!

No guns in here! No guns!

She's here too?

-Drop your gun.

-No, you!

-Drop it!

-You're out of your league.

Come. You'll tell the cops

you killed Gino.

You killed someone?

Be glad, he was a cop.

You killed a cop?

Gino was a cop?

Are you shitting me?

You outta your mind?

I didn't know.

I don't believe it. You stole'em!

-A stool's organs!

-His heart.

-And the rest?

-Your vet probably kept'em.

You gutted a pig.

Talk about dumb.

I'll shoot.

No you won't,

I can see it in your eyes.

Get out of my taxi!

F*** you!

Put it down.

You vanished for him?

For this loser?

Some life, bravo!

You'll go far!

Montreal quiet city, they say.

-You O.K.?

-Yeah, go!

-To the cops?

-No, route 30.

Get down!

What are the odds of choosing a cop?

I wanted to rid society of a gangster!

Cop or crook, what's the diff?

You killed him.

You really are losing it.

I have to save Alice.

-You'd go to jail?

-I'd give her my heart if I was A pos.

You're warped. That's not love,

that's insanity.

Giving your life's not love?

No, it's egotism.

Think your sacrifice

will make you better?

You O.K.? You alright?

-Are you...?

-It's O.K., go on!

What's wrong, are you having spasms?

Just tell me, it's alright.

We can stop for now.

I'd like to die like this in your arms.

Don't say that.

Don't say that.

All that matters is you're going

to hospital.

What's the point?

You know how it'll end.

I'll be hooked up to a machine

till I'm a vegetable.

I'm not sure I want that.

I don't want to lose you.

I don't want you to die.

Do you want to spend your life

tending a sick woman

who can't even make love to you?

It's crazy.

Look at you.

Are you happy?

Answer me honestly...

I can't believe you're asking me that.

You know I love you.

You know I love Theo.

You two are all my life.

I know you love me.

But do you love yourself?

Really? You have a kid?

What's his name?

Theo. He's nine.

I don't believe it!

He's not mine, but it's like he was.

You disappoint me, Max.

Yeah, why?

You found a weak woman and a kid

so you can play the hero

and sit on your ass.

Where's your passion?

Your life's boring.

What? My life's boring?

F***ing boring.

You're hard.

Sh*t!

Been a while since I was here.

Remember when we saw Mad Max?

What do you watch now, cartoons?

Family life is fun, y'know.

Some cartoons aren't bad.

I can't be hearing right.

You used to say that love's...

a prison with bars made of flesh.

I said that? I was a poet.

For real.

What are you doing?

Waiting for the organ guy.

You can go.

How long can you keep a heart?

Can I see it?

No, it'll get warm.

Don't touch it. Leave it alone!

Let's go.

Why are you here?

I want my T -Rex.

Just relax.

Come sit down.

Why can't you let go?

What are you scared of?

Yourself?

-Come on!

-The truth's out.

Stop.

Stop it, c'mon.

I don't want to.

Too bad.

It would've been good.

Yeah, for sure.

I know you loved me.

Admit it.

Yes, I loved you.

Happy now? I said it.

What now?

We drop everything

and start from scratch?

Why not?

I won't abandon those I love.

Ever.

You abandoned me!

O.K., I'm sorry.

-I was scared.

-Of what, me?

Morgane, I was scared of you,

the lawyer,

what we were turning into.

Max wasn't me.

I'm Julien, a simple guy

who loves his kid, his girl.

I don't have to always come in first.

That's over.

I loved Max.

So you f***ed the lawyer.

I paid dearly for it.

I wish I hadn't.

Sh*t!

You can take a man out of the woods,

but not...

That's not true. You can change.

You just have to try.

Don't get angry.

I know you're a good kid.

But you're a maniac.

You could've killed yourself.

I'll go.

Excuse me.

Maybe I wanted to die.

We'll set sail on a big ship

And drop anchor

on a treasure island

Look after Theo.

Stop, you'll look after Theo.

I love you.

I love you.

They get closer and closer.

Think that's a coincidence?

Julien?

Sh*t! Christ!

-Hello, Dad?

-Hello?

-Theo?

-Daddy! How are you?

How's it going?

Know what? We went go-karting.

It was so cool. I beat everyone.

There was a race.

-I came in first.

-I'm so proud of you.

I have to talk to you,

it's important.

You know I love you.

I love you and Mom

more than anything.

And so does Mom.

-Is she dead?

-No.

She's not dead.

She's not dead and I promised

to do anything to save her.

But maybe I won't be able to.

Maybe this is a race I won't win.

I understand.

Dad?

Sing me Mom's song.

Well I'm kind of...

You know, the song

with the elephant and the ship.

We'll set sail on a big ship

And drop anchor

on a treasure island

Where those funny birds nest

That you see in your dreams

But there's no big ship

Or island with birds

And if I tell tall tales,

it's so you'll shut your eyes

-On a big elephant...

-On an elephant singing opera

We'll cross the Sahara

And sleep by an oasis

-Under the...

-Under the licorice trees

But there are no...

Help Daddy.

There are no candy trees

And no opera-singing elephants

If I spin these fabulous tales

It's so you'll fall asleep

Theo, I have to go now.

Take care of Grampa.

I'm counting on you, O.K.?

I love you, my love. I love you.

Get in!

-Thanks.

-Don't mention it.

This'll take a miracle.

You have to believe.

It's all or nothing.

Do or die!

Watch out!

Morgane!

Morgane, wait!
