Trap for Cinderella Page #3

---

She offered me everything.

Then along came Micky.

Deep down you're just like me.

You know you should have a better life.

[JULIA] Persuade Micky

to come to the south of France.

It will be the best for both of you.

I've...

I've moved back to my own flat.

Now, when you both get there,

give me a call.

I can help you.

[DOORBELL]

- Pack your bags.

- What?

You need your swimsuit

and your passport.

Passport?

I thought maybe we could go

to the south of France.

I need a break

and we could see Elinor.

- Yeah, but I thought you...

- Yeah, I changed my mind.

Look, she'd love you to come

and we can fly to Paris, hire a car,

take the scenic route.

Come on.

I'll help you pack.

[ PAULINE CROZE:
"T'ES BEAU"]

I just hate myself when I'm with her,

the way she makes me act.

Why do you put up with it, then?

Oh...

It's complicated.

Julia brought me up as much as anyone.

At a certain point,

Elinor just gave up on me.

Change the music, DJ.

So, what did Jake say

about us coming away?

- Haven't spoken to him.

- Are you going to stay with him?

If he wants me enough.

[ METRONOMY:
"THE BAY"]

[DO] You must be shattered.

Pull in here.

- Will this do?

- [DO LAUGHS]

WOW!

Christ, if you'd driven a few more feet,

we would have...

Sh*t!

WOW!

Come on.

- She's ready.

- Thank you.

Hello, Elinor.

Hi, Elinor.

It's Do, Elinor.

I'm not Micky.

I'm Micky. I'm here.

Bonjour.

You must be Do.

- Bonjour.

- Ca va?

She's sleeping.

- Micky! Ca va?

- Yvette! Comment ca va?

- Ca va bien?

- Ca va bien.

I'm pleased to see you.

Do, come on.

Let's just dump our stuff here

and go straight to the beach.

Kick your feet.

Arms out.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello.

I'm not going to call again

so please listen.

I just want you to be honest with

yourself about what you want.

I want her.

She's ruined your life once already.

Micky told your mother

about your father's affair with Elinor.

Surely that must have something

to do with why he committed suicide.

Micky!

Don't leave me!

[CRYING]

She'll never love you

in the way you want her to.

It's not in her nature.

Now, listen carefully to me.

This is what you have to do.

You were gone ages yesterday.

I went to the beach.

Was there any action in the village?

Party central.

Right, it's empty.

- My turn.

- No, no, no.

Sh*t.

- Is everything OK?

- Yes, thank you.

I'll do it.

[MICKY] Do?

What took you so long?

I gave up on you. Anything wrong?

No. It's just the sun.

It's knocked me out.

[SCREAMS]

[SOBS]

[ NOUVELLE VAGUE: "LOVE WILL TEAR US APART"]

I wish the sun

would just stop right there,

not move any more.

[SIGHS] Then I'd just lay

like this forever.

What about you, Do?

Do you think about the future?

Gosh, it's too hot

to think about anything.

I don't want to think about it either.

Do you want to go out tonight?

There's a party on some guy's boat.

- What guy? A friend?

- I don't know. It's just some guy.

You should learn to swim.

[FRENCH BOY] Come on.

Let's go to the boat! Come on!

- We go to the boat. You come?

- Yeah. Are you coming?

[DO] Er, I thought you had a big boat.

- Well, that's his boat.

- Oh.

We don't need to bring her, do we?

[CHEERING AND LAUGHING]

[BOAT ENGINE REVVING]

[CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]

[ CRYSTAL CASTLES: "CELESTICA"]

- What are you doing here?

- Micky, I'm sorry.

I've got some bad news

about your aunt.

She passed away yesterday.

C'est fini. Come on.

She's quiet now.

Tell me what to do.

Not here.

On 4th July, your birthday,

you'll go out for dinner,

have a little celebration.

That will seem natural afterwards.

That's the night it will happen.

Your plan will never work.

The fire will cause so much damage

they'll assume it was the boiler.

They'll never discover

the disconnected gas pipe.

If I die, I'll deserve it.

You have to start the fire at 1:00am.

We need to agree a time

so that I can be the first to arrive.

We'll never get away with this.

What about Yvette?

She'll recognise me.

That will be impossible.

We'll go to Switzerland.

They're very discreet.

They have the best surgical facilities.

What are you saying?

You will be Micky.

Do you want me to change my face?

I know.

But it will be worth it.

Sometimes you get a chance,

and if you seize it in that moment,

you can change your life forever.

If you let it slip... it will be gone.

[ PETER SARSTEDT:

"WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY?"]

Come with me.

[LAUGHING]

- Look.

- Christ, we'll be out of it.

- I've got to drive.

- Just leave the car. Come on.

- All right, just one.

- OK.

Ready?

Right, let's go.

[ CASSIUS:
"TOOP TOOP"]

No, don't make me...

- Can we leave now?

- It's just getting started.

Really? It's the third time

he's started to tell that story

and it's not getting any funnier.

OK, five minutes.

Please.

OK.

A la tienne!

Come on, get into bed.

[HISSING]

[EXPLOSION]

It worked, better than expected.

Your poor face,

it was unrecognisable after the fall.

But even that worked to our advantage.

- And the amnesia...

- Oh, my God.

What have I done?

How could I have gone through with it?

- Do, calm yourself.

- I'm going to the police.

Why? You've got everything

you ever wanted.

I didn't want this.

- I don't want this.

- The old Micky is gone.

You're Micky now.

And if the lawyer believes you,

as he does,

then everyone will.

We'll go back to Elinor's

in the south of France.

We'll wait for the reading of the will.

Here. You're safe now.

Who are you?

1963 E-Type.

It's a beauty, isn't it?

I'd buy it off you

if I had a spare 100,000 euros.

But, then, you don't need the money.

- Let's get in.

- What do you want?

To tell you a story.

This is a private beach.

I'm going for a swim.

Actually, I'm not here for the sun.

I know what you're here for.

Your friend stopped

at the caf.

I got interested

when she wanted to call England.

Excuse me.

I'd like to make a call to London.

- Lost your phone?

- How did you guess?

I listened in.

[JULIA] She's ruined your life

once already.'

[MICKY] What does this have

to do with me?

They've got some sort of a plan.

Against you.

She wrote something on a pad.

[JULIA] Remember.

The upstairs bathroom.

Clarissa.

It's blank.

She presses too hard

when she writes.

It says...

"Clarissa upstairs bathroom."

How much?

A thousand?

Meet me at the tabac,

tomorrow at 11:
00.

You were gone for ages yesterday.

I went to the beach.

- Was there any action in the village?

- Party central.

Right, it's empty.

- My turn.

- No, no, no. I'll go.

Do?

What took you so long?

I gave up on you. Anything wrong?

No. It's just the sun.

It's knocked me out.

There's 500.

Where is the rest?

If what you have to say is interesting,

you'll get the rest.

All they have to do is loosen the joint

and in a closed room

with a naked flame...

Where is the rest of my money?

That was the rest.

You're lucky to have a taste of me.

I'm worth much more than that.

I don't need you any more.
