00:00A top note, which fades after a few minutes.
00:07The heart note, which holds for several hours.
00:11And lastly, the base note, which stays on the skin for several days.
00:18Anna, do you know what has clung to my skin for 24 years?
00:25The smell of flowers and soil.
00:27The day I gave birth to my daughter in your fields.
00:36That is my base note.
00:42My heart note is the memory of her crying when that same day the nurse took her away from me.
00:57My top note is a mix of guilt and anger.
01:09You made me believe that because she wasn't planned, because I didn't even know that I was pregnant, that the only solution was to abandon her.
01:24I thought that if I forced myself to forget her, she would vanish.
01:31I rebuilt everything, far away from grass, far away from the young woman who had nothing, who was nothing.
01:44Now, I'm pregnant again.
01:53Apart from my doctor, no one knows that I've carried a child before.
01:58Since this child has been growing inside me, the scent of the past has resurfaced.
02:03It follows me, heady, nauseating.
02:11I'm sick every morning.
02:19My husband thinks it's a pregnancy.
02:22I daren't tell him the truth.
02:24I feel ashamed.
02:26Ashamed of my cowardice.
02:28Ashamed because of you.
02:29All I think about is her.
02:33My daughter.
02:35Who am I abandoned?
02:38Now, it's time to pay for the mistakes of the past.
02:46I'm not giving you a choice.
02:49I had her found.
02:56Her name is Alba.
02:58She's twenty-four.
03:03You and I, we're going to ask for her forgiveness.
03:08And you're going to give her what she's always deserved without knowing it.
03:12Your precious roses.
03:14With which she was supposed to grow up.
03:17And be loved.
03:20Love.
03:28Fuck!
03:45Beatrice!
03:46Don't you dare die on me, you hear?
03:53Do you hear me?
03:56Someone help!
03:58Help!
03:58Help!
04:00In the air!
04:03What's going on?
04:04Move!
04:05Move!
04:06Beatrice!
04:07Squeeze my hand if you hear me.
04:09Security!
04:10There's a pulse, but it's very weak.
04:12Yes.
04:12Beatrice, can you hear me?
04:13One of our patients has been attacked.
04:15Who are you, huh?
04:16How did you get in here?
04:17Her breathing is very shallow.
04:19She's lost a lot of blood.
04:20Send an ambulance now.
04:21Squeeze my hand if you hear me.
04:23Is Josephine properly secured?
04:24Of course, secured as a dated.
04:26Okay, I'll go and get someone.
04:27Okay.
04:28Beatrice.
04:29Beatrice, can you hear me?
04:30Beatrice, squeeze my hand if you can.
04:32Beatrice, answer me.
04:34Beatrice!
04:35Matthew?
04:43Matthew?
04:49Where are you?
04:50We need to speak.
04:51We need to speak.
05:05Okay.
05:11I didn't see anything.
05:12Did you lose consciousness?
05:13I think so.
05:15Okay.
05:16This way.
05:16My colleagues called me as soon as they heard her name.
05:19Oh, so you know the girl?
05:20Yeah, pretty well.
05:21I cleared her name in the murder of Mr. Leclerc.
05:24We put her in the infirmary.
05:26Here.
05:27Oh, my goodness.
05:28All units.
05:36Suspect is on the run.
05:37Repeat, suspect is on the run.
05:48Move, move, move!
05:51Move, move!
06:21She's losing a lot of blood.
06:32It's going to be okay, Mother.
06:38Stay with us.
06:42Come on.
06:44I won't be able to keep her stable for long.
06:46Come on.
06:51Come on.
07:14I won't be able to keep her.
07:16I don't know.
07:46Ejecting German.
08:16Welcome back Beatrice.
08:45So, here we are.
08:55No, not yet.
08:58You aren't quite there.
09:01Could you expand on that?
09:04I know that you have plenty of questions, but unfortunately you do not have much time.
09:13I'm sorry, but I do not make the rules here.
09:20I don't want to play.
09:22And besides, I've never had much luck.
09:24The more I played, the more I lost.
09:26Believe me, my darling, you don't want to lose this one.
09:31The more I lost.
09:43The more I lost.
09:46The more I lost.
10:01Mom?
10:06Mom?
10:10Mom?
10:11Mom?
10:12Mom?
10:13Mom?
10:14Mom?
10:15Mom?
10:16Mom?
10:17Mom?
10:18Mom?
10:20Mom?
10:25Oh, my God.
10:55What are you doing here, Josephine?
11:16Sorry.
11:18I'm sorry.
11:19I didn't mean to scare you.
11:25No, you have no right.
11:43It's mine, all right?
11:45Okay.
11:46Calm down.
11:48I mean you no harm.
11:50You can trust me, I swear.
11:55You knew my mother.
11:57Look.
12:01Look.
12:06Do you recognize her?
12:08You were friends, right?
12:11Right?
12:13Nadia.
12:14Right.
12:14Yeah, that's her.
12:16There was blood.
12:18It was all around.
12:19She's here.
12:23She's here.
12:24Room 201.
12:24Don't do that.
12:29Open this door.
12:33It's okay.
12:34Look, I'm here with you.
12:37Nothing can happen to you.
12:38I won't let them hurt you.
12:40Why, blood?
12:42Did something happen?
12:43Did something happen?
12:49I won't let them hurt you.
12:50Help!
12:52Help!
12:53Nadia.
12:55Nadia.
12:55On her skin.
12:57On my dress.
12:58Oh, no!
13:02The scent of roses.
13:03Help!
13:05Blood.
13:09And I found those two.
13:13Nadia and her baby.
13:16A small girl.
13:18You were there.
13:28The baby cries.
13:30Open the door!
13:31Please!
13:32Nadia passes out.
13:34Please!
13:34I need to take them right away.
13:36To the hospital right away.
13:39But the doctors don't want me with her.
13:44I wait.
13:46I wait for her.
13:48I wait.
13:51All alone.
13:53I call and nobody picks up.
14:03Except for one.
14:05Oh, he's there for us.
14:07Who's he?
14:09I know.
14:10He was frightened.
14:15Josephine.
14:17Frightened.
14:18But why?
14:21Because it's his baby.
14:25That's his daughter.
14:26I brought you into this family.
14:28I talked Matthew into marrying you.
14:30I've always been on your side.
14:31I know, I know.
14:32But what you've asked me...
14:32Listen here.
14:34I made a terrible mistake cheating on Beatrice.
14:37But I do not want to lose everything over this.
14:40I'm sorry you're caught up in it all.
14:43But please understand, no one can find out.
14:46No one.
14:46I'm not even Matthew.
14:50Matthew.
14:52Do you promise?
14:55Do you promise?
14:56Do you promise?
14:56Why did he lie to you?
15:05That man's not my dad.
15:07It's Matthew.
15:11Matthew.
15:14Stop pretending.
15:15I've kept my side of the bargain for ten years.
15:18You've been lying to me this whole time.
15:20Matthew told me everything.
15:21His affair with Nadia.
15:22I know that you're not the child's father.
15:24It's Matthew.
15:25Nonsense.
15:26Why did you lie to me?
15:27It's all in your head.
15:28But we'll look after you and you'll forget all these absurd ideas.
15:32No, I'm not mine.
15:33It's your fault you lie to me, Anna.
15:35You lie to me, Anna.
15:37All you care about is my money.
15:42No.
15:43No.
15:44No.
15:45No.
15:46No.
15:47No.
15:49No.
15:51No.
15:53No.
15:53No.
15:57Let go.
15:58No.
15:58No.
15:59No.
16:00No.
16:00No.
16:06No.
16:12No.
16:18No.
18:18Your mother's in a coma.
18:20She's in a critical condition.
18:21You should come as soon as possible.
18:22Uh, I'm sorry, but I need to find my brother first, so, uh, uh, so, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
18:33Hi, this is Alba, I'm not here right now, so leave me a message.
18:49Oh, hi, Adrian, it's Leo.
19:16Hello? I'm not sure where mum is. Could you ring your sister and ask me?
19:24Uh, sure, if you like.
19:25And can we meet, please? I don't want to be alone.
19:34Look, I only started this job three months ago, so I'm afraid. My predecessor is responsible for Josephine being admitted.
19:41At the time, Josephine's disappearance wasn't deemed suspicious, but voluntary.
19:47Voluntary? Mm-hmm.
19:48No. Arno just did a pretty good job.
19:52Huh. So what, is this your, uh, your talents as a great detective? Huh? Is that it?
19:57Uh, Arno had Josephine admitted because, why, actually?
20:02So he could destroy her. Arno was obsessed with reputation. With his appearance.
20:09He would do anything to keep control of his family.
20:12And Josephine, she, she was the only Lissère that knew that I existed.
20:17Hold on, sorry. I'm struggling to keep up with you.
20:19I'm not the bastard Childe of Arno.
20:24I'm Matthews.
20:49Mum. Mum. Mum. Mum, it's me. Mum. Mum, it's me. Mum. Mum, it's me.
21:05Mum, it's me. Can you hear me?
21:10Mum, it's me.
21:40Mum, it's me? Mum, it's me.
21:45Mum, it's me.
21:47Mum, it's me.
21:49Where did you find that book?
21:51Er, there.
21:53Someone ripped a page out. There was a message on it.
21:57For my brother whom I love from the Earth to the Moon.
22:03It's the book I gave Hadrian.
22:08It was Mum's favourite.
22:13Josephine?
22:14Adrian?
22:15Did he visit you, huh?
22:18Did your son read this to you?
22:19Was it him?
22:21Josephine, how long's he known you were here?
22:23Josephine, how long?
22:24Josephine, how long's he known you were here?
22:28How long?
22:29How long?
22:30Why would Hadrian hide that he found your mum?
22:31I don't know.
22:32Why would Hadrian hide that he found your mum?
22:33I don't know.
22:34I don't know.
22:35I don't know.
22:36I don't know.
22:37I don't know.
22:38I don't know.
22:39I don't know.
22:40Did your son read this to you?
22:41Was it him?
22:44Josephine, how long's he known you were here?
22:47How long?
22:48Why would Hadrian hide that he found your mum?
22:57I don't know.
22:58I don't know.
23:16Arno's murder.
23:20It was never about the inheritance.
23:23It was revenge.
23:26Just a son who wanted to avenge his mother.
23:33No.
23:35Think about it.
23:37Hadrian starts digging around Arno.
23:43He finds Josephine.
23:46He finds me.
23:49He thinks it's because of me.
23:52The bastard that all this happened.
23:55So he set me up.
23:58And he kills Arno for revenge.
24:01It's not possible.
24:02No.
24:03He wouldn't do that.
24:04Where is he?
24:06Where's Hadrian?
24:08Well, I don't know.
24:11Call him now.
24:12Fuck.
24:13Hurry.
24:14He just left a message.
24:15Yeah, it's me.
24:16Your friend Albert.
24:17She's acting completely insane.
24:18I just picked up Leo.
24:19He's a mess.
24:20Got up here at the house with me.
24:21Alba!
24:22Alba!
24:23Wait!
24:24Wait!
24:25What are you doing?
24:26It's Hadrian.
24:27He has my son.
24:28Look, I am getting tired of all your shit now.
24:29Stop fucking around!
24:30Shut it!
24:31He's my son!
24:32He's my son!
24:33Come on!
24:34Come on!
24:35You're gonna regret this!
24:36Hey!
24:37What are you doing here?
24:38Police!

25:12Fuck!
25:13Come on!
25:14Hang on!
25:33I bet she's in trouble.
25:34I bet she's in trouble.
25:36Again.
25:37My family's cursed.
25:39No.
25:42Everything...
25:44is for a reason.
25:50And has a consequence.
25:52What does that mean?
25:53It means you don't need to keep making excuses for your mum.
25:55I...
25:56I shouldn't have come here.
26:00I...
26:01I...
26:02I shouldn't have come here.
26:03I...
26:04I shouldn't have come here.
26:05I...
26:06I shouldn't have come here.
26:07I...
26:08I...
26:09I...
26:10I...
26:11I...
26:12I...
26:13I...
26:14I...

26:17I...
26:18I...
26:19I...
26:20I...
26:21I...
26:22Do you think that's funny?
26:23A bit.
26:24A bit.
26:54I don't know...
26:55I'm begging you, Albert.
26:56Don't hurt him, please.
26:57He's my brother.
26:58He's mine, as well.
26:59Ah...
27:00Your grandpa's not my dad.
27:03It's Matthew.
27:04He's my brother.
27:06He's mine as well.
27:11Your grandpa's not my dad.
27:14It's Matthew.
27:32Everyone in my family wears a mask.
27:35So I've had to wear a mask as well.
27:43No, Mum.
27:52No, Mum.
27:53No, Mum.
27:54No, Mum.
27:55No, Mum.
27:57No, Mum.
28:04No, Mum.
28:05No, Mum.
28:06No, Mum.
28:07No, Mum.
28:08No, Mum.
28:11No, Mum.
29:51Am I interrupting?
29:53It's Manon Simony.
29:55I'm here so I can speak with my client.
29:57You can't do it alone, Alba.
29:59These people will crush you.
30:01Let me help you.
30:02I had the perfect plan.
30:15And you've ruined everything.
30:20Let me handle it.
30:21I'll find a solution.
30:22I have a bad feeling.
30:24I don't care about your bad feeling.
30:26Should I report you to the police?
30:28No.
30:31Don't worry.
30:32We'll make her regret this.
30:33Jack.
30:45Beatrice.
30:47Thanks to you, I was able to get rid of the dregs at least.
30:51Hello?
30:52Hello?
30:52Yes, it's me.
30:53No.
30:53No.
30:54Don't hang up on me.
30:56Don't hang up.
30:56Listen.
30:57Listen to me.
30:59You have to believe this.
31:00Do you?
31:01You have to believe, all right?
31:03Your mother is at the clinic with me.
31:05Come now.
31:06Well done.
31:25You've made me do the only thing I detest.
31:29Improvise.
31:30You've made me do the only thing I detest.
32:00Matthew.
32:21Matthew.
32:22How did you find me?
32:49Well, I know you quite well.
32:59Why are you wet?
33:00What were you doing?
33:08I screwed up.
33:09Never do that again, Matthew.
33:11I forbid it you understand.
33:32There's something I need to tell you.
34:02There's something I need to tell you.
34:16There's something I need to tell you.
34:26There's something I need to tell you.
34:32There's something I need to tell you.
34:52There's something I need to tell you.
35:08Adrian?
35:09Adrian?
35:10Adrian?
35:11Adrian?
35:12Adrian?
35:13Adrian?
35:14Adrian?
35:15No.
35:16No.
35:17It's not.
35:18It's my fault.
35:25It shouldn't hit me.
35:26You shouldn't hit me.
35:27It shouldn't hit me.
35:28It shouldn't hit me.
35:30I'm sorry.
35:34It shouldn't be me.
35:40I'm sorry.
35:48Leo!
35:56Leo! Leo!
35:58It's okay, I'm here.
35:59I didn't mean to mum, I swear.
36:01I'm here.
36:02What happened?
36:03It's him.
36:04The tattoo is him.
36:06What do you mean?
36:08The tattoo.
36:09Mum.
36:18I'm gonna lose everything.
36:25But you are too.
36:28I'll live into everything.
36:29No.
36:30The hero will go to prison.
36:33He'll be convicted for murdering someone innocent.
36:36No.
36:37He'll grow up far away from you.
36:38No.
36:39And you'll never see your son again outside of a fucking prison.
36:42Prison.
36:43No.
36:44No.
36:45No.
36:48You're going to say that it was self-defense.
36:54Because Hadrian is the killer.
36:59Hadrian.
37:01Hadrian killed Arno.
37:02No.
37:03That's what we'll say.
37:04That's what we'll say.
37:08Understood.
37:12Our silence for yours, okay?
37:13Shut the fuck up!
37:17I would rather die.
37:18No.
37:19No.
37:20No, Mum.
37:21Don't do it.
37:22No.
37:23No!
37:24No!
37:25No!
37:26No!
37:27No!
37:28No!
37:29No!
37:30No!
37:31No!
37:32No!
37:33No!
37:34No!
37:35No!
38:04No!
38:10No!
38:30All right.
38:31Fuck it. All right, thanks.
38:34Yeah, yeah, yeah. There.
38:47I'm going.
39:01Bye.
39:29Bye.
39:32Can I?
39:36Hold on, you're cheating.
39:39Okay, stop.
39:40Can I now?
39:41No.
39:42Wait.
39:50All right.
39:52Two.
39:53One.
39:58Ta-da!
40:00I signed for it yesterday.
40:04Mum, we can't afford this place.
40:06We can now. I'm a full-time employee.
40:09Hey, this is the first step to getting rich.
40:12Go ahead, choose your room.
40:15There's only one, so it won't be hard.
40:16Is there?
40:20What, you not a fan of it?
40:21Yeah, but...
40:22What's up?
40:23I can't stop thinking about what happened.
40:35Nothing happened other than what we told the police.
40:45So forget about it now.
40:47But I can't forget about it.
40:50Leo.
40:53You were burdened with carrying me all these years.
40:55Even though you weren't meant to do it.
40:57But that's over now, Leo.
40:59Things are back in place.
41:04Don't be scared anymore.
41:06Your fear.
41:10I'm taking it.
41:11Can I see my room?
41:12Yeah, go ahead.
41:13Go on.
41:15Oh yeah, it's not bad.
41:17I'm taking it.
41:19I'm taking it.
41:26Can I see my room?
41:30Yeah, go ahead.
41:31Go on.
41:40Oh yeah, it's not bad.
41:41I'm so mad.
41:48Hello?
41:49Is Matthew?
41:50Yeah.
42:11I don't know how much this champagne is worth.
42:33I'll stick to water.
42:36Oh, you're still sober.
42:39That's good.
42:41Oh, yeah, Mum, it is good.
42:42You could support him.
42:43I am.
42:44I'm very proud of you.
42:46Imagine a choice.
42:47It would be the last one.
42:48Well, yes, yes.
42:50Hitting rock bottom to climb back up.
42:52I know all about that.
43:04I can't believe it.
43:06Look who's returned.
43:13Hi.
43:16Hello.
43:19Don't tell me that our mystery buyer asked you to join us here.
43:23It was their lawyer.
43:26He insisted.
43:28Well, it sure seems like he knows all about us.
43:31So you're selling everything?
43:34To a stranger?
43:35Well, whoever wants my nasty, thorny roses can have them.
43:42By the way, let me remind you that you won't see a penny from this sale.
43:48You're no longer part of Arno's will, because...
43:52Because Matthew's my dad.
43:54Oh, yeah.
43:56I know that.
44:00Don't you worry about it.
44:03I want nothing.
44:05From you.
44:06But still you're here.
44:09Well, I suppose I just needed to come here once more.
44:14To remind myself how much I want to be rid of this place.
44:18That makes two of us.
44:20Three.
44:21Well, I care about this place.
44:23Come on.
44:24We could maybe start again instead of selling at an awful price.
44:28A awful price? Oh, come on.
44:30It's at full price.
44:32Which is unexpected.
44:34So that whole nightmare we just went through, I guess it was...
44:37For nothing.
44:38Stop it.
44:40Not long ago you wanted to break out of here.
44:42Now you're begging to fight for a mountain of debt.
44:44I don't want to make the mistake of rushing the sale.
44:46Like we're punishing ourselves because of Hadrian.
44:49Please don't talk about him.
44:58We haven't come to terms with it yet, but...
45:03We'll be okay.
45:04Hmm?
45:12I wasn't aware you'd be here.
45:14It's good to see you, huh?
45:18So we're selling?
45:20Hmm?
45:22We sell and forget it all.
45:23A bit like you, Mum, huh?
45:24You still don't remember anything about the attack at the clinic?
45:26No.
45:27My brain...
45:29Must've...
45:30Just warped it all.
45:32Uh...
45:33In, I suppose...
45:35Self-protection?
45:36In the end, Hadrian got what you wanted.
45:39The full of the estate...
45:41And probably the end of this family.
45:42Bravo to him!
45:43He got it.
45:44Stop it.
45:46He's my son.
45:49You know it's torn me apart.
45:52Don't you think it pains me how he could do something so horrid?
45:57I don't want to sell to punish myself.
45:59It's because I would die otherwise.
46:00I never said thank you.
46:01For saving my life, so...
46:06You're welcome.
46:07Okay, how about some bubbles?
46:08While we wait?
46:09I've stopped drinking.
46:10I've told you that, Mum.
46:11Then I won't.
46:12For you, Dad.
46:13Oh.
46:14Lucy, do you want some?
46:15No, thanks.
46:16Oh.
46:18Join me, Alba.
46:20I'm tired of all this sadness.
46:23And this will be the last time we see you.
46:25I'm tired of all this sadness.
46:26And this will be the last time we see each other.
46:27Oh.
46:28And this will be the last time we see each other.
46:29I would try.
46:30I would drink to that.
46:31I would drink to that.
46:32To that.
46:33To the family.
46:34Oh.
46:35You would never end up.
46:36Do you want some?
46:37Lucy, do you want some?
46:38No, thanks.
46:39Oh.
46:40Join me, Alba.
46:45I'm tired of all this sadness.
46:47And this will be the last time we see each other.
46:51I would drink to that.
46:57To the family.
47:02To the family.
47:14To the family.
47:21And we should never forget how marvelous it is that the future is unknown.
47:32To the family.
47:37To the family.
47:39To the family.

47:42To the family.
