1
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,640
THE LAUGHING LEFT (ALMOST) UNITED
2
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,640
How are you, honey?
3
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Tell me...
4
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,160
...what if we got married?
5
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,600
It's what you do when you're in love.
6
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,160
-We can be in love without a wedding.
-I want more.
7
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,440
That was a real proposal?
8
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,840
-You're pro-marriage?
-I'm pro-you.
9
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160
We're good together, right?
It's easy and smooth.
10
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,040
-And Salomé adores you.
-If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
11
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,040
You know, family,
the dress, City Hall, the party...
12
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Who cares about tradition?
13
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:23,800
Just you and me.
14
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:26,600
Our witnesses,
my daughter, your brother...
15
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,880
We'd need an officiant for the ceremony,
but Véro could do it.
16
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,400
Sorry, Philippe.
17
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,800
I might be a feminist witch,
but marriage isn't for me.
18
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,520
-Hello.
-Hello, sir.
19
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,440
-I saw you on the news...
-Yes?
20
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,280
I don't always agree with you,
but bravo.
21
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,920
-Thank you.
-Do you think the union will succeed?
22
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,520
We're getting there.
23
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,840
-Last time, the primaries were divisive.
-Because we did things backwards.
24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,640
Before picking the candidate,
we need to decide on a common platform.
25
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,240
Or we vote, but the losers
don't support the candidate,
26
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,800
as they disagree on the basics,
but in reality,
27
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,880
they disagree
with the result of the primary.
28
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,840
-Sorry, sir, may I say something?
-Hello.
29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,840
The platform is a good idea,
but with so many different opinions...
30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,080
Less than with the joint program,
when the CP supported the USSR.
31
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600
We all have the same red line: ecology.
32
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,680
It gets different names:
planification, revolution, transition...
33
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,560
But it's like cookies and biscuits.
34
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560
For Europe,
nobody on the left is for Frexit.
35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,920
You won't find anybody who says
that 3% is a hard and fast rule.
36
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,280
To me, it seems that Vidal doesn't want
a union for now.
37
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,760
For now.
38
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,280
For now,
he's giving you the cold-shoulder.
39
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,320
He's thinking and so he should.
It shouldn't be taken lightly.
40
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,080
When you ask someone to marry you,
you need to be patient.
41
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,440
If you walk out
because they didn't immediately say yes,
42
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,480
it doesn't really show your love!
43
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:59,080
On the contrary, you need
to show determination, passion,
44
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,960
and wait calmly,
sure of your joint destiny.
45
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Above all, don't rush them.
46
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Let them mull it over quietly
until they say yes.
47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,840
That's it.
48
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,840
Yes.
49
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,280
It's well done.
There's a direction, a will.
50
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,120
RICKWAERT'S LEFT
51
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,760
-Enthusiasm.
-"We should... we must."
52
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,760
No details or costings.
Total artistic blurring.
53
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,560
He'll take France 30 years backwards.
54
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,920
-Luckily, he has no chance.
-Seven months before is good timing.
55
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,480
-The people will never elect an ex-con.
-But they did vote for selection by lot.
56
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,960
Politics is all about space.
I know, as I made my own.
57
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,400
A central block between two extremes.
This referendum has destroyed it.
58
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,840
And Rickwaert, he...
is unearthing the left.
59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Madam President, you will start
your campaign today.
60
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,840
No.
61
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,360
I'll make this final year in office
a prolific one.
62
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,240
Each day must serve the country.
63
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,720
She hasn't told you?
64
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,280
Not a word on the campaign
since the vote.
65
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,600
It's in seven months.
She must've decided.
66
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,080
Thorigny has visited five cities
in a week! The media is flooded.
67
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,920
-Does she want Thorigny?
-If she doesn't run, I'll support you.
68
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,280
But I won't ask for her blessing
for you, okay?
69
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Mr. Vidal, please.
Over here, Mr. Vidal.
70
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,600
My presence here is proof
of my solidarity
71
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,680
with these unfortunate arrested people
whose lives were turned upside down
72
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,080
just for defending their beliefs.
73
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Contaminated blood, asbestos,
misuse of company assets, corruption,
74
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,480
opaque public procurement...
75
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,240
So many scandals
in our so-called democracy.
76
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,760
How many prison sentences?
77
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000
Today, François Mortier, 28 years old,
78
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,600
father to two children,
a homecare nurse,
79
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960
no criminal record,
with a wage of 1,200 euros
80
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,480
was sentenced to a year in prison
under committal order
81
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,560
for asking to count the "selection by
lot" votes at the recent referendum.
82
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:26,400
François Mortier, Marie Chassin,
Nabil Boukir, Marianne Robicourt,
83
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,120
Patrice Laroy, Maxime Raynard.
84
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:32,520
Remember these names,
they will be celebrated.
85
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Mr. Mercier, please.
86
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,360
-They were found guilty of violence.
-Mr. Mercier!
87
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,680
First, ask where violence comes from.
88
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,080
Refusal to count shows contempt.
Contempt for ideas.
89
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,640
What kind of democracy
has little regard for ideas?
90
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,880
The law forbids
counting "selection by lot" votes.
91
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,360
-Mr. Mercier.
-May I?
92
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,320
"The law forbids it."
Let's take the example of strikes.
93
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840
Before it became a right,
striking was a crime.
94
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240
Strikers were shot by law.
Was that fair?
95
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,360
The law is the expression
of a political balance of power
96
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
and you will soon see
97
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,560
that we will count the ballots
judged as spoiled.
98
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200
-Thanks for your support, Mr. Vidal.
-See you soon.
99
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
-Mr. Mercier!
-Mr. Vidal!
100
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,360
Mr. Vidal! Please, Mr. Vidal.
A question on the left's union.
101
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Do you think this is the time?
102
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,280
Why refuse Rickwaert's
outstretched hand?
103
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Outstretched hand? The clowns
who come and harass me shouting:
104
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,200
"Don't be stupid, Michel"?
Rickwaert and Co. should be with us.
105
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,440
Where are they?
In the sculleries,
106
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720
discussing tactics
and mazes of acronyms.
107
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,120
That's where their famous
left-wing union ends up:
108
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440
in the tragic forgetting
of those it is meant to defend.
109
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,520
No, maybe in half an hour? Not before.
110
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,160
I'll call you when I'm done.
111
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,160
Sorry, I was in a meeting.
112
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,800
-Well, at least things are clearer.
-Don't give up on Vidal.
113
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,480
Since the call to unite,
he's fallen from 19 to 12.
114
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,200
-The non-Vidal left is at 17.
-It isn't enough. Persevere. Get him in.
115
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,560
Philippe! Vidal is with Mercier.
He threw the shit at the fan.
116
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Accept his madness
and attack full force.
117
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,760
-It'd confirm an irreconcilable left.
-The left is irreconcilable.
118
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,200
If Vidal is still on the left.
The platform must be changed.
119
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,840
To hunt in Amélie's territory... Thanks.
120
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Daniel, hold your nerve.
What's behind "Don't be stupid, Michel"?
121
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,320
First stage, blackmail. Union or siphon.
122
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,400
You said it worked.
We siphoned off seven points.
123
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,720
Now, Phase Two.
Siphon leads to the union.
124
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,720
If we steal more points,
he'll be so low,
125
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,760
he'll give in and join the primary.
126
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240
I'll be clear: Vidal will never do it.
127
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,080
So why should I take on
his crazy plan for free?
128
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,200
I don't get it.
You're going round in circles.
129
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,120
You're a candidate in the primaries?
130
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,040
-It's no secret.
-Well, then,
131
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,440
if you win,
you need to defend the platform.
132
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,200
That's the aim.
The winner commits to the platform.
133
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,920
If I win, I couldn't do that.
134
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,520
About Europe in particular.
So it must be changed.
135
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,800
If you want the SP in the union,
of course.
136
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,520
-You'd sabotage the primaries?
-As the Greens agree,
137
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:14,400
we'll just renegotiate
the platform together.
138
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,280
-It'll be fine, Philippe.
-Have you seen the polls?
139
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,240
I'm at 17, not you or some random Green.
140
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Maybe. But we're paying.
141
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,040
"Don't be stupid" was costly,
a primary costs even more.
142
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,240
So the platform should at least
reflect my opinions.
143
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,840
Union involves compromise.
It can't be the same guys making them.
144
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,840
-Hello.
-How are you?
145
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,720
-Hello, everyone.
-Morning.
146
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,000
All right? Well, I'm
on the 8 o'clock news with Lapix.
147
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200
She'll bring up Mercier.
148
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:08,160
The sentences may seem severe,
but I have always stuck to the principle
149
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,600
that I never comment
on court decisions, Ms. Lapix.
150
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,600
On pro-Mercier Facebook groups,
Vidal's court visit went down well.
151
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,080
-He's just trying to save face.
-Vidal is like N'Golo Kanté.
152
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,440
-The best defender in world soccer.
-Another reason not to let him do it.
153
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,080
Mercier's videos are popular
with our target audience...
154
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,640
Yes, but we'll quickly move on.
155
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,000
The interview will mainly be
about Europe.
156
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,760
-What's new about Europe?
-What I will announce.
157
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,640
We're abandoning Frexit.
158
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,760
With our friends in Italy,
Poland, Czechia,
159
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Hungary and Austria,
who are in power in their countries,
160
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,880
we have a historical opportunity
to change Europe from within.
161
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,200
-Is this a joke?
-Two advantages.
162
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,800
One: without the euro we go under.
163
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,760
As I intend to become president,
I won't ruin the country in a month.
164
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,560
I love my country, it's true.
It isn't a slogan.
165
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Two: Frexit is scary.
It cost me victory last time.
166
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,040
It'll siphon votes from the right.
167
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,040
Boudard might support me
in the second round.
168
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,920
-It is the end of undemonization.
-Or the termination of National Rally.
169
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,200
For years, we've said that the eurozone
would prevent 70% of our program.
170
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,840
-It's total surrender.
-I prefer 30% to nothing at all.
171
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,800
That's what'll happen
if we force Frexit.
172
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Not at all.
Frexit can help us win.
173
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,120
The country is ready.
174
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,360
Oustism, radicalness everywhere.
175
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,200
Look at Mercier!
We're the natural outlet for it all
176
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,360
if we stay anti-establishment.
If not, Vidal mops up after us.
177
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,880
I've made my decision.
178
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,160
I hear your arguments,
but I make the decisions.
179
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
-It's a grave mistake.
-We'll only know at the end.
180
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,760
-Our voters...
-Enough!
181
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,320
We have seven months.
I need my generals with swords drawn,
182
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,680
ready to die in battle.
183
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,480
Anyone with misgivings may leave now.
184
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,000
Any other deserters?
185
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Then let's get to work.
186
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,080
I was with a teenage pop star
accused of online plagiarism.
187
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,120
The idiot wants to sue.
188
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Three hours to make him realize
that bad buzz would be worse.
189
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,760
It's impossible.
190
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,480
Kalhenberg with Europe,
Greens on nuclear power, even Dupraz...
191
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,280
-What does she want?
-"Inclusive secularism."
192
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,520
-Of course.
-She thinks it'll bring in votes.
193
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,680
Is she a candidate in the primaries too?
194
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,640
Not yet, but while Vidal's away,
the mice will play.
195
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,720
They rush in, thinking it's their time.
196
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,880
The polls support you, that's something.
197
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,200
I'm high because I represent unity.
198
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Now that Vidal has stalled,
I'll fall again. They all know it.
199
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,560
You'll come out on top
in the first round.
200
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400
They'll ally against me in the second.
201
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:30,240
The trap I set for Vidal comes back
to bite me. I'm a sitting duck.
202
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,400
It's true, your force and identity
are the union. Start with that.
203
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,160
Above all, no break in the narrative.
More like ramping up the power.
204
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,600
-A good joint rally.
-Philippe,
205
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,640
this conversation has been brewing
for a while and it's time for the truth.
206
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,280
Except you, Vidal, and a few Mohicans,
nobody cares about the program details.
207
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,840
It's awful, almost scary,
but that's how it is.
208
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,040
You're running for president.
You know how this election goes.
209
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Personalization,
incarnation, image, polls.
210
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,640
You can keep avoiding the obstacle,
211
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,800
but you need to confront it,
sooner rather than later.
212
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,760
For example, we could invite
a few more people to our wedding.
213
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,680
Kalhenberg, Dupraz,
Carthaud, a few Greens...
214
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,360
-It's brilliant.
-What is the left?
215
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,600
A big family.
216
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,840
Who united them? The Pater, the boss.
They all came for you.
217
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,840
The left union isn't the platform,
it's you.
218
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,720
The picture alone would crush the rest.
219
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,080
-On the steps of Dunkirk City Hall.
-Political and tabloid media together.
220
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,160
Stories about your laborer origins.
221
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,720
That'll hurt Vidal.
The only one not there, the grouch.
222
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,080
That'll siphon his votes. I could get
20% and push him below ten.
223
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,400
After the wedding, we'll announce
the candidacy at your peak.
224
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,360
You'll smash it all:
the platform and the primaries.
225
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,920
And I'm the Black Baron.
226
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200
-I'll call you back.
-Have you seen this?
227
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,840
FOREWORD BY LÉANDRA TALLIER,
MEP COMING SOON
228
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,400
"You reproach NF's national preferences,
229
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,480
accept that immigrant preferences
are contested."
230
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,200
"Whether the Great Replacement is done
by governments,
231
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,600
or happens spontaneously,
it doesn't make a difference,
232
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,400
it exists and must be stopped."
233
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,200
None of those are in my book.
234
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,560
I challenge you to find
a single racist word.
235
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,720
Maybe, but they are all by the author
of your book's foreword.
236
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,360
-Léandra Tallier is racist.
-These statements are shocking.
237
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,160
You know...
238
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,400
some of my followers criticized
our recent improvised press conference.
239
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,720
"Vidal is
an irresponsible politician too.
240
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,280
He has been an MP,
a senator, a minister...
241
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,240
He has been elected his entire life.
He built his career on it."
242
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,040
Hold on...
243
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,120
-I can find their comments.
-That's okay. I'm good at guessing.
244
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,440
Here is my answer:
245
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,320
"We wanted to unite society
around an idea.
246
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Reinstalling democracy
247
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,240
and power to the people by implementing
selection by lot systems.
248
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,440
Must uniting start with excluding?
249
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,120
Michel Vidal supports our cause, but
must we filter political tendencies?"
250
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,080
Michel, everybody gets
the same treatment.
251
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,480
We can't say: "I won't discuss with you,
as you are this or that."
252
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,400
When you call a racist a "dirty racist",
they will remain as such.
253
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,840
But if you talk with them, they can
change. They're human after all.
254
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,680
We mustn't discriminate opinions.
255
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,280
You, for example,
256
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,000
often say that you want to gain votes
from National Front supporters.
257
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:21,040
I'll say it how I see it.
You're like a teenager in politics.
258
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:27,360
You swing from joy to revolt.
You have the courage...
259
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,400
the freshness, the naivety necessary
to fight tooth and nail,
260
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,160
but adolescence can also be aimless.
261
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Firstly, racism is not an opinion
but a crime.
262
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,680
Secondly, Léandra Tallier is not
a simple MP
263
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,600
who lost her way at NF,
but a staunch nationalist.
264
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,600
Thirdly, I will never accept
a link between her and myself
265
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,320
after dedicating my whole life
to defending the Lumières. Grow up!
266
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,160
Forgive me, I'm lecturing you.
Forget it.
267
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,600
It's my fault.
I disrespected you without realizing.
268
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,720
Christophe, you have an audience.
269
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,760
You are a guiding light for many
lost souls humiliated by the system.
270
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:29,000
For the presidential election,
those people will have two options:
271
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,640
either Chalon, who wants to screen
our fellow citizens according to origin,
272
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,960
or myself, who proposes a constituent
with citizens selected by lot.
273
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,960
I understand, Michel.
274
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,600
The studies are clear:
two glasses a day is fine.
275
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,240
If it's good,
then it comes recommended.
276
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,280
-WHO has our backs, my dear!
-Yes, Malika.
277
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:05,960
Great. I'll be right down.
I have to go.
278
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:12,080
The terrorist threat level?
I bet it's Skype with Putin.
279
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,720
Not even close.
A gallery opening at City Hall.
280
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,880
-That sounds dull.
-No doubt it will be.
281
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,800
I'll watch Game of Thrones
on your top-of-the-range projector then.
282
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,560
Seeing as you're abandoning me,
I may as well make the most of it.
283
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,920
-Nonsense.
-It's true.
284
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,480
-I feel very sad and lonely.
-Then come with me.
285
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,680
-Seriously?
-Yes.
286
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,160
He started by saying the wedding
calendar for Dunkirk
287
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,200
was already finalized
and he couldn't replace his deputy
288
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,280
unless he married you himself.
289
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,040
The architect of the left union
married by the right.
290
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,240
Can you imagine? No.
So I sent an official letter.
291
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,440
No response after one week.
292
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,560
I texted him saying if I took as long
to answer his grant requests,
293
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,400
he would be just as angry as me.
Bingo. He gave in.
294
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Philippe, you've begged me for weeks
to officiate the wedding
295
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,280
and you're playing on your phone!
296
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,200
I'm not, I'm talking to Amélie.
297
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
You must've noticed.
298
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,680
I had to congratulate her. A typical
bobo, but they're good together.
299
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,720
-He's quite handsome.
-It's the message that's important.
300
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,800
Being seen with a guy,
for a control freak like her,
301
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,560
means she won't be running.
302
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,720
-Of course.
-I'll be against Thorigny.
303
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,800
A good old Liberal with a CEO's head.
304
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,720
It isn't quite a walk in the park,
but space is opening up for me.
305
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,320
Nothing can touch me now.
My best friend is going to marry me!
306
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,720
I'm so happy. Thank you.
307
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,000
What did Amélie say?
308
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,000
"Thank you for your kind message.
309
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,800
I'm sorry for not saying earlier
that you and Naïma make a lovely couple.
310
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,200
-Best wishes to you both, Amélie."
-Classy.
311
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:09,640
Politics makes her obtuse.
She's actually a lovely person.
312
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,440
I would if I could,
but you know how it is.
313
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Sorry, Mr. Mayor, isn't it up to you?
It's your name, your free will.
314
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,960
It's a bit more complicated.
315
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,840
-Last time, you supported Lionel Chalon.
-Precisely.
316
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,440
The right in power
really made me pay for it.
317
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,800
Before, there was a bus every hour.
318
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,680
Now, it's three times a day
if we're lucky.
319
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,120
They say it isn't related.
"Cutting costs."
320
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,680
That's what we want to change if we win.
Restore public services to rural areas.
321
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,960
Make France a nation of equality.
322
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:47,640
Sir, I'll take care
of the irresponsible politicians.
323
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,320
A good clear out.
Trust me, I won't disappoint.
324
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,320
-But I need your help.
-I'll likely vote for you,
325
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,520
but in the meantime,
I have a village to keep afloat.
326
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,840
For that, I need support
from the local authorities.
327
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,240
Who runs those authorities?
The big parties.
328
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,320
I'm sorry, but I can't.
329
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,160
124 signatures,
but they are only promises.
330
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,680
-For the last sponsorship campaign...
-Wait.
331
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,920
Friends, I wanted you to see the tyranny
of the system with your own eyes.
332
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,000
As you heard from the mouth of this
brave mayor, the dice are loaded.
333
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,640
Blackmail, intimidation,
retaliation measures, extortion...
334
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Anything goes.
We are living in a mafia dictatorship.
335
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,520
We must reinstate democracy
336
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,680
by freeing ourselves from power thieves.
That is my program.
337
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,120
Christophe Mercier on the streets
of our great country.
338
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,040
The greatest in the world.
Stand strong.
339
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,960
Share and keep sharing.
Everyone must know the truth.
340
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,160
Well played.
341
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,880
Now, it's three times a day
if we're lucky.
342
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,640
They say it isn't related.
"Cutting costs." I'm not an idiot.
343
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,840
That's what we want to change if we win.
Restore public services to rural areas.
344
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,640
Make France a nation of equality.
345
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,240
Sir, I'll take care
of the irresponsible politicians.
346
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,280
A good clear out.
Trust me, I won't disappoint...
347
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:20,200
We're screwed. Out of three
weather apps, two forecast rain.
348
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:24,000
Forget the apps, they aren't
from Dunkirk. I said it'll be sunny.
349
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,720
They say it'll be windy.
The marquee will get blown away!
350
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,440
-I love it when you freak out.
-I'm not freaking out, I'm organizing.
351
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,920
Come here.
352
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,120
Freaking out is normal. I freak out too.
353
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,600
But I have an advantage:
I've done hundreds of weddings.
354
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,680
I know the protocol inside out,
that helps to anticipate.
355
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,920
Let's rehearse. It'll settle the nerves.
356
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,280
It starts with Article 212.
357
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,520
"The spouses pledge mutual respect,
fidelity, help and assistance."
358
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,520
Then... it's 213.
That's about kids, we'll skip that.
359
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,160
214. "If the matrimonial agreements
do not regulate
360
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,320
the spousal contribution
to the expenses of the marriage,
361
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,520
they shall contribute in proportion
to their respective faculties, etc."
362
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Then we quickly come to
363
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:23,960
"the moment that unites us in this
majestic space..." No! "Majestic room."
364
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:27,560
"Mr. Philippe Rickwaert,
do you take
365
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Ms. Naïma Meziani to be your lawful
wedded husband... Wife!
366
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Here, before you."
367
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,040
Yes.
368
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,560
"Ms. Naïma Meziani,
369
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,920
do you take Mr. Philippe Rickwaert
to be your lawful wedded husband?
370
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,400
Here, before you."
371
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,040
Yes.
372
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,440
Yes! Say it again.
373
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,920
-Yes. Yes.
-Yes. Yes.
374
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,240
It is with great emotion,
impossible to hide...
375
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,160
...that I have the honor of welcoming
you all
376
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,720
to celebrate the union
of Ms. Naïma Meziani
377
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,240
and Mr. Philippe Rickwaert.
It's emotional as...
378
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,920
it is not only a personal friend
that I have the privilege of marrying,
379
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,360
but also the former mayor
of our city, Dunkirk.
380
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Dear Naïma, dear Philippe,
I don't need to say that you are home.
381
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,880
-Look who's here.
-It's Vidal.
382
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,680
-It's Vidal.
-What's he doing here?
383
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Please. Please!
384
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,880
Among the symbols attached to this
republican union that is marriage,
385
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:54,280
I have always been partial to leaving
the doors of this room open...
386
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,280
-Seriously?
-...for all citizens, if they so wish,
387
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,760
-to witness...
-I love you, Mr. President.
388
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760
The Commission intends
to lower the CAP's budget.
389
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,600
The question is by how much?
There's talk of 10%.
390
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,120
-That's a lot.
-Too much.
391
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,280
The Swedes say it's testing the waters
to get less than 5%.
392
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,960
At a time where the agricultural sector
needs significant investment,
393
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,960
-1% is too much.
-I think the key is...
394
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,720
Watch out, the baddies are coming!
395
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,480
Gather round for a photo.
396
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,600
-Oh, yes.
-My darling.
397
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:45,800
Oh, yeah?
398
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,640
Over here!
One for me and one for you.
399
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,360
It wasn't me!
400
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,280
-...eat some grass.
-You all right, Dad?
401
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,600
-Are you well?
-Yes.
402
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,040
You did the right thing.
403
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,080
-I'd have done the same thing.
-It had to be done.
404
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,480
The groom!
405
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,160
Better still, the groom's father!
406
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,240
Let me introduce you to a big fan.
407
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,440
-Pleasure, Mr. Rickwaert.
-We've met before.
408
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,000
In 1990. The great strike
at Dunkirk's autonomous port.
409
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,200
-We got you up on that crane.
-Oh, yes!
410
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:28,920
-You see, he remembers. I told you.
-Yes.
411
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,880
I haven't voted since '83,
after Mitterrand's betrayal.
412
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,400
But last time, I voted for you.
I thought: "He's a true red."
413
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,000
-Thank you.
-We sang too.
414
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,800
-Yes.
-Leave the machines
415
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,400
Get out, workers
416
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,080
March on, march on
417
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,960
Prepare to fight
418
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Flags hoisted and weapons loaded
419
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,520
Quick march, advance to attack
420
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,160
We must win the world!
421
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,640
Workers, stand up!
422
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,720
With your dad it was a crane,
you want to get me on that platform.
423
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,160
That's one way of seeing it.
424
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,400
How will we do it?
Where's your platform?
425
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,840
-Maybe this isn't the time.
-Why not?
426
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,640
We're here. Make the most of it.
427
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,880
You've been saying for months
428
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,960
that you can get everyone
to agree in under ten minutes. Do it.
429
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,200
...the wrath of the masses
430
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,920
In London, in Paris, Budapest and Berlin
431
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,600
Seize the power, army of workers
432
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,160
Take your revenge,
433
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,840
army of workers
434
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,360
The best of us
435
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,720
died in battle
436
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,840
Beaten, knocked down, chained
437
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,040
in labor camps
438
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,720
We have no fear of torture and death
439
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Forward, workers
Let us be ready and strong
440
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,960
Forward, workers
441
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:27,840
Let us be ready and strong
442
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,600
Bravo!
443
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,880
Yes!
444
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,120
See what we're missing?
Why did you leave me again?
445
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,400
-I left you?
-Like an old piece of shit.
446
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,600
I am but a shadow of my former self.
447
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,240
-I am adrift.
-Don't drift too much!
448
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,720
Sorry.
449
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,840
He took my word, the old scoundrel.
450
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,720
He's in the photo.
It deserves a meeting.
451
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,840
He'll have to wait for Monday.
452
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,880
What if tomorrow,
Vidal says you won't negotiate?
453
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,600
I won't hold a meeting
on our wedding day!
454
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,120
Our real wedding was this morning
in the bedroom.
455
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,080
PLATFORM TO UNITE THE LEFT
AND THE ECOLOGISTS
456
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,320
It's not bad. Except the title
which stinks of naphthalene.
457
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,760
-Why not a "For a Popular Federation"?
-Fine. Does everyone agree?
458
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,520
There's no "ecology"
which was to be the union's glue.
459
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,280
I won't impose a reference to communism,
but there's no "left" either.
460
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,600
The people haven't identified
with the left for some time.
461
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,440
Due to hearing
it's the same as the right.
462
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,160
What about "social"? "For a popular,
social and ecological federation."
463
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,360
-"Ecological and social."
-Okay.
464
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,160
Now the elephant in the room: Europe.
465
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,360
-I'll have a coffee. Not a lot to ask.
-What's the problem?
466
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,880
"Leaving the treaties"
isn't leaving Europe.
467
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,720
It is.
What is Europe? Treaties.
468
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,040
We're just taking green spending
out of the deficit calculation.
469
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,360
-That's all.
-I think austerity should be abolished,
470
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,920
but since Philippe has taken
70% of my program,
471
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,720
I'm willing to limit
the arm wrestling to ecology.
472
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,960
-You're the block, Daniel.
-No, Véro, it's reality.
473
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,640
-The reality is a climate time bomb.
-Exactly.
474
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,640
We need Europe!
Leaving is the last thing we need.
475
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,800
-Nobody wants to leave.
-Okay.
476
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Imagine we push the deficit to 5%.
What happens then?
477
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,560
Other countries copy us.
478
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,360
The great French nation lights the way
for the lost people of Europe.
479
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,640
In less pompous terms, they'll catch us
to renegotiate the treaties.
480
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,040
-Europe is nothing without France.
-Except in reality,
481
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,680
they'll hit us with a fine
for excessive deficit.
482
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,040
-We won't pay.
-Of course...
483
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,040
Why bother? No respect for anything!
484
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,480
That's what I've been saying.
An uncontrolled voyage
485
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,320
to leaving Europe.
Well, I won't be joining you.
486
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,600
How much is the fine?
487
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,480
Between 0.2 and 0.5% of GDP:
five to ten billion.
488
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,840
And we're fighting over ten billion?
It needs to be paid.
489
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,120
We're infringing on the 3%,
but only for ecology.
490
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,840
Pay the fines and we stay.
491
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,240
We leave the logic,
but not the treaties.
492
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,040
Michel?
493
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,600
It's giving the finger to Brussels.
494
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,760
The sanctions system is reinterpreted
as a right to disobey. Bravo, Philippe.
495
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,400
Shame that the SP is dead,
you'd have been a great First Secretary.
496
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,520
An excellent overview.
497
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,360
Champagne!
It's my wedding after all!
498
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,400
To marriage!
499
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,040
He comes in with a hit, I dodge,
500
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,600
a hit to the stomach,
a right hook and he falls.
501
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,840
He was six feet tall!
I still have marks on my knuckles.
502
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Yeah, right. That's not what Dad said.
503
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,320
A bottle, please. Can you bring a case
into the house, please?
504
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,920
Thank you.
505
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,680
-You both look lovely.
-Where have you been?
506
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,080
There are always things
to sort out at a wedding!
507
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,440
What?
508
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040
-Really?
-Someone got annoyed that there was...
509
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,480
-...he'd smack him...
-He's a bit old.
510
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,880
-...dirty socialist traitor.
-Is that clear?
511
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,000
Have you seen Mercier's video?
512
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,920
When he compares us to a cancer,
or when he filmed that poor mayor?
513
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,720
No, the one where he criticizes
the anti-democratic system
514
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,720
of the 500 signatures.
515
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Do you remember my score
at the last presidential election?
516
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,800
-You never let us forget: 14.8.
-But you may have forgotten
517
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,520
the number of backers I obtained: 507.
Seven signatures less
518
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,000
and I couldn't have run.
519
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,680
Six million citizens would've been
deprived of my candidacy.
520
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,960
-So what?
-Mercier's candidacy is legitimate.
521
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,840
It is our responsibility to say it.
522
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,360
-Come on.
-Unbelievable. You idiot.
523
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,720
-Champagne!
-He has relapsed.
524
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,560
Support Mercier! I warned you.
The best jokes come to an end.
525
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:18,920
-What's going on?
-Our central task is uniting the people.
526
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,680
To do that, we must answer
the only important question:
527
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,000
are we for the people or for oligarchy?
528
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,760
So it's our attitude to Mercier
which is revealing?
529
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,160
-It makes sense.
-You're crazy.
530
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,480
Daniel, let's listen. Michel,
531
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,440
we have a constituent with selection
by lot and recognition of blank ballots.
532
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,360
We'll be lucky if 1,000 layabouts
bother to read it.
533
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,760
We need strong action. A call
to all elected officials so that Mercier
534
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,800
gets his 500 signatures,
as his candidacy is legitimate.
535
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,360
Now listen here,
my polls aren't great,
536
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,040
but I guarantee
that no member of Blum's party
537
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,440
-will back that Nazi Mercier!
-Oh, yes!
538
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,320
I'd like to be like you,
Nazi or not Nazi.
539
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,000
-It'd be refreshing.
-I'll teach you.
540
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,080
Mercier is a Nazi and you're in on it!
541
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:07,320
-What did you say?
-Nazi collaborator!
542
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,880
-A Gestapo jerk!
-Calm down!
543
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,040
-SS ass kisser!
-Stop it!
544
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,560
-That's enough!
-Forty years in service
545
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:20,560
and I get called a Nazi by the snooty
middle classes! I'm too old.
546
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:23,880
-Get him, Daniel will apologize.
-Over my dead body.
547
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,560
Are you a total idiot?
You want the responsibility of de-unity?
548
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:31,360
Enough from you. Your fake wedding
to screw us over was borderline,
549
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,080
but Mercier? Never!
550
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:36,640
Vidal was cuckolded by Mercier!
He needs help to save face.
551
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,760
By allowing this Nazi Mercier to run?
552
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,720
We'll tell our elected officials
that it is to secure Vidal.
553
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,440
Can you see me getting signatures
for Mercier?
554
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,160
When Aurore brings him back,
apologize to him.
555
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,320
And you should apologize to me too.
My marriage is not fake at all.
556
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,760
Michel! Michel!
557
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:07,200
-He wants to apologize.
-He could run through the capital naked
558
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,360
saying he wants my kids,
nothing changes.
559
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,080
We can't win the presidential elections
with their left-wing union.
560
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:17,000
-Why not?
-Because the revolution has begun.
561
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,880
How does Lenin define
a revolutionary situation?
562
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,720
"Bottoms don't want
and the tops cannot."
563
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,880
That's it. "The tops cannot."
564
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,960
The State is destroyed
after 30 years of neo-liberalism.
565
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,200
The social link is dislocated such that
566
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,800
the President can't even run
for election.
567
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,280
"Bottoms don't want."
People challenge our institutions,
568
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,800
detest politicians, hate the media,
suspect police, the justice system,
569
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,600
such that the bond holding
society together will snap:
570
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,320
consent to state authority.
571
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,560
Lenin also says there is a chance event
572
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:49,840
that triggers an avalanche,
leading to revolution.
573
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,680
-That chance event has already happened.
-What's that?
574
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,160
Mercier's arrival.
Tens of thousands of people
575
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,880
who were politically disconnected
rushed to the ballot boxes
576
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,720
shouting: "Get them out,
we'll do it ourselves."
577
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,920
-That isn't about to stop.
-If that's a revolution...
578
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,960
That's where Robespierre
comes in useful.
579
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,640
A revolution consists of two stages:
one destructive, and one reconstructive.
580
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,760
Mercier is the first, I'm the second.
581
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,160
-You want an alliance with Mercier?
-Not at all.
582
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,640
You want us to help
with his 500 signatures!
583
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,880
To show that I am anti-establishment.
584
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,240
What will Mercier's supporters do?
They'll vote for the one
585
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,680
who broke the old left's endless debate
586
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,720
by denouncing Mercier's demonization,
and that's me.
587
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,800
What if Mercier gets the signatures?
588
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,560
Impossible.
The system he criticizes exists.
589
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:46,040
Léandra Tallier will get him
150 signatures. 350 short.
590
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,960
The path to power is starting to clear.
The hardest is yet to come.
591
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,360
Chin up! I'm not worried,
but I must stay focused.
592
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,520
Even if Philippe wins the primary
for the left, he's trapped.
593
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,720
After siphoning Mercier,
the tactical vote is in your favor.
594
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,280
You'll siphon the old left
and what'll they get? Not even 5%.
595
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,080
Aurore, the revolution has begun.
596
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:15,920
It is the only moment in history where
revolutionaries have a role to play.
597
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,360
Michel, wait!
598
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,840
Philippe!
599
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,320
Your dad just saw them
in the parking lot.
600
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600
-Michel!
-Hi, Philippe!
601
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,800
What a lovely wedding!
602
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,440
With the country's weight on your back,
you fall straight to sleep.
603
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,600
Now that you'll soon be free,
you can't sleep.
604
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,320
Wait here.
605
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,800
Problem... solution.
606
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,640
-I am the President of France, Olivier.
-I know.
607
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,560
France needs you to sleep.
608
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,600
Don't worry, it's very soft.
609
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,280
Personally produced
by a friend from college.
610
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,720
Natural, no GMOs...
611
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,480
Truly organic.
612
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,600
-Two drags and you'll sleep like a baby.
-You got that in?
613
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,840
Yes. Small remark:
security is a bit lax.
614
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,800
You can start at any age.
I started at 25.
615
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,520
I had to write an article,
but my mind was blank.
616
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,960
I was really stressed.
I wandered the streets of Paris.
617
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,720
I ended up in a bar.
I got chatting to the bartender.
618
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,320
He gave me my first joint.
It got rid of all my stress.
619
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,240
I went home and wrote all night.
620
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,840
The quality wasn't great, I'll admit.
Avoid it before a rally.
621
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,080
-But sometimes, it comes in handy.
-This is handy...
622
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,000
-A Gestapo jerk!
-Calm down!
623
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,280
-A Gestapo jerk!
-Calm down!
624
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,640
-A Gestapo jerk!
-Calm down!
625
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,600
-A Gestapo jerk!
-Calm down!
626
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,960
You know that I'm progressive.
627
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,960
I place nothing
above the necessity of fairness.
628
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,040
Unemployment, although lower,
remains too high.
629
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,640
This is not fair.
630
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,000
Purchasing power,
despite being on the increase,
631
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,920
remains weak for many people
who work, and work hard.
632
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,440
This is not fair. Education,
633
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,440
which should be
the first lever to liberation,
634
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,960
reproduces the inequalities of birth.
This is not fair.
635
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,400
Fellow citizens,
to correct this injustice,
636
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,960
these inequalities, these gashes
in the republican pact,
637
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,880
I have decided to stand
for re-election as president.
638
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,640
You have already heard
this profession of faith,
639
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,040
"redistribution happens now."
640
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,650
All too often, this attractive promise
641
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,640
smashes against the wall
of financial hardship.
642
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,640
Two terms for two stages of action.
643
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:15,080
First, purification in order
to redistribute in justice.
644
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:20,160
At the same time, we must take up the
biggest challenge of our time: ecology.
645
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,080
Preserving biodiversity
and in the end, humanity.
646
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,280
Victor Hugo once said:
647
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:31,000
"When France meets an idea,
they'll travel the world together."
648
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,680
That is my plan.
649
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,480
This is why,
if you put your trust in me once again,
650
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:42,160
France will be exempt from the 3% rule
for green investments.
651
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:48,760
I'd like to say one last thing, on a
subject dear to our hearts: democracy.
652
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:54,720
I know some believe it to be artificial
or describe our country as dictatorship.
653
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,680
While the debate is raging,
let us conduct it transparently,
654
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,120
for all to see,
as part of the electoral process.
655
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,920
This is why I now sincerely address
our nation's elected officials
656
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:15,040
to allow the candidacy of Mr. Christophe
Mercier, not to mention names.
657
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,560
As no, in France there are
no forbidden debates.
658
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:23,840
In France there is no system targeted
at stifling the debate of ideas.
659
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,160
In France, there are views of the world
660
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,560
which are expressed
and made clear by the people's vote.
661
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,000
Combining continuity
and disruption is impressive,
662
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,000
but bluffing Mercier's signatures
was incredible.
663
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,680
It wasn't a bluff.
664
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,720
I want him to get his 500 backers
and you'll take care of it.
665
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,800
Mercier will act as a double siphon
on the two extremes.
666
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,320
He'll compete
with both Chalon and Vidal.
667
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,280
They'll learn the hard way
what anti-establishment means.
668
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,960
The nutcracker is back.
I'm in a vise between Vidal and Amélie.
669
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,680
They'll smash me up
and share out the crumbs.
670
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,240
You can loosen the vise.
671
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,680
You need a new way
of reading the situation.
672
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,440
You're center-left, the balancing point.
673
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,680
Presidency isn't my dream.
I haven't thought about it since school.
674
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,800
I'm an activist.
675
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,880
I led the fight to build a union.
I lost, that's the game.
676
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,120
I must accept that.
There is one thing I mustn't do!
677
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,400
Add division to division.
678
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,640
I've always advocated the union. I have
coherence, an identity, a loyalty.
679
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,000
That comes before my ego.
It'll pay off one day.
680
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,640
The cursed prophet
of the left-wing union.
681
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,040
-There are worse fates.
-It reminds me of someone.
682
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,760
Trotsky. He put coherence
before everything else.
683
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,280
He lost power within a year
and got an ice axe in his skull.
684
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,400
We're talking about walking the desert
for six years.
685
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,480
Times have changed.
The long-term doesn't exist anymore.
686
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,520
If you don't do it now,
they'll bury you.
687
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,040
You won't be vintage, you'll be a relic.
688
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,640
