DANGER DON'T PICK UP HITCHHIKERS
Should we stop?
Absolutely not.
We don't pick up hitchhikers.
You can't be serious. It's too dangerous.
Calm down, or I'll make you calm down.
-Get out of the car. -No!
Are you all right?
I said, get out!
What the hell do you think you're doing?
You want this guy? You're trying to pull a fast one on me?
I took you everywhere! I was at your beck and call!
Get out of here! Just go!
You can keep that whore!
Asshole!
Dickhead!
You're just a slut!
Get out of here!
What a nightmare, this guy. I can't believe this.
Thank you.
This could have been really bad.
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry, I don't speak French.
It's nothing. I am an idiot.
What about you?
No, I was hitchhiking, and he picked me up.
To England?
I know what that's like.
Life on the road.
One, two, three...
I win!
I think it's because of the road killer.
Yeah, well, that's what I said.
They found corpses on the road, their throat slit.
The whole area is terrified.
Of course I am. That's why I don't want to stay here.
We need to help each other.
Ah? You speak French now?
A little.
I agree, it's better if we stick together. It's safer.
One, two, three...
Paper!
Do you want some...
Do you want a chair?
"Do you want a chair?"
I was practicing.
My signature.
What about you? Why don't you learn French?
Why don't you carry a bag?
-Wait! -Give it back.
I'm just looking.
Jack Withe. Born on August 12.
No. You look cute.
We were born a week apart.
Yeah, it's cool.
You're a good guy.
I can feel it.
Come on in!
The water is so nice! Come on!
Yeah?
No, tell me.
What did she do? Did she steal your bags?
That's not exactly a best friend.
Shit.
Bad luck.
I can imagine.
You should forget about her.
Or she will stick to you like a bad odor.
Live in the present.
Do what you want.
You are free.
You're a nice kisser.
Do you understand?
Come on!
I am sorry.
The car?
She's English.
But do come in!
Let's go.
You travel light.
Well, then, you have to tell me the story.
I am interested. Where did it start, how does it end...?
♪ I am dying ♪
♪ I am clocking in ♪
♪ Near my house ♪
♪ In my heart ♪
Well, excuse me. Make yourself at home.
What I really like is to listen to the sound of this car.
What the...?
My God.
Stay in the car. I'll go see what it is.
It's a rabbit.
It's crazy how many animals die on the road.
Yeah, well...
As long as we're not stuck in a ditch.
I've known dumb ones,
but as far as rabbits go, this one takes the cake.
You must be joking.
You must be hungry.
So we're going to eat some rabbit.
I haven't been to England for a long time.
It must have changed a lot.
What about you, miss? Which way are you going?
Why?
I was just wondering.
I was just wondering if you were going the same way.
Both of you.
It's plausible.
It's none of your business.
I don't know.
Tired, right?
What about you, miss? Your parents?
Dead. Both of them.
A long time.
You eat, you sleep, and tomorrow...
Oh, wait! I am such an idiot!
Oh, yeah? And what is that?
You're going to swim across the Channel?
Ah! Damn it.
I've looked everywhere for it.
Why did I put it here?
I completely forgot where I put it.
Here. Please.
Thank you.
Here we are, my house.
Mary, darling, look who I've brought home.
Two young travelers lost on the road.
Our friend here is a young Englishman, Jack,
Come in.
Darling, would you show Jack his room?
Of course. Follow me.
And I'll show you yours.
I can carry that.
...unexpected.
Good God.
Did you see how they were looking at me?
I don't trust them.
Youngsters, dinner is ready.
To your good health!
My love.
Are you vegetarian?
It melts in your mouth.
What is wrong with you?
I would rather be a vegetarian
than stuff my face with all the flesh that you eat.
Leave him be.
I would rather talk about something else.
Please.
Nonsense!
That's not true.
Everybody knows around here that he's lurking,
looking for his next victim.
-I'm sorry, but everybody knows. -Yes, that's true.
He only attacks the weak and the vulnerable.
Children, old people.
Women who travel alone.
And hitchhikers.
You're a pain.
You want one?
Will you stop saying you're sorry?
You English spend your time apologizing.
Why do you always apologize?
It's fine. Forget it.
I don't know. I never fought back.
Well...
When I was little, my brother and I
would play hide-and-seek in the fields.
And...
One day...
We went a little too far.
And...
A tractor drove by.
And...
It was too late.
The tractor...
...mauled my brother.
So, now, whenever I think about my brother,
I see blood.
And...
My mother always thought it was my fault.
Do you understand?
Really?
I really like France.
I'm tired. I should go to bed.
GRIZARD: What are you playing at?
What is all this melodrama?
Everything was going well.
You're going to ruin everything.
MARY: Why are you doing this?
I can't do this anymore!
GRIZARD: Did you take your pills?
TV: The company that charters ferries across the channel
announces a day of strike and blockades.
Unions did not find an agreement
with the leadership regarding a salary increase.
It will be the third day of strike...
I'm happy to see you.
Passengers have been stuck for several days...
"Tomorrow is another day."
What are you doing?
I am looking for...
Let's see, a piece of cloth...
...of this size.
Yeah, right. I saw you looking at his passport.
I can't believe this.
You're not ashamed of going through other people's stuff?
TV: Now, following an unexpected turn of events,
the police seem to think...
I like quietude.
Just for my sake.
Just to taste it.
The police are concerned there may be
a dozen other victims whose corpses haven't been found,
and they are investigating cases of missing persons in the area.
We don't have children.
I am happy to have a drink with you
because my wife, she doesn't like to drink.
The police advise people not to pick up hitchhikers...
Meanwhile, temperatures are reaching a new high.
She claims it distracts her, and she can't focus on her painting.
She is very talented.
I travel a lot, you see. So, it depends.
I am not always a composer. Sometimes.
But you know, that's really dangerous.
I knew you were one of those.
Prying, snooping around.
But, you know, some things should be left alone.
Some things are asleep and should stay that way.
Right. That's understandable. You've walked a lot.
And all this chatting is tiring, right?
We'll talk more about it tomorrow. Good night.
You're a vegetarian, Jack?
Ah, shit!
Oh. She left.
There's nothing to understand. She left.
What? Oh, this?
Oh...
I'm just fixing things.
As you can see, this house is old.
There's always something that breaks, and I have to fix it.
What are you talking about?
Calm down.
Look, she left a note for you.
Poor Jack, love is fickle.
But you're young, you'll get over it.
Are you awake? I put you in the back with the animals
because there was no room in the front.
You've reached your final destination, my poor man.
Here...
I made you some food.
I hope you like rabbit.
What? What is it?
Ah, sorry!
Don't get all worked up, man. I don't speak English.
I am sorry.
Here. You see, this one,
I am keeping for later.
Beautiful animal, right?
Yes.
Yes. I've been doing this for 10 years.
The State pays me to do the dirty work
nobody else wants to do.
Pick up road kill.
They don't understand, you see.
It's the best job in the world.
Yes, it is. I am being paid to eat.
But I can't eat it all. Right, Jeanne?
Sometimes, the poor things are in such bad shape
that I can't do anything with them.
So, I bury them.
And then, sometimes,
I stuff them,
when they're not too damaged.
You see? Like this one.
Or this one.
It's pretty, isn't it?
You know...
Some people are ready to pay the big bucks to have stuffed animals.
Yes, yes.
Here you go.
I don't understand.
Anyhow.
I found you on the road, unconscious,
lying on the ground like those dead animals.
I didn't see that coming.
Although, it's a nice change.
Eat. It's really good.
There you go.
Come on.
Oh, yes, yes.
Come on, eat.
Well, shit. I invite you over for dinner,
and this is how you thank me?
And why not? Huh?
Wait, don't move. Or I could cut your little toe.
What a fool you are.
I am not going to cut your little toe.
That would be pure cruelty.
"What did I do to deserve this?"
Is that what you were thinking?
There you are. It will do you good.
What, you're not eating?
Come on.
Look at me.
That's it.
You're a good boy.
See, I knew you weren't a "homme-lette".
Here. Let me taste it.
Damn, it's so good.
Don't even think about it.
"Homme-lette"?
Poor little boy.
All right.
Say, I'll do you a favor.
I'll take you to the highway.
It's not that big of a detour,
and I have to go by the Chabrol farm to finish the job.
You won't remember anything when you wake up.
You'll be back where you started.
On the road. Imagine that.
You shouldn't have pissed off Grizard, boy.
But since he didn't kill you, you must be strong.
Come here.
Shit.
Damn it, the stove!
All right, let's finish this once and for all.
Where the hell did I put them?
Damn.
This little punk is really in trouble now.
In any case, they don't pay me enough for this shit.
Goddamn it. Where did he go?
At least we have his picture.
We really scared him, huh?
What are you doing?
The only thing we need to do is go to town
in order to get some pills.
We'll never get out of it.
It wasn't so...
Ah, shit.
Jack, they said you left! It was a nightmare!
I knew it. I knew you wouldn't leave me.
You're so sweet.
You need to cut this thing.
It's going to be all right. I feared you...
Wait.
They're back. We have to get out of here!
We need to go very far, very quickly.
Shit! I am losing it.
Leave me alone. I know what I am doing.
Leave it to me.
What the fuck are you doing, you sick people?
Are you crazy?
Look out, Jack!
Jack, are you all right? We have to get out of here!
Come on.
Come with me.
Don't ever forget how much I love you, no matter what happens.
They won't go very far on foot.
Running away is pointless.
What the fuck are you doing? Go away!
Calm down, my love. Calm down.
You English people aren't so strong after all.
Is anyone in here?
Who is there?
I've had enough of your nonsense.
Get out of there.
I have a knife that cuts, and I know how to use it.
Stay here. Don't worry.
What are you doing here?
I knew I heard someone.
Are you crazy?
I can't believe you did that.
Leave us alone!
Stop playing with that thing.
It's dangerous. Come on, put it down.
Leave us alone!
Come on, little girl. Calm down. That's enough.
Leave us alone!
Come here.
No, no, no. Wait, wait. Stop it.
Don't do anything stupid.
Help me, please.
Help me.
Fuck. Shit.
God. It hurts like hell!
Help me.
We're talking about flesh.
Flesh and blood. Do you hear me?
You're listening, but you won't hear.
Shit. Shit.
He didn't want to play with me.
But you want to play with me, Dad, don't you?
What did you do with the boy?
I said it was an accident.
Why won't you believe me? He tripped and fell.
Yeah, right. And as usual, Daddy has to clean it up.
I am Mr. Clean, right?
I'm sorry, Daddy.
Listen to me.
I thought you said he ran away.
I can't believe it.
This is going way too far, darling.
Oh, yeah? Too far?
Then, you shouldn't have come!
It's your own fault.
Sooner or later, they will find out if you keep doing this.
Shut up!
You won't always get away with it!
I've been wanting to do this for so long.
You have no right to do this to us, baby.
I am not a baby anymore.
And now, of course, you're interested in what I do.
That's too easy.
So, what are you going to do now? Are you going to kill us? Kill me?
Is that it? You want to kill your mother and I?
I am leaving with him. I can't live like this anymore.
What's gotten into you?
Shut up, damn it!
Shut up.
Dad, I love you.
I love you, but I hate you.
You will never understand.
Why?
-Why? -Because I can't take it anymore.
I can't be stuck in this idea anymore.
I am going crazy with you two!
You don't help me.
You can't help me.
For a long time, I hoped you would stop.
But I must admit it, you're crazy.
Shut up. Shut up, okay?
Yes, you're crazy.
Shut up! Shut up!
You will never stop.
I try to get away, but I always come back.
This time, it's over. I won't come back.
You will never stop.
Never. That's the problem.
You are a killer.
-Listen to me. -That's enough.
Don't forget that we are...
-That's enough. -Listen to me.
I know you will do it again.
You need me. We are your only family.
Listen to me!
Don't leave! I don't want you to leave.
Do you understand? I will do anything for you.
One, two, three.
Free, at last!
I couldn't have done this with anyone else.
Only you.
You brought me back to life.
"You brought me back to life?"
"Tu me fais revivre."
A little bit every day, okay?
With you.
