Danny, right.
[Papers rustle]We've been expecting you.
First month, upfront.
Okay.
[Speaking French]
And if you ever come short,
you can always tell me.
There's always work that needs
to be done around here, so...
Have a nice stay.
[Key chain rattling]

You have to be here every
night from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m.
If you're not,
the judge in charge of your case
will be notified
immediately
and you will be sent
back to jail.
If you find work, call us,
and we will change the time.
Any questions?
No.

Danny: It's fine. Thank you.
Good.
[Speaking French]
That thing you said
yesterday...
What kind of job is it?
[Water dripping]
Danny: Well, you need
to redo the whole room.
Laurence: Why?
Or else you'll have to repaint
it every six months.
If you buy the material,
I'll do it for you.
You know how to do it?
Yeah, I do.
[Taps clipboard]
How much?
[Tools rattle]
Two months' rental.
One.
Okay.
You take it back?
Yeah, I got it.
I'm gonna walk back.
You know the way?
I'll find it.
Okay.

Huh?
Why you won't talk to me?
You're too shy or what?
Oh, come on!
Where are you going?
Going out for lunch?
Can I come with you?
No.
Why?
Please!
I'm starving.
My mom's not here.
I have nothing to eat.
I'm gonna die.
Because of you.
Can you keep
your mouth shut?
[Inhales sharply]
I don't know...
Yeah.
[Sizzling]

[Utensil rattles]
[Flatware clatters]
Where are you from?
I know
you're from Denmark.
I know
you were in prison.
Well, I know
a lot about you.
So why do you
keep asking?
My dad says you never ask people
why they went to prison.
Well, you should listen
to your dad then, huh?
He's not around.
You know Tony Janssens?
No.
He's my dad.
He's in prison, too.
In Fresnes.
I'm not allowed
to visit him.
I don't know why, but...
whenever my mom goes,
she comes up with some excuse
not to bring me.
I think she doesn't want
me to see him anymore.
Or maybe he's the one who
doesn't want to see me.
I don't know.
But...I don't get it.
It's not fair.
I'm his daughter, you know.
Well, it's not easy
seeing your family
when you're inside.
You shouldn't judge him.
I'm not judging him.
I just want to see him.
You got kids?
No.
Why?
You don't like kids?
You didn't want them?
Or...you're...
[Bottle thunks]...just too old?
I thought we had
an agreement.
You talk too much.
You know that?
You got a cigarette?
For me? Please?
[Blows]
You want it?
Yeah.
Take it.
[ Laughs ] You got it.
[Conversing in French]
I'm looking for a job.
Wait here.
Hey!
[Bottle clinks]
Uh, yeah.
[Conversing indistinctly]
Just like me.
Yeah.
[Dog panting]
Look at the dog.
Yes, he's dirty.
Yeah.
He comes around
every day.
What are you doing?
Just trying to pet him.
He's not gonna let you.
Why?
Oh, fuck!
[Breathing heavily]
You see? I told you.
Why doesn't he
let me pet him?
'Cause he doesn't
trust you.
[Metal rattling]
Laurence: Hi.
Hey!
[Rattling continues]
My daughter told me
you took her out to lunch.
Yeah. Your daughter told me
she was starving.
[Rattling continues]
Well, she...
Can you stop that, please?
So we can talk?
[Rattling stops]
My daughter likes
to play games. Okay?
Don't get into it.
Please.
I'm not into little girls.
I prefer women my own age.
Good. I'll pay you back
the meal.
I don't want your money.
Then we have a problem.
[Sniffs]
Why?
'Cause I don't wanna owe you
anything.
[Sighs]
[Flatware clinking]
You finished?
Want me to help you?
It's fine.
She talks about her dad
as if he's some kind of hero.
Isn't that normal?
All kids think
their parents are heroes.
Maybe.
What else did she tell you?
That she can't
visit her dad.
You won't let her.
Prison is not a place
for kids, is it?
It's only a visit.
He's getting out
in a few months, so...
You don't seem so excited
about that.
He's leaving me.
For a younger woman.
Some teacher he met
in a prison program.
[Scoffs]
You think that's funny?
No, sorry, it's just...
I've heard
that story before.
The convict and the teacher.
Kind of a classic.
Don't tell her, okay?
She doesn't know.
I won't.
That's not my business.
[Sighs]

Hey.
I thought
you might be hungry.
Thanks.
Next time, eat with us
before the rush. It's better.

Actually, I kinda
like it out here.
I'm good.
What's your name?
I'm Danny.
Not really

Okay.
[Cap clatters]
Tough day?
How did you end up here?
What?
How did you end up here?
Just got out of jail.
Wow.
"Wow" what?
That's why you're looking
at me like this?
[Chuckles]
[Scoffs]
To freedom.
[Glass and bottle clink]
To freedom.
Fuck!
I need to go.
[Breathing heavily]
[Phone rings]
-You're late.
-Yeah, I know, I'm sorry.
I got a job today.
In a restaurant.
It was my first day today.
Officer: I told you to call us
so we could adjust your hours.
Yes, I know. I'm sorry.
Send us the details.
But if you are late again,
you're back inside.
Okay, I will. Thank you.
Bye.

I've got you.
Don't tell my mom.

into a school fight,
but I don't believe her.
[Door creaks]

The cops came.
A guy got killed.
They burnt his car
with him inside.
Do you know anything
about that?
I do.
T-That guy in the car...
...he raped Clara.
The night you went out.
[Exhales sharply]
How do you know?
I found her
in the parking lot.
Why didn't you tell me?
I made a promise.
What do you mean?
I promised her
not to tell.
[Gasps] [Sniffles]
My daughter gets raped,
and you promise her
not to tell me?
I'm her mother!
You're crazy.
You killed him, didn't you?
What was I supposed to do?
Let him go?
You should have gone
to the cops!
When my daughter got raped,
you should have gone
to the cops.
I'm going.
Yeah, fine. Go ahead.
Tell the cops.
I don't care.
Get out.
Get out of my house.
I want you out! Now!
Stop it, please.
No! Don't!!
[Both grunting]
No!
Fuck!
Aah!
[Breathing heavily]
Please, shh.

Please calm down.

Please.
[Sobbing]
I'm sorry.
[Conversing in French]
You okay?
So...
this is where you work?
Yeah.
What happened
to your hair?
You like it?
Yeah, that's fine.
Can I go inside?
You wanna go inside?
Yeah.
Sure.
Now?
No, finish your cigarette.
Let's go inside.
[Siren wails in distance]
What's that?
HIV test.
Freaks me out.
Mind if I do it here?
No, of course not.
I can't understand
this shit.
Let me see.
It's in German.
Yeah.
-Are they dry?
-Yeah.
-And clean?
-Yeah.
Let me see your finger.
You're ready?
Yeah.
You're sure?
Yeah.
Ow.
It's nothing.
Hold still.
Hold still!

Laurence: Better.
I told her. [Sniffs]
About her father.
Good.
Yeah.
Now she hates him.
I'm sure it will pass.
She doesn't need
a father like that.
Danny: Well...
he's the only father
she's got.
I feel stupid.
Why?
For waiting for him
all these years.
[Sniffs] Telling her
he'd come home one day.
Being loyal
is not being stupid.
[Sighs]
[Clears throat]
I'm pretty sure
he misses you now.
Laurence: Yeah.
He bought this place for us.
Had big dreams.
Then he left me
with all these debts.
Now I'm stuck here.
Stuck.
You gonna go home
one day?
[Sighs] No.
There's nothing but trouble
for me at home.
Looks like trouble
found you here.

Come on, please.
I have to leave.
Why?
If you leave,
they'll send you back to jail.
Don't worry about that.
You're like my dad.
Maybe you're right.
Or maybe you're wrong.
Cause there's just some
people who can't...
you can't control,
they won't change.
But that doesn't mean they
don't care for you.
[Dog barking]
You need to go inside.
No, it's okay.
