Yeah, it's fine.
Yes, thank you.
I'll tell him.
Sauveur.
What's up?
Sandra Paoli has offered to buy the ferries.
She's barely been out 2 months.
That's good for us. Livia Tavera won't want anything to do with her.
After that Freeman incident she won't find anyone.
Just give it time.
We'll get our chance.
Given her opinion of us, that's doubtful.
She either chooses Jean-Michel Paoli's killer or us.
Who do you think she'll go for?
That's what she said to you?
To my face, all grown up.
She knows I'd never go after her, so she's now Livia's sole beneficiary.
- She's ballsy for a 22-year-old girl. - Yeah, ballsy.
Bloody Livia thinks I'll back down
because the paperwork's no longer in her name.
Tell her to leave Carmen out of it.
This is between me and her.
- When? - Now.
She should know we'll only negotiate with her.
Violence or no violence?
Violence.
If we act, other people will notice.
- The police will presume it's us. - They always do.
And if her car's blown up, who will they think of?
She's having trouble with the nationalists, right?
I want her to see her car explode, like a close shave.
But Carmen stays away, she has nothing to do with it.
Obviously.
Her lawyer says she doesn't care about our arrangement.
Swapping names on the paperwork won't make a difference.
I was sure she'd back down.
She really has no limits.
We need to involve the police.
They should know what she's doing.
You think the cops would help us?
They couldn't even keep her behind bars.
So we just wait for her to come for us?
We can't do this alone, Carmen.
We need their help. We're in charge of the ferries now.
Carmen!
Come on, Carmen. Hurry up!
Start.
Stop.
Surely there are laws to stop her. She scared Freeman off.
That's not what he said.
- He says he changed his mind. - Lies.
Maybe, but that's the reality. She can make a bid if she wants.
Sandra Paoli's presumed innocent.
Odd as it may seem, she's perfectly within her rights.
- Where's she getting the money? - A Swiss bank.
Would you wear a wire?
A wire? What for?
We might catch her saying:
"You should have been reasonable"
or "Obey us and you'll be safe".
She'll fall for extortion and organised crime.
Murder didn't work, but extortion will?
Excuse me, Thomas.
Thomas, the wire is the judge's call, not ours.
Listening in on Sandra Paoli is risky.
I'll call him and apologise to him while I'm at it.
Don't do it.
Why not?
My dad told me about people wearing wires.
I know how Sandra treats snitches.
You and I want the same thing.
To get rid of her.
Are you happy with the wire plan?
Obviously.
- Hello? - Hello, Your Honour.
It's Commander Quilichini.
Sorry about my tipsiness the other day.
Alcohol is no excuse, Commander. What's going on?
We're with Ms Tavera.
- Sandra Paoli placed a bid. - That explains a lot.
Did she threaten her?
Has Ms Tavera said anything?
No, but a potential buyer pulled out and Tavera thinks Paoli was involved.
- What did the buyer say? - He denied it.
But if she persists, we could record her.
No, wires are far too dangerous.
We know what Paoli's capable of.
- Tavera wouldn't be safe. - To stop her buying the ferries,
- we have no choice. - It's no.
Understood. My regards, Your Honour.
Goodbye, Commander.
It's OK, but we'll have to be discreet.
It's a bad idea.
Got a better one?
She'll only see the explosion at home or outside her office.
The problem is Carmen's always there.
Is Tavera ever alone with her car?
She always leaves the villa first.
Plant something overnight for a rude awakening.
- She'll have front-row seats. - Where will Carmen be?
Leaving the house.
The window's tight, but not impossible.
We'll discuss it with Sandra.
In front of Carmen? No way.
Not in front of Carmen. She'll be inside.
- She'll hear it, but that's all. - She'll be safe.
You think a car exploding will traumatise her?
Given everything she's done. Dream on.
- Who's taking care of it? - Jean-Luc, Manu and myself.
Let's call it off.
You're obviously not keen.
You won't see your idea through.
So, let's drop it and find another solution.
Go ahead as planned.
It's fine, honestly. End of story.
Tony. We'll go ahead.
Are you sure?
OK.
That was cold. I'm freezing.
Get in. It'll warm you up.
- Do you mind? - Of course not.
Are you sure about this?
Don't think about that.
It'll be fine.
I'm ashamed. You didn't ask for this.
You loved my dad, but got caught up in this crap.
You didn't ask for this either.
It's my family.
Whereas, if you hadn't met my father...
I'm very happy to have met your father.
It was the best time of my life.
Don't do it. I have a bad feeling about it.
What if something happens to you?
Nothing's going to happen to me.
Come.
Come here.
We have to make her go away once and for all.
Then we'll be fine.
Is that Dad's ring?
Yes.
Does it bother you?
No.
Quite the opposite.
- Isn't Jean-Luc with you? - We need to talk.
What happens if Tavera dies? Who inherits the ferries?
- Tony, we're just scaring her. - Tell me.
If the sole beneficiary shit is true, it's Carmen.
And if Carmen dies too?
Are you insane?
If Carmen dies, Matteo inherits it in 15 years.
Until then, who's legally responsible for Matteo?
Who's his closest guardian?
If they both die, Sandra will own the ferries
with the blessing of the Civil Code and us.
The bomb was her idea, Manu. We have to take advantage.
Carmen's a child, Tony! A fucking 22-year-old child!
A child who offered us 800,000 euros to kill her aunt.
She's no child, Manu.
She's Sandra, but 20 years younger.
May the Lord help you find the words and feelings
to confess your sins with contrition.
I'm listening, my son.
This might sound odd, but I was wondering...
whether you could confess before committing a sin.
You mean, you're intending on sinning?
And you want God's forgiveness beforehand?
That's right.
Why not ask his help to avoid sinning?
Avoid it?
If I could, I wouldn't be here.
I don't know what to say.
You're right, I don't know why I'm here.
Forget it, I'm wasting your time, Father. Goodbye.
THANK YOU
It's done.
Hurry up, Carmen, we're running late!
Yes?
No, I want everyone there. I'm on my way.
OK.
Carmen!
Coming!
When she's in the car, give me the signal.
- We can't do this. - What do you mean?
We can't do this!
Not the child, Tony! Not the child!
We saw the restaurant guy, there's a slight problem.
- Problem? - Meet us at the usual place.
Everything's fine. OK?
Did something happen to Carmen?
Carmen's fine. The bomb exploded while Tavera was still in the car.
- It exploded in Carmen's face? - She just got shaken up.
Where is she? Where the fuck is she?
Carmen is fine. We fucked up with Tavera.
Carmen is fine. She's probably in hospital.
She's fine!
Tony, I did it for us.
Yes, I'll let it go because you're my friend.
Now you've done this once, don't let it happen again.
- What has it changed between us? - Nothing, but don't do it again.
I screwed up, Daniel.
I screwed up big time.
Cancelling a deal at the right time isn't a sign of weakness.
What are you saying? That I should back down?
This has to stop.
It's gone too far.
You think I can just stop this?
You think Tony and Manu will give up? They want this more than me.
They want money, not the ferries.
Offer them lots of money and they'll drop the ferries.
And you should drop them too.
The Search Unit is taking over.
You're not handing our case to them?
- Tavera's death is our business. - Livia Tavera's death is my business.
Her lawyer just called.
What's this about a wire? I said no. You're taking the piss.
Hand over the whole case. All CCTV and recordings too.
This was her! It's obvious!
Got proof? Or even a shred of evidence?
This could easily be the nationalists. They hated Livia Tavera.
Do you know anything about the culprit?
This isn't armchair politics, it's an investigation,
which requires proof in order to move forward.
You have none.
What do you want?
- To be the laughing stock of Corsica? - Don't take our investigation.
- We've worked so hard. - Just watch me!
And in case you're wondering, Sandra Paoli hasn't paid me.
Goodbye, gentlemen.
This can't be happening.
- This can't be happening. - What's the plan?
- We stop because he's shitting on us? - He's the investigating judge.
It's his case. It's his, not yours.
- He can do what he wants. - Sandra Paoli is our case.
Forgotten the hours we've spent on this?
The stalking, the stakeouts, the listening in!
It's suddenly worthless because of that newbie idiot?
That judge has been around less than 2 years.
He wants to make the rules? Who does he think we are?
You know what? Take a few days off.
Get a blowie, get drunk, go to the beach, just do something.
Because you're falling apart, mate.
Are you all right?
- Wait, let me help. - It's OK.
Thanks.
How do you feel?
Do you remember what happened?
What about Livia?
It was her.
She killed her.
Have you arrested her?
No.
If you have proof, give it to me.
We're powerless without proof.
Sandra wants the ferries, Livia refuses and dies, that's proof.
It's not enough.
The judge has taken us off the investigation.
We can't pursue Sandra Paoli.
I'm sorry about Ms Tavera.
Here.
This is my private number.
Call me if you need anything.
Any time.
Goodbye.
CARMEN PAOLI INHERITS TAVERA FERRIES
She won't follow through. She'd never go up against Carmen.
She might not want to.
Here's what she'll do.
She'll offer us money, she'll say it's gone too far,
- and give us her best price. - Then what?
We just take the money? We can't stop now.
We won't. We'll take the money and screw them both over.
The ferries will be ours.
Just you and me. Like we always planned.
Morning, beautiful.
Apparently you're back with Christelle.
I found out when I visited her shop.
Oddly enough, I'd rather have heard it from you.
Not from Christelle or Tony. From you.
Sorry, I should have told you.
Aren't there more important things to talk about?
Not for me.
Since my life is fairly dull otherwise.
Saudade, what's up? You seem down.
Come on, let's go.
Give me a kiss.
I'm fine.
Manu!
Is something up with her?
She's a bit down. Call Sandra and say we're on our way.
What's that bastard doing here?
It's his village!
- Let's say hello then. - Tony, just drop it!
You need Sandra to pay your bills?
- Can't you pay them? - Tony, drop it.
We're just talking, right?
I pay my own bills. No one pays them for me.
Go about your business and let me go about mine.
It's best for everyone.
Let's go, Tony. We'll talk another time, huh.
Why bother? Haven't we got enough problems?
Let it slide.
I'm going to get even with that arsehole.
Sure you will, but not now.
We understand your situation is complicated, but be straight with us.
Do you still want the ferries?
I said we'd take them, so we will.
What about Carmen?
Carmen's my problem.
- Isn't she ours too? - I'll talk to her.
What if she doesn't understand?
We all want these ferries, I'm not giving up.
But I'll deal with Carmen, OK?
Shit, she seems surprisingly determined.
Or she's playing us to buy time.
Of course she's playing us, but we won't get caught out.
I have no choice, Daniel. To protect her, I have to pursue this.
I wish my life would stop, just for a day.
Just press pause and nothing happens.
Do that then.
Hello?
Good evening. It's Carmen Paoli.
- Good evening. - Come in.
I felt uneasy being alone here at night...
No, it's a good idea. Are you OK?
- Feeling better? - Yes, thanks.
Good. - This way.
- A drink? - Please.
I brought you a gift. Please don't take it the wrong way.
I was at work when you called.
I thought you might like it.
I love it. When's it from?
6 years ago, for a robbery.
- He never did time for robbery. - They couldn't prove it was him.
But it was him.
The Paolis gave you some serious grief.
Go on, admit it.
They gave us grief, yeah.
Unfortunately, they haven't stopped.
Well, at least it's over with my father.
- Happy with red wine? - Yes, great.
- All right, Auguste? - Not bad.
- What can I get you? - A double whisky.
I want to treat my banker friend.
Do you know where I can find that escort that comes here?
Not personally, but I know someone who does.
- Want me to call him? - Yes.
Hi, Pé!
Do you have that Italian's number? The one who comes here a lot.
Would you mind accompanying me to the cemetery tomorrow morning?
No, of course not.
What time?
10am.
OK.
Sleep here if you like.
We can go straight from here.
I don't really fancy being alone.
I mean... if you don't mind.
No, if that's what you want. OK.
Right, I'll head to bed then.
Take the sofa.
Finish the wine, watch a film, make yourself at home.
Good night.
- Need a hand? - No, I'm fine.
That bastard Auguste is a good liar.
Come in.
I told him it was for a friend. This stays between us.
My silence comes at a price.
- How much? - Expensive.
Anything unusual is expensive.
Do you do women?
Not when they pay,
but I'll make an exception for you.
How much for the night?
1,500.
3,000.
If I'd asked for 5,000, would you have paid?
You should have asked.
- Don't bother. - You don't want to fuck?
No.
I thought otherwise the other night.
You thought wrong.
- What shall we do then? - Nothing.
You paid 3,000 euros to do nothing?
Lie down on the bed.
- Shall I keep my shoes on? - Yes.
You're very pretty.
You're not so bad yourself.
What's going on? Are you OK?
Nothing.
Hold me.
Hold me close.
Wait.
Pleased with yourself?
Ms Paoli.
My deepest condolences.
I stand by the offer I made to Livia Tavera.
We wish to create this shipping line with you.
It's a difficult time, so think about it.
- Just remember that we're here. - I know.
But Livia didn't want nationalists owning the ferries.
I want to respect her wishes.
Thank you for coming.
NO MORE VIOLENCE!
Carmen, it's Sandra. Call me back, we need to talk.
What about those ones?
- Are we taking that too? - No.
It's marked "Paoli".
There's a tug labelled "Paoli" at the port, you want that too?
The judge mentioned a car bug.
Thank you.
And a camera at Ms Paoli's house.
It's not there anymore. It's here.
It stopped working last week. Bad luck.
Yeah, bad luck.
Thanks, gentlemen. Goodbye.
Let's go.
Stopped working?
They've stolen our case, they're not getting our gear.
They'll manage.
If anyone asks, I'm at the bar. I need a drink.
WHAT IF IT WASN'T HER?
- Hello? - It's Carmen.
How are you?
I think we should talk.
My place, tomorrow.
I wasn't involved.
- I'm fairly sure that's not true. - No matter what I say...
It's never your fault.
You're never involved, it's never you, I know.
What's going to happen now?
Now it's just us two.
What are you going to do?
Will you sod off or continue ruining my life?
In an ideal world, I'd drop everything.
You have no idea how much I'd like to.
But I can't, it's not up to me.
I've involved other people, who'd do anything for this deal.
So you're not pulling out?
Accept our offer, you have to.
Not for my sake, for yours.
Or what?
It's out of my control, do you understand?
I don't run things anymore, the system does.
You invented the system, Sandra.
No one else.
Good evening, it's Carmen Paoli.
I've thought about your offer. I accept.
The girl called.
We're buying into this company.
