[speaking French]
He's, uh... gone.
[Alex] Alice?
I've heard so much about you from Tom.
How's he been since the incident?
What incident?
Bandits raided the camp.
They took women and children. No one knew I had survived.
Alice, I don't think he ever really came back.
[Alice] Does the name "Aurélie" mean anything to you?
[Alice] How do you know it's a boat?
It's a hunch.
[Hélène] Is it his?
I met her, actually.
He may be useless with cars,
but he could talk a dog off a meat truck.
[Alice] I went to see the conductor,
the one from Tom's train,
and when I got there, he was dead.
-[gasps] -I'm coming now.
[Alex] She saw you.
Go there, now.
[Alice grunts]
[Alice] Seriously, what is going on?
[Hélène] I believe Tom Parker runs one of the largest
human trafficking operations in the Middle East.
[speaking French]
You have nowhere to go.
[background chatter]
[overlapping conversations]
-Hi, Alice. -Hi, Hana.
Is His Majesty in?
I'd like to pay him a surprise visit.
Hi, beauty.
Hey.
Tom, I've come to brighten your...
day.
Hi.
Hey.
Saved by the cavalry!
[exhales]
[chuckles]
Hello.
Hi.
[Tom] Mm.
How do you always manage to look so wonderful
in this godforsaken heat?
-[Alice] Mm. Mm-hmm. -[Tom chuckles]
Very sweet.
Uh...
Mira and I were just having a lively debate about one of...
One of our refugees.
Yeah, we still need to finalize plans for tomorrow.
To be continued...
It's not like she's going anywhere fast.
Yeah.
Glib doesn't suit you.
Alice.
[footsteps receding]
[sighs]
[car horn blares outside]

[opening music theme playing]
[indistinct conversations]
Hi.
Sleep okay?
[scoffs] I haven't slept well since the '90s.
What's "Kalco"?
SOS had several large contracts
with a company called Kalco for aid programs in Jordan.
Food distribution, vaccination, so on...
[Alice] Okay, and what's wrong with that?
The problem is the company doesn't exist.
It's a ghost.
Completely untraceable.
Did Tom ever mention Kalco to you?
Kalco...
This.
Ah.
Very good.
You see?
SOS pays millions to a phantom company
to supply non-existent aid
to invisible people.
It's as much a laundromat as a charity.
So you're saying the organization is a cover?
Oh, no, I doubt it. SOS is a big global charity.
Like a human being,
one limb can be rotten, but the heart pure.
You think Tom is the rotten limb.
I do not think.
[scoffs] It's ridiculous.
Durand is not a human trafficker,
and Tom isn't either.
You don't know Tom.
Do you?
Yeah, well, I think that you're going down
a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories.
I mean, why? Why are you doing this?
Because I need this story,
and, frankly,
you don't have a choice.
[chatter]
-What? -Nothing.
You want to take a picture?
Share with your friends?
What?
You're more an avocado toast kind of girl?
Hmm? [chuckles]
Hot yoga? Mimosas at brunch?
-No, I just think that maybe-- -You think what?
Okay, never mind.
There he is.
Oh, bingo.
[speaking French]
[Alice] Aren't we gonna follow him?
[Hélène] Not now.
[Alice] What? After everything you said?
What about them?
Just a couple of guards. I mean, it's a port.
It's not like it's the Pentagon.
Camera, camera,
camera.
If he's involved in something bad,
he may be smart enough to check who comes in and out.
Don't you think?
Yeah, but we're not doing anything wrong.
No, but we lose the only advantage we have.
Right now, we are invisible.
[Hélène] Hmm?
Uh, okay, so, what, are we just gonna...
[car seat clicks]
[Hélène] Let me know
when he comes out.
[Hélène groans]
[exhales]
[Hélène snoring]
[sighs]
[snoring continues]
[vehicle whirring]
[Hélène snoring]
Hey, wake up! Wake up!
-What? -Look. This serial number.
This has to belong to a container, right?
I mean, it's...
For how long have you had this?
Um, I had--
You must share everything with me, okay?
Okay, I just thought that maybe you--
[Hélène] Wait.
[engine starts up]
What's he doing?
Waiting for someone.
What will you do if Tom is involved?
[car approaching]
[Alice] Oh, my God. Is that...?
[Hélène] Inspector Drax.
[Hélène] They're both in on it.
No, no, no. At this point, it's just two people talking.
-We don't have anything. -[Hélène] Yes. Of course.
They're just chatting about
good wine, their wives, football maybe?
If the police is in on this,
it's huge.
Please, don't let my life get in the way
of your career redemption.
Hey, hey.
[Hélène] Hmm. Looks like the party's over.
[car engine starts up]
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
Alice!
-Alice! -Hélène!
[intense music]
Tom...
[Hélène] Alice!
Hey! What are you doing?
He was...
He's in the cab.
-Who? -Tom!
[Hélène] Tom?
-We're gonna lose him! Come on! -[Hélène sighs]
[Alice] That's him, that's him.
[Alice] Keep up.
[tires screech]
-[grunts] -Go, we're gonna lose him!
[speaking French]
-Just, go, go! -[grunts]
-[horn blares] -[both gasp]
[Hélène groans]
[Alice] There he is, there he is. Just stop! Stop!
[Hélène] Hey, hey, Alice!
[Alice] Tom! Tom!
Fuck...
-[tires screech] -[Alice gasps]
[horn blares]
[Alice] Tom!
Tom!
Where did...? That man. Where did...?
[man speaks foreign language]
Excuse me. God...
Hey.
[Tom] Uh...
[inaudible dialogue]
What the hell is going on?
I'm sorry, I should've... I should...
Where did you go, Tom? Where the fuck did you go?
Would you lower your voice?
I have been looking all over Marseille for you.
Do you understand me?
I know the way I left was unfair on you, all right?
I've been going through a lot of personal stuff recently
and I should have dealt with our situation--
Our situation? Our... Our situation? Are you kid...?
Alice, I'm sorry for everything.
But you should go.
You know, I know about Malik.
I know about that little boy and what happened.
Why didn't you just tell me? I would have understood.
Who's... Who's Malik?
Don't fucking lie to me, Tom.
I know everything.
You could have just told me and it wo...
We have to go. It's starting.
Alice, I'm sorry, but it's...
It's over.
I have to go. Good luck, Alice.
[speaking French]
[officers shouting in French]
[speaking French]
Police!
[Officers yell in French]
Stop!
Hey!
[Officer yells in French]
That wasn't Tom at the Opera House, that was...
That was someone different. It was like...
It was like he wasn't even there, I...
I don't know what's happened to him.
Why did you talk to him? It wasn't the plan.
Okay. Don't be so callous.
Don't be so foolish.
Now he knows about us. Because of you.
There is no us.
Okay? There is me, his girlfriend,
then there's you, the conspiracy theorist
desperately trying to resuscitate her career.
Yes, I looked you up. Let's see.
Um, "Disgraced reporter fired for twisting all the facts."
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I'm not made for this job anymore.
God, spare me the sad drunk routine. Please.
Cheerleader at school, were you?
Actually, yeah, I was really good with the pompoms.
-You wanna see my dance moves? -Not my thing.
[Alice] Shit.
I can't believe this is happening.
Playing Cagney and Lacey in a French dive bar. I...
I'm out. Fuck it. Fuck Tom. I'm going home.
-Yes, go, fine! -Yeah, bye.
Hey, have fun!
[speaking French]
[Hélène] I was a damn good journalist.
I am a damn good journalist.
Well, don't be too hard on yourself.
I've been planning a future with a man, who, apparently,
has a woman on every continent.
[Alice sighs]
I got offered a job...
at Princeton.
-[Hélène whistles] -[Alice] Yeah,
I worked really hard for this and I...
You know, I really thought it was the next step.
Tom said he'd come with me and then we'd...
[sighs]
Let me tell you a story.
Edouard.
We met in Courchevel. You know, the ski station?
At first, I wasn't sure about him.
I don't give my trust easily, especially to men, but...
he made me laugh.
And on the snow,
the way he turned his hips made me crazy.
A mix of elegance and...
so hot.
By the end of the week, I was totally in love.
So we move in together.
And, yes,
he's away a lot and...
yes, he often works abroad, but...
we are really happy.
We talk about marriage, children...
Children doesn't work out, but we don't really mind.
Life's good together.
And, like a promise,
every year, for ten years,
we go back to that same hotel,
that same week.
The hotel staff knew us and treated us like family.
Then, one year,
they had a new boy working there.
And, suddenly, he says,
"Ah, your niece and nephew, they're really nice, hmm?"
[chuckles] "My niece?
My nephew? What do you mean?"
He said...
"Your brother, his wife, their kids."
"My brother? But I don't have a brother."
At this point, Edouard walks in.
"This is your brother, right?"
"My brother? No.
It's my boyfriend, Edouard."
The manager comes and, quietly, with a smile,
he pulled the boy away.
Then I knew.
He had another family.
And the entire hotel was in on it.
Can you imagine?
That prick brought
his other family there every year.
The week before me!
Every year!
And, like you, [scoffs]
I thought he was all mine.
I am so, so sorry.
So, yes,
I started drinking before lunch.
And, yes,
I missed some deadlines.
I made some mistakes.
But not this.
Not Tom.
[sighs]
Alice,
why didn't you go on to Arles,
or back home to America?
Why do you think you're still here?
Well, to be fair, you know, Tom was--
No! No, I'm not talking about Tom.
I couldn't give a shit how you feel about him.
I'm talking about...
the pursuit of the truth.
It's what you do. It's what I do.
Better to accept it.
Pretending to walk away every five minutes,
it's just exhausting for everyone.
Hmm?
I think it's time I show you something.
Here we are.
[music pounds in background]
[woman and man screaming in the distance]
[speaking French]
Hebe!
[in English] They don't show you this
on Lonely Planet, huh?
[speaking French]
[Hélène speaking French]
[in English] Hi.
Alice, let me introduce Hebe. She's from Syria.
She was trafficked into France last year.
Maybe you can show her a picture of your friend.
Maybe they have met before in Jordan?
[Hélène speaking French]
-Okay. -Um...
[speaking French]
[in English] Do you...
-Um... -[Hebe screams]
[screaming continues]
[yelling in French]
-[in English] Are you sure? -[yelling in French]
[in English] Please, can you check?
[yelling in French]
[pants] Oh, my God.
What the fuck, Tom?
Poor girl...
I'm sorry, but I had to show you.
[snipping sound]
Well...
What do you think?
Hmm, I think even Tom would not recognize you now.
[Alice] Okay, so what do we know we know?
He lied about the phone call.
He only called the office, so why lie?
Because something is going on at SOS?
Or maybe he was calling his, uh...
His girlfriend? It's okay. You can say his girlfriend.
Right. Then he disappeared off the train.
Was he running away from me? Was he running away from you?
They must have got Geroux to help stop the train.
You were right about the bubblegum, by the way.
Thank you.
Right, next we have the Durand and Drax meeting.
[Hélène] And don't forget your friend at the hotel.
-Yes. -Jesus.
What a cast of characters.
All right. Then Kalco. Kalco...
It doesn't get us anywhere.
It's an empty office building in the middle of nowhere.
What about the receipt for the container?
What if we found the container?
-[knocking on door] -[man speaks French]
[speaking French]
[in English] Hi.
[speaking French]
-[in English] Can I talk... -Yeah, yeah.
-Try... -Of course.
Hi. [chuckles]
Uh, do you speak English?
-A little. -Okay.
My husband and I actually just moved to Marseille.
So beautiful.
And I would love if our apartment was just,
you know, parfait for his arrival.
-Do you understand? -Mm-hmm.
[clears throat] If I could get our belongings
out as soon as possible,
-I could make that happen for... -[speaking French]
[in English] Just... Just no? Just... Um...
[speaking French]
[in English] Um, honestly, there's...
There's important things...
in the box.
My... My... My grammy's...
-...ashes. -[Hélène splutters]
-You know, it... -[Hélène splutters]
[Hélène chokes]
Are you okay?
[Hélène chokes]
Oh! Are you...?
[speaking French]
-Help her, help her! -[speaking French]
Hurry!
[speaking French]
[Hélène wheezes]
[yelling in French]
[Hélène choking]
[Hélène sighs in relief]
[in English] Are you okay?
[speaking French]
[Hélène, in English] We should go.
[Alice] Thank you.
[speaking French]
[in English] Let's go.
[Hélène chuckles]
[Alice exhales]
SS Montmartre.
Yeah, it arrived last night.
Oh...
So?
I have to know who he is.
[Alice] There's got to be another way.
Are you a good swimmer? [chuckles]
I have no idea how to get in.
-[Alice] Wait. -[Hélène] What?
-Come with me! -Wait. Alice!
No...
Alice!
Are you crazy?
The truck covers the cameras.
Hold on, hold on.
[banging]
[speaking French]
[Alice] That's the boat.
[Alice] It should be right here.
[Hélène] Alice...
[Alice] 4638...
Come on.
4650...
Oh, my God, we found it.
Come on.
-Shit. -Okay.
Okay...
Come on, come on.
Yeah...
[grunts]
[pants]
-[whimpering] -[baby crying]
Oh, my God.
