Especially to an old family friend.
:49:11
Well, this is all very mysterious.
:49:14
Summoned by a minister.
:49:17
No officials, just the two of us.
What's it all about?

:49:20
I'm very proud of you, Annemarie.
:49:23
You've done it all on your own.
No help from anyone.

:49:26
And you're looking wonderful.
You haven't changed.

:49:29
Come on, Uncle Armand. You didn't
invite me here for small talk.

:49:34
- I'm a very busy woman, you know.
- Yes, I know.

:49:37
That's one reason why
I wanted to see you.

:49:39
I wanted to congratulate you
on getting the Brossard case.

:49:44
And the other reasons?
:49:46
No, you haven't changed, have you?
Never any time for pleasantries.

:49:51
When you were a little girl
and I came to visit...

:49:54
...before you greeted me, you'd say,
"Where's my present?"

:49:58
Well, I haven't changed.
Where's my present?

:50:01
And are you still so obstinate?
:50:06
Yes. Where's my present?
:50:08
You may not like it.
:50:11
It comes in the form of advice.
:50:19
The Brossard case
is a great opportunity for you.

:50:22
What one might call
a splendid career move.

:50:25
High profile, media interest,
and a truly just cause.

:50:32
I don't like the sound of this.
:50:34
I'm talking to you
as an old family friend...

:50:36
...not as a member of the government.
Please believe that.

:50:41
But I think you may have been
handed a poisoned chalice.

:50:47
I always say the best thing to do when
you're handed a poisoned chalice...

:50:57
...is to hand it back.
