Belle and Sebastian

Season 3, Episode 13: “Captain Marshal's last wishes”

On the "Mary Morgane," the captain takes his eyes off the course he's set to look around. He spots Sebastian's dinghy, tacks, and takes the child in. The wind picks up, a squall hits. The captain, worried by the opening of a hatch at the bow, wants to rush over. Sebastian sees him approach the railing, clutch his heart, and collapse. Sebastian rushes to him. Louis Maréchal will die relieved and happy, having accepted that Sebastian will be the one to settle the old score and the bearer of forgiveness for all. Louis Maréchal's funeral was extremely simple and quick. Sebastian stands up and begins to read Louis Maréchal's last wishes: "To you, Gwen, the Narwhal. Jonathan and Clarisse, you must get married. And you, Bernard, you must go to school..." Everyone is concerned. We look at each other, unsure whether to burst out laughing, worry about Sebastian's mental state, or pay attention to what he's saying, but Sebastian is vehement and ultimately persuasive.
