Among his belongings, they find an old photo of themselves marked “Dad” and “Mom” and a ticket in the name of Patrick Prioux. After washing up, the stranger introduces himself as their son. The Priouxes, who know they have never had children, are wary, and his unusual way of speaking only deepens the mystery.

While shopping at a supermarket, Mr. and Mrs. Prioux see a stranger make off with their shopping cart, so they do their shopping again together. When they get home, all the groceries they had bought earlier are in their house. That evening, Mr. and Mrs. Prioux realize that the stranger has come into their home, put away their groceries, and is using their bathroom at that very moment. While going through his belongings, they find an old photo of themselves with the words “Dad” and “Mom” written on the back. They also find a ticket in the name of Patrick Prioux. After finishing washing up, he meets the Priouxes and announces that he is their son. Knowing they have never had children, they are initially wary of him.
