Sources assassines (2017) - full transcript
In the thermal town of La Bourboule, a man is found dead, killed by poison. His ex-girlfriend, Irene, chief-doctor of the thermal baths, owns an important stock of medicinal arsenic which could be the murder weapon. She is accused of the crime and she is arrested. Called to the rescue, her daughter Fanny, a young captain in the Crime section of Paris who she hasn't seen for years, will try to prove her mom's innocence and discover the truth. Between love interests, business interests and vengeance, Fanny's investigation is going to lead her much further than she could ever imagine, making her discover her own family's secrets.
DEATHLY SPRINGS
I'm trying to stay neat.
There.
You're very ugly.
Don't be afraid, Alban.
This disguise
is to make fun of death.
To say it doesn't scare you.
See you later.
- Hey, you OK?
- Yes.
All's well?
- Séléna?
- Yes.
- Don't forget your drip.
- Don't worry.
I'm going back to the practice.
- Bye, Dr Duroc.
- Bye.
One evening, a man sat down
at the foot of the fairy rock.
He was overwhelmed with pain.
His one-year old child was dying.
A fairy saw him
and asked him what happened.
The man explained his grief
and couldn't hold back
his tears,
that spouted out a clear spring
when they touched the ground.
"Take this water to wash your son.
"In a few days, he will be revived",
the fairy explained,
before disappearing, too.
The third fairy enquired
about the man's pain,
whose tears, once again,
spouted a spring.
When bathing him
in the third spring
the child smiled at him.
His son was cured!
And thus was born
La Bourboule.
Beware whatsoever:
where there are fairies,
there's the devil too.
Thanks, doctor Volkov.
- If you don't feel well, come back.
- Thanks.
We've noted about
50 cases of poisoning.
How can that be?
10 years ago, we had salmonella.
We'll get the results
of the tests tomorrow,
but there's no high fever.
I don't think it's viral.
Has the arsenic
in the water increased?
All the patients have had
either at the spa or here.
I must inform the health office.
Sophie,
it's a necessary precaution,
I must order
the temporary shutdown of the spa.
- Right. Bye, Mr Mayor.
- Thank you, doctor.
Irène, Xavier's disappeared.
He's not answering the phone.
He must be on a call
on the mountains. Don't worry.
- Mrs Renard.
- Commander Garnier.
We've come with
the health department officers,
in case it is a malicious act.
Many complaints
were filed yesterday.
Come. Let's go to the installations
in the basement.
This way, ladies and gentlemen.
Xavier!
Six missed calls
Right.
OK. It's clear for me.
He had a heart attack.
From the rigor mortis,
he must have died yesterday.
Anything to do with the poisoning?
Possible. His doctor says
his heart was weak,
he was taking anticoagulants.
The autopsy will tell us more.
Found the clothes?
Nothing.
I searched all the lockers.
I doubt he wore
his birthday suit at the party.
Especially in front of the kids.
Irène Volkov, you know her?
She's a doctor at La Bourboule.
Alright.
Irène Volkov
Today 0:48 - Missed call
I'm Mrs Gilot, public defender.
Can you get me out?
I've got patients waiting for me.
I'd rather have something else.
I'm checking
your rights are respected.
Did you see a doctor?
- I'm a doctor.
- True.
They suspect you
of poisoning Duroc,
child psychiatrist,
with an arsenic medicine.
I used to heal my lupus patients
with that medicine.
This product is the cause
of 50 cases of poisoning
the eve of your arrest.
A child was admitted to hospital.
The police claim
I'd disguised the crime
by causing mass poisoning.
It's ridiculous.
You refused
to answer their questions.
Why didn't you cooperate?
I'd have done it if they hadn't
stupidly arrested me.
You'd like to inform your family?
No.
Clermont-Ferrand,
4 minutes' stop.
Connecting train to Saint-Étienne
at 7:14, platform number 2.
Lyon Part-Dieu at 7:18,
platform 4.
Please use
the underground passage.
Fanny Volkov?
Yes.
I'm Séléna Rome.
Irène's a grandmother?
She doesn't know.
A symptom of my lupus.
I'm used to it.
It's an autoimmune disease.
The marks get worse in the summer,
even with sunblock.
You take part
in medical tests with my mum?
Yes, using an arsenic
trioxide compound.
I spent 1 month
at the Clermont hospital,
and since one week, it's being
followed up in La Bourboule.
Irène offered to put me up.
She spoke much about you.
I'd rather you tell me
about her arrest.
They must have been there a while.
I was with another patient,
on a drip.
- How crazy!
- Please.
I want that too.
I need access to all the documents.
This can't be...
The key, please!
There.
Oh my... Arsenic.
POISON
As from now,
you are taken into custody.
Captain Balhul
will seize your computer
and you give me your phone.
- I can't leave my patients.
- Please.
Don't touch me!
Madam, how long will this take?
Right. Follow me, now.
Good.
The keys of my car are on my desk.
Then, the captain questioned us
on what Irène did that eve.
She was called to town
in the night, about a poisoning.
Dr Duroc tried to reach her
before 9pm.
I answered. He couldn't get her
on her mobile.
Then, they searched the house.
They made such a mess!
Did my mother
manage to see Xavier Duroc?
I don't think so.
I was with her when the spa manager
gave her the news.
She fainted.
I'm off to the hospital.
I'll pick you up
on my way back, madam.
No, it's OK.
I'll manage.
No need to be formal.
Yes.
Fanny! I can't believe you're here.
You should've told me.
- So this is yours?
- Yes.
No, I found it in the street.
Fine.
Let's make a declaration.
- Hope you didn't steal it?
- I did, I admit.
Left the CID?
No, I'm just on maternity leave.
Everybody, this is Fanny,
my former partner in Lille.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Come home tonight.
I've got everything you need.
- Keep cool.
- What?
What are you doing in Clermont?
You serious?
Chad, you arrested my mother,
yesterday.
Dammit. Volkov.
- It didn't strike me. What an idiot.
- For sure.
- One of her patients called me.
- Séléna Rome?
The search and the arrest
were rather harsh.
Your mother's not easy.
As for the search,
I was with rookies.
- Never your fault.
OK. Come on, tell me.
Quite heavy charges.
Since yesterday,
her silence is not helping her.
She only asked for tea.
Let me talk to her.
Hey, can you bring Volkov over?
Commander Garnier
will be in at 9:30.
You don't have much time.
OK. Thanks.
- You knew the victim?
- Not much.
I met him once in Paris,
a few years ago.
That's the last time
I saw my mother.
Remember?
The double line upwards.
Silly, I've got two.
It's your cop friends
who called you?
No.
It's one of your patients
you're so fond of.
Séléna?
- She's amazing.
- Her disease, too.
It's attacking
its own defence system.
Like you, apparently,
since you've been arrested.
Commander Garnier
understands Russian.
- Insults especially.
- What the hell...
You're nursing?
Adam. He's 6 months.
That's a very pretty name, Adam.
Taking me back?
I just can't wait to meet him.
I don't get it.
Why have you come
if you can't release me?
You killed him?
Tell me the truth.
You think I'm guilty?
But...
Fanny,
I lost my best friend.
I loved him.
We'd separated,
but we were very close.
How could you...
Miss Volkov,
you have no business being here.
Take her to her cell.
You, the Egyptian, not a word.
Go back to your babysitting.
Fanny,
please come with me.
I don't need a nosy parker
interfering with my investigation.
No special privileges here.
Tell me what she's charged with.
Why would she have killed
a man she loved?
Jealousy, cupidity.
The usual stuff with the bourgeois.
Especially those
who've made it.
They always want more.
My mother's never been after money.
Let me check her file.
I can help you save time.
But you're the daughter
of the suspect.
And I care a hang
about cop solidarity.
I've got an antipathic nature
and a cynical philosophy.
You must hate yourself
on principles?
I'm not the kind to waste my time
trying to love myself.
The contact
of the public defender.
I'm warning you
I'll keep an eye
on Captain Balhul.
His wife walked out
and left him with the kids.
Don't take advantage
of the situation.
Rudeness is another
of your traits.
You saved his life, in Lille?
He didn't dare use his arm.
It wasn't your case.
He might feel indebted to you
but he mustn't divulge anything.
Now, you leave my shop.
I'll be seeing you soon.
I told you I'll see you soon.
You're not my type: too young.
Thank you.
A discharge of Mrs Gilot.
I'm taking over
the defence of Irène Volkov.
Become a brief?
Not at the CID anymore?
Well, I was a criminal lawyer
before joining the police.
I'm currently taking the exam
to be commissioner.
To go back to criminal law,
I enrolled at the bar.
It's the first time I'm seeing this.
You'll end up at internal affairs.
The least blunder
and I'll ruin your end of career.
You're starting to sound
like your mother.
What charges justify her custody?
They'll take you to her cell.
The time of the death
is not written?
The body stewed for a while
in the water of a spa.
And there's no DNA trace either.
Your mother got rid
of her victim's clothes,
certainly to have a fling with him
before poisoning him.
Nothing proves she poisoned him,
let alone having poisoned
all those at the party.
The blood tests
taken from the victims
proved the arsenic used
was Trisenic
and came from her practice.
It was easy for your mother
to pour that poison
in the drinks served on the park
or in the sweets.
The dosage for Dr Duroc
was just a little stronger
enough to cause a cardiac arrest.
There was 0,1 mg in his blood.
It's lethal.
What would the motive be?
Xavier Duroc had made her
his only heir.
It was just before
they lost their child,
notary says.
Properties in La Bourboule
worth several millions,
plus the shares
of the company owning the Spa.
Don't hesitate
if you've got more questions.
Motherhood's made you reasonable?
I'm not leaving the police.
It's temporary.
It's a pity.
You don't have to do this for me.
You've never worried about me
for all these years.
You weren't accused of murder.
If you don't want me
as a lawyer, say it.
Searching for forgiveness?
I'm not here to settle
our problems. Just yours.
Let me work. Then I'll go.
As you like.
You inherited of the fortune
of Xavier Duroc.
- You didn't know?
- No.
He never told me about it.
Garnier'll want to prove
the opposite.
Xavier texted you at 8:05 pm.
"I need to talk to you."
You didn't answer.
I was called
to the Fenestre park.
Then, you reached him at 00:48.
- The conversation lasted 25 secs.
- No.
I didn't reach him.
There was no reception.
It often happens
when we're on the move.
The spa Wi-Fi hotspot shows
he was there at that time.
That's why
Garnier's accusing you.
But I wasn't at the spa.
I called on 3 people
before going home.
You must give me their contact.
In your opinion,
who'd want to kill Xavier so badly?
I can only think of the Cazal.
They're hoteliers.
Those 2 families are in conflict
over the city management.
- They knew he was sick?
- Everyone did.
He had a stroke
during a municipal meeting.
The Trisenic's no trivial choice.
They want me accused
owing to my research.
Irène.
Er... Chad, where's Adam?
Sleeping in my office.
What news?
No. Why?
I know that face.
You can't say lies.
Two teenagers disappeared
during a hike.
They were from
the Children's home.
And...?
They left yesterday,
camped by Guéry lake
and disappeared in the night.
The alert was sounded at 9am.
We just got to know.
The mountain gendarmes are on it.
Anything to do with the crime?
It's Damien Dutour, he was suffering
from diabetes and obesity.
He came around noon
to get his insulin.
And the other one?
Rebecca Lalande,
a patient of yours?
No.
She came with Damien.
I only know
she suffers from asthma
and has some allergies.
They could have taken the Trisenic
at that moment?
The waiting room gives onto
the medical room
where I see to my patients.
You're accusing those kids?
Their testimony could be essential.
OK. Balhul, meet up
the gendarmes
and bring back those kids.
Do note
the prosecutor's prolonged
the custody of your client.
I might have more questions.
I have nothing else to say.
My mother didn't want me
to join the police.
She wanted me to change the world,
not to protect it.
You've come for her, though.
How did it go?
There'll be some kind of backlash.
- Tell me, any other leads?
- I can't.
Amongst Duroc's patients?
Or his family.
No close relatives, only cousins
who don't live in La Bourboule.
Who's this little man's daddy?
I know him?
It's Baron?
I always had a crush on him.
I don't regret.
He didn't leave his wife?
What's he doing now?
- In the DNPJ division.
- Oh, right.
You like complicated things.
And you?
Carmen left.
The boys are with me.
- Why?
- I doubt I'll ever know.
She's in Hong Kong, now.
And... Séléna Rome,
she's still at your mum's?
Yes. She's waiting for me.
Why?
- For nothing.
- Liar.
Yes, my love.
This is where mummy grew up.
Anybody in?
Séléna?
Over here!
I dusted it.
It's big enough for Adam?
I think it was my cradle.
Where was it?
There's a storeroom upstairs,
full of stuff for children.
I'll have a look afterwards.
Everything's changed here.
- I'm starving.
- It's past 3.
There's some stew left.
I'll make it warm.
Thanks. That's perfect.
I'll change Adam.
It's good you're here,
especially for afterwards.
I'm exaggerating but for me,
she's always been like Dr Jekyll
and Mrs Hyde.
On the one side,
an extraordinary doctor,
nonconformist, passionate.
And on the other...
Overwhelming.
The worst was her absence.
She entrusted me
to my grand-parents,
in this house,
before leaving for Ukraine.
And then I only remember
promises she never kept,
projects of living together
forever put off.
I only saw her at week-ends...
When she was in France.
And did you know Xavier Duroc?
For a consultation,
the day before he died.
Irène wanted me to see him
to talk about my disease.
A possible cure, and so on.
What about the children
who're missing?
Something happened with them
in the mist room.
We can hardly see anything.
The kids removed
the girl's swimsuit,
and her boyfriend
stood up for her.
It was quite violent.
Can you watch over Adam?
Don't worry.
I've done a lot of babysitting.
If he wakes up,
I'll take him for a walk.
Fanny!
Valérie?
How cruel you are!
Why are you always so pretty?
But you, too.
- You work here?
- Yes, since 2 years.
Head of one of the last
Children's homes.
Maybe not for long.
You're here for your mum?
They're both here all year round.
Rebecca Lalande is a hard child.
She's offbeat,
and has a heavy past.
She's been everyone's scapegoat
since she arrived.
Damien Dutour is the only one
with whom she gets along.
A solid guy who could be scary.
A bit like Of mice and men
with teenagers.
If they ran away,
it's Rebecca's idea.
You spoke about her past?
What happened?
Many suicide attempts.
She almost died.
She was followed by Dr Duroc.
Before this place,
she was in an institution
after she tried to poison
her step-father.
I didn't tell the police anything.
What were they doing
the day of the poisoning?
They volunteered to sell pancakes
at the Fenestre park.
A pancake, ma'am?
No, thanks.
The treasure hunt
will start in 5 minutes,
at the fountain.
Right. Thanks.
You've done a great job.
I'll take you on any time.
What about putting back?
No, leave it.
We must dismantle bit by bit.
I'll do it.
- For you. And you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
You can go now.
You see to the counter?
They were allowed
to go hiking at Guéry lake
the next day.
Their supervisor told us
they were missing this morning.
I called the police immediately.
- You've got a lawyer?
- Yes. It's compulsory.
But he's in Clermont.
Can you ask him to call me?
Think them running away
has got to do with Dr Duroc's death?
They'll let us know
when we find them.
It's better if somebody
represents them now.
We lost their trace by sector 8,
the most uneven area.
Thanks.
Hello.
Can I speak to Régis Cazal, please?
You are...?
Fanny Volkov.
I'll call my son.
He must be at the restaurant.
Come. Follow me.
I knew your grand-mother well.
She'd come to
my adoptive daughter's funeral.
That was 20 years ago.
You'd gone to town
for high school.
You surely can't remember.
She was from the Philippines?
We didn't see you
after your mother settled in.
You felt homesick?
I've come to help my mother.
Forgive me, I'm so silly.
I heard she was suspected
of Dr Duroc's death.
That's probably why you're here.
- Régis Cazal. You asked to see me.
- Yes.
Thanks for sparing some time.
I wanted to know,
the day of the party,
did you notice anything strange
with the youngsters
at the pancakes?
No, I don't recall.
Everything was fine.
Things went wrong afterwards.
Why are you asking?
What are you searching for?
I'm defending Irène Volkov,
my mother.
I feel that Damien and Rebecca
are the cause of the poisoning.
They ran away yesterday.
And... they'd have poisoned
the pancakes?
By the way,
do you have any batter left?
I'd need a sample for analysis,
and the ingredients
that were used.
I understand better why I was sick.
I called for my doctor.
I couldn't move.
The pancakes
never came to my mind.
It's my cook who prepared the mix.
- Anything left?
- No.
All the elements
went into the dishwasher.
What would they have put in it?
Arsenic. Well, a medicine.
Oh, those wretched rascals!
Those wretched rascals!
We must inform
commander Garnier right away.
- You know him?
- Yes.
Well, he questioned us
the day Duroc was found dead.
- He took our statements.
- Yes.
Dr Duroc had come here
the morning of his... accident.
We weren't in agreement
about the board meeting
of the company managing the spa.
Our families always had
divergent interests,
but I sincerely regret his death.
A responsible man.
I'm certain our families
would have got along, eventually.
I like...
the valley in blue.
It gives... a feeling of vertigo.
You're good.
It's an aquarelle Irène did.
Tell her.
But to answer your question,
I started painting
when I was under cortisone.
I was totally restless.
I needed something to calm me.
Aquarelle did the trick.
And... that treatment did you good?
My doctor in Paris sent me here.
Let's say
it gave me back some hope.
Not of healing completely
but to cope with the disease.
It's easier to meet someone
without these marks.
Not staying for a drink?
No alcohol for me, thanks.
I'll leave you. I'm tired.
Come on.
That girl's real touching.
Her illness is so nasty.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
OK. They broadcast
the missing notice
about the kids.
The spring water
didn't cause the poisoning.
Some clients have been affected.
Régis Cazal, too.
It must be in the pancakes.
We must check
if all those who had were sick.
And get Duroc's medical dossier
on Rebecca.
There's surely
essential information.
We're not partners, remember?
Really?
Those children know about something.
Why disappear, then?
The cop has supplanted the lawyer.
A cop also defends the innocent.
My mother, in this case.
- Hello?
- It's Chad. We've got the kids.
They found them
thanks to a camera at a bus stop.
They'd spent the night
at a school friend's place.
Great. Thanks.
His nose is running. He must have
caught a cold in the train.
I've got physiological saline.
Don't worry.
What are you doing here?
I'm temporarily
in charge of the defence
of the Children's Home.
Consider Damien and Rebecca
are my clients.
Rebecca, tell us everything.
You can talk.
Damien, please.
We heard about Dr Duroc's death
during the hike at lake Guéry.
We were scared we'd be accused.
To find the culprit,
you must tell us everything.
At the Fenestre park,
we saw him go and vomit
by the sequoias.
- But he didn't die there.
- Damien didn't do anything.
I went with Damien
to see Dr Volkov.
Damien, your turn.
- Hello.
- Hello.
How can I help you?
I took them
because of the word "arsenic".
I wanted to make them all sick.
To take revenge
for what they did in the morning.
I'll have 2
with butter and sugar.
Dr Duroc offered
one of the pancakes
to Dr Volkov, but she didn't want.
So, he gulped both of them.
There were just a few vials.
I didn't think
it would act so fast.
What did you do with the vials
you poured in the batter?
We had a bin.
How many vials were there?
It's important, Rebecca.
Er... 10.
You sure?
Yes.
- Not more?
- No.
It takes more
to cause a cardiac arrest.
Thanks.
Tell the juvenile court everything.
- Alright?
- Yeah.
- Sorry?
- Yes, ma'am.
We should widen the right to abort
until the age of majority.
All this is perfect.
When your mother
noticed the theft,
she made the connection
with the poisoning.
She just needed to give
Dr Duroc a fatal dose,
thinking this rascal
would be blamed.
My mother's not as cynic as you.
- Hello, doctor.
- Hello.
The doses Irène had
are registered by the pharmacy.
If it tallies, it means Dr Duroc
was poisoned with something else?
arsenic trioxide is present
in different forms.
You get them
in pesticides, paints,
sometimes even in a natural state.
- Hello?
- Chad, I've got news.
Interested?
Ok, tell me.
I don't think it's the Trisenic
that killed Duroc.
- He did take, but that's not it.
- So...?
Someone gave him arsenic
in another form.
I'll call the prosecutor so he orders
further toxicologic analyses.
- I owe you that.
- OK. I hope so.
Thanks.
Tell your mother the results
of the protocol are encouraging.
Mrs Volkov?
I won't move from here
without my daughter.
The prosecutor
has ordered your release.
- You're free.
- Fanny's not here?
She's at your place.
You owe me an explanation,
isn't it?
The charges against you
have been lifted.
Dr Duroc was not poisoned
with Trisenic.
It might be arsenic
of natural origin.
Oops! A burp.
Come on here.
Come on here, sweetie.
Why are you bothering him?
He was OK, wasn't he?
Why didn't you call me
when you were arrested?
Fanny, I'm very happy
you've come,
but why expect something in return?
I taught you
never to expect anything.
Come off that.
It's your way
of eluding responsibilities.
You always had
everything you needed.
You didn't come to see me
when I lost my baby.
You knew how miserable I was.
I wrote you a letter.
A few words without any feeling.
Well. Stay a few days anyway.
When I heard
you were pregnant...
I hated you, Mum.
Tell me about Xavier.
I only met him once.
We spent all our childhood here.
His parents lived here,
at the time.
We almost never left each other,
even during our studies.
But one day, something happened...
And I went...
to live in Kiev.
You met my father?
And many years later,
I met Xavier again, by chance.
It was at a conference
on balneotherapy.
In Biarritz.
I was invited because,
after Fukushima,
I discovered in Japan
the benefits of our...
No medical, please.
Xavier had just lost his parents.
And he came to live
in La Bourboule.
He suggested I join him
to continue my research.
I accepted.
All my life, I...
I only thought of work,
treatment, research.
And suddenly,
I felt like settling down;
I wanted a family.
I fell pregnant.
Xavier dreamed of being a dad.
The amniocentesis
showed nothing abnormal,
but the child wasn't viable.
You'd have had a little sister.
It's crazy.
For money reasons,
this town that was dedicated
to cure children
gradually shut its doors.
Xavier regretted the closure
of the Children's home.
He wanted to restore the spa.
The fairies left long ago.
I must continue.
Maybe I'm the fairy.
The notary told them that very day,
that I was his heir.
I understand
why the police suspect you.
Sophie...
We must continue Xavier's project.
We must stop the sale of the spa.
What sale?
See who's there?
I think it's my daughter.
Fanny. There you are.
She's also my lawyer.
Where's Adam?
With the physio.
I thought he'd crush his chest.
Mums hate it, but it's
the only way to clear the lungs.
I've got patients waiting.
You'll explain about the spa?
What about removing the mask first?
- Can I have lunch?
- Yes.
Thanks.
Murders within the bourgeois
are always motivated
by jealousy or cupidity?
A big group
wants to buy up the spa, right?
Yes. The Chaîne thermale
des volcans d'Auvergne.
It's no secret.
Duroc was one of the biggest
shareholders.
He intended selling his shares
to the town.
Thus depriving the Cazals
from a big amount.
Cazal son did confirm
his intention of selling.
You know, by turning
the Children's house
into guest houses,
the Durocs pinched
half the clientele of the Cazals.
So, it was
an opportunity for them.
Cupidity, motive.
That's what you said, right?
The Cazal knew the Durocs
were in favour of the sale.
Yes. It's the lawyer, the cop
or the daughter of a suspect
who wants to teach me my job?
All three, commander.
I want the truth.
Ask your mother
if she's told you the truth,
and get back to me.
What are you insinuating?
I'll save some time for both of us.
Yesterday, the Cazals called me
after you visited them.
I sent the forensics.
They scrutinized
the pancake utensils and the kitchen.
They didn't find anything.
That's no proof.
Régis Cazal himself
was a victim of the poisoning.
He was at home the night
of the murder. His doctor confirmed
and witnesses, too.
He could have hired someone.
Now, that's not worthy of you.
I'll tell you what I think.
The good feelings
of late Dr Duroc and your mother
are far from helping the resort.
Encouraging tourism here,
would help less wealthy people
than your mother.
Like this producer
of Salers meat.
I spoiled your appetite?
Irène Volkov
General physician
Garnier's still suspecting you.
I know you'll defend me.
They have no other lead.
The Cazals are not clear,
but they have alibis.
I'll fight to convince the council
not to sell the spa.
It would be a catastrophe.
I'm dining with the mayor tonight.
Coming?
No.
I didn't spend much time with Adam.
You've resumed being a lawyer.
That's good.
You'll stay here
and assist me in my project.
It'd be good for Adam's health.
It's all about you, once again.
Adam just had bronchiolitis.
The physio said
the massages did him good.
Stop it!
You didn't ask
anything about me.
How I am,
where I live, with who.
I'm worse than a burden for you,
I'm invisible.
I don't see you where you are.
It's a reproach that women
say to men, not to their mother.
I'm going back to Paris.
I had dinner with the other patients
and their husbands.
They wanted to go to the casino.
What's wrong?
I should have never come.
You got into words?
I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
Isn't it rushed?
Give yourself some time.
I can see you've made up your mind.
I must prepare for my exams.
Think that's what's good
for your son? Fear for his mum?
You know what's good for my son?
If I'm commissioner,
I'll be more with him.
I came because
you were in the shit.
But I just can't get
to do a thing.
I'm sorry.
I was tactless.
I often am, I know.
Stay. Not for me,
but to find Xavier's murderer.
I loved him.
I want to know why he died.
- The police will do its job.
- They're all fools.
An investigating judge
is on the case.
Right. You go to Paris,
take your exams and come back.
Meanwhile, I'll take care of Adam
like my own son.
Adam is my son, mum.
My son, mum! Understand?
Garnier's been killed.
Not too young for a crime scene?
His throat was cut in one go.
- Time of the death?
- Can't say.
The water's about 40 degrees C.
No blood in his body.
We must analyse the skin.
I did a biopsy.
The stab was given
in the bunker.
There's some traces of blood.
The killer stripped the victim,
so there would be no DNA,
and then pushed him in the basin.
Just like Dr Duroc.
The crime scene
has been messed up,
but we managed
to find shoe marks.
Can there be arsenic
in the underground galleries?
La Bourboule is the only spring
where there is.
That's why it's so special.
Here, it's sulphur and limestone.
OK. I'll leave you.
What's in your mind?
We don't know the origin
of the arsenic that killed Duroc.
The analyses
mentioned sediments.
- Think both deaths are connected?
- Yes.
Lots of youth come here
for after-parties.
Garnier might have caught them
and it went wrong.
They slit his throat
to drink his blood? Vampires?
We must consider all the leads.
When we heard of Garnier's death,
my superior asked the CID
to detach you from the case.
No, I'm on leave.
And I'm going back.
No, you're not.
My boss was bumped off.
We're partners again, like before.
You didn't do that?
You called Baron?
Adam's father, right?
Just a stamp and back you are.
You're a pain!
What news?
I should be assigned
the investigation.
Find another lawyer.
But I don't need one anymore.
Remember the adoptive daughter
of Simone Cazal?
- Grandma had gone to her funeral.
- Yes. Yamara.
She was killed
twenty-odd years ago.
Her body was found
near the Croizat spring.
Murder in La Bourboule
Garnier took part
in the investigation.
"Commander Garnier alleges
Yamara Cazal, aged 20,
"had been raped
and then hit on the head
"near the spring of Croizat.
"DNA traces accuse
suspect Julien Dormant, aged 32.
"The man was camping
with his 6-year-old daughter
"who was at La Bourboule
for an eczema treatment.
"The victim was working
as a youth supervisor."
And the little one?
Any photos of her?
No. it's forbidden
by Child protection.
- Have a printer, here?
- Yes.
Murderer of Yamara Commits Suicide
Body Found at Félix Spring
We've got a problem.
The Dormant file is missing.
Garnier?
Archives claim no one requested it.
This story might be the connection
with Dr Duroc's murder.
At the trial, Dormant continued
to claim his innocence.
2 months later,
in his cell,
he'd slit his throat open.
The throat cut, like Garnier.
That's a lot of coincidences.
It is said that the testimony
of the child clearing her father
was held inadmissible
after psychiatric analysis
and lack of proof.
The girl might have seen the murder.
I'll ask Saint-Étienne tribunal
for a copy of the trial.
- Can you come, Fanny?
- Coming.
CID has detached you
to team up with Captain Balhul.
You'll start as of tomorrow.
We'll get you a gun,
and a car.
Heard everybody?
Stop pretending to work.
I want to know
Garnier's exact timetable.
We must catch the bastard
who did that. We have to.
Got it?
He was at the Café de Paris
before the murder.
We're waiting for the videos.
OK. Get down to work.
The minutes of the hearings. Here,
what we know of Duroc's patients.
This, the shareholders of the spa.
OK. And so what?
This was one of Garnier's habits.
He couldn't manage Smartphones.
Was Duroc the father
of your daughter?
Her father was Ukrainian.
He's dead.
Many testimonies assert
you were pregnant
when you left Clermont
for Chernobyl.
Whatever your explanation might be,
according to the date of birth
of your daughter,
her father can't be Ukrainian.
So I'm asking you
who the father is.
It's none of your business.
You're wrong.
But it doesn't matter.
If it wasn't Xavier Duroc,
he could have got to know.
You were lovers then?
Go out!
You've lied to your daughter
all along.
I wonder why she's defending you.
Why the hell did I come back?
To know the truth about yourself.
You needed it.
If Xavier Duroc was my father,
why hide it from me?
It makes no sense.
It might not be him.
I hope it has nothing to do
with the 2 murders.
The time of the death
was between 9pm and 11pm.
That clears the youngsters
who found the body.
Jugular and carotid neatly slit.
From behind.
In one go, by a right-hander.
I have no clues about the blade.
If it can be of any help,
the commander had
1,3 g alcohol in his blood.
Champagne.
He'd eaten oysters.
No trace of arsenic.
Thank you.
I'd like to know something else.
I need a paternity test,
maybe linked to the case.
There's no problem.
I need 2 blood samples.
Compare mine with Dr Duroc's.
If the test is negative,
I'd rather it stays confidential.
Otherwise, it must appear
in the file.
OK.
It's good you're continuing.
It will strengthen
his immune system.
He still got bronchiolitis.
3 more sessions
and it will be over.
You didn't ask me
who the father was.
I was waiting for you to tell me.
You're not bothered, actually.
Listen. If he wants to come,
he's very welcome.
I don't think it's the case.
And my father?
- Tell me about him, please.
- I told you everything.
You loved him?
What do you think?
- You never told me the truth.
- Being a cop
doesn't allow you
to talk to me like that.
Garnier.
I'll deal with those gentlemen
of the Chaîne thermale.
I'll get the list
of Garnier's calls in the morning.
Thanks.
- The Dormant trial.
- Good.
Court of Saint-Étienne
"Hélène Dormant,
born on 11 December 1990.
"Nervous eczema
"of somatic origin.
"Duroc. Garnier.
"Yamara.
"Hélène Dormant?"
Séléna Rome,
born on 11 December 1990.
What's the maiden name
of Hélène Dormant's mother?
What are you doing here?
You could ask me,
before nosing in my papers.
Rome. Anything else?
- Adam's with Séléna?
- You didn't want me.
- Her real name is Hélène Dormant.
- What?
But, Fanny...
Adam? Adam?
Séléna won't do him any harm.
- They're not here.
- Calm down.
She premeditated the murders
of Duroc and Garnier.
She's blaming them
for her father's suicide.
Adam...
My love.
My father was innocent.
I told Duroc again
when I went to see him.
20 years later, he believed me.
He told me on the phone,
the evening he died.
The call at 9pm?
He wanted to help me recall
Yamara's murder.
That's not what you told me.
I did not kill him.
So, when I suggested
you go and see Xavier,
you knew who he was?
I didn't even know his name,
but I recognised him
when he opened the door.
Séléna Rome?
Hélène Dormant. You remember?
Yes, very well.
For 20 years,
I refused to see a shrink.
He'd stolen my word
by distorting it.
I was once again facing him.
You didn't believe me.
My father committed suicide
because of you.
You wanted to know if my "daddy"
had quarrelled with Yamara
like he quarrelled
with my "mummy".
You were 6, if I remember well.
There'll soon be prescription
for the real murderer.
Well.
Tell me what you remember today.
I was on treatment for
what they thought was eczema.
My father didn't want to leave me.
We camped outside.
He'd pick me up from the spa.
That's how he met Yamara.
That evening she came with us
to the spring of Croizat.
I was tired.
I was resting in the tent.
I saw them kiss in the basin.
My father told her to wait,
he was going to get something
from the car.
We were parked 10 minutes away.
I preferred to stay in the tent.
Hélène?
I'll be right back.
Yamara's down.
Let go of me!
- What did you do?
- Nothing!
It wasn't my father's voice.
I heard a violent blow
and noises in the water.
I waited for my father
to come back.
I was a bit scared.
I heard steps
coming from upstream.
Then, I really got scared.
Hélène?
You OK, honey?
- Where's Yamara?
- I don't know.
- A man came for her.
- Who was it?
I don't know.
I didn't see him.
Don't worry. It was probably
a relative of hers.
The next day,
my father saw blood on a rock.
He woke me up.
That's when the police came.
Séléna, why didn't you
tell me all this?
You didn't trust me?
I recognised Garnier
when he came to the practice.
He's the one
who'd arrested my father.
I called you so that you'd come.
But I realised if I spoke,
I'd be suspected.
Nothing proves
he didn't kill her.
You convinced yourself.
And even committed 2 murders.
I'm not a liar,
let alone a murderer.
After Xavier's call,
you met him at the spa
and poisoned him with arsenic.
You knew about the poisoning.
- You're torturing her.
- Keep quiet, mum!
I'm sorry I wasn't sick
to exist for you.
You've got no alibi.
The night Garnier was killed,
you came back at 9:30,
which matches
the time of the crime.
Your shoes were muddy.
Probably from the Croizat spring.
- I'll get them analysed.
- No.
You slit his throat
so that he dies like your father.
No. I went back there
before the dinner with my friends.
I wanted to find some clue.
Something I'd have forgotten.
As from now, you're in custody.
Get your things ready.
You've surely got
medicine to take.
Yes, doctor?
I sent you the results
of the test by email.
It's up to you to know
if it should appear in my report.
Fine, thank you.
I need some time.
You're taking it out on Séléna
instead of me.
Because you've always lied to me?
- You're crazy?
- No, I...
Stop it!
Car keys and phone.
Irène.
Give her the keys.
I know how to use it.
Séléna, stop it.
You're condemning yourself, Séléna.
I've got nothing to lose.
Séléna, stop it. Stop it.
Calling all units:
intercept vehicle,
a Volvo registered CV...
82-72.
- Driver, Séléna Rome...
- Shit!
...is armed and dangerous.
Individual located
at La Belle Époque hotel.
A maniac is threatening
Mrs Cazal with a gun.
- Where are they?
- Gone upstairs.
Help!
Séléna?
No!
I had no choice.
What happened?
It's my fault.
She came saying
she wanted to talk about Yamara.
I didn't understand.
When she said who she was,
I asked her to leave.
She pulled out her gun.
What did she want?
She said her father loved Yamara,
that he hadn't killed her.
She wanted the trial
to be reviewed.
I think she was suspecting
my husband.
Did Dr Duroc
bring up the question,
when he spoke to you
the morning he died?
No. Why would he have done so?
- And commander Garnier?
- No.
It's she who killed them?
We must check.
I just heard
her mother had put her up.
What right does she have
to question us?
I'm part of the CID.
You have to answer my questions.
Where's Séléna?
Chad stopped her
from killing Simone Cazal.
She's wounded but she'll be OK.
You were accusing her
but she was only asking for help.
You still think she's innocent?
Instead of condemning her,
you should clear her,
like you did for me.
You're much closer to each other
than what you think.
Can you be less enigmatic?
Séléna and you
have lived without a father.
She lost her father
because no one believed her.
And you didn't know him...
because of lies.
Your real father's not Ukrainian.
It's Xavier's father.
He was my mentor in cancerology,
and one night,
happened what should have
never happened.
That's why you left for Ukraine?
I was so ashamed.
I lied to you...
to forget.
It's not Séléna
that I resemble, but you.
Adam's father
is my former boss at CID.
A high-ranking officer.
Married.
The operation was a success.
The pleura's been touched.
We'll keep her on sedatives
to prevent an extra painful
respiratory wake-up.
Will she have any sequelae?
You shot?
Yes.
She'll have a nice scar
under the clavicle.
We'll let you know
when she wakes up.
Thanks.
Séléna went to see the Cazals...
because she wanted the truth.
And Xavier wanted to see her
because he realized
he hadn't believed her
when she was a child.
I'm sure she found out something.
That's why he died.
You must find the true culprit.
Promise me.
Fanny?
Forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
I can't ask
for the file to be reopened
20 years after the trial,
especially without proof!
Tell me what you've got
on that maniac.
Her shoes have been taken
for analysis.
We'll soon get the data
of her mobile and her moves.
OK. I'll try to cool off
Internal Affairs
after you messed up.
I regret having accepted
your detachment.
If he hears about the paternity test,
forget your career.
We'd better find the killer.
Your mother brainwashed you?
It took her 30 years
to tell me the truth.
So for the first time,
I feel like listening to her.
Clearing Séléna
means clearing her father.
He'd have been a victim
of a judicial blunder.
The murderer of Duroc and Garnier
would be the same
as Yamara Cazal,
20 years later.
It's just a hypothesis.
We'll have
a 3rd murder to solve.
What news about
the Chaîne thermale?
Garnier was to be in charge
of the security of the building.
They'd even spoken
about his contract.
A golden retirement.
And Cazal?
They confirmed they were interested
in buying up his hotel
provided the operating company
of the spa
accepted their acquisition offer.
- That's all we have?
- Yes.
No.
They asked Garnier
to join them at the casino,
but he had to go to his sister's
in La Tour-d'Auvergne.
The commissioner called me.
Thanks for coming.
I couldn't go to the morgue.
May we ask you some questions
about your brother?
Sure.
I know people disliked him.
He never hid it.
He was a good
and generous person.
Our mother was disabled.
He never told me.
I'm not surprised.
He acted tough,
but he was very modest.
He blamed me for giving up my life
to take care of her.
But I didn't want her to go
to an institution.
He came to see you
the evening he died?
No.
He was to pick up
some old files.
I put them aside.
Yamara Cazal Case
I remember this story very well.
I was a chambermaid
at La Belle Époque.
I'd even been promoted
to head chambermaid.
It was just before the trial.
Do you remember if your brother
suspected Régis Cazal
or his father for the murder?
No, I don't think so.
But Mr Régis and his sister
were very close.
Then he went to a nursing home.
If I may say so.
- Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
- Hello?
- Sophie Renard speaking.
He often spoke about you.
There's a problem?
He liked you.
He called you the Pharaoh.
Garnier underlined
those testimonies,
because he didn't believe
in the alibis of the Cazals.
The hotel employees?
The concierge and a waiter.
He knew Cazal would hit the jackpot
with the sale of the spa.
I always thought
he was a dirty cop.
I can picture him
blackmailing Cazal so well.
That's why
he incriminated my mother?
Yes.
We went to Xavier's
to search for instructions
as regards his funeral.
I fell on notebooks
that Xavier completed
after his sessions.
It's the last one.
After he saw Séléna,
the word "figurine"
was underlined twice.
Xavier kept everything.
His notes when he was
an expert at the court.
And there, the psychiatric analysis
of Hélène Dormant.
"Played with figurines
so as not to see."
A way of saying she'd caught
her father with Yamara.
Understand?
What counts is this figurine.
If he wrote it down 20 years later,
it must be important.
I'll have to keep
these notebooks.
- They might be exhibits.
- Sure.
There, I found it.
A hearing statement
of Julien Dormant.
"Hélène loved Yamara.
She played with a figurine
"that she had offered her.
"A Filipino figurine
representing Mayari.
"Yamara had told her
she looked like the Moon,
"with her fragile fair skin.
"She longed to return
to the Philippines."
Got the inventory
of the little girl's things?
No figurine.
They recorded everything.
Even her hairbands.
She's awake but the sedatives
are still acting.
But she can talk.
Recovery Room
Séléna?
I need you to relive the day
Yamara was killed.
Remember that Filipino figurine
she offered you?
Mayari.
The goddess of the moon.
Like "Séléna".
I remember.
I remember it very well.
I'd picked up a soft chewing-gum.
With that I'd made a cape
for Mayari.
I left it there.
So?
The gum is intact.
Can you get the DNA
of the owner?
It's been very well conserved.
What sample must I compare it to?
With the victims of the poisoning.
I'll call the hospital.
I examined him at La Belle Époque.
But I didn't do a blood test.
No food poisoning?
He had symptoms,
but I didn't prescribe anything.
His mother
had given him everything.
Bicarbonate and a generic drug
against arsenic.
She was a chemist
before marriage.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're welcome. Bye.
So?
We need a sample
of Régis Cazal's DNA.
I had a coffee with him
at La Belle Époque.
That's not all.
I met an expert who had inspected
the spa after the poisoning.
When he came to give Sophie Renard
his final report,
and talking about the poisoning
with arsenic trioxide,
he remembered a study
had been done in the resort
when drilling wells
had been shut down.
In one of them, they'd mentioned
deposits highly concentrated
with arsenic trioxide
in the faulty pipes.
- The Cazals owned that well.
- In the park of the hotel.
Régis Cazal,
you are taken in custody
for the murders of Duroc,
Garnier and Yamara Cazal.
- What's this joke?
- Turn around.
- Where's your mother?
- Upstairs, in her flat.
2nd floor.
Hey! No.
No! you can't do that!
Letters rogatory
have been issued by the judge.
Move on.
We found the same
at Croizat spring,
20 years old...
With your DNA on it.
It was an accident.
Yamara!
Let go of me!
- But what did you do?
- Nothing!
- You slept with him?
- No.
Yes!
No, you're mine!
Mine alone!
I threw the stone she fell on
in the water.
Then I took her to Félix spring.
I hit,
again and again,
to leave blood marks.
Then I threw her body
in the Dordogne.
I was sure
Dormant would be accused.
Dr Duroc came over to talk to you
about the figurines.
To convince me to accept
the trial to be reviewed
before prescription.
I had to protect my son.
And your interests.
By poisoning him,
you killed 2 birds with one stone.
Régis had found the vials
of arsenic trioxide
in a bin that had opened up.
We found it
in your medicine cabinet.
With the arsenic you collected
from your drilling well.
I used it as rat poison.
I mixed it with bicarbonate.
When Dr Duroc came back
in the evening after the party,
he was complaining
about the pancakes he'd eaten.
His heart didn't hold out long.
You got rid of him
by taking him to the spa,
through the galleries, discretely.
Xavier?
Xavier?
Hello?
Xavier, can you hear me?
Xavier? I can't hear a thing.
I'm hanging up.
The arsenic was a godsend so that
Garnier would suspect Irène.
He understood very quickly.
When did he start
blackmailing you?
When you released your mother.
He became much greedier.
How much?
He knew about the Dormant girl.
He raised his rates
and demanded
10 % of the transaction
with the Chaîne thermale.
I agreed to meet him
at Croizat spring
and promised to pay him cash.
I slit his throat
with my best knife.
He bled like a pig.
I'll tell you a secret:
the town has bought up the spa.
How's your shoulder?
I'm learning to paint
with my left hand.
I'll never forgive myself.
I forced you to do it.
Actually, I came to tell you...
that they've accepted to review
your father's trial.
I just got to know.
Thank you.
Fanny?
Have you seen Fanny?
I'm here, Mum.
Baby love...
Mummy's going just one week.
Be good with your gran, OK?
Hurry, you'll miss your train.
Bye.
Fanny?
Good luck for your exam.
Subtitles: ECLAIR
I'm trying to stay neat.
There.
You're very ugly.
Don't be afraid, Alban.
This disguise
is to make fun of death.
To say it doesn't scare you.
See you later.
- Hey, you OK?
- Yes.
All's well?
- Séléna?
- Yes.
- Don't forget your drip.
- Don't worry.
I'm going back to the practice.
- Bye, Dr Duroc.
- Bye.
One evening, a man sat down
at the foot of the fairy rock.
He was overwhelmed with pain.
His one-year old child was dying.
A fairy saw him
and asked him what happened.
The man explained his grief
and couldn't hold back
his tears,
that spouted out a clear spring
when they touched the ground.
"Take this water to wash your son.
"In a few days, he will be revived",
the fairy explained,
before disappearing, too.
The third fairy enquired
about the man's pain,
whose tears, once again,
spouted a spring.
When bathing him
in the third spring
the child smiled at him.
His son was cured!
And thus was born
La Bourboule.
Beware whatsoever:
where there are fairies,
there's the devil too.
Thanks, doctor Volkov.
- If you don't feel well, come back.
- Thanks.
We've noted about
50 cases of poisoning.
How can that be?
10 years ago, we had salmonella.
We'll get the results
of the tests tomorrow,
but there's no high fever.
I don't think it's viral.
Has the arsenic
in the water increased?
All the patients have had
either at the spa or here.
I must inform the health office.
Sophie,
it's a necessary precaution,
I must order
the temporary shutdown of the spa.
- Right. Bye, Mr Mayor.
- Thank you, doctor.
Irène, Xavier's disappeared.
He's not answering the phone.
He must be on a call
on the mountains. Don't worry.
- Mrs Renard.
- Commander Garnier.
We've come with
the health department officers,
in case it is a malicious act.
Many complaints
were filed yesterday.
Come. Let's go to the installations
in the basement.
This way, ladies and gentlemen.
Xavier!
Six missed calls
Right.
OK. It's clear for me.
He had a heart attack.
From the rigor mortis,
he must have died yesterday.
Anything to do with the poisoning?
Possible. His doctor says
his heart was weak,
he was taking anticoagulants.
The autopsy will tell us more.
Found the clothes?
Nothing.
I searched all the lockers.
I doubt he wore
his birthday suit at the party.
Especially in front of the kids.
Irène Volkov, you know her?
She's a doctor at La Bourboule.
Alright.
Irène Volkov
Today 0:48 - Missed call
I'm Mrs Gilot, public defender.
Can you get me out?
I've got patients waiting for me.
I'd rather have something else.
I'm checking
your rights are respected.
Did you see a doctor?
- I'm a doctor.
- True.
They suspect you
of poisoning Duroc,
child psychiatrist,
with an arsenic medicine.
I used to heal my lupus patients
with that medicine.
This product is the cause
of 50 cases of poisoning
the eve of your arrest.
A child was admitted to hospital.
The police claim
I'd disguised the crime
by causing mass poisoning.
It's ridiculous.
You refused
to answer their questions.
Why didn't you cooperate?
I'd have done it if they hadn't
stupidly arrested me.
You'd like to inform your family?
No.
Clermont-Ferrand,
4 minutes' stop.
Connecting train to Saint-Étienne
at 7:14, platform number 2.
Lyon Part-Dieu at 7:18,
platform 4.
Please use
the underground passage.
Fanny Volkov?
Yes.
I'm Séléna Rome.
Irène's a grandmother?
She doesn't know.
A symptom of my lupus.
I'm used to it.
It's an autoimmune disease.
The marks get worse in the summer,
even with sunblock.
You take part
in medical tests with my mum?
Yes, using an arsenic
trioxide compound.
I spent 1 month
at the Clermont hospital,
and since one week, it's being
followed up in La Bourboule.
Irène offered to put me up.
She spoke much about you.
I'd rather you tell me
about her arrest.
They must have been there a while.
I was with another patient,
on a drip.
- How crazy!
- Please.
I want that too.
I need access to all the documents.
This can't be...
The key, please!
There.
Oh my... Arsenic.
POISON
As from now,
you are taken into custody.
Captain Balhul
will seize your computer
and you give me your phone.
- I can't leave my patients.
- Please.
Don't touch me!
Madam, how long will this take?
Right. Follow me, now.
Good.
The keys of my car are on my desk.
Then, the captain questioned us
on what Irène did that eve.
She was called to town
in the night, about a poisoning.
Dr Duroc tried to reach her
before 9pm.
I answered. He couldn't get her
on her mobile.
Then, they searched the house.
They made such a mess!
Did my mother
manage to see Xavier Duroc?
I don't think so.
I was with her when the spa manager
gave her the news.
She fainted.
I'm off to the hospital.
I'll pick you up
on my way back, madam.
No, it's OK.
I'll manage.
No need to be formal.
Yes.
Fanny! I can't believe you're here.
You should've told me.
- So this is yours?
- Yes.
No, I found it in the street.
Fine.
Let's make a declaration.
- Hope you didn't steal it?
- I did, I admit.
Left the CID?
No, I'm just on maternity leave.
Everybody, this is Fanny,
my former partner in Lille.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Come home tonight.
I've got everything you need.
- Keep cool.
- What?
What are you doing in Clermont?
You serious?
Chad, you arrested my mother,
yesterday.
Dammit. Volkov.
- It didn't strike me. What an idiot.
- For sure.
- One of her patients called me.
- Séléna Rome?
The search and the arrest
were rather harsh.
Your mother's not easy.
As for the search,
I was with rookies.
- Never your fault.
OK. Come on, tell me.
Quite heavy charges.
Since yesterday,
her silence is not helping her.
She only asked for tea.
Let me talk to her.
Hey, can you bring Volkov over?
Commander Garnier
will be in at 9:30.
You don't have much time.
OK. Thanks.
- You knew the victim?
- Not much.
I met him once in Paris,
a few years ago.
That's the last time
I saw my mother.
Remember?
The double line upwards.
Silly, I've got two.
It's your cop friends
who called you?
No.
It's one of your patients
you're so fond of.
Séléna?
- She's amazing.
- Her disease, too.
It's attacking
its own defence system.
Like you, apparently,
since you've been arrested.
Commander Garnier
understands Russian.
- Insults especially.
- What the hell...
You're nursing?
Adam. He's 6 months.
That's a very pretty name, Adam.
Taking me back?
I just can't wait to meet him.
I don't get it.
Why have you come
if you can't release me?
You killed him?
Tell me the truth.
You think I'm guilty?
But...
Fanny,
I lost my best friend.
I loved him.
We'd separated,
but we were very close.
How could you...
Miss Volkov,
you have no business being here.
Take her to her cell.
You, the Egyptian, not a word.
Go back to your babysitting.
Fanny,
please come with me.
I don't need a nosy parker
interfering with my investigation.
No special privileges here.
Tell me what she's charged with.
Why would she have killed
a man she loved?
Jealousy, cupidity.
The usual stuff with the bourgeois.
Especially those
who've made it.
They always want more.
My mother's never been after money.
Let me check her file.
I can help you save time.
But you're the daughter
of the suspect.
And I care a hang
about cop solidarity.
I've got an antipathic nature
and a cynical philosophy.
You must hate yourself
on principles?
I'm not the kind to waste my time
trying to love myself.
The contact
of the public defender.
I'm warning you
I'll keep an eye
on Captain Balhul.
His wife walked out
and left him with the kids.
Don't take advantage
of the situation.
Rudeness is another
of your traits.
You saved his life, in Lille?
He didn't dare use his arm.
It wasn't your case.
He might feel indebted to you
but he mustn't divulge anything.
Now, you leave my shop.
I'll be seeing you soon.
I told you I'll see you soon.
You're not my type: too young.
Thank you.
A discharge of Mrs Gilot.
I'm taking over
the defence of Irène Volkov.
Become a brief?
Not at the CID anymore?
Well, I was a criminal lawyer
before joining the police.
I'm currently taking the exam
to be commissioner.
To go back to criminal law,
I enrolled at the bar.
It's the first time I'm seeing this.
You'll end up at internal affairs.
The least blunder
and I'll ruin your end of career.
You're starting to sound
like your mother.
What charges justify her custody?
They'll take you to her cell.
The time of the death
is not written?
The body stewed for a while
in the water of a spa.
And there's no DNA trace either.
Your mother got rid
of her victim's clothes,
certainly to have a fling with him
before poisoning him.
Nothing proves she poisoned him,
let alone having poisoned
all those at the party.
The blood tests
taken from the victims
proved the arsenic used
was Trisenic
and came from her practice.
It was easy for your mother
to pour that poison
in the drinks served on the park
or in the sweets.
The dosage for Dr Duroc
was just a little stronger
enough to cause a cardiac arrest.
There was 0,1 mg in his blood.
It's lethal.
What would the motive be?
Xavier Duroc had made her
his only heir.
It was just before
they lost their child,
notary says.
Properties in La Bourboule
worth several millions,
plus the shares
of the company owning the Spa.
Don't hesitate
if you've got more questions.
Motherhood's made you reasonable?
I'm not leaving the police.
It's temporary.
It's a pity.
You don't have to do this for me.
You've never worried about me
for all these years.
You weren't accused of murder.
If you don't want me
as a lawyer, say it.
Searching for forgiveness?
I'm not here to settle
our problems. Just yours.
Let me work. Then I'll go.
As you like.
You inherited of the fortune
of Xavier Duroc.
- You didn't know?
- No.
He never told me about it.
Garnier'll want to prove
the opposite.
Xavier texted you at 8:05 pm.
"I need to talk to you."
You didn't answer.
I was called
to the Fenestre park.
Then, you reached him at 00:48.
- The conversation lasted 25 secs.
- No.
I didn't reach him.
There was no reception.
It often happens
when we're on the move.
The spa Wi-Fi hotspot shows
he was there at that time.
That's why
Garnier's accusing you.
But I wasn't at the spa.
I called on 3 people
before going home.
You must give me their contact.
In your opinion,
who'd want to kill Xavier so badly?
I can only think of the Cazal.
They're hoteliers.
Those 2 families are in conflict
over the city management.
- They knew he was sick?
- Everyone did.
He had a stroke
during a municipal meeting.
The Trisenic's no trivial choice.
They want me accused
owing to my research.
Irène.
Er... Chad, where's Adam?
Sleeping in my office.
What news?
No. Why?
I know that face.
You can't say lies.
Two teenagers disappeared
during a hike.
They were from
the Children's home.
And...?
They left yesterday,
camped by Guéry lake
and disappeared in the night.
The alert was sounded at 9am.
We just got to know.
The mountain gendarmes are on it.
Anything to do with the crime?
It's Damien Dutour, he was suffering
from diabetes and obesity.
He came around noon
to get his insulin.
And the other one?
Rebecca Lalande,
a patient of yours?
No.
She came with Damien.
I only know
she suffers from asthma
and has some allergies.
They could have taken the Trisenic
at that moment?
The waiting room gives onto
the medical room
where I see to my patients.
You're accusing those kids?
Their testimony could be essential.
OK. Balhul, meet up
the gendarmes
and bring back those kids.
Do note
the prosecutor's prolonged
the custody of your client.
I might have more questions.
I have nothing else to say.
My mother didn't want me
to join the police.
She wanted me to change the world,
not to protect it.
You've come for her, though.
How did it go?
There'll be some kind of backlash.
- Tell me, any other leads?
- I can't.
Amongst Duroc's patients?
Or his family.
No close relatives, only cousins
who don't live in La Bourboule.
Who's this little man's daddy?
I know him?
It's Baron?
I always had a crush on him.
I don't regret.
He didn't leave his wife?
What's he doing now?
- In the DNPJ division.
- Oh, right.
You like complicated things.
And you?
Carmen left.
The boys are with me.
- Why?
- I doubt I'll ever know.
She's in Hong Kong, now.
And... Séléna Rome,
she's still at your mum's?
Yes. She's waiting for me.
Why?
- For nothing.
- Liar.
Yes, my love.
This is where mummy grew up.
Anybody in?
Séléna?
Over here!
I dusted it.
It's big enough for Adam?
I think it was my cradle.
Where was it?
There's a storeroom upstairs,
full of stuff for children.
I'll have a look afterwards.
Everything's changed here.
- I'm starving.
- It's past 3.
There's some stew left.
I'll make it warm.
Thanks. That's perfect.
I'll change Adam.
It's good you're here,
especially for afterwards.
I'm exaggerating but for me,
she's always been like Dr Jekyll
and Mrs Hyde.
On the one side,
an extraordinary doctor,
nonconformist, passionate.
And on the other...
Overwhelming.
The worst was her absence.
She entrusted me
to my grand-parents,
in this house,
before leaving for Ukraine.
And then I only remember
promises she never kept,
projects of living together
forever put off.
I only saw her at week-ends...
When she was in France.
And did you know Xavier Duroc?
For a consultation,
the day before he died.
Irène wanted me to see him
to talk about my disease.
A possible cure, and so on.
What about the children
who're missing?
Something happened with them
in the mist room.
We can hardly see anything.
The kids removed
the girl's swimsuit,
and her boyfriend
stood up for her.
It was quite violent.
Can you watch over Adam?
Don't worry.
I've done a lot of babysitting.
If he wakes up,
I'll take him for a walk.
Fanny!
Valérie?
How cruel you are!
Why are you always so pretty?
But you, too.
- You work here?
- Yes, since 2 years.
Head of one of the last
Children's homes.
Maybe not for long.
You're here for your mum?
They're both here all year round.
Rebecca Lalande is a hard child.
She's offbeat,
and has a heavy past.
She's been everyone's scapegoat
since she arrived.
Damien Dutour is the only one
with whom she gets along.
A solid guy who could be scary.
A bit like Of mice and men
with teenagers.
If they ran away,
it's Rebecca's idea.
You spoke about her past?
What happened?
Many suicide attempts.
She almost died.
She was followed by Dr Duroc.
Before this place,
she was in an institution
after she tried to poison
her step-father.
I didn't tell the police anything.
What were they doing
the day of the poisoning?
They volunteered to sell pancakes
at the Fenestre park.
A pancake, ma'am?
No, thanks.
The treasure hunt
will start in 5 minutes,
at the fountain.
Right. Thanks.
You've done a great job.
I'll take you on any time.
What about putting back?
No, leave it.
We must dismantle bit by bit.
I'll do it.
- For you. And you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
You can go now.
You see to the counter?
They were allowed
to go hiking at Guéry lake
the next day.
Their supervisor told us
they were missing this morning.
I called the police immediately.
- You've got a lawyer?
- Yes. It's compulsory.
But he's in Clermont.
Can you ask him to call me?
Think them running away
has got to do with Dr Duroc's death?
They'll let us know
when we find them.
It's better if somebody
represents them now.
We lost their trace by sector 8,
the most uneven area.
Thanks.
Hello.
Can I speak to Régis Cazal, please?
You are...?
Fanny Volkov.
I'll call my son.
He must be at the restaurant.
Come. Follow me.
I knew your grand-mother well.
She'd come to
my adoptive daughter's funeral.
That was 20 years ago.
You'd gone to town
for high school.
You surely can't remember.
She was from the Philippines?
We didn't see you
after your mother settled in.
You felt homesick?
I've come to help my mother.
Forgive me, I'm so silly.
I heard she was suspected
of Dr Duroc's death.
That's probably why you're here.
- Régis Cazal. You asked to see me.
- Yes.
Thanks for sparing some time.
I wanted to know,
the day of the party,
did you notice anything strange
with the youngsters
at the pancakes?
No, I don't recall.
Everything was fine.
Things went wrong afterwards.
Why are you asking?
What are you searching for?
I'm defending Irène Volkov,
my mother.
I feel that Damien and Rebecca
are the cause of the poisoning.
They ran away yesterday.
And... they'd have poisoned
the pancakes?
By the way,
do you have any batter left?
I'd need a sample for analysis,
and the ingredients
that were used.
I understand better why I was sick.
I called for my doctor.
I couldn't move.
The pancakes
never came to my mind.
It's my cook who prepared the mix.
- Anything left?
- No.
All the elements
went into the dishwasher.
What would they have put in it?
Arsenic. Well, a medicine.
Oh, those wretched rascals!
Those wretched rascals!
We must inform
commander Garnier right away.
- You know him?
- Yes.
Well, he questioned us
the day Duroc was found dead.
- He took our statements.
- Yes.
Dr Duroc had come here
the morning of his... accident.
We weren't in agreement
about the board meeting
of the company managing the spa.
Our families always had
divergent interests,
but I sincerely regret his death.
A responsible man.
I'm certain our families
would have got along, eventually.
I like...
the valley in blue.
It gives... a feeling of vertigo.
You're good.
It's an aquarelle Irène did.
Tell her.
But to answer your question,
I started painting
when I was under cortisone.
I was totally restless.
I needed something to calm me.
Aquarelle did the trick.
And... that treatment did you good?
My doctor in Paris sent me here.
Let's say
it gave me back some hope.
Not of healing completely
but to cope with the disease.
It's easier to meet someone
without these marks.
Not staying for a drink?
No alcohol for me, thanks.
I'll leave you. I'm tired.
Come on.
That girl's real touching.
Her illness is so nasty.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
OK. They broadcast
the missing notice
about the kids.
The spring water
didn't cause the poisoning.
Some clients have been affected.
Régis Cazal, too.
It must be in the pancakes.
We must check
if all those who had were sick.
And get Duroc's medical dossier
on Rebecca.
There's surely
essential information.
We're not partners, remember?
Really?
Those children know about something.
Why disappear, then?
The cop has supplanted the lawyer.
A cop also defends the innocent.
My mother, in this case.
- Hello?
- It's Chad. We've got the kids.
They found them
thanks to a camera at a bus stop.
They'd spent the night
at a school friend's place.
Great. Thanks.
His nose is running. He must have
caught a cold in the train.
I've got physiological saline.
Don't worry.
What are you doing here?
I'm temporarily
in charge of the defence
of the Children's Home.
Consider Damien and Rebecca
are my clients.
Rebecca, tell us everything.
You can talk.
Damien, please.
We heard about Dr Duroc's death
during the hike at lake Guéry.
We were scared we'd be accused.
To find the culprit,
you must tell us everything.
At the Fenestre park,
we saw him go and vomit
by the sequoias.
- But he didn't die there.
- Damien didn't do anything.
I went with Damien
to see Dr Volkov.
Damien, your turn.
- Hello.
- Hello.
How can I help you?
I took them
because of the word "arsenic".
I wanted to make them all sick.
To take revenge
for what they did in the morning.
I'll have 2
with butter and sugar.
Dr Duroc offered
one of the pancakes
to Dr Volkov, but she didn't want.
So, he gulped both of them.
There were just a few vials.
I didn't think
it would act so fast.
What did you do with the vials
you poured in the batter?
We had a bin.
How many vials were there?
It's important, Rebecca.
Er... 10.
You sure?
Yes.
- Not more?
- No.
It takes more
to cause a cardiac arrest.
Thanks.
Tell the juvenile court everything.
- Alright?
- Yeah.
- Sorry?
- Yes, ma'am.
We should widen the right to abort
until the age of majority.
All this is perfect.
When your mother
noticed the theft,
she made the connection
with the poisoning.
She just needed to give
Dr Duroc a fatal dose,
thinking this rascal
would be blamed.
My mother's not as cynic as you.
- Hello, doctor.
- Hello.
The doses Irène had
are registered by the pharmacy.
If it tallies, it means Dr Duroc
was poisoned with something else?
arsenic trioxide is present
in different forms.
You get them
in pesticides, paints,
sometimes even in a natural state.
- Hello?
- Chad, I've got news.
Interested?
Ok, tell me.
I don't think it's the Trisenic
that killed Duroc.
- He did take, but that's not it.
- So...?
Someone gave him arsenic
in another form.
I'll call the prosecutor so he orders
further toxicologic analyses.
- I owe you that.
- OK. I hope so.
Thanks.
Tell your mother the results
of the protocol are encouraging.
Mrs Volkov?
I won't move from here
without my daughter.
The prosecutor
has ordered your release.
- You're free.
- Fanny's not here?
She's at your place.
You owe me an explanation,
isn't it?
The charges against you
have been lifted.
Dr Duroc was not poisoned
with Trisenic.
It might be arsenic
of natural origin.
Oops! A burp.
Come on here.
Come on here, sweetie.
Why are you bothering him?
He was OK, wasn't he?
Why didn't you call me
when you were arrested?
Fanny, I'm very happy
you've come,
but why expect something in return?
I taught you
never to expect anything.
Come off that.
It's your way
of eluding responsibilities.
You always had
everything you needed.
You didn't come to see me
when I lost my baby.
You knew how miserable I was.
I wrote you a letter.
A few words without any feeling.
Well. Stay a few days anyway.
When I heard
you were pregnant...
I hated you, Mum.
Tell me about Xavier.
I only met him once.
We spent all our childhood here.
His parents lived here,
at the time.
We almost never left each other,
even during our studies.
But one day, something happened...
And I went...
to live in Kiev.
You met my father?
And many years later,
I met Xavier again, by chance.
It was at a conference
on balneotherapy.
In Biarritz.
I was invited because,
after Fukushima,
I discovered in Japan
the benefits of our...
No medical, please.
Xavier had just lost his parents.
And he came to live
in La Bourboule.
He suggested I join him
to continue my research.
I accepted.
All my life, I...
I only thought of work,
treatment, research.
And suddenly,
I felt like settling down;
I wanted a family.
I fell pregnant.
Xavier dreamed of being a dad.
The amniocentesis
showed nothing abnormal,
but the child wasn't viable.
You'd have had a little sister.
It's crazy.
For money reasons,
this town that was dedicated
to cure children
gradually shut its doors.
Xavier regretted the closure
of the Children's home.
He wanted to restore the spa.
The fairies left long ago.
I must continue.
Maybe I'm the fairy.
The notary told them that very day,
that I was his heir.
I understand
why the police suspect you.
Sophie...
We must continue Xavier's project.
We must stop the sale of the spa.
What sale?
See who's there?
I think it's my daughter.
Fanny. There you are.
She's also my lawyer.
Where's Adam?
With the physio.
I thought he'd crush his chest.
Mums hate it, but it's
the only way to clear the lungs.
I've got patients waiting.
You'll explain about the spa?
What about removing the mask first?
- Can I have lunch?
- Yes.
Thanks.
Murders within the bourgeois
are always motivated
by jealousy or cupidity?
A big group
wants to buy up the spa, right?
Yes. The Chaîne thermale
des volcans d'Auvergne.
It's no secret.
Duroc was one of the biggest
shareholders.
He intended selling his shares
to the town.
Thus depriving the Cazals
from a big amount.
Cazal son did confirm
his intention of selling.
You know, by turning
the Children's house
into guest houses,
the Durocs pinched
half the clientele of the Cazals.
So, it was
an opportunity for them.
Cupidity, motive.
That's what you said, right?
The Cazal knew the Durocs
were in favour of the sale.
Yes. It's the lawyer, the cop
or the daughter of a suspect
who wants to teach me my job?
All three, commander.
I want the truth.
Ask your mother
if she's told you the truth,
and get back to me.
What are you insinuating?
I'll save some time for both of us.
Yesterday, the Cazals called me
after you visited them.
I sent the forensics.
They scrutinized
the pancake utensils and the kitchen.
They didn't find anything.
That's no proof.
Régis Cazal himself
was a victim of the poisoning.
He was at home the night
of the murder. His doctor confirmed
and witnesses, too.
He could have hired someone.
Now, that's not worthy of you.
I'll tell you what I think.
The good feelings
of late Dr Duroc and your mother
are far from helping the resort.
Encouraging tourism here,
would help less wealthy people
than your mother.
Like this producer
of Salers meat.
I spoiled your appetite?
Irène Volkov
General physician
Garnier's still suspecting you.
I know you'll defend me.
They have no other lead.
The Cazals are not clear,
but they have alibis.
I'll fight to convince the council
not to sell the spa.
It would be a catastrophe.
I'm dining with the mayor tonight.
Coming?
No.
I didn't spend much time with Adam.
You've resumed being a lawyer.
That's good.
You'll stay here
and assist me in my project.
It'd be good for Adam's health.
It's all about you, once again.
Adam just had bronchiolitis.
The physio said
the massages did him good.
Stop it!
You didn't ask
anything about me.
How I am,
where I live, with who.
I'm worse than a burden for you,
I'm invisible.
I don't see you where you are.
It's a reproach that women
say to men, not to their mother.
I'm going back to Paris.
I had dinner with the other patients
and their husbands.
They wanted to go to the casino.
What's wrong?
I should have never come.
You got into words?
I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
Isn't it rushed?
Give yourself some time.
I can see you've made up your mind.
I must prepare for my exams.
Think that's what's good
for your son? Fear for his mum?
You know what's good for my son?
If I'm commissioner,
I'll be more with him.
I came because
you were in the shit.
But I just can't get
to do a thing.
I'm sorry.
I was tactless.
I often am, I know.
Stay. Not for me,
but to find Xavier's murderer.
I loved him.
I want to know why he died.
- The police will do its job.
- They're all fools.
An investigating judge
is on the case.
Right. You go to Paris,
take your exams and come back.
Meanwhile, I'll take care of Adam
like my own son.
Adam is my son, mum.
My son, mum! Understand?
Garnier's been killed.
Not too young for a crime scene?
His throat was cut in one go.
- Time of the death?
- Can't say.
The water's about 40 degrees C.
No blood in his body.
We must analyse the skin.
I did a biopsy.
The stab was given
in the bunker.
There's some traces of blood.
The killer stripped the victim,
so there would be no DNA,
and then pushed him in the basin.
Just like Dr Duroc.
The crime scene
has been messed up,
but we managed
to find shoe marks.
Can there be arsenic
in the underground galleries?
La Bourboule is the only spring
where there is.
That's why it's so special.
Here, it's sulphur and limestone.
OK. I'll leave you.
What's in your mind?
We don't know the origin
of the arsenic that killed Duroc.
The analyses
mentioned sediments.
- Think both deaths are connected?
- Yes.
Lots of youth come here
for after-parties.
Garnier might have caught them
and it went wrong.
They slit his throat
to drink his blood? Vampires?
We must consider all the leads.
When we heard of Garnier's death,
my superior asked the CID
to detach you from the case.
No, I'm on leave.
And I'm going back.
No, you're not.
My boss was bumped off.
We're partners again, like before.
You didn't do that?
You called Baron?
Adam's father, right?
Just a stamp and back you are.
You're a pain!
What news?
I should be assigned
the investigation.
Find another lawyer.
But I don't need one anymore.
Remember the adoptive daughter
of Simone Cazal?
- Grandma had gone to her funeral.
- Yes. Yamara.
She was killed
twenty-odd years ago.
Her body was found
near the Croizat spring.
Murder in La Bourboule
Garnier took part
in the investigation.
"Commander Garnier alleges
Yamara Cazal, aged 20,
"had been raped
and then hit on the head
"near the spring of Croizat.
"DNA traces accuse
suspect Julien Dormant, aged 32.
"The man was camping
with his 6-year-old daughter
"who was at La Bourboule
for an eczema treatment.
"The victim was working
as a youth supervisor."
And the little one?
Any photos of her?
No. it's forbidden
by Child protection.
- Have a printer, here?
- Yes.
Murderer of Yamara Commits Suicide
Body Found at Félix Spring
We've got a problem.
The Dormant file is missing.
Garnier?
Archives claim no one requested it.
This story might be the connection
with Dr Duroc's murder.
At the trial, Dormant continued
to claim his innocence.
2 months later,
in his cell,
he'd slit his throat open.
The throat cut, like Garnier.
That's a lot of coincidences.
It is said that the testimony
of the child clearing her father
was held inadmissible
after psychiatric analysis
and lack of proof.
The girl might have seen the murder.
I'll ask Saint-Étienne tribunal
for a copy of the trial.
- Can you come, Fanny?
- Coming.
CID has detached you
to team up with Captain Balhul.
You'll start as of tomorrow.
We'll get you a gun,
and a car.
Heard everybody?
Stop pretending to work.
I want to know
Garnier's exact timetable.
We must catch the bastard
who did that. We have to.
Got it?
He was at the Café de Paris
before the murder.
We're waiting for the videos.
OK. Get down to work.
The minutes of the hearings. Here,
what we know of Duroc's patients.
This, the shareholders of the spa.
OK. And so what?
This was one of Garnier's habits.
He couldn't manage Smartphones.
Was Duroc the father
of your daughter?
Her father was Ukrainian.
He's dead.
Many testimonies assert
you were pregnant
when you left Clermont
for Chernobyl.
Whatever your explanation might be,
according to the date of birth
of your daughter,
her father can't be Ukrainian.
So I'm asking you
who the father is.
It's none of your business.
You're wrong.
But it doesn't matter.
If it wasn't Xavier Duroc,
he could have got to know.
You were lovers then?
Go out!
You've lied to your daughter
all along.
I wonder why she's defending you.
Why the hell did I come back?
To know the truth about yourself.
You needed it.
If Xavier Duroc was my father,
why hide it from me?
It makes no sense.
It might not be him.
I hope it has nothing to do
with the 2 murders.
The time of the death
was between 9pm and 11pm.
That clears the youngsters
who found the body.
Jugular and carotid neatly slit.
From behind.
In one go, by a right-hander.
I have no clues about the blade.
If it can be of any help,
the commander had
1,3 g alcohol in his blood.
Champagne.
He'd eaten oysters.
No trace of arsenic.
Thank you.
I'd like to know something else.
I need a paternity test,
maybe linked to the case.
There's no problem.
I need 2 blood samples.
Compare mine with Dr Duroc's.
If the test is negative,
I'd rather it stays confidential.
Otherwise, it must appear
in the file.
OK.
It's good you're continuing.
It will strengthen
his immune system.
He still got bronchiolitis.
3 more sessions
and it will be over.
You didn't ask me
who the father was.
I was waiting for you to tell me.
You're not bothered, actually.
Listen. If he wants to come,
he's very welcome.
I don't think it's the case.
And my father?
- Tell me about him, please.
- I told you everything.
You loved him?
What do you think?
- You never told me the truth.
- Being a cop
doesn't allow you
to talk to me like that.
Garnier.
I'll deal with those gentlemen
of the Chaîne thermale.
I'll get the list
of Garnier's calls in the morning.
Thanks.
- The Dormant trial.
- Good.
Court of Saint-Étienne
"Hélène Dormant,
born on 11 December 1990.
"Nervous eczema
"of somatic origin.
"Duroc. Garnier.
"Yamara.
"Hélène Dormant?"
Séléna Rome,
born on 11 December 1990.
What's the maiden name
of Hélène Dormant's mother?
What are you doing here?
You could ask me,
before nosing in my papers.
Rome. Anything else?
- Adam's with Séléna?
- You didn't want me.
- Her real name is Hélène Dormant.
- What?
But, Fanny...
Adam? Adam?
Séléna won't do him any harm.
- They're not here.
- Calm down.
She premeditated the murders
of Duroc and Garnier.
She's blaming them
for her father's suicide.
Adam...
My love.
My father was innocent.
I told Duroc again
when I went to see him.
20 years later, he believed me.
He told me on the phone,
the evening he died.
The call at 9pm?
He wanted to help me recall
Yamara's murder.
That's not what you told me.
I did not kill him.
So, when I suggested
you go and see Xavier,
you knew who he was?
I didn't even know his name,
but I recognised him
when he opened the door.
Séléna Rome?
Hélène Dormant. You remember?
Yes, very well.
For 20 years,
I refused to see a shrink.
He'd stolen my word
by distorting it.
I was once again facing him.
You didn't believe me.
My father committed suicide
because of you.
You wanted to know if my "daddy"
had quarrelled with Yamara
like he quarrelled
with my "mummy".
You were 6, if I remember well.
There'll soon be prescription
for the real murderer.
Well.
Tell me what you remember today.
I was on treatment for
what they thought was eczema.
My father didn't want to leave me.
We camped outside.
He'd pick me up from the spa.
That's how he met Yamara.
That evening she came with us
to the spring of Croizat.
I was tired.
I was resting in the tent.
I saw them kiss in the basin.
My father told her to wait,
he was going to get something
from the car.
We were parked 10 minutes away.
I preferred to stay in the tent.
Hélène?
I'll be right back.
Yamara's down.
Let go of me!
- What did you do?
- Nothing!
It wasn't my father's voice.
I heard a violent blow
and noises in the water.
I waited for my father
to come back.
I was a bit scared.
I heard steps
coming from upstream.
Then, I really got scared.
Hélène?
You OK, honey?
- Where's Yamara?
- I don't know.
- A man came for her.
- Who was it?
I don't know.
I didn't see him.
Don't worry. It was probably
a relative of hers.
The next day,
my father saw blood on a rock.
He woke me up.
That's when the police came.
Séléna, why didn't you
tell me all this?
You didn't trust me?
I recognised Garnier
when he came to the practice.
He's the one
who'd arrested my father.
I called you so that you'd come.
But I realised if I spoke,
I'd be suspected.
Nothing proves
he didn't kill her.
You convinced yourself.
And even committed 2 murders.
I'm not a liar,
let alone a murderer.
After Xavier's call,
you met him at the spa
and poisoned him with arsenic.
You knew about the poisoning.
- You're torturing her.
- Keep quiet, mum!
I'm sorry I wasn't sick
to exist for you.
You've got no alibi.
The night Garnier was killed,
you came back at 9:30,
which matches
the time of the crime.
Your shoes were muddy.
Probably from the Croizat spring.
- I'll get them analysed.
- No.
You slit his throat
so that he dies like your father.
No. I went back there
before the dinner with my friends.
I wanted to find some clue.
Something I'd have forgotten.
As from now, you're in custody.
Get your things ready.
You've surely got
medicine to take.
Yes, doctor?
I sent you the results
of the test by email.
It's up to you to know
if it should appear in my report.
Fine, thank you.
I need some time.
You're taking it out on Séléna
instead of me.
Because you've always lied to me?
- You're crazy?
- No, I...
Stop it!
Car keys and phone.
Irène.
Give her the keys.
I know how to use it.
Séléna, stop it.
You're condemning yourself, Séléna.
I've got nothing to lose.
Séléna, stop it. Stop it.
Calling all units:
intercept vehicle,
a Volvo registered CV...
82-72.
- Driver, Séléna Rome...
- Shit!
...is armed and dangerous.
Individual located
at La Belle Époque hotel.
A maniac is threatening
Mrs Cazal with a gun.
- Where are they?
- Gone upstairs.
Help!
Séléna?
No!
I had no choice.
What happened?
It's my fault.
She came saying
she wanted to talk about Yamara.
I didn't understand.
When she said who she was,
I asked her to leave.
She pulled out her gun.
What did she want?
She said her father loved Yamara,
that he hadn't killed her.
She wanted the trial
to be reviewed.
I think she was suspecting
my husband.
Did Dr Duroc
bring up the question,
when he spoke to you
the morning he died?
No. Why would he have done so?
- And commander Garnier?
- No.
It's she who killed them?
We must check.
I just heard
her mother had put her up.
What right does she have
to question us?
I'm part of the CID.
You have to answer my questions.
Where's Séléna?
Chad stopped her
from killing Simone Cazal.
She's wounded but she'll be OK.
You were accusing her
but she was only asking for help.
You still think she's innocent?
Instead of condemning her,
you should clear her,
like you did for me.
You're much closer to each other
than what you think.
Can you be less enigmatic?
Séléna and you
have lived without a father.
She lost her father
because no one believed her.
And you didn't know him...
because of lies.
Your real father's not Ukrainian.
It's Xavier's father.
He was my mentor in cancerology,
and one night,
happened what should have
never happened.
That's why you left for Ukraine?
I was so ashamed.
I lied to you...
to forget.
It's not Séléna
that I resemble, but you.
Adam's father
is my former boss at CID.
A high-ranking officer.
Married.
The operation was a success.
The pleura's been touched.
We'll keep her on sedatives
to prevent an extra painful
respiratory wake-up.
Will she have any sequelae?
You shot?
Yes.
She'll have a nice scar
under the clavicle.
We'll let you know
when she wakes up.
Thanks.
Séléna went to see the Cazals...
because she wanted the truth.
And Xavier wanted to see her
because he realized
he hadn't believed her
when she was a child.
I'm sure she found out something.
That's why he died.
You must find the true culprit.
Promise me.
Fanny?
Forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
I can't ask
for the file to be reopened
20 years after the trial,
especially without proof!
Tell me what you've got
on that maniac.
Her shoes have been taken
for analysis.
We'll soon get the data
of her mobile and her moves.
OK. I'll try to cool off
Internal Affairs
after you messed up.
I regret having accepted
your detachment.
If he hears about the paternity test,
forget your career.
We'd better find the killer.
Your mother brainwashed you?
It took her 30 years
to tell me the truth.
So for the first time,
I feel like listening to her.
Clearing Séléna
means clearing her father.
He'd have been a victim
of a judicial blunder.
The murderer of Duroc and Garnier
would be the same
as Yamara Cazal,
20 years later.
It's just a hypothesis.
We'll have
a 3rd murder to solve.
What news about
the Chaîne thermale?
Garnier was to be in charge
of the security of the building.
They'd even spoken
about his contract.
A golden retirement.
And Cazal?
They confirmed they were interested
in buying up his hotel
provided the operating company
of the spa
accepted their acquisition offer.
- That's all we have?
- Yes.
No.
They asked Garnier
to join them at the casino,
but he had to go to his sister's
in La Tour-d'Auvergne.
The commissioner called me.
Thanks for coming.
I couldn't go to the morgue.
May we ask you some questions
about your brother?
Sure.
I know people disliked him.
He never hid it.
He was a good
and generous person.
Our mother was disabled.
He never told me.
I'm not surprised.
He acted tough,
but he was very modest.
He blamed me for giving up my life
to take care of her.
But I didn't want her to go
to an institution.
He came to see you
the evening he died?
No.
He was to pick up
some old files.
I put them aside.
Yamara Cazal Case
I remember this story very well.
I was a chambermaid
at La Belle Époque.
I'd even been promoted
to head chambermaid.
It was just before the trial.
Do you remember if your brother
suspected Régis Cazal
or his father for the murder?
No, I don't think so.
But Mr Régis and his sister
were very close.
Then he went to a nursing home.
If I may say so.
- Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
- Hello?
- Sophie Renard speaking.
He often spoke about you.
There's a problem?
He liked you.
He called you the Pharaoh.
Garnier underlined
those testimonies,
because he didn't believe
in the alibis of the Cazals.
The hotel employees?
The concierge and a waiter.
He knew Cazal would hit the jackpot
with the sale of the spa.
I always thought
he was a dirty cop.
I can picture him
blackmailing Cazal so well.
That's why
he incriminated my mother?
Yes.
We went to Xavier's
to search for instructions
as regards his funeral.
I fell on notebooks
that Xavier completed
after his sessions.
It's the last one.
After he saw Séléna,
the word "figurine"
was underlined twice.
Xavier kept everything.
His notes when he was
an expert at the court.
And there, the psychiatric analysis
of Hélène Dormant.
"Played with figurines
so as not to see."
A way of saying she'd caught
her father with Yamara.
Understand?
What counts is this figurine.
If he wrote it down 20 years later,
it must be important.
I'll have to keep
these notebooks.
- They might be exhibits.
- Sure.
There, I found it.
A hearing statement
of Julien Dormant.
"Hélène loved Yamara.
She played with a figurine
"that she had offered her.
"A Filipino figurine
representing Mayari.
"Yamara had told her
she looked like the Moon,
"with her fragile fair skin.
"She longed to return
to the Philippines."
Got the inventory
of the little girl's things?
No figurine.
They recorded everything.
Even her hairbands.
She's awake but the sedatives
are still acting.
But she can talk.
Recovery Room
Séléna?
I need you to relive the day
Yamara was killed.
Remember that Filipino figurine
she offered you?
Mayari.
The goddess of the moon.
Like "Séléna".
I remember.
I remember it very well.
I'd picked up a soft chewing-gum.
With that I'd made a cape
for Mayari.
I left it there.
So?
The gum is intact.
Can you get the DNA
of the owner?
It's been very well conserved.
What sample must I compare it to?
With the victims of the poisoning.
I'll call the hospital.
I examined him at La Belle Époque.
But I didn't do a blood test.
No food poisoning?
He had symptoms,
but I didn't prescribe anything.
His mother
had given him everything.
Bicarbonate and a generic drug
against arsenic.
She was a chemist
before marriage.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're welcome. Bye.
So?
We need a sample
of Régis Cazal's DNA.
I had a coffee with him
at La Belle Époque.
That's not all.
I met an expert who had inspected
the spa after the poisoning.
When he came to give Sophie Renard
his final report,
and talking about the poisoning
with arsenic trioxide,
he remembered a study
had been done in the resort
when drilling wells
had been shut down.
In one of them, they'd mentioned
deposits highly concentrated
with arsenic trioxide
in the faulty pipes.
- The Cazals owned that well.
- In the park of the hotel.
Régis Cazal,
you are taken in custody
for the murders of Duroc,
Garnier and Yamara Cazal.
- What's this joke?
- Turn around.
- Where's your mother?
- Upstairs, in her flat.
2nd floor.
Hey! No.
No! you can't do that!
Letters rogatory
have been issued by the judge.
Move on.
We found the same
at Croizat spring,
20 years old...
With your DNA on it.
It was an accident.
Yamara!
Let go of me!
- But what did you do?
- Nothing!
- You slept with him?
- No.
Yes!
No, you're mine!
Mine alone!
I threw the stone she fell on
in the water.
Then I took her to Félix spring.
I hit,
again and again,
to leave blood marks.
Then I threw her body
in the Dordogne.
I was sure
Dormant would be accused.
Dr Duroc came over to talk to you
about the figurines.
To convince me to accept
the trial to be reviewed
before prescription.
I had to protect my son.
And your interests.
By poisoning him,
you killed 2 birds with one stone.
Régis had found the vials
of arsenic trioxide
in a bin that had opened up.
We found it
in your medicine cabinet.
With the arsenic you collected
from your drilling well.
I used it as rat poison.
I mixed it with bicarbonate.
When Dr Duroc came back
in the evening after the party,
he was complaining
about the pancakes he'd eaten.
His heart didn't hold out long.
You got rid of him
by taking him to the spa,
through the galleries, discretely.
Xavier?
Xavier?
Hello?
Xavier, can you hear me?
Xavier? I can't hear a thing.
I'm hanging up.
The arsenic was a godsend so that
Garnier would suspect Irène.
He understood very quickly.
When did he start
blackmailing you?
When you released your mother.
He became much greedier.
How much?
He knew about the Dormant girl.
He raised his rates
and demanded
10 % of the transaction
with the Chaîne thermale.
I agreed to meet him
at Croizat spring
and promised to pay him cash.
I slit his throat
with my best knife.
He bled like a pig.
I'll tell you a secret:
the town has bought up the spa.
How's your shoulder?
I'm learning to paint
with my left hand.
I'll never forgive myself.
I forced you to do it.
Actually, I came to tell you...
that they've accepted to review
your father's trial.
I just got to know.
Thank you.
Fanny?
Have you seen Fanny?
I'm here, Mum.
Baby love...
Mummy's going just one week.
Be good with your gran, OK?
Hurry, you'll miss your train.
Bye.
Fanny?
Good luck for your exam.
