CLANGING
Stop, stop, stop stop! Ease up, Erwan!
You'll wear yourself out.
There. Come here. I'll show you.
We still have 5 days to go.
Have you forgotten? Come on.
Watch.
...
...
...
Should I go?
No. Leave it. I'm going.
Yes?
Hello, Florence.
Do you recognize me?
(Beat it!)
Hold on, the thing-
- Get out!
I saw your son. I'm a
banker, I can help him.
I don't want to
know. No, no, no.
OLIVIER: Please.
What're you doing here?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThis is no good.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI wanted to-

THE PRICE TO PAY
I can help you.
- No. I want you to rest.
Go on, sit down.
I'm done soon.
I promise, we won't be late.
DOOR
FOOTSTEPS
Aren't you in the middle of a competition?
Can we talk?
- Of course.
I need to borrow him for 5 minutes.
(Be right back.)
Are you OK Mom?
You've been contacted by a banker, right?
Yeah, how do you know?
To develop your space?
- Yes.
He came to see me.
- Why you?
It must stop there, Romain. Yes.
You must not see him again.
Are you kidding? This is unexpected.
I don't want you to see him again.
Can you tell me more, please?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h2022 NEO-AQUITAINE

So here it is.
Is it right, what you were looking for?
- Magnificent. What a talent!
And what poetry.
Are there others?
Florence Rougier, it's the only one.
I'll buy it from you.
It's already reserved.
How much to reserve?
CHUCKLES
I'm serious.
ANGRY CRY OF EFFORT,
CLANGING METAL
...
FIRE BRIGADE
HONKS
Captain.
- Hi there. Where's the stiff?
Hey there!
Strange face.
Hello, Captain. Lt. Desprez.
- I can see that.
I've been asked to assist you.
I hope you had a good trip.
Better than some.
What's on the menu?
- A fight gone wrong, apparently.
Apparently.
If you believe in appearances,
I can tell you how that turns out.
"Oh my god!"
Do you have witnesses?
- It's not that simple.
Do you have witnesses, or not?
- They don't agree.
Who are they?
- Over there.
Yo! Captain Marleau.
Did you see anything?
I saw someone running away from the car.
- Ah.
Uh, that's some witness.
- Yes.
And how was this 'someone'?
He was going fast.
- He?
She? They?
Were they gendered?
He doesn't know.
I saw nothing from up in the basket.
He was down below. Then...
He was looking the other way!
Captain, I'm sure of myself.
He always boasts to make himself look good.
It was 9:15.
- No, 9:30.
9:15, 9:30... We don't know.
Good.
Take their info.
You're a little emo.
I'm getting a coffee.
- Name?
Axel.
- OK. Your number?
AXEL: 06... 12...
KICKS TIRE
He had good tires. What a waste.
How are you, girls?
GRUNTS
Hey, come and see!
His face. It's all gray.
Look!
- See the bruises?
From a fight, he got injured,
resulting in asphyxiation.
Uh... the pathologist
has already been by?
Well no, I'm giving you
my impressions, Captain.
Did you do medicine?
- Two years, then I did philosophy.
Oh, yeah. What else
do you know, Inspector Aristotle?
We found no ID on him.
The car's part of a bank's motor pool.
I'm waiting to hear more.
What do we do, start a
nation-wide search? En masse!
We've already searched in
the hope of finding a phone.
You searched badly.
Don't you know the saying?
- What saying?
The saying: RECITES RHYME
- 'The apple never falls far from the tree'?
Whatever.
Look:
The suspect may have dropped it.
You have to send it to the lab.
You have no sense in your head!
For example. Watch:
"You take the hand of the dead body,
alright?"
- Mm-hmm.
"You take the finger-- okay?"
"You put on the cellular, and:
what happen?"
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMOBILE CHIMES

"And you go to the mail,
to... what you want, huh?"
Gendarmerie Nationale, Capt. Marleau!
Wait, don't come any closer.
Put on a mask or safety glasses.
The chapka doesn't protect.
But the chapka protects you from bullshit.
Although not all the time.
How are you, Darth Vader?
Are you Florence Rougier?
Why?
- For questions.
We're in the middle
of a competition:
Best Blacksmith in France.
You don't say.
Oh, yes, I see.
How are you, Tintin? Where's Snowy?
A blacksmith will
likely win this year, right?
FLORENCE: See this blade?
It needs to be 2 meters.
It has to be done Sunday.
Sunday?
Oh no no no,
Sunday I'm at the swimming pool.
It's about your phone.
My phone?
This morning! The one
who called at 7:30. He's dead.
Only one person called
me this morning. My brother.
Olivier, the son of my adoptive parents.
Condolences.
Well? How was it going
with your dead brother?
Neither good nor bad.
We hadn't seen each
other in centuries.
How many centuries?
At least 30 years.
Thirty years?
There was a big big "facherie" [quarrel]? Eh?
Oh!
If I had a hammer, I'd hit my brother.
Isn't it heavy for you?
- No, It's all right.
I wasn't talking about the hammer.
It's odd.
She doesn't see her
brother for 30 years,
he calls one morning,
she doesn't answer.
You weren't curious?
Yeah... I'm in the middle
of a competition.
Maybe he had
some annoying shit,
since he died 2 hours later.
Maybe he was in danger,
maybe he needed your help.
No no no, I don't think so.
- Why?
Ah yes,
because of the big
"vacherie" [cowshed].
I've never been angry
with my twin sister.
I must say, the DDASS
separated us immediately.
I was adopted in a month.
She... PFFT
Me too. I was adopted at 7.
By Olivier's parents.
But I left at 19, pregnant.
Really? From what and from whom?
A classmate.
A classmate? Making a
kid with a kid, that sucks.
I imagine there was a big
blow-up. Weren't you afraid?
He was my first love.
I forgot to be afraid.
We're stupid at that age.
What'd your parents say?
They wanted me to give birth as X.
(Give birth under X.)
That's not nice.
Giving birth to David Guetta
while taking E.
Not cool.
- No.
What did you do?
I left and didn't go back.
- Oh.
And the famous great love?
What became of him?
He went to the United States.
What happened was,
he didn't recognize her
but he didn't want what-
CLANG
Hold on.
CLANG
Erwan!
Erwan, come here!
Wait.
CLANG
FLORENCE: Please. Stop striking.
CLANG
FLORENCE: Please. Stop striking.
...
Wait! Erwan!
Wait, hold on.
Put it back in the fire.
What were you doing
at 9 this morning?
I was prepping the forge.
MARLEAU: Alone?
Erwan arrived at 11.
We finished late last night.
As luck would have it.
I don't believe it.
(He has a hematoma
on the right hip,
it looks like from a fall
that occurred more than
24 hours before death.)
JEAN: You have a lead, I hope?
I need to know more about your son.
Good... then...come on.
Let's not waste time.
Was he in a civil partnership? Married?
- No.
MARLEAU: He have kids?
No. But he didn't want any.
Well, neither do I.
And his adoptive sister.
He didn't miss her?
Florence. Does she know?
MARLEAU: Is that a problem?
Why'd you kick out
your adopted daughter--
not even 20, and knocked up?
It was she who didn't
want us anymore. She was
already in an apprenticeship
at the forge, but she...
brutally cut ties.
My wife took it very badly.
- Oh yeah? Where is your wife?
She's been dead for a year.
It's better. Because
she didn't have to put up with it.
This was your son's
crib for 10 days, before...
Follow me.
He always chose beautiful places.
Oh yeah? I can see that.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGo ahead.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo.
Very kind.
Ladies and gents?
I remember when we went
to see him in Dakar-
Wooo! Dakar?
What was he doing there?
After his military service,
he found a small job in a bank.
But, he wanted the good life,
he soon climbed the ladder!
Oh yeah. Colonial France
here we come!
Want to see your son's room?
Can I?
MARLEAU: No.
After the search. Maybe.
What're you doing?
Go on, mister, beat it!
Go on!
What does he want me to say?
DOG BARKING
"My son died, I'm sad."
They just have to spawn them.
(ITALIAN) What a beautiful garden!
(ITALIAN) Bright!
Yeah, the Illuminati.
How're you doing, comrade?
KNOCKS
Hi vultures, how ya doing?
Hello.
- Welcome, Captain.
Thank you!
What have you found?
Nothing, we're just
getting started.
No?
- No.
Did you look at the clothes?
- Not yet.
Mm-hmm.
These are banker shirts.
White in front, gray in back.
LAUGHS
Yeah, no- what else?
- Uh, well, this is it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGloves?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGloves. Gloves. Yeah.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHere you are.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThank you...
"Meeting..."?
What is it?
- Pajamas.
Pajamas? Two pajamas?
- Yes.
It's flannel.
See? It'd suit you.
It's a Slim. It's small for you.
Have you done the bathroom?
- No, I will.
SNIFFS
Mmmm!
What's this, aftershave? It stinks.
HAVE YOU SEEN HIS ID?
Hey look!
It was soaked. Annoying to redo it.
He doesn't really need it anymore.
You mean because he's dead?
It was a joke? Mmm...
How funny you are, mister. Ah!
Tell me what time you see.
Uh, 10:37.
Or?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h22:37.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMm-hmm.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h22:37.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's stopped, you confirm?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's stopped, you confirm?\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMaybe it's broken?\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMaybe it's broken?
Maybe he got into a fight?
At that time?
Or he forgot to
change the batteries.
Clothes are wet too.
What's this nonsense?
Look at this shirt.
A bit is missing!
The manager says one evening
he went for a walk by the river,
came back soaking wet.
When was that?
Day before
yesterday, Monday.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHmmm.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd completely drunk.
Drunk? You should write poetry.
You have a vocabulary.
And his computer?
Next door.
- What's in it?
I don't know.
- Didn't you look?
Go look!
- I'm going.
So go!
Unbelievable!
What did you take at the academy?
(Stupid, gendarmes don't go to school.)
Hello. Hello.
How you doing,
Columbo?
Go get me a hot meal. Scram!
Why'd you let him in?
He wasn't called.
Terrible.
Where were we already? Oh yeah.
MARLEAU: Where are you?
- Here!
Ah.
So, what gives?
Show me.
MARLEAU: 'Romain Rougier.'
MARLEAU: He's not-
DESPREZ: Florence. Florence Rougier.
MARLEAU: Oh yeah...
ROMAIN: That's it! Very good,
straighten the hip!
Do like I showed you,
you want to end with the attack.
Yeah, that's not bad!
Strike with the knee!
Very good! Yes!
Come on, we'll speed up a little.
ROMAIN: Turn! To me! Turn! To me!
You look stupid. Move.
No no no!
What're you doing?
You said attack, I attacked.
We don't do that. Look.
- Uh, I'm looking.
Do we know each other?
No. Captain Marleau,
Gendarmerie Nationale.
- I've been waiting for you for 10 days!
I'm not the Messiah, I'm a bit late.
About the €3,000 I had stolen.
- Huh?
Anything new to tell me?
- What €3,000?
Come on, let's talk about it.
Hold on.
Go ahead, keep going!
- GO AHEAD, KEEP GOING!
WE'RE GOING!
ROMAIN: INAUDIBLE
OFFICE ON THE RIGHT,
SHOWERS ON THE LEFT!
You can sit here.
- YOU CAN SIT HERE!
Not bad, learning the
broads to defend themselves.
It's good, extenuating circumstances.
I need it?
- There's someone who died.
Who?
Olivier Garcin, you know him?
Yes. The banker?
- Yeah.
You've seen him recently, haven't you?
He called me. He was
interested in this place.
Was that weird?
It's the only one in the area.
Anywhere. It was understandable.
True that it's understandable--
a banker with solidarity,
empathy, and interested:
solidarity isn't exactly the values of
the International Monetary Fund, right?
You didn't ask me how he died.
I didn't have time.
MARLEAU: Neither did he.
Because he's dead. Whacked.
Doesn't that shock you?
- I didn't say he's actually a friend.
MARLEAU: No, he wasn't
your friend, it's true.
Since he was your uncle.
STRAINS
My mom told me later.
- Really?
But...
But... how did she know? She knew...
your uncle wanted to transform
your dojo into a multinational.
ROMAIN: Well, yes.
- Really?
She saw him?
At the forge.
Your mother, she's a
real WHISTLES Pinocchia.
I’ll stay for the investigation,
it's more convenient.
CLERK: Fine, sir.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPHONE RINGS

Oh. Florence.
The gendarmes told me
I could find you here.
Are you OK Jean?
- Yes, I'm fine. I'll be OK.
140 over 90.
CHRISTINE: That's better.
CHRISTINE: Your heartbeat is normal.
- Thank you.
I saw Olivier just now.
Yes. Yes, yes,
of course, I'm sorry.
Uh,
what's he called now, your son?
Romain.
- Oh, yes. Okay.
Another one that mustn't
forget their Latin.
Is he married?
Yes. They're expecting a child.
Do you have someone?
No.
- Olivier, he was the same.
His job was his life, and then...
But he was appreciated,
because he helped young people
get started. Did he tell you about that?
No.
You haven't seen each other?
- No.
Me neither. I'm all alone.
I prescribed you something for anxiety.
You must stay calm.
Would it be possible
to have a glass of water, please?
Of course, sir.
Thanks for coming so quickly.
It was strange though,
to see your father like that?
- Why strange?
Uh... I don't know.
Your brother; the poor man...
It wasn't a great love with him.
What do you mean?
Nothing. Forget it.
I don't know
what you thought.
I'm going. I'm
expected at the office.
Yes...
SIREN
MARLEAU: Pretty, huh?
The Klein gray, it
makes you look good.
Hey?
Mama Rougier hasn't said so:
her brother came to
see her at the forge.
Know what that's called?
- Lie by omission.
No...
it's called lying by omission.
Is holding over there?
DESPREZ: That's right.
- It stinks.
It wasn't nice of her.
- No.
It's legally reprehensible
and philosophically reprehensible,
according to Kant.
"Kant"? Arrests are heads or tails.
If it's tails I lock them up.
Is this my office?
- Yes, that's right.
I don't like the decor.
Where do I sleep?
In the corner. We'll
bring you a bed.
I need solid.
Exactly. I need solid too.
MARLEAU: About time!
When do I get my nap?
Comrades! Capt. Marleau.
I'm sleeping on that?
- Yes.
Nice crib.
SIREN
Well?
You call this solid?
DESPREZ: Yes, I have a solid one.
Florence Rougier is friends with
Christine de Menneval,
the town doctor,
they've known each other since
she came here when she was 19.
And Christine's brother Daniel
is her boyfriend-
but that's just a rumor.
- Ah.
FLORENCE: I didn't hear you come in.
I was hoping to surprise you.
I brought you dinner.
Oh my!
I thought you'd like it.
Let me take care of you.
That was nice, but
it wasn't necessary.
All the same, a brother
who reappears, who dies.
A father to console;
your competition-- it's a lot.
Mmm.
- Let me help you, come on.
There!
Oh my!
LAUGHS
It's beautiful!
LAUGHS
SIGHS
SIGHS
I have to shower.
OK. I'll make the tagine.
Preserved lemons and
olives, your favorite.
Do you want wine?
FLORENCE: Yes.
KNOCKS
Knock knock! Are we interrupting?
Good evening!
This time it isn't a search.
This is a moment of truth:
to strike while the iron is hot.
LAUGHS
Ah!
'evening.
Good evening.
Who're you?
Daniel de Menneval.
Ah! Like the rumor?
Excuse me?
- No, nothing.
Can the rumor run along?
We must speak with Ms. Rougier,
even if she's not from Lille.
Get it?
'Rougier de Lisle'?
Thank you, sir.
A candlelit dinner?
I'll step in, I'm starving.
Did you make it?
- No, Daniel prepared everything.
Ah... a ring on the finger soon?
- No. We're not there yet.
MARLEAU: But the rabbit
there looks hot, eh?
Ah.
NOODLING ON PIANO
Do we stop faking it?
NOODLING ON PIANO
...
Why'd you lie to me, you big liar?
...
You didn't tell me you
had seen your brother again.
You even talked to him.

Combine time.

NOODLING
And what...
were we talking about with a brother,
we haven't seen in 30 years? Huh?
METRONOME TICKING
Two, three. Two, three. Two, three. Two, three.
Don't you want to answer me?

NOODLING
Remember anything more?
If that's all, that's OK,
at the Gendarmerie we
have an Alzheimer's Department.
We have to, since they
cut all the hospital beds.
We have a memory-refresh service,
in custody.
Tempted? It's monastic, it's nice-
- Please leave me alone.
You came this morning, you
come back tonight.
I've had a day's work on my feet.
As long as it's on your feet.
If you're knackered,
I'll ask your apprentice.
He was there, huh?
You don't want to?
You don't want to say what you
spoke to your brother about?
I told him to get the hell out.
You OK with that?
'Get the hell out'?
Well, why? What was the beef?
Huh?
It's got nothing to do with it!
Hey, this knows your story doesn't hold up.
You don't see him for 30 years,
he shows up,
he calls you at 7 am
and you don't answer.
Why didn't you answer? Huh?
And why did you lie to me?
Are my questions getting to you?
'Why'm I alive? Why'm I dying?
Laughing? Crying?'
Why'd you give him
a hard time for 30 years?
What did your brother do to you?
He raped me.
Now stop pissing me off.
♪
Why didn't you turn in
your pig of a brother?
Afraid I'll think "My god,
she had a motive for killing him"?
Would you shut this down?
We don't get along.
I have no hidden motive.
Or anything to hide for that matter.
I'm not forcing you to speak.
Forcing an assault victim to speak,
that's the second crime.
But now the attacked is the aggressor,
and he was murdered. So I'm listening.
I broke with him right after. I was 19.
I even took my biological mother's name.
Then I had my adult life to build.
With a child.
Everything had to be buried.
- ("Voila.")
Bury everything, bury everything.
Bury rape too?
Have you told anyone? Your boyfriend?
Your best friend there?
Christine?
- Yes.
What would be the point?
- To "piss on the jackal," as they say
in the Nonviolent
Communication Association.
What about your son?
Did you tell him?
How could I tell him something like that?
I don't know.
- Hmm.
With your words. With your silences.
He'd wind up understanding.
Starting from the beginning,
for example with your brother.
How was he? What was he like?
He was great.
- Ah.
A protector.
- Yes!
Funny.
A big brother.
You trusted him?
- Yes. As a teenager, I...
just didn't see his
developing feelings for me.
You call it 'feelings'? Ah yes...
And his feelings began to escalate
when you got knocked up?
Precisely. The night I...
when I told him I was pregnant,
I was happy. Proud even.
But he was in a daze.
I didn't recognize him.
And he had...
for me... That's all.
- He had what for you? Tell me.
'My brother raped me,' it's called incest.
You're not the one who should be ashamed!
That's crazy!
What did your parents say?
Did you tell them?
What would that have got me?
The damage was done. Anyway,
they wouldn't have believed me.
I wasn't blood.
They had a good image of their son.
Their dead son. A good image.
Viril. Masculine. Macho.
Like your sword.
It'd make a great weapon for a crime-
Please don't touch it!
Does it cut friendship?
Nice of you to tell me.
Good night, comrade.
- You're not arresting me?
Have you seen the time?
I'm exhausted.
And you're not taking off
before your contest.
MARLEAU: How much longer?
- Sunday. At the latest.
MARLEAU: At the latest.
By Sunday I'll find someone
who could've whacked your rapist,
to protect you, for revenge,
"whatever," like that.
Here we go, good night.
- Good night.
Oh...
obviously, all of this is void
if the culprit is you, Darth Vader.
(GERMAN) Good night.
The apprentice's gloves.
To compare fingerprints
with those from the crime scene.
OK, you get a treat.
You endorse where I'm going?
- I don't know. Let me see.
Looking good. Like a cowboy!
(Still, it's weird.
Everyone wants to protect her.)
While she's the "big boss." Weird, right?
Yes. Weird.
- Mmm.
DESPREZ: But why not?
MARLEAU: As Platanov would say.
Plato.
- Same thing.
I preferred The Deer Hunter.
HONKS
Outta the way!
What a bunch of stiffs!
ART SHIPPING
Leave the big one in the middle.
The buyer will pick it up.
Sir.
- Yes?
Hello?
Oh! Hiroshima, Mon Amour.
Captain!
You didn’t sell them?
They’re the two least worst.
You have good taste but, no way.
It used to mean rape!
CHUCKLES
It's not funny.
Why're you giving me the big eyes?
Hmm...
Because I nixed your
candlelit dinner with Florence?
It's mostly her night that you've nixed.
Now is not the time.
- Oh. Well- yes. For you.
Because Ms. Florence attracts trouble.
Making you her little helper knight, right?
How is it your business?
- Everything is my business.
And when you look at it: all troubles.
Helper knight.
How far would he go, this helper knight,
if Lady Florence were in danger?
- What kind of danger?
Well, dangerous danger.
HE SCOFFS
Yesterday morning, 9:15 to 9:30,
where were you?
Uh, here at the mansion.
I was doing administrative work.
Mmm! Alone?
CLOCK CHIMES
Alone.
- (SPANISH) Me too.
Alone, single.
Can I touch? The arm?
We need arms at the
Gendarmerie for a line-up.
What do you say?
- Excuse me?
(Come on.)
I'm parked there.
CAR APPROACHING
Who's that?
I recognize you!
The self-defense course!
- You're the gendarme, right?
Are you the knight's sister?
It's good to know self-defense.
Especially between a brother and
sister, you never know what can happen,
she has to swallow her shame--
huh, Marguerite & Julien? Come on.
- Where are you going?
The captain's taking me to
the Gendarmerie for a line-up.
What!?
- Oh yeah! Someone saw someone else
get rid of Mr. Garcin's car.
- Why Daniel?
He might be good "casting."
He didn't know him!
I'll be okay,
I have nothing to do with it.
At least it'll be cleared up.
- Hmm. Okay, let's go.
This is nonsense!
Hi Betty!
(ITALIAN) Let's get started!
Well?
Some good samples here.
It's none of these guys.
Are you sure it was a guy?
AXEL: Of course, there's no doubt.
My colleague in the basket
couldn't see anything.
He was putting up a cable.
Your sister is admired.
- They're right,
it's absurd.
- Uh...
As long as I'm not wrong, I'm right.
Who's older?
- Well, I am.
At any rate,
your sister protects you,
you're protecting Ms. Florence.
Who is Ms. Florence protecting?
- You're wasting your time.
Good day.
Bad news: your fingerprints match.
What?
- Romain Rougier, know him?
What do you want?
The €3,000 stolen from his dojo.
And?
- It was your prints
on his desk. You have a locker there.
Your boss trusts you and you
steal from her son?
It wasn't really stealing,
I'll pay it back.
It was to buy the greenhouse.
My father's struggling,
I wanted to help him.
Do you know the saying,
"In great poverty does not
lie great loyalty"?
Are you gonna bust me?
- Come with me,
sign a confession. Then we'll see.
OK, I'll go with you, but
I'm the one who'll tell Ms. Rougier, OK?
Let's go.
There's also a philosopher
for whom loyalty is
always conducting oneself
honestly with regard to others.
Does that mean yes?
- What do you think?
Nice steel.
- From 1055.
It's okay, given the length.
For flexibility.
How will the blade be treated?
Well, let's say it depends on
how much time I have.
What weight do you think?
- 2 kilos.
Light for its size.
- Yes, but with the gutters...
How many will you do?
- Two, two per side.
All right.
I'll be right back.
I know I messed up, OK?
- What did you take?
What were you thinking
when you stole from my son?
I have to help my father.
- Romain works like crazy!
He set up his company by himself,
€3,000 is a lot for him.
Let me come and help you-
- No!
I don't want to see you anymore, huh?
Get out, now.
"Ciao."
Ah, well I don't have a striker anymore.
Hold on, you won't be ready by Sunday.
I'm capable.
- Yes, but- what about your endurance?
I've prepared for this ordeal for weeks,
I'm going all the way to the end.
I believe in you, Ms. Rougier.
But I can't give you a free pass.
If the sword shatters due
to lack of preparation-
MOBILE RINGS
Excuse me, I have to take this.
Hello? Yes, Daniel- yes?
ROMAIN: If I put more weight in back,
move forward, pull my arm back-
Be right back.
(Come.)
I know about Erwan.
What a bastard!
I told you he was strange!
But you still look for
the good side of people.
I didn't come to talk about Erwan.
There's something new in
the investigation of Olivier's death.
A witness saw the
murderer fleeing in his car.
And?
Daniel was summoned for an identification.
What?
I'm summoned to the Gendarmerie tomorrow.
Yes. Well there you have it,
it must be for the same thing.
And... you've thought about
what I told you happened
between him and me?
Is that why you're here?
Are you having doubts?
I didn't do anything to him.
I'm going to be a dad, that's
all that matters.
Excuse me, I'm busy.
Now then, The Caryatids,
episode 57, season 12.
SYRUPY MUSIC
MAN AND WOMAN TALKING
I missed four episodes! Explain!
Do you want to marry me?
- Oh Maxime!
Cyril and Maxime are getting married?
I'm never told anything!
STATION PA
METAL CLINKING
Someone there?
It's just me.
What are you doing here? Wasn't I clear?
- Yes.
But you won't succeed alone.
Let me help you go all the way.
And don't pay me, I don't care.
Then I'll disappear.
(Okay.)
CROSSTALK
What's going on?
...
Hello.
- Hello, uh...
Are you waiting for Romain Rougier?
- Yes, usually he's here already.
He didn't say he'd be absent?
- No, nothing, is there a problem?
Excuse me.
Captain? He didn't show up at the dojo.
No.
Yes, understood.
- Sir, please?
Are you here for Romain?
- Yes. You are?
His wife. He didn't come back last night
and hasn't picked up his phone.
Do you know anything?
No.
Wha- you're still here?
Ah, you giving him a second chance?
It's good for your contest, eh?
CHUCKLES
Can we talk for a couple minutes? There?
It's about your son. I summoned him,
he didn't come, his phone
is out of service,
his wife doesn't know where he is--
even Mr. Garcin has no news.
How would he,
they don't know each other!
You don't care, so screw me?
Maybe you haven't been frank
with your son about the rape, huh?
Evidently, my homegirl.
Tell me where your son is,
otherwise it's going to be
really bad for him.
He's past the age where he has to tell me
where he goes and with whom.
Too bad.
You don't want him to know the truth?
Anyway, he'll eventually be caught,
the defender of the beautiful
orphan. But I'm not gonna
declare a national emergency
over the Jean Valjean
of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
My name's not Javert.
And even less Malkovich-
Misérable as I am.
KNOCKS
Ah-
you liked coming here when you were little.
The gendarme came to see you?
- Mmm.
There's no point in running.
It'll be held against you.
Romain-
I don't know exactly what happened
between you and him-
- (I didn't do anything!)
- So why are you hiding?
She looks strange,
But she's good on the inside.
You better stay calm and cooperate.
OK?
I didn't want to kill him.
I never should have told you.
Yes! I rather you did. You had to tell me.
Rather than keep lying.
I can't surrender.
And Nora and the baby?
What'll happen to them?
Can you imagine them visiting me in prison?
Anyway, it's too late.
What do you mean?
- Yes.
Don't tell me she's with you.
Yes. She's waiting for me
at the manor entrance.
No! No, no, don't go!
I convinced her to let me talk to you,
that it would go smoothly.
(You didn't want to kill him.)
Everyone will understand, you'll see.
♪ Ahhh! Eeee! ♪
Oh, it's the tire.
Make up your mind?
- It's fine. I'll go with you.
I promised your mother
to not put the bracelets on you,
so don't be a dick, OK?
Yeah, get in. You'll see Montmartre.
Kids, huh!
(Let's go.)
And put on your belt, huh?
Don't want to have another accident.
Florence! Wait!
Florence!
WAIT!
Romain was just taken in by Marleau,
for Olivier's murder.
- Why would he have done that?
I have to help him defend himself.
Help me find a lawyer.
Of course, I'll take care of it.
Come back with me.
No, I want to be at home.
Florence, talk to me. I feel like I've
missed part of the story.
There's nothing to understand.
- Don't you want to explain it to me?
It's better we stop.
- What do you mean?
Sometimes you want me,
but you don't need me.
Better to stop.
I'll find a lawyer for your son.
Come on, move.
How long have you been doing
your militant feminist thing?
There was no man in my home,
just guys passing through.
I had to be to protect my mother.
A protector? More like a pimp.
She can take care of herself.
Take him to the line-up. Go on, shoo!
Stop thinking so much about chicks!
MUTTERING
Wooo, cold in here! Want coffee?
Well, there's more.
There you go. Here, a treat.
So talk.
Why'd you run off in his car?
Your mother told you
what he did to her?
It was gnawing at me.
One morning, I wanted to see him.
Many thanks.
Mr. Rougier!
Is it me you've been waiting for?
I'm glad to see you.
You've thought about my proposal?
Can we talk about it?
- Uh- if you want,
I have a meeting with
regional management, but-
I can drop you somewhere.
- All right.
It would be informal.
Do you have new requests?
There's still time.
I'll present your file at the local branch-
COUGHS
Excuse me.
I sincerely believe in your abilities-
- Why do you want to help me?
So my mother will know?
What did she tell you?
- She said I'm your nephew.
Right. Listen, we were kids.
And I was stupid.
Yeah? It was all just a lie!
- I wanted to apologize!
She wouldn't hear it!
She fired me without
letting me get a word in!
I need some fresh air.
COUGHS
There's a thing you don't know.
I loved your mother!
When you love you rape?
What are you saying?
Who're you going to rape now, huh?
Who're you going to rape?
He began to convulse.
He even vomited water.
There was nothing on his clothes.
- No, it was water.
It looked like water.
GARCIN SUFFOCATING
Come here!
Then he dropped dead.
I checked, he had no pulse.
MARLEAU: Then?
- I panicked. I took off.
Hold this. Don't drink it.
Or spit in it.
You're sure?
You sure he was throwing up water?
Not whisky- Ricard or "whatever"? OK.
What's going on?
- I don't know.
Which one is his phone?
Heigh-ho.
Yeah! Doc, it's Marleau.
We're such losers.
We've been wrong from the start.
Before buying the farm, he threw up water.
And he went all soft and gray.
We've gotta do another autopsy.
The whole thing.
You're right to doubt the
circumstances of his death, Captain.
You know the best part?
Garcin drowned.
Drowned? By the side of
the road? On asphalt?
You're a funny guy. You
watch too much Video Gag.
He drowned in two stages-
are you listening?
- Yeah, yeah.
First he throws up
the water he took in-- all right?
Second, his windpipe closed,
due to spasms caused by
the presence of water.
Got it? You follow?
Okay... That's crazy.
So he went into cardiac arrest.
- Precisely.
Provoked by respiratory distress.
All right. So this idiot didn't
realize he was drowning.
No. But all the symptoms
you reported to me
point in that direction.
- "Okay."
The one who told me about this
is the bartender at the hotel
where he was staying.
He said Monday night
he saw him show up drunk,
wet from head to toe after
walking I don't know where.
And his watch was broken.
It stopped at 10:37 pm.
So he drowned at that time.
A doctor could have evacuated
the water from his lungs.
Doctors, they're important.
- You're not wrong.
That means for two days,
he was undead.
So he was a zombie sentinel?
That's the word: 'undead.'
Lastly, it doesn't look
absolutely like murder.
Maybe he drowned on his own.
In a foot of water?
Are you feeling all alright?
Someone must've...
given him a push, if I may say so?
"Sayonara." Maybe you'll
go back to your dojo?
Why? What for?
- We have new developments:
What kind of developments?
- Developments.
But new.
What the hell were you doing
Monday night, let's say between
about 8 and 11 pm?
- Monday?
I was with my wife.
We had drinks with friends.
(With friends.)
You're going to write them down
on this paper as follows:
surname, first name, date of vaccination.
Warning: I'll check this alibi.
And if you don't pass
you 'pass away.'
At least let Nora know,
tell her I'm coming home.
MARLEAU: Who said she
wants you to come back?
KNOCKS
Olivier!
Give me that.
(German) Thank you! There you go.
Doors closing.
(Fuck!)
They made a fool of you.
We have to start over.
Doors opening. Third floor.
Hey hey hey, stop everything!
We're starting from scratch--
their alibis, their schedules, and
above all, (keep our traps shut.
No one needs to know. Okay?)
(We keep our stories
straight, "understand"?)
Why?
- Why? Because a criminal is out there
who doesn't even know he's guilty!
Nice, right?
MOBILE RINGING, VIBRATING
Huh? I fell asleep?
...
What's that?
It's Romain.
Hello, Romain? Yes?
What do you mean, 'you're free'?
But- why'd she change her mind?
You don't know?
Right, I'm coming to see you, OK?
No, sorry, but I'm tired.
I'll be at home.
She told me about new developments,
involving Monday night.
'New developments about Monday night'?
What is she looking for?
What does it have to do with
his death on Wednesday morning?
Anyway, good that Romain is free.
I have to make up my lost day.
You're amazing.
- What?
You always bounce back.
Where're you going?
- To get the forge ready.
First you have to put your feet up.
I'll make you dinner,
and you'll sleep here.
If you insist, I'll
sleep in the living room.
If you insist.
LAUGHS
Ah, yes.
- If you insist.
Tired.
HONKS
"Stop," Gendarmerie!
See if he's seen the guy in the picture.
Hurry up!
Are you coming back?
I'm not gonna be doing
this job alone, huh?.
Well what does he say?
- He was there Monday at 10:30 pm
but he didn't see Olivier.
- That sucks. Shiiiiit.
Are you coming? I'm not going alone.
He tears through here.
Well then, in your opinion,
who the hell thinks he’s sitting pretty
because he has an alibi for Wednesday,
when he needs one for Monday?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don't know.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou don't know?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou don't know? Me neither.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don't know. No.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou go look...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou go look...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou go look... there.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I'm gonna dig...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAlright.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I'm gonna dig...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAlright.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I'm gonna dig... there.
Maybe there's something there.
This is a Jansenist tree.
It's branches go into the air.
This isn't a Jesuit tree.
Hmm? Hey, look at this.
What?
What game are we playing?
If we put that in a movie no one
would believe it. Wait...
"Wait..."
What is this thing?
Ah! Look familiar?
- Yes.
A piece of cloth from?
- Olivier's shirt.
Ah, well done!
What're you doing?
We need to secure the perimeter, Captain.
Well done.
- Pascal?
Yes. We need casts made
of some impressions.
Send us a team at the old bridge.
Right away.
Thanks. Yes.
Well, you don't need me anymore.
- Uh, no!
Don't leave, Captain-
'Man is an animal that needs a master.'
Last lesson, then I'm outta here:
'Neither god nor master.'
We don't do that.
SNIFFS, COUGHS
SNIFFS
(What stinks?)
Ugh!
Hey!
Gotta change the water of
these fake flowers. It stinks.
Where're they from?
Good morning, Captain.
From the hotel where Garcin was staying.
It got his attention, he didn’t
know what to do. Coffee?
MARLEAU: Yes. I slept badly. My hip hurts.
MARLEAU: Hold on; sweet!
Let's see if the rose had arthritis.
There you go-- I knew it. Look:
It's signed 'Florence Rougier.'
That's crazy. What's wrong with this?
Who bought them?
Um, Olivier Garcin?
- Well done.
And who necessarily sold them?
- Daniel de Menneval.
Who organized the exhibition.
I saw the picture on the poster.
I ain't stupid.
And the restoration of the stables?
- I asked for help from the Region.
What's your part of the deal?
- Opening to the public,
at least 40 days in July,
August, and September.
The ideal time for concerts.
That's too much.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello.
What do you think?
- Ah, the stables?
I don't know. I have to go.
You're in no place to lecture me,
she always does too much.
Wha- who? You talking about me?
Not even. A coffee to make up for it?
Oh no, I wouldn't want to
disturb such a nice three-way.
Stop fantasizing, Captain.
- Certainly not!
Fantasies are all I have left.
You coming, Mr. Daniel?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe cop house.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe cop house.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAgain?
Why do you persist?
- He was naughty!
He didn't mention he had sold
a sculpture to Mr. Garcin.
What's more, a sculpture
of yours, Ms. Florence.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
It means you knew the victim-- right,
Mr. Know-it-all Say-nothing?
Yeah yeah, come on, move.
('cause I say so.)
- Christine! (Christine; come here.)
Did you see him too?
- No.
You knew he was in the area
and sent him the flowers?
Yes.
And you didn't tell me?
- We were going to.
You didn't ask if I
agreed to sell to him?
We thought his death, the father's
return, the competition, were too much.
You treat me like an infant.
- Not at all.
Stop thinking for me.
Deciding for me. This is
my story, not yours.
Florence, we messed up, but it's not-
- If that's a reason.
I wonder what other shenanigans you pulled.
Did you get rid of Olivier?
He bothered you, didn't he?
PFFFT
Disgusting.
DANIEL: He only wanted Florence's work...
I thought it was weird.
When he saw the bouquet, he froze.
The he started making a fuss:
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'Mastery,' 'elegance,'
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'poetry.' Everything.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'Mastery,' 'elegance,'
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMmm.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'poetry.' Everything.
You thought Florence had been there too?
CHUCKLES
You were jealous!
She's your Venus, right?
Not at all.
Intrigued, rather. I wondered
who was this guy.
Later, he wanted to buy it.
I said I already had an offer. He insisted.
He even begged.
He outbid. It was getting really awkward.
Uh-huh.
So you didn't know that this guy-
- No.
Christine told me about it
when I mentioned his name.
I hadn't realized.
- That Florence already knew him?
Huh?
In addition, the lover got all melty
in front of you! The balls!
FORCED LAUGH
Right.
You asked your sister:
What is he, what does he have, who is he.
And you decided to do what?
Nothing.
What do you mean, 'nothing'?
Despite the beef between
Florence and her brother?
Florence just explained... the past.
The past?
Oh: the rape!
Say it! 'Rape.' Don't be afraid.
Call a cat a cat.
It's not the word that's vulgar.
(It's the silence. 'Sssh!')
(So you didn't know? But if you had,
what would you have done?) Hmm?
No answer?
You'd rather stay in custody? You got it.
Dominic!
I don't care. All I need is my coffee.
Take him into custody. Move it.
And whatever he tells you, you tell me.
Knucklehead.
What are you doing?
A thesis about violence
against women in policing?
Just as exciting.
At 9:30 the night of the drowning,
Olivier Garcin used the
menu at his hotel bar.
Ah.
- And not just a little.
The same evening, guess who he called?
Uh, hold on. Her father?
Been here long ?
Yeah... I wanted to see your home.
This is my forge.
And you can do things like this now?
A spear, it's tough, huh!
Because little-
- Well yes, I haven't changed.
I was wondering...
how is it that you hadn't seen each other,
Olivier and you?
It's not a big village.
I work a lot. And there's the contest,
there's that.
- That's not it. Why are you here?
Why are you?
Why did you come back?
Now. Why?
Hi.
I was dead on my feet, I slept in.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight, I have to go.
Did you work late?
- I did what I could,
I hope it's okay.
Yes, you did a good job. The hilt?
It has its final size.
We only have 2 days left.
We're going to do the guard,
the handle, and the pommeau.
Go make yourself a coffee,
let's get started.
He drank, yes. But not alone.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere was a\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA woman?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwoman with him.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes, the doc who
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlives at the manor.
They left late?
I'd say... a little before 10 pm.
Him first. He looked strange.
(Okay.)
Captain?
I have info for you. It's solid.
Why did you call me?
What are we doing here?
I wanted us to be alone.
Uh, you wanted to talk to me, about Olivier?
Don't say otherwise. That's why
you came to the forge.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn fact,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn fact, you knew he raped me.
Right?
He told me what he'd done.
When?
When'd he tell you?
- Thirty years ago.
You knew?
All this time, you knew?
And you didn't do anything?
He rapes me and you don't say anything?
No one punishes him. Me, yes.
Nevertheless, I was the victim. Hmm?
The rapist stayed with loving parents.
Surrounded, pampered, protected.
I was just the adopted one.
Listen, uh, he's dead now.
So I want to beg your
forgiveness about him,
forgive me.
Yikes.
Oh! Did you ever think
he was Romain's father?
No, you see,
no, we're not of your blood!
That's great!
Florence, wait!
You should have died.
Did... you see him again? What happened?
Doors opening. Third floor.
I have an appointment with Capt. Marleau.
- Very well, wait here.
MARLEAU: Ho!
How are you, Doc Christine?
Did you catch something?
Are you overworked? Let me look.
You've got a fever.
Sit.
TUTS
We need to talk. I made a boo-boo,
I shouldn't have said
in front of Ms. Florence that
her brother bought her sculpture.
That must've fucked up some shit.
Yes, I don't know how to repair it.
War's been declared between you two?
What is Florence to you?
Florence is my friend. She's like a sister.
- Oh yeah?
But how is she your friend exactly, hmm?
To the point of going to see her admirer
in the bar of his hotel?
Mr. Garcin?
Are you Olivier Garcin?
And you? Who are you?
A friend of Florence.
Did she tell you about me?
- Not really.
The same.
He's had enough.
I can serve him water.
Hey, it's OK.
No no, I know my limits!
And the lady asks that you serve me.
- Very well, sir.
What did you come here for?
Ah, that's none of your business. And...
you wouldn't understand.
Maybe I can.
Have you seen each other again?
I- I dreamed of this day so much.
I was worried about Florence.
I knew she had a brother,
but she refused to mention him.
Why was he here? What did he want?
- Why not ask Florence?
I wanted to investigate first.
- The dirty scoundrel.
It's been years.
Since she left,
I feel like I'm missing someone.
Why did you never marry?
- Who to?
The feeling of fitting together perfectly,
I never found that again.
We were like that.
You were kids.
- So what?
You told her that you missed her?
She doesn't want to listen to me!
CHRISTINE: Why?
Because-
because I- I'm shit, there!
But I-
- What do you mean?
I- I loved her too much.
But- it was so long ago.
I should throw in the towel, right?
You know what I mean.
When I throw in the towel,
it always leaves traces.
When he said he loved her
too much, what'd he mean?
Do you know?
- Maybe
an incestuous relationship, I don't know.
Florence didn't talk about the past.
But she had recovered.
When she was younger, she
was already a rock.
If I get transferred here,
it's for her, you'll see.
Yes; she'll eventually accept me.
Yes.
And then- hey,
I- I can help her son too, huh?
It's ballsy to want to set up
your own small business,
especially when there's a baby coming.
No no- he deserves a little one.
Are you hoping to reconnect?
- Well...
don't worry. I'll do this gently.
I'm going to see her,
and I'm going to- ah...
Don't worry. Thank you.
It would be better to not let him drive.
You're right.
Goodbye.
MARLEAU: Where did he go?
I don't know, he left so quickly.
MARLEAU: Alright... And after that?
- Then I went home.
Straight home?
CHRISTINE: Yes.
Alright. Good.
Comrades!
All right, you can bring him in.
Would you like to see your big brother?
Uh-huh. Why?
(Like this. Look how beautiful he is.)
Come in, Mr. Daniel!
Loo-ook!
Who came to give you a kiss?
Are you pleased?
Huh? No?
Sit down; have a seat;
make yourself at home.
There!
Beautiful-- the Holy Family reunited.
(What a perfect understanding.)
A normal understanding, common in families.
The family-- I'm sensing something.
But yours has a new member-
if I may say so.
Ms. Florence. You both
love her, Ms. Florence.
Even if that were true,
what's the problem?
'Who mentioned love?', said Jealousy.
'Who said friendship?', said Solidarity.
And 'Who said danger?', said-
Mr. Garcin, it so happens!
What danger?
- He told you Florence was
the woman of his life!
- He was drunk.
When was this?
- She didn't tell you?
Your sister didn't tell you
she probed your rival?
In an honorable and correct way.
To see
if your relationship was threatened.
With Florence, not your sister.
What a funny plan, Captain.
- Three-way plans?
Or four-way plans?
(What came over you?)
The guy was disturbing. I was scared.
Scared for me?
- No, for her!
She didn't ask you to!
Atmosphere!
Well, well, well, well...
Fine, fine, fine, fine.
Well, Mr. Daniel: you're free.
You can go.
You can meet up downstairs, please.
MARLEAU: Hide your joy!
MARLEAU: Not even a thank you.
Your brother's rude.
MARLEAU: So long, doctor!
SIREN
SIREN
You let them go?
- They agree on nothing.
Can you see them bumping
someone off? Impossible.
Okay.
- Alright. Is this for me? How nice.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGood morning!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGood morning, Margot.

Mr. Garcin!
Have you found
the bastard who killed my son?
No, but it won't be long.
Can I pay back that drink with a drink?
Hello, Gendarmerie!
Give us 2 minutes, please.
You too. Come on, "rasch"!
Can I help you question him?
The "fake news" channel here,
we learn to spot them.
It's not just "fake news" we're looking for.
Bring us a Château-la-pompe
from the wine cellar.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOf course.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto like him!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOf course.
A little pick-me-up, Mr. Garcin?
Well... Mr. Garcin!
Monday.
Your son. Did he call you?
Yes.
MARLEAU: "Yeah."
What was he like?
What did he tell you about?
He was lost. He was bad,
very bad. It was
a sort of cry for help.
He told you that he'd just seen his sister?
No.
- No? That's odd.
He didn't tell you?
And what did you think about him
coming to live here?
Completely against it.
No, but... after Dakar, uh,
living here, in this part of the world,
simply because Florence lives here?
What was he looking for?
Maybe his sister?
Your daughter had
reasons to blame him, right?
Where is all this leading us?
To the fact that maybe she
wanted to tear him a new one.
Absurd.
- Not at all.
The autopsy says that the injuries on
your son's body are from that evening.
Actually... that night I had an altercation
with my son.
Oh, you left that out.
Which means,
the altercation was
right after he called you.
He needed someone.
So, I suggested we see each other,
at the old bridge.
A date there, it's good for a booty call.
Not for a father and son, no?
Given his condition,
I rather he'd avoid his hotel,
to prevent any issues.
What state was he in?
- He was dead drunk--
unbearable. He claimed he was going to
win back Florence,
that no one could stop him.
So you're saying he
believed he could do it.
Yes, that's exactly what I thought.
After what he did to her...
What do you mean?
'After what he did to her'?
No, but...
- You knew about the rape?
Unfortunately... I'm his father.
He's my son.
Despite my shame,
I protected him.
- Oh yeah?
And your daughter: did you protect her?
Oh no, huh? 'Be quiet", "Ssssh!"
Above all you need to shut her mouth.
She could tell people!
Accomplices! Fuck, it disgusts me.
Keep going. There was
an altercation, over what?
I didn't think he could
still ruin Florence's life.
So I yelled at him, and
Olivier threw himself at me.
He fell into the river.
But there was no water.
So he got injured on a rock.
On a rock. And then he got up.
- No no no!
No, I disagree. He couldn't get up.
But I was there.
- You were in trouble!
It wasn't just him who was in trouble.
Beat it!
He's really starting
to grow on me, that one.
What you say is impossible.
The autopsy says your son
drowned that night.
So you just confessed,
since you were there.
You're mistaken-- completely.
- Never.
But, I helped him up,
he was alive and back on his feet.
Well-- alive, certainly.
But on borrowed time. Oh yes.
Because the autopsy says he died
from the fall into the water.
See what I'm saying?
His death was--
how do you say-- deferred.
You alright?
You going to make it? Only 2 hours left.
- I'm okay. But you?
Oh, more or less an all-nighter for me.
Come on, let's get back to it.
We mustn't break anything-- there.
Fragile, fragile!
MOBILE RINGS
Hello?
Good morning, Captain.
Really? In custody?
But- drowned? What do you mean?
All right. Thank you, Captain. Thanks.
They arrested Olivier's father.
He was my family.
I did everything to forget them.
- Understandable.
You, you're smart.
You notice everything.
Huh? It's nothing.
Basically, Olivier was just a kid.
But with all that,
he spent his life wandering
without ever questioning. Alone.
It's his father Jean he
wanted to please the most.
Hey!
You'll break everything!
Calm down!
Coffee, guys?
BOTH: No thank you.
A tea?
- That either.
A croissant? A chocolate?
There aren't any. Come on, chop-chop.
Those little candies are good.
Ugh!
- 128 kph!
Who?
- Garcin.
Flashed by a speedcam at 9:50 pm
Monday after leaving the bar.
It just arrived in his email.
- Call our colleagues.
Have them send the photo.
Posthumously screwed.
Sucks but it happens. Huh, Dominic?
Well done, comrade.
They say we've been
sent the photo, Captain.
- Really?
Well?
- He was alone.
So what? You're not looking.
What's behind him?
Another car.
Whose car?
It's the doc!
Christine de Menneval
followed him from the bar?
You deduce well.
It's her car-- uh, yes it's her!
You can see she's a big liar.
She's following her Hypocrite oath.
But that has nothing to do with it.
- No, but I wanted to say that.
Is the guard ready?
- Yes.
The pommeau!
There it is.
We finished it, our mastodonte.
!
LAUGHS
With this, you'll win. I have faith.
Right, come on.
We only have 20 minutes left.
I'll go change.
- I'll be thinking of you.
What do you mean 'thinking of'?
- We said I was helping you,
that's all.
- Uh no no no no, that's what you said.
You're coming to the finals with me.
Be right back. See you at the car.
REGIONAL FINAL
BEST BLACKSMITH 2022
I told you I'd be on time.
Hello, anyone there?
Can you open it for me?
- Of course, Captain.
Is that your deodorant?
Stinks in here.
Hey honey, would you open it?
Knock-knock! How are you, Mr. Garcin?
Coming?
Want to talk about UFOs
in a short film?
Pays well; there'll be sandwiches.
Come on. A new career
is opening up for you.
Anyone here?
Hey-oh!
Can I help you?

What are you talking about?
- We still need you.
I understand. I'll get my coat.

- No.
(Surely her secret love.
You'll see, we'll figure it out.)
You stay there, huh? Don't move.
Watch out for this one.
He's not what he seems.
"Hello" Dr. Christine! Alright?
The camera's waiting for you, huh?
What are you accusing me of?
- I'll describe the screenplay:
The world's greatest gendarme
is tired of Dr. Christine's lies.
So she reconstructs what happened
the night that she followed
the victim, and didn't tell her.
Ready?
Now: Quiet on the set.
'The Incestuous Zombie,' Scene 1: CLAP!
Oh, I dropped my cigar.
Those Monte Cristos are expensive.
Right, what happened that night!?
I didn't see much.
He was looking at the water, down there.
There? Okay, cut! LOUIS!?
You're going to go up
on the bridge. Let's go!
Yes, yes.
- "Go! Go!"
(He's brainless.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him.)
There!
There... there... "STOP"!
Okay. Was anyone with him?
Someone was with him!
Mr. Garcin! Come!
He's terrific.
Come, come, come!
Good questioning, right?
Is he the one you saw?
- I don't know anymore.
You 'don't know anymore.'
Move it, don't confuse my actors.
Mr. Garcin, we're going to
do the reenactment
of you joining your son, alright?
On 'action,' you're on. Make sense?
"ACTION"!
There! That's it.
LOUIS! COME SEE YOUR FATHER!
There. You're talking, "blah blah blah"...
'Yeah- hello, son.'
'What do you mean, you're my dad'?
NOW YOU'RE SHOUTING
AT EACH OTHER!
'YEAH! YOU'RE MY SON! YEAH!'
You, you're yelling!
Yeah, and you descend from the bridge.
We're panning... descending...
and sliding...
That's wonderful! That's it.
LET'S GO, YOU FIGHT!
YOU'RE SHOVING!
That's it. There. Just there.
CUT!
They're good, huh?
Pay attention.
"Slow motion." Actually slow down.
You stand. You throw yourself
at your dad.
Mr. Garcin, you avoid your son and
splash-- he falls in.
Is that how it happened?
- Yes, that's exactly what happened.
That's impossible.
Your son couldn't fall in the water
and swallow enough to die. In addition,
he had a mark on his sternum,
I don't really know where.
It means you have to push
on his head for him to die.
Yes, that's what I did!
You did that? Well do it!
Ah ah ah! Stop! You're gonna
kill him, daddy. Get up.
Awesome, you blew me away.
Only, you're too good.
Real aggressors, real culprits
don't do it like that in reenactments,
they have too much to lose!
Even so, that was right!
- Eh, no it wasn't.
What is it, Dr. Christine? Alright?
- Yes, yes.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSame with me. That's why
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwe're doing the reconstruction.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBecause- can you imagine-
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyour girlfriend Dr. Christine
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthinks she saw who
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hkilled your brother.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI said 'thinks' she saw it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI also believe she
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdoesn't mean it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAh.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe don't know.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's a mystery.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI think maybe because
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hit's you.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hReally?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThen why'd she warn you

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyour father?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe's confessing to

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h(Has he done something

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe wasn't very good with
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou. Maybe he wants
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto redeem himself.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHmm.

Right, casting change!
We're taking Ms. Florence,
she's a better fit for the part.
So, come on.
You're going to play your dad.
And he's going to play
your little brother. Come on.
Drown him in the water!
No, I don't want to, I don't want to.
I don't want to do that.
No...
- Really.
Pfft!
I don't understand.
Sir, is that what your daughter
described to you? Eh?
And you?
MARLEAU: Is that what you saw?
(Yes.)
MARLEAU: Yes? I didn't hear you.
Yes.
MARLEAU: All right, cut! That's a keeper!
MARLEAU: That's it for the day.
It was a good try, Jean.
I blame you. But I understand you.
MARLEAU: He was in the bar of
his hotel. He wanted to see you.
He saw you leaving your house
and followed you.
- OLIVIER: Florence!
OLIVIER: Florence!
FLORENCE: I needed a walk to decompress.
I'd seen Olivier a little earlier.
It shook me up.
Everything came back to me. The past.
The rape.
- Florence!
- I didn't know what he wanted,
- Florence!
- what is state of mind was.
- Florence!
The poor guy.
You’re upset from throwing me out earlier!
Can we resume the conversation?
- No no no no, I have
nothing to say to you.
Get lost, right now!
Go, get out of here!
Even drunk and pathetic,
he could still be dangerous.
I missed you so much!
- Leave me alone!
I can't forget you! And my life is crap!
What the fuck can I do?
- Let me redeem myself!
He kept ranting.
We could at least be friends!
No way! It's not possible!
Let me give you a hug!
I should've left. Left him there.
I don't know what took hold of me.
SPLASHING
HE COUGHS
Suddenly, I realized what I was doing
and I released him.
And... I even helped him get
back on his feet, then I went home.
And 36 hours later, he died.
Oh yeah. A heart attack.
When your son grabbed him.
He died because of you.
But you already knew that.
When was that?
Yeah yeah, I found out when,
when you arrested Jean.
I made the connection. Dry drowning
and the rest. I understood.
MARLEAU: It sucks. But hey-
I think you'll get
extenuating circumstances.
You felt you were in danger.
And then there's
the past.
- Do you really think so?
No.
CHORTLES
But hey, sisterhood obliges.
I'm going to put in a word
with the prosecutor.
I'll be your best Gisele Halimi.

I can't. We're taking her

So?
- 'So'? You want to go to the prosecutor too?
Watch it. You're not in the clear either.

If you believe in appearances,
I can tell you how that turns out.
"Oh my god!"
Do you have witnesses?
- It's not that simple.
Do you have witnesses, or not?
- They don't agree.
Who are they?
- Over there.
Yo! Captain Marleau.
Did you see anything?
I saw someone running away from the car.
- Ah.
Uh, that's some witness.
- Yes.
And how was this 'someone'?
He was going fast.
- He?
She? They?
Were they gendered?
He doesn't know.
I saw nothing from up in the basket.
He was down below. Then...
He was looking the other way!
Captain, I'm sure of myself.
He always boasts to make himself look good.
It was 9:15.
- No, 9:30.
9:15, 9:30... We don't know.
Good.
Take their info.
You're a little emo.
I'm getting a coffee.
- Name?
Axel.
- OK. Your number?
AXEL: 06... 12...
KICKS TIRE
He had good tires. What a waste.
How are you, girls?
GRUNTS
Hey, come and see!
His face. It's all gray.
Look!
- See the bruises?
From a fight, he got injured,
resulting in asphyxiation.
Uh... the pathologist
has already been by?
Well no, I'm giving you
my impressions, Captain.
Did you do medicine?
- Two years, then I did philosophy.
Oh, yeah. What else
do you know, Inspector Aristotle?
We found no ID on him.
The car's part of a bank's motor pool.
I'm waiting to hear more.
What do we do, start a
nation-wide search? En masse!
We've already searched in
the hope of finding a phone.
You searched badly.
Don't you know the saying?
- What saying?
The saying: RECITES RHYME
- 'The apple never falls far from the tree'?
Whatever.
Look:
The suspect may have dropped it.
You have to send it to the lab.
You have no sense in your head!
For example. Watch:
"You take the hand of the dead body,
alright?"
- Mm-hmm.
"You take the finger-- okay?"
"You put on the cellular, and:
what happen?"
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMOBILE CHIMES

"And you go to the mail,
to... what you want, huh?"
Gendarmerie Nationale, Capt. Marleau!
Wait, don't come any closer.
Put on a mask or safety glasses.
The chapka doesn't protect.
But the chapka protects you from bullshit.
Although not all the time.
How are you, Darth Vader?
Are you Florence Rougier?
Why?
- For questions.
We're in the middle
of a competition:
Best Blacksmith in France.
You don't say.
Oh, yes, I see.
How are you, Tintin? Where's Snowy?
A blacksmith will
likely win this year, right?
FLORENCE: See this blade?
It needs to be 2 meters.
It has to be done Sunday.
Sunday?
Oh no no no,
Sunday I'm at the swimming pool.
It's about your phone.
My phone?
This morning! The one
who called at 7:30. He's dead.
Only one person called
me this morning. My brother.
Olivier, the son of my adoptive parents.
Condolences.
Well? How was it going
with your dead brother?
Neither good nor bad.
We hadn't seen each
other in centuries.
How many centuries?
At least 30 years.
Thirty years?
There was a big big "facherie" [quarrel]? Eh?
Oh!
If I had a hammer, I'd hit my brother.
Isn't it heavy for you?
- No, It's all right.
I wasn't talking about the hammer.
It's odd.
She doesn't see her
brother for 30 years,
he calls one morning,
she doesn't answer.
You weren't curious?
Yeah... I'm in the middle
of a competition.
Maybe he had
some annoying shit,
since he died 2 hours later.
Maybe he was in danger,
maybe he needed your help.
No no no, I don't think so.
- Why?
Ah yes,
because of the big
"vacherie" [cowshed].
I've never been angry
with my twin sister.
I must say, the DDASS
separated us immediately.
I was adopted in a month.
She... PFFT
Me too. I was adopted at 7.
By Olivier's parents.
But I left at 19, pregnant.
Really? From what and from whom?
A classmate.
A classmate? Making a
kid with a kid, that sucks.
I imagine there was a big
blow-up. Weren't you afraid?
He was my first love.
I forgot to be afraid.
We're stupid at that age.
What'd your parents say?
They wanted me to give birth as X.
(Give birth under X.)
That's not nice.
Giving birth to David Guetta
while taking E.
Not cool.
- No.
What did you do?
I left and didn't go back.
- Oh.
And the famous great love?
What became of him?
He went to the United States.
What happened was,
he didn't recognize her
but he didn't want what-
CLANG
Hold on.
CLANG
Erwan!
Erwan, come here!
Wait.
CLANG
FLORENCE: Please. Stop striking.
CLANG
FLORENCE: Please. Stop striking.
...
Wait! Erwan!
Wait, hold on.
Put it back in the fire.
What were you doing
at 9 this morning?
I was prepping the forge.
MARLEAU: Alone?
Erwan arrived at 11.
We finished late last night.
As luck would have it.
I don't believe it.
(He has a hematoma
on the right hip,
it looks like from a fall
that occurred more than
24 hours before death.)
JEAN: You have a lead, I hope?
I need to know more about your son.
Good... then...come on.
Let's not waste time.
Was he in a civil partnership? Married?
- No.
MARLEAU: He have kids?
No. But he didn't want any.
Well, neither do I.
And his adoptive sister.
He didn't miss her?
Florence. Does she know?
MARLEAU: Is that a problem?
Why'd you kick out
your adopted daughter--
not even 20, and knocked up?
It was she who didn't
want us anymore. She was
already in an apprenticeship
at the forge, but she...
brutally cut ties.
My wife took it very badly.
- Oh yeah? Where is your wife?
She's been dead for a year.
It's better. Because
she didn't have to put up with it.
This was your son's
crib for 10 days, before...
Follow me.
He always chose beautiful places.
Oh yeah? I can see that.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGo ahead.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo.
Very kind.
Ladies and gents?
I remember when we went
to see him in Dakar-
Wooo! Dakar?
What was he doing there?
After his military service,
he found a small job in a bank.
But, he wanted the good life,
he soon climbed the ladder!
Oh yeah. Colonial France
here we come!
Want to see your son's room?
Can I?
MARLEAU: No.
After the search. Maybe.
What're you doing?
Go on, mister, beat it!
Go on!
What does he want me to say?
DOG BARKING
"My son died, I'm sad."
They just have to spawn them.
(ITALIAN) What a beautiful garden!
(ITALIAN) Bright!
Yeah, the Illuminati.
How're you doing, comrade?
KNOCKS
Hi vultures, how ya doing?
Hello.
- Welcome, Captain.
Thank you!
What have you found?
Nothing, we're just
getting started.
No?
- No.
Did you look at the clothes?
- Not yet.
Mm-hmm.
These are banker shirts.
White in front, gray in back.
LAUGHS
Yeah, no- what else?
- Uh, well, this is it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGloves?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGloves. Gloves. Yeah.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHere you are.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThank you...
"Meeting..."?
What is it?
- Pajamas.
Pajamas? Two pajamas?
- Yes.
It's flannel.
See? It'd suit you.
It's a Slim. It's small for you.
Have you done the bathroom?
- No, I will.
SNIFFS
Mmmm!
What's this, aftershave? It stinks.
HAVE YOU SEEN HIS ID?
Hey look!
It was soaked. Annoying to redo it.
He doesn't really need it anymore.
You mean because he's dead?
It was a joke? Mmm...
How funny you are, mister. Ah!
Tell me what time you see.
Uh, 10:37.
Or?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h22:37.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMaybe it's broken?
Maybe he got into a fight?
At that time?
Or he forgot to
change the batteries.
Clothes are wet too.
What's this nonsense?
Look at this shirt.
A bit is missing!
The manager says one evening
he went for a walk by the river,
came back soaking wet.
When was that?
Day before
yesterday, Monday.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHmmm.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd completely drunk.
Drunk? You should write poetry.
You have a vocabulary.
And his computer?
Next door.
- What's in it?
I don't know.
- Didn't you look?
Go look!
- I'm going.
So go!
Unbelievable!
What did you take at the academy?
(Stupid, gendarmes don't go to school.)
Hello. Hello.
How you doing,
Columbo?
Go get me a hot meal. Scram!
Why'd you let him in?
He wasn't called.
Terrible.
Where were we already? Oh yeah.
MARLEAU: Where are you?
- Here!
Ah.
So, what gives?
Show me.
MARLEAU: 'Romain Rougier.'
MARLEAU: He's not-
DESPREZ: Florence. Florence Rougier.
MARLEAU: Oh yeah...
ROMAIN: That's it! Very good,
straighten the hip!
Do like I showed you,
you want to end with the attack.
Yeah, that's not bad!
Strike with the knee!
Very good! Yes!
Come on, we'll speed up a little.
ROMAIN: Turn! To me! Turn! To me!
You look stupid. Move.
No no no!
What're you doing?
You said attack, I attacked.
We don't do that. Look.
- Uh, I'm looking.
Do we know each other?
No. Captain Marleau,
Gendarmerie Nationale.
- I've been waiting for you for 10 days!
I'm not the Messiah, I'm a bit late.
About the €3,000 I had stolen.
- Huh?
Anything new to tell me?
- What €3,000?
Come on, let's talk about it.
Hold on.
Go ahead, keep going!
- GO AHEAD, KEEP GOING!
WE'RE GOING!
ROMAIN: INAUDIBLE
OFFICE ON THE RIGHT,
SHOWERS ON THE LEFT!
You can sit here.
- YOU CAN SIT HERE!
Not bad, learning the
broads to defend themselves.
It's good, extenuating circumstances.
I need it?
- There's someone who died.
Who?
Olivier Garcin, you know him?
Yes. The banker?
- Yeah.
You've seen him recently, haven't you?
He called me. He was
interested in this place.
Was that weird?
It's the only one in the area.
Anywhere. It was understandable.
True that it's understandable--
a banker with solidarity,
empathy, and interested:
solidarity isn't exactly the values of
the International Monetary Fund, right?
You didn't ask me how he died.
I didn't have time.
MARLEAU: Neither did he.
Because he's dead. Whacked.
Doesn't that shock you?
- I didn't say he's actually a friend.
MARLEAU: No, he wasn't
your friend, it's true.
Since he was your uncle.
STRAINS
My mom told me later.
- Really?
But...
But... how did she know? She knew...
your uncle wanted to transform
your dojo into a multinational.
ROMAIN: Well, yes.
- Really?
She saw him?
At the forge.
Your mother, she's a
real WHISTLES Pinocchia.
I’ll stay for the investigation,
it's more convenient.
CLERK: Fine, sir.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPHONE RINGS

Oh. Florence.
The gendarmes told me
I could find you here.
Are you OK Jean?
- Yes, I'm fine. I'll be OK.
140 over 90.
CHRISTINE: That's better.
CHRISTINE: Your heartbeat is normal.
- Thank you.
I saw Olivier just now.
Yes. Yes, yes,
of course, I'm sorry.
Uh,
what's he called now, your son?
Romain.
- Oh, yes. Okay.
Another one that mustn't
forget their Latin.
Is he married?
Yes. They're expecting a child.
Do you have someone?
No.
- Olivier, he was the same.
His job was his life, and then...
But he was appreciated,
because he helped young people
get started. Did he tell you about that?
No.
You haven't seen each other?
- No.
Me neither. I'm all alone.
I prescribed you something for anxiety.
You must stay calm.
Would it be possible
to have a glass of water, please?
Of course, sir.
Thanks for coming so quickly.
It was strange though,
to see your father like that?
- Why strange?
Uh... I don't know.
Your brother; the poor man...
It wasn't a great love with him.
What do you mean?
Nothing. Forget it.
I don't know
what you thought.
I'm going. I'm
expected at the office.
Yes...
SIREN
MARLEAU: Pretty, huh?
The Klein gray, it
makes you look good.
Hey?
Mama Rougier hasn't said so:
her brother came to
see her at the forge.
Know what that's called?
- Lie by omission.
No...
it's called lying by omission.
Is holding over there?
DESPREZ: That's right.
- It stinks.
It wasn't nice of her.
- No.
It's legally reprehensible
and philosophically reprehensible,
according to Kant.
"Kant"? Arrests are heads or tails.
If it's tails I lock them up.
Is this my office?
- Yes, that's right.
I don't like the decor.
Where do I sleep?
In the corner. We'll
bring you a bed.
I need solid.
Exactly. I need solid too.
MARLEAU: About time!
When do I get my nap?
Comrades! Capt. Marleau.
I'm sleeping on that?
- Yes.
Nice crib.
SIREN
Well?
You call this solid?
DESPREZ: Yes, I have a solid one.
Florence Rougier is friends with
Christine de Menneval,
the town doctor,
they've known each other since
she came here when she was 19.
And Christine's brother Daniel
is her boyfriend-
but that's just a rumor.
- Ah.
FLORENCE: I didn't hear you come in.
I was hoping to surprise you.
I brought you dinner.
Oh my!
I thought you'd like it.
Let me take care of you.
That was nice, but
it wasn't necessary.
All the same, a brother
who reappears, who dies.
A father to console;
your competition-- it's a lot.
Mmm.
- Let me help you, come on.
There!
Oh my!
LAUGHS
It's beautiful!
LAUGHS
SIGHS
SIGHS
I have to shower.
OK. I'll make the tagine.
Preserved lemons and
olives, your favorite.
Do you want wine?
FLORENCE: Yes.
KNOCKS
Knock knock! Are we interrupting?
Good evening!
This time it isn't a search.
This is a moment of truth:
to strike while the iron is hot.
LAUGHS
Ah!
'evening.
Good evening.
Who're you?
Daniel de Menneval.
Ah! Like the rumor?
Excuse me?
- No, nothing.
Can the rumor run along?
We must speak with Ms. Rougier,
even if she's not from Lille.
Get it?
'Rougier de Lisle'?
Thank you, sir.
A candlelit dinner?
I'll step in, I'm starving.
Did you make it?
- No, Daniel prepared everything.
Ah... a ring on the finger soon?
- No. We're not there yet.
MARLEAU: But the rabbit
there looks hot, eh?
Ah.

You came this morning, you

I've had a day's work on my feet.
As long as it's on your feet.
If you're knackered,
I'll ask your apprentice.
He was there, huh?
You don't want to?
You don't want to say what you
spoke to your brother about?
I told him to get the hell out.
You OK with that?
'Get the hell out'?
Well, why? What was the beef?
Huh?
It's got nothing to do with it!
Hey, this knows your story doesn't hold up.
You don't see him for 30 years,
he shows up,

Why didn't you answer? Huh?
And why did you lie to me?

Why didn't you turn in

Would you shut this down?
We don't get along.
I have no hidden motive.
Or anything to hide for that matter.
I'm not forcing you to speak.
Forcing an assault victim to speak,
that's the second crime.
But now the attacked is the aggressor,
and he was murdered. So I'm listening.
I broke with him right after. I was 19.
I even took my biological mother's name.
Then I had my adult life to build.
With a child.
Everything had to be buried.
- ("Voila.")
Bury everything, bury everything.
Bury rape too?
Have you told anyone? Your boyfriend?
Your best friend there?
Christine?
- Yes.
What would be the point?
- To "piss on the jackal," as they say
in the Nonviolent
Communication Association.
What about your son?
Did you tell him?
How could I tell him something like that?
I don't know.
- Hmm.
With your words. With your silences.
He'd wind up understanding.
Starting from the beginning,
for example with your brother.
How was he? What was he like?
He was great.
- Ah.
A protector.
- Yes!
Funny.
A big brother.
You trusted him?
- Yes. As a teenager, I...
just didn't see his
developing feelings for me.
You call it 'feelings'? Ah yes...
And his feelings began to escalate
when you got knocked up?
Precisely. The night I...
when I told him I was pregnant,
I was happy. Proud even.
But he was in a daze.
I didn't recognize him.
And he had...
for me... That's all.
- He had what for you? Tell me.
'My brother raped me,' it's called incest.
You're not the one who should be ashamed!
That's crazy!
What did your parents say?
Did you tell them?
What would that have got me?
The damage was done. Anyway,
they wouldn't have believed me.
I wasn't blood.
They had a good image of their son.
Their dead son. A good image.
Viril. Masculine. Macho.
Like your sword.
It'd make a great weapon for a crime-
Please don't touch it!
Does it cut friendship?
Nice of you to tell me.
Good night, comrade.
- You're not arresting me?
Have you seen the time?
I'm exhausted.
And you're not taking off
before your contest.
MARLEAU: How much longer?
- Sunday. At the latest.
MARLEAU: At the latest.
By Sunday I'll find someone
who could've whacked your rapist,
to protect you, for revenge,
"whatever," like that.
Here we go, good night.
- Good night.
Oh...
obviously, all of this is void
if the culprit is you, Darth Vader.
(GERMAN) Good night.
The apprentice's gloves.
To compare fingerprints
with those from the crime scene.
OK, you get a treat.
You endorse where I'm going?
- I don't know. Let me see.
Looking good. Like a cowboy!
(Still, it's weird.
Everyone wants to protect her.)
While she's the "big boss." Weird, right?
Yes. Weird.

It's mostly her night that you've nixed.
Now is not the time.

Because Ms. Florence attracts trouble.

How is it your business?

- You're the gendarme, right?
Are you the knight's sister?
It's good to know self-defense.
Especially between a brother and
sister, you never know what can happen,
she has to swallow her shame--
huh, Marguerite & Julien? Come on.
- Where are you going?
The captain's taking me to
the Gendarmerie for a line-up.
What!?
- Oh yeah! Someone saw someone else
get rid of Mr. Garcin's car.
- Why Daniel?
He might be good "casting."
He didn't know him!
I'll be okay,
I have nothing to do with it.
At least it'll be cleared up.
- Hmm. Okay, let's go.
This is nonsense!
Hi Betty!
(ITALIAN) Let's get started!
Well?
Some good samples here.
It's none of these guys.
Are you sure it was a guy?
AXEL: Of course, there's no doubt.
My colleague in the basket
couldn't see anything.
He was putting up a cable.
Your sister is admired.
- They're right,
it's absurd.
- Uh...
As long as I'm not wrong, I'm right.
Who's older?
- Well, I am.
At any rate,
your sister protects you,
you're protecting Ms. Florence.
Who is Ms. Florence protecting?
- You're wasting your time.
Good day.
Bad news: your fingerprints match.
What?
- Romain Rougier, know him?
What do you want?
The €3,000 stolen from his dojo.
And?
- It was your prints
on his desk. You have a locker there.
Your boss trusts you and you
steal from her son?
It wasn't really stealing,
I'll pay it back.
It was to buy the greenhouse.
My father's struggling,
I wanted to help him.
Do you know the saying,
"In great poverty does not
lie great loyalty"?
Are you gonna bust me?
- Come with me,
sign a confession. Then we'll see.
OK, I'll go with you, but
I'm the one who'll tell Ms. Rougier, OK?
Let's go.
There's also a philosopher
for whom loyalty is
always conducting oneself
honestly with regard to others.
Does that mean yes?
- What do you think?
Nice steel.
- From 1055.
It's okay, given the length.
For flexibility.
How will the blade be treated?
Well, let's say it depends on
how much time I have.
What weight do you think?
- 2 kilos.
Light for its size.
- Yes, but with the gutters...
How many will you do?
- Two, two per side.
All right.
I'll be right back.
I know I messed up, OK?
- What did you take?
What were you thinking
when you stole from my son?
I have to help my father.
- Romain works like crazy!
He set up his company by himself,
€3,000 is a lot for him.
Let me come and help you-
- No!
I don't want to see you anymore, huh?
Get out, now.
"Ciao."
Ah, well I don't have a striker anymore.
Hold on, you won't be ready by Sunday.
I'm capable.
- Yes, but- what about your endurance?
I've prepared for this ordeal for weeks,
I'm going all the way to the end.
I believe in you, Ms. Rougier.
But I can't give you a free pass.
If the sword shatters due
to lack of preparation-
MOBILE RINGS
Excuse me, I have to take this.
Hello? Yes, Daniel- yes?
ROMAIN: If I put more weight in back,
move forward, pull my arm back-
Be right back.
(Come.)
I know about Erwan.
What a bastard!
I told you he was strange!
But you still look for
the good side of people.
I didn't come to talk about Erwan.
There's something new in
the investigation of Olivier's death.
A witness saw the
murderer fleeing in his car.
And?
Daniel was summoned for an identification.
What?
I'm summoned to the Gendarmerie tomorrow.
Yes. Well there you have it,
it must be for the same thing.
And... you've thought about
what I told you happened
between him and me?
Is that why you're here?
Are you having doubts?
I didn't do anything to him.
I'm going to be a dad, that's
all that matters.
Excuse me, I'm busy.
Now then, The Caryatids,
episode 57, season 12.
SYRUPY MUSIC
MAN AND WOMAN TALKING
I missed four episodes! Explain!
Do you want to marry me?
- Oh Maxime!
Cyril and Maxime are getting married?
I'm never told anything!
STATION PA
METAL CLINKING
Someone there?
It's just me.
What are you doing here? Wasn't I clear?
- Yes.
But you won't succeed alone.
Let me help you go all the way.
And don't pay me, I don't care.
Then I'll disappear.
(Okay.)
CROSSTALK
What's going on?
...
Hello.
- Hello, uh...
Are you waiting for Romain Rougier?
- Yes, usually he's here already.
He didn't say he'd be absent?
- No, nothing, is there a problem?
Excuse me.
Captain? He didn't show up at the dojo.
No.
Yes, understood.
- Sir, please?
Are you here for Romain?
- Yes. You are?
His wife. He didn't come back last night
and hasn't picked up his phone.
Do you know anything?
No.
Wha- you're still here?
Ah, you giving him a second chance?
It's good for your contest, eh?
CHUCKLES
Can we talk for a couple minutes? There?
It's about your son. I summoned him,
he didn't come, his phone
is out of service,
his wife doesn't know where he is--
even Mr. Garcin has no news.
How would he,
they don't know each other!
You don't care, so screw me?
Maybe you haven't been frank
with your son about the rape, huh?
Evidently, my homegirl.
Tell me where your son is,
otherwise it's going to be
really bad for him.
He's past the age where he has to tell me
where he goes and with whom.
Too bad.
You don't want him to know the truth?
Anyway, he'll eventually be caught,
the defender of the beautiful
orphan. But I'm not gonna
declare a national emergency
over the Jean Valjean
of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
My name's not Javert.
And even less Malkovich-
Misérable as I am.
KNOCKS
Ah-
you liked coming here when you were little.
The gendarme came to see you?
- Mmm.
There's no point in running.
It'll be held against you.
Romain-
I don't know exactly what happened
between you and him-
- (I didn't do anything!)
- So why are you hiding?
She looks strange,
But she's good on the inside.
You better stay calm and cooperate.
OK?
I didn't want to kill him.
I never should have told you.
Yes! I rather you did. You had to tell me.
Rather than keep lying.
I can't surrender.
And Nora and the baby?
What'll happen to them?
Can you imagine them visiting me in prison?
Anyway, it's too late.
What do you mean?
- Yes.
Don't tell me she's with you.
Yes. She's waiting for me
at the manor entrance.
No! No, no, don't go!
I convinced her to let me talk to you,
that it would go smoothly.
(You didn't want to kill him.)
Everyone will understand, you'll see.
♪ Ahhh! Eeee! ♪
Oh, it's the tire.
Make up your mind?
- It's fine. I'll go with you.
I promised your mother
to not put the bracelets on you,
so don't be a dick, OK?
Yeah, get in. You'll see Montmartre.
Kids, huh!
(Let's go.)
And put on your belt, huh?
Don't want to have another accident.
Florence! Wait!
Florence!
WAIT!
Romain was just taken in by Marleau,
for Olivier's murder.
- Why would he have done that?
I have to help him defend himself.
Help me find a lawyer.
Of course, I'll take care of it.
Come back with me.
No, I want to be at home.
Florence, talk to me. I feel like I've
missed part of the story.
There's nothing to understand.
- Don't you want to explain it to me?
It's better we stop.
- What do you mean?
Sometimes you want me,
but you don't need me.
Better to stop.
I'll find a lawyer for your son.
Come on, move.
How long have you been doing
your militant feminist thing?
There was no man in my home,
just guys passing through.
I had to be to protect my mother.
A protector? More like a pimp.
She can take care of herself.
Take him to the line-up. Go on, shoo!
Stop thinking so much about chicks!
MUTTERING
Wooo, cold in here! Want coffee?
Well, there's more.
There you go. Here, a treat.
So talk.
Why'd you run off in his car?
Your mother told you
what he did to her?
It was gnawing at me.
One morning, I wanted to see him.
Many thanks.
Mr. Rougier!
Is it me you've been waiting for?
I'm glad to see you.
You've thought about my proposal?
Can we talk about it?
- Uh- if you want,
I have a meeting with
regional management, but-
I can drop you somewhere.
- All right.
It would be informal.
Do you have new requests?
There's still time.
I'll present your file at the local branch-
COUGHS
Excuse me.
I sincerely believe in your abilities-
- Why do you want to help me?
So my mother will know?
What did she tell you?
- She said I'm your nephew.
Right. Listen, we were kids.
And I was stupid.
Yeah? It was all just a lie!
- I wanted to apologize!
She wouldn't hear it!
She fired me without
letting me get a word in!
I need some fresh air.
COUGHS
There's a thing you don't know.
I loved your mother!
When you love you rape?
What are you saying?
Who're you going to rape now, huh?
Who're you going to rape?
He began to convulse.
He even vomited water.
There was nothing on his clothes.
- No, it was water.
It looked like water.
GARCIN SUFFOCATING
Come here!
Then he dropped dead.
I checked, he had no pulse.
MARLEAU: Then?
- I panicked. I took off.
Hold this. Don't drink it.
Or spit in it.
You're sure?
You sure he was throwing up water?
Not whisky- Ricard or "whatever"? OK.
What's going on?
- I don't know.
Which one is his phone?
Heigh-ho.
Yeah! Doc, it's Marleau.
We're such losers.
We've been wrong from the start.
Before buying the farm, he threw up water.
And he went all soft and gray.
We've gotta do another autopsy.
The whole thing.
You're right to doubt the
circumstances of his death, Captain.
You know the best part?
Garcin drowned.
Drowned? By the side of
the road? On asphalt?
You're a funny guy. You
watch too much Video Gag.
He drowned in two stages-
are you listening?
- Yeah, yeah.
First he throws up
the water he took in-- all right?
Second, his windpipe closed,
due to spasms caused by
the presence of water.
Got it? You follow?
Okay... That's crazy.
So he went into cardiac arrest.
- Precisely.
Provoked by respiratory distress.
All right. So this idiot didn't
realize he was drowning.
No. But all the symptoms
you reported to me
point in that direction.
- "Okay."
The one who told me about this
is the bartender at the hotel
where he was staying.
He said Monday night
he saw him show up drunk,
wet from head to toe after
walking I don't know where.
And his watch was broken.
It stopped at 10:37 pm.
So he drowned at that time.
A doctor could have evacuated
the water from his lungs.
Doctors, they're important.
- You're not wrong.
That means for two days,
he was undead.
So he was a zombie sentinel?
That's the word: 'undead.'
Lastly, it doesn't look
absolutely like murder.
Maybe he drowned on his own.
In a foot of water?
Are you feeling all alright?
Someone must've...
given him a push, if I may say so?
"Sayonara." Maybe you'll
go back to your dojo?
Why? What for?
- We have new developments:
What kind of developments?
- Developments.
But new.
What the hell were you doing
Monday night, let's say between
about 8 and 11 pm?
- Monday?
I was with my wife.
We had drinks with friends.
(With friends.)
You're going to write them down
on this paper as follows:
surname, first name, date of vaccination.
Warning: I'll check this alibi.
And if you don't pass
you 'pass away.'
At least let Nora know,
tell her I'm coming home.
MARLEAU: Who said she
wants you to come back?
KNOCKS
Olivier!
Give me that.
(German) Thank you! There you go.
Doors closing.
(Fuck!)
They made a fool of you.
We have to start over.
Doors opening. Third floor.
Hey hey hey, stop everything!
We're starting from scratch--
their alibis, their schedules, and
above all, (keep our traps shut.
No one needs to know. Okay?)
(We keep our stories
straight, "understand"?)
Why?
- Why? Because a criminal is out there
who doesn't even know he's guilty!
Nice, right?
MOBILE RINGING, VIBRATING
Huh? I fell asleep?
...
What's that?
It's Romain.
Hello, Romain? Yes?
What do you mean, 'you're free'?
But- why'd she change her mind?
You don't know?
Right, I'm coming to see you, OK?
No, sorry, but I'm tired.
I'll be at home.
She told me about new developments,
involving Monday night.
'New developments about Monday night'?
What is she looking for?
What does it have to do with
his death on Wednesday morning?
Anyway, good that Romain is free.
I have to make up my lost day.
You're amazing.
- What?
You always bounce back.
Where're you going?
- To get the forge ready.
First you have to put your feet up.
I'll make you dinner,
and you'll sleep here.
If you insist, I'll
sleep in the living room.
If you insist.
LAUGHS
Ah, yes.
- If you insist.
Tired.
HONKS
"Stop," Gendarmerie!
See if he's seen the guy in the picture.
Hurry up!
Are you coming back?
I'm not gonna be doing
this job alone, huh?.
Well what does he say?
- He was there Monday at 10:30 pm
but he didn't see Olivier.
- That sucks. Shiiiiit.
Are you coming? I'm not going alone.
He tears through here.
Well then, in your opinion,
who the hell thinks he’s sitting pretty
because he has an alibi for Wednesday,
when he needs one for Monday?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don't know.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou don't know?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou don't know? Me neither.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don't know. No.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou go look...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou go look...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou go look... there.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I'm gonna dig...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAlright.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I'm gonna dig...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAlright.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I'm gonna dig... there.
Maybe there's something there.
This is a Jansenist tree.
It's branches go into the air.
This isn't a Jesuit tree.
Hmm? Hey, look at this.
What?
What game are we playing?
If we put that in a movie no one
would believe it. Wait...
"Wait..."
What is this thing?
Ah! Look familiar?
- Yes.
A piece of cloth from?
- Olivier's shirt.
Ah, well done!
What're you doing?
We need to secure the perimeter, Captain.
Well done.
- Pascal?
Yes. We need casts made
of some impressions.
Send us a team at the old bridge.
Right away.
Thanks. Yes.
Well, you don't need me anymore.
- Uh, no!
Don't leave, Captain-
'Man is an animal that needs a master.'
Last lesson, then I'm outta here:
'Neither god nor master.'
We don't do that.
SNIFFS, COUGHS
SNIFFS
(What stinks?)
Ugh!
Hey!
Gotta change the water of
these fake flowers. It stinks.
Where're they from?
Good morning, Captain.
From the hotel where Garcin was staying.
It got his attention, he didn’t
know what to do. Coffee?
MARLEAU: Yes. I slept badly. My hip hurts.
MARLEAU: Hold on; sweet!
Let's see if the rose had arthritis.
There you go-- I knew it. Look:
It's signed 'Florence Rougier.'
That's crazy. What's wrong with this?
Who bought them?
Um, Olivier Garcin?
- Well done.
And who necessarily sold them?
- Daniel de Menneval.
Who organized the exhibition.
I saw the picture on the poster.
I ain't stupid.
And the restoration of the stables?
- I asked for help from the Region.
What's your part of the deal?
- Opening to the public,
at least 40 days in July,
August, and September.
The ideal time for concerts.
That's too much.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello.
What do you think?
- Ah, the stables?
I don't know. I have to go.
You're in no place to lecture me,
she always does too much.
Wha- who? You talking about me?
Not even. A coffee to make up for it?
Oh no, I wouldn't want to
disturb such a nice three-way.
Stop fantasizing, Captain.
- Certainly not!
Fantasies are all I have left.
You coming, Mr. Daniel?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe cop house.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhere?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe cop house.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAgain?
Why do you persist?
- He was naughty!
He didn't mention he had sold
a sculpture to Mr. Garcin.
What's more, a sculpture
of yours, Ms. Florence.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
It means you knew the victim-- right,
Mr. Know-it-all Say-nothing?
Yeah yeah, come on, move.
('cause I say so.)
- Christine! (Christine; come here.)
Did you see him too?
- No.
You knew he was in the area
and sent him the flowers?
Yes.
And you didn't tell me?
- We were going to.
You didn't ask if I
agreed to sell to him?
We thought his death, the father's
return, the competition, were too much.
You treat me like an infant.
- Not at all.
Stop thinking for me.
Deciding for me. This is
my story, not yours.
Florence, we messed up, but it's not-
- If that's a reason.
I wonder what other shenanigans you pulled.
Did you get rid of Olivier?
He bothered you, didn't he?
PFFFT
Disgusting.
DANIEL: He only wanted Florence's work...
I thought it was weird.
When he saw the bouquet, he froze.
The he started making a fuss:
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'Mastery,' 'elegance,'
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'poetry.' Everything.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'Mastery,' 'elegance,'
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMmm.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'poetry.' Everything.
You thought Florence had been there too?
CHUCKLES
You were jealous!
She's your Venus, right?
Not at all.
Intrigued, rather. I wondered
who was this guy.
Later, he wanted to buy it.
I said I already had an offer. He insisted.
He even begged.
He outbid. It was getting really awkward.
Uh-huh.
So you didn't know that this guy-
- No.
Christine told me about it
when I mentioned his name.
I hadn't realized.
- That Florence already knew him?
Huh?
In addition, the lover got all melty
in front of you! The balls!
FORCED LAUGH
Right.
You asked your sister:
What is he, what does he have, who is he.
And you decided to do what?
Nothing.
What do you mean, 'nothing'?
Despite the beef between
Florence and her brother?
Florence just explained... the past.
The past?
Oh: the rape!
Say it! 'Rape.' Don't be afraid.
Call a cat a cat.
It's not the word that's vulgar.
(It's the silence. 'Sssh!')
(So you didn't know? But if you had,
what would you have done?) Hmm?
No answer?
You'd rather stay in custody? You got it.
Dominic!
I don't care. All I need is my coffee.
Take him into custody. Move it.
And whatever he tells you, you tell me.
Knucklehead.
What are you doing?
A thesis about violence
against women in policing?
Just as exciting.
At 9:30 the night of the drowning,
Olivier Garcin used the
menu at his hotel bar.
Ah.
- And not just a little.
The same evening, guess who he called?
Uh, hold on. Her father?
Been here long ?
Yeah... I wanted to see your home.
This is my forge.
And you can do things like this now?
A spear, it's tough, huh!
Because little-
- Well yes, I haven't changed.
I was wondering...
how is it that you hadn't seen each other,
Olivier and you?
It's not a big village.
I work a lot. And there's the contest,
there's that.
- That's not it. Why are you here?
Why are you?
Why did you come back?
Now. Why?
Hi.
I was dead on my feet, I slept in.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight, I have to go.
Did you work late?
- I did what I could,
I hope it's okay.
Yes, you did a good job. The hilt?
It has its final size.
We only have 2 days left.
We're going to do the guard,
the handle, and the pommeau.
Go make yourself a coffee,
let's get started.
He drank, yes. But not alone.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere was a\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA woman?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwoman with him.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes, the doc who
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlives at the manor.
They left late?
I'd say... a little before 10 pm.
Him first. He looked strange.
(Okay.)
Captain?
I have info for you. It's solid.
Why did you call me?
What are we doing here?
I wanted us to be alone.
Uh, you wanted to talk to me, about Olivier?
Don't say otherwise. That's why
you came to the forge.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn fact,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn fact, you knew he raped me.
Right?
He told me what he'd done.
When?
When'd he tell you?
- Thirty years ago.
You knew?
All this time, you knew?
And you didn't do anything?
He rapes me and you don't say anything?
No one punishes him. Me, yes.
Nevertheless, I was the victim. Hmm?
The rapist stayed with loving parents.
Surrounded, pampered, protected.
I was just the adopted one.
Listen, uh, he's dead now.
So I want to beg your
forgiveness about him,
forgive me.
Yikes.
Oh! Did you ever think
he was Romain's father?
No, you see,
no, we're not of your blood!
That's great!
Florence, wait!
You should have died.
Did... you see him again? What happened?
Doors opening. Third floor.
I have an appointment with Capt. Marleau.
- Very well, wait here.
MARLEAU: Ho!
How are you, Doc Christine?
Did you catch something?
Are you overworked? Let me look.
You've got a fever.
Sit.
TUTS
We need to talk. I made a boo-boo,
I shouldn't have said
in front of Ms. Florence that
her brother bought her sculpture.
That must've fucked up some shit.
Yes, I don't know how to repair it.
War's been declared between you two?
What is Florence to you?
Florence is my friend. She's like a sister.
- Oh yeah?
But how is she your friend exactly, hmm?
To the point of going to see her admirer
in the bar of his hotel?
Mr. Garcin?
Are you Olivier Garcin?
And you? Who are you?
A friend of Florence.
Did she tell you about me?
- Not really.
The same.
He's had enough.
I can serve him water.
Hey, it's OK.
No no, I know my limits!
And the lady asks that you serve me.
- Very well, sir.
What did you come here for?
Ah, that's none of your business. And...
you wouldn't understand.
Maybe I can.
Have you seen each other again?
I- I dreamed of this day so much.
I was worried about Florence.
I knew she had a brother,
but she refused to mention him.
Why was he here? What did he want?
- Why not ask Florence?
I wanted to investigate first.
- The dirty scoundrel.
It's been years.
Since she left,
I feel like I'm missing someone.
Why did you never marry?
- Who to?
The feeling of fitting together perfectly,
I never found that again.
We were like that.
You were kids.
- So what?
You told her that you missed her?
She doesn't want to listen to me!
CHRISTINE: Why?
Because-
because I- I'm shit, there!
But I-
- What do you mean?
I- I loved her too much.
But- it was so long ago.
I should throw in the towel, right?
You know what I mean.
When I throw in the towel,
it always leaves traces.
When he said he loved her
too much, what'd he mean?
Do you know?
- Maybe
an incestuous relationship, I don't know.
Florence didn't talk about the past.
But she had recovered.
When she was younger, she
was already a rock.
If I get transferred here,
it's for her, you'll see.
Yes; she'll eventually accept me.
Yes.
And then- hey,
I- I can help her son too, huh?
It's ballsy to want to set up
your own small business,
especially when there's a baby coming.
No no- he deserves a little one.
Are you hoping to reconnect?
- Well...
don't worry. I'll do this gently.
I'm going to see her,
and I'm going to- ah...
Don't worry. Thank you.
It would be better to not let him drive.
You're right.
Goodbye.
MARLEAU: Where did he go?
I don't know, he left so quickly.
MARLEAU: Alright... And after that?
- Then I went home.
Straight home?
CHRISTINE: Yes.
Alright. Good.
Comrades!
All right, you can bring him in.
Would you like to see your big brother?
Uh-huh. Why?
(Like this. Look how beautiful he is.)
Come in, Mr. Daniel!
Loo-ook!
Who came to give you a kiss?
Are you pleased?
Huh? No?
Sit down; have a seat;
make yourself at home.
There!
Beautiful-- the Holy Family reunited.
(What a perfect understanding.)
A normal understanding, common in families.
The family-- I'm sensing something.
But yours has a new member-
if I may say so.
Ms. Florence. You both
love her, Ms. Florence.
Even if that were true,
what's the problem?
'Who mentioned love?', said Jealousy.
'Who said friendship?', said Solidarity.
And 'Who said danger?', said-
Mr. Garcin, it so happens!
What danger?
- He told you Florence was
the woman of his life!
- He was drunk.
When was this?
- She didn't tell you?
Your sister didn't tell you
she probed your rival?
In an honorable and correct way.
To see
if your relationship was threatened.
With Florence, not your sister.
What a funny plan, Captain.
- Three-way plans?
Or four-way plans?
(What came over you?)
The guy was disturbing. I was scared.
Scared for me?
- No, for her!
She didn't ask you to!
Atmosphere!
Well, well, well, well...
Fine, fine, fine, fine.
Well, Mr. Daniel: you're free.
You can go.
You can meet up downstairs, please.
MARLEAU: Hide your joy!
MARLEAU: Not even a thank you.
Your brother's rude.
MARLEAU: So long, doctor!
SIREN
SIREN
You let them go?
- They agree on nothing.
Can you see them bumping
someone off? Impossible.
Okay.
- Alright. Is this for me? How nice.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGood morning!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGood morning, Margot.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAre you good?
Mr. Garcin!
Have you found
the bastard who killed my son?
No, but it won't be long.
Can I pay back that drink with a drink?
Hello, Gendarmerie!
Give us 2 minutes, please.
You too. Come on, "rasch"!
Can I help you question him?
The "fake news" channel here,
we learn to spot them.
It's not just "fake news" we're looking for.
Bring us a Château-la-pompe
from the wine cellar.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOf course.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI'm starting
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto like him!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOf course.
A little pick-me-up, Mr. Garcin?
Well... Mr. Garcin!
Monday.
Your son. Did he call you?
Yes.
MARLEAU: "Yeah."
What was he like?
What did he tell you about?
He was lost. He was bad,
very bad. It was
a sort of cry for help.
He told you that he'd just seen his sister?
No.
- No? That's odd.
He didn't tell you?
And what did you think about him
coming to live here?
Completely against it.
No, but... after Dakar, uh,
living here, in this part of the world,
simply because Florence lives here?
What was he looking for?
Maybe his sister?
Your daughter had
reasons to blame him, right?
Where is all this leading us?
To the fact that maybe she
wanted to tear him a new one.
Absurd.
- Not at all.
The autopsy says that the injuries on
your son's body are from that evening.
Actually... that night I had an altercation
with my son.
Oh, you left that out.
Which means,
the altercation was
right after he called you.
He needed someone.
So, I suggested we see each other,
at the old bridge.
A date there, it's good for a booty call.
Not for a father and son, no?
Given his condition,
I rather he'd avoid his hotel,
to prevent any issues.
What state was he in?
- He was dead drunk--
unbearable. He claimed he was going to
win back Florence,
that no one could stop him.
So you're saying he
believed he could do it.
Yes, that's exactly what I thought.
After what he did to her...
What do you mean?
'After what he did to her'?
No, but...
- You knew about the rape?
Unfortunately... I'm his father.
He's my son.
Despite my shame,
I protected him.
- Oh yeah?
And your daughter: did you protect her?
Oh no, huh? 'Be quiet", "Ssssh!"
Above all you need to shut her mouth.
She could tell people!
Accomplices! Fuck, it disgusts me.
Keep going. There was
an altercation, over what?
I didn't think he could
still ruin Florence's life.
So I yelled at him, and
Olivier threw himself at me.
He fell into the river.
But there was no water.
So he got injured on a rock.
On a rock. And then he got up.
- No no no!
No, I disagree. He couldn't get up.
But I was there.
- You were in trouble!
It wasn't just him who was in trouble.
Beat it!
He's really starting
to grow on me, that one.
What you say is impossible.
The autopsy says your son
drowned that night.
So you just confessed,
since you were there.
You're mistaken-- completely.
- Never.
But, I helped him up,
he was alive and back on his feet.
Well-- alive, certainly.
But on borrowed time. Oh yes.
Because the autopsy says he died
from the fall into the water.
See what I'm saying?
His death was--
how do you say-- deferred.
You alright?
You going to make it? Only 2 hours left.
- I'm okay. But you?
Oh, more or less an all-nighter for me.
Come on, let's get back to it.
We mustn't break anything-- there.
Fragile, fragile!
MOBILE RINGS
Hello?
Good morning, Captain.
Really? In custody?
But- drowned? What do you mean?
All right. Thank you, Captain. Thanks.
They arrested Olivier's father.
He was my family.
I did everything to forget them.
- Understandable.
You, you're smart.
You notice everything.
Huh? It's nothing.
Basically, Olivier was just a kid.
But with all that,
he spent his life wandering
without ever questioning. Alone.
It's his father Jean he
wanted to please the most.
Hey!
You'll break everything!
Calm down!
Coffee, guys?
BOTH: No thank you.
A tea?
- That either.
A croissant? A chocolate?
There aren't any. Come on, chop-chop.
Those little candies are good.
Ugh!
- 128 kph!
Who?
- Garcin.
Flashed by a speedcam at 9:50 pm
Monday after leaving the bar.
It just arrived in his email.
- Call our colleagues.
Have them send the photo.
Posthumously screwed.
Sucks but it happens. Huh, Dominic?
Well done, comrade.
They say we've been
sent the photo, Captain.
- Really?
Well?
- He was alone.
So what? You're not looking.
What's behind him?
Another car.
Whose car?
It's the doc!
Christine de Menneval
followed him from the bar?
You deduce well.
It's her car-- uh, yes it's her!
You can see she's a big liar.
She's following her Hypocrite oath.
But that has nothing to do with it.
- No, but I wanted to say that.
Is the guard ready?
- Yes.
The pommeau!
There it is.
We finished it, our mastodonte.
!
LAUGHS
With this, you'll win. I have faith.
Right, come on.
We only have 20 minutes left.
I'll go change.
- I'll be thinking of you.
What do you mean 'thinking of'?
- We said I was helping you,
that's all.
- Uh no no no no, that's what you said.
You're coming to the finals with me.
Be right back. See you at the car.
REGIONAL FINAL
BEST BLACKSMITH 2022
I told you I'd be on time.
Hello, anyone there?
Can you open it for me?
- Of course, Captain.
Is that your deodorant?
Stinks in here.
Hey honey, would you open it?
Knock-knock! How are you, Mr. Garcin?
Coming?
Want to talk about UFOs
in a short film?
Pays well; there'll be sandwiches.
Come on. A new career
is opening up for you.
Anyone here?
Hey-oh!
Can I help you?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello.

Please follow me.
- Where?
The old bridge.
What for?
- Because you were there Monday night.
What are you talking about?
- We still need you.
I understand. I'll get my coat.
-and so, which of these
three brilliant blacksmiths
will represent Nouvelle-Aquitaine
at the national finals?
Is it Florence Rougier, from Val-de-Vienne?

I couldn't find my purse.
- I'll take you.
HOST: But, for a sword it's
not enough to be beautiful.
It must be solid, efficient.
That it cuts, that it slices,
and of course, it doesn't break.
HOST: We'll start with Ms. Rougier.
Hah!

Eeeuh!
DISAPPOINTED CRIES

Meh.

HAH!

Excellent penetration.
The blade split the chainmail
and would have reached flesh.
Finally, the strength test.
Yeuh!

The blade held perfectly.
No splintering or damage. Well done!
(I'll be right back.)
This is the sword.
Why did she leave?
- She got a text.

Stay put.
MARLEAU DRIVING UP
HONKS
MARLEAU: Well?
How is she?
- Worried.
I think she called someone.
You know who?
- No.
(Surely her secret love.
You'll see, we'll figure it out.)
You stay there, huh? Don't move.
Watch out for this one.
He's not what he seems.
"Hello" Dr. Christine! Alright?
The camera's waiting for you, huh?
What are you accusing me of?
- I'll describe the screenplay:
The world's greatest gendarme
is tired of Dr. Christine's lies.
So she reconstructs what happened
the night that she followed
the victim, and didn't tell her.
Ready?
Now: Quiet on the set.
'The Incestuous Zombie,' Scene 1: CLAP!
Oh, I dropped my cigar.
Those Monte Cristos are expensive.
Right, what happened that night!?
I didn't see much.
He was looking at the water, down there.
There? Okay, cut! LOUIS!?
You're going to go up
on the bridge. Let's go!
Yes, yes.
- "Go! Go!"
(He's brainless.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him.)
There!
There... there... "STOP"!
Okay. Was anyone with him?
Someone was with him!
Mr. Garcin! Come!
He's terrific.
Come, come, come!
Good questioning, right?
Is he the one you saw?
- I don't know anymore.
You 'don't know anymore.'
Move it, don't confuse my actors.
Mr. Garcin, we're going to
do the reenactment
of you joining your son, alright?
On 'action,' you're on. Make sense?
"ACTION"!
There! That's it.
LOUIS! COME SEE YOUR FATHER!
There. You're talking, "blah blah blah"...
'Yeah- hello, son.'
'What do you mean, you're my dad'?
NOW YOU'RE SHOUTING
AT EACH OTHER!
'YEAH! YOU'RE MY SON! YEAH!'
You, you're yelling!
Yeah, and you descend from the bridge.
We're panning... descending...
and sliding...
That's wonderful! That's it.
LET'S GO, YOU FIGHT!
YOU'RE SHOVING!
That's it. There. Just there.
CUT!
They're good, huh?
Pay attention.
"Slow motion." Actually slow down.
You stand. You throw yourself
at your dad.
Mr. Garcin, you avoid your son and
splash-- he falls in.
Is that how it happened?
- Yes, that's exactly what happened.
That's impossible.
Your son couldn't fall in the water
and swallow enough to die. In addition,
he had a mark on his sternum,
I don't really know where.
It means you have to push
on his head for him to die.
Yes, that's what I did!
You did that? Well do it!
Ah ah ah! Stop! You're gonna
kill him, daddy. Get up.
Awesome, you blew me away.
Only, you're too good.
Real aggressors, real culprits
don't do it like that in reenactments,
they have too much to lose!
Even so, that was right!
- Eh, no it wasn't.
What is it, Dr. Christine? Alright?
- Yes, yes.
You're not going to throw up?
Is it the cigar? Oh don't cry.
He'll win a Cesar someday.
That's it, we'll break for lunch!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat the hell are you
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdoing here, Ms. Florence?\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHuh?!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAlright. Think you'll win?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSame with me. That's why
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwe're doing the reconstruction.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBecause- can you imagine-
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyour girlfriend Dr. Christine
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthinks she saw who
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hkilled your brother.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI said 'thinks' she saw it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI also believe she
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdoesn't mean it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAh.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe don't know.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's a mystery.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI think maybe because
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hit's you.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI think maybe because
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hit's you. That's why.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hReally?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThen why'd she warn you
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand now you're here, hmm?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHave you seen
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyour father?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe's confessing to
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmurdering your brother.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h(Has he done something
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthat needs to be forgiven?)
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSCOFFS

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe wasn't very good with
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou. Maybe he wants
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto redeem himself.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHmm.

Right, casting change!
We're taking Ms. Florence,
she's a better fit for the part.
So, come on.
You're going to play your dad.
And he's going to play
your little brother. Come on.
Drown him in the water!
No, I don't want to, I don't want to.
I don't want to do that.
No...
- Really.
Pfft!
I don't understand.
Sir, is that what your daughter
described to you? Eh?
And you?
MARLEAU: Is that what you saw?
(Yes.)
MARLEAU: Yes? I didn't hear you.
Yes.
MARLEAU: All right, cut! That's a keeper!
MARLEAU: That's it for the day.
It was a good try, Jean.
I blame you. But I understand you.
MARLEAU: He was in the bar of
his hotel. He wanted to see you.
He saw you leaving your house
and followed you.
- OLIVIER: Florence!
OLIVIER: Florence!
FLORENCE: I needed a walk to decompress.
I'd seen Olivier a little earlier.
It shook me up.
Everything came back to me. The past.
The rape.
- Florence!
- I didn't know what he wanted,
- Florence!
- what is state of mind was.
- Florence!
The poor guy.
You’re upset from throwing me out earlier!
Can we resume the conversation?
- No no no no, I have
nothing to say to you.
Get lost, right now!
Go, get out of here!
Even drunk and pathetic,
he could still be dangerous.
I missed you so much!
- Leave me alone!
I can't forget you! And my life is crap!
What the fuck can I do?
- Let me redeem myself!
He kept ranting.
We could at least be friends!
No way! It's not possible!
Let me give you a hug!
I should've left. Left him there.
I don't know what took hold of me.
SPLASHING
HE COUGHS
Suddenly, I realized what I was doing
and I released him.
And... I even helped him get
back on his feet, then I went home.
And 36 hours later, he died.
Oh yeah. A heart attack.
When your son grabbed him.
He died because of you.
But you already knew that.
When was that?
Yeah yeah, I found out when,
when you arrested Jean.
I made the connection. Dry drowning
and the rest. I understood.
MARLEAU: It sucks. But hey-
I think you'll get
extenuating circumstances.
You felt you were in danger.
And then there's
the past.
- Do you really think so?
No.
CHORTLES
But hey, sisterhood obliges.
I'm going to put in a word
with the prosecutor.
I'll be your best Gisele Halimi.
BOTH CHORTLE
HOST: The deliberation was heated.
Fortunately, we didn't have swords!
We therefore declare Florence Rougier

Woman blacksmith! Absolutely!
Unanimously!
Though her sword didn't cut the 2nd rope,
it stood up best to testing, by far.
It is therefore Ms. Rougier
who will represent us at
the national finals!
"Bravo, bravo"!
APPLAUSE
APPLAUSE
Ms. Rougier?
- Unfortunately, she had an emergency.
All right... will you give it to her?
I'll take care of it.
- "Bravo" to you.
Thank you. See you
for the 'glass of friendship.'
It's always me who signs.

I can't. We're taking her
to the prosecutor.
So?
- 'So'? You want to go to the prosecutor too?
Watch it. You're not in the clear either.
ROMAIN: Fine, I withdraw my complaint.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe'll pay me back.
You're in a danger zone, watch out now!

Stay honest, I'll be watching.
I'll take it to her. So long.
