Duel au soleil (2014): Season 1, Episode 1 - Aller simple - full transcript
Valérie Anglès, 29 years old.
Native of Avignon.
Apparently,
her ticket was one-way only.
Big ass. Nice lips though.
Enough, Versini.
Police! Put your hands up!
I'm Captain...
Don't move! Don't move.
Okay. Let him go.
Excuse us.
Captain Le Tallec.
You were supposed to get
here in 48 hours.
- I'm here already.
- Well, I see that.
Le Tallec will replace Filippi.
Nice welcome you gave him.
Captain. Lise Darcourt.
Prosecutor. Ready for
an anticipated service?
He just proposed that to me.
ONE-WAY TICKET
No weapon, or signs of fighting.
ONE-WAY TICKET
ONE-WAY TICKET
She still has her belongings.
This was not a robbery.
ONE-WAY TICKET
She still has her belongings.
This was not a robbery.
The captain wants to let people out.
No, the murderer is on board.
This will take the whole day.
- Well, so be it.
- No. I'm not sure.
Let's use a camera
to film all the passengers.
We'll question the most
interesting suspects.
That's a modern idea.
Will Criminology finally
change its ways?
It was about time.
Get me a camera to film
all the passengers who could...
Huh?
Tell me, did you know the job
was for Marchioni?
But he was blocked suddenly.
I get the impression you came
to welcome him.
Close the file, Renucci.
The forensic says
she died towards 3 am.
Yes. And she was dressed.
She hadn't gone to bed.
Lieutenant Versini?
Do you have an eye problem?
An eye problem?
I have 10/10 on both sides.
Sorry, it's the glasses.
They're very classy.
I mean very classy.
Well, you're in charge
of the video operation.
A black Breton. Original, huh?
"Original"?
A madman's DNA, no doubt.
One of us should have replaced
Filippi. I will not obey him.
Well, you'll have to
if you want to get promoted.
Not at all.
He'll be on his way soon.
I saw her at the bar
at around 10.
Did she stay long?
Yes. Manhattan, champagne...
She drank quite a bit.
I'm sorry about what happened.
Was she alone?
At the beginning. Then she was
with two soldiers.
What they wanted was obvious.
They finally left together,
and I didn't see them again.
Nothing else?
She gave very generous tips,
and that's not common.
It's nice to see you again.
- When is Claire coming?
- She's not.
Oh, shit.
Do you like Renucci?
Come to my office tomorrow.
I will explain everything.
I have the two soldiers,
Sargent N'Guyen
and Luc Boniface.
Based in Calvi.
True predators.
Great at morphopsychology,
Versini, huh?
The one in green is a suspect.
Well, let's get to know
their base in Calvi.
What?
Not worth it, it's broken.
- Is this your service car?
- Relax.
Ange, tell him I did
the Tour de Corse.
It's true, he did.
But he got disqualified
on the first day.
Hey, it's 11:30,
time for an aperitif.
- Are you kidding?
- No. Aperitifs are essential.
Hey, Pierrot!
What's up? Paris police,
just in time. Va bè?
Va bè.
This is Captain Le Tallec.
Pierrot, my friend.
"Le Tallec"? Don't tell me
you're a real Breton.
I am, 100%.
- Pierrot, how are you?
- Va bè.
- I took your wine.
- Do you make deliveries?
No. It's a friendly exchange.
It's a tradition here.
Don't you do it?
Come on, let's toast.
Come on, we'll open a bottle
of rosé, as usual.
I'll just have some sausage
and a little water.
- Saint-Georges or...?
- Just water.
Yes but with bubbles
or without?
One carafe.
Okay.
Okay. Thanks. Yes.
Ange, hear this.
Before leaving Toulon,
Le Tallec told the IGS
to investigate his boss.
Darcourt's plan is
easy to guess.
Don't worry.
I'm too tough for her.
And for him as well.
The pause is over.
We have two free suspects.
- We're staying for lunch.
- Yes.
Grilled seabass
with fennel and tarragon.
It's the best on the island.
Really?
Yes.
Well!
Our soldiers are in custody
and there's just one road.
And we secured the truck,
so we can have our seabass.
I'm leaving. Enjoy.
What are you doing?
The Breton only thinks
about work.
- He can't leave in my car.
- No, he won't, come on...
What are you doing?
Le Tallec!
Fuck!
Hello, I'm...
Okay.
Hello, I'm Captain Le Tallec,
the new...
Okay. Thank you.
The soldiers went with her,
but she was too drunk.
They went back to their cabin
for some more drinks.
At the time of the crime,
a steward was with them.
Oh! No hard feelings.
Never again.
You may not take my car!
Never do that again.
Okay, Le Tallec, enough.
Are you satisfied now?
This has been your first
and last hour of glory.
Do you understand?
Okay. But please spare me
your Corse apprentice.
This is called magagne.
It's the national sport here.
People make fun of each other.
You'll have to get used to it.
Yes.
Oh, it's Doumé.
Doumé, I'll put you
on loudspeaker.
Anglès taught computing.
No family, nothing strange
at her place,
but she had quit her job
and her house is for sale.
Looks like a farewell.
Thanks, Doumé.
That, plus the one-way ticket.
She wanted a change of life.
I requested
her phone call register.
It's like falling a tree by hand.
They take their time.
Well, shall we eat?
I really am hungry!
The Breton's first jailed suspect
was Van Damme,
the Roubaix rapist, remember?
Of course! The bastard raped
8 little girls in 7 months.
In any case, that confirms
he's a good policeman, right?
Yes, exactly. If he's here
to replace you, I see danger.
Valérie Anglès' phone record.
I also have friends myself.
She called the U-Capu a lot.
A luxury hotel.
Thanks.
Well, let's go.
Shit!
He's such a pain.
U-Capu is a famous hotel
for tourists.
Her father, Alain Graziani,
created this paradise.
Alain Graziani fell off
a cliff six months ago.
A priori, that has nothing
to do with our story.
"A priori"? Are you sure
or do you just think so?
Ange Renucci!
It's been ages.
Hyacinthe, va bè?
Va bè, Jeanne. Thanks.
Sorry, but we're closed.
- Do you know this woman?
- No.
My daughter is the one
who deals with clients. Come.
No, wait.
Wait. Don't play
all your cards yet.
Let's observe. Listen.
Listen to what,
if they say nothing?
Miss Anglès called in June
and a few other times.
30 calls in 3 months.
U-Capu called her 15 times.
She changed her mind
all the time.
A drag. There's someone
like that every season.
She will bother you no more.
She's dead.
- And... what happened?
- A bad encounter.
She was killed on the ferry.
- Did you know she was coming?
- Of course not.
Why would she have?
- Did you know her?
- No. I've never seen her.
And you?
Listen, my job here
is to cook. Understood?
I don't know her. Go talk
to my sister, she's the boss.
Enough. We can go on now.
There's no potence de la mer
anymore?
No, we stopped.
Why?
Everyone does it nowadays.
There are beach bars.
What a shame. What a shame!
Valérie got her head smashed
in the ferry last night.
Where were you then?
We were both over there.
We had a meeting with my mom
and Lydia.
Ask them.
What a practical alibi.
You four are here alone.
The fact that they hide stuff
doesn't make them murderers.
It's a tradition not to tell
the police anything.
- Angelini, Captain Le Tallec.
- Pleasure.
You just got some luggage.
- Toussaint.
- Yes?
Find a connection between
the Grazianis and the victim.
- Isn't that my job?
- Yes. Stay calm.
Valérie carried a laptop.
Password protected.
The ribbon is in Marseille
and you want me to hack it?
Yes.
I'm Vissac. I will be
your defendant, Mr. M'Bollé.
Come with me,
let's verify the facts.
You were harassed by policemen
who contested your Burkinabe
residence permit.
- When did you come to France?
- 30 years ago.
I was born in Burkina Fasso
but I'm from Bretagne.
M'Bollé is not too Breton.
I use my original surname
because it makes it easier
to find work.
- Are you kidding me?
- No, no.
There's a Burkinave proverb
that says:
"Before you go pull
a panther's whiskers,
"make sure
she has eaten well."
Excuse me, you have
something right... here.
You don't have any scars.
Did they hit you
in the stomach?
We'll add that to the dossier.
It's important.
Should I leave you my number?
I will take yours.
Now...
Captain Le Tallec?
The prosecutor is waiting.
I'm coming.
The Grazianis are not clear.
I need a warrant to search
the U-Capu computers.
No problem.
I trust your intuition.
Tell Renucci that.
Why? Is he investigating
alone and isolated?
He breaks the rules
and he keeps bad company.
His godfather is a gangster,
his sister is a nationalist,
and his brother in law
blew up a police station.
He thinks you appointed me
to replace him.
- Why?
- He's a murderer.
Blanchi can count on Marchioni
for anything.
I will not investigate
my own boss.
It's a real pity.
For everyone.
What do you mean?
If a lawyer found out
that you falsified the report
to arrest that rapist,
you could be in a lot of trouble.
Van Damme is a predator.
Here.
Take a look.
Well, there you go.
A little hostel.
It's actually the Ritz, but here is
where new people stay.
It belongs to Versini's uncle.
I'll sleep with my gun.
I understand your defensive
attitude after Toulon.
But, you know...?
I have a rather good team,
and I'd like to keep it.
Let me do my job.
What is your problem?
Am I too continental? Too black?
No, don't give me that.
Don't give me that.
The post was for Marchioni.
Darcourt blocked everything
and you arrived. Get it?
If I got a little suspicious,
I could ask myself whether
you came here to investigate
or replace me, like you did
with your old boss.
He was a crook, okay?
He wanted to keep me
from sending two guys to jail
after they killed
a homeless person.
There's no problem then.
We don't kill the homeless.
Here.
You'll get the report
by mail tonight.
Thanks.
Divorce document
Hello? It's me.
I got the divorce document.
We have to talk.
When will the others arrive?
The morning briefing
is always in Tony's office.
Plus, he makes tons
of canistrelli. Hi, Ange.
So?
Was it hard to get up
this morning, Captain?
I thought you would
skip the autopsy.
Did you manage
to hack that computer?
No, not yet.
She was a computing teacher.
Yes, so...?
I'm working on it.
Good.
Doctor Meynard.
I'm from Bergerac.
My wife is Corsican.
My sons speak Corsican, but...
To them, I'm a pinzutu.
Welcome to the club.
Okay.
A blow on the temple
with a black metal object, it seems.
I sent everything express
to Marseille.
"Express" means 10 days.
- Did she defend herself?
- No, I don't think so.
She had too much alcohol
in her blood: 1.8 gr.
- What about the toxicology?
- Vertex, to suppress hunger.
Some people take it to stay
awake, but she was dieting.
Some drugs stay in the blood
for short periods. The hair?
Medicine, computing,
law, media resources...
This pinzutu is a genius.
I also read cards
and make the dead talk.
Her dress was
one size smaller than hers.
She wanted it to fit.
You don't drink all night
when you're on a diet.
And you rarely do it alone
if you're celebrating.
Another coffee?
How many have you had today?
Not enough.
So, Einstein,
do you have a theory?
She wanted to please someone.
She wasn't a U-Capu client.
She probably liked
one of the Grazianis.
She had no return ticket.
She wanted to stay.
Maybe the guy did not
share this project.
And they killed her for that?
Félix is single.
Had she bothered him,
he would have sent her off.
Facebook says Agustin
is getting married in 2 months.
There. Let's follow
that rumor in town.
Come on, not you!
They will surely
not tell you anything.
Try to find a trace
of Graziani on the ferry.
That would be smarter.
He wants to do it all.
That's good.
- Hello.
- Hello.
It's a nice town, huh?
I'm from Stretta.
In Castagniccia?
That's Pascal Paoli's town.
- Are there still tourists?
- Way too many!
I'm glad the U-Capu is there.
Graziani saved the town
with that idea.
May he rest in peace.
Well, what will you have?
A pastis. And one for you too.
- Thank you.
- Please.
Okay.
Did you see any of them
near the bar?
No. No, I didn't see them
all evening.
There's a lot of people
on the ferry, so...
Okay.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Captain.
- Good-bye.
Gentlemen.
Graziani was not nice
to his sons.
Augustin took charge
of little Félix.
The kid loves his brother
as if he were a god.
Really? That much?
Even more than that.
But they quarreled,
right here, 3 months ago.
Augustin was so drunk
that he refused to follow
his brother.
Yes, alcohol does that.
It's like a plague.
Does Augustin drink so much?
No, but he can't take much.
The other time I saw him
so drunk
was when his father put Lydia
in charge of U-Capu.
Traditionally, it's the older
son who takes over.
Hey, Firmin, will you
get me something? I'm thirsty.
Oh... Firmin.
I'll pay for that.
- You're very kind.
- No, please.
Hi, I'm Ange Renucci.
I was away from the island
and I came to see
my friend Alain Graziani.
I heard the sad news.
Something bad was bound
to happen at U-Capu.
He got a letter from la Timone
Hospital in Marseille.
One week later,
he fell off that cliff.
Do you think the two events
are related?
Coincidences don't exist.
He knew he was damned.
So, you're a psychologist.
That's what it seems.
After that letter, everything
changed at U-Capu.
I heard that Jeanne
was shattered
and cried saying
that they didn't deserve that.
Do you also make stickers?
The boss called.
Graziani received a letter
from la Timone before dying.
Was the mother's
surname Braconi?
Yes. She married 5 years
after Valérie was born.
If you were Graziani
and you found out you had
a 30 year-old daughter,
what would you do?
My favorite little sister.
- The only one. All good?
- How are you?
Va bè.
Hyacinthe will arrive at 8.
- Uncle.
- Oh! Va bè?
Stop growing up.
- Excuse me, gotta go.
- Go ahead.
Don't come home late. You know
I don't sleep when you're out.
I'm not 13 anymore.
Graziani asked for a paternity
test from la Timone.
We need to verify
it if was Valérie.
Can you call the prosecutor?
Yes, no problem.
- Do you have her number?
- No.
Hyacinthe Riccardi owns 20%
of SCP U-Capu's capital.
Could that possibly be
Renucci's godfather?
Major Criminal
The test confirmed Valérie
as Graziani's daughter.
Why do you ask?
You know everything.
He had assumed the moral duty
to set things straight.
I can imagine.
Treason, confrontation,
and the kids...
They must have been furious
to learn they had a sister.
And he fell off the cliff
just after receiving the news?
No evidence, no certainty.
But if you find some...
Hyacinthe...
You're like an older brother
to us. Almost like a father.
Now, tell me the truth.
Did you have anything to do
with Valérie's death?
You would have never
found her if I did.
You are spoiling them again.
- How are you, Hyacinthe?
- Fine, and you?
- How are you doing?
- I free people from jail.
I put them in jail
in order to give you work.
You see Léti
more than I do.
- I love to see you jealous.
- I'm not jealous.
I feel neglected, that's all.
- How's your new partner?
- He's a black Breton.
Are you okay?
Yes, fine. I just had a long day.
- Get me a fig brandy, please.
- Sure!
Excuse me.
- Renucci.
- This looks bad.
Le Tallec talked to Darcourt.
He knows about Hyacinthe.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Is the Breton bothering you?
Maybe.
Such nuisances are not good.
Let me know if he insists.
We can help him leave sooner.
Renucci, Le Tallec here.
I know it's a little early.
I'm going to the place
where Graziani fell.
I want to verify something.
What is this thing?
It's homemade fig brandy.
Luckily, I was nearby.
Otherwise, you'd be dead.
Wait, wait. I'll help you.
Where are they?
Maybe it was the Grazianis,
but we can't prove it for now.
What were you doing here
so early?
I wanted to verify
the police report.
They said he fell because
the cliff is subsiding.
But that's not possible
in this area.
Graziani knew the place
and he loved life.
A person who loves life
usually doesn't go off track.
What if he meant to give
Valérie her share?
The Grazianis would have
a motive.
They got rid of a bastard
who meant to claim her rights.
Your godfather has shares here
and you didn't mention it.
Shit!
What about the conflict
of interests?
I can't give up a case every time
I see a cousin's name
on a criminal file.
Personal and work matters
don't mix. It's called ethics.
5 years ago,
Lorenzi killed your godson
and then escaped.
You caught him,
but couldn't put him in jail,
so you beat him.
Not at all.
He turned in a weapon,
I caught him, period.
But 4 years are not
enough for you.
He did 2 years.
Is that enough for the killer
of an 11-year-old
who intends to escape
just like that?
If Lorenzi had been careful,
the kid would still be alive.
What would you have done,
from your high perspective?
Would you have forgiven him?
Lorenzi had trouble since he got out,
and you had to do with it.
You bother me, Le Tallec,
you know that?
Shit!
Sorry.
Grouper and sea bream carpaccio.
No salmon.
We don't always get grouper
when the sea is bad.
If the sea is bad,
we'll just eat meat.
What happened to you?
That doesn't concern you.
What about you?
We know about the letter
from la Timone
and about the paternity test.
Jeanne, you know we can just
ask for copies of the results.
So?
I put up with a lot
from my husband.
That bastard daughter...
I had to protect my family.
- I offered her a large sum.
- She wanted a family.
This was not her family!
I sent Augustin
to tell her that.
She was a mule.
She travelled 3 months
before the fixed date.
You know, I think your husband
didn't fall off the cliff,
I think he was pushed.
And...
I think the murderer
is here, at U-Capu.
It's the same person
who killed Valérie Anglès.
That is absurd,
Ange Renucci.
Get off my case!
We can talk here,
or at our headquarters.
- We're not accusing you...
- No!
You listen to me!
I swear by Mary, saint patron
of Corsica. I am not a killer,
and neither are my children.
But if you need to imprison me
in order to confirm that,
go ahead!
Shame on you!
My brothers didn't love him
as I did. I adored dad.
Did you know that he intended
to make you manager?
Of course not.
Had he told me,
I would have refused.
Anyways, my mother is the one
who runs everything.
Where were you when he died?
Busy with the accounting.
Alone.
- I have an appointment now.
- You'll have to postpone.
I have a search warrant.
A document was deleted 20 min
before our first visit.
But we can still recover it.
Nice picture.
Very nice emails
to your half-sister.
It was also nice of you
to have invited her over.
My father's death was a shock.
I felt very lonely.
My brothers were mad at me
and my mother hates me.
So you contacted this sister
who fell from the sky?
I hesitated at first.
But she was very happy.
So we started writing
and phoning each other.
We got along well,
as if we knew each other.
I see.
- She had a 2,000 euro watch.
- It was a birthday present.
I also sent her a dress.
I wanted her to come
so we could settle everything.
But she died.
It's not your fault.
It was a nice idea.
Did anyone else know
she was coming?
No.
You shouldn't shave and drive.
I searched. No trace
of a Graziani on the ferry.
You must have missed it.
Or you gave me a bad lead.
You shouldn't pretend
to be a hound dog.
Hey, calm down.
Check to see if there are
names registered.
Passengers, luggage...
Graziani clan members
up to the 3rd generation.
And any friends who might
hide a corpse for them.
There's one. Paul Conti.
He went and came back
on the same day.
He's a cousin by marriage
of the Graziani.
Get me his picture, quick.
How could you miss that?
Where's your sense of smell?
1,012 people in 4 hours.
My eyes were blurred.
Maybe it's your glasses.
What were you doing
on that ferry, Augustin?
Come on, cooperate a little.
Answer me.
What were you doing
on that ferry?
Your dad was right.
Lydia is the only man in the family.
I heard her speak to Valérie
on the phone.
My mother was mad because
we hadn't prevented her visit
and I knew it would get worse.
So you wanted to try
to stop Valérie.
Yes. I tried to talk to her.
What you're doing
is not right.
Oh no.
You're fooling around
with me again.
You know what?
We're going to take
a DNA sample from you
and compare it to the traces
left at the crime scene.
You better pray
for a non-match.
I'll give you just
one more chance.
After that, it'll be too late.
Acting like a coward will only
make your case worse
before the judge and your mom.
So?
What's the matter?
Talk!
At...
At 6 pm, I meant to go
talk to her.
I went to her room.
The door was open.
I went in and found her
dead on the floor.
I panicked, and escaped.
It's the truth, I swear.
It's 2:30 pm. You are under
surveillance as of right now.
You can get a lawyer,
if you want.
Very well then,
bring him to me.
I would prefer to prolong
his surveillance.
Why?
He had a motive,
he was on the ferry.
The false name proves
that it was premeditated.
Yes. But Augustin always uses
his cousin's name to travel.
It's a tradition.
I'm not interested
in your traditions.
Good. So we're even.
What does the captain think?
We should investigate more.
I'm coming.
Okay, you have 24 hours
to find a new suspect.
Thanks for the support.
I know it must have cost you.
Why? He's innocent.
Doumé, Ange here.
I need a favor.
A detail regarding
the Grazianis cell phones.
Is it unfair
that Lydia was appointed
manager of U-Capu?
Yes, it's disgusting!
She was his favorite,
so it was no surprise.
You were with your father
at the moment of his death.
Your phones were in the same
place until 4 pm.
At 4:05 pm, his signal quit,
as his phone was destroyed.
You told us you were
on this path
2 hours before that.
How can you explain this?
I had forgotten my cell phone.
I was with Augustin
when my father fell.
We were going to get stuff
for the kitchen. Ask him.
Well, I'm sure Augustin will
say the same thing as you.
It wouldn't be the first time
you two lied.
You won't be such a smartass
when I put your mother on.
She just heard everything.
You have 2 minutes to explain.
Did you really kill him?
Félix, you must tell me.
I have to know!
Why? Why...?
Why?
He had no right to humiliate
Augustin like that.
I told him so,
and he slapped me.
He slapped me, mom!
I jumped on him, and he fell
by accident. I didn't do it!
He fell.
It was an accident.
Please, mom, forgive me!
Mom!
Mom!
We really nailed that Gaul.
Don't get too excited.
Félix hasn't confessed
he killed Valérie.
Valérie? Come on, they both
planned it together.
One of them killed the father,
and the other, the sister.
Ange!
- Come, quick.
- What?
Le Tallec summoned the barman.
The toxicology revealed
that Valérie had taken GHB.
The date rape drug.
Yes. So what?
What are you trying to say?
I had nothing to do with it.
Meynard,
why didn't you send me
the toxicology report?
Le Tallec ordered it,
so I thought he'd inform you.
I'm the boss here! I'm the one
you turn results in to.
That's the problem. Capisci?
Idiot.
GHB is also used
to commit robbery.
Sure. If you say so.
- You did a year in jail.
- That's all in the past!
There have been several
robberies with you onboard.
Here, this is the list
of stolen objects.
And here is a warrant
to search your cabin.
Okay, do your job.
I sure will.
Does Darcourt know?
- Of course.
- Bastards.
Well...
Here is an allocation receipt
for two antique brooches,
at a Nice antiquarian.
They were family jewels.
Everyone needs money nowadays.
There are two brooches
on the stolen objects list.
It must be a coincidence.
I met that antiquarian
in Toulon. A madman.
He photographs everything
he receives.
You're not a murderer.
You didn't do it on purpose.
It was an accident.
You didn't mean to kill her.
Right?
She had a luxury watch
and she offered round after round.
She couldn't stop bragging
that she was a Graziani.
Those people are filthy rich.
It was a cinch, I thought.
The appetite suppressant
must have neutralized the GHB.
She started screaming.
I panicked, so I hit her
with my flashlight.
Come on, let's go.
Did you really meet
that antiquarian?
What antiquarian? No, never.
She had to die to finally
have a family.
I have nothing more to say.
Please just sign
the divorce papers.
You haven't told me
what happened to your cheek.
Bike crashed against a marker.
The marker survived.
Stop it.
- Are you in trouble?
- No.
You're wrong.
I'm on your side.
Will you nail Renucci?
Do I have a choice?
Adaptation: Eclair Group
Native of Avignon.
Apparently,
her ticket was one-way only.
Big ass. Nice lips though.
Enough, Versini.
Police! Put your hands up!
I'm Captain...
Don't move! Don't move.
Okay. Let him go.
Excuse us.
Captain Le Tallec.
You were supposed to get
here in 48 hours.
- I'm here already.
- Well, I see that.
Le Tallec will replace Filippi.
Nice welcome you gave him.
Captain. Lise Darcourt.
Prosecutor. Ready for
an anticipated service?
He just proposed that to me.
ONE-WAY TICKET
No weapon, or signs of fighting.
ONE-WAY TICKET
ONE-WAY TICKET
She still has her belongings.
This was not a robbery.
ONE-WAY TICKET
She still has her belongings.
This was not a robbery.
The captain wants to let people out.
No, the murderer is on board.
This will take the whole day.
- Well, so be it.
- No. I'm not sure.
Let's use a camera
to film all the passengers.
We'll question the most
interesting suspects.
That's a modern idea.
Will Criminology finally
change its ways?
It was about time.
Get me a camera to film
all the passengers who could...
Huh?
Tell me, did you know the job
was for Marchioni?
But he was blocked suddenly.
I get the impression you came
to welcome him.
Close the file, Renucci.
The forensic says
she died towards 3 am.
Yes. And she was dressed.
She hadn't gone to bed.
Lieutenant Versini?
Do you have an eye problem?
An eye problem?
I have 10/10 on both sides.
Sorry, it's the glasses.
They're very classy.
I mean very classy.
Well, you're in charge
of the video operation.
A black Breton. Original, huh?
"Original"?
A madman's DNA, no doubt.
One of us should have replaced
Filippi. I will not obey him.
Well, you'll have to
if you want to get promoted.
Not at all.
He'll be on his way soon.
I saw her at the bar
at around 10.
Did she stay long?
Yes. Manhattan, champagne...
She drank quite a bit.
I'm sorry about what happened.
Was she alone?
At the beginning. Then she was
with two soldiers.
What they wanted was obvious.
They finally left together,
and I didn't see them again.
Nothing else?
She gave very generous tips,
and that's not common.
It's nice to see you again.
- When is Claire coming?
- She's not.
Oh, shit.
Do you like Renucci?
Come to my office tomorrow.
I will explain everything.
I have the two soldiers,
Sargent N'Guyen
and Luc Boniface.
Based in Calvi.
True predators.
Great at morphopsychology,
Versini, huh?
The one in green is a suspect.
Well, let's get to know
their base in Calvi.
What?
Not worth it, it's broken.
- Is this your service car?
- Relax.
Ange, tell him I did
the Tour de Corse.
It's true, he did.
But he got disqualified
on the first day.
Hey, it's 11:30,
time for an aperitif.
- Are you kidding?
- No. Aperitifs are essential.
Hey, Pierrot!
What's up? Paris police,
just in time. Va bè?
Va bè.
This is Captain Le Tallec.
Pierrot, my friend.
"Le Tallec"? Don't tell me
you're a real Breton.
I am, 100%.
- Pierrot, how are you?
- Va bè.
- I took your wine.
- Do you make deliveries?
No. It's a friendly exchange.
It's a tradition here.
Don't you do it?
Come on, let's toast.
Come on, we'll open a bottle
of rosé, as usual.
I'll just have some sausage
and a little water.
- Saint-Georges or...?
- Just water.
Yes but with bubbles
or without?
One carafe.
Okay.
Okay. Thanks. Yes.
Ange, hear this.
Before leaving Toulon,
Le Tallec told the IGS
to investigate his boss.
Darcourt's plan is
easy to guess.
Don't worry.
I'm too tough for her.
And for him as well.
The pause is over.
We have two free suspects.
- We're staying for lunch.
- Yes.
Grilled seabass
with fennel and tarragon.
It's the best on the island.
Really?
Yes.
Well!
Our soldiers are in custody
and there's just one road.
And we secured the truck,
so we can have our seabass.
I'm leaving. Enjoy.
What are you doing?
The Breton only thinks
about work.
- He can't leave in my car.
- No, he won't, come on...
What are you doing?
Le Tallec!
Fuck!
Hello, I'm...
Okay.
Hello, I'm Captain Le Tallec,
the new...
Okay. Thank you.
The soldiers went with her,
but she was too drunk.
They went back to their cabin
for some more drinks.
At the time of the crime,
a steward was with them.
Oh! No hard feelings.
Never again.
You may not take my car!
Never do that again.
Okay, Le Tallec, enough.
Are you satisfied now?
This has been your first
and last hour of glory.
Do you understand?
Okay. But please spare me
your Corse apprentice.
This is called magagne.
It's the national sport here.
People make fun of each other.
You'll have to get used to it.
Yes.
Oh, it's Doumé.
Doumé, I'll put you
on loudspeaker.
Anglès taught computing.
No family, nothing strange
at her place,
but she had quit her job
and her house is for sale.
Looks like a farewell.
Thanks, Doumé.
That, plus the one-way ticket.
She wanted a change of life.
I requested
her phone call register.
It's like falling a tree by hand.
They take their time.
Well, shall we eat?
I really am hungry!
The Breton's first jailed suspect
was Van Damme,
the Roubaix rapist, remember?
Of course! The bastard raped
8 little girls in 7 months.
In any case, that confirms
he's a good policeman, right?
Yes, exactly. If he's here
to replace you, I see danger.
Valérie Anglès' phone record.
I also have friends myself.
She called the U-Capu a lot.
A luxury hotel.
Thanks.
Well, let's go.
Shit!
He's such a pain.
U-Capu is a famous hotel
for tourists.
Her father, Alain Graziani,
created this paradise.
Alain Graziani fell off
a cliff six months ago.
A priori, that has nothing
to do with our story.
"A priori"? Are you sure
or do you just think so?
Ange Renucci!
It's been ages.
Hyacinthe, va bè?
Va bè, Jeanne. Thanks.
Sorry, but we're closed.
- Do you know this woman?
- No.
My daughter is the one
who deals with clients. Come.
No, wait.
Wait. Don't play
all your cards yet.
Let's observe. Listen.
Listen to what,
if they say nothing?
Miss Anglès called in June
and a few other times.
30 calls in 3 months.
U-Capu called her 15 times.
She changed her mind
all the time.
A drag. There's someone
like that every season.
She will bother you no more.
She's dead.
- And... what happened?
- A bad encounter.
She was killed on the ferry.
- Did you know she was coming?
- Of course not.
Why would she have?
- Did you know her?
- No. I've never seen her.
And you?
Listen, my job here
is to cook. Understood?
I don't know her. Go talk
to my sister, she's the boss.
Enough. We can go on now.
There's no potence de la mer
anymore?
No, we stopped.
Why?
Everyone does it nowadays.
There are beach bars.
What a shame. What a shame!
Valérie got her head smashed
in the ferry last night.
Where were you then?
We were both over there.
We had a meeting with my mom
and Lydia.
Ask them.
What a practical alibi.
You four are here alone.
The fact that they hide stuff
doesn't make them murderers.
It's a tradition not to tell
the police anything.
- Angelini, Captain Le Tallec.
- Pleasure.
You just got some luggage.
- Toussaint.
- Yes?
Find a connection between
the Grazianis and the victim.
- Isn't that my job?
- Yes. Stay calm.
Valérie carried a laptop.
Password protected.
The ribbon is in Marseille
and you want me to hack it?
Yes.
I'm Vissac. I will be
your defendant, Mr. M'Bollé.
Come with me,
let's verify the facts.
You were harassed by policemen
who contested your Burkinabe
residence permit.
- When did you come to France?
- 30 years ago.
I was born in Burkina Fasso
but I'm from Bretagne.
M'Bollé is not too Breton.
I use my original surname
because it makes it easier
to find work.
- Are you kidding me?
- No, no.
There's a Burkinave proverb
that says:
"Before you go pull
a panther's whiskers,
"make sure
she has eaten well."
Excuse me, you have
something right... here.
You don't have any scars.
Did they hit you
in the stomach?
We'll add that to the dossier.
It's important.
Should I leave you my number?
I will take yours.
Now...
Captain Le Tallec?
The prosecutor is waiting.
I'm coming.
The Grazianis are not clear.
I need a warrant to search
the U-Capu computers.
No problem.
I trust your intuition.
Tell Renucci that.
Why? Is he investigating
alone and isolated?
He breaks the rules
and he keeps bad company.
His godfather is a gangster,
his sister is a nationalist,
and his brother in law
blew up a police station.
He thinks you appointed me
to replace him.
- Why?
- He's a murderer.
Blanchi can count on Marchioni
for anything.
I will not investigate
my own boss.
It's a real pity.
For everyone.
What do you mean?
If a lawyer found out
that you falsified the report
to arrest that rapist,
you could be in a lot of trouble.
Van Damme is a predator.
Here.
Take a look.
Well, there you go.
A little hostel.
It's actually the Ritz, but here is
where new people stay.
It belongs to Versini's uncle.
I'll sleep with my gun.
I understand your defensive
attitude after Toulon.
But, you know...?
I have a rather good team,
and I'd like to keep it.
Let me do my job.
What is your problem?
Am I too continental? Too black?
No, don't give me that.
Don't give me that.
The post was for Marchioni.
Darcourt blocked everything
and you arrived. Get it?
If I got a little suspicious,
I could ask myself whether
you came here to investigate
or replace me, like you did
with your old boss.
He was a crook, okay?
He wanted to keep me
from sending two guys to jail
after they killed
a homeless person.
There's no problem then.
We don't kill the homeless.
Here.
You'll get the report
by mail tonight.
Thanks.
Divorce document
Hello? It's me.
I got the divorce document.
We have to talk.
When will the others arrive?
The morning briefing
is always in Tony's office.
Plus, he makes tons
of canistrelli. Hi, Ange.
So?
Was it hard to get up
this morning, Captain?
I thought you would
skip the autopsy.
Did you manage
to hack that computer?
No, not yet.
She was a computing teacher.
Yes, so...?
I'm working on it.
Good.
Doctor Meynard.
I'm from Bergerac.
My wife is Corsican.
My sons speak Corsican, but...
To them, I'm a pinzutu.
Welcome to the club.
Okay.
A blow on the temple
with a black metal object, it seems.
I sent everything express
to Marseille.
"Express" means 10 days.
- Did she defend herself?
- No, I don't think so.
She had too much alcohol
in her blood: 1.8 gr.
- What about the toxicology?
- Vertex, to suppress hunger.
Some people take it to stay
awake, but she was dieting.
Some drugs stay in the blood
for short periods. The hair?
Medicine, computing,
law, media resources...
This pinzutu is a genius.
I also read cards
and make the dead talk.
Her dress was
one size smaller than hers.
She wanted it to fit.
You don't drink all night
when you're on a diet.
And you rarely do it alone
if you're celebrating.
Another coffee?
How many have you had today?
Not enough.
So, Einstein,
do you have a theory?
She wanted to please someone.
She wasn't a U-Capu client.
She probably liked
one of the Grazianis.
She had no return ticket.
She wanted to stay.
Maybe the guy did not
share this project.
And they killed her for that?
Félix is single.
Had she bothered him,
he would have sent her off.
Facebook says Agustin
is getting married in 2 months.
There. Let's follow
that rumor in town.
Come on, not you!
They will surely
not tell you anything.
Try to find a trace
of Graziani on the ferry.
That would be smarter.
He wants to do it all.
That's good.
- Hello.
- Hello.
It's a nice town, huh?
I'm from Stretta.
In Castagniccia?
That's Pascal Paoli's town.
- Are there still tourists?
- Way too many!
I'm glad the U-Capu is there.
Graziani saved the town
with that idea.
May he rest in peace.
Well, what will you have?
A pastis. And one for you too.
- Thank you.
- Please.
Okay.
Did you see any of them
near the bar?
No. No, I didn't see them
all evening.
There's a lot of people
on the ferry, so...
Okay.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Captain.
- Good-bye.
Gentlemen.
Graziani was not nice
to his sons.
Augustin took charge
of little Félix.
The kid loves his brother
as if he were a god.
Really? That much?
Even more than that.
But they quarreled,
right here, 3 months ago.
Augustin was so drunk
that he refused to follow
his brother.
Yes, alcohol does that.
It's like a plague.
Does Augustin drink so much?
No, but he can't take much.
The other time I saw him
so drunk
was when his father put Lydia
in charge of U-Capu.
Traditionally, it's the older
son who takes over.
Hey, Firmin, will you
get me something? I'm thirsty.
Oh... Firmin.
I'll pay for that.
- You're very kind.
- No, please.
Hi, I'm Ange Renucci.
I was away from the island
and I came to see
my friend Alain Graziani.
I heard the sad news.
Something bad was bound
to happen at U-Capu.
He got a letter from la Timone
Hospital in Marseille.
One week later,
he fell off that cliff.
Do you think the two events
are related?
Coincidences don't exist.
He knew he was damned.
So, you're a psychologist.
That's what it seems.
After that letter, everything
changed at U-Capu.
I heard that Jeanne
was shattered
and cried saying
that they didn't deserve that.
Do you also make stickers?
The boss called.
Graziani received a letter
from la Timone before dying.
Was the mother's
surname Braconi?
Yes. She married 5 years
after Valérie was born.
If you were Graziani
and you found out you had
a 30 year-old daughter,
what would you do?
My favorite little sister.
- The only one. All good?
- How are you?
Va bè.
Hyacinthe will arrive at 8.
- Uncle.
- Oh! Va bè?
Stop growing up.
- Excuse me, gotta go.
- Go ahead.
Don't come home late. You know
I don't sleep when you're out.
I'm not 13 anymore.
Graziani asked for a paternity
test from la Timone.
We need to verify
it if was Valérie.
Can you call the prosecutor?
Yes, no problem.
- Do you have her number?
- No.
Hyacinthe Riccardi owns 20%
of SCP U-Capu's capital.
Could that possibly be
Renucci's godfather?
Major Criminal
The test confirmed Valérie
as Graziani's daughter.
Why do you ask?
You know everything.
He had assumed the moral duty
to set things straight.
I can imagine.
Treason, confrontation,
and the kids...
They must have been furious
to learn they had a sister.
And he fell off the cliff
just after receiving the news?
No evidence, no certainty.
But if you find some...
Hyacinthe...
You're like an older brother
to us. Almost like a father.
Now, tell me the truth.
Did you have anything to do
with Valérie's death?
You would have never
found her if I did.
You are spoiling them again.
- How are you, Hyacinthe?
- Fine, and you?
- How are you doing?
- I free people from jail.
I put them in jail
in order to give you work.
You see Léti
more than I do.
- I love to see you jealous.
- I'm not jealous.
I feel neglected, that's all.
- How's your new partner?
- He's a black Breton.
Are you okay?
Yes, fine. I just had a long day.
- Get me a fig brandy, please.
- Sure!
Excuse me.
- Renucci.
- This looks bad.
Le Tallec talked to Darcourt.
He knows about Hyacinthe.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Is the Breton bothering you?
Maybe.
Such nuisances are not good.
Let me know if he insists.
We can help him leave sooner.
Renucci, Le Tallec here.
I know it's a little early.
I'm going to the place
where Graziani fell.
I want to verify something.
What is this thing?
It's homemade fig brandy.
Luckily, I was nearby.
Otherwise, you'd be dead.
Wait, wait. I'll help you.
Where are they?
Maybe it was the Grazianis,
but we can't prove it for now.
What were you doing here
so early?
I wanted to verify
the police report.
They said he fell because
the cliff is subsiding.
But that's not possible
in this area.
Graziani knew the place
and he loved life.
A person who loves life
usually doesn't go off track.
What if he meant to give
Valérie her share?
The Grazianis would have
a motive.
They got rid of a bastard
who meant to claim her rights.
Your godfather has shares here
and you didn't mention it.
Shit!
What about the conflict
of interests?
I can't give up a case every time
I see a cousin's name
on a criminal file.
Personal and work matters
don't mix. It's called ethics.
5 years ago,
Lorenzi killed your godson
and then escaped.
You caught him,
but couldn't put him in jail,
so you beat him.
Not at all.
He turned in a weapon,
I caught him, period.
But 4 years are not
enough for you.
He did 2 years.
Is that enough for the killer
of an 11-year-old
who intends to escape
just like that?
If Lorenzi had been careful,
the kid would still be alive.
What would you have done,
from your high perspective?
Would you have forgiven him?
Lorenzi had trouble since he got out,
and you had to do with it.
You bother me, Le Tallec,
you know that?
Shit!
Sorry.
Grouper and sea bream carpaccio.
No salmon.
We don't always get grouper
when the sea is bad.
If the sea is bad,
we'll just eat meat.
What happened to you?
That doesn't concern you.
What about you?
We know about the letter
from la Timone
and about the paternity test.
Jeanne, you know we can just
ask for copies of the results.
So?
I put up with a lot
from my husband.
That bastard daughter...
I had to protect my family.
- I offered her a large sum.
- She wanted a family.
This was not her family!
I sent Augustin
to tell her that.
She was a mule.
She travelled 3 months
before the fixed date.
You know, I think your husband
didn't fall off the cliff,
I think he was pushed.
And...
I think the murderer
is here, at U-Capu.
It's the same person
who killed Valérie Anglès.
That is absurd,
Ange Renucci.
Get off my case!
We can talk here,
or at our headquarters.
- We're not accusing you...
- No!
You listen to me!
I swear by Mary, saint patron
of Corsica. I am not a killer,
and neither are my children.
But if you need to imprison me
in order to confirm that,
go ahead!
Shame on you!
My brothers didn't love him
as I did. I adored dad.
Did you know that he intended
to make you manager?
Of course not.
Had he told me,
I would have refused.
Anyways, my mother is the one
who runs everything.
Where were you when he died?
Busy with the accounting.
Alone.
- I have an appointment now.
- You'll have to postpone.
I have a search warrant.
A document was deleted 20 min
before our first visit.
But we can still recover it.
Nice picture.
Very nice emails
to your half-sister.
It was also nice of you
to have invited her over.
My father's death was a shock.
I felt very lonely.
My brothers were mad at me
and my mother hates me.
So you contacted this sister
who fell from the sky?
I hesitated at first.
But she was very happy.
So we started writing
and phoning each other.
We got along well,
as if we knew each other.
I see.
- She had a 2,000 euro watch.
- It was a birthday present.
I also sent her a dress.
I wanted her to come
so we could settle everything.
But she died.
It's not your fault.
It was a nice idea.
Did anyone else know
she was coming?
No.
You shouldn't shave and drive.
I searched. No trace
of a Graziani on the ferry.
You must have missed it.
Or you gave me a bad lead.
You shouldn't pretend
to be a hound dog.
Hey, calm down.
Check to see if there are
names registered.
Passengers, luggage...
Graziani clan members
up to the 3rd generation.
And any friends who might
hide a corpse for them.
There's one. Paul Conti.
He went and came back
on the same day.
He's a cousin by marriage
of the Graziani.
Get me his picture, quick.
How could you miss that?
Where's your sense of smell?
1,012 people in 4 hours.
My eyes were blurred.
Maybe it's your glasses.
What were you doing
on that ferry, Augustin?
Come on, cooperate a little.
Answer me.
What were you doing
on that ferry?
Your dad was right.
Lydia is the only man in the family.
I heard her speak to Valérie
on the phone.
My mother was mad because
we hadn't prevented her visit
and I knew it would get worse.
So you wanted to try
to stop Valérie.
Yes. I tried to talk to her.
What you're doing
is not right.
Oh no.
You're fooling around
with me again.
You know what?
We're going to take
a DNA sample from you
and compare it to the traces
left at the crime scene.
You better pray
for a non-match.
I'll give you just
one more chance.
After that, it'll be too late.
Acting like a coward will only
make your case worse
before the judge and your mom.
So?
What's the matter?
Talk!
At...
At 6 pm, I meant to go
talk to her.
I went to her room.
The door was open.
I went in and found her
dead on the floor.
I panicked, and escaped.
It's the truth, I swear.
It's 2:30 pm. You are under
surveillance as of right now.
You can get a lawyer,
if you want.
Very well then,
bring him to me.
I would prefer to prolong
his surveillance.
Why?
He had a motive,
he was on the ferry.
The false name proves
that it was premeditated.
Yes. But Augustin always uses
his cousin's name to travel.
It's a tradition.
I'm not interested
in your traditions.
Good. So we're even.
What does the captain think?
We should investigate more.
I'm coming.
Okay, you have 24 hours
to find a new suspect.
Thanks for the support.
I know it must have cost you.
Why? He's innocent.
Doumé, Ange here.
I need a favor.
A detail regarding
the Grazianis cell phones.
Is it unfair
that Lydia was appointed
manager of U-Capu?
Yes, it's disgusting!
She was his favorite,
so it was no surprise.
You were with your father
at the moment of his death.
Your phones were in the same
place until 4 pm.
At 4:05 pm, his signal quit,
as his phone was destroyed.
You told us you were
on this path
2 hours before that.
How can you explain this?
I had forgotten my cell phone.
I was with Augustin
when my father fell.
We were going to get stuff
for the kitchen. Ask him.
Well, I'm sure Augustin will
say the same thing as you.
It wouldn't be the first time
you two lied.
You won't be such a smartass
when I put your mother on.
She just heard everything.
You have 2 minutes to explain.
Did you really kill him?
Félix, you must tell me.
I have to know!
Why? Why...?
Why?
He had no right to humiliate
Augustin like that.
I told him so,
and he slapped me.
He slapped me, mom!
I jumped on him, and he fell
by accident. I didn't do it!
He fell.
It was an accident.
Please, mom, forgive me!
Mom!
Mom!
We really nailed that Gaul.
Don't get too excited.
Félix hasn't confessed
he killed Valérie.
Valérie? Come on, they both
planned it together.
One of them killed the father,
and the other, the sister.
Ange!
- Come, quick.
- What?
Le Tallec summoned the barman.
The toxicology revealed
that Valérie had taken GHB.
The date rape drug.
Yes. So what?
What are you trying to say?
I had nothing to do with it.
Meynard,
why didn't you send me
the toxicology report?
Le Tallec ordered it,
so I thought he'd inform you.
I'm the boss here! I'm the one
you turn results in to.
That's the problem. Capisci?
Idiot.
GHB is also used
to commit robbery.
Sure. If you say so.
- You did a year in jail.
- That's all in the past!
There have been several
robberies with you onboard.
Here, this is the list
of stolen objects.
And here is a warrant
to search your cabin.
Okay, do your job.
I sure will.
Does Darcourt know?
- Of course.
- Bastards.
Well...
Here is an allocation receipt
for two antique brooches,
at a Nice antiquarian.
They were family jewels.
Everyone needs money nowadays.
There are two brooches
on the stolen objects list.
It must be a coincidence.
I met that antiquarian
in Toulon. A madman.
He photographs everything
he receives.
You're not a murderer.
You didn't do it on purpose.
It was an accident.
You didn't mean to kill her.
Right?
She had a luxury watch
and she offered round after round.
She couldn't stop bragging
that she was a Graziani.
Those people are filthy rich.
It was a cinch, I thought.
The appetite suppressant
must have neutralized the GHB.
She started screaming.
I panicked, so I hit her
with my flashlight.
Come on, let's go.
Did you really meet
that antiquarian?
What antiquarian? No, never.
She had to die to finally
have a family.
I have nothing more to say.
Please just sign
the divorce papers.
You haven't told me
what happened to your cheek.
Bike crashed against a marker.
The marker survived.
Stop it.
- Are you in trouble?
- No.
You're wrong.
I'm on your side.
Will you nail Renucci?
Do I have a choice?
