Duel au soleil (2014): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

Oh, shit.

DUEL IN THE SUN

Barthé!

Barthé, are you there?

Barthé?

Yes, Le Tallec?

I'm coming.

Joël Pietri, chief of security.

- No record. Single.
- Whiplash...

On the edge of the table,

between 6 and 8 PM.
He has cuts to the head.



- He didn't just fall.
- I confirm that.

Bruises on his face and
defensive wounds on his arms.

The young man called us.

Ludovic Desrosiers.

His parents, Parisians,
rented the villa.

He doesn't remember anything.

Not even where he got those
marks on his face and arms.

Do you remember Joël Pietri,
the deceased?

RoboCop? No.

No.

You don't remember the blows?

Maybe you had a fight,
I don't know.

I didn't kill anybody.

What's the last thing
you remember?



I was... at Ève's...

The villa next door,
at a pool party.

What did you take there?

You certainly took drugs.

We'll conduct a toxicological
test to find out.

Yeah, yeah...

Someone brought some stuff,
but I don't know who...

or what it was, I swear.

I don't remember.

I think it's what you call
a "bad trip."

It's always a "bad trip."

- Really?
- Yes.

Shit...!

Could I have killed him?

Oh, shit...

Ménard?

Please compare the DNA
in these two hairs.

Same person?

I could do that myself!

I want to know if there's
a blood relationship.

It's urgent.

It's personal.

I'll buy you dinner at Maki.

Thanks.

Do you know who Ludovic
Desrosiers' parents are?

Rich pinzuti who rent villas
for 5,000 euros a week.

- 10,000 euros a week.
- Yes.

Desrosiers is very powerful...

"Be very discreet
with this investigation."

With all due respect,
Prosecutor, ma'am,

you're very predictable.

Well... are you coming?

I think I'll need a translator.

Hey!

Come on, get up!

The party is over!

You obviously saw or heard nothing.

The music was too loud.

And too "up"?

It's "high."

Right.

Ève, RoboCop was killed
yesterday at Ludo's.

That's okay.
One less pervert on Earth.

Always checking chicks out.

- You don't hide anything!
- My body is not to be hidden.

Do you also not know
what happened next door?

No, but I really would have
loved to help you.

Was Ludovic here
between 6 and 8 PM?

We have some selfies.

Does he look like a murderer?

Taken between 6 and 8 PM.
He wasn't high yet.

That was before I took him home.
He was drunk.

He fell in the garden.

Did you put him
on that floating mattress?

Yeah! I would have loved
to see him this morning.

Oh yeah, it's true.
Oh yeah, yeah...

Yes, this is very funny.

He could have drowned,
and you laugh.

Well, enough nonsense.

Fingerprints.

- Are we suspects?
- Yes!

No, come on.
I'll call my father.

How about if I call him

to suggest he get you a lawyer?

I'll arrest you for drug use
and irresponsibility.

You can't do that!

Yes, I can!

I'm taking all your cell phones.

Hand them over!

And I want the names
of all your guests!

Is that clear?

- Yes.
- Thank you!

- I wouldn't have done that.
- No? Why not?

Was he a threat to someone?

Not in particular.

But dealing with rich pinzutu
that treat you like shit

can make you want to kill.

Pietri was very reliable,
very professional.

It's incomprehensible.

Really?

Well, some clients complained
that he "was a pervert."

A security chief is there
to oversee and observe...

So he checked them out,
but just professionally?

They're all like that.

But daddy's girls and boys
get away with everything.

The music was loud from 2 PM.

Could Pietri have called
their attention...?

Our job is to clean up
after those silly idiots,

not to call their attention!

Although they'd deserve it!

When did you last see him?

At around 6 PM, after our meeting.

Did he say he was going
to Ludo's place?

Speak to me, okay?

We had some burglaries.

Villas were visited
and objects disappeared:

Money, watches...

- Did you report them?
- No.

We're suposed to keep
our clients at peace.

Pietri had noticed that these
things happened at night.

They even had a suspect.

So they stashed everything
at the Desrosiers'?

I think he got there
looking for the robber.

Ludovic was robbed yesterday.

He's missing money,
a chain bracelet,

and a designer purse.

So Pietri caught the robber,

things got out of hand,
but the guy escaped?

Watch the surveillance videos.

With the Breton.
We'll go to the house.

Go on!

Are you okay?
You look horrible.

Thanks for the compliment.

Little sleep. I'm fine.

Stop lying.

I said I'm fine.

Are you my babysitter?

I'm coming!

I hope your colleague
doesn't make a mess.

- My Joël wouldn't like it.
- Don't worry.

He'll take all the necessary
precautions.

Joël and you were very close, right?

Yes. How do you know that?

Well, a 30-year-old man
who still lives with his mom...

I mean...

Did he have friends
or girlfriends...?

He was a loner.

He was totally devoted to his job.

In the last few weeks,

he must have seemed worried
about something, huh?

- No?
- No.

So he was...

serious, active, passionate.

- Ever want to be a policeman?
- It was his dream.

He tried to get in 3 times.

But he failed.

Yes.

Did he say why?

He just told me they had
found him too sensitive.

He was perhaps too gentle
for your occupation.

He was an angel, you know?

I'm sure he was.

So we have "the big chicken,"
"the Ukrainian whore,"

"the convertible idiot,"
"the rich bitch,"

"Brice de Nice," and
"Lolita in the white glasses."

He was a real poet!

Be nice and go back to your videos.

Thank you.

What about his tests
to enter the police?

He's described as...

"obsessional, with a feeling
of great power."

So, a guy
that shouldn't carry a weapon.

If we find his suspect,
we might have our murderer.

The selfies tell us
that Ludovic is innocent.

They found 2 unknown fingerprints.

We need fingerprints
from everybody:

Residents, staff, guests,
those who came with them...

We'll show them pictures
to identify the others.

Hey, I have something!

Desrosiers Villa surveillance.
Pietri got there at 6:12 PM.

He crossed the garden.
It's a private space, so...

no images.

And...

She arrived at 6:52...

and left at 7:11.

She was there for 19 minutes.

She's the one Pietri called
"the Ukranian whore."

You were at the Desrosiers
villa yesterday at 6:52,

correct?

I just brought in a shirt
from the dry-cleaner's.

And it took you 20 minutes
to drop it off?

If I don't tidy up,
the client might complain.

So I tidied up.

It was a mess in there.

Did you see Mr. Pietri?

The villa was empty.

Is this your son?

Yes.

He's in the Ukraine,
with my mother.

I want to bring him here.

Didn't you see anyone

at the Desrosiers' yesterday?

Did you notice anything strange?

But you know things
have been stolen at Paradisu.

Yes.

I didn't steal anything.
I'm clean!

But these perfumes...
are quite expensive.

What about this?

Where did you get it?

A client gave it to me.
She never wore it.

What is that client's name?

Ève.

And... Joël Pietri...

what kind of colleague was he?

Kind... attentive.

Really? With you?

Did you know he suspected you?

This is a false residence permit.

Please... I'm innocent!

I don't want to go back to Ukraine.

I beg you.

What are you doing?

Get dressed.

I'm investigating.

I don't care about your papers.

- Will you not turn me in?
- Get dressed, I said.

And sit down.

So, this one, this one,
and this one.

Yes, I gave all these
to the cleaning lady.

Is that a crime?

Since you're here, you could
help us identify these people.

Okay, with the condition

that you accept to have
dinner with me tonight.

I wasn't in my normal state.
I want you to forgive me.

Listen...

I hate machos who think
that all women are theirs,

and women who think they can
go to bed with anyone.

You're wrong, inspector.

I always end up getting what I want.

So maybe you could help us

to identify the people
on these photos?

What if I refuse?

What will I be accused of?

Obstructing justice?

Would you handcuff me, inspector?

I was a very bad girl,
mister policeman.

Punish me...

Uh, Le Tallec?

Are you coming?

- Ménard is waiting.
- I'm coming.

Versini, take his place.

I have handcuffs too.

Thank me later.

I didn't need help.

Oh, I know, of course not...

Irina's fingerprints are the same

as the ones found
at the crime scene.

Your client had intercourse
shortly before he died.

There's blood
on his pubic hair.

A rape? That would match
his psychological profile.

There are marks and scratches
on his arms and torso.

The victim tried
to defend herself.

It could have been violent,
with consent.

Given the coagulation stage,

the intercourse must have
happened shortly before death.

About an hour before.

An hour before,
Pietri was at a meeting.

It must have happened
at the Desrosiers'.

He hid in there.

Let's say Pietri
surprised the robber,

raped her...

And she defended herself.

What about the cleaning lady?

That would explain
that 20-minute lapse.

What does the blood say?

It belongs to someone
of the O- group.

Oh!

Would you mind calling Marchioni?

Ask him to bring Irina back.

Tell me.

Any results for me yet?

- Yes.
- Yes?

What?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Did you have intercourse
with Pietri yesterday?

Of course not!
Who do you think I am?

You offered to do it with me

to avoid being deported.

I panicked, that's all.

You speak French very well.

Where did you learn it?

I was a French teacher in Odessa.

So you understand the term
"legitimate defense."

You don't have to be scared.

Rape is an attenuating circumstance.

Yes.

But he didn't rape me,
and I didn't kill him.

We're going to need
to draw a blood sample.

- Yes?
- Can you come?

Pietri...

on another surveillance video
from the same day.

Look at the time...

- 7:23 PM.
- Yes.

Irina left at 7:11.

This reduces the time span.

So Pietri was killed
between 7:23 and 8 PM.

So Irina is innocent, but...

check her blood anyways.

The rape...

or the "torrid intercourse,"
excuse me...

and the murder could be
two distinct matters.

- Who haven't we interrogated?
- Lolita with the white glasses.

One Bethany Larue,
who was at Ève's party.

But... she doesn't exist.

She doesn't have a record...

All I have is a personal site.

Bethany?

If she's addicted to social media,
I'll find her.

What?

Oh, yes!

How are you?

- Having a hard time?
- You again?

Yes, again and always.

I'm pretty tenacious.

Where is your colleague,
the black knockout?

I came with my friend
Toussaint today.

He's a Corsican pureblood.

- You like variety.
- No, thanks.

- Well, uh... Do you know her?
- She's around often.

Where can I find her?

- I don't know.
- You don't?

She told me she was staying
at a hotel near the beach.

I'm not sure.

Ask the manager.

He knows her.
He's a friend of her father's.

Okay, I'll do that.

Yes?

Irina is A+, not O-.

She did not have
intercourse with Pietri.

Thanks, Ménard.

- Toussaint.
- Yes?

Do you still have that friend
at the prefecture?

Didier?
We often fish together.

Could you push
Irina's file a bit...

so she gets her residence permit?

- Oh yes, sure.
- Okay.

Okay.

Well, we're leaving.
Take it easy.

Ciao ciao...

Don't get smart on me.

Ciao!

Who's going to Maquis-Plage tonight?
See you there!

There we go.

Is it hard for you to answer?

You keep avoiding me
and don't answer my calls.

I needed to think.

I understand your being mad.

- Hyacinthe wanted to save...
- Save his son?

By taking my son away?

By taking away the woman
that I loved?

By making me believe
his son was dead? Anna!

He didn't know I was pregnant.

He was brave to do that.

I imagine it cost him, too.

Ange, you cannot say
that Barthé is your son.

Here.

- What is it?
- It's a DNA test.

Ange, shit...

Well, whatever the result,

for Barthé, you are not his father.

Mom!

Pierre brought him up.

Bati and Léti invited us over
for my birthday tomorrow.

That's not a good idea.

- My mom is great with that.
- And I insist.

Okay, okay.

Thanks, Léti.

Oh, what a surprise!
Great to see you.

- Welcome.
- I want Bethany Larue.

Really? What bad taste.

I can assure you
you might want to change.

You're making me waste time.

Bethany is at the same
table with me.

She'll be here soon.

Come.

What are you scared of?
I won't rape you...

This way, mister policeman.

Well, let's talk about us.

- Listen, you're cute...
- Thank you.

But you're a witness
in my investigation,

so there's no "us"
and I won't sleep with you.

Let it be clear.

No, stop. Stop!

I'll find Bethany without you.

Good evening.

Have you seen this woman?

No, not yet,
but she will be here soon.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I was rude.

I'm on vacation and wanted
to forget about everything.

The glass of peace.

- No grudges?
- Sure, no grudge.

What am I doing here?

Hello, Ménard?

Yes, it's Le Tallec.

I need something urgently.

A toxicological analysis.

Okay, I'm on my way.
Thanks.

Shit...

I'm here, I'm here.

What did you do, Le Tallec?

- I had to...
- I mean last night.

What did you do last night?

You were seen with Ève.

She's a case witness.

This is not pretty.
And what is this?

Can you explain?

I know the rules.

Where does it say in the rules

that you can get drunk
with a witness?

Nothing happened, I tell you.
What's your problem?

I have no problem, Le Tallec.

But Bethany just posted
that photo on the Internet.

Darcourt could remove you
from the case, you know.

But, luckily for you,
I have friends.

That's Bethany Larue.

She's a teenager!

Bethany Larue?

Chief Renucci.

Captain Le Tallec.

We must interrogate you.
Come with us.

I don't want to.
Interrogate me here.

We can't do that.

But we could handcuff you.

I'm fed up with you rich girls
who think you own everyone.

Right hand.

I feel like I'm on TV.

Well, almost.

Name, age and address.

Bethany Larue, I'm 19.

Your name is not registered.

My father is American.

Speak in English.

Your fingerprints turned up
at a crime scene.

- Cool! Who did I kill?
- Joël Pietri.

The chief of security
at the Paradisu.

I don't frequent guards.

Really? You better stop
playing smart with us.

He took this picture.

Oh. He was a pervert.

I thought you didn't know him.

Here is what happened.

He caught you stealing
at Ludovic's, right?

Are you mad?

I'm not a robber.
My father is rich.

My purse costs half your salary.

Why were your fingerprints
at Ludovic's house?

I was bored at Ève's party,

and I got there by chance.

I went in out of curiosity,
but I didn't steal anything.

What's this?
Did Pietri do this to you?

So you defended yourself,

he fell too hard...

It's called legitimate defense

and the judge

can take that into account.

Miss, I know how humiliating
a rape can be.

It takes courage to acknowledge it.

What was your name again?

I'll tell my father about this
and it'll cost you.

Enough. Let's see
who you really are.

Password?

Hello?

No, she can't answer,
she's in the ER.

Do you have her parents' number?

Yes, I'm listening.

Yes, thanks.

"Émilie Fiori" is a nice name.
Why the pseudonym?

- You won't understand.
- I won't understand?

You're wrong.

She's not a criminal.
She's only 16.

Unfortunately, these are not
mutually excluding.

Designer brands!

Some of these were stolen
at the Paradisu.

This bag,

for example.

It was stolen at Ludovic Desrosiers'.

What does that mean?

We gave you 250-euro glasses
for your birthday.

Was that not enough?

- Isn't that a nice gift?
- It's that Chris' fault.

- He's made her do all that.
- Who's Chris?

- Tell them!
- Stop that!

He's a moron.
It was all my idea.

Who is that Chris?

- He's her boyfriend.
- He's a loser.

- I thought you were in love.
- What do you know?

Nothing!

You're always too busy with work.

I don't want to be
a nobody like you!

I want to be a star!
I want to be looked at.

You've never understood me.

I hate you!

Émilie's bood group matches
the blood found on Pietri.

And the exam?

She has lesions.
So, yes, she was raped.

There's something else.

She was a virgin.

So...?

Are you happy now?
Do you have what you wanted?

Come here.

I have the results
from your blood analysis.

By the way...

don't ask me for more
personal services.

Your blood had a mixture
of GHB and Viagra.

Sorry.

Pietri caught me stealing.

I threw a bottle at him,
but I missed.

He hit me.

He told me we could settle it
if I had sex with him.

So we did. That's all.

End of story.

The problem, you see,
is that I don't believe you.

I don't believe you.

Excuse me. Renucci?

What?

She can't be interrogated
without a lawyer.

We won't be able to do
anything later.

Listen...

we found marks of blows

on Pietri's torso.

But you say you remained passive.
So...?

I fought.

I didn't want to do it.

But he wouldn't listen.

They say you remember
your first time all your life.

I certainly won't forget mine.

Can we meet Chris,
your ex-boyfriend?

He's a gardener at the Paradisu.

At the beginning,
she came while I worked.

She came to the pool...

We kind of got it on,
and it was fun.

She started ignoring me
when she met those idiots.

Did you know she was
stealing things?

I might have been accused
of complicity,

like you're doing.

- Pietri caught her.
- And raped her.

So we thought she might have
killed him to defend herself.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Pietri was a bad guy.

She acts all self-sufficient,
but Émilie is just a kid.

Where were you on Monday
at 8 PM?

Why?

Maybe you still love Émilie

and lost your head when you
found out what happened.

- It's only human.
- I didn't kill him.

He's was a pig,
but I didn't do it.

I was here on Monday.

- Working.
- Can anyone confirm that?

Let's talk about it at the station.

- Come on.
- Okay.

Hey, wait!

Oh, it's the gardener!

Let's film him.

- This will make a buzz.
- Put that away!

- Do it!
- Hey...!

- Do it!
- Get out!

Hey, me too!

- Get out, you liar!
- I'm not a liar.

I killed Pietri!

He raped me.

Come on, film me!

- I killed him!
- Get out!

- What are you doing here?
- I came to see Émilie Fiori.

It's strange to see
a big lawyer like you

appointed to carry out
a public service.

Émilie's parents hired me.

Will I be filmed?

Yes.

We have to film you,
you're a minor.

Okay, let's start from zero.

Tell me how you killed Joël Pietri.

Because you told me
you did kill him.

Where were you in the room
when you did it?

She has the right
to remain silent.

Yes, but I wouldn't give her
that advice right now.

I'm trying to help her.
I'm sure she didn't do it.

But we have evidence that she
stole, and whether she did

or not, she'll be judged.

Will there be journalists in court?

So that's it...

You did it all to have
your pretty face

on magazine covers.

Aren't you ashamed?

She could go to jail.

I killed that dirty rapist.

He was raping me,
I fought back...

Shut up.

I pushed him, he hit his head,
and he died.

I got dressed again and left.

Please...

Joël Pietri was found dressed.

He died after a fight,

and after the rape, not during it.

I don't know how much time
went by and I don't care.

But now I'm sure
that you didn't kill him.

Ms. Collazo is asking that she
be taken to a minor's center.

She didn't do it.

She just wants to be seen
and get noticed.

Do you agree, captain?

Captain?

Yes, I agree with what
Renucci just said.

But she confessed to it.

Without irrefutable proof
that she lied,

I will have to accuse her.

We have to make her understand
that this is not a game.

I really think...

that a night in a cell
would do her good.

We don't have much choice.

It stinks in here!

It's not a luxury hotel.

15 years is a long time.

Take off your belt,
shoes and jewelry.

What? I can't stay
in here barefooted! Gross!

You're arrested. It's the law.

Come on.

Sorry, inspector,
but your turn is over.

You'll have to go look elsewhere.

You drugged me last night
with GHB and Viagra.

I didn't drug you.

I got you high.

And I can assure you
you really liked it.

Does the term "rapist drug"
tell you anything?

Are you serious?

Yes.

This is new!

We just had a good time, that's all.

You're really stiff!

I'm going to file a complaint
against you for rape!

For rape? A cop?

Never. How embarrassing.

You got a bike?
Your mother had said no.

I know she didn't.
It was Hyacinthe!

- He's sick, isn't he?
- Yes, totally.

And it's not just any bike.
It's a really good one.

I can see that, yes.

Well, I might look
like a fool but...

that's okay. Here!

- Happy birthday!
- Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hyacinthe!

Why did you buy him
that motorcycle?

What's the problem?
Did you see his face?

I don't care!

If you teach him he can get
anything whenever he wants

he will become like you!

I don't want you to turn him
into a gangster.

Your morality lessons bore me!

I can give him a present.
He's my grandson.

I want to say something.

Barthé, you're 18,

you should know the truth.

Your father, Pierre,
was my son.

What?

I mean...

my dad told me
his father was dead, so...

I know.

I will explain why, if you want.

But I'm getting old,

and I want to recover
all the time we lost

and give you everything
I can as a grandfather.

Happy birthday, Barthé.

Why do you let Hyacinthe
talk like that?

Barthé is your son.
That's obvious!

Look at him!
He looks just like you.

Do a DNA test.

Did you do it?

Why don't you tell him
he's your son?

You have to speak to Barthé!

He already lost his "dad,"
and now he has Hyacinthe...

Don't you think that's enough
for one day?

Anna should do it.

We told you she'd be trouble.

What is it?

Ange? We have a problem.
You should get here.

Okay, I'm coming.

I'm sorry.

So am I. I have work to do.

So...

Oh, here.

What is this?

You were raped.
That's serious.

On the contrary. Many stars

were raped as kids,

and that gave them
strength to succeed.

- I've read a lot about that.
- Really?

Did you also read about
those who failed?

I guarantee you
they're more numerous.

This is not People's Magazine.
And this is not a game!

The tragedy of it
will catch up with you.

You will relive that moment
when someone touches you,

bumps into you,

every time you hear a noise
at night, you'll feel anguish...

- What is she doing?
- You don't get it...

I will finally get noticed,
I will sell my story

leave this God-forgotten hole
and go live in Paris.

Do you realize
what you're doing?

You're confessing to a murder,
so you'll go to jail.

And that little world of yours

will forget about you.

You won't be a star.

You'll just feel humiliated,
dirty, alone...

and ashamed.

Listen... You're angry
and you won't listen...

What's going on here?
Why do you let her?

She's the Prosecutor,
she's the boss.

- I want my lawyer.
- No, no... Let me do it!

No way...!

Let go of me!

Let go of her, now!

Come on.

I fucked up.

I know I did.

- Renucci will be pissed.
- What are you talking about?

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

Lise...

I'm your friend.

What do you want me to tell you?

I was stupid to go back home
alone like that...

and I should have seen
those guys waiting.

I was scared and wasn't
able to defend myself...

What more do you want me
to tell you?

Did you file a complaint?

No. What for?

I'm a prosecutor, I'm a woman...

I have no right to be weak.

I'm here.

- Is all that true?
- What?

That I didn't want to go to bed
with Ève? Yes.

And I have a witness.

That she gave me a GHB
and Viagra cocktail?

Yes, it's true too.

I have evidence.

Yes, so you want to file
a complaint for... rape?

Yes.

- Ange?
- Yes.

I talked to my friend about Irina.

Somebody went to investigate
her already.

You'll never guess who.

- Pietri.
- Really?

Why did Pietri do that?

Did he know she didn't
have all her papers?

We're going to have to start
investigating again!

Tell me, Le Tallec...

are you sure you want
to go through with this?

Yes.

I think I have something.

On the video, Pietri was here...

so his head must have been
at the height of the hedge.

But it's not.

- That's not Pietri!
- Somebody wore his shirt.

Look!

The sleeves are too short.

Someone wanted us to think

that Pietri was still alive
after Irina went out.

She has an accomplice.

7:27. That's your accomplice

to make us think Pietri was
still alive after you left.

He or she must work
at the Paradisu.

We have people
at your house right now,

looking for DNA traces.

We will compare them with all
Paradisu staff DNA samples...

To find out who your accomplice is.

Pietri threatened to denounce you.

Is that it?

In exchange for his silence,
we met when I came to clean up

and we had sex.

But he didn't touch you
on the day he died.

So why did you choose
that day to kill him?

He...

He said he had found
a replacement for me,

and that he had

only called me
to clean up after them.

He wanted to get rid of me.

He was going to denounce me.

So I...

After everything he had put me
through, it was unfair.

We fought and...

And you called your accomplice
to help you?

He just wanted to protect me.

Your accomplice will only be
accused of covering up.

Right. So save us some time.
Who is he?

Chris. The gardener.

Listen.

Your case will be examined,
but you're free for now.

You were lucky.

I'm a nobody now...
thanks to you.

Have some trust in yourself.

And stop thinking you need
big breasts to succeed.

Go on.

My baby!

Oh, my baby!

Ange? How are you?

What is it?

An important coke dealer

got caught in a fight yesterday.

And?

The Narcotics team arrested him
and I got to see the file.

Look at the pictures.

Wasn't Anna out of it?
