BABY PAULINE CRYING

PAULINE LAUGHING

FALCO: Sounds like sunshine.

PAULINE LAUGHING

FALCO: I can't live without you.
CAROLE: Me too.

STOP! MY PURSE!

MY PURSE! GIVE ME BACK MY PURSE!

Call the police!

A NEW BEGINNING

Lt. Falco?
- Yes?

Are you going back to school?
- You could say that, yeah.



And you are?

Sonia Vasseur, your psychologist.
- Nice to meet you. Falco.

Nice to meet you.
Has the Commissioner informed you?

Yeah, I explained I was in a coma,
not the nut house, if you want to know.

I hope you feel at home soon.
See you tomorrow, 9 am.

All right.

Have a nice day!
SONIA: You too.

(Let's go.)

Good morning.

Why are you here?

Lt. Falco. I'm returning to service.
- Oh, it's you!

Welcome.
- Thank you.

Here's your "badge."
- "Badge," okay.

Signature here.
- Of course.



Where am I?

You're in the back-right of
the open-plan office.

Sorry? In the...
- In the open-plan office.

That big room full of desks.
- Oh, there. Thank you!

REGIS: Falco!

I didn't want to believe it.
- Regis?

(What the hell!) How are you, dude!?

I'm so glad to see you again!
You've hardly changed.

Well, 22 years without tobacco and
whiskey, you stay young!

But you... When are you due? Soon?

Yeah, yeah. I'll make you the godfather.
- I hope so!

- You working here?
- Let's go!

Tell me.

How do you like it?

Already 25 years in this dump.
Time goes by so fast.

I know all about that.
- Sorry, I don't mean it like that.

Doesn't matter. Where am I?
- Down there.

Right, and you were, well...

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWell, you came out of...

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\huh, you woke up-

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRegis... I'm fine.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOkay.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hComing tonight

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThanks.

Hello.

Fuuuck...
- Falco, right?

- Yes.
- I met you on the Grès case:

Brigadier Eva Blum.

- Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

What do you want?
- Black coffee without sugar, small.

You have a "badge"?

This one?
- Yes. You put that here.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOh, Grade-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\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThanks.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWelcome to the team!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou make it great
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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 come back!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSee you later.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h'Later!

Please, Commissioner, change the teams.

Give me anyone else, but not him.

Listen, he was the most promising
at the Academy.

22 years ago! And he's
been in a coma ever since.

Look at how he handled
the Cynthia Grès case.

He doesn't belong here--
he's out of place! He's unpredictable!

It's done, Chevalier, sit down.

You've had four
team members in three years.

Do you know what that means?
You don't have a team spirit.

And that's a problem, for
the police and for your career.

So prove me wrong.

KNOCKING
Yes?

Commissioner, a homicide call from Central.
- Take a car and go right away.

Today! You're on this case.

Hey, don't forget
your new teammate, uh?

I'm counting on you.
- (Yes.)

Is that everything?
- Yes.

Thanks.

- Trying to get rid of me?
- No.

SIREN

Listen,

I realize I'm starting over after
22 years in a coma.

It's okay.

But I don't hear the dead,
or predict the future,

I don't think I even talk to animals.

I'm the same as before, just older.
- Great. That's reassuring.

Funny-- I'm a little nervous.

I'll get started.

This is your first crime scene,
things have changed a lot since your time.

You stay in the
background, okay?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOkay.

Well, what do we have?

Lionel Garnier, 47, taxi driver.
His taxi was at the park entrance.

That man found him
after he stole a bag.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHey there. Falco.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah, I know. Philippe
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hChéron, pathologist.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNice to meet you.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hShall we?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hShall we? Yeah, come on!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDoes he know?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDoes he know?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI... would imagine...

Skull injury, fractures,
subdural hematoma.

Probably a blow from a rock.

Approximate time of death between
11 pm and 3 am.

- A meeting gone wrong.

I don't mean to contradict, but
I'm thinking more 'crime of passion.'

- Based on what?
- From what I see.

I wouldn't be found lying
like this with my eyes closed,

hand on my heart,
while my skull is smashed in.

I think that's how the killer did it.

Put him down with one last token of love.

Yeah, but the boss wants
us to start from the beginning.

- Excuse me.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEva, anything on
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe mobile?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOkay, thanks.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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 are 2 messages

Nice toy.

Excuse me.

VOICEMAIL: Honey, it's me.
I'm home with the kids.

How late will you be? Kisses.

EVA: And the second message:

Hi, it's me. You're late, we're
eating with my parents. Love you!

We'll find those women.
Try to find me the addresses, Eva?

- Yes.

Is he always like this?

- Uh, yes.
- Okay.

See you later.
EVA: See you, Cheron.

Sorry Mrs. Garnier, we need
to ask you a few questions.

Please.
- Your husband was a taxi driver?

Yes, that's right.
- What time did he leave yesterday?

8 am, like every morning.

And you were supposed to see each
other again last night?

- Yes.

How am I supposed
to tell my kids?

GATE SHUTS

ROMAIN: Mrs. Garnier, I'm sorry, but your
husband was seeing another woman.

Did you know?
- I don't believe it.

We've been through a lot together.
Money problems, Sam's illness.

Everything! And we've always
worked it out together, OK?

Lionel is a good person...

I told you, he's my fiancée!
I...

How did he die?

ROMAIN: Findings indicate
head trauma, with

bone fractures, and subdural hematoma,
inflicted by a man...

FALCO: He was murdered, miss.

Did you know him a long time?

CELINE: Six months. Love at first
sight. He wanted to marry me.

Did you know he
was already married?

And father of two children?

CELINE: Lionel? That's not possible.

A wife and two
children, and a fiancé.

Same city, for more than 6 months.
Nice organizing, huh?

At the same time, 'taxi driver'
is the ideal job for a double life.

- Yeah.
- Always on the go, flexible hours.

- One found out there was
another and couldn't handle it.

We're checking their alibis, working
hours and interviewing local residents.

One thing I don't understand.

He wanted to marry his mistress,
but did not live apart from his wife.

A separation. Heigh-oh-- just
like 50% of couples in Paris.

Is that the case today?
You can go right to divorce?

I'll start the autopsy.

I'll send the reports
as soon as possible.

- Thanks.

Nice guy. Looks
good for a pathologist.

That's not right.
- Why?

You sure are caszh with the pathologist.

Working with the man who lives with
your wife; what life dishes out.

Sorry?

I thought...
- Yeah, yeah.

MAN: Oh yeah?
WOMAN: Yeah.

It's like a nightmare.

J-P: It wasn't for me to tell you.
Carole was protecting her daughter.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIs he around a lot?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAll the time. He's
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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 the brigade.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h(Fuck!)

You knew she had someone.
- 'Someone,' yes.

I never imagined I would have to
work with him every day, right?

Listen, Chéron is a
professional, a good guy.

Find a way to settle your differences.

'Differences'?

It's not 'differences,' Jean-Paul,
he lives with my wife.

You were there, you were my witness.

Listen Alex, I know it's hard, but
it's you who wanted to come back.

Work with the team, or turn in your badge.

I'm sorry.

- (Okay.) Great!
SIREN

KNOCKING

Jean-Paul called me.

Can I come in?

Something to drink?

Yes.

Sit.

How are you?

I'm alright.

I do understand.

You wanted to move on with your life.

I'll never blame you for that.

I know, Alex.

The three of us were
happy, weren't we?

Yes, we were happy.

In the beginning I came every day.

I knew you would wake up.

And the years passed.

Pauline, me...

...the hospital was...

I couldn't anymore.

And that infernal beeping
was driving me crazy.

When she was six, Pauline asked why
you had no grave like other dead people.

Then say it, Carole. Say it.

It occurred to me once.

They wanted to pull the plug,
but I couldn't.

Fortunately, Jean-Paul was there.
To help me.

To persevere, to resist.

Twelve years ago I met Philippe.
He worked in the PJ.

Jean-Paul had
organized a dinner party.

But now I'm here.

I'm here.

I'll do anything to get you back.
- I started over, Alex.

So should you.

I will always be there for you.

But not like that.
I'm sorry.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCoffee?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGladly.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCoffee?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat's with your hand?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIf anyone asks,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou don't know.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEspecially if it's a cop.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hUh, no sugar.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWell, how are you?

Is that sign not clear?
It says 'No Smoking.'

Law 20: No smoking in public places.

The end of individual liberty.
Yeah, that's meaningless.

Any news about Garnier?
- We have nothing.

Nice neighbor, colleagues speak
well of him,

good family man. An ordinary man.

Yeah, except for his two wives.

Two wives.
Statistically, 2 good motives for murder.

Especially without alibis.

Lieutenant?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes?\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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?

- The victim Cheron's prints
are in the database.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h(What...?)

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere's a computerized
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfingerprint storage system,

prints are taken following infractions.

There're almost 4 million
fingerprinted in France.

Arrested in a jewelry robbery,
February 4 last year. Over €50,000.

328,000 francs-- about.

A lot of dough.

Two women, a mugger.

That's three good motives for murder.

Falco, don't just toss your cigarettes!

Garnier, a robber?
Can that machine be broken?

- Impossible.

It takes into account 12 points
of comparison on the finger.

The mugger is Lionel Garnier.
It's scientific.

Scientific, statistics,
all that's not really my department.

Was the culprit never caught?
- The prints weren't on file.

The BRB never solved it--
uh, 'Anti-Robbery Brigade.'

Thank you, but I'm from the 90s.
I remember that.

Something I don't understand:

what'd he do with the money?
They didn't look very rich.

- There's nothing in
Garnier's bank accounts.

Where are you going?
- To the robbery archive.

Garnier's victims also had motive.

Don't knock yourself out. The archives of
the past 50 years are digitized.

So... these are the robbery files.

And Garnier's victims
were... Mrs. & Mr. Rondin.

Do you think it stinks in here?

Ah, that's it.
Do you drink that stuff?

It's very good. Chinese tea with
antioxidants. 'Lapsang souchong.'

Uh yeah, no need.

Come on, get to work Chevalier.

DOOR LOCK BUZZES

Thanks.

Falco?
- Yeah?

Oh yeah, that's no longer allowed.
Straight to jail.

Has the death penalty been reintroduced?
- For you, if you want.

Nice of you!

Right. Do you know why you're
here, Mr. & Mrs. Rondin?

Has the robber been arrested?
- You might put it that way.

Your bank accounts have been checked.
Last month you deposited...

€50,000.

Exactly the same amount
you were robbed of last year.

It's difficult to make it, isn't it?

Isn't there always a crisis?
- Mmm!

And then someone comes and
robs you of your hard-earned money.

So when you inevitably meet him again,

you'll want to teach him a lesson--
that's normal.

He probably didn't
mean to kill him.

Was the burglar killed?

We have nothing to do with such a deed.

We want to believe that. However?

But you need to explain
where this came from:

55,320 exactly. That's euros.

He returned it.
- Excuse me?

He returned it.
- That's a good one!

Of course, a robber who returns the money.

What was it? Blackmail?
Threats to your family?

We were closing the shop and found a
cardboard box under the window.

And the money was in it.
- Just like that.

Yes, we didn't understand.
- And you didn't say anything?

So the insurance company wouldn't ask
for its money back.

BEEP
DOOR UNLOCKS & OPENS

Sorry; problem at the IML.
You have to come right now.

CROSSTALK

LOUD WHISTLE

So what's going on here?

That girl is crazy!

She wants my husband cremated!

It's what he wanted, he told me!
And scatter his ashes on the water!

Ms. Mercuriali, legally speaking,

Mrs. Garnier makes the decisions
about funeral arrangements.

She killed him! That orange
car in front of the morgue is yours!

On the night of Lionel's death,
he was at my house!

She followed us. He wanted
to leave you, and you killed him!

- You're delirious. You're crazy.

Come with me.

Falco?
- Yes?

Do you have a moment?
- Yeah .

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don't want to
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hreopen the wound.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI know it's a
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdelicate situation.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI know it's a
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdelicate situation.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMm-hmm.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI hope we can work
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\htogether without difficulty.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hStop fucking my wife,

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmaybe I won't hit
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou in the mouth.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGarnier had no
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmoney to return.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEva says his
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hgrandmother left him

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha small sum of
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmoney 2 months ago.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMm-hmm.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSo: Garnier robs Rondin.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe pays them back
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith the inheritance.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt makes no sense.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere must have been
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha reason he returned it.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat's the key.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat about Katia?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat's the key.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCéline said she was
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfollowing her husband.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIf she discovered his
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmistress, it's a motive.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe have to question
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hher again.

We're checking into the robbery.

'Jealousy,' Chevalier.
That fits as a motive:

the flowers, the eyes closed, the park.
- I understand you want to participate,

but things have changed.
Let me handle it, I know my job.

You're right, Chevalier.
Want me to go have a smoke?

Uh... yes.

At least he understood
it's better to let me do it.

Seriously. He was in a coma for 22 years.

- I checked his service record.
The Rue d'Avron murder in '89.

He was still just starting out,
but the reports are glowing.

Just after the robbery, Garnier opened
an account in Belgium with €50,000.

Three weeks later, he transferred
everything to Houston Hospital,

an American clinic.

Good. Find Falco for me.

It's clearly stated in the offer!
I have it here in front of me...

don't talk nonsense!

- Nobody's home.

- Are you sure?

Poor woman; what a tragedy, uh?

Tell me,

what's this drawing with the 2 guys?

Er, for the daughter,
she's learning to drive.

And she borrows her parents' car
once in a while?

- Once in a while!

Shit!

MAN: Call me? Call your daughter!

Know where Falco is?
- No, he's not on the terrace

or in the yard.

He's vanished into thin air.
- Too good to be true.

Garnier paid that clinic for gene therapy

for a degenerative disease.
The patient: Sam Garnier.

His son?
- Yeah.

- The robbery was for his son's treatment?

- The kid's latest tests
show the treatment worked.

It matches up exactly with when
Garnier returned the money.

That smells like fish!

Margot!

"Stop"!

You were seen.

Your mother didn't follow
your father, it was you.

You know, we'll find out eventually.

INHALES SHARPLY

You're all done up;
you look like 'Rocky.'

Do you know 'Rocky'?

I get that confused--
is that something like a dog?

Of course I know Rocky!
That's just BS.

So, where are we?

ROMAIN: I'd talk right now if I were you.

Well?

She has an alibi for her dad's death.

But she followed him.
Maybe she saw something.

BUZZER,
DOOR UNLOCKS

Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Cigarette?

Don't smoke?

Where can I buy shoes like yours?

You're a cop?

You don't look like
a criminal either,

but you are.

Appearances are deceiving.

Was that you in that car?

It's my fault.

Your father's death?

The day I turned 15,
my father took me to a party.

He wanted to stay for a while.

But I was embarrassed
in front of my friends.

I told him to leave.

On his way back,
someone ran a light.

My father went through the windshield.
He died instantly.

For years I blamed myself,
I thought it was my fault.

That I could have done something.

But it wasn't.

That guy should have stopped, that's all

You couldn't save your father, Margot.

But you can help us
find the culprit. Help us.

It's true, it was me following him.

You followed him to the park?
- No.

I took the car to go see my boyfriend.

When I was driving back I saw
my father with a woman.

They seemed close.

I didn't understand
what he was doing there.

So I followed them.

He left alone and parked
at Charonne cemetery.

He cried.

I was late, I was afraid my
mother would miss the car.

So I left.

And the next day...

The next day we came.

I should have talked to him.

But I was uncomfortable and
didn't know what to say.

I left him all alone.

And now he's dead.

Garnier wept as he
entered the cemetery.

It must be the grave of someone he knew.
- Not according to his wife.

We'll get a list of the tombstones
by tonight, we'll know who's there.

SIREN

If it helps, I'm sorry about your father.

Thanks. But I went to Child Protection.

See you in the morning.

INCOMING CALL - MOM
MOBILE RINGING

MOBILE RINGING

Yes, mom.
No no, I'm still fine.

No, my voice doesn't sound tired.

Stop! Don't always think there's
something going on! There's nothing.

A new teammate.
The cop in a coma, remember?

What?

I don't know if he
saw a white light!

No, nothing. I- just black, I think.
Good.

Mom, I have to go.
I have... friends coming over.

A party. A very big party.

JUDICIAL RECORD
LIONEL GARNIER

CAR REPAIR BILL

Phone.
Lt. Ecuyer, Cavalier or something.

'Chevalier.'
- You really need to buy a mobile.

Okay!
Yes?

FALCO: Did you sleep here?
- I haven't slept at all.

And neither have you, apparently.
- And?

Cynthia's graveyard story
bothered me.

This is a list of all the
persons buried there.

I've removed the ones from
more than 50 years ago.

Leaving about 1,650 more recent.

WHISTLES

That's still a lot.
- Yes.

Can't we narrow it down?

Yeah. I cross-referenced this
with our info on Garnier.

Childhood, school, family, work.
Nothing.

So I started looking
at secondary elements.

Hobbies, where he lived, and so on.
- You're good at this!

There is a link: 'Martin Dupas.'

Hit by a car, died instantly,
offender drove off.

And the link to Garnier?
- Dupas's date of death:

February 4 last year.

The day Garnier committed the robbery.
- Yeah.

When I say: dented
fender, broken windshield?

No idea.
- You don't know much about cars, do you?

That's classic: collision with an animal.
Or the equivalent.

'Equivalent'? You mean a human?
- For example.

There's a bill, Garnier dropped off his car
for this type of repair on February 7.

Three days after the robbery.
He assaults the jeweler and flees.

He'd decided to save his kid.

In his panic, he hits
Martin Dupas with his car.

If he turns himself in, he won't be able
to take care of his kid. He doesn't stop.

Lionel Garnier is not only a
robber, but also a murderer.

Taxi driver commits
robbery for his son.

He kills someone
and has two women.

That is quite something.
- Anyway, it fits.

A taxi was seen at the scene of
the accident. We couldn't find it.

And Dupas' next of kin?
Maybe someone wanted revenge?

Martin Dupas, 36,
single, only son.

Father deceased, mother
lives in Bordeaux, 70 years old.

A bit old for a vendetta.

Call her. Ask what she knows
about his friends, girlfriends, pursuits.

Perhaps a loved one has discovered
the facts and wants to play his own judge.

Lt. Falco, we have
an appointment, remember?

Bye, doctor. How are you?
- Fine.

May I call you Sonia?
- No.

Listen, I don't really have
time to do therapy.

There are probably more urgent cases.
And I have nothing to say.

- You don't understand yet. This
therapy is a prerequisite for your return.

Either you come along,
or you hand in your badge.

How do you feel?

This coffee is better
than from the machine.

And you have a nice office.

I wasn't talking about my office.

2013. What's become
of your life in your absence?

Aren't sad?
You lost 22 years of your life.

You haven't seen
your daughter grow up.

Your wife has another.

Do you have no trouble
sleeping, nightmares?

Are you not compensating for your
discomfort with tobacco and alcohol?

Don't you wonder why you just
woke up after 20 years in a coma?

After all that, the world
hasn't changed. Right?

My 45 minutes are up.

I have to get back.

Until Thursday. Same time.

Martin Dupas's mother
didn't want to sell his apartment.

- Good, it's for sale?

His mother thinks Martin was
dating a woman before his death.

But she never met her,
doesn't know her name.

I'm sure we'll find something here.
Come on.

AVA: No signs he was in a
relationship with a woman.

- Maybe he just said that
to reassure his mother.

FALCO: Who does that now?

We no longer live
in the 18th century.

- This was here.

Call me if you find anything I'd like.
- We'll call you.

What kind of girls do you like, Chevalier?

Redhead, intellectual, feminist? Or...

or athletic, funny, sexy, like Eva?
- Hmm?

'Lieutenant has torrid
relationship with sergeant.'
FANFARE

- Eva prefers them a little less
beard and a little more chesty.

- Oh?

Well shit.

LAUGHS

Hey, I know this place.

We've been here. Look.

Where is this?
- That's at...

Celine Mercuriali's house.
- Lionel Garnier's fiancée.

Martin Dupas's girlfriend?
- Let's get over there.

Céline took us for a ride.
- Falco, seat belt!

So, she meets Lionel
Garnier at Dupas's grave.

He pretends to be a friend.

She needed a shoulder
to cry on, he feels culpable.

They start a relationship;

a few months later he confesses
he's responsible for Dupas's death;

she can't handle it; she kills him.

That's good, except for one thing.

- What?
- Garnier's motive.

His son is better,
the money has been paid back.

He even visits Martin's grave. He does
everything to make up for his mistakes.

Does he propose to a woman
whose fiancee he killed with his car?

I don't believe it.
- It makes sense it's her.

- All we know is that Céline is
behind it. We'll find her motive later.

Does he really need a seat belt?
- It's mandatory.

RADIO BLEEPS

Shots fired. 32 Rue des Bateliers,
registered to the name 'Garnier.'

Celine Mercuriali? Police!

Do you hear me?
RADIO: One hostage.

Suspect is armed.
Repeat, suspect is armed.

Same up here.
We need a search.

Falco-- where are you?

Always the same!

RADIO: We have the two children.
The mother is still inside.

You have authority for the two.
Omega 2?

- No visual on the site at the moment.

Who's that?
RADIO: Could be anyone.

Dirty slut!
This is all your fault.

Get out!!

FALCO: Look at me.

I said get out!
- Or else what?

You'll kill me?

I've already been dead for 22 years.

Frankly, that wouldn't change much for me.
- Did you hear what I said? Did you listen?

There's nothing you can do!
She stole my Lionel!

How was that marriage proposal?
- Why do you ask?

I like love stories.
- I don't see the connection.

It's not right, Celine.

Lionel didn't want to marry you,
he didn't love you.

He felt sorry about Martin, that's all.

You'll say anything.

We met in the cemetery,
near Martin's grave.

He told me about the accident.
At first I was mad at him.

I have a shot.
- Okay, firing order:

shoot to kill. Take the shot.

You fell in love with him, right?

Fuck, who is that guy?

What happened, Celine?

Why did you kill him?

We met in the park.

I thought he also understood,

we were made for each
other. And never stop.

I made myself beautiful for him!

He told me he only wanted
to repay them.

That I would forgive
him for Martin's death.

But he wasn't in love with me.
I begged him to stay with me.

But he said he had
a wife and children.

I...

I couldn't control myself.

I hit him and he fell.

Now I have nothing, lost so much.

I have nothing left.
I'm all alone.

Just give it to me.

I'm all alone.

You'll be back
with your mom soon.

Thank you.

(It'll be okay.)

Mister?

Is it true? Did my father
really kill someone?

- It was an accident, Sam. Your dad
didn't mean for it to happen.

He just wanted to be the
best father in the world.

(Be brave, my man.)

Are you gonna be okay?

Thanks;
thanks to you.

Can I ask you something?
- Yes.

Have you ever doubted
your husband's love?

(No.)

Thank you.

CHUCKLES

Yeah!

Sorry I stole your car,
there was no choice.

Want a coffee? I have a card.
- No thanks, I have one myself.

Lemme tell you: you
don't need therapy,

you need a brain transplant.

What'd you want, to take a bullet in
the head and, presto, it's 2040?

- Wouldn't that make you happy?
- How do you figure?

That would be a
black mark in my file.

Yes, files are important!
- Hey Falco-- here.

You need it.
And me too.

When I can't get hold of you, I worry.

It'll save me the trouble of
calling the hotel.

For me?
- Yeah.

Awesome! Thank you.

Okay, good. I'll try it.

But- no, wait.

Long press this key.
- Mm hmm...

So: touch screen, micro USB,
auto-complete texting. It has it all.
