Hello, Alex.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWell?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\haround the mouth.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRosy skin,



\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRosy skin, cyanide poisoning, probably.

No traces of violence. Dead
at least 6 hours-- say 2 am.

Can you tell what time the
poison was administered?

- That's difficult, it depends on the
concentration, lifestyle of the person, diet.

Between half an hour
and an hour before death.

Could it be an accident?
- The quantity is too large for that.

This could only be deliberate poisoning.
- It's for us, right Chevalier?

Are you coming over for
Pauline's 23rd birthday?

I don't think so.
I'll do something with her alone later.

You'd be helping me.
- Not to hit me in the mouth.

- Have fun!

Good thanks.

We've traced the victim's movements.
Dinner with friends last night,

They say she went home around 1:30 am
because she had an exam this morning.

- What do we know about those friends?
EVA: Nothing at the moment.

They could have passed
that crap to her somehow.

- It's confirmed: it's indeed cyanide.
FALCO: How was it administered?

Injection takes too long, so
orally, inhaled or skin contact.

The autopsy should tell us.
MOBILE RINGS

see if anyone close to the victim
has access to cyanide.

COP: This way, Lieutenant!

So?
GATEWAY CAFE

The victim presents the same symptoms
GATEWAY CAFE

as the woman found last night.

The cleaning man discovered her
locked in the basement bathroom,

a good half hour ago.
That's him over there.

I'm going to see if he touched the victim.

ROMAIN: OK.

FALCO: Do you know if
the bar was already open?

- No, it won't open for two hours.

What kind of place is this?

- A trendy restaurant bar, singles nights
3 times a week, including last night.

- Singles night?
- A place catering to singles.

Try it!

He's good. We can proceed.
- Is it OK? Where is it?

We'll take over, thanks.
COP: Okay.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWell?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSame story. Cyanide.

Put on masks and gloves,
don't go near the body.

So, Julie Fromanger, 44.
According to this

bank card receipt,
she was here all night.

I'll call Eva to run a check on the victim.

Symptoms similar to those of alcohol.

She may have felt sick and come in here.

- Time of death?

- About the same as the first victim,
give or take an hour.

Nobody's reported her missing?
Right, I'll send you her address,

contact the relatives and
start a search on her.

\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\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGot a map,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hChevalier?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA map?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA map?\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA map of Paris.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes, hold on-\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA map of Paris.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo, a real map.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome on.

OK, the bar is here. At 1.30 am
the first victim goes home.

Via this route, logically.

Both women died almost at the same time.

- Yeah, and possibly poisoned
in the same place.

These are his hunting grounds!

Would Ludivine have entered
this cafe on her way home?

- Possibly, yeah.

As a precaution we're
checking beverages, cigarettes,

anything that could hold cyanide.

- Have you spoken with the manager?
- Manager: Helene Coltas.

Left her a message, nothing yet.

- Track down the other customers
at the bar, just to make sure

that no more are poisoned.
- Why did Ludivine go to that cafe?

She went home because
she had an exam.

- Changed her mind?
- I spoke to the prefecture.

We're getting access to
CCTV from the neighborhood.

You contact her next of kin.

- Already happening.
- And the M.O.?

- Chéron will call when he knows something.

- Anyway, until we know how they were
poisoned, we have nothing.

Just a sicko walking around
with cyanide, who could do it again.

J-P: I urge you to be discreet.

When the press gets wind of
this, mass hysteria will break out.

We have the results from Forensics:
they found nothing.

No traces of cyanide in
the area around the cafe.

They suspected nothing, Chevalier.

No sign of panic or
feeling threatened-- nothing!

So it wasn't in their food or drink,
but something they did every day.

Something they did all the time.

The first victim smoked, we found
a lighter on the body. The second ?

- A pack of cigarettes
she'd bought, in her purse.

The lungs were the first
organs affected in both victims.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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 that mean
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthey could've

It's possible.

The killer could've injected cyanide
into the filter with a fine needle.

- So... what we have is, either

someone is walking around handing
out cigarettes from a poisoned pack-

- Or he poisoned a
specific victim's pack. Right?

ROMAIN: Excuse me. Hello?

Okay, thanks.

The CCTV footage of the neighborhood
is here. Thanks, Cheron.

So then, the woman
found in the toilet is there.

That's Ludivine,
the victim from the stairs.

Can you magnify this Eva, please?

She lit a cigarette for Julie.
It must be the poisoned one.

Who's that woman there?

She works here, I think.
- Can you make that bigger?

Shit, there's a third one.
Probably the unreachable bar owner.

- Eva, find her address.

Two puffs but... maybe

there's still a chance.
- Yeah.

We're going, send a medical team!

Madame Coltas!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMadame Coltas!

SCREAM

Go home! Go home!

Chevalier!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hShit.

FALCO: She's still alive.

No family, parents dead,
single, no kids? Okay.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSo?

Okay, thanks.

\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\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat was Cheron:

the poisoned pack belonged
to the woman found at the bar.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight. We start over

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hJulie Fromanger.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd others were
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hcollateral victims.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome see,

Something strange.

Watch--

--see that man with
the hat and camera?

FALCO: Does she know that man?

I don't know. He's observing her,

he's taking her picture.

What do we know about her loved ones?

EVA: Married 20 years,
son studies in the US.

I haven't been able
to reach her husband:

Xavier Fromanger, a surgeon.

FALCO: If my wife were missing,
I'd be on my phone.

EVA: I went to her house
to gain access.

Look what I found.

Is that Julie?
EVA: Yep.

FALCO: Looks like a different woman.

EVA: There isn't a single photo
of her husband in the house.

The cafe was having a singles night, right?
EVA: Yes.

A married woman in such a place.

She must not have been
happy with her husband.

Right, we must ask him.
FALCO: Let's go.

I don't understand why I'm here.

I'm told that Julie is dead, and...

and you keep asking the
same things over and over.

Hell, she was my wife.
Understand? My wife!

Your wife. And that she didn't
come home didn't worry you?

We've been living apart for 6 months.

Julie wanted to take a break.

Your wife had changed of late.
That break seemed to do her good.

But for you it wasn't mutual, am I right?

- Six months ago I was screwing up,
it's like I was crazy.

We had grown apart.
It happens in marriages.

I slipped up with an intern.
It meant nothing.

- Your wife apparently
thought otherwise.

- You know nothing about our marriage.

ROMAIN: We're not here to
judge your marriage.

We're here because your
wife was murdered,

and you've been unreachable
since this morning.

I was in the middle of an operation.

FALCO: Your wife went to singles bars.

Did you know?

No.

- She was followed on the night
of her death. We know that.

- I was at my friend's where I'm staying.
- We'll check that.

I was always pulling bullshit.

If I hadn't she'd still be alive.

If only I could turn back the clock.
I want to so much.

KNOCKING
FALCO: Yes?

Can I see you a minute?
- Coming.

Cheron has finished the analysis.

Something volatile containing
cyanide was injected into the cigarette

an hour before inhalation, at most.

Someone else poisoned Julie's cigarettes
while she was in the cafe.

- So if he was at his friend's place,
the husband's in the clear.

Whoever poisoned the cigarettes

risked killing more people
just to kill his target.

Mr Fromanger, you can go
as soon as we verify your alibi.

And I want to offer my
condolences on the loss of your wife.

Falco?
-Yeah?

There's some hottie
waiting for you in there.

(Thanks.)

Come here.
- Yeah?

The next time you talk about my daughter
like that, I'll gouge out your eyes.

- Yeah.
- (Okay!)

Want one?
- No, I don't smoke.

It stinks and is bad for the skin.

Are you coming on my birthday?

I'm not sure that's a good
idea.

It's a bit complicated at the moment
with your mother.

I know.

But I'd really like it.

Shall we go out for dinner later?
Just the two of us?

You've already missed 22 birthdays.
- I know.

Every year when I blew out the
candles, I wished you were there.

I know it's complicated for you,
but you can make an effort, right?

I'll think about it, okay?

That works.

I have to go. See you later.

SHOT

AH!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

EVA: Good morning Falco.
ROMAIN: Falco.

What do we have ?

For a month now Julie
has been getting emails

from someone using
the name 'Casanova.'

She answers him at first.

It escalates. He follows her and
sends her covert photos he takes.

Wait, there's more.

ROMAIN: 'The meadow is
poisonous but pretty in autumn

The cows that graze there
Are slowly poisoned

Meadow-saffron the color of lilac
and shadows-'

'Under the eyes grows there
Your eyes are like those flowers

Mauve as their shadows and
mauve as this autumn

And for your eyes’ sake
my life is slowly poisoned.'

Autumn Crocuses by Apollinaire.

This sounds like the kind of video

A madman follows her,
scares her, and finally sees her die.

- I pulled up the user log, the sender
used the wi-fi at the Gateway Café.

- The victims' last night, the
poisoning, and now this madman.

It's about that cafe.
FALCO: Let's question the owner.

If I had smoked that cigarette...

What time did you leave the cafe?
- About 1:45 am.

Since I was dizzy,
I took a taxi home.

But it got worse.
After that, just a black hole-

until I woke up here.

Did you know Julie Fromanger?
- Yes.

She came often, since her separation.

After her death, did you
notice anything in particular?

No. I saw her come in.

Later on I didn't pay attention,
it was crowded.

Did she meet men with you?
- Yes. She was a bit rusty, she said.

The only man she'd ever known
was her husband.

When she found out he had cheated,
she decided not to let it get her down.

This silhouette, is it familiar?
- Look closely.

No; no, nothing at all.

The next singles night: when is it planned?

Tonight.
- Do you feel ready to help us?

How?

We're looking for a hunter seeking his
next victim. We think he's coming back.

If only out of curiosity.

I'm with a friend.

Who are you, honey?

Good evening.
- Yeah, a marion.

With ice?

What are you doing? do we know each other?
Stop taking pictures.

Who are you? Idiot.
Do you like that?

FALCO: Halt!

Hey, hey, watch it!

(Don't move!)

Find anything that points to a link

between Didier Fantin and Julie Fromanger.

The women in the pictures;
I don't understand.

You follow them, you scare them.
What exactly is your method?

Listen, Sergeant-
- Lieutenant.

- I have a meeting at 11 this
morning with Japanese clients,

you have absolutely
nothing to hold me on.

I don't know why that guy
was shadowing me.

And so far as I know no complaint
has been filed against me.

Okay, let's do it differently.
Pay attention to what I'm saying.

Photo, scarf. Look closely.

Know what this is?
What do you feel? Look.

I can't hear you.
- Could I please get some smoke-free air?

Mr Fantin, we've checked your
computer. We know you followed her.

That you stalked her.
And on the night she died, we know.

Is this you in the photo?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIs that you?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnswer, quick.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIs that you?

Julie was pretty.
A little prudish, a little fragile.

Like a butterfly
emerging from its cocoon.

She had... a weak spot.

I felt her vulnerability
when she got my photos.

And that night, when you wanted to
act, you wanted to try something new?

Maybe cyanide in the cigarette?

- I had signed a contract
and went for a drink.

I watched her, it relaxes me.

Do you think that's funny?
- She was smoking and looked drunk.

That disappointed me.
I went home.

Odd behavior, perhaps,
but originality isn't a crime.

So if you're done, gentlemen?

Do you think those photos are artistic?

How old is she?

I don't understand it.
Is it art?

Answer! How old is she?

And this one?

Is this art? This could've
been my daughter! I'm sick of it.

TAPPING

CAMERA BEEPS OFF
What are you doing?

- Stop! Falco!
- No.

Calm, calm!
- What is it?

Okay!

ROMAIN: Get some fresh air.

Are you OK?
- No.

Sorry, but some
things I can't stand.

These types drive me crazy.

Did he talk? - No.

Without proof that he could
obtain cyanide, we have nothing.

One thing I don't understand. He gets a
kick out of the fear he instills in women.

But by killing Julie, he
kills his power. Why?

I have no idea, Falco.

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

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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\hDo you mind
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsitting outside?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI needed some
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfresh air.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo problem.

Thanks.

You look exhausted.
What's going on, Lieutenant?

'Yesterday' was 22 years ago.

I was with a woman 2 years,
then it all turned upside-down.

The next day was my
daughter's first birthday.

It brings up choices.

Choices?

Some kind of "flash."

From the moment I got hit.

I'm laying on the ground.

Someone walks up to me.
I hear footsteps.

I see the gun.

GUN COCKS

It was predictable your memories
will come back. And it's very healthy.

- 'Healthy'?
- Yes!

Don't let you nightmares overwhelm you.

What were you thinking about
when you awoke?

What did you think of the first image,
the first thing?

- My daughter.

I thought about my daughter.

- Then hold on to that.
Don't let it go.

PARTY MUSIC

HE LAUGHS

Good evening, sweetheart.
- I'm glad you're here.

Happy birthday!
- Thank you!

be alone with you for a while.)

(Yes! Yes, of course.)

(Good evening.)

I've had too much champagne.

It looks good on you.

Nice to see you two together.

Really.
- You don't have to, Alex.

What?

Pretend.

I'm not pretending, Carole.

We're doing our best,
but it's hard for you.

Thank you.

Now that I see you

time has turned back 20 years.

Like I'm 20 again.

Ever since you came out of
the coma, sometimes it seems

like those 20 years never existed.

Like a jump in time.

You understand?

I think so.

Not like this, Carole.

I'm sorry.

Give our daughter a kiss from me.

What's that?
- A life.

A life in pictures.
- Do you do the same with your own photos?

No. That would be
20 uninteresting years.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFALCO: Good day.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHello.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPolice.

Do you know this woman?

Yeah, I've seen her.
Steph's girlfriend, my colleague.

- 'Steph'? I'd like to speak to her.

- Why?
- Because.

Steph is just off on her motorcycle.

Whoa! Police. Helmet off.

(Helmet.)

What's going on?
- Are you Steph?

Yes.
- We need to talk.

I just got back. I heard
someone was killed.

I couldn't reach Julie.
But I had no idea it was her.

When did you get to know her?

Three months ago. She was at
the Balto, after an evening at the cafe.

She was at her wits end.

She came often.

We saw each other
when my shift was over.

- You became lovers?
- Yeah.

It wasn't easy for her, she'd
never had a relationship with a woman.

She started to wonder:

who she was, what she wanted.

- And you?
- No.

- No.

- I've always known that I don't like men.

Being with Julie was the
start of something beautiful.

ROMAIN: Ms. Dazan, where
were you three evenings ago?

On the way to Niort, to my mother's.

- Can she confirm that?
- No. I got there around 11pm,

she was already asleep.
- That's too bad.

What can you tell us about cyanide?

Do you know what cyanide is?

What is it, miss?
- Like nothing's happened?

I've lost the woman I love.

If you have no more
questions, I'd like to leave.

Right. We're done.

Will you take Ms. Dazan
to her motorcycle please?

Explain that to me?

She won't talk that way.

Now we have nothing.
- That's not for sure.

Thank you.

ROMAIN: Yes. Okay, fine.

Stephanie Dazan's phone records.
- I'll call you back.

One number keeps coming up.
- Do we know who it is?

Making jewelry uses chemicals,
that could be it.

Who's the owner?

Oh shit.

STEPH: It's me. Are you there?

This is the second message I've left.

Kitten, I'm waiting for you, hurry up.

She had to disappear.

I've never been so

You see, that night

I told Julie that
you had lost your mobile.

That you were unreachable.
Then I gave her

a pack of poisoned cigarettes.

I even smoked a bit of one myself,

so they wouldn't suspect me.

I know very well what I'm doing.

And I'm doing it for you.
