HPI Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Coutume malgache - full transcript

Wow!

Spectacular.
- Brand new carburetor.

Impressive.
How did that miracle happen?

Expense report, Henri. Expense report!

I am very proud of you.

You finally benefit from the system.

Exactly! HONKS

Bye, Henri.
- Have a nice day, Henri.

I hired Morgane as a consultant.

Consultant? Morgane Alvaro?

Yes, the contract has been signed.
She starts today.



The Divisional Commissioner
signed off on it?

"MALAGASY CUSTOM"\n\n

"MALAGASY CUSTOM"
Explain it to me.
- She saved us

"MALAGASY CUSTOM"
on the last case.\n

No, she stole, contaminated evidence
and made almost everything fail.

I'm accountable, I have to
make sure you understand that.

That woman is un-manage-able.
- That's right.

That's why she's on your team:
you can handle her.

I want to do it, it's going to be fine.
Keep her in check.

Hey.

What's happening?

Fuck, what are you
doing here with that baby?

Hold on, I dropped her at daycare this morning,

but it's the transition week.
She wouldn't be quite used to it yet.



I didn't want my baby to feel left
out, adapting to the group, I just-

Get out.
- Come on, I drove 50 km!

You'll traumatize that child.
Get out of here.

Hey, it's just a man in a bath.

MORGANE: There!
- The baby?

With your colleague.
He wasn't busy.

So what are you doing?
- Establishing the initial conditions.

Obviously suicide.
- Here we go again.

Look at the floor, no traces.

Yes.

That's unprocessed tropical hardwood.
Difficult to clean.

Walking over it leaves traces.
- And his body?

So he was carried.

Or...

CHUCKLES

It has to do with that.
- The towels?

Nothing catches your eye?

One is folded in half and the rest
in quarters. A maid doesn't do that.

The perpetrator must have used a towel
to cover his tracks

and then put it back. Look.
- Put it back.

It's still wet. Feel.

Yes, still wet.

That glass

is different from the rest in the room.
You see?

Your corpse has a glass at the bar
before he got here.

He wasn't alone.

He must have rented a luxury suite
to impress a girl.

Speculation.
- Funny.

The same was said of Einstein's
theory of relativity.

Einstein, yes.
You think a lot of yourself.

Don't be jealous.

Benjamin Winckler,
born 1979. From Liege. Gilles?

After this you call Belgium,
look at the surveillance footage

and send this to the lab.
- Come on, sweetie.

Now go.

Sir can't laugh, can he?

Yes, regular customer. He drank here
yesterday around 7pm.

Alone?
- With a woman.

Brunette, in her forties,
quite handsome.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBABY TALK

Romantic or business date?
- No idea.

Anything else-
- Can you heat these up for me?

Okay.

I'm working.
- What do you think I'm doing?

In those 30 seconds, he'll probably
think of something else.

BABY TALK

I think that man was
quite tipsy when he left.

(Look. Thanks.)
- Just him, or her too?

Only him.
- What about her?

Her first name was something
with '-is'. Candice, Iris...

But that's all.

Commander, do you have a minute?

I found this on the CCTV.
8:02 pm.

This half an hour later, at 8:33 pm.

According to the doorman she came
with a red car at 7pm.

She stopped in front of the hotel
in a no parking zone.

Okay. And then?
- Nothing.

The tow service came, but left the car.

Then it could be two things.

Not many cops drive red cars.

So it's-
- A doctor.

Bingo.

Dr. Gladys Puget, surgeon at Saint-Louis?
- That's me.

Your husband died in a fatal accident
nine months ago.

And now your lover found
drowned in a bathtub.

That's a strange coincidence, isn't it?

Do you think it was me?
- I don't think anything.

Benjamin Winckler
lies dead in a hotel room...

which, according to the CCTV, he
entered with you. Can you explain that?

We met 3 months ago and got
acquainted in the hotel.

I was going through a bad patch.

Our orders were mixed up,
that's how we clicked.

Did it click?
- We slept together.

Was it just a sexual relationship?
- No no.

It was much more.

Benjamin was curator of a Bruges museum.

Usually I let myself be seduced by boring,
married men. He was single,

funny, attentive,
and of course cultured.

Everything.

It was supposed to be a romantic evening,

our evening.

We ran a bath, but he was drunk.
He went to sleep right away.

And then?

I didn't come to watch him
see sleep. I left.

When you left, he was asleep.
Or was he dead?

I'm a doctor,

I'm perfectly capable of distinguishing
a dead man from a man sleeping.

The problem is that no one entered
the room or exited after you.

How do you explain that?

I have no idea.

Right. Our deal?
- Ask politely, and knock first.

Are you serious?
GRUMBLES

(Nice.)

Come in.

Please allow me to come in to
ask if you are keeping the agreement.

I've been in contact with Missing Persons.

No trace of your friend. No bills,
taxes, insurance, nothing.

He went up in smoke.
His existence in France ends in 2005.

Do we stop there?
- If he went abroad I can't do anything.

Wait a second. Romain would
never leave Thea and me.

If you're sure he's not gone,

you have to consider something serious.

The police put him on ice.
- You have to explain that.

We took part in an occupation in Amiens

against construction of a highway.

After a few days,
the cops intervened harshly.

One argued with Romain. He was
arrested and disappeared. Nov 5, 2005.

And that's the fault of the police?
Sorry, that's bullshit.

Oh yeah? How so?
- The police don't just kill people.

"Yeah, sure!"

Fine. I will make inquiries
and prove you wrong.

Do you have any things of Romain's,
photos, letters, whatever?

Even if they don't seem important.
- Yeah.

By the way,

how's it going with Cmdr. Karadec?
- Great.

He wants me to get to know
all aspects of the trade.

We have two keys.

The key to an armored door,
with green plastic on the sides.

One with four prongs. And a beeper, gray.

Anthracite grey?
- No, more of a mouse gray.

Gilles, the Belgians say
Benjamin Winckler is alive,

but his ID went missing 6 months ago.
- Then who's the victim?

He was using a false name
for a while, it's challenging.

Check his fingerprints, DNA, everything.
- And what do I do?

You? You take that baby to daycare
or home. But away from here.

What does the Missing Persons list say?

Nothing yet, not even DNA.
Maybe he's nowhere to be found.

The surgeon?
- In pre-trial detention.

If she knew about that fake name
we may have a motive.

Tell me, what're you playing at
with Morgane?

I'll be checking on her
now and then.

Celine, this is going to get ugly.

I can't manage her, it'll affect the group!
- Don't take it that way.

Why did she want to work here?
- It's a job, pay.

Stop it, police have the worst pay.
There's something else.

That's my business.

Fuck, the sealed evidence.

What do we have here?

You see, this is designer.

Designer, but worn out
and repaired everywhere.

That's crazy, because if you have money,
don't you buy another one?

I think so, eh? Yeah.

What is that?

Pollen. This plant...
- Acacia pollen.

Crazy, they are late this year.
Not even bloomed yet.

Except when they face south!
Well done!

KNOCKING

Shit! There's sourpuss again.

Hell, is this your best?

I'm getting sick of you, handling
evidence without protection.

Against all the rules.

I'm wearing gloves,
it's all I had, right?

I must be dreaming!
You risk contaminating evidence.

Sssh, let me think, you're disturbing me.

To find that name, I have to concentrate.

The trouble you're causing me, SHIT;
you can't imagine.

Traces of cement under the soles.

Clearly there was construction going on
in his neighbourhood.

All right, what else do we have?

A hem has been placed in it.

But craftsmanship, seems
to come from a studio.

And look, the threads
don't cross each other. Strange.

That reminds me of a superstition.

I had a colleague from Madagascar
who never crossed the threads.

That way you didn't have twins.

Don't ask me why, it brings bad luck
in southern Madagascar.

Just find a list of
tailors from Madagascar.

They're not really sorted by country.

Fine, come sit next to me.

All right, now we're looking for
the longest names.

In Madagascar they
always have long names.

And everyone has a unique name.

Even two brothers don't have
the same last name, it's a mess.

Take, for example, Mrs. Rakotomalala.

We click on that.
- And Mr. Ravinjandinnanan.

We'll select that one too. Well done.

Who has a shop
near a south-facing park?

I look like an 'expert', don't I?

♪ (CSI theme parody) ♪

Do you know this man?
- Vincent. I have no address.

Last name?

Do we have Vincent's last name?
- No.

Sorry.
- Goodbye.

Do you hear that?

Birds?
- No, construction.

What do we do now, Sherlock Holmes?

Luckily I have the keys. 26, B7.
26...

26!

Vincent Berger. B7.

Daddy...
- Excuse me. Bye, miss.

Come here, Lily.
- Sorry to startle you.

Cmdr. Karadec, Lille Judicial Police.

Do you know Vincent Berger?
- Yes, my husband. Why?

Can we come in for a second?

That's Mustache, we love Mustache,

that's Castor on the right,
and this is Basil, my favorite!

Dad gave him to me for my fifth birthday.

When nightmares come, Basil stops them.

What a whopper, that Basil.

Some more tea, Your Majesty?

We were together for almost 15 years.

We did everything together.

What did your husband do for work?
- Real estate advisor.

He worked hard.

Especially since we bought this house.

The mortgage is a burden.

But he didn't mind.

Weren't you worried
when he didn't come home?

No. He was often in Paris
for client meetings.

Several times a week.

Do you know this person?

No?

Gladys Puget.
Nothing? She's a surgeon.

Vincent was not in Paris last night.

He was with this woman
at the Hotel des Bois-Blancs.

That's where we found him.

I thought I was the heavy
on our team.

'Treat the witnesses
with a little more respect.'

Do you remember?
Those were your words.

What do you want to tell me?

She just learned that her husband is dead.

She doesn't need to hear that he
had a mistress too. A little tact.

How did you know she didn't know yet?

She could barely stand up.
Do you see her killing her husband?

She had every reason to be angry.

I wanted to see her reaction.
- Stop at that bus stop.

It's okay. As for that evidence,
that stays between us.

Thanks to you, we have his identity.
Thank you, Alvaro! OK.

But one more time and I'll report it.
Clear? We are not friends, not a team.

As long as it doesn't bother you.

See you tomorrow.
On time and without the baby!

Still, it's weird, that false identity.

Who needs that to cheat on his wife?

I think that's where the key lies.
- Maybe it was for something else.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Female whales must consume
huge amounts of food.

They can eat up to 3 tons of food a day.

They filter small organisms
with their baleen.

But if necessary,
they can also go without food...

Can I?
- Yes, just this... and then.

The MA; the construction of the A24
means 147 km of asphalt...

and loss of 2000 hectares of nature
reserve and two endangered species.

That's why we demand...

Look.
- Why are you watching that old video?

You see, when he smiles, he has
just like those laugh lines like you.

I don't like it. It's morbid,
you have to stop.

That's your father, Thea.
- It's nobody, I don't know him.

He can be stolen from me.
You ruin everything because of him.

With Ludo, with the others.
You drive me crazy with your ghost.

She moved!

Kiss.

How are things in there?

Vincent Berger drowned.
No alcohol in his blood.

The witness said he was talking drunk.
- Not due to alcohol.

Yes: GBL. That's what the lab found
in the glass in the room.

GBL?
- Gamma-butyrolactone.

To clean car rims.
And a hip recreational drug.

There you are. Hello, little ones.
Fancy a sugar puff?

No thanks.
- Yes.

It does the same thing as GHB.

Excitement, willingness, amnesia, coma.

And just like GHB...

Like GHB, after a few hours
no longer found in the blood.

What have I missed?
- GBL, a cheap drug.

And the time of death?
- Between 9.30 pm and 10.30 pm.

The surgeon left at 8:33 pm.
It's not her.

How did anyone get in after that?
- Question of the day.

Through the window.
- How?

The net curtain of one
of the windows moved.

The window was probably
not closed properly.

Why didn't you say that before?
- It was a feeling.

If I keep saying that, you'll get mad.

Try anyway.

So I have the idea that
Vincent had money problems.

If you look at his clothes.
- Not if you look at their finances.

Then my feeling just isn't right.

All right, continue.

Gilles, look at that window at
the hotel, and you come with me.

We're going to Vincent Berger's office.

Yes, Vincent Berger rented this.
But his company went bankrupt.

The contract was canceled
six months ago.

Not such a bad feeling after all, eh?

Vincent Berger was really down.

He hadn't said anything to anyone.
- No, not even his wife.

I saw the company's bills.
There had been nothing for a year.

Still, it was just his business'
money going into the family account.

How, with no customers?
- Money did come in.

From savings, and 3 months ago, look.
- €80,000.

Transfer from Eve Ribois.

Do you happen to have her address?

A rest home?
Great. Thank you.

Chloe. C-h-l...

Sorry, I just wanted to check...

No, it's just her first daycare
and I still hadn't heard anything.

Okay.

My babysitters always called.

For example, what's she doing now?

How cute.
Can you send me a photo?

Okay, good.
- Are we going, Alvaro?

I have to hang up.
GILLES: Karadec?

Yeah?
- You'll never guess what

I found at the hotel.

It looks like flour,
but it's magnesium.

Used on the hands for climbing.
- I know.

Check for traces on the wall.
- There's more.

The window wasn't locked,

coming in that way was possible.
Morgane was right.

Well, of course.

That's all.
- Great.

Where are you going?
- Ask Daphne to explain.

(Get Daphne to explain...)

Hello. Mrs. Ribois?
Cmdr. Karadec, Judicial Police.

Do you mind if I record?

Mrs. Ribois, do you know Vincent Berger?

No no. No.
ERWAN: No. No.

Not familiar?
How about Benjamin Winckler?

Yes, that's my friend.

He's coming soon to
take me out for oysters,

in Trouville.

Still, Erwan?

What time is he coming?

Soon, Mom.
EVE: (Soon.)

Is my bag packed?
- Yes, don't worry.

Erwan, has your mother
been here a long time?

Two months.

Can she go out on trips?
- No, not yet.

According to the doctors it's too soon.
- Honey, is my bag ready?

Yes, your bag is ready, Mom.

Mrs. Ribois, you gave €80,000
to your friend. Can I ask why?

For my son, for a small studio
in Old Lille;

6 Rue Jean Bart.

An investment, on Benjamin's advice.

I gave him the money and

he's taking care of the paperwork.

I wanted to surprise you, honey.

He'll be here soon. Is my bag ready?

I have to go, mom.

I'll be back tomorrow.
- (Yes.)

Can I talk to you for a minute, alone?
- Yes.

ADAM: Goodbye, ma'am.
EVE: Goodbye.

ADAM: Have a good day.
EVE: Thank you.

Has she been like this for long?
- Yes.

Since she came here.

What exactly happened?

She had a stroke early this year.

Shortly afterwards I started
in business administration.

I couldn't take care of her anymore.

That's when she met Benjamin.

Do you know how they met?
-No.

Didn't you mistrust him?
- Yes, a lot.

My mother had been alone for years.

But you couldn't say anything about it.
He was great, very attentive.

But suddenly he was gone.

We haven't heard from
him for three months.

My mother had a relapse.

The doctors are talking about dementia.

Every day she thinks he's picking
her up to go to the ocean.

Your mother's ex-boyfriend was
using a false name.

His real name was Vincent Berger.

He was murdered two days ago.

All right, let's go now.

Wait; wait. What about the apartment?

What happens with that?
- We're gonna check it out.

Don't say anything to my mother,
it will kill her.

Yes, all right.

CELINE: It's a report signed by Romain.

He was released the day after his arrest.

Do you recognize his handwriting?

The most likely hypothesis is
that he wanted to disappear.

But we'll keep looking.

DAPHNE: The studio he bought
for Eve Ribois wasn't for sale.

He rented it for a day on Airbnb.

He takes care of the paperwork
and takes the money.

Taking a sick lady for 80 grand, classy.

He rented the studio again last weekend.
- Another victim?

The surgeon, Gladys. A widow for
nine months, the ideal prey.

She's vulnerable, he seduces her
and charms the €80,000 out of her.

But she wasn't in the hotel
at the time of the murder.

Anything not to
admit to being broke?

I'm not telling his wife the truth
that her husband's a big jerk.

The little 4-year-old: Daddy
dead and mommy broken. Horrible.

Five-years-old.
- Not yet. In three days.

Then why did he already
give her a present?

Hey hello, sweetie. How are you?

Mom is tired, so I'm not going to school.

Mom will be better soon, I promise.

I want to ask you something.

Could I perhaps borrow Basil from you?

I have a job for him.

Okay.
- Awesome.

Awesome. Thank you.

What kind of job is it?

Daddy told Basil a secret
and he must tell the police.

Good. Mommy says that daddy isn't
coming anymore. Is that true?

That's right, honey.

If you're dead, is that forever?

That's difficult.
Everyone thinks differently about that.

Some people think
that you will be born again.

As a butterfly, as a
fish, whatever you want.

Me as a whale, nobody can eat it.

Very good choice.

We'll let your mom get some rest.

Before Basil sets off,
he needs to eat something first. Good?

Tell me, what does
Basil like to eat?

Fruit.
MORGANE: Fruit?

MORGANE: Pretty easy, I say.

Please.
- That's nice of you.

Thank you for dealing with her.

You're welcome.
- I don't have the energy for anything.

That makes sense.
- He loved me more than anything.

I was crazy enough to believe him.

He slept with several women.
- There were more?

To take money from them, he was broke.

His company was bankrupt
and he didn't want you to know.

Why?

I'm not a psychic, but maybe he
didn't want to be a loser in your eyes.

He must have been afraid of losing you.

Very stupid, but he loved you.

MORGANE: Hey boss, can you
give me those peanuts, please?

Thanks.

What the hell are you doing here?
- Relax, let's have a drink.

Here?
- The one night you don't eat at home.

On Wednesdays you always eat Indian.

A samosa, a biryani and a mango lassi.

All for €13.50, right?

The same for him, please.
- Sure.

An apple juice and
a mineral water, please.

Are you spying on me?

No, I cleaned the office for months

and know all the receipts from your trash.

Do you realize what strangers
may know about you?

You're no stranger.

Not bad. What else?

Unmarried, no children,
lives with a 'Sofiane'

who doesn't seem to be a friend.

That's my brother.
- Oh.

A roommate at your age, that's strange.

He has an issue.
- Ah.

Well, what are we doing here?
- Meeting a stranger like me.

Our dead guy met Gladys and Eve

here, in this bar.
- Yeah...

Two rich, but vulnerable women;
ideal pigeons.

Coincidentally someone saw them,
someone she knew very well.

Look, I found this with Vincent's wife.

Well?

Here you are.
- Ah! Thank you.

Stop, damn it!

Screw you!

What are you doing?
- I'm not going back to prison!

Yeah? This'll sure help.

Do it, Gilles!

An apple juice and a mineral water.

Who drinks that?
- Alvaro?

Oh yeah: Germans.

SIREN

Geez, you'll catch your death!

Couldn't you have told me your plan?

We could've caught him
out here with the team.

Oh, it's alright.
- Don't give me 'alright.'

It's a miracle there were no injuries!

Isn't that a bit too dramatic?
- I'm too dramatic?

You put lives on the line.
I didn't have my gun-- you see?

I almost had a knife in my stomach!
- I understand, Supercop!

I didn't follow procedure
and you're not happy, OK?

It's not a game, Madam ESP.

That's how you endanger lives.

Here, a present.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's a waste.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes, that's what I wanted.

I want to do my job properly
without her risking my life.

Get dressed!

Three convictions for assault, blackmail,
receiving. Does the hotel not vet its staff?

And murder.
- I have nothing to do with that.

How did it work?
You found the targets, he seduced them?

Don't act like you don't
know what I'm talking about.

Gladys confirmed that you switched the drinks.

Vincent had money problems.
A friend helps you.

So I suggested that deal to him.
We would do fifty-fifty.

I thought it was "clean."
- "Clean"?

Is that what you call
taking advantage of weakness?

Except Vincent had
trouble with it and wanted to quit.

Did you stop him?

I don't think so.
- Why not?

Or you'd tell his wife everything?
Did you blackmail him?

He was to show Gladys the house,
but never came.

Bad luck.

It was onlu a slump, he recovered.
- I don't think so.

This was in his daughter's toy:
Cash and three plane tickets.

Argentina, one-way, for the whole family.

When was he leaving?
- In two days. With wife and child.

He wanted to start a new life.

Vincent wanted to quit
and tell Gladys everything.

You couldn't allow that. On the evening
of his death you put GBL in his glass.

You made sure to leave the window open.

You finished the job
and let Gladys pay for it.

I want a lawyer.

The lawyer's here. With him worn down
we may get a confession.

He took his break at 11 pm.

I'm awaiting the autopsy report,
but there's one concern:

He wasn't in the
hotel room at 10 pm.

Strange that Morgane isn't here yet.

Didn't find anything on Greg's account?
- He probably got it in cash from Vincent.

Okay, I screwed up.
I apologize.

I understand what you said about
responsibility and knives in bellies.

Can't you see we're busy?
- OK, but I know who the killer is.

And I haven't done anything illegal.
- Please, do tell.

It's true that on paper
the bartender is the ideal culprit.

He could easily put drugs in Vincent's
glass, and knows the hotel.

But something kept me awake last night:
his right hand.

The guy has long nails.

Good for playing guitar, but not for climbing.

No trace of him at climbing clubs around Lille.

Yeah, but the university has a club.

Thea, my daughter, knows what GBL is.
It's used by young people.

She always wants to help me.
so she picked something up for me.

She went to the business school and
talked to the very nice young people there.

They have a climbing club,
and look what she brought back:

Does he look familiar ?

The little angel who wanted to avenge his mother.

Erwan.
- Lucky the window was open.

I don't really think it was luck.
- No. There was an accomplice.

Who else could be mad at Vincent Berger
other than Erwan?

Who else?

Who was furious at being ripped off
like a woman desperate for love?

Maybe a girl with a name
ending in 'is': Iris...

Gladys!
- Bingo.

Okay.

We didn't tell your mother.
The surgeon was your accomplice.

How did you come into contact with her,
while looking for Vincent?

Did you tell her what he did to your mother?
- How she was ashamed?

Why she hated being fooled?
And then your plan.

Your decision to kill him.

The GBL, leaving the window open
when she left the room.

And now you're here.

But, but, that guy deserved it.

I left my mother with that motherfucker,
and now here she is.

She's there, but she's not there.

The doctors can't do anything for her anymore.

It's all because of him.

It's all his fault!

It's my fault.

I should have taken care of her.

What happened to her is not your fault.

Do you want to say hello to her?

Go ahead.

Leave the door open.

Mom?

I'm going abroad for school.
To Shanghai.

Shanghai! Oh my!

How amazing!
- We can't see each other that much.

But I'll call you, huh?
- Yes!

And I'll write to you.

Do you promise you'll get better?

Do you do your exercises?
- Yes of course.

Don't worry so much about me.
You have to think about yourself.

Don't worry.

I love you mom.
- Yes, I love you too.

ROMAINE AND MORGANE IN VIDEO

MORGANE: What do we demand?

Cancellation of the project!
MORGANE: Yes! Well, come on.

Are you finished?
- Uh, yes.

Paperwork to finish, but not much.

About Romain;

the last traces of him date back to 2005?
- Mm hmm.

Fifteen years?
- That's right.

Are you interested?
- Pure curiosity.

If you want, I can give you the file.
- Great.

What?
- Do you feel guilty?

Not at all.
Just curious.

Have a nice evening then.
- You too.

ROMAINE IN VIDEO

Celine?
- I'm sick of it! Leave us alone!

We're leaving. I'm taking Morgane with me
away from here. You'll never see her again.

I'm tired of it, Agnes. Do you hear me?

That was at the end of the tape.
She probably never saw that.

Tell me that nanny warms your bottle
to the right temperature.

Sure?
Because otherwise you have to shout.

It's super important to
make yourself heard, OK?

What are we eating?
- Pasta.

Again?
- Hey Thea, I didn't have time for groceries.

Then you have something delivered.
You now have work and money.

I work for the French police.
Not for the FBI or anything.

MOBILE RINGS

What is it?
ADAM: Come to the station right away.

Really now?
- Yes, really now.

It is very important.

Right, okay, I'm on my way.

I'm sorry, I'll be right back.
- It doesn't matter.

I'm sick of it! Leave us alone!

We're leaving. I'm taking Morgane with me
away from here. You'll never see her again.

I'm tired of it, Agnes.
Do you hear me?

I've never seen this.

Does the name Agnes mean anything to you?

It's my mother.
