Les petits meurtres d'Agatha Christie (2009–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Jeux de glaces - full transcript

Go ahead, Raoul, smash his head!

So, Mongolito, shall we watch?

Huh? It excites you ?

Retard! Idiot!

He will not be happy,
Dr Bousquet.

Hey ! Perhaps even
he'll give you an electro shock.

- Boom!
- Boom!

Poor guy, go!

Loose, nutty!

It's a catastrophe.

Are they going to close the center?



Chief Superintendent,
thanks for coming.

Can you manage
this delicate situation.

Commissioner Martin
retired yesterday.

Good Lord !

- So he's the one ...?
- Dede.

He is gentle as a lamb.

Prison will break him.

By what right do you dare?

Commissioner Laurence.
I'm replacing Commissioner Martin.

I was transferred to this hole
by the Minister of the Interior.

A promotion !

Ernest Tricard,
chief Superintendent.

You will obey me.

Anyway, it is resolved.
We have the victim and the culprit.



Good. Presumed death
around 1 p.m.,

One slice,
edge of the blade.

Carotid section
and the jugular vein.

Quick, almost painless death.

Do we collect stamps?

The young people you see
have been abused by life,

places in asylum or imprisonment
in terrible conditions.

So I created The Stretched Hand.

Finally, my wife and me.

We created this center
to help them.

- Great success, sir.
- Yes.

Here, we listen to them.

They are like our children.
17 souls in distress.

17, including the dead?
I like the precision.

You just lost a soul,

without counting the murderer,
good for the guillotine.

- Dede is not responsible.
- Not him.

The notch was made from the right
to the left. A left hand, then.

King Kong is right handed.

Which of your stamps is left-handed?

I hope that we will finally be rid of
of all these bad guys.

Ah well, yes.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Hello, Alice.
- Is it for the courier from the heart?

Thank you.

Alice, my little chick,
always late ?

I'm not your chick
nor your hen.

And what is this mania
to fiddle?

More and more.

Women are romantic
and need to talk about love.

Your column is a success.

Are you kidding me ?

I spend my life answering
cuckold women

for a lousy salary.

I would need a promotion.

I offered that to you.
You refused them all.

Every week it's
the end of the month.

We could find a solution.

You could especially
give me a real job.

The woman works!

I am offered jobs

and they put their hand on my butt.

You should have stayed
housewife, Alice.

For dinner, do you think?

You're not close to putting me
in your bed !

Neither you nor anyone else.

Oh no, not her!

You are really amazing,
miss.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Finally, I had not seen
that you were there.

You are...

the new commissioner?

Unbelievable.

Marlene.

Are you attached to this office?

"Attached"? As...

"attached"?

There may be several
interpretations, right?

Emotionally attached
by memories,

tied up ... physically, tied up,

or tied in a way
more administrative,

like a secretary
attached to her boss.

I am a secretary
and I attach easily.

You got acquainted
with Marlene.

I would like introduce you
to the inspectors

that can accompany you.

Thanks, but I work alone.

But it's a huge load,
responsabilities...

It is not negotiable.
I only keep the secretary ...

particular.

I am your superior
and I give the orders.

I am here to learn
flexibility, sir.

I want a report today.

It shouldn't be long
before I arrest the right culprit.

In 3 copies.

Are you okay honey?

It is so horrible.
I am shocked.

You chose those
who will share our dinner?

Yes. Given the trauma suffered,
Dede and then Raoul,

he controls his
violent impulses better.

There are journalists.
They take pictures.

It begins.
My God, it's tiring.

Etienne, call Pierre, will you?

- Let him intervene right away.
- Yes.

Mom, your medicine.

Thank you darling.

They are not used much.

I still feel so bad.

Are you talking seriously here?

No it's impossible.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

It is very serious, what you tell me.

Come spend the weekend.
We will talk about it.

But please
not a word to Rose-Marie.

Today's drama,
It disturbed her enough.

Good. See you later.

What's going on ?

Nothing. Pierre will solve the problem
with journalists.

Do not lie to me.

You're scared.
What did he want?

Nothing, I'm telling you.

- I'll tell mom.
- Hold on !

I'm sure he's wrong,
it can't be true,

but he imagines that someone
wants to kill your mother.

One of the pins?

He didn't want to tell me on the phone,
but, please ...

Shut up !

I did not intend
to use this information.

At least not before
I have discussed it with you.

The Northern Way will not cause
harm to The Outstretched Hand.

No no no.
You have my word.

Mme Bousquet will no longer be bothered.
I will take care of it personally.

Shit.

What information" ?

- What are you doing here?
- Advice from Marie-Chantal.

- What information ?
- Drop it.

- Who was it ?
- You're too curious, Alice.

This is the first quality
of a journalist.

That of an editor,
is to close it.

Freedom of press !

What world do you live in, Alice?
The duck belongs to Montauban.

My freedom ends when he
asks me to hush up a murder

and not to go snooping
at The Outstretched Hand.

"A murder" ? There was a murder
and we don't write anything?

There, calm down.

He's just a moron
who killed another moron.

So you, keep quiet?

End of the discussion.

Well. When is the boss coming?

I do not know.

A-ssa-ssi-na.

- What's this ?
- A report in 3 copies.

There is a "t" in "assassination".

Thank you.

- Is that the Outstretched Hand murder?
- Yes.

They have crazy people running free.
Weird things are happening there.

- It is true.
- We never talk about it, but ...

Hello !

- Who is the nosy?
- Alice Avril, reporter.

I'm investigating the murder
at The Outstretched Hand.

The cops are investigating.
Journalists piss off the copy.

If you want.
I'm not upset.

But maybe you can give me
some tips

on your investigation, history
to raise the level of my copy?

- Marlene?
- Yes ?

Are you a physiognomist?

If you want, commissioner.
I mean, with pleasure.

Memorize this face

and don't let it pass
the door to my office.

But she is already
in your office.

She is no longer here.

You too,
have you been asked to buckle it up?

I do not care,
I'll manage on my own.

So do that.

You do not know
who you are dealing with.

Yes, a pain in the ass.

Hey ! I...

Ah well, it's crazy.
What am I doing?

- Pierre Montauban is coming this evening?
- Yes. Something is bothering him.

- Etienne didn't tell me anything.
- Does he know about the money?

- You know what I think.
- Finally...

Jimmy wants to open his garage,

we don't have any money, and I don't want
live like a poor woman.

The center is an botomless pit,

and I'm being asked for money.
Jacqueline, then you.

Etienne's project
is a great cause.

Mom, that's a question
of life or death.

Juliette ... always big words.

You will have your share when I die.

I won't give you anything
before that.

here you are.

Oh, how sweet, Dede.

Are not you ashamed ?
You love them more than us!

The Stretched Hand

Hello!
Is it me who scared you?

You could be one of them.
Are you one of them?

I do not think so.
Who is "them"?

- Those who prevent me from speaking.
- Have you been asked to shut up?

Who is it? Pierre Montauban?
Dr Bousquet?

They have no name.
They spy on me, they follow me.

- Did you find something?
- Yes ! I have proof.

I am the son
of the President of the Republic.

- What can I do for you ?
- I need a job.

Any job.

I am in a terrible situation.
I do not know what to do.

Why me ?

I know who you are,
what you do.

You reach out
to those who drown,

to those who no longer know
who to turn to.

I'm just asking for a living

and make my little one live
when he comes into the world.

Does this child have no father?

Jacqueline ...

Juliet ...

Mrs Bousquet ...

Doctor...

Doctor, dear doctor ...

Leonard ...

I do not know
what I will do with you.

You will make the room upstairs,
for M. Montauban.

My mother managed to find
a new palm.

Paid, in addition.

And we will have to endure
your belly forward.

Here, put this on.
Try not to get fat.

- I will do my best.
- Yes thanks.

Back right.

Thank you.

I was taking a picture of the park.

That's wonderful.

You come from the institution, right?
Are you a boarder there?

It seems that there is
only boys. It is true ?

There are some who would have been
in prison.

I learned about the crime yesterday.
This is terrible.

Were you there?

Did you
notice anything?

I chat, I chat ...

and then I prevent you
to do your job.

Your new servant is never
there when I need it.

- If this continues, I'll get the hell out.
- Whatever you want.

Obviously! All these annoyances,
It turns your stomach upside down.

These pins
only bring problems.

The smallest camera
in the world, the Minox B.

You can hide it anywhere.

He takes very small photos,
so ?

Marlene, you are
my only comfort in this desert.

I am a little slow to type.

Commissioner Martin
never asked me that.

I see, yes.

On the other hand,
he liked my coffee very much.

I would like to stay here.

I love this job, and I will learn.

But there is no problem,
Marlene.

I am happy with you.

Pierre, I'm happy to see you.

- Good evening, Jacqueline.

I prepared your room.
Would you like a cup of tea?

I would like to speak to Etienne.

I guess you didn't come
just to see me,

but you have time,
Etienne comes home late.

Rose-Marie is here?

No. She felt bad.
She is still resting.

I worry about her.
You know how I love her.

I advised her against
to grant your request.

- Did she tell you?
- Yes.

I know:no money.

It was a good investment,
but you are the businessman.

Let's go home.

No, it can't wait.

- I'll go to the center.
- Hold on. I come with you.

- I'm stunned.
- Not here.

Say, you didn't say anything
to Jacqueline, eh?

No.

We'll eat in an hour.

- Change and put on shoes.
- Leave me alone.

Looks vulgar

Pierre works in his room.
He will join us for dinner.

I find him worried, distant.
There is a problem ?

You are the problem.

- You have spoken to him ?
- Yes Yes.

Stories of numbers.

I don't understand a thing.

Yes. Fortunately he is here.

- Anyone want a drink?
- Yeah.

- Mom, your drops.
- Not tonight.

- It's ridiculous.
- I said no.

- That's enough now !
- Tada!

I forbid you
to make fun of me,

you all !

Leonard, we're both gonna talk.

- It's too late !
- Shhh.

Come to my office.

It's too late !

He seemed good though,
lately.

It's unbearable.

But yes, poor man, he is suffering.

Etienne will settle this.

Of course !

You are smart. Well done !

It's not me, leave me alone.
The electricity should be redone.

I'll change the fuse.

You're lying !

- I have a gun!
- Leonard, that's enough.

Put down that gun.

- He's going to kill him!
- But no !

Shut up !

Don't say another word!

It’s me speaking!

Me, the bastard nobody wants

Yep, I know about it.
It's over, the secrets!

You are the liar!

Leonard, the crazy ...

We lock him up,
and the problem is no more.

It's all very melodramatic.

The farm !

It will not happen like that!

Open! Open!
Open right away!

What is this noise?

Gunshots ?

Tonin, Leonard shot Etienne.

They locked themselves up.

Everything is fine.

- I call the police.
- No. It's a medical problem.

Then Leonard is calm.

- I did not want to.
- Of course.

I'll give you a sedative
you are going to have a good night.

Come on, come on.

Can you tell Mr. Montauban
that we are at the table?

Yes of course.

Mr. Montauban?

Sir?

Hello, commissioner.

Sorry.

We don't get bored at your place.

A real dirty job.

- Who discovered the body?
- The maid.

Everyone in the living room.

Except you.

Miss Avril, you again.

I changed jobs.

A job more within your reach.

I was here before you.
I spent the day here.

Everything is here.
I would make a good cop.

Very good. Come.

Come closer.

Go Go go. Closer.

First observations?

That's all ?

Nothing to say ?

The decomposition of a body
begins immediately after death.

Lack of oxygen, autolysis
tissue, rigidity, putrefaction.

You are sadistic, eh!

I await your deposition.
Then I don't want to see you anymore.

If I want.

And be brief.
I am not a potential reader.

I knocked, I entered,
He was dead.

Ah yes, no.

I went up the two floors
and walk along the corridor.

- The law requires you to testify.
- To say what ?

I saw nothing, heard nothing.
I was in the dining room.

I know my rights.

- Take her into custody.
- On what grounds ?

I am spoiled for choice:

intrusion into a house
under a false pretext,

no alibi,
obstruction of justice.

- Abuse of power.
- I handcuff?

Handcuff.

I will complain.

So do that.
Also write an article.

Ouch!

It's my weapon.

It was in my room,
and this pin took it.

To summarize,
but stop me if I'm wrong,

while one
of your cured patients

was trying to kill you,

someone from outside
assassinated Montauban.

Leonard didn't mean any harm.
He was just confused.

Of course, that makes sense.

Was the door not closed?

It still is,

but Juliette forgets
to close that of the terrace.

In 5 minutes,
she'll accuse me of murder.

So you were all here?

- Except me.
- Who are you?

Antonin Lambert.
I am Rose-Marie's nephew.

I came back with the light.

Jimmy wasn't here either.

- I was changing a fuse.
- You say that.

You are the last
to have seen Pierre alive.

- Is that true ?
- Yes.

He wanted to write a letter,
I left it and I came here.

There was this horrible scene ...

- And the living room was in the dark?
- Yes.

I who lacked ideas
for a production!

Well. Have you had enough?

Can I go?

I have to go to work.

You are fired.

Like me, Mme Bousquet
does not like journalists.

Do you have coffee?

Not yet.

I know things.

I listen.

Give and take.

I observe,
and I'll report back to you.

It takes talent to transform
a weasel into a mole.

Still so unpleasant?

You know nothing.

So ... Bousquet ...

The murder had to be committed
by one of the young people of the institute.

The place is firm and guard at night.

418
00:someone came from outside, it happened
by the service staircase.

97 ...

And there is the letter that has disappeared.

Ah yes ?

When I walked in
there was a letter in the office.

When you arrived, it was no longer there.

Not a single line
while the investigation is ongoing.

No, but you give me
all the elements.

Great, we are a team. Take five !

I do not know why,
but I already regret it.

No no no.

- I'm not taking you.
- I can't walk there?

My scooter stayed
at the Bousquet's.

Do you have a scooter?

A scooter that you parked here
yesterday morning ?

No.

Not at all. I don't care
for your company either.

Ciao.

I like it.

Are you not in mourning?

Black doesn't suit me.

Are you going back to the United States?

Without doubt, yes.

Are you taking me for a walk?

Again.

I came to see your father.

My father died 11 years ago.

Etienne is my mother's 2nd husband.
I was adopted at the age of 2.

Rose-Marie needs to do good.

She didn't like her first daughter
so she chose another one?

You are mean.

It is true that Jacqueline
has always been ugly.

My mother couldn't stand the idea
of another childbirth.

Juliet!

You come ?

Ah, the cousin is getting impatient.

In fact, it's not really
my cousin.

It simplifies things.

I couldn't say anything
in front of my wife.

- This is so crazy.
- You are used to.

No. "Crazy" in the sense ...

I understand the various senses
of the word "madness".

But you lack clarity.

- Stop beating around the bush.
- Very good.

Pierre came to see me
because he thought that ...

someone is trying to kill Rose-Marie.

- It's crazy.
- Exactly.

It turns out that she is in pain.

Nausea, pain
joints, cramps ...

Sometimes uneasiness.

At first glance, nothing alarming.

for a layman.

Arsenic causes inhibition

essential enzymes
to metabolism

and leads to death
by multiple failures.

How do you know that?

Someone is trying to poison
this woman loved by all,

husband, children, friends.

- Who did Montauban suspect?
- I do not know.

My wife's drops
are in the living room.

Anybody
can pour poison into it.

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Someone is trying
to murder my wife.

Withholding of evidence
is akin to complicity.

Sorry ?

The corpse is not the one
of your wife,

but of a man who retired
to write a letter

and that we found dead.

Until then, everything makes sense.
Are you following me, Bousquet?

I would like to read this letter.

Now.

I wanted to protect my wife.
She is fragile.

I don't want her to know.
So don't tell her anything.

Pierre did not have time
to finish it.

"Dear Doctor Garan ..."

Yes. The family doctor.

"I am worried about Rose-Marie.

"I think a loved one is poisoning
this sweet and innocent woman.

"I started to have doubts
when..."

Go!

Stop, don't move.

Don't look at me.
Redo your lace.

- Please !
- My God.

Like that, how are you?

- You go ?
- I'm taking a sample to the lab.

- Did you find something?
- No.

Are you going in circles?

Finally, you are perfect,
in that costume.

I remembered a detail.

The nephew, the,

he says he arrived after the shots
firing, but he is wrong.

I heard his car
and saw the headlights 10 minutes before.

- You are sure ?
- Yes.

He would have had time
to run up the stairs,

to go upstairs
and kill Montauban.

But we don't know why.

There must be a motive.

Oh, the jerk.

Superb car.

There is a little noise
when I pass the 3rd.

I can look ?
I am a mechanic.

I can also fix that.

You are not a very good driver.

But I can do it you know
for pleasure.

It won't stop me from
arresting you, if you are guilty.

You scared
one of those scares!

The police are here, they will take me away.
I'm hiding.

You are not at risk,
since you didn't do anything.

You have an alibi,
you were with the doctor.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

You still stole
and threatened with a gun.

No. It was there, that's all.

Who gave it to you?

I do not know,
it was in my pocket.

Like that?
No one is going to believe that.

Who gave it to you?

I do not remember !
I have gone mad!

Go away.

Leave me! Go away !

Madame Bousquet, we are expecting you.

Thanks, Alice, but I'm not hungry.

I am so upset.

Pierre was a good man.

- Were you very close?
- Yes.

He was the friend of my 1st husband.

Who am I going to
trust with my fortune now?

He took care of everything.

I put the table on the terrace.

You are kind.

You feel well ?

Yes. Why ?

Pregnancies
are sometimes very painful.

These nauseas are terrible.

Well i feel a little
smeared, but not too much.

Dr Garan will pass.
He will examine you.

- It's beautiful. Is that from you?
- Oh no. This is Etienne's project.

It's his dream.
He spents whole nights here.

It's an island ?

My husband wants to buy it
for a new world,

take our young people there and prove
that life can be different.

It would be nice,
but it is not feasible.

A utopia.

This is the reason I love him.

It's awesome.
Mom will love this idea.

We are going to rehearse in the barn
at least a month.

It will make a good investment.

- What do you think about that ?
- Nothing. We will be gone.

Impossible. I have the leading role.

I have lots of ideas,
but I lack fuunds.

Young people will be on stage.
You could finally serve.

It's okay, I'm kidding.

Stop, Jimmy.
You have no more humor.

- Has anyone seen Leonard?
- No, and so much the better.

I'm worried about him.

Rather worry about us.

There are two criminals around.

You have to trust me.

Breathe slowly.

It starts from there.

There, like that.
The air is rising now.

Spread the ribs, inflate the chest.

And release.

You're not focused, here.

Hello, commissioner.

You experiment
new methods of seduction?

I am a playwright and a writer.
It is my job.

putting on a performance in a barn
is not a profession.

- What do you live on?
- Patrons appreciate my art.

You live on the charity of Bousquet.

My aunt believes in my talent.

According to a reliable witness,

there is time between
your arrival and your appearance.

Did you get lost?

No alibi at the time of the crime?

- It's exciting.
- I have no time to waste.

OK. I can explain everything.

I arrived,
the park was in the fog.

It was like a revelation.

I had found the atmosphere
that I wanted to transmit.

Apart from this collection of bullshit,
nothing else ?

A shot, maybe?
A movement on the steps?

I'm not sure, but I believed
heared rushing footsteps,

someone running.

Yes. Decidedly,
you do nothing.

Commissioner!

You scared everyone else away.

It is very bad
for the joints.

Ah yes.

Thank you.

So, April?
Do you want to lose weight?

Stop it, it is possible.
He had time to kill Montauban.

You're requested on the phone.

The laboratory.

Say, you,

it's not because you are
pregnant that you can do nothing.

There is work in the kitchen.
Go!

"Go"!

Was that arsenic?

Ah, that changes everything.

Thank you. You did a good job.

- It was what ?
- Nothing.

Go find Juliette and the poet.

You have learned something.

The mechanic too.
Finally, if your condition allows it.

Why are you looking like that ?

And who is the happy father?

What is happening ?

Will you take a glass of tea,
commissioner?

Thanks, but I'm not sure
maybe later.

- Why ? Is there news ?
- Yes.

Which of you killed Montauban?

Is this a joke?

I'm not good at jokes
but I have a lot of patience.

I will find out.

Good night.

So, should I serve the tea or not ?

I love the speed.

It's a ring
which must have been expensive, Mrs. White.

It bothers you
that I am married?

It's marriage that bothers me.

I am not Antonin.

I don't like you?

You are good,
but I am not a taker.

- Will you lecture me?
- I don't care what you do.

But I only sleep with women
that I choose.

I want to go home,
since I don't interest you.

But you interest me ...

as a suspect.

Who is the best?

"No new fact."

You speak !

But what a fake ass!

Well, everyone is on their own.

Hi.

You cannot enter here.

What is that ?

It comes from America.

He reads FBI magazines.

And he has a small device
which makes small photos.

Everything for the show.

If he finds you here,
it will fall on me.

- It was you I came to see.
- Is that so ?

Ah yes. The newspaper asked me
to create a beauty section,

on women's stuff.

Creams, powders,
do you recognise yourself here?

And will that be in the newspaper?

Well yes, sure.

With a photo.

What are you doing ?

- The commissioner questioned me.
- In his car ?

I have particular methods.

Stay away from her.

How long does it take
to change a fuse?

What?

Climb the stairs, kill Montauban ...

It shouldn't have taken
more than 2 minutes.

He scares me.

You never know what he's thinking.

You are not being cared for enough.

You could be pretty,
if you made an effort.

The commissioner spoke to you
of the murder of Montauban?

He doesn't tell me anything.
He is fantastic !

Oh ! You are in love ?

Bad idea.

He is married ? I don't fall
for married men.

They promise to divorce ...
They all want the same thing.

That's what he wants, too.

Why don't you look
for a nice boy

who wouldn't look at you
like prey ?

Do you read "Marie-Chantal"?

Huh?

Mail from the heart
in La Voix du Nord.

She says :
"Women are prey."

So, we're chatting, girls?

Commissioner,

Miss Avril came
to interview me.

She is not really
in your office, well, I think.

Indeed.

But remember, she's always
sneaking like a weasel.

Take this to develop.

Yes sir.

I'm the one
sneaking around ?

You take me for a marble.

You never respected
our deal.

It is true.

Someone was poisoning Rose-Marie.
Montauban had discovered it.

You impress me.

Is that so ?
Don't try to bamboozle me.

I advise you not to write
about the murder of Montauban.

Am I to worry ?
I'm not the one who broke our deal.

Montauban had spoken of his suspicions
to Bousquet.

And after ?

Bousquet does not want
talk to his wife.

It suits you, is that it?

You wait for the assassin
to take a wrong step?

It's disgusting.
While she risks her life.

Did you think about it?

- She's so sweet.
- She is rich.

Think, instead of having
a lot of emotions.

They all depend on her.
This dear Rose-Marie owns everything.

Well. Perhaps. Bye !

- April!
- What?

A gift.

What's this ? A summary of the facts?

The statement from the bodybuilder.

You can pay in installments.

You can't sleep ?

I can not handle
a new shock.

I am tired.

All this violence everywhere ...

You're not hiding anything from me?

No. I am like you.
I am upset.

- I know you, there is something else.
- But no.

Finally Yes.
I'm worried about Leonard.

I did not see him again
and he needs me.

I need you too.

I'm here.

What...
What are you doing here ?

A promotion, Marie-Chantal?

- So what ? There is no shame.
- If you say so.

Leonard Jeandel is missing
and I've never noticed it.

What can you tell me?

Finally, you can't
do without me.

Mytho.., paranoid ...

There are people in his head.

That's all ?

He claims that the murder weapon
appeared in his pocket.

- I do not believe it.
- Me neither. He can be influenced.

The crisis with Bousquet
was programmed like a grenade.

The murderer waits for it to explode,

and acts at that time.

It's doable.

Jimmy was not in the living room.
It's his weapon.

No. Too easy.

I forgot.

Where did I put that?

The murder weapon,
hidden in the piano bench.

There is a silencer with that.
It's funny.

I didn't touch them
with the fingers.

Withholding of evidence.

Remind me to charge you for it.

He is never happy.

I smell like a strong odour
of testosterone.

Don't push them too hard.

Are you jealous, commissioner?

I am not frustrated. They are.

What's going on ?

Madame Bousquet.

You scared mom out.

Don't worry, the commissioner
won't stop me.

I don't like it when you're cynical.

You don't realize how
the situation is untenable.

I prefer the other Juliet,
my attentive daughter.

Thanks for the chocolates.

- She wants something.
- No it's not me.

- A chocolate ?
- Yes thanks.

I'll even take the whole box.

- You killed him?
- Not yet.

Above all, don't thank me.

You are completely wrong.
He was trying to calm me down.

You sream like a piglet.
What is your problem ?

Good. We found Leonard.

Death by hanging.

The weight of the body tightens the curl,

which forms in the flesh
a single furrow in the shape of an arrow

directed upwards.

Interesting.

Come see, Avril.
We can learn at any age.

Is that all that does to you?
I am disgusted.

Frankly disgusted.

Can't you feel anything?

- Dear Marie-Chantal ...
- That's it, laugh.

At least I feel
something for this boy.

- Keep your lessons on hanging.
- The correct word is "strangulation".

- Register for the 1000 Francs.
- Imperfect furrows.

Leonard was strangled
and later hanged here.

It’s murder.

It took strength.

It's a man, or Jacqueline,
because she's tough.

Juliet, no.

- Two people.
- Juliet and Jimmy?

Or Juliette and Antonin.

It looks like
that I made a friend.

Sit down, Alice.
You must be upset.

Two corpses in two days,
in your state ...

Thank you Madam.

How can you assert
that it's a murder?

I won't teach you
your job, doctor.

Leonard was killed
between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.

The expert confirms that.

I imagine you were all
asleep.

I went to bed early,
I was exhausted.

I left Etienne in his office,

and I took a sleeping pill.

What time was it?

Quite late.
I do not know.

Me neither. I do not notice
the time when I work.

But it was 3 a.m.
when I went up.

And you ?

- I was in my room.
- With Mr. White?

No. I was sleeping here
on the couch.

It had to happen.

Shut up.

I wrote in my room.

- So no one has an alibi.
- I do not believe it.

You are wrong.

Leonard was in a state of collapse
psychological,

with suicidal tendencies.

I know his case well.

So you must have noted
that he was weak and manipulable.

The murderer gave him a gun
and incited him against you.

I don't know if he premeditated the murder
or if he then realized

that Leonard could be dangerous
and drop a sentence.

Either way, he was becoming a threat.

- What are your arrangements?
- I do not understand.

Who inherits when you die?

My first husband's fortune
as well as my personal fortune

will be devided equally
between my daughters and Antonin.

You knew that ?

Yes.

I have always considered Tonin
like my son.

Why nothing for your husband?

My wife donated my share to me.

We needed it
to create the center.

Family is everything to me.

I do not see the link
with this horrible death.

One of the nice members
of this family

trying to poison you.

Well done.

But what is he doing?

Confiscated.

And this one, you want it too?

Arsenic.

Emptying your stomach should suffice.

- Would you let me eat that?
- A perfect crime.

I thought about.

I have a great idea.

Wait.
At least listen to me.

I read it in a novel.
It works.

Mom is in bed.
She is in shock.

I have the impression that there is
something more than she lets on.

I'm scared,
I don't know what's going on.

It's a miss, for the atmosphere.
It's gonna be cheerful.

Thank you. It's nice you haven't said anything.

I would have liked to see Jimmy's face
when he learned that we were together.

I should not have lied.

Yes, but you did.
So you have no more alibi.

It was only half lie.
You left at midnight.

Hardly enough for the cop.
This guy is foul.

- What are you doing with him?
- Commissioner ?

No, idiot. Your husband.

You have nothing in common with him,
you know.

He might be a good guy,
but you flush old flowers.

He has nothing.

No class, no fortune.

He even has no ambition.

Juliet, you are a princess.

I don't really know anymore.

He was different there.

He changed.

You really have no shame.

I'm worried about mom
and you, you are cheating on your husband!

At least
I am not a hypocrite.

You're bitter! Frustrated!
You're jealous to the bone!

Do you know what you are?

A bitch, a vicious.

Like your mother, rotten to the bone.

- The same !
- I hate you !

This is the dumbest idea
that I have ever heard.

You fell over bumped your head.
Stop reading novels.

My idea is great.

It's because you didn't get it.
You are so pretentious!

But admit it,
you are annoying like a louse.

It hurts.
Oh, that hurts that.

Try, and I make you eat
these chocolates until the last.

You care about me a bit, though.

Where were you really when Montauban was murdered
This night 23:00, the barn, Silence has its price.

We must settle this matter
as quickly as possible.

The prefect is getting impatient. So am I.
It's not moving forward, good God!

Arrest one or two patients,
that we do not deem helpless.

Yes Yes.

With a bit of luck,
it will be the right one.

The killer is a loved one
by Mme Bousquet.

You deraille completely.

You want to create a sparkle
bevause you're new arrival in town?

But beware, my little Laurence,
I have my eye on you.

At the slightest misuse,
I'm breaking you.

I won't get over it.

- I am not joking.
- Of course, chief.

You have this habit of putting
your nose where you shouldn't

everywhere you go.

We change the jar,
but the pickle remains the same.

Huh?

I never let go.
Neither here nor elsewhere.

What are you doing ?

I don't want to fight anymore.
I'm giving up.

It's your dream.

I do not believe it anymore.

Look at me, Etienne.

We're together, you and me.

I will always be there.

It'll get better.

Did you receive it too?

I was looking for you.
I couldn't sleep.

Why ?

You are not with Antonin,
like yesterday ?

We talked, that's all.

What are you looking for, Juliette?
What are you looking for ?

I do not know.

I want to live.
I feel a little stuck.

I feel like I'm going
to become a housewife

without having done anything.

Me, I'm going home.

You can't, you love me.

We didn't know each other.
It was stupid.

I thought you would like to lead
the same life as me, but no.

I'm a simple guy, and you
you are whimsical and spoiled.

I go home.

Go ahead, dare to tell me,
that you love me more.

Look me in the eyes
and tell me you don't love me anymore.

Anyway,
you're on the suspect list.

You are even on the front line.

You weren't in the living room, and we know
that you hate my mother.

- What are you still doing here?
- I made you some coffee.

Thank you.

Its good ?

It's ... It's surprising, Marlene.

It's like you.

- You don't have to stay.
- No one is expecting me.

I put in chicory.
It gives a little taste.

You don't have to
fall in love.

You are so nice.

Not at all.

I'm cold, unpleasant
and incapable of the slightest feeling.

Yes, you are nice.
And a little sad too.

Well. Let's work,
since you are here.

First Jacqueline,
ugly and old maid.

She hates her mother,
who prefers her sister.

Oh, that's ugly.

- The poor.
- Try to be objective.

Yes, commissioner.

She hates Juliet, too.

It hurts.

Commissioner?

Commissioner?

Lambert lack of money
for his grandiose project,

and Jimmy, as long as he's married,

he can put his hand
on fortune, too.

Damn, I almost forgot!
Miss Avril's message.

What message ?

She called when Mr. Tricard
got angry with you.

It was totally unfair.

- Marlene ...
- Yes, commissioner?

Yes ... So she said:
"Tell Laurence ..."

She is not polite.
She could say "commissioner".

I find her nice.

She's going to write an article
on me with a photo and I ...

"The fish will bite the hook."

"23:00 tonight at the barn"?

It's weird, isn't it?

April!

Alice, for God's sake!

Here, that's good. Like that.

Go Go go.

It's good. Breathe, breathe.

I feel bad.

Take a deep breath, come on.

Lack of oxygen deteriorates
the brain, if you had one.

You risk absolutely nothing.

- Oh no, not him.
- Why ?

I do not know.
I found him nice.

Stop whining.

Come on stand up.

Go hide.

Good.

You have a minute
to explain yourself.

I don't get it.

I found a letter
in my room.

I still believe
it's an Antonine joke.

He thinks I'm an idiot.
I came to beat him up.

In fact it's you
that beat me.

Thanks for taking me home.

I did not have the choice.

Jimmy, did you believe him?

Either he is lying,
or there was someone else

and he kept me from cornering him.

Thanks to me.

Whatever you did
you do not have a clue.

Sorry, I was only
busy dying.

No ! I had my reckoning
in the barn.

No need to remember
that I live in a rotten room.

We're not all dressed in silk.

That doesn't mean
not doing the dishes.

You are obnoxious and unbearable.

I've stirred things up.

- And I saved your life.
- Yeah!

Knocking out one more innocent.

First Dede, now Jimmy.

You couldn't hit
the right person, for a change?

Do not tempt me.

Stay home tomorrow.
You have done enough.

- A reconstruction?
- Shut up. You're not here.

You run in the fog
to kill Montauban.

Enter the office
and close the door.

- You weren't here, you were there.
- I do not remember.

Miss Avril,
make yourself useful, draw the curtains.

- Certainly, sir.
- Good.

Lambert and White
are somewhere in the house.

Women can leave
the room without being seen.

Not Mme Bousquet.

It looks like a play.

Explain yourself.

No I do not know,
why I say it like that.

They are in the dark
like spectators,

while a drama is playing
just out there.

Is it stupid?

No. I should have thought about it sooner.
You are right.

Of course, it's obvious.

All that's missing is the real motive.

The illusion resides
in the eyes of the beholder.

Outside ! Go away!

Well done for the number below.
The big cop in action.

I was convinced that you were going
designate the culprit, but nothing.

You don't have the capacity
to understand,

but that doesn't mean
it doesn't make any sense.

Explain to me, then.
I would be remiss if I died an idiot.

"The illusion lies
in the eyes of the beholder. "

Goodbye.

OKAY. Thank you.

- Come back here.
- Make up your mind, eh!

You searched
in the affairs of the dead?

Okay, you've searched.

I just took a look.
For what was in it ...

Socks, boxer shorts,
2, 3 work items.

Like what ?

In the register genre
with numbers.

Is it interesting ?

Monsieur will only have to ring
if he needs me.

- Are you searching something ?
- I clean.

Turn around.

- Raise your arms.
- I did not do anything.

A word of advice, keep doing nothing.

I studied your file.
You are strong, to play stupid.

You will end up in the cell.

- I'm part of the protocol.
- You were one of them.

We will get you back
where you belong.

The holidays are over.

Give.

What was it doing with you?

I did not know.

It's a memory for me.
I loved Pierre.

"Memory" ?

- You loved him.
- I've always loved him.

Since I was a teenage girl.

- He never knew.
- Of course he knew.

I would have done better to shut up
That day.

He looked at me like I was crazy.

And I felt like an idiot.

As soon as he could, he avoided me.
He was indifferent, icy.

Why are you sticking your nose
in my life ?

I don't like your attitude.
You are fired!

Go!

A glass of vodka,
can you do that?

Miss Jacqueline fired me.

She thinks she is at home.
She pisses everyone off.

She would do well
to go home.

The bailiffs are in line
at her door.

- Is that so ?
- She has every palm in the stock market.

All this so that her Montauban
admires her sense of placement.

"Her Montauban"?

The old maid has fantasies.
No one cared about her.

Even him, for that matter.

See you soon.

But yes !

Silence!

Not a word.

Oh no, eh!

Hope it is worth it.

Obviously. I did not sit
on a chair all day for nothing.

It's Jacqueline.

- No kidding ?
- She loved Montauban.

Montauban rejected it,
she killed him.

And she had the time
to return to the living room.

If we add to that she's expecting
the heritage of Rose-Marie,

The circle is complete.

QED.

What?

quod erat demonstrandum,
what was to be shown.

Yeah. You can't help yourself
to impress.

But I found out!

Obviously there was
Marie-Chantal trying to succeed.

If we add to this
that everyone hates Jacqueline,

All is for the best.

Here is. QED, what.

Are we going to overwhelm her?

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

It's a pleasure to work
with you.

April!

Above all, don't be shy.

"A disappointed love can lead
to the worst extremes. "

What style.

Give me that, it is my article.

Get dressed.

What?

It's your moment of glory.
I'll be waiting for you downstairs.

Ah, shit.

Pants ... pants ...

Let the engine run!

- What are you doing ?
- I'm leaving. I won't go to the asylum.

You get off!

Juliet ...

look at me. Everything is fine.

Now it's enough.

You...

You are sick.

It's over.
I don't stay another day!

What's wrong with him?

He thinks he's John Wayne.

- When are you going to get a divorce?
- Raoul threatened me.

But we work on his impulses.

You laugh ?
He stole a car!

It doesn't work, your thing.

It will never work!

A family breakfast,
how touching.

What is this girl doing here?

Alice Avril, reporter.
I'm investigating with the commissioner.

You disappoint me, Alice.

Without me you would be dead.
Go ahead, commissioner.

April, don't overdo it.

Good.

What are spectators doing at the theater?

They are witnessing something
that does not exist.

They hear,
they see a decor, a scene,

but nothing is true, everything is false.

Is the cursed poet okay?

Who was there on stage?

Two characters
in a dramatic situation:

Leonard threatening to kill
the good doctor.

The madman and the psychiatrist
face to face...

in performance.

I assure you
that the situation was very real.

What does a character do
when he leaves the stage?

He drops the mask
and becomes himself again.

It was very risky, doctor ...

but playable.

Shut up !

It’s me speaking!
Me, your son!

The dirty bastard,
the one that no one wants!

But yes, I know about it!
It's over, the secrets!

I'm not crazy!
You are the liar!

Leonard, the madman.

We lock him up,
and the problem is no more.

No, shut up!

I do not care !

Everyone must know
what a dirty man you are.

I want to see you
tremble!

We're going to end it ...

That's good, Leonard.

It's good.

This is wrong, you are wrong.

Etienne had no reason
to kill Peter,

let alone poison me.

He only wanted to
deflect suspicion.

Montauban accused him
to have embezzled your fortune

for the benefit of his imbecile project
new world.

This letter designated him
as guilty.

He replaced it with another,

in which he invented
the assassination attempt.

You put arsenic
in the bottle.

It almost worked.

- But no.
- Yes.

He premeditated the 1st murder
and manipulates Leonard.

You have emptied her accounts.
Montauban noticed it.

I arrest you for the murder
of Pierre Montauban

and that of Leonard Jeandel.

Murderer!

You killed Pierre
for your stupid project.

I hope you die!

Shut up ! Go away !

Go all!
I don't want to see you anymore.

Curtain.

Come.

Mom ... My little mom ...

- I feel sorry for Rose-Marie.
- Marie-Chantal!

It is true.

Women are crazy.

Her husband kills,
she continues to love him.

Worse: she worships him
like a god.

When Leonard threatened him,
she didn't flinch.

Everyone was panicking,
but then she ...

"Oh well, no.
Let's see, everything is fine. "

I was wrong,
but you don't have to kill me.

- Say it again.
- What?

- What you just said.
- I was wrong.

On Rose-Marie.

That evening, she didn't flinch,
in the living room.

She even refused
to call the police.

But that is love.
You can't understand.

- Mom, open it!
- Mom !

Open, please.
You are not alone.

Mom, open up!

I'm afraid. What are we doing ?

Mom, open up!

Oh no, then.

It would be too easy.

Has your husband confessed to you?

But I know him by heart.
I understand him.

I have always supported him.

Pierre had unmasked it.

He didn't know what to do anymore.

He was crying.

You have it all planned.

Manipulate Leonard ...

Choosing to kill Montauban ...

What else could I do?

Pierre was going to destroy my life.

I did the right thing.
I guided Etienne.

I had no choice.

I really would have wanted
to save Leonard,

but he was becoming dangerous.

It's over now.

Everything will be as before.

I promise you.

It's a habit, isn't it?
Sorry.

Wait!

I want to go home.
Take me.

Yeah. Reserve half
the frontpage.

Good play, Alice.

Maybe we need to change
one or two words.

Go to sleep. I'm taking care of it.

Thank you.

I'm telling you he's not here!

- Robert Jourdeuil?
- Who let you in?

Oh dear !

Above all, don't bother.
I will answer.

Yes ? Commissioner Laurence.

Where ?

Who discovered the body?

No no no.
Don't touch anything, I'm coming.

Tell me did you write it
with your feet, your article.

You did well to choose
another pseudonym.

Jourdeuil, Marie-Chantal ...

You have a problem
with your name?

I did a very good job.

It's not fair.
I deserve to have my name there.

- Did you get screwed?
- It's easy, eh!

April, April, April ...

Hey. I inform you
that I also have a first name.

Stop calling me by my last name.
It feels like I'm in the army.

I don't think our reports
will go as far as the exchange of first names.

Step aside.

You're in a rush ?

- Something is happening ?
- Get out, or I'll crush you.

There is a corpse, I know that.

Drop me some info.
We form a team.

I don't team up with anyone.
Get that into your head.
