The Crimson Rivers (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - XXY: Partie 2 - full transcript
It's not Carl Moller.
Is there a link between
the festival couple and the Villemonts?
Not Carl.
They died this morning,
this time without the braided ribbons
or skin removal.
She was already wearing this celice band.
You knew her?
-Yes. She wore it to atone
for her sins, she said.
Can I go?
Yeah.
-Thank you.
(CSI agent) Commissioner?
We have something in the attic.
Agnès Villemont's workshop.
She takes advantage of the
tannery to develop her designs.
Yes.
Nothing abnormal there.
Look at this.
It's not cow, goat, or sheep leather.
It's too thin.
Then what is it?
I would say it's human leather.
I use human skin for my creations.
It's no more shocking than using
animal skin.
And it's not illegal
if we don't pay the donors.
Where does the skin come from?
From anonymous donors.
I just collect the samples and use it
in couture, that's all.
DNA analysis is in progress.
You may prefer to wait for the
results in a cell, but anyway, we'll know.
-Carl provides you with his "handfasting"?
(Camille) The neopagan call, the
Flames of Lugnasad,
is in fact only you.
In the past your brother served
your business.
It suits him, Carl has always liked
easy money.
And money you make. €20,000 on the 7th,
€16,000 on the 8th,
€19,000 the week before.
These transfers do not correspond to
the orders of the tannery.
Is it the price of your personal creations?
The tannery was losing a lot and
needed cash.
My parents let it happen.
Who buys it?
-All of Paris.
Nobody dares say it, but it will sell.
-Mmm.
The future of leather is human skin.
We will no longer kill animals
for clothing.
The talismans Carl gives to his
festival-goers are cowhide.
They won't be happy when they find out.
I have no choice; I need all the skin
that Carl provides me
for my fashion house.
You studied biology, then business to
run your parents' tannery.
In fact it suits you that they're dead.
But not like that. And my clients
prefer discretion.
Mmm hmm.
No one has ever seen Agnes at the festival.
She was getting her stuff back. She has
plenty of orders.
What's the reason for killing?
The tannery was empty during murders.
The Villemonts were going there first.
The killer knew it.
I want to know their usual routine.
Clever girls, go to the festival
for the big fire.
Confront Carl about his sister,
we'll see if that makes him
more talkative.
And especially, be careful.
-(Camille & Audrey) YES, DAD!
Well, that's peace-making.
Hey! I thought this is Carl's tent.
-(Alessandro) He's not there,
How is it your business? He'll be
there tonight.
I doubt.
-"Doll", you can empty Carl's tent,
don't sell anything.
You don't waste time.
You don't give a fuck about Carl.
(Alessandro) He's wrong.
(Gisele whimpering)
(Gisele whimpering)
...better not to.
I think he's on the wrong track with
the movement.
These stupid marriages are going nowhere.
What are you going to do?
-A fire.
Tonight is the Lugnasad.
It changes nothing.
I understand how to extract profits.
I promise you,
with me the movement will
go much further.
-Hey! The bride and groom left?
Have Gisèle and Lukas gone?
Do you know?
No. And I don't care.
(Gisele whimpering)
(Gisele crying)
Handfasting. Your mother's celice
band.
Are you obsessed with the flesh?
No.
-No?
The marks on your wrists?
-I don't have any.
Excuse me?
Come on, stop it!
(Carl) She's like that everywhere.
She's been scarifying since she was little.
The first pieces
of skin were hers.
That's why she had the idea to
make clothes.
Why do you do that?
Why do you do that?
-I don't know.
We found a whip in your mother's office.
Her celice. Do they
remind you of something?
The whip, yes.
(Jet flying over)
Can I please have 5 minutes?
Yes. We'll accompany you.
Oh for godssake!
Gisèle and Lukas?
They're not there. They had to leave.
Great goddesses!
Great gods! Confuse me with your essence.
I get lost in your essence.
-That the forces of Olympus,
source of all creation,
than the forces of spirits, stones, stars
and Earth bless this location,
this moment and we who are here
in communion with you.
He takes advantage of what is happening.
He didn't kill anyone,
he stayed here.
This guy did it. His wife left him,
he lost his job, he has no more money.
He invents a new life here.
He went for massive enjoyment.
-That's it.
I like you, Camille.
Niémans was my reference point too.
When I met him, I wasn't good.
And that motivated me, I became
first in my class.
I thought I would become his pal.
And you walked in and took my place.
I didn't take anyone's place, obviously.
Ah, I know that Cluzes quietly brought
you in during the year.
He must have pulled
you out of a mess?
And you got priority parking.
I had to find out.
But I wouldn't say anything.
I've settled down.
Yes, I'm all right, I changed my name
not to be Belgian,
but to erase that of my father's.
Certifiably perverse.
With my father it was Health & Social
Services and the reception centers.
It was not great.
We don't do this job by chance.
The mystical union!
(Crowd yelling)
...
(Gong)
(Drums)
(Bonfire)
(Drums)
...
Are you ready?
-Ready for what?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTo find your
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsoul mate!
\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\hTo find your
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsoul mate!
\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\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome 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\hI don't...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h(Audrey)\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don't...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome ON!
(Techno beat)
...
Thank you.
You will obey me, Camille!
All right?
-Huh?
Yes, I'm all right.
Are you sure?
-Yeah, I'm sure.
What's going on in there?
Hey, I asked you a question!
Open the door.
Open the door!
Come on, Camille! Get up. Camille, wake up!
(Camille) Hmm?
-It's time. I'll wait for you outside.
I have the results of the skin analysis
from Agnès' workshop.
One of the pieces belongs to an
individual about 20 years old.
We put it in culture the night
of the first murder,
and it has 50% of the genes in common
with Hervé Villemont.
None with his wife.
Could Agnes and Carl have
a half-brother?
More like a half-brother/sister.
There are XXY sex chromosomes.
In other words, it is neither a man
nor a woman.
Dual at the same time, an
intersex individual.
It occurs in 1 in 1,000 births.
It's complicated.
An androgyne.
Like the passage from Aristophanes
Carl reads at The Handfasting.
Yeah;
he could have sewn his victims together
to make androgynes too,
as the start of a message.
Or to say "I am like you." Or...
"I too have a soul mate"; I don't know.
He killed the Villemonts, therefore
he knows its origin.
Yeah. But he didn't kill Carl.
Opposed to where Carl comes from?
And where Agnes comes from
would be a plus.
You have to dig into the Villemonts' past.
Thank you, Doctor.
-Good luck.
(Camille V.O.) "Intersex newborns are often
operated upon irreversibly,
usually to become female, believed
to be easier,
even when we don't know in
the coming years..."
Oh fuck.
What's that?
Shit motherfuckers!
They drugged Gisèle and Lukas to deliver
them to a festival ceremony.
Right crazy, and dangerous.
He has an alibi?
-Yes, the fire-eater too;
they aren't linked to the murders.
The potential guru is Alessandro.
Not Carl.
I'll question them.
(Niemans) I've got two former employees
of the Villemonts who declared having
children with an unknown father,
22 and 23 years ago at the
Ste. Félicité Maternity Hospital.
Right after that they disappeared
from the tannery:
"Work accident."
(Nurse V.O.) Yes, I remember
those two ladies.
Mme Villemont disclosed they gave
birth at the tannery,
she brought them and their babies here
to check that everything was fine.
Mrs. Villemont had given them money
in exchange for their resignations;
she didn't want unmarried mothers.
Their pregnancies were not monitored?
-No.
Mrs. Villemont said the children
were unwanted.
You examined these babies?
-How's that?
We're looking for a baby connected with
the tannery, an intersex baby.
Well, it's not them.
(Mobile vibrates)
Excuse me.
Um, were there deliveries by other
Villemont employees
around that time?
-No.
OK. Thank you.
No intersex in the area.
Audrey spoke to an older tannery employee,
she had a miscarriage
before being forced to resign.
She remembers a dozen other employees
being raped by Villemont.
I don't imagine she remembers
any of their names?
Yeah, it's a journey.
(Door buzzer)
Mrs. Revel?
-Yes?
It must be difficult for you.
Four people died. It's important that
you talk to me.
Before his stroke, Mr. Villemont
routinely hired
hired women who were single, poor,
and to his liking.
He made advances on you.
If you refused he was violent
or he fired you.
You got pregnant.
Yes. When Mrs. Villemont found out,
she whipped me in front of her daughter.
She forced me to put on a corset.
I wasn't the first.
She refused to allow abortions.
But she knew corsets would
cause miscarriages.
(Cries of pain)
-It's fine.
Why did I accept all this?
-How many babies died?
I remember his face.
It's fine! Here it is, look!
(Cries of pain)
Look, Agnes! See the fruit of sin.
She liked it to hurt, to attack our bodies.
It excited him. You understand ?
(Cry of pain)
Take him to the shed. Go on!
I'm sorry. The baby is not viable.
-Can I see it?
He will be baptized.
-Are you taking her to Father Lehmann?
We will do whatever it takes,
Frederique.
Now you forget.
Agnès put them in corsets,
not celices and whips.
-Presented like works of art.
She saw so much abuse as a little girl.
That came to an obsession with
human flesh,
she doesn't care about clothes or bags.
(Bishop) Father Lehmann lives here.
I'd like to resolve this matter.
-Lehmann has never been to Rome,
we checked.
There's no...
attic, a basement, a place...
There's a crypt.
But no one goes there.
You coming?
It's over there.
(Audrey) Camille!
Lord!
The killer has changed his M.O.
The victim was slaughtered here, and alone.
I found this in Lehmann's room.
This is the register for the year of
delivery of Mrs. Revel.
The same day, he wrote,
there: "Revel. Claude Endowment."
Below, it's marked
"Stegen. St. Jérôme Emilien."
What are you doing? These are
private registers.
It's fine, Father!
What's "Claude Endowment"?
-A simplified baptism reserved
for life-threatening
emergencies.
Births are noted.
Next to miscarriages, there is
"Stegen. Saint Jérôme Emilien."
Mrs. Villemont must have taken the
appearance of this baby
for the sign of a demon.
She gives birth, she discovers
it is intersex.
She tells Mrs. Revel that her baby
is not viable,
Lehmann gets rid of it.
They miss their shot. 20 years later,
Claude kills Lehmann and the Villemonts.
Okay; what is the connection with
the couple killed here?
The murderer caught the attention of
his brother and sister.
He recreates an androgynous character
in his image.
He follows the beliefs in Carl's festival.
He obsesses about families, and
perpetuates the suffering of the flesh.
Yeah, but why this
couple specifically?
They aren't important, Camille.
Rather, it's a message, a cry of despair.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOne way to get
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hcloser to his brother.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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.
\h\h\h\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.
It's logical that
we didn't
find an
intersex child.
Officially, Claude
wasn't born.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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

I know.
There it is.
Saint-Jérôme Oratory.
St. Jérôme Emilien, the patron
saint of orphans.
Niémans!
Go ahead, open it up.
It's the same as Agnes' cross.
A miscarriage due
to Mrs. Villemont's corsets.
But it wasn't Claude.
Lehmann couldn't leave this here
without anyone seeing him.
Yes. But who then? Eh?
A shepherd lives over there.
But you have to walk.
It's here.
What is that?
"Dardenne."
It's the shepherd.
He died three weeks ago.
(Dog barking)
All right?
-Yeah.
There's a second bed.
The shepherd didn't live alone.
Look at this. The rest of the cord
stolen from Carl.
Niémans! Another cross.
Thank you.
"Claude."
Remind you of anything?
The guy at the festival who was
dressed like a goat.
I'm going.
OK. Keep me informed.
Well, there are no more goat-men
at the festival.
It's Pan, the god of shepherds
in Greek mythology.
It's the same as the Hindu god Pushan,
such an ugly baby that his mother
ran away.
And the crosses?
Our father gave them to us at birth.
I threw mine away.
And Dardenne the shepherd?
(Agnes) A hermit.
He sold cheeses at the market,
skins at the tannery.
He was a little crazy, and
hardly ever spoke.
He lived alone with his goats.
(Camille) He found a baby
and raised him.
Last month I heard Dardenne was
seriously ill,
and couldn't leave his house anymore.
I saw a young man or woman come.
I don't know much else.
He came to sell Dardenne's skins.
At the time I thought it was his son.
(Camille) Seeing the cross around
your neck,
Claude began to understand.
(Agnes) It's possible;
afterwards, I never saw him again.
He looked completely lost.
That evening, I found
Carl near the festival.
I was late.
And there you made the exchange?
Yes. Once a week.
(Agnes) I brought him cowhide,
he brought me squares of skin from
the bride and groom.
We talked about the Agnes' work, the past.
(Niemans) Claude
was following you.
He understood everything.
We, human animals...
(Carl) He followed me to the festival,
I saw him in the crowd.
(Niemans) He came
to listen to you talk
about the primitive androgynes
he was looking for.
His soul spreads beyond the family
and looks for a lasting soul mate.
(Camille) He discovered his brother
and a way to accept one's own nature.
(Carl) I ignored it. Like everyone.
(Niemans) The night of the first
murder, Claude entered in your tent.
(Camille) He had spent his life
in the mountains,
wondering about his identity.
And he discovers a family where he belongs,
a brother who accepts his differentness,
and who does not judge him.
(Carl) But something was missing,
a soul mate.
His missing half.
(Niemans) He decided to celebrate
his own wedding.
(Carl) A union for eternity.
(Camille) The Villemonts
and the flesh,
together always.
(Carl) Except we can't unite two souls.
What are you doing?
What are you doing here?
(Scream)
You rejected your parents, but
you reproduced everything:
beliefs; sex; mutilation.
We must realize it.
Our brother's name is Claude?
-Your mother named him that, yes.
I'll find him at the festival. Alone.
He won't come if you're there.
He'll come.
At Lugnasad on Saturday,
he handed me a bottle,
like he wanted me to notice.
We'll follow you.
Claude has a different frame
of reference,
it's unknown how you fit.
For him, getting arrested would
be recognition.
He's just waiting for that.
Come.
Can I get my skins back?
We'll destroy them after
the investigation.
But I received advances!
Do you really believe that's what's
more important?
Am I in police custody?
-No.
It's fine, you can go.
You found him?
Not yet, madam.
-He's my child,
he was alive at birth,
I think about him every day.
-We're doing DNA tests,
and he probably killed five people.
Goodbye.
(Carl) Claude!
Claude! I'm with the police!
I'm waiting for you!
You know, this festival, Agnès created it.
I was doing it for the money.
I didn't believe in these marriages,
like Alessandro.
Then when I saw all these couples coming,
I thought maybe I was finally
doing something right.
It's beautiful, this idea of a soulmate
that awaits us.
I know, ma'am. But we will find
other donors.
In ten years your coats will be
priceless collector's items.
You write fashion history, madam.
It does not have a price.
Yes. Thank you for your confidence.
Yes, good evening. Bye.
You mustn't do that.
I should not have done that.
I should have talked to you.
You would have explained to me.
I would have left
your parents alone.
Why did you do that?
-I wanted to do like you,
like Carl.
When he tied the ribbons, he said
that he gathered 2 souls for eternity.
I thought...
that it was possible for me.
And me, I have never been separated.
I am already two souls attached.
I want to surrender,
can you help me ?
Yes.
It's busy.
I'll make you some tea.
(Officer) Excuse me, Commissioner.
There's been a hangup call from
the tannery.
We called back but got voicemail.
Thanks.
I- I'm sorry. I...
Sorry, Mrs. Revel. Now's not the
time to talk to him, okay?
Please.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
When you're old, when I'm old,
when my blonde hair turns gray,
in the month of May,
in the garden greenhouse,
we will warm our trembling selves.
And every day, I love you more.
Today more than yesterday.
Much less than tomorrow.
(All) Connections are continuously
forged between us.
How touching!
-Yes, very touching.
Drop the act, Niémans. It just shows
you're a romantic.
(He chuckles)
Romantic. Like she said.
(Camille and Audrey laugh)
Okay you two, fine.
I'm going to congratulate the
bride and groom.
See you soon, "boss."
-See you soon.
See you.
-See you.
If you ever need me, I'm here.
Why you didn't choose Audrey?
-You were the best.
You like that answer?
Is there a link between
the festival couple and the Villemonts?
Not Carl.
They died this morning,
this time without the braided ribbons
or skin removal.
She was already wearing this celice band.
You knew her?
-Yes. She wore it to atone
for her sins, she said.
Can I go?
Yeah.
-Thank you.
(CSI agent) Commissioner?
We have something in the attic.
Agnès Villemont's workshop.
She takes advantage of the
tannery to develop her designs.
Yes.
Nothing abnormal there.
Look at this.
It's not cow, goat, or sheep leather.
It's too thin.
Then what is it?
I would say it's human leather.
I use human skin for my creations.
It's no more shocking than using
animal skin.
And it's not illegal
if we don't pay the donors.
Where does the skin come from?
From anonymous donors.
I just collect the samples and use it
in couture, that's all.
DNA analysis is in progress.
You may prefer to wait for the
results in a cell, but anyway, we'll know.
-Carl provides you with his "handfasting"?
(Camille) The neopagan call, the
Flames of Lugnasad,
is in fact only you.
In the past your brother served
your business.
It suits him, Carl has always liked
easy money.
And money you make. €20,000 on the 7th,
€16,000 on the 8th,
€19,000 the week before.
These transfers do not correspond to
the orders of the tannery.
Is it the price of your personal creations?
The tannery was losing a lot and
needed cash.
My parents let it happen.
Who buys it?
-All of Paris.
Nobody dares say it, but it will sell.
-Mmm.
The future of leather is human skin.
We will no longer kill animals
for clothing.
The talismans Carl gives to his
festival-goers are cowhide.
They won't be happy when they find out.
I have no choice; I need all the skin
that Carl provides me
for my fashion house.
You studied biology, then business to
run your parents' tannery.
In fact it suits you that they're dead.
But not like that. And my clients
prefer discretion.
Mmm hmm.
No one has ever seen Agnes at the festival.
She was getting her stuff back. She has
plenty of orders.
What's the reason for killing?
The tannery was empty during murders.
The Villemonts were going there first.
The killer knew it.
I want to know their usual routine.
Clever girls, go to the festival
for the big fire.
Confront Carl about his sister,
we'll see if that makes him
more talkative.
And especially, be careful.
-(Camille & Audrey) YES, DAD!
Well, that's peace-making.
Hey! I thought this is Carl's tent.
-(Alessandro) He's not there,
How is it your business? He'll be
there tonight.
I doubt.
-"Doll", you can empty Carl's tent,
don't sell anything.
You don't waste time.
You don't give a fuck about Carl.
(Alessandro) He's wrong.
(Gisele whimpering)
(Gisele whimpering)
...better not to.
I think he's on the wrong track with
the movement.
These stupid marriages are going nowhere.
What are you going to do?
-A fire.
Tonight is the Lugnasad.
It changes nothing.
I understand how to extract profits.
I promise you,
with me the movement will
go much further.
-Hey! The bride and groom left?
Have Gisèle and Lukas gone?
Do you know?
No. And I don't care.
(Gisele whimpering)
(Gisele crying)
Handfasting. Your mother's celice
band.
Are you obsessed with the flesh?
No.
-No?
The marks on your wrists?
-I don't have any.
Excuse me?
Come on, stop it!
(Carl) She's like that everywhere.
She's been scarifying since she was little.
The first pieces
of skin were hers.
That's why she had the idea to
make clothes.
Why do you do that?
Why do you do that?
-I don't know.
We found a whip in your mother's office.
Her celice. Do they
remind you of something?
The whip, yes.
(Jet flying over)
Can I please have 5 minutes?
Yes. We'll accompany you.
Oh for godssake!
Gisèle and Lukas?
They're not there. They had to leave.
Great goddesses!
Great gods! Confuse me with your essence.
I get lost in your essence.
-That the forces of Olympus,
source of all creation,
than the forces of spirits, stones, stars
and Earth bless this location,
this moment and we who are here
in communion with you.
He takes advantage of what is happening.
He didn't kill anyone,
he stayed here.
This guy did it. His wife left him,
he lost his job, he has no more money.
He invents a new life here.
He went for massive enjoyment.
-That's it.
I like you, Camille.
Niémans was my reference point too.
When I met him, I wasn't good.
And that motivated me, I became
first in my class.
I thought I would become his pal.
And you walked in and took my place.
I didn't take anyone's place, obviously.
Ah, I know that Cluzes quietly brought
you in during the year.
He must have pulled
you out of a mess?
And you got priority parking.
I had to find out.
But I wouldn't say anything.
I've settled down.
Yes, I'm all right, I changed my name
not to be Belgian,
but to erase that of my father's.
Certifiably perverse.
With my father it was Health & Social
Services and the reception centers.
It was not great.
We don't do this job by chance.
The mystical union!
(Crowd yelling)
...
(Gong)
(Drums)
(Bonfire)
(Drums)
...
Are you ready?
-Ready for what?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTo find your
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsoul mate!
\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\hTo find your

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome ON!
(Techno beat)
...
Thank you.
You will obey me, Camille!
All right?
-Huh?
Yes, I'm all right.
Are you sure?
-Yeah, I'm sure.
What's going on in there?
Hey, I asked you a question!
Open the door.
Open the door!
Come on, Camille! Get up. Camille, wake up!
(Camille) Hmm?
-It's time. I'll wait for you outside.
I have the results of the skin analysis
from Agnès' workshop.
One of the pieces belongs to an
individual about 20 years old.
We put it in culture the night
of the first murder,
and it has 50% of the genes in common
with Hervé Villemont.
None with his wife.
Could Agnes and Carl have
a half-brother?
More like a half-brother/sister.
There are XXY sex chromosomes.
In other words, it is neither a man
nor a woman.
Dual at the same time, an
intersex individual.
It occurs in 1 in 1,000 births.
It's complicated.
An androgyne.
Like the passage from Aristophanes
Carl reads at The Handfasting.
Yeah;
he could have sewn his victims together
to make androgynes too,
as the start of a message.
Or to say "I am like you." Or...
"I too have a soul mate"; I don't know.
He killed the Villemonts, therefore
he knows its origin.
Yeah. But he didn't kill Carl.
Opposed to where Carl comes from?
And where Agnes comes from
would be a plus.
You have to dig into the Villemonts' past.
Thank you, Doctor.
-Good luck.
(Camille V.O.) "Intersex newborns are often
operated upon irreversibly,
usually to become female, believed
to be easier,
even when we don't know in
the coming years..."
Oh fuck.
What's that?
Shit motherfuckers!
They drugged Gisèle and Lukas to deliver
them to a festival ceremony.
Right crazy, and dangerous.
He has an alibi?
-Yes, the fire-eater too;
they aren't linked to the murders.
The potential guru is Alessandro.
Not Carl.
I'll question them.
(Niemans) I've got two former employees
of the Villemonts who declared having
children with an unknown father,
22 and 23 years ago at the
Ste. Félicité Maternity Hospital.
Right after that they disappeared
from the tannery:
"Work accident."
(Nurse V.O.) Yes, I remember
those two ladies.
Mme Villemont disclosed they gave
birth at the tannery,
she brought them and their babies here
to check that everything was fine.
Mrs. Villemont had given them money
in exchange for their resignations;
she didn't want unmarried mothers.
Their pregnancies were not monitored?
-No.
Mrs. Villemont said the children
were unwanted.
You examined these babies?
-How's that?
We're looking for a baby connected with
the tannery, an intersex baby.
Well, it's not them.
(Mobile vibrates)
Excuse me.
Um, were there deliveries by other
Villemont employees
around that time?
-No.
OK. Thank you.
No intersex in the area.
Audrey spoke to an older tannery employee,
she had a miscarriage
before being forced to resign.
She remembers a dozen other employees
being raped by Villemont.
I don't imagine she remembers
any of their names?
Yeah, it's a journey.
(Door buzzer)
Mrs. Revel?
-Yes?
It must be difficult for you.
Four people died. It's important that
you talk to me.
Before his stroke, Mr. Villemont
routinely hired
hired women who were single, poor,
and to his liking.
He made advances on you.
If you refused he was violent
or he fired you.
You got pregnant.
Yes. When Mrs. Villemont found out,
she whipped me in front of her daughter.
She forced me to put on a corset.
I wasn't the first.
She refused to allow abortions.
But she knew corsets would
cause miscarriages.
(Cries of pain)
-It's fine.
Why did I accept all this?
-How many babies died?
I remember his face.
It's fine! Here it is, look!
(Cries of pain)
Look, Agnes! See the fruit of sin.
She liked it to hurt, to attack our bodies.
It excited him. You understand ?
(Cry of pain)
Take him to the shed. Go on!
I'm sorry. The baby is not viable.
-Can I see it?
He will be baptized.
-Are you taking her to Father Lehmann?
We will do whatever it takes,
Frederique.
Now you forget.
Agnès put them in corsets,
not celices and whips.
-Presented like works of art.
She saw so much abuse as a little girl.
That came to an obsession with
human flesh,
she doesn't care about clothes or bags.
(Bishop) Father Lehmann lives here.
I'd like to resolve this matter.
-Lehmann has never been to Rome,
we checked.
There's no...
attic, a basement, a place...
There's a crypt.
But no one goes there.
You coming?
It's over there.
(Audrey) Camille!
Lord!
The killer has changed his M.O.
The victim was slaughtered here, and alone.
I found this in Lehmann's room.
This is the register for the year of
delivery of Mrs. Revel.
The same day, he wrote,
there: "Revel. Claude Endowment."
Below, it's marked
"Stegen. St. Jérôme Emilien."
What are you doing? These are
private registers.
It's fine, Father!
What's "Claude Endowment"?
-A simplified baptism reserved
for life-threatening
emergencies.
Births are noted.
Next to miscarriages, there is
"Stegen. Saint Jérôme Emilien."
Mrs. Villemont must have taken the
appearance of this baby
for the sign of a demon.
She gives birth, she discovers
it is intersex.
She tells Mrs. Revel that her baby
is not viable,
Lehmann gets rid of it.
They miss their shot. 20 years later,
Claude kills Lehmann and the Villemonts.
Okay; what is the connection with
the couple killed here?
The murderer caught the attention of
his brother and sister.
He recreates an androgynous character
in his image.
He follows the beliefs in Carl's festival.
He obsesses about families, and
perpetuates the suffering of the flesh.
Yeah, but why this
couple specifically?
They aren't important, Camille.
Rather, it's a message, a cry of despair.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOne way to get

\h\h\h\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.
It's logical that
we didn't
find an
intersex child.
Officially, Claude
wasn't born.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\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

I know.
There it is.
Saint-Jérôme Oratory.
St. Jérôme Emilien, the patron
saint of orphans.
Niémans!
Go ahead, open it up.
It's the same as Agnes' cross.
A miscarriage due
to Mrs. Villemont's corsets.
But it wasn't Claude.
Lehmann couldn't leave this here
without anyone seeing him.
Yes. But who then? Eh?
A shepherd lives over there.
But you have to walk.
It's here.
What is that?
"Dardenne."
It's the shepherd.
He died three weeks ago.
(Dog barking)
All right?
-Yeah.
There's a second bed.
The shepherd didn't live alone.
Look at this. The rest of the cord
stolen from Carl.
Niémans! Another cross.
Thank you.
"Claude."
Remind you of anything?
The guy at the festival who was
dressed like a goat.
I'm going.
OK. Keep me informed.
Well, there are no more goat-men
at the festival.
It's Pan, the god of shepherds
in Greek mythology.
It's the same as the Hindu god Pushan,
such an ugly baby that his mother
ran away.
And the crosses?
Our father gave them to us at birth.
I threw mine away.
And Dardenne the shepherd?
(Agnes) A hermit.
He sold cheeses at the market,
skins at the tannery.
He was a little crazy, and
hardly ever spoke.
He lived alone with his goats.
(Camille) He found a baby
and raised him.
Last month I heard Dardenne was
seriously ill,
and couldn't leave his house anymore.
I saw a young man or woman come.
I don't know much else.
He came to sell Dardenne's skins.
At the time I thought it was his son.
(Camille) Seeing the cross around
your neck,
Claude began to understand.
(Agnes) It's possible;
afterwards, I never saw him again.
He looked completely lost.
That evening, I found
Carl near the festival.
I was late.
And there you made the exchange?
Yes. Once a week.
(Agnes) I brought him cowhide,
he brought me squares of skin from
the bride and groom.
We talked about the Agnes' work, the past.
(Niemans) Claude
was following you.
He understood everything.
We, human animals...
(Carl) He followed me to the festival,
I saw him in the crowd.
(Niemans) He came
to listen to you talk
about the primitive androgynes
he was looking for.
His soul spreads beyond the family
and looks for a lasting soul mate.
(Camille) He discovered his brother
and a way to accept one's own nature.
(Carl) I ignored it. Like everyone.
(Niemans) The night of the first
murder, Claude entered in your tent.
(Camille) He had spent his life
in the mountains,
wondering about his identity.
And he discovers a family where he belongs,
a brother who accepts his differentness,
and who does not judge him.
(Carl) But something was missing,
a soul mate.
His missing half.
(Niemans) He decided to celebrate
his own wedding.
(Carl) A union for eternity.
(Camille) The Villemonts
and the flesh,
together always.
(Carl) Except we can't unite two souls.
What are you doing?
What are you doing here?
(Scream)
You rejected your parents, but
you reproduced everything:
beliefs; sex; mutilation.
We must realize it.
Our brother's name is Claude?
-Your mother named him that, yes.
I'll find him at the festival. Alone.
He won't come if you're there.
He'll come.
At Lugnasad on Saturday,
he handed me a bottle,
like he wanted me to notice.
We'll follow you.
Claude has a different frame
of reference,
it's unknown how you fit.
For him, getting arrested would
be recognition.
He's just waiting for that.
Come.
Can I get my skins back?
We'll destroy them after
the investigation.
But I received advances!
Do you really believe that's what's
more important?
Am I in police custody?
-No.
It's fine, you can go.
You found him?
Not yet, madam.
-He's my child,
he was alive at birth,
I think about him every day.
-We're doing DNA tests,
and he probably killed five people.
Goodbye.
(Carl) Claude!
Claude! I'm with the police!
I'm waiting for you!
You know, this festival, Agnès created it.
I was doing it for the money.
I didn't believe in these marriages,
like Alessandro.
Then when I saw all these couples coming,
I thought maybe I was finally
doing something right.
It's beautiful, this idea of a soulmate
that awaits us.
I know, ma'am. But we will find
other donors.
In ten years your coats will be
priceless collector's items.
You write fashion history, madam.
It does not have a price.
Yes. Thank you for your confidence.
Yes, good evening. Bye.
You mustn't do that.
I should not have done that.
I should have talked to you.
You would have explained to me.
I would have left
your parents alone.
Why did you do that?
-I wanted to do like you,
like Carl.
When he tied the ribbons, he said
that he gathered 2 souls for eternity.
I thought...
that it was possible for me.
And me, I have never been separated.
I am already two souls attached.
I want to surrender,
can you help me ?
Yes.
It's busy.
I'll make you some tea.
(Officer) Excuse me, Commissioner.
There's been a hangup call from
the tannery.
We called back but got voicemail.
Thanks.
I- I'm sorry. I...
Sorry, Mrs. Revel. Now's not the
time to talk to him, okay?
Please.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
When you're old, when I'm old,
when my blonde hair turns gray,
in the month of May,
in the garden greenhouse,
we will warm our trembling selves.
And every day, I love you more.
Today more than yesterday.
Much less than tomorrow.
(All) Connections are continuously
forged between us.
How touching!
-Yes, very touching.
Drop the act, Niémans. It just shows
you're a romantic.
(He chuckles)
Romantic. Like she said.
(Camille and Audrey laugh)
Okay you two, fine.
I'm going to congratulate the
bride and groom.
See you soon, "boss."
-See you soon.
See you.
-See you.
If you ever need me, I'm here.
Why you didn't choose Audrey?
-You were the best.
You like that answer?
