VICTIM SUSPECT & FUGITIVE

VICTIM

What do the surveillance cameras say?

Well I sent everything
to the lab, but given

the condition of the camera and
memory card, not too sure.

Can you do that?
- Yes.

Here. -Thanks!
- Well! Miss us, Commissioner?

The autopsy report.

Given his stiffness and temperature, he
died between 3 and 5 pm.

Okay; what else?

The m*rder weapon is a shotgun.
-We didn't find it.

"WEST WINDS"
Marital m*rder.

"WEST WINDS"
-Quarrel, g*n, and bam. Classic.

-Quarrel, g*n, and bam. Classic.

In short: Jeanne Levasseur Esq.,
on the run after k*lling her husband.

And the search of her office?

She's a lawyer.
We can do nothing without

consent of the batonnier, the
President of the Bar.

That takes ages.

Who did that?
-What?

That.

JEANNE LEVASSEUR
//////// & FUGITIVE
VICTIM

Daphne, find out
who was here overnight.

Gilles, with me; we're questioning
the lawyer's sister.

ADAM: Were there any tensions
between your sister and her husband?

Not really.

I won't spin this:
if your sister is on the run

we need to find her soon.
-Antoine wanted to leave her.

My sister had been stressed for months,

he couldn't take it anymore
and wanted to leave.

But she'd never k*ll
the father of her child,

I don't see how
she could've done it.

You really don't know where she is?
-I haven't heard from her.

ADAM: If I was on the run, I'd
go to someone I trusted.

Like my sister, for example.
- I was in the lab all day yesterday.

I presented my research to colleagues.

She couldn't have been here.
-We'll check.

I checked the apartment: nothing.

Will you call me when she contacts you?

That's best for everyone.

Wait!
- Yes?

Did you call their daughter,
Mathilde, in London?

Yes, she's on her way here.

So what else do we need, sweetie?

Come on. I bought two of these
last week.

Do you drink shampoo or something?
-You always use it.

Can I have this, Mom?
-I'll buy one, put the other back. What?

Honey, it's for grownups, not for children.

Come on, it's about castles.

No, are you kidding me?
Go put that back.

I'll buy it, but
don't finish it in one night.

CHLOE CRIES

Yes, we're going soon.
Mama pays and then we go.

Eliott always gets more than me.
- Thea, please stop it.

That will be...
- €127.76. There.

No, €132.36.

Then you must've forgot
the discount coupon:

20% off on milk, one free toothpaste,

10% on the chips and
50% on the raw vegetables.

I don't follow. €4.60 is missing.

Thea?

€132.36 minus €4.60 is €127.76.

Thank you very much, that's all correct.
Good day, we're going home.

What the f*ck is she doing?

That girl is totally nuts.
- What's her name?

Morgane Alvaro. Think she has
something to do with the case?

I don't know. Perhaps.
I'll figure it out.

Okay, poo poo?

When do you pick up the car?

When I have money
to fix the carburetor.

Did you have to go at the cashier?
-I didn't do it on purpose,

I saw red numbers above her head.
-I see numbers too, but green!

"Mama mama mama."
Don't worry, little baby, go play.

Enough. Stop talking
to your brother like that.

My half-brother.
- (Yeah.)

We have to get off.
Get on it, get on it.

Driver? Can you extend
the disabled lift, please?

Okay, come on.

Mom, Mom... You didn't buy an eraser.
- I have that, look.

See?
There. Okay, let's go.

Don't help me, huh?
HENRI: Need help, neighbor?

No, no. Henri, it might be
not nice, but you are old.

Save your strength, think of your hip.
-Yes, courtesy is no protection.

Chloe left this behind yesterday.
She seemed very attached to it.

Our savior angel.
-Come on, honey.

Thanks again for yesterday, Henri.
We're a bit of a mess right now.

THEA: The wi-fi is working again!
- I get it, now that your friend is gone.

What are you saying Ludovic did?
-I'm not.

It was him. He couldn't anymore
with my life and was fed up with me.

KNOCKING,
CHLOE CRYING

Yes?
-Morgane Alvaro?

Hello. Cmdr. Karadec, Lt. Vandraud,
Lille Judicial Police.

We have some questions.
Can you come with us?

What, now?
ADAM: Yes.

Henri, I'm sorry. I'll be right back.
-It may take a little longer.

State your identity.
-Morgane Alvaro.

38 years old, single.
Three children by two fathers.

Mortgage, 3 credit cards, and
489 days since my last pap smear.

Do you know Jeanne Levasseur?
- Huh?

Am I not here because of
the eraser?

What eraser?
-Oh, nothing.

Do you know the Levasseur family?
- Not at all!

Mrs. Alvaro, you are
obstructing justice.

I advise you to change
your attitude and tell the truth.

Were you trying to manipulate
an ongoing investigation?

Wait one second, it's because:

The file fell, okay?

I just took a look and
saw some things you missed,

I didn't want trouble.

Ah, you really wanted to help us?
- No!

I want to be able to sleep at night.
- Sorry?

If I see an error, problem, or riddle,

I have to solve it, or I can't sleep.

CELINE: Very well.

Well alright, Mrs. Alvaro. Show me.

What's wrong?
Why can't you sleep?

MORGANE: You think the lawyer
k*lled her husband.

But that's impossible.

And why not?
Right, for example, there:

Cushions with different colors
set neatly next to each other.

OK. Here: nicknacks,
all neatly arranged.

What does that say? That the owner
manically organizes everything.

Only look: Curtain
with beautiful cord,

curtain with beautiful cord,

but there, curtain without a cord.
Weird, huh?

She fusses over the pillows
but doesn't care about the curtains?

That cord was used for something else.

Have a look here:

There's hair stuck to that thing.

There was tape, there was glue residue
that picked up dirt.

Samples were sent to the lab.
We couldn't find any.

Next?
- Aren't you there yet?

Sorry?

Someone's tied up
with the curtain cord

and taped to the
chair by their ankles.

No marks on the
dead man's wrist,

it wasn't him.
A third person was tied up.

Jeanne was tied up, he's dead,
and the perpetrator

kidnapped your lawyer
or put her on ice.

It's him you have to find.

Why can't Jeanne Levasseur
have k*lled her

husband and kidnapped
the third person?

Unlikely.

Have you read the report?

Because it says that
the lawyer's car is there.

Excuse me, but when I kidnap
someone I don't hitchhike, I drive.

It fits.
-All good? Can I go?

We'll know more when
we get the lab results.

For now this is pure speculation.

How is it you are so well informed?

KNOCKINGCELINE:
Huh?Come in!

We have the video images.
A woman was

with Jeanne at the
time of the m*rder.

The third person.

Gilles, take madam to a cell.
-What?

No, wait, are you joking?
Is this a joke?

We're checking your story.
-This is abuse of power!

Police brutality! I'll file a complaint
and call the Consumer Association!

That gal is really amazing.

Why did you show her a file on
an ongoing investigation?

She probably does the Levasseur
housekeeping and laundry.

You know very well she has
nothing to do with the investigation.

Do you know what you're doing?

This is a bloody world of sh*t.

Because if you have me do a bad job
there may be another victim.

Good to know, right?

We were wrong. Antoine wasn't
the target, it was Jeanne his wife.

And the girl in the video?
-Sofia Belkadi,

we found emails from her on
Jeanne Levasseur's computer.

What kind?
-Threats and insults, for weeks.

Because?
- Months ago, Sofia lost a lawsuit.

Jeanne Levasseur was
the opposing party's lawyer.

Bring her in. Good job.

Mrs. Belkadi, you were going to sue
a certain Philippe Leroux.

Why?
-He harassed me at work for 2 years.

Was he your superior?

First it was comments about
my clothes, my hair.

Then he made increasingly
crude insinuations.

Until...

Until he locked me in his office
and r*ped me.

I'm sorry, but what's that got
to do with Jeanne Levasseur?

You didn't threaten Leroux,

but his lawyer.

Why? She was just doing her job.

She made me out to be crazy.
And Philippe Leroux just got off.

I was humiliated.

I've lost everything.

Yesterday you were seen on CCTV
at the lawyer's house.

Half an hour later
her husband is m*rder*d.

With a shotgun.
Jeanne Levasseur is missing. Explain.

I can't, I was home all afternoon.
- Witnesses?

No.

That's weak.

It's okay, you just have to sign and go.
-It's about time.

How I smell, huh.
-Let's go.

Sofia Belkadi says she went there,
but not on that day.

GILLES: Sign there.

That video is fake.
Not the correct date.

You can go, Mrs. Alvaro.
-Wait a second.

Come on, explain.
-Those trees.

You see them going back and forth?

West wind. Nord-Pas-de-Calais
has them in the spring.

It's fall now, you only have south winds.

How do you know which way is west?
-The church.

What about the church?
-Most face east.

Until the Jesuits came. We said we do
what we want and they were 'f*ck you.'

The short story is: That's where
the west must be.

The video is at least 3 months old.

So the kidnapping was staged?

All right, I'm going, I have stuff to do.

For details see Météo France.
- Wait.

What's this thing you have,
are you gifted?

162 IQ.

High Intellectual Potential,
they call it HPI.

Yeah. My brain walks on
its own and I run after it.

Then why why the
hell are you cleaning?

I have an authority problem.

I don't work anywhere longer
than a month

and my private life is hell.

No, it's not a gift.

Ever wanted to work for the police?
-Me? The police?

Use your intelligence to help
people, save lives. Not a bad job.

Fine people, throw tear gas,
and deport the undocumented?

No thanks.
I'm going, good day.

What are you doing here?
-Oh, hi, how are you? I'm fine.

Eliott said you were at
the police, I was worried.

What a snitch, I swear.
Let's go, I'll tell you.

Too many cops per square meter.

COP 1: I'd go over to hers after work.
COP 2: Is that her guy?

What did you say, are you talking to me?
-It was a joke, a joke.

MORGANE: No no no, let me.

How do you like that? Huh?

CROSSTALK

...

Why do I always get in trouble
when I see you?

I didn't ask you to do anything.
-Seriously? You're in a police cell.

You're going to laugh.
- No, I'm not.

Are you fired again?
- A file got knocked over.

I glanced at it
and saw something was wrong.

I don't want to know, not my problem.

All I ask is you don't set a bad
example for Eliott and Chloe.

What do you mean? Explain yourself.
- Explain further?

Hmm.
For example, where are they?

With your 90-year-old babysitter?
- Seventy-five!

Yes, Henri is changing diapers, but
he does teach them French history.

I know history too, you know.
- HEY!

Say, do we have to stay long?
Do you pay my babysitter?

Yes, I'm talking to you!

Commander?
This is Mathilde Levasseur.

Hello, miss.

Hello.
- I'm investigating your father's death.

Take a seat.

I know it's hard for you but...

Mathilde?

We need to know as much as possible
to find your mother.

Mathilde?
- Yes?

Do you want us to talk elsewhere?
-I don't know. I don't know.

Come with me.

We will do everything to find your mother.
But I need to know more.

According to your aunt, your mother was
tense lately.

Do you know why?

She was talking about a friend.

Well, rather an acquaintance at work,
who committed suicide.

I think she felt guilty about something.

Do you remember that woman's name?
- (No.)

A first name?

Sandra. No-- it was Sarah.

Mom got a letter from her
at the office. She was upset.

After that she was totally upset.

She couldn't sleep and was nervous.

After that she didn't want to say
anything more about it.

CELINE: About the search of
Jeanne Levasseur's office, could

you speed things up with the
head on the bar association?

Thank you, Div. Commissioner.

Uh, not yet, but we have a lead.

We're looking for a letter the lawyer got.

Yes, that's why we
need to search her office.

Understood. DIAL TONE
Have a nice day... Div. Commissioner.

Well?
- He's going to do his very best.

And?

If we don't find her, I'll be
taken off the case.

What? Explain we're
waiting for lab results

and can't jump to conclusions.
- This is Comm. Hazan.

Is Mrs. Alvaro still there?

Wait on releasing her.

What are you doing?
- Take her with you.

Who?
- Mrs. Alvaro. Take her with you.

Where?
- Take her on the investigation.

I hope you're kidding.
-She has an IQ of 162,

she's a genius.
- I don't care, it's half-baked!

She knows nothing
about detective work, Celine.

It's a case involving a lawyer.
There can be no procedural errors.

Did you know that cord was missing?

And the wind direction
in the video? No.

Me neither. Alvaro stays with you
until we have Jeanne Levasseur.

Clear?

It's your decision.

Hello? Yes, it's me.

I've had a little setback.
Can you take over from Henri?

There should still be pasta and rice
in the cupboard.

I'll keep
you informed.

All right, see
you later. Kiss.

All right, seeOkay,
you later. Kiss.

Okay,
see you.

Kiss.

Wait, can I get some sun? You're
taking my vitamin D. Move, please.

Push over. Yes, thank you.

Wait, aren't you the daughter
of the lawyer who disappeared,

Jeanne Levasseur?

You a cop?
-No.

You don't look like a cop.
- I hope so. Really.

Don't worry, they'll find her.
-"Don't worry"?

My father is dead and I don't have time
to think about crazy stuff.

I imagine the worst things.
My mother alone with such a madman.

Maybe they won't find her
and she's dead too.

Do you know what it's like
to wait with that uncertainty?

Hell yes. Really.

Do you have pictures of her?
- Uh, yes.

Can I see?

Come on.

We sent each other selfies.

That's her in court.

LAUGHS
That was for my birthday.

That's the last photo I have of her.

Miss Levasseur? If you please.

Be brave.
-Bye.

Did you, the one you were
looking for, did they find them?

The one you lost?

No.

All right, Mr. Ludovic is free.

But you're liable for a €45,000 fine
for assaulting an officer.

Oh yeah? How, do I write a check?

Or do you prefer cash?

I was thinking more of
a little arrangement.

Don't bother, I'm fine with it.

I'll help you, I'd rather you
asked nicely than doing it this way.

Do you ever get something
by asking nicely?

You're not wrong.

You take my room, I'll sleep on the couch.

It'll be OK.

Is there any news?

It's progressing.

Do you know of any
of your sister's colleagues

who committed suicide? A 'Sarah'?

No, one one.
- Mmm hmm.

You'll have to go to the PJ to
make a statement for the record;

whenever you can.
-Yes, of course.

That's the procedure.

Put that down, please.
-Mrs. Alvaro?

That doesn't go with
the rest of your stuff.

I'm just saying.

What did I say in the car?
-That I was your sunshine?

I said 'Don't say anything.'
-Oh yeah, that.

Rosalie Tellier made a presentation
of her scientific work that day.

We need to command the respect
of witnesses.

A little more respect for
the witnesses, please, Ms. ESP.

Especially if their sister is in danger
and their alibi's watertight.

I didn't like that. It went badly.

Why the hell do we need
the batonnier?

Celine called him to be at
Jeanne Levasseur's office at 5 pm.

What's the batonnier?

President of the Bar,
a kind of superlawyer.

If a law firm is involved, his
presence is required for a search.

So while a woman is lying somewhere...

you have to wait for a bar guy
to give the green light

to search an office?

Yes.
- That's right, yes.

LAUGHS

That's crazy isn't it?
-That's the procedure.

Yeah, of course, 'the procedure.'

SNICKERS

Does she really have to come?
With her outfit we look crazy.

Hey, I'm right here! I can hear!

Is there a problem with my "look"?

If only it were just the "look."
BOTH LAUGH

Okay, good. Stop. Let me out!

WHOA!
ADAM: Don't do that!

MORGANE: Open the door
and let me out!

You're really pissing me off!

Your 'procedure,' my a*s!

What does the boss
want with that woman?

No, really!

f*ck!

The President of the
Bar is apparently late.

Jeanne is a valued colleague,
one of our best.

Her absence at the upcoming trial
is very unfortunate for our office.

I understand.

The toilet, please?
- First door on the left.

Thanks.

What an as*h*le.

Karadec, I thought so.
-What are you doing here?

What, in the bathroom?
You wash your hands so often,

did you think those
around you don't notice??

Are you my mother?
What the hell are you doing here?

Look, I found you Sarah's letter,
in Jeanne's safe.

You've been in her office?
- Uh, yes.

Geez, do you know what you've done?

Read it! Sarah was also
assaulted by Philippe Leroux.

A real pervert.
Do you know what I think?

Our lawyer didn't want to defend
that b*stard anymore.

Will you read it today?
-(Quiet! Let me think!)

Okay, give it here.
-It won't bite.

Your fingerprints are on it.

Let's go, into the bathroom.
- Huh?

Stay there until the search is over.

I have something big for you
and you lock me in the bathroom.

Close it.
-Yes, okay!

Lock it.

I found the Sarah I was looking for.

Mr Leroux, as director
of Tech Activits you knew Sarah Vallee.

She recently sent
this letter to your lawyer.

"My name is Sarah Vallee.

I'm desperate,
for your client has destroyed me.

I was hired five years ago
as his executive secretary.

That's where hell started."
-Beautiful prose. Just stop it.

You know how it went, don't you?

Harassment, as*ault. Daily routine.

If I may finish reading the letter?
You might feel guilty and cry.

"'His voice, his smell, of cold tobacco,
his presence was intimidating.

He became my prison and destroyed me.

Mrs. Levasseur, if you have
any compassion,

I beg you to stop
defending my executioner."

Heartbreaking, but Sarah Vallee was
incompetent, depressed and a fantasist.

I wanted to fire her.
The rest are fabrications.

Is Sofia Belkadi also a fantasist?

You have bad luck. You take on
two girls, two fantasists.

Sofia Belkadi's claim was unfounded and
Sarah Vallee never accused me.

You may not regret anything,
but your ex-lawyer did.

Jeanne Levasseur did.

Sarah Vallee's suicide and this
letter kept her awake for weeks.

We think that Jeanne no longer
wanted to defend you on appeal,

and wanted to submit
this letter to the court.

You wanted to silence her,
and kidnap her.

But her husband tried
everything to stop you.

Then the g*n goes off.

Is that a question?

Whether I k*lled my lawyer's husband?
No, I k*lled no one.

Where were you yesterday? Not at work.
-I worked at home.

On something handy with a screen
and keyboard: A laptop.

A witness saw you get into the car.
Where did you go?

Mr. Leroux, you can go.

Commissioner, can you explain?
-Don't be surprised.

The proof against my client was
obtained by breaking and entering.

You're lucky if you keep your badge.

Then I'll go.

Thanks for the coffee.

His secretary saw a tall, red-haired
woman entering Levasseur's office.

ADAM: f*ck!

Karadec, I have something to tell you.
-No, you shut up.

Is there a problem?
- Do I have a problem?

The only evidence against
Leroux is useless.

Our suspect has been released.

And thanks to whom?

Now go.

Wait a minute. Ask the lawyer
where his cigars come from!

Oh, yeah.

Who wants spring rolls?
-Me!

Hey Thea, put that thing
away for a moment.

Family, sociable, conversations,
does that mean something to you?

How do the police handcuff someone
who has no arms?

I dunno. I'll ask them next time
I get pulled over by the cops.

Can I have the rice?

Don't want spring rolls?
Don't like spring rolls?

Nice, such a r*cist joke.
- Come on.

You know what, Ludo has
the little ones this "weekend."

Shall we be the two of us
eating an ice cream in the park?

Cool. Do you also pay
for the merry-go-round?

I'll do what I can, work with me.

ELIOTT: Ah! Dad's taking us
to the aquarium on Saturday.

To see the manta rays. My favorite
fish, it dies if it doesn't swim.

Thea, what's your favorite fish?

The carp, because
it keeps its mouth shut.

No Thea, that's not allowed! f*ck.

Talk nice.

That's great sweetie, the aquarium.

What's going on, little chicken?

I didn't recognize you there.

Why do you get on your brother
like that?

Why am I not like Eliott and you?
Why can't I see numbers in color?

Why do I have to read everything
four times to remember it?

Are you joking?
You're just like me, Thea:

Stubborn, rebellious, and very annoying.
Like me!

Come on, stop comparing
yourself to your brother.

But he has everything!

Your memory, your weird brain,
the way you don't care about things.

And a father?
Isn't that what you wanted to say?

You also have a father.
I'm sure Romain-

Stop! I didn't mention him, you
always bring everything back to him.

I just wanted to tell you-
-Never mind. I want to sleep.

Here's the samosas.
The rest is coming soon.

I knew I could find you here.

I spoke to the judge.
He can't do anything about the letter.

I don't get it.

Why did you put me with that woman?

I'm in the sh*t.
Divisional will skin me.

Well no. We are on top of Leroux
and will find his trail.

As for Morgane...

I am...
- Never mind, it's okay.

Did you want to be the top commissioner
of Pas-de-Calais?

Daphne? I'm listening.

Leroux's phone has been traced.

He was with the lawyer when she was k*lled.

OK, call him in, we'll question him.
-Okay.

He left a trail.

Henri.

Bad day?

One of the worst this year.

You never see the rainbow
when you look down.

Okay, Henri. That's right.

Say, you know about flowers,
don't you?

A little.
-Tell me,

how long does a bouquet
of flowers in a vase last?

That depends on the
flowers and the vase,

and especially the
temperature in the room.

But roughly, Henri? Roughly.
-Four or five days minimum.

Four or five days.

No, Eliott. No, watch out.
Put it back in.

Really? Now everything is out.

Here, baby.
-Hello. Is your mom home?

Mom, I don't know who it is.
-How so? And you just let them in?

Here... eat.

Can I have a minute? About the case.
Here... eat.

Hello, Mrs. Alvaro.

Children, this is Cmdr. Karadec.
Karadec, the kids.

He's the one you're tied to?
-Yes, exactly.

Is it nice?
-I serve at my pleasure

That's not quite
how it happened.

IMITATES
AIRPLANE

...

I'm here to catch up with you.

Big eyes!
Big eyes!

ELIOTT: Where's the butter?
- Oh my, it's coming out again!

I don't know, in the fridge...
-We have Leroux.

His phone pinged at Levasseur's
at the time of the crime.

We don't have Jeanne Levasseur
yet, but all teams are on it.

What are you doing in my kitchen?
Oh, don't cry, huh?

I've been interrogating Leroux all night.
- Look! Mama will eat it!

He swears he
only rang the bell,

but no one
was there

Mmmmm!but no one
was there.

Mmmmm!The usual nonsense.
Are you listening?

It's veryThe usual nonsense.
good!Are you listening?

Try it! But?

But what?
Try it. But?

Apparently you're on to
something, so: 'but...'?

Delicious,
you know.

I feel it when
someone is lying.

Slight inflection,
nervousness,

There...

anything can
There...betray him.

But here: nothing!

Leroux isn't lying.

MORGANE: Of course he's not,

he didn't kidnap the lawyer.
ADAM: What?

Here, make yourself
useful and take over.

ELIOTT: Mom, can I
have orange juice?

MORGANE: "Please"?
- Please.

Did you inquire about those cigars?
-Yes, I asked Sedillot Esq.

Let me guess: he was
given them by Leroux

when he came back from Cuba.

How do you know that?
-The cigar Sedillot was smoking

had no ring. Those ones
are bought on the plantation.

When I can't sleep,
I watch documentaries.

Sedillot is as white as anything
and has not been to Cuba.

Leroux is much more likely.

Certainly because Sarah talked about

him smelling like tobacco.

Do you remember?

Rosalie has also been to Cuba.

Remember that orange car?
It said 'Havana' on it.

That was the only thing that had no
dust on it, so she's just been there.

Hmm. Whoops!

We're late. You'll take us, won't you?

Jacket, shoes and school bag.
We're gone.

Rosalie the lawyer's sister and Philippe
Leroux have been to Cuba together.

They're having an affair,
she's crazy about him.

You saw the inside of her house,
how old-fashioned!

Rosalie hasn't had a turn for
a long time. Ideal for Leroux.

Sir, where is your flashing light?
-Eliott, we're talking.

Real police have flashing lights.
- Shut up, Eliott.

There. Are you satisfied now?

SIREN
What are you doing?

I know him. Otherwise
he'd never stop.

ELIOTT: Whoa! Look, a g*n!

THEA: Yes, he's a cop.
- Don't touch.

Don't drop me off in front of
the school with the flashing light.

Oh it's okay!
THEA: No, I need to.

SIREN

ELIOTT: Kiss, mom!

SIREN

...

So Leroux was looking for
something to use against Jeanne,

and found-
-Rosalie to seduce.

I don't know what he did but
she fell head over heels for him.

She asked her sister
not to send him to prison.

Jeanne must have
mentioned Sarah's letter,

and then the sisters got into a fight.

Yeah, only she has a watertight alibi,
her research presentation.

OK.

OK?
OK.

OK?
OK. OK!

Yeah, well.

An alibi
Yeah, well.

An alibi for yesterday.

Here: suppose the day of the crime
is not the day of the crime.

PIPE SMOKING SOUND

SHE LAUGHS

That's it!

It's not easy to irritate you, huh?

LUDO: Morgane, I have
a student with me.

MORGANE: (And thank you.)

(Thank you, thank you, thank you!)

You're driving me crazy, Morgane.
- (Go, go, go, go, go!)

You're going with daddy.

ADAM: Mrs. Alvaro, this is a
crime scene. Please touch nothing.

Look at those plants. Look!

They're all dead.

Maybe they forgot to water,
that's all.

Jeanne took a selfie here 3 days ago.

The vase was full of beautiful flowers.

Don't worry about that.
Look.

This was on the day her husband's
body was found.

36 hours later the water has run out
and the flowers have faded.

It must have been very hot here.
Super hot!

So...

Okay; right:

Rosalie just wants to convince Jeanne
to defend Leroux

as planned, and above all,
not give the judge new evidence.

But Jeanne refuses.

I won't defend a pervert, understand?

Then: Antoine Levasseur
intervenes and Rosalie...

What's your idea?

Click-click!

Rosalie trips, he drops dead...

Good, okay. Then Rosalie panics,
ties up her sister,

and tries to think of a solution.

It was involuntary, an accident.

Then why kidnap her sister?
- To buy time.

To avoid the trial, to save her lover.

I don't know if she thought it through.

And what about her alibi?
20 people saw her.

Maybe Rosalie came to her senses
and she devised something to deceive us.

f*ck!

Come on, they
have a palm tree indoors!

Wow! f*cking classy.

Do you know what that is?

Don't touch- DON'T TOUCH!
-That's a thermostat.

You can set it remotely.
-I know, yes.

That means Rosalie
used her phone to…?

To increase the room temperature...
-Yes, baby!

...to that of Antoine Levasseur's body.

That's why the pathologist's
calculation was wrong,

the time of death
was moved 24 hours.

That way she could have
a watertight alibi.

Then she set the temperature
to 20°C for when the cops arrive.

Genius. That b*tch is a genius.

OK. It's difficult.

But she's a biologist.
Specializing in bacterial spread.

She knows exactly what to do.

You know what, Mrs. Alvaro?

You have it.

Although...
- 'Although' what?

Where's her sister?

We searched everywhere.
No box, no garage, second home,

she doesn't even have a car.

FOR RENT
STORAGE - 130 SQ FT

(She has a storeroom.) Rosalie
rents a storeroom. Come, let's go.

A storeroom?

It's over, don't worry,
I'm with the police Jeanne.

Everything will be fine.

Get up. Can you walk?

(Yes.)Yes?

It'll be fine, take it easy.
Yeah. I've got you.

I'll help you.

Well, not too bad a line of work, huh?

I'm sitting here taking root
and have to pee.

Wait a minute, Morgane. Here.

What's this?
- I'm offering you a job.

As our consultant. Atypically, the
hierarchy has approved.

The cops ain't for me.

If you change your mind,
you know where to find me.

SIREN

MORGANE: Wait- WAIT!

LAUGHING

Wait, I'll fall soon!

Good idea, that ice cream.

This is totally "cool,"

bonding and opening up.
- Yes.

I need to tell you about your father.
-I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Wait, let me finish, it's important.

Romain always wanted you.
- Weird way to show it,

when you got pregnant.
- No, he didn't leave.

He didn't leave, he disappeared.

I think something happened to him.

The police don't
believe me, but I know it,

and believe me, he
would never give up on us.

Listen to me.
It's true we were young.

But you, baby, we both wanted you,
you hear me? We wanted you.

But his disappearance, nobody's
seen him for 15 years?

I don't mean to hurt you mom,
but he just left.

No, you're wrong.

I can't prove it, but you're wrong.

No. Thea-

I want 30% more salary.

15%.

20%. And a spot in daycare.

If you want me to do voluntary
public service, make me happy.

Okay, is that all?
-No.

If I work for you, then
you work for me.

I want you to find someone.

Romain Destat, missing for 15 years.

Agreed.
