- f*ck! sh*t!

OK, power outage,
the alarm didn't go off.

Everybody get up! Hurry up!
We're in a hurry here!

OK? Come on, up,
get up! Up up up!

THEA: (What's going on?)
- Take him please, I have to call,

the alarm didn't go off.

- Yes, excuse me, I'll be a little late.
What time is it? What's the time?

ELIOTT: It’s 8:10.
- I had an appointment at 8:30.

This is just to tell you I'll
be there around 9 at the latest.

What? 2 pm? No. No! No!
No, what do I tell work?

No, they don't know.

No, I don't have RTT,* I'm a consultant.
* PAID TIME OFF IN EXCHANGE FOR OT

Consultant is like 'independent'—

—it's like 'in your a*s,
retirement and maternity leave!'

No, know what? I'll come in,
it'll be easier. Right away!

- What's this appointment?
- Uh, the 1st trimester ultrasound.

I struggled like a dog to get it,
- Your ultrasound?

so there's no question of
missing it. Have a nice day!

- Does this mean
you're keeping it?

So, we're going to put
you in daddy's arms. Oh daddy?

There you go. Come on.
Have a nice day!

LUDO: Morgane, how can I
drop her off? I can't even walk!

- Yes, just call my mother.

- Mom, a child, it’s
not decided lightly.

We'll talk about it this evening,
because now I have to teleport!

What a day!

Hey... look at that!

Excuse me, sorry. Maternity?

- Hey, oh, everyone
takes their turn, please.

- Ah... Sir, sorry,
Maternity, please?

Not listening, fine.

Excuse me, do you mind
if I cut? I'm pregnant.

VIOLAINE: Me too. So get
in line like everyone else.

- Yeah, OK, but this is my fourth.

My cervix can come loose at
the slightest sneeze, OK? SHOUTS

- But...

- (Okay!)

(Oh sh*t!)

Ah! Hey!
HONKING

We meet again!

- Good morning, doctor.
Did the operation go well?

- Yes yes... Thank you.

Uh, so here it is, uh...

In addition to being a
surgeon, I'm pregnant.

I had my first ultrasound this morning,
but... Well, I'll keep it short for you.

We had emergency open heart
surgery, we almost lost the kid,

well, don't worry, everything's
fine, but it's true,

now I'm a little late, and I...

Yeah. OK. OK, OK!

I'm in trouble. I denied the pregnancy,
the father may be a colleague and..

In short, if I'm late, I'll be toast.
- Yes, that's-

- I'll you everything. He requested
a transfer without consulting me.

I mean, after all we've
been through! So clearly

the guy doesn't give a damn
about me, not to mention the baby.

Yes, he doesn't know, OK,

but not for the lack of trying to tell him!

It's true, if I'm honest,
there are 3 potential fathers,

(but, I don't know why,
but I feel it, I feel it, I feel it!)

- Okay, next!

He was the head of PMA.*

He's helped so many people!

ADAM: I understand.

Should you notify
a family member?

- His brother and...
his ex- wife.

- No children?

- No. He said that...

his mission was to
help others have them.

- Hmm.

- Oh...

- The patients present this morning,
they all stayed?

- Yes.

A hospital official stopped everyone,
they're with your colleague.

BENOÎT:
Yes, he called us in.

It was our follow-up after IVF.

- It's thanks to him I'm pregnant.

Before him we had consulted
several specialists, but it didn't work.

GILLES: Very well, thank you.
I will take your contact details.

- Uh... We just gave them to you.

- Oh yes! Sorry, I'm exhausted.
Actually, I didn't sleep well, I...

- (Psst!)

- Our boss is leaving
and we're all a little shaken up .

(Oh fudge!)

(The 1st trimester ultrasound!)

If I can put it that way...!

- Funny, I thought
I saw your car in the lot.

GILLES: Oh?

- Okay, fine, you burned me.
I came to get a Pap smear.

There! Since I have
to reveal my privacy,

I ask you, what the hell are doing
here? No? Right! Well then. Huh?

- Don't worry,
I'm leaving at the end of the case,

I'm just ensuring the handover
to Cmdr Prigent.

- Already?
ADAM: Yeah.

- Okay, come on, let's not waste
time. The doctor, what'd he die of?

- Listen, I'm not going to go back
through it all, you'll read the report.

FRED: Sorry for the delay. I made
the mistake of taking the ring road.

And there was an accident,

a family of hedgehogs
crossed at the wrong time.

Help took a long time to arrive,
I had to perform CPR.

GILLES LAUGHS

FRED: It was hell.

ADAM: Very sad.
FRED: I saved some, but not all.

MORGANE GUFFAWS

- He's joking.

- As the coroner clarified
for those who were on time,

the victim received a blow to
the head, using a fire extinguisher.

This may indicate that
it was not premeditated.

FRED: Given the violence of the
blow, the k*ller must be strong.

And... the rigidity?
ADAM: Death occurred early this morning.

According to the first
witnesses, Dr Bubé was liked.

No known animosities... yes?
- Nonsense!

In my opinion, your doctor
had serious 'animosities,' as you say.

Earlier, he had an
appointment with a Mr Lopez.

Stop me if I'm
wrong, obviously, but:

It's still quite rare for
gentlemen to make a

gynecologist appointment
without their lady.

Because I imagine Mr Lopez isn't a patient,

he's the hospital's legal guy.
LEGAL SERVICES

So I think your doctor had
complaints up the a*s.

- Not bad.

- I imagine Céline warned you?

- About the 160 IQ?
- Yes.

- Yeah, it’s amazing.
- Mm-hmm.

It saves you time, it's great.
- Yes!

Yeah, it- it depends.

SMASH CUT
Fred spoke with the
hospital's legal director, and,

as Morgane guessed, a couple did
file a complaint against the establishment.

- And especially against the doctor.
It appears rather serious:

telephone harassment,
a barrage of requests,

then boom— lawyers, etc.

- We're waiting for the two women,
they should arrive soon.

There it is.

Yes, 'two women'-
Hello, Gilles? Are you with us?

Something about a woman-woman
couple that bothers you?

- No, not at all.

Since it's the Commander's
last briefing, I-

I'm taking mental photos.

- All right. OK, uh...

- ((Psst. Were you offered this position
before they recruited someone?))

FRED: Any leads from
the hospital CCTV?

- ((No.))

ADAM: Yeah. Daphné,
where are we with the videos?

- Daphne?
- Well, we have nothing usable.

The security system was vandalized
6 months ago, including the PMA's CCTV.

FRED:
Great, we're moving forward. Hey 160,

don't you have something up your sleeve,
a hunch— I dunno, something awesome?

- No, nothing.

FRED: Nothing. Alright.

OK, fine. Look, I'm going to see
if our suspects have arrived.

Then, if you have any business...
call me, an email... I dunno...

- I'm really sorry you found out
about my departure like that.

I wanted to be the
first one to tell you about it.

- Well yes, it’s brutal!
ADAM: I know, Gilles.

But I'm sure it will go well.
Cmdr Prigent has my trust.

Now we have a case to solve,
the last one together.

So can I count on you
to give it your best?

ADAM: Gilles?

Daphne?

Morgane?

- What?
- Will you give it your best?

- Extremely.

- OK.

Thanks.

JUDITH: I don't really understand
what we're doing here, actually.

Uh, Dr Bubé will have-

- Dr Bubé is dead, he was
k*lled this morning at his office.

- sh*t!

ZOE: We're here because
you think it was us?

- According to the hospital you launched
legal proceedings against Dr Bubé, why?

- Uh, because we were tired
of being pushed around.

- Yeah.
- We told him we've want a child for years.

So when PMA was legalized
for us, we started right away.

- Yes, we contacted
a lot of specialists, but

it wasn't that simple.
As soon as I mentioned Zoé,

suddenly their schedules were full.

The fact was, two lesbians
weren't their priority.

- But...
- But the worst, by far, was Dr Bubé.

ADAM: What do you mean?

JUDITH: We thought he was
different, given his reputation.

- Oh, it's leaking everywhere!
- It's all over my dress!

Oh! Oh no, it's annoying. sh*t.

It's a festival of hassles.
- Oh yeah?

- Well, between Ludo and his
broken leg, the power outage this morning,

and the doctor who got k*lled
on the exact day of my... jogging...

- Are you running?
- Yeah. I was going to start this morning.

So, really, you see...
DAPHNE: You have no luck.

MORGANE: I'm fed up.

Then it had to happen.

- What had to happen?
- Well, the return of karma.

You've done so
many super-selfish things

your whole life that it's
expected that fate will reverse.

- I did selfish things?
Give me a break!

- Well-
- It's not karma—

—it's a pain in the a*s,
that's what it's called.

- It's not, OK? OK.
- Yes.

But if I were you,
I'd be carfeful.

The return of karma often manifests

as a messenger or prophet
who wants to take the

form of a barn owl, or, well, a coyote.

Sometimes, a moray eel. Rare,
but it happens. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

COOING

JUDITH: ...spoke of a bad
experience, so I was suspicious.

At the first appointment
I didn't mention Zoe right away.

- You pretended to be single?

- Straight and single, yes.

- And then we decided that...
I would make an appointment.

- Dr Bubé was very assuring
about the implantation.

- For him everything was 'green.'
- Yes, until the day of the transfer.

But then I arrived with Zoé,
and he saw us together,

he said he was sorry,
but it turned out

none of the embryos were viable.

- We asked for an explanation and
he politely pushed us towards the exit.

And for six months, radio silence.

- "Stop," wait, 6 months?
Did she say 6 months?

DAPHNE: Mm-hmm.
- Daphne, wasn't their security system

vandalized 6 months ago?
- Well, yeah.

FRED: And we have video from that period?
- Uh, yes.

- I never believed his embryo story.

You don't go from
3 to zero just like that.

So, yes, it deserved
a discrimination lawsuit.

ZOE: But not death.

FRED: Okay.

DAPHNE: This is the
date the suspects are talking about.

The sabotage was no illusion.

- Hey! The two doctors there.

Is there anything that surprises you?

Their shirts, don’t you see anything?
OTHERS: No.

- Good.

As you know,

since antiquity, doctors wear white.

Symbol of purity.

And hey, it's easier to clean.
Some bleach, and there you go!

They're beautiful, huh?

But then, after the two world wars,
they saw that all the blood squirting

on the white coats...
- Stains.

- Exactly!
SOLDIERS SHOUTING

- So, to avoid the butcher boy look,
COMBAT NOISE

we had the idea to switch to green shirts.
COMBAT NOISE

I don't know if you've noticed,
red on green is less visible.

MORGANE:
Well, green doesn't suit everyone.

Then, in the 1960s,
the first medical TV series began.

But white on screen
was harsh on the eyes.

So they opted for blue shirts.

'DOCTOR': Sophie, a gurney, quickly!
'SOPHIE': Yes Dr Ruiz, right away!

- Is the gurney coming?
- Not bad, blue!

It worked so well that
fashion caught on in real life,

especially in the operating room,

where the light is so bright that
blue dazzles less than white.

So in quite a few
hospitals, white shirts

are reserved for
assistants, like Marilyn.

- So our 2 guys are medical assistants—

—OK, "so what"?
- Look at their collars!

- What?

- They have banded
collars and not V-shaped.

- Those guys aren't part of the hospital.

GILLES: Ahhh!
FRED: So they were there incognito

6 months ago when the
security system was vandalized.

- There it is.

- Daphne, can you try
facial recognition please please?

- Yes...

MATCH FOUND

- Oh.
Enzo Collard, 29 years old.

4 years for vandalism and violence,

monitored by the DGSI*
as an animal rights extremist.
* INTERNAL SECURITY

He has several
actions to his credit,

notably in butcheries
and slaughterhouses.

- Wait, I recognize him.

- How so?
SHE'S FLABBERGASTED

- Well, I almost ran over him over
this morning in the parking lot.

MORGANE: Go on!

- My colleagues will carry out
the checks. Stay reachable.

- Very well.
- Thank you.

- Goodbye sir.
- Goodbye.

They don't have an alibi, but...
- If you please—

- Uh— thank you so much.
Right,

the hospital confirms the incident.

6 months ago, 2 men entered
the building and sabotaged an incubator.

- Great.
- Embryos were destroyed,

including those of the
Commander's suspects.

The affair was hushed up to
protect the hospital's reputation.

- Yes, Daphne! Good game!
SHE LAUGHS

- Uh, what's going on?
FRED: We have 2 suspects,

Enzo Collard, leader of
an anti-speciesist collective,

and another activist
we have not yet identified.

Morgane saw them leaving
the hospital after the m*rder.

- Two anti-speciesist activists, okay.
Why would they target a hospital?

- Well, we'll ask them, but
we have to catch them first.

- Yes.
- The DGSI located Enzo Collard,

at the moment he works
at the Vauban Garden.

- Oh!
- YES! Well done, Gillou!

FRED: Let's go!

CROSSTALK

FRED: Great, team!
- All right, no problem.

ZOO CLOSED

- Okay, I have the info: Enzo Collard

and his accomplice work here.

- Okay, great.

- The girl I had the pleasure
of talking to at the gate

told me that they've taken care of

the maintenance of the cages
for the last few weeks.

- Mm-hmm.
- Well I get the impression someone

is going to release the
pandas and orangutans.

Right, shall we go?
- Absolutely not!

There's too many people, it's too "risky."

We wait for them to finish work, and

approach them outside without making waves.

- "Boring!"

FRED: Are you serious?

- We don't know how they'll react.

The last thing we need is
alerting them to our presence.

- Oh, well sure, warning
people isn’t really your thing.

- Excuse me?
- Oh nothing.

- I don't understand.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIMPATIENT SIGH

- Seriously, Morgane,
now that you say it, I wonder—

—Adam, you never really
explained why you're leaving.

- That's right, Adam!
It's a good question!

- Well let's just say
I wanted new challenges.

- Oh yeah? Like the challenge of

respecting people enough to not
ask for a transfer behind their backs?

- Yeah, for example.

or like working,
with trust, without risking

betrayal at the first opportunity.
SHE LAUGHS DARKLY

COUGHS (AWKWARD
EMBARRASSMENT)

- Or the challenge of giving
people a second chance,

and not running away
at the slightest misstep.

FRED: (Oh f*ck.)

Excuse me, I think I touched
a sensitive spot., right?

- No, not at all.

- Anyway...

- No no. Honestly, not at all.

- Okay.

- I give second chances.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

Wow! Wow!

FRED: Wow! Great name.

Actually, I find it a bit rotten, but

when you're in prison
you'll have a lot of time—

—really, all your time— to find
something better. TAPS TABLE

You know, Alain, deep
down, I agree with you 100%.

What we put animals through,
it's abominable. Really.

However, something escapes me:
how does vandalizing a hospital

improve their lot?
You explain it to me!

ENZO:
Am I in police custody? I ask, because,

according to article 63-1 of the Penal
Code— as you well know, by the way—

—I don't have to actually answer.
ADAM: Indeed.

But not cooperating can be
seen as a chargeable element.

Six months ago, you
sabotaged an incubator which

contained the embryos
of around 20 couples.

Why do such a thing?

- Humans k*ll almost 4 billion
animals every day for food.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFRED: Hmm.

- It's not a big deal if there
are 15 fewer of us next year.

- Well, actually, no. I understand
that k*lling a doctor

is almost an eco-friendly
gesture for you, right?

Here, look at this. Look well.

So now you're going to
tell us what happened:

you went into the office, you got busted,

you panicked and it all went to hell.

Biff, boff, 'oh'! Pow!

- We didn't k*ll him, we didn't k*ll him,

and I already said that I will
answer no more of your questions.

- Ai yi-yi yi-yi yi-yi,
this is going badly.

This is going badly.

ADAM: Alain, you're
18 years old and have no record.

If you let yourself get
drawn into this by your friend,

and you want to get out
of it, you have to help us.

- I have nothing to tell you.

- I tell you, I absolutely have to
reschedule an ultrasound!

Yes, OK, this is not
my first barbecue,

May I remind you, my eggs aren't
the freshest, so if we could check...

What? Huh?

The wishlist. The birth wishlist.
It's €3,600 and growing.

- No no no, don't put me on
hold, that's twice already! sh*t!

- Are you listening?
- What?

- The birth wishlist.
- Yes?

- €3,600, huh? You should've got
pregnant before selling Chloé's stroller!

- Oh, Thea, it’s okay.
- Better pray it’s a girl,

because if it's a boy the
clothes are 1,000 bucks more.

- Hello!

THEA: Unless you
dress him gender neutral.

- What's that smell?
- A fire started in the kitchen.

- How did a fire start?
- Everyone's fine, but with my leg

I couldn't move. The firefighters
said there was a loose wire,

Apparently it came from Gilles' toaster.

- It's really strange, I haven't found
my toaster since you moved.

Are you sure you didn't
do something with it?

- I'm waiting for the printer.

I knew it! Ha!

Wait, don't move!

Hold this for me.

Don't move!
- But-

Morgane! This is not OK!

- Yes, it is OK! It's OK,
because imagine that our suspect

is a Bubé baby!

What I'm saying is that in Dr. Bubé's office

there was a wall covered
with birth announcements

for babies he helped conceive, OK?

Well, among them there
was an 'Alain' born in 2005.

Oh please.

I don't know about you, but

I don't know many
Alains under 70 years old.

And for good reason!
The popularity of

that first name peaked in the 1950s

when 25,000 were born per year.

To give you an idea, in 2005

there were 73 new Alains
out of 800,000 births.

So the probability that there is one
in Bubé's department is 1 in 10,000.

- I don't know what she's doing. Gilles...?

- Uh, yes...
- And then, if we add to that

that our suspect was born on March 8,

like the baby in the announcement,

well, then, so there we are!

MORGANE: One chance in... uh...

...1 in 3,650,000!

Suffice it to say, it's the same kid.
And if you don't believe me...

there’s the birthmark!

- Gilles, can we pull up
the suspect's pants, please?

MORGANE: ((Thanks.))
- Is it true what she said?

Were you conceived by Dr Bubé?

- Yes.
- So why are you mad at him?

- Because he k*lled my mother.

ADAM: This is your mom?

- I was 8 months old when she died.

My father always told me
that she had a heart problem.

But one day I heard him
mention chemo to my uncle.

He ended up telling me that
she had breast cancer in the early 2000s,

and that 2 months after
my birth, she had it again.

- I'm sorry about your mother, but I don't
understand what it has to do with Dr Bubé.

- I didn't understand at first either.

I went online.

Her cancer was
hormonal-dependent,

With her profile, pregnancy was contraindicated,

so IVF with injections and
all that, amounted to suicide!

- Uh, wait, are you telling me

that Dr Bubé accidentally
caused your mother's death

by allowing her to become pregnant?
- It wasn't an accident, he knew

perfectly well what would happen.

He didn't care, he's Dr Bubé the
miracle worker, that's all that counts!

When I was 18,
I tried to contact him.

I thought he would apologize.

- And?
- He wouldn't even take my phone call.

He didn't even know who I was.

- And that's when you and
your friend Enzo Collard decided to

mess with his
department, to confront him.

- I just wanted to get my mother's
medical records, to prove what he did.

I met Enzo at a demonstration.

When I explained the hospital refused
to send them to me, he offered to help.

The destroyed incubator was me, not him.

We couldn't get to his
office to get the file, I got angry.

- That was 6 months ago.

But yesterday you
accessed his office yesterday.

What happened?

You finally met Dr Bubé, he didn't
know nything, and you cracked?

- (I didn't k*ll him.)
- Alain—

—several witnesses saw you
stay in his office for 5 minutes.

Even if you didn't take anything,
what did you do for 5 minutes?

KNOCKING

- Alain Forgét refuses to talk.

I hope his lawyer will
convince him to cooperate.

CELINE: Awesome. And
for the accusations

against the doctor, concerning his mother?

were you able to check them?
- No. I contacted the hospital, but,

they refuse to show
us the Estelle Forgét file

without a warrant or doctor's
presence. Medical confidentiality.

- Taking a break?

- Yeah. We have to
wait for the judge on the warrant,

I don't have anything to do so uh, fine.

- Same here.

- The same... yes, so it seems.

- Well listen, I'll see if the prosecutor
can speed things up.

ADAM: Okay, great, thanks.

Fred seems good.

ADAM: Huh?

A little impulsive, but...

dynamic, motivated.
- Yeah, I think so too.

- Mmm.

He gets along well with Morgane.

- OK, they get along well. And?

- No, I mean they get along really well.
- Well that's magnificent.

Maybe it'll prevent him
from screwing me over with

mysterious irreconcilable
differences with his colleague. Hmm?

- Yeah, it's stupid,
because we were close.

- Eh, uh...
He seems, and you...

- Well, no. The warrant, the judge, uh...

- No choice.
- So it seems!

FRED: RASPY (Hello?)
- Fred?

- (Yeah, hi.)

- Say, the LRPPN* is down, I can't find

the report of Enzo Collard's interview.

Here! This is it.

We share?
- Yes.

- Take this.

- Can I ask you a question?
- Yes.

- What's the damage between
you and Commander Grumpy?

I felt a kind of wintry tension
yesterday. Am I wrong?

- There's no damage. We don't
get along anymore, that's all.

- Yeah. OK, you slept together
and it wasn't great.

I understand, it's always disappointing.
- Look.

I get the sense this file was falsified.

See the 2 holes on
the kid's mom's blood test?

- Yes.
- It's like it's been stapled,

unstapled, and then re-stapled.

- You mean there's a modified page.
- Yeah. Which one?

Feel that, it's not
at all the same material.

This one is thin and rough,

while the others were printed
on super thick, glossy paper,

the kind private labs use to justify
the indecent prices of their analyses.

- OK.
- That's it. This rotten page...

- Yes...
- ...is from a place that doesn't have a cent.

- Okay...
- And that place is?

- The hospital.

- That's it!
- Bingo!

Okay... wait... This one
checks the tumor markers.

The kid is right,

Dr Bubé knew the mother had a
history of cancer when he started IVF.

- He's responsible for her resulting death.

He falsified the file to cover himself.

- Yes!

And you're completely
wrong, we've never slept together

Put this all back in there.

- f*ck, you scared me!

FRED: Hi.

ADAM: What are you doing?
FRED: Here? Uh, actually...

- We're checking.

- That's it, we- we're checking.
- Yes.

- The hospital called me,

that we could search the doctor's files,

so I wanted to check-
check with Morgane.

- It's OK, don't wear yourself out.
FRED: Okay...

- Morgane, can I speak with you?

- Nah, because we
have checking to do and...

- But now we've finished
checking. Uh, I'll leave you, huh?

I'll go; I want to have a smoke.
- Hey?

- Good luck.
- Well, uh...

- Commander.

- So...

So what's this about?

- Two days and you've already
dragged him into your bullshit.

- We're following a lead! That's OK, right?
- No, it's not actually.

You entered a hospital illegally, and
you violated medical confidentiality.

I won't always be there
to cover for you, Morgane.

- Wh- hey-
- They'll eventually fire you!

- I remind you that it's you
who talks like a big coward

so you can take the moral high ground!

- I'm a coward?

- Yes!
- After all I've done for you?

I f*cked up my life, Morgane!

For you!

Has there been an

- Morgane, that won't work, we've
never done that! Not you, not me!

- We'll have to improvise!

ADAM: sh*t!

- Yes! Got it, I got it!

Basic electronics, it doesn't
have to be very complicated.

I don't have enought time watching

I should have told you the truth

about the jewelry, about the report, it's true.

But, we're very
different, you and me, huh?

I'm sorry to tell you, but
sometimes you're such a—

—such a... thick-headed, control freak

that yes, I lied to you,
OK, but... please...

...it wasn't to use you!

I lied because... I lied because...

because I was afraid of losing you.

That's it!

MORGANE:

MORGANE: Pranksters.

Right, so yes, OK, I lied.

I didn't know which of the wires to cut.

But I had just told you
I always lie, so you knew!

And on that, I didn't lie!

And excuse me, but we had to
make a decision, because otherwise

we were going to have a
100% chance of staying in there, so...

FRED: Friends, we have a problem.

Alain and Enzo confessed to planting

a b*mb with fake blood
in the doctor's office.

ANTI-CLIMATICALLY
- Oh yes?

- Oh, I... I guess I'm a
little late with the warning.

- Yes, a little.
FRED: Yeah, but here's the good news,

Morgane and I found something, did
she tell you? About the staples thing?

MORGANE: No, I didn't have time.
- That's not my problem anymore.

Okay...

You know what?
You couldn't be more wrong!

Because I was
particularly clever on this one

and you should've liked it!

FRED: Clearly!

- No kidding.

The thing with the staples,
that was kinda hot, right?

- Well yes.
Here, 160, hold onto the mom's file,

I'll get the car.

EVERYTHING IS OK,
MARILYN

MORGANE: 'Everything is OK, Marilyn.'

Yeah, OK, you were the one who
checked this file for Dr Bubé in 2005.

You modified a page.
Am I wrong?

- When...

...when Estelle came to our department,

four other centers had
already turned her away.

At the beginning I told her, like I
tell the others, that with her cancer

she shouldn't consider
pregnancy for at least 5 years.

But she burst into tears
and... and she begged me.

- And therefore you falsified her file.
- Hunh...

...You know, all these women who
come to our department, each has a story...

SNAPS BOOK

- Stories. Stories are important.

- Wishing for a child who
doesn't come is a great suffering.

FRED: Hmm.

MARILYN:
Estelle wanted this baby so much.

MARILYN:
But, well, there was no miracle.

The cancer took her a few
months after giving birth.

- So you never told Dr Bubé the truth.

Eighteen years later,
Estelle's son comes back,

and demands accountability, right?

- At first, I screened his calls, but

he kept coming back to the chart.

I don't understand how this child
can be mad at the doctor for being alive.

- I imagine that due to being harassed,

the doctor had started
asking himself questions.

- I ended up confessing
everything to him 3 days ago.

- Ah! Ah! A confession
made, half forgiven, eh, eh?

SHE LAUGHS
- She's not wrong!

- I was afraid it would all go wrong.
- He hadn't forgiven you?

- He was so mad,

he had me transferred to reception
so I'd be closer to the patients,

and he wanted to check all my files.
BOTH: Oh...!

- Estelle was the only time I've broken
the rules in my 25-year career.

- Yeah? Hmm? Are we sure? Hmm?
LAUGHS

- 25 years and that's the only
black mark, it's a good career.

And what happened?

- I promised to resign
without making waves.

- Sure, don't make waves.
MARILYN: And in exchange-

- 'And in exchange'?
- He agreed to...

...to not inform the Order of Nurses.*
* PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS ASSN

- Nice!
FRED: Nice.

- "Fair play"!
- Right. But didn't he change his mind?

No? He called you the
day before the m*rder,

at 10:37 pm.
- That's late! Yeah.

To do what? To...

...to tell you he was going to report you?
SHE SNIFFLES LOUDLY

Then you decided to m*rder him.
- No—

—he didn't talk about that.
FRED: What then?

- He just wanted me to explain
my file system, for his new assistant.

- Your file system?
MORGANE & FRED: At
10:37 pm?

DISAPPROVING
- Whoa-oh!

QUIETLY
- I didn't k*ll him.

I wasn't even there
when- when he died,

you can check!
- That's exactly what we do, we check!

- We're inspectors.
- We check, we verify.

- We verify!
- And I keep verifying.

- And I verify again!

THEY LAUGH

Joke.

- Besides, I checked your badge, and

8:42am was when you checked into the
hospital parking lot the day of the m*rder.

8:42 am.
And you logged onto your computer at 8:50,

which took you how long?
- Beep! Eight minutes!

- Eight minutes. More than enough
time to stop in the doctor's office

and m*rder him.
- Bam!

- No! It took me a
while to park because

my parking station was stolen!

- This is for staff only!

- Hey... look at that!
RESERVED: MEDICAL STAFF

- But- But- say something!

- He just wanted me to explain
my file system, for his new assistant.

DESTROYED
INCUBATOR ROOM

- Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh sh*t!

Can we agree that you just said

that someone— and
we don't care who,

because now isn't
the time, all right?—

someone stole your— 'parking station'?

Nobody in France says 'parking station,'

no, we say 'parking space.'
You're from Quebec, right?

sh*t, you could've said so
earlier, we'd have saved time!

- You're a pain, 160.
We were onto something!

- We don't know anything! She
didn't do it! Please, she's from Quebec!

Quebecers are surrounded 24 hours a day

by roast beefs* who don't bother
* ENGLISH

to learn 3 words of French!

It annoys them, and so
they can't stand anglicisms.

So they don't say 'go shopping,' but 'shop.'

They don't say 'weekend,'
but 'end of the week.'

And they don't say 'parking
space,' but 'parking station.'

- OK, I was born in Montreal, but how
does this connect with the doctor’s death?

- The connection is that not only
do you not speak exactly like us,

but you don't write dates like us either!

- In France, the convention
for when we note a date,

we do it 'Day / Month / Year.'

It's not like that everywhere, for example,

in the United States it's
'Month / Day / Year.'

And then in China or Japan?

They are
'Year / Month / Day.'

Well, in Canada it's obviously a mess,

given that half of the
population is English-speaking

and the other
French-speaking, and, well,

so that there are no errors,
your government recommends using

the ISO 8601 system, huh? That is to say:

'Year / Month / Day.'

The opposite of ours.

You see what I mean?

FRED: Of course, it's obvious.

- You don't see at all!

- He got the baby wrong!

That's why he called his assistant in

the middle of the night
to talk about the filing system.

Fine, I'll make it short for you.
Six months ago,

Alain and Enzo
sabotaged the incubator.

- AAF!

- Yeah!

As a result, the doctor needed to
inseminate his patients in a hurry,

for fear of losing the embryos.

So he calls everyone who can come, only—

—it's Friday, and usually there's
no insemination on Fridays. Why?

BOTH: Because, it's the day... of...

FRED: For...
MORGANE: His assistant's day off.

He's forced to fend for himself.

Obviously he got his wires crossed.

He believed that the
embryo marked '22/01/23'

was the embryo collected
on January 23, 2022.

Yes, but because-
- Not possible.

-with the system...?

- ISIO, uh...
- The way Marilyn does it,

23 - 1 - 22 actually means

January 22, 2023!

- It's reversed.
- He was a meathead!

As a result, he sent Judith Varonne home

telling her that her embryos
were no longer viable.

- I'm sorry madam, your
embryos are no longer viable.

- What? I don't understand.
- I really don't understand.

- Let's proceed with the insemination.
Don't worry.

- And he mistakenly inseminated

another patient with the same initials.

'Violaine Jezebel.' It's a big mess
and very bad news to report.

Which brings us to the motive?
- I'm coming to that!

Our doctor obviously didn't
realize he messed up.

But later, when Marilyn
confessed to him that 20 years earlier

one of these patients
had cancer, he panicked.

So he went to check
all the files from top to bottom,

MORGANE:
That's where he stumbles across his mistake.

- Big mistake. He wanted
to warn the husband first

to prepare his wife for the bad news.

- No, we won't tell them, it will destroy her!

- I'm sorry Mr Jezebel, but that's not-

- No! I don't care about
your embryo story!

I don't give a damn! Six months
she's come to you for a baby!

Six months!
- Calm down!

YELLS, CRASHING

- And then, a bad calculation.
A very bad calculation-

WHISTLING, TRAILS OFF

FRED: Because then...?

So, uh...

FRED:
Benoît decided to protect his wife.

We know that on the morning
of the m*rder she left him alone

for about 10 minutes.
Meaning we now have a motive.

That's all.
GILLES: OK, I'll call in Benoît Jézabel.

- Great.
- Well done, Morgane.

FRED: Thanks.
DAPHNE: I'm going to tell Céline.

FRED: Okay.

- He's the father, right?

FRED: ((I saw a file
with your name at the hospital.))

If you want to talk
to someone with no children,

with an
unstable romantic situation,

and above all without
a uterus, you can talk to me,

I'm silent as a grave.

Uh— on the other hand,
no details on the birth.

All the girl stuff that's a little weird—
episiotomies, breastfeeding,

I don't want to know all that. Okay?

- Okay.

PEOPLE MINGLING,
MUSIC ON SPEAKERS

GILLES:
I knew he would leave eventually.

He's too big for our little brigade.

- 'Little'? We have
several investigation groups.

- Do you remember
the first time he arrived?

He was, like, lost.

He looked like a
little bird, it was so cute.

- Isn't it time to give him the gift?
- Yes.

- Let's give him the gift.
The gift.

- Well, I guess he told me that-
- (Let's give him the gift.)

DAPHNE: Of course. A gift! Gift!

Here it is.
- You shouldn't have.

- Yeah, anyway...
- Well, thanks.

CELINE: It was Gilles' idea.

- Yeah, anyway, I chose it.
Um, I wanted brass,

but it was out of budget
with what Didier put in the kitty.

So that,

So, there you go, but
it was the best value option-

- No need to go into all the details.
- Yes...

- Yeah...
NERVOUS LAUGH

Ahem. Um... To Cmdr Karadec,

with whom I had the chance— we had
the chance— to work with for 6 years.

And... And then, uh...

To Adam,

with whom I was able to share
6 years of friendship and trust.

- I really miss you too.

DAPHNE: Good health! GIGGLES

TEARFULLY
- I will never forget your smile.

- Me neither, Gilles.

- I think we'll do very
good work together. Really.

- Well, cheers to your first investigation.
- Thanks.

CELINE: You closed the case very quickly.
FRED: It was a collective effort,

you have a great team, really great.

- Yes.

- If for example, Morgane hadn't
taken the suspect's parking space,

I wouldn't have known
that she was from Quebec. So,

in a small way it's
thanks to her I found the culprit.

- Is it going well with Morgane?
- Absolutely, absolutely.

In retrospect, I find that
she's a little all over the place,

in terms of procedure, it's
sometimes a bit 'wow, she's lively!'

But...

Her enthusiasm is surprising.
I can't wait to see what she can bring.

- Oh, well finally!

CELINE:
Yes, she sure is a personality.

FRED: Right, that's it exactly.
She's a personality, right.

CELINE: You're late.
CARON: Yes.

- This is Pierre-Emmanuel Caron,
Judge Caron... my partner.

- Oh, nice to meet you.

- Frédéric Prigent, who
is succeeding Karadec.

CARON: Nice to meet you.

CARON: 'My partner.'
You hesitated a little.

- No, I didn't hesitate.
- A little bit.

- No I didn't.
- No one's sitting down?

Relax a little?
