INSTRUCTOR:
In this first preparation course,

we will learn...

...to breathe...

to relieve the pain of contractions.

Let's get started

Future dad or partner,

take mom's hands in yours.

and we synchronize our respiration.

And we exhale...
THEY EXHALE, DAVID LOUDLY

That's right.

TIMOTHÉE: (Stop exhaling
like that, you'll stress her out.)

DAVID: I'm stressing
her out, seriously?

It's not me who's been talking
about organs lowering the whole time.

MORGANE: Guys, I remind you,

I'm in my fourth pregnancy,

so it's a given that my
organs are well attached, OK?

- Excuse me, you know, I think
there's a little misunderstanding,

I thought you were with madam.

This course is limited to future dads.

- Oh, yeah, no, actually
we don't know who it is...

The dad, I mean. Uh...

There are several runners leading
the pack, if you know what I mean.

And as they're all very motivated
to participate in the course,

well, I admit, it suits me.
- (Okay-)

- True, we have a slight
doubt about paternity,

but there's a 60%
chance that it's me, so-

- Fifty-nine percent.
Don't be overconfident.

I'm 40, that's not nothing.

- You're changing your mind a lot,

it's your baby one day,
you don't want it the next.

Guys, let's relax, may I remind
you that our stats are very artisanal,

for what it's worth.

- I'm not changing my
mind, I'm thinking, OK?

Unlike you, I knew she was pregnant.

- OK, well if I understand
correctly there are two possibilities,

the unknown is also part of
the adventure of childbirth!

- No, three. There are 3 possibilities,

we're waiting on the
last one, he won't be long.

It's weird because
he's rather punctual.

I guess he's lost in the hallways.

MOBILE RINGS
Ah.

Oh! Here he is, CHUCKLES
MOBILE RINGS

Speak of the devil.
MOBILE RINGS

Yeah Kara', where are you?

What? A m*rder online?

WENDY IS ONLINE:
Where are you? What's
happening to you?

SOBBING

Tell us you're okay.
This is fake.

Awful! What's going on?

CAR DOOR CLOSES

IT'S NOT FAKE!
CALL THE POLICE.
WE MUST HELP HER

SOBBING,
FOOTSTEPS

LATCH OPENS

No no no!

HIGH INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL

GILLES:
The video was viewed 200,000 times.
MOSAIC

GILLES:
The video was viewed 200,000 times.

Daphné's trying to have it taken down,
but it keeps being shared.

MORGANE: Yes! It's
fine! I'm here, sorry!

OUT OF BREATH
OK, it's fine, I'm here.

What is it?
- Homicide. Wendy Veron, 41,

resident of Seclin.

Maybe it's better that you wait
for us here, as it's difficult to access.

- Well good morning!
ADAM: Hello, good morning.

- Yeah, so we're going to
calm down right now, huh?

Because for the last time: I'm
not disabled, I'm pregnant, okay?

I can manage very well
without anyone's help.

They're already annoying at
home when I open a pickle jar,

so we can relax.
Let's go, huh?

- As you wish, it's at the end over there.

SIGHS

GRUNTS

- Hold on, hand me that?

- You said 200,000 views in
under an hour? That's huge.

ADAM: Was she known?
- A bit, she was a family influencer,

posting videos of her and
her children on social media.

She geolocated herself by
streaming her call for help.

I had a roadblock put up,

we want to keep the curious away.

Thanks.

Dr Benzaoui says she
was k*lled around noon,

matching the time of the video.

Looks like she was k*lled
by a blow to the head.

We didn't find the m*rder weapon.

- No, don't wait for
me, I'm right behind you!

- Signs of sexual as*ault?
- No, none.

But there were defensive
wounds on the hands.

Like she tried to scratch her attacker.

The lab is taking samples for analysis.
ADAM: Okay.

You said she lives in Secllin?
- Mmm.

- It's an hour's drive.
- Mm-hmm.

If we want to talk to the husband
before the press, we should go.

- Yeah, might as well.

MORGANE: Well, what's the story, huh?

I'll let you finish up?
- Uh-huh.

Tell me when you have the lab
results on the DNA from the nails.

Morgane, with me?

- Uh, yeah, I'm going to
stay here for 5 minutes,

to soak up a little bit of
the crime scene, huh?

You go back to the car, huh?

ADAM: Did you say something?
- Yeah, I'm coming!

SHE'S OUT OF BREATH

ADAM: See you later.
- OK, I'm going back to work.

- Already?
- I think so. Come on.

- Whew. OUT OF BREATH
- Breathe through your nose.

. . .

- ((Ah f*ck. Phew))

MORGANE: What is that?

Hi, Happy Family!
So, I dunno about you,

but we have children who
don't really like eating vegetables,

So my little tip for making children eat

is give them a funny shape.

Carrots... ready!

And here's the result: a tasty,

colorful, and absolutely
delicious pie! Isn't it, kids?

KIDS: Yes!
WENDY: Wooo!

CLÉMENT: I haven't told them yet

but they'll soon be asking
why she isn't coming back.

MESSAGE ALERT

. . .

Sorry. Her Community.

Since the m*rder they've been
harassing me with mesages for a while.

ADAM: I'm sorry about your wife.

Was she an influencer for a long time?

CLÉMENT: It started when
Arthur was born 7 years ago.

She started posting videos

just so our families
could see the children.

More and more people
started following her.

She realized there was an
opportunity in being a full-time mother.

When was the last
time you saw Wendy?

CLÉMENT: This morning.

She left to run an errand,

she had to be there at
10, something like that.

ADAM: And where are
you between 10 and 3?

CLÉMENT: Here at home.

I was laid off at my company last year.

With what Wendy earns it doesn't
make much sense to look elsewhere.

ADAM:
She managed her Community by herself?

WENDY: Today is
an"unboxing day," I'm advising-

CLÉMENT: She didn't expose
the children too much.

ADAM: Were there ever negative impacts

MOBILE RINGS
after things she posted?

- Yeah Afida?
- Yeah,

we had a call from a girl

about your crime scene.
- Yeah?

- Can you put Gilles on?

He doesn't answer my texts.
- No, Gilles isn't here.

- How come he's not with you?

I thought you were together.
- We were together

but now he's headed back.

Afida, go ahead and tell
me what the woman told you.

Well, while walking her dog
she saw a guy running away.

But Gilles suddenly left
on his own? With who?

GILLES: ...Maybe-
- Oh, it's okay, forget it, he's here.

- I don't care, Afida.

Did she give a description?
What did she say?

- And the guy, he- LAUGHS
DAPHNÉ: I'm still-

- It's still not bad!
- No, he did too, like if-

MORGANE: Afida?

- Afida, focus!

What'd she say?

- Brown hair, white sneakers,

navy blue hoodie,
and a dinosaur t-shirt.

We talked for a long time.
- I'll call you back.

Say...

Could you open your hoodie?

SIREN

HE SIGHS

- So?

An aunt is taking the children.

We're taking the father
to the PJ for questioning.

MORGANE: Okay.

- Hi girls, I'm back!

- Have you become a fan?

- Frankly, I don't understand the phenomenon.

The girl has posted her whole
life since her second delivery,

but honestly— who's interested?

'Cause it's nothing to
this girl, we don't care-

"-radec"!

'We don't care-adec'!
LAUGHS

That was a good one, huh?

And uh, otherwise, uh...

...about the childbirth. Um...

this morning's class wasn't bad.

Well, I'm experienced, it's
not my first barbecue, huh?

But Timothée and David, who were there,
- Mm-hmm.

- well, they found the
course really interesting.

Yes, as I was saying,
- Mm-hmm.

- I thought, maybe, eventually,
you'd like to come to a class.

Because, mind you, there's
one tomorrow morning.

or, if it suits you,
there's one on Thursday.

- Um, sorry Morgane, but

I'm not sure I understand
what you expect from me here.

- Well, nothing.

I don't expect anything, I wanted

to communicate information, that's all,

to do with what you want.

- Timothée and David are
both up for raising children?

You said it yourself, there's
not even a 1-in-60 chance

that it's mine.
- Yes.

- Right?
- Yes!

- Well, in view of the circumstances,

I- I- I- think it's best, uh,

the best is,

to wait for the birth, and then

if by chance it turns out that it is me,

the father, uh, we'll see!

It's reasonable, isn't it?
- Yes yes yes, obviously, uh...

Yes, obviously, sure.

- Fine.
- You're angry.

- Fine. Yes- no.
- You're angry.

No, I- I- I- I- I- I-
- I'm not asking anything.

- I- later...
- I didn't expect anything, there was...

- No, I understand, I understand, I...

- Hold on. f*ck, it's the same.
- 'The same' what?

MORGANE: It's the same car!

It appears in many of
Wendy's stories, it followed her.

Oh f*ck! Stop him, stop him!

YOU, STOP! HEY!

- Hey hey HEY HEY! POLICE! "STOP"!

DON'T MOVE!

- STOP!

MORGANE: "Stop! Stop!"

Turn off the vehicle!

KNOCKING
- Hey, open!

RUMINATES

I have a question to ask
you about Wendy Veron.

I imagine you can guess.

- Not at all.

- Are you joking?

You park in front of her house, you
have your hair done exactly like hers,

and, incidentally,

we found this in your car.

You're a fan of hers?

I'm a huge... fan

Amandine Bernard, media
creator of Happy Family Scoops,

as well as Community Manager of the
"fan page"— "Wendy Lovers."

ADAM: All right.

Why does a Community
Manager hide in her car

and spy on investigating officers?

- Well, I just wanted to make sure that

that you were doing
your work correctly.

- Is that all?

- You know, Wendy was very
important to a lot of people,

and there are many of us
who want Clément to be, ah-

arrested quickly.

- This is crazy.

I've never set foot
in that cement plant.

So how do you explain
that your clothes match those

of an individual seen at the
crime scene? We have a witness.

- I don't know, it must be another
invention of that crazy woman.

That woman is completely paranoid!

She's convinced I'm
violent and wanted a divorce.

- You're not satisfied with
monitoring the investigation,

you're trying to influence it.

You liked a video of
Wendy's this morning.

This what her husband was
wearing, do you recognize it?

You called us using a false
name and described him to us.

- Okay, well I embroidered a little, but...

I had no choice, I had
to put you on his trail.

He's the one who k*lled her.

- Can you prove what you're saying?

- She's been telling her
Community for months— uh, look...

In March, she posted this photo

with this comment:
"Life is short, enjoy it."

SCOFFS
Isn't it clear?

Then, the day of their
wedding anniversary,

she posted a message that
she deleted 3 minutes later.

She wrote: 'Sometimes
it's those you love the most

who hurt you the most.'

And then 2 weeks later: 'I'm
signing up for a self-defense course.'

She feared for her life.

- But I'm the one who told
her to sign up for the thing!

I was worried for her because of
crazy girl was following her everywhere.

I didn't harass her, I protected her!

I thought it would be a
mistake to file a complaint.

I knew it would end
up going badly. I swear!

- I did everything to save
her, and then in the end

and in the end he still k*lled her.

You have to believe me.
RESIGNED SCOFF

The two suspects accuse each other.

On the subject of fan harassment,

the husband's telling the truth, huh?

The victim filed a complaint
against her 6 months ago,

for rummaging through her trash.

GILLES: On the couple's problems, there
are elements. I have several witnesses

who confided to
me that there were

tensions between
Wendy and her husband

YOUR BETS! WHO IS THE
FATHER OF MORGANE'S BABY?

ever since he got fired and he
became financially dependent on her.

- Yeah. So obviously both
accusations are credible.

What are you doing, Daphné?

- I- uh, uh, Didier owed me money,

I was putting it away.

CELINE: Hmm.

Oooh!

'Timothée'?

'David.'

'Timothée.'

You're taking bets on the identity
of the father of Morgane's baby?

In my DIPJ? Behind my back?

- No, not at all.

Not at all, at all - at all - at all.

We're organizing a small
collection for- for a birth gift.

And, well there is a
small pool— yes, tiny—

—but which has nothing
to do with it, at all.

(Huh.)

- Gilles?
- Yes?

- (Would you happen to have-)
- (Uh...)

Yes...

...
- (Oh, that's- mmm?)

Tell you what: 35 euros on Timothée.

QUIETLY
I'll join in. Not for leadership, but

because I'm sure it's him. LAUGHS
- Oh, yeah—?

—well yeah. Oh, Commander!

You want to bet too?

- Bet on what?

- Uh, well, on the father
of Morgane's baby.

Right now the votes are 3 for David
and 78 for high-voltage Jerome,

but in my opinion that's just
Marine being funny, because...

- Even if...
- No, we don't know whose that is.

- No thank you.

I'd like to look closer at the two
suspects, to get a clearer view.

Can we discuss it in your office?
- Of course.

- You take care of the husband's report

and I take care of the wife's report?
- Yeah, deal.

- Cool.
DAPHNÉ: And, Gilles?

Don't forget to bet!

HE LAUGHS
- I'm going to wait,

I need to get my money back from her.
- Oh, yeah.

GILLES LAUGHING

TIMOTHÉE: It needs a cover,
otherwise he can get into it!

DAVID: It's all right, I've got it.
- Household accidents are the

leading cause of death
among children under 3!

I don't want my son
getting electrocuted because

some guy was too lazy to do
a quarter-turn with a plastic rod!

- Your son might
be stupid, my son

won't put his hands
in the sockets!

- My son will be stupid?
- Yeah!

- My son stupid— are you sick or what?

What do you mean? My son
will write books, he'll be brilliant,

the smartest in the world,

your son will be, will be- a big idiot!

- Are you serious?
- Yeah, yeah, I- I'm serious!

DAVID ARGUING, MUFFLED

TIMOTHÉE: You don't have kids.

DAVID: How are you
such a pro at fatherhood?

DAVID:
Say... I heard you were a virgin

before going to bed with Morgane.
TIMOTHÉE: What? Who told you that?

WENDY:
Hi Community! Lots of you wrote me

because in a post yesterday
I scratched my head.

I assure you, don't worry,
there's no problem.

But, in case of an attack of lice,

I remind you of my great natural
control method based on coconut oil.

I'll give you a promo code—

—"hurry up," it's good
for 24 hours. Bye-bye!

MUFFLED
DAVID: It's fine-

TIMOTHÉE: Let go, let me-
DAVID: It doesn't matter!

TIMOTHÉE:
'Doesn't matter'? I repaired...

INAUDIBLE
...the dishwasher, so let me-

- Now you're having fun torturing me, huh?

But he who coos last coos best,

'cause I have my eye on you!
PIGEON COOS

TIMOTHÉE: Leave it!

Leave it! Let me!

- Those "baby daddies" are annoying!

- Four more weeks
before they find out.

- Uh mmm—

—there may be a way
to find out more quickly.

- How's that?

- Don't yell at me, okay?

I did the DNA swab test in Belgium.

The results arrived this morning.

- With what money?

- What with your life these days,
I got donations from our 3 squatters.

- Someone used my card or
something, I'm overdrawn by €1,000.

- Wasn't me, sorry.

Maybe it was Eliott and his porn.

- (Oooh, f*ck-) ELIOTT! I'LL GET YOU!

(I didn't open it.)

AFIDA, DISTANT: You wanna do
adult stuff, use your mother's card!

f*ck, open the door!

SIGHS

TIMOTHÉE: Stop being macho,

Stop being macho and sexist, coward!

PIGEON COOS

What now?

. . .

Yes, I'll open it.

sh*t. When I want to.

TEXT ALERT
TIMOTHÉE: She told me that the baby...

Stop saying that!
DAVID: It's fine, it's fine.

A LITTLE SELFIE
WITH HER 3 DAYS
AGO, SO SAD.

- Yes.
- No.

- Yes!

- Go make a photocopy,
it takes 10 minutes.

- I think she can't stand him.
- Well exactly, Gilles! Exactly!

- f*ck! Oh, the idiot.

- She's very pretty, don't you think?
- Who's that?

- Daphné. You haven't noticed?

Oh yeah, yeah, super
cute, too beautiful,

but I don't really know
my type of woman.

Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

- You think she's beautiful
but don't consider her?

No, she's my colleague, so I can't pay
too much attention to her appearance,

but then it's true that she's
smart, funny, loyal, and even

quite original-
- Okay, I get it.

- Okay, heh.
- Hmm.

- You respect her too
much to be with her.

- Definitely- no, wait...
- Yeah...

SHE LAUGHS
- ...we work together- HE YELPS

- MENACINGNever talk to her again.
- Huh?

- You choose: it's her, or it's me.

HE GASPS, BABBLES

LANDLINE RINGS
DAPHNÉ: Forestier!

WIMPERS

Online content?

Uh, I don't know— who
is it? Eh... excuse me?

It's Wendy's web host,

he's asking if he should delete the video
that's creating a buzz about the case.

- What video?

- I don't know. What video?

What?

Uh, I'll call you back.

This is it.

- Hi, Happy Family!

I don't know about you,
but I've been really pissed off

since Wendy and her
stories disappeared.

So, to find out quickly
who bumped her off,

I suggest we share together
our last memories of Wendy,

under the hashtag #WhoKilledWendy.

Okay? Selfies, candid
photos, anecdotes of all kinds—

—I'll. Take. Everytning!

But— caution!

Caution, Community!
Be sure not to forget in the comments

to note the date, and the location.

I'm counting on you!
Gotta go! "Love love, kiss kiss!"

- What the hell is she doing?
MORGANE: Hey. It's going well, huh?

LAUGHS

- Morgane, what've you done now?
- Well- what did I do?

I'm gleaning information, that's what I do.

Our victim is monitored
24/7 by her Community, she

can't walk 3 meters down the
street without being asked for a selfie,

so I asked them for help.

- You made a
call for witnesses
without permission.

- Yes, well sorry,
but it worked out,

because in less than 12
hours I got 863 responses.

So— 99 percent of them

are selfies taken in
places she visited regularly,

like the supermarket
at the end of the street

where she bought
her organic vegetables.

Yes, only the best for her children.

Or like at
SCHOOL BELL

Or like at
her kids' Montessori school,

where Madam is a 'parent
representative.' Please.

The kids look so smart,
they look like fakes. LAUGHS

Or like—

at the beauty institute,

—where Madam is
expected once a week

to do her nails.

In the remaining 1% there are
yet more interesting things, notably—

—four photos that were taken
in Tourcoing town center,

an hour's travel from her home.

ADAM: Tourcoing town center?

That's not far from
where her body was found.

- Exactly! So I dug a little,

and I noticed that all the photos

were taken next to a tower.

And the tower is called:

Tourcoing Plaza!

DAPHNÉ: It's an office tower,

quite a few companies are based
there, small to medium-sized.

You've got a communications agency,

a law firm specializing in divorce law-

- Oh, well there it is!

Our stalker was right,
she wanted a divorce.

Yeah, I'm busy with 8 kilos in the belly.

Anyone have something
to nibble on, like a granola bar?

Chips? Candy?
GILLES & DAPHNÉ: No.

FED UP SIGH

Well, the office doesn't
answer and goes to voicemail,

looks like we're going there.
Morgane, with me?

- What, now? But-
- Yeah, right now.

You're not on vacation.

Hello.

MORGANE OUT OF BREATH

Are you all right? You look out of breath.
- No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's you, I don't know why
you're walking so fast today.

Decide to work off your
love handles or something?

- I'll slow down if you want.
- You watch it!

You're always slowing me
down, talking to me like that.

OK, here it is, Monier & Associates
office, 6th floor, "go," come on-

OUT OF SERVICE

Oh sh*t.

EXASPERATED SIGH

OUT OF BREATH
Oh. Yeah.

. . .

Know what?

I don't believe in this lead anymore.
. . .

You go up without me.

- I'll keep you informed
- That's how we'll do it.

. . .
Oh jeez.

Oof.

STOMACH GURGLES,
SHE SIGHS

STOMACH GURGLES

Oh no.

Oh jeez.

MOBILE RINGS

Yeah, hello?
- Yeah, Morgane?

I'm- are you coming?
We'll be late for the appointment.
- Huh? What appointment?

- Well, the lactation
consultant. Do you need help?

Want me to come get you?
- Oh no,

my breastfeeding thing.

Uh... No, listen, it's all right,
it's not going to be possible

because I... I'm super busy
at work, I'm in Tourcoing.

- What? Wait, wait, it's in 20 minutes.

- Yeah, well, what do
you want me to tell you?

Karadec has had me running
all over the place since this morning,

only we didn't even
have time to eat, you see.

- You're joking! I hope he-
he- he knows you're pregnant or-

- He doesn't seem to care!
He'll be here soon,

he gave me a hissy
fit about my schedule,

if- if- if I want to go pee I have
to make a request in triplicate.

Anyway, you see it's- it's- not possible.

Oh jeez, that's it- (f*ck!) he
saw me making a personal call,

I've gotta let you go.

There!

- €14.10. And your "badge," please.

- Uh, yeah... I forgot it at home.

Can I give it to your tomorrow?
- You can't eat here without a "badge."

It's reserved for employees
of the building and their guests.

- Seriously?
Wait, in the condition I'm in?

- You need a card, it's...

- Great! Really good spirit!
No assistance for a person in danger!

Well done! Hello France!

Oh! Great! Perfect!

Hello, I'll have a coffee. Can you give
me a dozen Speculoos? ((Thank you!))

ALMA: Hold on, you need a token.

You have to pay for your coffee

at the cash register to get one.
DEFEATED SIGH

Free!

- So nice, really. Thank you
from the bottom of my heart.

MAN1: Have a good "weekend"?
MAN2: Yes INAUDIBLE I love it.

MAN3: Did you get it?
WOMAN: No, still haven't gotten it.

MAN4: Martial! This afternoon
we need you on the desk at 2.

FROM THE PEER OF MARTIAL

- Oh, there you are.

No one in the office
recognizes Wendy. I'd say

we came for nothing.
- She didn't come to get a divorce,

I figure she came to eat at the canteen.

Look at the tokens.

I found one at the crime
scene, they're coffee tokens.

- The victim traveled
an hour to have lunch here?

Why?

- Not for the quality of
the salami, in my opinion.

No, the question isn't why she came to eat here, but with whom.

Let's go, come on, Kara'.
Come on!

Hey, Martial!

So?

You liked it Wendy, huh? Huh?
- Huh?

Yeah, well not that
much, since you k*lled her.

You'll see!

- Cmdr Karadec, Judicial Police.

Can you explain to me what
my colleague is talking about?

- I- I don't know.
- Huh! Oh, this guy, eh?

The bracelet you gave
her— you know,

—the one with three
little green stones here.

In the box there was a
note signed 'Martial,' idiot!

It was him that she came
to have lunch with at noon.

STAGE WHISPER
In my opinion, they slept together, okay?

When she told him that
she hadn't left her husband

for him, he rubbed
her out, it's a classic.

You take him to the station, I'll
finish this tray so as not to waste it.

- I wasn't sleeping with Wendy,
she was just my manager.

- Your manager?
- Yes, for my modeling career.

I do marketing in the building,

One noontime, she approached
me during a cigarette break,

a case of being spotted while passing
by, she thought I had something.

- Some 'thing'?

Again, what 'thing'?

- I don't kn- know.
A style.

- Oh yeah?

- And with an influencer of her type,
she had quite a few connections,

so she offered to help
me break into fashion.

At our lunches she tried
to sign me up for auditions,

the bracelet was just to thank her.

I'm not used to someone going
to such great lengths for me.

Is she really dead?

- Well yeah, otherwise
we wouldn't be here.

- Can you prove what you're saying?

- Uh... yes.

WENDY: Smile, and speak slowly.

- Hi! My name's Martial,
I'm 22, 5 foot 11, 143 lbs.

I'm from Terrenoire,
I spent part of my childhood in a home,

It wasn't easy, but
it made me stronger.

WENDY: Great! You're going to-

- I found the video the suspect was
talking about on the victim's cloud,

he's telling the truth. Wendy
helped find him auditions.

- Okay, was she a good manager?
- On that we can't be sure. Gilles?

- Uh, I called... all the...

I called all the modeling agencies

where Wendy had contacts.

And, uh...

And, uh...

- 'And'?

- Uh... and they never
heard of her or Martial.

- Okay, she lied to him. Why?
MORGANE: Because she was scamming him!

She dangled fake auditions for money,

and when he found out,
SNAPS FINGERS

he whacked her! Let's go,
SNAPS FINGERS

he whacked her! Let's go,
case closed, "move on"!

- Morgane, stop for 2 seconds,
let's not jump to conclusions.

- Especially since we never found a
trace of financial exchanges between them,

so it's not him, huh? Gilles?

- Look at my coffee.
CHUCKLES

- Gilles?

- Oh yeah, I checked the bank accounts,

he received no transfers or deposits

MORGANE: Okay,
- Okay.

MORGANE: Okay,
what does that mean?

It means she was paid in kind!
The guy was her lover,

and her victim, as I've been saying.

- Gilles!
- Hmm?

- Gilles!
(What the hell are you doing!)

- I'm drinking very good coffee.

DAPHNÉ: I have an email from the lab

about the cells found
under the victim's fingernails.

They haven't finished the analysis, but

apparently some of the DNA
contains 'excess genetic material.'

They have to run checks.
- 'Excess'?

What does that mean?

- 'A third chromosome 21 on
certain cells.' Isn't that weird?

- Your parents will arrive soon.

Do you want something to drink?
- No, thank you.

- Look, here they are.
Thank you, Daphné.

YANNIS: Alma, how are you?

Are you okay, honey?
ADAM: Hello, madam. Cmdr Karadec.

- What's going on? Did
something happen to her?

- No, don't worry, don't
worry, everything's fine.

We just need to ask
Alma a few questions,

but I'd prefer you
were present, so...

Please, have a seat.
YANNIS: (Okay.)

What are the questions about?

ADAM:
Regarding an ongoing investigation.

Alma, do you recognize this person?

- Yes, she has lunch in
the cafeteria twice a week.

She always has a strong
black coffee, no sugar.

I'm the one who makes them.

- And you only see her
in the cafeteria by herself?

(Okay.)

Did she come yesterday?

- No, I don't think so, why?
ADAM: You're sure?

Did she have any disputes?

- Well, no. She was with a client.

- Wait, I don't really understand
why you're asking her this.

- This woman was m*rder*d, and

she was a regular at the canteen
where your daughter works.

- Okay. And?

She can't tell you anything,

hundreds of people eat
there every lunchtime,

are you questioning all of them too?
- No.

But DNA was taken from
under the victim's fingernails,

According to initial analyses, there's
excess DNA with a third chromosome 21.

- Are you joking? You suspect
her because of her Down syndrome?

- No, at this stage of the investigation
we're not drawing any conclusions at all.

But would you allow Alma to
submit a sample for genetic analysis,

so that we can make a comparison?

- I didn't do anything
to this lady, I swear.

- We know, honey.
- Of course you didn't do anything.

- Aren't you ashamed?
- No one's accusing Alma of anything.

But, the coincidence is
strong, so I have to insist.

- Insist all you want, you're
not touching our daughter.

- Coming, honey? Let's go.
- Very well.

- It's over, we're going home.

- We'll see you out.

Goodbye Alma. Goodbye.

Employees at the
cafeteria I spoke to confirm

that Wendy only got
her coffee from Alma.

Alma doesn't have a license,

I don't see her moving
the body to the crime scene.

- Mm-hmm.
- Can you insist on the DNA testing?

- I don't know, we're already
at the limit in terms of procedure.

Ask the lab to please finish
its analysis as soon as possible.

They must be sure
they didn't make a mistake.

- Mmm.s

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight!

CAR DOOR CLOSES

- ((You have to talk to him.))

((Talk to him like that.
I want-))

- Good evening Brigadier,
if you're looking for Morgane-

- It's Captain now, actually. And...

Morgane went home to rest.
It's you I came to see.

- Very well, I'm listening.

- Ahem. Well, I don't know if you even
realize, Morgane is 8 months pregnant.

- Mmm.

So if you continue like this, you'll
make her have a premature birth.

Or worse.
- Premature? What are you talking about?

- I'm talking about the heavy workload

you've been imposing
on her for the last 2 days.

Forcing her to work overtime,
depriveing her of a lunch break.

I told her to take sick leave to
rest, but she's scared of getting fired.

She's on the verge of burnout
because of you! ((Excuse me.))

- On the verge of burnout,
OK, because of me.

No, because she insists.
DERISIVE LAUGH

- You don't even notice. That's the worst.

Listen, we all get that you don't
want to be the father of this baby.

And given your chances,
we don't blame you.

but this child not being yours doesn't
mean this pregnancy doesn't exist.

Listen, if you won't take responsibility

as a father, maybe you could
be a proper manager.

Is that clear?

- Very clear.

Thank you, Brigadier.

- ((Captain.))

- Today we will see how the ball
can relieve the pain of contractions.

So, we will start with Exercise 6-
DOOR OPENS LOUDLY

- Apologies. Pardon, I'm sorry.

INSTRUCTOR:
No worries, get settled quickly.

- Ma'am, he has his shoes.
- I'll let you take them off. There.

So as I was saying, we will
start with an exercise which

is a duo exercise, unfortunately.
Those who are...

more numerous can alternate, of course.

- Okay, I'll start.
INSTRUCTOR: So...

- Why do you start?

- I don't know, maybe because
I was on time, unlike you.

INSTRUCTOR:
...we relax. And we will begin.

Well, who-

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

The third dad, I'm guessing?
- Yes.

- Hello. Hello Morgane.
INSTRUCTOR: Great.

- Hello.
- We're an even number! What we'll do

is that, since you missed the first
lessons, I'll put you with the mother-

- Yes?
- ...and you can switch out.

Come on, let's quickly get
into position with the ball.

INSTRUCTOR:
So! As I was telling you,

the mother is
firmly sitting on the ball,

and his partner will come and
put his arms behind. Like so.

Good, under her arms, behind. And-

Hands a little higher. A little more.

Here, a little higher.
There you go.

And then you will be
able to stretch the spine.

Stretch...

Yes, good.
- Ooh...

- You close your eyes...
- Oooh, yeah...

- And try to breathe together.

Yeah, good.

You are there for each
other, no matter what.

- ((It's all right, I'm not touching you.))

EXHALES, SIGHS
- (Yeah...)

- Oh yeah...

- f*ck, what're you doing?
- Sorry.

- Don't touch my a*s!
- Fine, I won't! relax your pelvis.

It would be really nice if future dads

would stop arguing
on the big day, because

the mother will need peace and serenity,

as well as hospital staff.

- No, he's the one
getting on my nerves!

- Oh jeez!
- What's going on, having contractions?

- What's wrong?
- Oh! No no no, everything's fine!

Karadec, we completely
messed up with little Alma.

She's not the culprit.
She's actually the motive.

Look—

—here... (this is it here. Here.)

WENDY: because in a post yesterday
I scratched my head.

- The woman scratched herself.
- So?

- 'So,' the cells that we
found under her nails

aren't Alma's, they're hers!
It's her own DNA!

- The lab's finding is that
she has Down syndrome?

- Exactly, that's what's crazy, look!

- Until tomorrow, bye-bye!

- There. Wait, I'll zoom in.

See her palm?

She has a unique palm
crease. It's super-rare!

99% of people have
2 lines. Look at your hand.

There you go: 2 lines, 2 lines.

You? Two lines, 2 lines.

Except in people with Down syndrome,

where it is over-represented—
—see where I'm going with this?

- Wendy carries the Down syndrome trisomy?

- Yes, but not just any: Mosaic trisomy.

- What's that?

"And now, ladies and gentlemen,

directly from Vegas,

the Chromosome Show!"

A thunderous round of applause
for our 23 pairs of chromosomes!

They came, they're all here, all 46!

I didn't want to present
all of them, obviously, but:

there is still the
pair of sex chromosomes!

XX or XY.

This pair, number 19,
is responsible for eye color.

And this one, pair number 16,

my favorite, is the
one with the 'red gene'!

They are what interests
us, especially here tonight.

They are the smallest and most shy:

Pair number 21!

Because it is on this pair— sometimes—

—on which is grafted the extra chromosome.

And it is this extra chromosome

that is responsible for Down syndrome.

♪ In 99% of cases, ♪

♪ it grafts itself onto- ♪
all the cells of the body!

♪ Yes, but sometimes what happens is ♪

♪ that it only grafts onto- ♪
part of the body's cells!

♪ So it creates many more trisomies ♪

to the point where you
can miss out on your whole life!

♪ If you want my opinion, ♪

♪ that's what happened to Wendy. ♪

So Wendy was a
carrier without knowing it,

in only some of her DNA?

- Exactly!

- But what, her interaction with
Alma was pure coincidence?

- No, not at all! No, actually,
parents with mosaic trisomy

are more likely to have
children who are also carriers—

♪ And if you want my opinion, ♪

♪ it's not Martial that interested Wendy ♪

♪ when she went to the Tourcoing Plaza... ♪

♪ It was to get closer to Alma. ♪

♪ Because yes, I finally got it... ♪

♪ Alma was her secret baby ♪

- ♪ Secret baby! ♪

♪ Oh, her secret baby! ♪
♪ - Secret baby! ♪

- Wendy and I were 25.
We both wanted to have a family.

She easily got pregnant,
the pregnancy was normal,

we were never informed of any problems.

When Alma was born
you discovered her disability.

- At first I saw nothing.

But Wendy, she sensed it right away.

She couldn't even hold her.
I don't know; it was visceral.

Trimsomy, no trisomy,
she was my daughter.

That's what split us up.

So I recognized Alma on my own,

when I married Sophie
2 years later she adopted her.

- And Alma doesn't know her
biological mother abandoned her?

- No. No, I...

I knew she was going to be
rejected by a lot of people in her life,

I didn't want her to know
her mother was one of them.

- And you never saw your
ex-girlfriend again after that?

- Almost never, no.

Actually yes, she contacted
me about a year ago.

We met in a cafe, and she said that

abandoning Alma had been
the biggest mistake of her life,

she thought about her every
day, she wanted to see her again.

She even wrote her a
letter asking for forgiveness,

offered a fashion internship.

- I imagine you refused
to let her get back in touch.

- Obviously I refused.
Alma already has a mother.

What good would
Wendy's remorse give her?

I gave back her letter,
I, I told her to go back to

her perfect little life and forget us.

That's the last time I saw her.

- Sorry for what you
went through, Mr Langlais.

But it makes your case worse.

This video was recorded at Tourcoing
Plaza two hours before the m*rder.

You took Wendy by surprise that day.
- What? No-

- When you realized she might
reveal your secret, you decided to act.

- Not at all, not at all!
- Stop taking me for a fool,

was that you in the video or not?
- Yes, it's me. But it wasn't Wendy.

- How so?
- That day I thought I saw her

when I went to see Alma.
I ran after her, to tell her

to leave us alone.
But it wasn't her.

It was just a girl
who looked like her.

- 'A girl who looked like her'?
- Yes!

It was the same haircut,
I get so little sleep, I messed up.

- This woman. Was it her?

- Yeah, it was her.

- Amandine really took us for a ride.

Not only did she follow
Wendy to Tourcoing Plaza,

she was there on
the day of her death.

I'm watching her place
while waiting for a warrant.

CELINE: Okay, good luck.
Want me to send someone to relieve you?

- No, it's fine.

I'm in charming company.
- Very well.

Did you know in Belgium
they can actually do

certain analyses that
cannot be done in France?

And it's true that, uh, I suddenly... No!

Well, I say 'I',
but it's Thea who did it.

A huge mistake, I agree!

- Sorry?

- Oh f*ck, the idiot, she messed up.

- Oh, well here you are!

Good, you're going to tell me if I'm wrong.

Wendy's letter that you found,
do we agree it was ambiguous?

I'm moving you a little because
you're right in front of my board.

She apologizes for
the abandonment- there!

On the other hand,
she doesn't give a first name.

So now we don't know who
this famous letter is addressed to.

FINALLY REUNITED!

On the other hand, we still
learned something major:

Wendy has a secret child. Ha ha!

I AM YOUR MOTHER

Here, take these please.
There. Thanks.

Excuse me, I'm sitting down for
two minutes, (I can't take it anymore).

Whew!

I imagine once you got this info you
must've been completely overexcited.

You follow her for 2 days and nights,

and that's how you find out
where she regularly goes:

To Tourcoing Plaza, to have lunch—
secretly, if you please— with Martial.

You put two and two together:

Martial is Wendy's secret child.

- And then you decide
to lend a helping hand

and reveal to Martial
that Wendy is his mother.

And where the mix-up
should've fallen apart quite quickly

is that Martial grew
up in a foster home.

- ...I spent part of my childhood in a home.

It wasn't easy, but
it made me stronger.

And what does Martial say?
'Wendy is obviously my mom,

otherwise why would she
be so interested in me, huh?'

And what does he do?
He offers her a bracelet.

But wait, he does things right.

Because he doesn't choose just any date.

He offers her the bracelet on:

The 26th of May.

Well, guys? May 26?

MOTHER'S DAY!
SHE LAUGHS

Except that contrary to what Martial hoped,

Wendy didn't fall into his arms.

Well, no.

When she understood the mix-up,
she was obliged to tell him the truth.

That is to say, that she
had used him for access to Alma.

Yeah. So, obviously, the poor guy,

when he realized she
didn't give a damn about him—

—well that's where:

- Answer me, are you
my mother or not?

f*ck! Answer me!

You used me!

- All right! Yes! Yes, I used you!

I don't give a damn about you, OK?

This was all for Alma!
Now get lost!

- Don't you move!

AMANDINE:
I just wanted to do what was right.

Always, just to do what was right.

A beautiful mess. Hmm.
