"More to your right." "To your right, Grandma!" "More." "More to your right." "Yes." "Look at me." "OK." "Great." "OK." "Perfect!" "Oh!" "Stop it." "You just can't help yourself?" "Let me show you." "I don't understand why you want to take the pictures here." " Ruins are beautiful." " Thanks." "The photos are beautiful." "Alice?" "ORIGINS" ""Son of the Moon"" "It's amazing he survived." "Saved just in time yesterday by this Parisian, a photography student, and her grandma, a hairdresser." "They came to check on him." " He's got to be in bad shape." " Not how you think." "A burn victim?" "The doctors say it's been about ten years." "Who is he?" "No ID." "His hands were burned too." "No usable fingerprints." "He's amnesic." "Sir?" "Sir?" "Please turn the music off." "It's OK." "I am Captain du Plessis." "We saw each other earlier." "Do you remember?" "This is Margot Laurent." "She's a genealogist." "She might be able to help." "Could you repeat what you told me?" "Do you know who you are?" "I'm a murderer." "Who did you kill?" "Do you know your date of birth?" "I can only remember one date:" "October 13, 1773." "October 13, 1773." "Do you know what it means?" "I think that's when I died." "October 13, 1773." "He tried hanging himself on October 13." "Yes, disturbing." "I've seen lots of disturbing dates in genealogy." "Do you really think he killed someone?" "He's not crazy?" "No." "I had two experts assess him." "What if he's acting?" "He has a retrograde and anterograde amnesia." "No memories from the past and he forgets the present." "How quickly does he forget?" "From one day to the next." "Textbook case." "And a big problem for us." "How will we question him, if John Doe's brain is like a sieve?" "We have the gear to record him, let's use it." "He'll watch himself from the day before." "And the searches on his supposed victim?" "We're inquiring about all current murder cases." "John Doe can't go unnoticed." "The hospitals working on burn victims said no patients match." " Anything else?" "Come." "October 13, 1773," "Château de la Motte Condé." ""Death of our John Doe."" "What the heck?" " It's all we have." " Where's Margot?" ""Magdeleine de la Motte Condé," ""died October 13, 1773."" "Marcel Garonne buried here, died October 13, 1963" "My father committed suicide after my mother died." "She died in the fire that destroyed the castle." "Yes." "The castle where the man hung himself." "My father bought it after the war." "When was this fire?" "September 29, 1963." "I was 12." "My father managed to pull me from the flames." "He wasn't able to save my mother, so he killed himself." "I had never been back to the castle." "Until yesterday?" "Yes." "It's been 50 years." "If it wasn't for my granddaughter, I wouldn't have gone back." "It's a good thing you were there." " Otherwise he'd be dead." " Yes." "A good thing." "Did you find out who I killed?" "Why do you think you committed a crime?" "I've the same images in my mind, over and over." "I see a woman, but I can't see her face." "She has something red around her neck." " She's hurt?" " I don't know." "I think so, because I see blood on my hands." "Can you see what's around you?" "No." "Just the clouds in the sky." "The music never stops!" "It's like a song... like a breath." " You must help me!" " Yes." "Are you du Plessis?" "Yes." "I'm afraid I'll forget." "It says I tried to kill myself." " When?" " Yesterday morning." "You hung yourself at the Château de la Motte Condé." "I don't remember." "Why did I do that?" "My name is..." "Yes?" "Yes?" "My name is..." "No one replies." " My name is..." " Tell me." "My name is..." "My name is..." "My name is..." "My name is..." "Here, Arthur." "It's set up." "Thanks." " Want one?" " No, thanks." "Garonne Family" "October 13, 2013, John Doe tries to hang himself." "October 13, '63, Marcel Garonne, Nathalie's dad, hangs himself." "John Doe is from the Garonne family?" "No." "I checked the family tree, no one matches our John Doe." "What are you thinking?" "Maybe the connection between them, isn't familial." "It might be the castle." "Hang on!" "Marcel Garonne hangs himself in 1963," "John Doe, yesterday morning." "It's a curse?" "I'm not done." "October 13, 1773, the day we think John Doe died, is also the day that... this woman died." ""Magdeleine de la Motte Condé." Also connected to the castle?" " Know who she was?" " Astrid is searching." "I forgot to tell you something about the music John Doe mentioned." "Nathalie talked about her childhood." "She remembers an organ in the castle's chapel." "We're onto something." "We got a fax from Nathalie Garonne." "The castle's inventory when she sold it in '72." "Let me see." "An organ." "An organ made by Renouvot." " Should I dig?" " Yes." "RENOUVOT AIR CONDITIONING" "Maybe you can help me." "I'm looking for Albert Renouvot, organ maker." "Albert is my father." "He lives next door." "This is his workshop, it was his father's too." "I'm Sebastien Renouvot." " Margot Laurent." " Nice to meet you." "I'm looking for information on an organ." "That's great." "My father loves talking about his work." "Here we go." " Take a seat." " Thanks." "Look at this." "The organ was made to measure in the Motte Condé castle's chapel, by my great-great-great... great-grandfather." " It's beautiful." " Yes." "That's after the fire of 1963?" "And drenched by the firemen!" "It stayed there 10 years." "It took me months to restore." "Then the municipality had it put in La Motte Church." "The one in the picture?" "Yes." "Here." "And that's... my wife," "Elisabeth." "She played... this organ for 2 years, before getting sick." "It's as if the organ were cursed." "It had already been restored before the 1963 fire." " Really?" " Yes." "I have the documents here." "Here we go." ""1773." ""Organ damaged by axe blows."" " Axe blows?" " Yes." "It was destroyed by the owner on October 13, 1773, precisely." "You asked me to get info on Magdeleine Condé." "The organ was her husband's, Gauthier de la Motte Condé, the castle's lord and organist." "October 13, 1773, Magdeleine died and so did the baby." "Gauthier went crazy, axed the organ, and swore he'd never play again." "He killed himself shortly after." "Don't tell me he hung himself." "A lord would never hang himself." "They shoot their brains out." "He did it in the library." "Like our John Doe, and Nathalie Garonne's father." "How did you get so much information?" "The grace of God, and the laws in force in 1773." "Gauthier de la Motte Condé killed himself." "It was all recorded." "Posthumous trial." "What's a posthumous trial?" "Until the fall of the Ancien Régime, dead people could be tried in court." "Suicide was a homicide against oneself." "Like Gauthier?" "When his wife died, he committed suicide." "His corpse was tried." "They kept his body during the trial." "Gauthier was found guilty." "His assets were seized and his body was punished." "They dragged it around town then strung it up." "There is obviously a link between the castle's organ and our John Doe." " They were victims of a fire." " Well done!" "And?" "The organ was destroyed in 1773, which is when our John Doe died." "Precisely." "You know who he is." "A theory for now." "John Doe... equals..." "Michel Lagarde." "Who is Michel Lagarde?" "An organist." "After the fire, the organ was taken to the castle." "Michel Lagarde was the owner." "He was supposed to give a concert on the organ on March 27, 1999, but he did not." "Drop the suspense." "Because he killed his wife shortly before." ""Michel Lagarde slit the throat of Mathilde on March 24, 1999," ""before disappearing." "He convicted in absentia."" "Identified thanks to an organ." "Can the family confirm his identity?" "He has a son, François." "In 1999, he was too young to remember." "There's his mother, Lucie." "Margot is with her." "Is that your grandson playing?" "Yes." "He's only here for the vacation." "He's a student at the Paris music conservatory." "You must be proud." "François doesn't know his father's past." "I told him his parents died in an accident." "Don't tell him his dad killed his mom." "Of course." "I understand." " But..." " No." "I don't want to see him." "You think it's Michel, but... if I understand... he's not the same." "So even if he's my son," "I'm not sure I'd recognize him." "Or want to." " I want to see him." " François." "I know, Grandma." "I've known what he did for years now." "I'm sorry, Grandma." "I didn't want... you to know that I knew, you see?" "I know you meant well." "But this man... if he's really my dad..." "Your name is Michel Lagarde." "Born July 21, 1969." "Your mom's name is Lucie and your dad, now deceased, was Bernard." "Your father was a plumber, your mother, a stay-at-home mom." "In 1993, you married Mathilde, who you met at the national music conservatory in Tours." "Mathilde." "What instrument did my wife play?" "She was a pianist." "She put her career on hold for you." "She followed you to Berlin, Milan, where you were hired as an organist." "She must've loved me." "You have a son:" "François." "He was born in 1995." "It's shortly after his birth that you and Mathilde came back to the area." "You were hired as an organist at La Motte Church in 1998." "On March 24, 1999, you killed Mathilde." "How did I kill her?" "Cut her throat." "How?" "Pieces of a mirror." "We found it broken." "And my son, François?" " I didn't kill him?" " No." "What does he do now?" "He's also a musician." " Organist?" " Pianist." "Like his mother." "Why did I kill my wife?" " Did I love her?" " I think so." "She wanted a divorce." "She had a lawyer." "According to witnesses, she felt neglected." "I was a strange husband." "You were seen leaving your home, by car, the morning of March 24, 1999, around 8am." "A suitcase and some clothes were missing." "They concluded that you had fled." "You were tried and convicted in absentia, in 2000." "What happened to me after March 24, 1999?" "I don't know." "François." "That's it!" "Why did I not think of this sooner?" "March 24, 1999 was when the Mont Blanc tunnel caught fire." "I checked all of the databases." "I found nothing." "In France, but not in Italy." "Can you translate?" "Yes." "He was one of the people injured in the tunnel." "They thought he was Italian." "He was taken to a hospital in Aoste." "Woke up from a coma, totally amnesic." "He stayed in some centers, then vanished into thin air a few weeks ago." "By the way, what time did Mathilde die?" " Between 6am and 8am." "There we go!" "Michel couldn't have killed her." "The fire in the Mont Blanc tunnel started around 11am." "If he was in the tunnel at 11, he can't have been at home between 6 and 8." "A witness confirmed he left around 8am." "Who?" "A certain..." "Mrs. Leroux." "Leroux?" "That's Nathalie Garonne's married name." "She used her maiden name after the divorce." "The woman who found Michel Lagarde hanging?" "Yes." "Hold on." "She testifies against him in '99 and now saves him." "What's the deal?" " François wants to see his father." " I'll take care of it." "Can you glean more info on Nathalie?" "I want to know what she was doing, when she testified." " OK." " You can glean away!" "I saw you at the hospital." " How's the man?" " Much better." " Do we know his identity?" " Michel Lagarde." "An organist at La Motte." "Organist?" "That suits him." " Is your grandmother here?" " No." "Not before 6pm." " See you soon." " Goodbye." "I would like to..." "So you play the piano?" "You must have lots of questions..." "But you can't..." "You can't answer them, I know." "Is my mother..." "What's my mother's name?" "Lucie, right." "Did she come too?" "It's probably better." "See the face I have to lug around?" "I brought you... a few photos." "Is that you?" "No." "It's you." "You were a bit younger than me." "I wish I could tell you what you want to hear," "but I can't say I love you, because I don't know who I am." "Captain?" "I'm tired." "Can I go back to the hospital, please?" "It's awful!" "I deserve a medal for dedication." "What happened?" "Nathalie wasn't at the salon." "I spoke to the clients." "Nothing like a perm for that!" "A genealogist's trick?" "Woman and genealogist!" "In '99, Nathalie Garonne was getting a divorce." "She got indebted to buy back his shares." "She could've given a false testimony for money." "Exactly." "Anything else?" "Yes." "She wasn't always a hairdresser." "Apparently, she was a midwife, and changed careers." "Midwife..." "Isn't that a calling?" "Why did she go from babies to curlers?" " Captain?" " Yes, Garnier." " Lucie Lagarde is here." " OK." ""I need to talk to you." ""Meet me in the Bonprix carpark at 8pm." ""Nathalie Garonne."" "Oh shoot!" "I re-read your statements, from when Mathilde died." "You never tried to defend your son." "Why?" "The witness who said they saw Michel leave his house, made a false statement." "Do you know Nathalie Garonne?" "No." "There is something that you didn't share in '99." "Am I right?" "That morning, the morning Mathilde died, Michel called me." "He said Mathilde had cheated on him." "She had a lover?" "Did he say who it was?" "Nathalie?" "Nathalie!" "I mixed them up." "Mixed up..." "The moon." "Nathalie!" "No witnesses?" "Thank you, Garnier." "The tire marks indicate she was run over." "Bottoms up." "She was alive, and then... all of sudden, she was gone." "In front of me." "Have you ever experienced that?" "My father." "You should go to bed." "Yes, I'll get going." "My cat hasn't been fed..." "It's OK, I made up a bed for you." "Do you ever let anyone take care of you?" "Do you play cello?" "Not well." "I make a better cop." "Slept well?" "Arthur!" "Arthur!" " Margot, get out!" " I found something." "The Bonprix supermarket was built in the 90s on the site of a maternity clinic." "The Parc." " Nathalie was a midwife." " Did she work there?" "She wanted to tell me something." "I thought it was strange to meet in a carpark." "What do you plan to do with that info?" "Wait!" "I have Michel Lagarde's birth certificate." "Know where he was born?" "At that maternity clinic." "Isn't it strange how Nathalie's and Michel's paths keep crossing?" "Yes." "Yes?" "No one approaches him." "I'm on my way." "Michel Lagarde ran away from the hospital." "The priest saw him at the church." "You think he killed Nathalie?" "He was convicted in absentia because of her, and Michel knows." "I told him about it." "Who are you?" "Captain Arthur du Plessis, criminal unit." "Arrest me, Captain." "I'm a killer." "Come on." "I think the two women were killed by the same person." "After Mathilde's death, the killer asked Nathalie to testify against Michel, and now he's shut her up forever." "Any leads on Mathilde Lagarde's death?" "According to what Michel's mother said after the crime, it seems she had a lover." "I've contacted Mathilde's old friends." "If she had a lover, she was very discreet." "Good, Garnier." "Nathalie Garonne, have we checked her accounts during that period?" "No suspicious transfers between '99 and today." "If it wasn't for the money, why testify against Lagarde?" "They are connected?" "Margot may have found something." "Michel was born at the clinic where Nathalie was a midwife." "What will Margot do with all this?" "Well!" "If Ms. Laurent is on it, I'm most reassured." "Thanks for coming." "I needed to be here." "You don't usually leave..." "I'm allowed to get out sometimes, to go to the doctor or... for urgent matters." "You're an urgent matter!" "How can I help you?" "Nathalie Garonne died here, where there once was a maternity clinic." "Michel Lagarde was born there in July 1969, and she was a midwife." "Nathalie Garonne and Michel Lagarde are connected." "But I can't figure out how." "Before she died, she said," ""I mixed them up,"" "Then she added, "The moon."" "It makes no sense." "Michel was born in July 1969." "On what day?" "21 July at 3am." "Why?" "The moon!" "The night of July 20th, 1969, around 3am, first steps on the moon." "Something happened that night at the clinic." "What could she have mixed up?" "Babies." " Why, yes!" " My God!" "Nathalie Garonne switched Michel Lagarde and another baby." "Coming?" "I want to try something out." "Is this where I lived?" "Your mom didn't touch a thing." "You think I found my wife with someone else?" "You called your mother." "You were devastated." "You'd just found out she was cheating on you." "You saw something that night." "I always see the same thing." "A woman." "It's Mathilde." "Blood on my hands, then a cloud." "Why is a cloud there?" "My brain is like a cloudy sky, so..." "Renouvot Inc." "Come look." "The births register for 1969." "Look here." ""Michel Lagarde, July 21, 1969."" ""Sebastien Renouvot, July 21, 1969."" "He and Michel were switched at birth." "But how's this connected to the murder?" "When did you find out?" "In 1984." "When Elisabeth got sick, Sebastien and I had our bone marrow tested." "That's how I found out he wasn't our son." "I thought it was a bad joke." "Then I remembered... the night Sebastien was born." "It was a special night." "The first man walked on the moon." "Armstrong." "There were TVs everywhere, even in the maternity clinic." "The midwife with two brats in her arms, she was staring at the TV." "When I asked to see my son, she hesitated a bit then handed over Sebastien." "When you found out, what did you do?" "I called the clinic immediately." "But they..." "They suggested I sue Nathalie Garonne." "She begged me not to report her." "Besides, the Lagardes didn't want to hear about it." "Anyway..." "it's water under the bridge." "Did you ever meet Michel?" "No." "But after Elisabeth's death,..." "I regularly walked past his parents' house," "One morning, I heard the piano, and..." "I knocked." "He came to the window." "Hello." "And I saw him." "His mother's eyes." "So I left." "I said I had the wrong address." "After that," "I'd often go listen to him play the organ, secretly." "And Sebastien?" "What about him?" "You know, after my wife's death," "I couldn't look at him." "I sent him in boarding school." "Did you tell him he wasn't your son?" "Yes, once he was 18." "I thought he'd be able to handle it." "You told him all this?" "He knows who the midwife was?" "You killed Nathalie Garonne." "I don't know her." "You first met her on July 21, 1969, the night you were born, at the maternity clinic." "You can't remember that day." "Nor the fact that she accidentally switched you and Michel." "But you knew." "You went to see her in 1999, to get a false statement against Michel." "You even threatened to sue her." "What are you talking about?" "Michel saw you, the night of Mathilde's death." "His amnesia is reversible." "You also killed Mathilde Lagarde." "Didn't you?" "Michel had..." "Michel came into the living room." "He caught Mathilde and I on the couch." "He stood there staring at us." "Then he went upstairs, packed a bag and left." "Mathilde started crying." "I comforted her." "Come on." "Stop crying." "I'll take care of you." "We'll finally be able live together." "You can play the piano again." "I'll always be here for you." "Then she told me... she loved Michel more than anything." " I can't." " What?" "I can't live with you." "I love him, Sebastien." "He's the one I love." "Now I'd like for you to leave." "So I think I lost my mind." "I wasn't..." "I wasn't thinking." "You know the rest." "But I loved her." "Why did you become her lover?" "Because of Michel?" "It was a game at first, stealing his wife." " But you got caught up." "Yes." "Michel..." "Michel had what I didn't have." "Music, my father." "Even before I knew I wasn't his son, he'd look at me... with contempt in his eyes." "Just because," "I wasn't able to tell the difference between do and la." "Once I found out" "I wasn't his and Elisabeth's son, I was relieved." "It all made sense." "I hoped my father would forgive me for not being good at music." "But there was Michel." "For you, it was only about Michel." "My son." "When Nathalie found out it was you she'd saved, she wanted to talk." "She told Sebastien Renouvot that she'd spill the beans about the testimony." "So he killed her." "The organ I played on, was in this castle in 1773." "Yes." "I found out why you have such a special connection with the instrument." "The organ's owner, the lord of the castle." " The one who destroyed it." " Exactly." "Your biological mother was one of his descendants." " So this is my home." " Absolutely!" "I'd like to be alone for a moment." "Where do you get your tenacity from?" "It's the fruit of a lot of practice!" "Subtitles" " Eclair Group"
