"It's 7 pm." "You're listening to La Radio du Soleil." "Murders in Collioure" "Our guests today are here to talk to us about health." "DAD" "What is it, Dad?" "I'm on the way." "What?" "Yes, I'm on the way." "I'm coming!" "I can't get there any faster." "Yes." "It was an investigation that lasted..." "Miss!" "Miss!" "Are you all right?" "What happened?" "Stay calm..." "Call the police!" "Wait..." "I hope you didn't have any plans for tonight." "Let me warn you." "You don't see this every day." "Stuffed in a barrel with nails and broken glass and thrown off the cliff." "We're trying to identify her, but given the situation, it's not very easy." "I've seen her at a real estate agency." "Did you hear that?" "There aren't many of those in Collioure." " Identify her." " Yes, Commander." "Who are they?" "They called us." "They were the first ones here." "Who does the car belong to?" "Christine Sarda, a nurse in Collioure." "She was taken to the hospital." " Was she hurt?" " Just in shock." "The prosecutor wants you to handle it with a judicial police officer." " Why?" " That's just how it is." "Speak of the devil!" " Captain Loubet." " Laurent Grasset." "Capt. Castel, who you'll be working with." " Pleased to meet you." " Likewise." "There's the prefect." "I'm counting on you to find the sick person who did this." "We'll need spotlights to comb the path of the barrel." "When?" "It's supposed to rain tonight." "That could destroy any clues." "Then we'll have to do it right away." "I'll take care of it." "Yuck!" "Not much blood, but lots of wounds." "She was already dead when they put her in there, right?" "Yes." "She was strangled to death." "Given the width of the marks and the fibers we found, the cord was less than 1 cm in diameter." "Coming with me?" "What do you think?" "I think the barrel killer has struck again." ""The barrel killer"?" "You've seen this method before?" "No." "I was joking, Captain Castel." "A comedian!" "Great..." "No, that's okay." "I'm fine." "The barrel must've been thrown from here, right?" "You've got to be twisted to do something like this." "Because it wasn't easy." "He definitely didn't choose his victim at random." "Why would he bring a barrel that size all the way here and risk being seen if the victim was already dead?" "Maybe he wanted us to find out." "I see." "Here." "Give it to me." "Thanks." "It's hash." "There's not even enough for one toke!" "It's a joke." "Given their condition, they haven't been here long, no earlier than last night." "We'll have them analyzed." "You never know." " Captain!" " Yes?" "I found her." "Léa Castaldi, age 38, real estate agent, married to Pierre Castaldi, painter." "They live in Collioure at 12 Rue Saint-Vincent." "Okay, very good." "Let's go." "That's for the lab." "If you have any jokes left, save them for later." "They'll put the husband at ease when we tell him his wife's dead." " Mr. Castaldi?" " Yes." "Police." "May we come in?" "But how did it happen?" "She was strangled, but..." "We're waiting for the autopsy results to be sure." "Are you all right, Mr. Castaldi?" "She wasn't a complicated woman." "Everyone liked her here." "Was everything all right at work?" "No unhappy clients, lawsuits, or aggressive competitors?" "You weren't worried when she didn't come home this evening?" "No." "She told me she'd be home late." "And I lose track of time when I'm painting." "Have you been drinking?" "Not much. 2 or 3 drinks." "Was everything all right between the 2 of you?" "Sorry, but we have to ask." "It's nothing personal." "We had our ups and downs, like everybody." "But we were happy." "Do you have any children?" "No." "Mr. Castaldi, do you know what your wife was doing right before the murder?" "No." "If you like, we can look at her schedule." "Is that your mother?" "No, my mother-in-law." "May I ask her name?" "Maria Sanchez." "We'll have to go see her." "Does she live in the area?" "Not very far." "In Molitg-les-Bains." "Here." " May I?" " Go ahead." "Stéphane Martin." " Do you know him?" " No." "He had a meeting with her at 6 pm at 14 Chemin du Miradou." "Our colleagues will be by later." "They'll take a look at her things and ask you some questions." "Please be understanding and make their job easy." "Thank you." "Oh, yes." "One last thing." "You were painting all night." "Did you have a model with you?" "No." "No one can confirm my alibi, if that's what you're asking." "Good evening, sir." "For Sale Py Real Estate" "It's Léa Castaldi's car." "Oh, shit." "It smells like bleach." "I'm allergic." "Looks like someone's been cleaning." "Look what I've found." "Blood." "Well?" "It looks like this was where Léa Castaldi met her killer." "He pretended to be a buyer and set up a meeting for 6 pm." "She must have fought." "The floor's been cleaned, but the luminol revealed blood." "He said his name was Stéphane Martin." "Probably a fake name." "The phone number is a prepaid card." " And the husband?" " Nothing special." " But we'll have to watch him." " We're questioning the neighbors." "We could find out more about him." "Were you up all night?" "Go rest or get some coffee." "We'd like to talk to Christine Sarda." " That can wait." " Yes." "If she had something to tell us, she would've called." "I don't want my investigators to be too tired." "End of discussion." "Yes, Commander." "9 am..." "The time it will take to get my car at the police station, drive back to Perpignan, take a shower, eat something..." "Yeah." "All right." "What are you doing?" "I was going to go home." "What?" "That works for me too." "Okay." " I love when women invite me over." " You invited yourself." "Really?" "Possibly." "What's this?" "Shit." "There are no towels." "Uh..." "Could I have a towel, please?" "Yes!" "I'm nearly naked." "Oh!" "Sorry." "I'm Victoria." "Pascal." " Would you like some coffee?" " I'd love some." " It's nice out here." " Thank you." "So, you're Alice's new partner?" "Yes..." "Well, for this case." "Yes, obviously." " A woman in a barrel, huh?" " In a barrel, yes." "Here." "Thank you." " Are you ready?" " Yes, yes." "Let's go then." "Let's go." " I might be home late." " Okay." "No problem." "Thank you for your hospitality, and I'm sorry about..." "About the bathrobe." " Victoria's very nice." " Yes." "She's a great girl." " Did I bring my..." " Are you coming?" "Are we being informal, then?" "André Malraux said, "There are no heroes" ""without spectators."" "Today we are proud to be the spectators here to thank a true hero for all those who lived through the last century and all of its tragedies, without ever giving up on their ideals of humanity and justice." "When he started fighting Francoism at age 17," "Fernand Sarda had to flee his native Spain to take refuge on this side of the Pyrenees." "In 1940, he joined the French resistance in fighting the Nazi occupation." "Fernand." "This guy is a real legend around here." "Did you see him?" "He's over 90 and in incredible shape." "Have you known each other a long time?" "You and Victoria." "We've obviously known each other a long time." "She's my sister." "Okay..." "I can't believe it!" "You see 2 women and automatically start fantasizing!" "Not at all." "Is she single?" "The hospital wanted to keep me, but I couldn't miss this." " You must be proud." " Very!" "Dad would say it's just a fuss, but I know that deep down, he's very touched." "But that's not why you're here." "We'd like to ask you some questions about yesterday evening." "I don't have much to say." "I was coming from Mrs. Guérini's." "Diabetic, insulin shot." " Then what?" " Well, then..." "I was driving home, and suddenly, the barrel fell onto my car." "So I got out, and that's when I saw her." "I don't remember anything after that." "You didn't see anyone on top of the cliff?" "No." "I'm sorry." "Did you hear an engine?" "A car driving away?" "Did you know the victim, Léa Castaldi?" "Oh, not very well." "I ran into her a few times at her house." "I went there to treat her husband." "He had tendinitis." "It made it hard for him to paint." "Apparently... the victim worked for one of your father's companies." "Are you talking about me?" " Nice medal." " Oh, I've never sought out awards." "But I've never pretended to dislike them either." "We always need recognition." "Dad, they're investigating the death of Léa Castaldi." "She worked for my company, in the Collioure agency." "Yes." "Could you tell us about her?" "Oh, unfortunately, I can't." "I'm the real estate company's main shareholder, but I left the executive management 15 years ago." "But he still dedicates all his time to the company!" "You should talk to her colleagues at the agency." "Yes, we'll do that." "Fernand, are you coming for the picture?" "Ah!" "The price of fame." "I hope with all my heart that you arrest whoever did this to that poor young woman." "We can't let such monsters go free!" " Are you coming, Fernand?" " Goodbye." "I still can't believe it." "Were you close?" "Not particularly, but we got along well." "Do you know Stéphane Martin?" "He was supposed to meet her last night." " Is he a client?" " I've never heard of him." "But she managed her own schedule." " Did you socialize outside work?" " Rarely." "I invited her over for dinner, but she never came." "Her husband didn't want to." "He's kind of... wild." "He's an artist." "Listen, I don't want to cause anyone any trouble..." "Tell us what you know." "It was about a month ago, March 9." "I remember because it was my birthday." "She was acting normally and she went to visit properties." "Then she called to say she wasn't coming back, and that worried me." "The next day, she showed up with a black eye." "She said she ran into a shelf." "After that, she was never the same." " Did you talk to her about it?" " No." "I didn't dare." "Maybe if I had, she'd still be..." "All right, Castel." "What do you have?" "As we expected, the victim was dead when she was placed in the barrel." "She was strangled with a cord." "Judging by the time of death and what we saw at the villa, that's where she was murdered, sometime between 6 and 8 pm." "The blood we found in the house is still being analyzed, but we know the type." "It's Léa Castaldi's." "AB+ is a pretty rare blood type." "It's unlikely that it's also the killer's." "From what we know, the killer pretended to be a buyer and made an appointment with her." "Of course, she went." "As soon as she went in, he attacked her." "While fighting, she must've broken the window and cut herself." "Was your visit to the agency constructive?" "No." "Not really." "According to her colleague, Castaldi could have beaten his wife." "No need to say "could have."" "Our investigation was very enlightening." "The neighbors said they fought a lot during the last few weeks." "We'll have to look for traces of chronic abuse:" "broken bones, hairline fractures..." "Battered women always have them." "Wait." "That's not all." "A neighbor heard Castaldi threaten to kill his wife." "I saved the best for the last." "Léa Castaldi came home around 5:30 pm last night." "Just before she was killed." "Guess who went out right after her, as if he was following her?" "Never!" "I never raised a hand to my wife!" "Is that clear?" "We fought a lot, but nothing more than that." " It was violent, apparently." " That's what a fight is." "Do you fight calmly?" "I don't know." "I live alone." "But I never threatened to kill anyone." "What are you talking about?" "We have witnesses who heard you threaten her." "Witnesses?" "What witnesses?" " The neighborhood gossips?" " Do you deny it?" "I didn't threaten her!" "They were just words." "I was furious!" "So you did threaten her." "You have us wondering." "You said you were a happy couple." "That's not the impression we're getting." "We were happy." "Once." "What about the black eye?" "If you didn't give it to her, who did?" "She said she ran into a shelf." "Did you believe her?" "No." "You didn't try to find out the truth?" "She stuck to that story." " Why did you follow her yesterday?" " What?" "Yes, you followed her." "You were seen following her." "She was going to the house where she was killed." "You set up a meeting with her there." "Did you pretend to be a buyer?" " You're Stéphane Martin." " No." "No, what?" "No, you didn't follow her, or no, you didn't set up a meeting with her there?" "I followed her." "But I didn't go all the way." "I turned around." "That's the last time I saw her." "I thought she had a lover." "And then..." "I felt so pathetic." "Do you think this lover could have hit your wife?" "I don't know." "She'd changed." "It drove me crazy not knowing why." "But not crazy enough to kill her." "I think we'll be seeing him again soon." "Feels like that to me." " Excuse me." " Yes?" "Are you investigating the death of Léa Castaldi?" "Esteban Romero, journalist." "The press conference will be held at the police station." "Not interested." "I'm looking for sources connected to the case." " Anonymous, of course." " Good luck." "Wait!" "Maybe we could come to a win-win agreement." " What kind of agreement?" " You tell me." "Could we negotiate a discounted subscription to your newspaper?" "Get out of here." "You look better in your picture." "Sorry." "I would've loved to have dinner with you, but..." "I have plans with Miss Roussillon." "I can't cancel." "That works out well." "I didn't invite you." "That's true." "Have fun." "But you could have." "Ah!" "Cigarette time." "Thanks for that delicious meal." "Tomorrow I'll cook." "That's sweet, but I'd rather you didn't." "I like when you wear lipstick." "It's been a long time." "How's your investigation going?" "It's all my patients talk about." "Are you being careful?" "Don't worry." "I won't end up strangled in a barrel." " How's your colleague?" " Nice..." "He's a bit of a wise-ass, but he's professional." "And he's single, in case you were wondering." "I wasn't." "I know you too well." " You're blushing!" " Not at all." "Are you blushing?" "You're blushing!" " You look like a schoolgirl." " A divorced schoolgirl." "At any rate, you seem better, and that makes me happy." "barrel + Collioure" "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the mayor." "Pierre Castaldi" "The Paracolls Ruins In the Moltig Valley..." "In first place, it's my honor to announce..." "It's Marion!" "Let's hear it for Marion." "She is the new Miss Roussillon 2015!" "You're right." "The killer went through a lot of trouble." "You don't do something like that at random." "He wants to send a message." "Sugar?" "Two." "No one uses that method these days." " But in the Middle Ages..." " There was a lord in Paracolls." "I did my homework too." "A lord who wanted to seduce a pretty young woman but who left her as soon as he'd won her over." "The young woman's mother, Guillema, wanted to destroy him." "To get revenge, she put a curse on him and all of his descendants." "He took it very badly." "He accused her of witchcraft." "He put her in a barrel with nails and shards of glass." " He threw her off a cliff." " Yes." "All 60 km from here, in Molitg-les-Bains, where Léa Castaldi's mother still lives." "Exactly, Captain." " How was Miss Roussillon?" " Nice, but a little clingy." "I see." "Your car or mine?" " Mrs. Sanchez?" " Yes." "I'm here!" "Hello, Mrs. Sanchez." "Captain Castel." "Captain Loubet." "We'd like to ask you some questions about your daughter." "Mrs. Sanchez, you must have noticed the similarities between your daughter's murder and the local legend." "Why didn't you tell us about it?" "I knew you'd come see me." "Do you see the ruins over there?" "That was Paracolls castle." "Guillema was thrown off one of those cliffs." "Whenever Léa was bad, her father would say the ghost of Paracolls would come for her and do the same thing to her." "That story really scared her." "She had nightmares about it." " Where is her father?" " He died of a stroke when she was 10." "Believe me, it was no great loss." "But Léa took it very hard." "She was a very sensitive child." " Were you close?" " Of course!" "She was my daughter." "Sorry." "I didn't see you in her wedding photo." "What about your son-in-law?" "I never had much contact with him." "He loved my daughter." "But I always found him a nuisance, jealous as can be." "Léa could barely speak to another man." "The number of times I saw him throw a fit over nothing!" "Did Léa talk to you about her fights with her husband?" "In the beginning." "I told her, "If you're not happy, leave him."" "Otherwise, it's no use complaining." "Did she give you the impression that her husband beat her?" "Pierre, beat her?" "Oh, never!" "He was jealous, but he loved her." "A lot of men beat the women they love." "Nonsense!" "If you love someone, you don't hit them." "Anyone who says otherwise is a liar." "Mrs. Sanchez, who else would know about Léa's childhood and her fear of the legend of Paracolls?" "How would I know?" "She could've told anyone." " And the paintings..." " What?" "Yes." "The ones Pierre made about the legend of Paracolls." "Didn't you see them?" " I can't find it." " It has to be there." "She may not be easy, but she's rational." "There it is." "I found it." "The series is called "Dreams and Nightmares."" "Geez." "It's creepy." "Definitely..." "Mr. Castaldi is full of surprises!" " Yes, Commander?" " I've got some news." "The cigarette butts you found..." "We found prints on them." "Remember Francis Bacaresse?" "I thought he was in prison." "He's been on parole for 3 months." "Go pay him a visit." "Yes, Commander." " Who's Bacaresse?" " A small-time dealer." "He sells dope at night on the side of deserted roads." " So we might have a witness." " Absolutely." "Police!" "Stop!" "Bacaresse!" "Stop!" "Don't move!" "On your knees." "Put your hands behind your back." "I thought you stopped using." "Worried about my health?" "You're on parole." "I'm clean on every level." "Why did you run away if you're so clean?" "I don't know..." "Force of habit." "And I don't know him." "I didn't know he was a cop." ""He" is a police captain." "So watch your language." "Why's he talking to me like that?" "Enough already!" "Where were you the night before last?" " I don't remember." " Really?" "Well, I'll tell you." "You were smoking joints on the cliff while waiting for a client." " We found the butts." " So?" " I have the right to smoke a joint." " No." " I swear, I'm not dealing anymore." " Really?" "Then we'll search your house." "If you're not dealing, we won't find anything suspicious, right?" "What do you want?" "We found a body on the road, below the cliff." "Did you have anything to do with it?" "What?" "Are you crazy?" "Did you see something, or someone?" "If I tell you, can I go?" "It's true, I saw a guy on the cliff." "I wondered what he was doing there." "You could identify him?" "Yeah, I don't know." "Maybe." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "What about him?" "Yeah." "That's him." " Are you sure?" " I'm certain." "What are you doing?" "You should be arresting my wife's killer!" "Assholes!" "I found these in his van." "Shards of glass." "And a GPS, or what's left of it." "It's in bad shape, but maybe we can pull something from it." "Send it all to the lab, quickly!" "Make him spill the beans." "Yes, Commander." "So he's the one who killed her?" "No." "It was Colonel Mustard with the candlestick." "Keep up." "I'll write a flattering portrait." "You won't regret it." "And you know what?" "I'll let you read the article before it's published." "That's unusual, but then there won't be any unpleasant surprises." " You have everything to gain." " Watch your fingers." "It was Léa who told me about the legend." "It stirred something in me and I..." "I wanted to confront it, to portray it." "Léa was my model for Guillema." "Listen..." "Do you think if I wanted to kill my wife," "I would've used that legend?" "It would've led you to my paintings." "You were distracted enough not to tell us about it." "I was in shock." "I was scared, that's all." "What were you doing on the cliff the night of the murder?" "A witness saw you." "No." "I was in my studio." "I was painting." "You'll have to find a better alibi." "What happened to your GPS?" "It's in a rough shape." "We'll get it to talk, you know." "Did you buy the GPS?" "I gave it to Léa." "She needed it for work." "She was always driving around." "Was it a way to track your wife's movements?" " What?" " Was it a way to follow her?" "I was scared!" "Sit down." "Scared of what?" "I told you." "I was scared..." "that she was cheating on me." "That she would leave me." "We hadn't been communicating." "I thought she was hiding something from me." "When she found out I was following her, we got in a fight." "She broke the GPS." " And you ambushed her." " No!" " You hit her!" " No!" " Sit down!" " I didn't hit her!" " She was running away..." " Sit down!" "It's my fault!" "I shouldn't have done it!" "And in a way, I'm the one who killed her." "Sit down." "Castaldi!" "Shit." "Well?" " Anxiety meds and alcohol." " Suicide?" "No, I don't think so." "He just had too much." "Okay." "Thank you." "He confessed right away." "He just confessed to feeling guilty." "Yeah, but between the witnesses, the paintings..." "Listen, Chanteloup, call the lab." "I want to have good news for the prefect." " Yes, Commander." " Thank you." "Look!" "Come see what I found." "Tickets for the castle." "They're dated..." "Stop!" "It's embarrassing." "Look." "They're all dated September 18, going back 10 years." " Is that a birthday?" " Not hers, or her husband's." "We know more about him than her." "They analyzed the glass we found in the van." "They confirmed it's from the same bottle as the glass in the barrel." "It will take more time for the GPS, but we'll get data from it." " What's going on with Castaldi?" " He's sleeping." "He's being watched." "You can question him tomorrow." "Can we call in Léa's mother?" "We have some questions for her about her daughter and her visits to the castle." "Chanteloup, take care of it." "Call her." "Can I invite you to dinner?" "No, thanks." "I'm beat." "Me too." "Are we having dinner together?" "Bring your colleague." " It's me who's inviting you." " Really?" "Alice wants us to make things harder on ourselves." "No." "I just think everything fits together too neatly." "And he didn't confess." "It's disgusting, isn't it?" "You can say it." "No, it's..." "How do I put it..." "It's good." " It's a little sweet." " Yes." "And you used a little too much ginger." "Other than that, it's fine." "So you didn't move in with your sister for her cooking." " Sorry." "Bad question." " No, it's fine." "I just went through a difficult breakup." "I needed a place to stay." "I was supposed to stay 3 weeks, and I've been here for 9 months." "But I cook, usually." "That's what family's for." "Our family is pretty small." " We lost our parents very young." " I'm sorry." "So we've always been there for each other." "When Alice got divorced, she moved in with me." "Now she's returning the favor." "It's actually a kind of..." "How can I put it?" "Humanitarian exchange." "Housing in exchange for food." "How about you?" " Do you cook?" " I'm like Alice." "I have a close relationship with my microwave." "And I don't have a Victoria." "It will be strange when she leaves." "You know, she can do anything." "I know what we're missing:" "a bottle of wine." "Here." "Yeah, it's me." "I've thought it over." "Given the risks I'm taking, I think I need a little more." "Yeah." "Agreements can be renegotiated." "Especially if one of the parties..." "Yeah." "I could do that." "But I could do something else too." "I don't know." "I could go to... the cops and tell them they're on the wrong track." "It's your call." "See you tomorrow." "Indeed!" "Bright and early." "Not refreshed, but alert." "Thanks for the company and for that delicious chicken." "He's a flatterer." "That's his nature." "He can't help himself." "Two against one." "I don't stand a chance." "Ladies." "Do you mind if I go back to the station?" "No problem." "With this murder, I'm behind on my paperwork." "Ah!" "Captain." "We got a call." "People saw movement in a neighbors' house, but they're gone." "I'm not on duty." "It's the Castaldis' house." "Stop!" "Shit!" "Could you identify him?" "It was dark, and he was wearing a hood." "There's no way." " Commander." " Yes?" "Commander!" "Come see this." "It looks like soot and ashes." "Like paper that's been burned." "Something was hidden here." "Why didn't you call me?" "You could start by calming down and saying hello." "Hello!" "Well?" "You were in Perpignan, and I had to get there right away." " Don't cause a scene." " It was dangerous." "I'm big enough to defend myself." "Okay, sorry." "You're right." "I questioned Castaldi this morning." "He didn't know something was hidden." "Really?" "Do you believe him?" "Yeah, I think so." "I received the autopsy report." "No trace of previous wounds." "If he hit her, it was just that one time." "You think he was too easy to catch?" "Yes." " We need to check something." " Okay." "What?" "I'll tell you after the castle." "Léa left a bouquet of flowers here every year." "It was just like her to commemorate things." "Commemorate what?" "My father died in this fort on September 18, 1939." "His name was Pablo Sanchez." "The castle was turned into a camp for Spanish refugees." "Franco had won the war, and lots of Republicans fled over the border to save themselves and their families." "The French government welcomed them by locking them up in concentration camps." "They'd fought against Fascism, and they were treated like criminals." "My father ended up in the special camp in Collioure, the worst one of all." "He was 19." "He'd married my mother just a few weeks earlier." "She was pregnant with me." "Fortunately, she wasn't sent to the camp." "But my father didn't come out alive." "What happened?" "There was a fight." "You don't gain anything by digging up the past." "That's what I told Léa, but she was fascinated by the whole thing." "She wanted to know more about where she came from, her roots." "The 1st time she visited Collioure was to find out more about her grandfather." "In the end, she met the man who would kill her." "I told you." "You should never stir up the past." "It was a real concentration camp." "I'd heard of it, but I didn't know the details." "It's probably not the 1st thing they mention at the Tourism Bureau." "What did you want to check about Castaldi?" "Get in." "You'll see." " Last night was nice." " Very nice." "And we had a great dinner." " Victoria really liked you." " She's been through a lot." "Yes." "I had to pick up the pieces." "The next guy better behave, or he'll have to answer to me." "I'm just saying." "Victoria is charming, but..." "I really like her sister." "Get out." " What?" " Get out, I said." "Here?" "Okay." "What's she up to?" "Yes, hello?" " Does anything strike you?" " What are we doing?" "I'm standing where the barrel was thrown." "You're where Bacaresse was." "Still nothing?" "You're going a little fast for me." "Can you see me?" "Yes." "I'm not blind." "Can you see my face?" "Yeah..." "Now you can." "The sun is in your line of sight." "But after 2 or 3 joints, would you still recognize me?" "Okay." "I get it." "If Bacaresse lied, that would mean...?" "He planned on serving us Castaldi on a platter." " The perfect killer." " Absolutely." "Bacaresse!" "Careful." "Get back." "The gas." "Bacaresse!" "I'll call an ambulance." "Shit." "We'll never know if he lied or not." "We haven't found any link between the Castaldis and Bacaresse." "Not personal, professional or financial." "Nothing." "No motive." "Drugs?" "Could the Castaldis have bought drugs from Bacaresse?" "Nothing suggests that." "We know Bacaresse is connected to the murder." "Could he have been Castaldi's accomplice?" "And for one reason or another, he turned on him?" "That would mean we made a mistake somewhere." "Something's not right." "They didn't break into the Castaldis' by chance." "They found something in Léa Castaldi's office." "Now we have to find out what it was." "The lab got the data off the GPS." "And?" "All I found were trips in and around Collioure." "Except for one." "She went to the Spanish border a few days before she was killed." "To La Jonquera." " It's full of prostitutes." " You know it well." "I'm a cop." "It's my job to know it." "She could've gone to buy cigarettes or duty free alcohol." " But that's not all!" " "But that's not all!"" "I have her phone records." "She called a Spanish number." "It's a prepaid phone." "I called, but no one answered." "You're going to Spain." "Anything else, Chanteloup?" "Any more surprises?" "No, no." "No more surprises." " Good work, Chanteloup." " Thank you, Captain." " I'm going to like him." " He's a very good officer." "Maybe Léa Castaldi was having an affair." "Yeah." "Maybe her husband was actually right." "Stop." "We barely know each other." "This was in your hair." "It's a flower." "We barely know each other, but we have plenty of time." "I was serious when I said my sister liked you." "Yes." "I was serious too." "Listen." "I was married for 16 years." "I was happy for 6 years, and it took me 10 years to leave her." "I lost 10 years to cowardice." "That's a long time." "Don't you think?" "So, I like you." "That's it!" "If it's not mutual, never mind." "Is it mutual?" "No answer?" "I think we're almost there." "I'll turn the GPS on." "There are lots of French plates around here." " You think this is it?" " Yes." "It looks like she parked in this lot." "Hello." "Holà." "Holà." "Cherchamos cetta muchacha et cetto hommo." "Have you seen these two people?" " No." " Thank you." "Okay, thank you." "What did you say?" ""Cherchamos esta muchacha"?" " What else?" " I had a bad Spanish teacher." "Hey!" "I know you!" " No, that would surprise me." " Yes, yes." " Daniel?" " Pascal." "Pascal..." "Ah!" "Pascualito!" "Pascualito?" "Listen, I don't want to bother you, but I know the girl in the photo." "I've seen her before." " Where did you see her?" " Here, once." "She was with a shady guy." "He's often at the gaming hall over there." " What does he look like?" " Tall, brown hair..." " Around 40 years old." " Okay, thank you." "Ciao!" "Did you know Léa Castaldi?" "Stop smiling." "Calm down." "I'll tell you everything." "3 coffees, please." "I'm writing an article about prostitution on the border." " What's the link to Léa Castaldi?" " None." "She contacted me when I started investigating here." "She came to see me." "I've written a number of articles about the Retirada," "Spaniards who fled to France at the end of the civil war." "Léa Castaldi read them, and she wanted me to write an article about her grandfather." "When I found out she was killed, I was shocked." "So shocked you forgot to tell us about it." "I'm a journalist, okay?" "I wanted to find out more before I went to the cops." "What was her article about?" "She wanted to pay tribute to her grandfather." "She thought it was a forgotten chapter in history." "Was she being threatened?" "Let's just say..." "I saw the black eye, but..." "I didn't get into the details." "Well, we'll need a deposition." "We'll call you in tomorrow morning." "So it wasn't the husband?" "Buy the newspaper if you want to find out." "Shit." "You think he's lying to us?" "I don't think he's telling us everything." "Would you go to a journalist to pay tribute to a loved one?" "There's someone else who isn't telling us everything." "Isn't that so, Pascualito?" "You should help Romero with his article on La Jonquera." "Oh, quit it." "I went there once, maybe twice." "After my divorce, to take my mind off things." "I'd totally forgotten about it." " Well, she didn't forget you." " I'm unforgettable." "What can I say?" "Hey!" "What are you doing here?" "I was in the neighborhood." "Want to go eat?" "I'm a little worn out." "I don't know if..." "I would love to, but I already have plans." " Okay." "Another time, then." " Yes, definitely." "That's nice of you." "Thanks." "What's he doing here?" "Can I take you home?" "Are you following me?" "You let me go and now you're still following me?" "That's harassment!" "It's harassment." "I was just offering to drive you home." "You don't look so good." "People think I beat her because they read it in the newspaper." "Yes, they do!" "Why did you say that?" "We didn't say anything." "I don't know who said it." "There are always leaks." "Even when you find the bastard who killed her, these people will still think I beat her." "I can't bear that." "It tarnishes my love for her." "Do you understand that?" "Her black eye doesn't help you either." "I can't stop thinking about it." "I didn't believe her story about the shelf either." "But..." "After all, maybe it was the truth, right?" "Maybe she really did run into a shelf." "You don't think it's possible?" "Yeah, maybe." "Yeah." " Come on." "Get in." " Quit following me." "Go!" "Pascal seemed distant, didn't he?" "Oh?" "No, I don't think so." "Can I be honest with you?" " He's seeing someone." "Is that it?" " No, no." " Is he gay?" " No, no." "It's just..." "Yeah, I know." "He's a womanizer, a player, and I shouldn't get carried away." "But you know what?" "I don't care." "Right now, I don't care." "I like him, and I want to move on." "Yeah, you're right." "That's good." "Did he talk to you about me?" "He likes you, but right now he's very focused on his work." "Tomorrow, 8 am, real estate agency." "I'll explain." "Night, beautiful." "Why are we here?" "I ran into Castaldi last night." "I think he's telling the truth." "He never hit Léa." "So?" "So..." "What happened on March 9?" "How'd she get a black eye?" "We thought her husband did it." "But what if he didn't?" "Then something else happened March 9." "Exactly." "I have all her clients and I'm overwhelmed." "We haven't hired anyone yet." "So..." "Schedule, Léa..." "March..." "March 9." "She just had one meeting:" "Gaston Précéguet." "Précéguet?" "An old man who accidentally set his living room on fire." "He was more scared than anything." "After that, he went to a retirement home." "Fire?" "Soot..." "She found something there." " What?" " Can we see the house?" "Yes, but it's empty." "Do you have the retirement home's address?" "Yes, I do." "Excuse me." "Yes, Commander?" "Dead?" "Yes." "Last week." "Cardiac arrest." "Was he tired?" "He was fine the night before." "But when you're that age..." "Excuse me." " Did he have visitors?" " He didn't have any family." "It's sad." "We only saw the real estate agent." " Léa Castaldi?" " Yes, that's her." "She came about his house." "She was selling it for him." "I remember her, because I put ice on her eye." " She ran into something." " Did she tell you that?" "It wasn't a punch or a slap, if that's what you think." "I worked in the ER a long time, and I know blows when I see them." " She ran into something." " Did you stay with them?" "No." " Did she stay long?" " Yes, pretty long." "Did Mr. Précéguet tell you anything about Léa Castaldi?" "About his house?" " No." " Try to remember." "Now that I think about it, he was very agitated when she left." "Will you excuse me?" "Hey." "Look." "I found something that might interest you." "The archives from before 1945." "Mr. Précéguet was a guard at the Collioure fort in 1939." "That's where Léa's grandfather died." "That's the connection." "May I?" "Here, Alice." "Look." "Remind you of anyone?" "The medal ceremony." "Fernand Sarda?" "And Pablo Sanchez, Léa Castaldi's grandfather." "They were both in the camp." "And Précéguet was their guard." "Of course." "May I keep these?" "Thank you." "City Hall" "Yes, Commander." "Yes, all right." "Very well, Commander." "He wants us to proceed with caution." "Sarda has friends in high places." "We made a mistake." "Why was it a mistake?" "Listen, it stays between us, and we'll never talk about it again." " It wasn't a mistake." " What was it then?" "It was a really nice time." "Wasn't it?" "A really nice time?" "Five minutes in a basement?" "First, it wasn't 5 minutes, and you're the one who jumped on me." "So..." " Mr. Sarda?" " That's me." "Mr. Ramirez, right?" "Please sit down." "Thank you." "I wasn't very honest with you." "My name is not Ramirez." "I have no real estate plans." "And I have no interest in meeting Fernand Sarda, founder of the Sarda la Catalane company." "Then why am I here?" "I'm a journalist, and I wanted to meet Fernand Sarda, the man who ordered Léa Castaldi's murder." "This is what Léa Castaldi found at Précéguet's house." "He kept a diary, you know." "And he wrote some very interesting things in it." "For example, like how you beat her grandfather to death." "Or how you negotiated a comfortable life in the camp." "Précéguet spared you and brought you food." "In exchange, you acted as his mole among the prisoners." "So obviously, when Léa found you, you got scared." "All your local glory ruined by something that happened 70 years ago." "You couldn't let that happen." "You have a very good imagination." "No." "I'm not making anything up." "It's all there." "If it was all there, you wouldn't be here trying to make me say something." " You would've published your story." " I will publish it." "All I need to know is if you want to include your version, or if you'd rather save it for the police." "You're not a journalist." " You're a thug." " And you're a murderer." "I'm offering you an interview." "you can tell the truth." "The truth?" "The truth is that I've never been intimidated by pests like you." "I've always crushed them." "That's how I got where I am today." "You have 24 hours." "After that, I'm publishing it." "Do whatever you like." "You have no proof of anything." "No one will believe you." " Are you okay?" " I'm fine." "I have to talk to you..." "about Pascal." "What about Pascal?" "What are you going to do?" "I don't know..." "When the investigation is over, I won't see him anymore." "It was a mistake." "Do you love him?" "No." "Why did you do it then?" "If you were in love, I could understand, but..." "Knowing how I felt..." "How could you do that?" "I don't know." "Actually, yes." "I do know." "I'm lonely, Victoria." "You've been divorced 6 months." "For me, it's been 5 years." "I have no kids, no husband, no lover." "Then a guy comes along who's interested in me and..." "I'm sorry." "I hope you can forgive me." "Murder in Collioure" "I'm going to bed." "Don't stay up all night, okay?" "Good night, Christine." "Okay." "Good night, Dad." ""Christine, my daughter," ""no matter what happens in the coming days," ""I ask you to please be strong," ""respect my decisions," ""and forgive me."" " Where is he?" " In your office." "He wants to talk to Mrs. Sanchez first." "Loubet's with her." "We were waiting for you." "Hello, Mrs. Sanchez." "Thanks for coming so quickly." "That's him." "Are you ready to face him?" "Yes." "Have a seat." "Give us a minute, please." "I'm listening." "I met your father in 1939, here in Collioure." "We were both refugees." "We became friends right away." "To improve my situation," "I spied for a guard in the camp," "Gaston Précéguet." "If I found out someone had stolen or was going to run away," "I'd tell Précéguet." "In exchange, he'd give me extra food or cigarettes." "One day, your father found out what I was doing." "He threatened me." "If the other prisoners found out, I'd be a dead man." "Ratting people out was no joke back then." "Did you kill my father?" "I had no choice." "As they say, it was either him or me." "Précéguet covered for me and your father's death was quickly forgotten about." "But what does all that have to do with Léa?" "Your daughter found a diary that belonged to Gaston Précéguet, the guard at the camp." "She came to see me." "She swore she'd reveal everything." "I was scared, and I hired someone to..." "I couldn't do it myself." "You can still do lots of things at 93, but there are limits." "You killed my daughter over something that happened 70 years ago?" "I'm a public figure." "I've led an exemplary life." "But in that life, there were times of darkness." "I couldn't stand the idea of them being brought to light." "If you think" "I'm going to assuage your conscience, you're sorely mistaken." "I don't believe in forgiveness." "You're a murderer!" "You should pay!" "Mr. Sarda, we have a few questions to ask you." "It's all there: my motives, Bacaresse's role..." "My confessions." " Captain." " Yes?" " I want to see my father!" " That's not possible." "I demand to see him." "He's 93!" "He's not in his right mind." "He seems completely lucid." "Who told you he was here?" "He left me a letter, but he's lying." "He's perturbed." "You perturbed him by bringing up this sordid mess." "We're investigating a murder and we can't ignore anything." "His lawyer has been notified." "We'll call you." "Okay?" "But..." "He's a great resistance fighter!" "He's a hero!" "You can't do this!" "Fernand Sarda..." "That's going to cause a stir." "Before telling the prefect, check on his statements." "Find everything you can on Précéguet and find the diary." "Sarda says Romero has it." "Then we have to find Romero." "Chanteloup will search all the hotels." "Yes, Commander." "Let's go to Sarda's house and get the card with Romero's number." "It's the coroner." "Hello?" " Did you solve the case?" " Why?" "What's going on?" "I've been asked to finish my report on Bacaresse." " But something's not right." " I'm listening." "It looks like he was asphyxiated by gas while he fell asleep, with the help of some joints." "But I noticed a recent injection mark on his neck." "I wanted to analyze it, but the prosecutor says there's no need." "What should I do?" "Do it." "I'll cover you." "Okay." "Okay, thanks." "You go to Sarda's." "I have to check something." "Did Précéguet have any other visitors?" "Not that I know of." "You don't have a record?" "It's not a prison." " But you have cameras." " Yes." " Do you save the videos?" " Yes, for 30 days." "It's a software." "No one knows how to use it." "Can you show it to me?" "Mrs. Sarda?" "Mrs. Sarda?" "Esteban Romero" "Hotel Mas des Citronniers" "Oh, shit." "Yes?" " Are you at Sarda's?" " Yeah." "I'm in Christine's room." "It's a real museum to her father!" "Alice, be careful." "They found an injection mark in Bacaresse's neck." "It's her." "She must've done it cleanly." "It's her job, after all." " What else did you find?" " You want to know?" "She went to see Précéguet an hour before he died." "Her father figured it out." "He's protecting her!" "Where is she?" "All I know is, she's not here." "Alice, get out of there." "She killed Bacaresse." " Did you find Romero's card?" " He's at the Mas des Citronniers." "I'll soon be there." "I'll be there before you." "I'm sorry." "Which room again?" "3, that one." " Is he dead?" " Romero, can you hear me?" "His pulse is weak, but he's breathing." "Help me." "Let's put him in the recovery position." "Yes, hello?" "Okay, got it." "I'll let her know." "Christine Sarda is holed up in the fort." "Tell them I'm coming." "Call an ambulance." "Tell them he was poisoned." "She's in the fort." "Where are you?" "I'm on the way." "I'm going to stop..." "Hello?" "Pascal?" "Shit!" "My battery's dead." "You go over there." "You, there." "And you, over there." " Stop, Mrs. Sarda!" " It's "Miss" Sarda!" " Don't come any closer!" " It's over." " We know everything." " It's all lies!" "Dad didn't do anything." "It's all lies!" "I killed Précéguet because of his slanderous lies." "He didn't do anything!" "I killed Léa Castaldi." "She accused us of terrible things, and she went to a journalist!" "Don't come any closer!" "Okay, okay." "I won't come any closer, but you have to calm down." "Tell me..." "Why Bacaresse?" "He wanted to blackmail me." "Now there's one less junkie on the planet!" " Was he your accomplice?" " Yes." "I know all the junkies around here." "I picked the dumbest one, who couldn't even throw a barrel." "That idiot almost killed me!" "Don't come any closer!" "Put the syringe down." "I don't want those slanderous lies to come to light." "They weren't lies, Christine." "Dad." " They weren't lies." " Yes, they were..." "People are jealous." "They make up whatever they want." "Whatever they want." "That's the truth." "No, no." "Listen." "Okay, Dad." "My dad." " What did you tell her?" " Oh..." "What I should have told her long ago." "That I loved her, that of everything I'd gotten in life, the honors, my company, the medals... she was my greatest achievement." "That's what I should have told her long ago." "Instead, I turned her into a monster." "Like me." "Maybe I'll get a little promotion." "Won't you come have a drink?" "Yes, I'm coming." "Well, the investigation is over." "I'm going back to Perpignan." "It's not like you've been transferred to Dunkirk." "It's 30 kilometers away." "It's not far." "I'm taking a vacation." "I've wanted to for a while." "Where are you going?" "I don't know." "Far away." "Maybe Argentina." "That's great." "Come with me, Alice." "Me, in the pampas?" "No, thanks." "Oh,then, we can go somewhere else." "The islands?" "Canada?" "Sochaux?" "No, I'm joking." "How about Dunkirk?" "I loved working with you, but it has to stop there." "I can't do that to my sister." "I had to take care of her." "I can't betray her." "She's fragile." "It has nothing to do with her." "You're scared." "Not for her, but for yourself." " I'm not scared." " Yes, you are." "You're scared of commitment, of your feelings, of your shadow..." "I'm very happy with my life." "I was before I met you, and I will be afterward too." " Alice isn't here." " I know." " You came home late last night." " Yes." "I spoke with Pascal." "He came to see me." "It was good that he did." "He really likes you." "You can see it right away." "I didn't see it." "I'm sorry, Victoria." "He's a good guy." "Don't push him away because of me." "I'm fine." "Okay." "Okay, well, I'm going to work." " You never give up, do you?" " Never!" " I'm not easy to be with." " I noticed." "But I like challenges." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Media"
