"THE BLOODY WOMAN" "The bullet entered the C12 through the inferior mastoid process, and..." "What are you doing here?" "Can you give me a quick blood test?" "Yes, take a seat." "What are we looking for?" "I don't know." "Symptoms?" "I woke up somewhere that I didn't recognise." "A few scattered memories have come back to me." "From time to time I get a flashback." "Have you got a sore head or nausea?" "No." "Did you drink something salty, or soapy last night?" "No." "What about a mentholated drink?" "Yes, perhaps." "Left or right arm?" " Left." " Ok." "Mint hides the taste of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid quite well." "Or perhaps it's Rohypnol." "You don't look like you could have had more than 4 grams." " Did you have sex last night?" " Yes." "Any precise memories?" "Was it hetero or homosexual?" "When will I get the results?" "Not before tomorrow." "What's your national insurance number?" "Let go, let go." "Thanks." "I imagine you didn't use protection." "GHB and Rohypnol can make you forget those sorts of things." "You've got 48 hours to start a treatment to stop the infection." "What infection?" "HIV, Martin." "Well, do what you like, if you think your partner was ok." "Whilst you're here, go urinate in a pot." "In case a substance was already filtered." "Rohypnol gets into the urine very quickly." " Right." " Over there." "Alright." "There you go." "Good stuff." "Was it anything to do with an investigation?" "Or was it for fun?" "No, it was an art exposition, something like that." "I have no idea what I was doing there." "Don't worry, it'll come back." "I've got to finish my report, you can go home." "I've got to be in court early." "I'll go to the office." " Good luck." " Well, in any case, thanks." "What are you doing?" "Go wash your mouth, god knows what you've been doing with it." "Party" "Private viewing" "Cocktails" "Commissioner Martin." " Hi." " Hi." "Did it go well at court?" "I spent 5 hours hanging about, then 1 hour being bullied by the defence, but it was ok." "What about you?" "I'm checking procedures." "Olivier's filing system baffles me." "I'm scared I'll make a mistake and forget something." "A guy was trying to get hold of you." "Who?" "It's written down over there." "Good." "Nicolas Hoffmann..." "I don't know him." "He wanted you, he'll call back." "Alone" "Aimelot street" "Gallery" "Is there a problem?" "No." "No, no." " Are you ok, Martin?" " Yeah." "I can't breathe." "Is it hard to breathe in?" "Yeah, that's it." "It's just your nerves." "It's rib pain, stop drinking coffee and go and see Florence." " Should I call her?" " No, thanks." "I don't like pills." "I'll go get some air." " Yes." " Martin?" "Your blood and urine are fine." "You weren't drugged in the last 12 hours." "You drank alcohol but no drugs." "Have you had some bad news recently?" "A death or illness?" "No, why?" "The mind can play tricks on you to avoid facing traumatising situations." "Can you hear me Martin?" "Can you hear me Martin?" "Are you ok?" "Yes, yes, I'm fine." "Ok." "Ok, see you later." " Catch you later, bye." " Bye." "Sorry." "Nicolas Hoffmann, thanks for coming, commissioner." "How did you get my number?" "I'm the head of an international organisation that has very high up connections in France." "NHI, Nicolas Hoffmann." "The "I" is for "intelligence", from the Anglo-Saxon meaning." " Sir?" " No, thanks." "What's the lead for the case I'm witness to then?" "Sorry, that was a pretext." "I really had to meet you." "Why didn't you make an appointment with my secretary?" "I needed to see you outside of work." "Please, take a seat." "I've carefully studied your profile." "I would like you to work for us, as my main consultant in France." "Put the lights on." "Take your clothes off." "In 10 years you'll retire." "Then maybe you will manage a small shop's security?" "If you work for me, you'll have a top job in my organisation." "I'm still not interested." "Don't waste your breath." "I don't think I am." "Choose someone else, Mr Hoffmann." "Good bye, commissioner." " Yes?" " It's me." "Were you sleeping?" "No, but it's late." "But you're not sleeping." "I found a shop to rent for your daughter." "What type of shop?" "Make an effort, she talked to you about this." "She can sell her pottery and give lessons." "Yes, that's right." "I thought it was just another idea." "Why are you calling?" "I just came across an old client of mine," "Véra Musil." " Did you sleep with her?" " Yes." "You bastard!" "Was it good?" " Listen..." " She hasn't got your number." "I wanted to check, before giving it to her." "Are you the middleman now?" "Did she talk about me?" "No." "Did you fuck in a hotel?" "No, at hers." "Is that everything?" "Martin, wait." "Will you see her again?" " I don't know." " A one night stand, that's not her thing." "Things aren't easy between her husband and her." "You might get lucky." "How did she connect the dots between you and me?" "Maybe she saw your photo at mine." "I didn't think she would jump all over you." "Right, Martin, I'm exhausted." "Come and see the shop, you're going to pay for it." "Kisses." "Kisses." " Martin, it's me." " Hi, Jeannette." " Are you better?" " Yes." "That's good." "I'm calling because we've got a homicide." " Come and get me?" " Ok." "They'd never offer me a well-paid job." "It's cool to be commissioner." " I didn't like the guy." " It's at number 7." " Are you coming?" " What floor?" "1st floor." "Hello." "I was here 2 days ago." "What?" "In this flat?" "Yes, with a woman." " Is it her?" " No, I don't think so." "No, it's not her." "I've never seen this woman before." "Right, she's called Véronique Parant." "She lives here." "Her house cleaner identified her." "My finger prints will be all over this place." " You contaminated the crime scene?" " No." "This is where I woke up 2 days ago." " Did you sleep with this woman?" " No." "No?" "That's good at least." "Who did you sleep with then?" "A woman I met on a night out." " I was sure it was her flat." " Maybe she borrowed it." "Holy shit, Martin!" "We can't keep this case." "Yes." "Yes, Martin." "Effectively, your finger prints are everywhere, especially around the victim's bed." "I've got to put that in my report." "Yes, I told you so." "Do you remember what you did last night?" "What are you implying?" "2 days ago you had amnesia." "Your finger prints are all over a crime scene." " I'm just asking." " Do you think I did it?" "I'm just asking what you did last night." "I had an appointment." "Do you want my alibi?" "Stop it." "Did you find a weapon?" "I'll pretend that you're still in charge." "I'm still on the case." "We haven't got a weapon." "But the bullet is from a very small calibre." "Probably a semiautomatic, most likely foreign and rather old." "How do you know?" "We found a shell with Automatic Colt Pistol written on it." "No prints on it." "Anything else?" "No, no." "Thanks." "Bye." "What's happening?" "I really felt like someone had been in my flat." "Why have you got a gun?" "It was a gift, I've never used it." "Nothing else is missing?" "I don't know." "I'll ask for someone to check for prints." "There's no point." "They have my prints." "The thief won't have left his here." "Holy shit!" " Yes?" " Isa, it's me." "Hi dad." "Did you touch a box in my room, in my cupboard?" "What box?" "A black box with a gun in it." "And?" "I can't find it." "Why would I have it?" "What would I do with it?" "Ok." "Thanks." "Did you go and see the shop?" "I will." "I will go!" "Don't worry." "Ok." "I trust you." "Bye dad." " See you later." " Kisses." " Shit, it wasn't her." " Wait." "Nothing proves that your gun killed Véronique Parant." " Did you put it elsewhere?" " No, it was there." "I don't believe in coincidence." "I'm taking your case and I have to question you." "That's logical." "Ok, let's start." "Where were you 2 nights ago?" "At mine, then I had an appointment." "Who with?" "With Nicolas Hoffmann, we split up at midnight." "If he confirms this, you're fine." "She died at that time." "Where can we find Hoffmann?" "He's head of the company NHI, Nicolas Hoffmann Intelligence." " And his number?" " Jeannette has it." "Otherwise do an internet search." "When did you go into Véronique Parant's flat?" "Tuesday night, but I was with another woman." " Not Véronique Parant." " Who then?" "She's called Véra Musil." "She acted like it was her place." "She had the keys." "No one else was there." "Bélier must have found her prints." "I'll have to question this lady." "We'll take her prints while we're at it." "What do you know about her?" "Not a lot." "We met for the first time on Tuesday." " And she took you to the flat?" " Yeah." " Where did you meet her?" " At a gallery in the 11th." "Then we went back to hers." "Did you sleep together?" " Yes." " Did you stay the whole night?" "No, I woke at 4am and I left." "Have you seen her since?" "No." "Do you own any other guns?" "No." "I had to ask." "What do we do now?" "It's too late to test your hands." "Even if you did shoot this lady, you wouldn't have left your prints all over the place." "We'll see what a judge thinks." "He might ask to have you examined or heard as a witness." "Ok, and then?" "I'll interview Hoffmann and Véra Musil." "Discreetly, please." "She's married." "You'd be better worrying about yourself rather than this woman." "I hope she was good, because she's really screwed you over." "So?" "I think I screwed up." "She asked if I had a gun and I lied." " You can make up for that." " I'm playing for time." " I want to know what's going on." " Martin, it's not your case anymore." "Ok, very good." "Alright." "I'll call you back." "Speak to you soon, bye." "You could have told me you were coming." "I'm just about to go see the shop." " I'll get the keys." " Yeah." "Come on." "We won't find better." "It's a good deal." "What do you think?" "Yes, it's brilliant." "She got a bank loan, I'm her guarantor." "That's good." "Do you know a Véronique Parant?" "Her name rings a bell." "She's a friend of your friend Véra Musil." "I slept with Véra in her flat." "Great." "She's been found dead." "Shit!" "Murdered." "Can you tell me more about Véra Musil?" "Well..." "I already told you." "She's a clever woman, married, she works in the art industry." "She has a rich family." "She's got good taste, the same as mine." "We got along." "Could she have wanted to stitch me up for Véronique's murder?" " I must speak to her." " Stitched up?" "Are you crazy?" "My prints are all over that flat." "Why did she take me there?" "It all seems completely unbelievable." "How well do you really know someone?" "I'll send you her details." "Anything else you know?" "Well, she doesn't seem manipulative or dishonest." "But I have seen her get annoyed." "But that doesn't make her perverse." "May I remind you that I'm not a cop or a shrink." "I know, but I trust you, especially since that accountant thing." "Maybe you should get a lawyer." "We'll see." "You're the expert." "I hope you don't mess up." "Alright." "I'll leave you a set, you can come here with Isa." "It's important to her." "Martin, take care of yourself." " Yes." "Musil, is that her married name?" "No, it's her maiden name." "Her husband is called Hoffmann." "Nicolas Hoffmann." "Kisses, Zoé." "Where's Hoffmann's number?" "I'm going now." "See you tonight." "I'm sorting files!" "What are you looking for?" " Hoffmann's number." " Who's that?" "The guy who wanted to speak with me." "It was his wife I slept with." "Holy shit!" "Right..." "Is he involved?" "I was with him when the woman got shot." "What?" "I was with him when the woman was murdered." "No, no, no." "A rich heiress has been found dead, murdered in her villa Victor Hugo flat." "You've reached Véronique Parant's voicemail, please leave a message." "Yes, Véronique, it's Véra." "Call me back when you get this message." "It's Martin." " Yes." " I just found out that Hoffmann is Véra Musil's husband." "What?" "What the hell!" "Is this guy supposed to confirm your alibi?" "Great." "I left him a few messages." "He hasn't called back." "I'll call you back." "Hello?" " Nicolas Hoffmann?" " Yes, that's me." "Commissioner Martin." "Can we meet up today?" "Today will be difficult." "Commissioner Landowski wants to see you about our appointment." "An appointment?" "What appointment?" "What are you playing at?" "Bye, commissioner." " Wait." " Actually," "I've got something that belongs to you." "What's going on?" "Come on, let's have a drink." "He implied that he has the gun." "At least we know where it is." "Who the hell is this guy?" "What does he want?" "What job did he offer you?" "A consultant job, he works for a secret intelligence company." "NHI, Nicolas Hoffmann Intelligence." "He wants you to be a mole." "No, I doubt that." "He wants to take away my alibi." "So, because you slept with his wife, he killed a woman to set you up?" "I don't know." "We need to find out about him and his work." " I need to speak to his wife." " No, you can't." "I don't care." " Hi." " Hi." " Can I speak with you?" " Yes." "Right, I'm off." "I didn't tell Landowski about your amnesia." "Thanks." "And?" "Do you think I'm capable of killing a defenceless woman?" "Why don't you call her to tell her?" "You're annoying." "I know it's not you." "I just came to say that because I didn't talk about it, you shouldn't either." " But do what you want." " Wait." " Wait." " What?" "Thank you." "Yes, I was with the commissioner in Véronique's flat." "She let me borrow it." "We spent the night there." "Why didn't you take him to yours?" "I was scared my husband would come home." "Was it the 1st time she left you the flat?" "Yes." " Did your husband find out?" " I guess." "He's the head of an intelligence agency, the NHI." "Could he have had you followed?" "If he knew of the affair, could he have taken it out on your friend?" "Do you think he's capable of ordering a murder?" "No, no." "I saw Landowski's assistant." "She's furious with you." " Why?" " You didn't call her back." " Shit." " Call her." "Yes." " Véra Musil?" " Yes." "Shit, Martin." "Who's speaking?" "Commissioner Martin." "My ex-wife gave me your number." " Can we meet up?" " Yes, we should talk." "I just got back." "When then?" "At 8pm, is that ok?" " Where?" " Corderie street, the coffee shop." " Very well." " See you later." "See you at 8pm." " What was that call about?" " It was personal." "Are you joking?" "I'm guessing that you're making a big mistake." "What's to say she's not in it with her husband to set you up?" "What do you want to do?" "This is professional suicide." "Don't you give a shit about us?" "I understand." "I screwed up last year too." "I put a witness' life at risk." "I went beyond my rights." "If you hadn't helped me where would I be?" "One thing that has never changed is my trust in you." "I knew you would be there for me." "And you, you won't even trust me." "I trust you, but I don't need your help right now." "Shit, Martin." "Let me help you." "See you tomorrow." " Call Landowski." " See you tomorrow." "What an idiot..." "He's such an idiot!" "Good evening darling." "So?" "Did you have a good day?" " Do you know where I was?" " With your lover." "I was at the police station." "What have you done?" "What are you talking about?" "You killed Véronique." "Really, Véra." "Why would I kill her?" "Because she lent you her place so you could get fucked by a stranger?" "I'll tell the police." "Tell them what?" "That you followed me to Véronique's and you killed her to get revenge." "My finger prints aren't in the room where you fucked the cop." "My prints aren't over the gun they'll find if you go see them." "Yes, it's me." "I should have called back." "Did you find Hoffmann?" " No, did you?" " No, I saw his wife." " And?" " She confirms that you slept together." "That won't clear you though, it just explains your prints." "Good." "Anything else?" "What was your meeting with Hoffmann about?" "He's looking for a consultant and wanted my advice." "That's all." "Here's some advice, stay away from Hoffmann and his wife." "If one of them contacts you, let me know straight away." "What can I do?" "Nothing, if he doesn't want your help." "You're right." "It's too bad for him." "I'm stupid to be in this state." "He can die for all I care!" "That's violent!" "Are you that angry with him?" "I'm going to ask for a transfer far away from here, in a small calm town with my daughter." "Life will be easier." "Rent and food shopping will be cheaper." "Do you love him?" "Are you crazy?" "You're talking rubbish." "Your reaction is over the top." "It wouldn't be that bad or surprising." "You're alone, so is he." "You get along well." "No." "No." "I'm not in love with him, and he will never love me." "Why?" "Aren't you good enough for him?" "My best friend is dead." "I should only being thinking of that but..." "I feel so embarrassed in front of you." "What are you and your husband playing at?" "I was with him when Véronique Parant was killed." "What?" "You didn't know?" "No." "He didn't ask you to take me to the flat to leave my prints everywhere?" "No." "I swear he didn't." "He's manipulating you like he is me." "I think he ordered Véronique's murder." "He took revenge on her for helping me." "All that because she lent you her flat?" "Not only that, to get back at you too." " Did you say that to Landowski?" " No." "I didn't know you had met with my husband." "Do you know where he is now?" "He was at our house 2 hours ago." "Right now, he's perhaps in London or Geneva." "You talk as if he were a stranger." "We see each other less and less." "How long have you been married?" "10 years." "I met him in Washington." "Hoffmann was working in the French embassy." "Do you live together or apart?" "I asked for a divorce and he refused." "But you still wear your ring." "One day he said if I took it off, he would cut my finger off." "Nicolas doesn't joke, he has no humour." "So I wear it." "Convocation" "Hi, Vincent." "It's Martin." "I really need any information about a company called NHI." "It's run by Nicolas Hoffmann." "Anything you can find is of interest to me." "Call me back whenever you want." "See you later." " Yes?" " It's Marion." "Good evening, Marion." "Not too high!" "Calm down." "I've a daughter and I didn't break her." "Come on, little darling." " Going somewhere?" " No, I would have said." "I'm going to mum's." "Arthur has the flu." "Is that the guy that was in the car?" "Was that you?" "I wasn't sure." " You didn't recognise me?" " No." "It worries me because it's not a regular flu." "People have died of it due to complications." "I'm sorry for Arthur." "That's difficult with Rodolphe." "Does he live here?" "Do you mind if I get him vaccinated?" "Who?" "Arthur?" "No, Rodolphe." "No." "Why?" "People say it's dangerous." "Really?" "Vaccines save people." "You're right." "I'll make an appointment for him." " Are you ok?" " Yeah." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "And this Arthur..." "How long have you lived together?" "We don't really live together." "He was thrown out." "This is just temporary." "A flat share then?" "Yeah." "Isa made this?" "It's pretty." "Yes, Isa made that." "What are you doing?" "Stop." "That's all I can think about." "I want you to come and live with me." "Are you serious?" "I'm doing it badly but I'm serious." "You didn't want me and now you've changed your mind." "That isn't how it was." "You didn't want to anymore." " Please." " We should go." "Do you love him?" "That's none of your business." "You can tell me, I will understand." "We're off." "My mum will be worried." " Look after your flatmate." " Yeah." "If I ever get this flu, you'll look after Rodolphe, right?" "If you come here, you'll be safe." "Yes, Marion." "What's going on?" "Are you crying?" "What's going on?" " Is Rodolphe ok?" " It's Arthur." "He's dead." "That's cool, now you're free." " Hello?" " Commissioner Martin?" "It's Véra Musil." "What's wrong?" "Can you come to mine?" " Now?" " Yes, please." "I live on 27 boulevard Exelmans." "Ok." "Thanks for coming." "My front door is blocked and I've changed the locks on this one." "Come in." "I don't want my husband to come in without my knowing." "Come this way." "Since I saw Landowski, I can't stop thinking about it." "She's right." "I think my husband had Véronique murdered." "What's that?" "I photocopied all the documents I could find." "Some are harmless." "I'm not an expert, but I recognise financial transactions." "Perhaps that can help to catch him." " You're risking a lot." " I know." "He has gone too far." "Apart from these documents and his jealousy, has he other reasons to want you?" "No, we don't have any children." "I'm rich, but he'll never inherit my fortune." "He just wants me." "He thinks I belong to him, it's as simple as that." "I'm sorry to have brought you into this horrible mess." "What does he want?" "He wants revenge on you." "That's all." "It's awful to be constantly scared, not being able to speak to anyone," "feeling spied on all the time." "I would have liked to spend the night with you." "Thanks for coming." "Envelope for you in the warden's letterbox at 27 boulevard Exelmans" "Yes." "What the hell are you doing there?" "Véra Musil called me." "You should have told me." "I told you to keep out of it." "I will have to take you into custody." "Go get the envelope and we'll talk face to face." "I want to see you tomorrow morning." "Good night." "He wasn't here." "We got nothing out of the lawyer." "Ok, we'll have to find another way." "Come on." "It's done." " Good evening, darling." " What are you doing here?" " How did you get in?" " Don't be stupid." "I had a set of keys even before the locks were changed." "It's over, Nicolas." "No, it's over when I say so, and not before." "I wanted to see you before I left again." "Come here." "Don't make me go and get you." "What did Commissioner Martin want?" "Did you call him?" "Did he fuck you?" "It's not such a bad idea to bag a cop." "Take off your robe and lie down." "Shit." " Yes, Marion." "You ok?" " Yes." "I wanted to let you know that my mum called and our son is fine." "And... it was good seeing you." "I liked seeing you too." "I've got to go." "The newsroom conference starts soon and I have lots to do." "Ok, well go ahead." "Kisses." "Thanks for calling." "That's ok, bye." "We just got a call." " Hi." " You ok?" " Yes." " Your holidays?" "Too short, but I had a great time." "An Amnesty representative has been found dead in his hotel." "Hello?" "Ah yes, shit!" "Ok, I'm coming." "Jeannette, Landowski wants me." " What's going on?" " I'll let you know." "I can't reach Hoffmann and you're telling me that his wife thinks he ordered the murder of Véronique Parant." "She told us the opposite." "What's going on?" "Perhaps she thought about it." "Perhaps you're being set up." "But a judge could think you're messing with the truth." " I can't help it." " You can behave." "I hope you're not hiding anything." "As soon as I saw Véra Musil, I called and left you the documents." "I gave a copy to the finance squad." "There seems to be nothing suspicious." "According to his wife it's worth looking into." "Just to be clear, this is not your investigation." "Don't see that woman again, go on leave and wait for the judge's call up." "I want you to go home now." "Ok." "Can I have a copy of the file?" "Get out of here." "Armony, I'll call you back as soon as I can." "See you later." "He fell head first." "That's very rare for suicide cases." "Could it be an accident?" "I would be surprised." "The rail is too high for him to fall accidentally." "Even drunk." " Did anyone hear a scream?" " Not the other rooms." "I haven't interviewed the employees yet." "He was most likely unconscious or dead before the fall." "Ok." "Let's consider this a homicide then." "Let's start." "You're saying Commissioner Martin lied?" "I don't understand." "I think he misunderstood what I said." "He said he was with my husband when Véronique was killed." "Is that all you wanted to know?" "Can I go?" "We can see on our files that you were attacked twice in the last 2 years." "Yes." "You were quite injured." "Why didn't you file a complaint?" "Why bother?" "You would never have found them." "Your statements were vague and conflicting." "I had just been attacked." " Does your husband beat you?" " No." "Why would you say that?" "Be careful, Mrs Musil." "You're playing a dangerous game." "Extra dangerous." "You're lying but that won't protect you from him." "We can offer you protection." "Protection?" "I don't need protection from Nicolas." "He protects me." "He has a whole army working for him." "Why did you give that file to Commissioner Martin?" "What file?" "Ok, good." "I should stay away then?" "I met her by chance." "Thanks a lot, Vincent." " So?" " It's most likely a homicide." "How did it go with Landowski?" "She kindly asked me to go on leave." "I'm summoned to head office." "That's logical seeing what's happened." "Well, I'll leave things up to you." " See you later." " Yes." "Bye." "You didn't need to pile it on." "When you're a cop, you don't sleep with just anyone." "Or else..." "What great values!" "He's a cop not a priest." "Otherwise you expect shit to hit the fan." "Stop being paranoid." "Why do you always defend him?" "Are you in love with him?" "Yes, Bélier?" "I've just finished my preliminary report." " Are you coming?" " No." "Tell Jeannette about it." "I'm on leave." "Did they suspend you?" "No, but it feels like it." "And you believe her?" "No." "She's under Hoffmann's influence." "She's terrorised." "She's dealing with psychological and physical violence." "That's obvious." "He found out about the documents, he must have been crazy." "I bet he was the one who attacked her." "You can't really count on her." "There's nothing more volatile than a beaten woman." "Yesterday, she asked me to stay." "I should have stayed." "I bet he turned up and that's why she retracted." "What would have happened if you came face to face with him?" "You would have killed him." "She would be well sorted, if you got rid of her husband." "Broken hyoid bone, petechiae on the cornea." "So he was strangled before being thrown?" "He was tortured before being strangled." "I saw his photo." " He wasn't bad looking." " Oh yeah?" "A bit old for my taste but not bad." "He wasn't bedridden though." "For me, he was too old." " Do you have the time for a drink?" " Yes." "Well, let's go." " Can I speak with you?" " Is it urgent?" "Can I have a prescription?" "I can't give out prescriptions like that." "And what for?" "Come in." "Sit down, tell me what's going on." "I prefer much younger men." "Oh yeah?" "I'm with a 28-year-old at the moment." " It won't last." " Why?" "At 30, men look to settle down." "That's sad." "Why is it sad?" "Yeah, you're right." "To love!" "I prefer my love life to Martin's messed up one." "Is he in love?" "Did he tell you?" "He fucked a random girl and now he's in traumatic shock." "What traumatic shock?" "I've drunk a lot." "Actually, I want another one." "Flora, same again please." " Tell me." " Yes?" "Thanks." "Are you hiding something about Martin?" "What are you saying?" "I was there for your fight on the phone." "Do you think he had something to do with the murder?" "No." "Are you and Martin hiding something from Landowski?" "No." "So all's well." "Hello." "Yes." " Problems?" " Speak of the devil..." "Landowski wants to see me." "Flora..." "No, no." "I've got it." "I can't stop thinking about her." "I don't know what's happening to me." "When she was alone, you were ok with the separation." "Now she's with another man, you can't live without her." "It's textbook." "It's jealousy, vanity, whatever you want to call it, but not love." "I do love her." "I never stopped loving her." "If she comes back, I'm worried it won't work out again." "I'm scared we can't manage it." "That would depend on you, and what you're ready to do." "I want her back." "I miss her, I miss my son." "I miss my life with them." "I'm certain she'll refuse." "You've got to fight in this life." "Try and you'll see." "I'll give you a prescription but I think what you really need is to talk." "You can talk to someone else, or you can talk to me." "My private practice is just here." "Is this an official convocation?" "Not yet, but it could be." "Your boss messed up." "He interfered in my investigation." "He's messing us about." "Do you know what he's up to?" "No." "Listen, I know he's hiding something from me." " You obviously know what." " I don't." "That's a shame." "Could you try to..." "To...?" "To make him talk?" "Stop dreaming, I can't do that." " That's not my job." " Loyalty is nice, but it's limited, Beaurepère." "You're wrong about everything." "If Martin's being funny, it's because he has personal problems." "What sort of problems?" "I don't know." "We're not sleeping together." "Ask him." "I've warned you." "If he drags you into his mess don't come crying to me." "I've met a charming man..." " Hello?" " Hello?" "It's me." "Sorry to bother you, but have you seen Isabelle recently?" " At lunch." " With the baby?" " Yes." "Why?" " I just wanted to know." " Is she ok?" "Yes, I just can't reach her." "That's normal." "Did you leave her a message?" "Yes, yes." "Are you calling to see if we'd seen each other?" "Do you have something to ask me?" "No, nothing, that was all." "Sorry for calling so late." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "He's clever, he's not silly or tight." "Isa, it's shit when you don't answer." "I wanted to see the end of the film." "That's not bad." "Have you got something to tell me?" "How are you?" " Very well." "You?" " Yeah..." "What about the shop?" "It's good, yeah." "I thought he would get over it after puberty." " Yes?" " It's me again." "Sorry to bother you again." "I got Isa." "It's all good." "Everything's fine." "Are you ok, Martin?" " Yes, fine." " I can't hear you well." "Are you at yours?" "I'm in the street." "Undercover?" "Yes." "Can we meet up tomorrow?" "If you want." "Come and get me at work at 6pm?" " Ok." "Let's do that." "Kisses, goodnight." "Goodnight." "If I hadn't come down, would you have stayed there all night?" "Why did you want to know about Isa?" "Is something wrong?" "Hey!" "Why?" "I don't know how to get you back." "I think this might interest you." "You had him followed?" "Why?" "That man means nothing to me." "You're lying." "But it's not important." "She's called Marion Delambre." "She's 35 and a journalist." "They had a child together." "But they don't live together." "So?" "How do you want me to react to that?" "I said I would never see him again." "I want you to see him again." "You want me to sleep with him?" "Tell him his life is at stake." "He belongs to me, he has no choice, like you." " Do you understand?" " Leave me out of this." "It's too late, Véra." "Now tell me about your interview with Landowski." " Hi." " Hi." "He was gay." "What?" "He secretly brought a guy into his room." " Can they describe the guy?" " No, they only saw his back." "It could change things." "A sex game may have gone wrong." "Yes, why not?" "His partner strangles him to turn him on." "Müller dies, so to cover it up, he throws him out the window." "That could work." "What more do we know about him?" "He's an Argentinian lawyer and a South American member of Amnesty." "We've got to find out what he was doing here." "Fucking." "Olivier, he might have been here for work." "There's more to life than that." "Let's call Amnesty and the ministry of foreign affairs." "The ministry of foreign affairs?" "Those tight arses would rather die than help us." "Nothing suggests this is from Hoffmann." "Photos taken with a telephoto lens then slipped under my door, with what's going on..." "Who else is it from?" "If we bring him in with no proof he'll be out in 2 hours." "I can't live thinking he'll attack my family." "Me yes, my family no." "You know what negotiators say?" "Any form of contact is an occasion to speak." "These photos are a form of contact." "Now it's your turn." "What does he want?" "Why does he need you?" "I don't know." "No one knows anything." "His CV is full of holes." "The CDHI have no idea who he's working for." "Do you know anything?" "Not much." "You see..." "Can I have a copy of that file?" "No." "I'm going to get a coffee." "Do you want one?" "What if Véra Musil ordered the murder?" "Did Landowski think about that?" " Why would she have done that?" " I don't know." "Perhaps Véronique told Hoffmann about you and his wife and Véra wanted revenge." "Where was she when Véronique was murdered?" "That's rubbish." "Véra's a victim." "I'm exaggerating, but how can you trust her?" "She says one thing and then the opposite." "She's taking you for a ride." "The one who's threatening me is not her but Hoffmann." "He wants to play by his rules." "What are you willing to do?" "Anything." "You're ready to give everything up?" "Your job, your ethics, your freedom?" " You won't manage." " What do you know?" "Go ahead, lose everything." "Then you'll end up in prison, or dead." "Until then, I'm on holiday." "Yeah, get out of here." "Hello?" "Yes." "Thanks for coming." "What do you want to tell me?" "And what did you say to Landowski?" "My husband asked me to meet you." "I had no choice." "What do you want?" "He thinks you're not taking him seriously." "Is that it?" "Is that the message?" "He doesn't want to hurt a member of your family if he can avoid it." "I'm sorry." "If I had foreseen this I would never have even spoken to you." "I feel like I'm living a nightmare." "I'm always scared." "I know you're wary of me." "Your sunglasses..." "Take them off." "Did he do that?" "Our last meeting is clear." "Mr Hoffmann, I got your message." "Call me back." "Shit!" "I'm sorry." "You smoke now?" "When I have to make a decision." "You're beautiful." "Sorry." "It's Jeannette." "Yes, Jeannette?" "Yes, Martin." "Sorry about before." "It doesn't matter." "Is that why you're calling?" "No, I wanted to know if you've got a contact in Amnesty." "The hotel victim is one of their lawyers." "An Amnesty contact?" "I don't think so." " A coffee?" " Yes." "Listen..." " I'll call you back." " Bye." "Bye." "Talking of Amnesty, are you on Müller's case?" "Yes." " Is it confirmed?" "Is it a murder?" " Apparently." "Is it connected to Medeiros?" "What's Medeiros?" "Müller was head of the South American NGO." "They just exfiltrated Medeiros, a leftist Brazilian deputy." "This guy fights corruption and aids." "He's involved in lots of social movements." "There's a price on his head." "I can see it interests you." "Yes, I'm interested." " I've got to head back." " Ok." "I'll call you." "Are you crazy?" "Next time I'll come snog you at your work." "Yeah, Marion." "It's me." " Yes." " Am I bothering you?" "Yes." "Can I call you later please?" "That Brazilian deputy..." "Could you tell me a little more?" "Read tomorrow's headlines if you're interested." "Can't you just tell me?" " Well..." " Please." "Arthur, wait." "No way." "Are you there?" " Yes." " What do you need to know?" "Elections Death threats" "Yes." "Go downstairs in 5 mins." "A car will pick you up." "It won't wait." "Did you think about my proposition?" "Don't bother, I'm not wired." "You're entering my territory, Commissioner." "There are rules." "Your wife's arse is your territory?" "Don't play this game with me." "I'm your only alibi and the gun that killed Véronique Parant has your prints on it." "Do as I say." "I will confirm your alibi and give back the gun." "Otherwise?" "I want to hear your agreement." "I don't have a choice." "The decision is a difficult one." "But you won't regret it." "What do you want?" "I want to know where Medeiros is hiding." "And I want to know quickly." " So?" " Nothing." "He was there." "He must have seen something." " What are you doing here?" " You know how to take a holiday." "How's the Müller case going?" "We're looking for his room guest." "It could be a sex thing." "I doubt it." "What about the Medeiros connection?" " What's Medeiros?" " This." "Can I have a coffee?" "Thanks." "Is this connected to Müller?" "You must dig deeper." "Medeiros is hiding here." "Müller organised all his arrangements for France." "That's why he's dead." "Rio man" "Alfredo Müller spent all his time fighting for human rights." "Our members can be as exposed as the people they defend." "He wasn't just murdered, he was beaten and strangled as well." "He had a room guest that we couldn't find." "Could it have been deputy Medeiros?" "Alfredo took care of his stay in France." "He booked a room in his name for Medeiros." "You hid this from the police?" "Do you know where he is?" "We need to question him." "You'll have to wait." "Wait for what?" "They're looking for him." "We underestimated his enemies." "We are exfiltrating his family." "This time we're taking no risks." "No one can know where he is." "Who is scared by Medeiros and why?" "He's the only one fighting corruption in Brazil." "Thanks to him, 600 people have been stopped and imprisoned." "Politicians, bankers, government workers, all corrupt." "He has a price on his head." "He's already escaped various assassination attempts." "The elections are soon, then the World Cup." "The world will be looking at Brazil." "This is a race against time." "If Medeiros' party wins, powerful people will have lots to lose." "We must question him though." " He might have seen the murderers." " He didn't." "Do you want to be held on obstruction?" "Go ahead." "You are good people, I presume." "But you've got bosses and colleagues." "If you've got a leak..." "I'm the one who's responsible here." "Arrest me if you want." "This has happened to Amnesty before." "In any case, I have no idea where he is." "You were right." "Medeiros was in Müller's room." " They wanted him." " She doesn't know where he is." " She was mocking us!" " I can't hear." " What?" " Nothing." "Olive was shouting, what did you say?" "I'll go see this Amnesty woman and find Medeiros." "Don't bother, she won't give in." "Does she know his life is in danger?" "And they can't protect him." "Did you tell her that?" "That's not their job either, shit!" "Should I give the file to the CDHI?" "No, it's our file." "If you can't manage, I will." "Ok?" "Bye." " What did he say?" " Apparently, we're crap." "I don't know what's going on." "Great." "I don't know what you want yet." "Because of you I'm stuck on the side line." "I need more time." "How are you thinking of doing things?" "I sent my two co-workers to Amnesty." "They didn't get his address." "I'll have to go myself." " Can you do better than them?" " Yes." "Well, I'll wait to hear from you." "But beware..." "I won't wait long." "What are you going to do?" "Kill my family because you can't get what you need?" "It doesn't work like that." "If you want me to work for you, you've got to trust me." "You'll get the address before tonight." "It's fine." "I've got what you want." "Get in." "Get in, please." "I'm in a hurry." "I'm meeting Medeiros in 2 hours." " Where?" " In Paris, in the 11th." "What did you do to get this meeting?" "I pressurised them." "I convinced them to put his protection in our hands." "Bravo, you put yourself out, that's good." "You didn't give me the choice." "What should I do now?" "Do what's expected of you." "Go to the meeting." "And... show him these photos." "They're his wife and daughter." "Tell him if he says and writes nothing, stays abroad and forgets about politics, an important sum of money will be put into an account for him in Switzerland." "Then, it's all over." "No." "This is just the beginning of a long and successful career together." "Of course." "Treat me like a prick!" "Hello." "Half a pint please." " The toilets?" " Downstairs." "It's me, are you ok?" " You ok?" " Yeah." "What are you doing?" "Do you want to have dinner at mine?" "I really can't." "Are you working late?" "I think so." "Right, well come anyway." "Don't ring." " The key is under the mat." " No." "Why?" " Anyone can get in!" " Stop it, Martin." "You're too cautious." " Listen, Marion..." " Don't worry." "I'll open the door for you." "That's a shame," "I'd like to wake with you coming into my bed." "I'll get there as soon as possible." "I love you." "For rent" "Drop the guns and lie down." "Drop the guns!" "I've got to get to hospital." "Tell me where Hoffmann is or I'll break the other shoulder." " At home." " Where's that?" "27 boulevard Exelmans." " Let's go." " I can't move!" "I said let's go!" " Is there someone outside?" " No one." "Ok, where's the car?" "Left or right?" "Left." "Open the boot." "Open the boot." "Go on, get in." "Get in!" "Shit!" " I'll die in here." " I'm not sure." "Don't move." "I said, don't move!" "Don't do this." "You're going to pay for it." "Oh yeah?" "Careful." "Nothing can hurt you now." "He's locked up in the kitchen." "Oh shit!" "Do you have a landline?" "Yes, in the living room." "Stay." "You need a hospital." "I'll call an ambulance, I'll be back." "2 injured at 27 boulevard Exelmans." "3rd floor." "Thanks." "Give me that." " Give it to me, Véra." " No." " It'll start all over again." " No, it won't." "He will be put away for murder and torture." "He'll be in prison for a long time." "If he gets put away, he'll pay wardens and murderers." "You don't know him." "Give it to me!" "What happened to you?" "I'll tell you... later." "I'm tired." "Come in." "Let's see, at 1am Véra Musil called for your help." " Do you have evidence of that?" " Yes." "Good." "You broke down the door and found her husband and one of his employees dead." "Yeah." "Véra Musil, Hoffmann's wife, was naked, and tied to the bed." "She was burnt, beaten and in a state of shock." "So she's not a suspect." "What happened between the two men?" "I wasn't there." "I'm just going on what Véra said." "Her husband admitted to Véronique Parant's murder." "He blamed her for the adultery." "He leaves the room and she hears screams and gun shots." "And you saved her?" "That's it." "That was very lucky." "Yeah." "I hope Landowski will believe that." "You were lucky he used the same gun for both murders." "That's logical." "He was crazy, he killed Véronique and tortured his wife." "Perhaps the bodyguard was sick of him, or his life with him." "There's some news." "Medeiros is due to appear in public with Amnesty, throughout Europe, now that his family is safe." "That guy's got balls." "I hope he wins." "Me too." "It's harder to kill a president." "Landowski is going to receive the forensic reports." "I hope it corresponds to your statement." "I hope so too." "Martin, Bélier wants to see you." " I'll go now." " Ok." "Nothing seems right." "The bodyguard bled a long time from his shoulder wound before dying of a gun shot to the chest." "He bled for too long." "I just can't piece it together." "I can imagine that he stabbed Hoffmann before being shot in the chest." "But how and when was he shot in the shoulder?" "I can believe another story." "One where Véra Musil plays a more active role, the deciding role." "For her to kill him she would have needed help, by immobilising him, with a pair of cuffs for example." "Right." "I read the doctor's report on this woman." "It's a full size book." "Her recent hematomas and burns are only a tiny part." "On her scan he found about 12 old fractures, the lower mandible, the metacarpus, radius, ulna, the humeral head and so on." " Did her husband do all that?" " Yes." "Why did she stay with that arsehole?" "It's simple." "She didn't want to die." "Tell me your story and I'll write my report to fit with it." "You don't have to." "How do you feel?" "I don't know..." "Better." "Better, yeah." "You look worn out." "Lots of things have happened since last week." "Did you speak to your ex-girlfriend?" "I spoke to her." "I spoke to her." "Did you tell her you love her?" "Yes." "I want to live with her too." "And?" "And... you were right." "We're going to try to make it work." "You're going to try?" "That's not hugely optimistic." "Are you scared of day to day life?" "Yes." "That's normal." "Everyday stuff is hard." "Especially because you're a romantic." "Romanticism is why you're a cop, even if you pretend otherwise." "Happiness to you, is protecting your princess from the dragon." "But you can't bring her a dragon head every day, to say, "Look, my love, I killed it for you."" "No, I can't." "That's the real shame." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Group"
