"Ifshe died 20 years ago, we got a problem." "She's the one who shot atyou." "These prints are a perfect match with the ones on the gun, except for the age difference." "We need to talk." "So we talk now?" "Last night Sertys went to a cemetery." "Into the vault ofJudith Herault, who died in 1 982." "He couldn't open the coffin, so he tried misleading us with swastikas." "That night, someone broke into the elementary school and stole pictures and documents from '81 and '82, the twoyearsJudith Herault attended that school." "She's one ofthese kids." "How did she die?" "Run over by a truck." "They called it an accident." "But the mother told me something completely different." "According to her, her daughterwas killed by demons." "Demons..." "She has a major screw loose." "She's been in a convent since." "But I got the impression she wasn't telling me all..." "Did you grill her or have tea?" "I was investigating a misdemeanor." "I couldn't punch her to get her to talk." "She's a nun." "Your turn." "Tell me what's going on." "It's a treasure hunt." "Each corpse leads to the next one." "Let's say that" "Sertys, Callois and Cherneze are linked by an incident that happened 20 years ago." "Two days ago they learn Callois is dead." "We find the body." "They panic." "The past resurfaces." "They go to the cemetery and the school to find something out..." "to check something..." "But what?" "IfJudith is really dead." "Why?" "She's seeking revenge." "The nun probably faked her death." "And the prints?" "Fingers can be cut off." "The guywho shot at me had five fingers." "Why did he letyou live?" "So I'd understand his vengeance." "What links the three victims?" "Callois was head librarian." "Sertys worked in the maternityward." "Cherneze worked with the dean." "It all leads to the university." "I better get back." "What about me?" "See ifJudith is dead." "I knewyou'd say that." "I get the fun stuff." "Call me with any news." "What areyou doing here?" "Your colleagues held me for four hours." "Sorry..." "Everyone's on edge." "Want a ride?" "Sure..." "So Cherneze is dead too?" "Did you know him?" "One ofthe college's last dinosaurs." "You don't seem to appreciate the geniuses you live among." "I don't respect intellectuals much." "Weren'tyour parents professors?" "I don't respect my parents much." "Take a left here." "Is anyone expecting you?" "You're a lousy DonJuan." "Nice place." "I like it." "It's far from everything." "No TV, no radio, even cell phones don't work." "A grenade?" "I use them to trigger avalanches." "Are all the locals likeyou?" "Battling mountains helps forgeyour character." "Same goes for cops." "Haveyou been one for long?" "Too long." "Buy lighter fluid." "I should." "But I'm trying to quit." "It was a gift." "From your ex?" "I never got married." "How aboutyou?" "Almost." "With the dean's son." "That could neverwork." "It sure was intended to." "After threeyears face-to-face in a reading room, you get close." "Why doyou hate the school so much?" "Why doyou suspect me?" "You climb mountains." "You found the first body, helped me find the second." "You're the perfect suspect." "Except for one thing." "What?" "You're incapable ofstrangling someone for ten minutes, eye to eye." "I have to go." "Thanks for the tea." "Tell me about Remy Callois' thesis." "He talks about the myth ofOlympus," "Greek athletes who combined mind and body." "He refers a lot to the Berlin Olympic Games of 1 936 when German athletes fueled Nazi propaganda." "And crimson rivers?" "Flow with the blood ofperfect men." "Blood?" "Veins..." "You want my opinion?" "Seriously, this thesis is a potpourri of Nazi crap." "At the end, it's like " How To Be a Perfect Fascist."" "He explains how to create a perfect man oftoday." "How?" "By combining brawny kids with brainy ones." "By selecting them and marrying them." "It's called..." " Eugenics." " Eugenics, that's it." "Like Nazis tried in some villages during the war." "Like at this school." "Healthy minds... in healthy bodies." "What areyou doing?" "You have no business here!" "What role did Callois play exactly?" "Callois..." "Sertys..." "Cherneze..."
