"Hail Mary, the Lord is with thee." "Good, Galeon." "It's time to pay up." "ORIGINS" "TREASURE ISLAND" "That's not the victim you're here for." "Beautiful cross." "All wood." "From the 17th century." "The parish's priest," "Diego Mireda, shot in the heart." "How terrible!" "Why would anyone want to kill a priest?" "He was holding this." "Apparently, the killer took the rest of it." "You want to know what it is, and if the theft is a motive." "First of all, it's not paper, it's parchment." "I'd say 17th or 18th century." "What language is it in?" "Hold on." "They look like Masonic figures." " What?" " It's a coded alphabet." "They used the Templars' numerology to create it." " Why did he have it?" " No idea." "But I've already seen it somewhere." "Come here!" "Come on!" "Me cago en tu puta madre." "It's Spanish." "But I won't translate." "It would shock you." "How will you question it if you don't speak Spanish?" "Cabron!" "June 2, 1754," "July 10, 1620, August 3, 1425," "April 6, 1743." "You're specialty is pre-21st century, right?" "Your witness." "That is, if you can make it obey." "Is that the only witness he found?" "No." "He's with the parishioner who found the body." "She spent an hour with the sketch artist." " What's her name?" " Isabelle Doucet." "That's her." "Does this look like him?" "Yes, that's him." "He bumped into me as I was entering the church." "Poor Father Diego." " The same parchment?" " Yes." "When's it from?" "May 1982." "A macerator says he inherited it." "What's his name?" "Aside from Dédé, I don't know." "How did the parchment get from Dédé to the priest?" "Is the journalist alive?" "Henri Perbelle." "I'm meeting with him in an hour." "Anything else?" "No, Assistant Laurent." "Good work." "Mr. Perbelle?" " Ms. Laurent?" " Hello." "Souvenir from an assignment in former Yugoslavia." "Luckily, I'm left-handed." "How can I help you, Ms. Laurent?" "Well." "It's about... this article." "One of my first jobs." "The man it's about, you never mention his name, only his nickname, Dédé." "What was his real name?" "I never found out." "He was paranoid, worried about anonymity." "He refused to do the interview at his house." "Why was he so concerned?" "He thought the parchment was... the main piece of a Masonic conspiracy." "You see the type." "The title alludes to an inheritance." "Who did he inherit from?" "I don't remember, it was so long ago." "I think it was family, a distant cousin or..." "I'm sorry, I can't help you more." "Bible..." "Bible..." "Liturgy book, missal..." "Another liturgy book." "This is the priest's idea of fun?" "I have a strange feeling about our victim." "The parrots, the piece of parchment..." "Who are..." "Captain du Plessis." "Is Father Diego OK?" "How long have you been his cleaning lady?" "Since he got here, 4 months ago." "You don't seem surprised by his death." "Actually..." "I feel guilty!" "One morning, last month," "I saw him with a black eye, bruises everywhere..." "A fight?" "With whom?" "He wouldn't say." "I took him to the hospital." "He had a broken rib, but refused to press charges." "I should've reacted." "Have you ever seen him here or at church?" "Are you asking me because he's black?" "He was seen at the crime scene." "What kind of man was Father Diego?" " I didn't know him well." " You didn't like him." "Am I wrong?" "I don't want to speak ill of him." "He'll forgive you." "He knows you have to answer." "Do you see this?" "I took it off while cleaning." "I put it on the mantle." "I went to clean the kitchen." "When I came back, Father Diego was holding it." "Why is that bad?" "He put it down quickly." "Like a thief!" "I was careful after that." "Strange priest, no?" "I'll ask the diocese if they know anything." "Shouldn't you go through the DA for that?" "Hello?" "Angoulême police." "There's a complaint against someone resembling our Identikit." "A male nurse." "OK." "Thanks." "March 2, 1744," "June 4, 1742," "January 29, 1551," "April 1, 1339," "March 11, 1700," "December 25, 1748, March 2, 1744." "June 4, 1742, January 29, 1551," "April 1, 1339..." "Is this the meeting with the journalist?" "Go ahead, laugh away!" "I saw Henri Perbelle." "War hero, but terrible informant." "I know nothing more about Dédé." "I'm stuck." "That rarely happens to you." "You might have more luck with this." "Stuffed parrots?" "At the priest's?" "Strange." "Could you translate the document?" "Not really." "I translated each sign." " This is a C, an X, an E." " They don't make words?" "No." "The author used a coded alphabet and cryptic language." "He must've been protecting a big secret." "The parchment was probably very precious." "Coveted by at least one person." "Did you press charges against him?" " Yes, he's the one." " OK." "What happened?" "He was inquiring about a former employee." "I refused to answer." "I was paged for an emergency so he stole my files." "What a nerve!" "When was this?" "Last week." "Who was the employee?" "Rose Lahoussaye, the victim's cleaning lady." "She worked at the hospital until 1999." "This guy... wanted information on Rose." "Estupido!" "Estupido!" "Hijo de puta!" "Hijo de puta!" "I already told you I don't know him." "Why was he looking for me?" "Investigation Files" " What's this?" " I was hoping you'd know." "Am I suspected of something?" "Where were you yesterday between 11am and 1pm?" "Keeping quiet won't help, Mrs. Lahoussaye." "I do the Lamberts' ironing, in Saint Gracieux." "A cash-in-hand job." "Will they get into trouble?" "How long have you lived in France?" "I came when I was 17, through the Bibidom." "Bibidom?" "Do you have family in Martinique?" "I never went back." "Excuse me." "Margot?" "Sorry." "Unbelievable!" "That was an old friend of mine." "A catalog of stuffed birds that have been auctioned." "Look at page 44." "Auctioned off last year." "The priest bought them?" "I don't know, but the sale was in Martinique." "That's where they're from, like Rose." "Maybe the Identikit man is too." "Something escapes me about Rose." "Her alibi is solid, but our suspect wants her." "What's a Bibidom?" " Rose mentioned it..." " You didn't ask for fear of seeming stupid?" " I can't afford to appear weak." "The Bibidom is the Creole name for BUMIDOM." "Office for the Development of Overseas Migration." "Ever wonder why so many West Indians work for the French civil service?" "BUMIDOM was set up in 1963 by the De Gaulle government." "There was high unemployment in the West Indies." "They were lured with the promise of training and jobs." "I still have BUMIDOM'S archives." "A ministry's archives?" "Is that legal?" "Never mind!" "I was just saying..." "OK." "Find out what you can on Rose." "It's Stavros." "Should I pick up?" " Yes?" " Hello." " Hey, Du Plessis..." " What?" "What have you done do get him so upset?" "Why did you go and ask the diocese that?" " Is the bishop resisting?" " Don't start with me." "Like an army, the Church protects its flock." "In this case, it's right." "Father Diego is a victim, not a suspect." "There are some gray areas around our victim." "He didn't press charges after the attack." "Captain understands perfectly, sir." "Oh yes..." "Diego!" "Diego!" "Oh yes..." "Diego!" "Diego!" "Diego!" "It's not an act of contrition." "Father Diego had a mistress." "Good luck telling the bishop..." "It might be help if you say that Diego Mireda wasn't a priest." "It's in line with his behavior." "His liturgy books in the rectory were brand new." "A priest his age has no use for them." "Someone wanting to seem like a priest, does." "Are his fingerprints in the database?" "Nothing here, but maybe in Venezuela." " I'll check with Interpol." " Thank you." "Any leads on the mistress?" "Nothing from the search." "Our priest was very discreet." "Yes, but she wasn't." "Oh yes!" "Yes!" "Oh yes, yes!" "Yes, yes!" "Yes, Diego!" "Diego, yes!" "Yes, Diego!" "Yes!" "Oh yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Oh yes!" "Diego!" "I think Ms. Laurent is questioning her witness." "Isabelle!" "Isabelle, I love you." "Mrs. Doucet." "That's the woman who found the body." "Isabelle Doucet." "Muchas gracias, Galeon." "It's true." "Diego and I saw each other." "But a priest, that didn't..." "When can we talk again?" "No need." "It's about the priest's death?" "Last month, I went over to beat him up a bit." "A bit?" "He had a broken rib." "I didn't mean to." "I had just found out about them." "I was mad." "But I didn't want him dead." " Where were you yesterday morning?" " Here." "I was off." "I'm a truck driver." "I was with him." "He was gardening." "It's understandable to defend him." "But your word is in doubt." "Ask the neighbor." "She's always spying on us." "We were over this crises, I swear to you." "He had no reason to be mad at him." "If you were over it, why did you go to church?" "To tell Diego it was over." "Georges Doucet is cleared." "His neighbor confirmed." "And his wife?" "She left home at 11." "Reported the crime 12:17." "She had time to shoot the priest." "The café manager saw Mrs. Doucet at church at precisely 12:15." "Did he eat a clock?" "No!" "The church bells had just rung." "The DA got a fax from Caracas." "You were right about him." "He had several IDs." "All fake?" "Different names, but the same picture on them." "He's wanted for fraud in Brazil and Venezuela." "He's French to the Brazilians, Italian to the Venezuelans." " We don't know who he is." " No!" "Margot..." "What a mess!" "Careful!" "Your bum..." "You almost hurt yourself." " BUMIDOM's archives?" " Exactly." "It's the Crouy center, outside of Paris." "It's where Rose stayed, and was trained when she arrived in France in 1967." "She's on this register." "How old was she?" "17." "As she was a minor, she had to provide the consent of her father, Aurelien." "It's a child's handwriting." "Actually, she wrote it." "They didn't check?" "They didn't care." "They needed the manpower." "But this is bad." "Rose had a baby." "Sophie Lahoussaye, father unknown." " Rose left with her?" " No, that wasn't allowed." "Family reunification began in 1970." "Rose put in a request in 1971 to have her come." "Strangely, nothing happened." " And you know why?" " No." "Where is Sophie?" "She was in Fort-de-France." "She has a son, Frederic, 22 now, student in philosophy, in Poitiers." "Here's his picture." "And our Identikit." "Rose's grandson." "The priest was already dead." "I should've called the police." "But..." "I don't know..." "Why were you at the church?" "Looking for my grandmother, Rose Lahoussaye." "At her old house, in Angoulême, they said she was at St Gracieux." "I went, but no one was there." "So I went to the church, to see the priest." "And you found him dead?" "Rose Lahoussaye, do you know her?" "Does she work at the rectory?" "We're investigating you for a crime, and all you can talk about is your grandmother?" "I swear it's true." "Does this look familiar?" "No." "No." "He's sincere." "Yes, or very clever." "About the parchment, I agree." "He seemed sincere." "As for the rest..." "He was relieved to tell me about his grandma." "There's got to be something he doesn't want to say." "But does the grandmother have anything to do with it?" "Face-to-face." "It'll be enlightening." "Grandma?" "It's the letter you sent to Aurelien, in 1971," "to ask him to help Mom come." "He kept it." "You're Sophie's son?" "My grandson..." "Why did Aurelien refuse to send Mom over?" "Because he didn't want me to leave." "No one knew I left." "Why didn't you fight?" "He had no right to take your daughter." "I would've needed a lawyer." "And I couldn't afford one." "I lied in the letter." "You said you were a nurse at Saules Hospital." "I was just a cleaner, but was ashamed to tell Dad." "I would've liked to be nurse." "That's why I believed the people at Bibidom." "But when I got here," "I was sent to a center outside of Paris." "It was so cold!" "I had never seen snow." "All I had were the clothes on my back, a dress, a cardigan, and 50 francs the neighbor had given me." "What good was the center?" "We learned to clean, cook, run a house." "And one day, two elegant ladies came." "They made us walk around, and then chose us." "It's probably better that Sophie stayed with my dad." "It would've been a hard life." "Do you have a picture of her?" "You look like her." "How is she?" "She died last year... in a car crash." "They obviously never met." "They're not accomplices, but that doesn't clear Frederic." "He was at the church, looking for her!" "You have the logic of a genealogist." "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time." "In criminality, that's usually unlikely." "Emotion is a risky judgment criteria, Assistant Laurent." "Yes, Astrid?" "Come in." "It was auctioned after the last heir of the Mouchets died." "What's strange is, since 1748, all these parrots including Galeon belonged to that family." "The same family for 200 years?" "What do you know about them?" "That's why I called you." "The oldest Mouchet I found in the 18th century," "Annabel Mouchet, was a sailor." "He was part of this man's crew." "A privateer." "Jean Lassalle AKA Lavisé." "He worked in the Caribbean." "He was sentenced to death and hung in 1748." "Since his death, according to a legend he hid some treasure, and an encrypted document that would help find it." "An encrypted document?" "So the mysterious parchment is the document?" "Yes." "Treasure is usually is coveted." "If our priest was after it, maybe he had a competitor, or an accomplice." "I doubt it's Frederic or his grandma." "Our murderer is on the run." "You want us to believe this, since you think Frederic is innocent." "Stupid!" "Stupid!" "Our friend doesn't like narrow-mindedness." "All legends have some truth in them." "Lavisé was a mason." "The document is encrypted with their code?" "What's the name of the person who bought the parrots?" "Antonio Riboli, an Italian." "I found nothing on him." "Antonio Riboli?" "There we go!" "Antonio Riboli." "That's one of the priest's fake identities." " See?" "I was right." " Don't get excited." "Our victim was interested in Lavisé's treasure, but we've no proof." " Thief, treasure..." "Margot is right, one can wonder." "Someone used to secrets." " Garnier!" " Yes?" "Back to the rectory." "Look for a hiding place." "Yes, Captain." "I'll go with her." "I'm good at that." "Stupid!" "While you're at it, take the parrot." "It's driving me nuts." "Would you please take the bird, Garnier?" "The hole, the hole!" "You're not searching?" "Yes, I am..." " Something's strange." " What?" "Here." "I feel something." "Holy cow!" "Good job!" " Gently!" " OK." "It might be fragile." "Incredible!" "The entire parchment." "It's incredible." "Incredible!" "Now we can see the signature." "The only thing that's not encoded." "Lavisé..." "If this isn't proof!" "The DA can't argue with this." "The problem is, he can't argue with this." "Look." "Frederic is in trouble." "I assume you recognize this." "My great-grandfather's house, in Fort-de-France." "You lived there until you went to college in Poitiers?" " Yes." " Father Diego knew a lot about your family." "This was found in his room." "This is your mother, Sophie." "Father Diego wrote her name on the back of it." "This is Aurelien, your great-grandfather." "And on this... it says Frederic." "That's you!" "Did you know him?" "Yes." "But he wasn't a priest." "How did you meet him?" "The guy showed up one night, at our house, last year." "I was with my mother and great-grandfather." "He threatened us with a gun." "What did he want?" "A piece of jewelry." "He mentioned a cameo..." "I didn't understand." "All I know is, my great-grandfather said that Rose had it, and was in Angoulême." "Then what?" "Faced with this lunatic and his gun, my great-grandfather told the truth." "What truth?" "He'd made my mother believe that Rose had died during childbirth." "When the guy left, my mother was devastated." "She had a fight with him." "She took the car." "The accident that killed her?" "That's right." "When I saw the dead priest, it was horrible." "I ran." "I didn't want to say..." "You had reasons to be mad at him." "Yes." "But I didn't kill him." "I swear." "After his mother died, he left home to come here." "And found the person responsible for her death." "That's a motive." "A good one." "But it doesn't fit with Lavisé's treasure." "What about the cameo?" "Rose has one." "And the priest seemed interested." "Crap!" "Where did we miss a step, du Plessis?" "Margot?" "What?" "I'm on my way!" "Drink." "Thanks." "Feeling better?" "Yes." "What time is it?" "6pm." "You slept very well." " Ether..." " Yes, indeed." " Galeon has gone!" " Really?" "He was there!" "Your attacker took him." "Why would anyone take a parrot?" "I don't understand this!" " I tried to translate the alphabet." " And?" "Nothing!" "Lavisé used a specific encrypting key." " And?" " Without the key," "I can't understand the message." "Could a piece of jewelry be your key?" "Jewelry?" "I don't know why the fake priest wanted this medallion." "It's nothing special." "Where's it from?" "It's been passed down for generations." "May I borrow it?" "Not for long." "Who's with you on this photo?" "Father Beauvais." "It was in the parish journal." " It's when he retired." " When was that?" "Before the fake priest's arrival." "Why?" "Our fake priest went to this parish, to be near Rose." "He wanted this." "But why?" "Galeon!" "Galeon is the key to Lavisé's message." "That's why they took him." "The dates he was reciting..." "That's our key!" "It's mathematically possible, but unlikely." "How could a parrot be the key to this document, if it was created by a privateer in the 18th century?" "Captain du Plessis will explain." "The dates are their dates of birth and death." "On average, parrots live 80 years." "The first 2 must've been Lavisé's." "Annabel, the sailor, got them after his death." "Then all of the parrots knew each other." "The oldest taught the youngest, right down to Galeon." "If I'm following correctly," "Lavisé's secret went through time from parrot to parrot?" "Yes, it's called oral tradition." "It might seem unlikely, but it fits with our clues." "I doubt the fake priest bought parrots for fun." "Don't forget, he had the parchment." "Alright..." "And this Frederic, what's his role in all of this?" "In my opinion, none." "Galeon's kidnapping and Margot's attack are proof." "Frederic was with us." "We can let him go." "Out of the question!" "He was on the crime scene." "He fled and lied." "However..." "Calm down!" "I must admit that your..." "lead on Lavisé's treasure is relevant." "You have 24 hours before we charge Frederic." "Is that clear?" "Desirable and intense, it shines like you in the night, when your lips touch mine." "What a welcome!" " Is that the parchment's message?" " A declaration of love!" "I deciphered it all night." "Look, it's on my desk." " I brought croissants." " Thanks, but I'm not hungry." ""The flame that animates you, forever colors it."" ""Because my loyal heart will be the treasure."" ""The secret that only you will find whose neck it's around."" "It's talking about the treasure." ""Whose neck it's around."" "I don't know, but I asked Astrid to dig more on Lavisé." "She's expecting us." "Shall we go?" "Yes." "Here's what I found." "And I enlarged this part." "It looks like Rose's cameo." "Yes." "Who is she?" "Marie Duvigny, slave on a boat Lavisé took over." "He liberated her in 1744." "How did Rose get this cameo?" "You lack imagination, young man, or romance." "A pretty prisoner liberated by a privateer." "It's like one of your novels." "Sister Astrid writes novels." "She's a beautiful writer." "Under an alias and all profits are for the convent, but I love it!" "You'll love it." "You wanted to know how the cameo made its way to Rose." " Why yes, of course!" " What?" "Marie Duvigny, the one Lavisé mentions in his message." "The woman he loved." "They had a child?" "A little boy, born in Fort de France in 1748, right before Lavisé died." "They weren't married, but he acknowledged his paternity." "So Rose Lahoussaye is Lavisé's descendant?" "To think it was a reunion between a grandson and grandma." ""Emotion is a risky judgment criteria."" " I don't think..." " Everything leads back to them." "Lavisé's treasure is their inheritance!" "When Father Diego threatened this family, it alerted Frederic!" "Frederic didn't attack you." "Rose stole the parrot." "And he killed the priest." "How ironic!" "I think they're innocent, you don't..." "Rose moved you." "You lost all objectivity." "Rose attacking you at her age?" "Watch out for women of a certain age, Captain." "And yes, Rose did move me." "Do you realize what a shitty life she had?" "Coming here full of hope." "Leaving everything for what?" "Imagine the loneliness." "It's not fair!" "To be stripped of an inheritance, that's a motive." "I would've done the same thing!" "A woman of a certain age..." "I know who was aware of the treasure hunt." "Isabelle Doucet, Father Diego's mistress." "I swear I didn't know." "Why were you at church?" "It wasn't to break up." "I didn't kill Diego, I swear!" "I loved him...for a long time." "When did you meet him?" "December 1981, long before my wedding." " What was his name?" " Thomas." "Thomas Blanchot." "I was 20 years old." "One day, he left." "I never heard from him." "I was very sad." "I got married but never stopped thinking about him." "A few months ago, he showed up at my house." "I couldn't believe it." "Did he explain why he had left?" "He accidentally killed a man, in a fire." "He had to run away." "He didn't want me to be involved." "This fire, after which he ran away, when was it?" "End of May, 1982." "Thank you." " Garnier." " Yes?" " You'll find him at this address." " Captain!" "Rose was not the first woman in the family to have her inheritance stolen." "When Lavisé died," "Marie didn't get the parchment back." "The privateer's sister took it." "That's how Dédé got it." " Dédé, whose name was..." " André Françon." "Died in a house fire in 1982." "I have the investigation files." "He had a witness." "He didn't die in the fire, but only has one arm." "The day I went to the church, the door was open." "It was 11:45am." "I went to the back, to the confessional." "I sat down." "He wasn't long." "He came 30 seconds later." "He sat next to me." "I gave reminded him." "It's time to pay up," "Father." "Henri?" "He recognized my voice immediately." "You recognized me?" "It's been a long time." "Sorry." "I didn't die in the fire." "I didn't want this, you know." "I'll pay you, I promise!" "That's funny." "That's just what you said 30 years ago." "But I've deciphered the parchment." "It took years." "Do you have it?" "Yes, of course, look." "I always have it on me." "That idiot had it on him." "Why kill me?" "In a matter of days, we'll find the treasure." "You'll have your share." " My share?" " Yes." "You haven't lost your sense of humor." "Be good, and repeat after me..." "And then..." "I heard someone." "I tore the parchment then I left." "I don't regret killing him." "He made me handicapped, and he killed Dédé." "He started the fire at Dédé's?" "Thomas, well, your Diego Merida, read my article about the old macerator." "He wanted the parchment." "I needed money at the time, so..." "You introduced Dédé in exchange for a share of the treasure." "The old man didn't want to sell." "He was livid." "Thomas insisted." "Tempers flared." "They fought." "Dédé grabbed a fire poker." "I wanted to separate them." "I got hit badly." "When I woke up," "Dédé was dead on the floor." "And the fire had spread." "Thomas was long gone, with the parchment." "A beam fell on me." "I don't know how I pushed it away." "I spent months in the hospital." "Months." "For 30 years, every day," "I dreamt that I was making Thomas Blanchot pay." "Every day." "How did you find him?" "Last month, my niece got married." "Funny how fate works in mysterious ways." "That voice." "He was there, in front of me, in his cassock, leading the ceremony." "He didn't recognize me." "But I wouldn't ever forget him." "Revenge..." "That might move a jury, but that's not your motive." "The treasure, right?" "It's obvious, isn't it?" "There's a price for an arm, don't you think?" "You were lucky." "He could've killed you." "You'll still have to put up with me." " Strange case?" " Yes." "And the treasure?" "Did Henri Perbelle find it?" "The killer is in jail, isn't that what matters?" " You're not curious?" " Margot has an idea..." "This should do it for the bird!" ""The secret, that only you will find whose neck it's around." The cameo..." "It was the last clue to the treasure." "1744 is the year that Marie Duvigny met Lavisé." "OK." "I'm operating!" "Here is the inheritance from your ancestors." ""The flame that animates you," ""forever colors it."" " It's a ruby." " Yes." "Congratulations, Margot." "I didn't do anything." "We should congratulate Galeon." "Thank you, Galeon." "Basta!" "Hasta la vista, baby!" "Subtitles:" "Eclair Group"
