"You know perfectly well what's going on!" "So..?" "You're keeping things to yourself." " I want to be sure." " Sure about what?" "Do you know who this is?" "Why didn't you shoot, paul?" "Why didn't you finish me off?" "So I couId get some answers." "Do you know who this is?" "Yes." "The girl with red hair who visited you in prison..." "Is she her daughter?" "Do you know where she is?" "Maybe." "Where?" "I want to see my son, paul." " Oh, yeah..." " I want to see him one last time." " He won't come." " Why not?" "Because we won't ask him to." "He won't want to and no one can force him." "Jérémie is like you, paul." "He needs to let go of the past before he can move on." "I know I can help him." "Bring him to me and I'II tell you all I know, I promise." "paul, the girl who came to the prison..." "Know what she said about her mum?" "She told me you'd killed her." "Witnesses" "Series created by Hervé Hadmar" "paul, will you bloody talk to me?" "The woman in the photo..." "Her name was JuIiette Le Roux." "And?" "She was from Le Tréport." "We knew each other as kids." "Then we grew up." "At 16, she became my first love." "It was the summer before I Ieft the area." " And in '96 she was found hanged." " Yes. 20 years later." " Did you see her again before then?" " No." "She hanged herself in a bunker while her three-year-oId daughter played on the beach." "Why did she hang herself?" " Do you recognise her?" " Why?" "In '92 you meet our four friends here." "The five of you get on well." "You go out partying together in the evening." "JuIiette's there." "You know her." "Everyone in Le Tréport knows her." "She's a lovely girl." "And she likes a drink." "How many of you fucked her?" "Two?" "Three?" "AII of you at once?" "Look, paul, you're a nice guy, but this is complete nonsense." "What are you trying to prove, exactly?" "Nine months later she has a little girl." "The first year or so, things are fine." "She doesn't kick up a fuss." "Then one day, she begins to talk a bit too loudly." "She comes to see you, to bother you just when you're climbing the social ladder." "If anyone finds out, your political career is over." "OK, everyone thinks she's off her rocker." "But you never know." "Someone might believe her one day." "She won't give up." "She becomes a threat." "Then, in '96, she's found here." "One of our four reads about JuIiette's death in the paper." "He realises you got rid of her." "He gets in touch." "It's Kremer." "That's when the blackmail begins." "paul, you can't say these things." "Let me finish." "August '97 October '99 June 2002..." "These are contracts between GECO and Kremer." "Kremer subcontracts the other three - Muse, Weber and LapIace." "They're not too demanding." "A few contracts here and there, a bit of cash..." "After all, they're guilty, too." "They were there." "Then, what with force of habit and the crisis, they get greedy." "Too greedy..." "So you get rid of them one by one." "Look, paul." "I couId sit here all day, listening to your fanciful tales." "But if you have no proof..." "Shit." "Can't we charge him with something?" "Like what?" "A parking offence?" "An unpaid bill?" "Let's face it, we've nothing on him." " There's no doubt about it." " No." "We only have names, dates, conjecture - no proof." "What about GECO?" "The fraud squad are there, checking their books." "We'II find something and he knows it." "Have you overplayed your hand?" "No, no." "Find VaIérie Le Roux." "Find her quickly." "Where are you going?" "What happened to her after her mum died?" "The usual - social services, foster home, then she ran away at 16." " Is that her?" " Yes, juliette Le Roux's daughter." "I feel as though I've seen her before." "Where?" "I don't know." "Here you go." " The coffee's ready." " Thanks." "I had 12 of them." "They brought me 12 kids in all." " little VaIérie..." " Thanks." "She was my last." "She was also the most distant with me and aloof." "She didn't get on with anyone except carl." "When it came to carl it was "hands off"." "Was carl one of your charges?" "Yes, he was one of my kids." "Did you keep in contact with her?" "As soon as she could, she left." "She was 16." "She came back a few times." "I've heard nothing since then." "This was her bedroom." " May I...?" " please, go ahead." "Whose room was this?" "It was carl's." "Give it up." "Don't move." "Put your hands up." "Hands in the air!" "Show me your hands." "Don't move." "Hands in the air!" "Get out." "slowly." "Come over here." "Now get on the ground." "Get down." "carl, you'd do better to talk to me now while the others aren't here and it's just you and I." "We know that it's you and VaIérie." "Now all we want to do is help you." "But we need to know where she is." "Do you understand?" "Where does she live?" "Does she live here?" "tell me where she lives." "Does she live alone?" "She promised she'd call me." " She promised." " OK." "will she call you on your mobile?" "May I see your mobile?" "Give it to me, carl." "Thanks." "Anything on it?" "Nothing much." "calls from a private number." "That's no help." "Fuck." "How's your mum?" "As well as can be expected." "She's resting." "Did they say why I wanted to talk?" "Yes." "What do you think?" "Are you ready?" "You can still change your mind." "I'm ready." "OK." "There's an empty chair." "Sit opposite your father." "Don't move the chair." "Keep your distance." "Do you understand?" "OK." "Listen to him." "You don't have to speak." "We've granted him ten minutes but you can leave when you want." "If he shows any signs of aggression, we'II come in and sort him out." "OK?" "OK." "You made me a promise." "I'm listening." "Of course, paul." "She first came to see me in prison just over a year ago." "In extreme psychogenic pain, she was completely traumatised." "It was only on her third visit that she even spoke to me." "She told me the story of her mum, paul." "She had loved a young man, long ago." "This young man had abandoned her and moved elsewhere." "She'd never got over him." "She also told me that, years later her mother had been raped by several men and that after giving birth to her she was murdered by the devil in a bunker." "A crime made to look like suicide." "One day, the young man returned." "Of course, by now, he was powerful and respected" "But the big policeman didn't do anything to catch the murderer." "Nothing at all." "It was as though, once more, he'd killed the woman who had loved him." "And just like that, paul, pain turned into anger." "It was then that she came to see me in prison." "Of course, she knows what I did and who I am." "She thinks I'm a monster, Iike everyone else." "But I'm a monster who shares a common foe with her paul." "What was she after?" "Inspiration?" "No." "She already had ideas." "She had one question who is paul Maisonneuve?" "Who is paul Maisonneuve?" "A man who cannot forget." "You used her." "AII she wanted was for me to find the killer and punish him." "You used her and her ideas as a smokescreen, so you could enact your own plan." "You couldn't stand that she'd be the one to get revenge." "Is that it?" "No, that's not it." "I didn't want you to escape unscathed, paul." "I didn't think she'd succeed." "But I was wrong." "Who killed the people VaIérie Le Roux dug up?" "I've no idea." "And I really don't care." "VaIérie..." "Do you know where she is?" "Nearby." "What do you mean?" "She's never been far from you, paul." "Is she like her mum?" "She's like every woman you've loved." "What do you mean?" "You know very well what I mean." "That was her plan, paul." "Get close to you find out what you were doing, what you were thinking..." "paul, pick up." "hello." " hello." " I'm after the girl who works here." "Laura?" "She does work here but she's not in today." " Does she live here?" " I think so." "Can I have her address?" " Who are you?" " Sandra WinckIer, LiIIe CID." "I'II go and get it." "How did you know?" "Fucking hell." "How about you?" "Gorbier?" "Yeah." " His son agreed to see him?" " Yes, he agreed." "I should have seen it." "I should have felt it." "She must have come to the rehab centre." "She somehow made a copy of the key and went to the storage unit to take what she needed." "That must be it." "It's her." "It's Laura." "I'II explain later." "carl..." "carl, can you hear me?" " carl..." " VaIérie?" "It's paul." "How did you find me out?" "VaIérie, where are you?" "Norbert's guilty." "He'II pay for his crimes." "No." "He won't pay." "I really thought you wanted to put things right." "He killed Mum and the others." "You let him go again." "No." "He didn't kill the others." " Someone did it for him" " I know." "Who was it?" "You know who." "hello?" "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "Are you at my place?" "Did you see the doll's house?" "Did you see the photos?" "You can see her smiling." "If only you'd stayed with her if only you'd loved her, too, the three of us could have lived there." " VaIérie..." " No." "What will you do?" "will you lock me away say that I'm mad, Iike her drug me, lock me up and forget about me like you forgot about her?" " I'm sorry." " That's not good enough." "I read her diaries." "I know everything that happened to her." "Do you remember the first film you took her to?" "You told her she looked like the actress." "An old bIack-and-white film." "Laura." "VaIérie..." "Where are you?" "She'II go after Norbert." "I'II go over there." "I must talk to him." "I'II be back in a bit." "At dawn, where you last saw her..." "No." "I told you, no." "Listen to me." "I need you, but not right away." "We'II meet later." "I'II call you back." " Where's Norbert?" " I don't know." "He was in his office." "I can't do it, Henri." "I took care of the others but not juliette's daughter." "Know what will happen if she talks?" "You'II go down for years, separated from your wife and girls." "Are we still tapping his phone?" "OK." "When did he last make or receive a phone call?" "Who?" "No, that can't be." "Thanks." "Shit." "hello?" "Sandra, I know who killed Weber, Muse and Kremer." " Who?" " It was Damien." "What?" "Laura sent Norbert a text 20 minutes ago." "He and Damien must be meeting her." "She's in danger." " Where's she meeting them?" " I don't know." "There must be a clue here as to the meeting place." "I'II keep looking." ""l am cursed, doomed..."." ""will he finally come and see his daughter?"" ""Come to the place where it all started - the bunker"." "paul, I know where they're meeting - at the bunker." "No, I won't wait." "It'II be quicker if I go across the beach." "Meet me there." "So, you're behind all of this." "You're the one digging up bodies." "What do you want?" "Do you want money, Iike the others?" "How much to forget your mum?" "silence..." "You don't want money, then?" "Do you want to stab me?" "I'II tell you what I told your mother." "There's a one-in-five chance I'm your father." "A one-in-five chance..." "But you still think, "It's him"." "Want to know what I think?" "Pieces of shit." "kill her." "We're done here." "Shoot, for fuck's sake." "I can't do it, Henri." "Finish her, Damien." "Damien!" "Henri." "Come on." "Come on." "Henri." "Shit." "Come on, Henri." "Drop your gun." "Drop your gun." "Damien, drop your gun." "It's me." "Come on." "Come on." "Lean on my shoulder." "That's it." "Come on." "Lean on my shoulder." "Lean on me." "Can you go a bit faster?" "Lean on me." "It hurts." "Shit." "Oh, fuck." "Come on." "Get up." "Come on." " Come on." " No, I..." " Come on." " I give up." "Come on, Laura." "Come on." "Lean on me." "I know you're here." "Come on." "Go on." "pull yourself up." "hold on." "I'm here." "I've got you." "Do you think you can manage?" "Put your feet in." " Laura, talk to me." "Can you do i" " Yes." "Go that side." "Use your hands." "Put your hands here." "I know you can hear me." "I'II make you a promise." "I won't tell anyone you're here." "Can you hear me?" "Can you hear me?" "We can't find a thing." "We don't know where they went." "Come on." "I'm cold." "Do you have any children?" "Yes." "How old are they?" "I have a little girl who's seven." "And I'm expecting a child." "That's nice." "Yes, it is." "Laura." "Keep talking to me." "Laura." "Laura." "talk to me." "Laura." "Laura, talk to me." "Don't go to sleep." "Laura." "I never agreed to this." "I didn't want to do it." "I didn't want to do it." " Do you want some?" " No, thank you." "Was it your idea to use the wolf?" "Yes." "Here." " Thanks." " I put half a sugar in." "Thanks." "Was the funicular here when you were a kid?" "It was built in 1901 ." "What's wrong?" "One day, you'II have to let go of your wife." "You scare me sometimes." "It's like you love her even more than before because now, she can't elude you." "She's not stopping you living, but you're stopping her dying." "You've got a cheek." "How so?" "Giving me a lecture..." "I couId give you one." "Your partner..." "Have you told him you're pregnant?" "A few days ago, I found out he was cheating, so..." "I haven't told him." "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "What will you do?" "well, I'II hand in my resignation." "Then, I'II follow your lead and try and remember the good times."
