"No criminal on our files." "Shit." "Can you scan this print?" "No problem." "What's that?" "A girl who died 20 years ago." "She led me here." "What?" "If she died 20 years ago, we got a problem." "She's the one who shot at you." "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 of Judith Herault, who died in 1982." "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 two years Judith Herault attended that school." "She's one of these 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 daughter was killed by demons." "Demons...." "She has a major screw loose." "She's 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 misdemeanour." "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 check...." "To find something...." "But what?" "lf Judith is really dead." "Why?" "She's seeking revenge." "The nun probably faked her death." "And the prints?" "Fingers can be cut off." "The guy who shot at me had five fingers." "Why did he let you live?" "So I'd understand his vengeance." "What links the three victims?" "Callois was head librarian." "Sertys worked in the maternity ward." "Cherneze worked with the dean." "It all leads to the university." "I better get back." "What about me?" "See if Judith is dead." "I knew you'd say that." "I get the fun stuff." "Call me with any news." "What are you 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 of the college's last dinosaurs." "You don't seem to appreciate the geniuses you live among." "I don't respect intellectuals much." "Weren't your parents professors?" "I don't respect my parents much." "Take a left here." "is anyone expecting you?" "You're a lousy Don Juan." "Thanks." "No problem." "judith HERAULT" "Nice place." "I like it. lt's far from everything." "No TV, no radio even cell phones don't work." "A grenade?" "Thanks." "I use them to trigger avalanches." "Are all the locals like you?" "Battling mountains helps forge your character." "Same goes for cops." "Have you been one for long?" "Too long." "Buy lighter fluid." "I should." "But I'm trying to quit. lt was a gift." "From your ex?" "I never got married." "How about you?" "Almost." "With the Dean's son." "That could never work." "It sure was intended to." "After three years face to face in a reading room you get close." "Why do you hate the school so much?" "Why do you 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 of strangling someone for 10 minutes, eye to eye." "I have to go." "Thanks for the tea." "Hello." "Tell me about Remy Callois's thesis." "He talks about the myth of Olympus Greek athletes who combined mind and body." "He refers a lot to the Berlin Olympic games of 1936 when German athletes fuelled Nazi propaganda." "And "crimson rivers"?" "Flow with the blood of perfect men." "Blood?" "Veins...." "Commissioner." "You want my opinion?" "Seriously, his thesis is a potpourri of Nazi crap." "At the end, it's like "How To Be a Perfect Fascist."" "He explains how to create the perfect man today." "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 are you doing?" "You have no business here!" "What role did Callois play exactly?" "Excuse me?" "Callois." "Sertys." "Cherneze." "It all leads here." "What are you after?" "You suspect us, don't you?" "Victims can be guilty, too." "Watch what you say, Niemans." "I inquired about you." "You're on the razor's edge...." "l'd gladly put you first on the list." "All that's stopping me is the desire to prove you're behind it all." "Am I wrong?" "Am I?" "Stop it!" "Are you crazy?" "You'll be hearing from me!" "Can't I leave you alone for a minute?" "What did you find in the tomb?" "I don't know if it'll be any help." "GUERNON lt's not her." "You know her?" "She helped with the case." "She helped you?" "To understand the meaning of the "crimson rivers."" "They've lived in a closed circuit here for ages." "Inbreeding led the professors to start having degenerate kids." "So they needed new blood." "New blood?" "In the maternity wing, they replace professors' kids with healthy newborn mountain babies." "Sertys's father exchanged Fanny with Judith?" "And plenty of others." "What for?" "To create a superior race." "Nazis?" "A freaking Nazi college?" "Not a college." "A breeding ground." "Who the fuck is it?" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "It's bullet-proof." "Aim for the same spot." "Go on, shoot!" "Shoot!" "Watch out!" "Are you okay?" "Who's this bastard?" "The Dean's son." "What did he want?" "To stop us from knowing what they did to Fanny." "What could he do to Fanny?" "He was 10 back then." "He was exchanged." "He was seated with Fanny at the library." "He should have married her." "That was the plan." "So then why is she killing them all off?" "She refuses to play by their rules." "You think she's innocent?" "My coat!" "Hold on." "A Ia Niemans." "Who is this babe of yours?" "Lady Cliff-hanger?" "Shit!" "Are you still not sure?" "To think she brought me here!" "I could have seen it all." "She could have operated on you, too!" "She didn't want to kill me." "She left me alive." "What are you talking about?" "She left you alive, but three other guys didn't make it." "Your girlfriend's hobby is to cut up her boyfriends." "Why the treasure hunt?" "What are you talking about?" "She's a schizoid!" "A psycho-killer!" "She wants us to understand." "What's to understand?" "She wants to get caught." "Good news." "That's our job, right?" "Now we just have to find her." "That's our job." "What now?" "She took the grenades." "What grenades?" "Closed up like a fucking clam...." "Did you evacuate the college?" "I need an explanation first!" "It's not the time for explanations." "Evacuate." "This can't go on." "Who's up there?" "l go alone." "lt's everyone or no one!" "I'm going alone." "Everyone, freeze!" "Calm down...." "No one is coming." "Have you gone berserk?" "Give me that." "Trust me." "Lower your guns." "We have to go all the way now." "Leave her to me." "Down there!" "Fanny, turn around." "Come down." "This is the end. lt's over now." "I know who you are." "You know nothing!" "Stop it!" "I know what they did to you." "Exchanging newborn babies." "Killing kids. I know." "It's too late." "You can't help." "Go away!" "You led me here. I can't turn back." "Neither can I!" "Don't do that!" "They'll close down the college." "They're all dead now." "You'll kill innocent people." "They're all guilty!" "No one is innocent!" "Judith?" "Twins!" "They exchanged twins!" "Just one." "That's why her face was a threat to them." "Take care of her." "So who died in the car accident?" "What about the fingerprint?" "Mommy prepared it all." "The other girl was already dead." "Mommy planned everything." "Except your going haywire." "You thought you'd make it?" "I don't intend to make it." "Freeze, or you really won't make it." "Stop!" "Leave her alone!" "I'll trigger an avalanche." "Listen to me." "Stay away!" "The men who hurt you are all dead." "If you do this, they'll win." "Only you can stop her, Fanny." "You're not a monster like her." "Stop before it's too late." "l have no choice." "You do." "Stop!" "Kill him." "For our lives." "For those of our parents." "For the lives they stole from us." "Kill him." "Not him." "He's innocent." "Kill him!" "Do it for me." "For the life I never had." "A life in your shadow." "They created you." "And they rejected me." "Do it." "Kill him, Fanny." "Do it!" "You wanted him to understand." "You can't do that." "It's you and me." "You and me." "Go on." "Go on!" "Don't." "You're not like her." "But I am." "Kill him!" "Do it!" "You had to understand, so no one could forget." "I know." "Hurry!" "Take her feet!" "That's enough. I'm fine." "Thanks, doggy." "That's enough." "I've had it!" "Can I ask a question?" "What do you have against dogs?" "It was a long time ago...."
