"Leave my daughter alone!" "Let the other one go too, or I'll call the cops!" "I can't take it anymore." "Open up!" "No..." "Get in your room!" "Mommy?" "ROOM OF DEATH" "Shit." "BOlDlN YOU'RE A DEAD MAN" "What the hell have you written?" "Might as well leave your cell number!" "Let's scare the fucker." "Yeah, but that's going a bit too far." "Stop!" "You're spoiling my work!" "Leave it." "Let's get out of here." "Come on." "Let me drive." "Come on!" " No. lt's for sale." " Go on." "Give me the keys." "Go on." " Don't be an ass." " You know me. lt's OK." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Magnificent." "We used to come here with our Peugeot 103s, totally stoned." "Give me a sip." " Ready?" " Ready for what?" "No, don't be stupid." "You asshole!" "Please, I don't like it!" "Let's open this wreck up." "The train!" "Look out!" "The train!" "Put the lights back on!" "Fucking do it!" "Oh, fuck." "Shit!" " l'll call the cops." " No, wait." "We gotta think." "Gotta think." "Drinking and doing 110 in a 30 zone." "We'll go to jail!" "So we run away?" "No way." "We're calling." "You weren't fucking driving." "So we'll say you were driving!" "Get off me!" "Sylvain!" "It's fucking money!" "I don't care." "We call the cops and tell them." "Come on." "Where are you going?" "You're nuts!" "What're you doing?" "I hit the door." "You were driving." "Go on, call." " l'm trying to protect us." " From what?" "You're owed for 20 jobs." "You live in a dump you can't fix..." "What are you saying?" "Can you imagine life with money?" "Fuck... lt changes everything." "No more unemployment, interviews, bills..." " We don't know who this guy is!" " Who cares?" "A crook, a dealer who came to hide it." "We don't know." " lmagine a cop calling your wife..." " Leave her out of it!" "...'cos you killed a guy?" " Think about your wife and child!" " Shut up!" "Shut up!" "It was an accident." "We got to fill him up or he'll float." "Goodness me!" "is that what you want?" "Well!" "Chatting, eating, you're having fun!" "How's it going here?" "You got it everywhere." "Did you get it everywhere?" "Come on, then." "Let's have some more, then." "Are you coming down?" "I'll be right there." "Hello, my darlings!" "Hi, Mom." "It's their first Christmas." "Can't you manage to be there?" "They're 8 months old." "They don't care." "You got a date?" "is it someone from work?" "Why don't you talk to me?" "Open up, come on." "What's he like?" "Do I know him?" "I don't know how you can." "A year without a man..." "Unless you're hiding something..." "Goodbye, my darlings!" "Hi." "I'll be right back." "He's my rep." "Not bad, huh?" "Great!" "Say you got a transfer." "Then you'll know how she feels." "Hold on, she's here." " Thanks, Antoine." " Bye." "Oh dear!" "Did I hurt you?" "I must have, a little." "I'm OK." "So, where is it?" "There." "You're limping a bit." "Mr. Boidin." "B-O-l-D-l-N." "You know who did it?" " No." " Well..." "Yes?" "I mean, nobody in particular..." "We reduced personnel numbers in the fall." "It's hard." "For everyone, believe me..." " How many people?" " 7 1." "Quite a few, then." "I'll need a list." "Excuse me." "Yes?" "I didn't tell her yet." "We're busy." "Goodbye." " Don't forget the list." " Of course." "There's two styles, and one's been rubbed out." "Forget it." "Antoine called." "We have to go to Mardyck." "Lt. Moreno, Dunkirk police." "Put this on." "You can remove the body now." "What's Lucie doing here?" "She's due to start in January." "But with the holidays..." " Raphaelle knows?" " l'll talk to her." "You can expect my report." "I think we're OK." "I'll talk to the mom." "They got lots of prints and DNA traces from the surfaces." "The DNA's fine, but there's no useable prints." "But he didn't wear gloves." "There's grease, but only outlines." "He had no fingerprint pattern." "Must have burned his hands." "Perhaps." "Melody Cunar. 1 2 years old." "Almost invisible bruising." "No torture." "Died between midnight and 3am." "We'll know more after the autopsy." "When I first came in, I thought she was alive." "I went over to her." "She smelled of leather." "A strong smell." "Smiling at me." "Eyes wide open." "How d'you find her?" "Ms. Cunar, the mother." "Called the police at 4am this morning." "Her husband had a meeting here, to get her back." "He never came home." "Stan from the csi says he was hit by a car." "He thinks the driver took the body and the ransom." "2 million euros." "The worst thing is she was blind." "Couldn't have identified him." " Fucking gratuitous." " No, it was anger." "Imagine: the guy's about to pull it off when Cunar's hit, the money taken." "He blows his top, takes it out on the kid." "He must have seen what happened." "Why didn't he intervene?" "Too busy with the girl." "That's it." "He realized too late." "The driver's already going." "In his rage, he kills her." "Let's see where Stan's at." "Cunar parked there, under the wind turbine." "Then he crossed, heading for the cabin." "Given the marks, the car was doing at least 100, and caught him side-on, there." "I don't get how he didn't see it coming?" "Yet that's what happened." "Cunar saw nothing and he heard nothing." "Look." "According to the train company, 8 convoys took this line between midnight and 3am." "From here, it'd mask the sound of a car." "There's a very good chance there was a train going by at the time." "So obviously, there's the question of the headlamps." "I've gone over and over it, and it comes back to Cunar's position when he was hit." "He didn't see lights because they were off." "Exactly." "100mph and no lights?" "Yes." "Don't ask me why." "That's your problem." "I'll take care of how." "You can finish up." "One last thing..." "Most of the light fragments are gone." "Picked up, and the blood wiped up." "That's why I believe he took Cunar's body away." "He's meticulous." "The dogs'll confirm it." " Have a nice day." " Bye." "Goodbye." "Go back and check insurance companies and garages." "See you." "You OK?" "Can't sleep." "The phone rings and I think it's the cops." "Sorry." "They're not coming." "Get a grip, or Nat'll suspect something." "We fucked up, Vigo." "You gotta stop that now!" "What, we fish him out?" "It's too late." "Just think about the money..." "Yeah, we need to talk because my boiler's bust and it's freezing cold." "I fixed up the pipe on the coal fire but it won't last." "I need 3,000 euros." "We spend nothing yet." "You say the cops aren't coming but I can't get 3,000 euros?" "What's wrong?" "You think the notes are marked?" "It's not that." "We must be careful." "Take out a loan." "Anyone can get one." "That's totally dumb." "I'm screwed." "Don't you get it?" "I got an idea." "I'm coming over, OK?" " Hi." " Hey." "What happened to you?" "Hit my head on a door." "is Sylvain here?" "He's in the shed, fetching coal." "Imagine!" "In this day and age!" "These things aren't safe." "I know, but you know him." "He won't let my parents loan us." "He told me." "I hate to see you like this." "With the baby, too." "I had some cash saved..." "You're crazy!" "It's Christmas." "Don't worry." "I want to help out." "Pay me back when you can." "Thanks." "You took 3,000 too, right?" "No, it really was saved." "Yeah?" "Thanks, Vigo." "If the cops come, which they won't, they'll see the next day, the suspects took cash from the bank." "Want to see it?" "Kinda nice..." "What about the knife?" "Guardian of the treasure!" "Our Departmental Director for Public Safety" "Our Departmental Director for Public Safety sends his greetings." "But now, time for the gifts." "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Cheers." "Excuse me a moment." "Lucie?" "The autopsy confirmed the killer fixed Melody's smile." "Well done." "Thank you." "Welcome aboard." "You'll partner Stephane." "Sorry for the crush." "Next door's full." "Thank you." "We need to be brief." " Who'll start?" " l will." "Go on, Philippe." "He didn't wear gloves, so there are 2 reasons for the lack of prints:" "self-mutilation or accident." "Mutilation's one thing, but an accident... I got a list of factories using products that could do this." "Call them to check." "Tomorrow, OK?" "Tomorrow?" "Sorry, Thursday." "Your family's next door, right?" " Bye." " Goodbye." " Cunar." " Mr. or Mrs.?" " Who talked to the mother?" " Me. lt was tough." "Company boss, mergers, acquisitions, relocations..." "She fired 1 30 people last year." "And?" "The girl was taken Sunday night when her mom was out." "Dad's a plastic surgeon, he was in London." "When she got home, the sitter was asleep." "A note in Melody's bed said don't call the cops and find 2 million euros." "We found no prints and no DNA." "Dad got unmarked 100 euros bills from a Belgian account, and took it to Mardyck last night." "And the kidnapper took a dog, too." "The blood from the road was tricky, corrupted with unidentified molecules..." "But it's Cunar's." "The dogs lost the scent, so the body was taken." "And?" "We're continuing to drag all nearby ponds." "OK." "And the autopsy?" "Lucie, can you get the lights, please?" "She died around midnight." "Very light pressure around the throat, just enough to kill without too much effort, ruling out sudden anger." "Then, he stuck around to fix the smile and arrange the body." "She hadn't eaten for several days." "Note the hair, too." "Multiple lesions on the scalp, apparently due to intensive hair-brushing... until it bled." "Does she look familiar?" "No." "We found two foreign bodies on her." "Firstly, conifer bark fibers under her sandals." "Secondly, and saving the best until last, there were hairs on her clothes." "Wolf hairs." " Sorry?" " Page six." "A wolf." "Alive, or dead in the last two months." "I need to see the boss." "Look into it." "We meet in an hour." "Yes?" "So, the killer: vet, wildlife reporter, zoo worker, taxidermist, someone in contact with a wolf, chemist, scientist, beautician." "Check the chemical plants in Dunkirk." "No remorse or disgust." "Sordid staging: a ritual or a challenge?" "The leather smell:" "shoe-mender, tanner?" "For the driver:" "cold-blooded, methodical and some knowledge of lD techniques." "What else?" "The killer was close enough to identify the driver." "Maybe got the license plate, to get the money back later." "I think the driver wasn't alone." "Cunar weighed over 200lbs." "Too much for one man to lift." "And if he was alone, the killer'd have intervened." "Easier to kill a blind kid than 2 or 3 guys..." "Not bad." "We'll miss him when he's gone." "Lucie, any ideas?" "Perhaps." "Go on." "Can I see the photo again?" "Antoine, the lights, please." "I saw the kidnapper took some clothes." "Yes, I've got the list here." "A nightgown." "Shoes with buckles..." "This'll seem strange..." "Do you remember Annabelle dolls?" "Very popular in the '80s." "I had one..." "They had center partings, silky nightgowns, white socks, buckled shoes..." "You really think so?" " What is it, Claude?" " Nothing." "I just find this doll thing hard to believe based on a nightgown and white socks." "I'll bet Melody wasn't in a nightgown that night." "Kids usually wear pajamas in winter." "See the red ribbon?" "All Annabelles have one, over the heart." "Call the mom, check the nightgown." "If she's right, we've hit the jackpot." "A mad doll and wolf fan with no fingertips." "Get some rest." "Goodnight." "See her face when she heard you're going?" "No?" " Why?" " Bye." " You look wonderful, Mom." " You're late." " Sorry." " There you are." "Hey, bro." "What are you drinking?" " You have started already!" " We didn't wait for you!" "Here's to finding a wife." "I wouldn't mind..." "He needs a job, first." "Just kidding." "How's the job hunt going?" "Great, yeah." "Had a really good interview." "is that so?" "Why not join the police?" "We need guys like you." "There are a lot of hackers out there." "He's right." "Think about it." "Be nicer than the horrors I get." "What are you doing now?" "We found a little girl murdered." " Not a festive topic." " Change the subject." "Here, Mom." "Thanks." " Matches my dress." " Suits you." " lt looks nice." " Not bad." "Goodnight!" "Goodnight, kids." "What's that?" "Don't you remember?" "We played there as kids." "It's where the girl was killed." "Some fucker ran down her dad, and took the money." "He saw it all!" "The killer saw it all!" "The police won't find the driver, the killer will." "I'm the replacement cleaner." "Where's the equipment?" "In the cupboard." "Thanks." "Sorry." "Cute little guys." "Girls." "Sad to be apart at Christmas." "Keep it up!" "Thanks." "Antoine said you were on call, and you shouldn't be alone at Christmas." "Well, Antoine said that..." "Champagne!" "You showed us up back there." "I guess you didn't play with dolls much." "True..." "Cheers!" "Can you read this?" "I can't make it out." " What is it?" " The graffiti report." "Couldn't find a smaller notebook?" "What do you see?" "Sprayers... careful... to put... identify." "Oh, OK!" "They erased what we could have identified them with." "Oh, wait." "It's from Stan's report:" ""The drivers were careful to collect the glass that would identify them."" "So?" "Two sprayers, two in the car." "It's right by the wind farm." "Of course..." "Leave nothing to chance." "Got the lay-offs?" "I don't know." "Our daughter Eleanore's missing." "When did you last see her?" "She went to buy her medication at 7.30pm." "She's diabetic." "Stay with my colleague." "I'll call Raphaelle." "Come this way." "Thank you." " Where are the parents?" " The doctor took them home." "That dress is nice." "Thanks." "Why are you here on Christmas Eve?" "I was just passing..." "Eleonore Monfraix, age 1 2, diabetic." "Vanished at 8pm leaving a pharmacy, rue de Calais." "The pharmacist confirmed." "She should have joined the family at 1 2 rue des Faisandiers." "A 15-minute walk." "She's fallen sick before, so they checked the hospitals, then came here." "Do we call an Amber Alert?" "It has to be a confirmed abduction." "No." "Give the patrols the details." "They'll retrace her steps, talking to anyone out on Christmas Eve." " The parents?" " No link to Melody's." "They're working class." "Still: two girls." "One blind, one diabetic, both gone." "And a sicko on the loose." "What do you think, Lucie?" "Anyone home?" "I was asking what you think?" "It's the ransom." "It doesn't fit." "Not with a ritualized murder." "He let it go." "And that means it didn't matter to him." "He's got other things to do." "I think the guys in the car gave him a chance to satisfy a fantasy, something so intense that the money became secondary." "He must have enjoyed it." "So much, he'd want it again, soon." "And if it's the same person, and the money's not important anymore, he could strike... quickly, and at random." "Taking a blind kid is smart, but one who'll die without her meds..." "What did she buy at the pharmacy?" "Glucose for a sugar deficiency, insulin for an overdose." "She's OK for 40 hours." "So we got 35 hours." "Midday Thursday." "Who's in tomorrow?" "Antoine, Claude and me." "I wanted to check out the wolf thing, and I've an idea on the driver." "The driver's less urgent." "Not if the killer wants the money." "If we get there first, we have a chance to stop him." "Antoine and Claude'll do house calls." "He won't like it." "What about me?" "You, the profiler?" "You can hardly stand." "Come back at noon." "Give them the description and go." "Where's she from?" "She's amazing, huh?" "And you were just passing?" "May I?" "Of course." "I mean the missing person's memo 196..." "No, I wanted to be sure." "OK. I'll send one anyway." "Thanks." "I'd rather call them, to remind them not to forget the description." "When did you join us?" "Six months ago." "I'm very pleased you're here." "Thank you." "What are you looking for?" "I knew I'd kept her." "Aren't they a bit young still?" " You're not alone?" " Me?" "Of course not!" "Be careful, OK?" "Georges is here because Raymond is stuck with his family, so..." "Come and say hi." "My daughter - adopted. I say that because people ask about her father." "Lucie." "Georges." "A pleasure." " Nothing to drink?" " No thanks." "I'm working tomorrow." "A big case." "She's in love but won't tell." "Mom..." "So what's the "big case"?" "A hold-up." "A strongroom in Gravelines." "I'm tired, too." "Can they stay 'til tomorrow?" "Of course, darling." "Do they ever sleep?" "At night?" "Never." "Merry Christmas!" "You're telling me." "It's heating up." "I'll pick you up in 10." "Tell me..." "Lucie?" "Anybody home?" "Help yourself to breakfast if you want some." "I'll be right there." "Makes you think..." "Sends shivers down your spine." "It fascinates women and scares guys." "I got some softer stuff..." "down on the right." "Now I get it." "What?" "Given the books, why you feel so "involved"." "Can I ask what inspired it?" " What's up?" " We're going to the zoo." "Sorry?" "I've been checking files all morning." "The head of Lille zoo has reported two thefts." "A wolf?" "Yes, but not only." "In November, 8 capuchin monkeys were taken, the rest killed." "That's insane." "What about the conifer fibers?" "It was pine bark, the stuff you put in gardens to keep down the weeds." "Shall we go?" "kidnap ALERT listen TO THE radio" "Claude and Antoine spent the morning there." "A woman saw Eleonore get into a car at 7.45pm." "Oh yeah?" "The alert began an hour ago." "TV, radio spots, signs." "The whole shebang." "Ten to one." "So we've got... 23 hours 1 2 minutes left." "The zoo vet's waiting." "I'm interviewing the factory's ex-employees in Lille." "Remember the molecules in Cunar's blood?" "It was paint." "Same one as at the factory." "They wiped the blood with a paint-stained rag." "Antoine's got the list of lay-offs." "There are 7 1." "The drivers are among them." "Leave nothing to chance!" "Right." "Oh dear, what an unhappy baby we are." "Another girl kidnapped in Dunkirk following the murder of Melody Cunar, the tension is palpable." "The cases seem to be linked..." "Who is it?" "Aren't you going to answer that?" "is it your mistress?" "My mistress?" "Yeah, right." "Mr. Coutteure, Lt. Colin, Dunkirk police." "We'd like to talk to you about a crime at Thilliez Electronics." "Call me on 0326454800, or call in at the station as soon as possible." "Meet me at the station after." "Don't mention the case, OK?" "Wait..." "Here." "Hello." "I'm here to see Mr. Van Boost." "Hello." "Mr. Van Boost?" "That's me." "Sgt. Hennebelle, Dunkirk police." "They told me." "It's about the thefts." "I already told them..." "There've been some developments." "Animal trafficking..." "Come up." "It's great, isn't it?" "Listen, they're calling each other, communicating." "That's why I do this job." "Shut up, for Chrissakes!" "How were the animals taken?" "The thief forced that fence there." "Come up." "The little one down there." "See?" "Lean over." "Just in the corner, see it?" "Look there." "See it?" "Give me your hand." "Can you see it?" "That'll do." "I found anesthetic darts in the remaining wolves' flanks." "Tiletamine." "You can get it in pharmacies on prescription." "Which doesn't stop it being on sale in nightclubs." "A good buzz." "Try it." "And the monkeys?" "Knocked them out then bled them via their external iliac arteries." "Opened their chests and ligated their aortas at the base." "Right here?" "He's a real sicko." "He's totally nuts." "The sex of the mutilated animals?" "You're sharper than your colleagues." "He took the females, killed the males." "Does that ring any bells?" "A black widow!" "A black widow who mutilates males and glorifies females!" "Mr. Van Boost?" "Yes?" "Maubeuge Zoo gave me them." "Adorable, aren't they?" "What do you think he did with them?" "You were the one talking about traffickers." "You think they'd spend 2 hours mutilating?" "Think I'm dumb?" "Tell the truth!" "Why did you really come?" "Something weird with the wolf?" "Sheep with their throats cut?" "Calves, their blood sucked dry?" "Dissected bodies?" "That's it!" "Bodies with ligated aortas!" "Tell me!" "Where?" "Go on, tell me!" "On the ground!" "Take off your gloves." "Show me your hands." "What's up, Sergeant?" "Nervous?" "Finished gabbing on?" "I shouldn't say, but it may help:" "we found a dead girl with your wolf's hair on her." "So tell me what he was doing?" "There are crazy people everywhere." "I'll take you back." "Her clothes stank of leather." " A strong smell?" " Very." "Tanning." "Tanning hides." "Maybe you're after a taxidermist." "A particularly twisted taxidermist." "May I..." "Go and see Leon." "He's a friend." "Lives in the old part of Lille." "Thank you." "Nice collar, by the way!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "I just saw the news." "Know who your "dealer" was?" "Calm down, dammit." "The father of a kidnapped kid." "The money was a ransom!" "The kid is dead." "She's dead because of us!" "I bet you got one too:" "Mr. Coutteure, Lt. Colin, Dunkirk police." "We'd like to talk to you about a crime... lt's no problem." "We killed them!" "The cops are looking for us with dogs and choppers!" "And you say no problem?" "We had a games night, OK?" "Let's have a drink." "Chill out." "Think about it." "I thought about it." "Sorry?" "We go to the cops." "Tell them everything." "I called. I'm going at 4pm." "You mentioned me?" "No." "You have to come." " lt won't bring anyone back." " Yes." "Me." "I can't live with it." "Lying to my wife, to my daughter. I can't." "The thought of the money makes me sick." "I want to pay." "Wipe the slate clean." "That's up to you." "But what about me?" "I've got no wife." "I've got no daughter." "And no second thoughts." "It was an accident." "That's all." "I'm not passing up this chance." "You go, forget me." "You were alone, saw no money." "But I'll never pull it off." "That's the problem." "Listen." "We have to go." "We'll both go, right?" "What's this?" "You're leaving?" "Tomorrow." "What did you give me?" "Antoine?" "Claude?" "Oh, hi." "Sorry to bother you with this..." "OK." "They used tiletamine to knock out the zoo animals." "So we're looking for a vet, or a taxidermist, or both." "Can you start calling local pharmacies?" "I've seen 16, all guys who wish they'd done it themselves." "You?" "That makes 34." "Did you call back?" "OK." "Keep me posted." "Well?" "37 left." "We'll never get hold of them all in time, dammit!" "Coming!" "Merry Christmas!" "Are you sure it can't wait until tomorrow?" "We're still eating and he's on a roll today if you like..." "No, we don't, but it's urgent so we'll be quick." "No chance!" "So there were four cops around the tractor, and Patrick says:" ""What did I do?"" "He says: "We saw you"." "The cops saw him, and they caught him." "It's the police!" "Talk of the devil!" "Jacques here was wondering if he's fit to drive." "Lt. Marengo, sorry, Moreno, and Sergeant Hennebelle, right?" "Mr. Van Boost sent us." "We're looking for a taxidermist." "Guilty as charged!" "I warned you..." "Could we talk in private?" " What's that, love?" " Could we talk in private?" "In your workshop, perhaps?" "Nobody move!" "We'll have a drink, after." "A wolf and monkeys were stolen." " Monkeys?" " Yes." "Ring any bells?" " The asshole!" " Sorry?" "Not you, my nephew." "Shit!" "And I gave him the bug." "He's sick of hunting trophies." "Now he's into exotic stuff, so monkeys..." "You think he'd steal?" "Who knows?" "He's always at the zoo." " Can we talk to him?" " Of course!" "He's been in there all day." "The leather smell?" "Tannic acid." "He's hard at it." "Like tannin in wine?" "Exactly." "Stops the hide perishing." "I use oak but you can use anything." "Like conifer bark?" "I don't see why not." "Daniel, open up!" "It's your uncle!" "Come on!" "What the hell's he doing?" "Police!" "Open up!" "Did you steal any monkeys?" "Monkeys?" "Pilou!" "You stuffed Pilou?" "My sister's." "Died last week." "He was paralyzed." "Still is." " Are there many of you in the area?" " About 10." "But this might not be a professional." "There are skilled amateurs, but they need animals." "Some guy got nabbed 2 years ago for adopting loads of SPCA animals." "They found a hundred cats and dogs at his house." "He did a great job, they say." "Draining blood via the iliac artery, ligating aortas." "Mean anything to you?" "We don't do surgery." "We dissect and skin them." "The rest goes in the trash." "Goodbye." "Thank you." "You're called Hennebelle?" "I used to know a lady called Hennebelle in Malo-Les-Bains." "A fine woman." "Generous." "D'you know her?" "She's my mom..." "Yes, we're undermanned, Claude." "What can I say?" "I don't know, put another squad on it." "Give me Antoine." "Here." "I got the list of suppliers." "Resin jaws, models." "And the tiletamine?" "What about the lay-offs?" "18?" "Making progress..." "See you at the office." "You stuffed Pilou!" " What'll it be?" " Beer." "50 euros." "Where's it happening?" "Jean-Claude!" "A guy left without paying." "I got his license number." "Can you do anything?" "There's something weird about these arteries and aortas." "Never stop, do you?" "Here." "Give it back to me tomorrow." "They say women can multi-task." "I never could." "I have to get the girls." "Call me?" " Of course." " Thanks." "It's Claude." "Yes?" "The zoo vet called." "He likes going to after-work orgies." "Went to pee, saw a stuffed monkey." "The owner's been hosting these since she lost her vet's license." "Got drugs tested outside a lesbo club, stoned on tiletamine." "She was treating the Cunar's dog." "We're bringing her in." "Raphaelle wants you, not the chick." "You tell her." "Lucie!" "It's OK. I get it." "It's a guy thing, isn't it?" "It's dangerous." "Unpredictable." "There'll be other times." "You heard him." "That's Claude." "Raphaelle wouldn't say that." " Call me after?" " Of course." "He drank my bottle of whisky." "He's been acting weird lately." "Did he say anything?" "Cheers." "It's delicate..." "What?" "Go on, say it." "I think that... I think he's afraid you'll dump him." "But why?" "Why would he think that?" "He feels useless." "Dependent on you, your parents." "Having no job's driving him crazy." "My love..." "Drink." "You'll feel better." "He needs you to talk to him, help him get over it." "Thanks." "The dog-lover's arrived." "Roger." "Thanks." "The DA said OK." "Get in position." " Eric?" " lt's OK. lt's clear." "Nothing there." "I want round-the-clock surveillance." "And Lucie?" "Claude said you didn't want her." "Why are you all so keen on her anyway?" "I've been in this game 30 years!" "It's not about experience." "You've nothing to prove, OK?" "She's not on this case by chance." "Got your camera?" "Yeah." "Snap it from every angle and show it to Lucie." "I can go..." "Look at that."
