" Excuse me..." " please..." "please..." "Is this the third show home?" "Yes." "I can confirm that." "Can you tell me the other victims' names?" "Yes." "We've spoken to the families." "They're being offered counselling." "In the third show home we recovered the body of Sylvie Tourneux who died several days ago at the age of 45, after a Iong illness." "And the body of melissa Vernet who also died a few days ago, at the age of 16." "What was the cause of the girl's death?" "What would you say to local people who are about to bury a relative?" "What are you doing to protect our dead?" "I think that we all need time to reflect on this." "Excuse me, madam..." "please..." "House number three." "Two bodies." "A woman sat on the sofa a teenage girl laid out on the dining table and a funeral urn." "eternal rest?" "If only." "Witnesses" "Series created by Hervé Hadmar" "I must keep you under observation." "I'm sorry, I just don't have time." "You're free to do as you wish but at Ieast wait for your test results." "Thanks." "Excuse me." "Thanks very much." "I know, Eric." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "What?" "Don't worry." "I'm fine." "I'II explain later." "OK?" "I need to go." "I'II call you later." "OK?" "I Iove you." "Send ChIoé my love." "well?" "apparently, I'm fine." "I'm limping a bit, but it's fine." "I told you, I'm fine." "Where's this third house?" "40km north." "OK." "Sandra, they found a funeral urn there." "How do I explain it?" "Gorbier's a complete sicko, that's all." "He and Serano dig up bodies from the local cemetery and pose them in homes." "But the men have been carefully chosen." "Muse and Weber, from the other houses, were murdered." " But by whom?" "We don't know" " Agreed." "So, Gorbier and Serano are digging up a murderer's victims." "Why?" "They know the murderer's identity and want paul to catch him." "OK." "Why?" "Gorbier wants paul to be the detective he once was." "He wants revenge on the paul Maisonneuve who was a tough copper not the guy who's been in rehabilitation." "Yes." "That fits." "But last night, Gorbier crashes into me." "He gives me a message." "And within half an hour, 60km away a glass door is smashed, Richard LapIace's ashes are stolen..." "And they end up here." "could someone be helping them?" "It's possible." "Sandra?" "Sandra, are you OK?" "Come on." "I'm taking you to the hospital." " No, I'm fine." " No, you're not!" "Justin, I'm fine." " Look." " What?" "The bodies have been moved." " Yes, of course." " What do you mean?" "Maisonneuve said it was OK." "well, if Maisonneuve said so..." "Where is he?" "Upstairs, I think." "Have you found anything?" "No." "Perhaps he didn't leave a message." "There must be one." "There wasn't one in the first house." "Or maybe you just didn't find it." "Did Gorbier say anything?" ""tell paul that the ghosts are back"." "You look rough." "You could have waited before you moved the bodies." "Yeah, I couId have." "So, Gorbier wants to see you suffer." "What's his game?" "I don't know." "What is it?" "My son drew that." "Thomas, where are you?" "I need to talk to you." "call me as soon as you can." "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "well?" "He's not at work." "He's not at work, he's not at home..." "Where the fuck is he?" "Where did Gorbier find this drawing?" "Was it in storage?" "possibly." "My wife kept them in a cardboard box." "He must have taken it with the photo he left in the second house." "Do we know how Gorbier got hold of a second key for the storage unit?" "If we knew that, it wouId be a breakthrough." "paul, he must have come to the rehab centre." "He escapes from prison with Serano, then visits you without your knowing." "Maybe you weren't in your room or were asleep." "He's right there." "He could kill you but doesn't." "That would be too easy." "He has other plans." "Do you think that's possible?" "It's possible, isn't it?" "That's how he works." "My father's ashes were on the mantel." "I heard a noise so I got up." "His ashes were gone." "The French window was open." "I Iooked out into the garden." "That's when I saw the wolf." "In 20 years, paul Maisonneuve caught over 230 guys." "So, why Gorbier?" "What did paul do?" "Why would he want to make paul suffer?" "Gorbier's a sicko." "Maxine, I'm fed up of hearing how "Gorbier's a sicko" and "paul destroyed his family"." "How did he "destroy" his family?" "What did he do to his family?" "You really have it in for Maisonneuve, don't you?" "What happened between you eight years ago, during your training..." "He pushed you too far." "That doesn't make him guilty." "That night, when Gorbier said to me, "The ghosts are back"..." "The "ghosts" who are behind this are doing it because they think Maisonneuve is guilty." "Of what, I don't know." "But they blame him for something." "I know that Gorbier and Serano aren't alone." "A third man is helping them and doing Gorbier's bidding." "They took LapIace's ashes and put them in the third house, with the drawing." "But who?" "Someone Gorbier has dragged into his plan who has something against Maisonneuve." "Someone with a wolf?" "Yes." "Someone with a wolf." "Max, we've traced Maisonneuve's son's mobile." "Go!" " well?" " We're tracing it." "He's here." "Head down Rue Basse." " hello." "This is Thomas." " Fuck." "Yeah?" "paul, we've got him." "First left." "Why are you here?" "Why didn't you pick up?" "What do you mean?" "Tasty." "Good, aren't they?" "Wow!" "I Iove chew pastry." "It's "choux" pastry." " Sorry, but we call it chew pastry." " Come off it!" "That's not how you say it." " Isn't "chou" a cabbage?" " No." "That's how you say it." "Is he the one leaving bodies in show homes?" "Yes." "That's him." "Why go after me?" "Maybe he just wants to scare you." "No." "He's not just trying to scare me." "I want you to leave here and go as far away as possible..." "No." "I don't want to." "If you don't, you'II need police protection." " For how long?" " I don't know." " As long as it takes." " No way." " Two years ago tomorrow, Mum..." " Yes." "I know." "I miss her." "I miss her, too." "The other day, I walked past a woman wearing her perfume." "I went to her grave the other day." "The man I'm looking for..." "He wants to hurt us." "He's been going there." "He's the one who left the flowers." "He knows not to go out and to tell no one where he is." "Tonight, I'II stay in the room next door." "When I'm not here don't let him out of your sight." "Do you know the guy you're looking for?" "No." "Do you know why he put red roses on Mum's grave?" "No." "Dad didn't want us to go to her grave." "He said it was bad luck and we should remember her as she was." "He said we should imagine her with us, not shut up in a coffin." "I know why this guy did it." "Why?" "They were my mum's favourite flowers." "Gorbier won't stop there." "What's his plan?" "To scare Maisonneuve?" "If he wanted to get at his son, why wait until he's in a safe house?" "What's his next move?" "Show up at the hotel and bump everyone off?" " Fuck." " Sandra?" "Sandra, are you OK?" "Are you OK?" "No internal lesions..." "Your body has had a shock but nothing's broken." "So, I'm fine?" "well, yes." "Why are you laughing?" "You're going to have to take it easy." "What do you mean?" "You're pregnant." "Sorry?" "You're pregnant." "only two weeks gone." " Are you OK?" " Fine." "Do you have children?" "Yes." "I have a little girl." "Any terminations?" "Sorry?" "I mean, have you ever had a miscarriage?" " Yes." "I had one." " How long ago?" " Eight years ago." " How did it happen?" "Tiredness, stress..." "Myjob's demanding." "AII the more reason to take it easy." " will you be OK?" " Yes." "Fine." "Thank you." " Take this." " Thanks." "How can you tell if an elephant is in your fridge?" "Look for footprints in the butter." " Hadn't you heard that one?" " No." "You've hurt yourself." "A little bit." "It's nothing." "How did you hurt yourself?" "On the stairs at work." "I fell down them." "It's nothing." "What?" "I don't get it." "It's not a big deal." "What's wrong?" "I'm not asking a Iot." "I just want to borrow your car." "It's not about the fucking car." "You're clearly annoyed." "I don't want a car I'm not used to." "For work, I need a car I know how to handle." " Stop it." " What?" "Quit that fucking job." "Let's not have that argument now." "When, then?" "When are we going to talk about it?" "You get attacked by a guy who leaves you for dead on the road and I can't say a word?" "I only found out the next day!" "This has to be a joke." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "What is it that you want?" "If you want a normal, happy family life you need to leave this shittyjob." "Don't try to blackmail me." "I thought the perfect family didn't exist." "Stop it, please." "If I don't leave work, what then?" "You'II leave me and take my child?" "will you see other women, too?" " You knew I wanted to do this job." " I know." "Did you think I'd just be helping old ladies across the road?" "It pisses you off too, doesn't it?" "You're all pissed off that a girl can do this job." "I'm not Maisonneuve." "What went on eight years ago is irrelevant." "It's very relevant, Eric." "Did you notice I've changed my lipstick?" "No." "You didn't notice." "I don't like it when you fight." "It's nothing, darling." "Your dad and I are just talking." "It's nothing, kiddo." " Come on." " It's not serious." "AII right?" " Hi." " You look tired." "I need to know whose number this is." " Do you need it now?" " Yes, please." "It's urgent." "Let's see..." "WanderwiIt, Laurence." " WanderwiIt?" " Yes." " Ring any bells?" " What?" "Ring any bells?" "No." " Are you OK?" " Yeah." " Thanks." " No problem." "Do you have any news on Muse, Weber or LapIace?" "Different towns, different schools, different building sites..." "They didn't have the same hobbies or contacts." "The wives and kids didn't know each other." "But we checked their bank records." "For two years, every six months each man paid a Iarge sum into their account" " By bank transfer?" " No, cash deposits." "We compared their phone calendars." "18th September, the day Muse, Weber and LapIace got the same sum they had meetings in the same town." "Muse at 2pm. , Weber at 4.30pm and LapIace at 7pm." "Where?" " In Le Tréport?" " Yes." "A bistro called Le tribal." "Weber, Muse and LapIace at this bistro..." "So, what's your theory?" "A guy who knows all three?" "A guy they all work for?" "A guy who gives them envelopes full of cash?" "But why kill someone who's offering you work?" "Picture the scene." "They work for this guy." "This guy does something something awful." "If anyone found out, he'd lose everything - family, job, reputation." "Weber, Muse and LapIace blackmail him." " For years?" " Yeah, for years." "Yeah." "That fits." "These cash deposits into your father's account..." "Did you ever hear of them?" "No." "My parents didn't discuss money in front of me." "Do you have any ideas?" "Someone who used to call round often, who might have given your dad cash...?" "No." "How's your mother?" "We might head south for a few weeks." "She can't cope here." "Yes." "I understand." "Don't you want to eat with your son?" "He wants to be alone." "Listen Sandra's right" "Gorbier knows we're hiding Thomas." "He wouldn't come here." "He must have something else up his sleeve." "Like what?" "Gorbier's family..." "There's a team with them, 24/7." "I'II go and see his wife and son." "Are you sure?" "Hi, lads." "Mrs Gorbier, has he tried to get in contact with you?" "Have you received anonymous calls?" "No, no." "Have you had any calls where there's just breathing or silence?" "Someone hanging up...?" "Do you feel like you're being followed or watched?" "Mrs Gorbier, excuse my asking, but do you live here alone with Jérémie?" "No." "I've moved on." "My son and I came back here." "It's a family home." "I met someone." "Does this person live with you?" "Yes." "My husband..." "Do you think he might carry on doing what he did before?" "Yes." "If we don't stop him, I think he'II start up again" "When he escaped, he'd have needed money." "Who might he have asked?" "certainly not me." " Your son..." " He's upstairs, in his room." "Do you remember me?" "Yes." "will you be OK?" "Yes." "Did you visit your dad in prison?" "No." "I couldn't." "Considering what I know..." "You know, Jérémie, if you need to talk you can always call the psychologist the one who looked after you five years ago." "Yes." "Don't worry." "She's there for you." "Sometimes I dream about him." "I dream that he comes to me to take me away." "I wish he was dead." "Do you think he'II come for them?" "Yes, once he's finished with me." " This way, please." " Thanks." " Does paul know you're here?" " Of course." "Three of my homes and sites." "This is getting weird." "Mr Norbert, do you have any enemies?" "Someone who might want to harm you...?" "I'm head of one of the region's biggest firms I'm involved in local politics and I'm standing in the elections." "In my position, enemies are all I have." "But if you're asking "Do you know someone who would put bodies in your houses?" my answer is the same as it was when you first asked me - no." "Richard LapIace..." "I take it you didn't know him either?" " I don't think so." "Who is he?" " He's one of the victims." "The three men found in the show homes worked in the same industry as you." "Are you sure you didn't know them?" "I'm sure." "I'm quite sure." "Sandra." "Here's a list of all the tradespeople and entrepreneurs in the area." "financially, they can't match Henri Norbert." "But a good 30 of them might have come across Weber, Muse and LapIace." "Is there anyone on the list who might know Kaz Gorbier?" "Here." "This is the Iast of them." "Thanks, Denis." "You're a sweetheart." "Happy reading!" "Case file" " Kaz Gorbier" "Interrogation" " Kaz Gorbier 20th June 2008" "Investigating officer Inspector P. Maisonneuve" "My family didn't suspect a thing." "I couId have gone on." "A good father and husband during the day and at night a wolf amongst wolves." "Does my wife know?" "She knows." "She won't see me." "Did you tell her?" "Yes." "I told her." "What did she say?" "Nothing." "She cried." "Do you have a son, too?" "How old is he?" "You know, one day I'II do to your family what you've done to mine." "Do you know why?" "What you did to my son..." "I don't believe it" "What you did to my son..." " Fred." " Yes?" "Weren't you seeing a girl who was some sort of language specialist?" " Yes." "A maxiIIoIabiaI specialist." " That was it." " Why?" " I need some help." "Sorry." "We split up." " Did it end badly?" " You could say that." " It was her fault, of course." " Of course." "could you call her for me?" "please..." "Fred was telling me you're a maxiIIoIabiaI specialist." "Yes, but speech therapist is fine." " Can all speech therapists Iip-read." " Oh, no." "It's a different specialism." "It's this bit." ""My son..." Wait." " shall I rewind it?" " Yes, please." "I'm a bit lost." " Here?" "Is that OK?" " Perfect." ""My son..." ""What you did to him to find me..." ""I promise you, one day you're going to regret it." ""One day, I promise you, you'II be the one crying"." "Yes." "That's it." "Jérémie, where did paul Maisonneuve take you, five years ago?" "To a flat." "What flat?" "A policeman's flat." "The one who sounds BeIgian..." "He took you, then what did you do?" "What did he tell you?" "He told me what my dad did to women at night." "He said I had to help him." "help him, how?" "To find my father." "He said if I didn't, he'd kill again." "I didn't want to, at first." "I didn't want to say." "Then, he showed me the photos." "Photos?" "What photos?" "Photos of the women my dad had killed." "My dad came to see me a few times." "He came to my school." "He came at breaktime." "He'd wave from a distance." "No one knew." "Maisonneuve made me tell him." "Are you from Le Tréport?" "Yes." "2km that way." "The first time we met you told me you knew the people here and all their secrets." "You know what they're saying in town." "Yes." "Maybe I do." "Someone around here with a wolf..." " A wolf?" " Heard anything about that?" "No." "Why?" "I just wondered." "Who put the bodies in the houses?" " It's Laura, isn't it?" " Yes." "Do you always stare at girls my age?" "Sorry." "You remind me of someone I Ioved." "She was your age when I met her." "Who is she?" "She's no Ionger with us." "Have you finished?" "I'm tired." "I'm off to bed." "We're leaving tomorrow." "You and your son can't stay here." "You need to get away until they catch him." "Piece of shit..." "I'II rip you apart." "I'II destroy you, you piece of shit." "Who's that guy you're shagging?" "What a piece of shit." "Happy birthday" "Do you have a cigarette?" "I found out." "I know." "What do you know?" "Five years ago, when you caught Gorbier, you used Jérémie." "You used his son." "You fetched an eight-year-oId boy from school and took him away." "You told him what his dad did at night, not sparing any details." "It wasn't enough." "He wouldn't talk." "So, you showed him photos explicit photos of raped and butchered women." "You forced a child of eight to turn in his father." "What did you tell Gorbier when you caught him?" ""Come with me if you want your son to live"?" " Who told you that?" " Is that what you did, paul?" "Look me straight in the eye and tell me whether you bloody did it or not!" "I see." "The mystery of paul Maisonneuve..." "That's why he's after you." "That's why he's after your son, isn't it?" "Am I wrong?" "No." "You're not wrong." "If I hadn't forced the boy to talk we wouldn't have caught Gorbier." "He'd have raped and murdered more women." "How many more victims?" "Two?" "Five?" "Ten?" "paul, he won't give up." "He's stronger than us, than you, than all of us." "He's had years to plan this." "Yesterday, today, tomorrow - it's all mapped out." "No one is safe - not you, nor your son, nor me." "Look at me." "Can you see how furious you've made him?" "He'II do whatever it takes for revenge." "So, get your brain in gear, now." "What does..?" "What does Gorbier know that you don't?" "Why's Serano still here?" "What does Gorbier want?" "100th anniversary of the carnival of the Sea" "Did you hear me?" "Go and see if Thomas is still in his room." "hello?" "hello?" "Serano." "Drop the gun." "Put down your gun." "Stay here." "Don't move." "Serano." "Look at me." "Don't do it, Serano." "Look at me." "Where's Gorbier?" "Serano, drop your gun." "Where's Gorbier, Serano?" "Drop your gun." "Do you hear me?"
