- Hello, Mrs. Nielsen. - Greetings in Japanese.

...

- Hello, Mr. Tanaka. How are you ?

- Yes. Thanks.

- You no longer have 12 cm cedar wood bowls.

- Thank you, Miss Nielsen, I'll order some.

- You received the boxes of tea. - In effect.

- She can help you take inventory!

Do you have it big?

- Thank you... Can I ask you something?

Can I entrust you with a mission a little off?

- No questions asked! - OK.

- Get me some info on her. - Matilda Nielsen? Who is it ?

His sister ? Tell me who it is.

- No questions asked. - She is his sister ? Only that...

- Telephone. - Commander Coste!

A dead body ?

What address ?

We arrive.

- "2 rue Buffon"? - The Natural History Museum!

Are we into dinosaurs?!

*SMS beeps.

- "All business ceased"!

- A problem ?

- I have to leave all business.

Sorry, I must leave.

- Are you leaving this? - All business ceased...

- What speed !

- Thank you for doing so quickly. - I had to stop

- actually. - You could finish.

- "All business ceased"! I did my weekly shopping.

- It doesn't matter. - I'm doing my shopping

Monday morning. Be more specific.

- I will add "but finish your activity first".

- Thank you, Commander.

- Hi guys !

- The body

is found in paleontology.

This is Dana Barette, 36,

she worked here in the labs.

- Do we know what she died of? - Nope. The coroner is on the case.

Mr. Stan worked with her.

I leave it to you.

- Thank you hello ! It's you

- Who found the body? - No, a maintenance person.

- Tell me about Madame Barette.

- For 3 years, she made fossil casts. She was

a bit special,

- but a good element. - "A little special"?

- She put the music on and her pace...

- Tell me. - Piercings, tattoos...

Not like an old paleontologist and that's good.

- Poor little... - Would you mind coming?

- identify the body? - No, of course.

- Come.

- Restricted zone !

- It's for people

which are not part of our services.

- You're one of them, Astrid. - Oh!

- It's her ? - Yes,

it's Miss Barette.

- How are you, Mr. Stan? - Yes, but to see her lifeless,

it's so sudden...

- It's not

the right part. This one

does not match.

- She's stuck

- in there? - I don't know, but in a puzzle, yes.

- Anatomically, the attachments of this bone differ.

- We complete

skeletons with composite

bones. This femur comes

of a mold. Nobody sees it.

- Except Astrid! - Go on,

we have an investigation.

- Thank you, Mr. Stan.

Accompany him.

Fournier, we are in a good mood! What are your conclusions ?

- All seems

contradictory.

Respiratory distress, but no outward signs.

- Vital Submergence.

- Yes ?

- Cyanotic fingers,

swollen nostrils and eyelids:

this young woman drowned.

- It doesn't fit. You see water

- somewhere ? - No, but it's good

- from drowning... - Okay.

- I continue ? - We have to do

- an autopsy to find out. - It's true.

- A drowning,

- it's absurd. - How much are you betting, Fournier?

- I haven't done my shopping.

- How am I going to do ? - There's a convenience store nearby.

You do it and I'll drop you off at your place. OK ?

- It doesn't work that way. - But I have to find out first

- on the victim... - Don't worry,

- we will find a solution. - I don't know... He's...

It's 11:07 a.m. 11:07 am!

- Fournier is right, it's not drowning.

- We were able to move the body into the gallery to drown the fish.

- Are you serious ? - To keep him away

- from the crime scene. - Stop embroidering!

We don't talk about evidence with preconceived ideas.

Here it is common sense.

- What about the victim's phone?

- He stopped broadcasting on Friday evening, around the museum.

- Someone robbed him? - No idea. Nobody

do not know

- what she did. - We have nothing.

- Yes, a surveillance camera shows

Dana Barette

arriving at the museum

- at 1 a.m. - We couldn't

- drown it in the museum! - Wait, Nico...

- Rap!

- It died from drowning.

- Thanks.

...

NOISE OF DOOR.

- A new puzzle? - Nope. It is one of the oldest

and more complex. The 1st time, it took me days to finish it.

- Sounds easy.

- It has 5 rings and requires 31 movements,

170 for 8 rings and 682 with 10 rings!

- Wow! - Sit down.

The victim is cited in a case.

- We didn't find anything, she doesn't even have a locker.

- You didn't find anything because she was dismissed.

- On what case?

- Trafficking in fossils. No kidding ? - Dana Barette was a trafficker

- and she works at the museum. - That's not motive.

- Whether ! A heteropod skeleton may be worth

- one million dollars. - The cow !

Serious mobile, yes.

- In this file, Pierre Venkman

was incarcerated for 6 months.

- Very serious mobile!

*SMS sound signal.

Speaking of skeleton, Fournier wants to see me at IML.

You understood ?

- A skeleton, a medical examiner,

- it's a joke. - Yeah.

Nice tattoos!

- "A B C D 1"...

What's this ?

- I don't know... - Looks like a spider's web.

- It's the tree

Darwin's phylogenetics. You should know that!

- It is a diagram that represents kinship relationships

between living beings: each node symbolizes a common ancestor.

This one is unknown to me.

- The copy of Darwin's 1st sketch called "transmutation of species".

- Thanks,

Wikipedia!

- Is not it ? - No way.

It would have been original on the shoulder

of a baker, not on that of a paleontologist!

- She had her job under her skin. Me,

I don't have a tattoo of the "36" crest!

- Yes... - What did she die of?

- We have pulmonary edema,

the lungs are congested and...

Numerous hemorrhagic points at the level of their envelope.

- So ?

- So. Its good ?

No doubt :

this young woman is dead... drowned.

- Thanks !

- The girl entered the museum, healthy,

at one o'clock in the morning, and we find her there drowned

6 hours later?

- His lungs contained water. - Where is she from ?

- The lab is analyzing it.

- What do we have on Ophelia? - It's "Dana".

- Ophelia, the drowned woman from "Hamlet", by Shakespeare...

Drop.

- She worked evenings. Few friends, a few passing lovers.

- Find out

- on Peter Venkman. - A suspect ?

- In a file, he is quoted with the victim,

- he did 6 months in jail. - What was it about?

- It was a fossil trade, it's worth digging.

- Search on a paleontologist! - It does not work.

- What ?

- We didn't drown her by force,

but she struggled.

His clothes were dry.

We may have drowned her naked, but there should be traces.

- Thanks. That's a lot of information. We will go

get some fresh air, we'll come back later.

- How are you ? - It's 1:10 p.m.

Organize your desk better.

- Come.

About the drowning, I knew you were right.

- I hate being wrong. No solution is satisfactory.

- You like puzzles. - No, but I can't resist.

I can't think of anything but that and it's exhausting.

- What's wrong? I take you back?

- No thanks. I'm doing my shopping.

- Hey ! Guess what's up for auction?

- I do not know. - Fossils. and a skull

- added heteropod. - Price?

- €150,000. No provenance. Seller's name?

- Peter Venkman! Find me all you can about him

and the blocking of his telephone, that will serve me to cook him.

You have to beat the witness

- as long as it is hot. - Not too !

- We'll see !

- Lot number 8: set of Upper Cretaceous fossils.

For this beautiful lot, we start bidding at 20,000 euros.

25000! The bid is

there for now... 30000!

What do we say ?

We stay at 30,000? 35000 on my right!

Yes my dear ? 40000!

She whispers. The bid is set at 40,000.

What do we say ? The auction is here.

- 45000! - Sorry...

- We're at 45,000.

50,000, thank you...

55,000, 3rd row,

by you, lady!

55000 so far.

The auction is here...

- This lot interests me,

but I invite you to have a drink afterwards.

-60000!

- You hit on Dana Barette like that?

- 60000! - Sorry ?

- The young woman because of whom

you did a lot...

- 62000! - I spot guys like you,

a little paternalistic and

certain to be irresistible.

- OK ? - Mrs !

-70000!

- Dana is a friend,

that's all.

- "Was": she was murdered.

- 75000 per madam! - It's not possible...

I saw her 3 months ago, she was...

-75000, once!

- You're lying, Mr. Venkman. - Knocked down at 75000

to this lady!

75000!

- The blocking of your telephone has betrayed you.

You spent several hours near the

museum when your friend was killed.

Will you come with me nicely or shall we stand up cowboy style?

*upbeat classic tune.

...

- Dana regularly returned to the museum after closing.

It'll take time, but we'll find out what disappeared from the reserves...

- And that will end up in a sale. - I haven't seen Dana for 3 months

because I was doing

excavations in Mongolia.

- OK. It often happens that you walk next to the museum

at one in the morning ?

- I was at the museum, but I didn't see her.

- Find better than that. - She wanted

see me urgently.

I didn't get her directly, she left me a message.

- You can listen to it. - It's good, we're moving forward.

...

*-Pierre, I discovered something crazy,

*I need to tell you about it.

*Come to the museum, I'll meet you outside.

- Never

- she didn't come. - That has yet to be proven.

- The bagel! - Your condition does not excuse everything,

- you go out ! - Wait, Nico.

Come, Astrid.

- To resolve

my mechanical puzzle,

we have to go back.

Dana isn't dead when you think she was killed.

- Get out! - Hold on !

Astrid, take your time.

- "Dry drowning", very rare in adults.

After drinking the cup, water

can enter the pulmonary alveoli:

the lungs become clogged with mucus and the

person can die, sometimes several hours later.

And it looks like drowning.

For 25 years, there have been 3 similar cases.

Dana Barette died on Sunday, but

the murder took place the day before.

- Thank you, Mrs. Nielsen.

- Contusions prior to death: Fournier confirms dry drowning.

- He's one of the best pathologists in this town. Well done, Raphaelle!

- It's not us, it's Astrid to be congratulated,

even if his way of doing bothers some.

- I have nothing against her, but if she arrives in the middle of an audition,

- during confessions... - She's very talented.

- Maybe, but... - Captain! That's right :

Ms. Nielsen can't break the rules.

- OK ? - He needs time to adapt.

- And now ? - We released Venkman.

Yesterday he was on

a plane from Mongolia.

- Dana claims to have found

something crazy, we can think that it is linked to his death.

- His schedule ? - Not much,

other than his phone number.

She borrowed someone's phone from Saint-Lazare station:

no more battery.

- Testimony confirmed by call location.

We check all destinations departing from Saint-Lazare station.

- Venkman gone? - He gets his papers back.

- You will be badly received! - I am used to it.

- Commissar!

- Mr. Venkman!

- Shall we have a coffee? - Are you kidding?

- We got off to a bad start...

- My sale is ruined. - What do you want ?

- Catch whoever killed Dana. - I believe you, you are his friend.

- And how do you know?

- She called you. - What changes now?

- Help me, Peter.

- I'm not doing this for the money.

An excavation site is the discovery of the rare object,

- the trace of the past that we go back to... - Why did you do it outside

- from the official circuit, to the museum? - Places of paleontologists

are rare, even after

10 years of study.

We wait for a place to become available, for someone to die. It can last

- a time I didn't have. - I can understand that.

- I can't realize...

Dana is...

She was amazing, she got what she

wanted without ever going over the top,

- hating these idiots in the norm. - Made to hear you!

- At first, we even lived together.

- I thought so. - But married life

was not for us.

- What do you want ? - That crazy thing she talks about

in his message, you know what it is?

- Nope. But if it was

a scientific discovery, she had to seek to publish it.

- Contact specialized journals. - What if it was something

less... recommendable?

- Nope. She didn't pick up

dealing in fossils, she was so proud to have returned to the museum.

It was her life, this job, she

would never have risked losing it.

Never.

- Thank you for coming, I needed a judicial police officer.

- I thought you were out shopping.

- No time. - To the criminal documentation,

I tried to find the answers to our questions.

- And in the inventory of the museum's reserves?

- Yes. Paleontology and forensic science is a bit

the same.

- What ? - Criminal records are

like fossils: the flesh of the crime has

disappeared, but the skeleton remains,

the fossil of the investigation from which we

reconstruct the story, like a dinosaur with its bones,

a bit like a puzzle.

Dana Barette worked like me: she did not take part in the

excavations, but if what she discovered is of a scientific nature,

she may have found it in the storerooms:

that is why she came there every evening.

- Copy of the inventory of reserves

- has a connection with Dana? - Confidential!

- A problem ? - None,

- but you have to take them with you. - That's it ?

- Dematerialization is not over: 5 centuries

excavations! Only 10%

of the pieces are on display.

- Do we have all this delivered, Astrid?

Astrid?

- Let's go to the Forensic Institute. - Now ?

- Yes.

- Thank you, Mr. Stan. - What do I do with the crates?

- We're sending someone.

- The...

- Yes, Astrid?

- The.

- What ? - Branch...

There she is not.

- Did you see that ?

- Yes. This is Darwin's phylogenetic tree,

- it hasn't changed. - One more branch.

- With 3 branches. - How

that ?

- There is a branch

more than the original.

- His tattoo artist will have been overzealous. - Nope. Ink looks fresher

on the new branch.

Look carefully...

- She added it later.

- I understood. - Please, Doctor Fournier.

- She discovered

something important enough to get a tattoo.

- Are you sure it's here?

- Venkman gave me this address. - Oh!

- It's a strange establishment. - Dana Barette got a tattoo

his tree here 10 years ago. She must have come back to the same place

- to make his cutting. - There's the skin, not the skull.

- What fabulous epidermis!

You don't like the sun.

- We don't touch. - Oh sorry.

The facial skin is the barest on the

whole body, but that's not indecent.

No shame in my eyes.

- Are you a tattoo artist?

- By force of circumstances.

I studied skin biology,

but I wasn't cut out for it.

I preferred the tattoo.

- Commander Raphaëlle Coste

and Astrid Nielsen, forensic scientist.

Do you know Dana Barette?

- Dana?

Sure ! She was the one who had this great idea

- from Darwin's sketch. - The phylogenetic tree.

- You have

- added a branch? - She wouldn't have had her transformed

my tattoo by someone other than me.

- Why this extension? - She had discovered

- a new species of dinosaurs. - A new dinosaur?

- It's incredible. - We discover

a new species every time you lift a pebble!

- How was his exceptional?

- It questioned the classification of theropods:

they would have belonged to the order of ornithischiens

- and not that of saurischians. - Could you write it to me?

- I can even tattoo it for you!

Ha ha... Just kidding.

- I understood.

Is it your shopping that annoys you?

- When does your grocery store close? - I don't go there at night.

- Why ? - I have always done my shopping

- at the opening, Monday, at 9 am. - You always do your shopping

- in the same shop, on Monday? - Obviously. Not you ?

- Nope. And during the holidays, what do you do?

- Most of the time, I stay at home.

- I mean when the shop is off.

- When Mr. Tanaka is absent, he is replaced

and he warns me in advance.

Does it matter that we talk about it now?

It is 6:52 p.m., the grocery store is in danger of closing.

- Let's go, Astrid. - Let's go.

- It's closed. - We'll come back tomorrow.

- I haven't done my shopping

this morning for the week, I have nothing for dinner tonight.

- It never happened. - We can eat something at my house.

- It was not expected.

- Going home without dinner or coming home, it was not planned,

but when you come to my house, you will have eaten.

And tonight, I have

Theo, he will be delighted.

- The mathematician Louis Gros

theorized a code to solve the bagelfish.

0: a dismantled ring. 1: a mounted ring.

He invented the Gray code, the basis of modern computing.

- All that from a millennial thing? It's awesome.

- You want to please me. - Nope. It impresses me.

- And your investigation at the museum, is it progressing?

- Yes, yes... A polytischian and platypus thing.

- Theropods belong to the order Ornithischians

- and not that of the saurischians. - What ? It's a crazy thing!

- A crazy thing.

- Here are the saurischians and these are the ornithischians,

the 2 large bands of dinosaurs. 100 years ago, in

England, to classify them, a guy based himself on the form

from their pool. OK ! They represent theropods.

We had put them away with the saurischians...

- Okay, I'm with you.

- In fact, theropods

would be ornithischians.

- It's incredible.

You can not find ?

- Sure ! - What's amazing?

- It changes the family tree of the dinosaurs

19th century!

- Hence the tattoo... - That's it!

- You're awesome, you know? Great !

If I didn't have you!

- Oh that's good ! - *SMS beep.

- Arthur found the motive. - Why ?

- A publication request has been made,

but it's not Dana Barette who made it... It's Raymond Stan.

- Oh!

- Mr. Stan has requested publication in the next edition,

he worked there for 2 years. He canceled and made a 2nd request.

- He usurped the victim's discovery.

- His current study? - I never remember the name...

So. He was working on a new specimen

- of a subgenus of Phorusrhacos. - A spectacular creature?

- Shame in Jurassic Park:

a prehistoric bird 2.50 m high!

The apotheosis of his career:

a giant chicken already identified!

- And his assistant would go down in history. Balls !

- Raph's in trouble. - She's doing something important.

- At work !

- Hey, my coffee!

It's a mania, it's not possible.

- Thank you for opening earlier, Mr. Tanaka.

- A special customer!

- A special woman! - She's the only one who learned

the basics of

Japanese politeness.

- That does not surprise me.

Greetings in Japanese.

- Sayonara, Tanaka San.

- Sayonara!

- I don't know how to thank you.

- It's normal. - Nope ! I succeeded

shopping on a Tuesday. Its very important. Thanks.

- You are welcome.

- Your colleagues searched the office

of Mrs Barrette.

- One is never better served than by oneself.

- If I can help you...

- The victim had just done

a great discovery, but nothing

in his computer or in his office.

- Why do you think that? - She sent a complete file

concerning gastropods

at the university

from Michigan.

- She went a little too far, she was original.

- You must be right. - Thank you for your time, Mr. Stan.

Arthur, here we go.

- We have to stop it. - We have no proof, Arthur.

- The story with Michigan...

- Well ? - She does not exist.

- Not at all !

Now he believes Dana had already shared his discovery.

He's going to come out of

the woods to check it out.

- The diatoms found in the victim's lungs

come from Touques.

- In other words?

- The drowning took place near Deauville, served by the Gare Saint-Lazare.

- Raymond Stan turned off his phone for 8 hours

to Picardy

where he has a concrete alibi. 8 hours for a Paris-Amiens...

- Via Deauville!

- Stan sent

an email to the

University of Michigan.

- Cheer !

- I found the fossil

thanks to the email that Raymond Stan sent to the University of

Michigan which is more precise than his request for publication.

- It had to be prevented

to disguise the elements.

- He had to go too fast. - He even specified

the number of the fossil from which he made his discovery...

- He claims to have made it! - Absolutely, Major Coste.

"MNHN-F-RJN-78": "National Museum of Natural History, Fossil,

"Normandy Jurassic Reptile, specimen number 78".

They use

- a logarithmic system... - I'll stop you, we're getting lost!

What is the "MNHM" thing?

- "MNHN-F-RJN-78" is a heteropod ischium.

And in the inventory,

it says that...

In the boxes, Commander.

Raymond Stan had studied it 3 years ago:

a completely ordinary ischium.

- And there, he claims to have made a great discovery

from the same fossil.

- There is better: there are exit slips that prove

than "MNHM-F"...

That the ischium, it's simpler, has been taken

out of reserve several times by Dana Barette.

- She was the one who made the discovery

where poor Raymond had only seen a nonosse.

You remind me of her:

you see what others do not see.

Wait... Wait! At the crime scene,

you told me a bone was out of place.

What did it correspond to?

- It was an ischium.

The fossil discovered by Dana Barette!

A heteropod ischium.

- Take a good look, Astrid. - Prohibited area except for people

empowered...

I am empowered!

- Come.

- I just told the Scientist. - Thank you, Commander Coste.

The fossil has been changed.

It's not the last time.

The ischium...

- She came back here the night she died to retrieve it.

- And dry drowning will have interrupted it.

- She felt bad and she hid it in front of everyone's nose,

in this gallery.

You intrigued Raymond Stan:

he replaced it with another and he took

- The original. - Sorry, Captain Coste,

- it's my fault. - No way !

On the contrary...

Now I know how to pin him down.

- Oh!

- It's a parking fine.

- It's annoying: they don't put butterflies anymore

and 3 weeks later, 35 balls!

It concerns your vehicle, in Deauville.

- The Crime is interested in that? - When a person is not there

- where she should be. - You can go through Deauville

- to go to Amiens. - You know why

Did I make you wait ?

We were searching your house.

- It's not legal.

- Yes. We did it in the rules of the art and we found this...

What a horror to be double-crossed by

a kid with all those tattoos and piercings!

You had missed the chance

of your life, what a fool!

You don't have the makings of an assassin.

I thought your assistant's death upset you.

In fact, it was guilt.

You kill Dana in Deauville and find her the next

day. There is something to be troubled about!

Everything points to you, Mr. Stan.

- We don't know what it's like to kill someone.

I held her head underwater for so long...

It seemed endless to me.

She was struggling and suddenly...

Nothing.

- But she had to get up a few seconds later.

- I ran away

once I realized what I had done. I thought

*that I was going crazy when we found his body in the gallery.

- You went to Deauville to celebrate its future success.

Upon learning of her discovery, you decided to kill her.

- But it's disgusting: I have 40 years of career,

I had to wax pumps, I did everything right...

She robbed me of the only chance to make my name known,

that outlaw with his piercings and shitty music!

- Perhaps this is

because she came out of the framework that she, she will leave her name.

...

Just a story of self-love: the venerable scientist

will not allow himself to be overtaken by his assistant. You understand ?

- Nope. For 19 years that I read minutes,

I understand better and better how

people kill each other, but not why.

...

- In culture

Japanese, everything is codified, everything has a meaning.

- Kind of the same for Astrid.

- Rituals are of paramount importance to her,

this allows him not to lose his footing.

She has always been coming and she learned Japanese.

I could only be

interested in autism.

These people are very sensitive, they process a

hundred pieces of information at the same time.

Difficult to sort!

Predicting what will happen allows them

- to prepare for it. - But life,

it is full of unforeseen events, especially in our profession.

- You have to learn to plan for the unexpected

thanks to benchmarks that allow you to deal with situations

- unexpected. - I don't know how you do that.

- Useless to do it: "to be", it is good already.

I saw how Miss Nielsen

behaved with you:

you become one of its points of reference.

In Japanese.

- Our new ritual:

you come to dinner every Monday.

- And it's not improvised... - Since it's programmed.

- So.

*VIBRATOR.

Excuse me.

Hello ? *-I found some stuff

on your mission a bit off.

- So ? - *-Mathilde is Astrid's mother,

she has just spent 20 years in the United States...

*She returned for medical reasons.

- Thanks. - *-I have his address

*and a phone number. Are you going to talk to Astrid about it?

- I don't know, Arthur.

I do not know...
