Original subtitles

-Ms. Martoli,

Are you ok ?

-You kissed Tetsuo?

Oh, I don't believe it!

-But it's true.

We are now therefore

on informal terms.

-Obviously. But we,

don't use informal terms.

-You could.

-You think ?

-If appropriate.

-As a matter of fact,

that wouldn't be silly.

-OK. -Well...

Could you come to

dinner with Tetsuo tonight?

- Raphaëlle, I come to dine with you on Monday.

- Yes, on Monday, you come alone.

With company, it will have to be another day.

-Why come accompanied?

-I would like to meet Tetsuo.

-I don't mind, but I need to make sure

that it's ok with Tetsuo.

-It would be fine with Nico,

he would be very comfortable.

-Tetsuo doesn't know him.

-Boys are more comfortable when they are in a pack.

-Ah. Many things

escape me in relationships of this type.

It is a very complex puzzle.

-For me too.

Shall we go ?

Everything ok ? - Raphaelle.

This familiarity... -Yes?

- It bothers me, it doesn't seem right anymore.

-To be honest, I agree.

Let's forget it. -OK.

It's better.

-It's better. Come on.

-Thanks.

-Hello.

-Thanks.

-Francoise Martoli, 51 years old.

Curator

of the greenhouse.

Burnt face.

The body had to be moved.

- Hmm hmm. It has not been moved.

But she burned

without fire.

No trace of asphyxia or hypovolemia.

-Stand back.

Step aside ! Here we are.

This is

a Hippomane mancinella, or manchineel tree,

or tree of death.

Its corrosive sap

is like acid.

- You are well versed in botany!

-Yes, of course

we study poisons.

Nature takes

many twists and turns.

- Was it an accident?

- Hmm hmm. Her face is bruised,

her fingers are cyanotic

and she has regurgitated.

- She was already dead.

-Absolutely. -Burns

didn't kill her.

It's poisoning.

No doubt about it.

It was murder.

- We recovered the victim's belongings.

She had her papers, no theft from her office.

We didn't find anything suspicious, other than that.

-"Paco drowned.

"Come to Le Vésinet."

- Sent by Boris.

-No Paco

among the missing.

Nor among the drowned dead.

- But it came

from Boris Martoli.

- Is he a family member?

-Her brother.

-Weird.

-The victim

bought greenhouses

at Vesinet,

where this Paco could have drowned.

-Hey !

-Criminal squad.

Drop that. -I didn't do anything.

-Where's Paco?

-Paco? He's down there.

-Go on.

-Here he is.

I abused the watering, I thought he was dead.

I repotted him

and he got better.

He has recovered. -Wait.

This is Paco?

- Yes, Paco.

No !

He does not like

being touched. He is a modest mimosa.

Francoise has built

a special bond with him.

When she comes, you will see.

-Uh...

Boris... - What?

Has she had a problem?

It's a shock, she has always been there for me.

-When did you last see her?

-She came on Friday to see the cabbages.

-Paco is connected to what?

-She was studying neurobiology

in plants to demonstrate sensitivity

and plant intelligence.

And Paco is hypersensitive.

- Is this cabbage? -Yes.

We're testing sonic fertilizers.

She was the artist.

I'm just a gardener.

I'm not going to do this alone.

-Dining at Raphaëlle's is an honor for me.

-Ah. But know that Raphaëlle

has poor cooking skills. -I don't care.

- I do.

On Mondays, I eat the M12 menu.

But on Thursday, I don't know.

-If Raphaëlle matters to you, I want to know her.

-Ah OK.

She invited a boy to make you more comfortable.

A pack story, I didn't quite understand.

-Very well.

-OK.

Goodbye,

Tetsuo.

-Nico, are you coming around for dinner?

-I'm talking to Emma about it. -Without Emma.

Uh, Astrid and Tetsuo are coming,

and I thought it would be easier with a guy.

Another guy. -I see.

But what are we going to talk about?

-He has done

a thesis on the golden ratio.

-Seriously ?

The divine proportion.

Art history is

full of examples.

For example...

-Back to work.

-What is that ?

- Don't offend him.

You see ?

So spare

this witness.

-You're kidding.

-This is an experiment to show

plant intelligence,

led by the victim.

-And a giant

of the food industry has initiated several appeals against it.

Nesmonge Industries.

It was really relentless.

-Is it related to her research?

-An accusation of

patent theft.

-It could be a motive.

-At her farm, there are three poor cabbages.

I have difficulty in believing

may it make a giant in the sector jealous.

-Don't be so sure. I found something.

Martoli was privately,

working as a botanist for Sonopi.

She left after 20 years of service.

-And so ?

-It is the pharmaceutical branch of Nesmonge Industries.

-Investigate them.

- She was singing to her plants!

- So, why these lawsuits?

-I am the group's legal director.

I mustn't let anything pass, or it becomes a stampede.

-She is dead.

Murdered. -You think

that we send killers to knock off our competitors?

Lawyers do it better.

- Keep a low profile.

I will snoop around.

If I see something out of place, it's gonna cost you.

- Don't waste your time looking.

Everything is all in order.

They pay me to keep it that way.

-Astrid. -Yes.

-I would like to help you

manage the stress of the exam.

-This was not planned. The unexpected puts me in difficulty.

And I have to

go to the forensic institute.

-Ah... And that's not an unforeseen event?

-A predictable contingency.

-OK.

Can we plan to talk about it after the next lesson?

- After the next lesson, yes.

I'll leave the sheet, I know all of that.

-She had eaten acacia leaves,

whose tannin is deadly.

- Hmm hmm.

According to the analyses,

the dose was not lethal.

- But the acacia is a little clever.

eaten by animals,

it increases its tannin concentration to deter them.

Some antelopes were decimated.

-So the tannin level had dropped during the analyses,

but not when she ingested it. -That's it.

But there was none

in the greenhouse, because it is not a tropical plant.

-Since 2010,

there is a desert greenhouse in the Jardin des Plantes.

-Lets go see.

-There, an acacia.

-Serious notches.

It's an assault.

Why did she eat that?

It is inedible.

She would have felt it. Or was it a suicide?

-Here there are at least

7 ways to die

painlessly.

She could have chosen

more efficient methods.

No, it's a criminal modus operandi.

-Ther !

A pair of pruners.

With a name on it. -I see.

If he tried

to cut the trunk of the poisonous tree...

-The acacia.

- We have a suspect. -Boris.

- I looked everywhere.

He got away. -Shit.

-There.

Those footsteps.

-Don't get me wrong.

-No, of course not.

Follow us.

You will have to explain your cannabis plantation to us.

-That would be enough for an army of rastas.

Boris was growing this among the cannabis plants.

-What's this ?

- Narcotics don't know.

- Is this Boris a credible suspect?

Could he have killed his sister?

-He works in his farm,

lives there,

receives a salary,

and he is her heir.

Her death saves him.

-Why kill her?

She looked after him.

- Maybe she wanted to stop?

-Or she found out about his dealings, and he wanted to shut her up.

-It fits.

*-It was her idea, I promise.

* Cannabis,

her idea.

She was good with plants.

- And you, for trade.

-I had experience.

We were a team.

I thought I was doing something right,

with my abilities.

For a good cause.

*-What do you mean?

*-I will give you the names of our customers.

People...

in chemo, or with chronic pain,

or osteoarthritis.

And it worked wonders.

Where did that come from ?

-From the Jardin des Plantes, not far from your sister's body.

-It's my pruner.

She borrowed it.

She gave them to me.

- They played a role in her death.

It increased the toxicity of the fatal poison.

Did you know that

acacia is poisonous.

*-Yes, Françoise spoke to me

about some antelopes poisoned

by acacias.

-Boris...

Everything implicates you.

You are suspected of murder.

-Sure she used to yell at me when I was doing too much shit.

But why would I kill her?

She took care of everything.

What am I without her?

Things were going well with me on the farm.

She was happy.

-And is this another psychotropic?

-I don't know.

-Boris...

-This is the plant she was looking after

for her research.

She said to me:

"The less you know, the less danger you are in."

*-Finding out what was dangerous about her research is the key.

-Based on her records

she wasnt paying her legal fees.

*No purchase for the operation can explain such a cash flow.

-Cannabis financed...

-Her research.

Lab results.

The plant is an Artemisia annua.

-Used in Chinese medicine.

*-This variety of plant is cited

in a folder.

It has a component

Javanex, which is an antimalarial.

-And this is archived?

-It's archived.

An investigation has been opened

for deception and manslaughter.

-Just like that. *-Yes.

- We didn't know that was it.

*What were you looking for?

-I inquired about the laboratory

*which produces Javanex.

*The Sonopi laboratory.

-In summary,

Sonopi's Javanex has horrendous side effects.

-Francoise Martoli

had to look for an alternative to Javanex.

To distribute it in open source,

freely.

- Hence the Sonopi lawsuits.

To ruin her.

-She knew it.

-How do we find out what she was working on at Sonopi?

It's confidential.

-Ask her.

-Delphine Burand?

-It's an organizational chart.

She was her buddy at Sonopi.

-It's her.

Epidemiologist.

-The examiner could be lenient,

and save me from a stressful situation.

-I doubt it.

Stress is part of the exam.

To see if the future OPJ

knows how to manage the unexpected, and make the right decisions.

During investigations, you will encounter unforeseen events.

It's inevitable. -Yes.

But the commander is there.

-Ah!

-She is my landmark.

Only...

she won't be there for the exam.

The rules forbid it. -Certainly.

You told me about foreseeable contingencies.

How do you manage that?

-Confronted with this,

I set up an anticipation system.

For example, this morning

I had to go to the Jardin des Plantes.

Before setting off,

I took a plan of the garden, a plan of the greenhouse with the access points,

so I could get out of it alone,

without the commander.

And also a map of the neighborhood.

And I had prepared an itinerary

and a weather report,

even though I always have

two umbrellas in my bag.

-Two of them ? -Yes.

In case the 1st doesn't work. -Oh !

Good work ! - Hmm hmm.

I'm used to it, it takes me little time.

However,

this method is limited.

It is impossible

to foresee everything. -I see.

Listen, I...

I will digest this information

and give it some thought.

-It's colorful: digest the information.

-I'll let you go. Thank you.

-Goodbye.

-Hello.

-Commissioner.

-Come in.

The proc wants us to

clean up Sonopi, they are a major economic player.

-And big lobby.

- We can investigate if we have solid leads.

- We have something.

We have name of Martoli's equivalent epidemiologist at Sonopi.

-Very well.

-Hello.

-I found Burand.

It's going to be complicated.

A vegetative state

after a suicide attempt.

- Murder, suicide.

It's starting to pile up.

-According to the nurses, Martoli often came to see her.

- What else do we have on her?

-Her parents

died of malaria.

She was leading a fight against the WHO.

She resigned with along with Martoli.

- Thank you, Mr. Burand. -Thank you.

Françoise came to see Delphine.

They saw each other often,but less so recently.

-Why is that?

-She had become paranoid.

She blamed Sonopi for Delphine.

- You never had any doubts about Sonopi?

-Yes, of course.

But the investigation turned up nothing.

You have to face the truth.

Delphine was suffering, I wasn't making her happy anymore.

She wanted to die.

I would have preferred it to be the "bad lab" reason.

- I am more concerned about the gaze of others.

That's how it goes.

- For me, for a long time,

I was afraid of being rejected.

I camouflaged myself.

I pretended all the time.

-It's "masking".

But if you do it too often, you will end up burning out.

-Living

within society is essential.

But pretending to be someone else

doesn't allow you to be at peace with yourself.

It's a delicate balance.

-I'd rather be

rejected for who i am

than accepted for what I am not.

Before I used to look

like I was disguised as someone else.

-Astrid?

-Excuse me.

-You called me. -Yes.

I called you.

Not for you to make noise.

-Did you find it?

-I can't find it, I'm thinking.

-About what?

-About deadly poison.

Maybe that we got

the wrong poison, having perceived it through a filter.

-It's possible.

But why is that?

-Ms. Burand

was taking small doses of aconite for malaria.

She wanted to kill herself by taking a high dose.

-It's a poison.

-Exactly.

-The acacia.

-I don't see what you mean.

-Ah! That's a change for once.

Well...

We thought that the acacia

swallowed by Martoli

was what had killed her.

But tannin is also a remedy for aconite.

-The acacia was the antidote.

-Yes!

There you go.

Thanks, Astrid.

Thanks, have a good day.

-You're welcome.

-Baudelaire, I love it.

Uh... "My youth was only a tenebrous storm

"crossed by brilliant suns.

"Thunder and rain wreaked such havoc..."

- "Let there remain in my garden very few vermilion fruits."

It's wonderfull. -I believe you

are a mathematician. -I did well

to invite Nico!

It has put Tetsuo at ease.

-I don't like poetry.

- But poetry

follow the numbers.

The alexandrine is 12 steps long, the sonnet 14 lines,

and the rhyme is the unknown of a polynomial equation.

-Did you hear that ?

"Polynomial equation"!

-Crazy !

- Thank you, it's well mixed up.

-Let's talk about something else.

Where did you meet?

-Captain Perran,

that's my place.

-Astrid always came

to my uncle's store

on Mondays. -For my shopping.

- I'm there on Wednesdays.

One day she came that day instead.

And you, how long has it been?

-Oh ! They laugh.

We're... - Just friends.

-Since...

-we were 15 years old. -Already, yeah.

Yeah...that's crazy.

No no.

I have someone.

-Emma. -That's it.

-Excuse me.

Yes Fournier.

Do you see the time?

-11:11 p.m.

-Wait, calm down.

If it's so urgent,

come around.

See you soon.

-There.

It's strong,

but OK. -Good...

-The blood analysis.

- We already have that. -Yes.

Aconite is undetectable except when you know it's there.

- Could that be the real poison?

- In her blood,

there was enough aconite to kill her.

Same for Delphine Burand.

The latency time is short.

- The product was administered a few minutes before death?

-The killer

came to the greenhouse.

-According to the guard, no alarm went off.

-She let them in.

She knew

the murderer.

Hello Paco.

The Vésinet documents are for the repression of fraud.

There will be an investigation.

Well, that won't get your Françoise back.

But Nesmonge Industries and Sonopi will be in trouble.

And in my opinion,

they didn't kill her.

Someone wants us to believe it.

Hmm...

I knew you understood. -Commanding officer.

How are you ? -Hi.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Look what Martoli received in her mailbox.

-The library of the 5th? -Automated email.

She hasn't returned a book.

And when did she borrow it?

-The day of her death. -Yes.

-Thank you.

-You are welcome.

- Did she come accompanied?

- No, alone. She was taking the book to the hospital.

-To the hospital ? -We are organizing

readings in the hospital.

She was a volunteer.

- Which hospital?

-My pens...

-St-Joseph.

-St-Joseph?

That's where Delphine is... -Yes.

There is a review.

TMES-4396780023.

-What's this ?

-Let me look. - There, there, there, there and there.

-"We do not play with love".

-I know.

-Astrid...Musset.

-I saw it.

In the victim's lab.

Near the annual artemisia.

There.

-I love it when you do that.

It still affects me so much.

"We do not play with love".

"I love you." -"Delphine."

- They were lovers.

- They were kissing. -Yes.

Anthing interesting?

-No, she always read the same pretty text.

But she was always discreet, polite.

"Hello Goodbye."

- No rose is blue.

-That one is.

-I mean, in nature.

This is methylene blue,

mixed with water,

which gives it its color.

But it also tints the stem.

But here, this is not the case.

It's a real blue rose.

- You're a rose expert? -Hmm.

As a child, I read "The Mystery of the Blue Rose" over and over.

The whole plot is based on the mystery of this rose.

This is a real one.

-Who brought it?

-I don't know.

-Ah.

- This rose is her masterpiece.

It's crazy.

I didn't buy the idea, so she got to work.

And there you go. - How did she do it?

-She modified

the DNA of a white rose by incorporating a molecule

which turns hydrangeas blue.

It's the... the delphinidin.

-Delphinidin? -Hmm.

-Like Delphine.

- Delphine?

Delphine Burand?

- They had an affair.

This confirms it.

You knew ?

- She didn't tell me anything.

I should have seen it.

They were so in tune.

Francoise was

in love with Delphine?

Why hide it from me?

-To protect Delphine from her husband.

So that he wouldn't find out.

Well then ?

-I had seen those blue roses before.

It was at Delphine's after her suicide attempt.

-Her husband knocked over the vase. -Yes.

"I dropped the vase in a panic and it broke."

-He saw the blue roses. -Yes.

- And at the hospital, he was able to recognize them.

-Yes.

-And he went to the farm.

Because they saw each other often.

-Yes.

-He saw the roses and understood that his wife was cheating on him.

- Delphine.

-The blue rose,

it's getting a bit weird.

-It already is.

- Stop it, he doesn't like it.

- I was just patting him.

-Burand, how's it going?

-The telephone was limited to Vésinet, not to the greenhouses.

- I was switched off.

- But it was

at a restaurant where they went.

The staff saw him.

- The aconite acts quickly.

He couldn't poison Martoli.

-His wife

with whom he was having dinner left early, and he was alone for 2 hours drinking.

-Why stay alone?

-To recover from a break-up.

-Or fabricate an alibi.

- It's not illegal to drink alone.

- I won't contradict you.

But it is unusual.

Your telephone was confined to Vésinet on the day of the murder.

- Françoise made me come.

She talked about Sonopi again, I left, it pissed me off.

My visit proves nothing.

Does it ? -Indeed.

-We're done.

-We will meet again.

I will find the truth.

-I'm not so sure.

Please get involved

for Delphine's sake.

Good luck.

-Thank you, Paco, for your confirmation.

-Do not trample

on these documents.

-It's him.

The poison was given

in the greenhouse in the absence of Martoli.

-It was administered without Antoine Burand.

- An accomplice?

That doesn't work, no.

He killed her alone.

It's intimate, and it's not his style.

- Do you know the problem of Sam Lloyd?

- This puzzle?

- Yes, he invented

this mechanical puzzle.

This combination had to be resolved.

- Is it so difficult? - Hmm hmm.

Not difficult, impossible.

We cannot succeed because the starting situation

contains an error.

14 and 15 are reversed.

The investigation is stalled because of the time frame.

The poison could not have

been administered at the time of death.

It was brought and administered at two times.

-An intermediary.

An intermediary

allowed Françoise Martoli to ingest the poison alone

and without knowing it.

-Exactly. -Exactly.

Here is Françoise's Ventoline.

- You are relentless.

-The inhaler was

stuffed with aconite.

According to its serial number,

it's yours.

In my view,

you killed Françoise...

And put

your wife

into the coma. ...

*-It's Françoise's fault.

One evening, Delphine brought home blue roses.

I questioned her,

she ended up breaking down.

She said

that she was going to leave.

Leave me.

I lost the plot.

When I brought her her medicine,

I tripled the dose.

It was Françoise who made me do this.

-The crime of passion is no longer a mitigating circumstance.

- But that's it.

She had seduced my wife.

Why did you wait?

And kill her so long afterwards?

It's more of a passion.

- I didn't know who it was.

I slept on it.

I just wanted to find the one who had pushed me to this.

*-When did you realize she was "the one"?

*-The blue rose.

At the hospital.

I realized it was her.

She who had consoled me! I wanted her to pay.

You understand ?

-Not really.

And the judges won't understand either.

-Tetsuo saw Captain Perran last night.

-Really ? -Yes.

-They are friends. -Perhaps.

But I didn't understand what they were talking about.

I don't understand how romantic feelings work.

-What did they say ?

-The captain said that he has been in love with you

for years.

-What ? -He was in love.

However, I understood that being in love,

meant wanting to be a boyfriend.

But then, why didn't you tell him?

That does not make sense.

-Nico, in love with me?

You are sure ?

-He said it.

Ah.

I have a appointment

with Anne Langlais, I have to go.

Goodbye.

It is empty. -Absolutely.

We will fill it.

These :

are all the examiners.

I know them all, and their mannerisms,

their little flaws.

Here: all the possible locations

to review, and finally:

the ephemeris.

The climate is

the most uncertain part.

We will make this review a predictable contingency.

-Thank you.

Your file is well constituted.
