MURDERS IN BAYEUX

WOMAN: For an ultrasound, I
have April 3rd at 8:45am.

CLARA: April 3?

Three weeks is too far away.

I want to know the sex of my child today.

- I'll call you back if
we have a cancellation.

MUSIC IN BACKGROUND

MEASURED BREATHING

- It'll be all right.

CLERC: OK.
Thanks for the info, honey.

I'll look less stupid.

See you later.

The SR* is sending Capt Moreau.

Guy's a big deal.

EMILIE:\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h
Well, that's a woman.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

Pregnant, too.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

- Good morning.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Good morning.

- Lt Vincent Clerc.
- Adjudant Emilie Colombel.

- Capt Clara Leprince, SR of Caen.

- Leprince?
- Yes, Leprince, yes.

- We were waiting for Capt Moreau.

- He slipped in the shower
and had a sprain.

- All right.

- You can show me the body?

- Yes, of course.
- Yes.

- Follow me.

You need help?
- No thanks, I'm fine.

- The victim is Lord John Dewish.

An English aristocrat, has
lived in Bayeux for many years.

Yesterday around 5 pm
he went for a horseback ride,

and his wife reported him missing
to the police this morning

when she noticed the
horse had come back alone.

- He didn't come home last night
and his wife only noticed this morning?

- Yes. He was found dead with

an arrow stuck in his left eye.

- I was told you've ruled out an accident?

- Yes, the site is private
and completely fenced off.

I checked: the location
is not along any paths.

- Can you remove the glove? It
looks like he has a broken finger.

CLERC: It's a signet ring.

CLARA: Yes, it must be the family crest.

- Have you heard of the Battle of Hastings,

the one in the Bayeux tapestry?

- Well yes, I'm from here.

William the Conqueror was
robbed of the throne of England.

He killed Harold Godwinson
with an arrow to the eye.

Do you suspect a descendant of
William the Conqueror, lieutenant?

- No, that's not what I meant, but...

right now there's a question of
lending the tapestry to England,

and not everyone is happy.

Businesses are afraid that they'll
see their tourist numbers drop.

- And?

- And there is a person
who's very much in favor of it:

the expert in charge of tapestry
restoration, Diane Dewish.

The victim's wife.

MOBILE RINGS

. . .
WOMAN: Ms Leprince?

- Yes, its me.
- I have an appointment for you

next Friday at 4:30 for an ultrasound.
- End of next week for an ultrasound?

- Want it or not?
- Of course, I'll take it, I'll take it!

If you have another cancellation
between now and then, don't hesitate.

- Are you okay?
- Well yes, I'm okay. And you?

They have means, the Dewishes.

KNOCKS

- Good morning. Gendarmerie Nationale,
LEA: Hello.

Capt Leprince, Lt Clerc.

- We'd like to speak to Mrs Dewish.
- Come in.

FIRE CRACKLING

GLASSES CLINK

GLASS SET DOWN

- Here, Diane.

DIANE: (Thank you.)

- Do you work here?
LEA: Yes, I'm Diane's secretary.

I am assisting her with her
book on ancient tapestries.

She wants it written directly in French.

- Were you here when Mr Dewish left?

- No.

Mr Dewish goes riding in the
afternoon and I work in the morning.

- You can go, Léa.

Yes, go ahead. We'll
call you back if necessary.

- Sorry for this question, but
where were you last night?

- I went to lie down after John left.

We have separate rooms, it's always

been that way in my husband's world.

That's why I didn't
realize he hadn't come home.

- Can anyone confirm this?
A caretaker maybe?

SIGHS
- No. I was alone.

- Could I use your toilet?
DIANE: Yes. Of course.

At the top of the stairs.
- Thanks.

FLUSH.
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

DISTANT VOICES

. . .

- Do you have someone in the
family who can be here for you?

- My son Stewart.
But he lives in Australia.

FLOOR CREAKING

. . .

THE ESCAPE

John's family is very
well known in England.

The press won't leave us
alone, that's why we settled here.

- 'Very well known,' meaning?

- They are cousins of the King of England.

John happened to be
caught in the media storm.

- Tell me, were you and your husband
members of the archery club nearby?

- No. Why?

- Mrs Dewish, your husband
was killed in a very specific way:

he received an arrow in the eye.
- What?

CLARA: Like Harold Godwinson
on the Bayeux tapestry.

- But why?

- Perhaps due to the controversy
around the loan of the tapestry to England?

- John was for this loan too.

He supported me.

Do you think he was
killed because of me?

CLARA: I don't know.

Where is your husband's
horse? Can we see it?

CLICKS TONGUE

You unsaddled it and rubbed it down?
- Yes.

Shouldn't I have?

- No, you shouldn't.

- It compromises the clues.

- I'm sorry, I couldn't leave her like that,

she was covered in sweat.

- The stable. All of it.

- Forensics might find
something on the saddle.

And what'd the upstairs look like?
- She has a drawer full of fine lingerie.

There are still tags on them.

- She has a lover?
- I don't know.

I'd like to know more about this woman who

has a room separate from her husband.

- And sends off the
only witness to the crime.

- Let's go to the
tapestry museum.

I know the curator, my mother's friend.

He definitely knows Diane Dewish.

And we'll have the chance to learn
more about Harold Godwinson's death.

By the way, how'd you see
the link to the Bayeux tapestry?

I looked you up before coming.
You're not from here.

- It was my fiancee. She called me
when I was at the crime scene.

I told her what I saw and
she made the connection.

She knows the tapestry very well.

- And what about investigative secrecy?

- At least... it opened
a trail, didn't it?

How'd you come to be with Caen SR?

Where were you before?

TURN SIGNAL CLICKING

- Toulouse.

. . .

- Did you come back for family?

- Not at all.

ERIC 1: In 1064, King Edward of
England, having no heir,

sends his brother-in-law Harold
to promise the throne of England

to William, Duke of Normandy.

CLERC: Yes.

ERIC 1: So Harold crossed the Channel.
CLERC: Mm-hmm.

ERIC 1: To swear on the relics
of Bayeux Cathedral

to hand over the throne
of England to William.

Then Edward died.
And then Harold perjured himself

and took the throne of England.

CLERC: All right.

ERIC 1: William therefore raised an
army to take back what was due him.

And at the battle of Hastings,
William defeated Harold,

becoming king of England.

According to medieval literature,
William dismembered Harold

with an axe. If we had known this,

he would never have become
king of England. It was too barbaric.

CLERC: Indeed.
ERIC 1: So William and his supporters

told another version of Harold's death.

They said that William killed Harold

with an arrow guided by god himself.

Here, look. There. You see?

It's this arrow. The arrow of god.

The tapestry uses this version.

- So, if we continue, will we
come to William's coronation?

- Ah...

- No.

The end of the tapestry has disappeared.

If it ever existed.

People from the island of Alderney
embroidered it and kept it there.

- I miss your mother.

- When is this loan to England planned for?

- It's far from being offered. It's
unknown if the tapestry is transportable.

It's really fragile.
It must be restored first.

You know, it's a bit like
moving a masterpiece.

- Diane Dewish is working
on this project, right?

Yes, she's the head restorer.
An excellent professional,

She has my complete trust.

- Did you know John Dewish?

- Yes, I've seen him sometimes
at Friends of the Museum evenings.

He came mainly for social events.

- And she, how is she in her private life?

- I know her professionally, not personally.

No, I can just tell you that she's the
best textile archaeologist I've ever met.

- So, our victim was done like Harold,

Harold was killed for breaking a promise.

Maybe John Dewish
betrayed someone too.

- Lieutenant, we don't know if the assassin
reproduced the scene on purpose.

RAINFALL.
CATHEDRAL BELLS.

CLERC: Adj Colombel is giving you her desk.

- Oh, how nice. Thanks.

- Put the last one here.

- Well, what do we have?

- We have a crime scene that
perhaps suggests a broken promise.

- The victim's wife,
Diane Dewish, has no alibi

and she may have
got rid of clues on the horse.

- In any case, Forensics found nothing.

- What do we have on the Dewishes?

- No criminal record in
France for either of them.

She's American. They met in
London when she was studying.

- Marital and financial situation?

EMILIE: Married 25 years.

He has investments.
The manor is in his name.

She works, but earns little.

I looked at their bank accounts,
John Dewish used to bet on the races.

I found some bets on a sports
betting site, but nothing suspicious

- Diane Dewish told us they'd been
harassed by the English press, right?

- Correct.
- Did you find anything on that?

EMILIE: No. I'm doing some
research, but nothing's come up.

- We have to dig.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI need to know
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwhy they emigrated.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAsk the family in England.

Ask the English police if
they have a record in England.

We need telephone data,
contact the carrier.

- I'm taking care of it.

CLARA: And summon Léa
Renier, Diane Dewish's assistant,

for tomorrow morning, please.

- We should go.
You have an appointment.

- Oh no, I don't have an appointment.

- It's none of my
business, but. . .

I found you a slot for your ultrasound.

For- for the baby.
- Pardon?

CAR APPROACHING

CAR DOORS SLAM

- I'm sure it's a girl.

- I already said, I'm not telling you.
- At least you are reassured.

- It's nice of you to invite me to dinner.
- Sit down, sit down.

- You have the case file, right?
- Yes, it's there.

EMOTIONAL
MATHILDE: (Hi.)

It's been a long time.

CLERC: We're together. I
figured you'd find out eventually.

- If he had told you,
you wouldn't be there.

- I can confirm.
I'd best not stay.

Where's the bathroom?

- It's upstairs.

SNIFFLES

RAGGED BREATHS

FLUSH

FOOTSTEPS

It's mom's veil. I'm mending it.

I'm marrying Vincent.

And you, when will it be?

- You met Vincent at the Gendarmerie, huh?

Right?

You never give up.

- About mom's death? No.

I wanted to reopen the investigation.

Vincent helped me,

but there was no new information,

so he couldn't do anything.

- This is weird.

- We fell in love, that's something.

- Pff!

- Clara! Please.

Wait!

MATHILDE:
Today is the first day of

mom's new life in Alderney.

ANNE: There it is, girls. We're here.
CLARA: But what about your house?

Mom, you're not going to live here?

Mom?

Mom, you're deeply depressed.
You don't know anyone here!

- Clara, it's going to be okay.
- No, it's not going to be okay. Mom!

We were just going to
see the Alderney tapestry.

ANNE: It's going
to be beautiful and

I want to help these
women embroider it.

MATHILDE: Stop it, she'll be fine here.

- Did you know about this, Math?

- Yes.
- 'Yes'?

MATHILDE: Don't you
realize this is the first time

mom has embroidered since Dad left?

CLARA: Math, look,
we can't leave her here.

- Come on, Clara.
MATHILDE: Look, she’s already at home.

- Sit down.

CLARA: I'm serious!

(Stop.)

It's a girl, mom!

A little girl.

WINDCHIMES

CLARA: Lieutenant!

Get in!

Don't ever do that to me again.
- It was my idea, sorry.

- I don't believe that for 2 seconds.

Ten years since our mother's suicide,

she still believes it was murder.

She's obsessive!

- Not at all-
- You don't know her like me.

- Anyway, she made the link between
Harold's death and John Dewish's.

- Of course, she wants to teach me
how to do my job, like 10 years ago.

- Excuse me—

—but I don't get it, why did you
come back if it wasn't for her?

- I decided to have this child alone.

All my friends are in Caen,
it's easier. That's all I have left.

Belt.

EMILIE: Léa Renier is waiting for you.
CLARA: All right.

What does the family in England look like?

- I haven't spoken to
everyone, but apparently

John and Diane's
marriage was controversial.

She's from a modest background,
they married under separation of property.

- And the English police?
EMILIE: Slow.

- They need an official request.
Caen SR is handling it, I'm waiting.

- OK.

- (Thanks!)

- I didn't know Mr Dewish
that well, I rarely saw him.

He slept late in the morning,
so we didn't cross paths.

He and Diane lived different schedules.

- 'Different schedules.'

Could you tell if she was happy with him?

- I don't know.

- Does she have a lover?

- Léa, I understand your loyalty,

but you're being questioned as
part of a criminal investigation.

I saw Mrs Dewish's drawer of fine lingerie.

Apparently she just bought them.

Should we arrest you for
obstructing the investigation?

- There is someone,
but I don't know his name.

- Can you describe him to us?

I barely met him.

He's very young, I think.
Brown, curly hair.

- Did John Dewish know?

- I don't know.

- Lea?

- I saw divorce papers on
Diane's desk that were from him.

CLERC: This divorce would
have left her with nothing.

- Yes, as a widow
she would get something.

- Would she have killed her
husband with the help of her lover?

- It's a hypothesis.

RAINFALL

CORONER: He died between 5
and 8 pm from a cerebral hemorrhage.

As you asked, I checked the penetration

power of an arrow fired from a bow.

I can say this arrow went in
deep enough to cause bleeding,

but not enough to be
the result of an archery shot.

It would have
stuck out at least that much.

So I have to think it pushed it in by hand.

- So the killer isn't
necessarily an archer.

Lieutenant?
- Hmm?

- Do you feel all right?
- Uh-

CLARA: No, you have to get out
- All right. (Of course.)

RELIEVED SIGH

CLARA: Prints?

- Yes, but not usable.

- May I?
- Of course.

CORONER: Look. There.

The arrow is personalized.

CHIRPING

. . .

- Thank you.

- Has your discomfort passed?
- Yes, I'm fine.

GIGGLES\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

What's that?

- The little sisters of the murder
weapon. Two lost arrows.

I found a fence gap
you overlooked, Colombel.

- I'm sorry.

- The fence is a real sieve.
Someone could have entered there.

I found this feather.

It could have fallen from
a nest or come from clothing.

Get this this analyzed?
- Right away.

- Uh, I got the Dewish phone data.

I know who was Diane's secret visitor.
- Oh yeah? Who is it?

- Thomas Vanneau, 25. She
spends hours on the phone with him.

I also found something strange.

And it is: John Dewish
called the Central Office

for the Fight Against
Trafficking in Cultural Goods.

- Yeah, the OCBC, lieutenant.

While his wife is working
on loaning the tapestry?

Yeah, it's strange.

CLARA: We're going to
go see this Thomas Vanneau.

WIND GUSTS

Huh!

Not the same
standard as the Dewish's.

KNOCKS
Mr. Vanneau!

Gendarmerie Nationale!

- Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.

(Fuck...)

- Capt Leprince, Lt Clerc.
We have questions for you.

CLERC: What do you do for a living?

- I'm retraining. Graphic design.

I'm going to make products
based on the Bayeux tapestry.

- Being close to Diane
Dewish, you must have learned

about her husband's death.
- Yeah.

- Where did you meet her?

- At the Museum, while doing research.

- What is she to you?
- A friend. Why?

- A friend? She's a very beautiful,
attractive woman, isn't she?

- Listen, I know why you're here.

Diane and me, we're not a
project for the future, we're doing
ourselves some good, that's all.

And I'm leaving Bayeux soon, I had nothing
to do with the death of her husband.

- She had a lot to lose with her
divorce. Did that worry her?

- I didn't know she was
divorcing, she didn't tell me.

No, we don't talk much, y'know,
we have better things to do.

CLERC: We know you talk
to her on the phone for hours.

- It's exciting, right?
CLARA: Of course.

Where were you, the day
before yesterday, from 5 pm?

- Uh, here, all alone, I was working.
- GOOD.

Fine. We'll leave you, remain available.

- No problem.
- Nice tattoo.

- I want to remove it. A youthful mistake.
- I understand.

- I have a little one too,
also a youthful error.

My ex's first name.
- Hmm.

- Lieutenant.

CLERC: I'll not join you.
CLARA: That's fine.

- Wait. Can you explain why we
left like that? So we can talk?

- I saw that tattoo when
I was training in Intelligence.

It's a neo-Nazi symbol.

He tried to hide it before
we went in, didn't you see?

CLARA: Not only is Thomas
Vanneau part of a neo-Nazi group,

Intelligence tells me he's still on file.

CLERC: What's Diane Dewish doing with him?
- I don't know.

- Hi!

- Did you think you were in a shop?

You're gonna tell me this
is more of your idea, right?

- Your Nazi must be
after the Bayeux tapestry.

Are we going?
- Yeah.

- What're you doing? Where are you going?
- Oh shit.

CLERC: We have to go to the
cathedral for wedding preparations,

I had my afternoon set aside.
It won't be long.

- We have errands to run too.

CLARA: Mathilde, wait!

Wait.

Why would a neo-Nazi be
interested in the Bayeux tapestry?

- She can be part of the investigation now?

CLARA SIGHS

- What I meant is that the Nazis
tried to steal the Bayeux tapestry.

They brought it back to Paris, but
were interrupted by the Liberation,

they were never able to
go back to Germany with it.

- Why did they want it so much?

- Hitler wanted it for his
museum of Aryan art.

It was supposed to be
the highlight of the collection.

- How so?

- According to him,
it supported his ideology,

the superiority of
the Nordic peoples.

William was descended from the Vikings,
and succeeded in conquering England.

For Hitler, it was the
perfect propaganda tool.

Is that good?

- That explains why
John Dewish contacted the OCBC.

- Uh, the Central Office of, um...
- ...for the Fight Against Trafficking

in Cultural Goods, lieutenant.

- (Let's go!)
- John Dewish had realized that

Vanneau coveted the tapestry.

Right.

You have to postpone your appointments.

- Are you serious?

We're investigating a murder, Mathilde.

It comes before nice sweets, right?
HE SIGHS

- You're not saying anything.
- We'll reschedule, we'll manage-

- No postponing!

HE SIGHS AGAIN

- Go look for Vanneau.

I'm going to get Diane Dewish.

Lieutenant!

HORSE WHINNIES

CLERC: Vanneau's not home,
I'm there waiting for him.

- OK, perfect, I just
arrived at the Dewish house.

I spoke to OCBC on the phone,

they confirm they investigated
Vanneau at the request of John Dewish.

- What did they find?
- Nothing. He was involved in trafficking in

coins stolen from a Jewish
family during the war,

but they could have proven
his fiancée took everything—

—Juliette Meyer, a gallery
owner in Strasbourg.

Lieutenant? Be careful
I think he's dangerous.

- In your condition, you should've

- I got him, right?

DOOR OPENS

- I didn't kill my husband.

We didn't love each other
anymore, but... We remained friends.

He was okay with me
seeing someone else.

- That's your version.
I have another one.

By divorcing, you would
find yourself with nothing.

So you decided to sell information that
is very expensive on the art black market:

details on the transfer of the tapestry
to its place of restoration.

And all this with the complicity
of your lover Thomas Vaneau.

- But I would never do that!

- So explain to me your
relationship with a neo-Nazi.

- What?

I'm not sleeping with a Nazi!

- This photo comes from
the Intelligence Directorate.

Your husband had discovered
everything. He was going to report you.

ANGUISHED GASPS

Chief? Bring a glass of water.

- You have no proof!

- No.

No, but we have a victim
who knew everything

and who was going to report you.

Killed like Harold.

Almost a reproduction of the tapestry.

- Diane needed money.

She gave you information, that you resold.

And when John Dewish found
out about it all, you deleted him.

- No, I don't give a damn, that's
the problem! I shouldn't be here!

I didn't know she was divorcing, I
work for myself, and I have an alibi!

- An alibi?
- Yeah, an alibi.

- Go ahead.

- Thomas approached me at the
museum. He was interested in tapestry.

He asked me a lot of questions.
I love my job, so I answered.

John was no longer
interested in my work.

Only his horse and the
races counted with him.

- So, you told Mr Vanneau everything,

including measures taken
for transfer of the tapestry

DIANE: No.

But one day I felt like I'd
told him too much, it's true.

- How so?

- I told Thomas about where I
was thinking of moving the tapestry.

I felt bad about it later.

I confided in John. He told
me to be careful of Thomas.

I thought he was jealous.

I didn't kill my husband.

- Should we let her go?
- Yes, their versions add up.

Vanneau manipulated her and
nothing connects her to the crime scene.

On the other hand, with
Dewish going to report him,

Vanneau has a motive.

We'll know tomorrow
if his alibi holds up.

OFFICER: Capt Leprince?
- Yes?

- Your sister dropped this off for you.

- Oh, I didn't know she
was going to leave them.

Um... Good evening. See you tomorrow.

- Good morning.

- Yes, hello. Pardon. Sorry.

- And, uh... We know why
the Dewishes left England.

And it's not a pretty picture.

- It couldn't wait until I got there?

- I have breakfast.

CLARA: Well come on.

MUFFLED Thanks.
- You're welcome. Enjoy.

So, Shauna Brown:

20-year-old student;

filed a rape complaint
against Dewish in 2011.

She said she was sexually
assaulted outside a pub.

The courts didn't follow up,
lack of evidence.

And I received this just now.

Pardon.

Katie Miller, 43. She said
she was sexually assaulted

by John Dewish in 2012,
in the pub where she worked.

She also filed a complaint.
- Were there consequences?

- No, there were no witnesses, and
his wife provided him with an alibi.

- His own wife?
- Yes.

Diane Dewish.

- So?

What's it like to protect
a sexual predator?

Do you still sleep at night?

- Our son was little. I didn't want
him to know his father is a rapist.

- You knew your husband is a
rapist and you didn't divorce him?

- I thought about it.

But Stewart adored his father
and John took good care of him.

CLARA SNEERS

DIANE: I gave in on two conditions—

—he submit to a chemical straitjacket,

and we leave England. And he did it!

It was the end of
my life as a woman.

Until Thomas.

- And you're sure he never did it again?

- How could he have?
- By stopping his treatment.

When you have a chemical straitjacket
you don't flirt with everything that moves.

- I'm looking, I'm looking...

No. No trace of sexual
inhibitor in his analyses.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Excuse me. Hello?

- If Dewish stopped taking his treatments-
- He could've reoffended.

- Yes, except he doesn't have
a criminal record in France.

- That's not to say nothing happened.

We need to look into places he frequented,

whether he behaved
inappropriately with other women.

- All right.

Coming?

- I'll join you. I need to relax a bit.

- All right.

you when mom died.

But I really thought
she had been killed.

- Why would someone hurt her, Math?

She went to an island where she
knew no one, to embroider a tapestry.

- I know now that you were right.

She committed suicide.

- What made you change your mind?

- On the island I met an embroiderer,
a friend of mom's, Rebecca.

She told me that mom had
a breakdown shortly before she died.

- You've been back to the island?
- Yes, not long ago.

For the 10th anniversary
of the Alderney tapestry.

All the embroiderers were there.

- What happened to cause mom's breakdown?

- Rebecca showed me
something mom embroidered,

something really weird.
You want me to show you?

- Mm-hmm.

- You see this thing?

- Yes, it's weird.

- We find this type of motif
on the Bayeux tapestry.

But Alderney's was to relate the end

of the Bayeux tapestry,
this wasn't planned at all.

Mom added it under the

coronation of William the Conqueror.

- She could've made a mistake.
- No. It wasn't like mom.

And not on a project like this.
- Let me see.

- In addition, embroidering
this motif in this spot

was like wanting to
sully William's coronation.

- Why this?

- On the Bayeux tapestry, this sexual motif

represents war rape.

In short, the head embroiderer got angry,

Mom had to take everything out.

It was a month before her death.

According to Rebecca,
Mom never really got over it.

- Why didn't she tell us anything?

- I don't know.

- Mom looks beautiful in this photo.

Will you send it to me?

- Give me your number.

- If you promise
not to harass me, yeah.

THEY LAUGH

- The Strasbourg police
questioned Juliette Meyer,

Thomas Vanneau's girlfriend.

She confirms that he was
with her the night of the murder.

- Have it transferred to Caen,
the OCBC will take over.

DOOR OPENS

- I just went around the bars in town.

A manager confirmed that John Dewish
wasn't a model of finesse with women.

But nothing more.
No one else noticed anything.

I have a list of regulars
we can interview.

- I'm taking care of it.
- Thanks.

No trace of break-in.
PROSECUTOR: And Thomas Vanneau?

- No. He's in custody at OCBC.
- Do you have another lead?

- Perhaps it's the same
killer as her husband.

But I no longer have any suspects.
- Right, keep me updated.

- Very well. Thank you,
Mr Prosecutor. Goodbye.

All right...

We'll let them finish.
We'll continue tomorrow.

- Are you all right?
- Yes, I'm fine.

CLERC: Excuse me.

There's just one thing I don't understand.

What were you doing here
in the middle of the night?

- The Dewish's son must have arrived
from Australia. He must be informed.

FOOTSTEPS

KNOCKING

- Uh, Vincent just left.
- It's you I've come to see.

Can I come in?
- Yes.

- I came to show you something.

Look.

- Why are you showing me this?

- Do you recognize it?
The dragon, the leaves?

- Mom's motif.
- Exactly.

Except that's not Mom's motif.

It's John Dewish's signet ring.

- And so?

- And so, um...

And so, John Dewish was a sexual predator.

Maybe he went to Alderney.

Maybe he saw mom there.
Maybe he attacked her.

You said it yourself:

it evokes a rape scene.
- Mmm...

- You also told me that mom couldn't
be wrong, not on this embroidery.

So why would she add this
dragon and these leaves? Huh? Why?

- Do you think he raped her?

- That's why she killed herself.

- That would explain why
she didn't tell us anything.

She was ashamed.

- It's not up to victims to be ashamed.

- Are you sure he went there?
- No. SNIFFLES

No, I'm not sure of anything, I-

I saw on the Internet that his wife, Diane,

also consulted on the tapestry on Alderney.

- Mm-hmm.

I wanted to ask her if her
husband had accompanied her, but-

but she was murdered last night.

GASPS

I'm going to go to Alderney.

If Dewish went there,
someone must have seen him.

- I'm coming with you.
- No, you shouldn't be there.

- Yes.
- Math!

- I need to know if Mom
killed herself because of him,

because I pushed her to stay!

Clara! How? How can I live
if mom died because of me?

MOBILE RINGS

. . .
- I have to take it.

. . .
Hello?

CLERC: Can you hear me?
- Yes!

- The Dewishes' son is still in Australia,

he wasn't coming to his father's funeral.

Apparently he was aware of his actions.
- Oh really?

- He's taking the first flight.

- All right. And identification, anything?
- Yeah, no fingerprints matched.

But her death by blunt object
between 9 and 11 pm is confirmed.

There's nothing else.
I'm starting the area canvass.

- Start reconstructing Diane Dewish's
schedule over the last few days!

She may have been in contact this morning.

- Very good.

Uh... I don't understand what
you're going to do in Alderney.

- I'll explain later.

- Can I?

Is this mom's ring?

She would have made
a great grandmother.

- The best.

- I miss her.

- Me too.

- Clara?

Actually, I can't do this.

I'll wait for you at the pub, okay?

- It'll be all right.
- (It'll be all right.)

REBECCA: She embroidered it right here.

I remember very well.

There was a journalist.
That's why I have the photo.

- What state was my mother in at that time?
- She seemed to be...

disoriented.

Like her hands were working by themselves.

She was like a sleepwalker.
I had never seen it like that.

- Why didn't you tell the investigation?

- She told me she was
being treated for depression.

I thought she was having a bad day.

PAGES TURN

- This man. Have you seen him?
- Yes.

Diane Dewish's husband,
consultant on our project.

When he came, he
touched everything.

He even put his
hands on the tapestry.

His wife was embarrassed.

- And... when was this visit?

- The day Anne died.

- I don't understand.

Not the day she
embroidered that motif?

- No. That was a month before.

I told Mathilde that John
Dewish had come a second time.

Didn't she tell you?

MOBILE RINGS

CLARA: Mathilde, where are you?

Why didn't you tell me you were
back here last week asking questions?

What are you fucking playing at?

BARMAN: "Hi."
- Good morning. You speak French?

- I try.
- A beer please.

Alcohol-free.

BOTTLE CAP
RATTLES

Thank you.

I'm from the French Gendarmerie.

I know you don't have to
answer my questions, but...

I'm investigating a death.

A woman.

She lived here in 2013,

and worked on the embroidery
of the Alderney tapestry.

Anne Leprince.

Do you remember her?
- Yes.

She often came for a
drink in the evening alone.

We chatted a little.

- And him?

You saw him?

- Yes, he slept upstairs. I rent rooms.

- His name is John Dewish. By any chance
do you still have the dates of his stay?

- February and March 2013.

One evening he, uh...

he sat at the bar, um, next to her,

and he tried to talk to her.

But she wasn't interested.

- Do you still remember
everything about it?

The dates? The names?

Ha!

My sister asked you the
same questions. Of course.

Do you want to know
what I found? Huh?

Why don't you answer
when I call? No more battery?

- John Dewish came to this island twice.

I think the first time he
met mum was at the pub,

and that evening he followed her.

- Just to here.

And he raped her
there, on the beach.

Away from everything, and everyone.

She didn't know his name.
But she saw his signet ring.

And the next day, in a state of
shock, she embroidered the pattern.

- A month later,
John Dewish came back.

He went with
Diane to the library.

And then mom saw his ring and
recognized him, and she had a name.

But he was afraid she would report him.

So in the evening, he
came here and killed her.

- You manipulated me again.

- Now you know I was right all along.

Fuck, if she committed
suicide she'd have left a note!

- Lots of people commit suicide
without leaving a note! It's my job!

- SHE DIDN'T KILL HERSELF!
HE DROWNED HER THERE!

Now you know!
- And what is that?

Do you have any proof?

Did you see him,
see mom's body? No!

There was nothing on her body! No marks.

No trace of strangulation,
of fighting back, nothing!-

WAIT!

How did you come to understand?

- One evening, John Dewish
came to the conservatory.

Diane had visited with her
students, he came to get her

but she had already left.

So this asshole pinned me
against a wall, and I saw the ring too.

I had come back from the Alderney
tapestry 10th anniversary fete,

I recognized mom's motif.

Rebecca had shown me a photo.

- Why didn't you tell me anything?
- Now he's dead.

And you know what? Justice is done.

- Math? Why do you say that? Math!

Why do you say 'Justice is done'?

Don't tell me you attacked John Dewish.
Did you go after Dewish?

Huh? Obviously.

You didn't stand by and do nothing.

Where were you the night of the murder?

- I working on an order at the conservatory.
- Oh yes?

- (Yes.)
- Alone?

- Go screw yourself.

- (Fuck.)

MATH!!!

- Let me know when you calm down.

- What's the matter?

- I'm warning you, if you're
covering for her it'll cause problems!

- Oh, are we familiar
now that we're family?

- Leave him out of it, I told him nothing!
- About what?

- Mom was raped and
murdered by John Dewish,

now he's dead and
she thinks I killed him.

CLARA: Mathilde! You have
24 hours to tell me the truth!

- What the hell is this?

POUNDING ON DOOR

- HEY, CALM DOWN!

Who is it?

CLERC: Open up, Clara.

You're wrong!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

Mathilde would never
do such a thing. Never!

So she lied to you, it
doesn't make her a criminal!

Clara, what are you going to do?

She's your sister, she's my woman.

I don't understand how you
can imagine her killing someone?

- You must learn to choose
between your heart and your duty.

- What did she say?
- Nothing more.

Are we going to bed?

- Go ahead, I'm coming.

- Honey... Your number
was on Diane's phone logs.

You called her twice
last week. For work, huh?

- Yes, I was looking to
reproduce an old lace stitch.

I wanted to know if
she knew any specialists.

- You're coming?

- Yes.

EMILIE: Why didn't you tell Clara

you recognized Mathilde's
number on Diane's phone logs?

- I don't see how this concerns our case.

- But it works against Mathilde!

She was convinced
John Dewish killed her mother,

and when she returns from
Alderney, as if by chance,

she calls Diane, she must
have spoken to her about it.

And a few days later Diane, who had always
covered for her husband, was murdered.

Do you think Clara is
going to report her sister?

- I don't know anything about it.

- I don't think so.
In her condition she'll-

for the murders of John and Diane Dewish.

- Let her go! Let her go!

It's fine! Emilie, take off her handcuffs!

- How could you?
- I didn't do anything.

- LEPRINCE! You're
too close to the suspect!

You tried to cover up evidence.

I'm filing a report.

You two are off the case.
Order from above.

I'm taking over.

- I want to talk to Mathilde. Now!

- She's in custody.

Find her a lawyer.

- (Fuck.)

CLERC: I don't believe it,
Emilie turned us in! I trusted her.

- She did what she had to do.

What's this about hiding evidence?

HE TSKS
Vincent?

HE SIGHS

- Mathilde called Diane
just before she died.

- And told her what her
husband had done on Alderney.

And you told Emilie.
- You have to help me.

You know Mathilde didn't do anything.
- The investigation will determine that.

- Ten years ago, you thought
your mother had committed suicide.

You were wrong.

Mathilde was right, you were wrong!

You want to screw up
a second time, is that it?

- You're disgusting to say that.

- I won't give up.

Well, I found a lawyer.
And you, anything new?

What are we doing here, process?

- John Dewish. He went to the races often.

It's the one aspect of
his life we haven't studied.

I still have everything on my computer.
I reviewed his phone data again.

I noticed a lot of calls
with an Eric Rousseau,

the horse trainer over there.

- And?

- And according to the Chamber of
Commerce, Rousseau was a bookmaker,

he founded an online
betting site in 2017,

he went bankrupt in the process.
Dewish was his largest shareholder,

he lost everything.

- John Dewish could have
contacted him to get his money back,

and it could have gone wrong.
It holds up, right?

- Vincent, it's just a lead. Come on.

- Yes. At his place some time ago.

But that had nothing
to do with this old story.

He'd turned the page.

- Oh yeah? He wiped the
slate clean just like that?

- I got eaten by big sites.

Hey, John saw it clearly.

- Why did you meet up again?

- He wanted me to train his horse.

- Viking?
- Yes.

Believe me, I did him a favor.

- Why a favor?

- Because she has track trauma.

She had an accident during a race.

She's dangerous.

We can desensitize
her, but it's a lot of work, huh?

- You answered yes, for love of the art?

- No. He gave me a wake-up.

CLERC: Pardon?
- It was well paid!

And I had set my conditions.

None of my jockeys
would ride his horse.

And he found one, partly for
her beautiful eyes, apparently.

- Did he give you a name?

- No. He didn't have time.

JUST GO!

EASY! HANDLE HIM GENTLY!

- Thanks, goodbye. Coming?

- Thanks.
- Yeah, is that it?

- Yeah, that's it. Pfff!

- I'll contact the French
Jockey Federation, to ask them

to launch an appeal for
witnesses among their licensees.

We're going to find this jockey.
Maybe she knows something.

- I have to go back to the church to
see the priest who was to marry us.

- I understand.
Maybe it's better this way.

- Oh, no, I'm not canceling, not at all.

It's just, the crime scene,
I dunno, it's bothering me.

The arrow, the arrow of god, Harold
Godwinson, killed for his perjury.

No, I don't know, I feel like
we haven't dug into this enough.

- Do you think the killer is a believer?

- I don't know.

CATHEDRAL BELL

. . .

Hello, father.
MONSALET: Hello.

So how are the wedding
preparations going?

- I'm here for work. I'm investigating
the death of the Dewishes.

- Dewishes?

- Diane Dewish was also murdered.

Have you received a confession from
someone who might be the murderer?

- Yes, yes, I received confessions.

But not those of your killer.

Those of Diane.

I knew her well.

She has been here several times.
- Mm-hmm.

- She wanted to know a little more about

the conservation conditions
of the Bayeux tapestry.

Because for many years,

the cathedral preserved the tapestry.
- All right,

did she tell you anything that
might lead us in the right direction?

- You know the secrecy of
confession continues after death.

But if I can help find this killer...

Diane knew who killed her husband.

- Did she give you a name?
- No, she didn't come for that.

She was in a kind of dilemma.

She was hesitant to report
her husband's killer because

her husband was a murderer too.

- Hold on,

are you telling me Diane confessed
to you her husband had killed too?

- Yes, yes. She considered him a monster.

She confessed to me that
he killed a woman, uh...

ten years ago.

On the island of Alderney.

- The island of Alderney?

- She wondered who was
the more horrible of the two.

- Mmm.

- The monster or... the monster's murderer.

I encouraged her to rely on human justice.

- Mm-hmm. Is that all?

- Yes.

Actually, no—

—I understood that she was
talking to me about a woman.

Whom she knew personally.

A woman who killed her husband.

- Hmm.
- That's it.

I don't know if this can help you.

STAMEN\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

- You responded quickly to my
call for witnesses to the Federation.

MAGALI: It's okay.

- So you're going to ride Viking?

- No. Ultimately, I refused.
- Why?

- The horse was a little difficult. And
the owner didn't seem reliable either.

- Meaning?

- He seemed more interested in
my breasts than my riding skills.

- Did he try something?
- No. I think he wanted to,

but I didn't give him a chance.

- Where were you on
Sunday between 5 and 8 pm?

- I had raced in Deauville. I was
on the way back with my trainer.

You can ask him, he's just there.

She had an accident two
years ago and had to stop.

- Are you still in touch?

No one wanted her anymore.

I'm trying to help her

—the horse no one can ride.

- Excuse me.

Thank you.

Yes. You got my message? BUZZER
CLERC: Yes.

I'll join you, where are you?

- In front of Léa Renier's place. Vincent,
we can't be sure of anything, OK?

She has an alibi for both murders.

- Yes, all right. But I went to
her parents. They covered for her.

And it fits what we know about the killer:

a woman Diane knew.
BUZZER

- She's not there.
- She must be at the Dewishes.

A group is supposed to take
care of Viking, and Léa told me

she'd take care of it herself.
She's at the Dewishes for sure.
