I don't fit into anything anymore! See this, my favorite?

It's not even worth putting on anymore- AFIDA: Ooooh!

- Hey! No, but- Okay! BITTER LAUGH

- Stretchy. I dunno, what do the boys think? Is it my color?

ELIOTT: Yeah, not bad! LUDO: Not bad.

ELIOTT: I like it, I like the color.

- Oh yeah? LUDO: It's nice.

AFIDA: 'Not bad'? THEA: Woo-hoo?

- The truth? It looks vulgar on you. Sorry!

No no no no! There's no more bread? I bought it yesterday,

are you kidding me? - (No, she understands everything.)

(She also took your nail polish and false eyelashes too.)

I've had it!

The cup is full, huh?

You've been squatting at my home for 6 weeks now.

Well it's high time you went, I'll explain—

ELECTRICITY BUZZES

ECHOING DAPHNE: Karmic payback!

Karmic payback!

OVERLAPPING Karma! Karma!

—take your stuff and...

and move into Eliott's room!

- Huh? MORGANE: Yes, yes!

Ha ha! And your bed is much better!

- Yeah but- - Well, Afida is our guest,

and she's going to end up breaking her back

on that shitty bed, huh? So we're going to...

PIGEON COOING

GILLES: So get moving!

He'll be here in a minute!

Everything has to be perfect! Perfect!

- Well thanks for the phone call on Saturday morning, huh?

If people could avoid getting killed on the weekend, it'd suit me.

- Morgane, that's not at all an outfit for a crime scene.

- No, don't you start, I look good in it.

- No, but really, you're late-

- I look good in it! - All right, but get dressed,

he'll be here in a minute for his big return!

Please! OFFICER1: Hello, Commander.

ADAM: Hello; hello. OFFICER2: Hello.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Ah! Commander!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Ah! Commander!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Gilles.

GILLES: Welcome back! ADAM: Thank you.

Hello, Morgane.

- Hello.

- Well, there you go, happy?

SCOFFS This ugly bump...

. . .

Meh!

She's not showing anything, well hidden, there you go!

- Gee...

I have the impression someone did a CloClo* here.

* REF TO A SINGER WHO WAS ELECTROCUTED

- Cathy Barriot, 50. In-home hairdresser, no husband, a daughter.

A neighbor found her like this. - Cause of death?

- Dr Benzaoui says the cause was electrocution from one of her hair dryers.

- Mmm.

Uh, okay... balls underfoot on the floor,

what do we think about an accident as a theory?

- Oh, oh no! Are you serious, an accident?

Well it's anything but an accident, looking at the balls!

They're all more or less the same distance from each other.

Oh, you're going to tell me, 'Well, they might've got like that by chance

when the jar broke and messed her up.'

No!

LAUGHS No, you're talking yourselves

into a rake here!

Fine, so... you have a rake.

A cognitive bias makes us tend to exaggerate the regularity of chance, OK?

ADAM: Yes. - Example! Example, uh...

If you flip a coin 100 times in a row.

TAILS

HEADS

TAILS

Right, you tell yourself that you're going to land on tails,

HEADS

TAILS

HEADS

TAILS

with more or less the same regularity as the points of a rake:

Tails - heads - tails - heads - tails - heads!

Yeah— no way! Not at all, because in fact, in real life,

chance is much messier than that. So yes, on average,

you'll land on tails as many times as on heads.

but the distribution of results is not at all the same!

It looks more like this.

Okay? So it's the same for the little balls.

Oh, ,well here: Jean-Claude, pass me the jar there.

That's it. Thanks. - No, you-

So, if it they spread out by chance, they'd look more like this.

MORGANE: There!

So, someone put the balls like that

to make us believe it was an accident.

So, she was bumped off.

Come on, to work!

- See Commander? Morgane hasn't changed!

- A little bit, anyway.

- Thank you.

- Thanks!

Sorry, I know you were looking forward to

seeing the young chick, but I've become too much lady.

- No worries.

- Apart from that— you?

Leaving Financial is all right? - Mm-hmm.

- No, because... you haven't told me much new lately.

- No.

- But you...

You still remember,

you know, our last conversation?

About the fact that I'm pregnant, and that-

- Oh yes, your little joke about babies, very good, yes,

very funny! I nearly believed it for 5 seconds!

Except I remembered: we never slept together.

- Yeah, no, Karadec—

—actually, that's understandable,

you don't remember because we were on LSD.

- Oh, well obviously that day was just a lot of noise.

And, it was April 1st that day-

- I wasn't joking, Karadec, all right?

I don't believe it, you don't remember anything?

We both danced!

We caressed trees! We spun each other around!

No? Nothing?

- Wait, it's coming back to me—

—yes! We slept together. HE CHUCKLES

- Of course!

- You were kissing a unicorn that was with us, and we

rode it over a rainbow! - Here's the rest of it!

- Thanks for everything. - Thank you!

BOTH: Have a good day, goodbye!

RELIEVED Whew!

So...

- Hello.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

MARTIN: Yes, hello?

- Cmdr Karadec, Judicial Police. Morgane Alvaro.

- Hello!

- We're looking to speak with Juliette Barriot, is she here?

- Uh, yes, she's in the shower.

Ju-ju!

HUMMING, ♪ THE WEDDING MARCH ♪

I proposed last tonight. - Great!

MUFFLED Hello!

JULIETTE: Uh- hello? What is it? Who is it? What's happening?

- The police, my love, apparently they want to talk to you.

- Hello ma'am. - Hello...

ADAM: It's about your mother.

- Yes? What... what- what did my mother do?

- Can we sit down?

- I'm sorry.

CRIES QUIETLY

My condolences.

. . .

ADAM: Did you have good relations with her?

JULIETTE: Me, with her?

My father left her when she was pregnant with me.

ADAM: And your last contact with her? When was that?

JULIETTE: (Last night.)

SNIFFLING I called- I called to tell her.

She was super happy for me.

MORGANE: Hey! Don't overdo it.

There are only personal development books in your library!

So what do we have here? Breaking Out of Family Domination.

Guide Against Toxic Parenting.

And my favorite:

How To Get Rid of Maternal Pressure.

LAUGHING Excuse me, but your calendar here—

—the only weekend you have booked in advance

is on the other side of France, on her birthday!

So in my opinion you couldn't stand your mother.

And I'm not throwing stones, because I know a lot about the subject.

SELF-DEPRECATING CHUCKLE

- Is it true, were you in conflict with her?

- Yes. - Why?

- Because she made advances to me.

- What?

- (Can I say?) Do you have to protect her...

- I'm not protecting her!

When I met Martin, mom didn't approve of our relationship,

Martin was too- too timid, to-

- Timid, too uptight, too dark. Not ambitious, she once said.

- Yes, that's right.

- And then, there was what happened in Sicily.

DRINK POURING - Last summer-

Last summer, I wanted to ask my mom to come on a trip with us.

I wanted her to get closer to Martin,

so she'd get to know him better.

Well, I wasn't disappointed.

'Martin, can you put some sunscreen on me?'

'Martin, will you go shopping with me?'

Martin-this, Martin-that, she monopolized him all the time.

And, at the end of the trip...

- She came into the bathroom while I was taking a shower.

To proposition me...

- ((There it is.))

That's when I understood that Martin wasn't the problem at all!

No!

The problem was just me, she can't stand me being happy,

me being fine, it was impossible for her. So, yeah—

—yeah, I cut ties. It's true.

(I didn't kill her.)

I wouldn't kill her, it's completely idiotic!

Last night, when,

when you proposed, the first thing I did was call her.

I wanted her to celebrate for me, I wanted her to be happy for me,

I mean, I wanted her to be my mother,

damn it, and she wasn't even capable of doing that!

She was way too much of a narcissist for that!

- We should hide until he's finished with the interrogation.

DAPHNE: Gilles, I'm working! HE SCOFFS

- (Yes!) SHE SCOFFS

TEXT ALERT

GILLES AND DAPHNE ARGUE IN GRUNTS

FROM: THEA LOOK, MOM...

- Uh, Daphne? Excuse me,

I have a little question about karma, the pigeon, and all that.

Well, you know that I've been hosting, for free, for over 6 weeks now,

LAUGHS CASUALLY a young woman in distress, anyway-

- Mmm, no. I didn't know.

- Yes, well, doesn't matter. All right, well,

let's say I want to kick her out because, really, she's abusing it, OK?

Do we agree I still keep all the points I've accumulated thanks to her?

SMUG LAUGH - Well, no.

- Why?

- Morgane, if you kick her out

you start from scratch— even worse!

Plus, it's winter, so you'd better find her an apartment to rent.

And I'd say at least a T4.* * 4 ROOMS +KTCHN & BATH

- T4? - At least! * 4 ROOMS +KTCHN & BATH

- A T4? She doesn't even have a job!

- Oh, don't talk shit. You haven't found her a job?

CELINE YELLING - Thanks. Wait a second,

No, I already explained, we're only taking emergencies today,

that's how it is!

Yes, ma'am, it a 4th floor. Yes, it includes utilities. OK?

Hello? No, it's not- oh shit! SCREAMS

- Wait, High Voltage Jerome isn't here?

- Oh, yes, this morning he took 4 weeks off.

The Commissioner is trying to find a replacement.

- Come on! Come on, come on, the banner, right now!

CROSSTALK - Unroll it!

- Four, three, two, one—

CONFETTI CANNON POPS

Welcome back! NOISEMAKERS TOOT

NOISEMAKERS TOOT

- So where are we?

- Uh, well... I've dug up the victim's daughter,

but I don't think she's our culprit, this morning

she was jogging at the time of the crime.

A friend jogging with her remembers their precise schedule and route.

- Oh, well, having people who remember the

important things in life so precisely is good!

LANDLINE RINGS\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h DAPHNE: Forestier.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

When- you?

All right. What kind of cases?

Okay, fine, thank you.

That was Forensics. They found DNA at the crime scene,

but when they ran it through the database

it matched three other cases.

- They're sure of the information?

- Yeah, they sent me the file.

The victims are all women from the Lille area.

and their deaths were classified as accidental each time.

- Oh fuck...

- Oh fuck— guys, we have a...

"Serial killer"!

- ...anyone? - Yes, you're in front of me.

so it's like you're talking to me! HE LAUGHS

- Morgane, do you read me Morgane? - Yes, I read you-

- Please? Hello, everyone, can I ask you for silence?

Silence? Thanks a lot.

So, I've called us together

because, as you know, DNA found on our victim

shows a match with samples taken in 3 recent cases.

The coincidence is disturbing,

but I ask that you not jump to any conclusions.

DOOR OPENS

CARON: Excuse me, is this the serial killer meeting?

- What do you think? - Oh, yes...

- Sit down. - All right...

CELINE: So, as I was saying:

I'm counting on each of you

to avoid any suggestions likely to stir up imaginations, you see?

SMALL FEEDBACK - Oh, hold on a sec,

can you hear me? Woo-hoo! - AMUSED Yes, yes...

- Before we start the meeting, a very important question:

what do we call our psychopath?

No, because if we don't take the lead, what will happen?

The press will take care of it and we'll end up with

a completely rotten name like 'The Upper France Killer,'

FEEDBACK, CELINE TRIES TO MUTE HER

forget about ever changing it- uh- Hello?

Hello? - Let's let the commander and

the lieutenant present the facts.

- Yes, so here's what we know about the 3 cases:

Emilie Levain, 32. Found dead at her home on October 14—

—apparent drug overdose.

No injuries, no break-in. No witnesses.

- We could call him: 'The Shadow of the North'!

DAPHNE: OK, next we have Claire Noval, 46,

found dead at the bottom of her stairs on January 20.

The police concluded that it too was an accident.

- Yeah, or we can go with accident, like:

The- the- 'The Accidenteur'! No!

'The Accident-tueur'! - Ahem!

- Next we have Mariam Ango, 19,

she was found having fallen from her bedroom balcony on February 17.

Here the police first concluded it was suicide

and then changed their mind

to conclude that it was an accident too.

- 'Be careful of the Ch'ti* Psychopath.' * NORTHEAST PERSON

- Good one! Not bad!

- Wait, even better, even better:

- 'The Ch'ticopath'! 'The Ch'ticopath.' MORGANE LAUGHS

CELINE BANGS TABLE

ADAM: Finally, Cathy Barriot, found electrocuted in her bath.

Her death seems accidental too,

but in reality is a homicide.

Suspect DNA was found at each of the victims' homes,

but not on the bodies. - So please,

in-house these are 'potential victims'

since at this stage of the investigation

there is no evidence that these deaths are homicides.

Isn't it, Dr Benzaoui?

KARIM: I've studied the reports of my colleagues, and

the causes of death of the 3 victims are good fits for the accident theory.

But we obviously cannot exclude the intervention of a third party.

- Well, I'll call the prosecutor so he can refer the other 3 cases to me.

- Oh my, this seems really premature to me.

- Oh! I have it, I have it!

'The Saturday Killer'!

- Morgane, that's enough now!

- Well, it rocks, doesn't it? - We've just seen the presentation

and for now there are no commonalities among the 4 cases-

Why 'The Saturday Killer'?

- Well, the dates.

October 14, January 20, February 17, and today.

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. So there: The Saturday Killer.

- Ah, 'No commonalities,' you said. Hmm.

- Very well. We'll request the referral of all 3 cases.

Now I warn you, this does not at all mean 'unlimited budget.'

So no national call for witnesses, no systematic DNA testing,

we're not getting carried away, is that clear?

MOBILE RINGS

- Yes? Hold on.

(Yeah- wait- don't move, I'll come get you. Yup.)

MORGANE: Come. Go on.

Okay, listen, it's not complicated. You put yourself here,

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRECEPTION

You answer the phone and then

redirect people according to the department, all right?

Let's go, test problem: Next person? Come up ma'am, your turn.

COUGHS

"Happy face"!

- Yeah, what is it? - Well, I...

I'm here about purse, it was stolen.

- And? Is that all?

- No, I'm doing- - So, ma'am, uh...

Complaints is on the 3rd floor. You're welcome!

Thank you and have a nice day! (Are you serious?)

- FAINTLY In cases like this... - She doesn't apologize for a theft!

You're the police now! Yeah, it's hard but you're gonna have to love it! OK?

Come on, "happy face"! - Who are you?

Commissioner, you've come to the right place. May I introduce Afida,

who is the new girl at Reception.

- She's a new start and I haven't validated recruitment?

- Yeah, no, I've picked out the best of the best, all right?

We're talking about someone with complete training at Lille South, all right?

MOBILE VIBRATES

As well as other areas of study,

the feather in her cap being 5 years of penitentary experience,

so in terms of CV she really has it up to there! So...

MOBILE VIBRATES, CAMERA CLICKS MORGANE: Um...

It's also really her childhood dream to have this one job, so

LANDLINE RINGS, SHE TRAILS OFF

OK really, regarding taking a psycho- feminologist, which is the minimum, well...

- Well will you pick it up?

- Hello, Police Nationale, go ahead.

- Oh, Mr Prosecutor. Oh, yes, he's with me.

Well you forget that we don't have the budget for a criminologist...

- There's some shit near your house?

How many grams?

No sir, you mustn't buy it, it might be stolen.

- I asked Forensics to come back and examine this crime scene.

None of the others are preserved.

Are you sure we're not missing something this time?

Samuel, hello! You doing well?

- Fine, thanks. - Thanks for coming on a weekend.

The file. Do you know-?

- Special Agent Alvaro, FBI.

- Yes, we know each other,

you're regularly at crime scenes.

Give me 5 minutes to study the file and I'm at your disposal.

ADAM: Very good.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

ADAM: According to her daughter, Cathy wasn't the type to let a stranger in.

So he either broke in, or he knew her.

- Karadec? - Yes?

- Look!

- What's up?

♪ Monday Monday, la la,

la la-la la! La la! ♪

♪ La la-la la! ♪

♪ A la la la- ♪

Well, you don't remember?

- Morgane, less is more,you're starting to really be annoying.

- I'm not kidding! You could make an effort

on your part to remember! - Okay, I believe you.

- Oh! Really! - Yes, I'm joking around.

SHE SIGHS

You were hallucinating, okay? After taking LSD.

It was a moment in your life when you were

going through a fragile time with Timothée.

Here I am, a reassuring male figure,

and your imagination got a little carried away there.

Let's go!

- Okay.

Your suspect DNA was taken from 3 surfaces with fingerprints.

We have a first sample: here on this radiator.

MORGANE REMEMBERS - We have a... "Serial killer"!

SCREAMING

CINEMATIC SCREAM, FADING

OK, well if it was a hallucination,

how would I know you were wearing black underwear that night, huh?

- Well I don't know, maybe because it's the color of 50% of men's underwear.

Sorry, I'm listening.

- We have a second sample on this glass.

Can you turn on the light please? - Yes.

ELECTRONIC FLASH RECHARGING

CINEMATIC SCREAM, FADING

- Okay. Well done on the underwear.

But in this case,

how would I know you have a mole on the right side?

Huh?

- I don't know, maybe because you saw me in the shower

when you came into my bathroom without knocking.

- And here is the last spot they touched.

- The instant hot water.

Why the water heater?

The water in the glass is cloudy.

Sometimes a radiator purge looks like that.

Maybe he's a heating engineer.

We know he enters the victim's homes without violence.

. . .

ELECTRICITY SHORTING

- He's not a heating engineer. In fact, he's pretending.

Look what I found by the bed.

There's a label with the price on it.

In my opinion it's his.

He dresses up as a heating engineer.

I swear, the guy is super creepy.

He has the intelligence of the Zodiac killer,

the barbarism of Jack the Ripper, and me,

me, I have to get my hands on him

before he claims another victim next Saturday,

you can imagine the pressure I have on my shoulders.

Huh? Hey! Are you there? - What?

- Listen, are you with me or what?

- Yes! You- you're under pressure.

- Oh, yeah, all right. Okay.

Uh, tell me Afida: where are we with finding an apartment?

- Come on, after Reception, I'm dead.

GRUMBLING - 'I'm dead, I'm dead,' but seriously,

it's not her chasing a psychopath all day!

- Well, no. - 'Well no'! People don't realize

getting into a monster's head, it's not nothing!

Do you have any idea about the after-effects on me?

- Hey, over here! Annoying! - I-

I warn you, if you sleep with her under my roof you can get out!

- Me? - Yes, you.

- Oh! - 'Oh oh oh oh'!

- I'm not like that. SCOFFS - Oh, Ludo, help me stretch?

- Okay, I'm coming! SHE MOCKS HIM

- Go on, run! Not limping anymore?

- You all right mom? You look stressed. - Meh.

- It didn't go well with Supercop?

- Well, no, I dunno...

the guy has the memory of a goldfish, what do you want me to say?

Okay, so we were on drugs, but from that to remembering nothing?

It's annoying! SIGHS

- You know what? Relax, you're getting a massage, OK,

you have to take care of yourself. - Aww!

Oh yeah! Good! SIGHS

Oh, the feet too! The feet, the feet, the feet. Ahhh!

Go ahead, a little more, lovely.

Ah, yes, there, something there....

SHRIEKS Ah! That's not good!

What's wrong with you?

- We need your blood

to do a prenatal paternity test in Belgium.

- Huh? - We don't have a choice,

you'll need diapers in 3 months, we have to secure child support!

ELIOTT: I have to find saliva from the three fathers.

We're set for David.

But then you have to ask Timothee and Karadec to spit in one of these things.

- You're even crazier than my psychopath! No,

I'm not asking them to spit in those things.

One thinks I'm a crazy sex maniac,

the other is convinced that I made up this baby story for a joke,

so no! Uh-

Gimme that.

A lock of hair, you can say it's for my class

- Get out, get out, I don't want to see you anymore! (Oh jeez.)

BREATHING HARD

Hello?

MENACING MAN: Hello, my beautiful.

What are you doing Saturday?

- Jeez, it's him! It's my serial killer!

Call Karadec while I stall him, all right?

- Uh, hello? Uh... so...

Uh, Saturday, I need to find my calendar,

stay on the line with me, huh?

- Don't try to trace this call.

We have a date, you and I. With death! EVIL LAUGH

EVIL LAUGH IS IN THE HOUSE

LUDO LAUGHING - YOU ARE COMPLETELY LAME!

THERE'S A SERIAL KILLER OUT THERE AND YOU'RE LAUGHING!

WHAT MENTAL AGE ARE YOU?

Oh, you're really not helping, huh?

CELINE: Hello everyone, before we start I'm going to ask you to welcome

Cmsr Charniere of OCRVP,* * VIOLENT CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS

and Capt Florentin Dupaule from the "Cold Case" squad in Nanterre,

who are joining us today. And of course the Prosecutor,

who you know, who is joining us given the stakes.

Commander, do you want to tackle it? - Thank you.

At this point we think the killer enters the homes

of the victims by pretending to be a heating engineer,

mostly because of this tool newly found at the crime.

- Yes! So yeah, that's me who discovered it.

So how did I do it? Well, I put myself in the killer's head and then-

- Lt Forestier is currently contacting all the stores

in the region that sell this model of adjustable wrench,

hoping this will allow us to identify a suspect quickly.

- Thanks for all the good work.

Commissioner, have you been able to move forward on a profile?

I imagine, given the seriousness of the matter, you've consulted a criminologist?

I know it helped us a lot in the Lily Killer case, with Pierre-Emmanuel.

NERVOUSLY - Yes, of course. Well,

for the sake of discretion, I preferred to ask someone internally.

but the profile is almost finished— isn't it, Lt Vandraud?

- Hmm? CELINE: Lt Vandraud, here present,

had a complete training in psycho-criminology in— what, 2021?

He volunteered to build the profile.

Lieutenant, you have the floor. - Yee-ah, uh, it was

more of a one-week course.

- Yes, one week, at the end of which

you finished at the top of the class, congratulations,

and you said how happy you were to have the opportunity

to make the training cost worthwhile. HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

CROSSTALK PROSECUTOR: Lieutenant?

Would you like to share your initial thoughts with us?

- Well- well- well, of course, of course, of course...

Uh, but given the specificities of the criminal scenario

and the dominant statistics,

that those killed were women,

I can already tell you, with certainty,

that we are dealing with,

a man?

PROSECUTOR: A man? Indeed, is that what the DNA indicates?

MOBILE RINGS

Anything else? MOBILE RINGS

- Yes Daphne? - Ah. Heh.

Maybe we should wait... - Okay, great.

Great, thanks.

The suspect used his credit card to pay for the wrench.

- There! - We have a name.

RELIEVED LAUGHS

VIAL: Miss? - Yes?

- Excuse me, do we know each other? - No.

- I'm sure we know each other, you're from the neighborhood?

MISS: Yes.

MORGANE: FBI! DON'T MOVE! - Arrrgh! Morgane!

Police! - Hands in the air, hands behind your back!

BOTH: Hands on the hood!

SIREN

- End of the road, "bro"! Don't try anything stupid,

because the helicopters will be here any minute, understand?

- Morgane? GET BACK!

Turn around, hands on the hood!

- What did I do?

- Simon Vial? - Yes?

- Hold on hold on hold on, what do we have here?

- I'm placing you under arrest as part of

the Cathy Barriot investigation.

- What? What are you doing? I didn't do anything!

- Karadec! BUZZER

- You know this woman, Cathy Barriot? - No.

Why?

- Because we found your wrench at her place.

The one you bought last Tuesday,

with other tools.

Work clothes, rope.

Explain to me what a retired insurance man is doing with that in his car.

- Hold on, it's not at all what you think.

Commander? I'm sorry, the prosecutor insisted I attend the interrogation,

and I give you a profile of the suspect.

- The prosecutor? - (Yes.)

- You didn't tell me he was an expert in criminology. Gilles.

- (I had no choice, it was Gilles or Morgane!)

- Hold on, stop for a bit,

the Commissioner asked me to take notes.

CROSSTALK

Okay, it's good.

MORGANE: So? ADAM SIGHS

- Gilles, you want to start?

- Oh, if you want- - Be my guest. Go ahead.

- Okay. Hello Mr Vial. - Hello.

- Uh... (what should I ask...)

A SERIAL KILLER IS A PSYCHOPATH CHARACTERIZED BY...

Your mother? You get along well with your mother?

- Uh, yes. Very well, yes.

- Oh, okay. (Okay.)

GILLES: Are you sure?

- Yes. - Um...

Do you happen to have another maternal figure

among your friends, like, a big sister, or maybe an aunt?

A little bossy?

- No.

YAWNS OSTENTATIOUSLY

- I yawned!

He didn't yawn back!

So he has no empathy, so he's a psychopath!

Game over, yeah?

Gilles, it's not the same with you...

Okay! Another test!

Listen to me carefully: this is a story about a guy

who goes to his mother's funeral.

On the way, he meets a girl and the next day kills his father. Why?

You'll see, watch this. Ha! So?

So? Huh?

- We were informed you were at Cathy's on Saturday morning.

Witnesses saw you.

- You're married!

That's the problem, isn't it, she's a castrator?

So you let off steam outside of your family unit.

QUIETLY - Okay... Okay.

Okay, fine, you've cornered me.

I've always had urges.

So from time to time I take action.

I'll spot a woman,

on the street, or in a store.

She obsesses me, until...

I tried to stop, but I can't do it!

- How many women?

- About fifteen. Actually...

Maybe more if we count the ones I didn't go all the way with.

- I take it you're admitting you killed Cathy Barriot.

Mariam Ango.

Claire Noval.

Emilie Levain.

No, wait, not at all, what are you talking about?

- The women you killed by

pretending to be a heating engineer, Dr Lecter!

- But I've killed no one!

I was a heating engineer just with Cathy!

She loved role playing games.

She's dead?

- You're telling us Cathy was your lover? - Yes.

For a few months now.

Nothing serious, but we got along well in bed.

She's been teasing me with her outfits for weeks.

Then it was the heating engineer fantasy.

So I invested in some gear.

But when I arrived at her house yesterday, she

told me she was no longer in the mood, and threw me out.

Frustrated? For sure, but actually kill her?

No.

No, I didn't do that, I didn't do all these bad things.

- Would you agree to take a DNA test?

- Yes, do all the tests you want, I didn't do anything!

You won't say anything to my wife?

MORGANE & GILLES SIGH, GRUMBLE

- Yes, give it to me.

You're sure? There's no possible margin of error? ((Shit!))

Mmm. All right, very well.

He was the right one?

Your suspect's DNA doesn't match those found at the crime scenes.

- Yeah, and I found no links between him and the other victims.

- Well, are you sure? It's weird,

the yawning trick works every time, it's scientific! Wha-?

- You have anything new on the other 3 murders?

No, at the time we learned nothing interesting from the witnesses.

On the other hand, I might've found a new victim:

Emma Perrin, 29.

Disappeared without a trace on Friday, April 15, 2022,

while going to Arras by car.

CHUCKLES - Well, that's a Friday. Not our guy!

- Yes, indeed, it doesn't fit with the other cases.

Are you sure?

- Uh, the team in charge of the case at the time

concluded she disappeared voluntarily

because they found her car abandoned near a train station.

Except according to the file, Forensics found

a drop of blood in the passenger compartment.

According to the lab, it matches our DNA.

- April 2022 is more than a year before the other murders.

- This young woman could be an earlier victim of the killer.

- Yes. Maybe the first.

- I- I'm going to go pee. Yes, uh... ADAM: Daphne?

Can you send me the file, please? CELINE SIGHS

- Hurry up, we're going to get caught!

- What the hell are you doing here?

- Actually, we're... studying wastestream sorting!

It's for school.

- I said no DNA test, are you crazy or what?

Don't tell me you're going to bug Timothee with this too?

- It's fine, we're not stupid! We know you don't want to hear about it.

So we delegated.

- 'Delegated' how?

MOBILE VIBRATES

SCOFFS

MOBILE VIBRATES, HE SIGHS

MOBILE VIBRATES

- Morgane? I told you to stop calling me. - No, so

wait, Timothee, I know you don't want to

talk to me anymore, but believe me,

you have to... MARIE: Hi there!

HE SHRIEKS MORGANE: Hello?

HE PANTS Timothee?

PANTING - (Stay calm!)

TIMOTHEE: I have money.

- Timothee, put the lady on! Put the lady on! Can you hear me?

- Spit in here!

Spit in here!

SPITTING

- Ow.

- OK, it's not very subtle, but don't worry, he won't know it's you.

- And stop bothering Morgane, or- CUTTING SOUND

MORGANE: Timothee!

Stole your client's saliva?

I'm tracking a serial killer, Ms Lawyer, do you think I'm a fool?

Uh, well, 'Morgane' is a very common first name

among 35-to-50 year-olds, so that doesn't prove anything, huh?

Hello?

Hello?

((Oh shit!))

There'll be a complaint against me, are you happy?

Well done!

- She made me!

- Shut up! You shut up!

- Yeah, me too! She forced us!

- Of course. THEA: Are you serious here?

Hey, I just wanted to help, I'll have you know!

- I don't need your help, okay?

WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION WITH THE BABY'S FATHER ANYWAY?

I DON'T CARE! I'LL MANAGE!

- You don't handle anything at all, you're just afraid of the outcome!

I know you'd like it to be Supercop,

but HE DOESN'T CARE mom!

If you continue like this, this kid won't have a father!

You know what? I don't care!

It's not my business anymore. CRYING

- Where do I throw this... - Shut up.

LEO: It was Friday.

Emma went to her parents' for the weekend.

It was for their wedding anniversary.

She wanted to surprise them.

The investigation found that's the last time you saw Emma, right?

PASCAL: Yeah.

The next day Leo had no news from her, so he called us.

She never arrived.

We didn't know she was coming, so we weren't worried.

CORINNE: Sorry, but we've already told you all of this.

I think you have news for us.

Have you found my daughter or not?

- I'm sorry ma'am, um, I don't want to give you false hope.

We have no new information regarding Emma.

We're working on another case.

There may be a connection with your daughter's disappearance.

- What kind of case?

- A "serial killer"! Yeah!

Shouldn't I have said that?

- Nothing is certain at this stage.

DNA identical to that found in Emma's vehicle

and appearing in several other cases

is what we're working on at the moment.

- I knew something happened.

Your colleagues told us over and over

that she had disappeared voluntarily.

But she would never have done that to us!

Never. Instead of looking for her they- - Corinne...

We don't know what happened.

- I understand that it's difficult.

I can't guarantee that we'll do better than our predecessors,

but I promise to try.

Would you like to start from the beginning?

Where was Emma last seen?

ADAM: Do you recognize this woman?

We're trying to understand what happened to her.

She disappeared on April 15, 2022, as you see in this video.

She got gas here that day.

This video is the last sign of her that we have.

CLERK: I'm sorry, I don't remember her.

- Are you sure?

- Can I get the key to the toilet please?

YAWNS OSTENTATIOUSLY

- Morgane, I wasn't finished with my questions.

And stop yawning all the time. Honestly, it's ridiculous.

- Didn't I tell you it's infallible? What, you don't watch TV?

- Here you are. - Thank you.

What did I tell you? Infallible!

- Why the bathroom key? You wanted to see if she's a right-handed sociopath?

- No, the bathroom key is because I need to pee.

She wasn't alone.

- What do you mean? - She wasn't alone!

Look. - Yes.

- Back the video up a bit...

There. There! - Yeah?

- She pays for the gas, right? And then,

she asks the clerk for the key to the toilet, and look.

The clerk hands her the keys with: the wooden key fob.

Oh look! The key to women's toilet

is the one with the crocheted frog!

The wooden one over there is the other one, it's the guys one.

So...?

- She was accompanied by a man, right?

Her husband confirmed that she went alone.

Unless she picked up someone on the way. - ((A hitchhiker...))

A hitchhiker! Yes, isn't that a psychopath thing?

- There's more in the other video,

we can see the men's toilet.

- Oh fuck.

Okay, let's say she was going the speed limit.

It has to be before the gas station, logically it was this road.

- Wait. The speed limit is 110 kph,

and she lives about there. And we're here.

- There, yes. - How far is it?

50 km at 110 kph— a half-hour.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTIME=DISTANCE/SPEED

And twice as far. Why?

- Okay. And why avoid the national highway?

- Because it was closed. - How do you know?

- Look here. There's a town called Ligny-sur-Canche,

because there's the Canche, it's a river. - Okay...

- There's the national road which passes just below.

But that evening it was raining cats & dogs, according to our suspect's raincoat.

So?

- So they block the road for flooding,

and she had to take a detour.

And she took this road there! Yes!

Yes!

SHE SNIFFLES Did I do something wrong?

- No, nothing.

- Balls. - No, it's nothing.

- Well, yes! Ha... - No! Well...

- What is it? - It's just that you...

- What? - You have sort of the same face as...

As the time when...

BABBLES

You know what I mean?

- Yeah. - You have to stop this right now!

You're being heavy-handed.

You told me we could work together, we set certain limits Morgane!

You agreed! - Okay, sorry.

- What's going on? - Okay, my bad,

it was a bad joke.

So, if she took this route,

where could she have picked up a hitchhiker?

ADAM: What's this building?

ADAM: Do you recognize this individual?

- It looks like Jonathan in shipping.

Is this about the thing with Géraldine?

He's not really so bad.

- What's the thing with Géraldine?

- Oh nothing, it was all an accident.

- Want to tell me about it?

- He followed her out of the factory...

YAWNS OSTENTATIOUSLY

MORGANE: I am just dead! GASPS SLIGHTLY

- Do you like riddles?

So this is the story of a guy who goes to his mother's funeral.

FLUSTERED He meets a girl.

On the way he meets his father— or, uh, no, his mother-

- Who died? - No one! No one.

I'm going to call my colleague who-

- Careful of the machine! It's dangerous!

ADAM: Police! SHE SHRIEKS

JONATHAN WHEEZES

We received the results of the comparison.

Your DNA matches that found with all the victims that I just named for you.

- Yes, there's a good explanation.

ADAM: Certainly.

ADAM: Yes, it's that you were there when they died. SIPPING & MUNCHING

ADAM: Claire Noval.

Emilie Levain.

Mariam Ango.

Cathy Barriot.

- I don't know these women.

- Let's find out where you were last week.

- I was at home.

- Is there a witness to that?

- No. No one.

I was alone, I was sleeping.

- All day?

Frankly, I was looking after my father on the "weekends", but

now he's dead, so when I'm not at the factory...

I sleep.

- The factory. Let's talk about it.

One of your colleagues is planning to go to HR.

According to her, you followed her one evening after work.

She was so afraid, she ran across the road and almost got hit by a truck.

- Géraldine.

I didn't want to scare her. I just wanted to talk to her.

- Talk to her?

About?

- I don't know.

She seemed nice.

- 'She seemed nice'!

He must've thought that when he saw me!

That's why he wanted to kill me!

- Sssh! Morgane! Sssh!

- And her? She is Emma Perrin.

We have a video proving that she picked you up hitchhiking on April 15, 2022.

I guess you don't recognize her either.

- Oh!

Yes. I remember.

I was coming back from the factory, but there were no more buses

and it was raining hard.

She was kind.

- She disappeared that night.

We've never found her body.

What did you do?

- I did what, with whom?

She picked me up and dropped me off at home. That's all.

- Look, Gilles! Look!

The evil in his eyes! Ahh!

- Morgane, you're going to make us miss the confession! Sssh!

- A spot of your blood was found in her car. Do you have an explanation?

- I must have had a nosebleed.

It's the drugs the doctor gave me after dad died.

They cause them.

- Oh jeez, oh no,

Disappointing! - What, AGAIN?

- Enough, enough, you're cured! There you go, he's not a "serial killer."

- What do you mean, 'not a "serial killer" '?

- Well, no: look!

Look, he's sweating like a pig there— don't you see?

He's staying moist,

here, here, here, here, the moustache.

I guess it's a side effect of the medication

he's been taking since his father died.

- Fine, okay, he's sweating— so?

- 'So'? The guy works in a cosmetics factory,

so he spends his days packaging wipes and cotton swabs,

like the ones Forensics uses at crime scenes.

I'm guessing that in his job he has to wear gloves,

SWABS

but seeing how he sweats, at some point he wipes his face, and BAM—

he contaminates them with his DNA.

They end up in a Forensics gear case, and there you go.

You can imagine the rest.

- Wait, is what you're saying that

this could contaminate an entire collection kit?

It makes no sense! Then how do you explain

your theory of a killer who kills only on Saturdays?

- Oh, that.

It has nothing to do with it, it's because the Forensics guy is Jewish.

SHOCKED MURMURS

- Your friend Samuel, who takes all the samples,

he wasn't at the crime scene Saturday morning.

He joined us in the afternoon and came on foot,

and then he managed not to touch the light switches.

- Can you turn on the light please?

- So I conclude he's observing Shabbat.

Suddenly on Saturday evening he's replaced by another guy

and this is the guy who has the contaminated swabs.

- Wait, you mean the original investigators were right,

the women's deaths were accidents? - Yes,

apart from Cathy Barriot with her bath bombs,

so I can assure you that she was indeed killed.

And besides, uh...

I think we should maybe refocus on her a little bit,

because lately it's been a little scattered.

- That's true. - Yes.

CROSSTALK

- You're the one who told them about a serial first!

- I was just following the facts! How could I know your Forensics blew it

with contaminated supplies? - They're not my Forensics!

- Yes, your Forensics!

- What're you doing here, looking at real estate?

- Hold on.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

CAMERA SHUTTER - What are you doing here?

- Listen, someone left a lot of old cardboard boxes on a table,

so I'm selling everything on the internet. I have lots of buyers, seriously.

- What old cardboard boxes, that's evidence from the victim's!

- Oh...! - Put it all back before someone sees.

Wait. Oh, well I'm surprised you have so many customers,

this thing's not antique, you see them for 5 bucks!

- What? No!

- The manufacturer of this lighter has developed a super complicated code

to drive collectors nuts— I know, my father was one.

A thing with dots, slashes, roman numerals,

each corresponding to a year of manufacture.

You get the gimmick? - Uh, okay.

- For example, see, this has two backslashes,

so it dates from '86. - So you think I can get more of this?

- No, I don't think you can! You can't sell evidence,

otherwise I would've already done it!

You'd get hard time. You don't need that.

(Oh fuck, it's the Lannisters!)

(It's the Lannisters!)

Karadec! Come here, come here! - What is it?

CHUCKLING - Yeah! Oh, right— Cathy, the victim:

we agree that Sophie told us she was doing everything she could

to split up her and her boyfriend Martin? - Yes.

except it's not because they wouldn't last, she actually

wanted to prevent them from doing something hugely stupid.

Because look: this lighter from Cathy's.

See the logo? - Yes...

- It's from Martin's work: Vallès & Son Imports.

It's a goodie, something companies give their best customers.

What the hell was it doing at Cathy's?

The lighter.

- I don't know, maybe it's a son-in-law gift to Cathy?

- HA! I thought so too, except that

the lighter dates from 1986! Look, it's written on the bottom.

In 1986 Martin was still in diapers, so he didn't give it to her.

So, the business is called 'Vallès & Son,' so I conclude

that the giver was the one who was the boss at the time.

And the boss was? It was? FLICKING LIGHTER

Oh fuck, I had a final flourish like that— (oh, fuck). . . .

- Do you recognize this lighter?

- No.

- We found it in a box at Cathy's. Are you sure?

It's your company logo.

The company your father founded in the '80s.

According to Cathy's relatives, at age 35

she had an affair with a married man.

She got pregnant.

But he refused to recognize the child.

They ended up breaking up, and since then

she cut off all contact with him.

The child he fathered? It's Juliette.

And that lover is your father.

We checked the time of the crime.

When your fiancee was jogging, you had 45 minutes

to leave your house and go to your mother-in-law's.

And there you killed her.

- When Juliette was jogging,

I was on Cloud 9.

We're going to get married,

I was so happy.

And then... Cathy called, and...

she asked me to come see her.

And I said to myself, I don't know...

Did she want to bury the hatchet?

Did she want to give me a family ring for Juliette?

What is it?

I got to her house.

She showed me an old photo of her with my dad.

She told me, just like that, that I couldn't marry Juliette

because she's actually my sister.

That our relationship was over,

I had to leave her.

I told her that I couldn't,

'Ju- Juliette is...

Juliette's my life, I love her,

we're going to get married, everything.'

Then she began to repeat it, on a loop: 'You can't - you can't - you can't'!

'Do you realize you can't? She's your sister,

you can't, you can't marry her she's your sister, she's your sister.'

I pushed her, to make her stop talking.
