He's been missing three days. We don't have a single lead.

The girl you can't find.

Some others have been receiving death threats. I would like you to investigate

them. He's a vile human being. He gets away with blackmail.

What do you want me to do?

Stop him.

He spent himself for death threats.

I'm withdrawing my team from your case.

Boss, the police report has been out of house an hour ago.

He's been shot.

Who called it in?

Victor Rico.

I'm sorry, boss.

Can you hear it, Victor?

When did you find him?

I got up at 4 .30, like I usually do to take a missed coffee.

But his bed wasn't slept in, so I checked the office.

Was the safe closed?

Yes.

When did you last see him alive?

About 11 o 'clock last night, when I let Roger Guyadine in.

Guy didn't came here.

Turned up.

Demanded a meeting.

Did you show him out afterwards?

No.

Mr. Fillmore said I could go to bed.

So I did.

Is Madam Fumala awake?

No.

She always takes the pure.

At least three gunshots and none of you heard anything.

Get the team here.

Call the pathologist. Check CCTV.

Get Murg to open the safe.

They had to stay in their rooms until they'd been searched and statements

An officer outside each room.

Take their phones.

Tell Terence to find out where Guy Dean is. And call me.

Where are you going?

I've got a doctor's appointment.

Sweetheart. I'm sorry you had to get here on your own.

Not an invalid.

Everything all right?

Everything's fine.

Morning, morning.

Are we ready?

We're ready.

Now, this might be a bit chilly.

Let's see how baby's doing.

Do you want one?

Oh, I'll show you this.

We will try again.

Of course.

No.

It's too much.

The injections, the hormone changes everything.

We're fine as we are.

More than fine.

I know.

But we will try again.

Not Kumar.

Yeah, I know that.

Killed last night.

Go.

I'll be fine.

Go, love.

Do what you do.

Rescue the colonel.

You

said

Fomal was only in danger in his imagination.

Did he imagine this?

No.

I trusted you.

You came highly recommended.

No, I'm not responsible for other people's recommendations.

So you're not responsible for Fumal's death?

For that, I am responsible.

I withdrew my team. He's dead.

Any idea who did it?

No.

Roger Guydown was the last person to see Fumal last night. He would kill Fumal

just because he was trying to take over his business? This was on Fumal's desk.

Reporting to an accident on the Cote d 'Azur 30 years ago, a boy in a motorbike

was killed.

Guy then driving the car that killed him.

He was hushed up.

30 years ago?

And Fomal found this out?

Like I said, he collects secrets.

Now, Guy didn't go home last night, and his wife says his handgun is missing.

Now, my detectives are already at his office, so if you'll excuse me.

I'll be serious no longer, thank you. You have to go, right?

He's in his office, boss.

Door's locked and he's not answering his phone. And he's got a gun on his deck.

Come this way, you can see him.

Boss?

Guidance secretary said he had a call with his board last night.

This had for more than been threatening to release information that would

destroy Gaidane and wreck the company's share price.

They told him if he didn't resign, they'd remove him.

Boss?

Right. I'll speak to Gaidane to distract him. If nothing else, Torrance, call a

negotiator. Janvier, come with me.

Wait. Nothing to say in their offices. The door's closed.

Okay, I need you to...

What's your guy, though?

It's Megre.

Will you let me come in?

Please, go away.

Well, I can't go away.

But if you won't let me in, will you at least talk to me?

I know what Tramiel had on you.

The accident.

The boy on the bike.

How your family covered it up.

I hear Fumar is dead.

Yes.

He's dead.

And what happened will come out.

But people will understand.

The parents of the boy I killed understand.

And they learn how a rich family just covered up a murder.

My job is to understand, not judge.

I went there to kill him.

And he flaunted my part in my faith.

He gloated.

I felt the gun in my pocket. I felt the handle and the trigger.

And I wasn't brave.

Just like 30 years ago.

When I hid from blame.

At least,

I didn't have to hide from the guilt.

Do you think that will count in my favor?

Gaia Dan, please keep talking to me.

I am talking to you. I finally decided to be brave.

Don't! Gaia Dan!

Detective Jonvier. Need an ambulance at Guydon & Co.

So he's not a suspect.

Or he went to Femal's house with a gun.

He said he didn't use it, and I believe him.

Ballistics would prove me right or wrong, so far I've just been wrong.

When I spoke to Madame Femal, there were two glasses on her breakfast tray. Half

of the cigarettes in her ashtray had lipstick on them, half didn't.

Fumal later told me she had a gentleman friend I didn't follow up. Torrance

follow up.

You mean... I mean, find him.

Fumal, he had a mistress.

He wouldn't tell me who she was.

I didn't follow up. No, you asked me to.

Her name is Martine Jaloux, and she's willing to talk to us.

Celine, Felix, they're lovers.

Fumal said they've been stealing from him for years.

Carver, speak to them both separately. Look for inconsistencies. Yeah.

Light.

House is full of lies.

Victor, the bodyguard, what's his lie?

Boss, development in the Leila case.

Police in Orne du Bois say there's a mob outside Marcus Desailly's parents'

house, accusing them of hiding him.

Marcus, as in Leila and Marcus, both been missing for four days. Yeah, Jean

-Bernard Le Point, get out there.

I need you to take the lead on this. Interview Marcus's parents.

Actually, maybe I should go with LePron. Jean -Pierre can handle these two.

What?

We're the ones who ID'd Marcus. We should interview his parents.

You need a certain level of experience. What are you talking about, level of

experience? Well, self -evident, what I'm talking about. Enough.

Interview Celine and Felix, then interview Victor.

Jean -Pierre and LePron, interview Marcus's parents.

We will interview Martine Geloux.

Martin Deleu.

I'm Sergeant Lucas. This is Chief Inspector May Gray. Police Chief is

Hello.

You wanted to talk about Ferdinand Simard.

I hear he's dead.

Killed last night.

Where were you?

I was at home in my apartment.

There's CCTV on the front and back entrances, so you can see I didn't go

When did you meet Simard?

About six months ago.

I'm an escort. He hired me for the night.

Did you sleep with him?

It was included in the price, but no.

And he was embarrassed about his body.

He said he was laughed at as a kid.

Nickname.

Fatty female.

Oink. Oink.

Eventually we did have sex, and it was fine.

But he was happier talking.

Did he talk about anyone who may want to harm him? He said everyone either hates

him or look down their noses at him.

What about his wife?

Definitely hates him.

He said he would have liked children, but she found Sarah positive that he

up trying.

Did you ever go to Rue de Corcel?

No.

He said it was like living in a glass house.

Everyone always watching.

He talked about escaping to the country.

Buying the place he grew up in.

found something, but I don't think he could ever have escaped.

And he didn't.

You liked him?

I was a transaction.

He didn't make silly promises.

Come to the country, live in my big house, be my wife.

He was honest.

But he could be generous and kind, so, yeah.

I did like him.

I'm sad he's dead.

And I'm sorry his last few months were full of fear.

I'm even more sorry that when he asked for help, help didn't come.

Thank you for talking to us. We may need to talk to you again.

You said he couldn't have escaped.

Why?

Why did he need to keep going?

Because, Joel McRae, he needed to show the people who despised him they were

wrong.

And he was better than them.

Who's that?

What?

Terence has got something on Madame Fumal.

So, stairs lead up to the back garden. There's a low wall behind the pool house

and easy access onto the street.

Plus, this door doesn't have a camera on it.

We could clear the lock.

Keeps in Madame Flamel's underwear drawer, which is also her drinks

OK, so she comes down, lets whoever it is in. How do they get back to her room

without being seen?

This way leads through the boiler room to the service lift.

And the service lift leads to...

Madame Flamel's dressing room.

So this person can get into and out of the house without ever being seen?

Could Madame Flamel tell you who it is?

Madame Flamel can't even tell what day it is.

Who is he?

Who is who?

The man who shares your food, your drink, your cigarettes.

Shares your room.

Sit down, Chief Inspector.

Have a drink. You like a drink.

Give me his name.

You're boring.

Go away.

A man has been murdered.

I will arrest you. I will tear this house apart.

Tell me who shares your room.

Emil.

My brother.

He, uh, left his job when that bastard bought her phone.

I support him.

Sometimes he crashes here.

That's it.

Did he crash here last night?

No. I gave him 100 euros. He'd have been busy drinking it.

What's his address?

56D Avenue, Ramel.

Don't you judge me.

I don't.

I'm trying to understand.

What is there to understand?

I have been living in hell.

I spoke to your husband's mistress.

She said he wanted children, but that you found him repulsive.

Did you ask her how much you paid her not to find him repulsive?

You forget what I told you.

I was in love with him.

I didn't care what he looked like.

But, um... Try making love to a man who has broken your father's heart.

Ruined him.

Put him in hospital.

Why don't you ask his mistress what she charged for that?

Nice place.

Pity you couldn't keep the owner alive.

Got your ballistics?

Guy Arden's gun was a 9mm.

Fumal was killed by a .45.

Which you still haven't found.

A .45?

A .45 would be loud.

It would.

Have you opened the safe?

Not yet.

Then you have the combination.

Dumas' combination no longer works.

Either he changed it or someone else did.

Maybe the same someone who wiped the keypad clean.

I'm getting the lock drilled this afternoon.

Why would they change the combination?

To hide what's in it?

Or not in it?

Call me when you have the safe open.

Yes, Jean -B. Hi, boss. We interviewed Marcus's parents.

Marcus? Yes.

Layla stalker and or kidnapper? Just tell me.

Two Layla groupies were sitting in a car outside Marcus's parents' house.

Two o 'clock last night, they saw lights come on, people moving around, and then

someone slipping out the back.

They posted it on the Layla Facebook page. By morning, there were 40 people

outside banging on the door.

Local police have now moved everyone on.

We interviewed the parents. They said they hadn't seen Marcus and no one had

come to the house.

But I got a look at his old room and his old computer. It was used at 2 .15 this

morning to search the website of the Directorate for Competition, Consumer

Affairs and Fraud.

He visited his parents' house at 2 o 'clock in the morning to do an internet

search. His cell phone switched off.

His apartment's being watched.

His face is all over Paris.

Their house is one place he thought he'd be safe.

What did you search for on the website?

The regulations about how influencers like Leila can make money.

Marcus is investigating Leila.

Leila doesn't run her business. Her parents do.

Then he's going after the parents.

Or they are.

Marcus and Leila.

You think Marcus and Leila are together?

Working together?

We do.

Well, keep digging.

Well done.

No.

No, you don't want to.

Mila.

Don't worry about me, McGree.

I'll get back in the swing.

I just need to mourn for a little bit.

She helps.

It was only posted this morning.

So? So her parents are still making money off her.

Using film they shot when she was, what, eight, nine?

You're upset?

Yes.

It's a baby, of course.

Then Layla... Fumar, Guyadam.

Everywhere, failure.

You're doing everything you can.

I could have done more for Fumar.

But I didn't.

He was loathsome and I loathed him and I did a bad job.

I remember how we used to laugh at him when he was a boy.

Did we turn him into the man he was?

You were children.

Hardly responsible.

Children know when they're being cruel.

I was wondering why he asked for me.

Was it to see if I'd changed?

If I could see who he was underneath?

I agree he asked for you because he wanted to show you what a big shot he

Maybe.

I met someone who knew another female.

Said he was scared and looking for help, and I didn't help.

I let him be killed.

Do you have any idea who did it?

Someone in the house.

What is it?

I just saw someone who wasn't in the house.

You're leaving?

Yes.

Back to St. Fjord?

What do you want?

Yesterday, I asked for your help and you wouldn't give it. But now, now fate has

intervened, I don't need your help anymore.

I don't want to thank the murderer, but nonetheless...

I'm grateful to him.

Well, her.

Where were you last night?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Where were you?

Where were you?

When I heard about the death of Sumal, for a moment I thought that rather than

lamely saying he couldn't help... Jules May Gray actually defended a woman in

distress, but... I was wrong, wasn't I?

Yes.

So where were you last night?

Janosch?

Can you come here, please?

This is Janosch Varga.

Janosch?

Where was I last night after I met the chief inspector?

You were here.

Where exactly?

In bed.

May Gray?

Sorry, but you deserve that.

Was that your father's?

Do you ever smoke it?

It's generally frowned upon.

Can I ask, do you remember Fiumao as a boy in San Fiac?

Not really.

I remember his father.

You dealt with him?

My husband did.

When the refugees came.

The Bosnian children.

Winter of... 94, 95.

We put up about a dozen.

You know my husband.

Always keen to lend a hand even when his own home was falling about his ears.

So he made a deal with Fumar's father to feed them.

Fumar's dad took the money and gave them scraps.

Horse meat.

Like father, like son.

What happened to the children?

I think...

Most of them went home after the war.

Some got jobs in Paris or Lyon.

There wasn't much going on in San Fiac.

You're going back.

Femal woke me up to that, at least.

Woke me up to what's important.

And I'm going to fight for San Fiac.

I think it's worth fighting for.

Don't you?

Yes.

Bye, Jules.

I'm sorry.

Are you?

Boss, we tracked down Madame Fumar's brother and we got his statement he did

kill Fumar. He was in a police cell all last night, drunk and disorderly. Fine.

Knock him off the lift.

What are you looking for?

Search inventories for Fumar's house.

Who did Victor Riku's run?

I did. Hardly anything in it.

What's this?

Postcard?

So you're looking at Victor now?

Mostar y most.

Mostar.

Victor Hicou, born in Paris.

Didn't strike you as odd that a man born in Paris has only one thing in his

room, a picture of a Bosnian village?

Sorry, boss. I'll look into it now.

Inspector Carver tells me...

That Femal's staff are being held in their rooms and not allowed access to

lawyers. They're not under arrest.

Then why are you holding them? Because I'm hoping Femal's safe, which no one

open, will tell us something once it is open.

I also want to know if someone in that house really is who he says he is.

Well, OK.

Then hold them.

Now, Leila, it's been four days.

Are we at your worst -case scenario?

Jan -Biela Pond, you got anything?

Leila's parents have been investigated for breaking a new law about how

influencers can make money.

Article 2023 -451 says that influencers have to declare if they're being paid to

promote goods or services.

Like anything from Bitcoin to Botox, lots of ladies' videos break the rules.

What are the penalties?

They're serious.

Fines up to 300 ,000 or two years in jail. Is that why she ran?

Well, we picked she ran to try to stop her parents doing what they're doing.

You said her disappearance made her more popular, so how do you know she isn't

in on it?

We just don't think she is. You just don't think she is?

I'm sorry, we're ignoring the obvious here, that she's been kidnapped, and

just going with the wildly speculative that her parents are the bad guys. This

is stupid. I've met her parents. You haven't. So what's your theory?

She's with him. I'm working with him.

Do you agree?

Marcus went to his parents' house at 2 a .m. just to read up on Article 451.

Why would he do that if Leila hadn't told him about it?

So how do we use it?

Put out a press release from the police judiciary.

Say we're no longer concerned for Layla's safety and we're closing the

investigation. That's just the response. If she wishes to contact me directly,

she should call... 20 -23 -45

-14 -51.

OK.

I'll talk to the press office.

Jean -Pierre Lapointe, come with me.

OK.

Good. Run our way. We'll have three miles safe open in ten minutes.

Wait, wait, wait.

I just called that number. It's not a real number.

It's real to Layla.

The number is the number of the new law.

2023 -451.

Right.

Get Goldman. I think she'd know what was in the thing.

Lucas, you were first here this morning with the blinds open.

Yeah.

Is that it?

Is that all that was in the safe last night?

No.

There were five million euros.

What for?

Payoffs. To Guyadin's board.

So they dumped Guyadin.

Lucas, get Victor.

Bring him to Celine's room.

Oh, come in.

You can see his office.

And the safe.

And his bedroom. Lucky me.

One of your goons searched it already.

You're looking for something.

You were always one step ahead, weren't you?

Did you see who shot him?

Remember, you blush when you lie.

Why don't you tell me who shot him?

You're the detective.

Okay.

Not Madame Fumal or Naomi.

Perhaps Felix, angry at how Fumal humiliates you.

Or Goldman.

Worried his insider trading would be found out.

Or you.

No.

You're like a jackal.

Let others do the killing and wait for the scraps.

Who have I left out?

Victor Riku.

The bodyguard who didn't guard the body.

Yes, Charles.

Right. Thank you.

Victor's gone.

He went out the window over the roof, don't know how long ago.

I do.

He went as soon as they started to drill the safe.

You tipped him off.

Where's he gone?

I've no idea.

And even if I did know, I'd never tell you.

And I hope you never catch him.

So this is still in Victor's room?

Toron's called.

He found out that till eight years ago, Victor Riku was called Victor Bajic.

He's Bosnian.

That's where he'll go. He won't risk a plane, he'll train or bus to Sarajevo.

the left.

Yes. Get his picture out, get everyone there. Jean -Pierre Lapointe, everyone.

We've got officers going through station CCTV.

Victor bought a ticket for the 1848 to Strasbourg. The train hasn't got in yet,

so he should still be here waiting.

Keep the CCTVs, let's go.

You think he'll still have the gun? Yes, he'll have all night to hide the money

and the gun.

A raid team has come up from the air. It'll be 30 minutes.

It's too long.

So what do you want us to do?

Where's the point?

Credible told him to stay at the office because of the Leila press release.

What do you want us to do?

What? This is a security announcement.

Due to a suspicious package, passengers are required to evacuate the station as

quickly and calmly as possible.

Hey, apparently that's an old waiting room he's going into.

There.

No, boss, he's armed.

No. Raid will be here by now.

I'll tend to make sure he doesn't shoot me.

This is Lucas, come in. See you, mate. Target is in the old waiting room east

the sign on your station on platform 14.

One of our team is going in. We cover.

You haven't been on a sleeper train before?

No.

But I'd like to.

Where would we go?

Anywhere.

I'd say come and help yourself, but you've got your hands full.

Sorry I didn't recognize you sooner.

Could have saved everyone a lot of grief.

Victor.

Victor Bagic.

A skinny kid from Bosnia.

The only one who looked out for 33 miles.

And 30 hated you for it.

Hated you and was scared to be without you. That's why he kept you with him.

Did he make you change your name?

He said it was a big deal now.

But if I wanted to stay as his bodyguard, I had better become a real

You knew who I was from the start. Why didn't you say anything?

I learned early.

Better not at all.

I'm sorry.

You didn't do anything.

I mean back in San Fiacre.

I wasn't kind.

When you're young, it's easier to run with the pack.

You think you can talk me down by pretending you're sorry?

That stuff happened 30 years ago.

I'm not trying to talk you down.

I'm just saying I'm sorry.

I'm going to finish my drink and leave the rest to you.

There are armed police out there, snipers.

If you want to go down in a blaze of glory, then have at it.

I hope you don't.

He treated you like a dog for 30 years.

That's a defense.

Why?

I mean, why last night?

After Gayadin left, I went in to see if Monsieur Fomal needed anything.

The safe was open.

I could see all the money in it.

He said, sneaking up on me again.

Come to rob me, have you?

Ah,

he's just a little sneak.

You don't have the guts. You never did.

So I showed him.

I did.

It's better to talk.

Where did you pay to him?

The point, boss.

I've got a call.

She says she'll only talk to you.

I think it's her.

Put her on.

Hello?

It's Maygray.

I got your message.

I am safe. You don't need to worry about me.

I'm glad.

I still need to see you face to face.

Just you and me.

I hear you salvaged your reputation.

Just about.

Did you find his will?

Only one page.

Altered a month ago.

Wait, um, what am I to do with this?

What is it?

Humel's dirty dossier.

Everyone's on it, including Minister Moreau.

Hey, that's... destroying evidence.

Thank you, Max.

Well done.

Not really.

Well, you worked it out in the end.

For Marl's abuse of Victor will be taken into account at sentencing.

I'll make sure of it.

Thank you.

Is this for Marl's will?

He left everything he owned to Martine Gillou, his mistress.

Everything? Everything except a monthly allowance for his wife and money for her

to take care of her father and brother.

You know who else got a monthly allowance?

The man who killed him.

Victor. So I didn't work out for him, Al.

Not really.

And Leila?

She called me.

I'm going to see her.

Good.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Louise.

This is May Gray.

Please.

Mark's with making tea.

Take your coat off, May Gray.

That what you call him?

What else?

You've caused us a lot of trouble.

I know.

Sorry.

So, I need to know you're okay.

Really okay.

So I can close the case.

You usually bring your wife with you when you close a case.

I work a lot with divided families.

Troubled teenagers, young adults.

So you're here to assess me.

If you were my daughter, I would want to know that the decisions you've made

were made freely with knowledge of the consequences.

I hope no one takes milk, because we don't have any.

I decided to do this.

Mark has supported me.

We're happy together.

Will we be together in five years?

Who knows?

And will we be living in this camper van in winter?

No.

We'll go back to real life.

But in our own time.

In our own way.

Do you have a message for your parents?

They use me.

But even when I begged them to stop, even when I disappeared, they went on

me.

So right now I don't want to talk to them.

I don't want them to worry.

So if you talk to them, tell them that I love them,

and I'm happy.

But also tell them that I have the right to be forgotten.

And I'm exercising it.

Is that enough?

And if you were my daughter, I would be so proud of you.

Do you have any children?

Not yet.

But we're going to.

Tea's okay, but do you have anything stronger?

I can't think.

Why?

Drink it, it's lovely.

That kid wouldn't be listening to us, would you? The gang killed Bertie

they saw him listening to their conversation, but left the recorder

their voices on it. Are you insane?

I know your mother. That does not give you license to go poking your nose into

my family's affairs.
