Original subtitles

RAPH: I remember everything.

I, I see myself talking to you.

NICO: Wait, everything you told us, happened,

except you were in a coma.

We debriefed around your bed, but you didn't take part.

ASTRID: I even arranged the elements from the Stéphane Roy case file

on the glass panels of your room, Raphaëlle.

Only, you were unconscious.

And as for when we on video with you from the crime scene-

- Lt Mansour found a way to answer your phone remotely.

NICO: And it was Astrid who insisted on debriefs at the hospital.

- I just followed your doctor's recommendation to stimulate you, Raphaélle.

- No, Astrid. ASTRID: Yes.

- You probably saved my life. - ((Ah-ah-ah-ah...))

- So,

did all this really happen, did it really exist?

- Mmm. - But I perceived it

through my coma. - Yes everything, it seems,

except the exchanges you told us about with the patient named Hubert.

NICO: So I asked around,

there's no Hubert in the hospital at the moment.

This Hubert is maybe your unconscious,

confabulated by your brain.

Your discussions with him were a reflection of you.

- On the other hand,

there's something I didn't dream.

These are my legs.

No matter what I do, I can't move them.

Raphaëlle cries quietly

- Wait, Raph. You were in a coma,

It's normal, it takes time. Okay?

A doctor's coming to see you about it in a little while.

- Funny, I didn't dream of this place like this.

This is where I came to talk with Hubert. - Hubert?

- (I'll explain.) - He was completely obsessed

by little Jacques Slimani.

- New elements of the Léo Dumas investigation indicate

that we should be interested in the deceased child of Mr & Ms Slimani.

On the one hand, Lt Mansour found

the encrypted Overlook folder on Léo Dumas's computer.

- Overlook is the boarding school Jacques Slimani attended.

Look. One of the last photos of Jacques.

- The logo of this establishment

was engraved on bent spoons found

at the scene of Léo Dumas's homicide.

- Bent spoons. I remember you talking about it, Astrid.

- Yes. I said, 'bent spoons.'

- Obviously Léo was investigating Overlook when he was murdered

The weird thing is, Stella and Gus didn't know about it.

- He was investigating alone.

- When Léo Dumas called Stella Samsoni the day before his death,

he probably wanted to talk about this case

and not his ODIN investigation,

NORAH: In fact he didn't mention ODIN at all, he just

told her he had found something huge.

- Capt Perran, could you enlarge this photo please?

Mm-mmm, not his face, on his hand, there.

His nails have ridges called Mees lines.

I have already seen Mees lines

in Criminal Documentation files, I know the files.

Mees lines are a sign of long term poisoning.

Jacques Slimani did not die of meningitis.

Jacques Slimani was murdered.

♪

MAX: I'm happy for you,

it's good news your aunt died- WILLIAM: Oh oh oh,

let me stop you right there, Max.

Why is it good news that Camille's aunt is dead?

- Well- - No, it's fine, I told him

I didn't like her very much,

because she wasn't always very nice to me.

- Oh, yes. No no no, oh my!

Who can help Camille and Max? Yes, Clément.

- Even if her aunt wasn't nice, it's still sad that she died,

because neurotypicals are hypocrites

Boarding School

and don't speak ill of the dying, even if they really think so.

- Yes... - Nooo,

because we have the right to be sad when someone dies,

even if we had disagreements with him.

WILLIAM: Well, we'll take a short break and pick it up again later;

let's eat.

Chatting

- So?

How are you feeling?

- I feel... A persistent discomfort.

And I don't understand why, which is even more uncomfortable.

- Astrid, you've just experienced a series of disturbing events:

your wedding was canceled- - Mm-mmm!

My marriage wasn't canceled. It was interrupted,

it was postponed to a later date.

As for Raphaëlle, she almost died, but she didn't die,

and she came out of the coma.

I thought my discomfort

would disappear when she came out of the coma.

- But unfortunately this discomfort is still there.

- It is.

You should think about having the heating repaired.

He chuckles

- I have a problem with the electricity bill.

DR: That's not bad at all, hmm?

Your recovery capacity is impressive, Ms Coste.

- And my legs? When will they work?

- You've been exposed to an extremely powerful nerve agent.

You're lucky to be alive.

- Doctor, I don't understand, every time I ask this question you deflect.

It's not complicated.

- It'll take time.

The dysfunction you're experiencing is neurological,

you'll have to fight, and accept that you're in recovery.

You're coming out of a two week coma, you have to take care of yourself.

I'm putting you on ITT,* * Temporary Disability

you have to respect it, okay? * Temporary Disability

Get away from it all for a few weeks, start rehabilitation.

Use the opportunity to take a break, okay?

Come on, I'm counting on you. - Yes, Doctor.

- Good day. - Mmm.

- I don't know that one.

What does this one do?

- It's a "horseshoe" mechanical puzzle.

It is preoccupying.

The goal is to get this ring out

from between these two similar shapes.

- You never solved it?

- I solved it when I was 9, Capt Perran.

They laugh quietly To solve it, you have to

combine the two like shapes and not uncouple them.

Mobile rings - Yeah, it's Raph. Yeah?

Screen bleeps - Yeah, it's Raph. Yeah?

- Nico, how are you doing? Progress?

- Yes, progress. A team is verifying ODIN's testimony,

it seems solid.

Norah's struggling with decrypting the "Overlook" file-

- No no, not at all! No, it's a matter of time.

It's asymmetric encryption, but I'll get there as usual.

- She's struggling. And Astrid and I are

looking into Overlook College. - Yeah?

- An educational

establishment, particularly high-end,

mainly welcoming children from privileged social classes.

- No one answers when I tried to contact them,

I think they're routinely screening.

I'm planning to go there with Astrid. - I'm coming.

- No, Raph, seriously, no-

- Yes, yes! Like, the doctor says I need to get some fresh air.

I'll feel better, hmm? - Listen, sorry, but

you're convalescing now.

Come on, Nico! - Listen,

Raph, not this time, all right? I'm doing it for your own good.

Goodbye. Beep

- Goodbye.

You've already hung up.

- (Well... Yes.)

Doors slam

- This place is crazy. Raph would find it creepy, huh?

VIELLET: Hello, welcome. - Hello.

- Pleased to meet you. Corinne Viellet, director of the establishment.

- Capt Perran, Lt Nielsen.

- I'll show you around, follow me.

- Hello.

VIELLET: I created Overlook College to offer quality programs,

and as individualized as possible.

NICO: All your students are boarders, is that right?`

VIELLET: Of course.

Our teachers are hand-picked.

Mr Bernard, our math professor,

was awarded the Fields Medal.

Our literature professor was nominated for the Goncourt Prize.

As for Brigitte Vorilier our chemistry professor, she was nominated for the Nobel.

VIELLET: I don't really understand what I can do for the criminal police.

NICO: We have some questions about one of your students,

Jacques Slimani. - Poor Jacques.

He died of meningitis, what does that have to do with the criminal police?

- Did you notice any strange behavior in little Jacques before his death?

- None. But you didn't answer my question:

why is the criminal police interested in a case of meningitis?

You don't think his death is suspicious. - We have good reasons to think so.

- You're therefore acting under a warrant?

- Absolutely not. NICO: Not yet.

This is a preliminary investigation.

- As part of this investigation we need to consult your student files.

- Listen, our establishment is appreciated for its discretion.

For any other questions, please contact Mr Torrance,

the establishment's lawyer.

I apologize, my obligations

prevent me from seeing you out.

- Astrid?

Thank you.

- Goodbye.

- She wouldn't have greeted us like that if we had a warrant.

- There is not enough evidence in the file to obtain a warrant.

The poisoning of Jacques Slimani remains a hypothesis.

- And Ms Director knows it too.

Raph? What're you doing here, you should be in the hospital!

- Your presence here contravenes your convalescence protocol.

- It's all right, you killjoys. The doctor let me go.

Yeah, he wants me to get some fresh air.

Mobile vibrates

- Your phone, it's ringing.

Hospital . . .

- It's nothing! It's "spam." NORAH: Come see,

I managed to open the encryted file on the victim's computer.

- Ah!

Clicks

NORAH: It's children's drawings. RAPH: That's the guy's mega-secret file?

- There are dozens of them, all signed 'Jacques.'

And I also found this: It's a table with

dates and measurements, but I don't know what it is.

- It's a dosimetry report. - It's a measurement of radioactivity

carried out with a geiger counter.

ASTRID: I was wrong, I must not be wrong.

- Wrong about what?

- The Mees lines are not due to chemical poisoning,

there is another possible diagnosis.

- Which one? - Radiation.

Jacques Slimani's death is linked to prolonged exposure to a radioactive source.

- If I may summarize: the symptoms fit but it's not certain?

And if the symptoms are the same as those of meningitis—

—stop me if I say something stupid—

it could just as easily be meningitis.

- Yes, but we have the dosimetry report.

- And Astrid identified the Mees lines on the child's nails.

- And Hubert.

- 'Hubert'?

- 'Hubert' is Raphaëlle's new name for her intuition.

- 'Hubert? Okay, all right...

Anyway, Hubert isn't calling the prosecutor to request a warrant.

- But- - No, I'd be surprised if he gave it to me.

Mobile vibrates Hospital Okay, until further notice,

we're investigating the death of Léo Dumas, not Jacques Slimani.

So, we start with the elements and find serious leads, okay?

- But... - 'But', Coste? No 'buts,' Coste.

What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hospital.

- Oh, no- hey!

The doctor texted me:

'I've never seen anyone recover so quickly,

you can work again, no problem.'

- I know the doctors, Coste, and, above all, I know you.

So we follow procedure, and Capt Perran keeps me informed.

Okay?

I'm delighted to meet you.

STELLA: Us too. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for

everything you're doing for Léo.

You're sure this place is linked to his death?

- 100%, yes.

Jacques Slimani's file will help us understand what Léo discovered.

- Well, here we go.

- Here we go!

- Oh, don't tell me... - That they're preparing to

search the Overlook tonight? Yes.

RAPH: What is that thing? - It's a code, a marking system

- So you still maintain that this place has nothing to do with our victim?

GUS: (Stella!)

ASTRID: A two-tone gray and orange object

is present in each drawing. There.

And there. There. And there.

And there. And there. And there.

And there, there, there, there, there, and there.

There were fifty-six drawings, I only took eight.

- Thank you, Astrid.

And do you have any idea what it is?

- These children's drawings are characterized by a particularly approximate style.

- I picked up the kids. - Oh well done, it was great, I loved it!

So, what was in the cabinet? What did you see?

We've done better. When we were caught Gus grabbed the thing.

- No! I put it in a trash can,

we picked it up this morning. I don't know what it is,

but if it's a Geiger counter your peanuts are super-radioactive!

- Whoa! - All right.

- It's the color gray and the color orange, it is the object common to

all of Jacques Slimani's drawings found on Léo Dumas's computer.

There, there. It's very dangerous.

CARL: So if I summarize the situation,

this object was stolen in a completely illicit manner

from a private establishment

during a completely illegal police operation.

- Absolutely, Commissioner. - All right. You realize

whatever the significance of this piece of evidence,

it's procedurally excluded.

- I kept telling them.

STELLA: Not at all, Commissioner.

Gus and I took this object

during an investigation launched at our own initiative.

We were then arrested by officers

who handed this piece of evidence to the criminal police.

CARL: Uh...

do you realize that the way you present things

can cause you very, very big trouble?

- Completely.

- Okay. What exactly is this thing?

- It's not a thing, it's a gammagraph.

A gammagraph is an industrial tool that uses ionizing rays

to perform radiographic research on metal structures.

- This one has obviously been tinkered with and modified.

- Do you know for what purpose?

- No. We only know where it came from.

- The blue logo is that of the Institute for Paranormal Studies.

- 'Institute for Paranormal Studies.' All right, who are they?

- People who study the paranormal disciplines as objectively as possible

and from a scientific perspective;

not in a belief mode, but to understand.

- It was

created by my father,

who led it until his death last year.

But I didn't know at all that they were using this kind of stuff.

- Okay. Coste, Perran, try to find out more.

NICO: Mm, yeah.

Softly - Hey! Thanks for saving our skin

with the Commissioner, eh?

- I did it for Léo.

- We'll do everything to find the culprit.

- Thank you, Raphaëlle. See you later.

Sighs

- Astrid? You coming with us to the Institute for Paranormal Studies?

- Absolutely not, I am returning to Criminal Documentation

to research the Institute of Paranormal Studies.

- Oh. But maybe you can do that later, huh?

I need you right now.

- Why do you need me to be with you?

- Because I'm struggling with this thing, because I'm exhausted, because...

when I open my mouth I feel like I'm gonna

say or do 20,000 stupid things per second, because

Tearfully because when you're with me you reassure me.

- Raphaélle, your exhaustion is a sign that

you do not respect your convalescence protocol.

You don't need to accompany me to the Institute for Paranormal Studies,

you need to go back to the hospital.

- No. ASTRID: Yes.

- Astrid, I need to work on this case.

- Mm-mmm.

Emotionally - Yes!

I know that if I force it, I could suffer.

But if I don't work on this case it's gonna drive me crazy—

—and I would still suffer.

- If I want to sew, I have to use a needle,

and I risk getting hurt.

So I can choose not to sew,

or I can choose to accept getting hurt.

- Or we can use a thimble.

- Raphaëlle,

Do you think that, in this configuration,

I am your thimble?

- Astrid,

do you want to be my thimble?

- (Ah ah ah ah...) - Until I'm better?

- All right.

Temporarily.

- Thank you.

- The exceptional nature of the situation justifies exceptional measures.

So I will accompany you to the Institute for Paranormal Studies,

but I maintain that your place is in the hospital

under medical supervision.

- I promise to go back right after.

- Promise?

- Promise.

- Little one, I'm so glad to see you!

- Thanks for welcoming us, Claudine, this is Cmdr Coste,

Capt Perran and Lt Nielsen.

- Nice to meet you! - We need you.

- Ms Lefaure, could you explain

the research areas of the Institute for Paranormal Studies?

- Of course. We study phenomena that seem out of the normal.

Students in our research fields are mainly focused on telepathy—

—that is, the transmission of thought—

—and precognition, meaning the act of anticipating an event.

Tinnitis

- Who is he?

LEFAURE: It's Hubert.

RAPH: 'Hubert'? ASTRID: Like your unconscious! Hm-hmm.

- Hubert Sampsoni, my father.

And founder of this institute.

LEFAURE: A wonderful man;

he died last year after a long period of hospitalization.

It was... heart failure.

STELLA: His latest research was on telekinesis.

Telekinesis is the ability of the human mind to influence matter.

- Telekinesis?

The kind that could move a 250 kilo piano?

LEFAURE: Yes. But we observe much more subtle phenomena,

like, for example, blowing out a candle from a distance, or bending spoons.

- Astrid? - Yes?

- Can you show your spoons? - They are not my spoons.

- These spoons were photographed by Forensics at the crime scene.

- Uh... yes, it could totally be that kind.

- And, uh, have you ever seen this object?

- Mmm... never. But it's weird, it has our logo on it.

- Who at the institute can tell us more?

Oh, your poor father could have, yes.

But otherwise, you may have to search our archives.

- Your archives? - Yes. But,

we might as well look for-

- A needle in a haystack! Hm-hmm! LEFAURE: Exactly!

- ((Ha ha ha ha.))

ASTRID: Cmdr Coste, it could be relevant to the case

if I stayed at the Institute for Paranormal Studies,

and you return to the hospital. - (Mm. Yes...)

- Now. - Yes. Uh, yes, don't worry.

- You promised. - Yes, yes.

- I'll take care of it.

ASTRID: Gently.

NICO: Goodbye. LEFAURE: Goodbye.

- I'm sorry about your father. - It's all right. We had become

distant when he died.

- And where did he die? - At the East Paris Hospital, why?

- No reason.

- Sorry, I have to go. - Yes, of course.

- See you soon. BOTH: Bye.

- I don't know why, this girl touches me.

- Honestly, Raph, do you believe it, this telekinesis and flying piano stuff?

You're freaking me out.

- I almost died, Nico.

And I don't know, but...

I've experienced things that mean that, today,

I believe new things-

- No! No! A cop has a good head on his shoulders.

- Oh my, you're annoying!

((Oh...)) - Raph!

Are you okay? - Uh, yes...

- You need to rest now!

- It's okay, don't scream. And I'm not made of sugar.

- Hello. Cmdr Coste, Crime Squad.

I have questions about a patient who was hospitalized here last year,

Mr Samsoni.

- Raphaëlle Coste. You're one of our patients,

you're Room 416!

Ma'am, you left without being discharged, the doctor is furious.

- There! Okay?

- There! Okay? . .

- There! Okay? What's written there? .

- 'Police.' - There! The room number, please?

- Room 217, ma'am! RAPH: (No!)

- I need to call the doctor! - Thank you! You're very kind, thanks!

- Ms Coste! - 'Commander'!

- You can't leave! - Cmdr Coste, Crime Squad!

VIELLET: Oh, excuse me. Yes?

- Would you have internet access?

- Of course. Here, it's this way.

- Could you go to the Overlook College website?

'O V E R, L O O K.'

VIELLET: (There.) ASTRID: Go to the Teachers page.

There, on the right.

Same as the torn photo in the library.

Do you know this woman? - Yes. Brigitte Vorilier

She's a researcher who worked at the Institute,

She was very creative about the protocols she put in place.

She wanted to explore the brain's untapped psychic capabilities.

She worked a lot on telekinetic powers,

she was convinced we could increase them.

- You use the past tense.

- Yes. She left everything behind overnight,

and Hubert, too. She was his companion.

And Stella's stepmother.

- Would you have a color copier? - Yes.

Laughing Come on.

Follow me.

- Thanks for coming, Stella. I have to tell you something.

But you're going to think I'm crazy.

I spent two weeks in a coma,

in the hospital where your father died. And...

When I woke up,

It's like I was awake...

Like I had been awake during that whole period.

And my colleagues told me,

that during my coma, they described to me what was happening.

But I was unconscious. - Okay. It's crazy.

- The craziest thing is that, in the evenings,

I would talk with a patient, and that patient-

- It was Dad.

That's why you reacted like that earlier?

- Or someone who wanted to look a lot like him anyway, yes.

And I've never heard his name anywhere, I'm sure of it.

And I've never seen him either, I don't know what he looked like,

except when I saw his picture earlier.

I recognized him.

- Maybe there's an explanation.

- Which one?

- Among those interested in psychic phenomena,

it's believed something special happens in near-death experiences

like you experienced. - Okay...

- At that moment the soul could detach itself from the body

and find itself between two worlds.

Sighs - Sorry, but it's too much for me.

No, no, there must be a more rational explanation.

- You've never seen him, yet you immediately

recognized him in the photo. RAPH: And I knew his room number.

(Oh! Shit shit shit shit...)

Yes, Astrid. Come here.

- Cmdr Coste,

I went to the hospital to see you, only you weren't there.

- Yes. Uh...

But, as soon as I'm done with Stella, I'm going back.

I promise.

- You already promised.

I tried to contact you several times by phone

and I got your voicemail every time.

- Yes, that's right, I... I turned it off.

Because I was being hassled by... "spam." Just so.

- All right.

Ms Samsoni, do you remember...

this woman?

STELLA: Of course. How could I forget?

She's the closest I've ever had to a mother:

Brigitte Vorilier.

- Absolutely, your father's ex-partner.

RAPH: Did you argue with him because of her?

- He told me that she had gone, abandoned us, and I discovered last year

when he died that it was he who threw her out.

Chased her away like an unsavory woman, he'd always told me the opposite.

- Have you seen her since? - Since dad died,

I've want to contact her again,

I haven't dared yet. - Actually, Brigitte Vorilier

is currently a teacher at Overlook. A physics-chemistry professor.

- It's right by Paris.

- A bundle of concordant indices seems to indicate

that she used the gammagraph for experimental purposes.

- It can't be. She irradiated little Jacques?

- It was her research while still working at the Institute for Paranormal Studies.

She seemed to think that it could increase an individual's telekinetic abilities.

In 2006, Ms Vorilier set up a protocol

with a first guinea pig. A child.

ASTRID: The streak of white hair, there.

ASTRID: Like on you. Mmm.

- I'm so sorry, Stella. - Raphaëlle?

- (Ah ah ah ah!)

ASTRID: Raphaëlle, you have a nosebleed.

Go back to the hospital.

We must return to the hospital.

- Mmm...

- How is she?

- She scared us, but... all right.

- Let's hope at least that it will teach her a lesson.

- Mmm.

If only, Commissioner.

- And... on the subject of Stella Samsoni?

- Everything seems to indicate Brigitte Vorilier conducted experiments on her.

When her father Hubert found out,

he did everything to keep her away from her.

- And you think she could have done the same thing with little Jacques a few years later?

- We have enough evidence

to request tests on little Jacques.

No need for exhumation.

- Oh? - His parents kept a lot of

objects belonging to him. CARL: All right.

- It's as if he's still there. It's disturbing.

- In any case, if Léo Dumas had discovered Brigitte Vorilier's actions,

that makes her the ideal culprit. - Mm-hmm.

- (Astrid...)

Groans slightly

- I'm not your thimble.

I'm not qualified. - Don't say that.

It's me, I did whatever I wanted.

Usually it always works, but this time... - I'm not capable,

I should have protected you, I didn't protect you.

I am not your thimble, I am not qualified

- You warned me many times, I didn't listen to you.

You can't protect people against their will.

- But you,

you protect me.

You are stronger than me, and because you were by my side,

I was able to handle unforeseen events that seemed insurmountable,

go to new places, go under security tape,

become a Judicial Police officer,

take certain initiatives, and even commit recklessness.

One day I even did my Monday morning shopping

on Tuesday morning, with you. Hmm.

- You don't need me.

I am like the feather of the flying elephant.

- The flying elephant...

Raphaëlle. Are you experiencing hallucinations

due to a confusional post-coma state?

- No. You don't know that children's story?

- Mm-mmm. - It's a cartoon.

It's the story of an elephant who wants to fly.

And he has a friend, a mouse, who gives him a magic feather,

to enable him to fly. And once he succeeds in flying,

his friend the mouse told him

that it's an ordinary feather.

- Raphaëlle, I don't understand what you're telling me.

- Astrid, all your victories,

you earned them by yourself.

I'm your friend right next door.

I was right next door.

You're stronger than me.

I just pretend to be strong, that's all.

Tearful And now I'm very scared.

- What are you afraid of?

- To not fly anymore.

- Ms Vorilier, have you ever seen these drawings?

- No.

They're children's drawings. - Yes indeed.

Could you describe them?

- Listen, you just have to ask the children who drew them.

- Unfortunately, this one is dead.

- I'm sorry.

- His name was Jacques Slimani.

How far are you able to go

to justify your lies, Ms Vorilier?

- They weren't lies.

Ionizing radiation such as alpha particles

have very real effects on biological matter.

They can cause genetic mutations and alter cell structures.

If properly targeted they can activate

areas of the brain with latent psychic capacity.

I don't expect you to understand.

- No, what I understand is that you used children as guinea pigs,

you bombarded them with ionizing radiation. - You can't prove it.

- We have samples of biological material from Jacques,

which will soon show that he was irradiated.

We have your fingerprints on the gammagraph

used for the irradiation.

And we have Stella's testimony.

She has long hidden her memories, but...

They're coming back. And they're overwhelming.

- I did all this with the greatest scientific rigor.

If the world of research had been more open, I could've

experimented under the best conditions.

- To kill other children? Like Jacques?

- He was very gifted.

Terribly gifted.

- And he died.

Paper rustles

Door closes

Vorilier couldn't have killed Léo.

- Are you sure?

- She may have had an accomplice, but her alibi's solid.

- I might have an idea.

Forensics identified the radioactive material that powered the gammagraph.

It could only have come from one place.

- Maryam isn't here, but I can call her.

- No Jean, it's you I came to see.

- Very well. I'm listening.

- I wonder, how did you react when Léo told you what he discovered?

- What are you talking about? - Léo Dumas.

Léo found out that your son didn't die of meningitis.

- But Jacques died of meningitis.

- Our investigation allowed us to confirm

that Jacques had died following an accumulation of radioactivity.

- I don't believe you.

Jacques died of meningitis!

NICO: No, that's what you want to believe.

Because it's much easier for you to deny your complicity in his death.

The plutonium 239 used

in the machine that irradiated your son

can only be found in a military setting.

The laboratory you work in, for example.

- ((No...))

- Jean, you delivered

your own son to Brigitte Vorilier so she could experiment

with his telekinetic abilities. - Brigitte saw that my son was exceptional!

she wanted to uncover his potential!

- Léo came to see you. Didn't he?

He too had discovered that your son didn't die of meningitis,

but didn't know you were complicit in the experiments.

So you killed him,

because you didn't accept that Jacques died because of you.

- Jacques died of meningitis.

Léo didn't understand anything.

He was talking nonsense!

Jacques. Died. Of meningitis.

JACQUES DIED OF MENINGITIS!

Jacques died of menin...

- Jean, that's enough.

The grip was so strong...

I don't even know if Jean Slimani

realized what really happened.

His mind blocked out the reality, which was too painful, certainly.

- He killed Léo Dumas? - Yes, he signed his confession.

He works in a military lab that is

experimenting with new types of exoskeletons

capable of carrying very heavy loads.

- The piano.

No telekinesis, no poltergeist. Are you happy?

- There always ends up being a rational explanation.

- Mm-hmm.

- Raph, forgive me.

I know you've had some pretty complicated weeks,

and if you think you spoke with Hubert Samsoni in the coma,

it has to be because you spoke with Hubert Samsoni in the coma.

- Nico, look what Théo brought me earlier.

RAPH: He's Stella's father.

- Uh, do you think you must've seen this,

and it came back to you in the coma

when you heard about Stella Samsoni?

- There you go, always a rational explanation.

- Well, I'll leave you.

- Thank you, Raphaëlle, really.

Did you tell him about dad? - Yes.

- He thinks I saw him in this magazine.

- Only dad's hospital room number isn't in the article.

- Mmm.

- I know, I wrote it.

- Mm-hmm.

- Are you going to tell him? RAPH: Oh my, no!

No, Nico, he's...

It reassures him that everything's rational.

I'm not going to disturb him.

Rehabilitation Room

Sighs

Rehabilitation Room

RAPH: Astrid?

I'm not going to make it.

What is it?

- It's a feather.

- Thank you. Sniffles

Hinge creaks

- ((Ah ah ah ah...))

Background conversation

- Yes I know.

When you have to, you have to.

PT: Hello, Raphaëlle.

- Astrid? PT: How are you?

- Astrid? - Your friend left.

I'm with you. - Yes.
