Who called it in?

Victor Raccoon.

I'm sorry, boss.

Can you get a picture?

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.

Monsieur Fumar said I could go to bed.

So I did.

Is Madame Fumala awake?

No.

She always stays up here.

At least three gunshots and none of you heard anything.

Get the team here.

Call the pathologist. Check CCTV.

Get Mert 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 Torrance 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.

I know.

But we will try again.

Not too long.

Yeah, yeah.

Good luck, mate.

I'll be fine.

Go, love.

Do what you do.

Let's keep the carnival.

You said Fomal was only in danger in his imagination.

Did he imagine this?

No.

I trusted you.

You came highly recommended.

I'm not responsible for other people's recommendations.

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

For that, I am responsible.

I withdrew my team. He's dead.

Any idea who did it?

No.

Roger Gaidam was the last person to see Fumar last night. He would kill Fumar

just because he was trying to take over his business?

This was on Fumar's desk.

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

was killed.

Gaidam driving the car that killed him.

He was hushed up.

30 years ago.

And Fomal found this out.

Like I said, he collects secrets.

A 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.

He's ended up his boss.

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

Come this way, you can see him.

Boss?

Guyden's secretary said he had a call with his board last night.

They said Fomar had been threatening to release information that would destroy

Guyden 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. I can't understand their office. The door's closed.

Okay, I need you to move the corridors.

What's your Gaidane?

It's Magre.

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 Fumal 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 past in my face.

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.

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!

Detective Tremblay. Need an ambulance at Guydon & Co.

So he's not a suspect.

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

You 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 Gilloux, and she's willing to talk first.

Celine, Felix, they're lovers.

Fumal said they'd 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 Ornedu 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, see,

getting the point.

Get out there. I need you to take the lead on this. Interview Marcus' parents.

Actually, maybe.

I should go with Lapointe. 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 Lapointe, interview Marcus' parents.

We will interview Martine Geloux.

Martine Gilloux.

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

You wanted to talk about Ferdinand Fumal.

I hear he's dead.

I heard 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 Fumal?

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.

Nicknames.

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 hated him or looked down their noses at him.

What about his wife?

Definitely hated him.

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

up trying.

Did you ever go to Rudacosta?

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.

It was on him.

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 McGray.

He needed to show the people who despised him they were wrong.

But he was better than them.

Who's that?

Boss?

Terrence has got something on Madame Kumail.

Okay.

Son!

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

easy access onto the street.

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

There's a key in the lock.

Key was in Madame Primaire's underwear drawer, which is also her drink cabinet.

Okay, so she comes down, lets whoever it is in. How do they get back to the 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 it 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's been murdered.

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

Tell me who shares your room.

Emil.

My brother.

He, uh, lost his job when that bastard brought her home.

I support him.

Sometimes he crashes here.

That's it.

Did he crash here last night?

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

What's his address?

56 D Avenue, Ramo.

Don't. 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 down'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.

Don't you have a 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, Jambier. 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.

Hello.

I didn't hear you come in.

Mila.

Don't worry about me, Big Ray.

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.

With the baby,

of course.

Then Layla.

Fumar, Gaidam.

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?

Maybe he asked for you because he wanted to show you what a big shot he was.

Maybe.

I met someone who knew another Fremantle.

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 Fumal as a boy in Sampiak?

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 it is.

So he made the 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.

But 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 list.

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?

Mestari most.

Mosta.

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 Firmal's staff are being held in their

and not allowed access to lawyers.

They're not under arrest.

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

can 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, okay.

Then hold them.

Now, Leila, it's been four days. Are we at your worst -case scenario?

Jean -Bio LePont, you've got anything?

Leila's parents have been investigated for breaking the 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 latest 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, which

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 2am 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 two miles safe open in ten minutes.

Wait, wait, wait.

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

It's real to Leila.

The number is the number of the new law.

2023 -451.

Right.

Get Goldman. He should know what was in the safe.

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, Frost.

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 telling 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.

God bless.

Yeah. Get his picture out. Get everyone there. Janvier Lapointe. Everyone.

We've got officers going through station CCTV.

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

he should still be here waiting.

Keep the CCTV search going.

You think he'll still have the gun?

Yeah, he's had all night to hide the money and the gun.

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

Too long.

So what do you want us to do?

Where's the point?

Credible told him to get out of the office because of the Leila Press

Paul, 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.

Excuse me. Have you seen this man?

Excuse me now.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

It's him.

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

There.

Uh, no. Boss, he's armed.

No. Raid will be here by now.

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

This is Lucas. Come in. Leaving.

Target is in the old waiting room east side of the station on platform 14.

One of our team is going in to cover us.

You ever been on a sleeper train before?

No.

But I'd like to.

Where would we go?

Anywhere.

Boss, raid team's in place.

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.

Moschini kid from Bosnia.

The only one who looked out for Ferdie Fumar.

And Ferdie 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.

That 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 to talk.

I'm sorry.

You didn't do anything.

I mean back in San Fiagra.

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?

But that 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 different

Why

I

mean why last night

After Gayadin left, I went in to see if Monsieur Fumal 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?

Nah,

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.

What did you say to him?

The point was, 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?

Fumel'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.

Marcus is making tea.

Take your coat off, May Gray.

Is 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.

Trapped with 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 used 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?

For God's sake.

Why?

Drink it, it's lovely.
