Testing. All the rain through Beaumarchais.

Vodka, please.

We close in ten minutes.

We're going to try again, aren't we, Nigri?

We are. You should.

I mean, children are, they're a blessing.

They're a nightmare.

Aren't we?

The anxiety, the expense.

You love your children.

I'm going to sleep.

Oh, please behave.

We're not walking home in that. Better order a cab.

Oh, there'll be good time.

It's only a few yards to the metro.

Don't have to leave quite yet.

And do finish the tart, maybe.

If you insist.

And when you're done with that, let's leave these lovely ladies and finish our

game.

Hey, kid.

Wouldn't be listening to us, would you?

No, I'm just having a drink.

Not anymore.

Get out.

Oh.

Sorry about that.

Good night.

You ever get to smoke that?

It was my father's.

I have you, my friend.

Like a rat in a trap.

Check.

Checkmate. Hello?

Doctor, pardon me, it's Gino.

Somebody has been stabbed. He's going to come down.

I'm coming.

Can someone call an ambulance?

There's been a stabbing outside.

Look out, it's Magritte.

Stabbing on the route garage.

Local quarantine is stationed as soon as possible.

He's still breathing.

Stay with me now, so I can stay close and under your control.

Maybe. Maybe.

There. Keep the pressure off.

That one's here, too.

Hold on.

I'll end the doctor. You'll be okay.

Tell Henri not to wait up.

The crepe seller Gino, who's given a description of the attacker, was sending

wide. You've got an idea on the victim?

Antoine Bertie, a student of the Savant team.

The Bertie family own Lucien Perfume, so the press will be all over this.

Great.

Get Jambier to take Gino's statement.

Get a point of full CCTV, doorbell cameras, the usual.

Send Torres to the hospital.

That doorway.

Fingerprints, footprints, everything.

There was someone standing there.

I'm going to take my wife home. Call me if you have anyone.

Everyone knows Lucien Perfumes.

I don't. But you don't read Gossip magazine.

Is there gossip?

Madame Petit died about three years ago.

skiing accident in Val d 'Azur, very tragic.

Dad locked himself away. The daughter, Manu, started acting out, drug,

crashing cars.

What about the son, Antoine?

I hadn't even heard of him till tonight.

Torrance.

Kid didn't make it, boss.

He had some kind of recording device on him, like a tape recorder.

Stay there. See you soon.

Going to tell the father?

Not for you.

I hate your job.

Call in the morning.

I'll wait.

Monsieur Baty?

Yes?

I'm Chief Inspector Magre, police judiciaire.

Oh, dear.

Is it men who'll get it?

Thank you, Maria.

Please.

So, not me new.

It's Antoine.

I'm afraid he's dead.

How? He was stabbed.

He was taken to the Magdalene, but they couldn't save him.

I'm sorry.

But who stabbed him?

We have a description.

We're looking.

What can I see, my son?

Will you come with me?

This is Monsieur Batty.

He's in there, sir.

And he listened to me. The genius couldn't get it to work, so he called

Didn't make a lot of sense.

Traffic, random conversations.

I'd like to go home.

I need to call my daughter.

Of course.

General, we'll drive you.

Monsieur Betty, we found this recorder on your son.

Yes, it was for a project he was doing.

He said he wanted to record the sounds of the city where he lived.

I'd like to talk to you tomorrow morning, if that's okay.

Thank you.

Take it to Merz.

Now? Yes.

Merz doesn't sleep.

I need to know what's on it.

Okay,

why are we listening to this? Because of what he recorded next.

Sounds like some kind of burglary.

Sorry about that.

That was 30 minutes before he was stabbed.

Like they knew he'd overheard them and decided he was a liability.

Chief Inspector.

Torrance, Janvier, Bar -Lorraine. Get descriptions of the three men.

Carver and La Pointe. Follow up with the locals on CCTV.

Both Batty and the three guys from the bar.

Janvier had a description of the killer from Gino, the crepe seller.

It's in his statement.

Well, if Jean -Pierre got a description, why can't Jean -Pierre do the CCTV?

We will talk to the father.

Good morning, Chief Inspector.

Good morning, Cesar.

We heard that Petit got caught in a drug turf war. Is that what you heard?

Do

you

have any news?

I'm afraid not.

We'd like to talk to you about your son, sir.

What sort of man he was.

His friendships, relationships, interests.

But also, if you know of anyone who would want to hurt him.

Or you.

We're closed.

We just got in here last night.

Not that I recall.

Can I use your facilities?

Women and their tiny bladders. Still, they rule the world.

I like your hair.

Was he in here last night?

With anyone, did he, uh...

Talked to anyone?

A guy talked to him. He seemed kind of pissed off.

Can you describe this guy?

About my height, black baseball cap, khaki raincoat, scary eyes.

Wow, you should be a cop.

Could I be your partner?

Seen scary eyes in here before.

What about the guys he was with?

How do you know he was with anyone?

Magic. Magic.

OK. One of the guys he was with does come in here. He owns a famous shop two

streets over.

His name is Bronco.

Two minutes after your guy left, they all left.

If you think of anything else... Wait.

Pour something.

Can I buy you a drink?

Sorry, I'm already taken.

Who by?

A married middle -aged white guy.

Well, since my wife died, he's been the perfect son.

He left the bad behavior to his sister.

Those are enemies. They're a bunch of vultures. We should throw them out, all

them. You know, this is Chief Inspector Maygrave.

Sergeant Lucas, police tradition.

I'm so sorry, Doctor.

It's all right.

We'll talk when they've gone.

Answer me, Neil.

Go away.

This is your brother's room.

Great, a genius.

Where were you last night?

You're questioning me.

Yes. Where?

At a party in London, okay?

Do you know anyone who'd want to kill your brother?

Me.

Because he was so good, because he was never in trouble with... Oh, please,

go away.

I'm interested in the recordings your brother was making.

I want to listen to them.

Why?

Your father said Antoine was listening to Paris.

Maybe Paris told him something.

Do you know who they are?

You know his password?

Just because he was good doesn't mean he wasn't an idiot.

Do you know why he made the recordings?

He said we were born into unearned luxury and that we never

spoke to the rest of the world who outnumber us a billion to one. So he

was going to listen.

Because how else...

Would we learn to talk?

Because without talk, we wouldn't build bridges and we'd be swept away.

But either died or maybe it was consumed

by the fire. Like I said, it was an idiot.

Do you want a thumb drive?

Who's learning Arabic?

Oh, I don't know.

Look, he wasn't really an idiot. He was my older brother, but he was more like

my little brother, and I felt like I had to protect him.

Terence.

Terence, he's got something.

We've got the guys Antoine recorded.

Brancoux's framing and restoration.

The waiter at the bar said he was there last night.

And that is Brancoux. And we think the other guy is the one who spoke to

Antoine. He fits the waiter's description.

He'd taken photos, the pants running them through records.

Maybe we'll get an answer this century.

I would if I had decent signal.

Okay, Emil Brancoux has a record for receiving stolen goods. The other guy is

Xavier Mila from Marseille.

Robbery and assault and a murder charge had to be dropped because the key

witness disappeared What

do

you want to do boss they're connected to Antoine and they've clearly got some

kind of job going on

Last, Mila's a killer, and he left the bar just two minutes after the kid did.

Boss?

Day on.

If they move, follow.

Ah, so not you.

That's one of these recordings I want to listen to.

Are you insane?

Get out.

I'm Mangray. I know your mother, the Countess.

I knew you when you were a boy.

Do you want?

Branku and Miller are known criminals. You're talking to them.

Receiving money from them.

Cash money. Why?

He wanted my opinion on some paintings.

Whose paintings?

I didn't ask.

Look, I'm an art critic and an art historian.

Published. My advice is often thought.

I didn't know Branku had a record.

And I resent your imputation that I would be involved in anything criminal.

This is a warning I give you out of respect for your mother.

Stay away from Emile Branku.

Antoine Batty's recordings.

Uploaded on this.

Ancient, but portable. Needed to use.

Antoine's pretty good at giving place and date, but other than that, it's like

40 hours of footsteps, traffic, music, people talking, people not talking,

leaves falling.

Do you know how much sound falling leaves make?

Exactly. You better borrow my headphones so you don't annoy everyone.

Lucas and the others are still at Bronco's.

Can I join them on surveillance?

Yeah.

Oi!

Listen, I'm not getting anything from the CCTV.

All I've got is one camera that shows the Bati kid leaving the bar, and then

about a minute later, three guys come out and go off in the same direction,

then they all get lost in the CCTV desert.

Are you sure about that?

Because to establish a connection between the gang and Bati, you will need

No. There's other ways to make a connection.

Listen, if you want someone to scour the CCTV...

Get La Pointe to do it, okay? I'm an inspector with degrees in criminology

psychology. If you want groundwork done, get one of the kids to do it.

Well, that was Luca.

Two more guys just pulled up to Bronco's in a car. She said if they leave and

split up, she can't follow them all.

Carver, join Lucas.

Give her a hand.

Okay, on the CCTV.

I will find someone else.

Sorry, we already started. What's that?

Are you recording us?

Tell him to turn that thing off. It's for his project.

It's not doing any harm.

I think it's ridiculous.

Even if it makes you into a star?

I'm already a star.

Can you pass the salt, Minou?

No, Daddy, I keep telling you, you have too much salt.

Yes?

Maygray, Sophie de Sanfiat.

You spoke to Maurice?

Yes.

Apparently, you accused him of being involved in criminal activities.

Potentially involved.

But that's nonsense.

I know my son. He would never do anything like that.

But he is.

Maygray, I asked for your help once. That does not give you license to go

your nose into my family.

Would you rather he was arrested?

Just leave him alone.

I have enough to deal with here without you harassing my son.

Goodbye.

Not for me. I'm not feeling great.

Just a sip.

You know, I hate to drink alone.

Chez Lavon.

Rue d 'Etoile.

Yes, can I owe you back again?

Only for the 14th time.

Listen, would you like to... Nadia, is he torturing you?

No, he just asked for coffee.

Then make him coffee.

He needs to have something to drink.

Hey, you.

Here's your coffee.

Thanks. I'm Antoine.

And I've got a new water tower, so you can move along.

Maygray's phone.

Uh, it's Inspector Carver. Is Maygray there?

One minute, caller.

Your team.

What is it?

Bronco's pulling the job forward to tonight.

They went to a bar and the point when it's an accident because no one would

think he was a cop.

Okay.

Okay, what?

Well, you want us to stay on them?

This is our chance to catch them on the job.

Inspector Carver, what job is this?

Uh, given their records, ma 'am, probably a high -end burglary.

What's it got to do with Antoine Batiste?

Uh, it's a possible motive for killing him. He recorded them planning the job.

He could identify them.

Burglary should go to the BRB.

Yes, ma 'am, but this gang could be connected to Batia's killing. We can't

hand them over to the robbery squad.

Carver, call Inspector Grosjean at the BRB. Offer them a joint operation.

BRB can have credit for the arrest.

Lecrim gets first dibs on interrogation. Got it?

Yeah. Grosjean, BRB, Lecrim, joint up.

Got it. Good.

You're not joining us, boss?

No, you can handle it.

You're acting like what they're doing is a waste of time.

Well, if they stopped some rich man's art collection being stolen, it's not a

complete waste of time. You don't believe there's a connection to Betty's

murder?

According to that theory, the gang killed Betty because they saw him

to their conversation.

So they stabbed him to death but left a recorder which has their voices on it. I

don't think so.

So you're letting Carver go on a wild goose chase?

Not especially.

He might catch a gang of thieves red -handed.

Nothing to do with Betty's murder?

I could be wrong.

I've been wrong before?

If you'll excuse me.

Friday rush hour. Shores are leaving.

6 .38pm.

Approaching Parc des Princes.

PSG versus Marseille.

Sunday morning, Monmouth, the bells of Sacré -Cœur.

Crossing the Seine by train on the Pont -Ruel.

Richardin de Tuileries.

I'm nervous.

Salaam alaikum.

Wa alaikum alaikum. Very good.

Are you recording me?

I record everything.

Will you say your name to the machine?

Hello, machine.

I'm Nadia.

You won't get in trouble seeing me? No. My uncle has some... He's just all about

the business, you know.

Money, money, money.

Because I'd like to get to know you.

I would like that, too.

Oh, no.

What? I've done.

You must have followed me.

Turn it off, please.

Lucas. Update, boss.

Gang's heading south towards Fontainebleau. We're following.

I'll BRB with you.

Inspector Grosjean and four officers.

OK. Keep me updated.

Do you think they'll wait until dark?

I do.

What's the plan?

OK. So...

Grosjean says they'll likely cut the alarms, post the man on the outside of

lookout, and then go in. So Grosjean and her team will go in afterwards and make

the arrest. I'll be with them.

Lapointe, Torrance, you take care of the lookout.

Jean -Pierre, Lucas, you best stay behind.

Excuse me.

Jean -Pierre's faster, stronger, and a better shot than me, so I'll stay back.

Thanks very much.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Not for a second there, Uncle. It's sounding like you actually like her.

No.

I don't like you either.

Are

you

Nadia?

I'm Nadia. Why?

I'd like to talk to you about him.

Antoine.

Who are you?

I'm police.

You know Antoine's dead.

You were in a relationship with him.

Who's dead?

Of course, his recorder.

The last I heard on the tapes, your family weren't happy about you seeing

Where were you last night?

Where was your uncle Hassan?

An Arabic girl goes out with a French boy, and he gets killed, so it must be

honor killing.

Is that what you think?

What sort of cop would I be if I didn't ask the necessary questions for fear of

offending people's sensibilities?

Where was he between 10 and 11 last night?

Her hours are 11 to midnight.

Come here.

You will see my uncle with you, and I will see you until midnight, okay?

Okay.

Anton didn't record everything.

He spoke to my uncle.

He was respectful.

He asked permission to see me.

And my uncle gave his permission.

We were going to take it slowly.

We had all the time in the world.

Is there anything else?

No.

Thank you.

Actually, yes.

What?

What's good here?

Look at you, Inspector Trendy.

Where's the food from? The restaurant where Antoine Bathieu's girlfriend

Bahra chicken.

How's it going?

A team of chasing art thieves.

I'm listening to Antoine's Paris.

Is it telling you anything?

I thought it was. Right, it was a false trail.

I've added a broken heart to the list of charges against the killer.

What if I'm wrong about this?

Like they are about the art thieves?

The correct guy said the killer stabbed Antoine from behind four times.

Then walked away. Then came back.

Turned him over, stabbed him three more times.

He came back and stabbed him again.

So it's personal.

Maybe, but... What if it wasn't the victim that was personal, but the act

that... Which would make it random.

Which would mean we might never find him.

Here we go.

Cutting the power, just like I said.

Stand by.

Power's off.

Jungle at the point. Deal with the lookout.

That pond is off.

I want to see if there are still padlocks on the bridge.

There are padlocks.

People are still doing it.

Love can break the rule.

I will show Nadia.

Love wins. Love always wins.

Hi.

I'll take that.

You're clear.

Gentlemen, hands up.

You're under arrest.

Hello, Mina.

Nice. I'll take that.

All right.

You two, call the local police station.

Get them to help you clean up this mess.

And I will take this lot back to Paris.

I want to see if there are still padlocks on the bridge.

There are padlocks.

People are still doing it.

Love wins. Love always wins.

Good morning, Madam Prosecutor. Morning.

Chief Inspector, your team did well.

I can see. Well done, Cove. Sure.

Mila's clothes match that of the killer.

Plus, he had a knife, which we sent to the lab.

So what's the plan?

The plan is to question them one by one about the night of Antoine Bathia's

death. We rotate them detective to detective, asking the same questions

one of them slips up.

What about the recorder problem?

They killed Betty but didn't take the item that connected them to the crime?

Yes. Well, maybe they didn't find it. Maybe they're just stupid.

Wouldn't be the first stupid murder we've had, would it?

May Gray, do you have an alternative?

Did Betty's tapes give you anything?

No.

Excellent sound. Good point.

Thank you. Well then, all yours, Carver.

Thank you.

You three, with me.

Really?

Go on.

It's Antoine Petit's funeral early tomorrow morning. I'd like to photograph

everyone who attends.

Okay, why?

In case the killer is there.

You mean rather than here?

Boss, are you setting up Carver to fail?

If one of this lot killed Antoine, then somewhere between Bar Lorraine and

Rougarance, there will be CCTV of them following him.

I asked Carver to look for it, but he preferred to arrest them after.

And you want us to keep looking at the CCTV?

Carver will now pressure the gang until the one with the most to lose, probably

Branku, cracks and implicates one of the others, probably Mila.

You think he'll be lying?

I don't think anything.

Don't forget to both go off to the funeral.

Sophie, what's happened?

What does it look like?

Your girl's finally given up the ghost and I've got to be in Montmery in 20

minutes. Well, I'll give you a lift.

We can call the garage on the way.

No, it's all right, Sebastian. I'm calling a taxi. Please, I insist.

Where in Montmirail?

The bank.

After Bar Lorraine, you, Brancoux and Sovereign went for another drink at Bar

Felice. I don't remember anything about him. We were trying to inspect the car.

Let's go back to the bar.

So far, they're alibi -ing each other.

But Carve's doing well.

Wonky's fidgety. He could turn on Mila.

Mila's clothes match the killer's. He had a knife. He threatened Bertie, and

he's killed before.

Look, I know you don't agree, but what if Carve's right?

He's not.

Can you describe the reason for bothering me?

Excuse me.

May Gray.

It's Sophie de Sanfiac.

I'm just calling to say sorry.

You don't need to apologize.

No, no, I do. You were right about my son.

He was dealing with Crook.

He was giving valuations on paintings. That's hardly a crime.

He was dealing with Crook.

As always.

When I need him the most, he causes me the most trouble.

What's wrong?

It's probably nothing, but I was on my way to Montmorey this morning.

I had an appointment at the bank. I had to ask for an extension to the

overdraft.

That would be humiliating enough.

But then, of course, my car broke down.

Luckily, Gautier, the estate manager, came by and he offered me a lift.

Okay.

The way he was dressed, May Gray.

One of his cufflinks cost more than my car.

Gautier took over when my father died.

Yes, that's right.

You think there's something going on?

I don't know.

What I do know is that Gautier seems to be getting rich from this estate.

Well, my family is going under.

My father didn't get rich, did he?

No.

No, in fact, he worked himself to death for us.

But as an estate manager, not the best. Am I right?

He made mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes.

What does it matter?

It matters to me.

failed you and samphio it was that that killed him as much as any stroke

that's why i've never been back your father wasn't a failure

he was a good estate manager he was honorable and loyal and i wish he was

still alive i have to go you

should come home may gray

I need to talk to you.

I'm on a case now.

When it's over.

I hope that will be soon.

Hey.

Who were you talking to?

Maygray.

The policeman, remember?

He says he's going to come down.

Really?

Why would he?

Because he knows this place.

And he's someone I can trust, and I don't trust many people around here.

I hope you trust me.

Of course I do.

What are you doing up here?

The command wants a killer.

Know anything about him yet?

Only that he's out there.

And not downstairs.

The press wants a statement about last night's arrest.

The lawyers want access to their clients.

The BRB want to question them. Carver wants to keep questioning them. So, in

your opinion, what's our next step?

Yes. Yes, what?

Haven't read the conference.

Okay.

But we don't get into the Betty investigation.

We just talk about the robbery. Is that clear?

Yes.

I know what I can do.

I'll show you. You can have a crash. I'll give you a chance. We've had the

of it.

Go on. Just let me know.

The crime developed a lead and the BRB followed it out. But the men you

have been questioned at the crime all day. So is this an art house or is it

murder inquiry?

A complex investigation with multiple lines of inquiry.

But one of those lines is Antoine Batty, correct?

Chief Inspector May Gray is leading the Batty case and he was present at the

arrest last night. So surely there must be a connection.

Actually, Zizou, it was me and Inspector Grosjean that made the arrest, not May

Gray. We're actually just interested in the motive for Batty's murder.

So Batik was known to the thieves? We don't want to speculate.

Chief Inspector Maygray, can you tell us if you're pursuing any other inquiries

in the Batik case?

Thanks to the excellent work of my colleagues, we are close to identifying

Batik's killer.

All lines of inquiry still remain open.

But is it one of the men that you arrested last night? You can tell us

surely? All I can say is we're not looking anywhere else.

That's all for now. Thank you.

Could you tell us anything about the man? Just anything, in general?

He's a coward.

He hid in the dark and stabbed an innocent boy in the back. That is all.

you, everyone.

I told you not to mention Matty. What on earth are you doing? Lame things.

Bit of a risk telling me you've caught him when you haven't.

He's got to you, hasn't he?

Because of Antoine.

I don't usually spend time with the victims, but I did with him. 40 hours.

I liked him.

Why?

He was unafraid. He had charm.

And now he's dead.

Yeah, someone crossed the line.

Sorry, do you mind? I just want to see what Zizou's going to say.

The case of Antoine Petit.

Who's Zizou?

Generally. Knows more about crime in Paris than most police.

What do you

mean he crossed the line?

He killed deliberately and at random.

He crossed the line.

He removed himself from the...

A community of men.

Has he killed before?

I don't know.

Will he kill again?

Thank you very much for your call. Make the call, please.

Who's on line three? What do you think about the performance of the police?

I think Chief Inspector Magritte doesn't know what he's talking about.

It's disappointing.

What do you mean by that?

He's clearly hung up. Okay, so keep your calls coming in. You know, this just

goes to show you that Antoine Bertin is really getting people fired up.

So when you really think about it, think about all of the crimes that are

happening in Paris right now. I mean, where is it?

Sophie. May Gray.

I'm in trouble.

Janosch, my boyfriend.

I thought I could trust him.

What's he done?

He said he disliked Gautier.

But then I saw them together, talking, laughing, and conspiring against me.

You don't know that.

Don't I?

I told you. I asked the bank for an extension to the overdraft. Well, I

get it. Guess.

Who the bank manager was who refused it.

Gauthier's daughter.

Your father warned me about Gauthier, and I didn't listen to him.

Maygray, now you have to come home before it's too late.

Sophie, I... I'm ill.

Maygray.

My heart.

I've been taking medication, but I seem to be getting worse.

I think Gautier was just waiting for me to die, but he's getting impatient.

He wants it all.

You have to come home.

I will come home, but I can't right now.

But it has to be now.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

But damn you, you're weak just like your father was weak.

Well. She sounds paranoid.

If you're worried, you could call the local police. No, local police won't do

anything.

This is about you and your father.

She knows that. She's using it.

I know.

She's also alone and scared.

You're not seriously considering...

You've just challenged a killer. You can't leave Paris.

A killer won't do anything, not yet. You don't know that.

He'll go to Batille's funeral.

He's living with the last death, not thinking about the next one.

I have time.

Megway, you are rolling the dice. Yes, I am rolling the dice.

After my mother died, Sophie was like a mother to me.

If something happened to her, I would not forgive myself.

You once said I had peace to make in South Africa.

Maybe this is how I do it.
