(Music)

What? Where are you?

Don't move, we're on our way.

I just got a report of a murder, and...

- And what? - The culprit has turned himself in.

Wonderful! This case will be solved quickly.

Why the long face?

It's Stunia who has confessed.

What?

Your niece and her boyfriend live there?

Yes.

When Emily called me this morning, she was panicking.

Amalrik was attacking her. I arrived...

Take your time.

I tried to reason with him, but it was impossible.

He was completely high, violent.

He had a knife in his hand.

Why didn't you call us?

I couldn't.

He jumped on me.

He wanted to kill me and Emily.

I had to defend myself.

It was the only solution.

What state was your niece in?

She was terrified, screaming.

She was trying to calm him down, but she couldn't.

Was she on drugs too?

No, she'd decided to quit.

That's why she got back in touch with me, so I could help her kick the habit.

Got back in touch? Had you lost contact?

Everyone had lost contact with her.

Even her father.

And her mother?

My sister Maria died 15 years ago.

Breast cancer.

The medical examiner has just arrived.

I can't imagine being at a crime scene without you.

I'd say the time of death was between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m.

6:15 a.m. precisely.

I stabbed him five times.

That's a lot!

It's going to be difficult to argue self-defense.

I know, but it was either that or...

I didn't have time to think about mitigating circumstances.

The fatal blow was definitely the one to the jugular.

Elizabeth, just to be clear,

you're saying the murder took place at 6:15 a.m.

But you called us at around 8:30 a.m.

I know you like the company of dead people,

but two hours of conversation with Amalrik's corpse is a long time.

We were in shock.

Tell me again what time your niece called you.

Around 6 a.m.

And 15 minutes later, you're there and you kill Amalrik.

I live right next door.

Okay, we'll check that with the cell phones.

With the phone records, not the cell phones.

Emily's cell phone was destroyed by Amalrik and Stunia's has vanished.

We looked where you told us, but we didn't find anything.

Are you kidding me?

One cell phone destroyed, another one missing, that's a lot.

Elizabeth, how far are you willing to go to save your niece?

Look at me.

Fred, since we've been working together, have I ever lied to you?

I don't intend to start today.

I'm not talking to the medical examiner.

Answer my question.

You have to face the facts:

I committed murder.

It can't be her. I'm sure it wasn't her.

Then who? Her niece, Emily?

Yes, she's taking the blame to protect her.

If you're right, it's going to be tough to prove her innocence.

Everything points to her.

Where did the firefighters take Emily?

To La Timone.

I just lost my boyfriend. Can't this wait?

A boyfriend who, last we heard, wanted to kill you.

Emily, try to remember.

Why did Amalrik become violent?

I don't know. We had an argument.

About what?

It must have been important for him to threaten you with a knife.

Did you say something he didn't like?

Something like, “My steak is overcooked”

or “Clean up, it's your turn”?

- Did you want to leave him? - No, that's ridiculous.

So you attacked him and he defended himself.

I don't know, I don't remember.

Yeah, because you were high too.

I don't do drugs anymore. I'm in rehab.

Right, sorry, I forgot.

That's handy with a junkie boyfriend.

Another one who thinks I'm an idiot.

Your boyfriend, Amalrik, wants to kill you,

and you can't remember why you got into a fight.

You keep saying, “I don't know, I can't remember,”

but the only thing you're sure of is that Stunia killed Amalrik.

Is that right?

I'm innocent.

I'm not lying.

I hope so for you.

Because I don't give a damn about you and your boyfriend,

but I care a lot about Elizabeth.

Emily, honey.

What are you doing here?

Captain Cain, Lieutenant Borel. We're the ones who called you.

What exactly happened?

Elizabeth killed Amalrik.

He went crazy, he wanted to kill me.

But you don't care.

Why are you saying this?

I don't want to see you. Leave me alone.

What a lovely reunion!

I haven't seen her in six months, I didn't recognize her.

Emily was 12 when her mother died.

At first, I tried to fill the void left by Maria, but I couldn't.

Little by little, our relationship deteriorated.

Emily grew distant from me.

It was only recently that she became close to Elizabeth.

But she's an adult now, right?

On paper.

In reality, my daughter has never been able to settle down,

get a job, or find an apartment.

It's all because of drugs.

I've tried everything.

I have a biology lab, but I couldn't get her off drugs.

And now look at the result.

Elizabeth is accused of murder.

Elizabeth isn't accused of murder, she's confessing to murder, there's a difference.

And for now, apart from her confession, there's no proof that she killed Amalrik.

Then, who did?

She's probably trying to protect someone.

You mean Emily?

You read my mind.

Elizabeth!

It's nice of you to come.

I'm sorry.

It'll be okay.

I told you to be careful.

I did, you know that, don't blame me now.

We all have our ways of helping Emily.

Did it upset you that Emily got back in touch with Elizabeth?

She only did it because she needed money.

No, it was to wean herself off it.

No, you wanted to convince her to quit,

but she didn't want to.

You always want to save people.

What should I have done?

Not answer her calls?

Is that what you're still doing today?

Helping Emily?

What do you mean?

It's unbearable to know that you might be wrongly accusing yourself.

You also tried to save your sister,

but you didn't succeed.

You know what I'll miss most when I'm behind bars, Captain?

Your ability to play midwife to family secrets.

Boss, we have a witness.

The neighbor downstairs.

She has proof that Stunia left her home at the time she said she did.

“It's 6 a.m., I have to leave urgently.

Sorry about the croissants and have a nice day. Stunia.”

When you're called urgently by someone in danger,

do you have time to think about your neighbor's croissants?

It's obvious you've never tasted the croissants from my bakery.

I recognize your sense of humor when all seems lost.

If laughter is all I have left...

He who laughs last laughs longest.

This is terrible!

Dr. Stunia means so much to me.

Yes, I know. She looks after you, she takes care of you,

she even brings you croissants.

No, I bring the croissants.

I get up at dawn every day.

You know what it's like to be old!

No.

Every morning when I leave, I buy croissants

and leave them outside her door.

Except this morning, when you found this note under the door.

What time exactly?

Around 7:30, but she left it at 6.

It had been there for a while.

Did you hear Elizabeth slip the note under the door?

No.

She's the ideal neighbor.

So discreet that you wonder if she's alive.

You have a rather direct way of describing discreet people!

Isn't that how you grill criminals?

Exactly.

Josiane, thank you for your cooperation.

If there's anything I can do for Stunia,

you can count on me.

Borel, get the CCTV footage from 32 Michelet Street.

If Stunia went that way, we might have a chance of seeing her.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see where my daughter lived.

- Is that hers? - Yes.

It was the last gift she accepted from me two years ago.

See!

If she kept it, it means she hasn't completely cut you out of her life.

Do you know how long she's been living here?

According to Stunia, six months.

Maybe Emily moved here to be closer to her aunt.

Elizabeth lives just around the corner.

You can see her building from there.

If you go through that hole in the fence, it's even closer on foot.

That way you don't have to take the car, drive up the hill, and deal with the curves.

Do you think Stunia could have made it up that hill?

She's athletic, isn't she?

Do you agree with me?

Go on.

If Stunia had wanted to make a quick trip to drop the note at her neighbor's house,

that's the way she would have gone.

You realize that helping me clear Elizabeth's name

means accusing your daughter, right?

No.

I'm looking for the truth, just like you.

I hear your arguments, but you don't have much

to contradict Stunia's story.

Elizabeth had two hours to make herself look like the perfect culprit,

destroy evidence, and fabricate more.

Give us at least two days.

Two days to set the record straight.

You're assuming that everything you discover is false.

Aren't you afraid that your closeness to Stunia will prevent you from being objective?

Why do you say that?

You say she's protecting her niece,

but can you even consider the possibility that Stunia is guilty?

It sounds like you're bothered by the idea that she might be innocent.

No.

I just got ahold of Stunia's cell phone provider.

Her phone stopped transmitting after she called the police,

as if it had been deliberately turned off.

You wanted proof, here it is.

Elizabeth and Emily lied to us.

Let me confront them and you'll get a confession.

Let's see how it goes.

Fred,

I rarely agree with the judge, but he's right about one thing.

We love Stunia and we want to save her at all costs.

- We have to be careful. - Careful about what?

Our emotions.

We can't risk them turning against us or against her.

Could Mirabeau make you doubt me?

No.

Where were you when you called your aunt?

Try and remember.

Amalrik is after you, he's coming for you.

I'm not sure.

You were there, at the edge of the cliff.

Yes, that's right.

Except that to get away, you had to run past Amalrik.

Is that where you fought?

I don't know. I don't remember.

I don't know, I don't remember...

It's time to say something else, Emily.

I'm starting to wonder if it wasn't you chasing Amalrik,

and not the other way around.

Who has the knife at that moment? Him or you?

- Stop harassing her. - Who is it?

It's him.

It's him. Are you sure?

Why didn't you call the police?

Elizabeth is a coroner.

She deals with the dead, not the living.

You know what I think?

I think that when you called your aunt, Amalrik was already dead.

- No, that's not true. - Yes, he was dead because you killed him.

- No, I didn't. - Stop, Fred!

I'm guilty.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Let go of me!

Okay, you called your aunt for help at 6 a.m.,

then you sent her two texts.

What was in those texts

that made you decide to get rid of the cell phones?

What did they say?

Did you confess to murder?

Were you wondering what were the risks?

Were you panicking?

Answer me!

Signs of withdrawal.

A sign that your defenses are cracking.

I don't want you anywhere near her.

I don't want you to hurt her anymore.

Where did you hurt yourself, Elizabeth?

Climbing over the barbed wire to sneak back home on foot

and leave the note with the neighbor?

I'm going to stop hounding the living to get information out of the dead.

You and I have an appointment with Lucie at the coroner's office.

Let's start with the toxicology results.

Our two lovebirds were under the influence of drugs.

Heroin for both of them,

with a little something extra for Emily,

namely a new molecule intended for withdrawal,

found in Tapex,

a new drug that has just arrived on the French market.

I don't understand your niece.

She's taking heroin and at the same time a drug to stop taking heroin.

It's called a relapse.

Can I take a look at the test results?

Isn't that the drug you prescribed her?

Yes, it is.

Borel, find the prescription and check everything.

In any case, relapse or not, Emily was high that night.

Enough to lose control, perhaps, Doctor?

Quite possibly.

I can tell that the knife wounds were inflicted erratically.

As if the killer wasn't in his or her right mind?

Go on, I'm loving this.

I can also say with certainty that the blows were delivered by a left-handed person.

The blade clearly penetrated the tissue from left to right.

Elizabeth, are you left-handed or right-handed?

Right-handed.

One last thing, Doctor.

What about DNA results?

If we did find Stunia's DNA on the murder weapon,

there's no trace of it on Amalrik's body.

Right-handed, no DNA on the victim, this is a real dead end.

What are you going to come up with now?

That you beat him up in a krav maga fight?

That you learned how to throw knives?

Checkmate, Elizabeth Stunia.

A quick sketch is better than a long speech.

I can even do it in 3D.

Borel, would you mind playing Amalrik?

From left to right.

That's how it happened.

Amalrik had an earring

on which you must have found my DNA, Doctor.

Indeed, Amalrik's ears are pierced.

Did you do a DNA test?

No, there were no tests.

Do them immediately.

What were you saying earlier, Captain?

You're being filmed 24/7,

so if you feel like talking or coming up with a new plan,

don't hesitate.

It'll save me time.

The forensic team found Stunia's DNA on Amalrik's earring.

We have to face facts, Stunia is undoubtedly guilty.

No, Stunia knows exactly how I think.

She planned everything and covered all her bases.

She may be one or two steps ahead, but that's all.

If we consider the incriminating evidence to be the result of her manipulation,

we're not going to get anywhere.

Because you don't know her.

You don't know what she's capable of when she loves someone.

That's what I'm saying.

Why not consider that she might kill out of love for her niece?

Because I don't believe it for a second.

Even Emily's father thinks she's wrongly accused herself.

We're not going to give up on her, are we?

Lucie, for God's sake!

For now, all I see is that we have nothing.

But the investigation is ongoing.

Say what you think.

Love is right, we're biased.

I'm very happy for your feelings for each other,

and you have the right to be blind in love,

but not to lack discernment at work.

You're mixing everything up,

and I won't allow you to insinuate anything about our private lives.

Admit that you agree with Love for the wrong reasons.

You're going too far. Take back what you said.

Okay, I take it back.

I got Stunia's prescription.

No Tapex prescribed.

Go with him.

Borel, that's an order!

I'm coming with you.

Did Lucie ask you to keep an eye on me?

Yes.

But I also think Stunia doesn't deserve what's happening to her.

Welcome aboard.

I hope you've got a strong stomach because it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Lucie and the judge are sure to stir up a storm.

I'm sorry.

The situation is already complicated,

and if our relationship is going to confuse everything...

Don't be like him, don't mix everything up.

I'm the one mixing everything up?

It's not easy being where I am, between you two in your relationship.

I'm doing my best.

Why did I accept this job?

I didn't want it.

You're doing it perfectly.

You're authoritative without taking advantage, and you're fair.

Don't doubt yourself.

Don't let Cain drag you down into his bottomless pit.

I'm happy with you.

You're the reason I'm holding on, I don't want to lose you.

Me neither.

Tapex, you say?

You say Stunia gave her that?

Does that surprise you?

These are molecules that can have quite serious side effects.

Extrapyramidal syndrome, dyskinesia.

I mean, delusions, paranoia.

If this medication is so delicate,

why would Stunia have taken the risk of giving it to your daughter?

Would you have taken that risk?

No.

Elizabeth must have controlled the doses, or else...

Yes?

Emily got them on her own to increase the effects of her drugs.

Can you buy this medication without a prescription?

No, it's a prescription drug.

I know some pharmacists if you want to check.

Can my lieutenant use your computer?

Of course, please go ahead.

That's interesting.

Tapex has just been banned in the United States following a murder trial.

The perpetrator was found not guilty by reason of insanity because he was under its influence.

What a great idea to give her that drug.

I'm glad I came to see you.

Can I ask you to help me again?

To attend an interrogation with your expert eye.

With pleasure.

I'm at your disposal.

Did Stunia tell you about her relationship with Emily?

No.

Things are complicated between us too.

Maria's sudden disappearance shattered the balance of our family.

Elizabeth, Emily, and I all felt guilty.

I'm convinced that Elizabeth would have unconsciously preferred me to disappear

rather than her sister,

and Emily too.

Better me than her mother.

Conflicting emotions.

We were all left alone with our pain.

Things will fall back into place.

I'm here for that.

If you're sure you prescribed this substitute to your niece,

how come it's not on the prescription you gave her?

I gave her a box myself.

Hand to hand?

I don't believe you.

Who gave you this medication?

I don't remember.

Did you sweet-talk a pharmacist to get it?

Emily, you couldn't have taken this medication by accident.

Stop, I don't even know what it looks like.

Then how do you explain that it was found in your blood?

I don't know. That's your job, isn't it?

Elizabeth, you had never heard of Tapex before the autopsy,

otherwise you would have had a defense.

But you don't have any.

That means you didn't prescribe it.

It means someone else did.

It was the first time you wanted to get sober, right?

Did you see other doctors or someone else before turning to Stunia?

I can't take it anymore.

Were you behind the window?

Your methods, always.

I should have known.

I'm sorry, I didn't warn you.

Why are you putting us through this? Don't you think we're suffering enough already?

I wanted your opinion, the perspective of a father, a brother-in-law,

a healthcare professional.

You said you were looking for the truth.

I'm just trying to find out who's lying, Elizabeth or Emily.

And when all is said...

Are you asking me to choose between Emily and Elizabeth?

- That's awful. - Liar! You're enjoying this.

You didn't have to come.

I was tricked.

I came to help you. Both of you.

I don't think it's a good idea for you to get involved in this.

I don't want your help. Do you hear me?

He's the one who should be locked up!

Stop, please, Emily.

Why?

Go on, Emily.

What did he do to make you hate him so much?

Did he kill Amalrik?

Fred, turning us against each other won't change what happened.

You have my confession.

He tried to kidnap me to force me into a clinic in Switzerland two years ago.

Why is it so hard for you three to tell me the truth?

Do you love each other or hate each other?

I didn't realize how distressed Sylvain was.

Everything he had gone through to try to save his daughter.

It could have been him, right?

He could have murdered Amalrik.

- No. - I know you know.

Say yes and think about it. You can be free in a minute.

You asked me to tell the truth,

and now you're asking me to lie?

Emily lost her mother.

Don't count on me to make her lose her father too.

When are you going to stop paying for your sister's death?

You're not guilty of anything.

Yes, I am.

I killed Amalrik.

You were wrong.

Sylvain is sincere. I was with him behind the two-way mirror.

This man loves his daughter, it's obvious.

What's obvious is that he's lying to us.

He had his daughter kidnapped.

Why wouldn't Emily be lying?

Sylvain would have spent all his time accusing his daughter to clear his name?

That's too twisted.

It is, indeed.

My job is to find out what's behind twisted people.

I have to make him confess.

I feel sorry for you, Sylvain.

The more you help your daughter, the more she rejects you.

I don't understand why you're so determined.

She's my daughter.

It's normal for a father to want to protect his child.

Yes, but you're protecting her by accusing her.

I've already told you, I'm just trying to understand what happened.

And I'm trying to understand what didn't happen.

Stunia didn't prescribe Tapex to your daughter,

who doesn't remember taking it.

What I believe is that you secretly gave it to her.

Why would I do that?

You pretended to learn about the court case won in the United States in front of us.

You'd known about it for a long time.

When you found out, it gave you an idea.

If Emily killed Amalrik while under the influence of Tapex,

you could plead insanity, like they did on the other side of the Atlantic,

and she wouldn't go to prison.

She'd just have a court order to get sober under your supervision,

and your goal would be achieved.

So you'd kill two birds with one stone.

You killed Amalrik to get rid of your daughter's poisoner.

You have no evidence against me.

Charge me or release me immediately.

I think it's time we had a talk, Captain.

You don't mix witnesses without a letter of request,

it's unacceptable! It's counterproductive.

These are the methods of a banana republic, not a constitutional state.

You let this happen?

It's funny how you invoke the law when it suits you.

It didn't shock you so much in the past, with Tina.

That's irrelevant. Now I'm with you.

I'm responsible to the prosecutor.

You're going too far, Cain. You need to get your head straight.

And you need to get some sense back into your head.

We analyzed Emily's blood and found a very controversial drug

that causes delusions.

And you're wondering if the drug isn't to blame.

You actually want to save everyone, aunt and niece.

But a drug isn't proof, Captain.

All right, I haven't convinced you.

Just give me some time before you charge Stunia.

What do you think?

The custody period is coming to an end.

And in light of the investigation, I can't dispute Dr. Stunia's confession.

I'm sorry, I have to take her to court.

You want proof that Stunia has been lying from the start?

Give me two hours with her key witness.

Josiane, her elderly neighbor?

She's already testified.

I don't see why she would change her statement.

Don't give up on me, Lucie.

Give me the order to continue this investigation.

I answer to you, not him.

I'm against it.

The investigation is closed.

I'll give you two hours.

Well, I actually obey him.

What are you playing at?

If you're right, he's going to screw up.

You have nothing to fear.

Fred, how are you going to do it?

I have a very special charm that has a strong effect on the elderly.

Please, don't put me in an untenable position.

Don't cross the line, don't suborn a witness.

Suborn...

I don't know that word.

Hello.

How about sharing some baklava?

They're from your favorite bakery,

and Stunia says you love them.

That's very kind of her. Come in.

Remember, Josiane,

you told me you'd do anything to save Stunia?

I think I've found what that anything is.

You're a fan of crime shows, an expert, right?

How would you like to play a part in an investigation?

A real one.

Aren't you going to turn on your flashing lights?

Of course I am, sorry!

Elizabeth!

I missed you so much!

How are you?

Everything's fine, Josiane.

Is it true there are rats in the cells?

Did you lock everything up properly for the neighborhood investigation?

I came because I said something stupid.

Really? Tell us about it.

About the note.

You asked me what time I found it,

and I thought about it and got it wrong.

What made you think that?

I vacuumed yesterday morning at 7 a.m.

I know because that's when the rerun of...

Cain told her to recite her lesson by heart.

She wouldn't stand up in front of a jury. She'd be scared and back down.

We have to stop Cain before things get out of hand, he's headed for disaster.

It's too late, Commander. You should have stopped him before he acted.

The captain just recorded Josiane.

Now the tapes are the official record.

He's smart, but he'll be charged with witness tampering.

What time did you find it?

At 7:30 a.m., just as I was leaving for the bakery.

What's this all about? What does it mean?

It means that you came back to leave this note

after being at the crime scene

to prove that you were there at the time of Amalrik's death.

It means that you lied.

Josiane, by saying that, you're going to get my niece accused of murder.

What?

No, it's the opposite.

Yes, don't worry, her niece is innocent.

- And Stunia is innocent. - Don't believe him.

Believe me, she's accusing herself to protect her niece.

We know that the killer is someone else.

By dismantling her alibi, Josiane, you've done justice.

Thank you.

Josiane, he's manipulating you.

You know crime shows,

you know that by saying that, you're condemning me and my niece

to 10 years in prison.

Don't listen to her, she's stringing you along.

Josiane and I are friends because we've never lied to each other.

We're cut from the same cloth.

Tell the truth, Josiane.

Did Captain Cain ask you to tell this story?

Yes.

That's enough, the charade is over.

I'm trying to protect you, Fred. Don't you understand?

How are you going to defend yourself before the disciplinary committee?

- You'll be... - Suspended, yes, been there, done that.

That's a bit short of you.

Say “dismissed, fired for life.”

You're jumping in with both feet.

Josiane could go to prison because of you.

Are you going to press charges?

That's up to the prosecutor.

Stunia could be sentenced to life in prison for a crime she didn't commit.

Are you going to let that happen too?

I too would have liked to defend Stunia.

But how can we tell a court that we want to uphold the law

when we spend our time breaking it?

I believe Stunia is worth more than a procedure followed to the letter

like in police academy.

I can't take it anymore, Captain.

Since you've been in this position, I don't recognize you anymore.

You have no courage, no passion.

You're nothing but a sum of responsibilities and duties.

Get out of my office right now.

I'm with you, Lucie.

The risks you're taking to keep him aren't worth it.

You should be done with him.

It's over, you've won.

Your love for your niece will be the downfall of this police station.

I'm going to be fired.

Witness tampering wasn't necessary, all you had to do was believe me.

Elizabeth,

if I guarantee that Emily won't go to prison,

will you agree to tell me the truth?

Nice try, Fred, but you won't trick me.

You think I'm bluffing?

I won't go back on my confession.

Then I'll immortalize this moment.

Goodbye, Elizabeth.

Are you really going to be fired?

Who knows?

Maybe I'm really bluffing.

Hello, I'd like to speak to management.

It's about the transfer of one of my subordinates.

I've come to make a deal with you.

Amalrik was a scumbag who dragged your daughter into the gutter,

so I'll leave you alone.

But?

I'm guessing there's a “but.”

I still want to save Stunia.

If it means accusing your daughter, I'm in,

but you have to get Emily to confess.

For that, I need your help.

How do I know you're not setting me up?

You have my word.

That's what you wanted, isn't it?

You save your daughter, and I'll save Stunia.

It's a fair deal.

What's that?

An article about a trial that took place in the United States.

A man guilty of murder has been found not guilty

by reason of insanity due to delusions caused by his use of Tapex.

The verdict has just been handed down.

Your captain really has guts and determination.

Emily, if you were to confess to this murder,

the investigating judge has assured me that you would receive the same verdict.

Instead of prison, you would be ordered to seek treatment.

I have a letter from the investigating judge as proof.

Are you really backing this up?

It's a win-win situation.

Mediation and negotiation before trial.

The justice system of the future: faster and more efficient.

We were wrong, Cain is still a great cop.

I see. You've already taken the necessary steps, right?

Refuse, Emily.

You can't let yourself be accused of murder just because you won't go to prison.

When your mother died, you blamed me for hiding the seriousness of her illness from you.

You were right, I was wrong.

I didn't think you could handle it,

but you were mature enough to understand

and you would have helped her pass away.

Today, please, I'm begging you, be stronger than me.

Tell us the truth.

Take responsibility for your actions, Emily.

You're not in any danger.

Don't do this, Emily.

- You've already done so much for me. - No.

I'll be there for you.

I love you.

I killed Amalrik.

I can't believe it, he did it!

You were a little quick to judge Cain, just as I feared.

How did it happen?

I just remember waking up

with a knife in my hand and Amalrik bleeding next to me.

I didn't mean to kill him.

We're here, Emily.

You're free, Elizabeth.

Don't be sad.

Don't think that the charges against you have been dropped.

Obstruction of justice is not a trivial matter.

Go ahead, Your Honor.

You know where to find me.

Well done, Captain.

You saved your Stunia,

but are you giving up on the theory that the father is guilty?

If I were you, I'd go for it.

Even if it means crossing the line a little more to get there,

go ahead.

Excuse me?

You have nothing to lose now. Lucie has requested your transfer.

Why hide it from him? It's the truth.

Fred, let me explain.

Explain what? There's nothing to explain.

I acted in the heat of the moment. I was tricked by the judge.

I'm far from perfect. He used me.

Don't bother.

Stunia is out of trouble, I can leave with peace of mind.

The idea of Emily living with the fact that she killed Amalrik drives me crazy.

Elizabeth,

I wasn't playing games the other day when I accused Sylvain.

Sylvain, Emily tried to kill herself.

What? When?

Last night. She tried to slit her wrists.

She was saved just in time.

- You're here too. - Stunia told me.

I'm so sorry.

How is she?

She's fine.

The intensive care unit at the hospital was great.

Where is she?

Visitors aren't allowed. Another 12 hours, you know.

It's protocol.

Come on.

The nurses found this on her.

She wanted to join Amalrik, her angel, her love.

How can she rebuild her life after this?

Haunted by the ghost of Amalrik.

Can you see yourself in a few years, telling your grandchildren,

“Your mother killed her first love”?

She wasn't responsible for her actions.

Who really is?

What matters is that she believes it.

She'll have to live with this lifeline we've given her,

but it's a one-way ticket to hell.

Sylvain, the truth is what could set her free.

That's impossible.

One day, living with this hidden pain,

your daughter will wither and dry up.

You yourself will find her ugly.

It will be your fault.

She's so pretty.

When I see her, I see your wife,

and I'm sure you do too.

It haunts you.

Sylvain, you have to tell the truth

for Maria's sake,

so that your wife's soul can live on through your daughter,

so that Emily can pass on the strength of love that her mother gave her

and that she gave you too, I'm sure of it.

Otherwise, Maria died for nothing.

You loved her for nothing.

Do you want to give Emily that strength?

You have to restore her confidence by freeing her from guilt,

by telling her the truth.

That's how she'll love you, and you'll finally be able to truly love her.

So that life can triumph over death and this story can help us all grow.

Emily is the only thing I have left of Maria.

It's unbearable to know that she was going to leave like that.

Amalrik had to disappear.

Didn't you try to kill yourself?

You're alive!

Forgive me.

He was right about everything.

Is that why you love him?

I don't know what came over me,

I should never have done that.

He'll never forgive me.

Do you want to keep the pretty little key ring you brought me back

from the Caribbean?

I'll keep it,

I'll need a souvenir of you.

I'm the one who's being transferred, and you're taking my place.
