Ladies and gentlemen, the Court.

- Papa !

- Last week,
a kid died over shit.

I'm afraid for my son, Master.

He's going to ruin his life
with his associates.

Talk to him. I only have him.
He will listen to you.

- I'll try.

- And for my VAT problem?
- I'm the deal.

- Here.

- Non,
I will send you my fees.

Come on, goodbye.
- Merci.

- Don't go home.

Sleep here, it's ridiculous.

- No, I prefer.

I prefer my bed.

Sizzle

- Merci.

- Maître.
- Good evening.

- It's 12:30 a.m.
You have 30 minutes.

- Can you unshackle sir?
- Of course.

- I am Master Monier,
court-appointed lawyer.

- I don't know why we're seeing each other.

- You don't know
why are you here?

- I am accused of having killed my wife.

- No one is accusing you.
You are in police custody.

There is a doubt, a suspicion.

The police need
information for the investigation.

- Why don't I go out?

- The facts are serious.
They can keep you for 48 hours.

We'll leave it there.

Tell me in detail
what happened last night.

- I already explained.

- There, it's mine
that needs to be explained.

- I have nothing to do here.
I should be with my children.

He sighs.

- Mr. Milik, so that I can help you,
you need to talk to me a little.

- Last night, with my wife,
we argued.

- For what reason?

- She had drunk again
one shot too many.

I told him that I was
worried about her.

That's all.

She lost her temper and said to me:
“I do what I want.”

- And then?

- She yelled at me
to get out of the house.

I said it was my place too.

She wanted to slap me.

I dodged, but...

She still scratched me pretty good.

- Was she violent with you?
- No.

Well, only when she drinks too much.

As soon as I talk to him about alcohol,
It pisses her off.

She's hard-headed.

- Were you violent with her?

- I never laid a hand on her.

She is the mother of my children.

And we're not the same size.

- After she tried to slap you,
what did you do?

- I told him
that I wouldn't move from here.

And that...

I said words that...

You know how it is,
arguments.

- What exactly did you say?

- She should shut her mouth.

She left,
I begged her to stay.

But nothing to do.

I don't like
when she languishes on her bench.

- Which bench?

- When she is drunk,

she goes to the bench
from the village square.

Two minutes from our house.

- And then she went there?

- Yes, finally, I think so. I...

It hurts me
to see her get damaged like that.

I don't recognize her anymore.

It's not good for children.

Since she started drinking,
she doesn't care about it anymore.

Impossible to reason with her.

- Yes, I understand.

After his departure,
what did you do?

- I checked that we didn't have
woke up the little ones.

They were sleeping.
I went to Roger's house.

- Roger's?

- My friend Roger's bar.

Five minutes walk.

- What time was it?

- Around 11 p.m.

- Did you drink there?
- A glass of milk.

- No alcohol?
- I don't drink, I never liked it.

- Were there other people?

- Roger, his wife,
but she went to bed.

Roland,

Rachid and Karim.

We don't talk too much.

- What time did you come home?

- Around 12:30 a.m., 1 a.m.

Approximately.

We spoke with Roger
and I went home.

- Your wife didn't come home.
Didn't that worry you?

- It happens to him
to fall asleep on his bench.

-Outside, like this,
on the bench in winter?

- It happens.

- When the police came,
she still hadn't come back.

Didn't that worry you either?

- His sister Audrey
often comes to pick her up.

And in general,
she returns the next evening.

- Does her sister live far away?

- At Pontet. Next to Avignon.

- Your wife had been in trouble
with the locals?

- Oh, no.

- Someone with whom
Would she have argued?

- No, I don't see.

- If you have nothing to do with it,

someone must have a reason.

Think a little.
Please help me.

- I swear, I don't know.

I don't know, I swear.
I...

I want my children back,
my wife.

I'm going crazy here.

- Gentlemen.
- Good morning.

Hello, Jean.

Mr. Salah?
00:19:31,360
He understood that it was
because of Cécile. We were arguing.

- Tell us about the events
that followed from there.

- I sat at the bar.

I recounted my argument.

- It's the last one, we're closing.

All right ? THANKS.

- She's sick.

If she doesn't stop drinking,
give him the DDASS.

You will be very peaceful.

- I can't do that.

- Too good, too stupid.

Don't be surprised she crushes you.
- She's not crushing me.

She has character.
-Roger,

stop meddling.

- We're talking.
- Leave him.

I'm going to bed.

- See you later.

- Without the kids,
I would have screwed myself up.

- Is it okay to say that?

- Ah, I knew!
- Oh !

We don't get along anymore!

- Normal, we only hear you.
- This is my place.

It's not a sinecure, your Cécile.

You are better.

- A sinecure?

- A case.
She's drunk.

- It's not his fault.
- It's not his fault?

Whose fault is it?

If tomorrow she takes you away

Your kids, isn't it his fault?

00:21:15,920
- What what?
- I understand myself.

Brouhaha

Okay, we're closing.

- Mr. Milik, during your three years
in pre-trial detention,

you have designated Mr. Roger Marton

like your friend.

Can we say that you admired him?

- He was my only friend.

He sobs.

- M. Owned?

- Yes, yes, sorry.

Excuse me.

- If he was your only friend,
his opinion mattered.

Isn't it?

You didn't want to disappoint him.

- Yeah, don't disappoint him.

- When Roger suggested you
to kill your wife,

He wasn't going overboard?

- I didn't take it seriously.

When he was drunk,
he wanted to kill everyone.

He barked, but he didn't bite.

- When he said
00:23:06,840
you have consulted a lawyer
for a divorce?

- To inform me.

- What are the reasons
of the approach?

- Cécile drank too much.

It was getting dangerous
for Emma and Maël.

They were very small.

- You had

00:24:46,240
Do we agree?
- Yes, there you go.

- You knew
than murder your wife

would not have made you inherit
of his house.

Back to the interview
that you had with the...

the colleague

regarding the divorce procedure.

If you had started it, what

♪- Oui ?
- It's for the lawyer's meeting.

Rattling

If you refuse
to see the reconstruction,

it will work against you.

00:30:25,080
Barking

- What is this for?

- I am Mr. Monier.
Your brother-in-law's lawyer.

I have to get some of his stuff.

- He won't get anything.

Barking

- Ms. Girard,
if you have things to say,

I listen to you willingly.

He doesn't necessarily tell me everything.

- Malo, leave. Come on, get out.

Cleared.

You saw
how pretty she was?

She wasn't always
the rag she has become.

She was flirtatious
when she worked at town hall.

She loved to laugh and...

dance.

Before she met
this bad guy.

Because...

you defend him, you,

but he's a bad guy.

I'm not saying he doesn't have it
made happy for a time,

but these children
what he did to her...

He ate his life.

When our father died,
it was a shock.

It's as if she had
no one left to protect her.

Little by little,
she drank more and more.

I was ashamed

and it hurts to get her back on this bench,
in this state.

She told me nothing about her life.

I told him:

“Stay at my place.”

She loved her children.
Even if she didn't handle it well.

A window opens.

Thunder rumbles.

- Give him the photos
of his family.

It will hurt him
how it hurts me.

Now get out of here.

- You don't like
what I represent.

- I don't care.

If he survives, the memory of
my sister will keep you from sleeping.

Pounding

- The victim would have died
around 2 a.m.,

the night of Wednesday 19
to Thursday February 20, 2017,

more or less thirty minutes.

These photos were taken approximately
seven hours after the crime.

00:34:03,080
of a section
of the right carotid artery.

The blade pierced the neck
its right posterior face, at A.

She continued on her way
towards the left posterior face,

severing the carotid artery, in B.

According to the wound examination,
00:34:37,640
- M. l'expert will abstain.
He is not a mime.

- If you allow me, I will.

I feed Marceau for the mime
deep admiration.

Laughter
- Go for it.

- Thank you.

Mr. Expert, can you,
00:35:28,160
A path opens to you
for a reconversion.

Laughter

Mr. Expert, continue.

He clears his throat.

- The horizontal shape of the wound
and the blood

on the victim's lap
00:35:58,720
- It's a possibility, yes.

- That will be all, thank you.

- Mme Marton,

the evening before the facts,
did you hear the accused

utter the wish
to end things with his wife?

- Not that I know of.

It's the last one, we're closing.

- And your husband?

- She's sick.

If she doesn't stop drinking,
put the DDASS on him.

You will be very peaceful.

- I can't do that.

- He gave advice
to Nicholas.

Nothing alarming.
- Don't be surprised that she crushes you.

- She doesn't crush me,
she has character.

- Roger, stop meddling.

- We're talking.
- Leave him alone.

I went up to bed.

Soft music

00:37:45,400
- What did he answer you?

- He said:

"I fucking did it,
I did it.”

Brouhaha

- Silence.

Quiet, thank you.

- Mrs. Marton, your husband
he told you

what had he done?

- No, he didn't say anything else.

00:39:49,200
and his arrival in your room,

he had tidied up the bar.

- For two hours?

- Maybe I watched TV.

- You didn't take
your vehicle?

- I was completely drunk.

If I had taken my car,
I would have smashed her.

- You own

a survival knife?

- Affirmative.

- Do you know where he is?

- In the garage.

00:41:18,840
- Mr. Bailiff?

- Do you recognize this knife,
Mme Marton ?

- It's my husband's.

- He presents
the same characteristics

than the one who served in the crime.

Serrated blade, similar length.

Moreover,

the analysis report reveals
Roger Marton's DNA

on the handle
and also a tiny...

flesh particle
between the handle and the blade.

Unfortunately,

too small to detect the date

and provenance.

I have one last question,
Mrs. Marton.

In which hand did your husband write?

- LEFT.

- I will conclude by specifying
that my client is right-handed.

THANKS.

- Excuse me, Master.

Your insinuation is
of pure interpretation.

I see there
evidence against the accused.

In the hypothesis
where Mr. Milik allegedly killed his wife,

he could have requested
his right-handed strength

to immobilize it

and the blow would have been struck
by his left hand.

- Given the depth of the wound,

he couldn't have stuck the blade
with his weak arm.

- Master, we do not judge here
of a contest of strength.

Laughter

Intriguing music

- What are you drawing, Emma?

- Dad's prison.

With us ahead,
if one day we can see him again.

- Yeah, that's good.

Jade?

Didn't you draw anything for dad?

Jade?

- We knock.
- Children, it's recess.

- No, no, stay.

Sit down.

Jade isn't getting any better, is she?

- No, she still doesn't speak.

But she played with children,
last week.

What did they say
for release?

- The request was again rejected.

Your daddy asked me to tell you

that he loved you very much
and found you...

very courageous,
that he missed you very much.

- You think
that we will manage to see it?

- Visits are complicated.

You thought
what I asked you?

To come and testify?

- No, I don't want to.

- For what ? It would be useful
for your father to testify.

- I'm ashamed.

- On the mud, we find
the same pollution components

00:45:33,240
- Still with Roger?

- If I can't prove
that he was familiar to Cécile,

we will remember
that she let herself be carried away

as an argument against you.

- It doesn't mean anything.

She had been drinking.
Anyone could take it.

- Yes, but...

we have no other suspects.

Understand, it's not against him,
but for you.

Your wife
00:48:18,640
I'm afraid for my son.

He's a young bullfighter
who has talent.

He's going to ruin his life.

You have to help me reason with him.

He wants to withdraw his complaint.

- Jean ?

What do you have?

Jean ?

Hey, hey...

- Oh, it's nothing.

I had a...

a little heat stroke.
Like you will.

- How are you?
- Yes. It's better. It's nothing.

- Should I call a doctor?
- No, no, it's nothing.

- You scared me earlier.

You were white as a sheet.

Why are you smiling?
- Expression.

White as a sheet.
My mother said that.

- I'm not your mother.

But I tell you that you should
take care of yourself.

You work too much.

You get exhausted.

I didn't see you like that
from Portal.

- Nothing to see.
There's no proof.

The whole file is bogus.

- So for you, he is innocent?

- That's not the point.

I'm just talking about my defense.
I want to believe in my arguments.

- But you can admit
are you wrong?

- But I can admit
that I am wrong, yes.

Soft music

- I have excellent news.

Ms. Diallo from social services
contacted me.

Elodie agrees to testify.

If his father agrees,

she will be a witness.
- Awesome.

- Master Monier?

I learned some great things.

Portal, does that mean anything to you?

- Madam, please.

- The great lawyer who obtained a pardon
Portal the old man killer.

- Madam, that’s enough.

- What did he do, Portal?

immediately released?

He killed again and again.

- Come on, it's okay.

- Go ahead, asshole!

Go do your dirty work!

- Your daughter Elodie
must come and testify.

- Testify to what?

- That she needs you.

She has the responsibility
of his four brothers and sisters.

- I don't want to.

- You don't understand.

If I write a request,
the president won't be able to say no.

- She shouldn't see that.

- She's big.

- I don't want her to see me here.

After three years,

I don't want to.
Ringtone

- I don't want to.
-

- You confirm. No trace
of DNA, nor of Nicolas Milik

nor Cécile Milik

00:53:16,560
- Thank you, Madam President.

It's not that point
which interests me.

Mr. Constable, continue.

- We found
under the nail of his right index finger

a tiny residue of blue thread.

- You are probably talking about this
the bright blue suit

what was Mr. Milik wearing
according to witnesses

the evening before the incident.

- And which we found in a ball
at the foot of the bed

during the search
from his home.

- My next question
is for the accused.

Mr. Milik,
you weren't wearing a jacket

during this argument
00:54:12,240
It seems impossible
that she stoops

to punch you in the face.

- I don't know anymore.
Maybe I was wearing my jacket.

- Oh no.

Mr. Constable, remind us
the exact words of the accused

during his hearing
about her outfit

pendant son altercation
with his wife.

- He said he was wearing his shirt
in his blue suit pants.

Not his jacket.

- Not his jacket. On the other hand,

which is more likely,

it's that she struggled
understanding your intention

near the Van Gogh Bridge.

She would have attacked you.

That would explain
the presence of the blue wire

- and your blood.
- I could have too

wrong me at the time about
what I wore, to my audition.

- Even if you wore it,

you say that the argument
took place around 10 p.m.

Is it possible

just a residue of thread

stays under a nail too
long time without dislodging?

If the victim was killed
around 2 a.m.,

It's still been four hours.

- Master, for the defense.

- I will answer first
to the attorney general.

My client has absolutely no
no reason

to remember
of what he was wearing that night.

- He remembered it the next day.

- Today,
3 years apart,

it was one evening
like any other evening.

He has no reason

to remember
what exactly he was wearing.

It's like I asked him

what he wore
on December 22, 2016, for example.

- That's it, I remember that.

It was the Christmas party at school.

I had my gray pinstriped suit.

My favorite.

Laughter

- Master,

it would be more judicious
to rely on the police.

- Annie?

Are you pleading today?

- Yes.

And I just lost.

Your little bullfighter took 3 years
for drug trafficking.

- Nicolas's daughter

must come and testify.

- Did you hear what I told you?

- Yes, yes, the little bullfighter.

I'll go talk to his father.

- I don't think it's
its priority.

- Oh, Annie...

Do you have time for a coffee?

- Yes. I do.
But not you.

Kiss

Rattling

- Mr. Milik?

Hello Sir.
Place the dough.

I announce the death
by Mr. Marton.

He was found dead in his cell.

I'm sorry, sir.

- He coughed up blood
all night.

No one came to help him.

They let him die
like a dog.

- Nicholas,
it's painful for you,

but it will help us.

- No, Master.

It's not possible.

- I'll make you the list
what is against him?

Why are you blocking?
- He's my friend.

- Last month, at the judge's,
he said he didn't see you

go home.

He said the witnesses saw

your car to the Van Gogh Bridge.

- He was protecting himself.

- Stop
with your stupid loyalty.

Let me defend you.

- But Laura...
- But what? What, Laura?

You prefer a shame for her
or life in prison?

- It's okay, Master, go ahead.

- I learned
the disappearance of your client.

Accept my regrets.
- It's his widow's

that must be presented
your condolences.

I assume it's not
the compassion that brings you.

- You assume well,
my dear colleague.

- Let's spare ourselves the politeness.

- Alright.
I sincerely think

that my client is innocent.

- For what ?

- Beyond the file,
it is the death of Mr. Marton.

Before that,

I thought he dreaded it,
protected him.

But even after his death,
he continues to devote himself to her

unfailing loyalty.

He believes him to be innocent.

- You say that my client
would have been the culprit?

- That's why I'm here.

It's delicate,

but in secret

of your conversations,

Did he not confess to you?

If so,

we would request
with the presidents

the lifting of professional secrecy
so that you can

attend as a witness...
- Leave my office.

Get out or I'll have you disbarred.

Get out.

Out !

Squeak

Out!

Sad music

Door

01:04:00,800
Was it one of these vehicles?

- I can't say.

With the headlights on,
we saw nothing.

- What did you see?

- Two silhouettes
behind the car.

In front of the wide open trunk.

- Describe to us

the morphologies of the silhouettes.

- It's just an impression,

but the person
who was rummaging in the trunk

was bigger.

We didn't see the other one.

- So...

I would like to point out that Roger Marton
is 10 cm taller than the victim.

As for my client, he does not measure
only 4 cm taller than his wife.

- Any questions? Questions ?
- No.

- I've been there
around 2 a.m.

01:05:41,320
and the one on the ground was puking.

- But you called
the police 8 days later.

- Seeing

the call for witnesses in my diary
which I read every morning.

- Sir,

the person's arms in the air,

it didn't seem to you
be a gesture of distress?

- He looked like a drunk

who broke his face
and who wants help.

- No weird noise?

Screams, for example?

01:06:38,080
- Yes, thank you.

Sir, are you a second-hand dealer?
- Antique dealer.

- Yes, antique dealer.

The night you passed
by the bridge road,

you said in your testimony

returning from the Nîmes flea market
where you had a stand.

You should have arrived in Nîmes early.

- At 7 a.m.
for installation, yes.

- And you left again in the evening
at 2 a.m.

- I closed at 8 p.m.

We went to dinner
with friends.

01:08:01,160
We will resume tomorrow morning.

Once again,
the scene of the crime was mentioned.

And the two suspects
placed in pre-trial detention,

or, with the victim,
three people.

My question is:

Wouldn't there be
a part of autosuggestion?

Reading in the newspaper
three people,

you said you saw
three people.

- I have no memory problems
nor vision.

- Damn, at the end.
- Calm down,

sir.

- I'm not going to repeat myself!

- Show the defense attorney
respect.

It is an Assize Court.

- I beg your pardon.

- Thank you, that will be all.

01:15:30,800
being a civil party on behalf of
the administrator of these

to social services.

First of all,
I must say that the elders,

Elodie, 13 years old and Ryan, 12 years old,

are perfectly informed

and aware of the situation.

I would like today

transmit to you
their deep belief.

Neither Elodie nor Ryan believe their
father capable of what he is accused of.

And by their admission,

They miss their father very much.

This father who raised them alone,

with love,

made sure
that they have a decent life,

and this,
in the indifference of a wife

alcoholic and absent
for his children.

I'm not here to overwhelm

01:17:50,560
to whine
with his friend Marton.

Does he already intend
to kill his wife?

No, probably not.

Marton doesn't have it yet
strongly suggested.

01:18:38,800
Head to the village square.

Once you arrive at the bench,
the accused shows himself to his wife.

She is drunk

and doesn't understand what's happening to him.

She recognizes her husband.

SO,
she lets herself be carried by him.

We will therefore not find
no trace of violence

01:20:05,720
She knows that people want to harm her.

So she struggles.

There she snatches

a piece of the wire

from her jacket to her husband.

She also scratches his neck.

But it's too late.

Roger Marton is behind her.

He holds her with his right arm,
time for Nicolas Milik

01:20:59,840
where it won't be simple
to find her.

Ensuite, Roger Marton
takes the accused home.

He rushes home.

At home, he cleans the gun

with soap.

Like an eager assassin
01:22:09,480
he confides in his wife
and said to him:

- I fucking did it.
I did it.

- Tell me, Mr. Milik,
what did he do?

Storage?

Did he relax in front of the TV?

Non.

You know like me
that he killed with you and for you.

Because you are

both murderers
de Mme Milik.

The fact that you don't drink
doesn't help your case.

You accepted
in full consciousness

your friend's proposal.

And that evening,

the love you claimed
bring to your wife

and your children ceased to exist.

Mr. Nicolas Milik
is like Mr. Roger Marton.

He is guilty of the murder
by Ms. Cécile Milik.

His act was premeditated.

I require
against the accused

a sentence of 30 years
of criminal imprisonment.

Thank you.

- Prove it.

Prove your story,
Madam Advocate General.

Don't tell me the evidence
can correspond to it.

Be rigorous, say that they
demonstrate this with certainty

or stop
to take this story as true.

Because of evidence for the prosecution

against my client,

“They convinced themselves.

"She instructs them to question themselves
in silence and meditation

"and to search

"in sincerity
of their conscience

"what effect have produced
on their reason

"the evidence against the accused

"and the means of its defense.

"The law does not make them
that this one question...

“Do you have a deep conviction?”

It's not even
for the benefit of the doubt

that I ask you
to acquit Mr. Milik,

but because I am certain
of his innocence,

because nothing in his file
indicates the contrary,

because he always denied, during
these 3 years spent in detention,

because nothing is inexplicable

if he is innocent.

Mr. Milik is also innocent
for another reason.

He was by all accounts a good father.

He only wanted love
to his children.

If there was only one reason
for which he could not

killing their mother, that's never...

he could not have
wish them such harm.

Return this father to his children.
Acquit him.

Because it will be fair.

Thank you.

- Mr. Milik, according to procedure,
you have the last word.

Would you like to add something
in your defense?

- Yes.

Uh...

Although I miss my wife,

she won't come back.

And uh...

But my children, thank God,
are still there.

And uh...

they are all I have left.

THANKS.

Notification

It's the clerk.

It's going to be ours.

Ringtone

- Ladies and gentlemen, the Court.

- The hearing is resumed,
please sit down.

Mr. Milik, stand up.

The Court had to respond
to two questions.

01:33:04,200
by a majority of at least 6 votes,
the Court responded:

oui.

To the second question,

by a majority of at least 6 votes,
the Court responded:

Therefore,

He pants.

He groaned.

He pants.

He vomits.

He pants.

- Maître ?

Excuse me.

Can I say a word to you?
- Of course.

- I did everything

for him to be acquitted
during the discussions.

- You have no right
to say it.

- I know. But it's important
that you know.

In fact, you have convinced
all the jurors.

- Oh?
- We all agreed

to say that Mr. Milik
was innocent.

The president came to see us

and turned the wind
in the other direction.

Everyone was impressed
by her.

And there, listening to him speak,

they all began to doubt.

I'm the only one
who hasn't changed his mind.

I wanted to tell you...
that I was sorry.

So.

- Thank you.

And then one day I received
a call from the Arles gendarmerie

informing me that a certain
Nicolas Milik,

incarcerated in Tarascon prison

for the murder of his wife,
was indicted.

01:43:45,080
she started
to make allusions.

At school, in front of the neighbors.

“You know, Nicholas,

“He loves his children very much.

"I'm jealous."

I couldn't take it anymore.

That's why it happened.

I had no choice,
so I killed her.

having heard the children say to
how much they loved their father.

How much they missed him.

Eternal conflict
monstrous feelings

in hearts
victims of incest.
