Original subtitles

We sure got clobbered yesterday.

We needed the win.

They were better than us. That's that.

Yeah, right.

Hey, where's coach? Is she coming?

I'll go get her.

Are you good?

Keep stretching, OK?

Audrey, are you OK?

Well, see you next week.

OK, mom. I'm not a baby.

Will you be mad for much longer? We're your parents.

The Colonel wanted to bury the incident

and you refused.

How upstanding!

Things are not always easy.

I know I messed up,

but you could have cut me a break.

He's right, mom. You guys overdid it.

- Good morning. - Morning.

This way?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Hi, Camille. - Hello, Chief.

- Are you OK? - I've been better.

So, the victim...

Lucie Vidal!

Yes, exactly. It's her.

A rugby star.

She played for Montpellier as a half back.

- Or go-between. - Exactly.

But...

Was she found here?

There's blood in the dressing room.

She must have been killed there, then brought here.

Given the body's placement, I think the killer knew her.

I'd say she was killed yesterday after the match.

- Who found her? - The coach, Audrey Desnoyer.

Her screams alerted the medic. She's outside.

I wrote you a little memo.

Thanks, Camille.

- Where is the coach? - Outside, with Marchal.

Transfer the body.

- Yes, Chief. - Thank you.

Lucie Vidal, the daughter of Alain Vidal?

He was a great rugby player.

15 years ago, he was Montpellier's star.

Yes, and Lucie walked in his footsteps.

She was discreet and reserved, but everyone loved her.

Except her murderer.

She was a symbol for us.

A symbol of what?

Women's rugby.

We were only recognized in the 90's.

Lucie gave it all for rugby, especially in her work.

What did she do?

She worked for Munoz, owner of the club.

Michel Munoz, of course!

- He played with Alain Vidal. - Yes.

He's a legend. We owe him a lot.

How did Lucie manage to play rugby and also work?

Munoz gave her a flexible schedule.

He had high hopes for her.

Do all your players have jobs?

We have students, a cashier, a teacher...

Lucie fought to give us the pro status men have.

I'm a doctor, so I look after the team to help my brother.

You mean Michel Munoz?

The club's main shareholder.

Is rugby a tradition in your family?

It often is, yes.

It seems like Lucie's cervical vertebra were crushed.

When did you last see her?

In the dressing room after the match yesterday.

Did she have enemies?

No.

I imagine some might have felt jealous of her talents.

No, not at all.

Everyone admired Lucie...

and her talents.

It must have been someone from outside.

That's the only possibility...

You'll be OK.

Lucie was a local idol, a half back like her dad.

The team's go-between.

Wow! So you like rugby now?

I've always liked rugby, Paul.

I mean...

I think the murderer was very close to her,

or he was a total fan.

500 spectators makes 500 suspects.

That's a job for Erwan.

Lucie had a boyfriend, François Blandin.

He's coming. He'll fill in some blanks.

I better go see Franck.

You must speak to Thomas.

Didn't he like our decision?

Well, going to court is not always fun, so...

Changed your mind?

I don't know. I didn't have time to think.

You make a decision, I doubt, you change your mind...

Anyways, he was trying to be like you.

So it's OK to punish him, but you 2 have to talk.

OK, I will.

OK.

- I'm counting on you. - Of course!

- See you. - Bye!

Were you not worried that she didn't come home?

No, she often went out

with the team after matches.

Did she sleep out often?

No, never.

Did she have problems?

No, on the contrary. She was very happy.

She had just made the national team.

Really?

She'd go to the World Cup, like her father.

It was the culmination of...

so much effort

and sacrifices.

People get jealous of that.

Yeah, maybe.

She clashed with another girl from the team this week.

You know which girl?

- Hello, Franck. - Hello, Léa.

So...?

Given her rigidity, I think she did die last night.

Was her neck really smashed?

It was a clean blow. She didn't suffer.

She hit her head as she fell, but she was already dead.

OK.

- So what was so urgent? - This.

Bruises.

Aren't those normal after a match?

Yes, but their shape is very specific.

They are definitely fist blows.

So she was beat up.

- I think so. - OK.

- Thanks, Franck. - No problem.

- We need to... - Calm down.

OK...

What's going on here?

The whole rugby team is now suspect.

Oh... OK.

Silence, please...

Hello!

Show some discipline!

I must pick up my daughter. Will this take long?

We'll do everything to help, for Lucie.

Thank you.

All the players have the same alibi.

They went to a bar after the game.

Nothing found at Lucie Vidal's home.

And Erwan?

Several people saw Lucie fight with another player

right before the match. Karine Levasseur.

Good. Would you get her for us?

She didn't come to train today.

OK, I'll tell Soler.

- And the CCTV cameras? - The killer skirted them.

He knew the premises.

Why wasn't Karine Levasseur there this morning?

She got injured last week. Why?

Was she at the match yesterday?

Yes, just watching.

It was an important match. May I know...?

Sophie, send a team to get Karine Levasseur.

Marchal express!

Home delivery. Karine Levasseur.

I swear I did nothing.

You tell us about it, miss.

Article 63, paragraph 3 of the Penal Code.

Yes, yes.

When held in custody,

people have the right to legal assistance.

So...?

We're all players, but have jobs.

I'm a lawyer. Karine Levasseur is my client.

How did you get to Karine Levasseur?

Lucie's boyfriend saw them arguing.

- So they were arguing. - Yes.

So I went to her house.

Without telling me. You made me look silly, again.

I might have said this before but... We have protocols.

OK, I'll send you a certified letter next time.

I suppose you didn't bring her here for an argument.

So, make your case.

Karine is a fly-half.

Like the victim?

No, Lucie was a half back.

- You know nothing, really. - I get mixed up!

Well, their 2 positions create a sort of hinge

between the front and wing players... kind of like us.

If you say so.

Lucie made the national team

and Karine wasn't.

Under-performed.

So Karine was so jealous of Lucie that she killed her.

It's a plausible motive.

OK.

Please inform Ms. Vidal of her daughter's death.

- No... - Yes!

Paul, please, I have an interrogation.

Oh!

Sentenced 3 times for burglary, with associates.

I didn't do anything directly. I just put off the alarms.

That's direct participation.

I've a knack for electronics.

But I paid my dues!

My probation's almost over.

Thus your electronic ankle bracelet.

Where were you yesterday after the match?

I was...

What are you accusing my client of, Chief?

Of being jealous of Lucie Vidal

because she made the national team.

I was very happy for her! She deserved it!

Plus, with my rap sheet, I had no chance.

So why did you fight?

OK, if you have no proof to keep her in custody,

we'll let you get to work finding Lucie's killer.

Sit down, please.

She's not in custody.

This is casual questioning that ends when I say so.

Please be seated.

- Chief. - Thank you.

I'm really sorry, Ms. Vidal.

I remember your husband's death 10 years ago.

He was a sports legend,

diseased at the peak of his glory.

If only he hadn't had that car accident...

Yes, but there was more.

Our greatest player... felled for doping.

Was that what turned him into an alcoholic?

No one wanted to forgive him.

We went through hell.

Lucie was 12 at the time. How did she take it?

He was dead for her before he killed himself.

She never accepted to talk about it.

His passion for rugby was her whole inheritance.

How did you face up to it?

Alain's best friend, another player, helped us.

We would have been lost without him.

Michel Munoz?

Please...

find whoever killed my daughter.

Yesterday you got an email saying that Lucie divulged your strategy

to opponents.

Yes, so I confronted her after the match.

Then beat her to death in the dressing room.

Wrong.

I was upset, yes, but look...

she defended herself.

We just punched each other.

- Who sent that email? - Anonymous address.

Untraceable. Weren't you surprised?

No, I didn't see that.

I was furious. I trusted her.

Lucie seemed distracted this week.

We thought she was just excited.

Yes, but she was betraying us, revealing our plays.

She should have just left.

But I wouldn't have killed her.

Anyway, my client was with us after the match.

You can check her ankle bracelet.

They just confirmed it.

Karine Levasseur didn't leave the pub all night.

Why would Lucie Vidal start match-fixing?

- Money? - No.

There's no money at stake in women's rugby.

There are betters,

sick people ready to bet on anything.

Especially on important matches.

Yes. We could check the online game houses.

I'll do it.

Only male championships are TV broadcast.

But Lucie wanted to develop online streaming...

- For women's rugby. - Sure.

There's a lot of market potential.

You lost your best player,

but also a precious collaborator, Mr. Munoz.

I don't give a damn, Captain.

I never had kids. Lucie was like my daughter!

OK. Were you the father she had lost?

I don't know.

Alain and I were different.

All he cared about was rugby.

He never thought ahead.

Yes. A miserable pension and no work.

I managed to build a club

because I anticipated things.

I loved that period!

I played too, you know?

I was a right wing.

I always loved to be with those guys.

They were passionate, fun.

That's just what I found in women's rugby.

Did you know Lucie had fixed the match?

Why would she?

To make some money

by revealing her team's tactics, maybe?

That's a stupid hypothesis.

Well, tell me why she sent a mail to the Federation

to refuse her spot on the French team.

What?

No, that's impossible.

It was a career-crowning accomplishment.

- Why did she refuse it? - Yeah, I don't know.

If it's linked to her murder,

I don't think the person who selected her did it.

I can't believe a player like her

would tell her team's strategy to the opponent. Unlikely.

If someone framed her,

they must've really hated her.

I'll go back to the stadium.

Maybe Lucie had talked to a friend and told her

she wouldn't join the EDF.

EDF... Equipe de France.

Yes. Of course, Paul, I...

I gathered it wasn't the electric company.

Just remember, Audrey Desnoyer is not easy to talk to.

I have a ploy.

Don't forget to talk to Thomas.

Don't worry.

And shut the door.

They put a door here?

Hi! Are they settled in?

If getting settled in means to fill your fridge,

one could say so, yes.

With chips and cakes...

Don't they like my prepared dishes?

They also need to eat

things for their age.

That's not why I made you come, mom.

I talked to Thomas, don't worry.

I think it's better he heard it from someone a bit more removed.

Oh, so I'm "removed."

You could have taken care of this yourself.

Shit! Why do they all go on about that?

What?

No, I'm just saying that...

you can reach them better than Léa or me.

They trust you. They tell you their secrets.

Because I have a method.

So I'll do things my way.

Yes, OK.

Kisses, mom. See you tonight.

I gotta go now.

OK? Bye.

Come on!

Maud, your footwork!

What do you want now?

It's funny.

I like you both as a lawyer and as a coach.

I must ask the girls something.

Breach of procedure?

I could use this against you in court.

I'll answer his questions.

Really? That's nice of you.

And she's not complaining.

- Under one condition. - You name it.

It's right there.

Yes, right there.

It's nothing.

This will be cold.

Ouch, cold indeed.

Weird manners for a cop.

I hear that often.

So Lucie cheated to sink the team?

I can't talk about the case, but we think it wasn't her.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

OK, so...

now that I won fairly...

Hey, I really did.

Can anyone tell me why Lucie refused her spot on the French side?

Maybe the lady who just adjusted my collar bone

- has an idea. - I mean...

Lucie was distracted lately.

If she refused an honour she'd always dreamed of...

the reason's obvious.

Really? OK.

Can someone help me out?

Only one thing can transform a woman to that extent...

...is love.

Love for her boyfriend?

No, not for him, for another man.

A head-over-heels passion.

Great, thanks.

Here we go!

I'm glad you're here.

I know who sent the team playbook to the opponent.

Who was it?

A big better on this match.

Her boyfriend, François Blandin?

Yes. How did you know?

Soler wants me to question him.

Oh!

Oh, that's...

cool.

Why would I have killed her? I adored her.

What about the bets, Mr. Blandin?

Online betting sites have legal obligations.

It was fairly easy for us to track you down.

Lucie wanted to leave me.

Was there someone else?

I don't think so.

If so, she would have told me.

Did you fix the match for money?

I wanted people to think she had fixed the match.

I behaved like an idiot. I was hurting.

So...

you wanted to have Lucie accused...

just to take revenge?

I wanted her to be kicked out of the team.

I repented right away, but it was too late.

When I saw she hadn't come home that night...

I thought she had left me.

I never thought they'd kill her over a lost match!

You should have thought of that earlier, Mr. Blandin.

François Blandin has no alibi, but he has no real motive.

So we forget about the lover?

Lucie could very well find another guy and say:

"I don't want to hurt you, but I'm leaving you.?

OK. Very well.

Camille, let's avoid gratuitous assumptions

and concentrate on facts: The GPS, receipts...

There must be traces.

OK...

we should also follow the Munoz lead.

He's the team's main shareholder.

Could he have killed her over her refusal?

He had high hopes for her. Then, suddenly, she drops out.

He had invested money in her.

But she was his best collaborator.

Maybe he just lost it.

- Grandma? - Yes, dear?

Did dad call you over?

That means I get to hear yet another lecture.

Do I look like the kind who gives lectures?

Boys always want to emulate their dads.

He was no genius at your age.

Thomas thinks dad was cool.

Cool?

That's because he omitted some of the details.

He brags now, but he wasn't proud of it then.

He and his pal

never returned the convertible they had "borrowed."

They had an accident, at a turn.

How did it end, then?

Not too bad for Paul.

He worked all summer to pay for the repairs.

The incident was a salutary shock.

He swore never to do anything stupid again.

Then he entered the police academy.

What about his friend?

The last time they spoke, he was in prison.

Well... what are you getting at, grandma?

Becoming aware of our mistakes teaches us to decide.

That reminds me of dad and his bouquet.

Oh, yes.

That's so funny.

He came with this huge bouquet for mom's birthday,

feeling proud because he remembered.

But it was a month early.

How can you remember that?

You were toddlers when they separated.

No... This was for mom's last birthday.

He still gives her flowers?

They're caught in the gray zone.

- Hadn't you noticed? - Nope.

Hello.

You're late.

I know, but I brought you chocolate bread and coffee.

I already had breakfast.

But thanks anyway.

Tax officials told me about the club.

- Really? - He's nearly bankrupt.

And...?

I also went to the land register, and look.

His firm bought a house near the salt marsh 6 months ago.

For what kind of sports event?

None. The house disappeared from the firm's books.

- Embezzlement. - Wait.

- Is the house near Sète? - Yes.

Oh, here it is.

It seems Lucie went there often.

So this was Munoz' bachelor pad, and they were lovers.

The mentor and his protégée, in the same bed.

A great classic.

I'll call Soler.

I'll head over with Marchal.

Are you out of your mind? She was my best friend's kid.

I'd never touch her.

But she spent a lot of time at that house.

I never set a foot in it.

I bought it for her!

- It reminded her of her childhood. - Why?

It was her father's.

Anne Vidal had sold it.

Six months ago, the owner put it up for sale.

Lucie asked you to buy it?

Yes. She reimbursed me parts of it whenever she could.

But the money didn't matter.

I thought she hated her father.

I think, deep down, she had forgiven him.

What did she do there?

I have no idea.

I was just happy that she had forgiven him.

Wow! Some place!

She sure had reconciled with her father.

This is a museum.

I can't believe she never told anyone

and told people she'd thrown it all out.

She feared rejection.

Everyone had condemned her father. Even her.

But she was still his daughter.

There's even match tickets. She kept everything.

Ah.

Even the doping pills he took.

It's DHEA.

A hormone that stimulates testosterone production.

But these didn't belong to Alain Vidal.

Why not?

- They're from a month ago. - Yup.

Hi.

Mom? What are you doing here?

- Is it Thomas? - No, no.

OK.

I just told him you're not that much of a hero.

But maybe he's not the real problem.

What? What did I do now?

Apart from still being in love with Léa?

What? Am I dreaming here?

You came all this way to talk about Léa?

You give her flowers, go to her house...

Wait. Stop.

I'm kind to Léa because she's the mother of my children.

Period.

And she's not well right now. She feels lonely and tired.

She's fragile, you know.

I hope you won't reproach me for being nice.

Will you?

Have you ever thought that she's fragile because of you?

30 years behind a counter.

I've heard hundreds of such stories.

Léa will feel fine when you're clear with her.

OK. Oh, OK, I...

You want me to be a bastard so she feels better.

Well, thanks, mom.

Paul, I spoke to Franck. Lucie never took drugs.

Maybe she sold them to someone.

We'll trace the DHEA using the bottle numbers.

- Come here a second. - What?

Thanks, Mathieu.

Enjoy your meal.

How is mom... I mean, your mom?

- She came to see you? - No.

The kids told me she's here.

You promise to talk to Thomas and ask your mom to do it.

I thought her experience might be useful.

Every time your mother got involved in our lives

it was a huge disaster!

- Sorry but... - She came to our wedding.

So what?

- Excuse me. - What?

The pills. I contacted an anti-doping agency.

They checked the local rugby team.

Last week.

- One player was DHEA positive. - How did we not see that?

It's just the protocol.

The results are need-to-know only

so suspects can prepare their defense.

And whoever it was didn't want people to know.

Who was it?

Karine Levasseur.

We won't have to chase her down, with the bracelet.

Thank you, Sophie.

- Karine Levasseur. - Yes.

Go talk to her. Or will you send your mother?

So...?

Yes, I'm here.

Karine isn't here, I tell you! She left an hour ago.

Erwan, are you sure?

The program too?

I'll call you back.

- Which is her locker? - Is this a search?

You'll be my witness.

It'll be by the book.

Locker 21.

Thank you.

This is a wave scrambler.

I made it for an alarm system.

I realized the bracelet worked with the same wavelength.

So you could remove the bracelet.

I only did it once, I swear.

I had an appointment with a fertility doctor

outside my authorized area.

You took DHEA while trying to have a baby?

- No, I never took a thing. - Anti-doping officials disagree.

DHEA is soluble in drinks.

We filed an appeal.

- Why didn't you tell us? - My client

in the sights of the anti-doping bureau (FLD)

but she hasn't been officially accused.

She's accused of murder.

By removing her bracelet, she lost her alibi.

And I now have a motive.

Because if you didn't take DHEA,

you could've thought Lucie had drugged you.

No, not at all!

She became enraged when I told her about it!

Yes. Doping, lies... Lucie had had enough of that.

So it's no surprise.

On the contrary.

She was mad because she believed me.

She'd promised to help me prove my innocence.

So Lucie Vidal believed Karine because she was her friend.

But all this reminded her of her father.

She likely thought that maybe he hadn't lied

and had also been drugged by someone...

If she was looking for proof of her father's innocence,

maybe she found it among the souvenirs at the house.

We searched it thoroughly.

But you didn't know what to look for.

Go back, with the right person.

We should also talk to the family friend again.

Who, Munoz?

He has a solid alibi.

For the murder, yes. Not for the doping.

His firm had a lot to lose.

Remember what I said about Karine and Lucie.

The hinge.

The hinge, right.

First, Lucie was my lover.

Now I get girls doped up?

Maybe Lucie found out you did the same thing to her father.

What for?

The hinge, Mr. Munoz.

Excuse me?

You were a fly-half.

Alain Vidal was a half back.

Without Vidal, you wouldn't have made the national team.

Listen...

Alain was not recovering from his injury.

I just gave him a little push.

I didn't know it'd end like that.

Is that why Lucie refused to join the national team?

Because she had found out the truth

and wanted revenge?

They traced the DHEA bottles.

Bought online?

They're from the Montpellier Hospital stock.

They should still be there.

OK, great.

Just go find out who stole them.

Oh, the hospital... Sorry.

Wait.

You'll see.

This bolsters courage.

- Go on. - OK.

Lucie had kept everything?

She never stopped admiring him.

And she did forgive him.

Why didn't she tell me?

I think she intended to.

She first wanted to prove that Alain had been doped

without knowing it.

He was recovering from an injury.

Everyone at the time thought he was guilty.

Well, you know...

a professional athlete might be...

willing to do anything to win.

Yes.

I also doubted him.

Don't feel guilty about it.

Do any of these mementoes

seem strange to you?

What do you mean?

I don't really know. I need your help.

This picture, maybe.

It was at my house.

What is it doing here?

We couldn't lose the championship,

and Karine had been very distracted.

She was trying to have a child.

Couldn't you replace her instead of doping her?

That's just what I wanted.

But Lucie refused.

They were a duo, Karine had her back.

So what happened to Alain Vidal taught you nothing.

You risked Karine's life to save your company.

You don't understand.

The whole region wants this. I can't fail people!

Do you understand?

Tell me, Mr. Munoz...

Does your sister work at the Montpellier Hospital?

20 buff guys. Is there one for me?

No...

I'm joking.

- Your sense of humor is... - Yeah.

It's the pro team, 15 years ago.

OK, and...?

And...

OK, I'll help you.

Alain Vidal, Michel Munoz, and their medic,

Stéphanie Munoz.

- She's in there now. - Really?

Yes. Soler will interrogate her.

Stéphanie stole the DHEA from the hospital

to dope Karine.

You guys scored one.

- Don't we have proof? - Not direct.

And that won't help. We just have another clue.

The medic steals the DHEA, Lucie gets it...

How did she do that?

Maybe they were at the stadium infirmary.

No, that's accessible to all the medics.

OK.

Such products must remain well hidden.

- Sophie. - Yes?

Can you check something in Lucie's GPS?

3 days ago, Lucie went to Stéphanie Munoz's

at around 10 pm.

Was it a medical visit?

No, I checked.

Stéphanie was at the hospital.

Do you want my hypothesis?

Lucie knew Stéphanie Munoz was not home.

So she went inside the house.

But then she realized there was a security system,

so she contacted someone who knows a lot

about deactivating alarms.

Yesterday was the first time you used your scrambler.

Lucie told me she could prove my innocence.

I removed my bracelet to go there.

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

That I deactivated an alarm while on probation?

Yes, I want Lucie's murderer to be found...

but I don't want to go back to jail.

My brother didn't force me to do it.

It's all about rugby, nothing else.

If his firm goes bankrupt, it could end badly.

Like for Alain Vidal.

I'm a doctor. I never risked anyone's life.

Especially not Karine's.

I prepared the dose very carefully.

I'm not sure any of this would have convinced Lucie.

She was going to turn you in.

I was ready to take the blame, for my brother.

I was going to confess.

But no...

She was mad at him, not me.

I couldn't let her go on.

My brother has to withstand so much pressure.

Scorn, shame...

He would have been rejected.

I saw what happened to Alain.

And 15 years later you kill his daughter to fix things.

She went crazy.

I just defended myself.

When I got up...

she wasn't moving.

I panicked and hid the body without second thought.

The expression on her face...

How long will it take them to get together?

What are you talking about?

Well...

Erwan and Camille!

Oh, no...

Come on, isn't it obvious?

She doesn't yet know she loves him.

I hope it doesn't happen soon. A couple at the office is...

Why? They're cute.

- That's me. - I like that one!
