Original subtitles

I wondered if you'd come.

Here I am.

You're hotter than I thought.

I have a lot of steam to let off.

Sit down.

I've brought a surprise.

- For you or for me? - I'm the cop, right?

Now what?

Let's play.

What kind of game do you have in mind?

This game

is called "the truth".

We play it when we've nothing left to lose.

There's one rule: you tell everything to stay alive.

24 HOURS EARLIER

I declare open the 16th edition of the Sète Music Festival.

OK, Tania. Karim, sound check now. Everyone ready?

As part of this festival's Talents of Tomorrow,

I am honoured to introduce a friend.

What's your surprise, Paul?

It won't be a surprise if I tell you.

- I had to cancel yoga... - I know.

Surprise.

- Is it Camille? - Yeah.

You're kidding me!

- Did you know she sang? - I did.

We have a singer cop in the force!

Amazing!

I understand Erwan. She's gorgeous!

Why Erwan?

- He's mad about her. - He isn't!

- He is. - Erwan?

- Everybody knows this. - They don't!

They do!

- Wow! - She's good.

I'm thrilled. It was magic, thank you.

Not at all. I love that guy.

- Who's he? - Arno Alyvan.

I have all his CDs.

I'm not quite into that.

You used to like rock.

I was younger, but eventually...

He has style.

There you go.

This is music. It has melody, it's soft...

- It's a slow song. - Right.

- It's nice. - I like it.

Our first dance was a slow song.

I know.

- You remember? - Stop it, you're annoying.

What?

Enough. Gotta work.

- Come on. - We've been here an hour.

Hello, Camille.

I was about to call you. Your voice is...

You must come, I need you.

Slow down, I can't understand you.

- It's very bad. - Where are you?

At Quentin's hotel, I came here to meet him.

Calm down. Who is Quentin?

He runs the festival. We agreed to meet here

and he's dead, killed with my gun.

Calm down, don't touch anything.

Cordon off the area, we're on our away.

We'll be right there.

I'll call you back.

I came at once.

Quentin Vidal, 45.

Married, a son from his first marriage.

Music producer in Paris

and director of the Sète Music Festival.

- He bought it... - Last spring, I read that.

The festival needed

private investment.

When Camille got here, this was on.

Perhaps to drown out the shot.

What time did the music come on?

At 3:10, the guests said.

And you're right, they didn't hear the shot.

OK. How about the door?

No break-in.

Any CCTV footage?

You'll go through that.

No!

- Does the gun belong to... - It does.

Your son?

No.

I mean, he's Quentin's son. I practically raised him.

Where is he?

He went back to Paris with his grandmother.

Could you open the door?

Of course.

You live here with your husband?

We were planning to move here.

To run the festival full time.

Do you know if your husband

caused any conflicts

- when he arrived? - I don't know.

Mrs Vidal,

you can talk to me. I mean, really.

Any incidents?

There was a bit of a disagreement with Thibault Garric,

the festival founder, but it was solved.

Thibault was worried

Quentin had bought the festival only to promote his label.

Which I can understand.

He wanted his investment to pay off.

Quentin was a good man.

He loved his work.

He wasn't just a businessman.

OK.

This morning, Quentin promised Thibault

to respect his original idea of the festival.

Why were you at the rehearsal?

Marchal had a surprise for me.

Why did Quentin want to see you?

I don't know, he texted me this morning.

Were you two close?

We met three days ago.

And didn't you find it odd?

No, I didn't. After all, he ran the festival.

OK, Camille.

How did your gun end up at the crime scene?

Now that it's allowed, I always have it on me.

I'm super careful, though.

I put it in the safe before rehearsing.

Where?

In Tania and Thibault's office.

Thibault?

Thibault Garric, the guy who founded the festival.

I think I saw him back there.

Is Tania the festival hostess?

And my best friend, we started singing together.

She's Thibault's assistant on the festival.

OK.

We'll take your statement at the station.

No, ma'am.

Place me in custody.

Whoever did that knew my gun was there and I was meeting Quentin.

I've been framed.

News does spread fast. Hello, sir.

The Toulouse force will take over.

- You're too involved emotionally. - My team is professional...

You've worked with Barbier for at least three years.

No, Vannier joined us last year.

Vannier! So you agree she can lead the investigation alone.

- Excuse me? - Good.

The case stays here, but Vannier alone will lead it.

Great idea.

Thank you, sir. But she won't agree.

She already has.

Has she?

You were bluffing!

I'm beginning to know you. Don't let me down, Soler.

Do you confirm he died around 3pm?

With a margin of about an hour, between 2 and 4.

OK. Anything else?

No powder on his hands.

The lesions suggest he was shot from 1 to 2 metres.

- No suicide. - Right, a straight trajectory.

He was immobile and looking at his killer in the eye.

Any genetic indisposition against cops?

Pardon me?

A bad joke.

I wish I could get Camille off the suspect list.

Ask to be taken off the case.

Vannier's relationship with Camille is rather sour.

I'll balance it out.

I mean, you and Camille are...

Partners, yeah. 12 hours a day.

Send me the results.

Some 10 years ago, I saw Tania and Camille's concerts.

Their concerts sold out.

Tania the festival hostess?

Camille took a year off school to go touring.

Why tell me that?

Because I like Camille too.

12 hours a day may not be enough to know someone well.

You suspect her?

I don't.

That's not my job.

- Er... - Camille will be kept isolated.

She'll catch up with her reports.

Door, please.

Paul, consider any motive that would incriminate Camille.

Léa, I'd like...

The music at the crime scene went off...

Excuse me, you get the office with it?

If the music went off in the room while Camille...

The music muffling the shot is a hypothesis.

And sorry about your office.

To help Camille, we must avoid favouritism.

- Commander... - Captain?

Find out who had access to her gun.

- You're not wondering why Quentin... - Had invited Camille?

What for?

You have less authority.

It isn't about authority. No...

- Not now! - Excuse me!

Do we agree?

On what? I don't get it.

We have no choice.

I'm supposed to snoop around? That's his usual task.

I'm not gonna like this.

I'll do it with you. We're a great snooping duo.

I'll get my bag.

Unless you want my bag too. And my car.

We'll take my car.

And you closed the door! Jesus!

Who knew the key?

Tania, my assistant, Quentin Vidal,

and Karim, Tania's husband. He saw me give it to Camille.

Hello, Carine.

You've collected fingerprints?

I'll get these.

Thanks.

Do you know why Quentin invited Camille to his hotel?

To encourage her go back to music, I'd say.

I showed him some old videos, he was impressed.

The key, please.

3, 2, 0, 9.

3, 2, 0, 9.

Is that why he hired her for the festival?

No, Tania invited Camille.

Someone backed out, we needed a replacement.

Tania, your assistant.

She's a singer too.

Couldn't she sing?

This year, I needed her to host the festival.

Is this place ever used as a changing room?

No, why?

Because...

This earring belongs to Camille.

Our birthday present to her.

How did it end up under your desk?

There are four of you who know the key to the safe.

Tania, Karim, Thibault and you.

You're sleeping with one of them!

It was just flirting.

You're a detective.

You should have told us that at once.

An earring under his desk! That's not flirting to me.

OK, I...

In fact, it's getting intense with Thibault.

If we do it, I'll tell you.

Till then how is that related to Quentin?

This message was on his voice mail.

Thibault sent it this morning before the rehearsal.

You get it now?

"Don't use Camille to take revenge!"

I don't get it.

Describe your relationship with the victim.

I didn't have one.

You'll have to hand over your mobile phone.

Can I delete personal stuff?

I don't think so.

Why didn't Thibault tell me he thought I was in danger?

Maybe he wanted to sort it out.

It is...

It's 4.50pm.

Camille Barbier, you're in custody.

I am sorry.

Léa, Camille is in custody.

- Has Vannier lost it? - What would you do?

- Eh? - What would you do?

I'd simply have refused to lead the investigation.

There you go. But she accepted to do it.

Tell me you have news.

Oh yes.

Thibault Garric couldn't stand seeing Quentin hit on Camille.

He can't have killed him, we saw him in rehearsal.

Then, bring in that music thing going off at 3:10.

During the break.

Impossible to go there and back in 15 minutes.

Which means Thibault, Tania and Karim are off the suspect list.

The only person

who didn't go back on stage

after the break was...

Camille! You're not helping!

What do we do then?

Prove the killer went to the hotel and back in under 15 minutes.

I think I've found something in Quentin's emails.

Apparently he offered to sign Tania and record a demo CD.

Why is that a motive?

She said she didn't want her husband to know

till she wasn't signed.

He'd kill the producer to stop his wife's recording?

It's a lead worth looking into.

Absolutely.

Well done, commander.

I'll have Erwan question Karim Slimani.

Thanks, captain.

What's with her? Has she bought weed, or what?

I'm not like that, am I?

Great... Thanks so much...

OK, everyone take five, thank you.

Elodie wants the festival to go on.

For Quentin.

When Mrs Vidal wants something...

What did you do when you found out Tania was negotiating with Quentin?

We know you read her emails.

How jealous are you, Karim?

Are you insinuating I did it?

Not at all. Once again, what did you do?

I called the label in Paris.

I told them Tania had changed her mind.

To protect her.

From what?

From herself.

For years, Tania kept trying to be a singer.

She'd get turned down but she'd carry on.

When we got married, we promised it was over.

Music would only be our hobby.

Maybe it was her opportunity.

A demo CD means nothing. Tania would believe again.

That would've hurt her.

She didn't tell me because she knows it.

She doesn't know you called the label?

No.

She got an email cancelling the contract.

She was devastated.

Karim provided the best motive for his wife.

Tania could have killed Quentin because of that?

After all her refusals, maybe this was one too many.

You don't kill someone for a CD.

You're not a music lover.

I think it adds up.

Is that your contribution?

Report on the CCTV footage tomorrow morning.

It's an order.

Me?

I'll have to work all night.

Good night then.

Oh dear...

Thanks for getting me out of that cell.

Vannier told me to give this back to you.

Hang on, you dealt with this?

So you saw... everything.

Your phone takes nice pictures even in the dark.

There's nothing serious between Thibault and me.

I'm not in love.

I saw your concerts with Tania.

They're very good.

Why didn't you tell me you sang?

A singer cop? Not very convincing.

How can I see you sing if you don't tell me?

Erwan, it's not against you.

I thought I was more than a colleague.

Stocking up on sunshine for Rennes?

Shut up.

Julien gets his admission results today.

Don't worry, he'll pass.

No...

My heart is racing, I'm anxious,

I check my phone every 20 seconds...

My phone! Where is it?

- The deckchair. - Right.

Tonight you'll know if you're moving to Rennes?

Yeah.

But I don't want to leave Montpellier.

Isn't it weird?

Except for Dad, we don't know where we'll be in 3 months.

True.

What about your leap year?

Are you really going far away?

Imagine my job interview.

"A leap year. Very good.

"Where did you go?"

"I stayed mostly at my father's,

"on the terrace,

"and Tuesdays at the pool, for my pool pony classes."

I'll miss you if I go away.

I'll miss you too.

I wish Mum would swallow her pride and make up with the colonel.

If he gets sent to Timbuktu, the family will be torn.

Don't expect Mum to swallow her pride.

Hello, Arnaud.

Hi, Guillaume.

So Captain Marchal. Was it a long night?

No footage of Tania at the hotel on the murder day.

But...

Through the kitchens and service stairs,

you can reach the room without being filmed.

The kitchens?

You'd have to know the hotel well.

Right.

Like, say, Tania three days ago.

Good.

- A coffee? - No, thanks.

Tania, here's my suggestion.

Tell me everything

and you can choose what we'll write in your statement.

- OK? - Why do that for me?

For Camille, because she's a friend.

What relationship did you have with Quentin?

Let's go back to the beginning.

Why did you go to Quentin's hotel two days before his death?

To talk about the demo CD he promised you?

Yes, we had to discuss the contract.

Your husband didn't know it, or he'd have stopped you?

How did you react to the email that cancelled the contract?

I felt stupid I had believed it again.

- And you killed Quentin Vidal. - No!

Why did he choose the hotel to meet you?

You were lovers.

I promise you no one else will know.

Don't tell Karim.

He wouldn't forgive me.

How could I do it?

I love Karim.

I'm ashamed.

He's good when he wants to.

- I just said you were... - She's honest.

I was what.

She's angry with herself.

She isn't guilty.

I agree.

Let's question her husband, I'm sure he found out about it.

Maybe the victim's wife did too.

Paul, question Karim. You, commander, Elodie Vidal.

- No. - Excuse me?

I want to question Tania again.

She's ashamed, I know the profile.

Commander, follow the...

instructions.

Describe your first kiss with Quentin.

Are you playing good cop bad cop?

Last week, at the first rehearsals.

Did you fancy him?

Not at all.

Do you often kiss men you don't fancy?

I don't know.

He touched my arm and back.

He said I had a beautiful body

and voice.

You liked that, it turned you on.

No.

I... I don't know.

He was my new boss.

Against the promise of an album you let him kiss you.

Maybe more, two days later at his hotel.

Stop it, Tania.

Enough.

Tell me what happened.

He said he was always thinking about me.

He'd never felt that way.

He moved closer.

I pushed him away.

He said it was too late.

As I had kissed him once.

And Karim wouldn't forgive me if he found out.

So you gave in.

I was petrified.

I stayed there.

And let him have me like a whore.

No.

Not like a whore.

Like a victim.

I let him do it.

You did not consent.

He blackmailed you.

He took advantage of you, the law is very clear.

What Quentin Vidal did to you is called rape.

Camille!

I don't know, she didn't confide in me!

Well... OK...

You didn't notice anything unusual about her?

I don't know...

You just said she nearly dropped the festival. Why?

No idea! Maybe she was stressed or didn't want to host it this year.

She didn't tell me.

- She's your best friend. - You?

Do you know why she nearly dropped it?

Something happened.

- Tell me. - What counts is what you know.

I know nothing, dammit!

Your intuition was right.

Well done.

Thanks, Paul.

My intuition tells me

Tania didn't do it.

Hey, it's great to work together.

I mean, on the field.

You're right. That said, I prefer my office.

How long is that gonna last?

Let's talk about the colonel.

What's your plan to avoid a transfer?

You're not gonna give up, are you?

When I see how you behave with Camille and Tania

I tell myself we need you with us.

There are plenty of victims and colleagues in the force.

Yeah... That's a way to look at it.

Only, the kids and I are in Montpellier.

Wow! Good news!

- Nice, thanks... - Sophie is right.

15 minutes is long enough.

Someone could have gone to the victim's hotel during the break.

Shit.

Glad you like it...

"How to handle sexual blackmail." Tania googled it two days ago.

She wasn't in denial.

She wasn't.

She was looking for a way out.

I must make her talk.

Later, Paul.

Elodie Vidal suspected that her husband cheated on her,

but I don't think she knows it.

Neither does he.

So Tania kept it to herself.

Given her browsing history, she lost her grip.

Like, either her or Quentin.

The commander will question her again.

INCORRECT PASWORD

Shit.

ACCESS GRANTED

You didn't secure your password, Erwan.

You didn't want to take it lying down, right?

Why do you say that?

You visited dozens of advice sites for sexual assault victims.

What was I to do?

He said he was obsessed with me and wanted more.

I was gonna lose Karim and my job.

What kind of advice was it?

To collect evidence

and ask for help.

Did you do that?

I...

tried to talk to Thibault.

He's my manager.

How did he react?

He told me

there was nothing to do.

It was my word against his.

I didn't stand a chance.

When was that?

Yesterday morning.

Thibault isn't in his office. No one's seen him

and he's not answering.

He didn't defend Tania, but why disappear?

He alone can back Tania's version.

Did you check that Quentin was keeping him on?

Yeah.

But there was a draft email saying he had found someone else.

What's the date?

I don't know, sometime last week.

Before yesterday's agreement.

Someone will get the sack.

Right.

His wife knows nothing.

I'll ask Erwan to locate Thibault.

OK. Cheers.

Now what?

Let's play.

What kind of game do you have in mind?

This game

is called "the truth".

We play it when we've nothing left to lose.

There's one rule: you tell everything to stay alive.

What the hell are you doing?

Tania was raped.

She asked you to help you did nothing.

We don't know.

I heard you on the phone with Quentin.

You said, "If I go down, I'll bring you down."

- Uncuff me. - I didn't get it first.

You meant you'd hand him to the police if he fired you.

And you kept your job.

Camille, you don't know what happened.

Put your gun away, I'll tell no one.

I don't give a damn.

My friend gets raped, and you wanna save your job!

She may have killed Quentin because of you!

Please, uncuff me.

Erwan, have you located Thibault?

No, I have a huge problem.

Camille's gone with my gun.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

Don't tell Vannier.

Does Camille still drive a golden car?

Yes, why?

All you had to do was tell Quentin to leave her alone.

What difference would it make? He was in love!

You're a sick bastard.

You have 10 seconds

to confirm Tania was raped and you didn't help her.

You're making a huge mistake.

Nine...

eight...

seven...

three...

two...

It makes no difference!

It does to Tania!

She's mad! The keys are in her bag.

You shut up!

Tania may get life imprisonment.

If you talk, she may get acquitted.

This woman tried to kill me.

I didn't see anything.

Did you use Tania's rape to keep your job?

I dedicate my life to this festival.

I was about to lose everything.

My passion, wages, maybe my daughter's custody.

Yes or no?

Yes.

Tania wouldn't say a word

and I'd keep my job.

I'd never use a loaded weapon.

I am sorry.

When I found out about Tania, I went berserk.

I wasn't thinking, I saw you gun...

I know.

Good news is, Thibault won't press charges.

And the bad news?

Disciplinary board?

We know the rest.

One thing, Erwan...

If Tania confesses,

please let me know.

I'd rather know than keep torturing myself.

Are you serious?

Usual procedure, I have no choice.

I'm sorry.

Camille's mistake exonerates her.

She did that because she thinks Tania is guilty.

What about Camille?

I don't know.

Sophie is in charge, which gives me time to think.

But ?

What she did was bad.

The colonel wants to see me.

But I will support her.

As for the murder, we're left with Tania and Karim.

I looked into that backup artist story.

No CVs or signs of an interview.

So Quentin knew the person.

In Paris, they knew there was someone but not who it was.

Maybe it was his wife.

They even decided to live here to manage the festival.

You interviewed her, why would she...

Let's imagine.

Quentin promises her the job.

Thibault blackmails him.

He tells his wife it won't happen.

She looks for a reason and finds it all out.

She would've been mad.

- There's one thing to check. - What?

Come on.

I must see the colonel.

For Camille, trust me.

I'll get told off.

- I'll get my car. - Follow me.

Come on, Marchal.

Faster !

Come on.

Come on.

8 minutes 30 seconds.

You're not who you used to be.

And we're talking...

only one way.

And I bolted like a hare.

15 minutes

to go there, come back and commit murder, unfeasible.

I'm so disappointed.

What are we missing?

The music went off at 3:10 during the break.

Before that, someone would've heard the shot.

Or something else would have been used to drown out the shot.

What is noisy enough to drown out a gunshot?

Jesus!

Cannon shots!

It was right before our eyes.

- Why the laugh? - Because you're all excited.

I'm not.

Oh yes, you are.

Not at all...

Excuse me!

What's going on?

Oh yes.

The killer wanted to make us believe the murder happened at around 3 pm

when the music went off.

The killer had long gone by then.

Who turned on the music?

No one.

I mean, the murderer.

But way before the crime.

It's the alarm function.

Very practical to forge an alibi at any time.

How about the shot?

Fired an hour earlier, at 2:04

during the cannon shots.

At 2:04?

At that time,

Camille, Thibault, Tania and Karim were before your eyes.

Camille is cleared.

Hang on, are you telling me we have no suspects?

- You must be kidding me. - Exactly.

- Excuse me? - We're not kidding.

Who did it?

- What? - The killer?

I'll tell you when I nab them.

I have one thing to check.

I love that.

Yeah, surprises...

See you soon.

Why did you want to bring me here?

You overheard Quentin on the phone with Thibault.

He promised your job to him.

Can you open the window?

They necessarily spoke about Tania as well.

Too many betrayals at once.

The bastard raped her and wanted to live with her.

He was willing to leave me.

Like when he left his first wife for me.

- Why didn't you talk to him? - I did.

I threatened to tell everything.

He said I had no evidence, he'd leave me penniless.

And I'd never see Titouan again.

I raised him like my son.

I could start over, but not without Titouan.

Without him, I couldn't.

And... the gun?

I suspected the key was Titouan's date of birth.

I picked up the gun before the rehearsal.

I killed Quentin at the third cannon shot.

You went back to the theatre, you knew the programme.

There was a break at 3pm.

The perfect alibi.

I was married to a monster.

What choice did I have?

Forgive me.

Why?

I was afraid of disappointing you.

I love you.

We'll forget all that.

The public is about to come in.

How about a song the three of us?

You're allowed here?

The ban has been lifted.

What will happen to you?

Shall we?

She held a man hostage!

She'll be reprimanded.

Her sanction is dismissal. Barbier mustn't stay in the force.

Not given the circumstances.

She experienced questioning, custody, her best friend was raped.

The gun wasn't loaded!

Is that your decision?

It is.

You're covering a new blunder.

No, I'm not! Stop saying this!

- What is it then? - I just explained it.

A man was taken hostage...

My darling.

What are you doing?

Are you OK?

What's the matter? Tell me.

It's Julien.

He wasn't accepted in Montpellier.

He's going to Rennes.

The disciplinary board meeting is in 10 days.

Barbier will get dismissed. As for you,

by the end of the summer, you'll be gone.

I'm going with him.
