- Mr. Garcia, do you recognize yourself? in this image?

- Yes.

- Confirm that you are in company by Mickael Fages,

Sébastien Jacquet, Arnaud Lavallée et Michel Brzezenski ?

- We don't really recognize them.

- I recognize Clément Garcia and Arnaud Lavallée.

For the others, I'm less sure.

You were together On the evening of December 8th?

- Yes. A great moment for the BRI.

- You are moving

in a small group. It's not risky in this conflictual context?

We separated to use the toilets of a cafe.

And it took us a while to make the connection.

- Which coffee? - I don't remember.

- Where did the junction take place?

- On the Champs Élysées.

- At what height?

- More upwards.

- You remember streets taken?

- Small streets, I don't know which ones.

- Regarding the videos,

we see you Avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie,

Georges Bizet Street, Avenue Marceau and Rue Vernet.

What do you think?

- I wasn't paying attention to the street names.

- But it is your group about these videos?

- Yes.

It seems so, yes.

- Mr. Brzezenski, Do you confirm?

Did you have an LBD40? - Yes.

- Apart from you, Who was equipped with an LBD?

- Lavallée and Fages.

- Have you used it in heading towards the Champs-Élysées?

- It's possible.

We had to pull to hold on hostile individuals at a distance.

Some individuals were very violent.

- Did your shots cause Injuries?

- That's for sure, there are some who must have had bruises.

- Injuries requiring the firefighters.

- Not that I recall.

- I don't think so, no.

- Vers 18h30, a 20-year-old man

was injured in the head by a LBD, on Magellan Street.

What do you think?

- That doesn't ring a bell.

- I don't know, it doesn't ring a bell.

- Are there 2 protesters prompted

your colleague to be fired with an LBD?

- Non.

- Were you in that sector?

- I don't remember of such an incident.

- It was a day eventful.

- You didn't see Were any protesters injured?

- Non.

- Non.

- No, no.

- I don't remember protesters injured.

- They say there has been conflict situations,

and shots, but without power to locate them or describe them.

None of them remember a protester injured by a LBD shot.

*-There's a chance that one one of them shot Mr. Girard.

- Yes, but we don't know the circumstances.

*-You heard Guillaume Girard ?

- In writing. He's just starting out to regain the ability to speak.

Same version that Rémi Cordier:

Everything happened very quickly and He did not display a hostile attitude.

*-What do you think?

- I have no feelings personnel.

The BRI colleagues are not very cooperative,

But there is no proof that they acted outside the legal framework.

Impossible to know the truth.

Meows and honking horn

- How many days are we staying? in Saint-Dizier?

- All week.

There's nothing to do there. It's rubbish.

- There are gusts of wind.

- Super.

- Grandma will pamper you.

I bet she prepared its gratin.

What is Yogurt doing?

- I think he's fed up to be locked up.

It must be

ANGRY YELLOW VESTS! ANGRY CITIZENS!

A fighter jet flew overhead.

- Victor, will you help?

- Leave him be, he's playing with the cat.

You should make videos.

There are plenty of them on the internet.

I'm sure that Yogurt

would be successful.

- Dad, don't you want to buy yourself

A dishwasher?

- I enjoy doing the dishes.

Laugh

They're cute!

Oh !

Did you see how he jumps?

That one's funny.

Oh...

- Your mother is passing by

more time to watch videos than to talk with me.

- That's better

than the horrors of television.

If we did as I did,

The world would be a better place.

At least it's not violent.

These videos make billions of views,

and the world is still also violent.

On the contrary,

It prevents you from thinking.

Not at all, it makes you think.

to other things.

- When we no longer have a brain nor democracy,

you will sue if you haven't looked too closely

- Anyway, you have no heart.

He killed a mole

with his shovel. Like this.

- Ah good ? - With his shovel, like this.

- They're destroying my lawn.

- Your lawn. You're violent.

You're violent, Gérard, that's all.

She laughed.

A fighter squadron flew overhead.

What's left, apart from The kibble and the cat litter?

- Hepar

- Water for Grandma,

I'll take care of it.

Go get the kibble.

It's at the back on the left. - OK.

About Guillaume?

All the filth

who are on social media,

Which goes to show he deserved it.

- He is considered a criminal.

- I have nothing to do with that.

I came to see my parents.

- What are you talking about? - The truth.

I was born here. in Saint-Dizier.

- You're making something up.

- No. I grew up here.

I am with my son,

We're going shopping.

- Show me your papers.

- Pardon ?

- Your identity document.

I don't have my glasses.

Check it out yourself.

- Born in Saint-Dizier.

- Who are your parents?

- Sylvie and Gérard Bertrand.

- Sylvie Bertrand ?

- Yes.

- To Marnaval?

- Yes.

- Do you know her?

- 2 years ago,

She broke her wrist.

I came to help him with his care.

- You see that I'm not lying.

- Where does the investigation stand?

Nobody tells us anything.

- It is in progress.

This is a preliminary investigation. It's a long time.

I'm not supposed to communicate with you.

- Why? Rémi,

He was convicted in 10 minutes.

- He spent 3 months in prison.

He lost his job.

With a criminal record,

He won't find anything else.

- You don't care about that, do you?

What's it to you?

- It's a long time, But we do care.

You need to be patient.

- It's been months!

- Let us know if the investigation is progressing.

- I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything.

- Of course.

Come on, Sonia, let's go.

- It disgusts me.

If I were you, I would be ashamed.

- There's no need. Come on.

- Who is it ?

Are they Yellow Vests?

- No. You can see that they

They didn't have yellow vests.

- It could be

Yellow Vest protesters in civilian clothes.

- I asked you

if you knew her.

- I know.

- So you knew her. - Yes, indeed.

I no longer remembered

of his name.

She might not have told me.

I only knew her first name.

Gisèle, is that right? - No, Joëlle.

- You see, I don't even remember it.

His son was badly beaten up

during the demonstrations.

- Mom, are you doing this on purpose?

Or what?

You're not making the connection

with my job?

Are you investigating it? - Who do you think it could be?

- Why are you getting upset?

- It's crazy that you don't

Pay closer attention to what I say.

- I'm being careful.

I hope they won't to cover up the affair.

- You're not going to start doing that too.

Do you realize, You're talking about my job!

I'm not here to cover up the affair!

No! It's actually the opposite.

We have the auditions,

the requisitions, the minutes to be drawn up.

Investigations like this, We have dozens of them.

- I didn't say anything.

- You say everything that comes to mind

by the head,

You don't even think.

Do you have an idea? the work of the police

For maintaining order? Non.

Do you know how many police officers there were? injured at the demonstrations?

- We don't mutilate people who did nothing.

- Were you there? Did you see anything? No!

So, you know nothing, you keep quiet.

- I'll be quiet.

I have the right to have

I feel sorry for this young man.

- I would like to go to the National Directorate.

They have some good deals of integrity,

Not our thankless job.

- Under Decroly's orders?

- You won't last.

- I am with the IGPN

to catch the corrupt cops

Not the colleagues.

At every protest, there are complaints.

- Right now, We do more than that.

- I agreed

with the Yellow Vests.

In principle, they are right.

- Then they went off the rails, Absolutely twisted.

My colleagues are furious.

They are on the front line to restore order,

and at the slightest misstep,

They are blamed.

- They are treated like children, They are spoken to like children.

And again, nobody left. Don't talk to your kids like that.

So, on a mission,

They're letting off steam.

- A commissioner said that his guys were letting loose

like in a video game.

- Did you see the images from the BAC? who shoots

saying: "Voted, voted". With each shot: "Voted."

- Victor,

You turn it off!

He was hit by a Flash-Ball.

*-In the head? *-In the head.

*Guys, it's a shot

Flash-Ball. We're taking it away.

* -Attention, lift up. Lift up.

- Victor !

*Please, sir,

Let us work.

- Victor, you turn it off.

- Yes, I'm finishing my chapter.

- Then you turn it off. - Hmm.

- Okay, good night.

- Mom.

- Yes ?

- Why everyone hates the police?

- What ?

But no...

Not everyone hates her.

What are you talking about ? - Yes indeed.

Dad and you, You don't realize it,

You only know police officers.

But nobody likes the police.

- That's... That's nonsense.

During the attacks, They applauded us.

- That was a long time ago.

- Non.

- Yes indeed.

- Your friends tell you That they don't like the police?

- Not just my friends. There are tags.

- What tags? - ACAB.

All cops are bastards.

- I know what that means.

The people who write this They are fools.

Sigh.

Okay... Fine. I...

You're right. There are quite a few people

who say that they don't like the police.

But that's not a majority. And they are glad that it exists.

- That's not the problem.

- So what is it then?

- I already told you that. Nobody likes the police.

- And...

The problem, It's not about liking the police.

It's not a particularly pleasant job.

If you enforce the law, You're not making only friends.

The question is, what if people trust

in the police

and in their work.

Okay. You finish your chapter. And then you turn it off?

Intriguing music

- We have a video where you can be seen at that window.

You were watching before the firefighters arrived. - Non.

We want to rebuild the reality of the facts.

Your testimony can help us.

- I saw the firefighters

to take care of an injured person.

- You saw How was he injured?

I went towards the window

to the sound of the fire engine siren.

- You are suspicious.

We're not trying to trick you.

- I don't know what to say.

I'm not going to invent something.

that I haven't seen.

- All right.

I'm going to give you my card.

if ever something

it's up to you.

I'm putting in my personal number.

You can contact me

at any time.

We'll leave you now

- We went about it the wrong way.

- I don't think so.

- There's something she's not saying. - Oh, yeah?

Summon her,

It always has its little effect.

- I don't know.

She risks to close itself off even more.

Police siren

- Hey, look.

- What is this ?

- Soap.

- Did you steal it?

- It's a soap,

I don't call that theft.

Wow, it smells good. Do you want it? - Oh, no thank you.

But it's important.

You need to tell me

I understand that you are afraid.

You are afraid when you are with the police.

that people don't believe you.

I don't want any trouble.

with the police.

- So you saw something.

- You won't get into any trouble. - What do you know about it?

This will not be against you

reprisals.

You did very well

to find me.

- The police officers were out of line

must not do it again.

This type of police officer

must be punished.

- That never happens. - Why do you say that?

- Because it's the truth.

I can see it clearly here.

The BAC is monitoring young people.

They provoke them.

They annoy them.

They take them on board,

They hit them.

They write false police reports.

all the time.

They are never punished.

I filmed everything.

- Did you film it?

- Yeah.

There was noise in the street.

I saw some guys

around a burning scooter.

I filmed it with my phone.

Just out of curiosity.

And the police arrived.

- Do you have this video? - Yes.

I wanted to put it online,

And I said no.

Black people or Arabs,

Nobody cares.

This is happening to white people.

and I would have to do

something ?

You would have come,

What if it hadn't happened to a white person?

- Yes. The IGPN is also investigating.

about police officers in the suburbs.

- Oh yes ?

And how many were convicted?

- The IGPN does not decide, but

There have been police officers convicted.

- Convicted?

At worst, they got a reprieve.

No one dares to put themselves

with the police at their backs.

How many were sent back?

How much ?

- None sent back.

- None ?

You see. None.

Trust me,

Can you give me that video again?

- I don't have it.

He has his phone in his hand.

*Run! Run!

*Detonation

- There are two of them shooting. - Yes.

Look at the LBDs. - Run! Run!

- They fire at the same time.

- 2 shots, but only one impact. - That's it.

They shoot at a guy who runs.

That's not self-defense.

- They got a can of beer.

- There, nobody threatens them.

- Guillaume turns around

in its race.

- Oh really? Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Let me see.

*Run! Run!

- Okay, he turns around

to see what they do. - He turns around.

Does that justify shooting? He's running, he's not threatening.

- I didn't say that.

But they will be able to use it.

- It's a retaliatory shot. An idiot throws a can,

and they shoot at the first type that they encounter.

- There's also the kick.

- No, but honestly,

What's that guy doing?

- I agree,

He's messing around.

And they leave...

calmly.

That sucks.

- You manage to know

Who does what?

- Yes.

The kick was Fages.

Lavallée is next door.

At the bottom, Jacquet and Garcia.

Brzezenski

is further down the street.

- The shots,

Is it Fages and Lavallée?

- Yes.

*-Guillaume.

Guillaume.

*-Is the video on social media?

- Non. The witness did not post it online.

We'll be able to work more calmly.

Have you summoned them again?

- I was waiting to take stock with you.

Three out of five are not in mainland France.

*Where are they? - They were sent to Mayotte.

Brzezinski, Jacquet and Garcia.

*Ah. We're not going to wait their return.

Listen to Lavallée and Fages, the main suspects.

- Should I put them in police custody?

*-It's not that's what I had planned.

They lied, if we lose the effect Out of surprise, they will consult with each other.

*-What's wrong with you?

Usually, the prosecutor's office requests the custody arrangements

And the investigators are slowing down.

They don't know that the video exists,

I can put them face to face to their contradictions.

*If you hear them simultaneously,

They will not be able to consult with each other. Coordinate with your investigators.

- Heard.

Goodbye, Mrs. Bertrand. - Bye.

He knocks on the door.

- Lavallée is at the reception desk downstairs.

- And Fages?

- He won't come.

- Pardon ?

- Medical certificate.

He is on sick leave.

Is he kidding us? - What do we do?

Do you want me to call them back?

both

When will Fages be present? - Damn.

Go get it.

- All right.

- During your first audition,

you declared

don't remember

of an injured protester

by a LBD shot.

Do you stand by this statement? - Yes.

- You did not fire a shot

who would have injured

a protester

Around 6:30 pm?

- Non.

- Nor any of your colleagues?

- Not that I know of.

- I'll show you a video.

*-Les Schmitts,

What's going on?

Aren't we tired?

We have to go home!

Come, come, bring yourself along.

Course !

*Detonation

- Do these images remind you of

this incident?

- Not in every detail.

- Can you describe

What do we see?

- Rioters are hurling insults

and launch a projectile.

They run away when they see us.

Our group is arriving.

We meet again

facing two hostile individuals.

Fages and I are taking a shot

to protect our colleagues.

- Do you find that these individuals

are they behaving hostilely?

- All the protesters

were hostile.

They will tell you the opposite.

If we listen to them,

We wonder who committed it.

violence,

who looted shops,

ravaged the streets.

I'm talking to you

of these two individuals,

those who find themselves facing you.

How did their behavior

Did he justify a shot?

A shot must be necessary

and proportionate.

- They run away.

So they have things

to blame oneself for.

And one of them

throws a projectile at us.

- Where do you see

that he arms his arm?

- In its reversal.

It's not obvious in the video. But I didn't have the same vision.

In my opinion, His gesture was unambiguous.

He was threatening.

I didn't want to take the risk

that we take a bolt

Right in the face.

In a situation

of self-defense

We need to react quickly.

- Certainly.

You are not facing

to terrorists

more face

to two unarmed protesters.

- That's what you say.

- The images show it.

- Many protesters

have transformed

into wild beasts.

And a bolt can kill.

- It's an exaggeration to call it Mr. Girard's attitude

as being that of a wild beast. He sets off

by turning their backs on you.

What did you do once Was Mr. Girard on the ground?

- I don't remember. We have...

probably pursued our progress.

- Mr. Girard was hit in the head.

He was seriously injured.

- That's not the impression I got. I didn't aim for the head.

- That's Mr. Fages' shot Who reached Mr. Girard?

- I know I don't have aimed for the head

And neither did my colleague.

- So you are declaring

that after the shot,

you continued

your progress.

- Yes.

- I'll show you the rest from the video.

*Police siren

What do you see?

- It's not very readable.

It seems like my colleague it pushes back with the foot.

- It's a kick.

- I don't know. Maybe.

I don't remember that gesture.

- And then, seeing the gesture Mr. Fages' comments on the video,

Does it seem justified to you?

Does Mr. Girard pose a threat?

- I don't know.

Perhaps my colleague believes that the individual

was going to seize of an object on the ground

and that he didn't want to take of risk.

We'll have to ask him.

I can't answer for him.

- SO ?

- He is rereading the minutes.

He says he didn't aim for the head and that he didn't see

that Guillaume was injured.

- And the kick?

- He saw nothing.

- On his way out, he's going to call Fages

to inform him.

- That's it.

He needs to be taken into custody.

and to question Fages.

I'm calling the prosecutor's office.

Tone

Mr. Deputy Prosecutor, Commander Bertrand of the IGPN.

Thank you for reminding me about de Lavallée and Fages

in file 137.

- Talk to the magistrate permanent.

- By the time I inform him...

- Can I go?

- Non.

- For what ? - I am placing you in police custody.

- Pardon ?

- I am placing you in police custody for violence by a state agent.

You have the right to make yourself assisted by a lawyer.

You are also entitled

to a medical examination.

Are you kidding?

- Do I look like I'm joking?

- We, Stéphanie Bertrand, Police CDT,

continuing the investigation preliminary, having regard to article 75

of the code of criminal procedure,

assisted by Major Benoit Guérini and you, brigadier

chef Carole Delarue, armed with the requisition

for the purpose of compelling to appear under Article 78

paragraph 2 of the code of criminal procedure.

We transport to 5 rue Pasteur.

94450 Limeil-Brévannes, where, being at 1:15 PM,

we observe that it is a pavilion,

let's ring the doorbell which is open to us

by an individual corresponding to Mr. Mickael Fages.

Wearing our armbands,

having assured us regarding the identity of Mr. Fages,

let's proceed with his arrest, It is 1:30 PM.

Let's inform Mr. Fages that police custody,

as well as the related rights, He is notified

by separate report Immediately. Noted.

Keypad beep

- Wait for me in my office.

Stephanie! Stephanie!

What is this police custody?

without the agreement of the prosecutor's office?

- I had to anticipate.

Langlois could not be reached.

He called me back

and gave me the green light

for the arrest. - Is everything in order?

- Absolutely. - Good.

*Run! Run!

*Detonation

- Mr. Fages,

It's you and Mr. Lavallée

that we see shooting at Mr. Girard?

- Yes.

- Did your shot hit Mr. Girard?

- I don't know.

- In the video, you can see although it is impacted.

- Yes.

- He was injured in the head.

- I didn't aim for the head. That's not allowed.

- What is the distance

What separates you from Mr. Girard?

- I would say 20 meters.

- It's 14 meters.

At this distance, the margin of error The LBD 40 is 4 cm.

One of you aimed for the head.

- Our defense ball launchers,

Perhaps they were malfunctioning.

That would explain everything.

- You have completed

numerous shots,

You would have noticed it before.

- Perhaps a problem with the ammunition.

I didn't aim for the head.

- There's no proof that it was the shot

from my client who contacted Mr. Girard.

- What did you do when

Did the protester fall to the ground?

- I don't remember.

- Make an effort.

He sighs.

Very well. I'll show you.

the rest of the video.

*Police siren

Can you describe me?

What do you see?

I'm listening to you.

- Is...

I make a movement to free myself.

The individual tries to grab me

the leg, to make me fall.

- Mr. Girard tries

to grab your leg?

- In the images, We can't see very well.

- On the contrary, it seems to me

which we can see very clearly.

- That's easy to say.

I sensed that he was going to

grab my leg.

- Mr. Girard is prostrate on the ground.

He makes no move.

You kick him,

while he is on the ground

and visibly injured.

- In my opinion, he's not injured.

Simply unbalanced, because

hit in the torso by our shots.

He's holding his head

and can't get up.

It is necessary to check

if the person affected

I look like a projectile

shows no lesions.

- In my opinion, he's not injured.

He didn't shout. I didn't see any blood.

If he were injured, I would have come to his aid.

- Kiai!

Applause

- Has he already passed by?

- Not yet.

- War!

- You put the BRI guys in

In police custody? Is that true?

- Shall we talk about it now?

- Is that true or not?

- It's a decision by the prosecutor's office.

- Is this your investigation, yes or no? - Yes.

- The BRI? Did you see what they

What happened at the Bataclan?

- Yes - They are heroes.

They are risking their lives

while you investigate

behind your small desks.

It's shameful.

- Change the record. I hear

This refrain all day long.

- You should be asking yourself some questions? - Do they ask themselves these questions?

The BIS behaves like cowboys.

- Des cow-boys ?

It wasn't them

who invented the Wild West.

You've all gone crazy.

You give more credit

to the thugs as well as to the BRI.

- Are you familiar with the case?

- The main witness

Was he convicted of violence?

- Stop parroting,

even if you sleep

with the unions.

- Don't involve Noélie in this.

- KIAI!

Applause

- Naël ! Gaspard !

- Victor is afraid to say

that we are police officers.

- You too!

- The father of one of his friends

asked me where I taught.

I didn't understand right away.

"You are a sports teacher.

"I teach French."

I didn't even dare to correct it.

- Kiai!

He is ashamed to say

that I'm a cop.

What kind of world do we live in?

You are fueling hatred.

of the police.

I'm just doing my job.

as I have always done.

- You weren't the same in the drug squad.

- If you had applied to the IGPN,

I would have stayed in the narcotics division.

You were happy that one of us two

takes care of Victor.

I liked drugs.

Yes, I'm investigating colleagues.

I'm not thrilled about it.

If they do a shitty job,

They take responsibility.

- You can't put yourself

In their place?

- That's all I do.

By constantly making excuses,

and to cave in to the unions,

all serious cops will

be swept away by the police,

Only the assholes will remain.

Applause

- Nilay and Victor!

- Heian Nidan!

- KIAI!

*It's been months

that the government is asking to the police officers risking their lives

facing thugs who are destroying the Republic.

Our colleagues are facing situations

which are close to chaos and of the insurrection.

And today, we learn that our colleagues from the BRI,

the BRI, whose courage This is no longer in doubt.

are placed in police custody. like criminals.

This decision will not contribute

to soothe the discomfort which is already rampant within our ranks.

I'm telling you, The police are disgusted.

The government needs understand

that we are close from a breaking point.

And when we are no longer here,

There won't be anyone left. to protect the Republic.

Lively discussions

Tension music

- What's going on here?

- The custody period has just ended.

Can someone explain this to me?

- The top brass have arrived.

They are waiting for you in the meeting room.

Applause

- I called the prosecutor's office to lift the custody order,

And they followed me.

Let's avoid the unions' discontent.

while a lot is being asked

to the workforce.

- Mr. Fages and Mr. Lavallée They lied to us several times.

Mr. Fages attempted to evade to the hearing in a dilatory manner.

According to Article 78, he was justified in compelling them

to appear

by the public force.

I know the code of criminal procedure.

I understand your wish to extend police custody.

But you can to summon them again.

- That changes the balance of power, And you know that very well.

A video shows us

that there is no legitimate defense

nor even a response.

- If the video is quite telling,

no need to put them in police custody.

But which of the two caused it? Mr. Girard's injury?

The pressure had to be maintained.

- The custody order has been lifted.

Advance the investigation

differently.

You appealed

to a ballistics expert?

- A scenario is scheduled for next week.

- Alright.

You will be able to move forward.

I'm going to be very clear.

We cannot put ourselves

The entire profession is against them.

This is also the viewpoint of the DGPN

and the ministry.

Suspenseful music

- The ballistics expert

concluded in agreement with the doctor

that given the similar size of the two officials,

given the close shooting angles,

and given the movement Mr. Girard's about-face,

it is impossible to determine which of the two shots

impacted Mr. Girard at the top, hurting him

and leading a temporary incapacity for work (ITT) of more than 60 days.

A fighter jet flew overhead.

Doorbell

Door opening

- Madame Girard.

- Good morning.

- I wanted to talk to you. Even though I don't have the right.

May I come in?

The preliminary investigation is closed.

Your lawyer will inform you of this.

but I wanted to tell you

to say it beforehand.

- For what ?

- To be able to give you

explanations.

The investigation helped to identify

the police officers who fired the shots.

They fired without respect

the principle of necessity

and proportionality.

Therefore, they are at fault.

But he was

impossible to determine

Which of the two shots caused the injury?

your son in charge.

- It has to be one of the two.

They will charge both of them.

- Non.

- I don't understand.

- There were two simultaneous shots,

but only one touched Guillaume.

Ballistics expertise

were unable to determine

which had reached his head.

- Mmm...

They both fired.

They are both responsible.

- Legally,

It's more complicated than that.

- No one is punished

because we don't know which one touched him.

- I understand

that it may be difficult to hear.

But Guillaume will suffer lasting effects.

his whole life.

They ruined his life.

And no one will be punished?

- The policeman who threw a punch The man on foot will have to answer for violence.

not having resulted in ITT.

- No interruption

work?

- Yes.

- And their leaders?

And to the good of those responsible

anyway.

- There was no order

considered illegitimate.

The prefecture asked the police

to contain the protesters violent.

- But William was not violent. - I know.

- And that changes nothing?

- Non.

- I don't understand

Why did you come?

I wanted to tell you

that I did my best...

to establish the truth.

You did your job well.

But what is the purpose of your work?

What is it used for?

Sad music

She knocks on the door.

- You wanted to see me? - Yes.

Close the door. Please.

THANKS.

I have a problem.

- Yes ?

You should have told me that

You know the Girard family.

- I don't know them.

- You have a family connection with them.

No. We are originally from

From the same city, that's all.

I didn't know them

before working on this case.

Are you sure? Saint-Dizier is a small town.

- It's not a village either.

- You had no connection with them?

- His mother took care of it from my mother as a caregiver.

But I didn't know that.

at the beginning of the investigation.

- That's what I call a link.

- If you wish.

But that did not influence the investigation.

- Am I supposed to believe you?

- I concentrated based on the evidence.

The mistakes made The actions of these police officers are serious.

- It doesn't matter. You have a link

with the Girard family,

And that created a bias.

- A bias? - Yes.

There are principles of impartiality and equality before the law.

If we don't respect them, There is no longer any justice.

From a professional standpoint, That poses a problem.

Even subconsciously, it played a role.

based on your perception of the case.

That influenced your choices.

you had more empathy for the plaintiff.

If only to come from the same

The small town probably played a part.

It's human nature.

- You're right. It's human nature.

That probably changed my approach.

If I didn't come from the same "village",

if this link had not existed, as you say,

I probably would have given up the investigation earlier.

I probably wouldn't have found it the incriminating video.

I would have been satisfied of two contradictory versions.

I would probably have believed it less the victim and his family,

and probably more accepted The police version.

You are right, I was born in Saint-Dizier,

and Guillaume Girard's mother did indeed cross paths with mine.

But I am a police officer for the past 20 years,

My son's father is a police officer. My colleagues are police officers.

I'm investigating some colleagues.

I know their lives, the lack of consideration

when it's not contempt that they endure,

the difficulties what does maintaining order entail?

complexity and the thanklessness of work.

But isn't that a bias?

It's a matter of perspective.

If other points of view They are hostile, what do we do?

How do we stay together?

I don't know anymore.

I was born in Saint-Dizier, like the Girard family.

And I'm a cop, like the guys who shot Girard's son.

I am both.

And I hope I am too other things.

A serious investigator...

a good friend...

a not-too-bad mother.

So.

- I understand, in a way,

You are right.

Taking things too personally,

And we make mistakes.

- From when

Are we taking things too personally?

- If there is a trial,

the defense might have caught wind

from this link.

She could use it

to discredit the investigation.

And beyond that, all the work

the IGPN would be affected.

That wasn't a good idea.

You were supposed to tell me about it.

- To entrust the investigation

to someone else,

Who wouldn't have taken that?

too much to heart.

Don't take it like that.

It's pointless.

I don't know if the victim

will file a civil suit

But if there is a sequel,

You will not follow the case.

We must be absolutely exemplary

on ethics.

I arranged things so I could avoid you

an administrative inquiry.

You have nothing to fear

on that side.

- An administrative inquiry? - Yes.

- Could I be sanctioned?

- You will not be.

I guarantee it.

Are you serious?

She laughed.

- Why are you laughing?

- I watch videos.

*Growling

She laughed.

*Growling

Laugh.

- Are you okay, Mom?

- Yes, yes, everything is fine.

Festive music

- Good morning.

My name is Guillaume Girard.

One year ago,

Police officers shot at me with their LBDs.

One of the shots hit me in the head

and crushed my skull.

I stayed in the hospital for a long time.

I couldn't speak for several weeks.

I had to relearn everything with speech therapy.

Doctors say that

My brain will remain damaged.

I can no longer concentrate.

I can't think straight anymore.

I forget everything.

I have migraines.

Sometimes I get on edge.

who give up.

I become aggressive.

I've become a burden...

for my mother.

I don't understand why The police shot at me.

They say I was going to launch something,

But that's not true. They are lying.

I didn't do anything.

I think about them all the time.

I'm trying not to hate them.

I'm trying to stay positive.

It's not easy.
