No enigma. 629 00:29:13,110 --> 00:29:14,430 Why did you read the whole thing? 630 00:29:14,430 --> 00:29:16,340 If there was no mystery to solve? 631 00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:17,950 Because there was one. 632 00:29:19,630 --> 00:29:22,770 I wanted to understand why Henry Francoeur had written this kind of book. 633 00:29:22,790 --> 00:29:25,900 It was so different from the ones he wrote under the name of Eric Ernest. 634 00:29:26,260 --> 00:29:27,550 Wait, you lost me. 635 00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:30,560 Adam’s Mountain was written by Lamarque. 636 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,890 No. It is indisputable. 637 00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:33,270 It has the same writing patterns 638 00:29:33,270 --> 00:29:35,250 and the syntactical structure is identical. 639 00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:36,820 It is like a fingerprint. 640 00:29:37,100 --> 00:29:39,280 On the cover, it reads Lamarck, 641 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,620 but Adam’s Mountain 642 00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:41,910 was written 643 00:29:42,150 --> 00:29:43,530 by Henry Francoeur. 644 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,420 I still do not understand how it is considered as a motive. 645 00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:52,160 But it does Astrid, it does. Francoeur wrote dime-store novels at lightning speed. 646 00:29:52,330 --> 00:29:55,220 When he decided to publish his first serious book, 647 00:29:55,220 --> 00:29:57,220 publishers probably laughed right in his face. 648 00:29:57,220 --> 00:29:59,580 For them, he was Erik Ernest, a low-grade writer. 649 00:29:59,620 --> 00:30:01,980 He would have asked Mark to be his pseudonym. 650 00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:04,600 Maybe to mock literary circles. 651 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,600 Like Romain Gary did with his nephew, 652 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,670 Paul Palvovitch, who he asked to publish under the name Emile Ajar. 653 00:30:09,670 --> 00:30:14,470 Except we can assume that when Francoeur wanted to come clean, 654 00:30:14,470 --> 00:30:19,090 Lamarck had gotten used to be this great author and he didn’t want it to stop. 655 00:30:19,090 --> 00:30:21,930 He would have killed him to keep this secret hidden 656 00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:25,800 and keep on peacefully enjoying the success. 657 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,490 - It adds up, doesn’t it? - It’s missing a few things to back up this hypothesis. 658 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,050 Astrid, not that I want to doubt your analysis but the Comissaire will want concrete proof. 659 00:30:35,050 --> 00:30:39,270 Not just two similar writings. - Identical. Identical writings. 660 00:30:39,530 --> 00:30:42,470 - Ah, there we go! Thanks Arthur. - What is it? 661 00:30:42,650 --> 00:30:44,690 I’m looking at something that you’re going to like. 662 00:30:45,090 --> 00:30:48,470 Lamarck’s offshore bank account where his publishing company transfer him his royalties. 663 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:50,470 An offshore account? Like Francoeur? 664 00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:52,470 Even better. The same offshore account. 665 00:30:58,730 --> 00:31:01,490 Henry brought up his plan to me two years ago, I couldn’t refuse. 666 00:31:02,330 --> 00:31:07,580 - Why? Money? - Not only, I did it for him. 667 00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:09,180 What do you mean? 668 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,200 He had been writing under the pseudo Eric Ernest for years. 669 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,050 When he wrote a more personal book, nobody wanted to buy it. 670 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:17,850 So he came up with an idea: to publish it under my name. 671 00:31:17,850 --> 00:31:22,070 And it became a classic. 5 literary prizes. 672 00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:23,760 That I had already guessed. 673 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,620 What I want to know is what happened when he wanted to come clean. 674 00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:29,620 He didn’t want to. You don’t understand. 675 00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:32,470 The only thing that mattered to him was writing. 676 00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:34,470 He lived like a hermit. 677 00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:38,600 - That doesn’t stop one from wanting the recognition one deserves. - He didn’t care about recognition. 678 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,600 Not at all. It was even part of the deal. 679 00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:42,510 The dinner parties, the honors, the low bows… those were for me. 680 00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:45,980 He just wanted to write, to be alone. Writing was his life. 681 00:31:46,110 --> 00:31:48,650 Think about it, I had no reason to kill him. 682 00:31:48,650 --> 00:31:51,850 He gave me glory and recognition… he paid me well for this. 683 00:31:53,270 --> 00:31:57,090 Today, I have nothing. I never wrote a sentence. 684 00:32:00,070 --> 00:32:01,270 I’m screwed. 685 00:32:08,110 --> 00:32:11,850 Moncenis. That was your landlord during the fire. 686 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,070 What happened exactly? 687 00:32:14,070 --> 00:32:18,200 Francis De Moncenis. A shithead. 688 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,310 He bothered all the female seasonal workers who lived there. - You mean? 689 00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:25,580 He had wandering hands, when it was not worst. 690 00:32:26,420 --> 00:32:29,400 I don’t know what he did to Sophie but she wanted to press charges against him. 691 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,800 But it was the 80’s, there was no “me too” movement. 692 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,800 And everything stopped with the fire? 693 00:32:36,110 --> 00:32:37,050 Yes. 694 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:45,130 Well, at first Henry wanted to initiate a legal procedure in the memory of Sophie. 695 00:32:45,670 --> 00:32:47,980 He was crushed, at his wit’s end. 696 00:32:49,090 --> 00:32:51,490 Moncenis was well connected. 697 00:32:52,910 --> 00:32:56,290 Time flew by and the statute of limitations came and passed by, there was nothing left to do. 698 00:32:56,290 --> 00:33:01,180 Of course, there was. Write a book to denounce. 699 00:33:01,930 --> 00:33:04,110 Henry Francoeur had just done so. 700 00:33:19,180 --> 00:33:23,930 Moncenis is in the database. Numerous cases for harassment, but they were all dismissed. 701 00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:25,930 That fire came at the right time for Moncenis, didn’t it? 702 00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:28,160 Sophie Nobel was about to press charges against him. 703 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,020 Where are you going with this? 704 00:33:30,020 --> 00:33:33,450 Look, Francoeur was killed while in the middle of writing a book 705 00:33:33,450 --> 00:33:35,760 about the fire in which Sophie Nobel perished. 706 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,420 It’s hard to not see a link. - You’re overstating. 707 00:33:38,420 --> 00:33:40,420 We need proof before accusing people like this. 708 00:33:40,420 --> 00:33:42,910 You want proof? I’m gonna find you evidence. 709 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,090 Yes, come in. 710 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:07,090 Oh, what do you want? I did something wrong? I missed something? I flunked the operational mode? 711 00:34:07,090 --> 00:34:08,330 I do not know. 712 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,180 I would like to ask for your help. 713 00:34:17,050 --> 00:34:21,310 So, I was able to reach Sophie Nobel’s parents. Henry Francoeur contacted them a month ago. 714 00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:24,730 - Why did he call them? - He asked them plenty of questions about their daughter. 715 00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:26,910 He allegedly wanted to set the record straight about her death. 716 00:34:26,910 --> 00:34:28,200 Am I still overstating now? 717 00:34:28,730 --> 00:34:31,850 Henry Francoeur investigated this and he wanted to make a book out of it. 718 00:34:31,850 --> 00:34:36,650 - What could he have dug up 30 years later? - Maybe the fact that Sophie Nobel was assassinated. 719 00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:39,670 Miss Nielsen came to see me with her research. 720 00:34:39,670 --> 00:34:43,220 The intervention report has nothing to do with an official criminal report. 721 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,560 There is a body of consistent evidence that indicates that Sophie Nobel was already dead when the fire started. 722 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,310 - Okay, that changes everything. - There. 723 00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:59,980 I think Francoeur was writing a book about the truth about what happened 30 years ago. 724 00:35:00,110 --> 00:35:03,850 A truth that accuses Moncenis of murdering Sophie Nobel. 725 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,020 We sent a team at the victim’s. The concierge recognized Moncenis’ picture right away. 726 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,330 He was in the building a few days ago. 727 00:35:10,330 --> 00:35:12,160 He would have killed Francoeur to keep him quiet? 728 00:35:12,330 --> 00:35:16,910 - And to steal his tapuscript. Except that page 96 was forgotten at the crime scene. 729 00:35:17,090 --> 00:35:18,510 Moncenis didn’t realize that. 730 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,470 Okay. And why would Francoeur wait so much time to write this testimony? 731 00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:24,600 Because he only became aware of the truth recently. 732 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,470 I don’t know what tipped him off but he led a real investigation. 733 00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:32,690 We contacted the Bourg d’Oisans fire department to know if Francoeur had gotten in touch with them. 734 00:35:32,690 --> 00:35:36,780 A month ago, he filed a request to read the intervention report from the night of the fire. 735 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,670 He must have drawn the same conclusion as Astrid and Fournier. 736 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:41,670 That makes sense. Did you locate Moncenis? 737 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,490 I spoke with a colleague from the Savoy region. 738 00:35:43,490 --> 00:35:46,780 Moncenis’ wife said he left for Paris yesterday 739 00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:48,160 and she hasn’t heard from him since then. 740 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,160 Okay, look for his phone, his credit card… That guy didn’t vanish into thin air. 741 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,470 I’ll keep you updated. Thank you, Astrid. 742 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,580 Yes, goodbye. There. 743 00:36:38,020 --> 00:36:38,600 Yes? 744 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,270 I still don’t understand the point of sharing personal information outside of their context 745 00:36:43,270 --> 00:36:46,820 but I am willing to try and adapt to your neurotypical features. 746 00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:50,960 So. My interest for puzzles dates back to my mother’s departure. 747 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,160 When she left home, she left one item behind her. One single item that my father kept. 748 00:37:37,930 --> 00:37:40,600 You were really hoping to find an answer inside this box? 749 00:37:41,220 --> 00:37:43,800 I did find an answer inside this box. 750 00:37:44,110 --> 00:37:45,580 It was empty. 751 00:37:47,130 --> 00:37:49,270 There was no reason to my mother’s departure. 752 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,200 She left, that was all. 753 00:37:54,690 --> 00:37:58,070 Astrid, I really have to tell you something of the uttermost importance. 754 00:38:08,070 --> 00:38:09,180 Yes, Nicolas? 755 00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:11,670 Raph, we spotted Moncenis. 756 00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:14,160 He’s in a hotel room in Montmartre. Come on guys, let’s go! 757 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:50,730 It’s going to be hard to interrogate him. Damn. 758 00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:03,090 KCN. It was still inside Monceni’s hand. 759 00:39:03,310 --> 00:39:04,560 It comes from Eastern Europe. 760 00:39:05,180 --> 00:39:08,250 You can find that filth easily if you know how to navigate the dark web. 761 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,420 He killed himself with the poison that was used to kill Francoeur. 762 00:39:12,420 --> 00:39:15,310 Hey! I found Francoeur’s tapuscript. 763 00:39:16,690 --> 00:39:18,380 And page 96 is missing. 764 00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:20,870 It looks like a real defense speech against Moncenis. 765 00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:23,890 He would have killed Sophie and used fire to cover up his tracks. 766 00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:27,930 Well there. The puzzle is now complete. You must be happy, Astrid. 767 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:29,930 What’s wrong? 768 00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:31,670 I do not know. But something is not working right. 769 00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:34,290 The pieces of the puzzle do not fit perfectly together. 770 00:39:34,870 --> 00:39:36,690 He kept his socks. 771 00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:44,330 The concert with dad was crazy. 772 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,930 You don’t like Skcus, maybe? 773 00:39:46,650 --> 00:39:50,290 Skcus? It’s metal, it’s not for your age. 774 00:39:50,290 --> 00:39:52,290 And I found their music a bit old-fashioned. 775 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,730 And it sucks. 776 00:39:55,530 --> 00:39:59,310 Stop! You can’t say that. I know you have all of their albums. 777 00:39:59,530 --> 00:40:02,820 You wouldn’t be jealous, would you? - No. Look, it sucks. 778 00:40:02,820 --> 00:40:04,820 Look. It’s written here, sucks. 779 00:40:05,130 --> 00:40:07,220 Oh, I had never seen that! It’s crazy. 780 00:40:07,710 --> 00:40:10,380 It’s an ambigram, we can read it from both sides. 781 00:40:11,310 --> 00:40:14,200 That’s crazy. - An ambigram… 782 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,200 Well, damn. 783 00:40:17,450 --> 00:40:18,960 You’re a genius! 784 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,020 I’m calling the neighbor. I’m probably going to come back home late tonight. 785 00:40:23,090 --> 00:40:26,380 - Thanks. - Sorry, baby. Everyone gets a turn. 786 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:32,510 Well, does anybody want to share something? 787 00:40:32,910 --> 00:40:36,380 Me. I got a new job. 788 00:40:36,380 --> 00:40:38,070 - Ah, you changed company? - No, 789 00:40:38,070 --> 00:40:41,050 I’m still working at the same place but I’m not in maintenance anymore. 790 00:40:41,050 --> 00:40:44,290 Thanks to all of you, I managed to talk to a colleague and 791 00:40:44,730 --> 00:40:48,020 I was hired in IT. - Congrats, Max! 792 00:40:48,020 --> 00:40:49,000 We’re all very, very- 793 00:40:52,730 --> 00:40:55,270 Raphaëlle, good evening. - Good evening. 794 00:40:56,110 --> 00:40:59,450 I’m really sorry, I don’t mean to bother you. - Take a seat. 795 00:40:59,580 --> 00:41:04,110 Thank you. I came to see Astrid, but it can wait. Actually, no, it can’t wait. 796 00:41:04,110 --> 00:41:05,670 Astrid, you’re free to go if you wish to. 797 00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:08,070 It was not planned. 798 00:41:08,290 --> 00:41:11,930 Yes, I know Astrid but… It’s an emergency. 799 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:17,490 Look, I can’t talk about it here 800 00:41:18,690 --> 00:41:24,510 but I wonder if we don’t have the story backwards from the beginning. Who you know is maybe not who we think he is. 801 00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:30,650 Wait, you think it’s Alain Lamarck and not Henry Francoeur hiding behind the pseudo Eric Ernest? 802 00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:36,380 I talked about the investigation with the group members. 803 00:41:36,380 --> 00:41:39,530 I am sorry, it is against regulations. It is totally against regulations. 804 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,180 - That’s the least you could say. You astound me, Astrid. - Me too, I astound myself. 805 00:41:44,250 --> 00:41:47,360 I do not know if you have a good influence on me, Commander Coste. 806 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,620 Ah, we’ll talk about it later. 807 00:41:51,620 --> 00:41:53,050 Right now, we have to go to Lamarck’s. 808 00:41:53,050 --> 00:41:55,050 I think he’s playing us. 809 00:41:55,050 --> 00:41:56,820 And what if he was the one who wrote everything from the start? 810 00:41:57,220 --> 00:42:00,110 And if it was Francoeur, the straw man? It’s possible, isn’t it? 811 00:42:00,380 --> 00:42:01,580 Technically, yes. 812 00:42:01,580 --> 00:42:05,890 I recognized that it was the same writing, but it can work both ways. 813 00:42:06,330 --> 00:42:07,450 An ambigram? 814 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,270 - Not exactly, no. - You lost me there. 815 00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:15,130 But yes! Lamarck writes precise novels that aren’t very lucrative 816 00:42:15,130 --> 00:42:19,400 but he could very much also be hiding behind the pseudo Eric Ernest to write mystery novels. 817 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,690 And to save faces, he asked his friend Francoeur to take on the part. 818 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,180 Yes. Of course, all of this stays between us, don’t we all agree? 819 00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:28,560 Be without worry, Raphaëlle. 820 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,580 A secret couldn’t be better kept than in an autist’s hands. 821 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,200 Provided you specify that it is indeed, one. 822 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,850 Because sometimes, with neurotypical people, it’s not very clear. 823 00:42:38,420 --> 00:42:41,620 Okay. Then, this is a secret, 824 00:42:41,620 --> 00:42:44,510 very, very, secret, alright? 825 00:42:45,270 --> 00:42:45,980 There you go. 826 00:42:46,420 --> 00:42:49,360 Um, Astrid. We need to go right away because 827 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,780 we only have a small window left to legally interrogate him before it’s too late. 828 00:42:52,780 --> 00:42:53,490 Let’s go? 829 00:42:54,110 --> 00:42:56,420 Are you certain to need me? 830 00:42:56,420 --> 00:42:59,490 Yes, of course I need you Astrid. You see things that I don’t. 831 00:42:59,490 --> 00:43:00,290 Ah. 832 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,360 Let’s go. Thanks. Thanks. 833 00:43:06,690 --> 00:43:08,690 - Goodbye. - Goodbye. 834 00:43:08,690 --> 00:43:09,580 Sorry. 835 00:43:14,990 --> 00:43:17,590 Commander Coste. Miss Nielsen. 836 00:43:19,130 --> 00:43:23,150 You’re here just in time for a legal visit. 837 00:43:24,190 --> 00:43:27,570 We have just under 34 minutes left. 838 00:43:29,350 --> 00:43:34,510 - 30 minutes? You better be concise. - Concise? I know you are Eric Ernest. 839 00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:36,590 - Took you some time. - You’re not denying it? 840 00:43:37,110 --> 00:43:38,710 It doesn’t make me an assassin. 841 00:43:39,540 --> 00:43:43,710 What’s in it for you? All of this staging? Making us believe Francoeur was writing your books? 842 00:43:44,540 --> 00:43:47,740 Those books sell like hotcakes. Literally, I mean. 843 00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:50,740 You can find it at the supermarket, between baby wipes and appetizers. 844 00:43:50,740 --> 00:43:53,890 - So what? - So, with such a success, 845 00:43:53,940 --> 00:43:55,510 you can imagine that it arouses curiosity. 846 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,690 Everybody wanted to know who was Eric Ernest. - It couldn’t be you, of course. 847 00:43:59,690 --> 00:44:01,140 Of course not. 848 00:44:02,090 --> 00:44:06,830 Henry was the perfect candidate. Discreet, invisible, always locked inside his home. 849 00:44:06,830 --> 00:44:08,830 A hermit. 850 00:44:09,710 --> 00:44:13,710 He wasn’t about to say some nonsense during interviews or do anything stupid in your name. 851 00:44:13,890 --> 00:44:15,490 And he didn’t cost me much either. 852 00:44:15,690 --> 00:44:18,200 A great whiskey bottle every once in a while, and he was happy. 853 00:44:18,460 --> 00:44:20,340 Whiskey that you laced with cyanide. 854 00:44:20,830 --> 00:44:24,830 Careful Commander. I could get you to court for defamation. 855 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,630 Don’t touch that. 856 00:44:39,660 --> 00:44:41,340 Commander Coste. 857 00:44:43,310 --> 00:44:48,340 You can put this typewriter under seal. It is the proof of Alain Lamarck’s culpability. 858 00:44:56,820 --> 00:45:01,290 I knew right away that something was off with the tapuscript we found next to Francis De Moncenis’s body 859 00:45:01,420 --> 00:45:02,890 but I did not know what it was. 860 00:45:03,110 --> 00:45:06,140 And it is when I saw Alain Lamarck’s typewriter that everything fell into place. 861 00:45:06,140 --> 00:45:08,770 There is a defect on the letter E on page 96. 862 00:45:08,940 --> 00:45:12,370 It is a little like a fingerprint from the typewriter used to type it. 863 00:45:12,770 --> 00:45:17,110 - Why two tapuscripts? - The first was stolen at Francoeur’s. 864 00:45:17,290 --> 00:45:23,290 It lost page 96. The one we found in the hotel room next to Monceni’s body is a fake, 865 00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:27,950 re-written by Lamarck based on page 96 to make us believe it was the original. 866 00:45:27,950 --> 00:45:32,750 - He re-wrote a book in one night? - A hundred pages that he probably copied from the original. 867 00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:33,820 But why would he do that? 868 00:45:33,820 --> 00:45:39,620 Because Francoeur’s original depicts a whole other story of what happened 30 years ago. 869 00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:44,490 A story where Sophie Nobel’s murderer and the fire culprit isn’t Moncenis. 870 00:45:44,820 --> 00:45:46,490 But Alain Lamarck. 871 00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:48,950 What are you basing that on? 872 00:45:49,350 --> 00:45:52,750 Why else make a fake tapuscript? Because the first one was accusing him. 873 00:45:53,020 --> 00:45:55,620 Wait, Raph, that’s not enough. We’ll need a confession. 874 00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:58,090 I can get it easily. I know his weak spot. 875 00:45:58,490 --> 00:45:59,890 What is it? Pride? 876 00:46:00,550 --> 00:46:02,350 Sophie Nobel. 877 00:46:03,350 --> 00:46:06,220 The great love from the legend. There. 878 00:46:08,890 --> 00:46:11,890 I read your book, you know. Adam’s mountain. 879 00:46:12,350 --> 00:46:16,020 A story about a passionate and unrequited love that drives a man to madness. 880 00:46:16,150 --> 00:46:20,090 - Did you like it? - Not very much, to be honest. 881 00:46:20,090 --> 00:46:22,890 And Henry Francoeur probably didn’t either. 882 00:46:22,890 --> 00:46:27,290 Maybe that’s what tipped him off and drove him to investigate what really happened 30 years ago. 883 00:46:27,290 --> 00:46:31,890 This picture he had all this time, he started to see it under a new light. 884 00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:34,550 He wondered if it wasn’t depicting another story. 885 00:46:34,550 --> 00:46:38,150 Your hand, like a claw onto Sophie’s shoulder. 886 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:40,090 That’s absurd. 887 00:46:41,820 --> 00:46:44,620 All we have to do is read the tapuscript we found next to Monceni’s body 888 00:46:44,620 --> 00:46:47,490 and to replace his name by yours to understand what happened. 889 00:46:47,750 --> 00:46:49,220 I don’t know what you’re talking about. 890 00:46:49,490 --> 00:46:52,150 I’m talking about the fact that you killed Sophie Nobel. 891 00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:55,090 And to cover your murder up, you set the cabin on fire. 892 00:46:55,090 --> 00:47:00,820 Your victim’s body carbonized, your rival hurt and disfigured… The perfect crime. 893 00:47:01,150 --> 00:47:03,420 You were never worried about that 894 00:47:03,890 --> 00:47:07,420 and you kept Henry Francoeur under your grip until he found out 895 00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:10,290 the truth and decided to write a book about it and to publish it. 896 00:47:10,550 --> 00:47:13,820 That’s a good story. You should write mystery novels, Commander. 897 00:47:14,020 --> 00:47:16,090 You already lost the game, Mister Lamarck. 898 00:47:18,290 --> 00:47:24,890 It’s going to be hard to explain how a tapuscript typed with your typewriter turned up at a murder scene. 899 00:47:25,550 --> 00:47:28,350 - Sophie Nobel, you loved her, didn’t you? - Yes. 900 00:47:29,820 --> 00:47:34,090 I loved her like we all love at that age. We think it’s forever. 901 00:47:34,690 --> 00:47:37,090 But she loved Henry Francoeur. 902 00:47:38,090 --> 00:47:41,150 So you took by force what she refused to give you. 903 00:47:41,620 --> 00:47:46,550 You raped her and you murdered her so she would shut up. 904 00:47:48,490 --> 00:47:50,820 Something eludes me. 905 00:47:50,820 --> 00:47:54,750 How did you know Henry Francoeur was writing a book against you? 906 00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:59,420 That’s quite eccentric. I eat regularly with Paname publisher in chief. 907 00:47:59,690 --> 00:48:03,290 Right away, he told me about it, way too proud to hold his tongue. 908 00:48:03,290 --> 00:48:05,690 He had paid a fortune for Eric Ernest’s next book. 909 00:48:05,690 --> 00:48:07,690 You’d think of course I was surprised! 910 00:48:07,690 --> 00:48:09,690 I’m Eric Ernest. 911 00:48:09,690 --> 00:48:14,150 You stole the manuscript, but you forgot page 96 on the scene. 912 00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:16,150 Without this page, we would never have gone back to you. 913 00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:20,620 That’s the difference with your mystery novels. You don’t control every aspect. 914 00:48:20,620 --> 00:48:23,620 Yes, I confess I was upset. 915 00:48:23,620 --> 00:48:28,490 After your first visit, I checked into the manuscript and indeed, page 96 was missing. 916 00:48:29,950 --> 00:48:33,290 My plan was at risk of failing because of a careless mistake. 917 00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:37,620 I found a solution, I had to make stuff up, to improvise. Surprise the reader. 918 00:48:37,620 --> 00:48:41,490 That’s when you thought of accusing Moncenis instead of you. 919 00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:46,090 Exactly. We can’t hide anything from you. 920 00:48:47,290 --> 00:48:51,020 I typed the manuscript during the night, changing the details accusing me 921 00:48:51,020 --> 00:48:55,020 and improving Henry’s disastrous style of course! There was work to do. 922 00:48:55,820 --> 00:48:57,620 The rest was a child’s play, 923 00:48:57,620 --> 00:49:00,750 making Moncenis come to Paris telling him Henry was going to accuse him. 924 00:49:00,750 --> 00:49:03,550 Making him drink the cyanide and wipe off everything, 925 00:49:03,550 --> 00:49:07,290 all traces off the crime scene. The work abc’s. 926 00:49:08,820 --> 00:49:11,550 The next Eric Ernest will be my biggest success, 927 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,420 based on true facts, written by a murderer. 928 00:49:16,220 --> 00:49:17,950 People will pounce on it. 929 00:49:18,570 --> 00:49:21,690 You and your colleague who is a little… 930 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,930 are going to become incredible mystery novel characters, 931 00:49:25,860 --> 00:49:27,200 sensational, 932 00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:28,660 stars. 933 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,440 You’re freaking crazy 934 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,930 and you’re going to spend the rest of your life in jail. 935 00:49:39,730 --> 00:49:42,970 Do you think we are mystery novel characters? 936 00:49:42,970 --> 00:49:46,260 Of course not! Lamarck’s a megalomaniac. 937 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,890 Yesterday evening, you said you had something important to tell me. 938 00:49:52,570 --> 00:49:53,910 Yes. 939 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,860 I found your mother, Astrid. 940 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,370 Ah, that was it. 941 00:50:02,570 --> 00:50:05,330 I was scared, I thought it was something important. 942 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,260 It is pretty important. 943 00:50:08,260 --> 00:50:12,400 No. At least, I - I do not think so. 944 00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:18,130 Okay. I get it. You blame her, 945 00:50:18,130 --> 00:50:20,440 it’s very understandable, it’s a very natural reaction. 946 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,800 No, I cannot blame her because I never knew her. 947 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,400 Precisely. Don’t you want to get to know her? 948 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:31,600 To know why she left?
