00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:01,830
Mr. Francoeur?


2
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:31,840
Hello!


3
00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:33,790
How are you?


4
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,790
Hi guys!


5
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:36,840
What’s up?


6
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:39,580
Hello, Arthur!


7
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:41,070
Hello, Commander.


8
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:46,340
You still haven’t told her?


9
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:47,810
Uh?


10
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,230
Astrid?


11
00:01:49,490 --> 00:01:50,740
That you found her mother.


12
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:53,470
<font color="


13
00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:56,150
Honestly, I think it’s
the right thing to do, but I…


14
00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:57,190
You don’t want
to meddle with it,


15
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,420
and you’re right.


16
00:01:59,170 --> 00:02:01,670
Astrid has great difficulties dealing with
emotions and the unexpected.


17
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:03,120
So I don’t know how she'd react to this.


18
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:05,810
And who am I to interfere
in her life like this?


19
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:07,330
I don’t know.


20
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,550
Her friend?


21
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:21,000
Yes, honey?


22
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:22,080
What?


23
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:24,530
You want to stay with Dad tonight?


24
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:25,810
But it’s our night…


25
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:27,410
A concert?


26
00:02:27,590 --> 00:02:28,440
Who’s playing?


27
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,520
No, it doesn’t bother me hun,
you should go.


28
00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:35,090
<font color="


29
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:36,240
have fun.


30
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,340
Love you.
Big kisses.


31
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,140
Hello, Commissioner.


32
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:48,430
Some good news, I hope?
I’m not in the mood right now.


33
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:52,480
Yes, I’m coming.


34
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:05,990
The entire lab is on this case.
We’ll be on our way in 15 minutes tops.


35
00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:07,340
Excuse me.


36
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:08,420
<font color="


37
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:10,100
Ah, Commissioner!


38
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:11,950
So far from your office,


39
00:03:12,190 --> 00:03:13,700
it must be really important.


40
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,020
It’s a suicide, but it’s a celebrity,
so it must be handled quickly.


41
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:20,040
You know me,
I’m not one to nitpick.


42
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:21,650
So?


43
00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:22,740
Who’s our VIP?


44
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:25,220
- Henry Francoeur.
- Doesn’t ring a bell.


45
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:27,640
Henry Francoeur.
Born October 2nd, 1970,


46
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,480
better known under
the pseudonym Eric Ernest,


47
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,520
crime novelist.


48
00:03:31,660 --> 00:03:33,020
Yes, I know him by name.


49
00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:35,430
<i>I didn’t know what
he looked like though.</i>


50
00:03:36,130 --> 00:03:37,550
Yes, he was a bit of recluse,


51
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,140
but a successful one.


52
00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:41,640
<font color="
all smashing successes.


53
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,680
Hated by the critics,
loved by the readers.


54
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,860
Isn’t it odd to commit suicide
when you’re so successful?


55
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:49,180
Coste, don’t start.


56
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,960
The flat was locked from the inside,
with two bolts. It’s a suicide.


57
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:55,460
Period. We write a report, we classify
and we move on, okay?

00:03:58,710 --> 00:04:00,280
Page 96.


59
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,030
<i>Yeah.</i>


60
00:04:05,070 --> 00:04:07,410
No wonder we never saw
any pictures of him.


61
00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:09,760
<i>There are traces of blood near the mouth,</i>


62
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,970
<i>the lips and the nails
have turned purplish.</i>


63
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:14,070
<i>There is a body of consistent evidence
indicating that this man</i>


64
00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:15,910
was poisoned with potassium cyanide.
</font>

65
00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:18,350
<i>The lab was at top speed on this one.</i>


66
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,840
Your guy was poisoned with KCN.


67
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:23,840
Also known as potassium cyanide.


68
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,620
Exactly.


69
00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:26,610
We found some in his bloodstream and
there were traces


70
00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:28,110
in the glass next to the body.


71
00:04:28,270 --> 00:04:30,110
The victim mixed it with whiskey.


72
00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:32,530
<font color="
there was enough to kill a bull.


73
00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:33,510
Commander?


74
00:04:34,050 --> 00:04:35,960
The guy who found
the body is in the kitchen.


75
00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:37,830
<i>He’s the concierge,
he’s a little bit in shock.</i>


76
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:39,500
Coming with me, Astrid?


77
00:04:40,690 --> 00:04:43,270
I would like to clarify
a point with Dr. Fournier.


78
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,210
Go easy on him.


79
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:48,680
<font color="


80
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,910
I am even being instructive with him.


81
00:04:50,910 --> 00:04:53,650
Yes, but sometimes,
without meaning to,


82
00:04:53,650 --> 00:04:56,050
you… belittle him a little.


83
00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:58,020
- Ah!
- Be careful.


84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,170
So, you found poison in the glass.


85
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,510
Uh, yes, I did.


86
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,770
- Like I just told you.
- Okay.


87
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:15,520
<font color="


88
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,060
I don’t know.
Why?


89
00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:20,980
Because if there was poison in the glass
but not in the bottle,


90
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,910
that means that it was
poured directly into the glass.


91
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:24,780
Uh, well, yes.
That’s obvious.


92
00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:28,120
Could you be clearer instead of
beating around the bush?


93
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:29,940
<font color="


94
00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:31,670
so that you do not feel belittled.


95
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,600
Uh, thanks.


96
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:34,720
You are welcome.


97
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:35,910
Ok.


98
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,740
Let’s hear
what you’re thinking.


99
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,590
If there was poison in the glass
but not in the bottle,


100
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,940
that means that it was
poured directly into the glass.
</font>

101
00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:43,750
Therefore,


102
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:45,910
you should have found
the poison container.


103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,010
Did you find
the poison container, Dr. Fournier?


104
00:05:57,460 --> 00:05:59,160
Hello, Laurent?
It’s Fournier.


105
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:01,440
Was there any KNC in the bottle or not?


106
00:06:01,940 --> 00:06:03,150
Well, check. Check.


107
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Yes, I’m waiting.


108
00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:08,050
It’s uh, it’s in-


109
00:06:08,050 --> 00:06:09,310
<font color="


110
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,790
Anything else?


111
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,000
No.
Well done, Dr. Fournier.


112
00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:15,490
Thank you, I appreciate it.


113
00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:17,940
I knew right away something was off.


114
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:20,930
I tried to open,
I’m a locksmith,


115
00:06:20,930 --> 00:06:23,090
but it was locked from
the inside with two bolts.


116
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,140
Why did he lock himself up like that?
</font>

117
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:27,660
He was a weird guy,


118
00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:29,660
half-agoraphobic.


119
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:31,830
He almost never went outside.


120
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,780
Though,


121
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,110
with the scars on his face,
it’s understandable.


122
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:38,560
On top of that, he had trouble walking,
he was disabled.


123
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,410
- Do you know what happened to him?
- No.


124
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:43,060
He never mentioned it.
</font>

125
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:46,190
Did he have any visitors?


126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,040
Hardly any.


127
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,230
He even refused to have a nurse come over,
even though he was entitled to it.


128
00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:53,990
He’d rather struggle on his own than
let someone inside his home.


129
00:06:54,610 --> 00:06:56,530
Commander,
I think we have a problem.


130
00:07:00,930 --> 00:07:03,080
And you found nothing that
contained this damned poison?


131
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,140
<font color="


132
00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:06,080
The guys from the lab went through
every inch of the place.


133
00:07:06,210 --> 00:07:08,880
The poison didn’t appear
magically inside the glass.


134
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:11,810
If Francoeur had poured it himself,
we would have found the container.


135
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:14,680
Someone else must have poured it in
and left with the bottle.


136
00:07:17,650 --> 00:07:20,150
Okay, and how does did
this someone get out
</font>

137
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,980
of a flat that’s
locked from the inside?


138
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:23,550
<i>It is a locked-room mystery.</i>


139
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:26,240
It is a well-known subgenre of mystery fiction,
a classic.


140
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:27,810
<i>Except we’re not in a book.</i>


141
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:30,290
You have until tonight
to find me something concrete.


142
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:32,900
Until proven otherwise, it’s a suicide.


143
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:49,730
<font color="
they’ll join us in a bit.


144
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,090
Don’t worry, Astrid.


145
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:55,460
At this hour, it’ll be quiet.


146
00:07:55,650 --> 00:07:57,830
And Michel never plays
any music inside his bar.


147
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,160
You see?


148
00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:01,430
It’s a bit like my very own paper room.


149
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:03,150
It’s a place that helps me think.


150
00:08:03,580 --> 00:08:04,690
- How are you, Michel?
- Fine.


151
00:08:04,690 --> 00:08:05,740
Pour me the usual?


152
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:07,490
What would you like to drink, Astrid?


153
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:09,920
A glass of water.


154
00:08:10,110 --> 00:08:11,180
A glass of water.


155
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:12,460
Mineral water.


156
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:14,500
Mineral water.


157
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,330
You seem to know plenty
about crime novels.


158
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:19,720
I would rather call them mystery novels.


159
00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:22,420
<font color="


160
00:08:22,470 --> 00:08:23,980
before the protagonist


161
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:25,310
that I'm interested in.


162
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:28,400
So, forbidden love stories,


163
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840
the destinies of strong
and independent women...


164
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,380
they don’t interest you at all?


165
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,170
Not at all.


166
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,590
When I find the solution,
I close the book.


167
00:08:37,090 --> 00:08:38,310
<font color="


168
00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:41,410
I like to be on par with
the investigator when I’m playing.


169
00:08:41,780 --> 00:08:43,360
- When you’re playing?
<i>- Yes.</i>


170
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:45,430
They’re like puzzles to you?


171
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:46,370
<i>Exactly.</i>


172
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:51,430
And Eric Ernest’s cases are
particularly rigorous and complex.


173
00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:53,140
I read all of his books.


174
00:08:53,740 --> 00:08:54,510
<font color="


175
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:58,420
You’ll have to tell me where this passion
for puzzles comes from one day.


176
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:06,780
<i>You’re interested?</i>


177
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:09,030
<i>It's called a himitsu-bako,</i>


178
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,270
<i>it’s Japanese.</i>


179
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,720
It’s a box for secrets.


180
00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:17,480
To open it, you have to
do a specific set of moves.


181
00:09:17,540 --> 00:09:19,810
<font color="
Let me show you.


182
00:09:23,070 --> 00:09:24,160
You know, Astrid,


183
00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:27,750
grown-ups can spend
hours getting it to open.


184
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:30,230
- Are you sure you don’t want my help?
- I will do it on my own.


185
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:31,220
On my own.


186
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:46,000
<i>- Hello!
- Hi there.</i>


187
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:46,770
<i>Ok, so...</i>


188
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,250
I recognized the MO.
</font>

189
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,860
It’s a Dutilleul’s trick for sure.


190
00:09:52,430 --> 00:09:53,220
Dutilleul?


191
00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:54,710
Do we have a suspect?


192
00:09:54,940 --> 00:09:56,710
- Did you do some research?
- No. No, Arthur.


193
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:59,560
Dutilleul is the name of
Marcel Aymé’s “Pass-wall”.


194
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,200
<i>A guy who could walk through walls.</i>


195
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,200
<i>I mean, your story’s a bit far-fetched...</i>


196
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:07,120
<font color="
inside his home, with two bolts.</i>


197
00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:11,750
The killer could have gotten out between
the moment he poisoned his victim


198
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:13,500
and the moment the poison
started to kick in.


199
00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:14,760
Impossible.


200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,170
Potassium cyanide has
a very short latency period.


201
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:18,210
Barely a few seconds.


202
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,210
<i>There must be
a reasonable explanation.</i>


203
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:22,020
There must be
another way out of this flat.


204
00:10:22,070 --> 00:10:23,230
Impossible again.


205
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,780
I got hold of the building
and the flat blueprints,


206
00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:26,470
they match.


207
00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:29,160
No space for a fake partition
or for a secret passage.


208
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,190
Of any kind.


209
00:10:30,290 --> 00:10:32,950
In this case, the culprit could have
poured the poison into the glass


210
00:10:32,950 --> 00:10:34,640
and gotten out
before Francoeur drank it.


211
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,210
I thought about it
but it doesn’t add up.


212
00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:39,230
The concierge was making his round and
talking to tenants for a least an hour.


213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,740
He would’ve seen them.


214
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:46,750
The author John Dickson Carr
drew up a list of 7 solutions


215
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:47,940
to locked-room mysteries.
</font>

216
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,750
1:


217
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:51,940
The murder was perpetrated with the help
of a concealed mechanical device.


218
00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:54,440
We think that the victim
died in the locked room


219
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,300
but they are still alive.


220
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:55,800
<i>3:</i>


221
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,990
<i>We think it is a murder,</i>


222
00:10:57,020 --> 00:10:58,750
but it is in fact
a series of coincidences


223
00:10:58,750 --> 00:10:59,970
<font color="


224
00:11:00,470 --> 00:11:02,290
<i>- We think-</i>
- yeah, okay, we get the idea!


225
00:11:02,390 --> 00:11:04,350
- I am not finished.
<i>- Anyway, if there is a culprit,</i>


226
00:11:04,350 --> 00:11:06,500
they must have gotten
inside the flat at some point.


227
00:11:07,310 --> 00:11:10,230
Eric Ernest’s publisher, Paul Junot.


228
00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:13,660
According to the concierge, he was one of
the only person who came to see him.
</font>

229
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:15,590
We could start there.


230
00:11:16,830 --> 00:11:18,430
- Want some coffee?
- Yes.


231
00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:20,450
2 coffees, Michel, please.


232
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,610
<i>What can you tell me about him?</i>


233
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,040
Not a whole lot.


234
00:11:26,530 --> 00:11:28,950
I would stop by once a month
to deal with current affairs.


235
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,400
He never talked about his private life.


236
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,470
<font color="
these scars on his face?


237
00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:36,800
No, but I know the legend.


238
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:40,770
Rumor has it, he was
injured in a fire that killed


239
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,370
his childhood sweetheart.
It made him agoraphobic,


240
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:46,060
and it also fueled his work.


241
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,300
But, well,


242
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,180
I never knew if it was true, though.


243
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:52,180
<font color="


244
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,610
And in his day-to-day behavior,
did you notice anything...


245
00:11:57,310 --> 00:11:58,320
out of the ordinary?


246
00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:00,990
Everything was out of the ordinary with him.
He was a genius,


247
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:03,090
with all the quirks that come with it.


248
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:06,080
He wrote solely on an old typewriter.


249
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:07,710
<i>And he wrote in one go,</i>
</font>

250
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,230
<i>without any proofreading.</i>


251
00:12:09,230 --> 00:12:12,020
All his royalties were
to be transferred onto


252
00:12:12,020 --> 00:12:14,930
an offshore bank account.


253
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,710
<i>He only liked Scottish whiskey.</i>


254
00:12:16,910 --> 00:12:19,950
I once had the unfortunate idea,
I thought he would like it,


255
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:22,360
to give him a bottle of nice bourbon.


256
00:12:22,670 --> 00:12:25,780
He saw red and
he threw it in my face.


257
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:27,870
He was quite a character.


258
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:34,610
I understand
Francoeur’s pseudonym better now.


259
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:36,130
Eric Ernest?


260
00:12:36,510 --> 00:12:38,430
Eric is the name of
the phantom of the opera.


261
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,840
Ernest is a pianist
who inspired Gaston Leroux.


262
00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:44,420
He was disfigured by
a fire in an auditorium


263
00:12:44,420 --> 00:12:48,220
where a dancer he was
madly in love with perished.


264
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,230
It sounds a lot like
Francoeur’s legend.


265
00:12:51,460 --> 00:12:52,770
Still doesn’t mean it’s true.


266
00:12:53,180 --> 00:12:55,070
If it truly happened,
there should be records of it


267
00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:56,390
at the Criminal Documentation.


268
00:12:56,390 --> 00:12:57,780
There are always records.


269
00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:00,830
Not right now.


270
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,440
Fournier wants to see me and
he insists that you come with me.


271
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,020
Ah.


272
00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:07,320
What is he up to again?


273
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:15,740
Following your remark,
I wondered how the poison


274
00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:18,200
got into Francoeur’s drink.


275
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,180
So, I searched for poison traces


276
00:13:20,180 --> 00:13:22,620
on the victim’s hands and
I found some on his thumb


277
00:13:22,670 --> 00:13:23,430
and his index.


278
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:24,180
And?
</font>

279
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,200
And they must have landed there
when Francoeur was holding the bottle.


280
00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:29,780
So I’m sorry, Miss Nielsen.


281
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:31,560
<i>We may not have been able
to find the bottle,</i>


282
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:35,410
but it’s Francoeur himself
who poured the poison in his glass.


283
00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:37,270
It’s a suicide. QED.


284
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:39,990
It is not logical.


285
00:13:40,510 --> 00:13:42,620
<font color="


286
00:13:43,510 --> 00:13:45,830
But, we have proof
he had poison on his fingers.


287
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,540
Or maybe,
there just never was any container.


288
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:50,740
Impossible.


289
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:53,950
Potassium cyanide does not
present itself in a solid enough form


290
00:13:53,950 --> 00:13:55,660
to be able to be manipulated this way.


291
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,780
Ah.


292
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:01,940
<font color="


293
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:05,250
Unless someone solidified it.


294
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:06,680
Exactly.


295
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,700
Well done.


296
00:14:11,470 --> 00:14:12,500
An ice cube tray?


297
00:14:13,550 --> 00:14:15,830
You had to see me right away


298
00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:17,570
to show me an ice cube tray?


299
00:14:17,650 --> 00:14:19,030
Not any ice cube tray.


300
00:14:19,070 --> 00:14:20,930
The one in Francoeur’s freezer.


301
00:14:20,930 --> 00:14:22,830
<font color="


302
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:25,430
You’re saying he poisoned his drink


303
00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:27,350
- with an ice cube full of cyanide?
- No.


304
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,800
He didn’t know
the ice cubes were poisoned.


305
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:32,720
Henry Francoeur was murdered.


306
00:14:38,070 --> 00:14:39,810
<i>The cyanide could have been
there for weeks.</i>


307
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,840
<i>We can’t know for sure
when the assassin visited the flat.</i>


308
00:14:43,020 --> 00:14:45,250
Did you make any progress
on the offshore account?


309
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,820
Dead end.
We won’t get anything,


310
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:48,370
even with an international warrant.


311
00:14:48,590 --> 00:14:50,560
- The joys of tax havens.
- Dammit.


312
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,050
But I have something else.


313
00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:55,230
Francoeur opened an account in
a French bank two months ago.


314
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:57,120
<font color="
a very large deposit.</i>


315
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Wow,


316
00:14:58,140 --> 00:14:59,670
that much money
makes for a good motive.


317
00:15:00,190 --> 00:15:02,130
Even I could kill for this.


318
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,620
<i>And where does all of this come from?</i>


319
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,060
That's where it gets interesting.


320
00:15:06,070 --> 00:15:08,310
It’s a transfer from Paname,
an important publishing house.


321
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,430
<font color="
they transferred the money after</i>


322
00:15:10,430 --> 00:15:11,870
<i>signing a big contract.</i>


323
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:13,940
They had bought Eric Ernest’s next book.


324
00:15:15,150 --> 00:15:16,070
Was it a commission?


325
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,800
I know someone who probably didn’t like that they stole his golden goose.


326
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,670
I filed in the paperwork to
get you a temporary accreditation.


327
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,720
<font color="


328
00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:39,220
Thank you.


329
00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:42,510
Are you sure that what
you’re looking for is in this section?


330
00:15:42,510 --> 00:15:44,190
We only keep the
administrative documents here.


331
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,630
There’s no criminal cases.


332
00:15:45,630 --> 00:15:47,010
No criminal cases.


333
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:50,840
I am looking for information
about an accident.


334
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:52,430
<font color="


335
00:15:54,830 --> 00:15:56,830
You are sitting on my desk.


336
00:16:05,510 --> 00:16:07,940
It must have hurt to find out
he had betrayed you.


337
00:16:08,270 --> 00:16:09,780
I didn’t know.


338
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:15,890
When Eric Ernest sends you
his first manuscript, he’s a nobody.


339
00:16:17,340 --> 00:16:19,620
But you agree to publish him
before even meeting him.


340
00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:21,220
Stop it.


341
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,290
And then,


342
00:16:22,290 --> 00:16:24,290
<font color="
behind the pseudonym.


343
00:16:25,410 --> 00:16:27,760
Henry Francoeur lives a
secluded life, he’s difficult,


344
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:29,470
but you grow up together.


345
00:16:29,650 --> 00:16:32,080
He may have the talent
but you make him a star.


346
00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:34,410
He doesn’t want to go outside?


347
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:35,150
Fine.


348
00:16:35,530 --> 00:16:36,750
Let’s build up a myth.


349
00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:41,020
<font color="
will fuel Eric Ernest’s legend.


350
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:42,390
You have no idea


351
00:16:42,390 --> 00:16:44,390
of the sacrifices I had to make.


352
00:16:44,390 --> 00:16:45,910
And then, he betrays you.


353
00:16:47,610 --> 00:16:49,990
He uses the fame
you helped him build


354
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:52,330
to sell himself to your competitor.


355
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:53,870
Powerless.


356
00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:55,430
Everything you’re not.
</font>

357
00:16:55,970 --> 00:16:56,980
That’s true.


358
00:16:57,860 --> 00:16:59,840
When I saw he had signed a book


359
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:00,900
with Paname,


360
00:17:01,010 --> 00:17:03,350
under the name Eric Ernest,
I was disgusted.


361
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:04,720
It drove me crazy.


362
00:17:05,130 --> 00:17:06,240
But I wouldn’t have killed him.


363
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,630
What does his death bring me?


364
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:11,860
I thought it was just a whim


365
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:14,100
<font color="
come back to work with us.


366
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:17,940
Unfortunately, you were the only one
who came to see him.


367
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:20,460
And you have a motive.


368
00:17:24,770 --> 00:17:27,490
Everything points towards the publisher
but I’m pretty sure it’s not him.


369
00:17:27,710 --> 00:17:29,050
Francoeur cheated on him,


370
00:17:29,050 --> 00:17:30,500
but Junot still liked him, that’s clear.


371
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:32,100
<font color="


372
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,300
What?


373
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:35,680
The first suspect is only here
to distract your attention.


374
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,400
What do you mean?


375
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:38,010
In Eric Ernest’s books,


376
00:17:38,010 --> 00:17:40,090
the goal of the mystery
is to confuse the reader,


377
00:17:40,090 --> 00:17:41,210
to put on a smokescreen.


378
00:17:41,330 --> 00:17:43,330
I didn’t find anything
about Francoeur’s accident.


379
00:17:43,490 --> 00:17:44,900
It is natural.
There was no investigation.


380
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:46,710
- There wasn’t?
- But I found something else.


381
00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:49,740
A fire incident report from
the Bourg d’Oisans fire department


382
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:52,100
in the Alps, dated from December 12th,1987.


383
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:55,820
A cabin hosting seasonal workers
of the Alpe d’Huez burned down.


384
00:17:56,140 --> 00:17:57,820
<font color="


385
00:17:58,340 --> 00:17:59,230
No casualties?


386
00:17:59,510 --> 00:18:00,320
One casualty.


387
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,370
A young woman.
Sophie Nobel.


388
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:04,660
Maybe the great love
from the legend.


389
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,870
Wait, there was a death
but no investigation?


390
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:08,230
- You’re sure?
- Absolutely.


391
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:11,790
There was another casualty but
they only had superficial wounds.


392
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:13,280
The name is Alain Lamarque.


393
00:18:13,910 --> 00:18:14,970
Everything is in here.


394
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,100
- Weren't those the papers on the victim?
- Yes.


395
00:18:27,390 --> 00:18:29,460
We were hoping to find a trace of
the book promised to Paname.


396
00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:30,090
And?


397
00:18:30,450 --> 00:18:31,870
And we have 4 manuscripts.


398
00:18:32,050 --> 00:18:32,720
Tapuscripts.


399
00:18:33,420 --> 00:18:33,920
Uh?
</font>

400
00:18:34,350 --> 00:18:36,560
Manuscript is for when it’s handwritten,
tapuscript is


401
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,740
for when it’s from a typewriter.


402
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:38,620
Right, Astrid?


403
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:40,010
Exactly, Commander Coste.


404
00:18:40,510 --> 00:18:42,060
- Well anyway, we have 4, uh-
- Tapuscripts.


405
00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:44,980
tapuscripts that are 4 novels published by
Junot over the last few years


406
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:46,570
<font color="


407
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,590
But there was this.


408
00:18:47,780 --> 00:18:48,980
A single page.


409
00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:50,450
Page 96.


410
00:18:50,790 --> 00:18:52,640
Is it a page of the book
promised to Paname?


411
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,120
It’s likely.
It would only add to the publisher’s motive.


412
00:18:55,410 --> 00:18:57,650
Junot would have killed him
to steal his manuscript


413
00:18:57,650 --> 00:18:58,950
to publish it himself.
</font>

414
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:03,310
Yeah, but to publish a book,
having it isn’t enough.


415
00:19:03,670 --> 00:19:04,950
There are contracts for that.


416
00:19:06,050 --> 00:19:08,720
Ask Arthur to dig
into the other victims.


417
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,470
There’s Sophie Nobel,


418
00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:12,240
the young woman
who died in the fire


419
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,430
and another guy…
What’s his name, again?


420
00:19:14,930 --> 00:19:17,010
Alain Lamarque. Caucasian.
Born January 24th, 1967.
</font>

421
00:19:17,630 --> 00:19:19,280
- You’re kidding me?
- No.


422
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:20,130
Lamarque?


423
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,870
You don’t know Alain Lamarque?
The writer?


424
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,100
- No.
- Uh...


425
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,490
Adam’s Mountain?
Doesn’t ring any bell?


426
00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:27,470
- No.
- That’s his latest book.


427
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:29,540
It was widely talked about
in literary circles.


428
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:30,580
No?


429
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:32,630
<font color="


430
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,970
It’s the chronicle of a raw passion that
inexorably leads to madness.


431
00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:37,610
It’s deeply moving. Read it!


432
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:39,150
Yes, I love these kinds of books.


433
00:19:39,420 --> 00:19:40,900
Let's pay him a visit.


434
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:43,570
Him and Francoeur were in the same fire,
maybe they stayed in touch.


435
00:19:43,910 --> 00:19:45,500
I have the address, Astrid.
Let's go?


436
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:23,510
Mr. Lamarque?


437
00:20:23,850 --> 00:20:24,450
Yes.


438
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,810
Who allowed you to
get inside my property?


439
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:28,580
The gate was opened.


440
00:20:28,940 --> 00:20:30,580
We'd like to ask you a few questions.


441
00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:32,580
Wait, if you want an interview,
do like everyone else.


442
00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:33,850
Contact my press office.


443
00:20:33,850 --> 00:20:35,430
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.
</font>

444
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:37,430
Commander Coste, Criminal police.


445
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,410
Did you see Henry Francoeur
since that fire in the Alps?


446
00:20:41,770 --> 00:20:42,810
What are you talking about?


447
00:20:42,810 --> 00:20:44,810
That fire in the Alps was ages ago.


448
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,210
No.
It was on December 12th, 1987.


449
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,890
Mr. Lamarque...


450
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,890
Henry Francoeur is dead.


451
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,790
Come in.


452
00:21:05,090 --> 00:21:06,420
<font color="


453
00:21:08,530 --> 00:21:09,710
I can’t believe it.


454
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:12,410
Henry was like a brother to me.


455
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:13,690
A brother?


456
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:17,970
After the horror we went through,
you can imagine.


457
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,230
We were already friends before the fire.


458
00:21:20,660 --> 00:21:22,340
It brought us closer.


459
00:21:22,570 --> 00:21:25,280
This picture.
There was the same one at Henry Francoeur’s.
</font>

460
00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:28,080
Here.


461
00:21:29,940 --> 00:21:31,470
It was taken in the Alps.


462
00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:34,870
We were seasonal workers.


463
00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:37,750
Henry was happy at that time,


464
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:39,910
radiant even.


465
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,920
He never could handle Sophie’s death.


466
00:21:42,170 --> 00:21:43,230
It destroyed him.


467
00:21:44,330 --> 00:21:45,230
Sophie?


468
00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:46,650
Sophie Nobel?


469
00:21:47,030 --> 00:21:47,530
Yes.
</font>

470
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:49,090
The young woman who
died in the fire?


471
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:50,230
It wasn’t a legend?


472
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,060
We met every winter.


473
00:21:53,260 --> 00:21:55,180
He loved her like
we all love at that age.


474
00:21:55,770 --> 00:21:57,290
We think it’s forever.


475
00:21:57,850 --> 00:21:59,100
Do you see each other often?


476
00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:01,670
Every chance we get,
which means not much.


477
00:22:01,690 --> 00:22:02,670
You know, I...


478
00:22:03,390 --> 00:22:05,870
<font color="
and Henry wasn’t very social.


479
00:22:05,870 --> 00:22:07,870
Did he ever mention
a book in the making?


480
00:22:08,540 --> 00:22:11,710
We found an isolated page
of a tapuscript at his place.


481
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:13,440
No, no, not at all.


482
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,260
We talked about everything except work.


483
00:22:16,410 --> 00:22:18,310
Spending time together was enough.


484
00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:20,110
We were very much alike.


485
00:22:20,930 --> 00:22:22,810
<font color="


486
00:22:22,810 --> 00:22:23,810
and you, by the public.


487
00:22:23,810 --> 00:22:25,210
Yes, I did my homework
before coming over.


488
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:27,850
I feel like your books aren’t
selling all that well,


489
00:22:27,850 --> 00:22:28,830
unlike his.


490
00:22:28,830 --> 00:22:32,080
His are sold at supermarkets.
That’s his customer base.


491
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:34,170
Henry wrote airport novels.


492
00:22:34,170 --> 00:22:35,500
<font color="


493
00:22:35,780 --> 00:22:37,280
Me? I write to leave a mark.


494
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,670
Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend.


495
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,820
I always favored quality over quantity.


496
00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:42,870
Just like with wine.


497
00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:45,350
You’ve got common, table wines,
and then you've got the others


498
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:46,610
with more subtlety,


499
00:22:47,630 --> 00:22:48,490
the grand crus.


500
00:22:50,430 --> 00:22:51,790
<font color="


501
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:54,950
I’ll give it to you as a gift.


502
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,460
I'll let you be the judge of that.


503
00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:04,190
Thank you so much.
It is very nice of you.


504
00:23:04,850 --> 00:23:07,740
The affection I had
for Henry was deep, sincere.


505
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:10,180
But we just didn’t have
the same job.


506
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:13,590
Now, if you don’t have any more questions,
I won't keep you.
</font>

507
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:15,260
I’m tired and I have
a lot of work to do.


508
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,530
Ma'ams.


509
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,340
I don’t like him.


510
00:23:31,470 --> 00:23:34,060
Isn’t denigrating a witness by
talking about his bad sales


511
00:23:34,090 --> 00:23:35,550
socially improper?


512
00:23:35,550 --> 00:23:36,610
I did it on purpose.


513
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:37,480
Ah.


514
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:39,710
What for?


515
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:42,020
To know who I was dealing with.
</font>

516
00:23:42,150 --> 00:23:43,590
And now, I know his weak spot.


517
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:44,500
It’s his pride.


518
00:23:51,370 --> 00:23:52,130
Oh no.


519
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,720
Théo was supposed to be home tonight.
I’ve been waiting for this for two days


520
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:57,130
and his dad is buying him off
with stupid concert tickets.


521
00:23:57,130 --> 00:23:58,420
Now, I’m all alone.


522
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:00,420
Why are you telling me this?


523
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:02,800
<font color="
to do with the investigation?


524
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,010
No. No. I’m just saying.


525
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:06,100
Sorry,
I didn’t mean to bother you.


526
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:07,330
I cannot do anything to help you.


527
00:24:07,330 --> 00:24:09,190
I do not even know Théo’s dad.


528
00:24:09,260 --> 00:24:10,020
Sorry, I-


529
00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:11,380
I need to confide in someone.


530
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:12,650
Why?

<font color="


532
00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:17,340
Why do you need to
confide in someone?


533
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,270
I don’t know, Astrid!
Because,


534
00:24:19,270 --> 00:24:21,230
because I trust you.


535
00:24:21,310 --> 00:24:21,810
Ah.


536
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:23,370
Very well.


537
00:24:27,370 --> 00:24:28,500
Goodbye, Commander.


538
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:33,590
It’s crazy, this habit of


539
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:35,710
leaving in the middle of a conversation.


540
00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:37,710
<font color="


541
00:24:51,930 --> 00:24:53,620
That’s what all neurotypicals do.


542
00:24:53,850 --> 00:24:55,650
They talk about themselves
to establish contact.


543
00:24:55,650 --> 00:24:58,030
That’s absurd.
I don’t see the point.


544
00:24:58,460 --> 00:24:59,310
Personally, I do.


545
00:24:59,380 --> 00:25:01,510
I don’t always have
the appropriate answers


546
00:25:01,510 --> 00:25:04,180
but when my neurotypicals friends
do it, I let them.


547
00:25:05,030 --> 00:25:06,490
<font color="


548
00:25:06,970 --> 00:25:08,860
Maybe by confiding in return?


549
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,300
By confiding in return.


550
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:14,420
But I am more comfortable when
we talk about the investigation.


551
00:25:14,860 --> 00:25:15,920
It makes more sense.


552
00:25:16,540 --> 00:25:18,100
What are you investigating this time?


553
00:25:18,530 --> 00:25:19,740
I cannot say anything.


554
00:25:20,340 --> 00:25:21,740
Come on, Astrid.


555

<font color="


556
00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:24,580
I cannot say anything.


557
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:26,140
It’s your special interest,


558
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,790
don’t tell me you
don’t want talk about it.


559
00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:29,590
But I am not allowed to.


560
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:33,570
That being said,


561
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:35,710
we all signed
an agreement stating that


562
00:25:35,710 --> 00:25:37,710
whatever is said here, stays here.


563
00:25:38,030 --> 00:25:38,530
<font color="


564
00:25:39,570 --> 00:25:40,160
So...


565
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,740
So?


566
00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:49,280
Yes, it’ll be great.


567
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,390
Yes, yes.


568
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,900
Oh no!
Don’t worry about me.


569
00:25:54,190 --> 00:25:55,130
Please.


570
00:25:55,670 --> 00:25:57,100
I'll go out...


571
00:25:57,110 --> 00:25:59,580
Go for drinks with a few colleagues,
come home late...


572
00:25:59,580 --> 00:26:00,380
You know me!


573
00:26:02,610 --> 00:26:03,910
<font color="


574
00:26:05,950 --> 00:26:08,570
It’ll do me some good to spend the evening
without kids around, you know?


575
00:26:09,940 --> 00:26:10,850
Okay, baby.


576
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:12,850
Yes.


577
00:26:13,490 --> 00:26:14,300
Me too.


578
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,510
Love you.


579
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:05,130
Astrid...


580
00:27:05,810 --> 00:27:07,470
You haven’t eaten
anything since yesterday.


581
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,020
You have to move on.


582
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:11,610
<font color="
it's becoming an obsession.


583
00:27:12,550 --> 00:27:13,930
Come on, stop!


584
00:27:15,890 --> 00:27:17,820
Astrid! Stop!


585
00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:18,460
Stop!


586
00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:22,050
Here.


587
00:27:22,050 --> 00:27:23,250
Astrid. Astrid...


588
00:27:36,180 --> 00:27:37,440
At least, let me help you.


589
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:02,530
I think there is a link
between page 96 and the fire.


590
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:04,570
The single page
we found at Francoeur’s,
</font>

591
00:28:04,570 --> 00:28:07,490
I think it refers to the fire
of December 12th, 1987.


592
00:28:07,490 --> 00:28:09,940
Francoeur was writing
a book about his accident?


593
00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:12,190
There is a body of consistent evidence
that would indicate so.


594
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:13,780
On page 96,


595
00:28:13,780 --> 00:28:15,510
a name caught my eye.


596
00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:17,650
Moncenis.
De Moncenis, to be more precise.


597
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:20,730
This name doesn't appear in the
firefighters’ intervention report.


598
00:28:20,730 --> 00:28:22,400
But, by going into more depth,


599
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,850
I discovered that he was in fact
the owner of the burned cabin.


600
00:28:25,610 --> 00:28:27,830
You had a very productive evening.


601
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:30,810
I read the first two chapters
of Alain Lamarque's book,


602
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:31,780
Adam’s Mountain.


603
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,080
I couldn’t quite get into it.


604
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,340
<font color="
- Right, sorry.


605
00:28:37,340 --> 00:28:38,800
It didn’t really catch my interest.


606
00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:39,650
Ah.


607
00:28:40,460 --> 00:28:41,050
Of course.


608
00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:42,530
Did you start reading it too?


609
00:28:42,580 --> 00:28:43,450
I finished it.


610
00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:45,390
Last night,
after my discovery,


611
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:46,730
I couldn’t get any sleep.


612
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,980
That's offending.


613
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:52,320
<font color="
and you just finished it.


614
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:54,900
You didn’t miss anything.
It is extremely boring.


615
00:28:55,060 --> 00:28:57,200
It’s the story of a boy who loves a girl
who doesn’t loves him back.


616
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,930
She tells him right from the start,
she’s very clear.


617
00:28:59,060 --> 00:29:00,750
But the boy perseveres
during the entire book.


618
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:01,760
It’s absurd.


619
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,040
<font color="


620
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,220
Love is a complicated feeling.


621
00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:05,720
No.


622
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:07,610
He loves her.
She does not.


623
00:29:07,610 --> 00:29:09,380
Everything is clear from the very start.


624
00:29:09,530 --> 00:29:11,300
No mystery. No enigma.


625
00:29:13,110 --> 00:29:14,430
Why did you read
the whole thing?


626
00:29:14,430 --> 00:29:16,340
If there was no mystery to solve?


627
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:17,950
<font color="


628
00:29:19,630 --> 00:29:22,770
I wanted to understand why Henry Francoeur
had written this kind of book.


629
00:29:22,790 --> 00:29:25,900
It was so different from the ones
he wrote under the name of Eric Ernest.


630
00:29:26,260 --> 00:29:27,550
Wait, you lost me.


631
00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:30,560
Adam’s Mountain was
written by Lamarque.


632
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,890
No.
It is indisputable.


633
00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:33,270
It has
the same writing patterns


634
00:29:33,270 --> 00:29:35,250
and the syntactical structure
is identical.


635
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:36,820
It is like a fingerprint.


636
00:29:37,100 --> 00:29:39,280
On the cover, it reads Lamarck,


637
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,620
but Adam’s Mountain


638
00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:41,910
was written


639
00:29:42,150 --> 00:29:43,530
by Henry Francoeur.


640
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,420
I still do not understand how it is considered as a motive.


641
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:52,160
<font color="
Francoeur wrote dime-store novels at lightning speed.


642
00:29:52,330 --> 00:29:55,220
When he decided to publish his first serious book,


643
00:29:55,220 --> 00:29:57,220
publishers probably laughed right in his face.


644
00:29:57,220 --> 00:29:59,580
For them, he was Erik Ernest, a low-grade writer.


645
00:29:59,620 --> 00:30:01,980
He would have asked Mark to be his pseudonym.


646
00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:04,600
Maybe to mock literary circles.


647
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,600
<font color="


648
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,670
Paul Palvovitch, who he asked to publish
under the name Emile Ajar.


649
00:30:09,670 --> 00:30:14,470
Except we can assume that when
Francoeur wanted to come clean,


650
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.


651
00:30:19,090 --> 00:30:21,930
He would have killed him to keep this secret hidden


652
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:25,800
<font color="


653
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.


654
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,050
Astrid, not that I want to doubt your analysis
but the Comissaire will want concrete proof.


655
00:30:35,050 --> 00:30:39,270
Not just two similar writings.
- Identical. Identical writings.


656
00:30:39,530 --> 00:30:42,470
- Ah, there we go! Thanks Arthur.
- What is it?


657
00:30:42,650 --> 00:30:44,690
<font color="


658
00:30:45,090 --> 00:30:48,470
Lamarck’s offshore bank account where
his publishing company transfer him his royalties.


659
00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:50,470
An offshore account? Like Francoeur?


660
00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:52,470
Even better. The same offshore account.


661
00:30:58,730 --> 00:31:01,490
Henry brought up his plan to me
two years ago, I couldn’t refuse.


662
00:31:02,330 --> 00:31:07,580
- Why? Money?
- Not only, I did it for him.


663
00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:09,180
What do you mean?


664
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,200
He had been writing under the pseudo Eric Ernest for years.


665
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,050
When he wrote a more personal book,
nobody wanted to buy it.


666
00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:17,850
So he came up with an idea:
to publish it under my name.


667
00:31:17,850 --> 00:31:22,070
And it became a classic. 5 literary prizes.


668
00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:23,760
That I had already guessed.


669
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,620
<font color="
when he wanted to come clean.


670
00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:29,620
He didn’t want to. You don’t understand.


671
00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:32,470
The only thing that mattered to him was writing.


672
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:34,470
He lived like a hermit.


673
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.


674
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,600
<font color="


675
00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:42,510
The dinner parties, the honors,
the low bows… those were for me.


676
00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:45,980
He just wanted to write, to be alone.
Writing was his life.


677
00:31:46,110 --> 00:31:48,650
Think about it, I had no reason to kill him.


678
00:31:48,650 --> 00:31:51,850
He gave me glory and recognition… he paid me well for this.


679
00:31:53,270 --> 00:31:57,090
<font color="


680
00:32:00,070 --> 00:32:01,270
I’m screwed.


681
00:32:08,110 --> 00:32:11,850
Moncenis. That was your landlord during the fire.


682
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,070
What happened exactly?


683
00:32:14,070 --> 00:32:18,200
Francis De Moncenis. Shithead.


684
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,310
He bothered all the female seasonal workers who lived there.
- You mean?


685
00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:25,580
He had wandering hands, when it was not worst.
</font>

686
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.


687
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,800
But it was the 80’s, there was no “me too” movement.


688
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,800
And everything stopped with the fire?


689
00:32:36,110 --> 00:32:37,050
Yes.


690
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:45,130
Well, at first Henry wanted to initiate
a legal procedure in the memory of Sophie.


691
00:32:45,670 --> 00:32:47,980
He was crushed, at his wit’s end.


692
00:32:49,090 --> 00:32:51,490
<font color="


693
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.


694
00:32:56,290 --> 00:33:01,180
Of course, there was.
Write a book to denounce.


695
00:33:01,930 --> 00:33:04,110
Henry Francoeur had just done so.


696
00:33:19,180 --> 00:33:23,930
Moncenis is in the database. Numerous cases
for harassment, but they were all dismissed.


697
00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:25,930
<font color="


698
00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:28,160
Sophie Nobel was about to press charges against him.


699
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,020
Where are you going with this?


700
00:33:30,020 --> 00:33:33,450
Look, Francoeur was killed while
in the middle of writing a book


701
00:33:33,450 --> 00:33:35,760
about the fire in which Sophie Nobel perished.


702
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,420
It’s hard to not see a link.
- You’re overstating.


703
00:33:38,420 --> 00:33:40,420
<font color="


704
00:33:40,420 --> 00:33:42,910

Yes, come in.


706
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?


707
00:34:07,090 --> 00:34:08,330
I do not know.


708
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,180
I would like to ask for your help.


709
00:34:17,050 --> 00:34:21,310
<font color="
Henry Francoeur contacted them a month ago.


710
00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:24,730
- Why did he call them?
- He asked them plenty of questions about their daughter.


711
00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:26,910
He allegedly wanted to set the record straight about her death.


712
00:34:26,910 --> 00:34:28,200
Am I still overstating now?


713
00:34:28,730 --> 00:34:31,850
Henry Francoeur investigated this
and he wanted to make a book out of it.


714
00:34:31,850 --> 00:34:36,650
<font color="
- Maybe the fact that Sophie Nobel was assassinated.


715
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:39,670
Miss Nielsen came to see me with her research.


716
00:34:39,670 --> 00:34:43,220
The intervention report has nothing
to do with an official criminal report.


717
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.


718
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,310
<font color="
- There.


719
00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:59,980
I think Francoeur was writing a book about
the truth about what happened 30 years ago.


720
00:35:00,110 --> 00:35:03,850
A truth that accuses Moncenis of murdering Sophie Nobel.


721
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,020
We sent a team at the victim’s.
The concierge recognized Moncenis’ picture right away.


722
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,330
He was in the building a few days ago.


723
00:35:10,330 --> 00:35:12,160
<font color="


724
00:35:12,330 --> 00:35:16,910
- And to steal his tapuscript.
Except that page 96 was forgotten at the crime scene.


725
00:35:17,090 --> 00:35:18,510
Moncenis didn’t realize that.


726
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,470
Okay. And why would Francoeur wait
so much time to write this testimony?


727
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:24,600
Because he only became aware of the truth recently.


728
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,470
<font color="
but he led a real investigation.


729
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.


730
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.


731
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,670
He must have drawn the same
conclusion as Astrid and Fournier.


732
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:41,670
<font color="


733
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,490
I spoke with a colleague from the Savoy region.


734
00:35:43,490 --> 00:35:46,780
Moncenis’ wife said he left for Paris yesterday


735
00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:48,160
and she hasn’t heard from him since then.


736
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,160
Okay, look for his phone, his credit card…
That guy didn’t vanish into thin air.


737
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,470
I’ll keep you updated. Thank you, Astrid.


738
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,580
<font color="


739
00:36:38,020 --> 00:36:38,600
Yes?


740
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,270
I still don’t understand the point of sharing
personal information outside of their context


741
00:36:43,270 --> 00:36:46,820
but I am willing to try and adapt
to your neurotypical features.


742
00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:50,960
So. My interest for puzzles dates back
to my mother’s departure.


743
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.


744
00:37:37,930 --> 00:37:40,600
You were really hoping to find
an answer inside this box?


745
00:37:41,220 --> 00:37:43,800
I did find an answer inside this box.


746
00:37:44,110 --> 00:37:45,580
It was empty.


747
00:37:47,130 --> 00:37:49,270
There was no reason to my mother’s departure.


748
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,200
She left, that was all.


749
00:37:54,690 --> 00:37:58,070
Astrid, I really have to tell you something
of the uttermost importance.


750
00:38:08,070 --> 00:38:09,180
<font color="


751
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:11,670
Raph, we spotted Moncenis.


752
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:14,160
He’s in a hotel room in Montmartre.
Come on guys, let’s go!


753
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:50,730
It’s going to be hard to interrogate him. Damn.


754
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:03,090
KCN. It was still inside Monceni’s hand.


755
00:39:03,310 --> 00:39:04,560
It comes from Eastern Europe.


756
00:39:05,180 --> 00:39:08,250
You can find that filth easily if you
know how to navigate the dark web.


757
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,420
He killed himself with the poison
that was used to kill Francoeur.


758
00:39:12,420 --> 00:39:15,310
Hey! I found Francoeur’s tapuscript.


759
00:39:16,690 --> 00:39:18,380
And page 96 is missing.


760
00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:20,870
It looks like a real defense speech against Moncenis.


761
00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:23,890
He would have killed Sophie and
used fire to cover up his tracks.


762
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:27,930
<font color="
You must be happy, Astrid.


763
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:29,930
What’s wrong?


764
00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:31,670
I do not know. But something is not working right.


765
00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:34,290
The pieces of the puzzle do not fit perfectly together.


766
00:39:34,870 --> 00:39:36,690
He kept his socks.


767
00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:44,330
The concert with dad was crazy.


768
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,930
You don’t like Skcus, maybe?


769
00:39:46,650 --> 00:39:50,290
<font color="


770
00:39:50,290 --> 00:39:52,290
And I found their music a bit old-fashioned.


771
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,730
And it sucks.


772
00:39:55,530 --> 00:39:59,310
Stop! You can’t say that.
I know you have all of their albums.


773
00:39:59,530 --> 00:40:02,820
You wouldn’t be jealous, would you?
- No. Look, it sucks.


774
00:40:02,820 --> 00:40:04,820
Look. It’s written here, sucks.


775
00:40:05,130 --> 00:40:07,220
<font color="


776
00:40:07,710 --> 00:40:10,380
It’s an ambigram, we can read it from both sides.


777
00:40:11,310 --> 00:40:14,200
That’s crazy.
- An ambigram…


778
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Well, damn.


779
00:40:17,450 --> 00:40:18,960
You’re a genius!


780
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,020
I’m calling the neighbor. I’m probably
going to come back home late tonight.


781
00:40:23,090 --> 00:40:26,380
- Thanks.
- Sorry, baby. Everyone gets a turn.


782
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:32,510
<font color="


783
00:40:32,910 --> 00:40:36,380
Me. I got a new job.


784
00:40:36,380 --> 00:40:38,070
- Ah, you changed company?
- No,


785
00:40:38,070 --> 00:40:41,050
I’m still working at the same place
but I’m not in maintenance anymore.


786
00:40:41,050 --> 00:40:44,290
Thanks to all of you, I managed
to talk to a colleague and


787
00:40:44,730 --> 00:40:48,020
I was hired in IT.
- Congrats, Max!


788
00:40:48,020 --> 00:40:49,000
<font color="


789
00:40:52,730 --> 00:40:55,270
Raphaëlle, good evening.
- Good evening.


790
00:40:56,110 --> 00:40:59,450
I’m really sorry, I don’t mean to bother you.
- Take a seat.


791
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.


792
00:41:04,110 --> 00:41:05,670
Astrid, you’re free to go if you wish to.


793
00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:08,070
It was not planned.


794
00:41:08,290 --> 00:41:11,930
<font color="


795
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:17,490
Look, I can’t talk about it here


796
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.


797
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?


798
00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:36,380
I talked about the investigation with the group members.
</font>

799
00:41:36,380 --> 00:41:39,530
I am sorry, it is against regulations.
It is totally against regulations.


800
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,180
- That’s the least you could say. You astound me, Astrid.
- Me too, I astound myself.


801
00:41:44,250 --> 00:41:47,360
I do not know if you have a good
influence on me, Commander Coste.


802
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,620
Ah, we’ll talk about it later.


803
00:41:51,620 --> 00:41:53,050
Right now, we have to go to Lamarck’s.


804
00:41:53,050 --> 00:41:55,050
<font color="


805
00:41:55,050 --> 00:41:56,820
And what if he was the one who
wrote everything from the start?


806
00:41:57,220 --> 00:42:00,110
And if it was Francoeur, the straw man?
It’s possible, isn’t it?


807
00:42:00,380 --> 00:42:01,580
Technically, yes.


808
00:42:01,580 --> 00:42:05,890
I recognized that it was the same writing,
but it can work both ways.


809
00:42:06,330 --> 00:42:07,450
An ambigram?


810
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,270
- Not exactly, no.
- You lost me there.


811
00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:15,130
But yes! Lamarck writes precise
novels that aren’t very lucrative


812
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.


813
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,690
And to save faces, he asked his
friend Francoeur to take on the part.


814
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,180
Yes. Of course, all of this stays
between us, don’t we all agree?


815
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:28,560
<font color="


816
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,580
A secret couldn’t be better kept than in an autist’s hands.


817
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Provided you specify that it is indeed, one.


818
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,850
Because sometimes, with
neurotypical people, it’s not very clear.


819
00:42:38,420 --> 00:42:41,620
Okay. Then, this is a secret,


820
00:42:41,620 --> 00:42:44,510
very, very, secret, alright?


821
00:42:45,270 --> 00:42:45,980
There you go.


822
00:42:46,420 --> 00:42:49,360
<font color="


823
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,780
we only have a small window left
to legally interrogate him before it’s too late.


824
00:42:52,780 --> 00:42:53,490
Let’s go?


825
00:42:54,110 --> 00:42:56,420
Are you certain to need me?


826
00:42:56,420 --> 00:42:59,490
Yes, of course I need you Astrid.
You see things that I don’t.


827
00:42:59,490 --> 00:43:00,290
Ah.


828
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,360
Let’s go. Thanks. Thanks.


829
00:43:06,690 --> 00:43:08,690
<font color="
- Goodbye.


830
00:43:08,690 --> 00:43:09,580
Sorry.


831
00:43:14,990 --> 00:43:17,590
Commander Coste. Miss Nielsen.


832
00:43:19,130 --> 00:43:23,150
You’re here just in time for a legal visit.


833
00:43:24,190 --> 00:43:27,570
We have just under 34 minutes left.


834
00:43:29,350 --> 00:43:34,510
- 30 minutes? You better be concise.
- Concise? I know you are Eric Ernest.


835
00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:36,590
- Took you some time.
- You’re not denying it?


836
00:43:37,110 --> 00:43:38,710
<font color="


837
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?


838
00:43:44,540 --> 00:43:47,740
Those books sell like hotcakes. Literally, I mean.


839
00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:50,740
You can find it at the supermarket,
between baby wipes and appetizers.


840
00:43:50,740 --> 00:43:53,890
- So what?
- So, with such a success,


841
00:43:53,940 --> 00:43:55,510
<font color="


842
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,690
Everybody wanted to know who was Eric Ernest.
- It couldn’t be you, of course.


843
00:43:59,690 --> 00:44:01,140
Of course not.


844
00:44:02,090 --> 00:44:06,830
Henry was the perfect candidate.
Discreet, invisible, always locked inside his home.


845
00:44:06,830 --> 00:44:08,830
A hermit.


846
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.


847
00:44:13,890 --> 00:44:15,490
And he didn’t cost me much either.


848
00:44:15,690 --> 00:44:18,200
A great whiskey bottle every once
in a while, and he was happy.


849
00:44:18,460 --> 00:44:20,340
Whiskey that you laced with cyanide.


850
00:44:20,830 --> 00:44:24,830
Careful Commander.
I could get you to court for defamation.


851
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,630
Don’t touch that.


852
00:44:39,660 --> 00:44:41,340
Order Coste.


853
00:44:43,310 --> 00:44:48,340
<font color="
It is the proof of Alain Lamarck’s culpability.


854
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


855
00:45:01,420 --> 00:45:02,890
but I did not know what it was.


856
00:45:03,110 --> 00:45:06,140
And it is when I saw Alain Lamarck’s typewriter
that everything fell into place.


857
00:45:06,140 --> 00:45:08,770
<font color="


858
00:45:08,940 --> 00:45:12,370
It is a little like a fingerprint from
the typewriter used to type it.


859
00:45:12,770 --> 00:45:17,110
- Why two tapuscripts?
- The first was stolen at Francoeur’s.


860
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,


861
00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:27,950
re-written by Lamarck based on page 96
to make us believe it was the original.
</font>

862
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.


863
00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:33,820
But why would he do that?


864
00:45:33,820 --> 00:45:39,620
Because Francoeur’s original depicts a whole
other story of what happened 30 years ago.


865
00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:44,490
A story where Sophie Nobel’s murderer
and the fire culprit isn’t Moncenis.


866
00:45:44,820 --> 00:45:46,490
But Alain Lamarck.


867
00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:48,950
<font color="


868
00:45:49,350 --> 00:45:52,750
Why else make a fake tapuscript?
Because the first one was accusing him.


869
00:45:53,020 --> 00:45:55,620
Wait, Raph, that’s not enough.
We’ll need a confession.


870
00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:58,090
I can get it easily. I know his weak spot.


871
00:45:58,490 --> 00:45:59,890
What is it? Pride?


872
00:46:00,550 --> 00:46:02,350
Sophie Nobel.


873
00:46:03,350 --> 00:46:06,220
The great love from the legend. There.


874
00:46:08,890 --> 00:46:11,890
<font color="


875
00:46:12,350 --> 00:46:16,020
A story about a passionate and
unrequited love that drives a man to madness.


876
00:46:16,150 --> 00:46:20,090
- Did you like it?
- Not very much, to be honest.


877
00:46:20,090 --> 00:46:22,890
And Henry Francoeur probably didn’t either.


878
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.


879
00:46:27,290 --> 00:46:31,890
<font color="
he started to see it under a new light.


880
00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:34,550
He wondered if it wasn’t depicting another story.


881
00:46:34,550 --> 00:46:38,150
Your hand, like a claw onto Sophie’s shoulder.


882
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:40,090
That’s absurd.


883
00:46:41,820 --> 00:46:44,620
All we have to do is read the tapuscript
we found next to Monceni’s body


884
00:46:44,620 --> 00:46:47,490
and to replace his name by yours
to understand what happened.


885
00:46:47,750 --> 00:46:49,220
I don’t know what you’re talking about.


886
00:46:49,490 --> 00:46:52,150
I’m talking about the fact that you killed Sophie Nobel.


887
00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:55,090
And to cover your murder up, you set the cabin on fire.


888
00:46:55,090 --> 00:47:00,820
Your victim’s body carbonized, your rival hurt
and disfigured… The perfect crime.


889
00:47:01,150 --> 00:47:03,420
You were never worried about that


890
00:47:03,890 --> 00:47:07,420
<font color="


891
00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:10,290
the truth and decided to write a book about it and to publish it.


892
00:47:10,550 --> 00:47:13,820
That’s a good story.
You should write mystery novels, Commander.


893
00:47:14,020 --> 00:47:16,090
You already lost the game, Mister Lamarck.


894
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.
</font>

895
00:47:25,550 --> 00:47:28,350
- Sophie Nobel, you loved her, didn’t you?
- Yes.


896
00:47:29,820 --> 00:47:34,090
I loved her like we all love at that age.
We think it’s forever.


897
00:47:34,690 --> 00:47:37,090
But she loved Henry Francoeur.


898
00:47:38,090 --> 00:47:41,150
So you took by force what she refused to give you.


899
00:47:41,620 --> 00:47:46,550
You raped her and you murdered her so she would shut up.


900
00:47:48,490 --> 00:47:50,820
Something eludes me.


901
00:47:50,820 --> 00:47:54,750
<font color="
was writing a book against you?


902
00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:59,420
That’s quite eccentric.
I eat regularly with Paname publisher in chief.


903
00:47:59,690 --> 00:48:03,290
Right away, he told me about it,
way too proud to hold his tongue.


904
00:48:03,290 --> 00:48:05,690
He had paid a fortune for Eric Ernest’s next book.


905
00:48:05,690 --> 00:48:07,690
You’d think of course I was surprised!


906
00:48:07,690 --> 00:48:09,690
I’m Eric Ernest.
</font>

907
00:48:09,690 --> 00:48:14,150
You stole the manuscript,
but you forgot page 96 on the scene.


908
00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:16,150
Without this page, we would never have gone back to you.


909
00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:20,620
That’s the difference with your mystery novels.
You don’t control every aspect.


910
00:48:20,620 --> 00:48:23,620
Yes, I confess I was upset.


911
00:48:23,620 --> 00:48:28,490
After your first visit, I checked into the manuscript
and indeed, page 96 was missing.


912
00:48:29,950 --> 00:48:33,290
<font color="


913
00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:37,620
I found a solution, I had to make stuff up,
to improvise. Surprise the reader.


914
00:48:37,620 --> 00:48:41,490
That’s when you thought of accusing Moncenis instead of you.


915
00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:46,090
Exactly. We can’t hide anything from you.


916
00:48:47,290 --> 00:48:51,020
I typed the manuscript during the night,
changing the details accusing me


917
00:48:51,020 --> 00:48:55,020
<font color="
There was work to do.


918
00:48:55,820 --> 00:48:57,620
The rest was a child’s play,


919
00:48:57,620 --> 00:49:00,750
making Moncenis come to Paris telling him
Henry was going to accuse him.


920
00:49:00,750 --> 00:49:03,550
Making him drink the cyanide and wipe off everything,


921
00:49:03,550 --> 00:49:07,290
all traces off the crime scene. The work abc’s.


922
00:49:08,820 --> 00:49:11,550
<font color="


923
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,420
based on true facts, written by a murderer.


924
00:49:16,220 --> 00:49:17,950
People will pounce on it.


925
00:49:18,570 --> 00:49:21,690
You and your colleague who is a little…


926
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,930
are going to become incredible mystery novel characters,


927
00:49:25,860 --> 00:49:27,200
sensational,


928
00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:28,660
stars.


929
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,440
You’re freaking crazy
</font>

930
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,930
and you’re going to spend the rest of your life in jail.


931
00:49:39,730 --> 00:49:42,970
Do you think we are mystery novel characters?


932
00:49:42,970 --> 00:49:46,260
Of course not!
Lamarck’s a megalomaniac.


933
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,890
Yesterday evening, you said you had
something important to tell me.


934
00:49:52,570 --> 00:49:53,910
Yes.


935
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,860
I found your mother, Astrid.


936
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,370
Ah, that was it.


937
00:50:02,570 --> 00:50:05,330
<font color="


938
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,260
It is pretty important.


939
00:50:08,260 --> 00:50:12,400
No. At least, I - I do not think so.


940
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:18,130
Okay. I get it. You blame her,


941
00:50:18,130 --> 00:50:20,440
it’s very understandable, it’s a very natural reaction.


942
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,800
No, I cannot blame her because I never knew her.


943
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,400
<font color="


944
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:31,600
To know why she left?
To choose to blame her or to forgive her?


945
00:50:31,770 --> 00:50:34,570
To get all of your anger out?


946
00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:36,970
It might do you some good.


947
00:50:37,150 --> 00:50:39,550
I do not have any anger inside me, Commander Coste.


948
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,290
And I am very sorry, but I do not see how that would be useful.


949
00:50:43,290 --> 00:50:47,690
<font color="
I do not see any reason to change that now.


950
00:50:47,690 --> 00:50:49,690
It is common sense.


951
00:50:50,310 --> 00:50:52,890
And congratulations again on
Francoeur’s investigation, Commander Coste.


952
00:50:52,890 --> 00:50:56,220
Without you, we would never have understood
that we were reading the story backwards.


953
00:50:56,220 --> 00:50:58,220
Goodbye.
