she met this girl, Lina.

Allison and Lina were...
together,

they got in a big fight,

That's where she met
this Akim guy.

And they had some drinks.

He stole her purse, and...

she found Lina dead

And they never could find
this Akim.

People will talk.
He will try to disappear.

Then, if I find this Akim,

Come on.

Once that oil company
has that lease,

they hire a drilling company.

That's who I work for.

And then we get there, we rig up

and we put
all that shit together.

Once we have that rig up,

we start making hole.

That's what a roughneck does.

Nedjma is a technical genius.

I'm not a genius.
I'm just younger.

- Okay...
- These are online or some shit?

These are all from
Instagram accounts

of Souad and her bitchy friend.

And these photos
are all from the party.

How'd y'all get them?

I set up
a false Instagram account,

followed Souad and her lovely
friend whose name is Samira,

and then geotagged the party

Souad was at
when she saw this guy.

So there's a chance
Akim is in one of these photos.

VIRGINIE:
...Arab and light skin.

Yeah, uh, light skin,
yeah, and tall.

So we're going to print them up,

and then you can show them
to Allison.

- No, I'm not gonna do that.
- Why?

If Akim is there, she'll know.

I don't care.

I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do it to her.

I got to protect her.

I don't understand.

Wh-why you're being
so stubborn about Allison?

What we should do
is go back to Souad

now we got those pictures.

Well, we stole these photos
from Instagram,

so I'm not sure
this is a good idea.

Mr. Baker,

I've come with some
extraordinary news.

The judge in your daughter's
case called me this morning.

New evidence has surfaced.

Apparently, a retired cop

came up with a DNA match
on the unknown sample.

It also matched
a sample the police collected

on a burglary case
four years ago,

after the trial.

Did they catch him?

No, not yet.

But all we need to prove
is sufficient doubt.

So even if they can't
find the suspect,

there's a real chance
they will release Allison.

In fact, the judge
has already agreed

to reopen the investigation,
which is almost unheard of.

I think this could only happen
in Marseille.

Thank you for coming
to tell me, ma'am.

Mr. Baker, this is
the best possible outcome

for your family.

Do you understand?

I do.

Thank you, ma'am.
