I try to pretend this didn't happen,

that a good night's sleep would erase it.

How do people manage?

They forget...

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year 1976

THE KEY

Wait!

Segers, don't do it!

October 2007

Eric Segers, please.

You have a wrong number.

Sorry. I meant Eric Vincent.

Eric's out. Any message?

It's personal.

He lets me take personal messages.

Are you his wife'? Audrey?

- Who are you'? - I'll call again.

- When will he be back? - Dunno.

- I'll try again. - Right. Bye.

Say it was someone who knows who he is.

Who is'?

December 9, 1975

They roasted him, then used a fire extinguisher.

What was the weapon?

They left a flamethrower.

- He lived alone? - Divorced.

Who is he'?

Richard DE Voll. A local antique dealer.

- He had a record'? - He was grabbing Bessy's turf.

Ariel Bessy?

DE Voll knew his murderer.

Was he "extinguished" alive?

These turtles have no cellular loss.

Dead ones have been found, but no old ones.

An Australian scientist has isolated crystals in their brain,

that protect them from aging.

No turtle crystals on my face!

Why not'? If it works...

Would you do it'?

You've aged a bit...

Kids are part of us, we should think of it.

Anyway, I do.

Thinking about it, is a start.

The rest happens naturally.

Coffee'?

You're hesitating about kids?

Just tell me to shut up!

Yes, I'm the one.

You're not sure...

of the timing, or wanting them'?

I've already got kids, you know.

No, I didn't know.

A boy and a girl.

Their mother has custody. They live up north, near B'? hune.

I didn't know.

I don't see them enough.

It's tough to cope with.

You made it up!

You dummy...

He did his B'? hune number'?

It was hilarious.

I'm surely intruding.

Who is this?

I'm Joseph Arp.

I was a friend of Denis Segers.

And who's Denis Segers?

Your father.

I see.

Forget it. I've turned that page.

I called because of a strange piece of news.

- Don't insist. Thanks. - No, wait...

Audrey and I will have a kid when it's time.

Sorry?

We'll have a kid when our honeymoon's over.

When she's pregnant, she'll know it's over!

No, it means it's far from over now.

You're doing great tonight.

Don't sulk!

Find out what he's saying...

Who?

The guy who phoned.

Let's not go over that again. I don't want to, that's all.

I once tried to, but got nowhere. Things are OK now, I don't need it.

Don't need what?

What are you scared of'?

I'm not scared.

All foster home kids aren't orphans.

Find out! It's stopping you from...

Becoming a dad myself? Is that it'?

I'm sick of that crap.

Thanks for the crap.

Please don't move.

How long did you say'?

8 months.

Maybe 10. Depends how it develops.

So that goddam tumor could kill me'?

Just when my hip's getting better.

We considered that, before opting for a graft.

If your daughter agrees to...

But I'm in no pain!

We could try a new treatment, but...

You say 8 months...

Could be twice that, right'?

They think they'll be better at presenting our newline.

We could dodge their request.

And the Evry symposium?

I'll let Burgese go instead of me.

I'd rather you went.

Burgese lacks your experience.

Everything OK with you'?

You seem a bit...

- No, sir. Everything's fine. - OK.

- Keep me posted about Gleisman'? - Will do.

Mr Vincent'? Joseph Arp.

How did you get this number'? Yours is on my screen.

Your father was a very good friend.

"Was"! Either you fell out, or he's dead.

I have his ashes.

So what?

I wanted to consult you before disposing of them.

They're a stranger's ashes.

Who was your father. That's why I decided to...

I'm not interested. Goodbye.

Not very smart, if I may say so.

What's in it for me'?

Your usual fee, less 20%.

We're friends, you can cut me a deal.

Find Cecile for me, Franck. You won't regret it.

Mr Man'? I, I've got lots of good offers.

I can't afford to miss them.

I brought you into the agency!

I made you a private eye!

Look!

Go ahead.

It's not a fake.

A down payment.

You owe me this.

If you find my daughter, you save my life.

Get it'?

You're doing something worthy.

Worthy!

I'll see what I can do.

Here's the file.

Is this pretty girl dead'? Or reading?

She fainted because her honeymoon was ending...

It'll never end. What's all this?

You'll see...

Stop it, Eric.

I'm not in the mood.

Stop! I mean it. I don't want to.

OK.

As you wish.

No, it's not as I wish.

It's never as I wish.

It's always what you wish!

Smoking again wasn't a brainwave.

What's going on'?

"What's going on?"

You're a genius!

I try to talk to you about what I care about.

That you'd care about too, if we're truly a couple.

The baby we can't seem to have.

But I can't get an answer from you worth remembering.

So I have to nag you like some dumb chick so you listen,

half-heartedly,

and stagger in here asking: "What's going on?"

You're a pain!

You force me to beg you, which is so low...

You're a pain! So there!

And when you finally mention it,

after poor Sophie's booboo,

you unclench your teeth to make a joke

about our honeymoon!

Some asinine quip!

That's all you can do!

It shouldn't happen this way...

It shouldn't.

Hi, it's Audrey. Please...

How long have you worked here'?

6 months.

You saw a change in Mr DE Voll's behavior?

He rarely came to the store.

What about jail?

What jail?

For holdups, fencing, drug dealing.

Did Mr DE Voll see anyone regularly?

I mean a special relationship.

I don't know.

Did you sleep with him'?

Do you two sleep together'?

You know Ariel Bessy.

By name.

DE Voll didn't introduce you'?

When's it due'?

I don't know.

Next week, maybe.

Smoking's a bad idea.

For the baby.

Hi, it's Audrey. Please...

If she's whoring, it's for money.

I'll get her money.

Without this graft, I'll die.

When did you last see her'?

A bit over a year.

Shit.

This illness made you remember your daughter.

Maybe your ordeal is a good thing.

Hasn't she called since?

I thought you'd have recent news.

Well, you were mistaken.

She knows how to drop out of sight.

She got that from you.

Would you tell me, if you knew where she is'?

Doesn't matter.

You don't have to answer.

I kept you waiting...

- Mr Arp? - Yes, Joseph Arp

It wasn't there'?

I said No.5

You didn't say what number.

You have a "wish"?

Yes, it's a birthmark.

They called it a "wish" because the mother craved for something...

Hello.

What do you drink in daytime?

Beer, port wine'?

Water, thanks.

Go in. I'll join you.

Go on.

Have a seat.

I hoped your presence would cheer up my sister.

But she's acting shy.

A bit later, maybe.

Thanks.

How did you find me'?

Some people are pros at finding people.

Strange, isn't it'?

Meeting this way.

Now I don't know how to start.

When I got here I felt surer of myself, but...

We must be inventive.

You knew my father well'?

For a longtime?

Yes. Very.

I'll show you something.

What I wonder is, if I'd met him without knowing,

would I have enjoyed having a drink...

With my father.

Get what I mean?

That's him on the left. Denis Segers.

I'm beside him.

- Where was it'? Algeria? - Yes. Algeria.

Would I have enjoyed a chat with him'?

No answer to that.

Excuse me.

Come, come.

OK.

I don't know...

I hoped to recognize something, but...

He could be anybody.

He is anybody.

We were all a bunch of "anybodies".

I have to cut this short. Unforeseen circumstances.

Sure.

- Sorry. - I'll leave you.

Take the photo.

No, I don't think so.

That's it.

I forgot.

I'm not sure how to do this.

What the proper etiquette is for it.

Here, it's what I spoke of.

Thanks.

To answer your question,

I think the answer is no.

You wouldn't have enjoyed chatting with him.

He wasn't an interesting person. And neither am I.

Thanks.

Drive carefully.

He's got it. Stay on his tail.

Ariel Bessy?

Yes.

Michele Varin.

I'm investigating DE Voll's murder.

So what?

He was murdered at his home.

Your name's often in his diary.

He wanted to buy my house.

You'd known him long?

Meaning?

2 days, 6 months, a year?

Closer to a year.

You knew of his new ventures'?

He deals in furniture, old weapons.

Small potatoes.

I mean dope dealing in the southern suburbs.

On your turf.

That's bigger potatoes.

I'm out of dope deals.

Should I believe that?

Gimme a smoke.

It's me.

Did you call me'?

I called all day. You don't pick up.

You left no message.

I went to see the guy about my father.

Really? Where are you'?

On my way back.

You could have warned me.

I left on an impulse.

What about your father'?

I'm bringing him home.

What?

I have his ashes beside me. On the dead man's seat.

Are you OK'?

I'm the son of a dull man.

I'll be home in an hour.

I'm not feeling well. I may be in bed.

If you're asleep, can I wake you'?

Yes, but...

What's he up to'?

It's wrecked. How'd you do it'?

No idea. Can you change it'?

We're not a garage. You gotta wait till the rain stops.

When was DE Voll last here'?

I don't remember.

People meet here, but they don't mingle.

How about Ariel Bessy?

He's my brother, he drops by.

6 months ago, coffins were searched at the border.

20 kilos of heroin was sewn in the corpses.

Your brother seems to be involved in it.

With another man: Arp.

You know him'?

By name.

He has a funeral parlor.

There's nothing here. You cops know that.

Don't you care who killed DE Voll?

What for'? He's dead, isn't he'?

Can I talk to you'?

Some weather, huh'?

You stuck here'?

Yes, windshield wipers are bust.

And you?

I'm moving around.

Interested?

No, thanks.

I just bought it, don't make me drink alone.

No, really.

Come on.

Just a drop.

Thanks.

My name's Cecile.

Eric.

Don't do that.

Why not?

I'm not interested.

No, wait...

Let yourself go...

No, I can't. Sorry.

I'm sorry, I just can't.

Know her'?

You must. She hangs around here.

- Never seen her. - Really?

Her name's Cecile.

I don't believe it!

The goddam urn!

I dined at that table last night.

With a girl from that table by the partition.

A blonde with wavy hair...

See who I mean?

Not at all.

Man'? I.

Come in.

Will it pick me up'?

Probably. Morphine taken with corticoids

acts on your neuro-endocrinal system.

The worst is the memory loss and fatigue.

This is all I've got here.

But never come back.

If you set foot in here, I'll...

You'll what?

- You promise? - Sure...

Show me how it's done.

I don't know.

I was asleep. Guess I left the trunk open.

I was spaced out yesterday.

They'll flip when they see what they stole.

I feel so bad about it...

See, even as ashes, he's a distant father.

It's a dry oil, 100% vegetable.

You're sure it's unlike our DHA?

Sorry, I have to leave for an appointment.

Am I presenting our line-up at the Evry show?

Sure. I'll leave with you Monday.

At what time?

Dunno. Pick me up at 8AM.

Go on!

Do you ever experience events that haven't happened yet'?

Feel in contact with places or images that seem familiar?

I just read a book...

A book'?

On parallel universes.

And?

It was weird.

Christ!

Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday. - What is it'?

- You'll see. - Thanks.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

You gonna take that photo?

If you're nice I will.

There...

like that.

- Shall I blow? - Go on!

All at once. Great!

Leave it.

Sorry.

- They're fabulous! - Lovely!

Who is this?

I'm in the bowling alley, close by. I'll wait for you.

I asked who you were.

A friend.

You coming'? I got something for you.

I'm busy, specially to strangers.

Then I'll come to your place.

Listen, you...

Shit!

I forgot, I've got a surprise, too.

Dad, I'll go if you want.

It's in the car...

I'll come with you.

Close the door behind us?

Close it!

Where did you park'?

In the back, as usual.

Is Audrey OK'?

She looks tired.

No.

I'm here.

Where did I put it'? There.

I'm getting a new one.

What?

A new car.

No.

Thanks.

Me, too.

What?

I'm back to smoking, too.

Here.

Thanks.

So when'll you make us a baby?

Soon.

The longer you wait, the more you regret it.

And regrets are lousy.

Looks good?

Who was it'?

Local kids. They do that. We're used to it.

Kids are still outside this late?

Look! Plum brandy!

Fabulous.

You OK'?

- Have a safe trip! - Good night.

I nailed Simon before he got to the hooker.

The other creep's headed home.

I expect you.

How was that?

I thought you spoke...

Isn't that cool'?

And we curse them.

I didn't know you also lost your ID.

So your ID was also in the trunk'?

No, I had it on me.

And the urn'?

In the trunk.

It was all stolen while you slept?

OK...

By a male or female thief?

Female.

But nothing happened with her.

Did she just call'?

No. It was a man.

There's two of them'?

I don't know.

Yes, I guess so.

Right.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

I'm doing it slowly, to give you time to make me stay.

You'd be safer elsewhere.

What?

What is this?

Don't stay here tonight.

Go to Sophie and Thierry's.

Tell me what's going on'?

Very well.

Move your car.

Surprised?

Surprised and not surprised!

Must be a complex feeling.

I'm complex, though I try to stay out of things.

Or wade into things.

You shouldn't have come.

I was invited.

Who's that guy?

The guy who called you'?

Simon, my sweetie.

Nice of you to return my gear.

It wasn't nice.

Were you tailed'?

Dunno. Should I'?

I knew you were the wrong guy.

For what?

Be careful from now on.

I am.

Don't worry, I am.

We fucked up.

They're after us now.

Simon returned the urn to you,

to get you involved, so they'd think...

So they'd think?

That you're one of us.

So who'd think?

The bad guys.

They're really bad guys.

We're not. We're patsies, Simon and me.

What is this? I don't get it.

We thought you had what we wanted to steal.

Listen...

There's no room for you in my life.

For people like you, or your sweetie.

People like me'?

Thieving freeway hookers!

I've also lost the nice guy I met that night.

Were those real ashes?

Someone near and dear'?

We're all headed for trouble.

Richard DE Voll.

Photos of the girl.

Thanks.

They did a clean job.

Took her baby alive painlessly.

A new form of kidnapping.

Stealing a baby from its mother...

her joy of giving birth.

Stealing from the father, too.

OK.

Gonna turn off the light?

Dunno. Want me to'?

As you wish.

Let's leave it on.

You're starting to bug me!

Don't do that.

What?

Put down the urn.

Put it gently on the ground.

There. That's good.

What's all this?

You've reached Fran'? is Man'? I.

You can leave a message.

I'll call you when I've heard it.

This is Pujol...

Are you there, Mr Man'? I'?

Mr Man'? I'?

Where are you'?

The Park Hotel, in Coudraie.

I met someone who may know her.

She works for a guy: Simon.

A junkie who farms her out to a big guy.

But she's still whoring.

- She's in it because her... - Can you reach her'?

I know her tattoo artist.

Someone's at the door.

What?

May I come in'?

What for'?

We gotta talk.

- About what? - The girl you want, Cecile.

The hooker you had

said you asked for her...

Hello'?

Pujol?

- Well... - In the trunk.

Get out.

- I'm no part of this. - Sure.

- What do you want'? - Shut up.

- Where are we going? - Move!

Open it!

- It's locked. - Unlock it.

Go inside.

What are you doing here'?

Problem people get put in here a few days...

for the scenery.

You already been here'?

Sure.

I'm a problem girl.

You call me complex, to them I'm a problem girl.

Got a cigarette'?

Life's more complex now.

What do you want with me'?

You've put me in deep shit!

Who are you'?

A freeway hooker, no'?

An addict who's trying to quit,

who took the wrong urn for her dumb boyfriend.

What did you think was in it'?

Stuff.

What stuff?

Who are these guys?

Him.

Who? Who's he'?

Sit down.

Want some salami?

You're wrong, it's good.

It's donkey salami.

Eat something.

Specially after a shock.

I'm not into cold cuts.

I gave you a hell of a shock.

How do you fit in with the other two?

I know you want something back.

- The girl told me... - Know how we use urns'?

A guy picks one up that's full of it.

Simon mistook you for...

Screw all this crap with Simon...

Are those real ashes?

Yes... I think so.

Whose?

My father's.

Were you fond of daddy?

Then give him some air...

That'll do.

Change of plan. He goes back to town.

Wipe yourself.

We're taking you back to town.

And the girl?

What girl?

Don't act cute, Simon.

Get in.

I said, get in.

Beddy-byes.

- Evening. - Mr Pujol, please.

Yes, we have a Mr Pujol.

Call him.

Very well.

It's busy.

Try again.

Busy, sir.

Open the door.

I'm not allowed to.

You better open it.

Are you sure'?

Get going!

Where are we'?

Detective Varin?

Fontaines Hospital.

Your maternity ward patient wants to see you.

It's 6 AM!

She's been asking for 2 hours.

I'd best be alone with her.

Sure, no problem.

I thought about your quotation...

"All of us are like water within water."

$0'?

It means man is wholly part of this world.

That's how I interpret it.

The world is full of all kinds of vibrations,

like water.

And one of those vibrations...

is man.

Like water within water.

Yes, that's interesting.

Thanks for fetching me.

I was awake, anyway.

We're connecting you to the police.

They're after Denis.

The baby's father'?

They took my baby...

Yes. I know.

Who took it'?

Ariel Bessy?

A little boy.

Notify my brother...

Does he know where your friend was?

He killed Richard DE Voll...

They won't give back my baby,

if he doesn't give back what he took.

Who?

Your friend? Segers?

Yes.

He went to get the stuff in Italy.

And he kept it all...

What did he get in Italy?

Narcotics?

You must call my brother.

Will you call my brother'?

Will I go to jail?

I can't go to jail.

I have to take care of my baby.

Who is your brother'?

Joseph.

Joseph?

Joseph APP?

I'm going away for a while.

Why'?

Let's say...

to shelter myself.

- From what? - From you.

From me'?

I'm pregnant.

You heard?

I'm pregnant.

I wasn't looking for it.

But it's done, and I'm going all the way,

like it or not.

This is no way to tell you,

but lately we haven't talked much.

It's not the weird phone calls, it's the stink of lies and death.

You stink of death, Eric.

I need some life in my life.

That's about it.

Why are you here'?

Still coming to Evry?

Evry?

- You forgot'? - Yes, Evry! Of course not!

You don't look well.

I slept badly.

I tried to talk to the boss, but...

My wife's pregnant.

Congratulations.

Isn't that what one's supposed to say'?

I don't know.

Know what it is'?

We all hope for a boy.

I mean, us fathers-to-be.

Hello. Leave me a message. Thanks.

Can I borrow your car when we're there'?

For 2 hours, I'll be back before the show.

There's also "cutting". It's done with a scalpel.

But it can leave scars.

- What's the idea? - Just marking yourself!

A way of reclaiming one's body.

I don't know any Cecile.

A young lady told him

her pimp's called Simon, a pal of yours.

It may explain this.

I don't do that yet.

You know Cecile's my daughter?

You'd better get out.

You know her, right'?

You may have her address.

I got nothing to say. Get out!

Hold this.

There's 2 rounds in it, but one'll do the job.

Simon isn't really her pimp. He farms her out.

- Who's the big man? - I don't know.

- You don't know'? - No, dammit to hell!

- Is Simon just into hookers'? - Hookers and dope.

Where do we find him'?

Dunno. I haven't seen him all week!

Get out, Pujol.

Wait.

A girl who works in S'? art forest. She may know.

"Caesar" and "caesarean" have the same origin.

The Latin verb cadere: To hit, to cut down.

Its past participle, caesum gave us caesar.

Caesar, the emperor,

who cuts you down with a sword, a blade.

So "caesarean" comes from the blade.

- That's interesting. - Thanks.

I wound up in public service, but first I was into letters.

I did fine in school, but I quit because my sister had a problem,

actually to do with childbirth...

I've thought it over, Mr Man'? I.

I can't come with you into the forest.

I understand. No problem.

This is all I can do.

Of course.

You were terrific. You did a great job.

Leave the shotgun with me.

I'm keeping it.

It's a dumb move. Leave me your gun.

Stop bugging me.

- Give it to me! - Cut it out!

It's Eric Vincent.

Can I stop by and see you'?

What for'?

I have to talk to you.

I'm parked in front of your home.

Are you alone?

Come on in.

The complication is I want to know,

and yet I also...

I wondered...

Are you my father'?

I could have been, but I'm not.

I mean I'm the right age. Historically,

I'd fit. But I'm not.

Do you have any kids?

No.

- And you'? - No.

Do you regret it'?

Yes, I do.

Very much.

The photo you showed me of you and my...

And Denis Segers.

How old were you'? 20'? 25'?

You knew each other a long time.

Did you know my mother, too'?

The fact is,

we drifted apart after World War ll.

In the end...

You're soothing, in a way.

I'm not the soothing element.

It's this old

and venerable house,

isn't it'?

I wouldn't know. No.

Do you think I smell of death?

Does death have a smell?

Of course it does.

It smells of shit.

But you...

You're not there, yet.

You reek of life!

I contacted you because I have an incurable disease.

I'll soon be dead.

But your mother is alive.

She's the lady you saw here.

There.

My kid sister.

What?

You're her son, her only son.

Which also makes you my nephew.

The problem is, she's insane.

Really insane.

She was too weak to speak you.

She always will be, anyway.

How old are you'?

32.

She's been insane 32 years.

- Because of me'? - No.

Because of your father.

Is she here'?

No. We hospitalized her this morning.

I hoped she'd benefit from seeing you.

But it did nothing.

Or rather, what it did

was raise her anguish,

her fears...

Anyway,

I thought

that by bringing you two together before I depart,

I'd be making amends.

Don't try to see her again.

Why did you do it'?

What did I do to you'?

You're killing me!

Now go away.

Close the door behind you,

and don't come back.

It's one of Joseph Arp's guys, Denis Segers.

Shit!

They filled his stomach with stones,

then sewed it up with wire.

But it didn't hold.

Did he murder DE Voll?

Possibly.

Where the hell am I'?

Look again.

I don't know her.

Do you know Simon?

Can't we just do our business?

This is my business. And I'm rushed.

Then let's drop it. Get out!

No, let's not. You'll see!

You'll see plenty!

What's the point'?

The point is the kid.

The stones replace the baby.

A dead person for a live one.

I lost a baby long ago.

That woman's baby will reappear.

I sense it...

What are you doing there'?

Hi.

I don't want any problems.

Take off your shoes!

- I can pay you... - You hear me'?

Throw them.

Lie on the ground!

I saw you pull up. You were alone.

- I wasn't. - Don't move and shut up, OK'?

I can explain...

Yeah, explain.

I'm listening.

Are you alone?

Anyone know you're here'?

Who?

My wife.

This guy won't quit.

Is the girl still here'?

Can I smoke?

You can have them.

The shoes, you can have them.

You gonna shut up'?

Wanna lose an eye'?

Come with me.

Shit!

Look at me!

Shit!

L-I-Io!

Christophe?

Fuckin' pain!

Where is he'?

Hiding in the back.

Get rid of Greg!

He's in the back!

Leave me alone with him.

I'll drive to town in his car. Stay here.

Next door.

Eric, I know you're here.

Come on out!

Now it really smells of death, right'?

Whose ashes were they'?

Who cares...

We should've met for a drink now and then.

It's not too late. I'm around.

Thanks to me.

I saved your life twice.

The first time was 32 years ago.

The second was yesterday.

Segers wasn't the fatherly type.

His eyes were bigger than his belly.

One day Segers killed a big shot.

DE Voll.

The others didn't like that.

Sol had to kill your father,

to save you.

And save my sister.

Now, young guys settle the problems.

Reassure me...

You don't care about that little whore'?

What will you do to her'?

They tried to steal from me, a dying man...

Come along!

Come!

What the fuck is this?

Luc, help me!

Don't move!

Got that? Don't move!

Cecile!

Answer me!

Shit!

Answer me!

Stop!

Stop!

Open up!

- Where are we'? - St. Fargeau.

- Is there a hospital? - In Corbeil.

- Go there, fast! - I can't!

Hurry! Can't you see she's hurt!

You'll be OK.

Would you marry me if you were single?

And we'd have kids?

Kiss me.

You're what's most precious here.

Destroying yourself to destroy them.

They're all the love you'll never have.

Cecile?

No, it's Pujol. You in the forest'?

Hello, Man'? I'?

Don't move, I'm coming.

Cecile...

- Can't you go faster'? - We're almost there.

Cecile, we're there.

Help me!

She's been shot!

Come along.

How long ago'?

Dunno, 15 minutes ago... 10 minutes...

Put her there.

Move over, please.

- She lost a lot of blood? - Dunno.

Fabrice?

Into the operating room.

Wait...

Come here.

You're bleeding.

It's nothing...

Will she make it'?

I don't know.

She's on the table.

She your girlfriend?

It's me.

You OK'?

I've been better.

Where are you'?

You reached me at home, OK'?

I'm sorry for what happened.

I'm really sorry.

I'm coming home.

When'?

Soon.

Will you be there'?

You don't smell of death.

Hello.

Put him on table 104.

Hear me, sir'?

Barred door

He sot any ID'?

- Says he lost it. - And the girl?

He doesn't know her name.

Sir!

- You know that man? - Yes!

Wait in the corridor.

When I know more, I'll tell you. OK'?

- OK. - Have a seat.

- How's he dressed? - He has short hair.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year 1976

Take some water to Mrs Arp. She's very thirsty.

Right away.

Thank you.

Joseph promised me...

Your brother'?

Promised you'd get your baby back?

How did he do it'?

Paid the full price.

What's his name?

Eric.

But I don't care.

We found a man, Denis Segers.

He paid the full price.

That's his son, isn't it'?

Come with me.

It's not the goal, it's the road.

I told them everything,

from the start...

Joseph Arp's body had disappeared.

The other bodies, too.

The house was empty.

Cardiac arrest in 1! Get a doctor!

Cecile told the cops I saved her life.

She told them over and over.

They finally believed her.

Sometimes I think this never happened,

that I stabbed no one,

that a good sleep would erase it all.

How do people manage?

They forget.

6 months ago

I visited the woman who bore me to give her the good news.

But she wouldn't speak to me.

Or couldn't.

Then a gift arrived for my daughter.

A little key said to open many doors.

I hope it does.

Cecile!
