Alex Hugo Remorseful

Angelo for Alex.

Angelo for Alex.

Alex for Leblanc.

Alex, copy me?

Alex?

- What's wrong? - It was Alex.

Reception was bad. There's a problem.

What did he say?

He's hurt. I don't know if it's serious.

You know where he is?

Alex for Angelo.

Alex, hear me?

Angelo for Alex.

Angelo for Alex.

Angelo...

Angelo?

You're positive?

The weather won't get better. Forget the chopper.

Ah, Émilie! When did he leave?

2 days ago. He went far. He wanted to go to a summit.

He didn't tell you where?

He never does. But he took his climbing gear.

If he wanted to go up to a summit,

he must be at Le Pinier.

He's been talking about it for months. I'm sure he's there.

But which way did he go?

In this period, there aren't many options.

It's blocked here and here. He's gone by Terres Blanches

before walking along the ridge of the top of Serre-Eyraud.

- That's what I would do. - When can we leave?

We can be ready in one hour.

I'll grab my gear. Meet you here.

Angelo, it's a 2-day walk and the weather's bad.

Don't even try, I'm coming.

It's not negotiable.

We'll cross the glacier to get to le Pinier.

We'll separate when we exit the coomb.

We can't see the crevasses, so walk in my steps.

Give me some rope and put the crampons flat.

Let's go!

Jean for Nico.

Copy, go ahead.

We found something at the foot of the wall. It's Alex's ice axe.

Continue to comb the area.

He unhitched.

Guess he searched for shelter.

Jean.

The fog must have impeded his visibility.

Alex knows the mountains.

He crossed through.

I'm certain.

Stop, Angelo. It's dangerous, here.

- Alex! - What are you doing? Stop!

- Alex! - Stop!

- Stop! - Alex!

We've been searching for hours. We won't find him.

He can't have crossed in the middle of a storm.

Angelo, he's fallen.

Alex!

- There's no point yelling. - He's here, in one of these holes.

He can hear us.

Alex!

We're too late.

We can't search the whole glacier, with crevasses over 40 m deep.

It's shaking like a house of cards.

Alex!

Angelo!

Angelo, it's over.

The mountain's got him, now.

Who are you?

I need a doctor.

Did you see who made me fall?

Did you see who caused the scree?

Why aren't you answering?

What are you doing here all alone?

Why did someone want to kill me?

We all know alex.

He loved the mountains and...

And he hated long talks.

He's better up there than underground.

That's his place.

That's it.

Bye, alex.

- He should have never gone alone. - Yeah.

I wouldn't have gone alone.

- Hello. - Hello.

Angelo's here?

It's the wrong time to see Angelo.

It's about my son. I need to see him 5 minutes.

Later, ok?

- What's wrong? - I'm sorry.

I know I'm falling badly.

- It's Ludo. - He's disappeared.

He's not answering,

I'm falling on his answerphone all the time.

I don't know what happened to him.

Come, tell me.

I'm sure he's in trouble.

What happened?

He can be hard at times, but he's not a bad son.

He always comes to see me. He calls me on Sundays.

When was the last time you spoke to him?

One week ago.

Oh! It's not the first time it's happened, right?

He might have gone out with pals or met a girl. Don't you think?

Angelo, he's hanging around with bad guys.

I tried talking to him,

but he doesn't listen to me anymore.

You know those guys?

- You saw them? - They're from the town.

Don't worry. I'll find your Ludo.

Come, let's go.

- It's ok? - Yes, thanks.

Renart's not in good shape.

I'll go and see him.

Thanks.

Why don't you come with us?

No.

To alex.

"to alex."

Leblanc...

Right, I'm off.

He's sleeping here tonight.

Isn't it, Renart? You're staying with us.

Thanks to the mountain air, your head won't ache in the morning.

How long have you been a cop?

- It'll make 10 years next summer. - Wow!

Not bad!

Come on.

Let's go.

It's been 15 years for me.

Yep.

No wife, no kids.

The cops are my family.

- 10 years? - Yes, "10 years".

Come on, let's go.

Thanks for staying.

It's natural.

We'll cope.

We always do.

I'm fed up of coping.

Don't leave me alone tonight.

Please don't leave me alone tonight.

Why did he go so far this time?

We'd split.

We said we'd never fool ourselves.

That's what's nice with guys like him.

They don't make you believe they'll change.

- Émilie. - I'm leaving, Angelo.

There's nothing for me, here.

Tell me, Leblanc.

When?

Last night?

What did he take from you?

3 boxes of antibiotics, compresses, plasters,

painkillers and thread for sutures.

- He didn't take the till? - Nope.

He stole for about 20 euros.

Thanks, Claude. I'll keep you informed.

Thanks.

This guy knew exactly what he wanted.

Anyway, he's not from the area. I'd never seen him.

Then what's he doing here? It's not the touristic season.

Thought he looked like a tourist?

I know this is not Gstaad, but still.

Thanks for coming.

You mind checking your files?

Want me to investigate on plasters being stolen?

Sorry. I'm not quite myself these days.

Show me.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

How did it go?

You were right.

It's always hard to bid farewell to one's colleagues.

Take care.

Yeah.

Dorval. What is it?

No, he's just left on a job.

Lighten the picture.

Remove his beard.

Shorten his hair.

Put glasses, small ones, with a thin frame.

Replay the video.

Stop there.

Zoom on that.

Can you clear that?

Processing

Aspiring Mountain Guide Lusagne

Can I have a print?

Is your father in?

Hi, Tanner.

Hello.

- Doesn't Ludovic Fraye work here? - He does. Why ask?

His mother's not seen him since last week.

- Did he come to work, lately? - Well...

10 days ago, he asked me for leave without pay.

- I haven't seen him since. - Really?

In the middle of the cutting season? Is that usual?

It's not. It doesn't happen often, but he's unlike others.

He's not a sawmill fan. He prefers the mountains.

But, ever since his accident, well...

he's at a loose end in the valley.

Do you know if he was in trouble lately?

What trouble?

Bad encounters. Did you see anything unusual?

I've known him since he was a kid, but I'm not his father.

I have no idea what he does after work.

- Mind if I speak to the guys? - Go ahead.

Hello.

Hi, guys.

Ludo Fraye,

you know him?

We do.

Do you get along well?

Well, Ludo is a first-class bugger,

so, it's not easy to get along with him.

He pisses off everybody.

Nobody can stand him.

The boss puts up with that?

"The boss..." The boss has other things to do.

He's a single dad.

Alain's a good fellow.

He helps out everybody.

Ludo's forever letting him down.

He's always late. Disrespectful.

I'd have fired him.

Really? Why didn't he do it?

Because of his mother.

He knows her well, Pauline.

She's had some trouble.

So, to help her out, he took on her son.

You know the guys he's knocking around with?

Well, Ludo, with all the dough he spends in clubs,

he's full of friends.

Where's the money from?

It's not with what we earn here that he can spend like that.

OK, see you.

Tanner sawmill payslip

I checked his bank statements. He helps his mother pay the rent.

Nothing's wrong.

OK.

You can go, I'll close up.

- You're sure? - Yes, go, now.

Alex!

Alex!

You're alive? Shit!

How can that be?

It's amazing!

We found your bag! Where were you?

How did you manage?

We buried you, Alex.

I must tell everyone. I'm calling Émilie.

It wasn't an accident, up there.

Someone wanted to kill me.

What?

I don't know who it was and I don't see why.

Who'd want to kill you, Alex?

How could I know?

It can't be someone from here.

The guy who tried to kill me knows the mountains very well.

He knew where I'd pass. He was waiting for me.

It's he who caused the scree that made me unhitch.

I'll need you.

You're hurt?

I'm calling a doctor.

I don't want anyone to know I've come back.

You said you buried me? It's better like that for the moment.

What am I supposed to do?

And you?

You hide while I lie to everybody?

No. What about Émilie?

We must find that guy first.

He used explosives to make me fall.

You can't be serious. We can't pretend you're dead.

Just for a few days,

till I understand what's happening.

Who uses explosives, here?

"Explosives"?

You know it yourself. Besides the piste guys,

I don't know who would...

Wait on. Ludo.

Ludovic Fraye.

Yes, because...

he works at the sawmill, but...

He is a pisteur.

Wait on, he disappeared the same time you did.

The same day.

No. I know Ludo, he can't be involved in this.

He's no more the nice chap with whom you went mountaineering.

His mother told me he was with bad guys.

He might have messed up.

What are you doing?

If he's messed up, then he's hiding.

Can you lend me a coat?

You know where to find him?

His father's got a cabin in Jallet forest.

I'll go and see.

You weren't at home, so I came here.

I've come to say goodbye.

My train's leaving in 2 hours.

You're already leaving?

You're really sure of yourself? Isn't it a bit fast?

I've already taken too long.

You're making a mistake, Émilie.

Alex,

you won't forget him by leaving.

I'm not trying to forget him, Angelo.

I'd have gone anyway.

I'm not sorry about the other night. It was nice.

But I need to move on.

Take care of yourself, OK?

Office of guides and accompaniers of LUSAGNE

You OK?

I thought work would change my mind.

But actually, it's worse.

Then take your day off.

- I'll manage. - Don't worry.

But something's going on tickling my mind. What Alex told me.

Maybe he was joking,

but the more I think of it, the more I feel it was true.

What did he say?

He told me that one day he'd go up there

and we'd never see him again.

I found Ludo's body. Meet me at the cabin.

There's a problem?

No. Nothing. I...

Something I forgot to do.

Apparently, they tried to make him talk.

Who?

Listen to this.

Hi, Alex. It's Ludo. It's been a while.

I need to talk to you, it's important.

When was that?

He called me after I'd left.

From what we see, he died soon after.

- What's it got to do with you? - Someone tried to kill me,

a kid wants to talk to me but gets killed. It's not an accident.

What would he want to tell you?

Saw his fists?

There are no marks.

He didn't fight. He knew the ones who did that to him.

They caught him by surprise.

- He was set up? - Oh yes!

It's often your closest friends who stab you in the back.

Alex!

You must find those guys.

Contact Dorval at the homicide department.

And what are you going to do?

You disappear, reappear, give out orders.

OK, I screwed up. Believe me, I do know. But you?

You know her pain?

She thinks you're dead. You realise you're not alone?

You realise the harm you've caused?

A guy saw it all. I must find him.

You're going back up with all that's happened?

You'll manage without me. I don't want to stay.

Go back to your glaciers. Everything's purer up there!

Just leave us in our shit.

You deserve better, isn't it, Alex?

Keeping your cap on?

Wear that. Super.

- There. Don't forget this. - Yes.

There, take another one.

- Are you Jean Fargeot? - I am.

I was told I'd find you here. Commissioner Dorval.

- Can I talk to you? - Yes.

You take care of them. I'll meet you up.

Is this from your place?

It is. It's the badge of an aspiring guide.

Could you give me the list of the last 10 years?

There were 3 of them.

Camille Drumont, Ludo Fraye and my son Michel. Why?

What are they doing now?

Two are guides here.

And Ludo had to stop.

What happened to him?

He had an accident, he couldn't climb anymore.

What happened?

He tried a winter ascent alone. He got stuck for 10 days.

He got frostbites; he lost some toes.

You went searching for Alex?

- You know him well? - I do.

- Was he a good mountaineer? - He was.

A tough guy.

He knew the mountains well.

We're all very sad about him.

Help me figure out something.

One guy dies within 48 hours,

and the other survived after 10 days in the cold?

That's how it goes, up there. Ludo was lucky,

that's all. - Or he had a better guardian angel.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Hello. Commissioner Dorval.

Does Ludovic Fraye live here?

Did you find him?

Not yet.

Can I ask you some questions?

- Angelo has sent you? - Yes.

You work with him?

Was your son an aspiring guide?

He was.

Why? Has it got something to do with him missing?

We don't know yet, but we're checking every lead.

Apparently, many people were impressed with him.

I heard about his feats.

My Ludo was the best. All the guides said so.

He'd have shown them all what he could do.

How old was he on this photo?

17. His first 4,000 m ascent.

- Can I see his room? - Oh yes.

Here, come and see.

The mountains are in his blood.

He wanted to climb the highest summits,

travel across the world.

Ludo would have been a star.

You knew Alex?

We were very close.

Alex was like a big brother to Ludo.

When he came to Lusagne, Ludo taught him everything.

They ascended quite a few summits.

He told you what happened up there, when he had his accident?

He was too affected. He never spoke about it.

Him missing might be related to his accident.

If you know of anything, you must tell me.

What happened actually?

He didn't manage on his own.

A man saved him.

A weird guy who lives up there all the time.

He never comes down.

A mountain man?

Ludo said he'd go back to search for him.

I sometimes wonder if he didn't go mad, there,

and made up all this story.

That man, did he ever find him?

Excuse me.

Dorval. Tell me.

Yes, Angelo.

OK.

I'm on it. I'll send the forensics and...

and I'll inform the family.

Yes, I'm in the area. I'll be there in one hour.

They found your son.

I'm sorry.

I'm really so sorry.

He didn't die here.

He died from a brain haemorrhage owing to the blows.

The hematomas on the ankles and wrists are post-mortem.

It's a corpse that was tied up.

Thanks. Please send over the results.

I will.

I don't get it.

Why tie him here, if he's dead, instead of getting rid of him?

Who discovered the murder scene?

I did.

And what brought you here?

Because I was certain he was hiding,

that he'd seen something, that he'd messed up, you see.

But to think he'd end up like this...

Excuse me.

Dorval, speaking.

I've got the phone calls.

Ludovic Fraye.

Nothing interesting. His mother has a job,

her friends, men and women,

But his last call is quite strange. Listen to this.

"Hi, Alex. It's Ludo.

"It's been a while. I need to talk to you."

"Alex"? Alex Hugo?

Yes, correct.

Check Alex's line.

The victim might have called him from another phone.

Ah no!

The line's dead since last week. Just a text this morning.

You're sure?

The recipient is Angelo Batalla.

Shall I read it?

"I found Ludo's body, meet me at the cabin."

Locate Alex's mobile and send me the info.

So?

Nothing interesting for the moment.

Dig into Ludo's family and friends, and call me when you find something.

- Have a minute? - What for?

Something I'd forgotten.

Can you tell me if the guy's got a record?

You're a bit late, my boy.

It was done 2 days ago.

- Dorval's on it. - "Dorval"?

- You identified him? - She seemed to know who he was.

Let me show you.

Give me his name.

Crêpes - Rooms Restaurant - Bar

- Hello. - Hello.

Christine Dorval's room?

- Room 4, second floor. - Thanks.

Why didn't you tell me anything?

Think you can do this by yourself, discreetly?

What would you do face to face with him?

I know what this guy took from you.

No, you don't know a thing. It was my family. You can't understand.

It's not for you to make him pay.

You know that's not how it works. We can't do justice ourselves.

We're not cops because we want to revenge our family.

If you kill him, your life's over, Christine.

She was expecting another child.

We can't see that on the photos.

That guy, she loved him, she gave him everything.

And he cheated on her.

He was forever stoned.

One day, he was coming home, completely boozed.

He was driving like a madman.

He hit them. And instead of calling for help, he ran off

and let them croak.

His wife, his daughter, his own family.

My sister crawled 20 m, trying to call for help.

How do you intend finding him?

- Someone will lead me to him. - What are you talking about?

You don't know anyone, here.

Alex will help me find him.

"Alex"?

He's not dead.

It's he who saved him in the mountains.

It was him, at the pharmacy.

If you've got questions, go and ask Angelo.

OK. It's every man for himself?

Yes.

Let me tell you something.

I'm still a cop,

and I won't allow you to do this. - So what? You'll rat on me?

A kid was massacred in Lusagne. He was all his mother had.

You're a cop. Go and do your job. Go and help her.

You don't ever give up.

You should rest if you don't want your wound to open up.

Why are you following me like that?

The day you saved me, someone had tried to kill me.

I know you saw him.

He's dangerous, I must stop him.

You walked for two days in this state to ask me this?

Why did you save me?

You live alone here.

You don't want people to see you.

And you risked all that to save my life?

Why didn't you let me croak?

Why're you living here?

I didn't talk about you, no one knows you exist.

People think I'm dead.

And do you like being dead?

Down there, life hurts me. I don't know why.

This is the only place where I feel good.

That's why you're following me?

You want to be like me?

Think I'm free here? That I can do what I want?

This place is a real prison.

You must be an animal to survive here.

So you'd better have a good reason to punish yourself like that.

If I tell you what you want to know, will you leave me alone?

I will.

OK?

I need it right now.

What do we do about Alex's office?

What d'you mean?

We can't pretend he's coming back.

- What do you want to do? - No idea.

It's morbid to leave things untouched.

What do I do with his mail?

Put it on his desk.

And we'll see to it later.

You've got one hour max.

I'm taking over the investigation on Ludovic Fraye.

Tell me what all this is about.

What's this rubbish about Alex?

He didn't have an accident. Someone tried to kill him.

Perhaps the one who killed Ludovic.

So, Alex would like the murderer to believe he succeeded.

With you, there's always surprises.

And is that one aiming for an Oscar or is it that you didn't tell him?

He can't keep a secret.

OK. Come with me. I have to question the victim's mother.

Pauline.

I need to talk to you.

I'm with a lieutenant from the Marseilles homicide squad.

We need to figure out who did that to Ludo.

You want to know who?

It's this thing.

It took away all I had: my man, my son.

It's the only place where they were happy.

This is where he died. It should have kept him.

Look, ma'am. I know nothing about mountains.

I'm here to find those who killed your son.

Who was he with?

They weren't from here.

Ludo stayed in the city. He'd become a stranger.

No one ever came here?

Just once. He asked some guys to drive him back.

You'd recognise them?

I know this one!

I saw him at Tanner's. He does the cutting.

- Rings a bell? - I've never seen him.

Got his record?

Victor Kuzman, aged 32.

Many charges for assault and battery, car robberies

and attempted extorsion.

I spoke to him.

He knew Ludo, but he didn't care for him.

You carry on. I'm off to the sawmill.

Shall we?

We found Ludo's body.

He died some time ago. It wasn't an accident.

Poor kid.

- Victor Kuzman's working today? - Not today. Why?

- He's involved? - No idea.

You know he had a record?

It's a hard job. If I didn't take on guys like that,

I wouldn't manage.

Tell me about him.

Victor? He works well, quiet, but he...

he's just been released.

Yes? And so what?

Well, it's not easy to cut away from that life.

He still hangs around with bad guys.

You saw them?

No. Well, maybe a couple of times, they came to pick up Victor.

They're not from the area.

What did they look like?

Like guys who don't work to earn their dough.

The kind of guys you don't want to mess around with.

Kuzman has a locker here? Anything?

Yes, he does.

I've already seen this one.

He was at the wheel when they brought back Ludo.

"Serge Bernes." You're sure?

Name: Bernes First name: Serge

Alex Hugo Rural police 05122 LUSAGNE

Serge Bernes?

What do you want?

- Ludovic Fraye, rings a bell? - No.

His mother recognised you.

You drove him back one evening. What are you two up to?

I have no idea what you're talking about, Inspector.

I see morons every day, but I'm in no mood today.

Ludo was found dead yesterday. His face was smashed up.

So, if you dare say another lie, you're going to regret it dearly.

Ludo's a client.

He's a big gambler.

Poker, blackjack, craps, you name it.

He bets a lot, too.

Ludo's a staker.

The more money he has, the more he bets,

the more indebted he is. And that's a hell of a cocktail.

Who did he owe money to?

Me.

More than 15 000.

I could have shaken him up, but I had no reason to bump him off.

Because that money, I can forget about it, now.

You look good for someone who's dead since 10 days.

You didn't do that plaster.

Who stitched up your belly?

Where is he?

No idea what you're talking about. Give me your phone, to call Angelo.

I've got info about the kid who was killed.

Ludovic Fraye?

Yes. I know who killed him.

Poor Pauline, she's so unlucky.

You knew Ludo's father had a cabin?

I did. We'd go hunting there.

- It's still in one piece? - It is.

The guys knew about it?

Perhaps.

Sometimes, we went to cut wood close by.

I don't like that forest. It's dark, wet, cold.

A nasty place to croak.

Let me know if there's anything new.

Shit!

Tanner!

You won't get away, Tanner.

All my men are in the forest.

No one will know what happened.

Why did you kill him? He was just a kid.

That kid, I did all I could to help him.

I welcomed him, I gave him a job.

But to thank me,

he wanted to take all I had.

So, we fought.

But I never meant to kill him. It was an accident.

It's not against you, Angelo, but...

this business is...

it's all I have.

How did you know?

Ludo filmed Tanner setting fire to this place.

I assume it was for the insurance.

Ludo was blackmailing him. That's why he had that dough.

Ludo sent the proof to Alex.

He must have felt in danger. And since Alex is no longer here,

nothing happened as planned.

And Tanner tried to kill Alex.

"Kill Alex"?

- You OK? - The bullet went through.

Where's the other one?

Get out of there.

Hands on your head.

There were 2 of them. Tanner and his son.

It's Alex who told me.

"Alex"?

Ah, I must tell you something about Alex.

All's sorted out in the village.

Now, tell me where to find the guy who stitched you up.

Think you owe him?

Do you only know who you're protecting?

Why are you after him?

He's a former head of ER.

He hit my sister who was pregnant and her daughter,

and ran away.

He vanished in the wild.

I've been searching for him for 10 years.

Each time I miss him.

Everyone thinks he's dead except me.

I won't let him go.

Only you can help me find him, Alex.

Without you, I don't stand a chance.

You think your life is worth more than a mother and her daughter?

In any case, you have no choice. You're a cop, just like I am.

If we find him, let me arrest him.

He must have crossed this pass.

What are you doing?

We'll never get across this pass at night time.

You don't have to go all the way.

I can go alone.

I can see you're hurt, Alex.

You said you've been searching for him for 10 years?

Why do you think he came here?

Huh?

Why didn't he go to a desert beach or island?

Why did he come to hide here?

No idea. I don't know what he thinks and I don't care.

Because he didn't come to hide.

I know why he saved Ludo and why he saved me.

He's haunted by what he's done.

You want him to pay? He's been paying for 10 years.

What will it change to lock him up?

It's not for him to decide.

Turn around.

Turn around!

On your knees.

On your knees!

Stop!

Let go of her!

Let go of her.

No.

Drop that stone, don't do that.

Don't do that.

I'll say I shot.

But you won't be a cop anymore.

No one needs to know what happened.

It's enough of a mess.

Dad

How long had Ludo been blackmailing your dad?

How long had your dad been paying?

Dunno.

Since the fire, right?

You father set fire to the warehouse to get the insurance.

Why did he kill Ludo?

He was becoming greedier to pay up his debts?

Ludo's a bastard.

He was always making fun of me.

So, loony?

Your father makes you work even on Sundays?

What now?

I've come for my bonus.

You've already robbed enough. Get lost!

Hi, Alex. It's Ludo.

It's been a while. I need to talk to you. It's important.

I mailed the video.

You're lucky. He's in the mountains.

If you're good, I'll try and get it back.

So, where's my envelope?

Damn! You're really some scum. Get lost!

And you didn't feel bad to swindle the insurance.

Get lost before I kick you out!

Give me my dough, you moron!

It's OK, enough!

Enough, you're going to kill him! Stop that!

Stop, you'll kill him!

Stop! Listen here!

And you moved the body.

You tied him up to pretend it was a brawl.

And then you had no choice.

You had to get rid of Alex.

It's my father who wanted that.

But I like Alex.

Take care of yourself.

Don't ever do that again.

So?

I like it.

Yes.

Did you talk to Émilie?

Yes. She's gone back to Africa.

She's working for an NGO.

She seemed happy.

Happy to know you were alive?

Happy to know we're still friends.

Hey, by the way...

I read your speech.

What you said about me was nice.

I made a nice tomb, a nice speech,

I caught the guy who's after you,

but you still have to take the mickey out of me.

I'm not, Angelo.

I know.

What do we do with this?

Leave it.

It'll eventually blend in the landscape.
