THE AWAKENING

- Helene, it's Yann. - Yes, Yann?

- I just ran someone over. - Where is she?

You know what will happen if we take her back.

The WHO people will do experiments on her

and you'll be a laughing stock incapable of declaring death.

So for us as for you, she is dead.

- Are you drinking a lot? - No.

- She drinks too much. - How do you know?

- I watched her. - So you can read minds?

Yes, I can.

How can I have a son and not remember his mother?

- She was making you miserable. - So you can steal people's memory?

- I'm looking for Maria Chakina. - Who are you?

Her father.

He broke their neck, to all of them.

Who's that guy? The Terminator?

WHO, sworn official pains in the neck.

You cut yourself, Mr Peretti.

Do you mind if we do another blood test?

Tommy and I are carriers of the bacteria.

Jesus, Martin, you ran away from the hospital with your rat!

- Miscellium Jordanum? - The mould...

of the Jordanum is the most atrocious poison of Ancient Egypt.

It can absorb the humidity of any tissues, including...

those of living things.

- What's wrong with your hands? - It itches.

Your fingers are drying out.

- I'll go find Sophie. - Who is she talking about?

- Your daughter! - I don't have children.

You can't look for someone you don't know.

- She was my life. - She was HIS life!

He doesn't even remember her anymore.

You're wasting your time if you're here to talk to him.

He's in a coma and I'm afraid he won't wake up.

You're a guardian, Dr Ikchane.

Take my ring and destroy my daughter.

- You looking for someone? - We're here to see Thierry.

You must prevent them from meeting.

EPISODE 5 WITH M6'S COLLABORATION

May I have more?

Last time a guy drank three, he dropped dead.

Do I look stone dead?

I like your glasses.

- Can I borrow them? - You think I don't know you?

Really? You know who I am, that's great.

A year the police sends me bitches like you to trick me.

- Stop, it's my half sister. - Your half sister?

You wouldn't recognise your own mother, they're cops.

- Show me your documents. - I don't have any.

An illegal worker? I love it!

- I got this, if you want? - My gun!

- Jesus, Leslie. - Shut up, Bugsy.

Your half sister, isn't she?

So what? You came here to steal my glasses?

What's wrong?

Are you going to cry like your dumb friend?

Let's go.

- What did you take from him? - Nothing, I gave him something.

Are you okay?

- What did you give him? - My vision of him.

He saw himself through my eyes. I know where she is,

not if she's alive, but she's pregnant.

I hope you didn't make me come for nothing.

Don't worry, you won't regret it.

Last time you said that, I came for a beauty spot.

A giant congenital naevus covering 80% of the kid's body!

Do you think I can take pictures for the encyclopaedia of skin diseases?

I'm looking for something sensational!

You'll get what you bargained for!

- A dead guy. - Not an ordinary one.

Shit, what is that?

He was sent here yesterday.

That guy was alive yesterday?

I was here when they brought him in.

The cops brought him in.

He was unconscious. We had to be careful, he was violent.

Yeah, violent with a dinosaur a million years ago.

- I copied the report. - What's the illness?

I don't know, the autopsy is this morning.

Hurry, we can't leave Laura with the cop all night.

- Who's Laura? - The nurse.

How does she keep the cop busy?

A coffee and a mouth that opens on its own.

See, we're fine! We have all the time in the world.

- The sheet, please. - No!

Please, just one!

Come on, one!

Shit! Have you seen this?

Yeah, just a scar.

It's not a scar, it's a scarification.

I've seen that drawing somewhere.

- Come on, Francis, hurry! - Last one!

No, let's go!

The sheet!

There's nothing here.

- It's close now. - It's been close for 30 minutes.

- Where is it? - Slow down!

It's here.

Gire's daughter is here.

She's there.

Nobody lives here.

She's here.

Wait for me here.

The place will blow up in...

...six hours. You're mistaken.

I'm not.

DANGER - EXPLOSIVES

Ikchane!

I knew you'd be here.

I'm where the action is.

So, that mummy?

Died...

...in front of me.

I've never seen a man age that fast.

He aged of a few hundred years in a couple of hours.

- The fungus? - Not sure.

How about the analyses?

The fungicide slows down the evolution,

and we found an antibiotic, the bufotenin.

- Hekat. - Hekat?

The frog goddess of Ancient Egypt.

She personifies the vital energy, the ka.

She supervises births and resurrections.

What's the link?

The antibiotics.

The bufotenin is the alkaloid found in poisonous frogs fluids.

- So what? - So...

I mean that a sickness coming from ancient times

had a remedy in ancient times.

Ikchane, you're insane.

No!

Anti-poison, it means anti-infection.

They had antibiotics way before penicillin.

Everything is written, all we need is to decipher.

Everything's written. But nothing on our bacteria.

- Are others infected? - No!

It's impossible that thing has never been detected before.

Except if it's not from a natural evolution.

- What does that mean? - Boris Chakine, the mummy.

He seemed to know things about my past.

What kind of things?

He was a bit delirious.

It seemed like he read a file about me.

He moved around with fake Ukrainian documents.

His name is the anagram of mine.

Chakine - Ikchane.

Same letters in a different order. Strange, isn't it?

- KGB! - Why the KGB?

Do you remember the Karpov special missions?

Chemistry and bacteriology.

They were everywhere. Chechnya, Iraq.

The epidemic of lupus in the US Army, it was them for sure.

It's like a warning:

"leave us alone or we'll turn your army into mad cows."

Their agents had a funny habit.

They took as an alias the anagram of the name of their target.

Why would a Russian agent want to kill me?

Maybe because you're getting close to the truth.

Imagine the girl is a guinea pig that escaped from their lab.

Chakine is the agent in charge of getting her back.

He fails and as a punishment, they age him of over 3,000 years.

Why not?

Russians are capable to turn a model into a steak

with only a couple of drops of magic potion in a shot of vodka.

I studied there, I know what I'm talking about.

Svetlana...

The man was brain dead.

But he was still talking to me.

Russians can't do that.

Nobody can.

Have you checked the machines?

These things mess up.

The autopsy is tomorrow.

I'll be there.

No electricity obviously.

- How can we find her? - I don't know.

FORBIDDEN TO THE PUBLIC

Did you see something?

A big green room.

- Upstairs. - How? All accesses are blocked.

Through these stairs.

It's blocked too. Listen.

Let's call Gire, that's his daughter. He'll know what to do.

It will be too late, she's drugged and dying.

- These boxes are explosive! - We have no choice.

Wait!

Let's see. Let's see.

There you are.

This one is fun.

Print this one. Print! Print!

We're off!

That's an old man!

It's so hot in here, feels like hell.

I know I've seen it before.

Why are you looking for Sophie?

She's my friend.

My daughter disappeared six years ago.

- She's here. - I dumped her.

Give me some light.

Can you see something in her eyes?

- No... - Miss?

Miss?

Miss? Can you hear me?

I'm trying to find out what happened on her way from school to home.

A journey of 1,355 m. I do it every day.

Both ways.

I don't feel anything.

I do now.

The baby is alive.

If he's not out quickly, he won't survive.

Come on, answer.

Wait!

- Yes? - Morel, it's Yann. I need you...

Can't hear you. What?

- Is Mercier with you? - Yes, she is.

Meet me at the old factories in Aubervilliers.

- Are you writing it down? - Yes, I am.

The old factories, they're supposed to blow up tomorrow.

Come with the instruments to perform a C-section.

- What? - You've heard me.

- You're crazy? - Please hurry. I'll explain.

- Your wife? - The pain in the neck.

- The troublemaker. - Yann.

We need to meet him with the instruments for a C-section.

Mercier is an obstetrician, she'll know what to do.

- I'll wait for them downstairs. - Wait!

- You said it has to be done now. - Yes.

As soon as possible.

It was ten years ago. She died from a blood clot.

It wasn't your fault.

It was ten years ago.

Come on! Come back!

Come on! Come back!

Stay with me! Come on!

I'm opening.

Prepare the zone. Antiseptic. Scalpel.

- Scalpel, shit! - Yes, doctor.

It's over, Yann. Stop.

Yann, it's over now.

I know what you're feeling. Don't feel guilty, you did your best.

What best? Both the child and the mum died.

The foetus choked on the umbilical cord.

That's why you perform the C-section.

You know the job, the risk zero doesn't exist.

I chose nothing. It was my father's choice.

So someone can take care of his future tumours.

If he needed a lawyer, I would have done law school like a good boy.

- You're my best intern. - No, I'm done.

To become a man, you have to kill your father?

I think that day has come. I'm giving up.

- You didn't give up completely? - I gave up surgery.

- You didn't forget a thing. - Yes, I did.

Surgery is all about practise.

You think I have the instruments to perform a C-section?

Morel is on his way.

They'll be dead by then.

She and her child. You know it.

What a nightmare!

Try to find some water and clean towels.

It's the same mark on the Dolomites' mummy. Exactly.

I knew I took a picture of it before.

Bingo. It's the same one!

Great! I knew it!

This is Olivier.

Leave me a message and I'll phone you back.

Hello, Olive? It's Francis.

Call me as soon as possible.

I knew I saw it somewhere.

It's worth millions! We're rich!

Very rich! Bingo! Call me back!

Call as soon as you can. I'll call Jessica in the meantime.

To see if I'm still the loser of her heart.

Call me when you get back!

Hello?

Hello, Jessica. It's me.

Hello?

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

What does that symbol mean?

Without the black stone, it's the tree of life.

The cosmic double serpent.

The doctor's caduceus. The ADN.

And with the stone?

The triangle means the end.

It's cutting the tree so it means the end of all life on Earth.

No less!

There are three free spots, like it's missing some stones.

- I saw. - Anyway, it's junk.

It's not gold in any case.

- Do you want it assessed? - No!

I'll do it.

Ikchane, are you sure everything is alright?

What could be wrong?

Nothing...

Jesus, that coffee.

- It's not from the machine. - Nope.

You refuse to ever sleep again?

- Viruses don't sleep. - Sometimes, they do.

For a few thousand years.

Let's say I want to be ready for when they wake up.

It's pouring down.

Ikchane! Come and see!

- Where are they going? - A hotel, maybe.

With a bag full of medical supplies.

It's not our business.

Everything going in and out is my business.

- Yes, hello? - The Chinese?

Dr Morel is about to leave the hospital.

I want to know where he's going.

- Okay. - Thank you.

I don't trust Morel.

Since we came here, he's been lying.

- Are you sure? - He's lying to his wife, too.

What is he doing here?

DANGER - EXPLOSIVES

Hello?

- Is Yann here? - He's busy.

Hurry. We're on the first floor.

- Which zone? - The big building in front of you.

- Which zone?? - Hurry, Christophe.

Which zone??

- Crap, it was her. - Her who?

Her...

Can you climb the gate?

You'll see.

You could have put your underwear back on.

- You don't mind usually. - Usually, I don't,

but we still need to climb over dynamite boxes.

- I know. - I'd rather not be distracted.

Catch?

Yann!

Yes.

Think dynamite people stay on schedule?

Let's hope so.

If we survive, remind me to change friends.

Yann?

Here!

What have you done?

You should check the sutures.

Sorry!

- I'm not sure about what I've done. - I'll check.

She's in a coma.

I did my best.

It's a baby girl.

You did it.

She's very weak, she lost too much blood.

She needs a transfusion.

- We don't know her type. - Her!

- She's O negative. - Are you sure?

We took a million samples, but I'm not sure.

We have the material to give her a transfusion.

She'll be infected.

- She'll die if we do nothing. - Why are you against it?

- Because you're sick. - No, I'm not.

I'm not sick, I'm fine.

Martin and the rat are fine, everybody's fine.

What about Martin?

He's hiding at my place, he's infected.

This is getting better and better.

Christophe...

Do it.

You two leave. I'm handling the situation.

Where are you taking them?

I can't afford to contaminate all the hospitals.

We will tell the police you received the call.

- I came to help with Mercier. - Don't worry.

- Did you call the police? - One cop.

Dr Voline,

I heard my phone ringing but couldn't find it on time.

Your message sounded urgent.

What's going on here?

Is it her?

- Is it her? - Follow me.

- Is she... - Yes, but in a coma.

They'll take her to hospital for more tests.

My baby girl.

My baby girl.

Let me introduce you to your new baby girl.

I've never seen something so small.

She needs to put on some weight, we'll take her to the hospital.

Can I stay with them?

No problem, come with us.

We're running out of oxygen, we need to go.

Guys, let's go!

Doctor...

you're a true psychic.

I don't know if it's any use to repeat it one more time,

I'm not a psychic, I'm just a doctor.

I understand, you want to stay discreet.

I won't tell a soul.

Thank you anyway.

- Thank you very much. - Let's go.

You're a psychic now?

He's not looking at her if he believes it.

You need to promise me, about the bacteria.

If it turns out it's pathogen,

you bring everybody back to the hospital.

No problem. No need to whisper, she knows what you're thinking.

She gives me the creeps. You not?

- I won't let her down. - I got it.

Leave now.

Take care.

Let's go.

- Still cold? - No.

- Just a bit tired. - Good, maybe you'll sleep.

It's not this kind of tired.

I'm tired of being different.

Not like other women.

Would you love me if I was like everybody else?

- It's a stupid question. - Why?

You can read my mind, you know the answer.

Sometimes, in someone's mind, there are small forests,

with trees so close to each other you can't come in.

Let's leave your forests and let's go!

Sorry I'm late, I'm Dr Ikchane, from WHO.

- The murder weapon. - What is it?

A fishbone that pierced the poor guy's throat.

Bruises on the right elbow and on the right side of the skull

caused by his fall.

Francis Nadal: case closed.

Does it happen often?

There are lots of stupid ways to die, it's just one among many.

Why are you here?

You should have received an official fax about Mr Boris Chakine.

Yes, Chakine.

I'll deal with him...

by the end of the afternoon, okay?

No, it's an urgent case.

They're all urgent cases!

They're dead, they're not in a hurry, but no, it's urgent.

And I have policemen, judges

waiting for my reports. So your urgent case...!

With their stupid ADN,

they exhume corpses for a second autopsy.

How can I cope?

They send me interns that faint as I grab a scalpel.

Urgent or not, I deal with them by time of arrival.

Otherwise, it's a mess!

We need to know right now what killed that man!

What's special about him?

- Look, you'll understand. - I'm intrigued.

- What's his name again? - Boris Chakine.

Here we are.

It's a bag of decontamination.

Let's move him.

He was the carrier of an ancient fungus and had to be decontaminated.

Give me a hand.

I thought WHO didn't like joking.

I talked to him last night.

According to you, how old was he?

60, maybe a bit more.

People who saw him before me described him as a 50-year-old giant.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Male, around 60 years old.

Caucasian.

White hair, used to be black.

Dead for...

Eleven hours.

Plus a few thousand years before Christ.

Eleven hours.

Benign scars

on his arms, torso and legs.

Some are accidental

and others look like intentional scarifications.

- For medicinal purposes. - Medicinal scarifications?

A common treatment 4,000 years ago.

He was maybe against modern medicine. Look!

It's the tip of the V.

It seems to show a particular direction.

Underneath the skin,

on the arrow, we can feel a bit of bone,

proof of the remodelling of the bone.

Badly, I must add,

because the humerus is not properly in line.

- What about this one? - This one...

This one looks like...

It looks like the same thing, except...

The tissues are not altered.

It looks more like a birthmark.

It's hot in here all of a sudden. Aren't you hot?

No, I'm not.

I'm telling you, it's hot in here. Very hot.

The AC, it's...

Three times it broke down, three times we changed the fuse...

It's not good for my customers.

Can I open him?

Please, do your job.

You're sure I'm allowed, I don't want to be in trouble

with the President of the Louvre.

You won't get into trouble. Please proceed.

Okay...

Let's do it.

Incision of the sternum.

- No more water. - Since when?

This morning.

Show me.

It's not getting better.

Have you been in contact with chemicals?

No.

Does it hurt?

I feel like I have red ants in my hand.

It's bearable.

You should see a dermatologist.

We're also out of milk.

I just bought a six pack.

Tommy drinks a lot.

He drank six litres of milk?

I helped a bit. It's strange,

I can't digest it usually.

If it was the only strange thing...

When is he going to leave me alone?

- Who's there? - A cop.

- The police are here? - I'll get rid of him.

Dr Voline, I hoped you were home.

I spent the night at the hospital with my granddaughter.

- Is she sick? - On the contrary.

She drank her bottle this morning, she put on 50 grams.

It's a good sign.

It's my daughter, Sophie.

Her brain doesn't show any activity.

Her heart is still beating.

Because of the machine.

People in a coma can wake up.

Not if they're brain dead.

I've been waiting for her for six years,

I can wait a bit longer.

- I'm so sorry. - You need to talk to her.

- It's pointless. - Talk to her.

- Tell her the words. - Lieutenant, it's ridiculous,

I don't know how to say it again, I'm just a simple doctor.

I'm not a psychic, I can't read cards, I don't talk to the dead.

For the last time, I have no powers.

You resuscitated her!

Look at this!

Look, it's unbelievable.

The lungs are completely dried out.

Unbelievable, look at the heart.

Looks like a dried lemon.

All the organs are at their place but fossilised.

I bet that if I open his skull,

we'll find a lyophilised mushroom instead of the brain.

It's possible.

I thought they eviscerated mummies.

It's not a mummy.

Then what do you call this?

Can you check if this mark is a birthmark?

Look, it's not a scarification at all.

Not at all.

It's a birthmark.

We can see the mark on the upper part of the pelvic bone.

I'll take samples.

Tell me, if your fungus did this,

you are in a serious trouble.

I have to expect a large delivery of dried meat?

That's not what killed him.

Look at this.

Can you grab it?

You're right, there's something there.

What is that thing?

What's this?

- A bag of Jordanum. - A bag of what?

Jordanum.

A plant that disappeared 4,000 years ago.

The embalmers of the City of the Dead

used it to embalm the cursed Pharaohs.

Look!

The bag was ripped and started pouring its content.

That's what killed him.

Did he swallow it?

Probably.

Cause of death:

ingestion of a deadly plant

that disappeared 4,000 years ago.

- Can I write it in my report? - You can't.

There will be no report.

If I don't...

it's no good.

What are you doing here?

I repeat, what are you doing here?

I'm here for the AC.

Go then, I'm boiling in here.

- How did he die? - Why do you care?

He was a friend, he called me last night.

He choked on a fishbone.

Where are they getting these guys from?

Security...

Jordanum?

It works.

It works?

Are you taking the piss?

It's like with the water evacuation, the drain is blocked.

What a mess, that hospital!

Give me the fuse.

I have to do everything, plumber, electrician, doctor...

Do you need a doctorate to change a fuse?

Have a look.

Why are we back here?

I have to...

The cop will tell on us if I don't pretend to heal Sophie.

Why don't we leave far away, where nobody can find us?

Why? Because I have...

a son, a house, a job. Well...

I had before meeting you.

Now I feel like an outlaw wanted by a cop who thinks I'm Jesus.

Don't leave me alone.

- Someone will hurt me. - Who?

- Who wants to hurt you? - I don't know.

I can feel them getting closer.

You know, people who lost their memory

feel vulnerable at some point.

Right now, your whole world evolves around... me.

That's why you're so scared when I leave.

It will stop when you get your memory back.

You probably have a boyfriend somewhere and when you'll remember,

you'll forget about me.

I'll be really quick and I need to see someone for my hand.

Then we'll go home.

A house that won't belong to us.

That's okay.

I'll rent something. I'm not that attached to that house.

- Could you give him? - You're selling the house?

Our house.

I was forgetting about it.

I'll admit, I can't imagine living somewhere else.

I'll ask Virginie to wait before selling.

I'll get a loan to buy her share.

Is that alright?

I need to go. I'm leaving you my phone.

If I'm late, I'll call you.

Okay? I'll leave it here.

I'll be fast and I'm locking the car. You'll be safe.

Don't move.

Feeling better?

It's the curse of the mummy.

Calm down, there's no curse.

I've heard you talk about the cursed Pharaohs.

Cursed by their own people enslaved to build the pyramids.

They were so afraid that the pyramids

will be robbed by those who built them,

that they got embalmed somewhere else.

There's no mysterious curse.

My friend took his photo and died.

The ME did the autopsy and he died.

Your friend took photos of Boris Chakine?

When?

- Last night. - It wasn't allowed.

No harm, no foul.

What were you going to do with them?

That was Francis' job.

He left me a message where he said he was right,

- we were going to be rich. - Right about what?

He was talking about a mark, on the hip.

He said he saw it before.

- Get these photos. - Why?

Because the body of Boris Chakine belongs to the WHO,

you committed an international crime.

- I don't have his keys. - Find a way.

And I won't say anything about your racket.

Call me when you have them.

Don't forget to grab the camera as well.

Jordanum...

Nobody's going to believe him.

He's a cop, they will.

Yann, getting fired is one thing, but that means going to prison.

She is brain dead. She has the bacteria,

plus all the drugs she took, hepatitis C, positive for serology!

- The baby? - Not great.

Serology is fine.

But the tests are not good.

- The brain is damaged. - Did you tell the cop?

No, you're the great shaman.

Be delicate, so he doesn't shoot us.

- Shit. - Yeah, shit.

Blood results of the patient, Sophie Gire.

Beware, bacteria detected.

Ikchane.

The bacteria is back, find Ikchane.

Hello, I'm Dr Ikchane, I have an appointment.

Please wait.

- Where is Dr Ikchane? - No idea.

You, come with me.

I don't give a crap about your affair with Dr Morel.

But you're going to explain what you were doing there

and who's the girl you brought back.

She's a carrier of the bacteria.

Tell her the words.

Stop it with your words.

The ones you said to your friend when she was sick.

Please, Yann, tell her.

I'll stay with you.

Maybe she didn't hear you.

I'll stay with you.

What's going on here?

Get out of this room now!

- Take their blood. - I had one already.

You'll get another.

I'm not really a fan.

I'm sure she will hold your hand.

Who are you?

Hello, I'm Dr Yann Voline.

He's the doctor that got the call for her.

You weren't alone?

No, I have an associate.

A lot of night doctors are being assaulted.

All of you wait for me at the lab.

No, you stay here.

You have a bunch of things to explain.

I don't like the manners of this woman.

You're not the only one. Can I borrow your phone?

- I need to call someone. - Please.

They're getting smaller and smaller,

I can never answer on time:

they ring twice and then the voicemail takes over.

I have no idea who to set it. Do you?

I'll manage. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Look at this. It's not a scarification at all.

It's a birthmark.

So, doctor?

I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

You're fine.

If I had a foreign object in my stomach,

- you would see it? - Of course.

I can assure you, your stomach is empty.

That's maybe the problem. You should grab a bite.

- Is it still painful? - Less.

Must be nerves.

Do you want painkillers?

No, I'll be fine.

Yann, don't leave me alone.

- Someone is going to hurt me. - Who?

NEXT TIME

- Is she here? - I thought you were together.

I came to see you.

It's about a murder.

I need to show you something.

- Stay away from me. - Why are you afraid?

You didn't find us a swindler, by any chance?

Have you been in contact with Boris Chakine?

What happened to them?
