Previously on Witnesses

He's a guy, he snatches women,

he gets rid of all their previous guys.

He has chosen you. He comes to your place.

What is he looking for?

The identities of the guys you've been with?

To get rid of them and put them in a freezer?

Sorry, Sandra, but you're off the case.

You'll be under protection. You and all the men you've known,

starting with Eric.

Sandra, where are you? One of your exes has disappeared.

There are 25 children on the photo. I have 21 names. 21 files.

I think the killer's on this photo,

and his file is one of the missing ones.

Something's happened. Something serious.

Who wanted to make you talk?

Catherine and the new one you chose.

Where are they?

You've always been weak.

You've never been able to accomplish what I'm accomplishing.

Can you tell me what's going on? Who comes and gets the children?

I don't know if he's dead or alive. But I want to find him.

Can you help me?

Why does she remember the child she had and not her daughters?

I'm not telling you.

I want to help you, do you understand?

If you don't tell me where you are, I'll come looking.

It's absolute carnage all around me.

I understand perfectly what you're feeling, Sandra.

But you are wrong.

None of it is your fault.

They died because they didn't love you enough.

Even the father of your children.

Yes.

No.

No.

No, we'll double the team. Yes, hold on.

I'll pass him over. Sandra.

Thanks.

Hi.

Can you explain what's going on?

We're taking some extra measures.

You went to see Chloé.

She said you looked awful.

Yes, I don't sleep much.

Is what I heard true?

What?

A guy you're seeing has disappeared.

Yes.

- Do I know him? - No.

Did you like him?

I think so. We'd only just met.

I'm sorry.

Eric, I'm going to get him.

The guy who does this, I'll get him.

It'll be over soon.

- Can you put Justin back on? - Yes.

Yes?

Any news from the 21?

People got married, changed names, some went abroad.

Others have died.

We're doing our best.

Sandra...

- Please. - I'll call you back.

Sandra?

WITNESSES

I can't sleep.

I'm scared of remembering who I was.

Before.

How I was.

The photo I told you about...

I thought that woman was me.

As if that smile was mine.

I thought I remembered that wedding with him.

Did he talk about me?

No, I told you.

And the children, did he say anything?

I would tell you if there was anything.

Try to close your eyes.

Get some rest.

Yes.

LIST OF ORPHANS

What does the prosecutor say?

I lied to him.

What was I supposed to say?

That you saw Sandra by a service station?

That you could have stopped her?

I don't want you to get into trouble.

LIST OF ORPHANS

Do you remember the other kids?

I was two years old.

I only stayed eight months.

I don't remember much.

He was about twelve.

Martin Souriau.

Does that ring any bells?

No.

Yes...

Martin sounds vaguely familiar.

If it's the one I'm thinking of,

he kept to himself.

Was there another child?

A boy with whom he was friends?

No.

And the supervisors?

Those who took care of you.

No, I don't remember.

I'll show you a list of names.

Do you remember a name of someone who may have been with you

but who isn't on the list?

Right.

Yes, Solange is missing.

Audrey Solange.

She was often with another kid.

We made fun of him because he had a weird name,

a name of candy.

Something like liquorice.

- Fred. - Yes, what?

André Glissert.

What, André Glissert?

Oh, damn.

- Elisabeth. - Yes?

Did you see André Glissert?

- Yes. - When?

Yesterday, around 5:30pm.

- What did he say? - Like the others.

He doesn't remember.

Did you question him at home?

Outside. He wouldn't let me come inside.

Police! Police!

Hello, Audrey.

- Are you Audrey Solange? - Yes.

Mrs Solange.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes.

Réglisse doesn't know.

What happened to the children?

You put them by the wind turbines.

And then what?

Who comes to get them?

We know who you are.

Where you're from.

You aren't the only one who delivers children.

The one who kidnaps women, do you know him?

He's on this picture with you. Show him to me.

Show me.

I'll talk about What I did.

But only about what I did.

I took your coat and fags.

I can see that.

I brought you coffee.

- It must be cold. - Thanks anyway.

- You snore. - Yeah, right!

- You do. - Not at all.

Maybe a tiny bit.

The priest and nun

were the only people who looked after the kids?

The archives don't mention anyone else.

The older kids looked after the younger ones.

Who took the photo? One of the kids?

No.

You're right, there are 25 kids.

There are 25 on the photo.

Someone else? I don't know.

No, no one else.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

The orphanage was isolated from the world.

When I was a kid,

my parents didn't want me to hang around there.

I went there anyhow and was proud.

What do you mean, proud?

There was something there,

I don't know what.

The place was scary and the children who lived there

had a bad reputation.

Was there a leader?

A kid who took the upper hand?

No, I don't think so.

What are we looking for?

I don't know.

Something I didn't see last time.

THE PAST HAS FLED

WHAT YOU HOPE FOR HAS GONE

BUT THE PRESENT IS YOURS

CRAZED MOTHERS DROP THEIR CHILDREN

I don't know who the girl is but this one is Souriau.

- The youngest... - It's him.

I know it.

Oh, yes.

I remember him a bit.

He was one of the youngest.

He was odd.

Always a funny smile.

His initials might be "G. J."

Does that ring a bell?

His name was a bit Nordic.

A foreign name.

Jonas, Yonas, something like that.

Make an effort, try to remember.

No, I'm sorry, I don't remember.

How long were you married?

We weren't married.

- What's she like? - What do you want to know?

If she's a pain at home too?

She's even worse.

I'll go and get mine.

Hello? Yes, it's me. Did you call me?

No, I'm off work until Monday.

Pardon?

Right now?

Yes, that might be possible.

All right.

OK, lieutenant.

See you.

- Do the cops watch the building? - No idea.

I don't want to risk it.

Wait for me here.

- Hello? - I left you 15 messages.

- Did Solange talk? - We're on the field.

She'll only talk about what she did.

Did she talk about the children?

- No. - About who we're after?

No, not him either.

I've got a photo of him. No name yet.

I need you here.

I can't, not now.

Max wants a word.

Hello, Sandra?

- Max... - Let me speak.

I've covered you.

I've spoken to everyone.

They know what you're going through.

Thanks to you, we got Audrey Solange.

Tell me where you are.

Let the others come with you.

- No. - Why?

I want him to talk, you won't let me.

You're crazy!

If you say so.

- You're making the wrong decision. - Maybe.

You can't do it alone.

I'm not alone, I'm with Catherine.

She's stronger than you think.

Bye, Max.

- So? - She hung up.

We'll start.

One team in front of each entrance, each car park exit

and block accesses.

Let's go.

How did it happen? Tell us.

She gave birth here.

I want you to say her name.

Virginie Drouet, she gave birth here.

I cut the cord.

I put the baby in the bowl to wash it.

I had some clothes for him.

Blue ones.

It was a girl.

Then what?

I strangled her.

Who?

Virginie Drouet.

I took the rope there and strangled her.

Like with Elise.

Then what?

I waited until night-time, I put the body in a tarpaulin

and dragged it to my car's trunk.

I came back to get the kid and I left.

Where to?

Where you have to put the children.

Where are you going?

I've come to see Christiane.

- Your colleagues are looking for you. - I saw them.

Christiane?

Come with me.

- I've come for you. - Where are we going?

- Wherever. - To the funfair?

OK.

MUM, I'VE LEFT HOME. CALL ME.

- Hello? - Yes, it's me.

Where are you?

I can't tell you.

I won't go home.

You didn't.

I've run out of money.

- Call your father. - / want to see you.

Mum?

Mum?

Help me and then we'll get a snack.

Tell me you recognise Audrey Solange.

There's Martin.

And what's the little boy's name?

Look, it's like your hair.

Christiane.

Concentrate, the little boy.

What's his name? A kid like your brother.

Do you remember?

Can I have a go on a ride?

- Can I? - Yes, we can.

Leave it.

We have to wait...

We have to wait for it to stop.

There's no use.

I know but we can't force her to talk!

- She needs time. - We don't have any.

I know. Should we cut her throat?

Is your daughter far?

No.

Go and see her and tell her to go home.

- No. - Yes.

- No. - I'll try to make Christiane talk.

I'll call you.

No, we don't split up.

You may not remember but your daughter does.

You can't abandon her there.

I know that.

Don't you think I want to remember?

Every day, I hope I dreamt of them but I don't.

There's nothing.

Even if you have no memory,

when you see her, do you feel she's your daughter?

Go on. Do you hear me?

Go on.

I dug here in the night.

I'd parked over there.

I dragged the body here.

It was hot, I was sweating.

I put the body in the hole.

And the Child?

Huh?

I put it over there.

And then what?

I went home.

I slept 14 hours in a row.

You dropped the child off and went home?

To sleep?

Yes.

You didn't tell anyone the child was here?

We know it's not true.

You put the child here. You know what happened afterwards.

You know who comes to get them.

Do you know who picks the children up?

That's enough, let's go back.

'The girl...

'quick...

'ly...

'passing...

'by...'

I don't like talking about it.

OK.

I understand.

He was little but he was evil.

What do you mean?

I know his initials, "G. J."

Don't you remember his name?

Was it Jonas or something like that?

You don't remember?

I'm very scared he'll come to get me.

You're scared?

I'm scared too.

So, should we just leave it?

Because he's still at it.

He hurts children.

I knew you'd come.

Do you know where we are?

No.

We used to come here with Dad and you.

To see the sea.

Really.

I wanted to tell you,

it's none of my business,

but you and Dad,

those guys you saw before you disappeared,

I wanted to say I'm not judging you.

Don't worry about that.

That must not stop you from coming back.

Louise,

whatever happens,

things will never be like before, OK?

- Between your father and I. - I know.

You still don't remember?

No.

- You can't stay with me. - I want to help.

The man who did this to me, who I'm looking for, is dangerous.

- I don't want him to hurt you. - Go home.

You must look after your sister.

Do it for me.

Sandra.

GIVREUX GARAGE EMPLOYEE DECORATES CARS LIKE AN ARTIST

GIVING THEM NEW LIFE WITH HIS UNIQUE STYLE.

Hello?

- We're outside the house. - I'm coming.

Tell him to stay where he is.

Mum says to stay where you are.

- How are you? - Fine.

Pass me your mother.

He wants to talk to you.

Yes?

When will you come home?

As soon as I can.

Listen, Catherine. ..

I will come back, you know.

I promise.

The baby you had.

Find him and come back with him.

Go on now.

Step back.

Fuck!

- I'm a cop, it's urgent. - Me too.

- He worked here a few years. - Until when?

I'd say 2001, 2002, no more.

Do you know anything about him?

- He didn't mention his past. - Where did he live?

Upstairs. I rented him a room.

- Shall I show you? - Yes, sure.

It's this way.

There's not much left. It's mostly my junk.

I should clear it out but I don't have time.

Nobody's perfect.

What was he like at work?

A nice guy, the quiet type. Distant but smiley.

- Thanks. - He was into his thing.

What was his thing?

He decorated cars, that was his passion.

That and the army.

The army?

Yes, weapons, ammunition, he was fascinated.

There are barracks in Givreux, he had friends there.

He dreamt of joining the army.

The army or the police.

Do you remember any of his friends?

No, I don't.

I didn't know them.

The only thing left

are those pictures on the wall.

His friends' cars he'd painted.

His pals?

He had two or three from the infantry.

This car, who does it belong to?

No idea.

- Can I borrow it? - Please do.

You've made a mess.

SO, it's 3200 AB 59.

Yes.

Ghislain what?

H... "LT" at the end?

Ghislain Hernault. ls there an address?

On. All right.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Here.

This has to stay between us.

Justin doesn't know.

Right.

Thanks. So, Ghislain Hernault.

Yes, "LT" at the end.

Probably military.

No, infantry.

He moved a lot, so he changed assignments.

OK, I'll hold.

Are you OK?

Don't drink so fast.

Yes.

Where?

No, where in the police?

Tell me you have a phone number.

Yes!

Hold on, slow down. 17, 05.

Denis, thanks a ton. Bye.

Yes, yes, yes!

Good evening.

This weekend will be mixed,

with anticyclonic conditions Saturday and Sunday.

It will be unsettled throughout France.

The depression over Germany will bring instability to the north

with frequent showers and storms in the very north,

as well as lower temperatures.

Bu! from Saturday on...

Hello, Sandra Winckler, from the Lille police.

I have questions about a man you met 20 years ago.

Could you call me back...

Hello?

Sandra Winckler?

Yes, hello, I'm Ghislain Hernault.

You left me a message.

That's it.

Yes.

All right.

Yes, no problem.

Yes, I'm at home.

Fine. See you soon.

Thanks.

It's here. I'm going to park.

You'll wait for me, OK?

Can't I come with you?

No, I won't be long. You wait here.

- You'll be five minutes? - Yes.

Exactly.

Here.

- I'll wait for you. - Yes.

- Hello. - Hello. Sandra?

- Nice to meet you. - Ghislain.

- Come in. - Thanks.

Go through.

- Would you like coffee? - Yes, please.

- Was it easy to find? - Yes.

Geir Jansen.

- Thanks. - Yes, I knew him.

- Do you take sugar? - No, thanks.

At the time, people used to confuse us.

I didn't see the resemblance.

That's how we met.

- Are you still in contact? - No.

No, not at all.

Why are you looking for him?

Theft and misappropriation of goods.

Oh, right.

Crazy Jansen.

He was a nice guy.

Discreet.

Last time we spoke was five, six years ago.

Where?

In town, we met up in a bar.

He gave me his number, I wrote it down.

I can find it if you like.

I'd like that.

I keep my old notebooks, I'm nostalgic.

Geir Jansen.

- I'll go and get it. - Thanks.

Excuse me.
