EMT: Death was a few hours ago.

From that height, she died instantly.

EMILIE: At least she didn't suffer.

- She didn't have time.

TECH: Evidently she slipped on a wooden slat and lost her balance.

I don't understand why she went this way since the work is in progress.

Shall I tell the Major?

- No, leave him in peace.

Tell me when you have something new.

KNOCKING

ALEXIA: It's open!

What're you doing in my place?

- You need to tell your friends to cool it.

Or you'll be sorry. - Let me go. Let me go!

Let me go!

- Understand?

- I know who sent you, actually.

You can tell them we're not afraid.

- If we have to come back, we'll be much much less nice.

: Let's go.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

MOBILE RINGING

. . .

ALEXIA VOICEMAIL: Leave a message.

EMILIE: Yeah, uh, it's me. Well,

listen, I- I wanted to talk to you.

That's it. I hope you're OK and...

and, you know, we could see each other this evening if you're free.

That's it. Call me back, big kiss.

BLACK RUN

INVOICE SUPPLIERS RULES

ANNE: Denis!

Denis, it's terrible!

Florence Clairevoix's had an accident, she fell from the bridge.

- This isn't the time! - I'm telling you that Florence is dead!

- I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT FLORENCE!

- What are you doing?

What's wrong?

- Wait wait- no no no- - You don't want to burn this!

- Leave me alone! Leave!

- I DON'T CARE! WE'RE ALL GONNA BE FUCKED!

I got you an apple turnover.

No sugar.

You okay?

LOIC: No phone, no purse. It's not an accident.

Someone's cleaning up.

- You have no proof of that.

EMILIE: The phone, the purse, yeah. someone passing

could've picked them up, it could be anyone.

A walker, a skier, a firefighter.

- Do you believe what you said there?

A deep conviction is not enough to open an investigation.

We need proof.

VOICEMAIL: Loic, it's me, it's Florence,

We need to talk.

Can we meet at my home? I'm not there...

- That was last night.

- Did you call her back?

- I went to her house, I waited for her.

I got worried and called some colleagues.

You know the rest.

- Loic, it's me, it's Florence,

We need to talk.

Can we meet at my home? I'm not there...

- It's not enough.

Come on, let's go.

- Where? - To search for proof.

Did she have a laptop or tablet?

P.A.: Uh, yes, a tablet, but...

she must have taken it with her when she left.

- She left at what time?

- Maybe an hour after I left.

I don't know more exactly. In any case, not long after.

She hadn't come back when I left Town Hall.

Maybe she came by.

EMILIE: She has a shredder, is it always so full?

- No, it was empty yesterday.

Madam Mayor had to sort things out before leaving the office.

It was like that when I arrived this morning.

And then a colleague called to inform me.

Excuse me, do you still need me?

- Nothing, go home.

It's a blow for everyone.

Your colleagues will understand.

- Thank you.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

I'm afraid we won't find the building permit.

Surely she was going to see Jourdan after she left.

Reminds me of your photos.

- Would you like one? I gave them to her.

MOBILE RINGS

. . .

EMILIE: Alexia? - Uh, yeah.

Fuck, where've you been? I've been calling you for 2 hours.

- What's happened?

The guys, have you seen them before?

- No, they were two big, hefty guys.

- With a black 4x4? - Yeah.

They came in and put me on the floor, saying that I

had to get the message.

- Who do you think they are?

- From the construction site.

- Yeah, surely.

Were you hurt?

- I tried to fight, but they were armed.

- At first we said we would file a complaint,

but we preferred to wait for you.

- You did right.

- And now?

- We do what we've always done:

we tell them we're here, and we

don't intend to let it go.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- I'm sorry I didn't \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hcall her back.

- You couldn't have done anything.

- Maybe, if I had gotten there- - It's pointless, Servoz.

- We must find the link to the construction site.

We have to find the link among

Emery's death, Fauvel's disappearance,

the sweetheart deal, and whoever killed Florence.

- Maybe, but you're in no condition to find out.

Go rest, we'll talk about all of it tomorrow.

- Meh.

- Thanks for picking him up. It all came out well?

- Yeah, we did the red run!

- The one from my day? - Yeah!

- Well, you'll have to tell me about it.

- Mom? - Yeah?

- Can I stay and sleep at grandma's?

- You know that would make me very happy.

I'll drop him off tomorrow.

- Is he here?

- No problem, your father's sleeping at the sawmill tonight.

- Are you sure of that? ANNE: Trust me.

- Come on, please! Please!

- Do it for your son!

- All right. - Great, thank you!

- Go, go on.

You'll drop him off first thing tomorrow morning?

- I promise.

- And we'll have breakfast together

before you go snowboarding. THEO: Okay!

- Emilie!

- Thank you!

MOBILE RINGING

EMILIE: Yes? - Sgt. Karras?

The lab in Grenoble has examined

the mobile that was among the evidence.

- Were you able to recover the data? - Yes, miss, most handily,

I sent it, did you receive it?

- I'll see to it right away, thank you.

What've you gotten into, Boris?

What is this bullshit, can you explain?

- Don't worry, it's over

- What's 'over'?

The doctor was very clear. My knee is dead.

I'll never be able to put on skis again,

even to go downhill by torchlight.

Yeah, that's how it is.

- I'm sorry

- Me too.

Would you please leave?

CHARLOTTE: I passed your little cop in the hallway.

- She's not 'my cop.'

She's a gendarme. - It's the same thing!

- No, it's not the same, no.

- What'd she want? - I don't know.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI need you, Boris.

- Me?

- Me, or the champion? - Stop, please!

What I did was for us.

- 'For us'?

You really think that's what I wanted to do with my life? Huh?

I play the goose that lays the golden eggs,

while you think you're the Snow Queen?

Wake up, Charlotte.

I'm not playing anymore.

- Where are you going? - I don't know!

KNOCKS

EMILIE: How are you doing? Can I come in?

- Sorry it's a mess.

- No big deal, you must've been busy.

- On and off.

Oranges-in-parchment. What about you?

- Why didn't you call me back? I was worried.

I had a terrible problem with a supplier.

- Okay.

- Are you all right? - ((Yes.))

I heard about Clairevoix.

She wasn't my best friend, but...

it makes you sad. - Mm-hmm.

- Do you know what happened?

- The investigation's in progress, I can't say anything.

- You're so professional! - Well, yeah!

TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION SUMMARY: FLORENCE CLAIREVOIX

DENIS MONFORT

LOIC SERVOZ

Loic? It's me, it's Florence.

We need to talk.

Can we meet at my home? I'm not there...

SWIRL OF MEMORIES

- What's happening? Everything all right?

AGNES: We've been waiting.

- You all right, Frog? - Yes, yes...

- Your son has been waiting an hour.

No, everything's fine. - (Fuck, I just woke up.)

No, but he was with Karine.

- You'd leave our son with a stranger?

- She's not a stranger, she's my colleague Karine.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Don't worry, Théo and I know each other well.

- There! - He's been with me the whole time.

- Oh, all right.\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h :

OK, so since he's been here your son has spent his time

with your colleague so you can...

...live your life?

- Yeah, but I'm not having this conversation in front of Theo.

- Oh no? - No.

- Then when? - Not in the office, in any case.

- So, never.

- Theo, go have breakfast in the dorm.

Go down, we're having a little talk.

- It's not worth it. Theo! - Are you kidding me?

- I'll take you. - No!

- I don't think I asked for your opinion. - Yeah, that's the problem!

Théo, please go next door, I’ll be there in 5 minutes.

- Mom, you know, I think it's easier

if I go back with mom.

- Of course it's easier.

Maybe it's easier, but who cares what's easier?

What do you want? - (I don't know.)

- Theo, please go get your things, I'm in a hurry.

- That's "cool."

What are you talking about? - That it's cool.

- You only have yourself to blame! Are you aware of that?

- Fuck, Agnès: evolve! Shit!

Don't make him pay for it!

I haven't gone over this stuff.

- I'm making him pay? You're not? That's not OK!

I'm here, I assure you. But go ahead, leave!

- You want a tea, or coffee?

- I'm sorry mom. I think it's my fault.

It's not, okay? Why do you say that?

Because I asked to stay with Grandma Anne,

if I could stay with Karine until you could come.

- And you've been all right, I trust Karine.

- Yes, but even she is really pissed,

seeing the stupid things we do, right?

- No, we haven't been stupid. Especially not you.

You did well telling your grandmother

that she could leave you by yourself.

You did exactly what we planned,

so we could have breakfast together.

All right? - Okay.

- Agnès is angry with me.

Not at you. - And you're mad at her?

- I was.

Not anymore.

Don't worry, okay? - OK.

- You pack your bag. - OK.

- Will you let me have your console? - No.

MACHINERY NOISE

DENIS: I don't know what she wanted to say to me.

- Why would she call you repeatedly?

If it was her last call, shortly before

her accident, it must have been urgent.

- What can I tell you?

Maybe her mobile was at the bottom of her bag and it dialed me.

That's how you accidentally call the Philippines.

- Maybe she wanted to talk about your son!

- Please, leave my moron son out of all this.

- Were you aware she paid Baptiste's bail?

- Well, I had nothing to do with it,

that's about a good woman, and she's mine.

- It's clear who put you on the Clairies 3000 job.

- Yeah, it's true, it was ideal.

She wanted the development to spur the region's businesses

so everyone would benefit.

I submitted my bid and won the tender—full stop!

- There's never been anything so big here.

- There's a beginning for everything.

- How much did you give her in return? - You'll have to prove that!

- You had something on Clairevoix.

- Is that a question?

- Jourdan—what can you tell me about him?

- Nothing. I don't deal with those people,

I just have the right to good work.

Listen, I don't know what you're looking for,

but you won't find it here!

ALL RIGHT?

- I'LL FIND OUT WHY FLORENCE DIED!

AND MAKE THEM BELIEVE IT! ALL OF IT!

TIPHAINE: The doctor says I'll be able to leave soon.

You'll protect me, right?

- Yeah.

- Because, I'm scared.

- Do you recognize this photo?

- No.

- No?

- That's funny, it was on your phone.

- Someone sent it to me. - No.

You took it.

- It wasn't my idea. - Whose idea was it?

- Boris is always nice to us.

- He is.

Fine, but this is really old:

a photo for some money. How much?

50,000? 60,000?

- Ten.

- Thousand euros?

- I was against it.

- Yet you took the picture.

- Jeff?

I'm here to see you.

- See me? - Yeah.

- Go ahead, if I can help.

- You're on salary at the Clairies construction.

- Everyone is, one way or another.

- Salaries, who handles that?

- Yeah, listen... I'll get the info anyway.

We can do each other a favor.

I need to know where to start digging.

So. Salaries.

- It's complicated.

- What name is on the pay slips?

- There are no payslips.

We're paid in "cash" at the end of the week.

It's a big melting pot up there,

Italians, Albanians, there's us...

- Travellers, illegal workers...

Who pays?

- I don't know who we work for.

The guys who do the earthworks and foundations,

it's an old man who takes care of it.

I work for Monfort, he's who pays me.

- Thanks, Jeff.

I've been waiting for 3 months.

Yes, I received the bags of pellets yesterday.

- Yes, but I don't have- I don't have the boiler to burn them in.

Tomorrow?

For sure?

Yeah, goodbye.

- I'm back from the hospital.

Corto and Tiphaine were blackmailing Boris for €10,000.

- So, let's summon Boris.

I've said the Gendarmerie and I have had difficult times...

And good.

We usually don't know the people we arrest.

- Mmm.

- The...

...wagon—did you fall off?

- I can handle it.

- That's what alcoholics say.

"Hey" Servoz:

I need you, yeah?

- I spent the night on the Clairevoix bank accounts.

Were you aware that she paid your brother's bail?

- No.

I'll let you summon Boris.

I have to sort something out.

EMILIE: Will you answer my question?

BAPTISTE: I know Clairevoix paid my bail, it was nothing.

What does it matter?

Well, because there's an investigation into her death.

- Hmm.

- Plus, I dunno, a local paying the bail of the

son of a contractor who works for the town

is strange, isn't it? - You have nothing.

Go look elsewhere.

Clairevoix or not Clairevoix, I don't give a fuck.

All I know is it was you who

threw me in the slammer, that's all.

EMILIE: Come on, you want me to remind you why?

- For revenge. - Did you say 'revenge'?

What revenge is that?

I'm not naive, I'm not playing your little card game here.

Your revenge, because you couldn't stand that I...

I told our parents about you.

You and that girl you slept with.

- That?

That time?

You think I arrested you because of that?

- Because I told our parents? Yeah.

- That's nonsense, you were 15,

you didn't know what you were doing.

I- I'm fine with what I did.

Oh yeah, it woke me up.

Just to see your face.

'The future champion, the champion's trips, the champion at the airport—'

'—champion, champion, champion.'

Yeah, yeah, I didn't share in that.

- Fuck, that's why you told them?

because you were jealous?

This is ridiculous, Baptiste.

- The world was talking about you.

YOU REMEMBER?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Calm down.

- IT WASN'T FAIR!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h :

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Calm down. CALM DOWN!

- GET OUT!\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h :

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah, fine, fine. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOK, I'm leaving.

OK, the passes, the hours, the lift operators

at the bottom of the slopes, absolutely.

ALEXIA: ...the total, ...

Okay, to summarize: everything must be ready as soon as possible.

But we're in the right- - EMILIE: Alexia?

ALEXIA: Well, we'll take a little break.

Be right back.

Want a coffee?

- Who're all those people? - We're planning a hike.

A super nice one on the south slope.

- Oh, too cool. Can I come?

- I don't think you'd like it.

- What's going on Alexia? What are you doing?

- Do you want small or large? - Stop telling me nonsense,

it's not a meeting to plan a hike.

Don't lie. - I'm not lying.

- You're not saying anything. - But I'm not lying.

- Not in so many words.

- When I asked you questions about Clairevoix's death,

you didn't want to answer me.

But that has nothing to do with it, it's an in-progress

investigation, I can't say anything, you know that.

It's my job.

Yeah, it's the same thing with my job,

I can't tell you about it.

You have your coffee, there's the sugar.

Don't pout, I don't blame you.

Don't wait up.

GUIDE OFFICE

PLATE

Emilie?

- Oh, there you are. - Boris Arnoux is here.

- Is Servoz here? - Yes, he's already with him.

- Thanks, Karine.

KNOCKS

- Now that Sgt. Karras has joined us, we can start.

Mr Arnoux, can you tell us what you did on

the night of the 21st to the 22nd,

the night we found the body of Fabrice Emery?

- Do you have to phrase it like that?

- Yeah, we have to.

- Answer, please.

- There was the party.

To celebrate my victory.

I didn't want it, the party.

I was injured.

I didn't have a choice.

- Can you explain to us what we're seeing in this photo?

- Isn't it clear?

- No, not what's occurring.

Give us the background, please.

- Corto and his pals asked me to

go for a drink at The Springboard.

Someone had some coke, I had a line and went back to the party.

- Please, continue.

- Later in the evening Corto sent me a message,

with this photo.

I called him.

He wanted money.

- How much? - Does it matter?

BOTH: €10,000?

- Yeah.

- But it didn't matter,

the money stuff wasn't a problem.

I have the 10,000,

that's not the problem, the problem was the pressure.

The pressure was too much.

I live with this pressure every day, I can't

take it anymore from these people around me!

- You found Mr Corto Fioraventi at the seasonal worker camp.

- Yeah, I went straight to his trailer.

- And then?

- Then I opened the door.

He knows me.

You've seen that.

I saw a silhouette on the bunk.

I didn't think.

I grabbed him, I hit him.

I hit him.

He took all the punches that I couldn't give to others.

He took them for everyone.

- And then you tipped the ethanol heater over

onto the body. - No!

I didn't do that.

I freaked out, he wasn't moving, that jerk.

I went back to see if...

That's when I saw it wasn't him.

- What did you and Corto talk about?

- I just went to beat up the guy, I barely knew him.

LOIC: Then what did you do?

- I left.

- Right...

We will write up your statement.

And inform you of your rights.

Karras?

- I'm sorry.

- Do we have everything? You have to tell us everything.

- I told you everything.

- You're sure? - I'm sure, yeah.

EMILIE: Okay.

- Something I didn't tell you—

—I waited for you a long time, but you don't care.

- No.

Do you think he was the one who set the fire?

- Who else?

Anyway, he'll be referred to the prosecutor.

We'll see if he breaks down and confesses.

- What if he confesses to something he didn't do?

- You have something provable, or a hunch?

Boris is being questioned by the Gendarmes

over this seasonal worker thing.

JOURDAN: He was the one who started the fire?

- No, of course not, no.

- So he has nothing to fear.

- He needs help, he needs a good lawyer,

do you have someone here?

- No.

The press will be talking about this story, it's not good for us.

TATIANA: What he is trying to tell you is that

we no longer wish to be associated

with Boris as of today. - Sorry?

- You are going to have to find a lawyer on your own.

But, I need to say, I need your help here!

You don't understand, I have everything

we had invested in the new hotel project!

If this project collapses I lose everything!

- If you don't know how to lose, you shouldn't play.

- Please, please help me.

- Tatiana was very clear.

- Don't do this to me, help me at least get my money back.

- You don't want your money back

It has already been used for project design.

- Please, help me, really.

- You should go home, Charlotte.

Dangerous mountain roads at night, with the snow.

- Are you serious?

You're vile!

After what happened between us...

- What happened between us?

- Fuck you!

I'm going to get my money back.

- Well, I'll give you a little advice

which helped me a lot.

Business is like a gaming table.

You sit down, you look for which player is the pigeon.

If you can't find it, it's you.

Goodbye, Charlotte.

Yes it's me

I went to see Florence Clairevoix, and I told her

if she didn't help me pay the bail I would tell

everything I knew.

- But what do you know? ANNE: Everything!

Fake invoices, double accounting,

the "cash" thrown around, the undeclared workers.

It was Clairevoix who involved you in this rotten sorcery.

I'm not stupid, eh?

I've heard the tales of the sawmill for years, I tell you.

And you're going to drag your son into this!

And you found nothing better than Florence?

I tried to talk to you about it, but you didn't want to know anything.

- I had my reasons. - But what reason?

What reason is there to leave our son in jail?

- Yeah, me too, I'm curious to hear them.

- Wait, wait, wait, it's all right!

There's a lot going on here, it's confusing!

- Oh yeah? That's not the impression I have.

- It's OK, you won't- - It's fine Mom, don't worry,

I'll just explain to dad what I think I've figured out, OK?

To pay the bail, mom went to see Clairevoix.

All because of, how do I put it— it's called motherly love, you see?

- Ha-ha. - 'Ha-ha'!

That thing about parents watching over their children—

—does that ring a bell? - But Baptiste-

- Yeah, it doesn't, does it?

Do you have any love? There was only some for your darling little girl,

the future champion.

Marry her to the great champion,

make little champion kids.

You'd be proud of her, you'd finally be someone important, huh?

Well, she left us.

And pregnant as well.

Disgusting, huh?

And you know what? She even changed her name.

Her name is Karras now, like her wife.

Oh yeah, left you all alone. All dried up.

Come on.

Keep going— before I give you one.

ANNE: And Baptiste- BAPTISTE: What're you gonna do?

ANNE: Come on, come on, BAPTISTE: What're you gonna do?

ANNE: Come on, come on, come on—that's enough! Enough!

MINA: Thank you, Major.

You were right. I don't regret canceling my dinner.

LOIC: What do we do now? What do you decide?

- It's impressive.

I never imagined such a degree of corruption.

Bartoli, Montfort, Vuillermoz-

I have the impression that all the entrepreneurs in the region are exposed.

- Those who are in the Clairies 3000 project, in any case.

Jourdan put pressure on Florence Clairevoix,

She put him in contact with companies,

people who trusted and would follow her.

They're all connected like the links of a chain,

they all cover for each other.

- Fine.

We'll summon all the beautiful people as soon as possible.

January will be a busy!

Yes, this is Chief Sgt. Karras.

I need a phone sweep, please.

Charlotte Arnoux. I'll send you all the info.

Thanks, it's urgent.

Yeah, thanks.
