6 days after disappearance

Who's that?

Eric Decker.

Superintendent Decker.

Susini and Chiappini's boss at Crime.

He retired last year.

You think he's involved?

Chiappini's dead, Susini may be too.

He's our only lead.

I'd like you to summon him. Today.

There's everything.

Scans of underground maps,

files with body arrival dates, descriptions...

but no names.

Right.

Who are the cops who delivered Julie?

I know one. He's my only contact.

- Richard Chiappini? - No, Olivier.

Olivier Cabordet.

- Cabo? - That's it, Cabo.

Impossible.

- Who's that? - Don't take the piss.

Who is it?

He's in the team.

We started working together over 15 years ago.

- He was with Crime Squad and I... - Who else?

I told you, he's my only contact! I know no others.

My customers don't know each other on principle.

How dare you talk principles, you fat shit!

Your daughter would be dead if I didn't have principles.

I told you, I don't kill. I never have!

- That's why I call it a principle. - Where's Julie?

I delivered her to Nox.

How did you meet Nox?

I was hiding a corpse when he arrived.

I didn't hear him, he wore a kind of hood...

He asked me what I was doing

and said we were going to do business together.

Where can we meet him?

- On the darknet. - What the hell is that!

You have to go via Grams, and then...

To hell with your darknet. I want to know where Nox is!

You delivered Julie, you know where to find him.

- He moves all the time. - You're not answering my question!

I just know where he was a week ago.

It's all I can tell you.

Let's go. Take him.

Missing for 6 days

Officer Julie Susini still untraceable

Lower your hands.

Lower your hands.

Look at me.

We need to have a chat.

You ran Val de Marne CID from 2011 to 2014, correct?

Yes.

And during that period did you command Lts Chiappini and Susini?

Indeed.

I won't ask what happened to them.

Do you recognise these faces?

Look carefully.

- No. - I asked you to look carefully.

No.

These 4 kids have 4 things in common.

One: they all have a criminal record.

Two: all were arrested then released several times for lack of evidence

by Lts Chiappini and Susini when you ran the CID.

Three: they all went missing in suspicious circumstances

and have not been seen since.

Four:

You're sure their faces ring no bells?

Last chance.

What part of "no" do you have trouble with?

When a disturbing disappearance case

arrives in CID,

it is looked at by the highest ranking officer

who then decides whether or not

to launch an official investigation, right?

Going back to 2014,

if we look at your figures,

you personally examined 30 disturbing disappearance cases.

From 30 cases, how many investigative procedures did you initiate?

Twenty-six. Which leaves...

4 cases out of 30

for which you felt no investigation was needed.

One, two, three, and four.

The fourth point in common between these four young people

is that you, Superintendent Decker,

deliberately chose not to open an official investigation.

It wouldn't be the first time cops have meted out justice.

And you covered all that up, didn't you?

As Chief Superintendent,

it was my right not to investigate their disappearance.

I exercised it.

I do not have to justify myself.

On the other hand, you,

with all the "respect" I owe you, Superintendent Hadji,

be careful.

They sound like accusations.

This interview is over.

Well...

that went well!

How long have you been eliminating bodies?

Ten years.

At first it was occasional.

One every six months, at most.

I'd hide it at night then pour cement on it the next day.

No one was any the wiser.

Then Nox arrived.

At first he brought me a body every once in a while,

then the rhythm picked up.

One a month. Sometimes one a week.

I wanted to stop

but he'd never have let me.

You don't know who you're dealing with.

Move!

Stay there.

What is this?

A squat?

- I don't know. - You don't?

Look...

It's not very old.

Move.

We have a problem.

The bin hasn't been emptied.

It's not like him.

The money was in an envelope.

I have a development too.

Recognise her?

- When will they be here? - Half an hour.

What's that?

Direct access to level -3. Nox.

You go first.

Go on!

I don't understand.

But it's here.

- There! - Yes...

What is it?

I don't know.

Don't move.

It's OK.

Come on!

Stay there.

I told you. He's always moving.

Shut up and sit down. Go on, kneel!

Don't move!

Save me, save me...

- We can't stay here. - Shut up!

This is Julie's.

It's hers! She was here!

- We can't stay here. - Shut up, I said!

Raphaël!

Raphaël!

- You OK, Catherine? - Yes.

I'm coming.

He's dead, we have to get back up before Nox arrives.

I don't care. Julie isn't far.

We have to go back up anyway. Nox knows these tunnels backwards.

Ferrera mentioned several places like this.

How can we find her?

Maybe it's time to call for reinforcements.

The cops who tried to kill Julie don't want her alive.

- We have to stay outside the system. - OK.

We find a way to locate Nox then come back, OK?

He mentioned the darknet. Let's start there.

We were there, damn it!

Six possible shots, one bullet,

means only 5 will survive. For example...

He had a 17% chance of a bullet to the head.

17% isn't much.

20%. That's easy, still a game.

At 25%, you start to think.

And now a 1-in-3 chance.

One chance in three.

A 33% chance of lead in the head.

On the bright side, it's a 66% chance...

...of hearing that sound.

It's because of you we're in this shit.

A cop, too. Incredible!

One chance in two.

50%!

- OK? - What are you doing?

- Relaxing. - Stop messing about.

I think we should kill them all and leave.

Don't worry, we'll unplug it all soon.

But not yet.

- We've got a fucking cop... - Exactly!

We've got a fucking cop. A cop!

Thank you.

We need to find a hacker. Do you know any?

No. You?

Look, I don't know how to put this...

We need help.

We won't get far alone.

We've a cyber-crime department.

You know what I told Julie last time I saw her?

When she said she was in the shit.

"It's not my problem."

She was going to tell me everything

and I told her I couldn't care less.

Imagine that?

Can you imagine what a shit I am?

I'll see this through even if it kills me.

So the cops can fuck right off.

Lt Berger...

Mrs Susini...

My daughter is alive.

That's an introduction.

I don't know if you realise what situation you're in.

Put that down, please.

What do you know?

I was going to ask you the same question.

Great minds!

So...

One: a gang of cops

Julie belonged to shot kids in the suburbs and hid their bodies.

Two: Cpt Richard Chiappini was in the gang.

You know that. You were there when he had his head smashed in!

Three: your daughter tried to confess but was prevented.

They crudely tried to pretend she'd fled to Spain.

Four: you're here because you've something to ask me.

Because you already know everything I've said.

Right, Mrs Susini?

I know my daughter messed up.

She was willing to pay the price or she wouldn't have contacted you.

So when I find her - because I will -

I'll ask you not to forget she came to you.

But for her you wouldn't know about this case.

I don't know if they're mitigating circumstances

but do take them into account.

- What's that? - The grave manager's computer.

With the list of all the bodies underground and their location.

I've a cop's name too.

As a mother, I'm full of admiration.

As an IGPN officer, I can't do any deals with you. You see that?

Fine.

Then I'll talk to the mother.

Because if I do nothing, she...

Only I can find her!

All I ask is the name of a hacker

and 48 hours start. That's all.

Afterwards you can send me to jail, I don't care.

You're a fucking pain.

You won't regret it.

Oh, I doubt that.

Hey, there's a Paki who wants to see us.

It's about the tunnels, says it's important.

As we've a tunnel killer, what do I do?

Where's your Paki?

- Downstairs. - I'll see him.

- You sure? - It's cool.

So what use am I, then?

- Where is he? - There.

Oh yes.

- Sir. - Hello.

- Lt Cabordet. - My name is Piruthusan.

- I trust French justice. - Why are you here?

I have a friend of a friend, from Sri Lanka like me.

who took someone in who managed to escape.

He was held prisoner underground.

Underground. OK, come with me. Why isn't your friend here?

No papers. He's scared of the police.

- No problem. When did he escape? - Today.

Who was holding him prisoner?

He said he had a mask. His name was "Nox".

Nox?

OK. What else did he say?

There were several of them.

If we do nothing they'll all die.

- But he said there's a woman too. - A woman?

I'm not sure whether to trust this,

but she's from the police.

A woman from the police?

OK.

Come with me.

Fuck! I thought he took care of it!

- So did I. - You were wrong. Once again!

So Julie's alive?

And who the hell's this Nox?

I've no idea!

No, you don't! Damn it!

You must find her

and finish the job.

Properly.

What did you do with that guy?

He's in the car.

Go on! I'll catch up with you.

Good evening.

She's the best hacker in Paris?

She broke the Nazis' code in 1945!

No, Elisabeth!

Shut the fuck up!

Let's see...

Listen, old age is a bitch. But you know that.

Every day I'm reminded that I'm old.

But from you, that's so stupid.

So apologise or fuck off.

Is she for real?

You got something to say, say it to my face!

You've ten seconds to apologise or I close my door.

Believe me.

I'm sorry.

48 hours. No more.

Thank you!

- You know the darknet? - Yes.

Well, not really, but...

The darknet isn't a second internet.

There's one internet that hosts millions of darknets.

Pirate cells, like parasites.

The specificity of a darknet is that data and files are exchanged

anonymously.

That means there's no IP address, no trace, nothing.

You can communicate without any police surveillance.

So there are lots of networks affiliated with terrorism, drugs,

paedophilia, and political movements too.

We are going to use Tor.

It's a specific browser.

Then it gets complicated because without extra data,

it'll take a very long time to find your Nox.

Did your guy tell you anything else?

Yes, but Catherine interrupted when he was talking.

He said you had to go through something...

Yeah, that helps me.

It was something like... Groms or Grams.

- Grams? - Is that possible?

Grams, yeah, it exists.

It's a darknet search engine.

Not the most popular, but it exists.

You're not as dumb as you look.

- Want some? - No thanks.

It's good for Alzheimer's.

I don't have memory problems.

You OK?

Sit down.

My friend Gayan, who doesn't speak French.

He escaped. The policeman has come to help us.

Six days ago he went with his friend Ruan to a tunnel

where they had found a place with some beds.

But during the night, someone came and took them both away.

Did he see his face?

He didn't see his face because he had a mask...

I understood that.

But they found a hole...

At first there were a dozen, in a tunnel,

but each day they took one away and he didn't return.

Could he find it again?

No, he said it's impossible

because they keep changing places...

What about this policewoman business?

- Pardon? - I'm asking about the policewoman.

There was a woman who was very brave

who spoke to them in English.

But she said she was staying down there.

Yes, that's her.

You're sure?

Your speaking voice is very quiet.

Say: "Yes, I'm sure."

- Yes. - It's important, you see?

OK. Who have you told this story to?

He told me, her, and her husband.

- Where's he? - He was against the door earlier.

Very well.

What about you?

Who knows you came to see the police?

Think about it, it's important.

Yes. But it's personal, a citizen's action.

For the investigation, we need you to come with us.

- But don't worry. - It will be all right.

Where are you taking me? I've done nothing.

Yeah, yeah. That's what I think.

Sir, what have I done? Nothing.

What'll we do?

I'll drive.

- Hey, this doesn't work. - What?

Can you open the boot, please?

Bloody hell...

Sir! What's going on?

Did they kill him? Sir, they killed him!

Shut up, please.

Sir, what are they doing?

Shut up, now!

There.

Now there's only us two.

And Julie. We must go back, find her and finish the job.

You know where she is?

I don't. But he can guide you.

What do you mean?

And why me, anyway?

Why you? I'm heading the investigation on mass graves

and I have to make sure nothing leads to us.

Also...

I told you she was too fragile and shouldn't join the group

- but you wouldn't listen. - OK.

Look where it's got us. Killing cops.

Now we have no choice. Find Julie, shoot her in the head

twice, three times, 40 times, as you wish,

and sort it out. OK?

Got it!

- But it's a black screen. - That's good.

It means the site address I entered exists.

That's Nox.

Stop!

- It's him! - Shut up!

Fuck!

- It looks like... - An auction.
