THE PERSON WHISTLES.

...

- Already she's weird,

now she is abandoning her post.

- It's because of that cop.

Wait.

Oh !

you can tell us

- how many are there? - No, I can't count them.

On the other hand, with 6 toothpicks, I can make 4 triangles

equilateral. Try.

- You impress me,

- you know. - It can also be matches.

- I'm not talking about that but about the path you've traveled.

I wasn't thrilled with the idea of ​​you collaborating on investigations.

But you made progress with Commander Coste.

- I'm still the same. I am still autistic and will remain so.

- I don't want to be someone else. - That's what's spectacular.

You stayed the same but you gained confidence.

- "They laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them

- "because they are all the same." - Is it by Diderot?

- Hello ma'am. No, Kurt Cobain.

It was Théo, Raphaëlle's son, who taught it to me.

- 4.50. - Thanks.

- I've been thinking about this guardianship thing.

We could end it. You are independent

- you don't need a tutor anymore. - 5.80.

- I do not know. - I'll let you think about it.

Go on.

- Yes.

...

- You impress me, you know.

- Father.

- I'm so proud of you, honey.

You have a job,

and Gaillard says you're gifted.

Even if he wants you to take less initiative.

- Tell me, Dad.

- How many times has it been, Astrid?

- I don't know, I didn't count. Tell me,

once again.

- "The Art of Fugue" is certainly the work

Bach's most incredible. His music is

composed from intertwined musical lines

in others.

PIANO.

First, he lays out the theme in

the prelude, as if giving us a clue.

And then he stacks the lines, he tangles them,

knits them into each other. And all that,

with two hands. Here,

the 2nd line has just arrived.

What is magic with Bach is the more we listen to

it, the more we will be able to mentally dissociate

lines from each other.

A bit like when you separate

the pieces of your puzzles.

Portable.

- The victim's name is Camille Vavin. She is 25 years old,

lived here for 2 years.

A girl without stories. There is no break-in.

- She opened the door to her attacker? - Must believe. Alright, that's hard.

- She had her throat cut cleanly. - Dead in seconds

last night, around 10 p.m., I would say. The murder weapon was there.

- His eyes are closed. They were when you arrived?

- Um yes. And ?

- The eyes remain in the position in which they are

- at the time of death. - She died with her eyes closed.

Nice revelation.

- If death occurred within seconds,

why did she have her eyes closed?

- The killer was able to close them.

- And say a prayer.

I'll do eyelid surveys, okay.

But focus on biological fingerprints

- at the crime scene. - And over there?

- They're everywhere.

There's skin and hair under the victim's fingernails.

She must have scratched her killer.

We also have the gun,

covered in fingerprints.

- Good. If it matches, it will be settled very quickly, this story.

- Good.

We have nothing on the daily life of the victim.

Camille Vavin was appreciated at her job, no known

enemy, no litigation, no conflict with anyone.

- On the private side?

- A boyfriend, Simon Cusson. - He's waiting in the audition room.

But nothing proves that there would have been a conflict between them.

- The boy is badly shaken. - I don't think he's acting.

- And the parents ? - Nothing.

She saw them every week. A tight-knit family.

- We're missing something. - You don't kill a kid like that

without reason.

- I don't know, I swear.

Camille loved everyone, everyone loved her.

- And people less close?

Someone pissed her off on the subway?

A problem with a neighbor?

At work ?

Simon, even if this concerns you, you have to tell me.

- No, no, it's not me. This is...

It's Camilla. I didn't like it, but I know

sometimes she smoked when she was alone.

- Pot?

Could she have had

a problem with that?

- I do not know.

It's the only thing

besides the nails

- that she was doing. - OK.

I thank you.

The craziest thing she ever did was smoke

- some firecrackers. - Wow...

Good.

- She's the president of Tourvel, that girl.

- There may be a Valmont

who sold him his weed, in his building. A dangerous affair.

Tourvel, I know. Michelle Pfeiffer.

I come back to my Valmont.

A guy caught on narcotics charges lives in his apartment building.

- Yes. Marc Varenne.

- He also hit his ex-girlfriend. - He has an electronic bracelet.

- Equipped with a GPS? - Yes. We all have our moves.

Varenne was at home

- at the time of the murder. Either... - Or...

Or at the victim's one floor above. GPS can't tell.

The coordinates are the same.

- Good. The samples taken from under the fingernails of the victim

and the fingerprints on the murder weapon belong to a neighbor,

Marc Varenne.

- He's at home, half naked.

A guy on the roof is watching him.

...

- What is happening ?

- Marc Varenne? - Yes. What is this mess ?

What is this mess ?

- Good morning sir. Ichor Company?

- Put it down.

- Have a good day.

- Why would I have killed Camille?

- Between a dealer and his clients, things aren't always right.

- It's been over a year since I sold anything to him. I am clean.

I consume more, I sell more. I'm on probation!

- Well then.

It is sure that such a crime is not for a dumpling of hash.

*I think that by dint of turning around her,

*you wanted more.

- I would never have killed Camille. - That was kindness personified.

- Alright, let's stop playing.

*You were in the building at the time of the crime.

*-I'm living. It's logic.

*-Except your fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

And your DNA under the victim's fingernails.

- I swear I didn't kill her.

- It's 4:14 p.m.

You will be presented to the judge

of freedoms for your placement

in pre-trial detention.

- Did you notice anything? - Nope.

But something is not working.

The pieces of the puzzle don't fit together well.

- Yes, but everything points to Varenne: his DNA, his fingerprints, his past.

You haven't been with me

long, and I know that feeling.

We think once the case is solved,

we'll feel better. But not always.

Camille is dead.

- Yes.

Something is not working.

- Business smoothly conducted.

And you stayed in the nails.

- Cheer. - Thank you, commissioner.

I hope we haven't made a mistake.

- We will refer Varenne to the prosecution. - And like that,

you can go on vacation with peace of mind.

- I didn't ask for leave. - I did it for you.

I don't want trouble

- with the hierarchy. - Oh no !

- It's not a request. - It's an order.

Enjoy your baby boy, get out of town.

Bargain ? Thank you Coste. Good holidays.

- Yes, but...

CELLO TUNE.

...

It's beautiful, this music. It is so...

- Rigorous.

- I was going to say moving.

Why rigorous?

On the contrary, it flows like a

river, or like a tear on a cheek.

- Nope. It flows like a mathematical sequence.

A cello suite by Bach.

Bach's music owes nothing to chance.

- I see. You will still tell me

that you see it as a puzzle.

- Yes. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote musical puzzles.

I can prove it to you.

PIANO TUNE.

...

The.

Did you hear those 4 notes?

It's a B flat, an A, a C,

and so natural.

- Yes. Yes, of course, I... - I recognized them.

- The Anglo-Saxon notation of music associates the notes

to letters. A for the.

C for do, and so

on. you can guess

what do these scores mean?

B, A, C, H.

Bach.

A man who hides his name in the notes of his pieces is indeed

a lover of puzzles. At least a fan of puzzles and codes.

That's why I love Bach's

music. She helps me concentrate.

She helps me think.

And then I listened to it with dad.

- Astrid, I came to tell you that I was going on vacation with Theo.

- OK.

- Just 3 days.

- Good holidays. - Thanks.

- 3 days. - Yes.

So.

See you when I get back.

...

- Hello, Dr. Fournier.

- Hello, Miss Nielsen. - I just wanted to inform you

that following your intervention,

I studied the eyelids of the victim.

There was nothing.

No fingerprints or genetics.

- Oh.

- But the killer probably closed his eyes.

When the eye remains open, the cornea becomes opaque quickly after death.

When it is closed, it can take 24 hours.

- But you must know that. - Nope.

- The baby's cornea was opaque.

She died with her eyes open. They were then closed.

- OK. This does not change the guilt of Marc Varenne.

- But thank you for this information. - Nope. It's me

who thanks you.

- You thank me.

Why ?

- You are one of the greatest criminalists with whom

I had the opportunity to work. I'm not saying that

because of your knowledge. You look at things differently.

I never would have paid attention to this story without you.

You made me progress.

We should never settle for the minimum, but hey.

I was starting to get pissed off. But since you've been

here, I find myself working differently, with more heart.

If I seem a little rough to you sometimes,

it's because that's my way of being.

I very much appreciate our collaboration.

- That's it. - Very well.

Would you like me to file your victim eye report

- in the forensic report? - Yes. Thanks.

I'm going to file a copy in the case file for the prosecution.

- Goodbye, Dr. Fournier.

- Goodbye, Miss... Astrid. - Have a good day.

You don't have a job?

...

Bach Cello Suite Number 1.

...

- Hello.

Hello, Commander Coste.

It's Astrid. Hello.

PORTABLE.

- Hello ? - *-Yes, Captain Coste.

- Astrid?

- *It's you ? - Yes it's me.

*-Hello ? - - Yes.

- Don't move, I'm looking for the network. - I'm trying to get on something.

- You're stepping on something.

- You hear me ? - *-Yes.

*-What is it ?

- Marc Varenne's file has arrived.

- Did you find anything? - *-Yes. There are many elements.

In the lab report, they performed several tests

*based on samples taken.

In particular a hair screening test on the hairs found

- *under the fingernails of the victim. - So what ?

– He is tetrahydrocannabinol positive.

*-Varenne would have smoked cannabis? - - Yes.

- It's weird. The test he took in police custody is negative.

- Yes. Regulatory screening

*did not show any trace of narcotics.

Maybe the hair from the crime scene doesn't prove anything.

*And that Marc Varenne is innocent.

*-Astrid is right. It is strange that the hairs under the fingernails

- *are 2 months old. We take a walk. - Why am I talking to you, Coste?

You are on vacation !

*-That's weird. I'm not crazy.

- Miss Nielsen, why would those hairs be 2 months old?

- The hairs found contained traces of tetrahydrocannabinol.

A hair test retains drug traces for almost 2 months.

But Marc Varenne tested negative

- while in custody. - It's just a saliva test.

But the test may have failed.

*-Must check. If Varenne was clean, that calls everything into question.

- *Bravo, Astrid. - Thanks.

- We take a sample

for full screening. In

the meantime, Coste,

enjoy your holidays.

Go see the cows, grill some merguez,

but I don't want to hear from you anymore.

*-Count on me. - - Hey, Raph.

*-Hi. Hello, Astrid. - - Goodbye.

Tell me more about DNA. How accurate is it?

- We often think that genetic expertise is an affirmation.

In the facts,

- it is a calculation of probabilities. - I say.

This is why only 13 markers of the DNA sample are studied.

More would be too complicated.

- You're fooling me. - You are a real encyclopedia

- criminalistics. - Nope.

I only know what I learn from criminal

records or the Internet. Mr Frederic,

would it be possible to voluntarily make the DNA lie?

- On paper, yes.

- I'm done. - Good. Thanks.

Afterwards, in reality, it is more complicated. Maybe in a thriller.

*-We will have the results of the samples in 24 hours.

*And if they prove that Varenne lied, and that those

of the 1st test were wrong, the case will be closed.

- OK. In 24 hours.

- Kisses, Astrid!

- Kisses, Theo.

*-Goodbye, Astrid. - - Goodbye.

...

HE YELLS.

...

- I know what she's doing

with this cop, she is a criminal lawyer. The

Lamarque affair, the murderous novelist, is her.

The Filcanelli affair is also her.

Miss Nielsen, explain the toothpick thing to me.

Be nice, I can't sleep at night.

- Try to see things differently, in 3 dimensions.

I can't tell you more, it's urgent.

Mr Gaillard.

- Hello, Astrid.

- I need to talk to you. - Of your guardianship?

- Nope. It's more serious. - I'm trying to reach Cdt Coste.

- It has to do with this murder,

the day before yesterday?

- I better show you. - Come with me.

- You never wanted me to enter this room.

- I had never found anything so serious before.

It's here.

Mr. Gaillard, I have something very important to ask you.

There are 13 other murders,

- spread over more than 10 years. - 13, linked to the same killer?

But Astrid, these cases are closed!

The culprits have been tried.

- These defendants were apprehended because of forensic evidence,

DNA or fingerprints, with no solid motive.

And all have proclaimed their innocence, like Marc Varenne.

- We would not have 13 culprits in prison

but potentially 13 miscarriages of justice?

- Nope. Some have been charged with multiple crimes.

There, there.

But clues lead me to believe that everything

is linked to one and the same killer.

- Why ? It's not the same modus operandi.

- The modus operandi are different but have the blood

for common point. All the victims

bled profusely. And especially,

there is the signature of the killer, which is always the same.

- Signature ?

- Something that is not mandatory

in the process of killing, but that the killer does.

- And you found only one signature

- who links these crimes together? - Yes.

All the victims had opaque corneas, like Camille Vavin.

- So what ?

- And then, they all had their eyes closed.

You don't die with your eyes closed. Unless we sleep.

It was the killer who closed their eyes. It's his signature.

Eyes closed.

- That's good, Astrid.

It's good.

Your father would have been so proud of you. Astrid.

There was a problem.

Your father was injured in surgery.

- Dad always says he can get hurt.

- But...

He did not survive.

You understood,

Astrid?

- Yes I understood. - I understood well.

Dad won't come anymore.

Thank you for passing this information on to me.

- Good then...

As you know, your

father passed away.

We are here to help you. We will

put in place solutions to help you.

You understand ?

Obviously, she is

not independent.

It's even a miracle that her

father was able to maintain her

outside the institutional system. I don't see her being alone.

- I agree.

His verbalization is mediocre and his decision-making capacity is nil.

We must consider an investment quickly.

VIBRATOR.

- Hello, Mr. Gaillard.

- *Raphaëlle is not there. - I want to talk to you.

- What can I do for you ?

- It's delicate. - I'd rather show you.

*Could you pass?

- Is it about Astrid? - *-Nope.

Finally, yes, indirectly. When can you come?

- In an hour.

- Perfect.

...

- Good morning sir.

- That's it, we have the results of the blood and genetic tests.

- by Marc Varenne. - It must have been longer.

- It was important to you. - I put a stack to everyone.

- Thanks.

You put a stack.

- You don't feel alone?

- I like calm.

Are you

- sure of you? - Yes, I checked twice.

We were wrong on the first test.

The guy has a tiny amount of THC in

his body, matching that in the hair found.

What's wrong?

You should be happy.

- If Mr. Varenne is guilty, that no longer corresponds. And I'm sure

- from me for the other murders. - What other murders?

- I can not say anything.

- Very well.

- I leave you. - Thank you sir. Goodbye.

Or the results were deliberately distorted.

The results were deliberately skewed.

- Arthur, I don't like this urgency at the doc.

- I do not have the time. Are you going ? - Yes it works.

- Physical contact is really very unpleasant for me.

Would you be so kind as to step away, please?

HE'S LAUGHING.

- You have composure.

Come on, sit down.

- Do not touch. Do not touch.

- None are missing. - You know no cop

never made the connection between my various crimes.

And it's a small documentalist of

nothing at all who discovers the truth.

Wow!

- Please. - Wise, wise.

- I am wise. - Now you're going to put it all away.

- Yes.

There are 2 folders on the table. All files must be put away.

- Those are

closed cases and they will remain so.

- Yes, I'll put the files away.

- And be very careful what you do.

- I'm watching you. - Yes. Do not touch.

- Do not touch. - Do not touch. Thanks.

- Astrid, is there a problem?

- Yes,

there is a problem.

- Hello miss. - I come to see Mr. Gaillard.

- He must be in Miss Nielsen's space.

- I accompany you. - Thanks.

- Oh my God ! - Mr Gaillard!

Call for help.

- Astrid. - Look at me, Mr. Gaillard.

Astrid needs you.

Stay with me, Mr. Gaillard.

MERMAID.

- Gaillard died in the ambulance.

- Shit, it's not true! - Astrid is missing.

Gaillard was found in his office.

- Hey ! Don't touch that. It's fragile, an original edition.

- It's an exhibit. - What ? Nico, can you explain to me?

- Do you suspect Astrid? - We take readings.

- Is she suspicious or not? - Yes, Commander, she is.

And presumed innocent.

We do our job.

Work that you cannot do objectively here.

Cne Perran takes care of it.

Please leave the premises.

It's a crime scene.

- Good. All the markers found belong to Astrid and Gaillard.

There is no indication that

another person has entered here.

- What about Varenne's test results?

– He was positive for THC and cocaine.

Varenne was not clean. The hairs were telling the truth.

The 1st test was

- a false negative. It happens, sorry. - I found !

It is necessary to put the toothpicks in 3 dimensions. Look.

That's 4 equilateral triangles.

- Just had to look differently. - Yes.

- Commissar!

I know Astrid, I think I know how she thinks.

leave me 5 minutes

at the crime scene.

I have to think like Astrid. Look differently.

Look differently.

...

It's not his style, the

mess in his shelves.

Your guys did that?

- Nope. Impossible. - That's it.

It's a message.

Yes. Nicholas, look.

This shelving has 5 shelves. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Nico, did you do music theory?

- Yes a bit.

- OK. Imagine this shelving being a litter,

and each folder released, a musical note. What would it be?

- Uh, in treble clef, that would be...

Fa, la, do,

mid, fa.

- Fa, la, do, mi, fa.

OK.

In Anglo-Saxon notation, each note corresponds to a letter.

So do,

f.

The, A.

Do, C.

- Mi. - E.

F, A, C, E, F. "Side F".

- It means something. - It's just files.

- You said treble clef.

Are there others?

- There are 8 of them. The other best known is the bass clef.

- OK. Go ahead.

- Uh, la, do,

mi, sol, la.

- A, C, E, G, A.

- "ACEGA". - Raph,

It does not mean anything.

- Uh, yes. Esteban Acega,

that's the name of my assistant.

- Police !

There's nobody.

- Oh fuck !

There are all the elements for the

preparation of the murder of Camille Vavin.

And all the elements to trap Marc Varenne. Astrid was right.

- Calm down.

There's no point in arguing.

I am in your imagination. I can't help you.

But try to find out how I would react in such a situation.

I would say a string

of colorful big words.

And then afterwards, I would think.

Acega didn't bring you here to let you die like this.

Otherwise he would have killed you on criminal

documentation. And then, at this time,

I had to decode your

message. And as I am

good cop, I'll find the place.

But it will take me some time.

You will have to save time,

Astrid.

- Win time. - I have to save time.

I have to save time.

- Miss Nielsen.

Who is going to be able to kill you?

I select a culprit based on his modus

operandi, so that the murder looks like him.

Oh yes...

Marc Varenne.

Déjà vu.

- You have no body hair, no hair,

you leave no traces.

But there always are.

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

You are sick.

- You can't imagine

- everything we found. - Samples of 30 people.

Blood, hair, skin, semen.

They all have a locker. His future culprits.

- He's one step ahead of us.

- Raphaëlle, this guy has a lot of blood on his hands. Astrid...

- Nope. We peel everything we found and we find Astrid.

- Okay, Raph. - And alive!

- We're a lot alike.

So brilliant.

But so different from the others.

You too have been judged,

rejected.

- But you, you never turned that into hatred, Astrid.

Don't let him bring you down to his level.

You have to have faith in yourself, Astrid. You are qualified.

It's good. Keep saving time.

- I'm capable.

"They laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them

"because they are all the same."

- They never laughed at me.

- Yes. You have no body hair.

People laugh when you're different.

- They were scared of me. - Nope.

- So...

I gave them a good reason to be afraid.

And you?

Aren't you scared, Miss Nielsen?

- Whether.

I'm afraid.

I'm scared inside.

But you are alone. You are very alone.

And you will always be alone.

- Thanks. It contained biology stuff, delivered the day before yesterday.

The address matches, but it was delivered to a company, Ichor SARL.

- Ichor, the blood of the gods

in Greek mythology.

- Ichor SARL. Social object :

research and development in biology. Acega runs it.

We have an address, a warehouse in a brownfield site.

- OK. - Let's go.

- No touching, please.

Physical contact is unbearable to me.

I have studied your crimes. You are not a barbarian.

You don't torture your victims.

My feet are tied. Keep me like this

is unnecessary.

- Which was your favorite?

- None.

- Which is the most successful, from a forensic point of view?

-Camille Vavin.

I preferred that of Camille Vavin.

- Yes why ?

- Because you were wrong. - Do not be mistaken.

And I came back to you.

It is thanks to this crime that the puzzle could be solved.

- Not everything is

- what a game for you? - I like puzzles.

I like puzzles.

- So,

how do you plan to solve this little puzzle,

Miss Nielsen?

- By dropping the lock so that everything collapses.

GUNSHOT.

SIRENS.

- Astrid! Astrid. Astrid.

- You decoded my message. - Yes ! Yes.

- And Mr. Gaillard?

- He is dead.

I'm sorry.

...

- I'm sorry, Astrid.

- I can see it ? - Sure.

...

- Miss Nielsen

ran away when we were at her house. We have to take her.

- Certainly not. - Oh yes. And why this ?

- Astrid Nielsen is my responsibility.

- I am going to tell you 2 or 3 things. - You're just his employer.

You have no rights. Unless she's

under your care, we can take her.

- I'll ask for it. - Astrid's father entrusted her to me.

- Do you realize what you are doing?

- Fuck you.

- We tried to put it back as it was.

I had taken photos before the intervention of the scientist.

It's the least we could do. Miss Nielsen,

Astrid, I think we misunderstood you.

- I know that Mr. Gaillard's disappearance is difficult.

But you can count on us. We are here to surround you.

- Thanks.

...

PIANO TUNE.

...

- Miss Nielsen,

I am a guardianship judge. Do you know what that means?

- A guardianship judge is in charge of safeguard procedures,

guardianship and guardianship.

The function was created in 1964 during the supervisory reform.

- Yes would have been enough.

- You asked me if I knew what a guardianship judge was.

- I replied to you. - Your tutor, Mr. Alain Gaillard,

director of the criminal documentation service is dead.

- He has been murdered. - With a knife.

- Before this tragic episode, he sent us a letter

in which he tells us of elements that suggest

that this supervision is perhaps no longer necessary.

Guardianship is a measure of protection.

If you tell me yes, I can order a show of hands and

you'll walk out of here a civilly responsible adult.

Is that your wish, Miss Nielsen?

...

- I said yes. I am a civilly responsible adult.

...
