Original subtitles

Today is a rare chance to experience a total solar eclipse.

PREVIOUSLY

- Why did you shoot? - It fired on its own!

- Call an ambulance! - Where is she?

Nour's gone missing.

- Nour! - She's been murdered.

We've just found her body.

She was strangled.

- Did you do something to her? - Shut your mouth, didn't you hear me?

He grabbed my arm and pushed me to the ground.

She should have said no.

Nour and Loane have an argument with Quentin,

and six days later Nour is dead?

I wasn't even at The Cross!

Quentin said he stayed in his car, next to the service station

and that he fell asleep.

Keep it down, Coco's here.

They call me Radio Coco.

What are you doing?

I love you.

Get out.

She was on contact with a blanket before being thrown in the lake.

THE ECLIPSE

Good sleep?

So.

What's the story today?

Same as yesterday.

Shame.

Will all this crap be over soon?

I've got work to do.

That all depends on you.

For now, the cows can wait.

- He hasn't come to his senses overnight. - Are you surprised?

Sorry?

- I asked if you were surprised. - Nothing surprises me anymore.

Check his alibi.

Find someone who saw his car parked.

If it was parked there after 5.40 PM,

he didn't have time to get to The Cross to kill Nour.

My sister just messaged. I'm heading to the service station.

Your sister?

Yes, she works there and she says...

the guy who was on the till during the eclipse is working today.

- Will you let Johanna know? - I'm on it.

Good.

Simon!

What are you doing, sweetie?

I'm making night.

Do you think Angèle's going to die too?

Is there a problem with Angèle?

She's of the night too.

Sweetie, I don't understand. Can you explain?

Angèle, hurry up please!

Coming!

OK, I'm here.

What's all this?

You look like a witch.

Yeah, well what you think...

No, but he's right.

Isn't it a bit much?

What? So I'm not allowed to look pretty?

It's a funeral, not a...

At least take off the lipstick.

- OK, well, I'll just... - No!

What? Please, Simon, let me...

No!

- We'll be late to the Courtins. - Not hungry.

He's going to the Courtins?

Good. I don't want him hanging around me all day.

Hey, what's your problem?

Mum!

Right. Your dad's on duty until 2 PM. See you at the church, OK?

- Thank you, bye. - Bye.

Joseph was here during the eclipse.

He stayed until closing at 11 PM.

- Hello, are you new? - Hello.

I've been here a month.

Tell me, do you recognise...

this car?

No, I don't.

I don't remember every car that parks here.

And what about him?

Yes.

Yeah, I've seen him.

He got drunk in his car, which was blocking the trucks.

He was pissed, we had words, but he agreed to park next to the skip.

There? Did he stay long?

I don't know.

Thank you.

- Thanks, bye. - Bye.

What are you doing?

It's not like he's left his ID in there.

Maybe not his ID, but some other evidence.

Anthony.

You think he threw it in the skip after the murder?

It fits the timings.

He buys the alcohol at 5.40 PM

drinks, then drinks some more for Dutch courage,

joins Nour at The Cross

and tries to stop her from telling the police about Loane's rape.

OK, and on the way back, he dumps it in the skip.

Could be, yes.

Yes, it fits.

I've got to go. Talk at the station before the funeral?

See you later.

I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Come in.

Take a seat.

Right, the results came back very quickly.

So...

Yes.

It's Nour's blood type.

There are also traces of mud containing a mixture of silica and sulphur.

That's very local to us. Here, if you're interested.

Reed seeds?

Wouldn't that fit with Galens lake?

Yes, it could.

The blanket was dragged along the ground, right?

I think so.

And based on how the mud has soaked into the fibres,

there was a heavy object inside.

So it looks like he used the blanket to drag her to the lake.

It’s likely.

Do you know when you'll get the DNA results back?

That's going to take a little longer.

You know what, I'll get on to it.

I'll call the lab and get them to move this case to the top of the pile.

Great.

- I don't know. - Come on.

I didn't even know that blanket existed.

Really? How did it end up where you were parked then?

I don't know! Someone wanted to put me in the shit!

You think someone put it there to frame you?

I can't think of another reason.

- Who knew you were parked there? - I don't know!

The evening of the eclipse was a blowout, everyone was looking for Nour.

I can't see who'd have noticed me.

- Great, you've given us some great leads. - You're the cops, not me.

I want to believe him.

I don't.

Don't you think it's all a bit too easy?

If he did it, why didn't he destroy the blanket?

It's idiotic to just throw it in a skip so close by.

He's a kid, not a serial killer.

He'd just killed Nour.

He was drunk.

Probably in shock.

No, I think he just wasn't thinking straight.

Even when he's sober, I'm not sure he thinks straight.

He raped a girl,

then paid her not to talk.

He thinks he's in a movie, that's all.

Yeah, well even in the movies

the bad guy doesn't just reveal where he's hidden the evidence.

Maybe he thought the skip would get emptied.

Maybe.

OK.

I'll give you it to you.

We'll ask the council when the skip was last emptied.

We'll know if the blanket was dumped before or after he was taken into custody.

I need to run.

Wait.

I spoke to Gaël.

It's complicated.

Are you having regrets?

That's not the complicated part.

I understand.

- My condolences. - Thank you.

Our parents couldn't make it, I'm sorry.

My condolences.

Thank you.

You OK?

Before the problems with Quentin they were eating out of our hands.

Now, this is how they look at us.

- Sheep, I swear. A flock of sheep. - Stop now, Aurélie.

Raphaël's turned them against us.

- Aurélie... - Look.

They're talking about us.

Tell your family to leave.

What did he say to you?

Nothing, forget it.

Are you OK?

Excuse me.

Honey...

Come with us.

You can help us carry the coffin.

OUR DARLING DAUGHTER

Oh Lord...

It's hard to understand the death of someone so young.

That a life can be cut short when it is just beginning.

No child of God should have to bury their own child.

Today we stand here before you, torn and beaten.

And so we turn to you...

OK.

OK, see you later.

The skip was emptied two days ago.

So the blanket was left there while Quentin was in custody.

But no one knew he was parked there.

I don't understand.

Shit.

I need to tell you something.

You spoke about the investigation at Coco's!

Coco!

That woman is a gossip!

A blabbermouth!

This is a village for fuck's sake!

Now, who knows how dumped that fucking blanket!

Shit.

OK, sorry.

I'm sorry.

OK, here's what you're going to do.

Go back to Coco and ask her who she's spoken to.

You go see every person she spoke to to find out who each of them spoke to.

Understand?

Off you go then.

Fucking hell.

Right.

I'll have every phone used in the service station area in the last 48 hours tracked.

With a bit of luck...

We have learnt something.

Not to breach procedure?

Yes, but I mean the fact the guy dumped the blanket then

tells us something about him.

He held onto the evidence for seven days. He has no strategy. He took a huge risk.

So?

So he makes spur-of-the-moment decisions as opportunities arise.

Quentin's being taken into custody made him act.

- That's why he dumped the blanket there. - So you think the guy's a novice?

Maybe. Because he's made mistakes, right?

He dumped evidence without checking when the skip would be emptied.

A young person then.

Yes, Françoise?

What?

No...

No, wait. I'm on my way, Françoise. OK.

- What's going on? - Shit, it's Simon.

I'm sorry.

- I can't keep looking after Simon. - I understand, of course.

- I have André too. - I know.

- I can't always have both eyes on him. - Where was he?

On the A-road.

Mayé brought him back here.

Simon.

Sweetie.

What are you doing?

That's your sister's bracelet.

What is it that's wrong?

Simon, look at me please.

I'm really sorry, Françoise. It's...

Why did you do it, sweetie?

Why did you run away like that?

Simon.

Is it because I didn't want you to come to the funeral?

I don't get to decide that, sweetheart.

The doctor does. Do you remember what he said?

The doctor said that there were too many people.

Too many people for you at the church.

Simon.

I want to stop.

Stop.

- Sweetie... - Stop!

Stop the car!

Calm down, Simon, please.

Sweetie.

I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't, I was scared.

What were you scared of?

It was dark, I was scared.

Why didn't you call for Angèle?

She wasn't there.

- What? - It was 2.37 AM. She wasn't there.

It was 2.37 AM. I was scared. She wasn't there.

Now I can't trust you, or ask for your help?

Why are you always on at me?

- It's my life, OK? Get off my back! - What about your brother?

Simon was asleep!

Where were you?

Nowhere. Out walking.

I needed some air. That's allowed, right?

The one time I do something wrong! I always do what you want, don't I?

What?

So you can tell your friends, "Angèle's great, Angèle's easy..."

What are you talking about?

What's going on?

Seriously, I...

This isn't like you.

How would you know what I'm like?

You don't know anything about me. You don't know who I am!

- Wait, sweetie... - Seriously, just let me go.

Where are you going?

Angèle!

To Mathilde's. Inès is there. Enough info for you?

We can't stay here all day, Luca.

We have to go now.

I don't even know what I'm doing here.

TO OUR BELOVED DAUGHTER

I'd have liked to carry her coffin.

TO NOUR, FOREVER OUR FRIEND

You can't make people forgive you.

You know her grave's in the same row as Dad's?

Oh yeah.

- I hadn't noticed. - Not true.

- You just never come and see him. - Because he's not here.

It's why you drink.

Want to do something this afternoon?

Shit, you're fucking unreal.

Unreal.

Luca.

Seriously!

Where are you going?

DO NOT READ!

LUCA, MY LOVE I LOVE HIM

I LOVE HIM WE'LL MAKE LOVE

DIE!

PHONE TRACKING REQUEST

TELEPHONE NUMBER TO TRACK

OWNER ID: ANGÈLE CROISET

I've got news.

The GPS has spoken.

Quentin's car was definitely at the service station

between 5.34 and 8.15 PM.

You OK? Are you tracking a phone?

No, I was checking if the list we'd requested had arrived, but it hasn't.

Don't expect them in a hurry.

What has the judge said about Quentin?

Electronic tag until his court appearance.

Anthony didn't get anything useful out of Coco.

No lead.

- Did you expect anything else? - Not really, no.

It's the DNA results for the blanket.

And?

"Unusable DNS samples..."

What? Surely you're used to this by now.

There is a match.

And?

Luca.

Luca's DNA is on the blanket.

One moment, Anthony.

How long ago did he leave?

I don't know. An hour, maybe.

Sorry, Anthony.

Yes, about an hour so brief the patrol cars...

No, David, he's not on the run!

Where is he then?

You tell him!

Hang on a moment.

He knew the DNA results were coming in today.

No, that's not what this is.

Then what is it?

Yes, Anthony.

Lockdown around the cemetery.

I'm sorry.

No idea where he might be?

We should leave.

There's nothing left for us here.

We celebrated my last birthday with Dad here.

You two had something special.

Yes.

You didn't feel so alone with him, right.

You're going to have to be strong.

Here, look.

What is this?

I don't know! Must be someone with almost the same DNA as me!

Or you're shitty lab's made a mistake.

There's no mistake. It's your DNA.

What happened the night of the eclipse?

Someone's taking you for a ride.

They tried to fuck Quentin over, now it's my turn.

No, the only person taking me for a ride is you.

I'll ask once more. What happened the night of the eclipse?

Nothing, fuck's sake! I've told you a million times!

Watch the video! You've been filming me for hours,

There's nothing else to add!

OK, fine.

So?

So he thinks I'm an idiot.

I'll go back over all the interviews.

So he's staying in custody?

Of course he is.

It wasn't him.

I don't know what's going on, but it can't be him.

He didn't have time to kill Nour and get her body to the lake.

We have everything. Why can't we crack this?

Know what? The interviews are right behind you.

JOHANNA: DO YOU WANT ME TO COME OVER?

NO.

How's Luca?

I don't really want to talk about it.

Want to eat with us tonight?

To celebrate Quentin's return.

Come on, Manue.

You need a change of scene. To forget what's going on with your son.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Oh right, that's the term.

I'll explain that to Quentin.

I'm tired, I'm going in.

I understand.

I'll leave you to have a drink.

You ignored my privacy! You read my diary!

All you had to do was not touch it. You disgust me!

Yes, I'm disgusting. I'm sorry.

But can you understand why I'm worried?

I was angry when I did it, that's all.

Nour was so full of herself sometimes. I'd had enough.

But...

Have you felt this way about Luca a long time?

Don't you get that I don't want to talk about it?

Can I go to sleep now?

Was that where you were yesterday?

Angèle?

- Were you with him yesterday? - Yes, I went to his house.

Is that all?

- You didn't do anything else? - Like what?

I don't know! Angèle.

Listen, Luca is accused of murder.

You take off in the middle of the night to be with him.

During that time someone dumped a blanket to frame Quentin.

What am I supposed to think?

What are you trying to tell me?

Do you think I killed Nour?

Of course not!

I'm worried things could take a wrong turn.

I don't want you to go through what Luca's going through.

So I don't know what happened,

but your little outing, and all of this...

Don't tell anyone, Angèle.

Understand? Don't say anything to anyone.

OK?

Why?

Because it could be used against you.

Because it gives you a motive.

- Can we talk? - There's nothing left to say.

Please, Gaël.

There's a problem with Angèle.

I don't know why she's clamming up.

It's because of me.

I've asked too much of her, relied on her too much with Simon.

I don't know.

I thought...staying together would make us stronger.

Simon...

Sweetie.

Wait for me.

Want one?

No, I'm good.

You OK?

Luca can't have dumped that blanket.

You know that too.

He'd never frame his cousin, they're mates.

It makes no sense. The story doesn't add up.

You saw him looking for Nour's murderer.

Why would he go see Ryan if it was him?

Maybe he wanted to put us off the scent.

- You're sure he was here last night? - Yes, he was in his room.

I think.

You think?

I can't really remember.

Luca was out of control when his father died.

I couldn't cope.

But I know he didn't kill Nour. I know it.

Manue, the DNA.

The blanket was used to carry Nour's body.

Why are you here?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.

This isn't about me. It's a mistake.

It's objectively a fucking mistake.

How can you not see that?

Go please.

Please.

OK.

LUCA FINDS GUN 5.55 PM

So you didn't see him shoot?

No, I was peeing.

Could you see them?

No, they were right at the top.

When I heard the gunshot, then a scream,

I went back to them.

LUCAS GUNSHOT 5.56 PM

Who screamed? Who was it?

That's when they told me it wasn't them. It wasn't Angèle who'd screamed.

We heard noises and we went to look.

- What sort of noises? - Like someone in pain.

We saw it was Nour.

- She was on the ground. - Yes.

We ran towards her. That's when I saw she'd been shot.

We have to help her! Come on, help me!

Inès was the only one thinking straight.

After a while, she decided to go get help so she took her moped and left.

I'm going for help. Stay here with Nour.

Before she left, she told us to try and call an ambulance.

But I had no signal. It wasn't working.

Shit, there's no signal.

So I decided to climb higher to get signal up by the telegraph posts.

So Angèle and I went together.

We climbed up to get signal to call an ambulance.

- Where are you going? - To get signal, there isn't any.

Why did you leave her on her own? Why did you go together?

Because, I don't know. We weren't thinking.

We thought it would be easier with two of us.

We'd be quicker, we could help each other.

So you were together for all that time?

And Nour was on her own.

Nour?

The others have gone, but I'm here with you.

Angèle had an asthma attack when we were up by the telegraph poles.

Your asthma attack...

When was that?

When I ran.

When I got to the top of the hill.

Luca!

So I gave her the inhaler.

She started to get her breath back and feel better.

And that's when we decided to go back down to Nour.

And when we got back down, she wasn't there anymore.

OK.

Then we went back down and she had disappeared.

And you two never separated, that whole time?

No.

Last question, Luca.

Do you know the way from The Cross to Galens lake?

Yeah.

Why?

Good, I've got all that.

...delighted to listen to his new album.

It's nearly 8 AM here on Aveyron FM.

Good news on the weather front.

There will be sunshine all day. Mathieu?

Yes, sunshine today, aside from a few showers to the east...

- Any news? - No, I'd have called.

I should have come yesterday.

No, it's not what you think.

Hey there, what are you doing here?

Sim, say hello.

Hello.

He should be at the Courtins,

but things are a bit tricky with Anthony's mother.

I can't ask too much.

And Angèle already looked after him Saturday night.

I can't ask her again.

You want me to?

I can take him with me to the station, but...

No, no.

Right, Sim-Sim? Will you stay with me today?

Yeah, you seem keen.

You've been working hard.

OK.

Right. Inès.

She said she left on her moped to get help at 18:05.

And that she came back to The Cross at 18:45, or around then.

So we know Luca was with Nour for 40 minutes.

Yes, 40 minutes.

And 40 minutes is more than enough time for Luca to kill Nour

and take the body to Galens lake.

No.

No?

We've already talked about this. It couldn't have happened.

Yes it could have!

If he dragged the body on a blanket.

I'm sorry, but what's to say she wasn't taken by a car

and that the body was only dragged the last few metres?

Luca's DNA, for example!

I know what this means, OK?

I'm aware of that.

But you can't blame me, we don't have a choice.

I have no choice.

You know what. Try.

Take a blanket, take a dummy. You'll see it can't be done!

But...

I...

What's up with her?

She's...

Angèle says she was with Luca at the time of the murder.

So if we accuse him, she's guilty too.

Of perjury at the very least.

You think they're colluding?

I have no idea.

I don't know.

Shit.

Yes hi, it's David. ICT, please.

- Fred? - Yes.

- Hi, David. - What's news on the service station?

We've got the data, but there are over 2,000 entries.

We'll cross-reference them with the numbers we know.

OK. Could you track 07 84 53 12 17, please?

- Now? - Yes, now.

- It's Angèle Croiset's number. - Yes, I know that.

News?

Not really. One sec.

We've got something.

It pinged the relay post for the service station area

at 1.03 AM, 25th May.

OK. Thank you.

Need anything else?

Is something wrong?

I've got a surprise for you.

Look.

This is Mascara.

Mascara!

Come here.

Look.

Come here, sweetie.

Come on!

Give me your hand.

See?

Leave your hand there, she's very gentle.

Luca looked after her when he was little.

- Does he still? - Not so much.

Give her to me.

I could look after her. Then I wouldn't be so alone.

Not at the station?

- I can't stay on the investigation. - Why not?

Is there a problem with Angèle?

She's being interviewed right now.

Her phone was tracked to the service station area.

On Saturday night.

You knew she'd gone out?

- You'd have done the same. - You knew and you didn't say anything!

Manue!

It doesn't change Luca's situation!

You don't get to say that to me.

What are you doing here?

Can I stay with you?

Yes.

I mean, really stay.

You want to live here?

Yeah.

I'll keep out of your way, I swear.

What about your mother?

I don't care. I don't want to see them, or my brother.

Bring your things in, doll.

DO NOT READ!

Come here, sweetheart.

Go play in your room, OK?

It's just kids' stuff, all of that.

I can't talk to you, sorry.

It was Luca she went to see.

He's got into her head!

- Anthony. - Johanna, you know I can't talk to you.

That kid's a bad apple! Manue never knew how to deal with him!

Yes, I know the way to the service station.

Sometimes Luca and I buy alcohol there.

But I didn't touch the blanket, I don't know how to make you believe me.

So what were you doing there at 1 AM, all on your own?

I don't know.

I... I was unhappy. I didn't want to go home.

Why not?

Because Luca had chucked me out.

Why?

Because I told him I wanted to go out with him.

I didn't hear that.

I wanted to go out with him, OK?

Better?

How long have you wanted to go out with him?

I don't know.

Listen, Angèle.

I understand these questions are difficult.

But I'd rather it was me asking them.

He's a murder suspect.

Do you understand?

The night of the eclipse,

you said the two of you stayed together the whole time.

Do you confirm that?

Yes, I was with Angèle the whole time.

I've answered that question about 40 times now.

The night before last was she at yours?

So what?

When she left yours, her phone pinged in the zone where that blanket was found.

How do you explain that?

Luca, stay with me.

I'm the one talking to you.

This is murder.

If this isn't the truth, that makes you his accomplice.

Do you understand that?

Angèle.

What?

I think I forgot to tell you something.

Answer my question.

How do you explain it?

So she's the one who...

She tried to frame Quentin.

And she put my DNA on the blanket.

How would she have done that?

Luca went off on his own.

I stayed with Nour.

How long were you apart for?

- Not long. - How long?

I don't know, 15 minutes?

And you were with Nour?

Luca went to get signal.

And when I stayed with Nour I had my asthma attack.

I didn't have my inhaler and I went to see Luca.

I mean, I went to find Luca.

So there was a time when Nour was alone and Luca was alone too.

Yes.

Why didn't you tell us that?

Why?

Luca asked me not to.

I fired the shot, he...

He'd sent the video, and he was scared he'd be arrested.

I wanted to tell the truth, but he really scared me.

I swear, I'd have told you.

OK, Angèle's told me everything.

She told me you weren't always together.

Is this a joke?

Were you always together or were you not?

- Answer! - No!

No. We...

We weren't always together.

But I wanted to tell the truth.

She told me to lie.

She wanted me to lie because she wanted us to have something special.

Because she's nuts.

She came to mine two days ago.

She tried to kiss me, I said no.

And today she tells you this?

So no, we weren't always together.

We separated. I went to find signal, but she was with Nour.

She was alone with Nour at least 20 minutes.

Who knows what she did.

Maybe there was no asthma attack.

Maybe she lied. Can you be sure?

- Have you checked? - Be quiet!

I swear, I'm telling the truth.

We're getting nowhere.

We'll have them do a reconstruction.

And what about Luca?

Custody.

Angèle too.

She won't cope, you know that.

'Cos for Luca it'll be a walk in the park.

- Where will they go? - Recoules.

I'll get you visiting rights.

Thank you.

Manue...

I have to play the bad guy.

Maybe you don't know your daughter as well as you think you do.

Doing a reconstruction is the only way to find the answers.
