Wouldn't be listening
to us, would you?

This gang could be connected
to Batille's killing.

They stabbed him to death,

but left the recorder,
which has their voices on it.

I don't think so.

So you're letting
Cavre go on a wild goose chase.

Could you tell us anything
about the man?

That he's a coward.

I'm in trouble.

You have to come home.

You've just challenged a killer.

You can't leave Paris.

Better hurry.

Mass is in 15 minutes.

Maigret?

You decided to show up.

Well, you needn't have bothered.

I can handle things here.

That's not what you said
last night.

Last night I was upset.

What happened to Janos?

Good morning, Countess.

Dr. Bouchardon,
good morning.

I kicked Janos out.

I'm kicking them all out.

I've relied too long
on untrustworthy men.

I don't include your father
in that.

I'm sorry for what I said
last night.

It wasn't true.

I apologize.

You should go back to Paris,
Maigret.

I'll look after Saint-Fiacre.

Who am I photographing, exactly?

Maigret thinks Antoine Batille's
killer might be here.

Where is the boss?

Lucas said he had to leave town.

Personal.

Where's Torrence?

Yeah, I got Antoine's father,

his sister.

Looks like we're starting.

He leadeth
me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in
the paths of righteousness

for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through

the valley
of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil.

For thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou a no in test my head
with oil...

Bouchardon!

I'll ask again.

What's the point of this?

Maigret asked for it.

Maigret knows
we have the murderer.

He said so yesterday,
so what are we doing?

Anyone?

Look, we need to get
the art thieves back in a room

and put the screws to them.

Put the screws to them?

Yes!

You know what I mean.

You know what I mean.

Sergeant Lucas,

if you can't
get hold of Maigret,

I'll get hold of Kernavel.

We only have these suspects
for so long,

and we are wasting time.

It was a
heart attack, Captain Chabot.

She had complained to me
of chest pains,

feeling faint.

I gave her pills
for high blood pressure

and, and I begged her

to go and get
a proper checkup, but...

And her son was
breaking her heart.

This is just tragic.

Lucas.

Boss.

We did surveillance
on the funeral.

We got the photos, but we
don't know what to do with them.

Can I see them?

Sure, where are you?

Saint-Fiacre, near Montmirail.

What? That's...

That's two hours away.

Boss, we need to work
the Batille case, I...

Do we get the art thieves
back in?

Yes.

Despite the business

with the photographs
this morning?

Yes.

Keep questioning the gang,
and if the media ask questions,

just tell them we're not looking
for anyone else.

Boss,

you're trying to send a message
to someone, aren't you?

Who?

I don't know.

Boss, is there anything
we can do to help?

Yes.

A woman just died.

A woman I came here to help.

I need a hand down here.

Who can you spare?

You can have
Janvier and Lapointe.

They're owed time off.

Tell them to meet
me at La Manon hotel in Saint-Fiacre.

And bring the photos.

Thanks, Lucas.

Madame Jaume.

Can I speak to Ernest?

I was told he was altar boy
at this morning's mass.

He's not here.

I don't
know where he is.

Thank you very much.

Hello, Ernest.

What did you give the countess
in church this morning?

Nothing!

Let go of me!

Get off of me, you big pedo!

Who gave you this?

Lost something?

They are mine...
she didn't even give me

time to pack.

Where are you gonna go?

How would I know?

I sacrificed so much
moving here.

And then she was irrational.

The accusations.

She was not a well woman.

I'd stick around, if I were you.

Why should I?

Do you want your face
all over the TV?

A lot of people like me
coming after you?

Stick around.

Come on, Janos.

What are you doing here?

Having a pee.

You have no jurisdiction here...
I want you to leave.

I am leaving,

but I'm not going away.

Nor should you.

Torrence.

Boss, I got a call for you.

He says it's about Batille,

but he'll only talk to you.

Thanks.

Uh, put him through.

This is Maigret.

Don't bother to trace the call.

I won't be on long enough.

We're not tracing it.

Do you know who I am?

No.

But I know what you did.

But I know what you did.

Then why did
you tell lies in public?

To get you to call me.

Very clever.

Okay, if you're so clever,

have I killed before?

I don't know.

But can I ask you a question?

Do you remember his face?

Antoine Batille.

Well, you went back
and looked at him,

then stabbed him again.

So,

do you remember his face?

Yes.

And does he stop you sleeping?

Better hurry.

Mass is in 15 minutes.

Can I help you with something?

Chief Inspector Maigret.

Maigret?

Are you...

Was this...

I am.

And this...

Well, I suppose it was, once.

Ah! Well!

Come in, please.

Please, come in.

Natalie,
guess who's here.

Maigret.

The son of Evariste Maigret,

the estate manager before me.

Madame Gautier.

Mademoiselle...
I'm his daughter.

And bank manager in Montmirail.

That's right, Crédit Rural.

Yeah, my wife and I separated
some years ago.

She found country
life too hard. Mm.

And you've made some changes.

Oh, the old place was
completely falling apart.

Sadly, I had no choice.

And I still don't
know why you kept this old table.

I kept it
because it has character.

Character and for continuity.

Dad?

Is everything okay?

Uh, yes.

Of course.

The countess...
it's a terrible tragedy.

We're heartbroken.

Poor dear Sophie.

Tell me about Janos Varga.

Tell me about Janos Varga.

Oh, well...

I'm afraid it's not
a very edifying story.

Attractive man,

vulnerable older woman.

He took advantage of her?

Well, I wish she'd spent
less on his "art."

But in the scheme of things,

I suppose
it didn't really matter.

Anyway, I hear he's gone...
good riddance.

You hear?

You gave him a lift
half an hour ago.

Where to?

A hotel in Montmirail.

He had nowhere else to go...
I felt sorry for him.

The countess's son
will be here soon.

What will you tell him?

Is that any of your business?

Do you want me
to make it my business?

Look, it's obvious.

The estate is bankrupt.

Things started to go wrong
under your father,

I'm afraid.

Don't get me wrong,
he was a decent man,

but out of his depth, and...

Well, Sophie trusted him
until it was too late.

I did what I could.

I, I sold what farms I could
to stem the bleeding, but, uh...

What will your advice
to Maurice be?

Sell... he has no choice.

I doubt the sale will
even pay off the overdraft.

I'll do my best
to help him, of course.

It's not like he ever showed
much interest in the place.

Again, I'm

sorry your visit was,
was so sad.

Have a safe trip back to Paris.

I'm not going back to Paris.

I'm taking this.

What? It belongs to the estate.

It belongs to my father.

Bought it as a gift for
the countess's 21st birthday.

This was his copy. Wh...

Um, ju...
Maigret.

Cavre got a result.

Branchu and Sovran
both made statements

refuting Mila's alibi.

We haven't had a lab report
back on the knife.

The other evidence
is enough to charge Mila

for Antoine's murder,

so, knowing the thing
that you know,

which you are refusing to share,

should we go ahead and charge?

Yes.

But put my name
on the charge sheet.

Cavre
will be royally pissed off.

He's not the only one
who'll be pissed off.

He'll thank me in the long run.

You're playing
a dangerous game, boss.

Janvier,

at last.

The game is working...
keep playing it.

My name on the charge sheet,
Mila as the killer.

Ooh!

It's all right for some.

From Antoine's funeral.

Thanks.

Can I have one of those, please?

Not yet.

I need you to go
to Montmirail town hall.

Ask for the property records,

find out who owns these farms.

Also, when they were bought,
how much for,

and who did the financing.

We've just driven for two hours.

And the office closes
in two hours.

If anyone gives you any grief,

tell them
it's a murder investigation.

You can take this.

You can take this.

You can keep it.

Maigret.

Sweetheart.

Are you all right?

I'm so sorry about the countess.

It was in church,
like my dreams.

She died almost in front of me.

I'm sorry, my love.

But look, about your text,

I dropped in on Hélène,
because I,

I think you must have misheard

about the countess's condition.

What do you mean?

You wrote high blood pressure.

That's what the doctor said.

But the pills you
photographed were fludrocortisone.

So...

Hi.

Uh, fludrocortisone
is for hypotension...

low blood pressure.

If you give this to someone
with high blood pressure,

you're just exacerbating
the condition.

So you must have misheard,
because

no doctor would prescribe these.

No, uh, of course...
thanks, Hélène.

Are you coming back or staying?

Staying.

A little bit longer.

I saw on the news

you're charging someone
in the boy's murder.

Yes, but not the killer.

He called me.

And?

And I don't know.

He's made contact,

so I'm one step closer to him.

Are you in the right place,
Maigret?

You mean, in my head?

No.

In reality.

Geography.

You should be here.

Paris.

A crime was committed here, too.

I rolled the dice.

Now I have to follow through.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I had to go to the
morgue in Montmirail to identify her.

I thought how young she seemed.

But then, she was young.

52.

52.

Yes.

The same age as my father.

She told me you liked it.

Calvados.

Thank you.

Why are you here?

Your mother called me.

She said she was ill, scared,

and surrounded by people
she didn't trust.

I came, but not in time
to help her.

I let her down.

I'm the one who let her down.

And I'm afraid I'm going
to keep on doing it.

I'm going to sell the château.

Gautier says I have to.

This place destroyed my mother.

I won't let it destroy me.

I will walk
away without a backwards glance.

I felt the same when my
father died, that,

that it had killed him.

I left.

Never wanted to see it again.

Is that why you went to Paris?

The police?

Paris, yes, but not the police.

I went into a black hole
for two years.

Drink, drugs, everything else.

Like I wanted to flush
Saint-Fiacre out of my system.

What happened?

Well, someone was kind.

Told me to grow up.

Who?

You do what you have to do.

All I will say is,

Gautier was not
on your mother's side,

and he's not on yours.

But he's not wrong
about how things are.

And what choice do I have?

I have no money, no recourse.

Nothing.

I believe bad things
were done here.

Not just today,

but for years.

If you're willing to fight,

I can give you the ammunition.

Are you hungry?

Most of the time.

I don't know what we have.

Then let's have a look.

Yep.

Madam Prosecutor.

I think you know
that I'm all about loyalty.

The team.

Yes?

When the leader of that team

absents himself from the work,

but still takes credit
for the results of that work,

isn't one obliged to protest

on behalf of the team?

You're talking about Maigret?

Yes.

He insisted on putting his name
on a charge sheet

where he had nothing,
literally nothing,

to do with closing the case.

Plus, by the way,

where is he?

Nobody seems to know,

apart from maybe Sergeant Lucas.

And she...
Maigret is in Saint-Fiacre.

An urgent personal matter.

You knew.

Still.

It's not right.

It's not ideal.

I'd like my protest
to go on the record.

He's the chief inspector,

but sees fit to swan off
into the middle of nowhere

on some personal matter,

but still take the credit
for other people's hard work.

And you're 100% confident

in this work? Yes, ma'am.

We have built a good case.

Watertight?

As watertight as any case
can be, you know,

but lawyers and courts... Yes.

Thank you, Inspector Cavre.

Thank you, ma'am.

You're allowed to just
take time off like this?

Disappear from work?

Well, it's a risk I had to take.

Janvier.

Mm.

You have copies of everything?

Good... see you at the hotel.

The ammunition is starting
to come in.

Tomorrow, you should
request a meeting here.

Invite Gautier, his daughter,

Dr. Bouchardon,
even Janos Varga.

No.

Yes.

Tell them you're selling
Saint-Fiacre,

and you want to thank everyone
for everything they've done

for your mother over the years.

Invite that Gendarmerie
Captain Chabot, as well. Maigret.

I don't understand.

I'll be here early
tomorrow morning

with Janvier and Lapointe.

We'll give you the ammunition.

Then you'll understand.

Then you'll be angry.

Saint-André?

Lucas... you're working late.

Lucas... you're working late.

I think I've
got him on the line.

Put him through.

Thanks, Lucas.

Maigret.

You're right, I haven't slept.

I keep seeing his face.

And when,
when I turned him over,

he looked at me
like I'd come to help him.

Grateful.

And that made you angry.

Yeah.

I had to show him
I hadn't come to help.

So I stabbed him again.

Then he knew who I was.

You there?

I'm here.

Do you have
an answer to the question,

"Have I killed before?"

I still don't.

The stranger death, that's
the thing you fear the most.

Isn't it?

No connection
between killer and victim.

Yes, we are afraid of that.

So my next victim
will be a stranger,

and you won't solve that one,
either.

You're overlooking one thing:

there is a connection.

Between you and me.

Just because I talk to you
doesn't mean you know me.

You don't know me.

I'm looking at you right now.

You're suffering.

You keep seeing his face.

You can't sleep.

Christ's sakes, boss.

Keep at it.

We've a job to do.

The last of the Lafite.

Come on, Captain Chabot.

You're not on duty.

My mother would be very happy

to see the house full again
with friends

and colleagues.

And colleagues.

Salud.

But all good things must come
to an end.

I'm going to take
Monsieur Gautier's advice

and put the château up for sale.

Oh, my dear boy.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you, Dr. Bouchardon.

And because you were not just
such good friends to my mother,

but you are also wise
in the ways of the world,

I want to ask what you think.

How much will I get?

Mademoiselle Gautier,

our accounts are held
at your bank.

What's our overdraft?

Nearly two million euros,
I'm afraid.

Huh, ouch.

Um, Gautier, what can we get
for the remaining land?

Oh, well, it's very hard
to estimate.

We'll have to compare
with recent sales.

All right.

Let's do that.

Middle Farm.

Sold five years ago.

300 hectares,

about the same as the land
I have left.

What did it go for?

Uh, I'm afraid I, I don't

have the figures in my head.

It sold for 850,000 euros.

That's not good.

Well...

You have to understand,

the, uh, land values
had been declining.

I could only find one buyer.

Understood.

But what about the farmhouse?

It was 18th-century.

850,000 euros
including the farmhouse.

It was in terrible condition.

Your mother was lucky
to get that much.

Okay?

It was sold

18 months later

for two-and-a-half million
euros.

Okay, hm.

Saint-André.

Much larger, 500 hectares.

Given arable land's worth

7,000 a hectare?

We must have got
at least three million.

Saint-André was sold
for 970,000 euros.

Most of the land
was just grazing.

Prices were depressed
at the time, and, and...

And you could only find
one buyer.

Yes!
I could only find one buyer.

Look, I can see
what you're doing.

You've brought these people
here,

whoever they are...

Saint-André
was sold two years later

for 3.5 million euros.

3.5 million.

Some profit.

Who was the lucky buyer?

A limited
company based in Liechtenstein.

Services et Conseils Rurales,
S.A.R.L.

The same company
also bought Middle Farm.

Its directors
are Sebastian Gautier

and Natalie Gautier. I don't have
to listen to this... come on, Natalie.

Bloody ridiculous.

Don't... hey.

Get out of
the way, get out of the...

Captain Chabot,
tell him to get out of the way!

He's a friend of the family...
what can I do?

Shall I summarize, Gautier?

Shall I summarize, Gautier?

Whenever my mother
needed to sell a property

to keep the estate alive,
you handled the sale.

You sold to yourself
for the lowest possible price,

then sold on a few months later
for a huge profit.

I'm sure when I tried
to sell the château,

you'd have only found
one buyer for that, too:

Services et Conseils Rurales,
Liechtenstein.

Dr. Bouchardon.

Anything to say?

What can I say?

I'm shocked.

It is shocking, isn't it?

But perhaps not as shocking

as prescribing her the drugs
that killed her.

What are you talking about?

My mother suffered
from high blood pressure,

but for months,
you prescribed her drugs

for low blood pressure,

making a heart attack
more likely, especially

in the event of a sudden shock.

Rubbish!

I prescribed her drugs according
to the symptoms she told me.

This is a request for
an autopsy to be performed

on Countess Sophie
de Saint-Fiacre

due to the
suspicious circumstances

surrounding her death.

Don't you dare!

Janos.

I've neglected you, I'm sorry.

I have nothing to do
with any of this.

This phone was given to Sophie
de Saint-Fiacre yesterday.

It has photos of her
of a sexually graphic nature.

A statement from Ernest Jaume,
altar boy,

saying Janos Varga paid him
100 euros to give the countess

the phone in church
and remove it afterwards.

That was the shock

that stopped her heart.

Can you prove it? I don't know.

But if you check
their call logs,

you'll see they were
all talking to one another,

especially after they heard
that I was coming.

I will examine these
so I can understand fully

what has happened.

I'll tell you what's happened.

I worked, I slaved
to keep this place alive.

You!

What did you do but waste money

in Paris?

You're just like your mother,
a parasite,

living off the sweat of...

You saw that.

He assaulted him!

He insulted his mother.

What do you expect?

Do not leave this area.

Or I will issue warrants
for your arrest.

Get off me, I'm all right!

Sorry, sorry.

I'm just a bit...

She would
have been proud of you.

Charge sheet for Xavier Mila for
the murder of Antoine Batille.

Charge sheet for Xavier Mila for
the murder of Antoine Batille.

Lab is not 100% on Mila's knife?

No DNA.

Obviously, the killer
would have cleaned it,

but it's a 100% match
for blade and stab depth.

Good.

Well done, Inspector.

Come with me

and we'll inform Monsieur Mila.

Wait... what time
was Batille stabbed?

Between 10:25 and 10:35.

I've been checking the
CCTV from the night Antoine was killed.

Camera on an ATM

near the Basilique
de Saint-Denis metro.

Who do you think they are?

That's Mila,
Branchu, and Sovran.

This is exactly
where Mila said he was

in his alibi, and,
as he also said in his alibi,

the other two are with him.

Mm-hmm... Maigret asked you
to track the robbers,

and you couldn't be bothered?

I'm an
inspector... it's not my job.

It is your job.

Clearly, Mila did not do it.

Is Maigret any closer

to identifying the real killer?

Wait.

They're talking,
but still no I.D.

What do you mean,
they're talking?

What, he knew all, he knew
it wasn't Mila, he, he...

Why would he do that?
Why would he do this?

You got the degree
in psychology, mate.

Okay, so what happens next?

Where is the killer?

Here, let me help you.

Thanks, I can manage. No.

No, I, I want to help you.

Thank you.

What you guys just did was
amazing.

I don't know
how I could ever repay you.

Easy... invite us round
for a weekend.

Two
weekends. Anytime you want.

It's me... I'm starting back.

Couple of hours max.

That's good.

I'm at home now.

Is everything okay?

Yes, uh...

You know, you roll the dice.

I'll see you soon.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Antoine Batille's killer is
in my apartment, he has my wife.

Janvier, we'll take your car.

Just a cordon
outside the building,

that's all... low-key.

He's just going
to walk in there?

He says he's a danger to
himself more than anyone else. No.

I'll speak to the director.

I will not risk lives...
there should be a RAID team

in there. Maigret knows the
killer... he's been talking to him.

He knows the
killer is waiting for him.

Madame Prosecutor, you have
to trust Maigret on this.

I did trust him,
and look where we are!

Okay.

Okay... low-key.

How did you find where we live?

I read that Chief Inspector
Maigret's wife

worked as a psychiatric nurse.

So I called every hospital in
town and asked to talk to you.

You should have been
a, a real feminist

and kept your maiden name.

I love my husband.

Having his name
doesn't diminish me.

If you say so.

Are you scared?

Yes.

I've never seen him angry.

I'm wondering
what it will be like.

LUCAS
Janvier?

Janvier... E.T.A. one minute.

Roger that... we're outside.

You've reached Zizou.

You want some breaking news?

Anything? TORRENCE: Just been

on the roof opposite...
they're in the kitchen.

Your wife's at the table...
she seems okay.

If Torrence can
see in, then so can a sniper.

No... can I have a radio?

Come in when I say, not before.

Boss, he's got a knife.

In case you need
to blow his head off.

It's Maigret.

I'm coming in.

Don't come any closer.

I'm sorry.

Has he hurt...

No.

We've been talking.

Why don't you sit down?

Why don't you sit down?

Did you get done
what you needed to?

Yes.

Stop.

You talk to me,

not her.

What do you want to talk about?

You disrespected me.

Called me a coward.

I did.

I'm sorry.

Well, you underestimated me.

Didn't you?

Tell me what you want.

Don't want to be
forgotten. What?

Of course.

No, she doesn't know
what she's talking about.

I know the answer
to your question:

have you killed before?

You have.

But it was a long time ago.

It wasn't planned.

Someone angered you,
or disrespected you.

You stabbed him.

You weren't caught.

You weren't even suspected.

But for months, you were afraid
you'd be found out.

You never were.

But eventually,
you began to get angry.

Because no one knew
what you'd done,

this incredible thing
that you'd done.

What had I done? Taken a life.

Crossed the line.

Removed yourself
from the community of man.

Torrence,
what's going on down there?

We got media arriving.

This is not gonna stay low-key.

Do what you can,
just keep people back.

Zizou, how the hell
did you find out?

What? One of you lot called me
from La Crim.

One of our lot?

And it's not just me...
everyone's coming.

Who was he?

Guy Dubois.

He was just a guy that went
with a girl I liked,

who I thought liked me.

I found him out by the river
by himself.

I went up to him.

He said, "What's up?"

I slid the knife into him.

He said, "What?", and then
he fell down, and I walked away.

How did you feel?

Sick... sick, sick.

I couldn't eat or sleep.

My parents were sure I was ill.

Then, uh,

I began to feel different.

You know, I'd done it,
like, I'd, I,

I'd crossed your line.

And you wanted
to feel like that again?

Yeah.

Why Antoine Batille?

I had spent the day walking,
and, uh,

looking, you know,
just looking, and, uh,

I thought
it was never gonna happen.

And then he just walked by,
soaked.

Happy.

He ordered a crepe.

A crepe.

He was happy and...

I wasn't, so I just,
I, I stabbed him.

They know I'm here!

I've got to get out of here.
That won't happen.

It will, with her.

I'll, I'll walk right out.

Don't move! Don't move!

I don't want to go
to prison... can you...

Will you, will you tell them
I, I couldn't help it?

I was driven to it.
I can do that.

And you,
you work with crazy people.

You look after crazy people,
so just tell them I'm mad, yeah?

Tell them, like,
I, I crossed your line.

Will you tell them? No.

Sad and lonely isn't mad.

It's just sad and lonely.

I don't agree with my husband...
you haven't crossed some

magical line.

He cares about the pain
that you feel.

I care about the pain
that you've caused.

You did terrible things.

Not incredible things.

You are responsible.

When you accept that,

you will be able to sleep.

Now, please,

give me the knife.

A gun.

You would've shot me.

Take a seat.

Uh, would you like a drink?

Please.

And one for...

I don't know your name.

It's Bercy.

Guillaume Bercy.

Clear to come in.

Door's on the latch.

Are, are you okay?

I'm fine.

We're fine.

We're fine.

Thanks, Andrea.

Will you give that back
to Torrence?

Better drink up, Guillaume.

Will you come visit me
in prison?

I will.

I'm sorry.

Huh.

You're done... find a new team.

You don't tell me
what to do... I am...

You're done.

Inspector Cavre

has asked for a transfer
out of La Crim.

He says the hostile
work environment

is affecting his mental health.

Honestly, Maigret, he was
two-faced and incompetent.

He's gone.

Two murders solved,
one from 15 years ago.

Three thieves charged
for the attempted theft

of a billionaire's
art collection.

And I saw this morning

that a Monsieur Gautier
and his daughter

were arrested
at Charles de Gaulle

trying to board a flight
to Dakar

with more than
five million euros in cash.

So we should be pleased...
are we?

If it weren't for my wife,

we would be looking
at a very different picture.

How is she?

Must have been traumatic,
to say the least.

We'll take some time off,
if that's okay.

Go to the country. Of course.

Welcome back, Maigret.

I'm Maurice. Louise.

I'm Maurice. Louise.

A pleasure.

Tidied up a bit.

I can see... thank you.

My mother will
be just down there.

Church will be looked after.

A lot of things
will be looked after.

The château's open,
there's drinks waiting,

and something a bit better than
what I offered you last time.

I'll finish up here and see
you there in 20 minutes?

That will
be lovely, thank you.

Saint-Fiacre.

You've come home.
