David!

Where are you hiding?

What are you playing at?

What do you want?

Do you want my skin?

(Music)

Can't remember anything?

You're welcome.

I had an appointment with David Wilcker.

At the lighthouse.

Why is this happening?

He wanted to talk to me.

What's that?

Blood.

Thanks... From whom?

Mine.

I had an accident.

Where's your gun?

Have you been taking your damn pills again?

How much, damn it?

Wake the fuck up!

We have to get back to the lighthouse.

Captain Cain, you're just in time.

A bullet to the heart, Mr. Prosecutor.

Death was two hours ago.

Time of call.

Which call?

A witness filed a complaint two hours ago,

accusing you of murder.

I don't even know the man.

Steve Baron, 40 years old.

Who filed the complaint?

David Wilcker.

Stuck in the window, 9 mm.

Hand over your weapon.

He didn't kill that man, he doesn't know him.

Your gun.

I don't have it.

He had an accident, the shock erased his memory.

Commander, I know your friendship for the captain.

You've been appointed head of the SRPJ

because you have the authority and the right stuff.

As of now, 5:50 a.m., I'm taking you into custody.

You're making a big mistake.

You have the right to remain silent.

Are you sure?

The judge questions David.

He couldn't have done it.

Cain's not guilty of anything, the judge will clear this up.

Where's the captain's office?

I need to conduct a search.

Do you have a letter rogatory?

Take off his handcuffs.

Édouard Mirabeau, examining magistrate at the TGI of Marseille.

I'm in charge of investigating the murder of Steve Baron.

You have the right to an attorney.

No need, I'm innocent,

I'm being framed.

Sorry, they say it's not your survey.

Yes, but this is my SRPJ.

If you'd prefer a transfer...

OK, go ahead.

I'll say I forced you.

How do you explain the fact that we can't find your gun?

And this blood?

I had an accident, I lost consciousness.

I mean, why would I kill that guy?

Have you ever killed someone you didn't know?

I had an appointment with David Wilcker, ask him.

You don't have to return everything, do you?

Step back.

Mr. Wilcker, can you tell me again what happened last night?

Captain Cain and I wanted to see each other.

He's the one who called and asked me.

We had to talk.

Did you agree?

Yes.

He told me to meet him at the Pointe lighthouse.

He didn't.

The lighthouse was his idea, I didn't know this place.

I was ambushed.

Please calm down.

Can I go on?

We've arranged to meet.

And I asked a friend, Steve Baron, to accompany me.

I didn't trust him.

Why not?

Since my release, Captain Cain has said several times that he wants to kill me,

and last night I thought it might happen.

Yes, another lie.

It proves you're lying. Look, you're alive and well.

Once inside the lighthouse, what happened?

He arrived, and he had a strange look on his face,

he looked like he was on drugs, like he is now.

David!

You want to kill me?

He wanted to hit me.

He was furious that I kept seeing his ex-wife.

He said I hadn't obeyed him.

Am I a killer or a bogeyman? “Obeyed what?

A week ago, Captain Cain said to his ex-wife

that if I didn't move out, he'd kill me.

And that I'd rip his guts out and make tires out of them.

Gaëlle can testify.

Leave Gaëlle out of it.

He hates me.

You're wrong, if I were gay, I'd propose a civil partnership.

He'd like me not to exist.

He did everything he could to put me in prison and keep me there.

He's lying!

It was Cain who provided the evidence that cleared him.

And set him free.

Come to your senses, and stay in your place.

And then, what happened?

In the dark, he must have mistaken Steve for me.

and shot him.

I ran away, he followed me, I hid and called the police.

Is your memory coming back?

I'm a cop, Judge, not a murderer.

If someone shot Steve, it had to be him.

Would I have killed my friend?

You have no friends.

It's too easy to pretend you don't remember.

Where did you hide your gun?

I know this man, Judge.

I'm not crazy, I'd never do the stupid thing of shooting him.

How can you be so sure? You say you don't remember anything.

(Music)

You should have let me kill him.

He trapped you like a rat.

I told you he wouldn't stop there.

We'll get him, I promise.

But regular.

(Music)

If Cain goes to prison,

this time, he won't be there to save your life.

We found this in his office.

“T, is that you?

Why was he taking these antidepressants?

He lost his best friend a few weeks ago.

Or was he depressed to see his ex-wife in the arms of his worst enemy?

What are you trying to prove?

Crime of passion, revenge?

I'm looking for a motive, yes.

I'll invent it!

Once again, do you confirm David Wilcker's comments?

Where are you hiding?

What do you want?

Did your ex-husband tell you, yes or no, that he wanted to kill David?

I know your sense of justice.

You've proved it.

Tell me the truth:

did your ex-husband tell you, yes or no, that he wanted to kill David?

Yes.

Yes, he did.

You shouldn't have talked to the judge for me.

It was a private conversation with Fred.

I told you out of honesty because I trust you.

Not so you could use it against him.

He killed a friend in front of me trying to kill me.

He threw my things into the street.

What can I do?

Say nothing?

He's my son's father.

He's never betrayed me, and I'm sticking a dagger in his back.

You have no reason to feel guilty,

you told the truth.

If he'd done the same seven years ago with the judge,

this would never have happened, I wouldn't have done seven years for nothing.

You're repairing the past.

I'm not a gift for a commander.

I must admit, your black holes are attractive.

Did something come back to you?

No, not a thing.

Not even a detail?

If David was hidden, if you drew your gun.

No, nothing, I tell you.

But I couldn't kill.

On the other hand, if Wilcker killed Steve, he killed two birds with one stone.

He wanted to get rid of two enemies at the same time.

That's clever in poker, but in real life...

Maybe that's the mistake he made.

Rolland, Steve's brother, is incarcerated at Baumettes, where David was.

We're going to question him, he might know something.

Tina and Borel are investigating, we'll get you out of there.

Cain's gun isn't there.

If he hid it, it's somewhere else.

And this, look.

What can it be?

Statement of gambling winnings?

Looks coded.

We haven't searched the dressing room.

Take it, go around the back.

If I get beaten up, I'll chatter.

- Meet me at the car. - I will.

What are you doing here?

Don't say a word!

Ah, you're here too!

What were you looking for?

The judge will be happy to hear that you're investigating on the sly.

Is he your friend, the judge?

Never mind!

Are you going to hit me?

Isn't paying for another cop, just one, enough for you?

- Tina! - You sent Cain to prison, are you happy?

He kind of put himself there.

I don't believe it.

Why did you do that?

Did you want revenge?

Tina, come on!

Why didn't you shoot him?

Prison's where he belongs.

No, he's like a wounded beast, he'll fart in your face.

Don't you just love wounded animals?

Stop it!

It's absurd to have done this!

Why did you attack him?

I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.

I had the creeps to see him taunting me.

I was an idiot.

Ah, yes!

We've got to speed things up, if he tells the judge and the IGPN, we won't be able to do anything.

The best thing is for us to split up.

I'll take care of Steve, and you go to the lighthouse and get the gun, okay?

OK.

We have to file a complaint.

I don't understand why they came here to search.

Fred sent them.

They want to find evidence against me.

You're not hiding anything from me?

He kills this guy, and you doubt me?

I wasn't there.

You weren't there seven years ago and you helped me.

Fred ruined my life.

Annie was going to leave her husband for me.

And Fred came in accusing me of murder.

My life stopped.

Until you, until you come.

Until you give me back the will to live.

Why are you telling me this now?

I had to tell you at some point, didn't I?

You make my heart beat faster.

I need access to your video surveillance.

Can you show me the files?

Steve used to work here, but I already told the cops.

I don't have anything more to tell you.

Do I look like a cop to you?

Oh, the insult!

I'm from his mother, do you know her?

No.

Poor thing, she stutters, she can't come herself,

she'd like to understand what happened.

Damn! It's the day before Steve's murder.

Steve was working his ass off.

To pay David back.

I don't know where he got all those debts,

but it was a lot of money.

Was he talking about his brother Rolland?

No. Why?

He lied, he knew about the lighthouse.

And Steve had gambling debts with David.

So he couldn't have killed him.

You don't kill someone who owes you money.

Steve didn't have enough money to pay him back.

David held him and used him.

And he wouldn't have needed him all of a sudden?

Where are you with Rolland?

He must know things.

Did you have visitation rights?

Refused.

Hello.

OK.

Stunia has the test results. She doesn't want to talk about it on the phone.

Fred, are you okay?

Gaëlle?

They wouldn't let me in, I'm worried.

Why not? I don't think I should.

This judge is a little slow, but in 48 hours,

he'll exonerate me and everything will be back to normal.

Borel and Tina have come to search the house.

What are they looking for?

Clues.

If it wasn't me who killed Steve Baron, it had to be David.

No. Why would he do that?

To trap me.

He wants to take everything from me, the house wasn't enough for him.

Now it's my freedom.

Next, it'll be you.

I guessed it, didn't I?

He's managed to seduce you.

If you're innocent, I'll do everything I can to get you out of here.

Like I did for him.

But if I find out you killed that guy,

I'll never forgive you.

In view of the situation, I ordered the emergency tests.

Gunpowder was found on Cain's hand.

I checked, Cain didn't declare that he had fired a bullet.

in the last three days.

But it gets worse.

Steve's blood was found on his shirt.

And toxicology tests show total loss of control.

Cain was high as ever.

He could have fired a bullet without realizing it.

Fred's gun.

Hidden under a garbage can on the side of the road where he had his accident.

Cain could have hidden it deliberately.

Or the killer.

What can I do?

If he fired, what can I do?

The analyses will be sent to the judge first thing in the morning.

If you have any recollection, it's now.

A detail came back to me.

I was dancing a wild polka with you.

I picked up some surveillance cameras.

We can see your car passing by the day before the murder, heading towards the lighthouse.

What happens then?

Yes, I lied, I knew that lighthouse.

I went there to find the place where Wilcker had arranged to meet me.

Any more lies?

Wilcker lied too.

Steve owed him money, a lot.

You don't kill someone...

“Who owes you money”, yes. I'm the one who told you.

Who says Steve didn't try to kill me,

and that I didn't shoot in self-defense?

Because you admit you shot?

In my memories, I see myself shooting.

And given these analyses, it must be true.

Wait, the analyses, it all depends on how you interpret them.

For the powder, it could be David who fired near you.

And for the blood, you could have leaned over Steve.

To see that I had the wrong target.

Elisabeth, have you seen the ballistics results?

Do you have a pen or something?

Which way did you come in?

That way.

Where was David?

There.

Where was the body found?

Here.

Where was the shooter positioned?

Somewhere over there.

I have to get back to the lighthouse.

Something else may come back to me.

It can't be done.

I'm sorry.

All you need is a key and courage.

If you were me, I'd turn the whole world upside down for you.

You have no right to say that.

I've done everything I can.

What more can I do against overwhelming evidence?

You shouldn't have gone to that appointment!

You shouldn't have shot!

Lucie, come back, you can't leave like that!

How do you like having me in your power!

Fred! Fred, I'll take care of it.

I know that if you had wanted to kill David,

you wouldn't have missed.

I don't know why it upsets me so much.

I feel betrayed.

At first I thought it was a set-up against Cain.

But now I don't know.

How do you stay on your feet?

I don't have any tears left, I've cried too much, Simon.

I'm afraid of losing him.

So, what do we do with the gun?

We can't give it back.

It's taking the risk of accusing her.

Or exonerate him, if we find another DNA.

Too late, I moved it.

It's going to come back to us.

We might as well not find her.

Tina's right.

OK.

Hide it.

What is it, Borel?

Why ask her?

Are you jealous?

Do you think I want to play?

Do you know this girl well enough to trust her?

I don't.

Good, eh!

It's so good!

Where did you hide the gun?

If I tell you, you become an accomplice.

I'd rather protect you.

You didn't tell us how you found it.

It was poorly hidden.

What do you suspect me of?

Captain, these analyses are irrefutable.

Yeah, these meds suck.

Can't even get me to kill the right guy.

I should change brands.

Given the charges and the testimony against you,

I have decided to indict you.

But given your status and condition...

Disabled?

From policeman,

I propose house arrest with an electronic bracelet.

I've decided to trust you.

Should I thank you?

Your investigation is purely incriminating.

I know my job.

Everything in the instruction file indicates that you have committed an irreparable act.

And ended a story that began seven years ago,

when you subtracted evidence to send David Wilcker to prison.

It's quite obvious.

There are two fundamental differences between us, Judge.

The first is that I, in an investigation,

when I'm confronted with the obvious, I always consider it deceptive.

And the second is that I arrest the real criminals.

Not you.

That'll be all for today.

How can you be here?

Aren't you ashamed of defending a bastard?

He probably killed that guy to frame your son's father.

What does it take to open your eyes?

What if he's guilty?

Do you think he is?

Would you like that?

I'm just looking for clues, I'm a cop.

You want her place, and one day, Lucie's place?

Is that why you slept with Moretti, to get ahead?

Are you out of your mind?

Is that what you think of me?

You can also say that I ran into you to take your place while you're at it.

Crazy!

Sorry.

Why did you let us down?

Why?

You would have known what to do.

Who could have prevented this? David and Cain hate each other too much.

They would have gotten along if they hadn't been enemies.

Don't you think so?

Cain may be guilty, but he's not David.

That's not what I meant.

The judge allows you to go out for one hour at noon and one hour at 5 p.m.

So after 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., you're obliged to be there.

At any given moment, the prison guards know perfectly well...

If I pee on it, do I get electrocuted?

Have a nice day.

(Music)

Why do you love me?

Because you're old, bald and a good cook.

Why?

No, really?

Because you fuck me like a god.

Shit! I'm late for work.

I wish time would stop.

Come in.

I had the choice of being under house arrest here or at your place.

I preferred to come to Moretti's,

to leave you alone with my executioner.

Stop it, please.

At least you're not in jail.

I've appealed my indictment.

The examining magistrate will meet in a few days.

At the same time, if they send me to prison,

we could see each other more often, since you're a prison visitor.

Will you fight for me, like you fought for David?

No, David was innocent...

- Dad, are you okay? - I'm fine.

You've got to hang in there.

Those stupid judges are going to figure out you're innocent.

Don't talk like that, son, you sound like your father.

Thank you, though.

Hello. Yes.

I'll call you back later.

I may have killed and I don't remember.

It's totally creepy.

There must have been a good reason if I did it.

I need you, Gaëlle.

Borel and Tina find a notebook in David's belongings,

there may be elements in it.

Can you find it?

Fred...

I know when we've lost each other.

Seven years ago, I played poker with David.

I played our house.

I played our life.

I played you.

I played you.

Why didn't you tell me about this before?

I was ashamed.

I'm still ashamed.

Everything beautiful in my life is thanks to you.

Do you like it?

David!

David!

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

You look funny.

No, I was just tidying up.

Gaëlle gave me this.

This is David's notebook that I found and that Tina had lost.

Anyway! Look towards the middle.

It wasn't Steve who owed David, it was his brother, Rolland.

We'll copy this and give it back to Gaëlle.

OK.

In these notes is the real reason for the manipulation of which I am the victim.

In exchange for forgiveness of his brother's debt,

it's easy to imagine that Steve Baron took orders from Mr. David Wilcker.

These notes are not proof.

Do you have precise sources?

In addition, the case file indicates

that Rolland Baron has already been properly questioned,

and that he confirms David's friendship with Steve.

You think he was able to express himself freely,

when Wilcker had just shot his brother?

What questions would you have asked him?

Or what answers would you have demanded of him?

Mr. Wilcker, do you have an explanation?

I don't see how Rolland could have contracted a debt with me,

we weren't in the same building at Baumettes.

Good.

It'll be up to the examining magistrate and probably the jury.

to say what they think at the trial.

To date, no new elements have been brought forward to change the judge's decision.

The indictment is confirmed.

The meeting is adjourned.

I know it's hard, but you have to face the truth, stop lying to yourself.

The trial's going to happen, it'll be our chance.

We'll find a loophole, a way to smear David.

We'll plead self-defense.

It'll take at least three years, it'll be a real treat.

You'll be acquitted.

You are the best cop in Marseille.

The truth is in jail, and we can't question Rolland, it's crazy!

You'd have to confess to the murder to go to jail.

Oh no!

No, you're not going to do that?

This is crazy!

And why not?

I won't let you.

Captain, no.

I've got something better!

Come on!

Sorry, Commander.

I'm going to enjoy myself.

Go inside.

Don't do anything stupid.

Come on, I'm not playing.

Borel, lock up.

- Fred... - Borel!

What madness!

Stop whining, Borel. You're hurting my ears.

Drive on!

David!

Stop it!

Stop it! You're going to kill him, stop it!

He wants to kill me.

You're digging yourself in. Please, let him go.

You want to kill me.

Steve's death wasn't enough for you, was it?

Fred, let him go.

Captain Cain, that's an order.

Let go of that man. I'm not playing either.

Why, what's the matter?

You've just signed your life away.

Don't rejoice too soon.

I'm going to ask you to sign.

We're not equipped for someone like you, I warned you.

Yes, dirty cops are becoming rare.

Young people, it's service.

I wasn't talking about that.

Ah, the fact that I need someone to pee and wash my butt?

You don't even have a one-armed, blind, dumb guy?

Am I your first?

The VIP area is under construction.

I warned you too.

After all, I'm a murderer like the rest of them.

Even if everyone here says he's innocent, of course.

The problem is that a journalist wants to do a story on me...

and about defending the rights of disabled people.

I'm not allowed to lie.

I can't even get up on the toilet.

The bed's too high for me, and this one...

I understand, we'll fix it for you.

And you'll be able to use the staff restroom.

Is that all right?

I think the article would be better

if I could describe the other parts of the prison to him.

If I had a phone like everybody else...

I was warned you were a funny guy.

Of course not.

You should be able to get one on your own.

Yes ?

I'd need a guardian to protect me.

You wouldn't want anything to happen to me, would you?

Don't push it, you're being charged with a crime.

That's just it, revenge happens so quickly.

All right for the guard.

Yes. I'd like Jean-Louis.

“Jean-Louis?

I was told he was the best.

I hear you.

In that case, I don't think I have anything more to say.

Mr. Director, good day.

- Jean-Louis? - Yes.

Gaëlle said you could help me.

They're in the small courtyard over there.

David was in Building B, but he's got emulators all over the place.

We're entering his territory.

Hey, I know you.

Hey, guys!

Meet Cain, Marseille's top cop.

Welcome to paradise, Cain, good to see you.

We needed a friend, you're just like us now.

You're a piece of shit.

Rolland, was it one of them?

No.

They were David's buddies.

David gave them the money he won in poker to use as bodyguards.

Rolland was one of the plucked?

I don't know.

Watch out, Cain, in the clink, it's survival of the fittest.

And you're not the strongest, and neither am I.

Earlier, I couldn't intervene because they were watching me.

I need to see Rolland.

I can't do that.

I don't want to risk my life.

You have to approach it from open ground.

It may take you days, but it's the only way.

All this to get you locked up.

You're not getting any better with time.

You think you'll find the solution here?

I'm in the wolf's den.

I'll be able to question David's accomplices and establish the truth.

And if you don't find anything, you'll be condemned.

It's when you're at the bottom of the pool that you can kick your way up.

I'm not sure a tire kick works as well.

Tina's not here.

Did you fire her?

She wouldn't come.

She says prison makes her sick, physically.

Weird, isn't it?

He's jealous.

She thinks you're guilty.

It's rather salutary.

One thinks I'm innocent, one thinks I'm guilty, it makes the third think.

Come on!

What the hell are you doing here?

You come all the way here to humiliate me?

You've come to claim victory, to savor the pleasure of seeing me in your place?

What victory are you talking about?

What's that?

Are you mad at me?

I'm not mad at you anymore.

I could almost thank you.

You put me through a tragedy, but you let me meet Gaëlle.

The first time we saw each other was here.

You know, there's something very strong between me and her.

Is something wrong, Commander?

Your brain's in jail and you feel lost, right?

I'm so sorry.

Does that make you happy?

Italian cuisine.

Like a mini trip.

I'm sorry, it's a little complicated for me.

Fred's in jail, we're at his place.

Do you get it?

Yes, I understand.

I feel a bit ridiculous.

It's going a little too fast.

Do you want me to walk away?

I'll walk away, if you need time.

I've been offered a room in a squat.

I can leave tonight.

No, I don't want to kick you out.

I'd rather go upstairs to bed.

I'm sorry.

They make grids here, clever director.

They repair them, it teaches them the trade.

Rolland?

The welder, back station.

I know you owed David Wilcker some money.

You talk to me and I'll get you out.

I'm your only chance, believe me.

If I can prove Wilcker killed your brother,

I can get you to safety.

They used him because you couldn't pay him back, right?

He had to do it for you?

Damn it, Rolland!

I didn't shoot your brother, they did.

So if you want me to help you...

Your time has come, Cain. You're going to die, dirty cop!

I told you to take it easy.

You only listen to yourself.

We're in danger of getting killed with your stupid pride!

Not if we fight them.

How do we do it?

You think you're Batman?

And this is your Batmobile?

I'll tell you what's going to happen.

The director is going to isolate you in the QHS,

prevent contact with other inmates, I'll be transferred,

and you're going to have a hound barking at you.

I won't give up.

Rolland, it's my only chance of survival.

I'll get him to talk.

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
