Jaro! Jaro!

Can you hear me? Come on! Hurry! Move!

Jaro, come on! Jaro!

Move, please!

We're gonna die! We have to go now!

Come on, move! Jaro!

THE VERNON

ANTHRACITE SECRETS OF THE SECT

Jaro, what's going on? You okay?

- Well, someone tried to kill us. - The police said it was a gas leak.

Are you kidding?

"The flames will come for you." Ring any bells?

Caleb wasn't threatening our lives. He was trying to keep us safe.

We must be on the right track. Someone's trying to get rid of us.

Uh... and who are you?

Right, sorry. Ida Heilman. How's it going?

Two women, killed 30 years apart

with the same anthracite mark on their faces?

That means someone is continuing the Écrins cult rituals.

I think it's the person who killed your mom and kidnapped my dad.

Because they both knew, like we do, that Caleb didn't kill Roxane Vial.

She's joking, right?

And the cops, what do they think about all this?

- Uh... - What?

- The cops don't know? - Nah.

I bet I'm already their number one suspect for Emma's murder.

It's just a matter of time before they get me.

They won't listen to me unless I prove I'm innocent.

Yeah. If my sister's on your back, she's not about to let that go.

- Wait, your sister? - Lieutenant Giovanna Deluca.

She's my sister. Oh.

And there is my brother-in-law now.

Talk about a pain in the ass. This guy makes it an art form.

We gotta move. I can't get mixed up in this too.

No time to waste anyway.

- Our priority has to be the garage. - I would've figured the hospital.

What's in the garage?

Right, so if they went after my dad, it's because he found something.

So the person we're looking for is in here.

This has gotta be hundreds of hours of video.

We have to watch all of it?

I started classifying my dad's footage

and the documents he had, but basically, yeah.

- You sure you're fine? - Yeah, it's just the smoke.

Or the dust, maybe.

No one's been down here for 30 years.

You know, no one's forcing you to stay here.

We'll be okay.

You're joking, right?

Know how long I've been waiting for something to happen here?

- Since 2016. - What?

Since 2016.

That's when the Cross Games were in Lévionna.

The year your career both peaked and ended.

How do you know that?

- Don't ask, bro. Don't get her started. - I just did a little research in the car.

Your name comes up more than 10,000 times online.

Seems like you used to be a little bit of a celebrity.

The goldmine was your interview in Motor Star Addict,

in an article called "2014 Motocross Junior Championship."

That interview had everything.

Growing up in Lévionna, your passion for biking, first trophies,

how you were a prodigy, ambitions of a world tour.

And then, in 2016, boom!

Smashed your ribs and blew out your knee.

I found a photo of you in the Lévionna paper,

lying in a hospital, full-body cast, under the headline,

"Cross Games Tragedy." Your career was over.

You even wrote a rap about it. It was poetic if bitter.

♪ It was an obsession I gave it my attention ♪

♪ Wasted so many weeks... ♪

"Never Again."

Anyway, all that to say, thanks to the magic of the Internet,

I found your friend "RealSebDeLaPinta,"

and in 2020, he twerked in front of a sign for a canceled music festival.

And you, big rebel, you commented,

"Not like anything's happened in this dump since 2016. LOL."

Uh...

But you...

So you just stopped competing? That's rough, buddy.

Sorry, man.

That's her... that's her thing.

I'm just...

Um, watching all this stuff, we're gonna get hungry.

I'll go see if I can find any chocolate cookies.

Cool. Thanks.

What is it?

I wanted to make sure we could trust the guy.

What? Too many details?

Too direct?

- Too intrusive? - Too you.

Ah. Uh, okay, okay.

Well, shall we?

Test, one, two. Test, one, two.

...didn't mix, and that was just fine for all of us.

I'm not surprised they killed themselves.

The little girl?

That's all you're here for. You people are all alike.

The mines being closed, and us fighting it?

That, you don't give--

Suicide is a grievous offense against our Lord.

They died the same way they lived.

By flouting the word of Christ.

What do you miss the most about Roxane?

Talking to her.

What would you tell her now, if you could?

That my nightmares are back.

What kind of nightmares are you having?

Do you know the Black Virgin?

It's a legend I learned here.

The miners said she'd appear when a disaster's about to hit or...

...somebody you love's about to die.

She comes to my room at night.

She watches me sleep.

I'm trying to breathe, but I can't. I can't move. I can't do anything.

Your mom was really beautiful.

Like, in a tortured way.

That really runs in the family, huh?

She was so young here, I barely recognize her.

What do you remember of her?

Ideally, as little as possible.

You know the "unfinished thoughts" phenomenon?

Every time you try to repress a memory or avoid a task, it just haunts you more.

Well, you might be right.

Just so that we're clear, I'm always right.

At least, I have a very narrow margin of error.

Like 5%.

Check it out. I found something.

It's nuts. You're not ready.

The special forces filmed their raid on the cult's home in 1994.

CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF THE NATIONAL POLICE

There was a child in the cult.

And he survived the mass suicide.

Cause of death was drowning. No surprise there.

The trauma to her head was severe.

She probably lost consciousness at least a moment or two,

but that's not what killed her.

You think somebody attacked her?

It's hard to say.

She may have just fallen.

Evidence of sexual assault?

Not that we can tell.

I've got a suspect with a record, Jaro Gatsi.

If you find any DNA, could you crosscheck with his profile?

- Theo, make a note. - Right. Jaro?

Jaro Gatsi. G-A-T-S-I.

- Thanks. - See these marks on her wrists?

Rope burns. Your victim was restrained, but she fought her captor.

There's also scratches on her hands and face,

indicating she may have run through the woods.

So if I had to posit a hypothesis,

I'd say she managed to escape from her attacker,

but then he caught up and threw her in the lake.

- What is it? - Scalpel.

What is that?

Some kind of subcutaneous implant.

A biometric chip.

- So, why would that be inside her? - Well, that, I've got no idea.

Where'd it come from?

Your phone.

It's not me.

Oh, it's not my phone either.

Check the girl's bag. Maybe it's her phone.

What? Fuck!

CHIP SIGNAL LOST ERASING DATA

No, no, no, no!

...OF LÉVIONNA

Called the cops again?

This is a public road. We have the right to be here.

No one called, Vincent.

But let me ask you, is that graffiti back there yours?

Uh, no. We're just back here, protesting peacefully. Nothing more.

So if I look in your bag there, I'm not gonna find spray paint, right?

Here. Take these. You're gonna freeze.

Don't worry about us. We've got more than enough gear.

We're taking shifts. What are you doing here anyway?

It's for work.

About time.

See you at the festival?

And say hi to Elias for me.

Lieutenant Deluca, police force.

Sorry, Lieutenant.

No one's allowed inside the lab without having been cleared in advance.

If you'd like to apply, I can give you the contact information.

This is a court order for Arcacia to present the name of every scientist

working yesterday afternoon near La Valette.

A young woman was killed nearby, and I need their statements for the case.

I'm sure if our employees had any information,

they would've already told the police.

They still need to come and provide a witness statement.

It wouldn't be good press. Especially not for your friends outside.

The best thing would be if I could speak to someone in charge now.

Unfortunately, that won't be possible.

None of our managers are currently on site.

I understand.

By the way...

...I have something of yours.

If you want it back, you know where to find me.

Come and see.

He's doing it again.

Stop it, Mani. Stop it now! Stop it. That's enough, okay?

It's okay, Mani. It's okay.

The foster family tried. But they couldn't take it.

They brought him back.

-Poor kid. - Yes, it's terrible.

ITW CAPTAIN MONNIER

I don't understand why he had to be placed there.

Did both his parents die in the mass suicide?

No, on the contrary.

- What do you mean? - We don't know where he's from.

We looked into everything we possibly could, even DNA testing,

but there was no match.

-Not with any members of the cult. - So where did he come from?

Was he kidnapped?

We checked that too.

But none of the missing persons' cases out there matched his profile.

So then it's possible that his parents were part of the cult,

but they didn't die with the others?

Whoa. Crazy.

Yeah.

So his parents must have been disciples that survived the mass suicide

and are probably the ones performing the cult's rituals all this time.

So they left without their kid?

That, I'm not sure of at the moment,

which is why we need to identify Mani's parents.

I'm gonna upload this to iData.

We should also find the cop your dad was speaking to, right?

It's Denis Monnier. He was the police captain for a long time.

He's practically my sister's hero.

It won't be easy to talk to him.

He's suffering from Alzheimer's or something like that.

I mean, it's worth a shot, I guess. He live around here?

Ida, what's going on?

- Ida, you okay? - No! I can't breathe.

What's wrong?

We gotta get her to the hospital. Now.

Michel?

Aïdi! What are you doing? Stop that.

Hey!

Pierre, stop that.

- That's enough! - Stop!

Frank.

Frank, stop.

I need restraining equipment and three nurses down in the common room.

Right away.

Did something happen here?

Don't worry. She'll be fine.

I know the doctor. We went to school together.

He built his career in the hospital at Bordeaux

and then came back about a year ago.

He's the best. You'll see.

So what's the deal with you and Ida, man? You like her?

No.

Ah, well. All right. You'd never get bored with a chick like that.

Is she going to be okay?

She's fine. She's stabilized.

What's wrong? Is it because of the fire?

Well, it didn't help, I suppose.

She should have come to the hospital right away.

- But there's something else? - I'm sorry, but are you her family?

- No. - Then I can't disclose anything.

Look, it's all cool. Tell us.

I can't break patient confidentiality because we're old friends.

- That's not how it works. - Excuse me.

So, we're "old friends" now?

What was I supposed to say?

That when we were kids, we made out in a swimming pool locker room?

Well, I mean, to my recollection,

the two of us did a lot more than make out.

Long time ago.

- Huh? - Ah.

Yeah. I'll call you when your friend wakes up. 'Kay?

Hello. Anaïs?

Hi, Daddy.

Malia, are you with Mommy?

Do you know what Gaspard said?

Gaspard said my great-great-great-grandpa wasn't really a pirate.

- But he was, right? - Of course he was.

Can you tell him I'm telling the truth?

I'll tell him, I promise.

When?

Really soon.

On my birthday?

Malia, who are you talking to?

- I phoned Daddy. - What are you doing with my phone? Go on.

Jaro?

Hi.

Did Malia call you?

Yeah, but I wasn't going behind your back.

I know. I... I had no idea she could even unlock my phone.

- Our daughter's a smart one, isn't she? - Yeah. Yeah, she is.

Sorry. I have to let you go now. Bye, Jaro.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Well, no use in us waiting around.

Hari will let us know if anything changes.

How long till we can meet the cop? The one from the video.

Well, it's pretty late. We should wait until morning.

I'll call tomorrow, see if we can stop by then. 'Kay?

- Thanks for coming to get me. - Of course. No problem.

I'm sorry for your friend's trouble. I hope she's all right.

Sorry for making it your problem.

It'll be fine.

I know you're not involved in that girl's death.

Did you know that my mother was a part of the Écrins cult?

Who told you that?

So you did know.

You have to understand what it was like for us.

Today everybody will tell you they stayed away from the cult,

but that's not true.

They had parties at night.

There was drugs, music...

That was exciting for local kids.

We all went at least once.

But my mother didn't go there to party, did she?

At first, she did.

But then Johansson took an interest in her.

And she was captivated by him.

They said he could heal folks.

There were even rumors going around that there had been miracles.

And Juliette wanted healing for what? Her nightmares?

I don't know what she wanted. I was 20 years old.

I was just...

I was a selfish kid.

I'll never forgive myself.

- Wait! Stop! - What's going on?

Someone's here!

Someone's here. There's someone in the house!

I heard a noise when I was downstairs.

From the upper floor.

Whoever it was, they were searching your mother's room.

- I don't want my fingers to get caught. - They won't.

- Hello! - How's the little mining man?

- Good. - Let's try it on.

Grandma helped us make the costumes for the winter festival.

- Oh, wow! - These are incredible. Let's have a look.

- See? - Great.

Thank you.

Apparently, you saw her father today. Is that true?

What were they doing at Arcacia?

Wow, word travels fast.

Come on, Louane. I'll take you home.

Go get changed. Grab your stuff.

Your visit to the lab, does it have anything to do with that dead girl?

That's none of your business, Mom.

Your whole group needs to take a step back.

And Vincent can't camp out in front of Arcacia all winter.

We will not back down.

Not until they take accountability for Elias's deformities.

- Not to mention what happened to you. - You need to stop, Mom. You're obsessed.

A miscarriage after five months.

- That is rare. - Spare me your conspiracy theories.

They have to understand what they did was wrong.

These people, their actions have consequences.

We could've lost you. Huh?

You almost didn't survive your depression.

Carmela.

Louane's ready. I'll drive you back with her.

- You okay? - I'm fine.

One second.

Right, I'm ready.

See you soon.

Erwan?

- Erwan! - What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Physically, she's fine.

But I'm concerned about her mental state.

She alternates between moments of complete apathy

and more manic episodes.

We'll have to keep her under observation for longer than expected.

I've requested a psychological consultation.

Dad?

My baby.

Oh, Dad.

Dad.

What did you do to yourself now?

Dad, I'm so scared.

It's okay, baby. I'm here. I'm right here.

I thought I'd never see you again.

I'm sorry we had that fight.

Me too, honey.

But I can't do what you're asking of me.

I'm not going to stay and watch you die, honey.

You have to get better.

I can't take it.

I'm sorry, but it's just too hard.

And besides, it's useless.

You know that, Dad.

It's never pointless to fight.

Have a look.

- That's me? - Mm-hmm.

We know where the boy is from.

We found him. Check the video.

Wait, what?

Check the video. Check...

This girl's death is terrible publicity

for a town like ours that relies on tourism.

We must all be beyond reproach.

Of course.

Arcacia also wants full transparency in this case.

Their lawyers will send you an official statement.

They say they know nothing about the death of Emma Marçais,

but they admitted she was taking part in a paid clinical trial.

What kind of clinical trial?

I have no idea, but all of their paperwork was in order.

She was apparently in very good health.

- Okay. I'll look into it. - Hmm.

Look, it's obviously not my place to tell you how to do your job,

but why don't we try to avoid any embarrassments?

- For sure. - Goodbye, then.

See you, Mr. Mayor.

We just got the results of Emma Marçais's autopsy.

They found Jaro Gatsi's DNA on her corpse.

Ah, well then...

Look. I'm gonna call Giovanna. Can you bring him in?

Sure, yeah.

Captain Monnier!

It's an unknown number. Should I pick it up?

No. It's only telemarketers who ever call that number now.

- Denis! What is it? - There's someone! There!

Oh, really? I don't see anybody out there.

I'm telling you, he was there! He had a mask!

Denis. Denis, you have to calm down.

You know your imagination plays tricks on you.

- No, I'm not! I didn't imagine it! - Denis.

- I'm not nuts! - Shh! Calm down, okay?

- Somebody was out there, Sandrine! - Just calm down. I'll check.

It's happening again. No, Sandrine! No, Sandrine!

- It's okay. - He's dangerous! Wait! Stop!

Nobody's out here--

We can't stay long.

Thierry wants us handing out flyers for the winter festival.

It's Ida. She's awake. And she found something, apparently.

Ma'am? Hey, she's still breathing.

Ma'am?

- Denis? - Can you hear me?

Be careful!

Denis!

You'll never take me alive!

Bastard! You'll never get me!

What happened here?

I think someone attacked him and his nurse,

but he scared them off with his gun.

- Where is he now? - He's in the house.

I managed to calm him down a bit, but I have no idea what he's saying.

What's he doing here?

Uh, we wanted to talk to Monnier, and so--

He can help prove I wasn't involved in Emma's death.

Oh yeah? Can he explain why we found traces of your saliva on her body?

It's not what you think.

We're going to talk. But first, I have to deal with Denis.

Roméo, you too.

Stay here and be quiet.

Denis.

Ah, Giovanna.

We've got to mobilize the entire force, get them up to the cult.

Just calm down. You're safe now. You'll be okay, Denis.

I won't! They killed that girl. They murdered Roxane.

We have to get up there, or something bad will happen.

Roxane's been dead for a long time. Denis, it's 2024, you understand?

Come on, Denis. Try to remember.

Someone attacked you. What did they look like?

But that's not possible.

They're all dead now.

What? Who's dead?

You're talking about the cult, aren't you?

- Your attacker was one of them. - I said be quiet.

Yes.

He was wearing a mask. It looked like a goat. It had horns.

We found the same masks in the cult.

And at no point did you see his face?

I don't remember. I...

I'm not sure anymore...

It's fine, Denis. It's fine. Why don't you try to get some rest?

Is this the man who attacked you? Maybe a little older?

Denis, did he attack you?

Yes! That's him!

Who is this? Where did you get this photo?

Right, so in the video of Mani,

the boy from the cult, we hear him singing.

We isolated the audio,

but obviously Shazam wasn't gonna help us with this one.

Luckily, my forum hosts a playlist dedicated to identifying sounds.

A Canadian sleuth recognized it. His Russian grandmother used to sing it.

She came from a small village in Siberia.

Bolsher... Bolsho... No, that's not it.

Bolchyrek? Ugh! Anyway...

The name rang a bell for one of my sleuths who works for the FRIS. Not the FRIZZ.

The Federation for Research and Information on Sectarianism.

It's a Swiss thing.

She remembered that back in the '80s, a shamanic religious community

set up camp in the mountains near Barboz... Barbousy?

Anyway, we searched the Russian TV archives and found this.

He kidnapped my son!

I'll translate. This woman's husband is Vassili Derevko.

He was a fanatic who dragged her and their son, Mani,

to this shamanic community in Siberia, except one day,

he decided the group wasn't radical enough, so he disappeared.

And the poor woman had no idea where he or her son went.

Except we know that they went to France

to join up with, you guessed it, the Écrins.

So then Caleb had a 13th disciple, Vassili Derevko.

So you figure that this 13th disciple killed Roxane Vial back then

and has come back to kill Emma Marçais?

Yeah. And he kidnapped my dad.

You have to admit, it's possible he never left

and has been practicing rituals here for years.

This region has a lot of mysterious disappearances, right?

- Did you tell her about that? - What? No, of course not.

That's a pretty convenient story for you.

Gio, come on. Give him a break.

Monnier recognized Derevko. What do you want?

There's a crazy Russian fanatic out there, trying to kill us,

and the clock's ticking.

This is all just speculation you found online. Sorry.

We need to verify everything, and there are still plenty of gray areas...

- We don't even know what happened to Mani. - Yes, we do.

He spent a few years at home but ran away at 15.

Lived on the street, had mental health issues,

and froze to death in 2006.

There. Not so bad for info found online, right?

Well, from now on, you three let the police do their jobs.

I'll do some digging and send Derevko's description.

In the meantime, I don't wanna see you.

If I do, I'll arrest you for obstruction of justice.

I love her.

Hey, what happened to you yesterday?

Nothing. I breathed in too much smoke, like I said.

But why didn't they put you on hyperbaric oxygen therapy

or a ventilator?

Wow. You should have finished med school.

Ow. Okay, let's take a photo.

What? Uh, hold on. You really want to immortalize this?

We can't sit around and wait for Derevko to strike again, right?

We'll make him come to us.

- He just needs to know where we are. - What?

Duck face!

LÉVIONNA FESTIVAL, HERE WE COME!

- What? You're supposed to be on du Four. - Denis was attacked.

- What? - He's not hurt. His nurse is in a coma.

- What happened? - I'm not sure.

He identified his attacker, and I've put out an APB.

I don't believe this.

And what about Jaro Gatsi?

I spoke to him, but I think we're mistaken.

Gio, his DNA is on the body.

Daddy! Mommy!

- Having fun, champ? - Hey! You good? Hi!

One, two...

Good people of Lévionna, welcome to the festival!

I won't be long.

I just wanna thank you all for being here today.

- Where did Ida go? - I have to thank the sponsors...

I don't know, but we have to find Derevko.

- Let's split up. - Okay.

And a huge thank you to our corporate sponsor, Arcacia.

Who contributed financing for a portion of the festival,

and who are helping transform the town's image.

And so now, it's time to celebrate!

Thank you.

Pardon me. Sorry.

You got a problem?

I don't know. Why don't you tell me, huh?

- Sorry. I'm a little on edge. - Yeah, I can see that.

Is it because of your new best friend?

The guy accused of killing the girl they found in the lake?

Pfft. That's bullshit. We're trying to find the guy who did it.

Oh, okay. You're a detective now.

Hey, just because I'm not a doctor

doesn't mean that I'm some redneck idiot, okay?

Roméo, I never said that.

I don't want you getting hurt. That's all.

And why do you suddenly care? Huh?

Look, I don't know.

I guess I just care about you.

Why'd you ignore me since coming back?

Look, I'm not ignoring you.

It's just that things at the hospital are busy now.

- That's all. - Oh shit.

Uh, listen. I have to go, but, uh, we'll talk later.

Excuse me.

- Your costume's amazing. - Daddy!

Honey, what are you doing here?

Look who I found waiting for you at the front door.

Hi, Jaro.

Clearly, we need to figure things out.

Since she's calling you behind my back, we should talk.

Yeah, but why didn't you call me first?

It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.

We were visiting my folks in Lyon, and I thought we'd swing by.

- Aren't you happy to see your daughter? - Obviously, I'm happy, Anaïs.

It's just not a great time right now.

Jaro, I saw him. He's here.

What's going on?

Marie, take them back to the farm. Right away.

- All right. - No! I wanna stay with you!

I'm so sorry, baby. But it's not possible.

Jaro, what are you doing?

I can't explain right now.

But you can't stay. It's too dangerous.

Dangerous?

You got yourself in another mess, didn't you?

I don't even wanna know.

Come on, Malia. We're leaving.

Daddy! I don't wanna go.

We need to find Ida.

ELIAS DESERVES THE TRUTH

He's bribed while they poison us!

Sellouts!

The police and the mayor, they're all corrupt!

They're lying to us! They're lying to all of us!

We're just lab rats to them!

We have to act before it's too late!

For our families! For our children!

Gio, Sofiane, we have to stop this.

Arcacia! Out of Lévionna!

ARCACIA IS TOXIC

Arcacia! Out of Lévionna! Arcacia! Out of Lévionna!

TOXIC ARCACIA

STOP THE MASSACRE

Arcacia! Out of Lévionna!

Jaro! Jaro, there he is! Right there!

Get him! Quick!

Move! Outta my way!

Move!

My son may have been the first,

but your children will be the next if you--

Someone help!

Denis?

Help me!

No! Stop!

Somebody help!
