Marcus! Marcus!

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

- Come on. - I'm OK.

Come on, Violette.

Almost there. You won't regret it.

Marcus!

DEEP TROUBLE

Studying or playing?

Neither one.

You were right about mom.

Really?

A dating site? I didn't suggest that.

She can't stay solo.

She won't do this herself.

We have to choose someone.

You can't choose for her!

Find dad a girlfriend, then.

Maybe they have a modern-family pack.

I don't worry about dad.

I'd like to see mom smile again.

Find her a comedy movie.

I'm trying to help her.

Behind her back? She'll love it.

Thomas, imagine she hooks up with a guy

with 3 kids, so we have to share our rooms.

What if it's our headmaster?

Teachers would leave us be.

Help me choose a nice profile picture.

You're not listening to me.

She's so beautiful.

You're totally nuts.

Why did Éric leave so fast,

without even saying goodbye?

His wife was transferred up north.

He had no choice, really.

I didn't know he was married, or that you cared so much.

Will you be OK?

My personal life is just fine, thanks.

Oh, right, you have someone. Damien, is it?

David.

Oh, so that's why

you changed your look.

- Chief. - Yes?

Is David the guy who never answers your calls?

He's in Japan for work.

There's a huge time difference.

Even text messages take time to get there.

Who is she?

Must be the new police officer.

She's taking Éric's desk?

Excuse me.

Lieutenant Joanne Marsac, right?

I'm Captain Sophie Vannier.

Lieutenant Marsac was transferred.

You don't mind if I take his desk?

No.

- Erwan, right? - Lieutenant Lebellec, yes.

- And you're Camille. - You're smart, Captain.

Call me Sophie.

Homicide at Saint-Martin Cave. Marchal is already there.

Erwan, check the area.

Camille, search the home of the victim, Lina Bern.

OK.

- Hello, Captain. - Chief.

I'll let you get settled.

- Very well, Chief. - Good.

Is it me or...

is the air close?

- You'll get used to it. - No, I'm not staying.

Where is the corpse?

That's why I brought you down here.

- It's gone. - What do you mean?

This is what we found.

The witnesses said the body was down there.

We're searching.

Shit, this is high.

OK.

Send what you find to Chief Soler.

Alright.

Hello.

- Captain Marchal. - Who are you?

Marcus Bréat.

Are you sure there was a body down there?

Yes.

I was with my novices and...

we all saw and recognized her.

Who was it?

Lina Bern.

- Who was she? - The speleology club president.

you see?

- She had an ax in her... - Yes, I believe you.

What did you do then?

We went out to call for help.

That's when she disappeared.

Who has access to this cave?

Just us.

The authorities allow us to use it for training.

Would you have seen anyone going out?

Yes.

Yes...?

Where does that lead?

- Breathe, it will pass. - No, I'm fine.

Is there a path here?

No, but there used to be.

- Where does it start? - Down by the road.

Kids come and play here sometimes.

Tell me...

Could anyone have gone in and out through here?

With Lina's body?

- He'd have to be a climber. - Who might have killed her?

Do you have any ideas?

Pierre Guilhem.

Lina Bern's ex.

His initials are on the ax.

He likes extreme-sports.

He was in Mexico recently, exploring cenotes.

Wow! Incredible!

What are cenotes?

No idea but, being a Captain, I must pretend that I know.

Just kidding.

They're immersed caves.

Witnesses say the couple was always fighting.

It's a bad idea to make up with an ex.

It's better to forget it.

That fits Soler and Marchal.

What?

- Well, it's... - It's nothing.

Let's leave gossip for later.

But Guilhem didn't kill her.

Why?

He was buried 3 weeks ago.

How did he die?

I never said he was dead.

I think I'll like her.

Pierre Guilhem, The Timeless Caver

He's the subject of the Out of Time experiment.

Guilhem is filmed 24/7, buried 200 m underground.

He never has any idea what time it is?

He can't tell night from day, no contact with anyone,

no television, no Internet...

Could we talk to him?

I'm his sole contact.

His ex-wife was murdered, he's a suspect,

and you tell me we can't talk to him?

Are you kidding me?

- Lina is dead? - Yes.

Is there someone here 24 hours a day?

No.

I'll need the recordings from the last 24 hours.

You'll need a warrant.

The European Space Agency funds the study.

Some of the data is confidential.

Why didn't you try to defend Guilhem

when I told you he's a murder suspect?

Come in!

I know:

Dial with one hand and speak into that.

Are you sure?

Should I get a bench warrant for Guilhem?

Lina Bern was slated to do the Out of Time.

- Guilhem stole her place. - She must have hated that.

If she intended to tell people he might have felt threatened.

Could he have killed her, left the cave without being seen?

I have something for you.

- Saint-Martin Cave. - You can see the galleries.

Guilhem's in here too?

Yes. And Marcus Bréat says it's very easy

to go from one area to the other.

There we go.

I'll call the judge.

What?

It's nothing.

I know that face. What is it?

Guilhem could have hidden the body easily.

Why did he bother to show it?

Let's start by bringing him up to the surface,

and then we'll see, OK?

The door. Paul!

The door.

Yes? Judge Ferrand, please. This is Chief Soler.

- Any news from Didier? - David.

No, no news.

- My cousin is a stewardess. - David is a steward.

Same thing.

She travels too much to have a stable boyfriend.

- She has affairs everywhere. - David is not like that.

There he is.

Our extreme sports hero doesn't look so hardy.

Moving a corpse in his condition...

Maybe he's faking. That'd make him astute.

- Isn't that a bit too much? - You're right. Let's go.

Toxicology Report

Carbon Monoxide

Black, no sugar.

Thanks. You got it right.

I'm missing some data. What's with Soler and Marchal?

Nobody will tell me.

We were married. Now we work together.

Thus the tension between you.

Pierre Guilhem inhaled carbon monoxide.

The report's clear.

How did that gas get so far down

into the cave?

- So you think... - It was done on purpose.

In a few hours, the gas would have poisoned Guilhem,

prompting his removal.

Sabotage. Only one person could have done it.

Lina Bern.

- Léa's at the hospital? - She's on her way.

- Thanks, Sophie. - Welcome.

I'm not proud of what I did,

but I knew I could stay down there longer than her.

You found out she wanted to sabotage your record bid.

So you killed her.

- No. - The murder weapon is yours.

And there's a blind spot in the videos:

The toilets.

You could have left and returned, discreetly...

Come off it. I didn't know Lina's intentions.

I never would have killed her.

We had a violent relationship.

We loved each other...

and hated each other.

I wanted to kill her.

A thousand times.

Know what it's like to have an ex you still love?

I get that, but it's irrelevant.

Good and bad memories, all mixed up.

- That's more or less it. - That was us.

We couldn't live together... or apart, either.

It became hell.

Well, Mr. Pierre Guilhem,

you are under police custody

as of 2:27 pm, for Lina Bern's murder.

Captain Vannier won't be out investigating?

No, I heard she's better with paperwork and stuff.

Great! So the hypocrite is squatting the station.

Cool! I must have really sinned in a previous life.

Come on, she may be a bit uptight,

but I actually like her.

- Lieutenant Lebellec. - Yes?

- This is for you. - Thanks.

Someone's waiting for you outside.

It's about the cave investigation.

Alright.

- What is that? - The lab report.

Oh, shit!

The blood in the cave was cow blood. Not human.

What's going on here?

May I help you, ma'am?

I'm sorry.

Is this necessary?

You'll appear in court

to tell the judge why you faked your own murder.

Last year, you spent 37 hours in a collapsed tunnel.

Did that prompt your bid for the Out of Time experiment?

Yes.

I went to see Pharmalab and submitted an application.

It was easier to succeed without Pierre Guilhem.

He stole my thunder.

You were competitors, but he was the boss.

When we divorced,

we realized the rivalry spurred our progress.

So he returned. You were back to second fiddle.

That made me crazy.

He always did that to me.

I wanted him accused and out of there.

And it worked.

But why the carbon monoxide?

What are you saying...?

Was he poisoned?

Yes?

I don't know.

I'm not convinced by your strategy.

Plus, it's hardly police protocol.

Look who's talking.

Watch. This will be interesting.

Lina...

do you hate me that much?

You know I don't.

Well, it depends.

You faked your own death to get me out of there.

- You stole my project. - I wanted to help.

This experiment has never been done on a woman.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to help you.

Taking my place is not helping.

This will never work out if you don't let me be.

Does that mean that it I...

We're not like that.

Have I ever tormented you at work?

I'm not here to give orders. Not that you would listen...

No, I have no problem with that.

I'm a modern guy.

Some temperaments are just more domineering than others.

So now you'll say I'm castrating.

I'm not saying that. You just like to be right.

Don't you? Do you like to be wrong, Paul?

It's about right or wrong.

- That's what you just said. - I like to be right, but...

So there.

- So, release them? - Yes.

I can't believe this!

Thank you.

Are you still at it?

Who are all these guys? Are you serious...?

You're weird.

I don't want her dating any perverts.

This is very reassuring.

I have 6 interesting profiles at less than 30 km.

There's an architect, a baker,

a surfer...

Nobody lies on the Internet.

- A surfer...? - Would you like that?

No, he's way too...

I have my eyes set on this teacher.

I think he has it all.

Don't get too excited.

Will you leave mom any choice, or force her to marry?

That might work.

- The picture is good. - Thanks.

- What's the password? - "Policewoman."

"Lol." "Sht."

You're wasting your time.

Why do you say that?

She will never want someone else, she's stuck on dad.

Breakfast time!

Hi, darling!

- Hello, mom. - Kiss.

- Hi, sweetie. - Hi, mom.

Chief Soler here.

No.

I'll be right there.

I have to go.

See you tonight, my loves.

Did she overhear us?

I don't know.

Hello, Stéphane.

- Erwan. - Chief.

So?

Lina Bern was choked to death.

Rigor mortis has barely set in.

She died less than 2 hours ago.

Look,

the lock was forced. The murderer wanted something.

OK.

Did they take the cash?

- Yes. It's empty. - Her wallet isn't.

And her cell?

It's gone.

Sébastien, here.

Strange thief.

A fake robbery?

Choking is common in crimes of passion.

- Where was Guilhem? - Captain Marchal is on it.

Who is this girl?

Violette Blandin.

It's the second time she's found Lina Bern dead.

Poor girl.

Miss. Blandin?

Hello.

Chief Soler.

Had you been robbed before?

This is a small club. We have nothing.

When did you last see Lina Bern?

Last night.

At around 7 pm, when I left.

She wanted to go down in order to unwind.

Whom did she go down with?

Nobody.

- Is that legal? - No.

It'll be fine. Calm down.

Please...

Erwan,

keep looking into Lina Bern.

Yes, Chief.

- Hello, Franck. - Hi, Camille.

Is she really dead this time?

I like your humor, Camille.

You would have been a hit in Medical School.

I left indelible traces at my Law School.

Estimated time of death?

8 am.

Barely any fight marks, barely any tissue on her.

She didn't fight back.

- She knew her aggressor. - Probably.

Also, she had sexual intercourse that night.

- Forced intercourse? - No, no signs of violence.

How do you like your new colleague?

She's our superior, so I can't tell her off.

Would you care to?

Maybe.

Lina.

This can't be true.

We seem to be trapped in a time warp here.

Where were you this morning at 8 am, Mr. Guilhem?

At my house.

Do you suspect me again?

Just like we did yesterday. Time warp.

Lina left my house early in the morning.

We had made up.

Go on. I'm listening.

She came over last night.

She had just been to the cave.

And...

And?

She was tired of us hurting each other,

of our fights.

She had decided to leave.

- The region. - Alone?

I was still shocked by her fake death.

I begged her to stay.

And I... realized I didn't want to lose her.

What happened after that?

We made love again.

And we said

it would be worth it to start over.

But she can't confirm that.

Did you send me the report?

Hello.

The newbie just interrogated Guilhem without telling you.

I want to be there when you tell her off.

I have no reason to do that.

The initiative she took corresponds to her rank,

so it was perfect.

What about my initiatives?

90% of the time they're beyond your purview.

OK. Guilhem's account seems to be true.

We found 2 wine glasses at his house, one with Lina's DNA.

He may have tailed her.

Claudie Seban contacted her at her house at 7:30.

30 minutes before his ex-wife was killed.

He was at home.

He could have been here in 30 min.

No.

OK.

We're looking for carbon monoxide retailers.

You think Lina didn't sabotage the study?

- No. She was honest. - What's your theory?

She knew who had tried to poison Guilhem.

She investigated...

The perp killed her.

- Who could hate our couple? - Our what?

I mean, them.

Right. yes...

If that's within the purview of my...

So nobody told you?

What?

You're fired.

No.

Hello.

Excuse me, Captain,

but we usually knock before coming in.

Chief, I could see what you were doing.

Excuse me?

Is your connection secure?

I'm not judging you.

After a divorce, it's hard to make a first step.

But your navigation leaves traces.

Yes. So... how should I put it?

I think I'm old enough to know what I'm doing.

If we mind our own business, things'll go fine.

Let me remind you that I am your superior,

so next time you want to conduct an interrogation

it would be best to ask my permission.

OK, Chief. Understood.

Thank you, Captain.

However, you've done a great job on your first day.

Jasmine and lavender: Clears all bad vibes.

On your wrist, once a day. Let me know what you think.

She just gave Soler her cheap perfume.

Those are essential oils. They're very effective.

Do they sell it at your eco shops with the "merriment"?

It's marigold, Camille.

Same thing.

I like Sophie.

She's outspoken and that's welcome.

You call that bad-tempered in me, but she's...

She's manipulating you.

She interrogates at will, refuses to leave the office...

Captain.

Are you bickering? That's cute.

Is there a Barbier and Lebellec thing?

Can I help you?

Marchal wants you at Sud Spéléo.

And we'll keep tracing the carbon monoxide.

Isn't that cool?

Wow!

Come see this.

Speleologists, murderers! You'll PAY

Environmentalists.

- Find out more. - Sure.

They have a blog.

- Huh? - They have a blog.

Tree-huggers and cavers usually get along.

Not here.

"Speleology disturbs bat nesting."

They tried to pre-empt Guilhem's experience.

Speleologists, murderers! You'll Pay

That's bullshit.

Maybe, but they threatened Lina Bern.

Is the accusation founded?

No, we raise awareness, alerting interns to it.

We work to protect bats with some locals.

- Did you file a complaint? - No, Lina said that'd suit them.

She didn't want bad publicity.

Any other run-ins with them?

2 weeks ago, our equipment was vandalized.

They left a logo tag.

How did they get in?

Thanks, Marcus.

I think a militant infiltrated the club.

Right. There she is.

Why lie to us, Violette?

You hid the threats and vandalizing from us.

That had nothing to do with Lina's death.

How do you know?

We examined your past, Violette.

You've never liked speleologists.

Intimidation, vandalizing, even a fire in Nîmes.

They killed the greater horseshoe bat.

The greater what?

It's a kind of bat.

A protected species.

Lina knew the equipment must have been vandalized

by an insider.

Is that how she caught you?

It was about 10 days ago.

- Why didn't she fire you? - She listened.

She gave me another chance.

But she thought you released that carbon monoxide...

That wasn't me. That would have killed the bats.

Not a bad argument. And a sincere one.

Did Lina agree with you, on bats?

She cared for animals

Unlike others.

Others like...?

Marcus.

He went into bat nesting areas too often.

Lina told him he should be more careful with the bats,

that we should work together.

She trusted me.

How did he take it?

Not well.

She threatened to expel him.

Yes, Chief.

Marcus is about to come up.

Sure, I'll bring him in.

Stop!

Stop!

He threw himself at me!

You caused Lina's death!

You have things to tell us.

You're coming in too. Let's go.

- Captain. - Yes?

Sorry.

The Chief is with Guilhem. Marcus is waiting.

- OK. - See you later.

Is Erwan getting medical help?

Sophie has a wonderful cream made with moon rocks

or grouper buttocks...

Do you two get along?

Not really, no. You shouldn't trust her.

Why not?

Why have 2 captains in the same precinct?

The colonel will choose whom?

Well, I...

So you think

Marcus Bréat is responsible for Lina's death?

Is that it?

She told me he'd been stalking her.

What do you mean?

He followed her, insisted, wouldn't leave her alone.

Why does that bother you?

You were no longer together.

Do you think she had no right to move on?

Of course she did.

But we were still in love.

The day Pierre left, he lost Lina.

But she wasn't keen on you.

What are you talking about?

She liked to be underground.

She wanted us to make the club grow.

She said she's expel you if you antagonized the greens.

I would have worked with them.

Did Marcus ever tell you he liked Lina?

No, but he tends to get all worked up.

Let's imagine it inversely.

Lina liked Marcus, and you were jealous.

If she was interested in him,

why did she come to me?

Maybe she gave in to old memories.

For Lina the future mattered...

not the past.

Lina wanted Pierre out of her life.

She wanted him gone for good.

OK. Nice story.

But let's simplify things. Where were you today at 8 am?

At Pharmalab,

with Claudie Seban.

What was Marcus doing there?

Trying to convince Claudie to do Out of Time with Lina.

The same Claudie who phoned Guilhem?

They both have alibies.

Correct.

And the carbon monoxide?

It's sold freely online. It's like a needle...

In a haystack.

Let's just look for the tanks, then.

We've found nothing.

Maybe they killed Lina over that.

For having seen the tanks?

That's why she went down into the cave alone.

She was looking for them.

- We need the tanks. - I'm off.

No, Paul! We need pros for that!

Don't worry, I'll look after him. Captain!

I know where the tanks came from.

Where?

Let's play Guess with Sophie.

You're very creative, for a captain.

Yeah. So, where...?

Pharmalab.

You just wrote it on your notepad.

Well done.

The lab reported the theft

of 3 tanks

10 days after Guilhem was confined.

And Claudie Seban said nothing?

I don't know.

Claudie was in a quarrel with Pharmalab

since she chose Guilhem for the study.

They must have hated the way that ended.

True. They just fired her.

Strange. I'll investigate.

She has solid alibies: Marcus and Guilhem.

Yes. Maybe they're all protecting each other.

- Are you OK? - Yes.

Let's wait for the pros.

If the tanks are in there, maybe the killer is too.

There's a light!

No, Captain! I told Soler that...

Nobody go out! National police! Stop!

Your backpack!

What do you care about my firing?

Are you hiring?

No, we have all the people we need, thanks.

Where were you today at 8 am?

Here. I told your colleagues. I was with...

With Marcus. Yes, we know.

There's one problem, though.

Pharmalab took your pass last night.

And you're not in the visitors list from this morning.

Nor is Marcus, by the way.

You can surely explain that.

Security made a mistake.

We thought about that.

So we asked for the surveillance videos.

I bet we won't see you or Marcus on them.

The question is: Who is protecting whom?

Is Marcus your lover?

Are you mad?

There's no shame nowadays in being in love

with a much younger man.

The visitors from the last 30 days.

Excellent, thanks.

Marcus was here on the day the tanks were stolen.

In fact...

You're protecting Marcus because he is your son.

Yes, Camille?

I'm on my way!

Shit!

Captain, it's me, Pierre Guilhem.

Soler sent me for you.

Shit. Thanks...

- Are you OK? - Yeah.

- OK? - Yes.

Thank you.

- Are you OK? - Yes, perfect.

- I'm OK. - Thank you.

Paul?

- Oh, shit! - Are you wounded?

No, it was nothing. I slipped, Chief.

Why didn't you wait for the pros? You tire me...

- I tried... - Enough, Camille.

- I think it was Marcus. - Yes, we know.

Is he still in there?

- No one has come out. - There's an exit up there.

You stay and get medical attention. Cécile, Éric, let's go.

Watch the exit!

I think Vannier has something for that.

Yes, moon rock or grouper buttock cream.

- I haven't tried that. - You should.

Marcus, stop!

Don't do that!

Turn around slowly. Hands in the air.

Good, come down.

Slowly.

Éric, the handcuffs.

We have no proof. A confession would be nice.

OK.

We know you were not with your mom today.

Claudie Seban.

You're not on the Pharmalab surveillance videos.

That proves nothing.

He wants proof.

You see this ring? It leaves marks, like this one

from when you hit me.

And we found the same mark on Lina Bern's neck.

You killed her because she went back to Guilhem.

I would have done anything for her, but she said

I didn't understand, that they had made love...

I knew her. Pierre would have made her suffer.

That was not your problem.

She had promised not to go back to Pierre.

How could she...?

Maybe she couldn't help it.

She had no right to.

Was the carbon monoxide to sabotage the experiment?

I didn't tell her,

just as she didn't tell me she would fake her death.

OK...

National Police

That bluff with the ring was good.

- I wasn't bluffing. It left a mark. - I see no mark now.

How strange, these folks

who want to start over with their exes.

An ex should stay an ex. Don't you think?

Huh...?

I don't know. I guess it depends.

Yes, but when the situation isn't clear, it's painful.

It causes a lot of drama.

No one deserves that, really.

- Are you referring to us? - No, no.

No, I'm speaking in general.

Because our divorce has been a success.

Everyone says it.

Glad we agree on this.

I'd go even further, Paul.

If you find someone else, I'll be happy for you.

Really happy.

Me too, of course.

I'm actually working on it.

Don't worry, it's fine.

We'll talk tomorrow. Sure, no problem.

OK, baby. Hugs.

Later. Ciao.

Your aviator's back?

Steward. If you really want to know...

Let me guess. Out of battery or plane mode?

Plane mode.

He's not very inventive.

Lina Bern's case is closed.

What a pity...

OK, Léa, you're not 15 anymore.

A little essential oil.

Thank you, Sophie.

You have 27 new messages.

Good evening, mom.

Enjoy the movie and don't come home late. I trust you.

Behave yourselves.

I'll spend a quiet evening like a good "policewoman."

- See you. - Later.

"Policewoman" is not very sexy.

27 new messages

"I'm simple, transparent, down-to-earth,

"unpretentious, generous..."

Wow, all that...?

"Jérôme, 45 years old." OK.

"I was attracted by your regard.

"Cédric, 42 years old."

This is incredible!
