(Marie, panicking) Alex!

? Music stops. ?

That's fine. That's fine.

Hold me tight.

Thank you. - How about it?

Yes.

How could they find me?

Who are they"? Who are you talking about?

Luchenko is dead. - You think

I was only in trouble with Lutschenko?

There are many more after me.

I'll try to find out who did that.

You'll need a hideout until then. - A hideout?

I can't take it anymore, Alex. I'm sick of this life.

Then change it.

Move to me

? melancholic music ?

(Alex) I don't want to lose you again.

"Here is the mailbox of Alexandre Pardo."

"Please leave a message."

Yes, Alex, it's me. Where are you?

I got something. Roussel may have poisoned his wife

and killed Malagnac because he discovered everything. Call me back.

- Where is Pardo? - I haven't seen him today.

- So what do you have? - I got the text

Viewed by Laurence Roussel.

Turns out she asked a friend last January,

covering her for a sweetheart with a Christoph.

Two months later she wanted a weekend away with her girlfriend.

But Madame Roussel you prefer to spend the weekend with a Fabrice.

She kept cheating on her husband so.

And there we have our motive.

Fine, so when Pardo gets on his phone,

tell him to do the exhumation

- Request from Madame Roussel. - Okay.

Do we know the name of this friend?

Yes. Sandra Chevais.

Why are you asking me that?

Just answer the question, Madame Chevais. Yes?

Fr�d�ric Roussel knew

from his wife's adventures - yes or no?

Yes.

Good. And how did he react to that?

- You don't suspect him. - Really,

just answer please. Yes?

Madame Roussel told you surely, didn't she?

She was afraid that Fr�d�ric would never forgive her.

And on the day of her death she asked me

to tell him that she loved him.

Wait - on the anniversary of her death wasn't he with her?

No, he was with customers in Germany.

He couldn't have guessed.

? Exciting music ?

um...

The day before Madame Roussel died

was a shipment of paintings sent.

Yes, I remember that.

And did you notice anything about it?

No.

(Sandra) Those were just Fr�d�ric's paintings.

- Everything will be fine. I spoke to the DA.

- We may exhume Laurence. - Ah.

- That's good, yes. - We'll know more tomorrow.

- Where's Antoine? - Oh, Capitaine Verlay?

He takes lessons from my father.

- He's bathing in culture, so to speak. - (laughing) Ah, very good.

- What is it? - Could I ask you something?

Why, surely.

What...

Don't worry, that... ? nervous laughter ?

Well I, uh...

Marie Seghers has a little problem.

She can't sleep at home anymore.

Aha.

And I thought maybe you might have

a place for them in your office.

- In the Louvre? - Yes.

It's only a matter of a night or two until we see clearer

You, the leader of the OCBC,

want an infamous painting thief sleeping in the Louvre?

- Are you serious? - She never stole from museums.

- Your ethics are against it. - Oh,

if your ethics are against it... I don't know what to say.

- No. - Someone wants to kill her.

And you certainly won't look for them in the Louvre. Please.

Give her a chance.

- Do you realize... - ? Knock, door ?

Please take a look.

(Chassagne) Unbelievable.

I've never seen anything like this in my career.

It should correspond to the respective painting the century,

assign the artist, the associated current.

(Chassagne) Now he puts Manet the Expressionist in the 16th

and there - Velasquez Rococo to the 20th century.

He's trying in an impressive way,

and then with every picture surely wrong.

That I do not understand.

He said he repeated everything yesterday.

(Chassagne) Yes, it's fascinating.

It's like his memory refuses

something to keep as far as art is concerned.

(Alex) Like a block. - (Chassagne) Yes, exactly.

Cognitive kind.

Like dyslexia, dyscalculia Capitaine Verlay is to my knowledge

the first known case of dysartism.

Hmm

? slow string music ?

- May I ask you something? - Go ahead.

Why do you steal artwork? Well, I mean,

why not gold bars or expensive ones jewellery? Why artworks?

(Marie) Without a doubt because of the beauty.

I always keep them for a few days before I give them away.

I guess it makes me happy.

Well, you might as well admire them in the museum. That would be better.

But also less exciting. Less adrenaline.

And Commandant Pardo, how does he feel about adrenaline?

(sigh) I don't know.

Maybe he would prefer

if I found a substitute addiction.

- Yes. And a little regulated life.

- What do you think of this? - No.

You really can't ask me that.

And I'm definitely incapable in love.

See you tomorrow, then.

By the way - in case you get the idea

stealing a painting from the museum,

Adrenaline or not - I'll find you.

And bust your ass.

- Sure? - Sure.

- Good night. - ? Door is closing. ?

? Birds chirping ?

- Monsieur Roussel? - What do you want?

We'll take you to the interrogation by court order,

requested by Public Prosecutor Berger at the Nanterre Court.

Can't you leave me alone?

Here.

? Exciting music ?

? Radio announcements ?

Your wife was slowly and methodically poisoned with copper arsenite.

(Roussel) That's impossible.

Can you think of anyone who could have done this?

Just a little bit of it, every day?

An admirer of Claude Monet perhaps?

He wanted his wife to die of cancer. Like Camille.

We stole a Monet to save Laurence.

I won't poison her! - Maybe Malagnac wanted to

just save his sister.

The focus of all of this is you. Your wife is being poisoned,

a month later your brother-in-law is murdered

and three of your copies are stolen.

- There's a lot coming together. - Why should I

steal my own copies? Hm?

How come?

I found something

The autopsy report by Laurence Roussel.

She had paint under her nails.

She died, how did she get paint under her nails?

Her husband's studio was right next door.

So what?

Did she go painting to relax or what?

? Exciting music ?

What? What do you think?

She didn't want to paint

- but write something down. - And what?

What you mean something like a message

- or something like that? - Yes.

Okay, so we know that Malagnac's killer is trying

to get the pictures of the last delivery.

- Yes. - Yes.

So her message only endures

if the message includes the killer's name.

- Which is why he wants the images back. - Yes.

We have to go back to Roussel.

When I'm hanging out the laundry, I can see him, every now and then.

Ah yes, you can see from here Monsieur Roussel's atelier well.

He's usually in there on time eight o'clock.

Um, did you visit Madame Roussel before she died?

No, I visited her initially in the hospital,

but here she didn't want that.

- Mmm. - I see.

And the weekend before she died, did you see her there in the studio?

Yes. Yes, yes, I know exactly

because I thought she's probably better.

Sometimes she helped her husband.

I didn't think that she would die so quickly.

She had a friend with her, Sandra Chevais.

Was she in the studio too?

- No. I've only seen them in the garden.

She told me not to visit Laurence more,

because she needs to rest.

OK, thank you, Madame Martin.

- Sure, I'll be next door. - Thank you, Madame Martin.

If Sandra Chevais was here, why Laurence didn't tell her,

that her husband poisoned her?

? Subliminal music ?

Maybe, because Sandra poisoned her.

We checked your phone calls.

In the three days that you were with her

Madame Roussel didn't take any calls.

That's normal. She was very tired.

Hmm

So she didn't even talk to her husband?

He tried it five times on her phone.

Then on the landline. You picked it up

and all done in 30 seconds.

The next day in 35 seconds and then there was radio silence.

Yes. He said he was very busy.

Do you know what I'm thinking?

You prevented Madame Roussel from

to speak to her husband.

Exactly, like you kept the neighbor away.

What happened in these three days?

? Mysterious music ?

(Sandra) I tried again.

He was unavailable.

Apparently he has no reception.

? She groans. ? I want to try.

The sister says you should rest.

? Laurence groans. ?

- ? Heart monitor beeping. ? - See you tomorrow.

- You locked her up? - No.

They felt that she didn't have long to live.

And you would finally have the house to yourself.

That is not true.

You visited them every weekend.

You are a restorer and undoubtedly knew

also the effect of Scheele's green.

Sandra?

Hm?

? Laurence sighs. ?

? Mournful music ?

(Laurence) I saw you Scheeles Gr�n

poured into my tea

? Laurence sighs. ?

What are you talking about

And I wrote it down.

? Somber sounds ?

- Oh yeah? And shipped, despite your condition, yes?

The suppliers do that.

(Sandra) You lie.

I checked the pictures, there was nothing.

Fr�d�ric will not overlook it.

With his microscope.

You know he checks his pictures again at his customers.

Why should I poison her, huh?

Why? - (Alex) She suffers from erotomania.

She thinks they love her.

Is convinced of it.

It's a kind of paranoid delusion.

And everything that stands in the way -

your wife for example -, is eliminated.

You are alone. No partner, no children.

Zero privacy. While they... well.

She had a nice husband

a nice house - which apparently wasn't enough for her.

They were jealous.

(Roussel) You're wrong. It's impossible.

She really wanted to save her.

Did you suggest steal the Monet?

(Alex) Without a doubt, to make yourself indispensable.

- What are you saying? Steal a Monet? It's impossible!

It's the only way!

Stephane agrees.

He swaps the paintings in New York. Laurence needs us!

And now.

? Subliminal music ?

There is no other way.

Thank you Sandra

I don't know what I would do without you.

(Alex) He's convinced that she wanted to save Laurence.

Doubts she didn't let you on the phone,

he trusts her blindly.

Crap.

We can't prove anything

we only have hypotheses and conjectures.

We need to find the painting with the message

Yes, otherwise our charge collapses,

the DA won't even file it.

Yes, only we have left

the confiscation of the remaining paintings.

Pff. Great, this will take at least a week.

And Chevais will be released in 20 hours and 23 minutes.

- It won't take that long. - Excuse me?

I asked Hugo for an analysis

of the colors under Madame Roussels Nails requested.

- We should know them by tomorrow. - Does that mean we know

which painting is the message in?

That's the way it is.

So then - see you tomorrow.

You don't mind if I sleep here?

- Make yourself at home. - Excellent.

Many many thanks.

Do you snore? Hm?

No, I don't snore, Thank God.

? Florence sighs. ?

So good night.

Good night.

? Mysterious music ?

(Psychologist) And in your dream Capitaine Verlay stayed

always in front of this door?

Captain?

(Psychologist) As if to protect you from what's behind.

? Latch snaps open. ?

? Exciting music ?

I am with my father.

I am sitting in front of a Monet painting.

A look inside an apartment.

(Psychologist) What do you associate with this painting?

I don't know.

- What? - In your dream -

what is Capitaine Verlay trying to protect you from?

Before the memory of this painting?

There's something you don't want to remember.

Something that is still knocking on your door.

- So? - (Hugo) Well, let's see.

Among the twelve paintings delivered

we found one that contains all the color pigments

found on Madame Roussel's fingers.

- "Camille on the bench". - Is there a message

is she on this copy.

We need a warrant to investigate it.

We still have some time before they let Chevais run.

- Who was it sold to? - Second, second.

It's crazy.

- What's crazy? - It fits the story so well

by Laurence Roussel, for in this painting

death is indeed omnipresent.

Can you see it? There, that white line -

one would think she was holding a letter of condolence.

The man in black behind her is Death.

And do you see that in the background? The woman who is waiting?

- Yes, yes, I see them, yes. - Damn shit.

- What is it? - The buyer is Ken Makarov,

the Ambassador of Kazakhstan.

Crap, an ambassador?

Until we have a search order, that will take time.

? Door ?

(Alex) You let the killer go? - Thank you.

Sorry, the Ministry has prohibited a search.

The situation is tense. - Chevais has been sacked,

if we don't do anything, she goes under.

? Exciting music ?

They're willing to do anything to exonerate Marie Seghers.

I'm sorry, what?

I had this in the mail this morning.

Listen, Madame... - Do you know what you're risking?

I just wanted to check something,

before I put them back in the file.

Your pipe dream, after Sandra Chevais is to blame?

What the painting might prove.

That's 10,000 for the thefts,

5000 for the photos and another 10,000 risk premium.

It now increases to 300,000.

What? - They stole a Monet.

A real one.

No, it wasn't me. I don't have the Monet.

I do not care. Get the money.

And I'm supposed to rely on your objectivity.

I'm sorry, what?

Are you that attached to her?

This is a set game.

I killed someone and risked my life up on the roof.

I want 300,000, in two days. - No!

That wasn't discussed. That's not possible, I don't have 300...

You can do it. You'll.

Should I squeeze harder?

I can't hear you! Should I? - No!

? Menacing music ?

? sobs ?

? slap, groan ?

? She groans. ?

? Churning music ?

Sorry, we've known each other for a long time. I'll give you a chance.

I will receive the photos in a week.

Until then Prove Segher's innocence,

I'm looking past it, but I need proof.

And how am I supposed to do that without the fucking painting?

I don't want to know about that, that's your problem.

That's all I can do for you.

Take a week off and think about it.

Seriously, how did you...

You want to break into the embassy with Seghers?

- Seriously? Are you crazy? - If anyone can do it, it's her.

You realize there's nothing against her, huh?

She can run away whenever she wants. Who says she doesn't?

- I just know. I trust her. - Of course you do.

Your trust but that's not enough

to atone for their deeds.

I tell you I don't like this.

- I don't have a good feeling. - Which do you prefer?

Chevais disappears and I'm going to jail for embezzlement?

Do you want that, Antoine?

? Exciting music ?

Ken Makarov - an art lover and nerd,

who has built up a unique collection over the past 15 years:

Copies of the finest paintings Occidental painting.

The best of the Louvre, the Mus�e d'Orsay and the National Gallery.

? He speaks Kazakh. ?

(Alex) All his copies are original size.

Laws don't interest him.

He employs the best copyists in the world.

(Marie) Perfect copies attract of course all kinds of crooks.

(Alex) Two years ago attempted to break into his house.

He had a safe built for his finest pictures.

? Beep ?

? beeps ?

(Marie) I studied the security system.

Armored door, biometric lock with digital recognition,

surveillance cameras, lasers - the full range.

(Alex) He doesn't let anyone near his paintings.

? Exciting music ?

The only way in there is Sell Makarov a painting,

that he really wants to hang with him.

Great idea.

So we call and say: "We have a beautiful painting",

- then it works? - We need a Trojan horse.

- A Trojan horse? - Someone to give us access.

Someone known in the art world.

- ? door ? - is anyone there?

? Door closes. ?

- What are you doing here? - Shit, you can't...

Break into embassies

doesn't exactly be in my area of ??expertise.

I agree with you, for once.

You're not stealing the painting. You're only gaining Makarov's trust.

His trust?

You should organize a lecture.

A lecture about what?

About it.

The "Monna Vanna"?

- It's not a copy. - ? He smiles. ?

It's better than a copy.

Welcome to the Louvre. Please have a seat.

(Alex) Your task, if you agree,

is to explain that to Makarov.

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I am extremely pleased

and feel very honored

you tonight this...

extraordinary paintings present.

He should understand that he has a unique opportunity.

(Marie) An opportunity that he absolutely must seize.

This is much more than a copy.

An extraordinary work of interpretation

of the missing painting of the master.

It's a version for me

which comes very close to the mythical work of Leonardo da Vinci.

And? Are you in?

Leonardo da Vinci should be the painter,

the hardest to copy.

No, no, no, please, no.

That deserves your applause, not me.

Your turn. - I'm ready to go.

? Exciting music ?

Bonsoir, Madame. Ken Makarov. Enchant�.

- Very pleased. - And thank you

for this highly interesting lecture.

- It was my pleasure. - Very educational,

I didn't know that the painting existed.

It is extraordinary.

(over speaker) "Oh yes, a special work."

"Completely unique."

And, um, who's the lucky one owner of this masterpiece?

Madame de la Tour.

There, do you see that lady in red over there?

- That's her. - ? He laughs. ?

What luck. Thank you so much again.

- My respects. - Not at all. You're welcome.

A lovely evening.

- "It worked." - It's not over yet.

Madame de la Tour? Ken Makarov, Ambassador of Kazakhstan.

I'm honoured.

Madame de la Tour, er, sorry Your my frankness,

but I am very interested for your "Monna Vanna".

Mr. Ambassador, You're getting me

a bit unprepared.

I'm offering you 100,000 euros for this.

Bingo.

Are you kidding I hope?

Oh no, what is she doing?

(Makarov) I beg your pardon? - Wait.

The painting means a lot to me

because it belonged to my mother.

I can't possibly part with it for 100,000.

That would be way below its value.

I'm sorry. Don't be mad.

I said she's not to be trusted.

(Makarov) "Of course not." - Monsieur.

Madam. - Thank you.

No bingo.

Let's go to jail now, we know why.

Because Madame wanted to get even more.

How much would you have stopped gambling? Ten, 20, 100,000?

- How much is your stupidity? - Hey, hey, hey, Antoine!

Let her explain first.

I wasn't under any illusions. But now it's clear.

They would be miserable crooks and completely out of place in a heist.

- Pff. Is that supposed to be an insult? - What do you think?

A man who protects his collection as he does is obsessed.

And suspicious, very suspicious, am towards paranoia.

If I had accepted it straight away, he would have sensed something.

The harder it is

the more he'll think it's the heist of the century.

And that's the only way does the deal happen.

Well, apparently he's negotiating

- rather not at all with a lunatic. - (Alex) Antoine...

? vibrating alert ?

It's Makarov.

"This is Ken Makarov." - Mr. Ambassador.

(Marie) Nice to hear from you.

I don't have time for pleasantries, Madame de la Tour.

200,000. my last offer

I insist that my image stands out.

Don't worry, I'll reserve the best spot for this

in the midst of my most beautiful copies.

Hanging a painting can be very delicate.

You have to pay attention to the light, the harmony

with the other paintings. - What do you want?

What would you say if Florence Chassagne took over?

She would be perfect for that.

(Makarov) "Agreed."

Discuss the details with my advisor.

There you are. And we're in.

? Exciting music ?

Caution.

It's an honor to have a brilliant art historian like you

taking time for my modest collection.

I'm honored by the trust you place in me. Really.

- This way. Come on. - ? - beeps, beeps ?

Follow me, please.

This way, gentlemen.

That's incredible.

- Really remarkable. - Isn't it?

I've been for 15 years looking for the best copyist

for every artist, every motif.

Sorry? Gentlemen, excuse me,

but this is not the right box

- with the "Monna Vanna". - Please?

- What is it? - You mixed up the boxes.

Oh crap.

- Ah. Sorry, it would have been the left box. This is the right one.

No, that can't be, I have...

I told you it's the left one! Three times!

Hey hey hey that's good! Calm down.

- There? - It's okay.

The whole thing is easy to regulate.

Get the right box.

So bring this one back and get the other one. This is the 96.

- Nine and six, right? - Yes, yes, we can do it.

- Sorry again. - Yes, sorry.

- sorry. If I don't control everything -.

- somewhat incompetent. But nice. Sorry.

May I stay and admire your artwork?

Madame, I am very sorry but no one is allowed to be alone here.

Boris is very meticulous when it comes to security - and rightly so.

I'd be happy to take you to my office.

- There are copies as well. Less - beautiful, but also very interesting.

- It would be my pleasure. - Come on.

? They speak Kazakh. ?

After you.

? Exciting music ?

? beep ?

- Good. Let's move on. - Yes, ma'am.

? Beeps ?

? door? Now. You have 7 minutes.

Please.

? Tick ?

? beep ?

There she is. Don't you have eyes in your head?

- Are you kidding me? - You really annoy me!

- Well, first of all. - Come on, let it go.

I had this made last year.

Uh, please sit down.

? Blow ?

- What do you think? It could also hang in the Louvre, right?

It's remarkable and downright accurate.

? Ominous music ?

Something wrong?

You didn't mention that you work for the OCBC.

- What? - Follow me, please.

Gentlemen, please hurry. - Yes, yes, we are coming.

(quietly) Marie, you have little time. - Make something faster.

- (quietly) Again. - Right away.

Can you hear me? ? Marie's voice is distorted. ?

(quietly) We're coming back. Do you hear? Mary? Marie!

? Exciting music ?

My collaboration with the OCBC is very sporadic.

Does that bother you?

I've never been involved with OCBC and don't care.

Your police don't like my country and I feel the same way.

? Beeps, beeps ?

(Makarov) Good.

Come, gentlemen.

? Music stops. ?

(Makarov) Good gentlemen, get ready.

- Quickly, please. - Mmm.

? Lock ?

- Madame Chassagne? - (startled) Yes?

Here between the Jean-Baptiste Corot

- and the Giorgione. Agreed? Yes, that's perfect.

(Makarov) Good.

? Car door, engine ?

Sorry again. I should have known

- that my collaboration... - I have to apologize.

Boris takes his work too seriously sometimes.

- You okay back there? - So, come out.

Everything OK.

- May I ask you something? - Of course.

Your copy of Monet's "Field of Poppies" is absolutely fantastic.

It looks so real. Where did you get it?

What happened? I couldn't hear you anymore.

Don't know, I answered. Maybe interference.

I would have gone insane. do you have it

The Monets are by the same copyist, Fr�d�ric Roussel.

I still have it.

So thank you. Thank you for your trust.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

? Exciting music ?

? dial tone ?

We have it!

? Breathe a sigh of relief? You were awesome.

- Really? - Really good.

I was freaking out.

- And? - Just a moment.

I don't see anything at the moment.

Where is the toilet? - The next door on the left.

That could take a while.

You sure Roussel would have noticed?

Why don't you pick up your phone?

What is it?

- Huh? - Where's Marie?

In the toilet, why?

The "poppies" at Makarov - these are the real ones.

The ones stolen in New York.

- Is the picture still in the message? - I'm not sure.

No.

? Churning music ?

? Music fades away. ?

? Melancholic music ?

Seven minutes. She asked me for seven minutes.

She wanted to steal the poppies from the start also.

? Antoine is breathing heavily. ?

She must have replaced it with the fake.

It was all planned.

Only without me

? Cell phone vibrates. ?

Yes what?

OK. We come.

Hugo spotted the message in the picture.

We were right.

You're off the hook.

Looks like.

(Laurence) Sandra Chevais poisoned me.

Do you recognize your wife's handwriting?

? Deep breathing ?

do you believe me now

(man) No, I don't know, after the... wait, I'll ask him.

Wait over there.

? Melancholic music ?

May I go to her?

Listen, you don't have to do this to yourself.

- If you... - Yes, yes.

OK.

Do you know...

Monet was also happy with another woman after Camille's death.

We're meant to be together, Fr�d�ric.

You know that

Laurence couldn't stop that. - What are you talking about?

What would you be without me? You said so yourself.

Admit that you love me. - You are sick.

But you love me. Yes. - No. You disgust me.

Come on.

So, um, the judge is coming to you.

Youssouf, will you wait with him, please?

- Sit over there. - Yes.

? Antoine sighs. ?

- How are you? - It's okay.

? Steps ?

- Have you talked to Berger? - Yes.

She kept her word.

Okay great. Then that's fine.

? Alex chuckles. ?

Alright Alex now listen

you know, stop thinking about her.

- Let's have a drink... - Let's go.

I'm going home see you tomorrow

? mysterious music ?

? melancholic music ?

(Marie) This is my parting gift.

I've always been sincere. Always.

But I have to face it: I will always be a thief.

Get happy.

? Deep sigh ?

? Quiet music ?

What does he want with all that stuff?

? Exciting music ?

(man) I'm sorry to have to tell you that.

(Chassagne) But please - what happened?

(Man) She died instantly.

? Rumble ?

- Unfortunately - the emergency doctor couldn't do anything more for her.

(policeman) We are really very sorry, Monsieur Chassagne.

? Somber sounds ?

(young Florence) What's your name?

My name is Florence. And you?

His name is Jean.

- Why isn't he answering me? - He's my son.

He's sad. He lost his moms too.

Is that her there

- Yes. I can't talk to them anymore.

But if you want I'll talk to you.

It feels good when you're sad.

It stays between us.

All painters can talk to you.

With us you are never alone again.
