? Dark theme music ?

Antoine Verley

Florence Chassagne

? smoldering menacing music ?

Madame Verley?

Yes?

I have something for you.

How do you know me?

? Menacing music ?

What is that?

I don't know.

- Who is this? - This is dad and my mom.

And why is your daddy blue?

Because he's a cop. - Ah yeah.

Thomas, can you look up the meaning of the color blue?

(Thomas) Yes.

Blue symbolizes reality, loyalty and justice.

And does that make you a cop?

Yes.

Your Maman is all red. - (approving) Hm.

Why? - Because she's mad at dad.

(Laurie) He's already killed two people.

Listen we will protect you, okay?

This is because of you, because of your work. You don't care about us.

- No, Laurie, that's not true. - Your work has always been important.

And now a maniac wants to kill us.

What does the guy want?

Apparently he wants to

challenge me

What?

But why?

I don't know. Really, I dunno.

Antoine, I don't want that he hurts the children.

No, that won't happen.

Come here, don't worry.

No fear.

? Swelling music ?

This is a self-portrait from Courbet, "The Wounded Man".

Originally there was a woman snuggled up to him.

- Here. - Ah yes.

- And he painted them over? - Courbet did that a lot.

He painted over his paintings. See them? Virginie Binet.

She was Courbet's great love.

She left him after ten years.

He removed her from the painting...

and replaced it with what? A sword.

And a bloodstain on his heart.

So the killer is communicating with us through these cards.

Thrown at the dogs.

- All hope lost. - ? Cell phone vibrates. ?

- "Abandoned by my wife." - "And I'm still bleeding."

Hello?

? Pounding music ?

(man) "How are you, Verlay?"

Listen carefully, you idiot.

Instead of my family, mess with me rather. I'm waiting.

We both have a lot in common.

No, no, we don't have anything in common. Nothing at all. Do you hear?

"You are because of your divorce

at your boss freaked out at the detective. Right?"

- Wait, how do you know? - "I have my sources."

And instead of punishing you

you are made group leader at the OCBC.

The police probably use double standards.

"I don't understand a word. What do you mean?"

See you soon, captain.

"With double standards"...

He had a source in the police force.

Why is he telling us this? What's all this about?

No idea, no idea.

Maybe he used to be a cop.

Hmm? And he knows art history.

- Maybe OCBC - was - or wanted to start here.

He was released after the divorce.

Okay, we're going through all the files of former employees.

We take the divorced ones match them to the identikit.

Wait Alex what will become of my kids?

- And Laurie? - Exactly, yes, I'll tell you right away.

Come along.

So you put me under police protection too? Hmm?

- You're completely pulling me out of this? - We can't take any chances.

And you can protect your children yourself,

and Laurie and your father.

- My father? - Yes, your father.

He's family. And he's a possible target.

Toussaint is not my family.

I don't care about him! Think he would have protected me?

That is an order.

Do you know what I would have wanted?

I would have liked to show him that I also have a family.

And I didn't even make it.

It'll be okay, huh?

Bonjour. - Bonjour.

Ouch! Hey my feet! - Bonjour.

That doesn't work, why with me?

I have a law firm here, I'm not a retiree.

We can't pay for a hotel

and your street is easier to save.

And who will compensate me for lost working time?

Hey! Ho, ho, ho, you there! No running here.

And we don't jump on the couch.

Their names are Thomas and Maxime. - No, I can't stand it.

- I can't take it. - Now listen to me carefully.

You don't yell at her, get it?

And neither are you my dad, you're just a lawyer.

Are you our grandfather? - (Thomas) Why is everything made of gold?

Do you always lie too? - Of course not. Why are you asking?

Because dad says all lawyers always lie.

Thanks, Maxime, now go play over there, yeah?

(Maxime) Okay, let's go!

There you have it, my pineapple!

(Maxime) Oops. - Mom, look.

They're still shy, but They're still thawing. Don't worry.

(Hugo) If you had opened it, it would have been destroyed.

Fortunately I have an old book scanner,

that cannot be opened.

- And what does it show? - Yes, unfortunately not too much.

A few words here and there, check it out for yourself.

"My pain, my hate."

But... this is a diary, isn't it?

Wait, sorry. Go again to the previous page. "Through..."

"Paris..." I see nothing.

"Ruined... powers."

- Does that mean something to you? - Maybe, yes.

I have to research.

Florence, get off there. That guy is dangerous.

He's already followed you.

If it was your family would you quit?

This one is twelve years old, you know?

I'll just have three glasses. - What are you doing?

These are for my clients. - Everyone else is dirty.

And I'm not here to do your dishes.

Why don't you find someone? Want to end up alone like me?

Do you think I want to talk to you about something like this?

Unbelievable, really.

Did you know that Courbet was never married?

For him that was bourgeois servitude.

Are you a Courbet connoisseur now?

- No, no, no. That's what our mutual friend told me

Like now, "our mutual friend"?

- Do you mean the killer? - Well...

People like to talk to me,

and after that you owe me.

- And what did he tell you? - What did he tell you?

That he cannot father children

and therefore his relationship didn't last.

But that his wife made a new life for herself.

- Blah, blah, blah... - You're just telling me now?

Excuse me,

talking to you isn't exactly pleasant.

- (Greg) "'allo?" - Yes. Greg.

We need to focus on

who have no children. He appears to be infertile.

We have already checked all

who have been released from the OCBC since 1990.

- None match the identikit. - Expand this to all officers.

Add the criterion "childless".

- "All right, I'll get back to you." - Okay. Thanks.

"Ruined",

"powers".

"Was ruined in Paris",

"powers".

He identifies with the hate that hit you

when you were accused of destroying the Vend�me Column.

What I heard there.

"What a pairing of nudibranch and peacock

could this something be named Monsieur Courbet come forth?"

"What a mix of wine, beer and flatulence

did that hairy gourd just grow out?"

- Alexandre Dumas the Younger. - Wow.

- And why such hatred? - Conformism.

And envy.

I couldn't work anymore.

You ruined me

Ruined...

Courbet, Courbet...

A portrait, I've already seen it.

"Regarding a refund..."

"Monsieur Tournage, a photographer. I have money difficulties."

OK.

He advised him to go...

Was in Paris...

"You set the price I didn't do anything."

"Ruined... Powers".

That's it.

Became

in Paris...

? menacing music ?

"powers". But of course.

? Cell phone vibrates. ?

- Hello? - "Captain?"

The notebook, do you know what I found?

- Pscht. - "Madame Chassagne?"

Are you still there? H... hello?

? Music ends somberly. ?

(Hugo) I left my office around 9pm,

she was still working there.

And was she alone?

Yes.

I should have stayed here.

Captain? He is it.

The video shows he taking her out.

He has a gun.

Then get out on Rue de Rivoli.

All right, get forensics

and call Pardo so we can get all the videos. OK?

- Okay. - Good.

Forward. Forward.

To put on handcuffs.

You can scream, there's nobody in this building.

Why are you doing this? What are you going to do with me?

I was trying to open your eyes

but you're helping that cop that despises all art.

- But I didn't... - Pshh.

Now you will have to face the consequences.

She found something did she tell you about it?

I had only given her what I could salvage.

A few single words.

- And are these the ones? - Among other things, yes.

Then she discovered what that means, didn't she?

And then written on the board here.

And when he kidnapped her, he wiped it off. Hmm?

Can we find out what it said?

No, unfortunately not.

- But... - But what?

What if we put ourselves in their shoes?

And how?

Well, there's only one.

So I don't get it.

Your entire family is under police protection

and Florence only had a cop at the door?

That had nothing to do with it.

How were we supposed to know that he kidnapped her from the Louvre?

If you weren't art disabled, you wouldn't need them.

And Florence would still be here!

? He sighs. ?

I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that.

Listen, Monsieur Chassagne. We need you, okay?

We only have this one lead. Those five words. OK?

Yes, fine, all right.

But has she been working on anything about the Paris Commune?

Maybe, she mentioned them multiple times.

"Check the mind", I always told her that.

She does it like me: pushes the books she needs

only back when she's done working.

"Courbet's correspondence". Mark helpful sites:

Yellow for context

and red for the quotes.

? Thoughtful music ?

- Ah, I see. - What?

Here, listen:

"I was robbed, ruined,

dragged through the streets of Paris,

defamed, heaped with insults."

"Heaped with insults.

I vegetated in the jail cell

my mind

and robbed you of your strength."

Do you know that Courbet saved my life in prison?

I felt his words were my own.

I read about him what I could find.

Without him I would have gone insane.

? Oppressive music ?

? Door slams shut. ?

(Courbet) I slept on the floor,

close to the mob, like vermin,

hauled from prison to prison.

With the rifle or the revolver at the throat.

The prison,

it destroys man.

(Pierre) This is a self-portrait.

- He was in prison? - Of course, because of the Vend�me column.

Okay, so he's speaking to us through Courbet.

He thinks he went through the same thing.

As the?

If the killer took this quote,

he was also in prison.

He just kidnapped your daughter so she wouldn't tell me.

He was afraid that this would lead us to him.

Police officers who have been in jail surely there aren't many.

And police officers who know Courbet like him, probably even less.

Surely a guy like him read books in prison.

Books about Courbet, from the library.

The prison library.

- Yes, hello. Am I there - a - t

Hello, I work at OCBC. I'd like to speak to someone,

who is responsible for the library.

No, you're going back to Toussaint. You're under police protection there.

She's in danger, not me. I don't need protection.

- And your family? - I sent two officers.

I'm definitely not sitting with my arms crossed.

I don't like it at all. He knows you react that way.

That's exactly what he wants.

Hey, if something happens to her I'll never forgive myself.

? Chassagne knocks. ? Yes?

I think we have something there.

What? - And that's the only prisoner,

from Courbet's biography borrowed?

Okay, his name please. J�r�me Kalanski.

(spelled) Kalanski, yes?

Thanks very much.

Jerome Kalanski...

He was with the OCBC until 2006.

- Shit, that's him. - I've only been around since 2009.

I don't know him. Why was he fired?

Negligent homicide of a gas station operator,

during a robbery.

He got 15 years, but was released three months ago.

He was a group leader here.

He found the Picasso stolen from the Pompidou.

Impeccable record.

I don't understand. How does a cop become like him

- involved in a robbery? - Someone here remembers.

The workforce has since been replaced.

Gerard Duguet replaced him. He is now retired.

And you came for him.

What?

Does that mean I'm in Kalanski's old post?

(Greg) folks. I have an address

Just go ahead.

Captain Verlay is a fraud.

And you're also playing in this masquerade.

Why do you hate him so much?

? Oppressive sounds ?

I only made one mistake.

And everyone turned their backs on me.

? Exciting string sounds ?

He, on the other hand, has his...

his family.

His work with an art historian,

which covers his shameful ignorance.

OK, secured.

? Can rattles. ?

? Music swells. ?

Police!

? Cat meows. ?

Oh, stupid shit!

"If only I could remember the sun."

Commander?

He uses it once to avoid being tracked.

- Pack them all up, okay? - Alex? Look at this.

- Think that's his ex? - Was lucky.

Florence was right, he was not just because of Courbet in Chaumont.

Was he spied on his ex-wife?

I guess he can't forget her.

She lives the life he will never have.

- ? Cell phone vibrates. ? - Yes, Ms. Prosecutor?

Right now?

- Okay, of course. Yes, see you soon. - What's up?

She's got something about Kalanski and wants to see us. Come on.

Okay. And Greg, find out if that woman is.

My predecessor didn't want to tell anything about Kalanski.

Tricky, I had to pull it out of his nose.

- And? - He must have had financial problems.

Yes, we thought so.

Giraud denied him a lower rate.

Then he was released.

Prior to the robbery, he tried to help himself to the OCBC.

He stole something? - No.

An art dealer should steal a statuette and sell it.

- Henri Courcelles? - Mmm.

Only, Courcelles was arrested shortly after on a different matter.

And to save himself, did he hang Kalanski?

He had it on tape.

His manager forced him to resign

officially for private reasons. The prosecutor turned a blind eye.

That's why it's not in his file.

And the statuette? - There wasn't time for that.

Maybe he didn't want to steal them.

He was one of their best and they didn't give him a chance?

His boss didn't want to take the risk.

And the colleagues all turned away.

When my fuse blew don't kick me out.

- That's different. - Yeah, okay.

But it looks to him like double standards.

? Depressed music ?

Bonjour. - Yes?

Bonjour. - Bonjour.

Lieutenant Blanqui, CID. Do you know J�r�me Kalanski?

Yes, this is my ex-boyfriend.

OK, do you have a minute?

No, that's impossible that can't be him.

Are you sure? - Yes, sure.

But J�r�me is honest and decent.

When it became clear that we neither could have children,

he asked me to go.

That not many men would do.

Looks like he was in debt. - Debt?

When you were together

have you lived beyond your means, haven't you?

I, I don't know. He gave me a lot, but...

We tried to distract ourselves not to lose heart.

He said everything will be fine.

Then he tried to steal an artwork from the OCBC.

He was fired and robbed a gas station.

Please think carefully, Madame Viala.

Is there a secluded place that he knows well

where to lock someone up

Ah...

? dark music ?

Commander, please.

And?

I think there's no point if you stay here.

You'd better go home, we'll call you.

What should I do at home? ? Cell phone vibrates. ?

Yes Greg?

So she has no idea where he might be?

Yes, then just take her testimony.

Thanks.

You don't even have a lead?

He will kill her.

- We do what we can. Ok? Antoine?

We checked Kalanski's phones and might have something.

Wait here, yes?

? Depressed music ?

He called you with those two. He was always using a jammer.

That's why Greg couldn't locate him.

He didn't use one on the other phones.

- Did it work? - Yeah look.

His ten most recent locations. All vacant buildings.

He was looking for a hiding place. And should we send people there?

- I'm calling for backup. - All right.

? Exciting music ?

? siren ?

Let's go.

- And what do I do? - You go home. We'll call.

- ? Cell phone vibrates. ? - Hello?

(Kalanski) "Hello, Captain."

"How does it feel to be all alone?"

- I want to talk to her. - You're attached to her, huh?

- The two of us keep playing. - "Out of the question."

"You let me talk to her, understood?"

You have 30 minutes to go to the Louvre.

"To the Cour Marly. Alone."

I will call again.

What do you want in the Louvre?

- I don't like it either. - You're with me.

- Excuse me? - I'm going to need a guide.

And you are. Let's go.

? Exciting music ?

You hold the fort. - Of course.

His phone was located here six days ago.

We'll go in first and search each floor.

We'll follow you. - Three this way, the others with me.

Come on. Hurry!

? Dramatic music ? (pardo) There, go.

(several) police!

Here is nothing.

- Go now. Fast. - Yes, yes, yes.

(several) police!

(several) Secured.

Crap. OK, let's continue!

? Music fades out slowly. ?

30 minutes is almost up. Where is he?

- Monsieur Verlay? This is for you. - This is me.

OK. Thanks. Wait, stop.

Did he pay you to give me this?

- How did you know? - It's okay, forget it.

? Mobile ?

Hello?

(Kalanski) "Are you alone?"

Uh yeah Yes / Yes.

I'll give you a riddle now.

You need to find out which work it is.

"Let's see how you manage on your own."

What if I don't want to?

Then I kill her.

"First the riddle."

"I am the work of a king of Babylon,

symbolize authority and justice."

There's another phone. If you don't answer it, she's dead.

Wait...

Well, a king of Babylon.

Yes, I don't know. Assyriology is not my field.

Okay, he said "Justice and Authority".

What does that mean? He means the judiciary, doesn't he?

Justice... wait.

The Code of Hammurabi. hall 3

- Room 3. Where is it? - That way.

- It's a black stele. - Okay!

? Driving music ?

- Come on! - Yes, that's fine.

Without your weakness for art we wouldn't be here.

Has here anybody got a phone for me?

? Mobile ?

Thanks. Thanks.

The Code of Hammurabi.

(Kalanski) "Oh, very good, very good. You're fine with the internet."

"Look at the stele."

"Do you see the god giving the ring and staff to the king?"

yes i see him

"These are the symbols of authority and justice."

"The Codex instituted the right of vengeance."

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Yes.

Is that your idea of justice? Hmm?

"Second riddle."

"Which work symbolizes at the same time resignation and melancholy

as well as rebellion and hope?"

"You have one minute."

I don't know. There are 35,000 exhibits here!

Okay, he said, "Resignation, Sadness, rebellion, hope".

That's four emotions. So maybe it's

four paintings? Or maybe four sculptures?

"The Four Prisoners" from Desjardins, Cour Puget.

- Okay, where is it? - This way.

? Driving music ?

Secured. - Nothing.

? Dial tone ?

I told you he can't be trusted.

? Music continues to swell. ?

? Resounding cell phone ringing ?

? Cell phone keeps ringing. ?

(hoarse) "The Four Prisoners".

- "Hello?" - Yes.

So what do you want now? Hm?

"Look they suffer in their chains."

Wait, what is this?

I already know that you were in prison for twelve years.

What does that have to do with it?

"After the rebellion comes the hour of justice."

- Damn, I don't understand a word. - "Give me that young man next to you."

- Give him to me or she's dead! - Yes, yes, yes! Ok, ok.

Hello? - Is he alone?

And?

- No, there are two of them. - Give me.

Listen, asshole. It's over, okay?

You cheated, Verlay.

You have cheated and you will suffer the consequences!

- Wait! - ? He hangs up. ?

Crap!

You're wrong about Courbet. You don't understand anything.

He lost everything, but he lived on.

He continued to paint.

Only to pay for the damage at the Vend�me Column.

But inside he was empty, like a walking dead.

And what about "Sunset on Lake Geneva"?

- What about it? Can someone who is empty inside do this?

Is this the work of a living dead?

? Music slowly swells. ?

"As long as I remember the sun".

That's what Courbet said when he was thrown into prison.

- He tricked us. He knew that we were coming here.

(desperate) Alex, he's going to kill her. He kills her.

"Calm down, we'll find him."

ok ok ok

We must be able to do something.

- Verlay! - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Um...

Elise. Elise.

What?

Yes, Greg. Yes, are you still with Elise Viala?

No, we just finished. Why?

"Take her back and give her to me. Hurry."

Madam Viala!

? He is breathing heavily. ?

Here.

My boss wants to speak to you.

Yes?

It was a pleasure chatting with you about art history.

But let's stop that now.

? He unlocks the phone and vibrates. ?

Elise? - "J�r�me."

"A policeman is with me."

Elise, this has nothing to do with you.

(gently) Let that woman go, J�r�me. She didn't do anything to you.

I have still thinking about you, you know?

"You said I would be your light."

"Your air to breathe."

"That you would only ever love me."

Jerome.

Do you love me Still?

"If you still love me, then let her go."

I can't. - "Please."

I can't.

"I know that you're a good person."

do it for me

"J�r�me, can you hear me? Tell me where you are."

Rue las Cases, 55.

? Door closes. ?

? Quiet voices, police radio ?

? soft music ?

(quietly) Is it okay?

Flo-Flo. Do not ever do that again.

I was so scared.

? Quiet strings ?

Are you sure that you're about to testify?

Yes. I'd rather get this over with.

- How are you? - It's fine.

I am exhausted.

Thanks very much.

Without you I wouldn't be here now.

No, your father is right, you know.

If I didn't have this art handicap,

that would never have happened.

Ah...

Did we finish therapy?

Because I won't let you down surely.

And? The wanted letter?

Is out at airports and train stations.

Tomorrow his face will be all over France.

- Marco? - (Greg) He'll be downstairs.

Do you think yes

(pardo) We need to reconstruct the time since the release.

He must have contacts where he can stay.

(Greg) Yes, sure. - Alright, let's go.

What is she doing...

hey

What is it? What is?

Damn Marco...

(Kalanski) Bonjour, Captain.

Put the gun down, now.

? Heavy sounds ?

Don't move, don't move.

Come on, put your hands over your head.

? Buzzer ?

(gasps) Oh shit.

- No, not! - ? Alert ?

I'll call you back.

- Antoine? - Don't touch Alex!

Kalanski wired the door.

If you touch her, we'll blow up.

Call the bomb disposal squad!

Here, take this and put it on. Move and you're dead, right?

When I found the Picasso,

the Department of Education paid the OCBC a nice bounty.

They could renovate it all.

That is nice.

Or?

Go now! sit down

what do you want to hear now

That the OCBC treated you badly?

Shall we restore your honor, huh?

To my honor it's too late, Capitaine.

That circus in the Louvre

the prisoners and that stupid codex,

that should just lure us away, right?

So you could craft your bomb here.

You're not as stupid as you look.

Where did you hide the trigger?

I'm afraid it's too late for the blaster.

The countdown is on already, huh?

How much time is left?

- How much time is left? How much? - We die together, Captain.

We die together

Search, search that trigger, anywhere!

? Angry scream ?

Alex, listen. Have the building evacuated.

The demolition expert will be right here.

No, there's no time for this! Get everyone out of here.

There's no time. Get away from the door!

- ? Discussions ? - Let's back.

Have you heard?

We evacuate. And go.

(official) Come on, come with me. You heard him.

Search, go.

You guys are a good team. I will miss you.

Shut up, dammit!

Fast. Come on!

No one inside. - Secure the neighborhood.

Forward!

? Driving music ?

You remind me of your father.

In the end you are alike.

Liar.

- Profits. - Shut the fuck up!

Quiet. Quiet, quiet, quiet!

- ?low ticking ? - What, what, what?

A picture clock.

- What is that supposed to be, a picture clock? - It dates from the 19th century.

A painting that combines mechanics and art.

Can you see the clock in the bell tower?

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, I see it. - Careful.

Yes, that's clear.

Damn it.

He attached it to the mechanism.

And how much time is left?

Tell us how to stop this.

You'll find that out yourself. You don't know anything about art,

but with explosives you'll be familiar.

Neither?

We need to pull out one of the two wires,

otherwise it goes up.

Your color book. He had the same.

They're not random. So, red or black?

I don't know about explosives.

- But with colors! I beg you, have faith in yourself.

The red or the black?

Black is the color of combustion, of coal, of smoke.

- So the black one? - No, no, no, wait!

Red is the color of anger love, violence, blood

and pride.

- What? - The red one.

This is his color this is pride. Go.

OK.

? Ticking stops. ?

? Antoine takes a deep breath. ?

(quietly) It's over.

That's it. phew

? He laughs maliciously. ?

? Calm sounds ?

You know, black is not just the color of a lawyer's robe.

Look, Courbet for example. He used a lot of black.

Now listen carefully: First came a dark background.

And after he wore in small brushstrokes

the other colors on - some green, some brown

down to bright white. Crazy, isn't it?

Only, that his father wasn't a lawyer.

Captain...

It will take more than an hour of therapy.

Good. Listen, all this...

- It's not for me. - How? There is nothing better.

No psychologist blah, it's concrete.

And this is what you need: something concrete.

Listen, Madame Chassagne: You were looking for something for me.

- Thank you for that. - I'd love to.

Art therapy, hypnosis, Sophro thingy and stuff...

It all comes down to the same my father. Yes?

And my father I just want to forget,

- don't think about him anymore. - Okay.

Tell me how to proceed then?

You can't work for the OCBC,

- with your art block. - But you're there, huh?

- Yes. - So.

- And you won't let me down? - No.

- Alright then. Or have you - c

But no.

There you are. therapy ended.

Well then bring your fist on.
