ARLES, DECEMBER 23, 1888.

MUSEE D'ORSAY, 130 YEARS LATER.

- Action, Julien! - This magnificent "Arl�sienne",

It was painted in Arles in November 1888, a few months

after Van Gogh's arrival in the small Proven�al town.

But the painter still did not know, that he would soon be a victim,

of one of the most famous dramas in the history of art.

He was below this room, in his study on the ground floor,

when Vincent cut off his ear.

But what really happened on the night of December 23-24, 1888?

Why did Van Gogh, before collapsing in his bed,

gave his severed ear to a girl in a notorious part of town?

To try to understand, our team has

meticulously reconstructed for you...

the interior of the painter's house,

with the help of the best historians.

I invite you to watch it with me now.

- So we go directly? - Yes, through the front door.

- And the Van Gogh doll? - The prop girl is on it.

- Daniel gave his approval to the set? - Yes, he came this morning.

Everyone ready for a rehearsal?

- The flowers are great, come on! - A little makeup.

That is important. Thank you.

When the commissioner entered the yellow house on the morning of December 24,

alerted by a local policeman, he found a worrisome disorder...

- Shall I go upstairs now? - Yes, go now.

Follow me and show the bloodstains on the wall.

Seeing all this blood, Inspector d'Ornano wondered...

what awaited him above.

Next to Vincent's room was that of Paul Gauguin, who

was initially thought to have killed his housemate.

The police, finding the body of the Dutchman lying on the bed,

unconscious on blood-soaked

sheets, he thought it was a murder.

Behind this door is the famous room.

And this is what our Commissioner found that morning.

Daniel!

Daniel...

THE ART OF CRIME - S04E01.

No, Hugo, he should be with me, not with that police girl.

That? Yes ok,

Appearances are one thing, but...

if he was really in love with her,

Why would he keep dreaming of kissing me?

Me!

Not at all.

He just forgot about dreams.

He forgot he wanted me, that's all.

- If you say so. - It's just a slight lapse in memory.

A temporary one.

I still don't know how, but...

he will get his memory back, believe me.

Captain, what did the doctor say about his memory loss?

He said I'm fine

- I can live with that. - Oh really?

It seems that he disappoints you. - Not at all.

But forgetting a week of your life...

- I knew it was here somewhere. - What's that?

- The catering menu for... - For?

For my wedding.

With who?

- With Juliette of course! - Yes of course.

You are the first to know.

- Congratulations. - I am going to marry...

- The Commander calls you. - I'm going now, Adele, thank you.

Are you okay, Miss Chassagne?

- I slipped. - Was he hurt?

No.

Watch out, Alex already broke his leg on his scooter.

That's enough, knock on wood. Here.

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

- Do you know Daniel Blanc? - The art historian?

Sure, I read his article on Van Gogh last month.

Because?

- Will we work with him? - No.

They beat him to death with a hammer.

They are waiting for you at the crime scene.

Have you been working with him for a long time?

He was my historical adviser.

He designed this house with the set designers.

He knew everything about Van Gogh, everything.

His wife said that she arrived at 8:00 am.

Was there anyone else here?

No, I was filming at the Mus�e d'Orsay.

He came here to check the set.

Did he mention any kind of threat?

- He argued with someone? - Not that I can think of.

He was so kind, so passionate...

We'll need a statement. Noah?

- Can you take care of that? - OK. This way please.

Are you okay, Miss Chassagne?

Everything's fine?

Yes, thanks.

The killer must have known that he would be alone, with no witnesses.

- Murdered where Van Gogh almost died. - Okay, and... what else?

They found him lying in a pool of blood, just like him.

Ok, go on...

That's a lot of coincidences, don't you think?

Is the killer trying to tell us something?

Something symbolic?

- Symbolic, yes. - Look at this...

I found something in Daniel Blanc's email.

Well great.

That's what I meant by your perception.

- It's dated yesterday, anonymous. - "Bastard son."

- What do you know about his parents? - Almost nothing. They are both dead.

It can be that.

- Can we trace the sender? - Clear.

- Get on it. - Mrs. Arnaud...

I am the producer, I have the right to know what is happening.

Mrs. Arnaud, Captain Verlay. I have some questions to ask you...

Me too. Is this crime related to my show?

Will it delay filming?

Listen, I'm very saddened by his death,

but neither my bank nor the insurers care.

I understand you, but I can't answer you now.

Incredible!

- Are you married? - Sorry?

- You are married? - Both of us? No.

Rent a room, find staff,

decoration, flowers, gifts, coordination... Have you done that?

- But.

Well, a TV session like this is much worse.

So if they're going to cancel it, I'd like to tell the in-laws,

- because they already paid for everything. - OK.

The forensic team will do their job,

and in 24 hours it should be fine, okay?

- Good thank you. - Adele?

Show us that email. Ms. Arnaud, do you have any idea...

Whose could have sent this to Daniel Blanc?

"Bastard son"?

No idea.

Ms. Chassagne, our art historian,

needs access to Daniel Blanc's research,

Yeah.

I'll take care of that.

Thank you, Mrs. Arnaud. You can tell the in-laws about... whatever.

- She's a little... - Yeah.

Still, if you ever get married, you'll understand.

Shall we go back to work?

I know you had a feeling about the symbolic.

She will leave you to your investigation. Go for it!

"Go for it..."

Why kill him in this room?

She really loved this yellow house.

You left her to go to the Saint-R�my asylum.

Nobody wanted me in Arles.

I lost my head.

I would cut off my ear.

But it was just a crisis.

We don't really know what it was.

It could have been a form of epilepsy.

He was here... getting better.

Painting my best works.

Her request made my crisis worse.

They took me out of my house.

He locked me up in that asylum.

Wait...

Wait...

That is...

It's obvious!

- What we have? - Thank you.

Six months ago, Daniel Blanc published an article...

explaining Van Gogh's internment in Saint-R�my.

A petition signed by 30 people who lived near him.

It was then that the mayor of Arles had him admitted.

At the end of the article, Blanc reveals that he descends...

of one of the signatories, the owner of the yellow house.

So he is the boy, and the bastard is his great-great-grandfather.

Who caused Van Gogh's confinement.

Van Gogh's neighbors cannot be blamed

for fearing someone who cuts off his ear.

No, they didn't take him out of the yellow house out of fear.

Daniel Blanc names 30 signatories, all friends of his ancestor.

He owned the yellow house...

and he wanted to replace Van Gogh with another tenant.

- That makes sense? - Yeah.

So they sent him to a nursing home for money.

Yes, and some say that if that had not happened...

he would never have killed himself a year after dating.

The famous room, symbol of paradise lost.

Van Gogh never returned to Arles.

So Daniel Blanc was murdered in that room...

to avenge the death of a dead painter, 130 years ago?

Exactly.

Ms. Chassagne thinks the

email has to do with the article.

Okay, check it out.

Let's start with the witnesses.

- Alright. I'll bring your coffee. - I will be here.

It's Juliette, I'll be right back.

Yeah?

I'll call them, don't worry. I just found it.

Alright. We will tell you that...

When my brother told me that he was getting

married, I felt that he was losing everything.

I thought he was driving me crazy.

I know. You cut off your ear that night.

I won't do that, if you don't mind.

I'll try something else instead.

Captain!

- Captain! - Yeah?

- Can he come with me? - Yes, if you want it that way.

Miss Chassagne, she is very kind, but why is she so interested...

What do you remember that week? I feel good without...

I know. But what if I said...

that you met the Queen of England and got naked.

You will want to know if it is true.

Of course. It would be very embarrassing.

Well, I'm going to stimulate,

your olfactory and visual memory.

Know what it is?

It's myrrh.

- What are you... - Trust me, she'll help you, okay?

You trust me, don't you? Come then.

- What I do...? - Just breathe gently.

Alright. Now she looks at the mummy.

She tries to look at him, fixedly.

There. You've seen this mummy before.

You even dreamed of it.

She was in the dream with you.

In a house that smelled of myrrh.

And it was fine.

And good?

I'm sorry... nothing.

Nothing?

- Nothing at all. - Captain?

- What's happening? - I spoke with Daniel Blanc's wife.

She said it was the petition article that started it.

Very good. Wait.

- How did she know? - The day she left,

Blanc started receiving strange calls, day and night.

Did you receive threats?

He does not know it. He didn't want her to worry...

- Can you investigate the calls? - Clear.

Do it. Thank you.

Good job.

Did he come back?

No, I mean the article.

The guy calling Blanc was the same guy who sent the email.

So... good job.

- Well, what is this? - Nothing.

It's just that you've never said that to me before.

- What's the matter? - Don't know. Not well?

- Yes. - Then make the most of it.

He doesn't remember wanting me...

and yet he is kinder to me than ever, he is adorable.

- What's happening to him? - Marriage changes a man.

He realizes that he has to be more attentive to others.

So it doesn't mean he loves me.

I do not know but...

Dreaming of you once does not mean that he is in love.

There is a difference, see?

- Yes. - Look at Van Gogh.

Th�o's wedding plans drove him crazy. And then...

he-tried to accept it. - Yeah.

She painted it for the birth of Th�o's son.

You're right.

I'll let him go. He was never in love with me.

It's all in my head.

Is he.

Hello? No, you're not bothering me.

Thanks for asking so kindly.

Yes, he is very kind of you.

Sorry?

Did you find the guy who sent the "bastard kid" email?

Good. I will be right there.

- No, Florence... - I know, I have to stop chasing him.

I'll start tomorrow.

Jonas Kieffer, 22, art student.

You are very active in the networks, aren't you?

World groups, anarchist groups, anti-capitalists...

You are also a big fan of Van Gogh.

And?

Vincent symbolizes the individual crushed by bourgeois conformism.

He was on the side of the workers.

So, was it capitalism that killed him?

He was punished for being different.

Because he didn't make money. He committed suicide because of the asylum.

So yes, the capitalists killed him.

OK.

Did you make this video?

THEY KILLED VAN GOGH

"They killed Van Gogh". A bit aggressive, isn't it?

Weren't they aggressive towards Van Gogh?

We are no longer sure that he committed suicide.

Why go back to your room having botched your suicide?

You had the strength to walk with a bullet in your chest...

but not shoot a second time?

He didn't want to die in the dung in the middle of nowhere.

The trajectory of the bullet was from top to bottom.

It's a strange position for a suicide.

I...

I do not remember anymore.

We know you spent time with some young people who...

they liked to handle weapons.

After leaving Saint-R�my, you stayed in Auvers-sur-Oise.

On July 27, 1890, they saw you leave the hostel.

After lunch, loading your painting materials.

You came home that night, injured and without your supplies.

Nobody knows what happened during those five hours.

"Nobody's to blame. I wanted to kill myself."

Those were your last words.

Because?

Were you afraid that young people would be blamed?

It would be ironic if Daniel Blanc died due to a historical error.

Was Daniel Blanc's article your inspiration?

And if it was?

This email, "Bastard boy."

Was it the capitalists or was it you who sent it to him...

to the 30 descendants of the petition?

- It was me. - I see.

I want to denounce the descendants of these murderers. Is that a crime?

No, but Daniel Blanc was murdered yesterday.

That?

- Wait... you don't think I killed him? - Don't know.

You harassed him on the phone. 18 calls over three days, even at 4:00 am.

- But no, I've never done that... - Yes, he did.

With a prepaid phone so as not to be tracked.

No, what nonsense!

Does this mean anything to you?

When Daniel Blanc's ancestor kicked him out of this room, he aggravated

Van Gogh's illness, and I think that's why you killed him on the spot.

What's happening?

- That? - Captain Mariton brought his children to you.

- Shit, I forgot. - He's waiting upstairs.

Good. Take charge.

Well, Goldilocks?

Sorry, I lost track of time.

- I'm getting used. - Are you OK?

When will you get home?

I have a big operative. I may be late.

When will you tell them that we are getting married?

Now? Yes... I need to think about what to say.

- I can't just drop it. - Antoine, I think you already know.

They realize things at that age.

I'll talk to them, I promise.

It's just that I tell them, "Daddy's getting married," it's not...

- And your turn, is it over? - Now I'm in an interrogation.

You may have an idea.

- Hello, Juliette. - Hello. I'm going now.

- See you tonight. - Yeah.

Are you okay, Miss Chassagne?

I'm sorry, dad, but I can't go.

I am babysitting. Hey!

No, I wasn't talking to you. I'll call you back dad.

- It's cultural! - Yes, I'm sure of that.

But culture can wait. Do you like riders? Look at this.

- Is it gold paint? - Yeah! The original is in the Louvre.

Do you like Van Eyck?

- He says it's a wedding. - Yes that's how it is.

This is a rich Flemish merchant, and this is his wife.

And she is getting married in a green dress.

She seems sad to get married, like dad.

What do you mean "like dad"?

Juliette is nice. But dad is not in love with her.

- Why do you say that? - When he goes to work,

he always forgets to kiss her.

And at home, she looks sad.

He thinks he's happy with Juliette, but it's not true.

Oh really?

- Ms. Chassagne? - Yeah?

- Do you have two seconds? - Yeah.

Are you okay kids?

Dad won't be long. Be good. Come on.

We checked Kieffer's alibi, it wasn't him.

Maybe he had an accomplice.

Like a sect of Van Gogh worshipers?

No, but the calls started after Blanc's article came out...

There has to be a connection.

Who didn't like it?

Maybe the other descendants?

Yes maybe.

Would you mind doing that?

- Sorry? - I'm alone with them tonight,

- And with the wedding and all that... - I understand.

No problem.

- Did they talk to you? - About?

- The wedding... - The wedding? Not at all.

It was very kind of you to sit with them,

and making you work alone tonight, so...

You are really great.

I'm great!

So he's especially nice to you?

Yes, with me.

And why did you tell me about your wedding?

I'm not your friend, I'm your colleague.

You've never seen us together, so you can't imagine, but...

When we're together, there's a... I don't know, it's...

It is not palpable, but it is strong.

Is there.

But he has forgotten that he wanted me, and now I don't know what happens.

It's like I'm afraid of losing you.

- Unconsciously, obviously. - Lose myself?

Marrying Juliette is a way of denying her desire for you,

- As if she couldn't leave you. - Of course!

It is totally logical!

- I was right all along... - But Miss Chassagne,

her hidden desire from her for you may not come back to him.

Especially if his desire for Juliette is stronger.

Juliette, whom he forgets to kiss before going to work!

Good. Now we agree...

- How do I stop the wedding? - Sorry?

Give me some advice...

otherwise I don't see what I'm doing here?

You're being analyzed by a psychoanalyst, Miss Chassagne.

I am not a guru or a homewrecker.

Yeah...

Of course.

Hello. Captain, I found something...

about Daniel Blanc, but I'll come back later.

No, precisely, we have something to ask you.

Me?

Yeah?

Do you prefer beef or chicken? Answer without thinking.

- Chicken. - No!

I'm sorry, but chicken is not a holiday.

On the contrary, chicken is perfect for a wedding!

- You take a thigh and you're going to talk. - It's very elegant.

I think my presence does not seem necessary.

- I'll be back later... - No, wait, it's my turn.

Do you prefer a sit-down meal or a buffet?

- This is the last question. - We never agree, it's crazy.

- Buffets. - Fine, I see.

I understand. They are in cahoots right?

- That? No... - Obviously yes.

Chicken buffet will be very good.

And you, well done. You almost got me.

- Oh really! But we didn't...

Bye bye.

We don't talk about that, right? I do not know anymore.

No.

Did you want to tell me about something about Daniel Blanc?

Yeah.

Look what I found.

Blanc for his article, he had to identify the petitioners,

so he had to compare the 30 petition signatures,

with all those in the Arles registry over 50 years of age.

I checked, there are thousands of files, months of work.

- And then? - I couldn't have done it alone.

Someone must have helped him, except the

article about him doesn't mention an assistant.

He does not thank anyone, as if he did it alone.

Did Daniel Blanc steal someone's research to publish his article?

Exactly.

- And you would kill a man for that? - No, not me, as you know.

Although if someone steals months of research from me,

It would possibly give him a hard time.

It's worth checking out. Good job, Miss Chassagne. Bravo.

- Thank you. - Answer, he is your father.

- Dad? - Florence, you will never believe me.

That?

Did you meet a TV presenter, Julien Qui... something?

Yes, Quignard, he is a witness in a murder case.

He said that he saw you and had the idea to call me.

Well and for what?

To replace the historian with whom he worked.

And did you accept?

- Do you think I'm not up to it? - No.

Van Gogh is your thing, but television...

As a historian,

I'd rather teach than chase ghosts with a dumb cop.

I take back what I said. You're going to be great.

I will not be alone.

The technicians have painstakingly reconstructed the yellow house.

How do you know?

Because I'm standing here. I have to go do my makeup.

- We're rehearsing. - To put on your makeup?

Can you bring me back the Daniel Blanc investigation?

I'll need it for Van Gogh's death in Auvers-sur-Oise.

I'm sorry, but I don't have anything on that.

But that is impossible. It's not here, so they must have it.

- As I said, I have nothing... - Flo flo, I have to leave you,

Mr. Quignard is waiting. I told him you'd love to help us.

- See you later. - Dad...

He hung up on me!

Florence, about time.

- Hi, are you okay? - Yes, thanks.

This is all the producer gave us.

There is nothing about Van Gogh's death.

So you've lost it.

- My daughter is distracted. - And my father is very nice.

Would you have another box elsewhere?

He didn't tell me. We were supposed to meet today...

to discuss the second part of the program.

In five minutes, Mr. Chassagne.

I'm on my way, dear. Did my organic cookies arrive?

- Yes, they are here. - Your organic cookies!

- Do you have everything you need, Madonna? - Julien, it's your turn.

Ok, I'm off to the stage. See you soon.

I'm just trying to be professional.

I get it, that's normal.

Be helpful and find that research.

Yes sir!

I've been through Daniel Blanc's emails.

Her name is Christelle Scotto.

She contacted him six months ago, on December 2.

She tells him that she has identified all 30 petitioners.

She then sends him her results and asks Blanc to help her publish them.

He replies that he will see what he can do.

A month later, she asks him again, with no answer.

Two months later, same thing. No answer yet.

And a month later the article appeared,

And the anonymous calls began.

Daniel stole Scotto's work and wiped her off the map.

Do you have an address?

Today is my day off.

2 and a half hours less to travel, it's like a vacation.

- Please go ahead. - Thank you.

It's funny that you mention Daniel.

He was telling Jacques that we would see him on TV soon.

Is he in trouble?

No, I'm just looking for information for now.

I haven't seen Daniel in at least 10 years.

We used to see each other when we were students.

He continued, but I didn't follow shortly after.

And then I met Jacques, so...

our ways parted, as they say.

- You like Van Gogh a lot. - Yeah.

That's all old stuff, from when he was trying to get a degree.

But exams are not my thing. It always made me nervous.

But, I could never part with him.

I understand.

Are you still researching art history just for fun?

- What investigation? - My wife is just a cashier.

Do you think he has time for art?

Do you recognize this?

It's a Daniel article, right?

You helped him write it, didn't you?

No, I did not do it.

I have some emails you sent him about it.

- What is all this? - His wife spent months on this,

and Daniel Blanc stole it to show off on television.

That must have bothered you right?

The phone used to harass you was purchased at the end of this street.

Good...

Look, forget that.

I made the calls to that bastard.

Christelle had just been stolen by him.

It is she who should have been on TV.

OK.

I guess you went to tell him to his face?

Something like man to man?

What do you mean?

Daniel Blanc was assassinated two days ago.

I did not do it. I swear I didn't.

These two self-portraits were painted by Van Gogh...

Two or three weeks after cutting the ear.

He is shown as he is, weakened, with his ear bandaged.

A superb introspective work, as if he were wondering,

about the nature of the acute crisis that struck him.

No. he was thinking. I'm sorry, but it's not right.

- We can't do it like this. - Cut!

To talk about Van Gogh's understanding of his

illness, we have to start from still life.

Still life?

Let's go to the workshop.

Go ahead, follow it.

- I can do it? - No, I'll do it, thanks.

- Your father is a bit... - Intrusive?

- Yes a little.

- You could tell him. - You'll see, you never get used to it.

You could try a little.

- I will say it, it will be better. - If I'm here, don't you mind?

Not well.

- I can start? - We're shooting.

Everything is here.

Vincent is doing everything he can to understand his illness.

He paints a health yearbook: onions for insomnia,

an empty bottle indicating that he no longer drinks.

He wants to show that the flame of his life is still burning.

But above all, there is this letter from his brother Th�o,

that Vincent received the day his crisis began.

And what did he contain?

Th�o's wedding announcement.

For Vincent, it was a cataclysm.

His dream of joining the artistic brotherhood in Arles...

he was entirely dependent on Th�o's financial support.

With this marriage and the arrival of a family,

Th�o could still support his brother?

Was he abandoning Vincent?

With this painting.

Vincent looks for the reasons for his illness.

But mostly he was looking for...

accept the disappearance of his dream...

destroyed by this marriage.

What do you think about that?

Was not good? Did I overdo it?

Honestly?

You were nice.

For the second part...

Quignard wants me to talk about that stupid theory,

that Van Gogh did not commit suicide.

Idiot? Because stupid?

Florence...

the suicide thesis has been confirmed

for a long time, by all serious historians.

There is nothing to be based on, for a TV show.

- I admit there are inconsistencies. - Let's not start that again.

- They even found the gun. - Exactly, let's talk about that.

We know that Van Gogh never touched a gun in his life...

but to the guy who, 60 years later, said that he was making fun of Van Gogh...

he liked them

That is grotesque. Just give me what you found.

Dad, there's nothing in Auvers-sur-Oise, nothing.

Are you sure there's nothing here?

No, except for this. This ridiculous photo...

Well done.

What's that?

This?

It's a USB drive hidden behind the photo.

"Auvers-sur-Oise".

There is a password.

Where are you going? Wait!

My dear father, thank you very much.

Daniel Blanc hid this file and was assassinated two days later.

Do you think it's a coincidence?

How many more times do I say it? It wasn't us, okay?

We think you have your investigation into Van Gogh's death.

Is this the research he stole from you?

I never did any research on Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise, only in Arles!

I spent months looking up those names on the petition.

When would I have time to do other research?

And good?

Behind the checkout at my supermarket?

Or crammed into a commuter train?

Excuse me.

Daniel created a password with a phrase to remember it.

"It hurts like hell."

Any ideas?

Do you know what hurts like hell?

Spend five hours in a chair...

hungry for something we didn't do!

The Prosecutor says to accuse them of the calls but not of the murder.

He wants them released, and let's keep looking.

It is essential to open this file.

Ad�le couldn't do it, so we'll send it to YOU.

I'll keep looking, okay?

I can't let you keep working alone in your office.

Why not?

Did you know? Juliette can stay with the children tonight.

I have dinner with them and then I'll pass.

We can have a drink while we work.

We never do.

What do you think? Is it okay?

Alright.

Hello Captain.

This? Oh, it's nothing. Would you like to sit?

Maybe on the sofa... No, that's not good.

Hello! No...

VERY SORRY. JULIETTE HAS TO GO TO WORK.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

How rude!

The marriage of others hurts.

No, it doesn't hurt

it hurts a lot.

Very much.

"Wedding"...

Alcohol didn't do you any good.

"Absinthe."

Obviously not.

The problem is that, with the life she had,

there were many things that hurt me.

"Ear."

It has to be this. "Stir."

It will drive me crazy.

"Asylum."

No.

Nobody treats me like this.

- Hello? - Maxime?

- Oh, Florence! - I'm sorry but I...

I'm trying to reach your dad.

Dad already went to work.

Juliette has just left for the museum to work.

Juliette doesn't work at the museum.

She has a meeting at the Mus�e d'Orsay.

- Why is she going there? - I do not know.

I'll call you back Maxime.

Yeah...

Just a second. One second!

One second! Ok, you can come in now.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Is it a bad time? - No.

Not at all.

These are for you.

- Thank you for the flowers. - They're an apology.

It took me a long time to put the children to bed.

Don't worry about that.

Alright.

Are you sure?

Yeah...

I am used to working alone.

Aren't you supposed to be in IT?

Yes. Are you coming with me?

I just have to finish something and I'll let you know.

I leave it here.

- Captain! - Yeah?

That?

Is Juliette going to the Mus�e d'Orsay?

No, she's in surgery. Why would she go to the Mus�e d'Orsay?

No, I must have been confused.

She is fine.

Put them in a vase with a little water, the lady told me.

I'm sorry.

- Have you never come? - No.

That's amazing.

I'm on a mission. Do not say anything.

I'm sorry.

Damn!

- Hello? - Ms. Chassagne?

Yeah?

I hear you very bad.

- Are you OK? - I'm on a mission.

It will take IT two days to crack the password.

- Hello? Are you there? - OK.

Is something wrong there?

It's just that...

The reception is bad.

What are you doing here?

Hi darling.

I need to use the intranet of the national museums.

Anyway, you're stuck in the OCBC.

Please make yourself at home.

At the reception they told me:

"At least we see you every day, unlike your daughter."

Dad...

I know you won't listen to me. Captain Verlay is exploiting you.

And with what he pays you, he's pathetic.

It's like being a whore for a penny.

"Prostitute"?

Just call me whore...

Okay, that's an exaggeration, but...

Prostitute!

Why didn't I think of it before?

What is the name of the girl that Van Gogh was going to see in the brothel?

- The young woman who did housework? - Yeah.

Gabrielle, I think. Van Gogh was sweet to her.

She was badly bitten by a dog.

She was the one in pain.

- What are you talking about...? - Wait.

HINT: A LOT OF PAIN. GABRIELLE

That is!

It is the investigation that Daniel Blanc did on the death of Van Gogh.

No need, I redid all the work.

Two seconds.

She scanned a letter from Van Gogh written...

on July 27, 1890.

That's impossible. His last card was 24.

What is this? Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Daniel Blanc found an unknown letter.

He asks Th�o for forgiveness. He is going to end his life.

It's Van Gogh's last letter and he apologizes for wanting to commit suicide!

It's like a testament!

Yes it is genuine, it is an amazing discovery!

He will silence all those charlatans who deny his suicide!

- Indeed! - Indeed!

I'm sorry, but I need this.

What about me?

What I am going to do?

A letter like this, with a drawing, is worth at least 500,000 euros.

That is the motive for the murder.

You mean the killer wanted the letter?

- Did Daniel Blanc have it on him? - Makes sense, doesn't it?

Daniel Blanc finds the letter in Quignard's program investigation.

But before making it public, he wants to prove its authenticity,

- so keep it. - And the killer knew it.

- But how did you find the letter? - Isn't it in his USB?

No. But to authenticate it he must have gone to Auvers-sur-Oise.

Because?

Van Gogh writes to Th�o, who before committing

suicide made a donation with the money he has left.

- A donation? Whom? - To the church of Auvers-sur-Oise.

Daniel must have gone there to check the donation record.

It's a good start.

If we go there, we might find out how the killer knew.

It's OK, go ahead.

Juliette, it's me. I can't contact you.

Call me when you have five minutes.

Ms. Chassagne? Sorry for taking you out of your thoughts...

but we have work to do.

No Yes. I'm sorry.

Let's go?

Look, it's exactly the same.

It is the same church.

Yes, it's similar. He did not paint the clock hands.

It is the symbol of time that stops...

the night above, the day below, as if everything were mixed up,

Like when you don't know where you are...

- TRUE. - What you should do.

It's Juliette, sorry. Finally!

Did you try to call me?

Sure, and several times since this morning. What are you doing?

Antoine, with this operation, I can't answer easily.

What did you want to say to me?

That I told the children that we got married.

Ooh...

So are they happy, did they take it well?

They were already suspicious, but they took it well, yes.

It will be a great wedding.

It will be, but I have to go. See you tonight.

- I love you. - I love you too...

Unbelievable, she hung up on herself.

Why are you looking at me like that?

No reason.

What are you doing here?

And you? What are you doing here?

Did you think I wouldn't try to verify the authenticity of that letter?

- I'm going to see the priest. - Dad, it's a police investigation!

Do you put the police before a historical discovery?

Because the discovery, of that discovery led to a murder!

Van Gogh gives millions of people a reason to live.

Forgive me, but I don't understand your reasoning.

Would you like to see the files, or am I going alone?

Good morning. follow me

We apologize for bothering you.

- That's him. - I remember it well.

- He said he was a historian. - Are alone.

- Dad, really... - Stop it.

He is the one who starts.

When was he here?

Last week, to consult the archives.

Ready. Here we are.

- But what?

- The door. - What's up with that?

This morning it was closed.

Since when do you not come to a file room?

Both of you please shut up!

I said nothing.

We can't even say what we think of our daughter anymore.

Stay here.

- Dad, are you okay? - Yeah.

- What happened? - He pushed me and went down there.

- Down there? - Yeah.

Shit!

You saw it?

No.

He must have dropped this, do you recognize him?

Yes of course.

"I know you will always be there for me."

"Your brother who loves you. R.Q."

With this marriage... and the arrival of a family,

Th�o could still support his brother?

Was he abandoning Vincent?

He could be Quignard.

We have to check if he has a brother who depends on him.

- Because? - Believe me.

The son of a bitch...

Florence, I found it.

Look. July 27, 1890, 50 francs donated...

- by Vincent Van Gogh. - It's the day he tried to commit suicide.

He died two days later.

It is an amazing discovery. We have to find that letter.

I have to authenticate this.

That is not the priority.

We are after the last letter of Van Gogh,

And you still don't accept that he committed suicide?

- It's ridiculous, dad. - Ms. Chassagne?

- Yeah? - Come with me, it's urgent.

Can you take this to Hugo in the lab?

- Please! Thank you. - Come on.

- Be carefull with that. - Alright!

You were right, it was Quignard.

His phone was traced here 15 minutes ago.

I can't believe Quignard killed Daniel Blanc for money.

That letter is more personal to him.

- You have a brother, don't you? - Yes, in a home for autistic people.

Hello?

Okay, we're on our way.

I'm sure he came here because of his brother.

We are about to find out. The police traced his phone.

Get out of the car.

What's going on?

- We put him in a room. - And his brother?

He's there, on his way to art therapy.

I'm going to finish this today.

Self-portrait with palette, Saint-R�my, September 1889.

If you like. Shall we continue, Rapha�l?

- With palette. - Yeah.

1889.

I'm going to see it.

Is it there?

Thank you.

Captain, I had nothing to do with Daniel's murder.

Can you leave us? Thank you.

- Do you have Van Gogh's letter? - No.

Oh no?

However, did you go to the church in Auvers to check it out?

Pierre Chassagne informed me of its existence this morning.

Why did you run away like this? You run super fast, by the way.

I... I panicked.

- I thought you'd never believe me. - Believe?

I did it for my brother. Rapha�l could die for that letter.

What do you mean die?

The suicide rate is double in autistic people.

Rapha�l has already tried twice.

Here they try to protect him from himself.

Let me go!

The only thing that keeps him clinging to life is Van Gogh and his paintings.

Do you only paint Van Gogh's paintings?

Yes. Always Van Gogh.

But mine are not as good as the real ones.

Alright. It really is good.

He painted this one right after a meltdown.

Yes. He tried to eat the tubes of paint from him.

He was sick.

Like me.

He's in your head, he never goes away.

It can be seen that it is not right.

Yeah.

And at the same time, he is quite upright.

He holds his brushes well.

That's what you like?

Yeah.

- Hello. - Hello.

The painting...

Vincent was brave with his illness.

He healed himself with the paint.

Yeah.

The paint made him strong again.

It's as if he... mastered the disease.

He was brave.

Before he died, he bought a lot of paint.

Is it important to you that he didn't commit suicide?

He did not commit suicide.

He wanted to continue painting.

Yeah.

He was brave.

When Rapha�l found out that Van Gogh might

not have committed suicide, he gave him hope.

But with that letter.

You are afraid that he will do the same.

Please let me tell you first.

When that letter comes out, the media will be all over it.

I don't want him to find out that way.

Put me in jail if you want,

but let me talk to him first.

It's me, Raphael.

- You're happy to see me. - Yes and you?

I think so.

- But I don't like surprises. - I know.

I didn't come until Saturday, but I have something important to tell you.

I don't like surprises, I told you. I do not like surprises.

- It's about Vincent. - Vincent?

Yeah! Do you want to see my new paintings?

Rapha�l...

"The starry Night"

He painted it in 1889 in Saint-R�my. It's the view from his room.

- Rapha�l, listen... - Look at this.

"The Lilies".

I tell you that Van Gogh committed suicide!

And first of all, you don't know anything.

You didn't even know how to marry my daughter.

- Pierre... - You are ignorant.

50 francs!

Exactly the amount that Th�o sent to his brother.

Van Gogh donated everything he had before committing suicide.

Pierre, how do you explain to me, that whoever wrote this page...

Was it written in a different ink, from before and after?

- Has no sense. - Sorry?

I checked it three times.

Hello? Yes Dad.

It's false?

Van Gogh's letter is also fake, then?

I will call you later.

And this one I finished yesterday.

Listen to me, Raphael.

- What do you think? - Listen to me. I'm trying to tell you...

I have to talk to him now. I'll explain it to you later, okay?

Van Gogh wrote one last letter where...

- The letter. - I do not like surprises!

Van Gogh did not write it. It is false.

I do not like surprises.

- I told you, I don't like surprises. - I know. Don't worry, Raphael.

No more surprises. He was wrong.

No more surprises. You were wrong.

This is "The Summer".

He painted it in 1888. Look at the sky.

It is green and the fields are purple.

But the sun is still orange...

Yes, thanks for calling back. Were you able to freeze the image?

If that is. A couple kissing.

10:00 to 10:15 am will be fine. Oh no. No, it's confidential.

It's for Commander Pardo of the OCBC. I am his assistant.

I'm on the computer. Do it quickly, please.

Wait... I think I've got it.

It's wonderful, thank you very much sir.

Thank you so much.

Juliette, I never expected that from you.

An anonymous note and...

I'm sorry, but I'm about to destroy your wedding.

- What are you doing? - Trying to fix the printer.

- It doesn't want to work. - If you want, I have it, give it to me.

Yeah?

- I'll give it back. - Yes, here it is.

- Well give it to me. - Take it.

I'll help you leave her.

I'm sorry, but I can see what...

- Yes. - She's a bit temperamental.

It's a paper jam.

And there it is.

Have.

You come? Brown awaits us.

It is common practice to pass off records as genuine.

They falsify the corresponding records.

They make fake receipts for old paintings,

and add pages to old catalogues.

The story of the donation of 50 francs gave credibility and was very intelligent.

The illusion was perfect.

If Daniel Blanc discovered the forgery, it was game over.

He was killed to keep him quiet.

Have they identified the victim of the scam?

No not yet.

- Quignard is a good suspect, isn't he? - No, it wasn't him.

Ad�le is going through all the contacts of Daniel Blanc, and the

collectors who could do something like that, but she takes time.

- Excuse me. - Yeah?

We have to go back to Auvers-sur-Oise.

- Because? - The forger must have used...

Van Gogh era paper to make it more authentic.

- And why Auberge Ravoux? - Van Gogh rented his room there.

Now it is a museum-restaurant.

The forger must have taken his paper out of there.

Free Quignard and go back there.

Come on.

- Good morning ma'am. - Good morning.

Police.

Captain Verlay.

We are looking for the block that was used to write this letter.

A man was here five days ago asking the same question.

A man? Daniel White?

- Is he? - Yes it's him.

- Where is that block? - For that you will need to see the boss.

He keeps all those things. He'll be here in 20 minutes.

Thank you. Fine, we wait.

We may never know if he really committed suicide.

Is the reason I died so important?

Dying was to your advantage.

You thought you were a burden to your brother.

He paid for everything for you.

Your painting supplies, your medical bills.

You felt guilty.

He seemed so happy with his family.

Happiness was for Th�o, not for me.

Your death plunged him into despair.

He died six months after you.

- Ms. Chassagne? - Yeah?

- He is here. - Who?

Like who? Manager!

- The man we came to see. - Oh yes, the manager.

- Have you been robbed recently? - Yes, six weeks ago.

- Is that about it? - Yeah.

It seemed strange to me. Because they didn't take anything.

Missing page 15, you see.

Do you remember anything in particular about him?

Yeah.

He was very agitated. He was looking for someone.

A woman, in her fifties, brown hair.

He asked me if he had seen her here.

Thank you.

He remembered her well. We had talked about Van Gogh.

She knew more about him than I did.

Christelle Scotto.

- It's her? - Yes, she is.

- Is she here? - Yeah.

- Wait for me here? - Yes of course.

- Is your wife? - No, she left.

- Can I check? - I already told you, she left!

Yes, sure.

Hey!

- She is not here! - Where is she?

Don't know!

When I came back from the races, she was gone.

Shit.

I found this when I got back. He left me a letter.

Yes you want to read it.

"I'm going on a trip. I'll explain it to you when you get there."

Tell me what the hell is going on.

- How long have you been home? - An hour ago, tops.

It is possible that she has not yet sold the letter.

Yeah?

Alex, how is Ad�le doing with the list of potential buyers?

We are on it now. No one has contacted Christelle Scotto.

Boss, look.

Christelle Scotto contacted Isabelle

Arnaud, the producer, yesterday at 8:13 p.m.

She is the target. She wanted Daniel Blanc to authenticate the letter.

She wanted to prove to herself that she was smarter than him,

and that she would fall into the trap.

Alex, if Scotto sells the letter, she's dead.

Trace Arnaud's phone, she's in the TV studios.

- In the TV studios. - Alright.

Wait Julien, are you telling me that we found a letter

that Van Gogh would have written the day he died?

What do you mean by a fake?

Wait, did the police see that letter?

No, I'm alone here.

Yeah.

Alright. Yeah.

See you tomorrow, Julien. Shit.

- Mrs. Arnaud? - Yeah?

Good night. I went to the phone last night.

Is there a problem?

Are you the one who killed Daniel?

Daniel was not a good person.

He was an impostor.

A thief. You should forget about it. I have the letter.

It is an amazing document.

You killed him

Look, with this, you will be able to sell your program all over the world,

and solve all your financial problems.

This letter is the best investment of your life.

Let go. That letter is fake.

You killed Daniel so he wouldn't tell the truth.

Enough! Give me that.

Give me that!

What are you thinking? What are they going to fuck with me again?

This money, I deserve it.

I am the Van Gogh expert!

I'm the one who should be on TV!

Give me that!

Daniel stole my life, but that's over now.

No one is going to use me anymore.

Get out of the car now.

Get out of the car! Come on.

Sorry, but there is a small program change.

I'm sorry, Captain. But it's for your own good.

Yes, go ahead.

Good evening Florence.

Good night.

- Do you have a minute? - Yeah.

I know you saw me at the Mus�e d'Orsay.

I haven't said anything.

- Yes, that's what... - It's not what you think.

What is it then?

I was on an undercover mission.

The guy you saw was him.

Samuel Litti.

Suspected of insider trading for millions of euros.

And kissing him was part of the mission?

No, I didn't want to ruin the operation by letting him show me around the museum.

I let him flirt with me, that's all. Nothing else.

We'll catch him in two days.

You don't have to tell me that.

I know.

I should have talked to Antoine about it, but it's already

complicated, with the upcoming marriage, his children...

I didn't want to add anything else.

I really love him, you know.

But you're right. It's better that you know.

I am going to tell him.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Th�o Van Gogh was originally buried in Utrecht.

But years later, his widow, Joanna, moved his body...

to Auvers-sur-Oise, together with his brother's to reunite them for eternity.

What happened on July 27, 1890 with that revolver?

We may never know, but it's important to remember...

that Van Gogh's life was driven by the insatiable desire to paint.

For him, the painting represented the hope of regaining his health.

Judging by one of his last paintings, Van Gogh was at the zenith of his art,

and his death no doubt deprived us of many great masterpieces.

A strong hug.

Was it his brother?

Yeah.

You just saw a first cut of what we filmed.

And did he like it?

A lot...

thanks for the help he gave us.

- You are welcome. - His biscuits, Mr. Chassagne.

Thank you. Have you thought about my mug with my photo?

I think they are taking care of it.

I will miss the life of the artist.

"DATE ??OF THE WEDDING, APRIL 25".

Oh, Flo-Flo!
