Pain.

Maxime?

How are you?

No, it's not. No, it's that nightmare again.

I'm going to lose my mind!

We can't go on like this.

I can't go on like this. - I'm sorry, I know.

- I'm so sorry, But I'll figure it out. - Yeah, I will.

Hi, there.

How are you? - Yes, I'm fine.

We haven't talked about what happened, it would be nice

Let's do it.

Maybe if we haven't, it's because everything's fine.

It's still a traumatic experience.

You're overreacting.

- I'm telling you it's all right. - I'm telling you, everything's fine.

Astrid, are you okay?

- Good afternoon. Yes! - Hello, Astrid.

- Hi, there. - Why is he gesticulating like that?

The commissioner?

Do you understand anything what they're saying?

Coste?

I'm so sorry.

- I'd prefer to keep it private. - But Astrid...

See you soon.

Meet Maxime Rivière.

- Hello. - He's a very close friend.

Hello, Mr. Rivière.

Maxime has...

Saw a murder.

Where and when?

He didn't really see it with his own eyes.

The eyes are the only organ that allow us to see.

It's only possible to see with your own eyes.

He saw it in a dream.

You're asking me to investigate a dream?

Yes, but Maxime has this dream

Every night. Just listen to it.

He may have witnessed

of a homicide without understanding

what he saw. - Okay, Astrid, take note. We're listening.

Thank you for your time. This may sound crazy

but it's insanely precise.

I see a Buddhist monk,

with the burgundy dress, shaved head,

And he has a large scar on his cheek.

A spot of blood appears on the side and gets bigger.

I see him on his knees. She laughs.

This murder has already taken place.

I'm familiar with the case. It took place

May 20, 1996. - When do you say?

May 20, 1996.

It's my date of birth.

That's him, the monk from my dream.

Lama Norbu was a Tibetan monk,

Exiled in France since October 19, 1994.

He lived in a monastery

in the Paris region.

He was found died May 20, 1996 at 6:23 a.m,

In the forest around the monastery.

Drug addicts lived there.

There were worries.

Exactly. One individual, died of an overdose,

Was found near his body.

This individual was carrying belongings of the victim.

Having already been convicted, the investigators concluded

that he was the culprit

of this murder. - According to the autopsy, the victim

Was first wounded with a spike.

Yes, a bevelled tip,

but that's not what killed her. The victim died

as a result of a concussion,

Caused by repeated blows.

I also see a sun

and an old green wheel,

like on old wooden wooden boats.

You didn't tell me about it.

You say it's green?

Yes.

OK, come with me.

Where are we going?

To the monastery. We need to check something.

Thank you.

Tell me, Astrid.

Raphaëlle spoke to you, lately?

We talked in the car on the way here.

What I mean is, she confided in you?

About what?

About us...

About the baby we lost.

We haven't talked about it since she told me.

Even at your Monday dinner?

Raphaëlle cancelled it, citing force majeure,

In accordance to our cancellation protocol.

Carl.

What a pleasure to see you again!

"Carl"? I'm in.

Do you know each other?

Meet Gyantse Rinpoche, the head lama of this monastery.

Have you come for the mandala?

We started this morning.

No, Rinpoche. It is in my capacity as a policeman.

Can we see the library? - Of course you can.

Enter.

It's a mandala.

Some see it as a work of art, but for them,

it's a spiritual practice.

When they've finished it, they'll destroy it.

Why destroy a work of art so complex and time-consuming?

To remind us the impermanence of all things.

Calling us to let go.

Letting go?

It means accepting that you can't plan for everything.

This seems to me very difficult to accept.

Tinkling.

What do they do?

Tibetan bowls are sacred ritual objects sacred ritual objects for Buddhists

and in this monastery, every monk spends time

to choose his bowl, which he personalizes

which he keeps for the rest of his life. - Every monk

keeps its bowl all its life? - Yes.

You know a lot.

Yes, Coste, I'm a Buddhist.

You're a Buddhist, no kidding?

Do you meditate and stuff? - Yes, I do.

How do you think I can stand you?

The rudder.

Just like in my dream.

It's a wheel of dharma.

They're usually yellow, aren't they?

Yes, as far as I know, this is the only one that's green.

In France, anyway.

Maxime, are you sure you've never been here before?

Yes, I was born in Peru. I was born in Peru and came back to France

For my studies. I didn't the existence of this place.

Are you sure you saw this wheel in your dream at the time of the crime?

Commissioner, don't you think what I think?

We'll have to check.

If Maxime really saw wheel in his dream,

Perhaps Lama Norbu was murdered here.

It would call into question the whole investigation.

The traces are light because they are old,

But it must have been dripping of blood here.

We can be at the primary crime scene.

Thank you.

I have enough information to ask to reopen the case.

In 1996, the trail of the drug addict seemed so obvious

Which they didn't think to look for in the monastery.

What are you thinking about?

Have you ever heard about...

Reincarnation, Coste?

Yeah, it's the soul that survives after death.

Yes, I know it.

It's not a soul as we generally understand it,

This is samsara.

The eternal cycle of rebirth.

Maxime was born on the day of Lama Norbu's murder.

Could Maxime be the reincarnation of the victim?

I'm just saying

that if nothing proves that explanation for his dream,

nothing proves

that it's not.

You spend too much time with Astrid.

Here.

You need to take readings on this object.

This bevelled tip corresponds to the description

of the autopsy. - Traces of blood.

There is a body of evidence evidence to suggest that

That it could be one of the murder weapons.

Hello, Astrid.

Gilles let me in. - Tetsuo.

I don't have much time.

I need to take a copy of this to the crime squad.

I was just coming to tell you I'm flying out the day after tomorrow

for Tokyo,

at 4:40pm.

So..,

We won't be playing our go game on Friday.

No.

I just wanted to say goodbye

before leaving.

All right.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Astrid.

This "chakpur

has been in our monastery since 1994.

We inherited it when Tulku Lingpa died.

It's a great honor for us.

It was him.

A great Tibetan master,

He stood up to the Chinese and united the Tibetan resistance.

An important figure.

Alas, we have not yet found his his reincarnation.

And how do you to get your hands on... reincarnation?

Nearing the end

of its existence, the lama leaves

written documents to identify the child

In which he will be reborn.

And what did he write, Tulku Lingpa?

He would be reincarnated in a mountain setting

between torrents.

It's lovely.

But it's not precise.

I'm not surprised you're having trouble.

You have the list of monks who were at the monastery

When Lama Norbu died?

Yes, here it is.

It's up to you.

Lama Loden speaks only Tibetan?

And not only that. Lama Loden was born mute,

it fills him with wisdom. Lama Loden says of Lama Norbu

that he was a being of peace,

Very devoted to others.

He helped young people in difficulty.

Were there any who came to the monastery?

Yes.

It has had a very positive impact on some people,

Like Lama Thokmé, for example.

Thanks to Lama Norbu

that I've found meaning in my life,

After years in care.

Today, I help other young people find their way.

I followed his trail.

I see from the register a young man, Nelson Pradier,

Left the monastery just after Lama Norbu's death.

Yes, he helped with meal preparation,

But a life devoted entirely to enlightenment wasn't for him.

So you're saying that the head of your monastery had forbidden

access to the temple,

5 days before the murder of Lama Norbu?

Yes, we don't know why.

Thank you for your availability.

Thank you, thank you.

Excuse me!

Lama Loden wants to be sure what you've said.

Did the murder of Lama Norbu inside the temple?

Yes, the murderer first hit him hit him with a chakpur,

and hit him hard on the head.

He then moved the body outside the temple

to make people believe a false lead.

He said the murderer must have had a lot of anger inside him,

like you.

- Like me? - Yes.

Lama Loden feels things and people's auras.

He feels your anger.

I'm very well, sir.

Thank you, sir. Lama, thank you.

So our victim is a monk who never made waves,

As pacifist as the Dalai Lama. - And who has helped a lot of people.

That's not going to help us a motive.

We do know that the monastery guide

was hiding something in the room where Lama Norbu was killed.

Does it have anything to do with his death?

Maybe, but he was the only one who knew what was inside,

and died.

Nico questions Pradier, the monk who left at that time.

Lama Norbu.

Quite a poem.

He was like a father to me.

When I met him, I was adrift.

He offered me a job

to the monastery kitchen...

Why did you leave?

I was there for him.

I had no reason when he was gone.

Nakshu Rinpoche had forbidden access to the temple,

5 days before the murder.

Do you know what he was hiding or...

No.

- No! - You mean who he was hiding?

What do you mean, who?

He asked me to prepare 2 extra meals for each shift.

I had to place them on a tray

For Loden to get them back.

Lama Loden, are you sure?

Yes, sure, why?

OK. Thank you for your time.

- What does umbrella mean? - It's an umbrella.

It symbolizes

that protects men from all evils especially suffering,

but Lama Loden, who supervises the creation of the mandala, likes

Associating symbols with each other to reinforce their meaning.

Here, for example,

the parasol and the two carps yellow and green

means get rid of suffering To reach appeasement.

Vibrator.

I'm sorry, I...

Hello?

Are you still at the monastery? ♪ -Yes.

Keep an eye on Lama Loden

And make sure he doesn't leave the monastery. We'll call him in.

♪ -Lama Loden is not participating

To the creation of the mandala, I don't know where it is.

♪ -Listen to me. Nakshu Rinpoche hid 2 people in the temple

And Loden knew why because he brought them food.

♪ He was careful to tell us.

Raphaëlle.

Yes, what is it? ♪ -I found Loden.

That's the one.

♪ He won't leave the monastery

♪ and that's a certainty. - Good.

You won't be able to question him.

Why is that?

He's dead.

♪-...

He jumped from the 1st floor.

It may be an admission of guilt.

He would have been afraid

Let him be exposed as a murderer. - Lama Loden did not commit suicide.

Why do you say that?

Petals.

Pansy petals.

Yes, on the balcony.

They clung to his dress as he stepped over the rail.

If he had stepped over the balcony

to throw themselves into the void, the petals would have clung

in the front of her dress, not at the back.

Was it pushed?

Yes.

Then the killer turned it upside down to make it look like suicide,

But it's murder.

Fournier established the presence of subdural edema

to the back of the neck. This confirms

Astrid's hypothesis. - The murderer of Lama Loden

would be the same as the

of Lama Norbu.

He would have wanted to protect himself because Loden had identified him.

Astrid, could you further research?

We can find similarities. - Astrid?

Aren't you going to answer to Commandant Coste?

Astrid?

You shouldn't be here.

What's wrong, Astrid?

You shouldn't be here.

You'd better go.

Now.

Phone number.

Something doesn't add up.

All the Tibetan monks who live at the monastery have passed through

By requests for asylum, all except Lama Norbu.

OK, keep looking in that direction. Nico, anything else?

Perhaps...

In April or May 1996, the 2 months preceding

the death of lama Norbu, lama Loden and Nakshu Rinpoche

Have made trips to Briançon and the last one was on May 14.

We're trying to find out why.

I'm going to see Astrid. - Don't worry. Don't worry.

She is used to

This kind of departure. - No, something's wrong.

I can be reached on my mobile.

Astrid?

What's going on?

- It happened again. - What are you talking about?

I am prone to epileptic seizures.

My goodness.

I didn't know.

I never told you about it.

My last crisis was when I was 18.

I haven't made one since.

It happened again.

Is it a seizure?

I saw Sami.

Sami?

The boy who came to the workshop?

Yes.

Only he couldn't be there.

It's a complex focal crisis.

This leads to hallucinatory phenomena

and engine shutdown.

These crises are arbitrary,

random.

Unpredictable.

Astrid?

I've been looking everywhere for you.

I even went to the doc, but I couldn't find you.

So I called William.

We talked.

These are epileptic seizures, what's happening to you.

Should I call a doctor?

Astrid?

I feel helpless, what can I do?

Thank you.

Are you feeling better, Astrid?

Yes.

I got my ten beans back.

Great, that makes me feel better.

I don't like... I don't like it when you're bad.

That's normal.

You're my friend,

A friend doesn't like her friend badly.

Right, Raphaëlle?

Raphaëlle?

Yes?

You've lost your bean.

Your embryo, your baby.

So I thought... you might need... To have this bean.

The day I found the body of Lama Loden,

I saw new symbols on the mandala,

Tibetan characters that appeared before the disappearance of Lama Loden.

There is a cluster of that seems to indicate

That they were hastily executed, without using the "chakpur".

As if he'd wanted to convey a message in a hurry?

It can be done.

These are Tibetan characters.

What does this mean?

That's what's so amazing.

In that order, it means nothing.

I'll be right back, Astrid.

Commissioner?

What are you doing here?

Maxime is disturbed by reincarnation story,

He asked for a test. - A test?

Yes.

Gyantse Rinpoche presents him with various objects

some of which belonged to

to Lama Norbu. If Maxime recognizes one of them, it's a sign that the

that he is the reincarnation of Lama Norbu.

- This doesn't make any sense. - Mom.

I need to know.

It doesn't work, it's ridiculous.

I tend to agree with the mom.

Fracas.

Among all the exhibits,

this "dorje" is the only one to have belonged

to Lama Norbu.

And this object emitted a metallic as it fell,

As if it were composed of several parts.

You are mistaken.

Dorje are traditionally forged From a single metal.

Commandant Coste.

Yes, take... Can she take it, touch it?

You're welcome.

Thank you.

You've made a mistake.

Now that's strange.

- A "yuan bao". - A what?

- A "yuan bao". - What's a "yuan bao"?

A Chinese lucky charm.

- Chinese? - Yes, Chinese.

It's not Tibetan, it's Chinese. Vibrator.

Yes, Laura?

I couldn't find the trail of our victim

In the immigration services because he wasn't Tibetan.

Chinese? ♪ -How do you know?

Precisely, we have just discovered a small object

made in China.

Our 1996 victim, Lama Norbu, Is actually Chinese.

He became a Buddhist monk a vocation,

and took care of an orphanage for many years.

But in the 90s,

he drew closer with the Chinese Communist Party

and moved to Tibet. In particular, he took part in

to the repression of Tibetans,

During the Lhasa riots, where he was wounded in the cheek.

The Chinese government against the Tibetans.

To turn him into a spy? An undercover spy...

at the monastery? It's a bit...

It's plausible. Tulku Lingpa was dead, the Chinese wanted

to outdo the Tibetans by naming his reincarnation.

The individual whose reincarnation were looking for.

The Tibetans hadn't yet found theirs, so the Chinese

designated one to catch them off guard.

The Briançon stationmaster remembers

of two Buddhist monks

with a purple dress

who came several times.

Loden and Nakshu were on their way to a village called La Grave.

What's over there?

Not much, it's a mountaineering resort.

The tourist office describes it as a jewel in the mountains.

Can you repeat that?

Did I say something wrong?

"Like a jewel in the mountains between several torrents."

Yes.

Like the prediction of reincarnation.

So you think Lama Loden

Discovered the reincarnation of Tulku Lingpa at La Grave?

He was a great believer.

If we're talking about an individual born at the time of the lama's death,

He was a child.

They brought him back with them and hid him in the monastery,

Hidden in the library.

The gentle Lama Norbu, who is in fact a Chinese spy,

discovered everything and given the order to eliminate him.

Thus, the Chinese had more latitude

To establish their authority with their candidate.

But it was Lama Norbu who died.

Yeah.

An attempted murder at La Grave?

Yes.

Against Clément Bayeul, a 2-year-old child.

It was his mother, Aurore Bayeul, who lodged the complaint

March 29, 1996.

Here. Only, the complaint was dismissed

Because Aurore Bayeul and her son left La Grave on May 14, 1996.

On the date of the last...

Rinpoche and Loden.

EXACTLY.

There are a number of clues

Indicating that Aurore and her son followed them.

That's why they thought that the boy was their reincarnate

And they hid the mother and the kid in the monastery.

- In the library. - Yes.

How about dinner?

Yes.

And bon ap!

Where are you with...

Your epileptic seizures?

I didn't have a new crisis,

But that doesn't mean that I won't do it again.

We know why it happens suddenly,

now, I mean?

It can be caused by emotional shock.

That's what the doctor told me the 1st time I had it.

Could it be because pregnancy?

I thought of this hypothesis.

Just...

there's no more pregnancy. Maybe they're linked

to Tetsuo's departure.

Tetsuo's departure?

Tetsuo moves back to Japan.

No, no, he...

He's going on vacation, he'll be back.

His scholarship has been revoked, he no longer has a residence permit.

This morning...

He came to say goodbye.

Like this?

He said goodbye like that, he...

Has he left you? - Without putting it like that.

He informed me of his departure.

His plane leaves tomorrow at 4.40pm.

And how...

did you take the news?

We won't be playing go anymore.

I think I'm sad.

I'm so sorry,

I can't believe it.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

Because you you didn't ask me.

I'm so sorry.

Hey!

Did you know about Tetsuo? He's going back to Japan.

- Did Astrid talk to you? - Yes, she did.

He got some shitty visas.

Visa crap? To others!

He just wanted to leave again.

It's understandable. It's not obvious for him either.

I beg your pardon?

To support Astrid? Is that it?

Calm down, you're freaking me out.

I trusted him.

I thought he was nice.

He dumped her in a few days.

Can you imagine the state she's in?

I don't even know who dumped who.

What do you mean?

He told her he loved her,

She didn't answer and she kicked him out. Him out of the house.

Did he ask her?

- If she loved him. - If she loved him.

No, I don't think so, no.

I watched this complaint story

Identified by Astrid. Have a look!

This is Aurore Bayeul,

the person who filed the complaint 28 years ago. Audrey Rivière,

The commissioner's friend's mother.

Not bad?

Above all, it's the same person.

Wait!

The kid we've been looking for murdered,

the reincarnate there,

It's Maxime, the commissioner's buddy?

That's it.

Ms. Rivière,

Don't you think this woman looks a lot like you?

Well...

♪ Your son Maxime, well, Clément, I mean,

he was not born on May 20, 1996, he was born

December 14, 1994. Am I wrong? The door opens.

Audrey?

Look at Maxime.

He has nightmares that ruin his life.

Audrey?

Your child will become a father himself.

You owe him the truth.

He wanted to kill him...

That monk with the scar.

Lama Norbu?

I've always been very close to Buddhist spirituality.

♪ So when...

♪ Nakshu Rinpoche and Lama Loden came to see me

to tell me that my son was the reincarnation

by Tulku Lingpa, I...

I was very confused.

I was afraid of this new destiny for my little boy.

And then there was this attempted murder

For which you you have filed a complaint.

Yeah.

The very next day, they came back to tell me that...

my little Clément was in danger,

that we had to get safe

before he was officially appointed.

And they hid you?

Yeah.

In the room which remained locked.

Only Nakshu Rinpoche could open it.

But someone managed into the room.

A monk.

At first, I thought he was sent by Rinpoche,

then I saw him getting ready...

Hitting my son with a "dorje".

I took what I could find.

In the window, there was a "chakpur", I...

♪ I stabbed him with it.

♪ He fell to the ground,

I took my son in my arms and left.

I didn't mean to kill him,

I just took this "chakpur".

Mme Rivière, Mme Rivière.

You stabbed him to protect your son. Didn't you?

Then you hit him on the head because he was chasing you.

No, I didn't hit him in the head, I stabbed him.

Then I ran away.

If Audrey Rivière is telling the truth, she wouldn't have killed

Lama Norbu. - She would just... Hurt?

Someone would have finished

Working after her? - Yes, with extreme violence.

And he would have eliminated Lama Loden.

Someone is inside the monastery.

A monk.

Telephone. Excuse me.

Bowls.

- Bowls? - Monks.

The monks wanted to erase the mandala.

- What's this all about? - Let's go to the monastery.

- Right away? - Yes, right away.

- We're going first! - OK.

Do not touch,

do not sweep.

Give me that.

Loden's message.

It's not a sentence.

I'm so sorry.

All these characteristics have been represented

On the mandala by Lama Loden, except this one.

I think Loden wanted to draw our attention to draw our attention to the bowl

stored in this location.

Which monk puts his bowl in this place?

It's Lama Thokmé.

Etienne Locurteau,

ordained as a monk under the name of Lama Thokmé,

orphan entrusted to the DDASS, you were shuffled from home to home

With host families.

Until I met Buddhism Buddhism, which saved my life.

Buddhism or Lama Norbu?

I should have sensed your anger.

I'm very angry too.

I experienced something traumatic

and I pretended like it was no big deal.

What about you?

How you deal with your anger,

lama Thokmé?

Anger is is an illusion of the ego.

Buddhism teaches us

The path to appeasement.

He teaches us.

But our humanity can shine through

Uncontrollably.

Especially when you're disappointed.

I can just imagine you, young man,

dented.

You trust Lama Norbu.

He's like a father to you.

Until one day you catch him you catch him trying to kill a child.

He ruined everything.

Lama Norbu had literally saved my life

By teaching me to love others.

And suddenly, there he was,

wounded, on the ground...

to order me to pursue a child and his mother who were running away,

Ordering me to kill a child.

I'd never seen so much hatred in someone's eyes.

Did you hit him?

I didn't understand anything anymore.

You killed him with your bowl.

After the tragedy,

You made it disappear by pretending to have misplaced it.

At the time, Lama Loden recorded in his stewardship registers

The purchase of a bowl for you.

During our interrogation, he made the connection

between blows to the head and the bowl.

When he learned that the murder had taken place in the monastery,

he realized that you were the culprit.

He was going to turn you in, so you killed him.

But he had time to designate you In the mandala.

He saw my guilt,

it was impossible to lie to him.

In Tibetan.

"I refrain from killing life."

This is one of the five precepts of Buddhism.

He told me he wouldn't turn me in

If I left the monastery.

But I didn't want to leave.

I couldn't leave.

Thanks, Coste.

I just did my job.

You've put your trust in me.

We're sure your boyfriend is the reincarnation of Lingpa?

All I know is that his date of birth December 14, 1994.

Tulku Lingpa's date of death?

What do you think?

- The mandala is gone. - It was so beautiful.

Astrid?

How do you feel about about Tetsuo's departure?

I don't know.

Tetsuo has become much more a landmark for me.

I'm not going to smell it anymore.

Did you tell him that?

He didn't ask me.

That doesn't mean that he doesn't need to hear it.

I think it's time to tell her.

Siren.

You give your news,

OK?

And I give you news from Astrid, I promise.

Time to go, sir.

Go ahead!

Astrid?

Raphaëlle drove very fast.

She used her flashing light an illegal situation

So I can talk to you.

Yes?

I don't want to play go with anyone but you.

The touch of your skin is not unbearable.

I can look you in the eye

and I particularly appreciate

The circumvolutions of the of your iris.

I love hearing you talk about the golden ratio.

I remember precisely

Of the 476 kisses we've exchanged.

You smell good.

There is a cluster of that seems to indicate

That I love you.

- Nico, I wanted to tell you... - It's okay, I know.

I know you don't want to talk about it anymore. I shouldn't have insisted. IS THAT OKAY?

I need to talk about it.

I didn't want to see it but...

even if I never imagined having another child one day...

I wanted this child.

I wanted it because it was with you.

I'll be back very soon

Play go with you.

I promise.

I'll be back.

In Japanese.

I'll make some tea.

Close the door.

We've already done it on the table? - 3 times.

Wait!

Go ahead.

Go ahead. - Hi, honey!

Mom?

How did you get in here?

Your babysitter was very accommodating.

Aren't you going to introduce me?

- Nicolas. - It's Nico.

Nice to meet you, Nicolas. Patricia.

This is my mother.

It's Mom.

Shall I make us some tea?

Why not! Thank you, Nicolas.

So, my darling... Are you happy?
