Breakfast.

This is from my daughter. Happy Christmas.

THE FROZEN DEAD

He's on his way. Trust in yourself and it'll be OK.

OK?

-Hello, doctor. -Hello.

This is Dr Diane Berg, our new psychiatrist.

We already spoke about her.

A pleasure, doctor.

Hello Mr Hirtmann.

Dr Berg will lead today's session and be your psychiatrist from now on.

Lucky you!

You're getting rid of me?

Have a good session.

What would you like to discuss?

I'd rather you told me about yourself, Diane.

You know that's impossible.

Never mind then.

It was a bit hectic on Christmas Eve, wasn't it?

It was a shame the play for New Year was cancelled because of it.

I understand everyone had worked hard.

Yes, it's a shame. The Trojan War is a good play.

It would have been pleasant in such an ugly place.

Were you going to act?

I'm not permitted such pleasures.

But if I was, I'd have played Paris.

I'm not young and I was never handsome,

but I still feel able to capture and love the beautiful Helen.

Helen of Troy...

Or perhaps you, Hélène...

Hélène Carlier.

I don't understand...

I'd recognise Fabienne's sister anywhere.

Don't worry, they can't hear us.

I won't say anything... Hélène.

It'll be our secret.

-Are you OK, doctor? -Yes.

Happy Christmas.

He knows him. He'll be better than me.

I'm not at all sure that...

I told you not to come.

Could you give us a minute?

Of course.

Thanks.

-That bastard's behind this... -I don't care what you think.

Have you seen yourself?

What scares me is what he'll do. Give me the case, Cathy.

Martin, it's an investigation not therapy. Please, go home.

You said it, you're unreliable. You can't deal with Hirtmann.

I know him best.

Ziegler will be there, she's sensible. If I get weird, she'll tell you.

I'll dismiss you immediately.

She's been trying to convince me to allow you back for an hour.

I'll tell her.

Martin! I don't want you to question him.

Ziegler will do it.

And she'll lead the case, OK?

Yes.

See you later.

-So? -We're going to Warnier.

Cathy wants to see you. I'll wait here.

Happy Christmas.

OK, but even if Hirtmann's behind this,

there's something I don't get.

Why would he attack an animal?

His thing is women.

And what's the link with Lombard?

Unless the guys who did it want to use Hirtmann to scare Lombard.

Decapitating his horse was more than enough.

We must find out how that hair left the centre.

I doubt he's pulling the strings from his cell.

Was it you who insisted I rejoin the case?

I wasn't keen on going it alone.

Did she ask you to monitor me?

You can tell me. I won't be mad at you.

It's just we can't mess up.

It can't get out of hand with Hirtmann.

And what do you think?

I think you're a big boy.

Come in!

What are you doing? I've been waiting for 20 minutes.

Sorry, I wanted to let you know but I'm tired, I have cramps.

Are you joking?

You need to know something: us carers gossip a lot.

What happened with Hirtmann?

Nothing, I had a panic attack.

Want to know something?

But this stays between us.

I was sweating the first time I took Hirtmann for his walk.

I'm twice as big as him,

but I was shitting myself.

Like with me in the gym?

Don't get smart.

Diane, you've been briefed a lot on this.

The dangerous detainees are like wild animals: never lower your gaze.

Don't show your fear and they'll leave you alone.

Go on, look at me.

Go on, get up and come and get your beating.

-Hello. -Hello.

Captains Ziegler and Servaz, we're meeting the director.

Leave your weapons here.

Mr Levasseur? They're here.

OK, sir.

Which article are you referring to?

The one in the Courier today. Here.

-What's this got to do with my centre? -We think a detainee is involved.

How?

He cut up a horse before returning to his cell without anyone realising?

We found a hair.

Whose hair?

Julian Hirtmann's.

-Are you joking? -We need to know who can access him.

-You think...? -We don't think, we see.

If Hirtmann hasn't been out, then your employee is involved.

Psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, carers, guards... there are at least 20 people.

But who is in contact with him most?

The nurses and carers in Block A.

There must be one who's closer to him.

Think.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Mr Levasseur said you were here. -Sit, please.

Do you cut Hirtmann's hair?

Yes.

Why you? Isn't there a barber who comes to the centre?

The barber read an article about Hirtmann.

He refuses to cut his hair as he has daughters.

Hirtmann asked me to trim his hair occasionally.

Why do you ask?

We found Hirtmann's hair on a decapitated horse's head.

The horse from the cable cars?

It's nothing to do with me. Anyone could have taken it from the bin.

So why the nervousness?

I thought it was about my debts.

Your debts?

Sometimes I gamble. At the casino.

I owe them money, they barred me.

I thought you were here for a bad cheque I wrote.

-OK, let's take him. -No, no, wait!

You cut Hirtmann's hair, that's enough for me.

I do the bare minimum with Hirtmann.

If you want someone friendly with him,

there's a carer you should talk to.

-Martin? -Yes?

-Are you OK? -Yeah, I'm fine.

-Calm down. -I am calm.

No, you're not calm.

Let me speak this time.

-Franck Rigaux? Mr Rigaux? -Yes?

Sorry.

Don't worry.

Captain Ziegler, police station. Captain Servaz, SRPJ Toulouse.

Can we talk, Mr Rigaux?

Give me a minute.

Yeah, I'm going back now anyway.

Is it about the fight last night?

Can you come to the police station?

But I'm back at work in 30 minutes.

Mr Levasseur knows.

-Can I? -Of course.

Thanks.

-I'll follow in my car. -No, you're coming with us.

We need the staff files from the director.

I'll ask when we arrive.

Can we be quick, please?

How are things with Hirtmann?

What's Hirtmann got to do with it? He was in his cell during the party.

Answer my question. How do you get along with Hirtmann?

The same as with any other detainee.

So you often lend your phone to other detainees?

Who told you that?

It doesn't matter.

Do you often lend it to him?

4 or 5 times.

When?

The first time was 6 months ago.

He asked me again a month ago,

and 3 times in the last 2 weeks, and I said that was it.

I don't want to lose my job.

Who did he call?

It was to check on his sister.

I checked, she's in hospital.

Have you done other favours for him?

No, that's all.

You know why Hirtmann's in prison?

Of course I know.

My daughter was run over by a car last year.

She can no longer walk,

and the insurance decided not to pay out.

Hirtmann helped me make the application

for compensation and proper care.

Has he ever asked you to take things out of the centre?

No.

He just asked me for the phone, that's all.

Where were you the night of 22nd-23rd December?

I was at A&E with my daughter.

She had bedsores on her legs.

I don't care if you think he's innocent.

Hirtmann's in isolation and this cretin gives him a phone.

Detain him and let him stew.

And if he's got nothing to hide?

Well then, we're in trouble.

The officials are pressuring me because of the newspaper article.

Not to mention Lombard, who's been calling my mobile since 6am.

-Is he back from London? -Yep.

Don't mess up, Martin.

You wanted to keep the case, try to find a way forward.

The hospital confirmed Franck Rigaux's alibi.

So we're just waiting for the phone records.

Levasseur will send the staff files.

Shit, I think it's him.

Mr Lombard.

Catherine d'Humières, public prosecutor.

Captain Ziegler and Captain Servaz who are dealing with the case.

-You almost killed Ben. -Not exactly.

He almost killed himself trying to escape.

Let's go inside and talk.

So until proven otherwise, Mr McFinley remains our prime suspect.

Your incompetence is shocking.

If you don't like our working methods, don't hesitate to tell everyone...

Captain.

Mr Lombard, we're not your staff so please watch your words.

Can I see the photos?

Ben was angry at being suspected.

Freedom was everything to him.

If he's innocent, we'll be happy to remove him from the list.

But now we have to consider every clue.

The only person capable of this is Garaudy.

-Pierre Garaudy? -Yes.

I took him off the company board after my father died.

And he took it that badly?

I know he's violent. He threatened me the other day.

You're the man here, right?

You should take a look into it.

If you want to be fired, carry on like that.

-What is it? -Garaudy...

His nephew's head of maintenance at Warnier.

One of Hirtmann's hairs? Thanks for keeping me up to speed.

Hearing about it from two nurses...

I look stupid!

Elisabeth! I'm director here. I don't have to explain myself to you.

That's what you wanted, right? For us to stick to our roles.

Stop it.

Stop it, please!

You tease me, we fuck like mad for two months,

then Diane arrives and nothing.

What are you trying to say?

You think I slept with you for a promotion?

Let me remind you you're married, François.

I'll leave her instantly if you ask.

If your wife and children could see you...

It's better if we leave it, Mr Director.

Looking for me?

The consultation with Hirtmann went badly.

I know.

-I made a mistake, you're not ready. -I am.

I was really stressed but I'm ready. It won't happen again.

OK, we'll try again.

But I warn you, if it goes badly you won't be returning to Block A.

Mr Garaudy? Captain Servaz.

I imagine you have questions regarding Lombard.

You think I slayed his horse?

I'm just meeting with people from his entourage.

Do I look like part of that little shit's entourage?

-Have you known him long? -About 6 months.

I knew his father at the time when Eric was in the USA.

I'd never met him but just after he arrived, he ejected me.

Can I ask why?

Well I own a pulp mill,

so first he criticised my supposedly polluting production methods.

He's a big client,

I proposed a more sustainable process, as they say these days.

He paid no attention, in reality he wanted me gone.

Yes, but why?

It's common practice in business to eject old partners

when taking over a family business.

It allows him to kill his father off completely, to become independent.

You threatened him two weeks ago.

He's a snotty brat used to getting his nose wiped.

Your nephew Jean Michel works at Warnier, right?

I haven't seen my nephew for years.

And if I hadn't saved his arse back then,

instead of working in a prison he'd be sleeping in one.

-Excuse me. -Of course.

Yeah. Have you found the nephew?

He's been on holiday in Thailand for 3 weeks,

sharing a load of photos of the prostitutes he's screwed.

He's still got another week.

The Warnier employee files arrived.

-Got a minute, Vincent? -Go on.

I need info on Diane Berg, psychiatrist at the Warnier centre.

Are you joking? Can't someone there help?

-You know you're the best. -That's it, butter me up.

Send me everything you find, official or not.

OK. Hey, I bumped into the prosecutor. What's the story with Hirtmann?

Nothing. Don't worry.

Yes?

You didn't come to dinner. Do you want something?

No thanks. I'm not hungry.

Sorry, I'm not letting my customers die of hunger.

So either you come down, or I'll come up and feed you.

Well, OK then. I'll be down in 5 minutes.

I know you can't talk about it, but is the investigation going well?

The best it can.

Worried about Irene?

I find her a bit weird at the moment.

I wanted to ask you to look out for her.

Yes. It's more her looking out for me, but I'll do the same.

-I promise. -Thank you.

Charlene? Is something wrong?

No, no, I'm OK. Vincent told me where you were.

How do you feel?

It should be me asking you that.

I can't sleep, I feel like it's moving.

Did you tell Vincent?

I can't.

It's over three months since he touched me.

I'll let you sleep.

No, no, don't hang up. I want to hear you breathe.

Good night, Martin.

Do you ever knock?

Is that Franck Rigaux's statement?

Morning. How's it going, sleep well? Yeah, great thanks, Martin.

We're sure he's not involved. I called the prosecutor.

So?

We let him go.

He'll be suspended until the case is over.

And Garaudy's nephew?

We still can't get hold of him.

Do you think he took the hair before he left?

I don't have a clue.

We should go.

-We must question Hirtmann. -Forget it.

-I must if we want to progress. -He'll say nothing.

OK. You think I won't be able to do it.

-It's nothing to do with you. -Really?

Ben's making threats.

-Who's Raynal? -A guy I took on to help Ben.

One day he was mistreating one of my horses. Ben beat him up. I fired him.

You're always firing people.

Stop Ben, I didn't do it... I didn't do it. I didn't do it.

You know me, you know me, Ben.

-Tell your bastard brothers to leave. -Stop, Ben.

-Police! Put down your weapons! -Put down your guns!

Lie face down on the ground!

Go on, get down! Go on!

McFinley!

Stop, Ben. Give me that gun.

I didn't think you'd be back, Hélène.

You know why I'm here.

I miss her too.

She loved you.

She was my sister.

Tell me where she is.

You know, she told me everything.

Her attempts to run away, her anorexia...

Sometimes I forget her face, and I feel awful.

But I always recall her voice.

You left her to die like an animal.

Oh no, no, don't say that.

Where is she?

I'll tell you.

But you're not yet ready.

And I need you.

Thanks, Dorian.

Your brother Ivan's confessed.

So either you do the same, or you let him take the rap.

It was me who suggested it to my brothers.

And?

Don't stop halfway through.

What do you want me to say?

I killed a horse and I regret it.

If I go to prison, I go to prison.

The next time I'm angry, I'll try to control myself.

You decapitated a horse and hung it from a mountain,

then ditched its head in a chapel because you were annoyed?

That's right.

Your brother said you were paid.

Your criminal records are colourful. Robberies, extortion, fights...

You'll pay for it.

For an old nag?

You can't really call a horse worth 600,000 a nag.

You know that very well.

If you tell us the truth

and it wasn't exactly your idea,

you might get off lighter.

If I tell you, can I keep the cash?

Have you spent it?

If you've spent it, we can't confiscate it.

Yeah, yeah, I spent it.

Who paid you?

I received an envelope with 10,000 and instructions on what to do.

There was 10,000 in the snow plough, and 20,000 in a deposit in Toulouse.

Once the job was done, we saw nobody, we spoke to nobody.

Did the instructions include the hair on the horse's head?

Yeah. We had to put it exactly where you found it.

And why did they choose you?

There was a note.

The guy who left it knew Lombard fired me and I was angry.

Where are the envelope and note?

I burned them.

OK.

We'll request a warrant to find the money.

Maybe there'll be prints on the banknotes.

You said I could keep it.

I lied.

End of interrogation, 3:05.

-Was he joking? -Sorry?

Was he joking?

Aren't you tired of travelling? You should take a room here.

No way, I like my little luxuries.

Thanks for lunch.

Keep going, you're doing a good job.

We've caught the little guys but not the boss.

You think it's Hirtmann?

If so, why hasn't Ziegler questioned him yet?

I asked her not to.

If she questions him he'll say nothing, he'll just play with her.

The boss must be someone who wants to scare Lombard,

and who thinks involving Hirtmann will give him more chips,

and cover his tracks.

Look out for Garaudy and nephew.

Go in, you'll catch your death.

Vincent? Did you call me?

The girl you told me about, Diane Berg.

She's Fabienne Carlier's sister.

After Fabienne's murder, Hélène went to Canada with her mother.

She took her Canadian stepfather's surname, Berg,

and used her middle name, Diane.

Are you there?

Listen, this doesn't sound good.

-Martin? -Thanks, Vincent.

I'll call the centre before she does something bad.

No, I'll deal with it.

I've got to go.

Everything OK?

I'm going to lie down for a minute.

Shall I get Irene?

No, no, thank you. I just need to lie down.

Yeah?

Hélène?

Sorry.

Sorry for what?

I know you tried to save my sister.

Does he know who you are?

He wants to see you.

Did he send you?

Don't let him manipulate you.

Want to help find Fabienne's body?

We've no choice, we must listen to him.

He had a horse killed so I'd come back.

He wanted us both here with him.

Why?

I'd like to know.

He's so twisted he's capable of anything.

How could he know they'd give you the case?

I don't know.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello, Thierry. -Hi.

We need to talk. There's a small problem.

-I'd like to see him alone. -Of course. Thierry?

How are you?

Martin, it's me, Julian.

Sit down, please. Don't treat me like an animal.

How's Maud?

-I missed you. -Why am I here?

I thought you wanted to see me.

She's beautiful.

She reminds me of her sister.

She's lost. That's what excites you, lost girls.

Leave her alone.

That's how you see me? As someone who profits from weakness?

Remember she came to see me. She needs me.

Like Fabienne, like all the rest.

They were all suffering before they met me. I saved them.

No, you killed them.

What did you do for them?

What did you do for Fabienne?

Did you tell Hélène her sister died because of you?

That I offered to tell you where I buried her if you let me go?

She was still breathing. You had time to find her.

Stop, you're lying.

I hid things from you, but I never lied to you.

She wanted to die. The mask and compressed air were her idea.

Don't feel guilty, it was her choice.

You buried her alive and left her to die.

Like all the others.

It's you who wanted it, not them. They were just lost girls.

How did you manage to get us both here, her and I?

Nothing to do with me.

Some would say God, fate, chance.

I don't believe in chance. Everything is incidental except chance.

Nothing to ask me?

Like what?

Like what'll happen after the horse.

Tonight, in a 10km radius, a culprit will be punished.

You won't tell me who?

Well no, you're the detective.

If someone dies, you'll be in a straitjacket for the rest of your life.

If so, there'll be more victims. Innocent this time.

Martin... I'm happy to work with you again.

Who gave me the case, Cathy?

Martin, you're bleeding.

Who gave me the case?

Judge Lemaître.
