It's Garaudy.

THE FROZEN DEAD

With the amount of blood in his head and chest,

he didn't die from his injuries.

He was definitely alive when he was castrated,

but did he freeze to death or did his heart give out?

You were right.

Nobody is using Hirtmann to throw us off the scent,

that arsehole knows what's going on.

What's the status with Hirtmann's calls?

We know he called two prepaid phones.

The first was tracked to Paris and the other to Toulouse.

-We're still looking. -Irène!

Excuse me.

Did you think about what I said about Judge Lemaître?

Lemaître didn't ask for you because of Hirtmann,

but because Lombard is a well-connected guy.

End of story.

OK. Then tell me how Hirtmann would've forced a judge's hand

to get you on the case?

If Lemaître hadn't assigned you, I would've!

Unless I knew that Hirtmann was mixed up in all of this.

Forget about the judge.

You have my permission to question Hirtmann

that way you won't do it behind mine or Ziegler's back.

You need to find out why he thinks Garaudy is guilty.

That may help us make some progress.

Hello.

Your session with Hirtmann has been cancelled.

Why?

A man was killed last night.

The police thinks he's linked to it. They're going to interrogate him.

-Good morning, Sir. -Hello, Jean Marie.

They're all on edge with this whole Hirtmann palaver.

Change the staff around him and ban everyone else from seeing him

until we identify his accomplice.

That won't fix things.

Does the first one to speak lose?

What's Garaudy guilty of?

What's he guilty of?

Martin, I've already told you -you're the investigator.

Was it to punish him for a sex crime?

Well, that's obvious...

or maybe it's not.

If only you treated me like the friend I've always been.

I saw you when you arrived.

-How are you? -OK.

Did you come to interrogate him?

He doesn't give anything away. He does it with me too.

Hélène, don't stay here. Leave.

-Before he tells me where my sister is? -No, before he goes after you.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

I've got to go. See you soon.

-Yes? -It's Irène.

We found the money that was used to pay to kill the horse.

We're sending them to the lab for prints.

OK.

Vincent?

So? How's it going up there?

It's starting to spin out of control.

Did you warn them about Hélène?

You haven't said anything?

I won't stop her from finding out where her sister is.

Bloody hell, Martin. You think you're doing her a favour?

She could put herself and others in danger.

What do you need?

I need you to look up something.

20 years ago, when I joined the force,

there was a rumour going around about Judge Lemaître.

Something about him getting sued for illegal work.

Nothing ever came of it, but see if you can find something on that.

-OK, I'll see what I can do. -Thanks.

Martin, careful with that Carlier girl.

Weren't you working on Hirtmann's calls?

No, my men are on it. I wanted to be the one to tell her.

You know them?

Just her, a long time ago.

What did you tell her?

That her husband was murdered, but that I couldn't say more for now.

She's finding it hard to make sense of it.

Did you have time to go through Garaudy's things?

Do you really think now is the time?

Martin.

Hello, Madam, please accept my condolences.

Apologies, but I'm going to have to go through your husband's things.

His office is upstairs at the end of the corridor.

And your room?

You'll only find clothes. I'd rather you not go in there.

OK.

-I told you not to come in here. -Is that your daughter?

-Does she live in Saint Martin? -She's dead.

Where did your husband sleep, Mrs Garaudy?

Why did you sleep in separate rooms?

-Did you hold any grudges against him? -Martin.

Are you married?

No.

So, you may have a hard time understanding this.

After 30 years of living together, things start to become stale.

If you have no further questions, good day.

What were you thinking?

Her husband's castrated and they don't sleep together.

So?

It's a fitting punishment for a sex crime.

So, I wanted her take on it.

She's not connected to his death.

Maybe she is, maybe she isn't.

I saw photos of Garaudy with Perrot in his office.

They seem to be very chummy.

I'm going to see Perrot. Will you stay on the calls?

OK.

Something wrong with your winter coat?

No, it's fine.

Can I get my snowcat back?

-Are you friends with Pierre Garaudy? -We know each other.

You know each other or you're friends?

Tell me why you're here.

Because he's dead. He was killed.

Oh God.

But... What happened?

Your snowcat was used to transport Lombard's horse

and now your hunting partner dies.

What are you trying to say?

That I killed a horse and then Pierre?

Yes, Pierre is my friend.

If you think that's weird, then everyone around here is a suspect.

I need to call his wife.

OK, Mr Perrot, if...

you remember anything at all, feel free to...

Captain.

-What did he want? -News about Garaudy.

At least that means he's not got much.

He even asked if it was a suicide.

I was happy to let him think that.

Sorry, I've got to go pee.

Don't you want to know who Hirtmann called in Toulouse?

We have an address: 40 Rallieu road.

Aren't you happy?

-Where are you going? -Toulouse.

Didn't you want to...

Crap.

Yes, Vincent.

Lemaître wasn't just a rumour!

He had under-the-table workers?

Better, he got caught. And Hirtmann was in charge of the case!

-So, then what? -Nothing.

He had no proof so Hirtmann closed the case.

I've got an address, 40 Rallieu road.

Could you see if Lemaître lives around there?

40 Rallieu road. Hold on.

No, he lives near the museum.

-Is that road far from court? -It's on the other side of the river.

Hold on, let me try this out.

Bloody hell.

He's renting a flat.

At number 40.

Yes, coming!

Hello?

Captain Servaz, CID. Miss Angot?

Yes?

You bought a prepaid SIM card two weeks ago?

-Yes. -Can I see it?

No, I bought it for a friend.

Éric Lemaître?

Is that right?

Yes.

Please get dressed and come with me.

I have a meeting in less than 15 minutes on the other side of town.

This better be worth it for your sake.

What's going on?

-Éric! -Where's the phone?

I destroyed the chip.

Why did Hirtmann want me on the case?

I don't know.

I suggest you tell me what you do know.

I honestly don't know anything apart from what he asked me to do.

He wanted me to give you the horse case. That's it.

-Hi, Martin! -Hi, Alex!

-Hi! -Alright, little terrors?

Dad!

Hello, Sir.

Bye, Sir!

-Is the investigation over? -No.

But I had to stop off at the office.

So, this is the Casanova?

-I hope you're being careful. -Come on.

I know you discuss these things with her, but this is my place.

-What's wrong? -You have a nosebleed.

Put your head back.

-I hope you washed your hands. -Come on!

What do you want me to say? You're funny?

If you don't know, don't say anything. And go see a doctor.

It's not normal to have nosebleeds like that for no reason.

-What? -Nothing.

I hadn't realised that you'd grown up so fast.

Maud?

Maud?!

Vincent told me you were back.

Come in.

What's wrong?

I didn't have the strength to tell him.

I'm having an abortion.

-I'll come with you. -No need. I know you don't have time.

No, don't worry. I'll manage.

I'd rather go alone.

I'm on call tonight. I have to go back.

Yes, Irène?

We've identified the prints on the banknotes.

It's Alex Morand, a nurse from the unit.

-Have you got him? -No, we're looking for him.

He's not at work today.

-You got him? -Negative. He wasn't at his place.

-We're at his building. Are you far? -No, I'm on my way.

Where does he live?

On the left with the staircase.

Any news on Lemaître?

The prosecutor is going to summon him.

-Think he's still hiding something? -I think he said it all.

-We're in the same position as before. -Enough.

Now we're sure Hirtmann's pulling the strings.

Yeah, but he's always one step ahead.

Standby. Target identified.

He's crossing the road towards his building.

We'll corner him.

No!

-Did you get that, Martin? -Yeah.

The suicide case - that's the link between Hirtmann and Garaudy,

-That's what you should look into, OK? -OK, thanks, Vincent. I'll call you.

I asked Espérandieu to take a look at

whether Garaudy appeared in any of Hirtmann's files.

His prosecutor past may help us learn what he's up to.

Garaudy appeared in one of the cases he was on.

The suicide case?

You know about that?

I didn't know Hirtmann had been on the case,

but that incident left its mark around here.

-Fill me in. -It was a mass suicide.

Three teens including Fanny Boulanger, Garaudy's step-daughter.

They hung themselves, right?

Fanny accused Garaudy of sexual touching shortly before taking her life.

But she was a fragile girl and had already made up a few other stories

so the case was closed.

Do you think the killers are looking to avenge the young Boulanger?

It's worth looking into.

Could you take out that file from your archives?

Some things may not have been logged in.

I'm on it.

-Martin, go and see a doctor. -Yeah, OK.

Why didn't you tell me about that case?

It was a long time ago.

I didn't know she'd accused him of that.

But you knew her, you went to see his widow.

We were at the same college.

She was Garaudy's step-daughter and killed herself. What's going on?

Lemaître told us everything. And Alex is dead.

Oh, poor Alex.

All he did was post a letter.

I know about the suicide case.

-I know about Garaudy's step-daughter. -Bravo, Martin.

It was sad to watch you run around like a headless chicken.

This is all just a game for you, isn't it?

No, I'm not playing.

So, tell me.

Tell me why you're doing this.

What are you going to do with no one on the outside any more?

Don't worry about me.

You're pissing me off! I don't want to die!

Oh, Captain.

I'm off. I'm meeting the guy from the Water Trade Union.

Mr Mayor.

Can I help you?

It seems I should be asking you that. Is someone threatening you?

Sorry?

You just said you were scared of dying.

Oh, no, that's...

Financially speaking.

He got me in on a shoddy investment

and it's not like business is going strong.

So?

You're close to Garaudy's family.

Why?

I'm only asking because...

Do you recall the relationship between Garaudy and his step-daughter?

Oh, right.

About the complaint she made against him?

Listen, Pierre was very fond of that girl.

He never got over it.

-You ran the summer camp at the time. -Yeah.

I'm the one who discovered them hanging from the rope.

Those poor kids.

What do you think happened?

They were troubled souls, that's it.

Especially Fanny, she was unstable.

She even tried it on with me.

Oh, really?

If I'd suspected Pierre of anything,

I would've been the first to report him.

So, be careful with what you say. He was a good guy.

Of course.

A tearful Mrs Garaudy leaving the mortuary

Grim discovery made at a summer camp

Murder or suicide

Irène?

-How's it going? -Good, thanks. You?

Fine. Is your mum not here?

No, she's in Morocco.

She spends her winters at a place she bought there.

Sounds like a good plan.

Does your dad still live in Saint-Étienne?

He got out of prison a month ago.

What happened?

He got four years after causing an accident while drink driving.

We don't speak any more. It's been a while.

Funnily enough, I thought about you a few days ago.

I mean, I thought about Alice

and I remembered how we made my mum think we were a couple.

You poor thing. My dad couldn't stand you.

I should've told him that I was going out with your sister, not you.

Is this a friendly visit or business?

I found this in her file.

It should've been given back to you.

I remembered that you'd given it to her as a gift.

Thanks, but I'd rather you keep it.

My mum finally decided to clear out her stuff.

I think it's for the best.

Did you throw everything out?

We gave her clothes away and haven't decided what to do with the rest.

They're boxed up downstairs.

MY LITTLE (S)IRENE

Perrot was checking us out again in the shower at camp.

Fanny chucked water on him, the perv never saw it coming.

Fanny never said anything, but I know he fondled her too.

I'm the one who broke the lock.

We found it when going through her stuff.

It was well hidden.

I could never bring myself to read it.

My mother couldn't either.

Don't worry, you can keep it if you want.

Alice would've like you to keep her secrets.

I held up my end of the deal.

-Now tell me where my sister is. -You're not ready.

You're just as impatient as her.

I could let you in on a few things about Fabienne.

Really?

Do you want to let me in on how you took advantage of her weakness?

How you manipulated her?

How you killed her?

Remember, she's the one who wanted to die.

You're a piece of...

Her suicide attempts happened long before I came along.

You may not believe me,

but I loved Fabienne.

Did you know she was particularly fond of chapels?

There was one in which we liked to meet up

to make love.

Fabienne found it peaceful.

She said she felt closer to the heavens.

I HAVE BEEN ANSWERED -3 NOVEMBER 2004

Hello, Captain.

Hi, do you know where I can find Captain Ziegler?

Her car's not there.

No, sorry, I didn't see her leave.

-Yes? -Martin?

-Hélène? -Can you come? I need you.

Hélène.

It's not Fabienne.

That body's been there for a while.

I know.

But it's the date she died.

Hirtmann told me they came here.

So I thought he'd buried her here.

I'm going to lose it if I don't find her.

Sorry, I didn't know who to call.

No, you did the right thing.

Servaz.

It's Perrot. They want to kill me!

-Where are you? -At the hydropower pla...

Perrot?

You've reached Captain Ziegler's voicemail.

Please leave a message.

They're after Perrot!

Meet me at the hydropower plant with backup!

Julien Perrot here. Please leave a message.
