Original subtitles

Where's my doudou? -It's okay, baby.

Your mother is on the tape. Confront her with it.

See what her reaction is. -That won't work.

Why not? -Because I can't do that with her.

Okay. When I've had enough I question her myself.

Then we do it like this.

Where are you going? -To get my money, I ain't got nothing yet.

Otherwise my bank will send the army after me.

Good luck.

What I'm owed- and not too soon.

The position of 'advisor-trainee' was still unknown

and had yet to be added to the system.

Is it OK or do I have to call the helpline?

I want to speak to the leadership, urgent. -Are you alright?

Are you deaf? Call the commissioner. -End of the corridor on the left.

Thank you Madam. -Please.

That's where the toilets are. -Ah.

Bye.

Can you move forward a bit? -All right, I will.

Here.

Hey, that guy isn't kidnapping you, is he? -It's fine.

Calm down, everything will be fine.

I'm just standing here. Do you know who I am? It's about my grandchildren.

Karadec, this is Florence Grangeon. Her children are gone.

Take a seat.

Their father and I are divorced.

Co-parenting. Franck had Juliette and Laura last night.

Franck who? His last name? -Sorin.

I haven't heard anything in two days.

Franck often goes camping with them. Maybe something happened.

Don't keep protecting him. He is probably already in Belgium.

You think he kidnapped his own kids? -Yes. He would lose custody.

Why do you say that? -His lifestyle.

He drags them into his madness. -Franck just doesn't live like you.

He is not innocent. Open your eyes. -Stop.

Excuse me.

What? Excuse me, do you want one too? -No thanks.

I have to go cash a check.

Who is that? -She's a consultant.

She's new.

Are you watching the door? The lock is acting weird.

I understand your father is an idiot. And your ex, what is he?

I don't know that well anymore.

We were so in love.

Then he went to read all about the earth, how it went down.

He wanted to reconnect with nature.

I would have followed him everywhere.

We bought a remote farm

to start an eco-guesthouse.

I knew it was madness. -Maybe not.

His back-to-nature idea must not have gone down well with your father.

That's not his thing, no. But my family was not the only problem.

We had few customers and ran into debt.

Then I had to ask my family for help. -That's death for love.

Franck became so radical.

I didn't want to disappoint my daughters.

You went back to your parents and the custody battle began.

Franck didn't let go.

But he's not kidnapping his kids, is he? -I don't know.

Franck is a good father, but where are my children?

Good thanks.

Franck Sorin left three weeks ago and got passports for his daughters.

This is the custody investigation.

'Franck Sorin is unstable and dangerous to his daughters.'

So kidnapping is a possibility.

Look at where he lives and I'll set up an AMBER alert.

And take... -Yes, yes, I'll take Morgane.

Damn.

Nice walk, though.

Come on, have a laugh. Soon you will get it on your prostate.

Stay there.

(English) Yes, sir!

Is someone there?

Morgana?

You found Laura's stuffed animal.

Morgane, are you looking for worms to fish or what?

Something is wrong. Look.

This vegetable garden is clearly permaculture.

You have straw, all the vegetables are mixed up.

I've had to deal with it when Eliott was in his botanical phase.

Very exciting. And thus?

That part there, that's also a principle of permaculture, that lies fallow.

You can't plant there.

You leave it and everything blooms there sometimes more than a year later.

But I don't understand why it's here.

Sorin may have died from a blow to the temple with a blunt object.

Something like that? -Possibly.

How long ago did he die? -Given the rigor mortis 12 to 24 hours.

That's how long the killer has had the kids.

And? -I've knocked on doors.

Nearest neighbors are 1 km. Nobody knows anything.

But at the cafe where Franck delivers vegetables

he was seen yesterday morning with a woman. Solid type.

Did he know her? -No.

In her thirties, dark, medium hair, nice face, glasses.

Probably his new girlfriend. -No, Sorin's still wearing his wedding ring.

If he wanted to go after the females, he'd have taken it off.

Bring an umbrella? -I immersed myself in this book lying there.

Look what I found.

He was more into old people.

That could be the parents. -I'll figure it out.

I'll pass it on at the border. Are you questioning the family?

Are you not forgetting something? -Good to have you here.

I have a noise in my heart that should be investigated.

I'm not a cardiologist. -Alvaro?

You're being called. -I'm busy.

We're going. -Yes, let's go.

Is everyone listening, please?

We are looking for two girls, 5 and 8 years old.

The father's killer must be on the run with them.

Possibly with Franck Sorin's car, a gray Peugeot 405.

Registration number 53-77-SV-80. Distribute immediately.

Highest priority is finding that car. Okay? Thanks. Let's get to work.

I understand why Florence wanted to live with her parents again.

What a trip, you say. That is something different.

They are not crazy.

Arnaud Grangeon of Hotels Grangeon owns it, luxury hotels.

They are all over the world. -Of course, I know that one.

I was at one in the Maldives. Just before I was in Megeve.

Very bad bedding.

Grangeon is friends with the prefect. So watch what you say for once.

Is that possible? -I'm really well behaved.

I'm not crazy.

Hey. -Hello.

I regret to inform you

that Mr Franck Sorin, your ex-husband, was murdered.

We found his body this morning.

I was there.

And my daughters? -An AMBER alert has been issued.

We'll probably know more soon.

A witness saw your ex-husband with a woman:

Dark hair, glasses, quite young. Do you know who that could be?

That's Mr. Grangeon's whiskey.

Come on, toast with me.

Here. -Thanks.

Worker's cleverness.

The old one has nothing to do with it.

To your health. -And yours.

Just between us: How are the Grangeons?

Fine. Firm but fair.

So they are tyrants and you are a good employee.

And their son-in-law? I understand that he neglected his children?

No, he is caring.

He brought them back on time, brushed teeth and ironed clothes.

Madam?

We will do everything possible to find your daughters.

Bye.

I liked Mr Franck.

And?

Saturday he came to get a book that Juliette had forgotten.

I went up and when I came back, he came out of Mr Grangeon's room.

I looked and nothing was missing. Stealing isn't like Mr Franck either.

But he was nervous that day.

There have been many calls, but nothing credible.

They've been gone 15 hrs, we've got nothing. -Our only clue

There's the brunette with glasses who was with Franck the day of his death.

No one else knows that woman. -Search further.

And the sex offenders in the area? -Two, whose alibis are checked.

I will inform the Belgians. Do you do Luxembourg and the Netherlands?

Get going, guys. -Seen the Child Protection Report?

Bother to read the Child Protection Report? -Do you know who that was?

Look. -Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg.

'Bad food'. You know that vegetable garden? Does he feed them junk food?

'Little culture'. No screens in all the rooms and books everywhere.

That could be worse.

A little quieter, please. -And the topper:

Toxic products within reach. He doesn't use bleach.

I know those guys: Only green soap and cleaning vinegar.

Am I wrong? -No, I've seen the closet.

Franck does not neglect his children, this is pure nonsense.

Clara Patrelli.

Dark, medium hair, glasses. That looks like our mystery lady.

Mrs. Patrelli, Karadec, Judicial Police.

Do you know that Franck Sorin was murdered? -I saw it. Horrible.

Such a critical report, it seems like you have something against him.

Is that right?

I have to do a risk analysis. I am not-

Had a nice holiday?

There you go, mosquito bites.

When there are currently none. Been to the sun?

You're mistaken.

I know envelopes with 'urgent' on them all too well since I'm short on money.

And I have that pasta too, the cheapest. You clearly have little money.

Still you can afford a luxury hotel.

That is-- The old one.

You stayed in his hotel as a thank you for a nasty report on his son-in-law.

Grangeon knows everyobody. If I had refused I'd be fired.

So you screwed up someone's life in exchange for your miserable career?

All right.

Franck found out?

If he had turned you in, you ran the risk-

I didn't kill him. This is not possible.

You were seen on the day of his death. -He wanted to see me.

He wanted to tell the judge. Even though I wanted to correct the report.

He said his father-in-law does this more often and it had to stop.

He would have blackmailed more people?

He said he had proof to put us behind bars.

He was determined, so I left.

And what did you do then?

Then she told the old man, didn't she, naughty?

And Grangeon won't just let that happen.

Call attorney Balland. He'll take care of it. -Gum? No?

Let's go. -My husband wasn't even in Lille yesterday.

Jeremy, tell them.

He had to go to Deauville and was back at 10pm.

Deauville?

Were there traffic jams to Normandy? Why didn't you leave earlier?

It was last-minute.

Do you have a receipt from the road?

From a gas station?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Surely you had to refuel there or back?

I had already done that in the morning. Out of caution.

Wasn't it last-minute?

Did Mr Grangeon ask you to lie?

Yes.

That doesn't speak for him. -He would never harm the children.

Florence, tell him.

I don't know anymore.

We'll keep you informed.

Alvaro?

What are you doing, Alvaro?

No, don't come in-This is not-- Look.

Does that pink remind you of anything?

Same deviation as in that photo with Sorin.

That's right.

Scandalous. My client has a globally-known company.

This damages his reputation and puts jobs at risk.

Mr. Grangeon, do you know this photo,

an elderly couple by a swimming pool in a tropical resort with palm trees?

I don't know it. -Yet we found it on your computer.

Mr. Sorin printed it out.

Your printer leaves traces, a kind of signature.

At first we didn't understand why Franck had that photo.

Until we saw the original on your computer. Then it got interesting.

If you zoom in on that woman's robe

you will see this: Your hotel's logo.

Not true? -Mr. Grangeon has no comment.

So they are guests. There is one little thing I don't understand.

Why was Franck Sorin interested in those two? Any idea?

Don't you know that man? No?

We already do.

That man, next to his wife, is a Lille court judge.

In 2016 he allowed you to build a hotel in a protected area

despite complaints from three environmental organizations.

Two months earlier he went on safari in Tanzania and stayed at your hotel.

We call that corruption,

Franck decided to report it.

He collected all the evidence and wanted to make it public.

My client has no comment on this case.

The social worker who blackmailed you, Clara Patrelli, warned you yesterday.

Shortly afterwards you sent a text to this number.

"I need to speak to you urgently." This turned out to be a prepaid device.

Who is he?

Look. Yes, I know, no comment.

Do you know what I think?

You call him when you have trouble: to bribe someone;

or silence someone. Yesterday your son-in-law.

I would never hurt the father of my grandchildren.

Your grandchildren could likely identify the culprit.

It's about your grandchildren.

Would he risk letting them live?

Where can we find him?

His name is Ivan Bocquet.

Target in sight. Hold on.

Police! Don't move! Hands!

Go ahead. -Don't move.

Take him.

If the girls are still alive, you can get a reduced sentence.

Tell me where they are, then the judge will be lenient.

I get it. You don't need the cops. You act like you're tough.

Fine, then, we'll stop. You go into a cell. Then you can think.

Do you think the cell scares me? -Oh yes, you have a membership.

Then you see your mates again.

Do they know what you do with little girls?

If you don't tell me where they are your photo goes to the press.

They've been whining for a scoop. Everywhere, your head next to the girls.

What would your comrades in jail think about that, do you think?

You can't do that.

I haven't touched them. -You didn't just get the money,

did you? You had to fix something. -He had to shut up.

But when I got there, that girl from Grangeon's was already there.

Girl? -Florence Grangeon.

She talked about a photo and screamed. She was furious.

She didn't want her father to go to jail. I left.

We're on top of it. I'll keep you informed.

Gilles, any news?

Florence left the house over an hour ago.

Her cellphone is off.

And her car? -Nothing's come in yet.

Suppose the children were at the murder, then she hid them.

She could leave the country. Block the account. -Too late, 10,000 euros withdrawn.

Daphne, inform Wanted Persons, spread her description.

The doudou.

The stuffed animal you found on the farm.

Looks like Laura took it everywhere with her.

Florence never forgets that one. -She dropped it in the panic.

You don't have children;

I once left Thea's doudou on the train and she howled for a week.

Florence was there at the time of the murder. She concealed that.

She's gone, with 10 grand. What else? -It's not right.

How come it's not right? -Her nails.

They're perfect. How's that possible if you buried a corpse?

Stop. It's about her and the girls, not her nails.

You don't have to do that. I'll make sure you don't make mistakes.

So I lose time and there is none. -You know, I'm gone.

Go on, that's better.

Aren't you with the kids, Henri? -I left.

How come? -Your mother had everything under control.

Didn't you know she was coming?

Kids? -Mom!

Hi, sweetheart. Who wants another?

Watch out, it's hot. -Come on.

What are you doing here?

I was coming out of the fabric store and thought I was close to your house.

I just wanted to say hello to the kids.

She made pancakes. -Never mind, I'll do that.

Can I help with the kids? Pick them up from school.

And eat pancakes? -I'll be fine.

Grandma may have found me an internship. -What internship?

I was with Gerard the hairdresser. His neighbor is a photographer.

He's right next to our house.

I was talking about Thea and he said that such a lively and smart girl

might appeal to him.

Saint Andre is too far. -She can take the bus; she can eat with me.

I said no. -But why?

You're always whining about an internship, now I have one and you say no.

I already found you something, at the police.

Everyone agrees, so we're not going.

My opinion doesn't matter?

All right, I'll go again. Bye, honey.

See you soon, Grandma. -Bye, honey.

Bye, sweetheart. -Have a nice day.

What?

Good gracious.

Your sister has an attack and I thought it would never end.

Her teeth, Grandma says. -Teeth?

No, she's not meddling.

Isn't that too much?

No news yet on Juliette and Laura Sorin.

If you have any information on their whereabouts

you can call a special number for kidnappings.

That lamp lit nothing. That was meant to illuminate something.

What has moved? That Buddha statue in the dark.

Why? To get into the cabinet with old expensive porcelain.

You're a genius, Thea.

Can I do the photo internship? -Nice try.

I have to leave. Are you paying attention? -No. I'm not your nanny.

They're already asleep. -You never know, with those teeth.

Five euro. -Ten. Danger money.

I don't have time to negotiate. Here, creep.

We're closed. If you are interested we'll make an appointment.

For her, yes.

How did you find me? -Sir specializes in Chinese antiques.

Your mother loves them, she knows all the books.

One thing I found strange: the fake Ming in the display case.

You see children playing 'Colin-maillard', blind man. That is not possible.

Jean Colin was a bricklayer,

who in the 10th century fought invaders with his wooden mallet,

hence 'Colin-maillard.'

He was unlucky and had his eyes gouged out, but he fought on.

His enemies tried to fool him: Here I am, over here.

This game became popular in the 16th century.

So no blind man in the Ming dynasty,

and that vase at your parents' place is fake.

Where did you get that knowledge? -My kids' cereal box.

It has sugar, but you learn a lot.

You put the fake vase in the cabinet

to hide the lack of the real thing.

Why do you need so much money? -None of your business.

Don't bother, the police are looking for you. They're looking for your daughters.

I don't talk to the police. -See it here?

You disappoint me.

A man called, he has Juliette and Laura.

If I don't get 100,000 tomorrow,

what happened to Franck happens to them.

We call. -No, he'll kill them.

He'll kill them.

Why didn't you say you saw Franck?

I couldn't do it. I didn't want my father sent to prison.

He's no good, but he's always there for me.

I begged Franck not to report him.

He didn't want to hurt me, but he had to.

Then I left. For real.

When in the ransom drop? -Tomorrow 8 o'clock. Industrial area.

I don't understand who kidnapped the girls.

Where did you want to sleep, in the car?

Come with me. I'm really getting in trouble, you know.

If necessary, I'll take the couch.

Thank you.

Friday;

Friday I had a fight with Juliette.

She wanted a dog for Christmas, but I didn't.

My parents do everything but I don't want to spoil them.

That was the last time I spoke to her.

I yelled at her.

We'll find them. And then you'll buy such a beast for them.

He'll eat your shoes and puke on your carpet.

And Juliette won't walk him,

you'll have to go outside in all kinds of weather.

We will find your girls.

Now try to get some sleep.

Hey, who's that? -A girlfriend. Go back to bed.

You have no girlfriends. -Neither will you if I put you under house arrest.

Hop hop, to bed. Wait a minute, come here.

Just cuddle. Delicious. -That's all right.

Nice cuddling. -Now stop.

Okay, goodnight.

Hey. -To make amends?

Is your mother there? -She's already gone with her new girlfriend.

Which new girlfriend?

'Take care of the little ones. Back at 9:30. Otherwise, call the chief.' That's you.

I already understood that. -It has an address on it.

What did that girlfriend look like?

I know you're going crazy, but it's gonna work.

Damn, what is he doing here?

Get out of the car. Hands where I I can see. Get out of the car.

Don't be stupid. I can explain.

I'm really fed up now. Get down. -No, but-

Turn around. Don't move. -Karadec, that's how things go wrong.

She has to answer. -I have to answer.

That's the kidnapper. Otherwise they're dead.

I have to answer.

Put him on speaker.

Hello? -You're alone, I hope?

Yes. -Do you have the money?

Yes. Where are my girls?

Flats under construction, pedestrian exit, corner of Noyelles Lorival.

You have five minutes. Different-

He hung up.

I have to go there. -No way.

As long as he doesn't have the money, they stay alive. Do you get that?

Five minutes, he said. -Stay here and let me think.

I'm calling for backup. -Then they go into cowboy mode.

Then everything goes wrong.

Five minutes, he said. -Let me think.

There's no time for that She has to go.

Karadec?

Please.

All right, give me that.

Morgane, call me on my cell.

Now.

What is he doing?

Morgane, give your phone to Florence. Here.

Leave it on. Put it in your pocket, then I'll hear everything.

If something happens, I'll intervene.

You stay here. -Okay.

You're in front of the construction site. Go to the blue shack.

Wait-- The construction site.

Okay.

Walk past the building. You'll come to a small entrance on the left.

Go straight until the second entrance.

If you do what I say, everything will be fine.

Continue down the hallway until you reach the terrace.

Cross that.

Enter the second building. Do not run.

Straight ahead, you come to a corridor again.

Skip the first and second doors

You should see an elevator shaft. -I do not see it. Over there?

Attach the bag. -My girls first.

Do what I say.

Ready? -Now my daughters.

First I check if the money is in it.

Where are they?

Are they with you?

Juliette?

Laura?

Don't move!

No!

It's not true.

Yes, that's Franck's car. All right, I have a signal.

I'll forward it. Put everyone on following him.

See you soon.

Are you going to sulk for a long time?

You hid a suspect and did not warn me about the exchange.

I'm not sulking, Morgane, I'm furious.

We must work together. When will you ever trust me?

Be my co-driver now.

Your car's anti-theft transmitter is with the money?

It seemed like a good purchase. Get in. -That's smart.

Right there.

Damn. -But that is...

No. Juliette, Laura-

Juliette. -No, stay here.

Stay there. -My girls.

No, stay here.

All right, they're not there. They're not in it.

Everything will be fine.

Move away, please.

It's okay, they're not in it.

The TR did not find a print. -Great.

She can't help it.

I agreed to the exchange.

What does this tell us?

Why did he burn the money? -Maybe it wasn't about the money for him.

The guy's a dwarf. 1 meter 60, 65 at most.

Maybe manipulation, a false lead.

What the hell.

I know who kidnapped them.

Hey. How did you get that ugly wound?

Get off.

Roll up your sleeve.

Jeremy Morel, you you're under arrest for the murder of Franck Sorin

and kidnapping his children.

What is this? Jeremy has worked for me for fifteen years.

Why, Jeremy? -For you.

He always plays with the same numbers: 15-4-8-5.

He always plays with the same numbers 15-4-8-5.

You were born on April 15, 1985? -Yes.

He's always there to comfort you, trying to get your attention,

doing you favors and watching you all day long.

However?

I was wondering why you parked the car under the tree.

Those leaves and bird droppings you always had to clean.

But then I got it: only there could you see into her room.

You wanted to offer her the prosperity she earned. But this is not Titanic.

She didn't see you and married someone else.

Jeremy? Tell me it's not true.

He didn't deserve you.

That awful farm where he forced you to live.

He wanted to take Juliette and Laura from you. And put your father in prison?

I couldn't allow that.

And my daughters? -I wanted to give them back. That ransom-

What have you done with them?

Where are Laura and Juliette? -I don't know.

When I got back to the car, they were gone.

Sorry, Florence. -Where was that?

The Scarpe-Escaut Park, on the edge of the forest.

Florence, I'm sorry.

Three units at the entrance.

Rule one if you're lost: Orient yourself to the north.

How do you find where the north is? -Where there's moss, sun, migratory birds.

Yes, not easy.

Rule 2: Use foods from nature.

Rule 3: You give a known distress signal.

There.

Then you look for a good place to wait for help.
