This film is based on one of France's strangest criminal cases.

Its depiction of events draws greatly on interviews,

and official documents and reports.

Considering it a work of fiction,

the filmmakers have called on their imagination

to deliver their interpretation of a true story.

Winter 1978

Move it, Jérome'll be there at 9.

You said you're just friends.

So? Is that a problem?

Sounds like you got knocked off your feet yesterday.

Something like that.

Guess what, he had Vannier in Economics last year.

Apparently, the exam's the same every year.

He'll give me the questions. I'll ace it.

He's just sweet-talking you.

Even if he does, you're happy to cheat?

You don't care, you'll pass.

His class is horrible. I have nightmares about it.

Got any cigarettes?

A few. We can bum more there.

C'mon, let's go!

Watch out, don't go too fast!

You wanna be there for 9?

You maniac!

NEXT TIME I'LL AIM FOR THE HEART

White Renault 5, license plate, 1890 AZ 62.

Attack on a young woman in Crépy. Could be the Maxence gunman.

Here we go...

The nut must've got dumped

and gone apeshit.

We won't catch him with that philosophy.

How come?

What's philosophy got to do with it?

Damn cold!

Lose the mustache. Breeding-ground for germs.

- My little thigh-tickler? - Dream on, my friend.

Tonton, turn up the heating in here.

My fridge is warmer than this car.

- Why this way? - Why not?

On the map, left was quicker.

I map therefore I am?

Without a point of reference, there is no order.

What if maps lie? Thought of that?

If you don't challenge maps, you'll never challenge anything.

You're on medication, right?

It's better we know now.

That one over there.

Let's take a look.

Looks in good condition.

License plate?

7503 RC 60.

Not on our list, that one.

So how'd it get here?

What do we do? Call HQ?

And waste a half-hour?

The time it takes them to check the data bank...

We do it and split. I'm freezing.

We'll say it'd been hot wired.

Okay, guys?

Driver's door is locked.

Blanket! Throw it!

Get on the ground! Lie down!

Call it in.

Call it in, Tonton!

Don't touch it.

Well...

He has first degree burns.

I don't have a crystal ball,

but it doesn't sound too serious.

Luckily.

I'm going to get a hell of an earful.

I'm shocked.

You don't ask an Auxiliary to take such risks.

It's against the rules

to take shortcuts instead of consulting a computer.

You should've called HQ.

Security regulations are not optional extras!

Franck...

Next time you see instructions ignored,

take command of the patrol.

You have my permission.

Sir,

This letter is intended to provide details

concerning the Renault 18,

with license plates 7503 RC 60,

which exploded due to the gendarmes' recklessness.

At the wheel of said vehicle, I fired 3 shots

at Sonia Favreau on Thursday 13th at midnight.

Using the same vehicle, I missed Alice Jonquet on her moped

on Saturday 15th.

Alice knows me,

will see me again, but won't make the connection.

Next time, PH aim for the heart.

Not the legs.

Organize your manhunts,

watch {he railroads,

increase nighttime patrols on rainy nights...

I like working alone.

I despise recklessness.

A 19-year-old girl walking provocatively at night

is a target I particularly appreciate.

I am a killer.

As such, I shall kill.

"I despise recklessness.

"A 19-year-old girl walking provocatively at night

"is a target I particularly appreciate.

"I am a killer.

"As such,

"I shall kill."

The Police Department sent me this

because it concerns our territory and our wounded colleague.

The cops are focusing on known sex offenders.

- You think he's one? - No idea.

I just hope

we haven't got a psycho on our hands, like Barbeault.

We have nothing.

Hazy descriptions, vague recollections...

Our weddings?

It's the Crime Squad's case,

but the attacks took place on our territory,

so we're working with the Police.

I know you don't like it,

but we'll help them set up roadblocks.

Neuhart and Tonton, go see Alice.

Question her, see if she knows anything.

Okay, gentlemen.

Damn cops, always taking the best cases!

One second, Franck.

I have to tell you...

The top brass called.

You'll get a letter but I should warn you,

your request for posting overseas has been refused.

It happens.

I know you're disappointed, but I'd rather not lose

the best man I have.

Sometimes I'm tired, sir.

A gendarme's life!

Look at them.

Pigs are like rats.

For one you see, there are fifty hiding.

Look at that!

As discreet as open-air patties!

We sit here freezing our nuts off, and they swagger around.

What do you expect?

The Police have priority on this lunatic.

Bastards!

Why can't we investigate?

Seriously, you feel useful here?

We're nothing.

Zilch. Nobodies.

Let's haul out.

Too right. As if the guy's out wearing a neon sign!

Let's spook 'em.

Drive by, up close.

Hey. Piggies!

Wasn't a total waste of time.

Morning, Mr. Neuhart.

Morning, Sophie.

You had a good weekend?

It was boring.

How can a weekend be boring?

Let me make the coffee.

Same as last time? You liked it?

- Very much. - Same again, then.

Go get dressed, I'll fix breakfast.

Thank you.

How's your brother?

Fine. Mom wishes he'd write more often.

He's in Provence now.

You'd think the army could keep him close by.

This shirt's lost its buttons. Should I throw it out?

No, I'll keep it.

I can use it to polish shoes.

Here.

I know you like pop music.

Franck, that's very nice of you.

A woman shouldn't call a man nice.

Even so, it's very nice of you.

Okay, it's nice.

- Just a few minutes. - As I said, she has trouble talking.

Please, follow me.

Hello, Alice.

How do you feel?

We want to know if you can describe your attacker for us.

You don't have to talk, just move your head.

You'd seen him before?

What was he like? Old?

Young?

You remember if he had a mustache?

We need something to go on.

You want us to come back later?

I don't understand...

I promise you, we'll catch him.

Okay?

Get some rest.

Your brother's getting married.

So young?

Not me. Paul!

He'll tell you when he comes.

When are you going to wed?

I don't know.

Nobody lined up? No girlfriend? No fiancée?

Stop pestering him with that.

Hold on...

Look.

No more lonely nights for these two soulmates

Are you kidding?

No, why?

Leave him alone.

Don't bother looking.

Your laundry girl, Sophie, she's keen on you.

She's not keen on me.

You don't see it,

but it's true.

You're so innocent,

a woman would have to strip you before you suspect anything.

Damn!

Hey, not till I say so.

Listen! I say when, okay?

Wait for my command, okay?

We'll go again.

There...

The tip like that,

and when I say so, fire.

My turn.

Look what you had in your gut.

Great, empty it all out.

Why march on these?

To pay.

Pay for what?

Who cares what you pay for, you pay.

Isn't this great here?

It's the real thing.

You suffocate in houses but here...

Let's run some more.

Are you sure?

Puking helped, right?

It did. It cleaned you out.

- Can you do it? - No.

You dummy. You'll have to learn to go faster.

They don't wait in the army.

- Really? - No way.

You'll get dumped on.

Come on.

Move it. Aim for the pond and I have to catch you.

Faster, before I kick your ass!

You don't eat them?

- I don't eat what? - The eggs.

You shell them and don't eat them.

No, I don't. I shell them and don't eat them.

But I pay for them.

Sir?

A half. Not too much head.

Your half.

No trouble, okay.

Same again. Not so frothy.

Can you manage that?

With the eggs, that's 9 francs.

We have to wait till Christmas?

In there an hour!

Down in the dumps? Call Paulina. All ages and genders.

What are you staring at?

Fuck off, you coon!

Good evening.

May I speak to Paulina, please?

I wanted to see her.

I could be there pretty fast.

Yes, go ahead.

Okay. Thanks.

Evening. I'm here to see Paulina. Was it you I spoke to?

Sorry, I'm a bit early. Sorry, sir.

Come on in.

Where's Paulina?

Don't worry, my dear sir. She won't be long.

Don't be so impatient.

She's in the bathroom there.

Can't be disturbed.

Sit down, please. The film will pass the time.

You want a scotch?

I want to see Paulina.

What's she doing in there?

Are you deaf?

What is Paulina doing?

However often I see it,

I always applaud when she brings him back to life.

I can't help it.

Let's open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

You're shitting me?

Lying right from the start?

There is no Paulina?

Let go of me, please.

- There is no Paulina! - I lied to you.

There's nobody in the bathroom, there's no Paulina.

Don't be angry with me.

I was so happy to have someone come to see me.

My first visitor in ages. You have no idea...

Why is there no Paulina?

You enjoy fucking with me?

Do you?

The Nogent-sur-Oise killer still unidentified

More infamy from the Killer in the Shadows?

Will Barbeault confess to being the Killer in the Shadows?

Can you wait here a minute, please?

I'll go see if you can come in.

Alright.

I won't be long.

Smells funny. You never open the windows?

It must be the cat. I'll introduce you.

This is Tom.

He likes you.

I don't like cats.

How about a drink?

Coming right up.

Franck, not so loud, please. Mom maybe asleep.

Is it you or your mom who bores into the chairs'?

You have something to celebrate?

You could have offered me...

Honey!

You don't drink usually.

It's a special occasion.

- Franck, anything? - No, thanks.

- It's a pleasure to meet you. - Me too, ma'am.

- Sophie talks so much about you. - I hope so.

Although it depends what she says.

You have no worries on that score.

Sophie tells me you're a gendarme.

And I really should be going.

Do you have to, so soon?

Yes. I get up at 1:30 tomorrow.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Sorry about my mother barging in.

That's okay.

She's charming.

Sometimes, I'd happily sedate her.

Let's have dinner sometime.

- I don't eat dinner. - Really?

Only lunch.

I'm always hungry, but I pile on weight when I eat,

so I stay hungry.

Won't you make an exception for me?

If you insist.

I insist.

- Chantilly? - Sure, get in.

Thanks.

I have to hitch because I just failed my test.

For the fourth time.

My name's Melissa.

Paul.

What do you do?

- I'm with the police. - You're a cop?

You're kidding me?

No.

What are you investigating?

You've heard about the nut shooting random girls?

Shit, you're working on that?

Amazing!

It's just a job.

You'll catch him soon?

Soon.

You know who it is?

We have a list of suspects.

Look.

You carry a gun on you?

Can I see it?

It's against the rules.

I'd love to see it.

Have you ever shot anyone?

Three times.

Is it okay through the forest? Less traffic.

Sure.

Do you feel safer now?

Feels weird, just holding it.

Want one?

What are you doing?

Going to hurt you.

- Hold on... - Shut up!

Shut up!

Don't scream.

Please, don't scream.

Don't look at me.

Fear Grips Oise County

He kills girls without touching them. What's he get out of it?

Maybe he hates women.

Blow a gendarme to bits because you hate women?

Don't expect these loonies to be logical. He's a perv.

Get me a list of escapees from mental hospitals.

Sure.

You think he's one?

It's worth a try.

If I catch the sicko, he won't see the asylum again.

Pisses me off.

What?

Chasing these guys like hunting dogs.

You've lost me.

The bastards always call or write in,

but we never nail them before the next killing.

You want the cops to beat us to him?

I didn't say that.

Just it's a pain in the ass.

Anyway...

I need a leak.

Who wants to hold it?

- You want to destroy morale? - What do you mean?

Listen up.

Doing your job pisses you off, fine, but don't demoralize the guys.

- I was kidding. - So shut the fuck up.

- Cool down. - You sap our energy.

We'll collar this guy before the cops but not with you.

I've had my fill of you.

You don't want me as an enemy.

Fuck!

You nutcase!

I prefer rental cars.

I can change whenever I want.

Pull over here, please.

I'll walk the rest of the way.

Thank you, Franck, for the lift.

Sophie, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing's the matter?

You don't like me, so let's forget it.

What makes you say that?

Why would you like me? I'm so boring.

No, it's not that...

I'm just a bit tired.

I'll sleep like a baby.

Babies wake up howling every 2 hours.

So I'll wake up howling every 2 hours.

I'll pick you up one night.

Not from home. It depresses me.

- After I finish at your house? - Okay.

Only if you want to.

I want to.

Thanks again.

Im not seeking to be understood.

My acts are the fruit of a different mindset,

engendered by mature reflection.

I am not of unsound mind,

I am perfectly aware

and in control of my actions.

I know my acts seem monstrous to a public settled in lethargy.

Hypocrisy, selfishness,

indifference, cruelty

form an amalgam typical of mankind.

And I hate mankind.

That hatred turned a calm, sensitive individual

into an unstoppable monster

thirsty for revenge and blood.

I want to destroy and kill at random,

until I am killed.

I am free,

truly freer than any man can be.

Your police and gendarmes aren't warriors.

I am.

I'll kill other girls.

I'll aim for the heart.

If I hold onto a girl's body,

I'll chop it up and spread the bits around cities.

Soon I'll unleash hell.

Shit!

Morning.

Another attack. We nearly got him.

Know what? The cops think he's a gendarme.

Ora cop, but most likely a gendarme.

Could be me, why not!

- Where'd the bastards get that? - The letters.

One of the cops, Giraud,

says a gendarme wrote them.

Our way of describing cars, license plates and so on.

He even asked HQ for access to the schedules of every gendarme,

to see if they coincide with the attacks.

Niel was furious he suggested it and refused.

They're scared we'll get the killer and the glory.

The girl?

In a bad way.

She survived but...

I'd love to go there.

Shitty places. Shitty food.

Come in.

I just received an artist's impression.

Look...

Take it and go door-to-door.

Then check out gay cruising areas.

The cops think he's a gendarme and a fag, too!

You need your revolver door-to-door?

Who's the prime suspect? A gendarme.

I'm being careful.

Afternoon, sir. National Gendarmerie.

Do you recognize this man?

Should I?

Take a good look.

No, sorry. Never seen him before.

Never?

Afternoon, ma'am. National Gendarmerie.

Do you recognize this man?

Thank you, goodbye.

No? Are you sure?

Thank you, goodbye.

I know, you weren't expecting me.

Because of the car.

When I saw a maroon one, I didn't think it was you.

I told you, I prefer rental cars.

That way, I lake my pick.

You're not happy to see me.

You can't come in.

I am in.

I told you, not here. Leave now.

Leave, please!

Calm down, Sophie.

I wasn't allowed in

and now I'm in.

Where are the glasses?

I don't care if your mother's here.

You need to relax.

Want one?

No, drink yours and leave. I'll explain tomorrow.

Here's to you, Sophie!

Woman of mystery.

Mr. Neuhart, may I introduce my husband, Olivier?

How do you do?

The gentleman I work for.

I'm watching TV.

That's good.

- You hoped to hide that? - I don't know.

I wouldn't have played a trick like that on a dog.

It's a rotten trick.

I'm sorry.

That solves everything?

Being sorry?

He was there the last time I came?

I took the risk.

He was in bed, and he sleeps like a dead man.

I am sorry.

I couldn't bear to see you go.

I think I'm in love with you.

I know I love you.

Olivier, he's lost his marbles, right?

Two years ago.

We didn't live here, we had our own place.

One evening, he sat down on the couch

and stayed there for 24 hours.

A whole day staring in silence at the wall.

The hospital did tests.

- Paresis. - Syphilis?

Very advanced.

The doctors said it was too late for him.

Why not have him interned?

We're trying but it's...

It's not easy.

Don't worry, we'll find a solution.

I love you, Franck.

I think you're wonderful.

We could go out one night.

If your mother looks after him.

She often does.

Or we leave him at the movies while we go out.

Have a good evening.

- Sophie, it's Franck. - I was asleep.

Look...

Are you...

Are you infected?

Did you get tests when you found out what he had?

You mean, did I catch anything? It's nice oi you to ask.

Well, did you?

No. I don't know why, but no.

I did every test you can imagine.

Sorry I woke you, but I had to know.

Where does he sleep? Olivier?

In the back room, why'? You don't think...

Just asking, that's all.

Okay, hurry back to bed.

Sleep well, sweetheart.

Have no fear.

Thank God for the ass-bandits! More women for us.

Look! Is that a salami he's holding?

Hey, Auzier,

don't you have a degree in faggery?

You idiot.

It's like my sister's dog.

I'm sure he's queer.

Jeez, I'm starving.

You're not hungry?

Big Brother calling.

Stolen car at the station. Bomb unit on the scene.

Go and see if the killer shows up.

There's only 1 car, it'll be him.

You'll be relieved tomorrow morning.

Car 355, copy.

Great, hanging around all night in a parking lot.

What about us?

You go to bed.

See you.

Bunch of jokers.

Fuck, I dozed off!

Don't worry, I didn't touch you.

Damn.

The bomb guys have bailed?

I need my bed.

I bet we're wasting our time.

I feel okay, but if you want,

we could take a break, two hours maybe, then come back.

I dreamed you said that.

Shall we do it?

Shit!

I'm screwed.

We have to stage a chase.

What?

You got a better idea?

No, you're right. Let's do it.

Quickly, before anyone notices.

Base to Neuhart. What's going on?

The car is getting away. He's driving like crazy.

Don't lose sight of him. I'll call for backup.

Copy that.

He's going too fast for us.

Repeat.

He's at the rail bridge.

Try to stick with him!

Whatever you do, don't lose him.

- Shit! - Whit?

We've lost sight of him!

You can't see the car'? Where is it?

We've lost him.

Are you receiving me?

I repeat, we've lost sight of the car.

Are you receiving me?

Fantastic, Neuhart!

Gendarmes saw you while you were in radio contact.

There were no other cars.

You have behaved like gangsters.

You bring dishonor on the unit.

If I were you, I'd resign.

In 16 years, I never saw anything like it.

I requested an internal inquiry.

Commander Niel refused, so we don't all look like idiots.

You are very lucky.

From now on, I'll use my private vehicle

at night to check on your patrols.

Clear prints. We'll nail the bastard.

I called to speed things up.

They'll place him in an institute this summer.

And I filed for divorce.

Thank you, Franck.

You've helped me get a grip.

I need a normal, happy life.

I'm sorry I didn't do this earlier.

It can't have been easy. And it was very unselfish of you.

You think you can put up with me?

Of course I can.

I love you.

Really?

You want a slap?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm so happy.

It's no reason to finish the wine.

Sorry.

After my divorce, if I asked you to marry me,

would you say yes?

Yes.

Say it again.

Yes, I want you as my wife.

Okay, baby?

Morning.

Can I take a shower?

If you want. There may not be much hot water.

I'll be quick.

Won't be a second.

- Lavender. Want some? - No, thanks.

It's all-purpose.

Hardly surprising you stink for miles.

How do I look?

I don't like make-up. It's for hookers.

Come on.

Having regrets?

I don't talk much in the morning.

I won't take it personally, last night...

You were very turned on.

Yeah, sure.

Very turned on.

You love me, don't you?

You're the sweetest,

nicest man...

A "nice" man is one with no balls.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Are you angry with me?

Should I be?

You're acting strange. Did I say...

For Christ's sake!

Stop sobbing and sniveling! It's disgusting!

I'm not angry, I'm driving you home.

Will I see you tonight?

No, not tonight.

When?

You know what?

Should I drop you here or outside the madhouse?

I won't say I enjoyed it.

- I didn't. - That's all you have to say?

- Perfect. - Have a good day, sir.

Never remember the bastard's face.

He'd better hope I don't catch him.

Bullshit. You're phonies, all mouth no action.

You'll slap him, then give him to the cops.

- Want a bet? - Sure.

Cut that out.

I gave Lacombe my word. If we find him, don't shoot him!

Is that clear?

Coming out to play?

Bruno!

You okay? It's me.

Let's go for a ride.

Up from, it's more fun.

- Okay? - Yeah.

This is yours now.

What?

Here. It's yours now.

I'm entrusting the forest to you.

You have to earn it. It's hard work.

Clean up when people come,

destroy any animal traps you come across.

Are you okay?

Don't I look okay?

Here...

What for?

I don't need it.

- I won't be around for a bit. - How come?

I'm going away to work.

Overseas.

Don't tell the folks.

You didn't see me, okay?

Major Lacombe speaking.

I'm coming with two detectives.

See you in 30 minutes.

Evening.

Hi there, Nono.

- You okay? - And you?

Good to see you. We missed you.

- Well? - Look.

No kidding.

And there.

- Does it hurt? - Not much now.

Don't you worry,

when we nail him, you can settle scores.

He'll get his head chopped off.

Boys, I have to go.

Detectives Jacob and Giraud are on my back

about checking everyone's schedules.

Niel just caved in.

So, Franck and Yves, the usual routine.

Check the IDs of all the faggots cruising the Old Road.

Yes, sir.

Nono, help yourself.

Guys,

I got the full sandwich range.

Ham, cheese and palé.

I'm on a starvation diet.

- You're on a diet? - Sure.

- Is it working? - I don't know.

I constantly feel dizzy, so I guess it is.

You get any beers?

Do bears shit in the woods?

Look in the trunk.

- I'm cold. - Cold?

You're kidding me? The warmest January ever.

Even so, I'm cold.

Shit, I am cold to the bone.

You look frozen.

Go that way, will you? I want to see the forest.

And show you guys something.

Okay.

You can stop right there.

Stop.

The lights. Kill the lights.

Good, we've got a headwind. They won't catch our scent.

They come by around 1 o'clock, to drink in the castle moat.

How do you know that?

I come to sleep out here.

You're putting us on?

I bring a sleeping bag,

pick a spot under a tree and gaze at the stars.

I see them go past.

Always bang on time?

No, but...

Around 1 o'clock. They're nocturnal animals.

You're nuts.

They smell anything, up to 300 meters away.

Nono, I hope you got a shower,

or we'll never see them.

Look!

See them?

The doe in front is barren.

The barren or sterile doe always leads.

Any danger, and she's killed,

it's alright, she's sterile.

Smart, isn't it?

- It's crazy. - The buck's a 14-point!

Beautiful!

It's crazy.

Great, I wanted you to see it.

In winter, herds often top 30 deer.

30? Crazy!

Shit!

We've got a call.

To all units, too.

Reception's crap here.

I repeat.

To all units...

Ali patrols to base for a briefing on an anti-Gypsy operation.

Fuck, it's Niel!

Evicting gypsies at 1 a.m.

What a joker!

Is everybody involved?

The whole Company.

Pass me the machine gun.

What's wrong, Franck? Are you sick?

I haven't felt too good all day.

You're pale. You've caught a bug.

You okay?

We're the first here.

Carpentier, Nono, get some sleep. We don't need you.

Neuhart,

where are you going with that? To war?

Leave the artillery in the car.

Move it!

In the main hall.

Thanks.

Sir!

Evening.

Grab him.

- What's going on? - Cuffs!

What are you doing?

- Hold still. - Got him?

Hold still, Franck!

Let me go!

Let me go, dammit!

Keep still, will you!

Are those cuffs on?

Let me go!

Get his fingerprints.

- What are you doing, sir? - Taking your prints.

I haven't done anything.

Are we good? Let's go!

Take his prints now.

What are you doing, sir?

Neuhart, you know the routine.

Okay, give me your hand.

Sir, I need to know...

What is this?

- What's going on? - Shut up!

Is it you?

The prints on the fake plate are yours.

You're a disgrace to the Gendarmerie.

Showing one diving knife.

Is it yours?
