Do you have a cigarette?
No. Sorry
Running really clears out the lungs
Yeah. it feels good
Are you happy now, you dirty whore?
SERIES CREATED BY ALEXANDRA CLERT
CHILD RESCUE ALERT TUNE IN TO 107.7 FM
Stop everything
Traffic police have spotted Jaulin's car. I've said not to pull him over
- Why not? - Because Jaulin is ours, Berthaud
What's your problem with the boss?
He's pulling out all the stops
It's the least he can do. We work flat out
You're so harsh
He did set up the Child Rescue Alert, after all
He won't do anything for nothing
I don't trust him
Hi Chief Inspector Berthaud Did you see the Mitsubishi?
We tailed the car but we lost him
Are you joking?
Don't worry. He must have stopped at the services
We have people at the Chamant tollbooth and the exits
Was he alone or with a child?
Alone, I think. But he was far away
We'll set off. Where did you lose him?
At Villeron services
OK
Laure here
They lost him
If he's alone, he's killed the boy
You don't know that
Everyone, get off at Vémars Est services. I repeat, Vémars Est
Tom and Nico, keep watch by the exit
Copy
- Was it a people carrier? - A Mitsubishi
- it's Grey - OK. Nothing over there
isn't it the one over there?
- No? - I can't see it
There, look
- Look over there - 261 MAX 94 - that's the one
Go, go, go!
- Is it the right number plate? - Yeah
It's locked
it's warm
We'll hide until he comes back
No?
No. JP, you wait out here. We'll check inside
You check the cafe I'll search the shop
Check over there. I'll stay here
No sign. We'll check the loos
Stéphane Jaulin?
Police. Turn around
What do you want, you fucker? Let me go, you bastard
Laure
Give me your arm. Give me your arm
Hang on. Not in front of my son
Don't be afraid. We'll take care of you
Don't worry, Léo
I'm not hurt. it's just a game
- Get up - We won't hurt him
- Don't worry - Gently, in front of my son
Up you get
Gently, for fuck's sake
My son is over there! Stop it
- Don't worry - Get up
I want to be with my son. He's only four
- This is illegal - Watch your head
it's 10:30am and you are hereby under arrest. That's legal
You don't have to say anything, but you may contact a family member
You are entitled to a doctor's visit and legal representation
Stay with him
- How's the boy? - Fine
- The courts will find a foster home - But he has grandparents
They don't know the family situation. They won't take the risk
- OK. You and JP can take him - Yes
- I'll see you back at base - OK
Let's see
Do you know why we're here?
My wife and I aren't divorced. She can't dictate when I see my son
Do you think this is about custody?
Then why are you here?
- Let's discuss this down the station - Discuss what?
What's going on?
- Don't you listen to the radio? - No
You're wanted for questioning
Sandrine and Lucie are dead
What?
Your wife and daughter are dead
Did they have an accident?
We don't know all the details yet
Prosecutor, if I may...
Give me a couple of minutes
I wanted to tell you that Stéphane Jaulin has been arrested...
at the motorway services in Vémars
- The child? - Safe and sound
He's being taken to a foster home
I expect the father to confess soon
Perfect. That's perfect
I'm having lunch with the Attorney General, so I'll let him know
Would you care to join me?
I can't. I'm meeting with the widow of the policeman who was run over
On that subject, I met with the police unions earlier
To be honest, they're extremely nervous
Since the start of the year, attacks on officers have increased
They want swift action, to set an example
Tell them they won't be disappointed
Your career is on the up
A case like this will get your face on TV
He chose me because I'm the only one he knows
How does it look? Are you sure it's him? Any other leads?
Do you want to see our file while you're at it?
However, I will say that if I were you...
I'd advise him to talk
Well, you're not me
That's just my advice
We don't have much time. We need to decide if you should talk or not
This is a nightmare. This can't be happening
If you're guilty, say nothing until you meet with the judge
Once charged...
we'll see what evidence the police have and decide how to plead
What can I say? I didn't kill them
OK. I believe you
In that case, you must talk. But you must not lie
If a question bothers you, just don't answer it. OK?
They'll ask you about everything - your finances, your sex life..
They'll be hard on you
Shall we give it a go?
Take a seat
Why were you on the motorway?
I went out to buy some fags
I left Léo in the car, asleep
The police were at the hotel. I thought my wife had sent them
- You fled over a custody dispute? - I don't know
I didn't know they were dead
That's hard to believe, too
It was all over the news. Sandrine's picture was on TV
I didn't listen to the TV, or radio. I don't keep up to date
Look, they'll know if you're lying
I'm not lying. I'm not even allowed to see them
- Calm down - it's not right
I last represented you for assault
I advised you to confess and you agreed
Your suspended sentence was a good outcome
We need to go. Telling the truth is often the best defence
I am telling the truth
Very well
Let's go. Chin up
Let's talk about where you were on Saturday, the day they were killed
What time did you pick up Léo?
At 11 o'clock
I parked in front of our house. Sandrine brought Léo out
We talked a bit and I left
And it was then that she lent you her debit card?
Yeah, because my account was empty
And the 2,000 Euros in cash at the hotel? Where was that from?
I do odd jobs for people..
Plumbing, painting, everything
But you still asked to borrow her card?
She offered. I didn't say no
Why were you estranged from your wife?
We weren't estranged. We needed space. Things were improving
Yeah. These things happen
We found these drawings in Lucie's bedroom
Did she usually draw stuff like this?
No. That's not like her
You picked up Léo at 11 o'clock on Saturday. Then what?
- Straight to the hotel? - No. We ate at McDonald's
Then we went to the park, then back to the hotel
When was he supposed to go back?
That same evening
But I wanted to keep him with me as long as possible
- Do you want one? - Thanks
Do you have a computer at home?
A PC
- Is it a laptop? - Yeah
It has a sticker of a bee on it. Lucie stuck it on there
What's on it?
Don't you know what's on it?
You don't have to answer
There's music, TV series...
Why?
The trouble is, all we found was the power lead
Where's the computer?
My client hasn't been home in weeks. He can't answer that
OK. We'll take a break
I think he's lying to us
No tears, an answer for everything...
What do you mean? We ask him questions and he answers
Yeah. But if someone hurt my child I'd be bereft
I wouldn't be able to speak
Just forget it
Why? Because I don't have kids I can't understand?
- Stop it. He didn't say that - Hey, can say something?
It seems to me you're going about this the wrong way
He's not some hardened crook
There's no point spending hours softening him up
He's a Norma guy who's done something abnormal
- So what do we do? - This guy is ready to confess
Let's stop beating about the bush and go for him
That's what we're going to do
So far, we've just listened. Now, we bring out the big guns
Do you know what?
We'll do it together
Come on. Let's go
DON'T FORGET TO LICK MY BOOTS
The text messages you sent to Sandrine..
"You're a whore. You'll be sorry. You don't deserve your kids"
- There are pages of them - it's out of context
I told her I loved her, too
- What does "You'll be sorry" mean? - I was angry. apologised
On 9th September your wife reported you for returning the children late
"Late" in relation to what? There was no formal arrangement
And it was just Léo
INCOMING CALL GYNAECOLOGIST
Why always just Léo and never Lucie? Why not both of them together?
There wasn't room for her
Sandrine's mother says it was a question of preference
She says you didn't love your daughter, just your son
That's inappropriate in the circumstances
OK. Then we'll ask Léo
- You can't - We'll ask whom we like
- He's four - He's old enough to talk
Are you scared what he will say? Did he see his sister die?
This is unacceptable
Was he there? Did he see what you did to his mum?
- Say nothing. We're done - No. it's over when I say it is
I thought you had something concrete
Maybe I haven't told you everything
Besides some texts and a half-arsed attempt to run away...
what do you have?
If his alibi is confirmed, let him go, or I won't be happy
if his alibi is confirmed, let him go, or I won't be happy
I met my husband when he was 19
His dad was a policeman, too
it's a fine vocation
He was a ways proud to wear the uniform, Your Honour
But he wasn't a cowboy
He got on with young people, spoke to them...
His colleagues were Ike family
They were with him when he died
They told me he didn't suffer. Is that true?
He passed away very quickly, according to the autopsy
Mrs Sanchez...
I'd like to tell you how the case is advancing...
but I can't, because you chose not to file a civil lawsuit
No. I trust in the justice system
- You're making a mistake - Really?
Yes. The outcome is never guaranteed
if you want justice to be done, seek representation as a claimant
- Do you think so? - Absolutely
You will also be able to claim compensation for damages
Oh, no
Talk to a lawyer. They'll tell you what to do
I'm sorry that I don't have more time for you
Thank you. I hope I didn't bother you too much
It was no bother at all. I wish you all the best
Look who it is! Ms Karlsson
You know the ins and outs of the courts
Would you kindly explain to Mrs Sanchez...
where she needs to go to be assigned a lawyer?
I was just going there. Shall I escort you?
Thank you very much
LaureBerthaud here. You Ca led me
I'd like an appointment with Dr Mariotti, please
Next month? No, it's an emergency
A termination
I have a question about that. Can I...?
Yes. I'll hold
Next week?
Is there nothing sooner? Can't you squeeze me in?
Is there nothing early morning or late afternoon?
Well, 11 o'clock it is, then. Thank you
The little boy is here
hope you remember your stint in Child Protection
- We need him to talk - if he doesn't, I'll hit him
So, Léo...
How old are you?
Four years old?
- Is it nice, where you're staying? - Yes. There's even a pool
If there's a pool, then it must be good
Do you know why you're there?
Right now, we're in the room of secrets
And in the room of secrets you can say anything
Look at me
You can say anything in the room of secrets
There's nothing to fear. We're here to listen
Is that your family?
Daddy...
Léo...
Lucie and Mummy are dead
- What does it mean to be dead? - Don't you know?
- They've snuffed it - That's not nice
- I know lots of bad words - So I see
How did they die? Were they sick? Was it an accident?
I don't remember
What about your daddy? Do you love him? Is he nice?
Except when he's angry
What happens when he's angry?
He shouts and does stuff
What sort of stuff?
- I can't remember - You can't or you won't tell me?
I can't remember
When did he last get angry?
My cuddly toy...
Has Lucie got her cuddly toy? She gets scared without it
I think we'll stop. He's tired now. He won't tell you any more
Here you go
Fucking hormones
That's got nothing to do with it
it's that little boy
He's all alone
And we're ruling his life with our questions
We're just doing our jobs
But It was a waste of time. We got nothing out of him
Maybe he simply didn't see anything
You were really good, though
- You have a way with kids - Yeah
Oh, yeah. I'm great with kids
You're an idiot
Maybe it was too soon to question the boy. We'll try again
Jaulin has an alibi, Your Honour. It checks out
The hotel employee saw them arrive at 6:15pm
They didn't leave their room before he left at midnight
This gentleman has a very precise memory!
Did you track his phone?
It puts them in Villepinte all night
He may have left his phone there while he killed his wife
I did think of that. But maybe we jumped the gun
You don't usually give up this quickly, Laure
What about the girl?
Did you get the lab results? Do we know how she died?
No. Not yet
What do we do about Jaulin?
We let him go for now, but we'll tap his phone
- Fine - We'll see
Sign there. You're no longer in custody
Your lawyer's downstairs. He came to pick you up.
You're to stay in the area. If you go anywhere, let us know
- Do you understand? - Yes
Could I see those drawings you found in my daughter's room?
It looks like the sort of stuff Sandrine's brother does
She has a brother?
Yes. Olivier
They don't look like a child's drawings
They're like floating bodies
Well, we won't keep you any longer
- Where is her brother? - Sainte-Anne's psychiatric hospital
Her brother's at Sainte-Anne's
Didn't her parents tell you?
- Didn't her parents tell you? - No
He might not even know about Sandrine and Lucie
If journalists call, refer them to me. OK?
Do you have mates you can stay with?
You shouldn't be alone, Stéphane
I'll be OK. I just want to go home
Your house is sealed off due to the investigation
it could take over a year
You can get your things, but only under police escort
But I didn't do anything
That's not all - the police still suspect you
Be careful what you say over the phone
If you need anything, get in touch
I just want to see my son
He's all I have left
He must be wondering where I am
I'll ask the judge for custody tomorrow. it should be quick
The worst bit is that the police are right
never cared for my daughter the way I care for Léo
We had her too soon. I didn't want her
She had breathing problems as a baby
One night, she was in hospital
I was watching her, asleep in her cot
And I prayed she wouldn't wake up
I wanted her to die
It didn't last long, but the feeling was so intense
I didn't want her then, but now...
This morning, with the police, my mind went blank
For a second, thought that it might be true..
That I killed them and don't remember
Try to get some rest. I'll call you tomorrow, first thing
I love nurses. They do something to me
- I don't like them at all - Really?
Watch out. Watch out
- I need a coffee - Sorry. I don't have time
Buy me a coffee
- Buy her a coffee, you cow - Shut up
- Chief Inspector? - Yes
- Hello - How are you?
I'm Dr Cottet, the consultant
- We'd guessed - I'll call you back
Can we question Mr Delorme?
Yes. I'll put it in writing
Was he told about his sister and niece?
Yes. But he showed no reaction. That's usual with schizophrenia
But he loved her
She helped him when his parents had him committed
- Did she visit him? - Every week
She managed to calm him down. He can be very difficult
He pushed a woman in a pond in Vincennes yesterday
Did you hear that?
I thought the same thing. But he was here all day Saturday
We checked
But you let him go to the park?
There was little risk of his attacking anyone
That's why we let him out
Why aren't you in your room, Mr Delorme?
Mrs Charnier said I could come here
Go back to your room and talk to these people
- They've come about Sandrine... - I won't. I'm free
You can't take away my freedom. This is the land of human rights
We can question him here. We don't mind
Go ahead
Hello, Mr Delorme
- Where were you last Saturday? - Do you have a cigarette?
Just answer the question. I'll get you a patch
Your patches have bugs in to spy on me! I was home on Saturday
You were here
I was at home. I had a wank
I closed the shutters because there were Nazis in the street
Where's home?
His parents pay for a flat in the 14th arrondissement
- He wasn't there on Saturday - Arrest me. I don't give a fuck
Well done, the police. Sarkozy's little coppers
- Sarkozy has gone, pal - Don't touch me
Calm down, Mr Delorme
I don't want to calm down
Don't drug me or I'll sue you
What's going on? This isn't the circus
Mr Martini
- Take Olivier to his room - Don't drug me or I'll sue you
- Calm down, Olivier - I'll sue you
Can we continue in his room?
He's very agitated
Maybe it's his way of reacting to his sister and niece's deaths
Come back tomorrow. We'll sedate him
- Is his flat in the 14th? - Yeah
Perhaps the local police know him
Ask them if they've seen any Nazis
I'll get his parents in
It's weird they didn't mention their schizophrenic son
Shit. it's 11 o'clock
Can you go back and do the paperwork? I can't
Oh, yeah, the..
The abortion, Gilou
I'm a grown-up. I call a spade a spade
May I?
Of course, Pierre. How are you?
- Fine. And you? - Fine
- A coffee, please - Coming right up
We were nearly on the same case
Why "nearly"?
I let him go but I haven't finished with him
The police had no evidence. It was all supposition
Sorry, Pierre. Don't take this the wrong way, but...
No one seems to respect confidentiality any more, but I do
So you'll understand that I can't discuss the case
Don't sulk
Tell me how you are. What's new?
The chairman thinks I should run for the Bar Council
For the Bar Council?
Does he think highly of you?
I think so, yes
He's sending you to the slaughter
Do you want to try some?
- It's very good - No, thanks. I'm not hungry
Your Honour
I was looking for you
- Ms Karlsson - Hello
Mrs Sanchez has appointed me to represent her
Wonderful. We can get started
- Do you have a moment? - Yes
Come with me. I want to show you something
- Marianne - Hello
Ms Karlsson
Here. I just received this
Here are the results of the analysis of Kevin Lesueur's car
Read the conclusion
"The outcome of my investigation into the vehicle..
Basically, he confirms the police report
- Will you demand a second opinion? - I have already
Funnily enough, it's impossible..
Because Mr Lesueur's car was sent to be scrapped by mistake
- What are the chances? - Nothing the police do surprises me
Don't mistake a few bad apples for the whole organisation
Was an examination carried out on the police car involved?
No. Why?
Look
- There - Yes
That
- It's a shadow - No. it's a dent
Yes
No. I don't see it
Look here. It's clearer. There's a dent in the bonnet
- Yes. You're right - We have a lead
We'll have the car examined
- I'll do the paperwork - Thank you
Good
Really good
I can see that you don't deserve your reputation
Well, spread the word. People aren't queuing up
Unfortunately, I don't have the right contacts
Ask your friend Pierre
if they want him for the Bar Council...
he must know the right people
Yes. I'll ask him
I'll keep you informed
This'll be a bit cold
There we are
When did you last have a period?
I don't know
Two months ago, maybe three
Didn't that ring an alarm bell?
Was in a bad way. I thought it was just that
What was wrong?
Had lost someone
- Are you sure you want an abortion? - I'm sure
I've seen lots of women your age regret it afterwards
You could take your time. Think about it
I have. And I don't want a child
It's my right
What's the procedure?
Will I be in hospital long?
The problem is, you're at 15 weeks of amenorrhoea
Meaning?
It's too late for a voluntary termination
I can't help you
So, is it a boy or a girl?
Tell me
Can't you give me a break? I mean...
Delorme's parents are here
We didn't mention Olivier because..
, as he's in hospital, we didn't think...
Anything related to Sandrine and Lucie is of interest
Did they get on well?
Yes. Sandrine was very protective of him
She wouldn't accept his illness
She blamed us when we had him committed
But we couldn't keep him at home
When was that?
Sandrine was in sixth form
Olivier just stayed in his room
He wouldn't wash, eat...
He wouldn't eat the food we took him
He let it go mouldy under his bed
He said that we were inferior and we soiled everything we touched
Only Sandrine was allowed in his room
What is your son's relationship like with Stéphane Jaulin?
They've met at family meals, but that's all
Stéphane always spoilt those dinners, anyway
He'd have a drink and that would set him off
He'd start having a go at us about one thing or another
- We didn't deserve it - What didn't you deserve?
For Sandrine to bring home a man like him
We did warn her
- But she always did what she wanted - Stop
And look at what happened
That bastard changed her. He took her away from us
She even shouted at us once
Our pride and joy, and that's how she thanked us
Would you rather she'd had an abortion?
Don't you love your grand kids?
How do you feel, Mr Delorme?
I miss my daughter and my granddaughter
And I think Stéphane is the bastard who did it
That's how I feel
All we have left is Léo
We'll fight to get custody. He's not getting him
The lab has sent the results. Little Lucie drowned
Where?
The canal. The water in her lungs proves it
So she was alive when she was bound to her mother?
Alive but not conscious
Look at the last page, Laure
Zopiclone?
It's a hypnotic agent used in sleeping pills
She was drugged and chucked in the water
The sleeping pills were a thoughtful gesture
This was someone who didn't want the child to suffer too much
A father, for example
- What about Jaulin's phone calls? - Nothing so far
We're looking at Sandrine's brother
He was let out yesterday and tried to drown a female jogger
We're checking he didn't leave the hospital on Saturday
He'd have escaped to go and kill his sister and niece?
We're thinking that Jaulin may have had an accomplice
it could have been him
What do the parents say?
Not much, except that they hate their son-in-law
Your Honour, I have information regarding the car
The police car? Go ahead
it was hard to get hold of them
For now, the car can't be examined
It was damaged by a chair thrown from a balcony
Yesterday, it was sent to the garage for repairs
- One disaster after another - Shall call them?
No. Absolutely not. We'll pay these fine men a visit
Don't waste too much time on the brother
The priority is the father. Work on him
- Did you find the computer? - Not yet
Well, then. The computer and the father are your two priorities
Shall we go?
We work for all the departments. We don't just fix cars
We do handcuffs, bulletproof vests, wheel clamps, the lot
impressive. Do you have everything you need for the job?
Impressive. Do you have everything you need for the job?
We're always understaffed
But the garage is never the first priority
Hamid
Where's the Mégane from yesterday?
I finished it earlier
- Is this it? - Yes
Are you sure this is the one?
Yes. You can check the serial number
Well done
That's quick work, considering how understaffed you are
Can I see the parts you replaced?
Yeah
Excuse me
Well?
Well, what?
What's it like, having lots of kids?
- You're suddenly interested? - Yeah
Well, as you can see, I'm in no hurry to get home
- Is it that tough? - It'Is not easy
Christine and I argue all the time. She says I'm never there
When I come home, she just nags. I can't take any more
Why not ask for a transfer to a rural squad, with less pressure?
Yeah
With your years of service, your injury and your four kids...
you'd be a shoo-in
Are you being serious?
For fuck's sake! You want to get rid of me
Don't be like that. I was thinking of you
Well, I'm off. I'm knackered and I start early tomorrow
- Do you want a lift? - I'll finish my drink
- Can't you put that down? - Shut up
- Put it down. I'm taking you home - Stop it
You're being really arsey
I didn't finish my drink
- Gilou! - You really are a pain
Do you mind if I make myself at home?
Do you still want to know how it went?
I thought my questions pissed you off
I've passed the time limit. I can't have an abortion
Guess what he had the nerve to say
That I'm lucky to be pregnant at my age
What will you do?
Go to Holland, like everyone else
This may sound stupid...
but...
if you were to keep it...
I could help out
- We could raise it together - What?
I'm not suggesting that we..
Just that we get a flat together
You wouldn't have to cope a one. I could give you a hand
I could help with money and things like that
Like the nappies?
Don't take the piss, please. I'm being serious
I'm not taking the piss
I'm touched. I didn't know you were so paternal
See? Things change
Sami's death got me thinking
What's it all for?
We go home at night
We're all alone
We watch TV
it's meaningless
I want something to build on
Do you see?
I see
I won't have a child to cure your boredom
if you want a child, get a proper girlfriend
Just so you know, I've already eaten
- You should have called - I wanted to surprise you
Don't you have something to tell me?
What are you on about?
When did you plan to tell me about the Bar Council?
Roban told me
I haven't made my mind up yet
So...? Will you accept?
Roban thinks I stand no chance of being elected
Is that what he said?
On the contrary. You're perfect
You're nice and middle-class
You have contacts and experience
And they like criminal lawyers...
especially with Jaulin's case in the news
Can you really see me on the Council?
Yes. But it would piss me off
Are you afraid I won't drop by any more?
No. I'm afraid I won't see you at all
That won't happen
Did you get me a miso soup?
I thought you'd eaten
Wow!
Doing exercise, not drinking...
You'll ruin your reputation
Do you know what Lauresaid to me last night?
She said I should get a transfer
She doesn't speak to me for weeks, then she tells me to leave
No...
What's the matter? Is there something I don't know about?
She's having trouble getting over Sami's death
Me, too. But I'm not nasty to everyone
She'd better stop having a go at me, or else
I'll talk to her
- And say what? - I'll talk to her, I said
Lads, I rang the station in the 14th arrondissement
Delorme's well known. He pisses everyone off
Do you want to hear the best bit?
On Saturday, a film crew was by his flat
Were they shooting a film?
They were dressed as German soldiers
That's good
So, on Saturday, Delorme wasn't at the hospital
- The day his sister was killed - See?
- Goodbye - Goodbye
Excuse me, Your Honour. I'm defending Léo Jaulin's father
I was about to call you
- Come in - Thanks
Why is Léo still in care? My client has been released
- That's not the problem - But he hasn't been charged
Léo's grandparents have made a request for custody
Really? On what grounds?
They maintain that Mr Jaulin poses a danger to their grandson
I'll send you the file
I have to say, their evidence is convincing
My client has lost his wife and daughter
You can't do this to him
The child's interests are my only concern
I shall summon all parties before making my decision
Very well. Thank you
I'm pleased you're here. I'm sick to death of this tenant
We've been complaining for months
- What has he done? - You'll see
I'm starting to understand
- Oh, God - Is there a stiff in there?
That's horrible
That's enough. Christophe, break the lock
Shit
Do you still need me?
Sorry, sir, but the law says we need two witnesses
- Gilou! Gilou! - Oh, shit
Help me
Shit
Oh, this is horrible
Fucking hell
They're down my neck
Shit
- Gilou, please! - I don't like them, either!
Fuck. I'm going to puke
I know it's a pain but you have to check every bag
if you find papers, a mobile or anything unusual, give us a shout
Can you help me move the fridge?
One, two, three
Give me a knife
This is weird. What is it?
What's so funny?
Lads! Bingo! it's Jaulin's laptop
- Are you all right? - Yes
it was in a freezer for a few days
- Would that damage the files? - It shouldn't do, no
But the hard disk has been formatted
I'm not sure I can recover anything
I hope you can
I'll see what I can do
