Got a smoke?
- Thanks.
- Have a good night.
It feels so good.
Sarah, don't lie down.
It isn't very clean.
Let's get to work.
You've really never been
in there before?
No. I've only ever seen reception
and your office.
Can I see the armory?
And an interview behind the glass?
This is work experience,
not police college.
Please, Dad. I'll be good.
I could join a team.
Drug squad? Vice?
Easy does it.
Let's start at the beginning.
Don't just stick me
behind a desk.
There could be a solution.
The SLB.
- The Special Liaison Brigade.
- The SLB? No way.
- Not my daughter.
- The guys who do mad stuff?
Go and wait in my office.
I'll sort it out.
The SLB? Jean-Paul!
What does she want
from this experience?
"An immersion
in the realities of police work."
Doesn't she see enough
of that at home?
It was her idea,
and I thought it was good.
Not anymore?
It may not look it, but I'm careful
not to bring my work home.
Now, she'll be left
to her own devices.
Don't worry. Nothing will happen
to her in the SLB.
Kids are tougher
than you think.
Excuse me.
One-nil.
Well done, grasshopper.
Captain Briard.
Hello, Captain. It's Stéphanie.
- We've got a body.
- Homicide?
I don't know.
Dejax isn't here yet.
The body was found in the Rhône.
Some students tried to revive her.
Her name is Anaïs Mederos.
She's 24. Medical student.
Time of death was 5:24 am.
How can you be sure
of the exact time?
She called the emergency services.
They recorded
her last moments.
Very well.
CAPTAIN SHARIF
DIAGNOSIS: m*rder
She wasn't in the water long.
Less than an hour.
Was she knocked out?
Hard to say if it was before
or after she went in the water.
It doesn't take much.
A passing boat,
a blow from a propeller.
Why didn't she sink?
- Her clothes trapped the air.
- Like a buoy.
- No sign of her phone?
- Probably in the water.
The emergency services
made the link with the call.
The current could have taken
her to Givors or Grigny.
Stéphanie, can you get the photos
from the party?
Sharif and I will...
What's he doing now? Sharif?
Captain?
- Aren't you interested in this body?
- I'm more interested in the k*ller.
You heard Dejax, it could
be an accident, or su1c1de.
- We'll listen to the recording...
- It's m*rder.
Come on.
The blood from the wound
was washed away.
But there are traces on her collar.
It coagulated. She was hit.
Then she fell in the water.
She was knocked out,
so she didn't dive in.
She wasn't in the water long,
so the crime scene is nearby.
Upstream.
Whoever finds it
gets let off the paperwork?
We didn't say
accessible areas only.
DAD OFFICE
Mind your business.
I don't need any help.
Captain? Is that you?
Baudemont! Really!
I've been here three hours!
Don't move!
Baudemont being here
cancels the bet.
What bet?
Never mind. Tell Stéphanie
I found the crime scene.
Shall we listen to the call?
Police. How can I help?
Hello, my name is Anaïs.
Hello? Miss?
She rang the emergency services
but didn't seem in a panic.
She wasn't expecting
to be att*cked.
No, but there must be a link
between the call and her death.
She calls
- rather than going for help.
- Someone stops her and kills her.
- We need to know what she saw.
- Maybe the blood isn't hers.
Maybe.
- Who are those two?
- Hugo Clarin and Manon Lessueur.
They also went to the party.
You take the Doc,
I'll take Mrs Doubtfire.
We were celebrating
the end of our exams.
The end of your studies?
A year of revision.
12 hours a day.
Hardest year of my life.
Did Anaïs find it hard?
Working alone was hard for Anaïs.
- Were you friends?
- Not really.
She used to revise in the library,
as did we sometimes.
- And that went well?
- Yes and no.
We didn't get on that well.
She drove us on.
She was obsessed with the exam,
and very gifted.
The relationship problems,
was that to do with Hugo?
Anaïs was pretty.
No. I'm not jealous.
Anaïs isn't Hugo's type.
What is Hugo's type?
Less uptight.
Not little miss perfect.
Anaïs was upper class.
Her father has a construction
business, near Lille.
She was always calling her mother.
You need the support
of your parents.
I went back home to live.
I didn't have to worry about eating,
or housework. Just revision.
And Anaïs and Manon?
Manon pretty much lived there.
Anaïs just came over to revise.
Was she behaving strangely
at the party?
She was stressed.
She talked a lot about the exam.
I just wanted to forget about it.
We'd talked of nothing else
for a year.
- Can I ask you something?
- Please do.
Did she commit su1c1de?
Why do you think that?
Anaïs was anxious.
Fear of failure?
She wanted to be a radiologist.
Like Hugo's stepfather.
Only the best get to choose.
Her results meant everything to her.
- But not to you?
- Yes.
She went too far.
She took sleeping tablets
and things to boost her memory.
I want to succeed too.
I've sacrificed a year of my life,
but not my health.
We need the autopsy
to find out what she was taking.
Without the call, I'd think
it was su1c1de or an accident.
Two-nil.
Captain Briard.
What?
OK.
A break-in at Anaïs's.
Not where you'd expect
a CEO's daughter to live.
It's the financial crisis.
Captains.
The neighbours heard a noise
and came down.
They didn't rush,
since it wasn't their place.
The bedroom was emptied,
but the thief left this behind.
Any description?
He had a blue Honda Civic.
Stéphanie is getting statements.
Anaïs's textbooks. No wonder
he left them, they weigh a ton.
k*lled in the night,
burgled in the day.
Whoever came knew she wasn't here.
- Why take it?
- My name's Kader, not Sherlock.
Although...
That must be her mother.
See those tower blocks?
That's Montessuy, 10 km from Lyon.
Not the kind of place
a CEO lives either.
- Her father?
- Yes.
Anaïs lied to the other students.
Her family don't live in Lille,
and they're not rich.
No.
You took the piss!
- What?
- The Special Liaison Brigade?
You insisted!
I thought it was a team
that went out in the field.
- Sort of.
- I spent the morning sorting bins!
Is that what you want?
It's good that you want to learn,
but you're only young.
There are things you can't do.
We'll put you in personnel.
- Is there nothing else?
- Sarah!
OK. Personnel, then.
Go and see Doucet.
He'll take you.
Mrs Mederos? Captain Sharif.
I'm the person who called you.
Come with me.
We'll go somewhere quiet.
Unbelievable!
Since her exams,
Anaïs has been different.
I thought it was a backlash.
She went through a rough year.
Were you two close?
She's my only child.
You said she was different.
In what way?
She called me less often.
Do you think
she was hiding something?
Yes.
That's normal at her age.
She had started to argue
with her father on a regular basis.
Over nothing.
What work do you
and your husband do?
I'm a cleaner.
My husband's a machine operator.
- And you live in Montessuy?
- Yes.
Your daughter claimed
you lived in Lille.
And that your husband
was CEO of a large company.
I don't understand.
Why did she do that?
I don't know.
Was she ashamed of us?
- Did she have any enemies?
- No, no.
Do you know anyone with
a blue Honda Civic?
Yes. My husband.
Why?
Thanks, Baudemont.
They've found the father.
He was supposed
to be in Grenoble,
but hasn't been there all week.
No sign of his car.
They're looking for it.
He lies to his wife,
burgles his daughter.
- What?
- You don't look happy.
You haven't had a go about...
Interview witnesses where you like.
You don't want my opinion.
What can I do?
Deny you TV? Spank you?
Spanking sounds good to me.
So, Doc?
What have you got?
The victim was taking sleeping pills
and anti-depressants.
She had been drinking,
but not enough to lose control.
- The blood on the ground?
- Hers.
- So it's m*rder.
- Yes, miss.
She was k*lled, and her body
thrown in the water.
No. She had water in her lungs.
She drowned.
She was alive
when she hit the water.
Well?
A spanking?
Why am I here?
My daughter has been k*lled.
And you're arresting me?
How did you find out she was dead?
- My wife called me this morning.
- In Grenoble?
You broke in to Anaïs's flat
and took some of her things.
My daughter is dead.
I have a right to her things.
Don't I?
Yes, but why break in?
You were in a big hurry.
Where's your car?
You haven't been to work.
Where were you?
Mr Mederos, we need your help.
- Did she hate you?
- What?
She was now an independent woman.
- Your wife was in contact.
- What?
Fathers are all the same.
What annoyed you most?
The provocation? The silence?
Her success?
Your wife told us
about the arguments.
Arguments?
You were close to hitting her.
You wondered why you'd done
so much for her all those years.
I loved my daughter.
I wanted her to succeed.
But not at any price.
What do you mean by that?
What do you know?
Why did you go to her flat?
- You rarely fly off the handle.
- It might happen again.
- Mederos's bills?
- Yes.
Car park near the hospital
where Anaïs worked.
And a restaurant near her place.
The same all week.
- He was following her.
- Or was with her.
Sharing one meal?
Well spotted.
Aggressive, impulsive and resentful.
We need to know what he took.
There was nothing at home.
It must be in his car.
He's not going to tell us.
There may be another way.
Sharif speaking.
Yes, Sir.
She's on 27. I'll put you through.
It's the Chief of Police.
Your father.
Sorry, she's not there.
Can I take a message?
No message.
What's the date?
29th?
So, your idea for finding
- the car?
- Come on.
- You're letting him go?
- Baudemont?
- Which channel?
- D.
- Have I missed something?
- Come on.
Captain?
We're the other side of town.
The car must be nearby.
Scooby Doo to Sammy.
Do you see the target?
Sammy to Scooby Doo.
We have the target.
- Over to you.
- Received.
Police.
Can we see your licence please?
Thank you.
It looks in order.
- Spare tyre?
- Of course.
- Where?
- In the boot.
Can I see it?
There. Satisfied?
- Everything all right?
- Fine.
Leave me alone!
Don't touch that!
You've got no right.
I can touch a bag
on a public highway.
"Delighted to have met you.
Thanks so much."
"Can't wait to see you again.
Had a great time."
Happy now?
Anaïs was a prost*tute?
We found her crying several times.
My wife said it was stress
due to the exams.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
I knew it wasn't that.
I tried to talk to her about it.
- Was that last week?
- No, before.
I thought she had money problems.
Students get very little.
Didn't she get a grant?
She's an only child.
We didn't meet the criteria.
It's stupid.
- Was it money problems?
- No.
I called the bank.
They said everything was fine.
There were no entries
for 4 months, but before,
there were regular deposits.
Around 2,000 euros a month.
- In cash.
- That made you suspicious.
Yes.
I tried to talk to her about it.
She became angry.
That was the argument.
I wanted to understand.
I called the shop where she said
she worked part-time.
She hadn't worked there
for 3 years.
So you followed her all week.
I saw her with a man
in a restaurant.
He was my age.
He kissed her.
Touched her.
She let him.
He could have been a boyfriend.
He had a wedding ring.
And I just knew.
When I heard she was dead,
I went round to hers.
It was true.
My wife mustn't find out.
Or anyone else.
That's why I took her things.
Please. Promise me.
That will be difficult,
Mr Mederos.
If the k*ller was a client,
we need to investigate.
A client?
- Really?
- We don't know.
It's just a lead.
That means if she hadn't slept
with him for money...
she'd still be alive.
If I could have paid
for her course...
- Make some room.
- What?
Make some room, please.
Thanks.
What's the matter?
I'm talking to you.
And? Are you going to go on
about respect for others?
You knew I wanted
to do the work experience.
I never lied to you.
You got these ideas about bodies,
crime scenes, tailing people.
That is your job.
I'm not stupid.
It's different.
It's my work.
I thought my work experience
was to learn about your work.
I ran a search based on
certain notes left by clients.
They thought Anaïs was called Lisa.
So I went to her website.
She made sure to stay anonymous,
no face.
The phone number on the site
is a pay-as-you go.
The e-mail is not
her personal one.
- E-mail exchanges?
- Yes. It's surprising.
Adeline?
You know, if...
If you need to talk to someone,
I'm here.
Anaïs worked rarely.
- She was lovely.
- She had dozens of requests.
She did only one or two nights
a month,
- and not always with sex.
- Who were her clients?
Rich and educated.
She selected them.
This could be our winner.
- Napoleon?
- A pseudonym.
Anaïs stopped working to revise.
He didn't like it.
Oddly, they knew each other.
How come?
He calls her Anaïs, not Lisa.
He even knows where she lives.
He threatens to reveal her
double life if she breaks it off.
And Napoleon's real name?
No, but in an e-mail 2 years ago
he gives his mobile number.
It belonged to the Edouard Herriot
hospital's phone system.
I found the bills.
It was Professor Bériet's phone.
- Does he still work here?
- He's head of radiology.
He won't be here yet.
We'll wait. Thanks a lot.
Sarah's giving me problems
over her work experience.
She's disappointed, and so am I.
- Did she expect dawn raids?
- At the very least.
She's barely 14.
And there's me.
Would you want your daughter
to see you in action?
- It depends.
- Exactly.
It depends.
When something's on my mind,
I talk to my partner.
Very subtle, Sharif.
It's him.
sh*t!
- Drop it!
- You k*lled my daughter!
Drop it!
He's nuts! Dammit!
Are you OK?
Can you stand?
Why didn't you tell us about Bériet?
And wait years for a trial?
- He k*lled my daughter!
- We don't know that.
How did you find out his identity?
She was with him the night
I saw her. I followed him.
When you said it was a client...
Do you know what you're risking?
Your wife lost a daughter, too.
You think she wants you in jail?
Did you have relations with her?
- Did you give her money?
- I don't have to tell you my life.
We were lovers.
Obviously I lent her money.
I read your e-mails.
If you know, then why ask me?
Because I'm charging you
with m*rder.
Rubbish! I loved her.
I wouldn't harm her.
You never threatened her?
You know I did.
I did not want to lose her.
You thr*aten to expose her,
but she threatens you in return.
You have no choice.
I've nothing to say.
I was with my wife when she d*ed.
You think I'll stop there?
How often did you say
you'd leave your wife for her?
At least she had the sense
to take your money.
Don't sully our relationship!
Talk, or your name's
on the front page.
I'll ruin your life
like you ruined hers!
Go on, make it worse for yourself!
Well?
She's dead. What do I care about
my life, my work, my money?
- I don't give a damn!
- Forgive me
- for thinking more of her parents.
- I swear I didn't do it.
Let's start again, Mr Bériet.
How did you meet her?
I heard about Lisa
on a specialist forum.
She rarely worked,
so I tried my luck.
Later, I realised
- she was a student.
- You admit being a client.
Yes... No! She soon stopped
wanting my money.
We had something.
I couldn't stand her seeing others.
Is that why she ended
your relationship?
- No. It was because of Hugo.
- Hugo Clarin?
My wife's son. I told Anaïs
about Hugo and Manon's group
and how well it worked.
She started revising with them.
She came to the house every day.
She met my wife, my daughter.
- Fantasy became reality.
- She was an honest girl.
She couldn't stand it.
- Why did you see her 2 days ago?
- As the exams were over,
I thought we could start again.
But she ended the meal.
I don't know why.
You heard nothing more?
I knew she wanted
to tell me something.
I'll never know what.
Please, Max.
Check his alibi.
He has a double motive.
Infidelity
and protecting his reputation.
If the wife and son knew
about Anaïs, they had a motive.
- Where do we start?
- The son, Hugo.
Sarah, what are you doing here?
Was it him who k*lled the girl?
Will he go down?
In theory, no. He told the truth.
And you have no business here.
It was like you wanted to destroy
him or make him hit you.
It's part of my job sometimes.
- Harassing an innocent man?
- A suspect!
That's what he was at first.
This is a m*rder
and the culprit is at large.
- That makes it OK?
- Of course not.
But you don't catch a m*rder*r
without taking risks.
I'd rather it was easier,
believe me.
I never saw you like that.
Nor should you.
This is no place for a 14-year-old.
- Fifteen.
- Same difference.
- You OK?
- The work experience is a bad idea.
Fancy leaving her unattended!
It's a disgrace!
A police station
that's open to anyone!
Stop it!
There's a glitch
between the Doc and Mrs Doubtfire.
Hugo, can we talk?
- I'm about to go on my rounds.
- It'll only take 5 minutes.
What was your stepfather's
relationship with Anaïs?
They met at home
when we revised. Why?
- Professor Bériet...
- She knew your mother, right?
Yes, but what's that to do
with her death?
How was she with her?
What are these questions?
Anaïs worked hard, that's all.
I don't know if it helps,
but Anaïs lied.
Really?
About what?
Her origins.
Her father isn't a company director.
How did you find out?
One of her friends,
a small-time dealer.
An aggressive guy
from her neighbourhood.
He was hitting on her.
He was at the party that night.
Why didn't you say so before?
I thought
it was an accident or su1c1de,
not m*rder.
What's his name?
Jérémy. Jérémy Colet.
He lives in Montessuy.
OK, you can go now.
Thanks for not mentioning
Bériet and Anaïs.
Why are we protecting him?
It's Anaïs's memory
we're protecting,
as her father asked.
I know you don't like it.
I don't like intrusive fathers.
You mean me and Sarah?
No, I was thinking of mine.
Sorry if you misunderstood.
Did he call you again?
He hasn't called me
since my brother d*ed.
Today is the anniversary
of his death.
It's his fault he k*lled himself.
I've got the guy's address.
Jérémy Colet.
He was at school with Anaïs.
Not gifted. Charged for
drug possession but no record.
I hope it leads somewhere.
I checked the Bériets' alibi.
They were at a conference.
Quickly, please.
Hello. Captain Sharif.
What happened?
- Overdose.
- Will he recover?
Not sure. He took enough morphine
to k*ll a horse. We may be too late.
Let's go!
Call the hospital.
- Was he alone?
- No, the boy over there called us.
Thanks.
- Sharif?
- Yes?
I found a wallet.
It's Jérémy.
- Did you know him?
- Will he die?
I don't know.
How was he when you found him?
He wasn't moving.
He was drooling.
I've seen junkies,
but that wasn't him.
- How do you mean?
- He smoked, but never injected.
I found a mobile.
It could be Anaïs's.
- Do you know this girl?
- A girlfriend of Jérémy's.
- Did he talk about her?
- Totally. He was crazy.
Some deal they'd made.
- What kind of deal?
- I don't know.
- OK, thanks. Goodbye.
- What did the hospital say?
Colet's in a coma.
They don't know if he'll wake up.
If the mobile we found is Anaïs's,
the case is practically closed.
Except for the motive.
Why did she want to turn him in?
dr*gs.
He was a security guard for AT-ST,
a payroll firm.
I doubt he bought his car
out of his salary.
It's from a hospital. Maybe Anaïs
stole dr*gs and he sold them.
It doesn't add up.
Prostitution was a sacrifice.
I doubt she'd handle stolen goods.
What about AT-ST?
Stop. Look, they work
for the Education Department.
What are you thinking?
Captain Sharif, Lyon police.
May I speak to the director?
Captain Sharif. Your website says
you work with the Education Dept.
In what context?
What about medicine?
Thank you. Goodbye.
They transport
the medical-exam papers.
Jérémy's team was in charge
of the papers.
A week before the exam,
they're counted.
A copy is opened by a bailiff
and destroyed.
Jérémy must have copied it.
He sells it to Anaïs,
who will pass her exam.
We know what their deal was.
Jérémy faces ruin if she squeals,
and he kills her.
Maybe they had history together.
- What if his overdose was su1c1de?
- I don't know.
Something doesn't fit.
If she denounced him,
she denounced herself.
She'd sacrificed so much...
Here is Jérémy Colet's phone log.
His car
was re-registered 3 weeks ago,
but it wasn't sold.
- It was given away.
- Pardon?
- By whom?
- Hugo Clarin.
- Bériet's stepson.
- Her revision buddy. Thanks.
Anaïs didn't buy
the exam papers, Hugo did.
Anaïs found out
and wanted to turn them in.
- Hugo led us to Jérémy.
- Did Hugo drug him?
If so, he's finishing the job.
Don't move!
Hugo, come with us. We know about
the exam papers and Jérémy.
Did he k*ll her, then?
I doubt it.
You did.
- What?
- We checked his mobile.
He called you right before
Anaïs d*ed.
I swear it wasn't me.
I didn't even have my phone.
I had no pockets.
I gave it to Manon.
She spoke
- to Jérémy, not me.
- Hugo, the neurologist asked me...
Good timing.
Time for a break.
We're taking you in.
After you, miss.
I was afraid she'd turn us in.
I thought that by talking to her,
paying her, I don't know...
She'd keep quiet.
- But she refused.
- She didn't have time. I wanted
to talk to her at the party,
but I didn't see her
before they found her in the water.
I swear I didn't k*ll her.
I took advantage
of the exam papers, too.
But I didn't have Hugo's mobile.
I was at the party. I learned
about Anaïs when everyone else did.
I don't know
where Hugo and Jérémy were.
Anaïs knew you were cheating.
She mentioned it a few days earlier.
We denied it.
She had no proof.
Hugo thinks you can solve
things with money.
- And you don't?
- No, I wasn't brought up that way.
And how were you brought up?
When you learned it was a m*rder,
what did you think?
I thought it was Jérémy or Hugo.
Why didn't you tell us?
Because I thought the same thing
would happen to me.
How did you know Jérémy was
at the party if you didn't see him?
He told me the next day
when I told him Anaïs was dead.
He couldn't believe it.
He'd seen her at the party.
You say he tried to call me,
but Manon took the call.
Did you tell Manon?
No, she's been avoiding me
for two days.
I swear it wasn't me.
That's why I gave you Jérémy's name.
I thought it was him.
Even if it meant
you'd know about the cheating.
I couldn't live with Anaïs's death
on my conscience.
Hours of questioning
and no progress.
I got Jérémy's bank accounts.
He can't have k*lled Anaïs.
He was filling his car
at the other end of town.
So it's either Hugo or Manon.
There's no way of knowing
which one k*lled her.
- There's the recording.
- We've listened to it.
No voice, no unusual sounds.
What would they do
in your cop shows?
"Mission: Impossible",
season 6, episode 10.
Barney Collier deconstructs
a recording to identify the k*ller,
finds the detail
that solves the case.
The lab's done it.
If there was anything, we'd know.
We have the call, the blow to her
head and the whistle. Nothing else.
Nothing else?
You're right! That's the answer.
Come on, we need to see
the photos of the party.
This is the closest I could find.
You were wearing these during
the party when Anaïs was k*lled.
Can you put them on?
Now we listen.
Police, how can I help?
My name's Anaïs.
Miss?
Nothing.
No noise.
If Hugo had hit Anaïs,
we'd hear the bracelets.
But there's nothing.
No, nothing.
So it's Jérémy, then.
We know he'd already left.
You hit her from behind.
You meant to k*ll her.
No.
I just wanted her...
not to call the cops.
I didn't want to hurt her.
I swear it's true.
When I saw her on the ground,
I thought she was dead,
so I threw her in the water.
You k*lled her?
And Jérémy?
You drugged him.
You hid Anaïs's mobile in his car.
I didn't want to hurt her.
I'm sorry.
Gilles, number two, please.
Mr Mederos.
It's over.
He confessed?
It wasn't Bériet. It was a student
cheating at the exams.
Anaïs was going to turn her in.
She k*lled her for that?
So it wasn't because of her work?
No. It was about the exams.
Even if you had given her
more money,
it would have changed nothing.
Here. We found this
at Anaïs's flat.
I thought you'd like to have it.
Gilles, can you see him out?
Doucet wants to see you.
It's about Sarah.
Come in.
Sit down.
Did she understand
I want her to stop?
See for yourself.
She has to hand in a report.
I asked her to take notes
every day so we could discuss them.
"Being a cop means always walking
on the edge of legality,
"because you have to deal
with those on the other side."
"If the end doesn't justify
the means,
justice merits a few deviations."
Read the last one.
It's my favourite.
"In the end, everyone is alone
with his responsibility."
She has a real gift for observation.
She catches on fast and well.
She knows you're fair-minded,
even during questioning.
You knew about that?
Kader, it's my station, after all.
Yes. I'm glad you liked it.
No, I'm outside in the car.
Can you join me, please?
I know it's late.
It's an order from above.
What's going on?
Another of your jokes?
You wanted to see
a cop's life at night.
I warn you:
no bodies, no crime scenes.
Just some special places.
- My places.
- Really? Did Doucet ask you?
"Everyone is alone
with his responsibility."
- Can we put the siren on?
- Let it rip.
Hello, Dad? It's me.
