04x07 - L'Ankou

[bunniefuu]

Hey, the party's over, buddy.

Good heavens, this is a mess.

Astrid.

Astrid!

Astrid!

- You are shouting. Did you hurt yourself?
- No, I had a nightmare.

- Good.
- You think it's good I had a nightmare?

I think it is good
you did not hurt yourself.

Go back to sleep.

In order to sleep,
you have to close your eyes.

Raphaëlle.

All right. Niels, I must leave.

Only I cannot leave because you are here
and I cannot leave you alone.

I am responsible.

You know, Mom had to leave sometimes too.
She just called for a sitter.

A person of trust.

Do you know a person of trust?

- I was afraid I'd woken you up.
- Niels had a nightmare.

Right! He's at your place, of course.

Niels sleeps at my place one night a week,
on Tuesday night.

The night after I come eat at your place.

Who's watching him then?

A sitter. A person of trust.

You're Astrid's mom, aren't you?

Yes dear, that's right.

You knew Dad well.

A long time ago, yes.
I knew him very well.

Can you tell me about him?

I think
you should talk about him with Astrid.

I'm not sure.

You don't want to?

Come on, time to sleep now.

It seems to be the m*rder w*apon.

There are multiple impacts,
as if he was hit relentlessly.

And the last blow hit the artery,
here in the thigh.

(Breton)

(Breton)

Yeah, ma'am, I can confirm he's dead,
very dead, that's for sure.

You speak Breton, Fournier?

I'm from Botmeur in the North Finistère.
My mother only spoke Breton.

(Breton)

I got "Kouign Amann" but I must be wrong.

She said she saw Ankou.

- What's Ankou?
- It's the symbol of death for Bretons.

He usually appears as a skeleton

with a large hat
and a scythe fitted backwards.

Of course! Well now, I have a description.
We can launch a wanted notice.

- Hey, hey, hey, wait!
- Something wrong?

She's right.

- He's already dead.
- Yes. You already said that.

He is dead, very dead.

No, no, wait, you don't understand.

The victim here, is Erwan le Treach.

Le Treach family? The industrialist's son?
But it's…

- The problem is he already d*ed.
- Yes, two years ago.

- Thank you for coming.
- You're welcome. How are you?

Honestly, I'm good.
The last results are comforting.

The cancer was found in time.

The doctor is optimistic.

I will have to follow
a rather heavy medical protocol,

which my current detention conditions
don't allow me to follow.

I have to go to
a specialized penitentiary center.

In Toulouse.

- For how long?
- Six months for starters, maybe more.

Your brother
will go to live there with Niels.

sh*t!

After everything I've done
to get Astrid and him closer.

How will she take being apart from him?

Honestly, I'm more worried about her
having to give up

on a ritual
she had a hard time installing.

But Niels not being apart from you
is the priority.

It's not your fault.

Will you talk to her?

I came as soon as I saw your message.

- Did I miss anything?
- minutes.

The DNA analysis confirmed that the man
found m*rder*d in the Breton bar

is indeed Erwan Le Treach.

You can't die twice.

So I asked the DA for an exhumation order.

Because, if you really found
Erwan Le Treach tonight,

it means
there's someone else in his coffin.

What if there's no one in the coffin?

Maybe it means
that he's back from the dead.

You'd better not start with that!

Last night was Halloween.

Well she's right, Commissioner.

Halloween is inspired from
Samhain Night in Celtic culture.

It's the night when the door between

the realms of the dead and the living
is open.

Thank you.

- Remind me how Erwan Le Treach d*ed?
- Charred in a car accident.

So this guy is not Erwan Le Treach.

But he's charred all right.

He would have d*ed in a car accident
two years ago?

There is a body of consistent evidence
telling us

that this man
did not die in a car accident.

He has a large wound on his throat, here.

- Couldn't he have got it in the accident?
- No, she's right.

The wound necrotized
long before being exposed to fire.

And here are other traces of decomposition
prior to the burns.

Meaning?

Meaning Lieutenant Nielsen is right:

this guy was dead
for at least a week when he b*rned.

It's confirmed.

The body was b*rned post-mortem.

And the medico-legal report indicates

the victim d*ed
following a larynx perforation.

It doesn't match with a car accident,
he was stabbed.

So he was stabbed,
then his body was put in a car

to disguise his m*rder as an accident?

Well, it sure looks like it.

And since Erwan
disappeared at the same time,

we can assume he's the one who k*lled him

and used this accident
to fake his own death, right?

But the stranger we found in the coffin

couldn't have disappeared unnoticed,
right?

Fournier is clear:
the coroner who identified the body

has a problem with his eyes.

The body we found inside the coffin
is of a year-old man.

He has an artificial hip joint,
signs of arthrosis.

- It's impossible to mistake it..
- Impossible indeed. Keep digging.

There was no investigation.

The National Gendarmerie

immediately concluded
that this was a traffic accident.

Erwan Le Treach
lost control of his vehicle

before crashing into a tree
and catching fire.

One Gendarmerie report
and a death certificate.

- Is that all?
- And three photographs. Yes.

Raphaëlle, it is not quantity
that makes an archive's worth,

but it's content.

Sometimes, a -page file
contains no relevant information.

And sometimes, a short document contains-
- A nugget.

I was thinking
of a precious piece of information.

Precious, like a nugget. A gold nugget.
It is a figure of speech.

Look. Here.

- Gwendal Leroux.
- Yes.

It is the name of the doctor
who identified Erwan Le Treach's body.

- When it was an old man's body.
- Yes.

Fournier says
he couldn't have made a mistake.

If he didn't make a mistake,
then he lied.

What were they both up to?

My condolences, Mrs. Le Treach.

"My condolences."

I heard it so much two years ago.

Did your husband have any trouble
when he disappeared?

No.

But admittedly before his…

His first death,

he wasn't all right.

The role they wanted him to play

was too big for him.

The role?

It was Loic's death, the eldest son,
that changed everything.

He broke his neck
falling down the stairs years ago,

and when he d*ed,
Erwan became the family's elder.

And suddenly,

his father
who always treated him like trash,

pressured him to become
the head of the group.

Couldn't he tell him to get lost?

Nobody tells Christian Le Treach
to get lost.

What's the meaning of all this?

Excuse me.

Erwan faked his own death?

- Mr. Le Treach.
- That's me, yes.

- For now, we're not sure.
- I am.

Erwan is a coward.
Sounds like something he would do.

Your son was m*rder*d last night.

I'm sorry.

Do you know the pain
this masquerade caused his mother?

She, who already lost a son?

Not to mention his twin sister,
the poor girl almost didn't get over it.

Dad.

- Are you sure it's Erwan?
- DNA analysis confirms it, yes.

Then, who d*ed two years ago?

That's exactly
what we're trying to determine.

Did someone close to you

disappear at the same time
as your brother?

A man, around years old?

No, no. Not that I know, no.

- Gwendal Leroux, do you know that name?
- Yes, of course.

He's our family doctor.

I'd rather
you asked your questions to our lawyer.

This time, he will be buried in Gwadmeur,

in the family vault.

You know Erwan wanted
to be buried in Montparnasse.

I don't give a damn what he wanted!

Yann!

I found information of the
utmost importance about Gwendal Leroux.

Yes.
Astrid, we'll talk over there, okay?

Gwendal Leroux, the doctor.

He also works in the diagnostic department
at Saint-Louis hospital in Morlaix.

Yet, at the time of Erwan's fake death,

the hospital mortuary department reported
the disappearance of a donated body.

- A body disappeared?
- Yes. It is quite common, Raphaëlle.

In most cases, it is more of
an administrative logging issue

than a real disappearance.

That is why
no investigation was conducted.

However, here is a description

of the body of this missing person.

Albert Kergoat, years old,
had a hip replacement,

d*ed from a larynx perforation
following a farm accident, well, well.

This is a body of consistent evidence

seemingly indicating that this is
the body found in Erwan Le Treach's coffin

during the exhumation.

I found the body.

According to Fournier, it really was
Albert Kergoat's body in the coffin.

The cause of death matches.

He wasn't stabbed
as we previously thought,

but he had trouble with a harvester.

How about the doc
who identified him as Erwan Le Treach?

Either
he's complicit in his disappearance,

or he's a suspect in his m*rder.

Or both.

A local gendarmerie squad
went to apprehend him.

- Hello Commander Coste.
- Yes, hello officer.

Are you with Dr Leroux?

I am,

but he's not available right now.

Yes, Gwendal Leroux, doctor in Gwadmeur.

According to the gendarmerie,
this is a su1c1de, Mr. District Attorney.

Sure enough, but Mr. Leroux could be part
of an investigation, and we would need to…

Very well sir, we'll wait for
the Rennes gendarmerie to reach out.

No, no, no.

Hello Mr. District Attorney.

Commander Coste.
I'm fine, and you?

Yes, I do know where
Finistère is on a map of France.

I know it's not in our scope.

Sir, hear me out,
we absolutely need to go to Gwadmeur.

Because Erwan Le Treach's fake accident
occurred there.

Wait,
one of the family's brother d*ed there,

the victim's mother and twin sister
still live there,

not mentioning Dr Leroux's recent su1c1de.

Yes, but he…

He's a suspect in Erwan Le Treach's death.

Sir, if you prevent us from going,
we're gonna waste valuable time.

And I know you don't like to waste time.

Oh yes, my team is ready to go, yes.

We can be there as soon as tomorrow.

Understood sir.
Thank you sir, thank you.

There.

- When you said your team was ready to go…
- Fournier.

We'll need him,
and he knows his ways around there.

- And you were thinking about Ms. Nielsen?
- Yes.

I'm sure she can be ready quickly.

Good.

Strictly impossible.

On Thursday,
I must go to the social aptitude workshop.

I never miss a session.

I know,
but maybe you can make an exception.

For once, one exception.

On Tuesday,

Niels comes to sleep at my place.

But we'll be back by then!

Raphaëlle,

you cannot guarantee it.

The file.

I know I'm asking a lot from you.

But this case is very complex,
and it'll need us to be together.

Please.

Raphaëlle, strictly impossible.

Not Brittany.

It's an unexpected move.

I give up.

Bravo, Astrid.

Want to go for a drink?

Maybe when you get back?

Very well.

Nico, you ready?

We have our escape game at PM.
If we're late, we'll lose the slot.

Don't go too hard on the mead.
I heard it makes you fall backwards.

- Enjoy your trip!
- You too. I mean, enjoy...

Enjoy your trip.

Yes, Astrid.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

I know it's late, I'm sorry
to bother you at this time but I…

I needed to talk to a friend.

May we talk tomorrow in the car?

- You're coming to Brittany?
- Yes.

That's great!
I'll come pick you up tomorrow at AM.

AM, understood.

Great.

Great.

So?

What made you come in the end?

I am facing an enigma.

And I will need your help solving it.

You can count on me, I'm all ears.

Last night,

I b*at Tetsuo in a game of go.

That's your enigma?

It is what happened next.

Our fingers touched.

Ah?

Yes. I think it was some sort of caress.

- No!
- Yes.

Suddenly,

a fact that I had never thought of before
struck me as being incredibly important.

I never did bim.

What?

I never did bim.

Raphaëlle, you braked rather abruptly.

- Yes.
- One must not brake abruptly.

Yes, sorry, I'm sorry,
but I didn't expect such a revelation.

You thought I already did bim.

I don't know, I never wondered.

I didn't expect you
to talk to me about it now, like this.

Here's Fournier.

Perfect timing.

Hey ladies!

I'm so pumped up for this trip!

So are we, Fournier. So are we, yes.

I can't tell you how long it's been since
I've left Paris for more than half a day.

A six-hour road trip, it'll go in a flash.
We'll have a lot to talk about.

That's some deep sleep back there.

Dr Fournier's belt is unfastened.

It is dangerous.
One must fasten their seat belt.

Dr Fournier is snoring. It is unpleasant.

Do you think
what I felt for Tetsuo yesterday

can be likened to desire?

I can't confirm it,
but it looks like it, yes.

- It is bothersome.
- Bothersome? Why?

Because I feel it is something

irrational.

So it is something
that could go beyond my control.

Okay. So… How can I…

You know Astrid,
desire can't be controlled.

It is chosen.

And it's a path you're allowed to
wander on, to cherry pick on.

And if you don't want to climb aboard
Tetsuo's boat, don't feel compelled to.

If you only want to pick flowers,
you can only pick flowers.

Wow! There.

Pick on flowers. Tetsuo's boat.

Raphaëlle,

I do not understand
anything you are saying.

Yes, of course.

What I'm trying to say is…

You're allowed to take your time.

If Tetsuo loves you and respects you,

He'll understand the time you'll need.

I can't whistle.

Hello, we're looking for
Dr Leroux's medical office.

- Take the next right.
- Alright, thanks.

DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Hello?

- My umbrella.
- Leave it here, I don't know.

I don't think anybody's here.

Hey oh!

Hello?

What's all this? Who touched the body?

The village elders wanted to hold a wake.
It's tradition.

Well, that's a shame

because the criminal police tradition
is to not disturb a crime scene.

It's not a crime scene, it's a su1c1de.

Well, Marie, Hélène, Jean,

come back later for the wake, okay?

- The Paris Police are in charge now.
- Well yeah!

Don't push yourself, boy.

Nothing can be done for him.
He's already dead.

Well, it's precisely my area of expertise.

Sorry, I told them to go.

They're a bit stubborn, here. You'll see.

Ronan Meur, I'm a warrant officer
at the gendarmerie in the village.

We talked on the phone yesterday.

Since my accident, I'm on phone duty,
but I used to be a criminal investigator.

I love being on the field.

- Do you know the village?
- Do I know it? Yes, I was born here.

How about Dr Leroux and Erwan Le Treach,
did they know each other?

- Oh yeah, he was his godfather.
- His godfather?

Yeah, they were really close.

Erwan even lived with him for a few years
when his father kicked him out.

Why did his father kick him out?

Erwan was about years old,

and he fought with his big brother, Loic.

- The heir.
- The heir, as you say.

He was a fighter.

He was the one
provoking his little brother.

And as usual,

Christian Le Treach only cared for him,
so Erwan had to go.

- Here. A document is missing.
- Well, it matches.

The signs on the body confirm a hanging.

And I found no traces
of struggles or restraint.

Your guy did in fact offed himself.

Probably because he knew that

Erwan's return could reveal
his complicity.

A document is missing.

In the blue binder on the desk, here.

Report .
Report . Report . Report .

- is missing.
- Yes.

- It must be about Erwan's accident.
- The dates seem to match, yes.

Seems your doc
cleaned up his mess before leaving.

Of course he did.

- You do not have forearms.
- Astrid.

Yes, indeed.

- Lieutenant Nielsen.
- Nice to meet you.

Hello.

- Any progress, Norah?
- Plenty!

I called every hotel around Montparnasse

and I finally found the one he stayed at
four days before his death.

What did we find in his room?

- I don't know. You tell me.
- Forged documents.

With his face and a name. Justin Bélier.

Alright!

With a name, we can now find out
what our friend did for two years.

- Bravo Norah.
- Thanks.

- It was great yesterday!
- Huh?

- The escape game.
- Oh yeah!

I must admit,
I thought escape games were for geeks.

But I had fun, it was great.

And how's your headache?

My headache?

That prevented you
from coming to my place.

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Can we come in?
- Yes.

- Hello.
- Hello.

You brought me another client?

I will have to give you a fee.

But I'm sorry,
I won't be able to take you in.

I'm a little under the weather today,
I got bad news.

So I'm not gonna do a good job.
Can you come back next week?

But Soazig, it's pretty important. She...

- Okay, show me.
- Show you what?

Your burn.

Soazig Le Treach is a fire talker.
She's the best healer of the region.

Maybe next time, with pleasure,
but I'm not here for that.

I'm a police commander.

It's about my brother, isn't it?

Yes.

Follow me.

Thank you.

Look.

Hello, madam.

She's my mother.

She's been like that
since Loic's death years ago.

Nothing moves her anymore,
not even Erwan's death.

She didn't even go to his funeral.

He was my twin.

I've lost him twice now.

He never tried getting in touch with you?

No.

Yet we were so close.

Especially since Loic's death,
our big brother.

It was a real challenge for our family.

I see you have a lot of trophies.

You were a gymnastic
and rhythmic gymnastic champion.

, , .
You were talented.

You know, after Loic's accident,
it was really hard for my family.

We all lost something.

It was gymnastics for me.

Okay! You've really tied up everything.

Yes.
I even aligned the shells with the uterus.

Raphaëlle.

I did not find report .

But we found
Loic Le Treach's death certificate.

- Established by Dr Leroux.
- Of course, he's the town doctor.

But the problem is that
this document is full of mistakes.

What do you mean?

Occipital bone depression
with associated parenchymal lesion

on the right side

and underlying sphenoid laceration.

- I don't get it. Is that a mistake?
- No, not that.

But it doesn't match with the narrative.

It doesn't concur with
a fall down the stairs.

- Are you telling me it's not an accident?
- Exactly.

Yes, Commissioner.

Yes, we are making huge strides
in our investigation.

I only need a tiny authorization,

for another exhumation.

Loic Le Treach.

Nico? I think I got it.

Justin Bélier, or rather Erwan Le Treach,
came back to France two months ago,

on flight MF from Warsaw
on September th.

Warsaw?
So he spent two years in Poland?

Anyway, we can check.

Now I wonder
what he did in the last two months.

I have no trace of him
from his return to France

to his arrival at the hotel four days ago.

How about his bank records?

The bank he was in is rather secretive.

Their computer system is well protected.

Okay, that's good Norah. Keep going.

It will be confirmed by an autopsy
but I'm certain:

the occipital bone is depressed
on the right side

and based on the form of the injuries,
there's no room for doubt.

Could he get these wounds
by falling down stairs?

Absolutely not.

Loic Le Treach was hit repeatedly
to the head with a blunt object.

There is a body of consistent evidence

indicating that
Loic Le Treach was m*rder*d.

At the moment,
it's hard to know what happened.

What we do know is that
Dr Leroux tampered with evidence

to make Loic's death
seem like an accident.

Whereas all points to a m*rder.

So Gwendal Leroux hid Loic's m*rder,

and eight years later,
he helped Erwan disappear.

Exactly.

It's more than possible that
Erwan k*lled his brother.

Why wait eight years to disappear?

I'm pretty sure someone discovered
that Loic's death wasn't an accident.

Anyhow, we learned that
he had been living in Warsaw

under the name of Justin Bélier

since his fake accident,
until two months ago.

We found his home
and many witnesses confirm his presence.

Well great, good job.
Thanks, Nico.

And...

- I can't wait to get back.
- I also can't wait.

- Take care?
- Yes.

You too.

Bye.

What's that? It was in my pocket.

That is salt, Coste.

In the Breton tradition,
it's a sign of a curse.

Stop your bullshit!

No, it's true, he's right.

I'm not superstitious anyway.

Yes you are. You are superstitious.

But it is weird
to put salt in your own pocket.

I did not put salt in my pocket.
Someone put salt in my pocket.

What the hell!

Either way,
it seems we're exposing secrets

not everyone wants revealed.

Well, I don't know about you,
but I'm b*at.

- Can you take us to the hotel?
- Nobody told you?

No.

It's not really a hotel.

But I'll accompany you
or you'll get lost.

- Follow me?
- Okay. Yes, we're following you.

Raphaëlle,
it was supposed to be a hotel.

Well, I'm sure it'll be better.

You brought so much stuff!

Is this yours, Coste?
So all of that is…

Well yes, it is Astrid's.

Here's the old hunting lodge.

The owner d*ed, eaten by his dogs.

So the family
bequeathed the house to the town.

- Come in, make yourself at home.
- Thanks.

Awesome, isn't it?

Do you like it?

It's … it's pretty!

Well, it's a throwback.

Some village folks
say this place is haunted.

Come on, follow me.
No need to take your shoes off.

Erwan was really a generous man.

When I had my accident,
he was there for me,

helped me, supported me.

I don't think he could k*ll his brother.

You told me
he was kicked out by his father, right?

Because he was fighting
with his brother Loic.

But Loic was the one messing with him.

Injustice can be a great motivator.

Maybe, but since Erwan was with Dr Leroux,
everything was great.

He found his peace.

And Soazig?

Soazig is another story.

You know, it's not easy
being the only girl in this family.

You seem close to her.

Yeah.

She's a great girl.

But since Loic's death, she never managed
to fully bounce back.

- What do you mean?
- Well Soazig, she's unstable.

She attempted su1c1de multiple times.

Not even a few months ago.

She's wasting her life. She's incredible.

Did you know she's a seasoned gymnast?

She should have had a career,

left for the junior championship
of Lake Buena Vista in .

But Loic's death broke her.

What was that?

- A door is squeaking.
- Or it's Ankou's cart.

It's your grim reaper.

Not exactly.

Ankou is not exactly Death,
more like his servant.

He works for it.

It is said that the last dead of the year
becomes next year's Ankou.

That makes it more appealing, I think.

It is said that if you hear
"karrigell an Ankou" wheels squeak,

it means he's coming for you.

Ah! Dammit!

You all look tired to me,
I'll show you your rooms, okay?

With pleasure.
Anyhow, this meal was exquisite.

- I am not finished.
- I'll wait for you.

- We'll go ahead.
- Yeah, yeah.

Astrid.

Astrid!

Yes?

- It's me.
- Yes.

Open up, it's Raphaëlle.

Shoes.

Thank you for coming, Raphaëlle.

I'm all ears.

Why are you whispering?

I don't know. I'm all ears.

Fficer Meur told us that
Soazig Le Treach gave up

on the Lake Buena Vista championships
of in Florida

following Loic Le Treach's death.

Yes?

I have checked.

These championships
occurred in April .

Now, look at the date Loic Le Treach d*ed,
here.

- December th .
- Yes.

So, Soazig gave up on the championships
before Loic's death.

Exactly.

That would mean

that something else happened
in this family before Loic's death.

Probably.

The document, Raphaëlle. The document.

Astrid.

I've been meaning to talk to you
since yesterday, but I couldn't.

It's about Anne Langlais.

Anne Langlais has cancer.
She must be transferred to Toulouse.

- You know about it?
- Yes, since I told you.

- Yes.
- Niels told me about it.

And how are you taking the news?
Are you okay?

Toulouse has the best establishment
for Anne Langlais.

It is excellent news
regarding her health prognosis.

It means that Niels will go
live there with his uncle.

Yes, it is logical.

Niels will live where his mother is.

And he won't come see you anymore.

You know that, right?

Astrid?

I did not picture it like that.

Will you be okay?

Yes.

I will finally go back to my daily routine
with a lot less unforeseen events.

Okay.

Raphaëlle, I have not slept
in another room than my own for years.

Look.

- The painting, the lamps.
- You brought your lamp?

Yes, I also brought my sheets,
my pillow, my weighted blanket,

my bath towel.

Only there is no bathtub.

I understand all the suitcases now.

- Raphaëlle.
- Yes?

Could you help me move the nightstands?

Symmetrically please.

Let's go.

So, how do I…
Like that? Like this?

Could you push it cm to the left?

OK, like that?

- Careful with my lamp.
- Yes, I'm careful. There?

Another cm to the left.

Could you push the bed a little, please?
To the right.

More.

There.

Bravo. Thank you, Raphaëlle.

Good night, Astrid.

Fournier!

Fournier! Fournier!

Fournier! Fournier!

- Coste?
- This! What's this?

What's this?

- What is happening?
- I found this in my bed.

Here, in my bed.

Well, it's a coin.
Congratulations, you're rich.

- Can I go back to bed?
- This coin was in my bed.

So someone put it in my bed, Fournier.

Let me see.

Oh yeah!
Someone promised you to Saint-Yves.

- Yves?
- Yes, it's a spell.

You put a silver coin in someone's bed
before they get into it,

then you sing prayers backwards

while walking around Saint-Yves chapel
in Monts d'Arrée.

And the targeted person
is said to die within hours.

You have nothing to fear, Coste.
It's folklore.

You don't believe in any of that, do you?

Look...

When I made my bed,
this coin wasn't in my bed.

This means we're not alone here.
We are not alone.

- Someone is making noises.
- Yes, yes.

I'm gonna get my g*n.
I'm gonna get my g*n.

You heard something.

It's coming from the basement.

- A cat.
- Yes, a cat.

You were right.

We're not alone in this house.

Did the cat put the coin in my bed?

I'm sure there's someone here.

In Breton legends, a black cat is the soul
of a departed guiding the living.

Yeah, yeah.
I had enough of your legends.

I'm sick of it.

Raphaëlle. Here.

A bed.

Watch the glass.

There are a lot of food items.

They are recent.

Raphaëlle. Here.

Justin Bélier.

Oh, yeah.

Justin Bélier,
it's Erwan Le Treach's alias.

It's a letter posted from Morlaix
five days prior to Erwan's return to France.

What, an encrypted message?

You'll have fun with this, Astrid.

We were wondering
where he was for two months.

He was hiding in here.

An enigma.

An enigma.

So Erwan has been seen in Gwadmeur.

- Astrid, you're already up?
- Yes.

You scared me.

I did not get any sleep.

The bed is not m by m.
The mattress is too soft.

And there is wood on the front and behind,
I do not like that.

- Yes, it's not your home.
- Exactly.

Leroux must have been the one
hiding Erwan Le Treach here.

Either way,
this hunting lodge is totally empty.

Minus the cats, yes.

- In the meantime, I decrypted the letter.
- Ah, great!

The encryption used is extremely simple.

You just need to follow the lines
up and down.

Okay. So "Erwan".

Erwan yes, bravo.

"Come back".
Erwan, come back.

- Erwan, come back.
- Good morning.

Any croissant enthusiasts here?

"To Gwadmeur".

You don't seem to realize,

I drove over km
to bring you back this treasure.

Erwan, come back to Gwadmeur.

Erwan, come back to Gwadmeur.

It's time to tell the truth.

- It looks like it's signed.
- Here.

Truth makes me hungry.

- Thanks, Ronan.
- You're welcome.

- Thanks a lot.
- My pleasure.

Hello.

Mrs. Le Treach, you lied.

"Erwan, come back to Gwadmeur.
It's time to tell the truth. Soazig".

This coin here,

you're the one who put it in my bed.

Same with the salt in my pocket.

You did all this to scare us,
to get us far away from the hunting lodge.

You were afraid
we'd found your brother's hideout.

I wanted to help my brother,
it's not a crime.

It is.

Hiding a criminal
is regarded as being complicit

according to article -
of the penal procedure code.

What truth are you talking about
in this letter?

Commander Coste.

There is someone at the window. There.

Soazig,
you have to tell us what happened.

- What did Erwan do to you?
- He didn't do anything.

- I did.
- You did?

I'm the one who k*lled Loic.

Because he was raping me.

Soazig.

What you started is extremely courageous.

I know it's hard
to talk about incest as a victim.

But I need you to tell me.

I need you to go back there

in order to catch Erwan's k*ller.

Especially for Erwan.

It all started when I was .

When Erwan got kicked out of the house.

I think he didn't dare before that.

Loic caught me by surprise one night,

when the parents were away.

He told me he would soon be
Le Treach's household head,

and I belonged to him,

like dad's company.

So, he...

He...

Okay.

How long did it last?

Until I stopped him.

What happened next?

One night, he got more violent than usual.

He grabbed me by the arm,
he kissed my neck,

he dropped his pants
and I couldn't handle it.

So I grabbed a rock and I hit him.

I hit him.

I hit him until he let go.

- And you called Erwan?
- He came right away.

When he saw Loic with his pants down,
his head covered in blood,

I didn't even have to explain.

So he concealed the m*rder.

With Gwendal Leroux's help.

Did Gwendal know…

Did he know what Loic did to you?

Erwan swore to me he'd never tell a soul.

He said he was the one who k*lled Loic.

But Gwendal was a heavy drinker.

One night, two years ago,
he said too much to my father

and he wouldn't let him go.

My father came to Brittany
on October th to meet suppliers.

We wanted to talk to him then,
tell him the whole truth.

That's why Erwan came back.

Why didn't the meeting happen?

Because my dad
didn't have the time to get home.

So we decided to go to Paris
next week to talk to him.

I don't know why Erwan went on his own.
I don't understand.

Thank you.

Christian Le Treach forced
Erwan Le Treach to disappear.

But when Soazig made
her last su1c1de attempt,

He wrote to her telling her he was alive
and that he loved her.

- She asked him to come back?
- Yeah.

She wanted to free him from his oath.

All the signs of incest were there.
How did we miss them?

Because they're particularly hard to spot.

That's why incest victims
are hard to identify, to help.

All those lives ruined by a father
who only thought of his empire.

Do you think he k*lled Erwan?

That's what the phone records from
the lodge in Gwadmeur seem to indicate.

When Erwan was in hiding there,

there were multiple phone calls to
Christian Le Treach's office number.

He was trying to call his dad.

Apart from Soazig, he was the only one
to know Erwan was back.

Thank you.

Here.

I think it's time for a family reunion.

Don't you think it's time to tell
your children the truth, Mr. Le Treach?

About Erwan.

I already told you.
For me, Erwan was long dead.

Since you forced him to disappear?

How far were you willing to go
to assert power over your family?

Hey!
You can't talk to my father this way, ok?

He banned Erwan because he was a m*rder*r.

And if you'd done your job,
you'd know he m*rder*d my brother.

That Erwan destroyed this family.

Did you know, Yann?

I have protected Soazig
as long as I could,

but I have nothing to hide from Yann.

He's my heir now.

I forced Erwan to disappear

with the help of the doctor
who helped him disguise Loic's m*rder.

- He had to pay for what he had done.
- So you still don't get it?

Erwan didn't k*ll Loic, dad.
Do you get it?

What are you saying?

- He confessed it to me.
- He confessed it to protect me.

I'm the one who k*lled Loic.

What?

Loic, your son,

he was raping me.

In your house. Under your nose.

Soazig.

- Don't you dare…
- Dare what?

Huh?

Tell the truth?

Say that the precious son
you raised as an all-too powerful heir

thought he could do anything?

He thought he could just take for himself,
that we were his things!

So yeah, one day I k*lled him.

When you condemned Erwan,
you condemned an innocent man.

Erwan tried to talk to you many times

by calling your office
from the hunting lodge.

From a landline for further discretion.

The calls only lasted a few seconds,
you hung up on him systematically.

But not on October th.

On this day,
the call lasted almost an hour.

That's nonsense!

I wasn't even at my office
on October th.

I was in Gwadmeur.

So who answered the phone?

I didn't believe him.

I didn't believe him.

Who?

Who didn't you believe?

Yann, you didn't...

You didn't!

He arranged to meet in a bar.

He said he wanted to tell me the truth.

And when he started talking,
I didn't believe him.

I thought it was another trick.

What did you do, Yann?

I broke the bottle and I hit him.

I wanted him to hurt. I was so angry.

I was certain he k*lled Loic.

That he destroyed our family.

It's the lies that destroyed our family.

Imagine what they could have avoided
if they'd talked to each other.

We need to be honest with each other.

- Well, I'm leaving.
- Okay. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Want to grab a drink?

Nico, you've got to open your eyes, man!

What are you saying, I don't get it...

- I can see that.
- What are you talking about?

You're in love with each other.
You'd have to be blind not to see it.

Goodbye Astrid. And thanks for everything.

Goodbye Astrid.

Goodbye Niels.

Goodbye.
