01x06 - Maigret Comes Home - Part Two

Post by bunniefuu »

Wouldn't be listening to us, would you?

This g*ng could be connected to Mattia's

k*lling.

They stabbed him to death but left a

recorder which has their voices on it. I

don't think so.

So you're letting Carver go on a wild

goose chase?

He can tell us anything about the man.

He's a coward?

I'm in trouble.

You have to come home. You've just

challenged a k*ller. You can't leave

Bus is in 15 minutes.

May Gray?

You decided to show up?

Well, you needn't have bothered.

I can handle things here.

Listen to what you said last night.

Last night, I was upset.

What happened to Janosch? Good morning,

Countess.

Dr. Bouchardin, good morning.

I kicked Janosch out.

I'm kicking them all out.

I've relied too long on untrustworthy

men.

I don't include your father in that.

I'm sorry for what I said last night. It

wasn't true.

I apologize.

You should go back to Paris, Maygray.

I'll look after San Fiacre.

Who am I photographing exactly?

May Gray thinks Antoine Bertie's k*ller

might be here.

Where's the boss?

This is said he had to leave town.

Personal.

What's the rest?

I got Antoine's father, his sister.

Looks like we're starting.

me beside the still waters, he restoreth

my soul.

He leadeth me in the path of

righteousness, for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of

the shadow of death, I will fear no

evil.

For thou art with me, thy rod and thy

staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the

presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my

I'll ask again. What's the point of

this?

May Gray asked for it.

May Gray knows we have the m*rder*r. He

said so yesterday. So what are we doing?

Anyone?

Look, we need to get the art thieves

back in the room and put the screws to

them. Put the screws to them? Yes.

You know what I mean.

Sergeant Lucas, if you can't get hold of

May Gray, I'll get hold of Carnival. We

only have these suspects for so long and

we are wasting time.

It was a heart attack, Captain Chabot.

She had complaints to me of chest pains,

feeling faint.

I gave her pills for high blood pressure

and I begged her to go and get a proper

check -up, but her son was breaking her

heart.

This is just tragic.

Lucas. Boss, we did surveillance on the

funeral. We got the photos, but we don't

know what to do with them.

Can I see them?

Sure, where are you?

San Fiac, near Montmirail. What? That's

two hours away.

Boss, we need to work the batik out.

Do we get the art thieves back in?

Yes.

Despite the business with the

photographs this morning?

Yes. Keep questioning the g*ng, and if

the media ask questions, just tell them

we're not looking for anyone else.

Boss, you're trying to send a message to

someone, aren't you?

Who?

I don't know.

Boss, is there anything we can do to

help?

Yes.

A woman just died.

A woman I came here to help.

I need a hand out here. Who can you

spare?

You can have Jean -Vier in La Pointe,

the road tunnel.

Tell them to meet me at La Manon Hotel

in Saint -Pierre.

And bring the photos.

Thanks, Lucas.

Madame Joan.

Can I speak to Annie?

I was told he was altar boy at this

morning's mass.

He's not here.

I don't know where he is.

Hello, Ernest.

What did you give the contestant in

church this morning?

Nothing. Let go of me.

Get off of me, you big Get off!

Forget it.

Lost something?

They're mine. She didn't even give me

time to pack.

Where are you going to go?

How would I know?

I sacrificed so much moving here.

And then she was irrational.

The accusations.

She was not a well woman.

I'd stick around if I were you.

Why should I?

Do you want your face all over the TV?

A lot of people like me coming after

you.

Stick around.

What are you doing here?

Having a pee.

You have no jurisdiction here. I want

you to leave.

I am leaving.

But I'm not going away.

Nor should you.

Torres. Boss, I've got a call for you.

He says it's about Betty, but he'll only

talk to you.

Thanks.

Put him through.

This is May Gray.

Don't bother to trace the call. I won't

be on long enough.

We're not tracing it.

Do you know who I am?

No.

But I know what you did.

Then why did you tell lies in public?

To get you to call me.

If you're so clever, have I k*lled

before?

I don't know.

But can I ask you a question?

Do you remember his face?

Antoine Bati.

Well, you went back and looked at him.

Then stabbed him again.

So, do you remember his face?

And that is what we should do.

Master's in 15 minutes.

Can I help you with something?

Chief Inspector Maygray.

Maygray? Are you Was this

I am.

And this?

Well, I suppose it was.

Once. Ah, well, come in, please.

Please come in.

Natalie, guess who's here?

May Gray, the son of Everest May Gray,

the estate manager before me.

Madame Gauthier?

Mademoiselle, and his daughter.

And bank manager, you remind me right?

That's right.

My wife and I separated some years ago.

She found country life too hard.

You've made some changes.

The whole place was completely falling

apart. Sadly, I had no choice.

I still don't know why you kept this old

table.

I kept it because it has character.

Character and for continuity.

Dad, is everything okay?

Yeah. Of course. The Countess is a

terrible tragedy.

We're heartbroken.

Poor dear Sophie.

Tell me about Janos Varga.

Oh, well.

I'm afraid it's not a very edifying

story.

An attractive man, a vulnerable older

woman.

He took advantage of her?

Well, I wish he'd spent less on his art.

In the scheme of things, I suppose it

didn't really matter.

Anyway, I hear he's gone. Good riddance.

You here?

You gave him a lift half an hour ago.

Where to?

A hotel in Montmirail.

He had nowhere else to go. I felt sorry

for him.

The Countess's son will be here soon.

What will you tell him?

Is that any of your business?

Do you want me to make it my business?

Look, it's obvious his estate is

bankrupt.

Things started to go wrong under your

father, I'm afraid.

Don't get me wrong, he was a decent man,

but out of his depth.

And, well, Sophie trusted him until it

was too late.

I did what I could. I sold what farms I

could to stem the bleeding, but What

will your advice to Maurice be?

Sell. He has no choice.

I doubt the sale will even pay off the

overdraft.

I'll do my best to help him, of course.

It's not like he ever showed much

interest in the place.

Again, I'm sorry your visit was so sad.

Have a safe trip back to Paris.

I'm not going back to Paris.

I'm taking this.

What? It belongs to the estate.

It belongs to my father.

Bought it as a gift for the Countess

with 21st birthday.

This was his copy.

I'm just Meg Ray?

Carver got a result.

Bronco and Sovereign both made

statements refuting Mila's alibi.

We haven't had the lab report back on

the knife.

The other evidence is enough to charge

Mila of Antoine's m*rder. So, knowing

thing that you know, which you are

refusing to share, should we go ahead

charge her? Yes.

But put my name on the charge sheet.

Carver will be royally pissed off.

He's not the only one who'll be pissed

off.

He'll thank me in the long run.

You're playing a dangerous game, boss.

Champion, at last.

The game is working. Keep playing it.

My name on the charge sheet. Miele is

the k*ller.

All right for some.

From Antoine's funeral.

Thanks. Can I have one of those, please?

Not yet.

I need you to go to Montmirail Town

Hall, ask for the property records, find

who owns these farms.

Also, when they were bought, how much

for, and who did the financing.

We've just driven for two hours.

And the office closes in two hours.

If anyone gives you any grief, tell them

it's a m*rder investigation.

You can take this.

You can keep it.

Hey, Grey.

Sweetheart.

Are you all right?

I'm so sorry about the Countess.

It was in church, like my dreams.

She died almost in front of me.

I'm sorry, my love.

But look, about your text, I've dropped

in on Helene because I think you must

have misheard about the Countess's

condition.

What do you mean?

You wrote high blood pressure.

That's what the doctor said.

But the pills you photographed were

fludrocortisone.

So Hi.

Fludrocortisone is for hypotension. Low

blood pressure.

If you give this to someone with high

blood pressure, you're just exacerbating

the condition.

So you must have misheard, because no

doctor would prescribe these.

No, of course. Thanks, Helen.

Are you coming back or staying?

Staying. A little bit longer.

I saw on the news you were charging

someone in the boy's m*rder.

Yes, but not the k*ller.

He caught me.

And?

And I don't know.

He's made contact, so I'm one step

closer to him. Are you in the right

May Gray?

You mean in my head?

No.

Reality.

Geography.

You should be here.

Paris.

Crime is committed here, too.

I rolled the dice.

Now I have to follow through.

Love you too.

Had to go to the morgue in Montmery to

identify her.

Thought how young she seemed.

But then she was young.

Yes.

Same age as my father.

She told me you liked it.

Calvados.

Thank you.

Why are you here?

Your mother called me.

She said she was ill, scared and

surrounded by people she didn't trust.

I came but not in time to help her.

I let her down.

I'm the one who let her down.

And I'm afraid I'm going to keep on

doing it.

I'm going to sell the chateau.

Gautier says I have to.

If this place destroyed my mother, I

won't let it destroy me.

I will walk away without a backwards

glance.

I felt the same when my father died.

That it had k*lled him.

I left.

Never wanted to see it again.

Is that why you went to Paris?

The police?

Paris, yes. Not the police.

I went into a black hole for two years.

Drink, drug, everything else.

Like I wanted to flush Senfiaka out of

my system.

What happened?

Well, someone was kind.

Told me to grow up.

Who? You do what you have to do.

All I will say is, Gautier was not on

your mother's side, and he's not on

But he's not wrong about how things are.

And what choice do I have?

I have no money, no recourse.

Nothing.

I believe bad things were done here.

Not just today, but for years.

If you're willing to fight, I can give

you the ammunition.

Are you hungry?

Most of the time.

I don't know what we have.

Then let's have a look.

Yep.

Madam Prosecutor, I think you know that

I'm all about loyalty and

the team.

Yes?

When the leader of that team absents

himself from the work but still takes

credit for the results of that work,

isn't one obliged to protest on behalf

the team?

You're talking about me, Gray?

Yes.

He insisted on putting his name on a

charge sheet where he had nothing,

literally nothing, to do with closing

the case.

Plus, by the way, where is he?

Nobody seems to know, apart from maybe

Sergeant Lucas and she May Gray is in

San Fiacre.

An urgent personal matter.

You knew?

Still.

It's not right.

It's not.

Ideal. I'd like my protest to go on the

record.

He's the chief inspector.

He sees fit to swat off into the middle

of nowhere on some personal matter, but

still take the credit for other people's

hard work.

And you're 100 % confident in this work?

Yes, ma 'am. We have built a good case.

Watertight.

As watertight as any case can be, you

know, but lawyers and Yes.

Thank you, Inspector Carver.

Thank you, Mom.

You're allowed to just take time off

like this.

Disappear from work.

Well, it's a risk I had to take.

You have copies of everything?

Good.

I'll see you at the hotel.

The ammunition's starting to come in.

Tomorrow, you should request a meeting

here.

Invite Gauthier, his daughter, Dr.

Bouchardon, even Janos Varga. No.

Yes.

Tell them you're selling St -Pierre.

And you want to thank everyone for

everything they've done for your mother

the years. Invite that gendarmerie

captain Chabot as well.

I don't understand.

I'll be here early tomorrow morning.

We'll give you the ammunition.

Then you'll understand.

Then you'll be angry.

That Andre?

Lucas, you're working late.

I think I've got him on the line.

Put him through.

Thanks, Lucas.

Meghri.

You're right.

I haven't slept.

I keep seeing his face.

I don't know why I turned him over.

He looked at me like I had come to help

him.

Grateful.

And that made you angry?

Yeah.

I had to show him that I hadn't come to

help.

So I stabbed him again.

Then he knew who I was.

before. I still don't.

The stranger death, that's the thing you

fear the most.

Isn't it?

No connection between k*ller and victim.

Yes.

We are afraid of that.

So my next victim will be a stranger and

you won't solve that one either.

If you're overlooking one thing, there

is a connection.

Between you and me.

Just because I talk to you doesn't mean

you know me.

You don't know me.

I'm looking at you right now.

You're suffering.

You keep seeing this face.

Go and sleep.

Christ, thanks be.

Keep at it.

We've a job to do.

The last of the Lafitte.

Come on, Captain Shabbo.

You're not on duty.

My mother would be very happy to see the

house full again with friends and

colleagues.

You said it.

But all good things must come to an end.

I'm going to take Monsieur Gaultier's

advice and put the chateau up for sale.

Oh, my dear boy.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you, Dr. Bouchard. And because you

are not just

Such good friends to my mother.

But you are also wise in the ways of the

world.

I want to ask what you think.

How much will I get?

Mademoiselle Gauthier, our accounts are

held at your bank. What's our overdraft?

Nearly two million euros, I'm afraid.

Ouch.

Gauthier, what can we get for the

remaining land?

Well, it's very hard to estimate. We'll

have to compare with recent sales.

All right.

Let's do that.

Middle Farm.

Sold five years ago.

300 hectares.

About the same as the land I have left.

What did it go for?

I'm afraid I don't have the figures in

my head.

It sold for 850 ,000 euros.

That's not good.

Well, you have to understand the land

values have been declining. I could only

find one buyer.

Understood. But what about the

farmhouse?

It was 18th century.

850 ,000 euros included the farmhouse.

It was in terrible condition.

Your mother was lucky to get that much.

Okay.

It was sold 18 months later for 2 .5

million euros.

Okay. San André, much larger, 500

hectares.

Given arable lands worth 7 ,000 a

hectare, we must have got at least 3

San André was sold for 970 ,000 euros.

Most of the land was just grazing.

Prices were depressed at the time. And

you could only find one buyer. Yes, I

could only find one buyer. Look, I can

see what you're doing.

You brought these people here, whoever

they are.

San Andre was sold two years later for 3

.5 million euros.

3 .5 million.

Some profit.

Who was the lucky buyer?

A limited company based in

Liechtenstein.

Service et Conseil Rural, S -A -R -L.

The same company also bought Middle

Farm.

The directors are Sebastian Gauthier and

Natalie Gauthier. I don't have to

listen to this.

Come on, Natalie.

Bloody ridiculous.

Hey, get out of the way. Get out of the

way.

Captain Chabot, tell him to get out of

the way.

He's a friend of the family.

What can I do?

Shall I summarize, Gauthier?

Whenever my mother needed to sell a

property to keep the estate alive, you

handled the sale.

You sold to yourself for the lowest

possible price, then sold on a few

later for a huge profit.

I'm sure when I tried to sell the

chateau, you'd have only found one buyer

that, too.

Service Econseil Rural.

Lichtenstein.

Dr. Bouchardon.

Anything to say?

What can I say?

I'm shocked.

It is shocking, isn't it?

But perhaps not as shocking as

prescribing her the drugs that k*lled

What are you talking about?

My mother suffered from high blood

pressure, but for months you prescribed

drugs for low blood pressure, making a

heart attack more likely, especially in

the event of a sudden shock. Rubbish!

I prescribed her drugs according to the

symptoms she told me.

This is a request for an autopsy to be

performed on Countess Sophie de Saint

-Friacre. due to the suspicious

circumstances surrounding her death.

Don't you dare.

Janosch, I've neglected you. I'm sorry.

I have nothing to do with any of this.

This phone was given to Sophie de Saint

-Fiacre yesterday. It has photos of her

of a sexually graphic nature.

A statement from Ernest Jean, altar boy.

saying Janos Vaga paid him 100 euros to

give the Countess the phone in church

and remove it afterwards.

That was the shock that stopped her

heart.

Can you prove it? I don't know.

But if you check their call logs, you'll

see they were all talking to one

another, especially after they heard

that I was coming.

I will examine these so I can understand

fully what has happened. I'll tell you

what's happened.

I worked.

I slayed to keep this place alive.

You, what did you do but waste money in

Paris?

You're just like your mother, parasite,

living off the sweat of a He saw

that. He assaulted him. He assaulted his

mother.

What do you expect?

Do not leave this area, or I will issue

warrants to Europe.

Get off me, I'm all right.

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

sorry. I'm sorry.

No DNA. Obviously the k*ller would have

cleaned it, but it's 100 % match for

Blade and stabbed it.

Good.

Well done, Inspector.

Come with me and we'll inform Monsieur

Miller.

Wait.

What time is Batista at?

Between 10 .25 and 10 .35.

I've been checking the CCTV from the

night Antoine was k*lled.

Camera on an ATM near the Basilique de

Saint -Denis metro.

Who do you think they are?

That's Mila, Bronco and Sovereign.

This is exactly where Mila said he was

in his alibi, and as he also said in his

alibi, the other two are with him.

May Gray asked you to track the robbers

and you couldn't be bothered?

I'm an inspector, it's not my job. It is

your job.

Clearly, Mila did not do it.

Is May Gray any closer to identifying

the real k*ller?

Wait.

They're talking, but still no ID.

What do you mean, they're talking?

But he knew it wasn't me that he Why

would he do that? Why would he do this?

You got the degree in psychology, mate.

OK, so what happens next?

Where is the k*ller?

Hey, let me help you.

Thanks. Make your money. No.

No, I want to help you.

Thank you.

What you guys just did was amazing.

I don't know how I could ever repay you.

Easy.

You can buy us round for a weekend.

Two weekends.

Anytime you want.

It's me.

I'm starting back.

Couple of hours, Max.

That's good.

I'm at home now.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

You know, you roll the dice.

I'll see you soon.

I love you.

Love you too.

Antoine Batiste's k*ller is in my

apartment. He has my wife. Jambier will

your car.

Just a cordon outside the building.

That's all. Open.

He's going to walk in there.

He's saving his danger to himself more

than anyone else.

No. I'll speak to the director. I will

not risk lives. There should be a r*pe

scene in there. Jambier knows the

k*ller. He's been talking to him. He

k*ller is waiting for him.

Madame Prosecutor, you have to trust me

and Grey on this. I did trust him, and

look where we are.

OK.

OK. Low key.

How did you find where we live?

I read that Chief Inspector May Gray's

wife works as a psychiatric nurse, so I

called every hospital in town and asked

to talk to you.

You should have been a real feminist and

kept your maiden name.

I love my husband.

Having his name doesn't diminish me.

Maybe so, sir.

Are you scared?

Yes.

I've never seen him angry.

I'm wondering what it will be like.

Joliet?

Joliet, we'll stay one minute.

Roger that. We're outside.

You want some breaking news?

Anything? She's been on the roof office.

They're in the kitchen. Your wife's at

the table. She seems okay.

It's her uncle. He's over in the sn*per.

No. Can I have a radio?

Come in when I say, not before.

Boss, he's got knives.

In case you need to blow his head off.

Come in.

Don't come any closer.

Has he hurt you? No.

We've been talking.

Why don't you sit down?

Did you get done what you needed to?

Yes.

Stop.

You talked to me, not her.

What are you worth to talk about?

You disrespected me.

You called me a coward.

I did.

I'm sorry.

Or you underestimated me.

And you Tell me what you want.

You don't want to be forgotten. Well

No, she doesn't know what she's talking

about.

I know the answer to your question.

Have you k*lled before?

You have.

But it was a long time ago.

It wasn't planned.

Someone angered you.

Or disrespected you.

You stopped.

You weren't caught.

You weren't even suspected.

For months you were afraid you'd be

found out, but you never were.

But eventually you began to get angry.

Because no one knew what you'd done.

This incredible thing that you'd done.

What had I done? Taken a life.

Crossed the line.

Removed yourself from the community of

man.

What's going on down there? We've got

media arriving.

This is not going to stay low -key.

Do what you can, just keep people back.

Zizi, how the hell did you find out?

What? One of you lot coming from the

crime? One of our lot.

And it's not just me.

Everyone's coming.

Who was he?

Guy Dubois.

He was this guy who went with a girl I

liked who I thought liked me.

I found him up by the river by himself.

I went up to him.

He said, what's up?

I slid the knife into him.

He said, what?

And then he fell down and I walked away.

How did you feel?

Sick. Sick. Sick.

I couldn't eat or sleep.

My parents were sure I was ill.

I began to feel different. I'd done it.

Crossed your line.

And you wanted to feel like that again?

Yeah.

Why Antoine Batille?

I'd spent the day walking and looking,

you know, just looking. And I

thought it was never going to happen.

And then

He just walked by, soaked.

Happy.

He ordered a crepe.

A crepe.

He was happy and I wasn't, so I

just I stabbed him.

They're not here.

I've got to get out of here. That won't

happen. It will. With her, I'll walk

right out. Don't move! Don't move.

I don't want to go to prison.

Will you tell them that I couldn't help

it, I was driven to it?

I can do that. And you work with crazy

people. You look after crazy people, so

just tell them, I'm mad.

I crossed your line. Will you tell them?

No.

God alone isn't mad.

And no, I don't agree with my husband.

You haven't crossed some magical line.

He cares about the pain that you feel. I

care about the pain that you've caused.

You did terrible things.

Not incredible things.

You are responsible.

When you accept that, you will be able

to sleep

now please give

me the knife

You would have shot me.

Take a seat.

Do you like a drink?

Please.

And one thing.

I don't know your name.

It's Percy.

Guillaume Percy.

Let's come in.

Doors on the latch.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

We're fine.

Thanks, Andrea.

We give our back to Torrance.

Got a drink out for you.

Will you come visit me in prison?

You're done.

Find a new team.

You don't tell me what to do, I am.

You're done.

Inspector Carver has asked for a

transfer out of La Creme.

He says it's a hostile.

Work environment is affecting his mental

health.

Honestly, May Gray, he was two -faced

and incompetent. He's gone.

Two murders solved, one from 15 years

ago.

Three thieves charged for the attempted

theft of a billionaire's art collection.

And I saw this morning that a Monsieur

Gauthier and his daughter were arrested

at Charles de Gaulle trying to board a

flight to Dakar with more than five

million euros in cash.

So we should be pleased, are we?

If it weren't for my wife, we'd be

looking at a very different picture.

How is she?

Must have been traumatic, to say the

least.

We'll take some time off, if that's

okay.

Go to the country.

Of course.

Welcome back, Nigri.

I'm Maurice.

Louise. A pleasure.

Tidied up a bit?

I can see.

Thank you.

My mother will be just down there.

Church will be looked after.

A lot of things will be looked after.

The chateau's opened.

There's drinks waiting and something a

bit better than what I offered you last

time. I'll finish up here and see you
