03x01 - Thérapie mortelle

[bunniefuu]

Take your clothes off!

You'll see, the pool's amazing!

- You sure this is OK?
- Totally.

I know the owners.
It's no problem.

Patricia, call the police!

Someone's underwater!

Call the police!

I can't get him up!
He's attached!

Patricia!

Hi.

- Morning, Captain.
- Morning.

Morning, Captain.

Croissant, Captain?

Not hungry, thanks.

You OK?
Didn't you sleep well?

And you?
Aren't you tired after your night?

You owe me
60 seconds of truth, remember?

Let's start.

Often sleep with your ex?

- It's not what you think.
- I don't think, I observe.

- We can discuss it calmly.
- That's what we're doing. 50.

Give me that, Adeline.

Be reasonable.

Have you finished your game,
Captains?

Come to my office. Now.

Tom Duval, the actor, will join you

for 2 days.

- If I may be so bold...
- Yes?

- He says that in his show.
- Why's he here?

He's a cop in his next film,

wants to learn from the best.

- He means me.
- He'll be disappointed.

The chief forced my hand:

"It's good for the police's image".
I'm counting on you.

It's not my problem! I don't care!

What am I supposed to do?!
Sort it out!

Send an ambulance! Bring
the bastard in. He k*lled 2 kids!

- It's not what you think.
- He's copying you!

Mr Duval, this is...

Captains Cherif and Briard,
your best guys. Hello.

Welcome.

Call me Tom.
Let's not stand on ceremony.

I'm really happy.

Like I said to your boss:
I'll be discreet,

invisible, like tax cuts.

Can I have a g*n?

Just joking.

Excuse me.

- Yes, Baudemont?
- Captain,

fancy a swim?

- No.
- No?

Pity, it'd relax you.
The water's warm too.

You sure? OK.

Oh, there's been a m*rder too.

- We're coming.
- OK.

What d'you think?
Nice and warm, eh?

- The best thing to do...
- Yes.

...is to observe, listen,
and above all...

don't touch a thing.

Tom Duval is behind us.

He's on placement.
Who's the victim?

- Antoine Bazin, 52, shrink.
- Antoine Bazin?

Hello.

- I've always wanted to meet him.
- A bit late now.

In his book, Fully Reborn,

he develops hypnosis techniques
for better living.

- Hello. I'm Teuse.
- Yes?

Er, I love your series.

- The dialogue is great.
- Yes, OK.

Yes...

So, what else?

We have 2 youngsters

who found the victim
handcuffed to the pool grill.

They saw a blonde in her 30s
running off...

Left her bag: Julie Massero.

Apparently, she had a session
with the shrink today.

- Put out an APB.
- "Put out an APB."

- Is there an echo?
- Just finding his feet.

- Hello, Philippe.
- Hi.

- Alright?
- OK. You?

Hardened steel handcuffs.

No chance of escape with those on.

I'd happily be handcuffed to you
for a lifetime.

You ball and chain.

Use the serial number to trace them.

He drowned in under 4 minutes:
Immersion Syndrome.

He could've been resuscitated.
He watched himself die.

Hello. Do I know you?

I don't think so.
He's not interested...

That's his way.

He's the hero.
He always solves it in the end.

Why wasn't he handcuffed
to the ladder?

It's deeper there.

Harder to control someone
out of your depth.

It's also visible from the gate.

Antoine Bazin
Fully Reborn

Someone left the book
so we'd find it.

- It's no coincidence.
- No.

No one came over the gate.

Someone stood there
and watched the m*rder.

Captains!

Emmanuel, get the book,
photograph the area.

It's part of the crime scene.

Julie Massero's
been found and arrested.

- Cherif!
- Thanks.

Come and see this!

There's something in the water there.

- Look.
- Yeah?

- Look, that thing there.
- Where?

Sorry. There was something there.

False alarm. It's a leaf.

This is going to drag on.

If I may be so bold,
he's just finding his feet.

- I'll just get changed.
- OK.

- Where's he going?
- Home. Go with him.

He lives opposite the station?!

Wait, I'm really sorry!
I'll pay for the dry cleaning.

Wait!

When did you stop your treatment?

Dejax has to confirm
that she's fit to be interviewed.

Did you get her medical file?

No, Bazin's computer is locked.
Forensics are on it.

The handcuffs

are from abroad
and not sold in France.

- How is it going with the actor?
- Cherif is getting to know him.

He even has a barbecue!

Nice flat.

Right opposite the station.
Well done, Cherif.

Yeah, well designed.

Right then...

So, what's he got in here?

The Saint, Columbo,
The Rockford Files...

Lots of cop movies, DVD box sets.

For nights when he's on his own.

He's a loner.

A very dark character.

I know we spoke yesterday,
Deborah, but...

Call me. We need to talk.

Got all you need? Let's go.

- OK. Your daughter's cute.
- Yes.

No photo of her mother?

It's because she's dead
and it's too hard for you, right?

No, we're divorced.

Ah! That would've been perfect:

in the film I'm about to do,

Till the Very Last Second,
I play a widowed cop.

My wife was k*lled
by a guy who got away.

So I drink,
I can't get back on track,

can't fall in love, etc.

- Get it?
- OK.

- That's not you, eh?
- No.

You're with Briard, right?
She's stern, but attractive.

- Shall we go?
- Come here.

Come here.

I don't want to be a pain,
but what's your dark secret?

- My dark secret?
- Yes, every hero has a flaw.

Well?

It's true, I do have a flaw.
Two, in fact.

Ah!

I smile all the time.
It annoys people.

And I'm always right.

Seriously?

Hey, it's Max!

"If I may be so bold."

Why's he here, Dad?

Well... He'll explain.

I'll leave you with your fans.

It's not what you think.
We're just friends.

How d'you know my father?

I feel like
you're attacking me. Stop!

Bazin, divorced.
Ex-wife and son in Guadeloupe.

They'll get on a flight.

Julie Massero will need some help,
she's very confused.

Dr Bazin made people
relive their births

to rid them
of their deepest suffering,

hence the pool.

- Have you read his book?
- No, but I will.

Forensics checked it:
clean, no fingerprints.

- If Julie had dropped it...
- We'd have found hers.

Maybe she can explain, eh?

Dying during a comeback
is hard luck.

He was popular in the '90s,

then nothing until the success
of his last book, a year ago.

I'll leave you this. Good luck.

Get a double for your stunts.

Adeline, one moment, please.
Come.

How can I put it?

What happened between Deborah and me
was nothing...

You haven't cheated on me.

We're just partners.
No need to justify it.

I'm not getting
back together with Deborah.

Wonderful.

In fact,
yes, I am a bit disappointed.

Especially as it's you.

Sleeping with your ex is so...

ordinary.

Mrs Massero, why did you run away?

My psychiatrist d*ed.

I panicked.

I told him
I didn't want to use the pool

because I was afraid I'd k*ll again.

I k*lled my brother.

She was an only child.

Can you tell us
what happened with the doctor?

He'd treated me for a year.
Yesterday, I had an anxiety att*ck.

Unusually,
he agreed to see me in the morning.

I couldn't finish the water session

because I felt uncomfortable.

I went into the house to get changed.

When I came back to say goodbye,

I saw him, in the water...

dead.

I don't understand.

I've k*lled again.

The file you wanted has arrived.

OK? All's well?

We'll take a break.

Do you want a coffee?

What are you playing at, Tom?!

Don't worry.
I'm sure she believed I was a cop.

I was good, don't you think?

Ow! That hurts!

- You deserve it!
- Not much in there.

- You read it?
- Yes. Loosen up a bit.

Forensics have Bazin's files:

this is Julie Massero's.

Is her imaginary brother mentioned?

She did have a brother, a twin.
She thinks

she k*lled him
inside their mother's womb.

She's had paranoia since childhood.

He made her relive her trauma

to free her of her guilt.

- He hoped for a shock.
- He succeeded!

I know how to find out
if she's guilty.

The Tiger Brigades...

What about it?

Season 4, episode 5:

how to tell
if a witness speaks the truth.

A murderess, in our case.

Hold this for me, Captain. Thanks.

Come. You go in here.
It's better than TV.

- Really?
- Stay there.

Give me 5 minutes
to get something, Captain.

I'm so tired, Captain.

I don't want to do any more harm.

Of course not.

We need to know
how you handcuffed Dr Bazin?

You can touch them.

Forensics have already examined them.

They're not the cuffs.

- I remember now.
- What's he doing?

He was in the water, I felt bad.

I must've taken the cuffs
and attached him.

The doctor was suffocating...

like my brother.

I handcuffed him and...

It was like
an umbilical cord around his neck.

I did it.

I did it.

No, you didn't.

You k*lled no one, I assure you.

Only the k*ller
would recognise the real cuffs.

Well done.

We need to check
Bazin's other patients.

I called Vasseur, his associate.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Is it me or has something changed?

Can't hide a thing from you.

D'you often copy TV shows?

Please don't encourage him.

It's hard not to repeat yourself.

- If I may be so bold.
- Very funny.

Oh yes, he's a funny man.

- Dr Vasseur.
- Captain Briard.

Captain Cherif.
We'll go in here.

I came as quickly as I could.

- Have a seat.
- Thanks.

I was Antoine's associate
and supervisor too.

Sorry.

Most psychotherapists have one:

it helps to discuss difficult cases.

If I can help in any way...

- Did he ever mention Julie Massero?
- Massero, no.

When did you last see him?

Last Friday.

Did he discuss a particular incident?

Antoine had...

How can I say it so you understand?

Say it simply.

Antoine was concerned
about one of his patients.

The therapy wasn't going well.

He felt the patient was transferring
his feelings onto him.

- Was he in love with him?
- No.

Transference has many forms.

He felt the patient's anger
was directed towards him.

What's the patient's name?

- Samuel Roussel?
- Yes, that's it.

The cuffs used to k*ll Bazin:

he bought them on the internet.

The suspect has a flower shop

on Rue Cardinal.
He lives above it.

- Alone at last, Captain.
- Hey! Are we arresting the k*ller?

We're questioning a suspect.
Sorry, you can't come.

Doucet promised him unlimited access.

Where's my bulletproof vest?

You'll get one with "actor" on it.

Like in Castle.

What's Samuel Roussel's story?

He was diagnosed
with bipolar disorder as a teenager.

His parents d*ed in a car accident,

he made a few su1c1de attempts.

The last one was 2 years ago.

Have you ever thought of
teaming up after work?

I could cut the sexual tension
between you with a Kn*fe.

Who says it's "sexual"?

Between partners that would be...

How did you put it?
"Ordinary."

- No, don't move.
- I want to come!

- Stay there.
- No! I don't think so.

No!

See you later.
If I may be so bold.

Very funny!

Hello. Can I help you?

Capts. Briard and Cherif.

Can we talk to Samuel Roussel?

He's not here.
Is there a problem?

And you are?

Elsa Castel, his girlfriend.

- D'you know where he is?
- No.

- Has something happened?
- Can you phone him?

He's actually with his shrink.

He never answers:
it prevents arguments.

About what?

I don't like him
spending money on that.

They're charlatans
promising you happiness.

When did you last see him?

This morning, before he left.

Did you notice anything peculiar?

- Did he look annoyed, worried?
- No, it's me who's worried.

When does he usually come home?

Excuse me!

What's in there?

Samuel's workshop. He does
his flower arrangements in there.

I'm not allowed in there.

I confiscated it from Alex Mondi

when he operated in Lyon
a few years ago.

What's this?

Dr Bazin's home address.

Apparently all the places
he used to frequent.

"Tragedy on July 14:
a couple die in their car."

Was Samuel investigating his shrink?

No, his parents' death.

They d*ed
on the evening of July 14, 1994.

When I met him,
he mentioned it all the time.

He was at a holiday camp. He was 7.

The car swerved
and ended up in the Rhône.

They couldn't get out.

Samuel considered Bazin
responsible for their death.

Bazin was drowned like them.

He did that?

But he...

Elsa?

Where are you?

Elsa!

You picked the lock!

You're not allowed in here!

- Did you k*ll him?
- Freeze!

Stop!

Samuel, stop!

Stop!

Get up.

- Let him go!
- Back off!

I had to do it.

Get up.

I had to.

Elsa, I had no choice.

I had no choice.

Samuel's confession:
he k*lled Dr Bazin.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

I know that face. Problem?

He's adamant he didn't leave
Bazin's book behind the gate.

This photo...

He was after
the person responsible for

his parents' death.
This photo led to Bazin.

He collected photos
taken near the accident on that day.

He was sent one
taken at the time of the accident.

OK. What's your theory?

Bazin developed a method

that eased trauma
by altering memories.

Someone could have used that method.

By mixing up Samuel's memories,

he was turned into a living w*apon.

We've the k*ller,

but we must find who's behind this.

Right, I'm off.

I've got plenty to boost my script.
Thanks.

- You'll invite us to the film sh**t?
- Of course.

- A good 1st day?
- Great.

I got Marco to analyse the photo.

He's asked
for a DVD box set in exchange.

Serpico... I said yes.

You're copying me now, eh?

I'll leave you:
it looks like the tension's rising.

Oh, sorry... Tom Duval.

Yes. An autograph?
What name?

Deborah Atlan, the ex...
Sarah's mother.

No need for an autograph,
my daughter has plenty.

- Kader, can I talk to you?
- Yes, of course.

Good evening, Adeline.

- Is this a bad time?
- No.

Shall we go?

It's hard competing with the ex.
I understand.

Adeline knows?
Did you tell her we slept together?

- I didn't say a word.
- This is not good.

- I know.
- No you don't.

Pierre asked me to marry him.

You'd better explain.

Do it like in a series:

"Previously in my ex-wife's life."

I was as surprised as you.

- Will you accept?
- Don't know.

- How did she know?
- About the marriage?

- No. About us two.
- She must've seen us.

She came to my flat

and she saw us kissing
through the window.

- Yes, maybe.
- Thank you so much, Deborah!

I'd kiss you,
but it's not a good idea.

No, it's not a good idea.

Great actor, Tom.

Despite his success,
he hasn't left his disabled wife.

That's so cool.

That's not what I think of him,
but if that's true,

you're right, sweetie.

See you later.
Gimme some skin?

- Hi.
- Hi, Sarah.

- Hello.
- Did you get Marco's email?

Yes. So, we now know
the photo was doctored.

Let's see how Samuel reacts to that.

You didn't say goodbye last night.

- You noticed?
- Yes.

I need to slow down.
Too many late nights at work.

I figured it out last night.

You came to my place
and saw me with Deborah.

What were you going to say to me?

- Hello.
- "Hello"?

Hello. Alright? Good night's sleep?

What d'you think? It's not real.
There's only one Cherif in town.

One's enough.

Forensics confirm
the photo's a fake.

OK. Someone set Samuel Roussel
against Dr Bazin. Who?

Someone who knows
Samuel Roussel's history.

Dr Édouard Vasseur.

I checked. They didn't get on.

Bazin wanted out.

He had contacted a lawyer
to cancel their partnership.

I like your way of slowing down.

So, Bazin didn't need Vasseur
any more...

Vasseur reminded him
that he was more knowledgeable.

But you haven't found a link
between Vasseur and Samuel!

Have you?

Get moving and find one, then!

Tom! Let them work.

No, come back.

Look at the shadows,
it's a photomontage.

You've been manipulated.

Why are you doing this?

I k*lled Bazin.

D'you understand?
I k*lled him.

Are you disgusted
that I k*lled my parents' m*rder*r?

For 2 years, I confided in that guy.

Do you know this man?

Yes. He's the other shrink.

Have you had sessions with him?

No.

- Outside, maybe?
- No.

Why handcuff Antoine
to the pool grill?

Did Vasseur tell you to?

Look. I've signed a confession.
I'm going before a judge.

Can't you just leave me in peace?

Please.

Please.

No calls or messages
between Samuel and Vasseur.

Someone must have seen them together.

Elsa?

- You'll interview her at your flat?
- Don't worry.

I'll give you a summary.

Not this time.
I fancy a cup of tea.

I think he came and bought flowers.

Why? Can he help Samuel?

That's enough to get him in, eh?

He came often?

I don't know. I'm not always
in the shop. I also do deliveries.

Samuel says he's lost without me.

Ah yes?

Can I see him?

It'll be difficult.
He has to see a judge.

I'll give you his lawyer's details.

He'll explain everything.

- Can I wait at reception?
- Yes. I'll take you over.

Take a seat.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

- Adeline.
- Just in time.

We've got Vasseur here.

- Adeline.
- Yes?

- You're bluffing, aren't you?
- How?

About Deborah and me.

You're playing it cool:
"I'm above all that..."

And?

I want you to know
that I'm ready for us.

I'm serious.

Vasseur's waiting.

You'll never guess
who the lawyer is.

- Yes. My ex-wife.
- Hard luck!

It was only odd the first 18 times.

Those two are weird.

I thought I'd already told you.

Samuel Roussel is not my patient.
I've never even met him.

We have 2 debit card receipts

confirming you bought flowers
in his shop on Rue Cardinal.

The florist opposite the cemetery?

My mother's buried there.

I bought some wreaths
to decorate her grave.

A regrettable coincidence.

As Bazin's supervisor,
you had access to his file?

Only for advisory purposes.

Whoever manipulated Samuel
to k*ll Bazin

knew which buttons to press.

Since files are confidential,
the list is limited.

You must prove
you can force someone

to act against his will.

- You know all about that, eh?
- Pardon?

You think
someone manipulated Antoine's k*ller?

You don't understand
what such manipulation involves.

Reading Fully Reborn isn't enough.

You need to be
with the subject every day.

Changing thought patterns
is long and tiring work.

I wouldn't have been able to do it:

I spend weeks in Paris
giving lectures.

You can check.

Very well.

"He's lost without me."

Samuel's girlfriend
said that earlier.

Where is she?

You look inside, I'll look outside.

If I may be so bold.

Cherif! Wait for me.
New case?

- I'm after Elsa.
- She just left.

She talked to Samuel.

How come? She saw Samuel?

Wait!

We've just found Roussel.
He hanged himself in his cell.

How? You left him unattended?
You have strict instructions!

I want a report on my desk in 1 hour!

It had better be accurate!
This could mean dismissal!

- Your turn.
- What can I add?

Elsa was waiting.
She was a sorry sight.

- I'm sure even you...
- What?

You're pros, but I'm...

She asked me
to show her Samuel's cell...

And you rushed to help her!

The officer was there throughout.

Did you hear what they said?

No, I was having a laugh
with the officer.

And then?

Elsa asked us
to show her where the toilet was.

He was left alone.
He hanged himself.

She drove him to su1c1de?

I've sent cars out to find Elsa.

Get her.

Where d'you think you're going?

Sit down.

See you shortly.
They're coming.

She calmly returned to the shop.

She's 29. No criminal record.
A trained secretary.

She did odd jobs,

then studied psychology for 2 years.

Taught by...

Antoine Bazin.

They had an affair?

He left her.

She gets her revenge
by using his manipulation techniques.

It wasn't an affair.

I contacted her training college.

Bazin called her
intelligent and bold,

but he didn't give her a diploma.

"Intelligent and bold."
I've seen that somewhere.

"Intelligent,

"bold approach
to behavioural therapy."

When did he teach Elsa?

2014.

She sent him her thesis.

A year ago,
he published Fully Reborn:

it relaunched his career.

I want to see her thesis.

If you don't get a diploma,
your thesis isn't archived.

Bazin stole her thesis
to write his book.

She realised

and decided to take revenge
by using her own methods.

So...

Either Elsa's a genius
or totally crazy.

A genius, I reckon.

Out of all of Bazin's patients,
she found Samuel.

And fooled us all.

Yes?

Captain, we've got Elsa Castel.

She doesn't want a lawyer.

OK. I'm coming.

Jean-Paul and Tom
are with the prosecutor.

Jean-Paul won't ditch
any of his men.

What's that?

The list of Elsa Castel's odd jobs.

Whilst studying,
she worked at Donnell & Sons.

Wait. "Donnell & Sons"?

I saw that name on Bazin's reports.

The firm that transcribes
therapists' session notes.

That's how Elsa knew
all about Samuel's life.

Thanks.

The police bring you in
and you don't ask why?

I broke the law,
but I had to see Samuel.

Elsa, we're sorry to say this,
but Samuel has taken his own life.

Did he leave a note?

Did he say anything?

About you, you mean?

The poor boy.

He must've been bowled over
when he first met you.

I bought flowers at his shop:

love at first sight.

Easy if you knew about him already.

You were at Donnell & Sons?

Yes. For 2-3 years.

See this code?

It belongs to the document's
transcriber. We can check everything.

You chose Samuel
because he needed a culprit.

He couldn't accept
his parents' death.

Dr Bazin was right:
you are "intelligent and bold".

Donnell & Sons is key.

When Adeline spoke about them,
she became nervous.

- Hiding something?
- Yes.

Remember, she transcribed
other patients' notes too.

Yes, all of
Elsa Castel's transcriptions.

It's an emergency.

We'll bring the requisition
within the hour.

Thank you very much.

We can now contact
the patients Elsa approached.

Perfect. Place her in custody.

That's her.

That woman is totally sick.

I ran into Elsa
at the organic grocer's.

We got on right away.

When was that?

6 months after my daughter's su1c1de.

I wasn't well.
Elsa came into my life.

Her sister had k*lled herself.

That made us closer.

- Were you already seeing Dr Bazin?
- Yes.

My daughter and I did family therapy.

After, I was keen
to continue with Dr Bazin.

He helped me survive...

Small comfort.

- Did you mention it to Elsa?
- Not right away.

Elsa disliked therapists:
she held her sister's

responsible for her death.

When did you first notice
she disliked Dr Bazin?

It was never that obvious.

She criticised
his eccentric methods...

She said she'd have complained
about him if she were me.

I found her
rifling through my daughter's things.

I couldn't believe it.

I told her to get out of my life.

She scared me.

Don't tell me
I drove others to su1c1de!

Véronique Chatoux.

Do you remember her?

You transcribed
Dr Bazin's notes on her

for several weeks.

She remembers you.

The story about
your sister's su1c1de,

sharing doubts about shrinks

to make her hate Bazin and k*ll him.

It didn't work.

Then you targeted Sabine Serrano.

She also saw Dr Bazin
after her att*ck.

The culprit wasn't arrested.

We have her statement.
Same story.

But that time, you told her
that your shrink r*ped you.

Not so subtle.

That didn't work either.
Sabine moved down south.

That's why you targeted a man.

To add a love dimension
and secure your influence.

D'you have any idea
what it takes to do that?

Bazin understood.

You knew that Samuel
would m*rder him that day.

That's why you went there too.

You waited calmly.

And you watched Dr Bazin die.

Why did you leave the book there?

I wanted him to see me.

We take the last thing we see
with us.

He had no right to humiliate me.

All of that to steal my work.

People must know
that those theories come from me.

We'll make sure they do.

I'm sorry
for all the hassle I've caused.

- Really.
- What's done is done.

I've met twisted people before,
but that girl...

A world-beater.

What an actress!
I should hire her, eh?

She may not
be available for 10 years.

I keep thinking about Samuel.

If I hadn't been here... Eh?

She fooled us all.

Murderers act in the moment,

sometimes planning ahead.

But she...

she'd been preparing that for months.

If it hadn't been you,
it'd've been someone else.

I keep telling myself that,
but it doesn't help. Why?

Because a man d*ed.

You need time to process it.
It's normal.

- Like a real cop.
- You wanted to see all this.

I was meant to be organising
some drinks to thank you.

I'll cancel.

No, don't. The show must go on.

It's a police tradition too.

OK.

We having this drink?

I know you paid,
but I ain't wasting it!

- Go for it!
- Yes!

It's free. Thanks.

I wanted to thank you.
Come here, you.

Thank you so much.

See you in a bit.

- Alright?
- Yes.

- You were right.
- I know. As usual.

Remind me what it was about exactly?

It hurt to see you with Deborah.

I'm not as strong as I look.

For a while, I thought
that you and I might've...

I want a man to give me
stability and security...

And now I know
that man can't be you.

I'm sorry.

I wanted
to thank you all before I go.

But first, I want to thank
Capts. Briard and Cherif.

They're not here.

- Hello.
- Pierre.

- Is Deborah there?
- Er... I don't know.

They released Vasseur.

Congratulations on Elsa.
It'll make a great court case.

Thank you.

Why did you refuse Pierre's proposal?

Marriage isn't
something I treat lightly.

Fidelity and trust
are important to me.

I was angry with Pierre.
I wanted to leave him.

But I realised he's...

The man
you want to spend your life with.

I can't marry him
if I'm not honest with him.

I don't know how to tell him
we slept together.
