How's little Rossi doing?
Great.
I'm taking him back to his mother.
When do you finish?
I've just started.
It seems serious.
Yes.
I don't...
want to be a cop any more.
Found the house of our dreams?
No. Not really.
- The thing is...
- Yes?
Any news on the sale?
No, not really.
- Maybe it's a sign.
- What?
That we should stay here.
- I'm joking.
- I hope you are.
I haven't done much recently.
But that's going to change.
- I'll help you.
- Really?
- No!
- Yes.
There's no reason
why you have to deal with it all.
Thank you.
- We'll discuss it after work.
- OK.
I loved saying that.
"We'll discuss it after work."
- I'll see you there.
- OK.
- Sophie?
- Hi, Adeline.
Good to hear from you.
Are you still in Quebec?
Yes. And I've got good news.
I've been promoted!
FLAT FOR SALE
Hello, Kader.
Gran?
Grandson,
this isn't like last time.
Listen...
and accept the truth.
This isn't happening again.
Not bad.
Quite beefy.
No wedding ring. Interesting.
Or shifty.
Did you say something?
- No.
- Really?
Another nutter.
I must attract them.
What's going on?
I'll dump Éric tonight.
Éric, I'm dumping you.
That's how it will go.
I'm hungry.
A chocolate bar
with peanuts and caramel.
Roll on tonight.
Last episode
of Game Of Thrones.
Jon Snow, Jon Snow.
I'll get shouted at.
- Hello, Captain.
- Hi.
- What are you reporting...?
- Theft of a mobile phone.
- Today?
- Yes.
- Where?
- In the street.
Someone must have taken it
from my bag.
I only realised later.
He'll k*ll me if he finds out.
I have to do this.
Write it down.
Describe what happened.
What an idiot. So clumsy.
As long as my dad doesn't
find out it's down the toilet.
I'll lie.
Everything will be fine.
Here we go.
You're great at lying.
- It fell in the toilet?
- What?
Your phone.
How does he know that?
Is it written on my face?
No. It was stolen.
Don't react.
Keep a straight face.
Stay calm.
And don't scratch.
Smile. It's all fine.
That guy is weird.
How did he know?
Captain Cherif.
First at the sh**ting range.
The Glock is better
than the Beretta.
I deserve this job, sir.
No. That's a bit pretentious.
I'll put it another way.
6th night on stakeout.
I'm exhausted.
But it'll be worth it.
We'll get him.
Where's the report I asked for?
You'll have it in 2 minutes.
I hope so.
He's such a pain. Loser.
It would be more fun
if Joël was Commissioner.
Joël is sexy,
with his rolls.
I bet he's great in bed.
I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
Hello, Captain.
Why's he looking at me like that?
What's wrong with him?
Kader doesn't look too good.
Right.
- I'll get back to the front desk.
- Yes.
Is it not going well with Briard?
OK, Kader? You seem off.
Don't say anything. Think.
- Pardon?
- Think.
What are you doing?
- Hello, Commissioner.
- Hello, Captain.
- Something on my face?
- No.
All right?
I mean, what's new?
I only saw you 5 minutes ago.
Yes, true.
Yes, Joël?
- Good to speak to you.
- Likewise.
We're at the Iris maternity hospital.
Two staff have been att*cked:
one dead and one injured.
We need you.
That badly injured?
They had a baby with them.
The baby's gone.
I'll wait for you.
I think it was the stork.
Fed up with doing deliveries.
Laugh.
WHAT ADELINE WANTS...
I'm glad you're here.
Too much testosterone around.
The deceased is called
Fabrice Nordier, 27, midwife.
That's equality.
He's worked here for a while.
I must call home.
He must be the cop.
You can just tell.
He's better than the one
from this morning.
She's not listening.
- I can't bear her voice.
- Too busy watching that guy.
- What about the baby?
- Ethan Rossi, 3 days old.
The mum is upstairs.
Éva, 34, an architect.
No father registered.
Let's split up.
I'll look at the crime scene.
- It's weird. I can't hear you.
- Is he going deaf?
- I'll deal with the crime scene.
- Yes.
No, I...
I'll go and see the mum.
OK.
Joël, let's go.
OK.
The patient in 127 is lovely,
but it's terminal.
I thought something was missing.
I think I've found it.
Your presence, Adeline.
- Thanks, Philippe.
- Welcome.
Right. What have we got?
The victim struggled before
being thrown against that sink.
His head hit the edge.
He d*ed instantly.
How's the other victim?
Concussion, bruising,
but she'll be OK.
The doctors are with her.
Anything else?
It was quite violent.
The victim's 1.92 m tall.
He was thrown around the room.
The attacker must be big.
Maybe,
but the prints don't correspond.
In my opinion,
there were several.
- It's a nightmare.
- Breathe.
It's only a nightmare.
Where is he?
Where's my baby?
Where is he?
I must calm down.
Come on, concentrate.
Concentrate.
That's it.
Someone took my baby,
and I'm useless.
You can help us.
I have some questions to ask.
Yes. Go on.
It won't help.
I... Could the father...
of the baby be involved
in his disappearance?
No. I had this baby on my own.
The dad doesn't know.
They'll never find him.
In the last few days,
did you notice anything odd?
Any detail
that's caught your attention?
No.
Not a thing.
Nothing.
I haven't seen anything.
I didn't notice anything.
I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be sorry.
We're questioning all the staff.
Everyone at the hospital.
You have to find him.
You have to find my baby.
We'll do everything
to find your child.
We will find him.
Find him.
Promise me.
I promise.
We will find him.
Now get some rest. OK?
- He needs his mum to be well.
- Yes.
It'll be OK.
He's right.
I must try and rest.
I must rest.
Well?
She's still unconscious.
Someone breaks in,
kills a midwife, injures a doctor
and kidnaps a baby?
We'll find him.
It's weird.
Why can't I hear you?
I didn't say anything.
What if we don't find him?
Do you never think...
we might fail?
Well...
I don't want to fall.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die.
- What is it?
- Just a minute.
I don't want to. No.
Keep away from me.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Get out!
She saw her attacker.
Pardon?
I... I think...
I think she saw her attacker.
Yes, Baudemont?
Great. On our way.
They have something
on the CCTV.
Can I have your attention, please?
Look at this photo.
We're looking for this woman.
Do you recognise her?
She was seen
shortly after the att*ck.
Ethan disappeared 3 hours ago.
If any of you saw this woman
or heard anything,
now's the time to say.
We're not safe here.
It's like a sieve.
It's awful to take a baby.
When they find her...
Never seen her.
It's unbelievable.
And a woman too.
I can't see anything
from this photo.
You can't recognise anyone
from that.
It couldn't be her.
No, it isn't.
It does look like her.
Hello.
Hello.
You know her, don't you?
How does he know?
You seem tense.
Don't worry.
I'm not accusing you.
He's freaking me out.
How does he know?
Thanks.
If you know something, tell me.
I need to know now.
He's right.
I have to tell him.
There was a problem, last year.
A miscarriage.
The patient sued the hospital.
It didn't go well.
I saw her today.
Her name is Mélodie Rival.
33 years old. She sued
for medical negligence.
It was dismissed.
The clinic wasn't responsible.
She's not at home.
We're searching the hospital.
There's something
you should know.
She lost her baby
exactly a year ago.
You're lucky.
Thanks.
I'll put out a bulletin.
Disinfectant.
I'll come back for that.
I'm here, darling.
I'll protect you.
I'll protect you.
Calm down.
I know you're frightened.
You're lucky.
I'm here now.
Mummy's here.
We're together now.
They're coming for you.
They'll take you away from me.
They'll hurt you.
Who's he?
What's he doing there?
He's come for you.
Hello, Mélodie.
Hello.
I'm Captain Cherif.
I'll go to prison.
It's all right.
They'll lock me up.
Don't be scared.
I won't hurt you.
He'll take my baby.
He'll take him.
The baby you're holding
is called Ethan.
Ethan. A little boy.
His mum is worried.
- It suits you.
- She thought she'd lost him.
That's not what you want, is it?
No.
I don't want her to suffer.
I haven't done anything.
I don't want to give him back.
We can sort this out, Mélodie.
Give me the baby.
No. I want to keep him.
I can give him back to his mum.
No one will hurt him?
That's why I'm here.
I won't let anyone hurt him.
I'm sure he's lying.
He's lying.
I'm coming over.
No, you can't take him.
I'll give him back to his mum.
No, he's my baby.
He's my baby.
Everything is OK.
No, no. Don't cry, don't cry.
Give me the baby.
I won't.
You have to give him to me.
I don't want to.
It's all right, little one.
It's all right.
I haven't done anything.
I haven't hurt anyone.
I went in because I heard a fight.
I heard a woman and two men.
The baby was crying.
I was protecting him.
Ethan...
My darling...
My darling...
Mummy is here.
I never thought we'd find him.
That cop is good.
Thank you.
What an incredible guy.
It's all right, my darling...
You're OK, my angel.
Mummy is here.
I love you so much.
Mummy missed you.
My nappy is wet.
Are you picturing
baby Cherif and baby Briard playing?
I can imagine them
in the forest behind the house.
I don't want my children
to grow up in town.
I wanted to say that I too
sometimes think we might fail.
It passes.
Stéphane, a birth...
It happens to me too.
I bet 10 to 1 he'll faint.
We haven't even chosen a name.
I may as well give birth
on my own.
Are you OK?
You're being weird.
Is something wrong?
No. No.
Well, yes.
- Something crazy is going on.
- What?
I can hear women's thoughts.
You see?
That's a good one!
He had one thing to remember.
- I swear it's true.
- Stop it.
I swear.
He forgot the case.
It was in the hallway.
- Listen.
- Loser.
Madam! Madam!
You're cross with your husband.
No, listen.
You're cross
because he forgot your suitcase.
Isn't that right?
Is he crazy?
That's what you were thinking.
I swear...
What am I thinking?
Think louder.
Much louder.
It doesn't work with you.
Pity.
Shall we question Mélodie Rival?
So she can confess?
I am serious.
- How did you do it?
- What?
When you took the baby from Mélodie,
she didn't tell you this.
This?
She told me
exactly the same thing as you.
"I went in because I heard a fight.
"I heard a woman and two men."
The baby was crying,
I saw the doctor and the man
on the ground.
"I heard a noise. I thought
the attacker was coming back."
And I panicked.
I took the baby from the crib
and fled.
Once I got
outside the hospital, I...
I didn't know where to go.
Word for word what she told me.
The report confirms it.
Mélodie's prints
are not on the victims.
So, how did you do it?
I'll tell you again.
I can hear voices.
I can hear women's thoughts.
Like in that film with Mel Gibson.
I know it seems crazy,
but Camille
has the hots for Baudemont.
I heard it. In her head.
That's a scoop.
Let me know when you've finished
taking the mickey.
At least we know
the att*cks and Ethan's
disappearance aren't linked.
- That's something.
- Yes.
And the k*ller went for Nordier.
He was the target.
Dr Jobert was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
I've checked his work history.
He's above reproach.
Yes?
Thanks very much.
Dr Jobert is awake.
I can't remember anything.
The harder I try, the less...
Why can't I remember?
Take your time.
It'll come back to you.
We think Fabrice Nordier
was the target.
Do you know
if he had any enemies?
Yes.
Fabrice worked part time
in a private practice.
There was this guy...
Paturel.
He accused him of fondling his wife
when he examined her.
They came to blows.
It isn't easy
for a man to be a midwife.
Some men think
their wife's body belongs to them.
This time it got out of hand.
Fabrice didn't tell the police?
He said it would calm down.
Things weren't great
between Paturel and his wife.
They separated
after the fight at the doctor's.
I imagine he blamed Fabrice.
Yes.
It was awful.
I should have insisted.
What will I do without him?
Were you together long?
What?
How does he know?
We weren't really together.
I don't want to talk about it.
Every detail could help us.
I didn't have time to kiss him.
I was with Fabrice.
Why can't I remember?
Then nothing.
Why can't I remember?
I can't remember.
We'll let you rest.
It hurts so much.
It's hard to say
without seeing her,
but from what you say,
her symptoms
are from post-traumatic stress.
And do these black-outs
last long generally?
I can't say.
The mind blocks violent memories,
but it's not irreversible.
We have to wait.
She needs professional help.
I could see her, if you like.
I'll suggest it.
Thank you, Doctor.
My pleasure.
I thought you wanted to talk
about your own situation.
Is this your first day back?
Yes. Yes.
All right?
All going well?
Actually, it's weird. It's...
Kader has become Super Kader.
He sees things I don't,
hears things I don't.
I don't feel at home here.
That's what you said
last time we met.
You want to stop.
Excuse me.
I have to go.
Thanks for coming, Doctor.
Don't hesitate to call, Adeline.
Sophie
Kader Cherif
Paturel will be delivered
to Captain Briard in 15 minutes.
- Just in time.
- Perfect.
- See you soon.
- See you.
So, Victor Paturel,
28 years old, electrician,
specialising in maintenance.
Conviction for as*ault and battery
with a four-year sentence.
Not bad.
So you've looked up my record.
That's easy.
When I wanted to file a complaint,
you weren't interested.
And what about
this so-called fondling
of your wife?
It wasn't so-called.
I saw him.
He groped her.
He was a midwife and your wife
was 7 months pregnant.
You think
he was examining her for fun?
- He touched her.
- That's his job.
- She's my wife.
- It's her pregnancy
and her body.
- She threw you out.
- She didn't!
Try to keep calm.
I know it's hard.
We're interested in your
altercation with Fabrice Nordier.
- That's why I'm here?
- Exactly.
All because of a few texts.
57 calls,
231 texts in 3 weeks.
Shall I read some out?
We'd like to know
about this morning.
Did you do this?
No. What is this?
Scaring people is one thing,
but I'm not a k*ller.
You expect me to believe that?
Ask my wife.
We're back together.
I went with her to the doctor
this morning.
That's good.
Will she give the same answer
if we ask her?
Between us, it's electric.
You can always ask the doctor.
She'll confirm I was there.
"Electric"?
Because you're an electrician.
I just got it.
- Very good.
- Yes.
The doctor confirmed.
Paturel was with her and his wife
at the time of the m*rder.
Maybe he had an accomplice.
He talks big,
but he's not a k*ller.
Apart from Paturel,
no one had it in for Nordier.
And Alexa?
Yes?
What about her?
They're on their way.
The officer guarding Dr Jobert
has been att*cked.
Like this morning.
Alexa Jobert was att*cked again.
I told you: I was sleeping,
and when I woke up,
he was on the ground.
No. I mustn't fall.
I mustn't lie down on the couch.
I can't get him off.
Everything's fine.
You're safe now.
He tried to crush me.
I tried to stay standing,
but he was too strong.
Let me go.
Let me go. Let me go.
Doctor Jobert, who hates you?
I can't get him off.
- Did you see his face?
- No.
Alexa, can you tell me
what you actually saw?
I saw nothing.
I saw a green ceiling
and he crushed me.
Stop questioning me.
Stop questioning me.
Alexa, you need to rest.
That's it.
That's enough now.
The police will be responsible
for your safety.
Come with me.
Don't let her out of your sight.
Of course not.
I know my job.
- You heard what she said.
- Yes.
There's no green ceiling
in her room.
Nor a couch.
She's confused.
She's not confused.
She remembered another att*ck.
But she has no memory
of the two att*cks today?
What do you have
on the 3rd att*ck?
There's a gap of 3 weeks in her life,
a year and a half ago.
She's never off sick,
so it seemed suspect.
She said she'd had the flu,
but she'd changed.
You think that was when
she was first att*cked?
We can't be sure.
But at the time, there were
several r*pes in that area.
The serial r*pist came back
2 years later
to att*ck Dr Jobert again?
That would be simpler.
But the r*pist is in prison.
We need to start again.
With Alexa, the maternity clinic,
and her former hospital.
We're missing something.
Alexa Jobert has gone home.
They couldn't stop her.
I won't be able
to keep a guard on her for long.
Baudemont and Gabriel
are there now.
Captain Briard, you take over.
- Cherif, you're next.
- OK.
Brilliant. A flush.
I'm good at this.
Oh, no!
Kader Cherif is watching.
Game of Thrones,
Game of Thrones.
The end of the day.
I can go home and...
He's been on at me all day.
No rest.
That's it. I can continue.
That's right,
go back in your office.
It's time.
I have to take over
from Baudemont.
Be careful.
Don't worry about me.
See you later.
Why can I hear the thoughts
of women I meet?
But not Adeline's?
What do I have to understand?
What are you trying to tell me?
This time,
you have to accept it, Kader.
Accept what?
Accept what?
- Sorry.
- Forgive me.
- I didn't mean to scare you.
- Sorry.
Here.
The person you mentioned...
- Dr Azouri?
- Yes.
Yes?
I've never liked psychiatrists.
And I'm an obstetrician.
He's good at helping you
ask the right questions.
And...
is Captain Cherif coming too?
He seems reliable.
You're lucky to work with him.
I shouldn't say that.
No, no.
Excuse me a moment.
I can't talk now.
Why are you whispering?
Is your bloke there?
I told you. You're the perfect
candidate to replace me.
It's the other side of the world.
But it's a dream job,
with a huge salary.
It's not that simple.
I have a life here,
with someone.
You always dreamt of travelling.
You went on about it
at police college.
I'll let you think about it
and hassle you in the morning.
It's an incredible opportunity.
I'll give you an answer tomorrow.
OK?
- OK.
- Bye for now.
Are you OK?
Can I do anything?
Where's the Adeline I know?
The stubborn one,
the hard worker.
The Adeline you know...
I don't know who she is.
I'm rubbish.
Do you never worry
that we'll fail?
- Everything OK?
- Yes. She slept in the lounge.
Nothing to report.
Good.
- Are you OK?
- Yes. Yes.
No, it's just...
Sometimes
you don't notice details.
Not at first.
Or maybe I didn't want
to hear certain things, or...
Face up to them.
You don't want to be
a cop any more.
I... I wasn't sure,
with everything that's happened
this year.
I thought it would be better
after the trial, but it isn't.
The death of your brother,
and Garnier,
23 days in prison.
That's a lot for one person.
Definitely.
But I know one thing:
I don't want to be a cop.
And that...
Hello, Captain.
I've arrived at a bad time.
We'll discuss it tonight.
- OK.
- Bye, Alexa.
Bye.
Someone
must have seen something.
The guard said no one came in.
No one saw anything.
I'd like to show him this.
It's in here.
Thanks.
The book belonged to my father.
It was his house.
His library.
He was a good man.
Like you.
Thank you.
How does he explain the att*ck?
He can't.
He'd just come out
of Dr Jobert's room.
He heard a noise, he went in
and was thrown across the room.
He's convinced his attacker
was inside the room.
Inside?
Ever since I was little
I've set myself objectives
and hidden them in books.
Like this one?
"Buy a dog. Call it Nelly."
I was 8 when I wrote that.
"Buy my dad a nice car."
Did you?
I didn't have time, sadly.
The intention was there.
Fabrice Nordier
Alexa Jobert
"Apply to the Iris."
Did you write this
when you were 8?
- 9.
- No!
No.
I emailed the director of the Iris.
She said yes straightaway.
"Superficial injuries."
Indirect witness
Head injury
"Head injury."
"Gash on the head."
I was lucky.
Yes.
You turned up at the right time.
His partner is lucky to have him.
Why does she want to ruin it?
Pardon?
I was lucky
she said yes straightaway.
Yes!
Why does she want to go far away?
He's kind.
She'll make him sad.
Would you like a coffee?
Guard
Suspected attacker
Yes, that would be nice.
A strong one, please.
Why did I tell him all that?
It's ridiculous.
A woman alone in this big house.
What must he think of me?
I've said too much.
I hope the coffee isn't too bad.
I need to buy some more.
He's lucky
to be with a woman like her.
She's lucky too.
Should I invite him upstairs?
She's going anyway.
I wonder what he's doing.
I'm useless at this.
He's keeping me here.
What will he think of me?
I saw how he was looking at me.
He's interested...
Maybe he's looking at me?
His relationship won't last.
Alexa?
Alexa?
Alexa?
Alexa?
Alexa?
Get out!
Get out!
Get away from me! Get out!
Get out! Get out!
Get out!
Alexa, stop!
Alexa!
I'll k*ll you!
Alexa...
Alexa, can you hear me?
Everything is OK.
You're not in danger.
Can you hear me?
I'm here to help.
It's all OK.
No one wants to hurt you.
It wasn't Alexa
who att*cked you.
Nor did she att*ck Nordier
or the guard.
It's a man created in her mind.
How do you explain it?
She fought to rebuild her life,
but she did it by suppressing
all memories of the att*ck.
She wants to move on,
but she's scared of being att*cked.
This character is her protector,
who emerges
when she's faced
with her innermost fears.
Why did it all start with Nordier?
He got close to her.
k*lling the first man she'd had
a relationship with since her r*pe
triggered it in my opinion.
And what about the guard,
and me?
What happened with Nordier
made her vulnerable.
It's possible
that her need to protect herself
increased.
As did her need to find
someone to rely on.
Will she get over it?
She doesn't remember anything.
Her brain is blocking the memory,
once again.
So...
she doesn't know?
Will I be here much longer?
Hey!
Why am I here?
I haven't done anything.
Why are they keeping me here?
What have I done to them?
I haven't done anything.
I haven't done anything.
I haven't done anything.
I haven't done anything.
I don't dare touch you
at the moment.
It's fine. It's fine.
So...
you really want
to leave the police?
And it's...
It's funny how
everything happens at once.
A friend has offered me
a new job in Canada.
I like the idea, but...
my life is here.
I'll say no.
Canada. Wow!
Maybe you shouldn't say no.
Yes.
That's life, isn't it?
l love this city.
All my friends are here.
But I love you more, Adeline.
If we need to travel the world
to be together, then let's go.
Call your friend back.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
I can't ask you
to leave this city and your friends.
My life is with you.
If only I could tell you
how much I love you.
Me too.
Resignation letter
Is this a joke?
No, it's not a joke.
I've never been more serious.
This time I failed, Kader.
