Marie and Marion,
you're on court number 2.

Margaux,
you can go to court number 4.

- And Julie... Where's Sophie?
- I haven't seen her.

Anyone seen Sophie?

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie.

Sophie?

Who is it?

Shall we talk here or my office?

About what?

Adeline has been gone a month.

And I've solved 10 cases.

That's a complete season.

I'm on it...

Shutting yourself away
and working

isn't being "on it".

How much longer can you go on?

Jean-Paul,

it's nice of you to worry about me,
but I'm fine.

Honestly.

I want you to partner Le Goff.

You worked together before,
and it went well.

Yes, but no.

Fine.
You can work with me.

We'll start
with these overdue reports.

And since I'm not
getting into that antique...

"Remove Captain Cherif's car."

- You're joking.
- Really?

- I nearly fell for it.
- Come and see!

Off you go!

You wouldn't!

Jean-Paul...

No, you wouldn't dare.

That's not funny, Jean-Paul!

You have a choice.

My car!

No, my car...

Ah, cool.

That's lucky. Does your mate
still work at the pound?

No, I'm not welcome there.

I've got something for you.
Tonight,

live from the top tennis academy.

In this new episode,
with no increased licence fee,

a young tennis player
has just lost her match against life.

Game, set and m*rder.

Kader?

On my way.

You think you're on TV?

We are on TV.

May I?

Thanks.

She won't win Roland Garros now.

Friday Night Fever

Your car is a mess.

What's this?

When you arrest a suspect,

do you give them a biscuit?
- Very funny.

There was no car available.
But if you like,

there's a bus that goes
to the crime scene.

Let's start again.

Captain Cherif.
Delighted to work with you.

It would be better not to lie.

OK.

Cherif. I don't want to work
with you. It's not personal,

but I don't like having a partner.

That's better.

I didn't ask to be teamed with you.

I haven't forgotten the Ternier case.

You bear a grudge?

- You're a great cop.
- It's true.

- And a great guy.
- That too.

- Fostering Eddy proves it.
- No.

OK...

Listen, I'm new,

but I have 8 years' experience
with the Juvenile Squad.

It doesn't show.

OK.

We don't seem to be compatible.

I suggest we solve the case

and then ask to get assigned
separately, OK?

I quite agree.

I know how you feel.

Mind your own business.

I don't need your help.

Sorry, I didn't mean that.

What's he doing?
Hey!

No! Oh, it's Kader.

Hello.

Nice car.

I know. It's temporary.
One of Doucet's jokes.

So?

The victim is Sophie Talmon,
17, promising tennis player.

We've told her father,
who's a coach, but he's away.

He's coming back.

- Hi, Kader. You OK?
- Fine, you?

- Hello.
- Hello.

You're working together? Great.
That's good.

What have you got?

A bruise on the left cheek.

As if she's been hit on the head.

- And on the same cheek...
- A mark from a ring.

Cause of death?

Cranial trauma
with cerebral haemorrhage?

I need to check.
We'll see at the autopsy.

- Time of death?
- Between 2

and 4 AM.

Would you excuse me a moment?

She's pretty.

I'm glad you're not on your own.

It's to keep Doucet happy.

- Really?
- Yes.

Once the case is solved,
I'm back

to being single.
- Oh?

- I was happy on my own.
- Right. OK.

I'm almost done.
I'll be off.

"Tonight,
my life will change forever."

Her last post.

A premonition.

Speak to the people
she chatted to online.

And you can list her personal effects
and ask around,

and let me have the reports
as soon as possible. Thanks.

She's nice. I like her.

- Captain Le Goff?
- Yes.

I don't like her.
Know what she said to me?

- No.
- "Hello."

- Ah, yes, "hello"...
- Right.

What happened?

- We think...
- We're...

After you.

When did you last see
your daughter?

Yesterday afternoon, at training.

She said she didn't feel well,
but she did 3 hours.

3 hours training every day?

Every afternoon.

6 hours a day.

- Wow!
- That's hard.

Yes, it's hard,

but you can't give up.

You have to be the best
to succeed in life.

That's what I tell my children.

With Jérôme, it was easy.
He had natural talent.

Sophie was less talented.

She struggled,
but with hard work

and a good attitude, you get there.

Did she have a boyfriend?

No. And what next?

In the last few weeks,

did you notice any change
in her behaviour?

Her mother d*ed 3 months ago.

I'm so sorry.

It was very hard.

She became withdrawn,

and I said

the best thing was to work harder,

train harder.

Can you tell us
about her relationships

with her friends?

Delphine Codron.

Come in.

Sophie Talmon's father
told us about a rivalry

between his daughter
and Delphine Codron.

She tried to poison her.
We're bringing her in.

Good.

How's it going with Kader?
Any problems?

- Just one.
- Yes?

I'm not Adeline Briard.

- Hi.
- Hi, Kader.

I thought I saw you come in.

Shouldn't you be in school?

- No, the maths teacher is sick.
- That's lucky.

Have you heard
from the social worker?

Isn't she coming this week?

Dunno.

We should unpack.

- I am.
- We need to rehearse

what you mustn't say
if you want to stay here.

We revise my English by watching
Game of Thrones in French.

- In English.
- "In English."

That...

That you interview
m*rder witnesses at home.

- Yes.
- We only eat pizza.

Don't exaggerate,
we eat vegetables too.

And kebabs.

- Yes.
- You've been depressed

since Adeline left.

- What? Don't say that!
- What?

- Mummy Cherif.
- Come here, you rascal.

- All right?
- Hi, Mum.

I've not come to bother you.
I'm here to see Eddy.

All right?

He's supposed to be in school
this morning.

Everything OK?

- Yes, fine.
- Are you sure?

Stop worrying, Mum.
I'm fine.

I don't like you working on your own.

- I'm happy on my own.
- He's not working on his own.

Oh?

Why am I the last to know?

I was going to call you.

What's she like?

What's he like.

Yes, what's he like.

- "He"?
- Yes, he's nice.

Excuse me.

I have to take this.

Captain,
Delphine Codron is here.

Be right there.

I have to go. Bye, Mum.

Make yourself at home.

Don't get up to any mischief!

Bye.

Yeah.

Sophie and I
weren't the best of friends.

But you think
I could do such a thing?

We know about the poisoning.

Did coach Talmon tell you?

That man is crazy.

He thinks I drugged her
so she'd lose.

He couldn't bear me winning.

Why would coach Talmon
make it up?

When it comes to his daughter,
he can't face reality.

What floor are you on?

The second?
Where were you last night

between 2 and 4 AM?

I was asleep.

Can I go? I've a competition.

We're just getting started.

We'll take a break.

A coffee break.

Phone.

Thank you.

What are you doing?
We can't just stop.

- She lied about last night.
- She was checking the time.

- She'd have talked.
- She's worried about her match.

I don't know how
you worked with Briard,

but I decide
when the interview is over.

Coffee, decaf for you.
I'm just saying,

only the competition
matters to her.

Criminal Minds,
season 2, episode 10.

The agents alter the watch

so the suspect
loses track of the time.

- It'll work.
- If we're working together,

TV series won't help us.

I've heard that before. Mum!

I don't like decaf.

- What do you want?
- It's Eddy.

We need to discuss his birthday.

It was last month.

- Not introducing me?
- No.

You're ashamed of me.

- What?
- Yes.

- You won't introduce me.
- Don't say that...

OK, Mum.
Roxane!

This is my mother.

- Mum, Roxane. Roxane, Mum.
- Nice to meet you.

All right?

OK. My office is this way, Mum.

- This way.
- Bye.

- See you soon.
- Thanks.

- Mum, what is it?
- She's lovely.

Mum...

Mum, what's the problem?

I'm worried about you
working with her.

- Why?
- Because...

I have no partner, you worry,
I have a partner, you worry.

She has a wedding ring.

She's married,
she has two children.

Happily married?

I don't know.

So there's no hope.

Adeline has gone,
the neighbours are laughing at me.

- It's the shame.
- You can't marry me off

to all of my partners.
- You're making me unhappy.

- Mum...
- I don't feel well.

- Mum, don't upset yourself.
- I'm not well.

- I have to go.
- My head is spinning.

Go and sit down.
I have to get back to work.

- I'm going to faint.
- Make yourself at home.

What a mess!
I don't believe it.

I brought him up better.

There's a bin,
which he could try using.

Unbelievable.

Captain Cherif's office.

Social worker?
This afternoon?

I'll check with the Captain.

That's fine.

Anytime this afternoon.
Goodbye.

Can I have my phone?

It's 3 o'clock.
My match starts in half an hour.

I'll ask again.

What were you doing
between 2 and 4 AM?

My boyfriend came to see me.
Please don't say anything.

I could get thrown out for this.

He got there around midnight.

And then I saw Sophie

going over the wall again.

Sophie Talmon did that often?

Since her mother d*ed,
she's been going out

drinking.
- Oh?

- Did her father know?
- No.

He's a very strict coach.

Her brother knew.
He watched her.

Where did she go?

Studio 69,

a nightclub in the old town.

Come on.

I bet she won't finish the season.
Money talks.

- What's that thing?
- The titty mug?

It's Gabriel's.
Camille is right.

You should be ashamed.

- But...
- Who's the boss?

Get lost, you pervert.

- He's a quiet one!
- I know...

Studio 69...

It's owned by Max Manier,
a star in the '80s.

If she went there,
a client may have spotted her.

He follows her to her room,
kills her and leaves.

What do you think?

I think we should look at the family.

Christian Talmon has an alibi,
but the death of the mother,

a competitive brother and sister
with borderline behaviour,

trained by a tyrannical father.
- "Tyrannical"...

That's a bit strong.

See what you can find out
at Studio 69,

but look into the family too.
Kader.

I'm coming.

What is it?

I've played along,

but it's not working with Roxane.

It's not going well?

It wouldn't matter if it was her
or someone else.

Carry on as you are,
unless you want to work with me.

Jean-Paul,
it was funny for a while.

I don't want to have a partner.

I want to work alone.
It isn't complicated.

- Yes, I can tell you she was here.
- Oh? How come?

- Did she win the dance contest?
- I wish.

At 1 AM, there was a fight
because of her.

Her brother wanted
to take her home.

He said she was here,
and she was underage.

They caused a scene.

- We don't want any trouble.
- Rebecca!

- Yes, Max?
- Have you done what I asked?

- Yes.
- Then why haven't I heard?

- I'll call again.
- Yes. Do your job.

He's nicer on TV.

He has a lot going on.

There's the club, and he's working
on his new album...

Was there anything else?

What did her brother do
when he found her?

He was very angry.

The bouncers told him
to calm down.

She didn't want to go,
but we had no choice.

It'll be on the CCTV.

- Which you'll want?
- Yes.

The one covering the car park,
please.

Of course.

- Excuse me. Yes, Max?
- Did you call?

- I'll do it now.
- Some assistant...

- And the hairdresser?
- I'll just finish with...

I'll leave you with Bryan.
I've asked him to come.

He'll give you
everything you need.

So...

From the video we know
Jérôme collected his sister at 1:14

and it didn't go well.

Kader, ma'am.

We've picked up the brother.

He's in room 2.
His father is here too.

We made him stay in reception.

Thanks.

Yes! What a team.

Excuse me, Sergeant,

do I look like a super-hero?

The invisible woman

in the Fantastic Four?
- No.

You can see me.

- Yes.
- I just wondered.

The invisible woman...

Before going to bed,

I went to see my sister
in her room,

but she wasn't there.

It wasn't the first time
since Mum d*ed.

I knew where she was.

So you went to get her.

I was sure she'd be at Studio 69.

She had an important tournament
today.

Please don't tell my father.

Why not?
He won't blame you.

- You don't know him.
- True.

You took her back to her room.
And then?

I went to bed.
I had a competition too.

Put your hands
on the table please.

Your hands.

You hit her.

I bet the mark on her cheek
is a perfect match with your ring.

Why did you hit her?

Because she disobeyed your father?

I've said all I have to say.

That's what you think.

I need a lawyer.

Yes.

Where's my son?
I want to see him.

You'll see him, don't worry.

Let's start

at the beginning.

- Tell me what happened.
- Go in.

Sit down.

Two minutes.

We need to plan this.

The Practice, season 4, episode 14.
They use the father

to make the son confess.
- Not a good idea.

I know what I'm doing.
Let me do my job.

I'm listening.

I'm listening.

- What did you do to her?
- Mr Talmon, stop.

Stop.

Please.

When we got back to her room,

she provoked me.

She said she'd go out again
once I left,

she was fed up
with tournaments and tennis.

I told her to think of you,
but she laughed.

And then?

I knew we'd both be punished
if you found out she'd gone out.

I slapped her.

She hit her head.
She stopped moving.

You left without calling for help?

I thought she was just groggy.

I put her into bed
and went back to my room.

She was breathing when I left,
I swear.

It was only when I got back
from the competition that...

I'm sorry, Dad.
I didn't mean to do it.

It's Captain Cherif here,

Your Honour.

It's about the Sophie Talmon case.

Jérôme Talmon, her brother,
is the k*ller.

Yes, he confessed,

so you can start proceedings.

You're welcome.
We do our best.

Case solved. Next m*rder.
What have you got?

A dog's been run over,
rue Bapaume.

A dachshund, so no big deal.

Just a second.
You were right.

It was the family.
One point to you.

- One point.
- One point is good.

- Don't call the Prosecutor yet.
- Too late.

You already called?

Should I have asked
your permission?

I didn't realise.

- Excuse me.
- Well!

Young people confess
to crimes they don't do.

I've seen it often enough.

Jérôme is hiding something.

We don't have the autopsy results.
And where's Christian Talmon?

You let him go
after what happened?

Are you on auto pilot?

What's going on?
Are you having a breakdown?

Fine.

Jérôme Talmon confessed.
Case closed.

I'm going to take his statement.
If you don't mind?

May I?

Cool, thanks.

Do you understand, Eddy?

It's better if I handle
the social worker.

- I don't need to wear a shirt.
- You look great.

- Hello, Eddy.
- Hi.

Hello, how are you?

Captain Cherif couldn't make it.

I'm his mum.
Have a cake.

I made them especially.
Some tea?

Maybe later.

OK.

Excuse the mess.

My son was moving to the States
with his partner.

I thought she was the one,

but there were complications.

He hasn't had time to unpack.

Kader is a police officer,
a captain.

He's very busy at the moment.
Work, work, work.

Luckily he has his mother

to do the cooking and cleaning.

Otherwise it would be a tip.

Why are you laughing?

Hold on.

Look.
This is Sarah, his daughter.

Brilliant, level-headed.

She was selected to study
in Boston, in America.

Kader didn't want her to go,

but after the kidnapping,
he changed his mind.

A kidnapping?

She wasn't really kidnapped.

Of course she was, you liar!

OK... Well,
I think that's all for today.

- OK.
- For the moment.

- See you later, Eddy.
- Have a cake.

- No, thank you.
- Go on!

- Leave it.
- I'm sure she'll have one.

I made them for you.

It took me all day.

They're gazelle horns!

- I hope you're right.
- I'm always right.

It can get annoying.

You're so cute the pair of you!

- All right?
- Autopsy results?

Sophie Talmon
was suffocated with a pillow.

I found fibres in her larynx.

Jérôme didn't mention a pillow...

Oh, sh*t!

Have you made a blunder?

Thanks.

Are you OK?

Listen...

We don't think
you k*lled your sister.

You know,

I had a father like yours.

Whenever I disappointed him,

which was often,

my stomach was in knots.

So I started lying.

There are things I can't tell him.

I'm not your dad.

You're safe.

Tell me.

All right?

Yes.

Proceedings have been started.

Prints, DNA...
The kid has a file.

Kader,
everyone makes mistakes.

The question is how to put it right?

The Prosecutor won't listen.

She says
it's up to the judge now.

It could take weeks.

All I can do

is make sure
they take care of him in prison.

I spoke to Jérôme Talmon.
He was hiding something

he wouldn't say in front
of his father.

His sister went to Studio 69
not to see her mates,

but a man,
a man her father's age.

Jérôme is convinced
something was going on.

You were right.
It is connected to the night club.

All right!
I know I screwed up, OK?

Yes, you did.

I have to get him out.

I don't know how,
but I'll find a way.

Hi.

All right?
Wow, Eddy, you look great!

Going out?

Anything wrong?

- You don't look happy.
- It's nothing, son.

A misunderstanding
with the social worker.

She called round unexpectedly.

The social worker?
Unexpectedly?

Yes.
They should warn you.

"A misunderstanding"...

I'm lucky she didn't take me
back to the home.

Don't listen to him.
He exaggerates.

You were the same at his age.

Right. I have something urgent to do,

but don't worry, I'll deal with it.

- Really?
- Yes. I have to go.

Hold on, Kader.

You know...

I don't think it's deliberate,

but your mother
is one of those people

who when they compliment you,
are actually criticizing.

- So...?
- Well,

she was very complimentary to you.

No, I told you,
you have to be in costume.

Good evening.

Do you have a clothing issue?

Hello, Captain Cherif.
Do you have a search warrant?

You look different.

This might help.

Since you can't just show your badge.

Where did you get that?

It's my husband's.
He's a bit broader than you, but...

For months

this song was in the Top 50.
- Maybe, but my thing

is more Curtis Mayfield,
Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin...

- OK, but this is my youth.
- Thank you!

Thank you, friends.

Do you want to have fun tonight?

I can't hear you.
Do you want to have fun tonight?

The brother and sister
were arguing.

It wasn't her day.

Before her brother found her,
the bouncers threw her out.

Do you know why?

She was in the boss's office.

You need to get up there.

How can I do that

without showing my badge?

I've got an idea.

Ally McBeal,
season 1, episode 16.

Wow!

Get down!

What are you doing?

No, it's...

I'm a fan, Max.

You know that record
is very rare?

I only had a dozen made

for the important women
in my life.

You're not one of them.
Well...

That could change.

Get down from there!

I've been rehearsing that
for 3 months.

What?
Get out of here.

Is that what happened
with Sophie?

- Sophie?
- Sophie Talmon.

Remember her?

My little sister.

She looks familiar.
Did she come to my shows?

Often.
And she was in your office.

You think I'd bring a kid up here?

Your sister is fine, don't worry.

You're quite nice.

Honestly.

Alright, calm down.

- Wow, you're brunette.
- What's going on?

- She's a cop.
- A cop?

- Are you OK?
- Yes.

All right?

I haven't done that
since I was a teenager.

- Have you grown up?
- Did you find anything?

He says he doesn't know her,
but I found this rare record.

I saw the same one
in Sophie's room.

Shall we take my car or yours?

No, I'm going home, I'm going
to sleep for 4 hours, 3 hours,

then get my children up
and we can go tomorrow,

first thing, OK?

OK.

See you later.

All right?

Is it the social worker?

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

I was fine here.

You haven't gone yet.

I'll call her and it'll all be fine.

OK?

Don't you believe me?

OK.

Watch.

- Hello?
- Hello. Captain Cherif here.

Sorry to bother you,
but I couldn't be here yesterday.

Eddy speaks highly of you.

There's no point trying
to influence me, Mr Cherif.

To be honest,

your lifestyle isn't suitable

for fostering a child.

I'll inform you of my decision
in writing. Goodbye.

Oh.

Well, that's that.

The records are her mother's.

Her name is on them.

Bingo.

"Darling, this is the last time

"I'll write to you..."

Max Manier is her father?

I didn't know,
I didn't speak to her.

I don't know.

Sophie got into your office,
then she was k*lled.

Over my 40-year career,

a lot of women
have been obsessed with me.

Some crazy ones.

The price of fame.

Something like that happened
10 years ago.

What?

Ludovic: his mother told him

that I was his father.
I believed it.

I'd had a relationship
with his mother,

but when we did DNA tests,
it wasn't the case.

So when Sophie turns up
10 years later

claiming to be your daughter...

I told you I never spoke to her.

There was a time in my life
when if I'd had a daughter,

I'd have hidden it,
because of my fans.

If a daughter turned up now,

I'd acknowledge her.

I've got things to do.

So are you arresting me
or letting me go?

Here! The best burger in Lyon.

- A vegetarian one?
- Yes.

I found some articles
on his alleged son.

And others
from when he was young.

Who's the girl?

Remind you of anyone?

Rebecca,

his assistant?

Or his daughter.

You.

It has to be you.

I've got yesterday's takings.
Up by 2,000.

What did you do?

I didn't want her getting close.

- Why?
- I knew

she wasn't just a fan.

So I made friends with her
and kept watch.

I'm sorry, Dad.
I didn't want to lose you.

Lose me?
She might not be my daughter.

She did a DNA test
from one of your hairs.

It matched.

She was going to tell you.

I couldn't let her separate us,

so I had them thrown out,
followed them

and waited until she was alone
in her room

and suffocated her.

You're completely mad.

I did everything for you,

but no one was allowed to know
I was your daughter.

You go that way, I'll go this way.
Roxane, stay cool.

I'm always cool.

Never once did you say:
"I'm proud of you, darling"

or "I love you".

Not once!

You think
I'd let her take my place?

I'm sorry, I didn't realise.

No! Don't do that, Rebecca.

- I need you.
- You need a sl*ve!

- You don't care.
- You know what I'm like.

I don't show my feelings.
You know that.

And you know that...

That?

Say it to my face.

I don't ask much.
Say something nice for once.

Talk to me like a father.

I'm your daughter!

- Rebecca...
- Stay back!

Tell her.

Tell her.

I promise we'll start over.

We'll start over, I promise.
I love you, darling.

I love you.

Come on. I meant it.

I'll get you the best lawyer.

I love you.

I love you.

Mr Talmon, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Just a minute.

I wanted to tell you
I was sorry, Jérôme.

I'm truly sorry.

I thought my son
had k*lled my daughter.

I know.

It can't make up
for what you've gone through,

but if you need help,
you can count on me.

- That's too easy.
- No.

No, it isn't.

He caught the k*ller.
He cleared Jérôme.

You should think about why
your son didn't tell you the truth.

Hello?

Of course.

Tomorrow at 5 PM.

Thanks. Bye.

The social worker.
Giving us a second chance.

I don't know what made her
change her mind.

When you were
with the Juvenile Squad,

you must have met
a few social workers.

I met a few, over the 8 years.

You called her.

Shall we go?

I'd like to get home
before school finishes.

Cool.

- Hi, Dad. All right?
- Hello, darling.

- How are you?
- Great.

A bit tired, but fine.

- How about you?
- I'm fine.

You know... I miss you.

I miss you, just a bit.

Stop it, Dad.
I miss you all.

I've got a new partner.

Her name is Roxane.

Thanks, Cherif
