Hey, the party's over, buddy.
Good heavens, this is a mess.
Astrid.
Astrid!
- You are shouting. Did you hurt yourself? - No, I had a nightmare.
- Good. - You think it's good I had a nightmare?
I think it is good you did not hurt yourself.
Go back to sleep.
In order to sleep, you have to close your eyes.
Raphaëlle.
All right. Niels, I must leave.
Only I cannot leave because you are here and I cannot leave you alone.
I am responsible.
You know, Mom had to leave sometimes too. She just called for a sitter.
A person of trust.
Do you know a person of trust?
- I was afraid I'd woken you up. - Niels had a nightmare.
Right! He's at your place, of course.
Niels sleeps at my place one night a week, on Tuesday night.
The night after I come eat at your place.
Who's watching him then?
A sitter. A person of trust.
You're Astrid's mom, aren't you?
Yes dear, that's right.
You knew Dad well.
A long time ago, yes. I knew him very well.
Can you tell me about him?
I think you should talk about him with Astrid.
I'm not sure.
You don't want to?
Come on, time to sleep now.
It seems to be the murder weapon.
There are multiple impacts, as if he was hit relentlessly.
And the last blow hit the artery, here in the thigh.
(Breton)
Yeah, ma'am, I can confirm he's dead, very dead, that's for sure.
You speak Breton, Fournier?
I'm from Botmeur in the North Finistère. My mother only spoke Breton.
(Breton)
I got "Kouign Amann" but I must be wrong.
She said she saw Ankou.
- What's Ankou? - It's the symbol of death for Bretons.
He usually appears as a skeleton
with a large hat and a scythe fitted backwards.
Of course! Well now, I have a description. We can launch a wanted notice.
- Hey, hey, hey, wait! - Something wrong?
She's right.
- He's already dead. - Yes. You already said that.
He is dead, very dead.
No, no, wait, you don't understand.
The victim here, is Erwan le Treach.
Le Treach family? The industrialist's son? But it's…
- The problem is he already died. - Yes, two years ago.
- Thank you for coming. - You're welcome. How are you?
Honestly, I'm good. The last results are comforting.
The cancer was found in time.
The doctor is optimistic.
I will have to follow a rather heavy medical protocol,
which my current detention conditions don't allow me to follow.
I have to go to a specialized penitentiary center.
In Toulouse.
- For how long? - Six months for starters, maybe more.
Your brother will go to live there with Niels.
Shit!
After everything I've done to get Astrid and him closer.
How will she take being apart from him?
Honestly, I'm more worried about her having to give up
on a ritual she had a hard time installing.
But Niels not being apart from you is the priority.
It's not your fault.
Will you talk to her?
I came as soon as I saw your message.
- Did I miss anything? - 22 minutes.
The DNA analysis confirmed that the man found murdered in the Breton bar
is indeed Erwan Le Treach.
You can't die twice.
So I asked the DA for an exhumation order.
Because, if you really found Erwan Le Treach tonight,
it means there's someone else in his coffin.
What if there's no one in the coffin?
Maybe it means that he's back from the dead.
You'd better not start with that!
Last night was Halloween.
Well she's right, Commissioner.
Halloween is inspired from Samhain Night in Celtic culture.
It's the night when the door between
the realms of the dead and the living is open.
Thank you.
- Remind me how Erwan Le Treach died? - Charred in a car accident.
So this guy is not Erwan Le Treach.
But he's charred all right.
He would have died in a car accident two years ago?
There is a body of consistent evidence telling us
that this man did not die in a car accident.
He has a large wound on his throat, here.
- Couldn't he have got it in the accident? - No, she's right.
The wound necrotized long before being exposed to fire.
And here are other traces of decomposition prior to the burns.
Meaning?
Meaning Lieutenant Nielsen is right:
this guy was dead for at least a week when he burned.
It's confirmed.
The body was burned post-mortem.
And the medico-legal report indicates
the victim died following a larynx perforation.
It doesn't match with a car accident, he was stabbed.
So he was stabbed, then his body was put in a car
to disguise his murder as an accident?
Well, it sure looks like it.
And since Erwan disappeared at the same time,
we can assume he's the one who killed him
and used this accident to fake his own death, right?
But the stranger we found in the coffin
couldn't have disappeared unnoticed, right?
Fournier is clear: the coroner who identified the body
has a problem with his eyes.
The body we found inside the coffin is of a 70 year-old man.
He has an artificial hip joint, signs of arthrosis.
- It's impossible to mistake it.. - Impossible indeed. Keep digging.
There was no investigation.
The National Gendarmerie
immediately concluded that this was a traffic accident.
Erwan Le Treach lost control of his vehicle
before crashing into a tree and catching fire.
One Gendarmerie report and a death certificate.
- Is that all? - And three photographs. Yes.
Raphaëlle, it is not quantity that makes an archive's worth,
but it's content.
Sometimes, a 1000-page file contains no relevant information.
And sometimes, a short document contains- - A nugget.
I was thinking of a precious piece of information.
Precious, like a nugget. A gold nugget. It is a figure of speech.
Look. Here.
- Gwendal Leroux. - Yes.
It is the name of the doctor who identified Erwan Le Treach's body.
- When it was an old man's body. - Yes.
Fournier says he couldn't have made a mistake.
If he didn't make a mistake, then he lied.
What were they both up to?
My condolences, Mrs. Le Treach.
"My condolences."
I heard it so much two years ago.
Did your husband have any trouble when he disappeared?
No.
But admittedly before his…
His first death,
he wasn't all right.
The role they wanted him to play
was too big for him.
The role?
It was Loic's death, the eldest son, that changed everything.
He broke his neck falling down the stairs 10 years ago,
and when he died, Erwan became the family's elder.
And suddenly,
his father who always treated him like trash,
pressured him to become the head of the group.
Couldn't he tell him to get lost?
Nobody tells Christian Le Treach to get lost.
What's the meaning of all this?
Excuse me.
Erwan faked his own death?
- Mr. Le Treach. - That's me, yes.
- For now, we're not sure. - I am.
Erwan is a coward. Sounds like something he would do.
Your son was murdered last night.
I'm sorry.
Do you know the pain this masquerade caused his mother?
She, who already lost a son?
Not to mention his twin sister, the poor girl almost didn't get over it.
Dad.
- Are you sure it's Erwan? - DNA analysis confirms it, yes.
Then, who died two years ago?
That's exactly what we're trying to determine.
Did someone close to you
disappear at the same time as your brother?
A man, around 70 years old?
No, no. Not that I know, no.
- Gwendal Leroux, do you know that name? - Yes, of course.
He's our family doctor.
I'd rather you asked your questions to our lawyer.
This time, he will be buried in Gwadmeur,
in the family vault.
You know Erwan wanted to be buried in Montparnasse.
I don't give a damn what he wanted!
Yann!
I found information of the utmost importance about Gwendal Leroux.
Yes. Astrid, we'll talk over there, okay?
Gwendal Leroux, the doctor.
He also works in the diagnostic department at Saint-Louis hospital in Morlaix.
Yet, at the time of Erwan's fake death,
the hospital mortuary department reported the disappearance of a donated body.
- A body disappeared? - Yes. It is quite common, Raphaëlle.
In most cases, it is more of an administrative logging issue
than a real disappearance.
That is why no investigation was conducted.
However, here is a description
of the body of this missing person.
Albert Kergoat, 78 years old, had a hip replacement,
died from a larynx perforation following a farm accident, well, well.
This is a body of consistent evidence
seemingly indicating that this is the body found in Erwan Le Treach's coffin
during the exhumation.
I found the body.
According to Fournier, it really was Albert Kergoat's body in the coffin.
The cause of death matches.
He wasn't stabbed as we previously thought,
but he had trouble with a harvester.
How about the doc who identified him as Erwan Le Treach?
Either he's complicit in his disappearance,
or he's a suspect in his murder.
Or both.
A local gendarmerie squad went to apprehend him.
- Hello Commander Coste. - Yes, hello officer.
Are you with Dr Leroux?
I am,
but he's not available right now.
Yes, Gwendal Leroux, doctor in Gwadmeur.
According to the gendarmerie, this is a suicide, Mr. District Attorney.
Sure enough, but Mr. Leroux could be part of an investigation, and we would need to…
Very well sir, we'll wait for the Rennes gendarmerie to reach out.
No, no, no.
Hello Mr. District Attorney.
Commander Coste. I'm fine, and you?
Yes, I do know where Finistère is on a map of France.
I know it's not in our scope.
Sir, hear me out, we absolutely need to go to Gwadmeur.
Because Erwan Le Treach's fake accident occurred there.
Wait, one of the family's brother died there,
the victim's mother and twin sister still live there,
not mentioning Dr Leroux's recent suicide.
Yes, but he…
He's a suspect in Erwan Le Treach's death.
Sir, if you prevent us from going, we're gonna waste valuable time.
And I know you don't like to waste time.
Oh yes, my team is ready to go, yes.
We can be there as soon as tomorrow.
Understood sir. Thank you sir, thank you.
There.
- When you said your team was ready to go… - Fournier.
We'll need him, and he knows his ways around there.
- And you were thinking about Ms. Nielsen? - Yes.
I'm sure she can be ready quickly.
Good.
Strictly impossible.
On Thursday, I must go to the social aptitude workshop.
I never miss a session.
I know, but maybe you can make an exception.
For once, one exception.
On Tuesday,
Niels comes to sleep at my place.
But we'll be back by then!
Raphaëlle,
you cannot guarantee it.
The file.
I know I'm asking a lot from you.
But this case is very complex, and it'll need us to be together.
Please.
Raphaëlle, strictly impossible.
Not Brittany.
It's an unexpected move.
I give up.
Bravo, Astrid.
Want to go for a drink?
Maybe when you get back?
Very well.
Nico, you ready?
We have our escape game at 8PM. If we're late, we'll lose the slot.
Don't go too hard on the mead. I heard it makes you fall backwards.
- Enjoy your trip! - You too. I mean, enjoy...
Enjoy your trip.
Yes, Astrid.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
I know it's late, I'm sorry to bother you at this time but I…
I needed to talk to a friend.
May we talk tomorrow in the car?
- You're coming to Brittany? - Yes.
That's great! I'll come pick you up tomorrow at 7AM.
7AM, understood.
Great.
So?
What made you come in the end?
I am facing an enigma.
And I will need your help solving it.
You can count on me, I'm all ears.
Last night,
I beat Tetsuo in a game of go.
That's your enigma?
It is what happened next.
Our fingers touched.
Ah?
Yes. I think it was some sort of caress.
- No! - Yes.
Suddenly,
a fact that I had never thought of before struck me as being incredibly important.
I never did bim.
What?
I never did bim.
Raphaëlle, you braked rather abruptly.
- Yes. - One must not brake abruptly.
Yes, sorry, I'm sorry, but I didn't expect such a revelation.
You thought I already did bim.
I don't know, I never wondered.
I didn't expect you to talk to me about it now, like this.
Here's Fournier.
Perfect timing.
Hey ladies!
I'm so pumped up for this trip!
So are we, Fournier. So are we, yes.
I can't tell you how long it's been since I've left Paris for more than half a day.
A six-hour road trip, it'll go in a flash. We'll have a lot to talk about.
That's some deep sleep back there.
Dr Fournier's belt is unfastened.
It is dangerous. One must fasten their seat belt.
Dr Fournier is snoring. It is unpleasant.
Do you think what I felt for Tetsuo yesterday
can be likened to desire?
I can't confirm it, but it looks like it, yes.
- It is bothersome. - Bothersome? Why?
Because I feel it is something
irrational.
So it is something that could go beyond my control.
Okay. So… How can I…
You know Astrid, desire can't be controlled.
It is chosen.
And it's a path you're allowed to wander on, to cherry pick on.
And if you don't want to climb aboard Tetsuo's boat, don't feel compelled to.
If you only want to pick flowers, you can only pick flowers.
Wow! There.
Pick on flowers. Tetsuo's boat.
Raphaëlle,
I do not understand anything you are saying.
Yes, of course.
What I'm trying to say is…
You're allowed to take your time.
If Tetsuo loves you and respects you,
He'll understand the time you'll need.
I can't whistle.
Hello, we're looking for Dr Leroux's medical office.
- Take the next right. - Alright, thanks.
DOCTOR'S OFFICE
Hello?
- My umbrella. - Leave it here, I don't know.
I don't think anybody's here.
Hey oh!
Hello?
What's all this? Who touched the body?
The village elders wanted to hold a wake. It's tradition.
Well, that's a shame
because the criminal police tradition is to not disturb a crime scene.
It's not a crime scene, it's a suicide.
Well, Marie, Hélène, Jean,
come back later for the wake, okay?
- The Paris Police are in charge now. - Well yeah!
Don't push yourself, boy.
Nothing can be done for him. He's already dead.
Well, it's precisely my area of expertise.
Sorry, I told them to go.
They're a bit stubborn, here. You'll see.
Ronan Meur, I'm a warrant officer at the gendarmerie in the village.
We talked on the phone yesterday.
Since my accident, I'm on phone duty, but I used to be a criminal investigator.
I love being on the field.
- Do you know the village? - Do I know it? Yes, I was born here.
How about Dr Leroux and Erwan Le Treach, did they know each other?
- Oh yeah, he was his godfather. - His godfather?
Yeah, they were really close.
Erwan even lived with him for a few years when his father kicked him out.
Why did his father kick him out?
Erwan was about 16 years old,
and he fought with his big brother, Loic.
- The heir. - The heir, as you say.
He was a fighter.
He was the one provoking his little brother.
And as usual,
Christian Le Treach only cared for him, so Erwan had to go.
- Here. A document is missing. - Well, it matches.
The signs on the body confirm a hanging.
And I found no traces of struggles or restraint.
Your guy did in fact offed himself.
Probably because he knew that
Erwan's return could reveal his complicity.
A document is missing.
In the blue binder on the desk, here.
Report 231. Report 231. Report 232. Report 233.
- 232 is missing. - Yes.
- It must be about Erwan's accident. - The dates seem to match, yes.
Seems your doc cleaned up his mess before leaving.
Of course he did.
- You do not have forearms. - Astrid.
Yes, indeed.
- Lieutenant Nielsen. - Nice to meet you.
Hello.
- Any progress, Norah? - Plenty!
I called every hotel around Montparnasse
and I finally found the one he stayed at four days before his death.
What did we find in his room?
- I don't know. You tell me. - Forged documents.
With his face and a name. Justin Bélier.
Alright!
With a name, we can now find out what our friend did for two years.
- Bravo Norah. - Thanks.
- It was great yesterday! - Huh?
- The escape game. - Oh yeah!
I must admit, I thought escape games were for geeks.
But I had fun, it was great.
And how's your headache?
My headache?
That prevented you from coming to my place.
Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Can we come in? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
You brought me another client?
I will have to give you a fee.
But I'm sorry, I won't be able to take you in.
I'm a little under the weather today, I got bad news.
So I'm not gonna do a good job. Can you come back next week?
But Soazig, it's pretty important. She...
- Okay, show me. - Show you what?
Your burn.
Soazig Le Treach is a fire talker. She's the best healer of the region.
Maybe next time, with pleasure, but I'm not here for that.
I'm a police commander.
It's about my brother, isn't it?
Yes.
Follow me.
Thank you.
Look.
Hello, madam.
She's my mother.
She's been like that since Loic's death 10 years ago.
Nothing moves her anymore, not even Erwan's death.
She didn't even go to his funeral.
He was my twin.
I've lost him twice now.
He never tried getting in touch with you?
No.
Yet we were so close.
Especially since Loic's death, our big brother.
It was a real challenge for our family.
I see you have a lot of trophies.
You were a gymnastic and rhythmic gymnastic champion.
2010, 2011, 2012. You were talented.
You know, after Loic's accident, it was really hard for my family.
We all lost something.
It was gymnastics for me.
Okay! You've really tied up everything.
Yes. I even aligned the shells with the uterus.
Raphaëlle.
I did not find report 232.
But we found Loic Le Treach's death certificate.
- Established by Dr Leroux. - Of course, he's the town doctor.
But the problem is that this document is full of mistakes.
What do you mean?
Occipital bone depression with associated parenchymal lesion
on the right side
and underlying sphenoid laceration.
- I don't get it. Is that a mistake? - No, not that.
But it doesn't match with the narrative.
It doesn't concur with a fall down the stairs.
- Are you telling me it's not an accident? - Exactly.
Yes, Commissioner.
Yes, we are making huge strides in our investigation.
I only need a tiny authorization,
for another exhumation.
Loic Le Treach.
Nico? I think I got it.
Justin Bélier, or rather Erwan Le Treach, came back to France two months ago,
on flight MF876 from Warsaw on September 7th.
Warsaw? So he spent two years in Poland?
Anyway, we can check.
Now I wonder what he did in the last two months.
I have no trace of him from his return to France
to his arrival at the hotel four days ago.
How about his bank records?
The bank he was in is rather secretive.
Their computer system is well protected.
Okay, that's good Norah. Keep going.
It will be confirmed by an autopsy but I'm certain:
the occipital bone is depressed on the right side
and based on the form of the injuries, there's no room for doubt.
Could he get these wounds by falling down stairs?
Absolutely not.
Loic Le Treach was hit repeatedly to the head with a blunt object.
There is a body of consistent evidence
indicating that Loic Le Treach was murdered.
At the moment, it's hard to know what happened.
What we do know is that Dr Leroux tampered with evidence
to make Loic's death seem like an accident.
Whereas all points to a murder.
So Gwendal Leroux hid Loic's murder,
and eight years later, he helped Erwan disappear.
Exactly.
It's more than possible that Erwan killed his brother.
Why wait eight years to disappear?
I'm pretty sure someone discovered that Loic's death wasn't an accident.
Anyhow, we learned that he had been living in Warsaw
under the name of Justin Bélier
since his fake accident, until two months ago.
We found his home and many witnesses confirm his presence.
Well great, good job. Thanks, Nico.
And...
- I can't wait to get back. - I also can't wait.
- Take care? - Yes.
You too.
Bye.
What's that? It was in my pocket.
That is salt, Coste.
In the Breton tradition, it's a sign of a curse.
Stop your bullshit!
No, it's true, he's right.
I'm not superstitious anyway.
Yes you are. You are superstitious.
But it is weird to put salt in your own pocket.
I did not put salt in my pocket. Someone put salt in my pocket.
What the hell!
Either way, it seems we're exposing secrets
not everyone wants revealed.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm beat.
- Can you take us to the hotel? - Nobody told you?
No.
It's not really a hotel.
But I'll accompany you or you'll get lost.
- Follow me? - Okay. Yes, we're following you.
Raphaëlle, it was supposed to be a hotel.
Well, I'm sure it'll be better.
You brought so much stuff!
Is this yours, Coste? So all of that is…
Well yes, it is Astrid's.
Here's the old hunting lodge.
The owner died, eaten by his dogs.
So the family bequeathed the house to the town.
- Come in, make yourself at home. - Thanks.
Awesome, isn't it?
Do you like it?
It's … it's pretty!
Well, it's a throwback.
Some village folks say this place is haunted.
Come on, follow me. No need to take your shoes off.
Erwan was really a generous man.
When I had my accident, he was there for me,
helped me, supported me.
I don't think he could kill his brother.
You told me he was kicked out by his father, right?
Because he was fighting with his brother Loic.
But Loic was the one messing with him.
Injustice can be a great motivator.
Maybe, but since Erwan was with Dr Leroux, everything was great.
He found his peace.
And Soazig?
Soazig is another story.
You know, it's not easy being the only girl in this family.
You seem close to her.
Yeah.
She's a great girl.
But since Loic's death, she never managed to fully bounce back.
- What do you mean? - Well Soazig, she's unstable.
She attempted suicide multiple times.
Not even a few months ago.
She's wasting her life. She's incredible.
Did you know she's a seasoned gymnast?
She should have had a career,
left for the junior championship of Lake Buena Vista in 2012.
But Loic's death broke her.
What was that?
- A door is squeaking. - Or it's Ankou's cart.
It's your grim reaper.
Not exactly.
Ankou is not exactly Death, more like his servant.
He works for it.
It is said that the last dead of the year becomes next year's Ankou.
That makes it more appealing, I think.
It is said that if you hear "karrigell an Ankou" wheels squeak,
it means he's coming for you.
Ah! Dammit!
You all look tired to me, I'll show you your rooms, okay?
With pleasure. Anyhow, this meal was exquisite.
- I am not finished. - I'll wait for you.
- We'll go ahead. - Yeah, yeah.
Astrid.
Astrid!
Yes?
- It's me. - Yes.
Open up, it's Raphaëlle.
Shoes.
Thank you for coming, Raphaëlle.
I'm all ears.
Why are you whispering?
I don't know. I'm all ears.
Fficer Meur told us that Soazig Le Treach gave up
on the Lake Buena Vista championships of 2012 in Florida
following Loic Le Treach's death.
Yes?
I have checked.
These championships occurred in April 2012.
Now, look at the date Loic Le Treach died, here.
- December 14th 2012. - Yes.
So, Soazig gave up on the championships before Loic's death.
Exactly.
That would mean
that something else happened in this family before Loic's death.
Probably.
The document, Raphaëlle. The document.
Astrid.
I've been meaning to talk to you since yesterday, but I couldn't.
It's about Anne Langlais.
Anne Langlais has cancer. She must be transferred to Toulouse.
- You know about it? - Yes, since I told you.
- Yes. - Niels told me about it.
And how are you taking the news? Are you okay?
Toulouse has the best establishment for Anne Langlais.
It is excellent news regarding her health prognosis.
It means that Niels will go live there with his uncle.
Yes, it is logical.
Niels will live where his mother is.
And he won't come see you anymore.
You know that, right?
Astrid?
I did not picture it like that.
Will you be okay?
Yes.
I will finally go back to my daily routine with a lot less unforeseen events.
Okay.
Raphaëlle, I have not slept in another room than my own for years.
Look.
- The painting, the lamps. - You brought your lamp?
Yes, I also brought my sheets, my pillow, my weighted blanket,
my bath towel.
Only there is no bathtub.
I understand all the suitcases now.
- Raphaëlle. - Yes?
Could you help me move the nightstands?
Symmetrically please.
Let's go.
So, how do I… Like that? Like this?
Could you push it 5cm to the left?
OK, like that?
- Careful with my lamp. - Yes, I'm careful. There?
Another 5cm to the left.
Could you push the bed a little, please? To the right.
More.
There.
Bravo. Thank you, Raphaëlle.
Good night, Astrid.
Fournier!
Fournier! Fournier!
- Coste? - This! What's this?
What's this?
- What is happening? - I found this in my bed.
Here, in my bed.
Well, it's a coin. Congratulations, you're rich.
- Can I go back to bed? - This coin was in my bed.
So someone put it in my bed, Fournier.
Let me see.
Oh yeah! Someone promised you to Saint-Yves.
- Yves? - Yes, it's a spell.
You put a silver coin in someone's bed before they get into it,
then you sing prayers backwards
while walking around Saint-Yves chapel in Monts d'Arrée.
And the targeted person is said to die within 24 hours.
You have nothing to fear, Coste. It's folklore.
You don't believe in any of that, do you?
Look...
When I made my bed, this coin wasn't in my bed.
This means we're not alone here. We are not alone.
- Someone is making noises. - Yes, yes.
I'm gonna get my gun. I'm gonna get my gun.
You heard something.
It's coming from the basement.
- A cat. - Yes, a cat.
You were right.
We're not alone in this house.
Did the cat put the coin in my bed?
I'm sure there's someone here.
In Breton legends, a black cat is the soul of a departed guiding the living.
Yeah, yeah. I had enough of your legends.
I'm sick of it.
Raphaëlle. Here.
A bed.
Watch the glass.
There are a lot of food items.
They are recent.
Raphaëlle. Here.
Justin Bélier.
Oh, yeah.
Justin Bélier, it's Erwan Le Treach's alias.
It's a letter posted from Morlaix five days prior to Erwan's return to France.
What, an encrypted message?
You'll have fun with this, Astrid.
We were wondering where he was for two months.
He was hiding in here.
An enigma.
So Erwan has been seen in Gwadmeur.
- Astrid, you're already up? - Yes.
You scared me.
I did not get any sleep.
The bed is not 1m60 by 2m. The mattress is too soft.
And there is wood on the front and behind, I do not like that.
- Yes, it's not your home. - Exactly.
Leroux must have been the one hiding Erwan Le Treach here.
Either way, this hunting lodge is totally empty.
Minus the cats, yes.
- In the meantime, I decrypted the letter. - Ah, great!
The encryption used is extremely simple.
You just need to follow the lines up and down.
Okay. So "Erwan".
Erwan yes, bravo.
"Come back". Erwan, come back.
- Erwan, come back. - Good morning.
Any croissant enthusiasts here?
"To Gwadmeur".
You don't seem to realize,
I drove over 30km to bring you back this treasure.
Erwan, come back to Gwadmeur.
It's time to tell the truth.
- It looks like it's signed. - Here.
Truth makes me hungry.
- Thanks, Ronan. - You're welcome.
- Thanks a lot. - My pleasure.
Hello.
Mrs. Le Treach, you lied.
"Erwan, come back to Gwadmeur. It's time to tell the truth. Soazig".
This coin here,
you're the one who put it in my bed.
Same with the salt in my pocket.
You did all this to scare us, to get us far away from the hunting lodge.
You were afraid we'd found your brother's hideout.
I wanted to help my brother, it's not a crime.
It is.
Hiding a criminal is regarded as being complicit
according to article 121-7 of the penal procedure code.
What truth are you talking about in this letter?
Commander Coste.
There is someone at the window. There.
Soazig, you have to tell us what happened.
- What did Erwan do to you? - He didn't do anything.
- I did. - You did?
I'm the one who killed Loic.
Because he was raping me.
Soazig.
What you started is extremely courageous.
I know it's hard to talk about incest as a victim.
But I need you to tell me.
I need you to go back there
in order to catch Erwan's killer.
Especially for Erwan.
It all started when I was 14.
When Erwan got kicked out of the house.
I think he didn't dare before that.
Loic caught me by surprise one night,
when the parents were away.
He told me he would soon be Le Treach's household head,
and I belonged to him,
like dad's company.
So, he...
He...
Okay.
How long did it last?
Until I stopped him.
What happened next?
One night, he got more violent than usual.
He grabbed me by the arm, he kissed my neck,
he dropped his pants and I couldn't handle it.
So I grabbed a rock and I hit him.
I hit him.
I hit him until he let go.
- And you called Erwan? - He came right away.
When he saw Loic with his pants down, his head covered in blood,
I didn't even have to explain.
So he concealed the murder.
With Gwendal Leroux's help.
Did Gwendal know…
Did he know what Loic did to you?
Erwan swore to me he'd never tell a soul.
He said he was the one who killed Loic.
But Gwendal was a heavy drinker.
One night, two years ago, he said too much to my father
and he wouldn't let him go.
My father came to Brittany on October 15th to meet suppliers.
We wanted to talk to him then, tell him the whole truth.
That's why Erwan came back.
Why didn't the meeting happen?
Because my dad didn't have the time to get home.
So we decided to go to Paris next week to talk to him.
I don't know why Erwan went on his own. I don't understand.
Thank you.
Christian Le Treach forced Erwan Le Treach to disappear.
But when Soazig made her last suicide attempt,
He wrote to her telling her he was alive and that he loved her.
- She asked him to come back? - Yeah.
She wanted to free him from his oath.
All the signs of incest were there. How did we miss them?
Because they're particularly hard to spot.
That's why incest victims are hard to identify, to help.
All those lives ruined by a father who only thought of his empire.
Do you think he killed Erwan?
That's what the phone records from the lodge in Gwadmeur seem to indicate.
When Erwan was in hiding there,
there were multiple phone calls to Christian Le Treach's office number.
He was trying to call his dad.
Apart from Soazig, he was the only one to know Erwan was back.
Thank you.
Here.
I think it's time for a family reunion.
Don't you think it's time to tell your children the truth, Mr. Le Treach?
About Erwan.
I already told you. For me, Erwan was long dead.
Since you forced him to disappear?
How far were you willing to go to assert power over your family?
Hey! You can't talk to my father this way, ok?
He banned Erwan because he was a murderer.
And if you'd done your job, you'd know he murdered my brother.
That Erwan destroyed this family.
Did you know, Yann?
I have protected Soazig as long as I could,
but I have nothing to hide from Yann.
He's my heir now.
I forced Erwan to disappear
with the help of the doctor who helped him disguise Loic's murder.
- He had to pay for what he had done. - So you still don't get it?
Erwan didn't kill Loic, dad. Do you get it?
What are you saying?
- He confessed it to me. - He confessed it to protect me.
I'm the one who killed Loic.
What?
Loic, your son,
he was raping me.
In your house. Under your nose.
Soazig.
- Don't you dare… - Dare what?
Huh?
Tell the truth?
Say that the precious son you raised as an all-too powerful heir
thought he could do anything?
He thought he could just take for himself, that we were his things!
So yeah, one day I killed him.
When you condemned Erwan, you condemned an innocent man.
Erwan tried to talk to you many times
by calling your office from the hunting lodge.
From a landline for further discretion.
The calls only lasted a few seconds, you hung up on him systematically.
But not on October 15th.
On this day, the call lasted almost an hour.
That's nonsense!
I wasn't even at my office on October 15th.
I was in Gwadmeur.
So who answered the phone?
I didn't believe him.
Who?
Who didn't you believe?
Yann, you didn't...
You didn't!
He arranged to meet in a bar.
He said he wanted to tell me the truth.
And when he started talking, I didn't believe him.
I thought it was another trick.
What did you do, Yann?
I broke the bottle and I hit him.
I wanted him to hurt. I was so angry.
I was certain he killed Loic.
That he destroyed our family.
It's the lies that destroyed our family.
Imagine what they could have avoided if they'd talked to each other.
We need to be honest with each other.
- Well, I'm leaving. - Okay. See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Want to grab a drink?
Nico, you've got to open your eyes, man!
What are you saying, I don't get it...
- I can see that. - What are you talking about?
You're in love with each other. You'd have to be blind not to see it.
Goodbye Astrid. And thanks for everything.
Goodbye Astrid.
Goodbye Niels.
Goodbye.
