HPI Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (2021) s01e03 Episode Script

Where's my hug?
- It's okay, baby.
Your mother is on the tape.
Confront her with it.
See what her reaction is.
- That won't work.
Why not?
- Because I can't do that with her.
Okay. When I've had enough
I question her myself.
Then we do it like this.
Where are you going?
- Get my money, I ain't got nothing yet.
Otherwise my bank will send the army after me.
Good luck.
Here with the money.
That will be time.
The position of 'advisor-trainee' was still unknown
and had yet to be added to the system.
Is it OK or do I have to call the helpline?
I want to speak to the leadership, urgent.
- Are you alright?
Are you deaf? Call the commissioner.
- End of the corridor on the left.
Thank you Madam.
- Please.
That's where the toilets are.
- Ah
Hi.
Can you move forward a bit?
- All right, I will.
Here.
Hey, that guy isn't kidnapping you, is he?
- It is well.
Calm down, everything will be fine.
I'm just standing here. Do you know who I am?
It's about my grandchildren.
Karadec, this is Florence Grangeon.
Her children are gone.
Take your seat.
Their father and I are divorced.
Co-parenting. Franck would Juliette
and Laura last night.
Frank how? His last name?
- Sorin.
I haven't heard anything in two days.
Franck often goes camping with them.
Maybe something happened.
Don't keep protecting him.
He is probably already in Belgium.
You think he kidnaps his kids?
- Yes. He would lose custody.
Why do you say that?
- With his way of life.
He drags them into his madness.
- Franck just doesn't live like you.
He is not innocent. Open your eyes.
- Stop.
Excuse me.
What? Excuse me, do you want one too?
- No thanks.
I have to go, cash a check.
Who is that?
- That's a consultant.
She's new.
Are you watching the door?
The lock is acting weird.
I understand your father is an idiot.
And your ex, what type is that?
I don't know that well anymore.
We were so in love.
Then he went to read all about the earth,
how it went down.
He wanted to reconnect with nature.
I would have followed him everywhere.
We bought a farm in a remote place
to start an eco-gite there.
I knew it was madness.
- Maybe not.
His back-to-nature idea
must not have gone down well with your father.
That's not his thing, no. But
my family was not the only problem.
We had few customers and ran into debt.
Then I had to ask my family for help.
- That's death for love.
Franck became so radical.
I didn't want to disappoint my daughters.
You went back to your parents
and the custody battle began.
Franck didn't let go.
But he's not kidnapping his kids, is he?
- I do not know.
Franck is a good father,
but where are my children.
Good thanks.
Franck Sorin left three weeks ago
making passports for his daughters.
This is the custody investigation.
'Franck Sorin is unstable
and dangerous to his daughters.'
So kidnapping is a possibility.
Look where he lives and I'll set up an AMBER alert.
And take
- Yes, yes, I'll take Morgane.
damn.
Nice walk, though.
Come on, have a laugh.
Soon you will get it on your prostate.
Stay there.
Is someone there?
Morgana?
You found Laura's stuffed animal.
Morgane, are you looking for worms to fish or what?
Something is wrong. Look.
This vegetable garden is clearly permaculture.
You have straw, all the vegetables are mixed up.
I've had to deal with it
when Eliott was in his botanical phase.
Very exciting. And thus?
That part there, that's also a principle
of permaculture, that lies fallow.
You can't come there.
You leave that and everything blooms there
sometimes more than a year.
But I don't understand why it's here.
Sorin may have died from a
slap the temple with a blunt object.
something like that?
- Possibly.
How long ago did you die?
- Given the rigor mortis 12 to 24 hours.
That's how long the killer has the kids.
And?
- I've been through the doors.
First neighbors at one kilometer.
Nobody knows anything.
But at the cafe where Franck delivers vegetables
is he yesterday morning
seen with a woman. Solid type.
Did he know her?
- No.
In his thirties, dark, medium hair,
nice face, glasses.
Probably his new girlfriend.
- No, Sorin's still wearing his wedding ring.
If he wanted to go after the females,
he had taken it off.
Bring an umbrella?
- I immersed myself in this book that lay there.
Look what I have found.
He was more into old people.
That could be the parents.
- I'll figure it out.
I'll pass it on at the border.
Are you questioning the family?
Are you not forgetting something?
- Good to have you here.
I have a noise in my heart
that should be investigated.
I'm not a cardiologist.
- Alvaro?
You are called.
- I'm busy.
We go.
- Yes, let's go.
Is everyone listening?
We are looking for two girls, five and eight years old.
The killer of the father
must be on the run with them.
Possibly with Franck Sorin's car,
a gray Peugeot 405.
Registration number 53-77-SV-80.
Distribute immediately.
Highest urgency to find that car.
Okay? Thanks. To work.
I understand why Florence
wanted to live with her parents again.
What a trip, you say.
That is something different.
They are not crazy.
Arnaud Grangeon owns it
of Hotels Grangeon, luxury hotels.
They are all over the world.
- Of course, I know that one.
There I was in the Maldives.
Just before I was in Megeve.
Very bad bedding.
Grangeon is friends with the prefect.
So watch what you say for once.
Is that possible?
- I'm really well behaved.
I'm not crazy.
Hey.
- Day.
I regret to inform you
that Mr Franck Sorin, your ex-husband, was murdered.
We found his body this morning.
My participation.
And my daughters?
- An AMBER alert has been issued.
We'll probably know more soon.
A witness saw your ex-husband with a woman:
Dark hair, glasses, quite young.
Do you know who that could be?
That's Mr. Grangeon's whiskey.
Come, cheers with me.
Here.
- Thanks.
Worker's cleverness.
The old one has nothing to do with it.
To your health.
- On yours.
Just below us. How are the Grangeons?
Fine. Firm but fair.
So they are tyrants
and you are a good employee.
And their son-in-law? I understand
that he neglected his children?
No, he is caring.
He brought them back in good time,
brushed teeth and ironed clothes.
Mrs?
We will do everything possible
to find your daughters.
Bye.
I liked Mr Franck.
And?
Saturday he came to get a book
that Juliette had forgotten.
I went up and when I came back,
he came out of Mr.'s room.
I looked and nothing was missing. Steal
is not for Mr Franck either.
But he was nervous that day.
There have been many calls,
but nothing credible.
They've been gone for 15 hours and we've got nothing.
- Our only trace
is the bespectacled brunette who
was with Franck on the day of his death.
No one else knows that woman.
- Search further.
And the sex offenders in the area?
- Two, whose alibis are checked.
I will keep the Belgians informed.
Do you do Luxembourg and the Netherlands?
Get started, guys.
- Seen the Child Protection report?
Child Protection Report suffered?
- Do you know who that was?
Look.
- Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg.
'Bad food'. You know that vegetable garden
yet? Does he feed them junk food?
'Little culture'. No display
to confess and book everywhere.
That could be worse.
A little quieter, please.
- And the pinnacle:
Toxic products within reach.
He really doesn't use bleach.
I know those guys: Only green soap
and cleaning vinegar.
Am I wrong?
- No, I've seen the closet.
Franck does not have his children
neglected, this is pure nonsense.
Clara Patrelli.
Dark, medium hair, glasses
That looks like our mystery lady.
Mrs. Patrelli, Karadec, detective.
Do you know that Franck Sorin was murdered?
- I saw it. Horrible.
Such a critical report,
it seems like you have something against him.
Is that right?
I have to do a risk analysis.
I am not
Had a nice holiday?
There you go, mosquito bites.
There are currently none.
Been to the sun?
You are mistaken.
I know envelopes with 'urgent' on them
but all too good since I'm short on money.
And I have that pasta too, the cheapest.
You clearly have little money.
Still, you can afford a luxury hotel.
That is
- The old one.
You were allowed in his hotel as a thank you for
a filthy report on his son-in-law.
Everyone knows Grangeon. If I had
refused, I was fired.
So you screwed up someone's life
in exchange for your miserable career?
All right.
Franck found out?
If he had turned you in, you ran the risk
I didn't kill him.
This is not possible.
You were seen on the day of his death.
- He wanted to see me.
He wanted to tell the judge.
Even though I wanted to correct the report.
He said his father-in-law does this more often
did and that it had to stop.
He would have blackmailed more people?
He said he had proof and
put us behind bars.
He was determined, so I left.
And what did you do then?
Then she told the old man, didn't she, naughty?
And Grangeon won't just let that happen.
Call attorney Balland. He'll take care of it.
- Chewing gum? No?
We go.
- My husband wasn't even in Lille yesterday.
Jéremy, tell them.
He had to go to Deauville
and was back at 10pm.
Deauville?
Were there traffic jams to Normandy?
Why didn't you leave sooner?
It was a last minute decision.
Do you have a receipt from the highway?
From the gas station?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Surely you had to refuel there or back?
I had already done that in the morning.
Out of precaution.
Wasn't it a last minute decision?
Did Mr Grangeon ask you to lie?
Yes.
That doesn't speak for him.
- He would never harm the children.
Florence, tell him.
I do not know anymore.
We will keep you informed.
Alvaro?
What are you doing, Alvaro?
No, don't arrive. This is not
- Look.
Does that pink remind you of anything?
Same deviation as in that photo with Sorin.
That's right.
Scandalous. My client has
a worldwide known company.
This damages his reputation and puts jobs at risk.
Mr. Grangeon, do you know this photo
an elderly couple by a swimming pool
in a tropical resort with palm trees?
I do not know.
- Still, we found it on your computer.
Mr. Sorin had printed it out for him.
Your printer leaves traces,
a kind of signature.
At first we didn't understand why Franck had that photo.
Until we saw the original on your
computer. Then it got interesting.
If you zoom in on that woman's pareo
you will see this: Your hotel's logo.
Not true?
- Mr. Grangeon has no comment.
So they are guests. There is
one little thing I don't understand.
Why was Franck Sorin interested?
for those two? Any idea?
Don't you know that man? No?
We already do.
That man, next to his wife,
is a judge at the court of Lille.
In 2016 he allowed you a hotel
building in protected area.
Despite a complaint from three environmental organizations.
Two months before he went on safari
in Tanzania and was in a hotel of yours.
We call that corruption.
Franck decided to report it.
He collected all the evidence
and wanted to make it public.
No comment.
The social worker who blackmailed you
Clara Patrelli, warned you yesterday.
Shortly afterwards you sent a text message to this number.
"I need to speak to you urgently."
This turned out to be a prepaid device.
Whose is he?
Look.
Yes, I know, no comment.
Do you know what I think?
That guy calls you when you have trouble.
To bribe someone.
Or silence someone.
Yesterday your son-in-law.
I would never be the father of
let my grandchildren do something about it.
Your grandchildren could be the culprit
likely to identify.
It's about your grandchildren.
Would he risk letting them live?
Where can we find him?
His name is Ivan Bocquet.
Target in sight. hold on.
Law enforcement. No movement.
hands.
Go ahead.
No movement.
We'll take him.
If the girls are still alive,
you can get a reduced sentence.
Tell me where they are.
Then the judge is lenient.
I get it already. You need the cop
not. You act like you're tough.
Fine, then we'll stop. You go
into the cell. Then you can think.
Do you think the cell scares me off?
- Oh yes, you have a subscription.
Then you see your mates again.
Do they know what you do with little girls?
If you don't tell me where they are
your photo goes to the press.
They've been whining for a scoop all the time.
Everywhere your head next to the girls.
What do your comrades think in jail on that, do you think?
You can't do that.
I haven't touched them.
- You didn't just get that money, did you?
You had to solve something.
- He had to shut up.
But when I got there, that girl from Grangeon was already there.
Girl?
- Florence Grangeon.
She talked about a photo and screamed.
She was furious.
She didn't want her father to throw the bucket
turned in. I greased him.
We're on top of it.
I'll keep you informed.
Gilles, any news?
Florence has been over an hour ago
leave the house.
Her cellphone is off.
And her car?
- Nothing delivered yet.
Suppose the children were at the murder.
Then she hides them.
She's out of the country. Block the account.
- Too late, 10,000 euros withdrawn.
Daphné, inform Wanted Persons,
spread her description.
The hug.
The stuffed animal you found on the farm.
Looks like Laura took it everywhere with her.
Florence never forgets that one.
- Fixed fallen.
You have no children.
I once left Théa's hug on the train
and she howled for a week.
Florence was there at the time
the murder. She concealed that.
She's gone with 10 grand. What else?
- It is not right.
How come it's not right?
- Those nails.
Those are perfect. How is that possible
if you buried a corpse?
Stop. It's about her and the girls,
not for her nails.
You don't have to do that.
I'll make sure you don't make mistakes.
So I lose time and there is none.
- You know, I'm gone.
Go on, that's better.
Aren't you with the kids, Henri?
- I left.
How so?
- Your mother had everything under control.
Didn't you know she was coming?
Children?
- Mom.
Bye, sweetheart. Who wants another?
Watch out, he's hot.
- Come on.
What are you doing here?
I came out of the fabric store and
thought I was close to your house.
I just wanted to say hello to the kids.
She baked pancakes.
- Never mind, I'll do that.
Can I help with the kids?
Pick them up from school.
And eat pancakes?
- I'll be fine.
Grandma may have found an internship.
- What, internship?
I was with Gérard, the hairdresser.
His neighbor is a photographer.
He's right next to our house.
I was talking about Théa and he said
that such a lively and smart girl
might appeal to him.
Saint Andre is too far.
- With the bus. She can eat with me.
I said no.
- But why?
You're always whining about an internship.
Now I have one and you say no.
I already found something for you.
At the police.
Everyone agrees, so we're not going
My opinion doesn't matter?
All right, I'll go again.
Bye, honey.
See you soon, Grandma.
- Bye, honey.
Bye, sweetheart.
- Day.
What?
Good gracious.
Your sister has an attack
and I thought it would never end.
Her teeth, Grandma says.
- Teeth?
No, she's not meddling.
Isn't that the overwhelm?
No news yet on Juliette and Laura Sorin.
If you have any information on their whereabouts
you can call a special number for kidnappings.
That lamp illuminated nothing. that spot
was meant to illuminate something.
What has moved?
That Buddha statue in the dark.
Why moved? To get to the locker
to come up with old and expensive porcelain in it.
You're a genius, Thea.
Can I do that photo internship?
- Nice try.
I have to leave. Are you paying attention?
- No. I'm not your nanny.
They're already asleep.
- You never know, with those teeth.
Five euro.
- Ten. Danger money.
I don't have time for negotiations.
Here, creep.
We are closed. If you are interested
we will make an appointment.
For her, yes.
How did you find me?
- Sir is a specialist in Chinese antiques.
Your mother loves that. seen
she understands all the books.
One thing I found strange.
That fake Ming in the display case.
You see children 'Colin-Maillard',
play blind man. That is not possible.
Jean Colin was a bricklayer
which in the 10th century with its wooden
hammer fought against conquerors.
Hence Colin Maillard.
He was unlucky and his eyes became
outstretched. But he fought on.
His enemy fooled him:
Here I am, right here.
This game became popular in the 16th century.
So no blind man in the Ming dynasty.
So that vase at your parents' place is fake.
Where did you get that knowledge?
- My kids' cereal box.
It has sugar in it, but you learn a lot.
You put that fake vase in the display case
to cover up the lack of the real thing.
Why do you need so much money?
- None of your business.
Don't bother, the police are looking for you. They
should seek your daughters.
I don't talk to the police.
- See it here?
You disappoint me.
A man called.
He has Juliette and Laura.
If I don't have $100,000 tomorrow
the same thing happens to them as to Franck.
We call.
- No, he'll kill them.
He kills them.
Why didn't you say you saw Franck?
I could not do it. I did not want to
that my father went to prison.
He's no good, but he's always there for me.
I begged Franck not to report him.
He didn't want to hurt me, but he had to.
Then I left. For real.
When would the money transfer be?
- Tomorrow 8 o'clock. Industrial area.
I don't understand who kidnapped the girls.
Where did you want to sleep, in the car?
Come with me.
I'm really getting in trouble, you know.
If necessary, I lie down on the couch.
Thank you.
Friday
Friday I had a fight with Juliette.
She wanted a dog for Christmas, but I didn't.
My parents do everything
but I don't want to spoil them.
That was the last time I spoke to her.
I yelled at her.
We'll find them.
And then you buy such a beast for them.
He will eat your shoes schoenen
and puke your carpet.
And Juliette really won't let him out.
You will have to go outside through all kinds of weather.
We will find your girls.
Now try to get some sleep.
Hey, who's that?
- A girlfriend. Go back to bed.
You have no girlfriends.
- Neither will you if I put you under house arrest.
Hop hop, to bed.
Wait a minute, come here.
Just cuddle. Delicious.
- That's all right.
Nice cuddling.
- Now stop.
Okay, now sleep well.
Hey.
- To make amends?
Is your mother there?
- She's already gone with her new girlfriend.
Which new girlfriend?
'Take care of the little ones. Am at 9.30
back. Otherwise, call the chief.' So you.
I already understood that.
- It has an address on it.
What did that girlfriend look like?
I know you're going crazy, but it's gonna work.
Damn, what is he doing here?
Get out of that car. Hands where I
she can see. Get out of that car.
Don't do stupid things.
I explain.
I'm really fed up now. Lay down.
- No, but
Turn around. No movement.
- Karadec, that's how things go wrong.
She has to record.
- I have to answer.
That's the kidnapper of her kids.
Otherwise they are dead.
I have to record.
Put him on speaker.
Hey?
- You're alone, I hope?
Yes.
- Do you have the money?
Yes. Where are my girls?
Flat under construction, pedestrian exit,
corner Noyelles Lorival.
You have five minutes. Different
He hung up.
I have to go there.
- No way.
As long as he doesn't have the money,
they stay alive. Do you get that?
Five minutes, he said.
- Stay here and let me think.
I'm calling for backup.
- Then they go into cowboy mode.
Then everything goes wrong.
Five minutes, he said.
- Let me think.
There's no time for that. She has to go.
Karadec?
Please.
All right, give me that.
Morgane, call me on my cell.
Now.
What is he doing?
Morgane, give me your phone
to Florence. Here.
Leave it on. put it in your pocket,
then I hear everything.
If something happens, I intervene.
You stay here.
- Okay.
You are now in front of the construction site.
Go to the blue shack.
Wait
- The construction site.
Okay.
You walk past the building.
You will come to a small entrance on the left.
You go straight until the second entrance.
If you do what I say, everything will be fine.
Continue down the hallway until you reach the terrace.
You cross that.
You enter the second building.
Do not run.
Straight ahead, you'll come to a corridor again.
You leave the first and second opening
pass you by.
Then you see an elevator shaft.
- I do not see him. Over there?
Fasten the bag.
- My girls first.
Do what I say.
Ready?
- Now my daughters.
First I check if the money is in it.
Where are they?
Are they with you?
Hey? juliette?
Laura?
No movement.
No.
It's not true.
Yes, that's Franck's car.
All right, I have a signal.
I'll forward it. put everyone on it
to follow him.
See you soon.
Are you going to sulk for a long time?
You hid a suspect
and did not warn me about the exchange.
I'm not sulking, Morgane, I'm furious.
We must work together.
When will you ever trust me?
Be my co-driver now.
Your car's anti-theft transmitter is with the money?
That seemed like a good purchase. Get in.
- That's smart.
Right there.
damn.
- But that is
No. Juliette, Laura
juliette.
- No, stay here.
Stay there.
- My girls.
No, stay here.
All right, they're not there.
They're not in it.
Everything will be fine.
Now to the side, please.
It's okay, they're not in it.
The TR did not find a print.
- Great.
She can't help it.
I agreed to the exchange.
What does this tell us?
Why did he burn the money?
- Maybe it wasn't about the money for him.
That guy is a dwarf.
1 meter 60, maximum 65.
Maybe manipulation, a false lead.
What the hell.
I know who kidnapped them.
Hey. How did you get that ugly wound?
To get off.
Roll up your sleeve.
Jérémy Morel, you have been arrested
for the murder of Franck Sorin
and kidnapping his children.
What is this? Jeremy
has worked for me for fifteen years.
Why Jérémy?
- For you.
He always plays with the same
numbers: 15-4-8-5.
He always plays with the same
numbers 1.5-4-8-5.
You were born on April 15, 1985?
- Yes.
He is always there to comfort you,
trying to get your attention
do you a favor and watch you all day long.
However?
I was wondering why you
who put the cart under that tree.
Those leaves and bird droppings
you always had to clean.
But then I got it: Only there
could you look into her room.
You wanted to offer her the prosperity she
earned. But this is not the Titanic.
She didn't see you and married someone else.
Jeremy?
Tell me it's not true.
He didn't deserve you.
That awful farm where he forced you to live.
He wanted to take Juliette and Laura from you.
And your father in prison?
I couldn't allow that.
And my daughters?
- I wanted to give them back. That ransom
What have you done with them?
Where are Laura and Juliette?
- I do not know.
When I got back to the car, they were gone.
Sorry, Florence.
- Where was that?
The Scarpe-Escaut Park, on the edge of the forest.
Florence, I'm sorry.
Three units at the entrance.
Rule one if you're lost:
Orient yourself to the north.
How do you see where the north is?
- Where there is moss, the sun or migratory birds.
Yes, not easy.
Rule 2: Use foods
from nature.
Rule 3: You give
a known distress signal.
there.
Then you are looking for a good place to wait for help.
