No Second Chance (Une chance de trop) (2015) s01e06 Episode Script
Episode 6
1 Won't you at least tell me your name? You can write it down.
Tell me who did this to you? Was it your accomplice? That boyfriend of yours, Samuel? Listen, if he forced you to do things, you'll get mitigating circumstances.
But only if you talk to me.
If you talk to me now.
Wouldn't you rather tell me your name? YOU WILL PAY You led us to the surrogacy network.
Given the circumstances, all charges against you will be dropped.
Have you questioned the girl? She won't talk.
She and her accomplice weren't in France when your husband was killed and your daughter kidnapped.
Are you sure? We have videos of them in Turin at the station.
She's telling the truth, we were wrong.
Yes.
What about Bacard, the lawyer? He must know something.
He's run away.
We've been unable to locate him so far.
There must be a file of Tara's adoption.
He handled hundreds of adoption here and abroad.
She could be anywhere.
Maybe he never had your daughter.
Her case had massive media coverage.
Maybe he gave her up.
So? What might he have done? Got rid of her? You think she's dead? The truth is right now, anything is possible.
Good answer from a cop who's done a great job for 2 years.
"Anything is possible.
" You know nothing.
Not even if there's a link.
You said it.
Laurent's murder and my daughter's kidnapping were disorganised, whereas this network is so organised that you lost Bacard.
Try again! Shots were fired, a baby was crying Nobody heard anything? - Calm down.
- What? You have your wife and kids at home.
You have your life.
I must live with this gnawing at me.
Do you job, damn it! It's emotional shock.
Call last year's psychiatrist.
Yes, that one.
I'll call you back.
Are you releasing Millot? He's now in the hands of the intelligence officers.
What did he do for them? Official secret.
In the Financial brigade, he fixed their accounts? You've always known it.
He's a friend.
Do you what that is? I have no friends.
I don't have to debase myself.
If you weren't a sworn officer, you'd be in prison.
I know you did that for a noble cause, but now you're like that cousin no one wants to invite.
You've put us in a tight spot.
Our department will have to answer questions.
You're good at that.
Don't forget we helped you.
Try to return the favour.
Not this time.
Give me your passport.
You're not allowed to leave the country.
Thanks, Richard.
Yes, sir.
I got two detectives on the case.
I'll call you as soon as I get to my office.
Edith is meeting the Minister of Justice, we won't give up.
That's perfect.
With the Minister, we'll definitely find Tara.
Thanks, Louis.
Great initiative! You've been released.
Good thing you're a secret agent.
Did you know that? You didn't? I must go.
Why did she say that? Have we always been wrong? I don't know.
Am I hurting you? A lot.
It's Nadia.
Is Alice with you? Has she been released? Everythingâs fine, don't worry.
Track his mobile.
Check all airports for Bacard.
And keep the 129.
Tessier.
It's mad.
Each one of these files is a child.
We still can't find Bacard.
Where's the bastard? Tessier, Romano, Mallet! One million euros in fake notes, manslaughter, a surrogacy network.
You can't imagine the pressure.
It's serious.
You can't imagine.
I'm calling the prefect.
Why? He wants the link with the Lambert case.
You have 20 secs to come up with a theory or I'll sack one of you.
It'll be you.
Feel the pressure now? - That's unfair.
- Yes, it is! Let's go over it.
Claire Lambert was a junkie.
She breaks into her sister's, meets her husband, it turns ugly.
As she's high, she lakes Tara away.
She had got friendly with the tooth man Pavel.
He knows Bacard, who suggests having the girl adopted.
Bacard realises the Delaunays are rich and tries a racket.
He hires professionals for the ransom.
Samuel and her girlfriend.
They gel the money, kill the sister and say Tara is dead.
So we'd stop looking for her.
But Bacard had her adopted.
We're not sure, but maybe.
Am I keeping my job? Not yet.
Why bring it up 2 years later? For the money.
The organisation needs money.
I mean, Bacard does.
Do whatever you can, but find the girl.
As soon as possible.
I want Bacard too.
Check everything: his diaries, contacts, calls - OK, I'll call the prefect.
- Wait Just one thing.
The Interpol has had Tara's file for 2 years.
So what? If she'd been adopted, there'd a family, a school register We'd have something, after 2 years.
A clue? Yes.
This is Pistillo.
Is he busy? No, don't Don't disturb him.
- Will you be OK? - Yeah.
Well then I'm going.
We're done loading.
Shall I lake the other box as well? No leave it.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I can lake it to your office if you want.
- You understand French? - I mean You understand French? The bastard.
Thanks.
Was that like that before? It wasn't, I'm sure.
Someone broke in.
The whole place is intact.
What's missing? Laurent's yellow sketchbook.
I'm sure I left it here.
Who else knows about it? Apart from Sophie, nobody.
He was afraid.
- Of what? - It's in his sketchbook.
What sketchbook? - He hid it under the stars.
- Where? Under the stars! That girl We must find her.
The girl who told me about the sketchbook.
I'm sure she's taken it.
Where is she? Laurent taught drawing at Notre-Dame to poor teenagers.
I'm sure she met him there.
Look at the stamps.
Health Ministry stamps.
- Sure.
- Required for an adoption.
Fine, but look more carefully.
That one is lighter.
Right.
And? There's a bit missing.
You're right.
There.
- Are they fake? - Check them.
I worked all night.
32 files with stamps forged by Bacard.
32 illegal adoptions.
Is Tara among them? There are no dates that match the kidnapping.
But if the stamps are fake so are the names, places, dates.
Bloody hell! Here are our options.
We can either reopen these cases hoping to find Tara and ruin 32 families, or not reopen them and we'll never know about Tara.
Have you told the others? I called you earlier, didn't I? Morning.
Hi there.
This is your subject.
The main thing is what you're feeling now.
What you feel at once.
Ask yourselves what you're feeling.
Hi, Alice.
Hi, François.
Are you keeping the classes? I'm trying.
Alice, I'm sorry.
I should have called you.
I'm not here about that.
I need your help.
I'm looking for a dark-haired girl, about 20, she took classes with Laurent.
There probably had a special relationship.
She was probably very close to him.
Honestly, I don't know It doesn't have to be figurative.
Abstract is fine.
She was lurking around my house.
She knows something, she may help me find Tara.
Don't you know who she is? The only person it could be is a girl I haven't seen for 2 years.
Rose.
Where can I find her? She's exhibiting on rue Chapon.
Thanks.
- What now? - He DNA was in the records.
So? So I have a good surprise for you.
Do you remember Marjorie Leroy? Yes, she went missing in 2001.
She was 12, no one found her.
Is it her? I can't believe it! She's claiming Samuel Armand kidnapped her? Her lawyer says he abducted and abused her in a way I daren't even imagine.
Now she can talk.
They'll say it's a case of Stockholm syndrome.
She's lying.
She perpetrated murders If you have any complaints, talk to the judge, they'll decide if she's sane and accountable.
What a load of bollocks! She was 12.
You think at 12 you can decide to be a murderer? I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Her parents will be happy to see their daughter as a psychopath murderer.
They're both dead.
A car crash.
I suppose you've found the yellow sketchbook.
Laurent wrote in it: "Alice mustn't know about it.
" What mustn't I know? What was my husband hiding, He was very strange towards the end.
He became paranoid.
And he didn't show up for his class, he was aggressive, he wasn't himself.
One day by chance I found a gun in his bag.
A gun? Why did he have a gun? I don't know.
He said he feared for his family.
He was very jealous of you.
We're talking about a murder and a kidnapping.
You saw a gun but didn't tell the police? I couldn't.
For a long time, I thought you'd killed him.
I imagined an argument ending in tragedy.
Why did my husband confide in you? I'm his wife, I knew nothing.
So did you have an affair with him? Were you his lover? What then? Laurent and I recognised each other at once.
It's like having a smell on you that you can never shake off.
It's as if you were screaming underwater.
No one hears you.
Not even those closest to you.
Maybe they don't want to.
I don't understand.
What do you mean? Laurent didn't want to say it, but it destroyed him.
That's why he never took Tara to see you.
He was afraid of him.
Who was he afraid of? See you soon.
Yes, thank you.
Goodbye.
Hello, Mr Delaunay.
Here's your order.
- Can I trust you? - Sure.
Can you lake it to the cellar? Certainly.
After Laurent died I went to see him I wanted him to know someone knew what he had done.
He tried to buy my silence.
Who are you talking about? Edouard.
Your husband molested your son, Mrs Delaunay.
Slop it.
You'll say this to Edouard's face.
Edith, he's in it for something.
Enough, Alice.
Edouard.
Edouard! Have you seen my husband? Edouard I can't believe it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Edith.
I'm sorry.
Go away.
Go away! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The new bedding hasn't arrived yet.
And the chairman tried to phone you.
Mrs Delaunay? My darling My little boy Forgive me, darling.
Yeah.
So? OK, thanks.
Edouard didn't kill your husband.
He wasn't here that day.
Alice Have you ever wondered if the killer had come from inside? From inside? I don't see what you mean.
Someone you had enough trust in to stand with your back to him.
Do you mean Laurent? Edouard ruined his life.
That would devastate anyone.
You come into his life.
He finds love.
A balance in life.
And I stupidly send you a message.
Put yourself in his shoes.
He loses it, becomes paranoid.
He has you followed and sees me at the hospital.
Then he asks your sister for a gun.
I'm going to prepare your bottle.
OK, that's fine Get out of this car.
Get out.
I didn't want this to happen.
Out! Will he come back? No.
He's dead.
You're no longer Lisa.
You've never been Lisa.
You're Marjorie.
Try to remember.
Won't he hurt me again? I'm hereto help you.
- Just lake everything.
- Right.
What are you doing? - I thought we'd move everything.
- The boxes slay here! But not you.
Scram.
You're angry as well? - What's this? - Bacard's accounts.
I dissected them.
3 days after the kidnapping, he went to San Diego, USA.
He went back there a week before the second ransom demand.
- To gel her lock of hair.
- Exactly.
The dates match.
Is Tara there? I'm not 100% sure.
Trouble is, I can't check.
Pistillo passed the case on to the Interpol.
Obviously.
It'll takes us months to get an international warrant.
Will we leave Alice Lambert in the dark till then? We're not going to San Diego.
If Bacard moves her, we'll never find her.
What can we do? I have an idea.
Not sure you'll like it.
Oh no I won't like it.
Either that or San Diego.
No, Romano.
Louis - What are you doing here? - Alice.
I think I know where Tara is.
What? I got this anonymous letter.
"Abe and Loraine Tansmore.
" San Diego? - Maybe it's - I checked.
2 years ago, they adopted a girl Tara's age.
What do we do? We must go get her.
I've booked two tickets for LA.
We can lake off in 4 hours.
Will you come with me? I'll be there for you.
Go pack.
Quick.
I'm afraid, I want no more false hopes.
I know.
Yes? We can find Tara with that.
We're bogged down with red tape, unlike you.
Do you agree? I have no choice.
Don't tell her mother till you're sure about it.
I suppose Pistillo doesn't know.
Of course not.
OK.
Thanks.
We're not doing this for you, but for Dr Lambert.
We owe this to her.
Of course.
No hard feelings about Don't push your luck.
We must go now.
Are you OK? Wasn't it too hard? I can't believe I did that.
Like an old couple, we know each other well.
I'm meeting a supergrass.
OK.
See you in a bit.
- What is it? - Mr Delaunay has killed himself.
What? Oh my God! Changed your mind? Missed the family? Aden? Be there in 4 days.
In 4 days, Richard.
- Thank you, sir.
- Good luck.
Hi, it's me.
We've just landed.
OK, I'll call you back.
- Was that Sophie? - Yeah.
- Are you OK? - Yes, I'm fine.
We're nearly there.
Louis.
Why you? What? The letter.
Why did they send it to you? I should have got it, instead.
I don't know.
One, two, three Well done! You do knock it back.
Tomorrow, we're going jogging- I don't often see you do it.
That's normal.
You have one child, I have 3.
You were supposed to pick me up to go jogging that day.
Did you go pick me up? Answer me.
You went to the house that morning? It's not what you're thinking.
What happened? Louis, you have to talk to me.
I wanted to sort things out.
I did the only thing that could be done.
Let's go.
Alice! Hello.
Knock knock.
Alice! Shit.
What have you done, Laurent? I had lo.
I had no choice.
- You killed her! - Yes! I had no choice.
She was gonna go away.
She was gonna leave me.
She was gonna betray me.
Like my father.
Calm down.
We'll call someone.
It's too late.
Laurent What happened after that? He was beside himself, I tried to talk to him I was afraid he'd hurt Tara.
It's too late.
Give me that! I'll help you.
I'll lake care of you.
She had a lover.
They were going away taking Tara with them.
What are you saying? You knew it.
Calm down.
Didn't you? Calm down.
I'll lake my daughter now and we're going away.
OK? Darling we're going on a trip together.
I won't let you hurt her.
I won't hurt Tara! She's all I have.
No, Laurent.
I killed Laurent.
My fingerprints were on the gun.
I panicked.
You know how many cops dream of nailing a lawyer down? I made it look like a burglary.
Come on, honey.
What did you do to Tara? I thought you were dead.
She'd have been given to the Delaunays.
You knew about that too? Laurent had told me his father had raped him.
He made me promise I'd tell no one.
I suggested pressing charges but he didn't want to make waves.
I'd never let Tara be raised by that lousy Edouard Delaunay.
Then I contacted Bacard.
How did you know him? Through a client.
Oh God! And you gave him my daughter? I knew he'd find the best possible family for her.
Good people.
I just wanted to make sure Tara was safe.
When I got out of the coma, why didn't you tell me anything? You knew it and yet you let me look for Tara for 2 years.
How could you look me in the eye? I tried to get her back, I swear I did.
Bacard wouldn't hear of it, he threatened me.
He threatened my family.
I did all I could to protect you.
To protect me? How about Claire? Did you protect her? I didn't think he'd kill her.
I never gave up.
When the noose tightened around Bacard, I asked him for Tara's adoption file or I'd turn him in.
We arranged to meet and I got the file.
ADOPTION CERTIFICATE What have you done? What have you done to me? I win.
I can see you.
This time, you'll win.
Hello, Alice.
Richard! Richard.
I saw her.
I saw Tara.
She's so beautiful.
But I can't lake her from her family.
I can't do that.
I have the feeling I'm no longer her mother.
Alice I don't know Look at me.
I am I have to go.
6 months? That's what you said last time.
Hello, superintendent.
I'll do this, bull could use a coffee.
- An Americano? - That's right.
No sugar.
- Thanks.
- What's that? Ancient history.
6 months later We have found the house.
We've found a nice house 2 km from Alice.
So you are really going to raise Tara together.
As we say, the more the merrier.
It's Louis.
Listen I wanted to say we're leaving today.
A kiss.
Goodbye.
One, two, three Go on.
What a beautiful cake! - 6 months and 3 days.
- I'm sorry.
- Did he tell you about today? - Yes.
June 2017
Tell me who did this to you? Was it your accomplice? That boyfriend of yours, Samuel? Listen, if he forced you to do things, you'll get mitigating circumstances.
But only if you talk to me.
If you talk to me now.
Wouldn't you rather tell me your name? YOU WILL PAY You led us to the surrogacy network.
Given the circumstances, all charges against you will be dropped.
Have you questioned the girl? She won't talk.
She and her accomplice weren't in France when your husband was killed and your daughter kidnapped.
Are you sure? We have videos of them in Turin at the station.
She's telling the truth, we were wrong.
Yes.
What about Bacard, the lawyer? He must know something.
He's run away.
We've been unable to locate him so far.
There must be a file of Tara's adoption.
He handled hundreds of adoption here and abroad.
She could be anywhere.
Maybe he never had your daughter.
Her case had massive media coverage.
Maybe he gave her up.
So? What might he have done? Got rid of her? You think she's dead? The truth is right now, anything is possible.
Good answer from a cop who's done a great job for 2 years.
"Anything is possible.

Not even if there's a link.
You said it.
Laurent's murder and my daughter's kidnapping were disorganised, whereas this network is so organised that you lost Bacard.

Where's the bastard? Tessier, Romano, Mallet! One million euros in fake notes, manslaughter, a surrogacy network.
You can't imagine the pressure.
It's serious.
You can't imagine.
I'm calling the prefect.
Why? He wants the link with the Lambert case.
You have 20 secs to come up with a theory or I'll sack one of you.
It'll be you.
Feel the pressure now? - That's unfair.
- Yes, it is! Let's go over it.

He was afraid of him.
Who was he afraid of? See you soon.
Yes, thank you.
Goodbye.
Hello, Mr Delaunay.
Here's your order.
- Can I trust you? - Sure.
Can you lake it to the cellar? Certainly.
After Laurent died I went to see him I wanted him to know someone knew what he had done.
He tried to buy my silence.
Who are you talking about? Edouard.
Your husband molested your son, Mrs Delaunay.
Slop it.
You'll say this to Edouard's face.
Edith, he's in it for something.
Enough, Alice.
Edouard.
Edouard! Have you seen my husband? Edouard I can't believe it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Edith.
I'm sorry.
Go away.
Go away! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The new bedding hasn't arrived yet.
And the chairman tried to phone you.
Mrs Delaunay? My darling My little boy Forgive me, darling.
Yeah.
So? OK, thanks.
Edouard didn't kill your husband.
He wasn't here that day.
Alice Have you ever wondered if the killer had come from inside? From inside? I don't see what you mean.
Someone you had enough trust in to stand with your back to him.
Do you mean Laurent? Edouard ruined his life.
That would devastate anyone.
You come into his life.
He finds love.
A balance in life.
And I stupidly send you a message.
Put yourself in his shoes.
He loses it, becomes paranoid.
He has you followed and sees me at the hospital.
Then he asks your sister for a gun.
I'm going to prepare your bottle.
OK, that's fine Get out of this car.
Get out.
I didn't want this to happen.
Out! Will he come back? No.
He's dead.
You're no longer Lisa.
You've never been Lisa.
You're Marjorie.
Try to remember.
Won't he hurt me again? I'm hereto help you.
- Just lake everything.
- Right.
What are you doing? - I thought we'd move everything.
- The boxes slay here! But not you.
Scram.
You're angry as well? - What's this? - Bacard's accounts.
I dissected them.
3 days after the kidnapping, he went to San Diego, USA.
He went back there a week before the second ransom demand.
- To gel her lock of hair.
- Exactly.
The dates match.
Is Tara there? I'm not 100% sure.
Trouble is, I can't check.
Pistillo passed the case on to the Interpol.
Obviously.
It'll takes us months to get an international warrant.
Will we leave Alice Lambert in the dark till then? We're not going to San Diego.
If Bacard moves her, we'll never find her.
What can we do? I have an idea.
Not sure you'll like it.
Oh no I won't like it.
Either that or San Diego.
No, Romano.
Louis - What are you doing here? - Alice.
I think I know where Tara is.
What? I got this anonymous letter.
"Abe and Loraine Tansmore.
" San Diego? - Maybe it's - I checked.
2 years ago, they adopted a girl Tara's age.
What do we do? We must go get her.
I've booked two tickets for LA.
We can lake off in 4 hours.
Will you come with me? I'll be there for you.
Go pack.
Quick.
I'm afraid, I want no more false hopes.
I know.
Yes? We can find Tara with that.
We're bogged down with red tape, unlike you.
Do you agree? I have no choice.
Don't tell her mother till you're sure about it.
I suppose Pistillo doesn't know.
Of course not.
OK.
Thanks.
We're not doing this for you, but for Dr Lambert.
We owe this to her.
Of course.
No hard feelings about Don't push your luck.
We must go now.
Are you OK? Wasn't it too hard? I can't believe I did that.
Like an old couple, we know each other well.
I'm meeting a supergrass.
OK.
See you in a bit.
- What is it? - Mr Delaunay has killed himself.
What? Oh my God! Changed your mind? Missed the family? Aden? Be there in 4 days.
In 4 days, Richard.
- Thank you, sir.
- Good luck.
Hi, it's me.
We've just landed.
OK, I'll call you back.
- Was that Sophie? - Yeah.
- Are you OK? - Yes, I'm fine.
We're nearly there.
Louis.
Why you? What? The letter.
Why did they send it to you? I should have got it, instead.
I don't know.
One, two, three Well done! You do knock it back.
Tomorrow, we're going jogging- I don't often see you do it.
That's normal.
You have one child, I have 3.
You were supposed to pick me up to go jogging that day.
Did you go pick me up? Answer me.
You went to the house that morning? It's not what you're thinking.
What happened? Louis, you have to talk to me.
I wanted to sort things out.
I did the only thing that could be done.
Let's go.
Alice! Hello.
Knock knock.
Alice! Shit.
What have you done, Laurent? I had lo.
I had no choice.
- You killed her! - Yes! I had no choice.
She was gonna go away.
She was gonna leave me.
She was gonna betray me.
Like my father.
Calm down.
We'll call someone.
It's too late.
Laurent What happened after that? He was beside himself, I tried to talk to him I was afraid he'd hurt Tara.
It's too late.
Give me that! I'll help you.
I'll lake care of you.
She had a lover.
They were going away taking Tara with them.
What are you saying? You knew it.
Calm down.
Didn't you? Calm down.
I'll lake my daughter now and we're going away.
OK? Darling we're going on a trip together.
I won't let you hurt her.
I won't hurt Tara! She's all I have.
No, Laurent.
I killed Laurent.
My fingerprints were on the gun.
I panicked.
You know how many cops dream of nailing a lawyer down? I made it look like a burglary.
Come on, honey.
What did you do to Tara? I thought you were dead.
She'd have been given to the Delaunays.
You knew about that too? Laurent had told me his father had raped him.
He made me promise I'd tell no one.
I suggested pressing charges but he didn't want to make waves.
I'd never let Tara be raised by that lousy Edouard Delaunay.
Then I contacted Bacard.
How did you know him? Through a client.
Oh God! And you gave him my daughter? I knew he'd find the best possible family for her.
Good people.
I just wanted to make sure Tara was safe.
When I got out of the coma, why didn't you tell me anything? You knew it and yet you let me look for Tara for 2 years.
How could you look me in the eye? I tried to get her back, I swear I did.
Bacard wouldn't hear of it, he threatened me.
He threatened my family.
I did all I could to protect you.
To protect me? How about Claire? Did you protect her? I didn't think he'd kill her.
I never gave up.
When the noose tightened around Bacard, I asked him for Tara's adoption file or I'd turn him in.
We arranged to meet and I got the file.
ADOPTION CERTIFICATE What have you done? What have you done to me? I win.
I can see you.
This time, you'll win.
Hello, Alice.
Richard! Richard.
I saw her.
I saw Tara.
She's so beautiful.
But I can't lake her from her family.
I can't do that.
I have the feeling I'm no longer her mother.
Alice I don't know Look at me.
I am I have to go.
6 months? That's what you said last time.
Hello, superintendent.
I'll do this, bull could use a coffee.
- An Americano? - That's right.
No sugar.
- Thanks.
- What's that? Ancient history.
6 months later We have found the house.
We've found a nice house 2 km from Alice.
So you are really going to raise Tara together.
As we say, the more the merrier.
It's Louis.
Listen I wanted to say we're leaving today.
A kiss.
Goodbye.
One, two, three Go on.
What a beautiful cake! - 6 months and 3 days.
- I'm sorry.
- Did he tell you about today? - Yes.
