Season 4, Episode 2
Previously on Spiral SPIRAL 4 State of Terror Gentlemen, Iâm confused Either you saw Berthaud fire in self-defence or no one did and we have a problem We went in after the shots and you know it If you tell this to the judge, itâs murder and weâll be fired This is Chief Superintendent Herville who will be in charge of our district from now on More work, less navel-gazing We have 48 hours to prove to the judge that deportation would harm your family life Free Moussa Koné! Judging by his lack of hands, he was holding the explosive The lungs and chest have collapsed.
We call it a blast effect We canât leave him at the morgue By now the police will have identified him and told his family Violence is a part of life Itâs a shame about Hugo but we have to keep going Nobody move! Get out! Donât move! Whoâs the bitch that snitched on the African? Was it you, you little bitch? Did you snitch on the African? Her.
Take the rest downstairs Shut up! Move it! COLLABORATOR SPIRAL 4 State of Terror Whereâs the secretaryâs office? -Third floor.
Staircase A -Thanks -Hello -Sorry.
Iâll be back in half an hour -Police -What do you want? We need the records of one of your students, Sophie Mazerat Thatâs confidential.
Why should I? We could always arrest her for obstruction? You could but Why donât we let the lady decide? Come in Thank you SECRETARY MODERN HISTORY Got her! Maybe, but her only address is in the Gers It must be her parentsâ Itâs not much help, but still Her grades are all excellent, though It looks like sheâs top of the class There are millions of students here.
Itâs not like weâll bump into her We have her timetable.
We can check the lectures At ten, sheâs got civil law in hall three If sheâs building bombs, I doubt she goes to class With grades like that, she must do Here Let me summarise the situation, Your Honour For ten years my client has paid his monthly salary into this bank For ten years heâs been a respectable man Then suddenly the woman responsible for his account calls the Gestapo and destroys his life Madam, the bench does not appreciate your grandiloquence! In any case, it has no effect on me Itâs not grandiloquence, Your Honour, itâs the truth Mr Koné was betrayed out of pure racism Nowhere is it written that bank employees must check the validity of their clientsâ ID Theyâre not police informers This woman did it because Mr Konéâs black Itâs as simple as that And if all citizens are equal before the law this woman should appear in court for discrimination and racist behaviour Are you saying that your client will be pressing charges? My clientâs in shock, Your Honour Speaking of shock a bank employee was assaulted in retaliation this morning So please, donât try to play the victim You use images from a dark time in our history so allow me to extend the metaphor This morning, a bank worker was tied up and called a collaborator I think weâre losing our way, Your Honour My client, Moussa Koné is a chef with a pregnant wife He clearly has no connection to these activists Your Honour all weâre asking for is a little common sense Mr Koné has no previous convictions He isnât a threat Heâs a citizen of the world thatâs been chewed up by the system Pierre, how are you? I was about to put this in your pigeonhole John Antoine Jorkal wants you to represent him Johnny Jorkal? He already has lawyers Several.
And good ones too The type you see on TV And no offence, but youâre hardly What? A celebrity? Is that it? Exactly You donât usually work for major criminals Well, I donât know him Youâd be wise to accept Between you and me, Jorkal pays extremely well -If heâs happy heâs very generous -OK -Hello -Hello, Marianne -Is Judge Roban back? -Not for two days yet I came to fetch his files Iâm sick of being by myself, actually Iâm very busy, but But we miss him -Have you spoken? -Not at all.
You? No.
He hasnât returned my calls -Sounds like heâs feeling better -I hope so -Have a good day -You too -Well? -No luck Why donât we check the canteen? Sheâll want lunch after class I tried to call Pujade and find out how it went with the judge -And? -Heâs pulled a sickie Whatâs his number? I'l ring him Heâll see itâs you and hang up JP, itâs Laure.
I know you saw the judge this morning We need to talk.
Ring me back Laure -Sophie Mazerat? -Yes, thatâs me Hello.
Police.
Iâd like you to come with me OK, see you.
Itâs happening tomorrow -Whatâs this about? -Weâll explain -Whatâs going on? -It wonât take long The judge only extended your stay by fifteen days Fifteen days? I wonât last that long Try to see the glass half full, not half empty Madam, the glass is empty.
Iâm still a prisoner But you havenât been deported and weâve bought some time Iâve submitted a plea to the court that could succeed Iâm sorry This place drives you mad Some people hurt themselves on purpose, so they go to hospital Or they go on a hunger strike You name it Anything to get sent out of here I know Magali? Sheâs doing well and doing all she can to get you out of here So sit tight We demand the repeal of these xenophobic laws! We demand the freedom to go and live where we choose! Every human is a citizen of the world! Did you attack the bank? No, but whoever did had the right idea You idiot! Moussa got fifteen days thanks to you At least he wasnât deported Is this them? Did they attack the bank? -No -Yes Whatâs the point in smashing windows? You missed the hearing But you donât give a shit about him! Your bloke isnât the only one behind bars Itâs not about him.
Itâs about breaking the system -You think we like the system? -Thatâs how it looks You want to legalise them so they can work like slaves? There are 25,000 people waiting to be deported At twelve per month, itâll take 2,000 years So good luck with that We need to burn down the detention centres! Magali, come with me Down with prisons! Down with the racist state! Free Moussa Koné! Free Moussa Koné! All they need are some scented candles Forget it.
We donât need them No, to the xenophobic state! -Did your contact call you? -Yeah.
He has the maps Hello? Yeah OK Sophieâs been nicked -Shit! -How the hell did they find her? We were wearing balaclavas It wasnât the bank Theyâve found Hugo Great! We have to call it off.
The police will be waiting for us We ditch our phones and continue as planned, OK? Wait here.
Iâll be right back OK.
Amina? Go on.
Get dressed Weâve wasted enough time.
Bring her through Are you thirsty? Here Thanks Iâm sorry Being strip-searched is never nice Itâs useful for addicts, robbers, dealers but you shouldnât be here Youâre a good student.
You have excellent results You know my grades? Have you told my parents? -No.
Why? -Donât you have to? No I want a lawyer No problem.
Do you know one? No, I donât Fine.
Weâll bring in the duty lawyer So, what was the bomb for? What bomb? Sophie, a man is dead Youâre in custody for the possession and trafficking of explosives as an organised group Thatâs a 500,000 euro fine and ten years in prison So please, make an effort! This is Hugo Rozier He was your friend.
Look Thatâs after the explosion See? Before and after I donât know what you thought you were doing But we tracked you down in an hour You and your dimwit friends Look.
Hereâs your call list At 10:30pm you took a call through a transmitter in Montreuil, where the explosion was Then here at 3:21am another call near the Vincennes Forest Thatâs where we found Rozier and itâs roughly the time he died And this is a video Look closely Thatâs you You know what we call that in court? Proof Itâs not what you think.
I didnât want to do it I didnât want to What is it? Ms Karlssonâs here.
She wants to see her client She said she didnât have a lawyer Oh, shit! Ten minutes.
I need ten minutes.
Do whatever you can Sophie, I know it wasnât your fault Hugo was your friend.
You wouldnât want him to die The man with you in the video heâs the one who let him die, I know it Whatâs his name? Tell me his name and you can go -What are you doing here? -Replacing the duty lawyer She said she had no lawyer.
Why should I believe you? Youâre welcome to check, if you have time Otherwise, I promise it wonât take long Come with me -Did Thomas send you? -Yes So, tell me, were you mistreated? They stripped me, took my prints Thatâs normal procedure Did they mention you had the right to see a doctor? Fine Was a man present during your search? Shame Could I really get ten years in prison? Ten years for a bank window? Theyâve got a nerve! What about the bomb? Sorry? You have two minutes to tell me about the bomb or Iâm walking out So, what? From now on, weâre going to be up to our arses in lawyers? -Itâs ridiculous -Thereâll be no space to work By the way, Laure this is for you -Who gave you this? -No one.
It was on my desk SUMMONS Iâve been summoned for a head-to-head with Pujade The bastard stuck to his story We donât know that for sure Come on.
Pujade stayed at home.
What do you think happened? Sheâs all yours Right, Sophie.
Letâs go through what we know so far You own a Citroën ZX, numberplate -764 EDF 95? -Yes But it was stolen two days ago and I never had the time to come to the station and report it I donât see how it was stolen The doors werenât forced Itâs obvious.
The thief had the keys, didnât he? I never lock my car I always leave the keys in the glove box OK And the calls from your mobile I forgot to mention, I lent it to a friend that night She was babysitting and forgot her charger -And this friend is called -Marie I donât know her surname.
Sheâs a friend of a friend Iâm impressed, Sophie.
Really Youâre a fast learner But did your lawyer tell you? The more you deny it, the worse it gets You know that What did you do with your friendâs arm? Eat it? Hit yourself? Iâll ask you one last question If you answer it Iâll let you go straight away This bomb, what was it for? Amina? Lock her up.
Make sure she doesnât sleep Come on, you Come on! Weâll get her tomorrow She has to talk, otherwise sheâll go free and weâll have nothing Thatâs the main entrance to the building Cameras everywhere And hereâs the staff entrance.
Thatâs what we want The first employee comes in between 8:15am and 8:30am The door has ball cameras on both sides We canât touch them.
Theyâre linked to the security office -Bloody hell -Let me finish The safest way to reach the door is here along the wall Once weâre there we have five seconds to swipe the badge and go through the door Five seconds And here, on the third floor is the central server with all the residence applications If we can blow up the central server they wonât be able to deport anyone for six months How do we make bombs without Hugo? I have a plan B What if the cleaners are in? What can they do to us? Iâm not worried about us.
I donât want any victims Theyâre victims already Now, security always go round at different times so weâll start the operation as soon as they pass When will Marc get the security card? Heâs seeing the man this week Thomas, I need to know if thereâll be cleaners Forget about your bloody cleaners! Itâs revolution.
We have to destroy and rebuild, victims or not! Are you with me or against me? Iâm with you Thank you, Jean-Claude Have a seat Your reputation precedes you, Mr Clément Not many prosecutors decide to become lawyers Not many prisoners convicted of organised crime choose an unknown lawyer either Thatâs all in the past If youâd done some research, youâd know I changed my ways long ago In fact, itâs because I abandoned my old friends that Iâm under threat They want to pin this murder on me As if Iâd be stupid enough to dispatch one of my own colleagues The accusation is absurd As absurd as accusing a man of paedophilia because he helped a troubled child Whatâs your point, Mr Jorkal? Iâm sure you know what a miscarriage of justice is You know that once the trap has closed, you have no chance Youâre the one in prison, not me So donât try to put me in the same boat Thatâs the reason I want you -Why is that exactly? -Because youâre no fool, Mr Clément Youâre not sloppy.
Youâre a prosecutor Sharp, cold, and rigorous If I defend you, I want no secrets Nothing you omit to mention, no backtracking no contradictions I want the facts to be coherent and clear And I wonât do anything illegal but Iâm sure you knew that Warden, will you see my lawyer out? See you soon -Good Night -Night, you dirty rozzer -Shall I walk you back? -No, I have to go shopping I was going to take you to see my informer I thought it might be interesting -All right.
Letâs go -Yeah? Amina? All right? Get in.
Weâll go together See you tomorrow Happy shopping How was it? Business seems pretty good No, Paris is dead I swear, some days I think London or Malaga would be better Anywhere but this shithole Heâs right.
Theyâve been refused a late licence twice now Can you imagine? A club that shuts at two? What is this, the Middle East? Even in Saudi Arabia they have all-night clubs -Why wonât the council allow it? -Who knows? They donât have a reason The neighbours are fine with it Weâve had work done, it meets standards and they still refuse I have to go Chief if you could help us out you wonât regret it Iâll see what I can do Well? The ballâs in his court Come on! Stop dragging your feet! What floor? Fifth Very chic No computer? -I didnât hear you -I havenât got one Yeah right, and Iâm the fairy godmother! No post either.
Nothing Get up! Youâre all alone? No boyfriend? Itâs very tidy in here Did you clean the place? Photos everywhere No toothbrush, no underwear, no make-up Did you just move? Fine.
This is fun anyway Letâs go.
Change of tactics Amina, put her in the cell Tintin, check her call list.
Find out if she has a bloke Weâll ask around at the university Whatâs the point? You know we wonât find anything Whenâs your summons? -Thursday -And in the meantime? Am I the only one whoâs spinning out? Weâre all going to be fired and you donât care What choice do I have? Iâm trying to do my job But donât worry, Iâm scared Oh, yeah? Come in Hello, Pierre I gather you wanted to see me Itâs about the Jorkal case, Your Honour Jorkal? Thatâs reassuring.
With you, the poor womanâs in safe hands No, Iâm defending Johnny Jorkal, not the victim Really? I thought you were more the widow and orphan type It has more glory and is good for your image Sit down -Iâm surprised that even you -Even me? Come on Everyone knows that Jorkal showers his lawyers with cash and that it works Heâs racketeered, extorted, robbed, violated even killed people with impunity thanks to his defence, whoâll stoop as low as it takes to get him released I told him I wouldnât do that and certainly nothing illegal Thatâs easy to say but Rolexes and nice cars lead to arrogance and contempt for the law I warn you, Pierre.
Once you enter that world, thereâs no going back Your Honour, we donât even know if a crime was committed Bardèsâ body was never found Perfect.
You choose money, I choose justice -No, Iâm not -Have a good day, Pierre No way, Gilou The Sarahouis can shove their late licence up their arse Itâll never happen.
Theyâre under two enquiries One for human trafficking and the other for immoral earnings Really? Listen, Bassoni, the Sarahouis are my grassers so I have to give them something Why are you messing around with them? Youâve no idea how dodgy they are Model citizens donât make good sources Youâre right there Look, I just canât help you, Gilou See you -Hello? -JP? Itâs Laure Do you live here? I know what youâre going to say No, you donât -You want me to cover for you -How? You werenât there What, you know what happened? Then tell me The man was running away and I shot him? I never said that Iâll tell you what happened He was on top of the girl about to kill her You were outside.
I was alone You couldnât help me He saw me and stood up And I had a second to decide One second Itâs not a lot I didnât wait for him to point his gun at me -But thatâs the law -Yeah, I know Ever met a man who wanted to kill you? You know my job is different to yours I should have waited but I didnât have the guts Maybe I was scared shitless after seeing what he did to that girl I took him out, JP Iâm telling you the truth So what am I supposed to do? Whatever you like I didnât come to lecture you But we work together and I respect you I respect you too -Have a good day, sir.
Goodbye -Goodbye, Ms Karlsson Iâll be with you in two minutes Come with me Are you taking the piss? I go in for a minor offence and find a murder Not murder.
They have nothing on her Sorry, are you Sophieâs lawyer or am I? All right, drop it.
I donât know you Did the police tell you? She did.
And she seemed pretty shaky -Have you known her long? -Not really -Did she mention me? -No And donât worry, I told her what to tell the police Besides, I know them and theyâre a pain in the neck Do they have proof? Just a video but neither of you are recognisable How did you know it was me? I didnât, but I do now Hello Iâll call you as soon as I hear anything Go through.
Iâll be with you in two minutes So, Pierre Clément, youâre defending Jorkal? Yeah, itâs a tough one Thatâs a new dress, isnât it? How did you know? Itâs really nice Erkan You have to eat -Have you seen the schedule? -Yeah I leave tomorrow Youâll come back You have to believe youâll come back.
Stay strong Iâm a Kurdish militant, Moussa Theyâll arrest me off the plane and kill me Then you need to stay in France You donât get it! If I stay here, Iâm dead Listen I have some money Itâs hidden on a building site I want you to give it to a man called Yussuf -Tell him itâs from Erkan -Erkan -Erkan -Moussa Itâs really important -Erkan, I canât do it -Please But if I do that, Iâll be Itâs so heâll leave my family alone Otherwise heâll kill us all Please OK Look Thatâs the exact address and place where Iâve hidden the money I want you to give it to Yussuf And pass on this message, leave my family alone Yussuf Remember that.
Yussuf Whereâs Berthaud? Weâve got the go-ahead The go-ahead for what? You need to wake up.
The go-ahead to tap into Sophie Mazeratâs phone What? But Berthaudâs not up to speed Up to speed with what? She should be at work, then sheâd know And Escoffier? -Heâs -What a bunch of losers! Unbelievable! Shit! Chief? Oh, shit! Chief? -Bréa? -Yes? -Are you alone? -Yeah I need you to tail someone.

And where were you, while weâre slogging away? Donât you think this priority case might need you? If you donât like how we did it -Chief -No bloody excuses! Itâs too late! You messed it up! Iâm surprised at you Iâm starting to think youâre overrated, Berthaud Why the hell would he do that? Have her followed by a bloke from Finance Why did he let Sophie out? He was worried you werenât fast enough Fast enough for what? He couldnât wait an hour for me to come back? She was our only lead Do you know Herville well? By reputation.
Heâs a slave driver Heâs a die-hard policeman What does that mean? âA die-hard policemanâ? -Arenât we all die-hard policemen? -No I have my daughters And you -Herville has no private life -Back in a sec The Sarahouis want to help Remember the robbery on Avenue Montaigne? -Yeah, the Pommeray jewellers? -Yeah Theyâre going to meet some Dutch buyers.

Iâm with you Thank you, Jean-Claude Have a seat Your reputation precedes you, Mr Clément Not many prosecutors decide to become lawyers Not many prisoners convicted of organised crime choose an unknown lawyer either Thatâs all in the past If youâd done some research, youâd know I changed my ways long ago In fact, itâs because I abandoned my old friends that Iâm under threat They want to pin this murder on me As if Iâd be stupid enough to dispatch one of my own colleagues The accusation is absurd As absurd as accusing a man of paedophilia because he helped a troubled child Whatâs your point, Mr Jorkal? Iâm sure you know what a miscarriage of justice is You know that once the trap has closed, you have no chance Youâre the one in prison, not me So donât try to put me in the same boat Thatâs the reason I want you -Why is that exactly? -Because youâre no fool, Mr Clément Youâre not sloppy.
Youâre a prosecutor Sharp, cold, and rigorous If I defend you, I want no secrets Nothing you omit to mention, no backtracking no contradictions I want the facts to be coherent and clear And I wonât do anything illegal but Iâm sure you knew that Warden, will you see my lawyer out? See you soon -Good Night -Night, you dirty rozzer -Shall I walk you back? -No, I have to go shopping I was going to take you to see my informer I thought it might be interesting -All right.
Letâs go -Yeah? Amina? All right? Get in.
Weâll go together See you tomorrow Happy shopping How was it? Business seems pretty good No, Paris is dead I swear, some days I think London or Malaga would be better Anywhere but this shithole Heâs right.
Theyâve been refused a late licence twice now Can you imagine? A club that shuts at two? What is this, the Middle East? Even in Saudi Arabia they have all-night clubs -Why wonât the council allow it? -Who knows? They donât have a reason The neighbours are fine with it Weâve had work done, it meets standards and they still refuse I have to go Chief if you could help us out you wonât regret it Iâll see what I can do Well? The ballâs in his court Come on! Stop dragging your feet! What floor? Fifth Very chic No computer? -I didnât hear you -I havenât got one Yeah right, and Iâm the fairy godmother! No post either.
Nothing Get up! Youâre all alone? No boyfriend? Itâs very tidy in here Did you clean the place? Photos everywhere No toothbrush, no underwear, no make-up Did you just move? Fine.
This is fun anyway Letâs go.
Change of tactics Amina, put her in the cell Tintin, check her call list.
Find out if she has a bloke Weâll ask around at the university Whatâs the point? You know we wonât find anything Whenâs your summons? -Thursday -And in the meantime? Am I the only one whoâs spinning out? Weâre all going to be fired and you donât care What choice do I have? Iâm trying to do my job But donât worry, Iâm scared Oh, yeah? Come in Hello, Pierre I gather you wanted to see me Itâs about the Jorkal case, Your Honour Jorkal? Thatâs reassuring.
With you, the poor womanâs in safe hands No, Iâm defending Johnny Jorkal, not the victim Really? I thought you were more the widow and orphan type It has more glory and is good for your image Sit down -Iâm surprised that even you -Even me? Come on Everyone knows that Jorkal showers his lawyers with cash and that it works Heâs racketeered, extorted, robbed, violated even killed people with impunity thanks to his defence, whoâll stoop as low as it takes to get him released I told him I wouldnât do that and certainly nothing illegal Thatâs easy to say but Rolexes and nice cars lead to arrogance and contempt for the law I warn you, Pierre.
Once you enter that world, thereâs no going back Your Honour, we donât even know if a crime was committed Bardèsâ body was never found Perfect.
You choose money, I choose justice -No, Iâm not -Have a good day, Pierre No way, Gilou The Sarahouis can shove their late licence up their arse Itâll never happen.
Theyâre under two enquiries One for human trafficking and the other for immoral earnings Really? Listen, Bassoni, the Sarahouis are my grassers so I have to give them something Why are you messing around with them? Youâve no idea how dodgy they are Model citizens donât make good sources Youâre right there Look, I just canât help you, Gilou See you -Hello? -JP? Itâs Laure Do you live here? I know what youâre going to say No, you donât -You want me to cover for you -How? You werenât there What, you know what happened? Then tell me The man was running away and I shot him? I never said that Iâll tell you what happened He was on top of the girl about to kill her You were outside.
I was alone You couldnât help me He saw me and stood up And I had a second to decide One second Itâs not a lot I didnât wait for him to point his gun at me -But thatâs the law -Yeah, I know Ever met a man who wanted to kill you? You know my job is different to yours I should have waited but I didnât have the guts Maybe I was scared shitless after seeing what he did to that girl I took him out, JP Iâm telling you the truth So what am I supposed to do? Whatever you like I didnât come to lecture you But we work together and I respect you I respect you too -Have a good day, sir.
Goodbye -Goodbye, Ms Karlsson Iâll be with you in two minutes Come with me Are you taking the piss? I go in for a minor offence and find a murder Not murder.
They have nothing on her Sorry, are you Sophieâs lawyer or am I? All right, drop it.
I donât know you Did the police tell you? She did.
And she seemed pretty shaky -Have you known her long? -Not really -Did she mention me? -No And donât worry, I told her what to tell the police Besides, I know them and theyâre a pain in the neck Do they have proof? Just a video but neither of you are recognisable How did you know it was me? I didnât, but I do now Hello Iâll call you as soon as I hear anything Go through.
Iâll be with you in two minutes So, Pierre Clément, youâre defending Jorkal? Yeah, itâs a tough one Thatâs a new dress, isnât it? How did you know? Itâs really nice Erkan You have to eat -Have you seen the schedule? -Yeah I leave tomorrow Youâll come back You have to believe youâll come back.
Stay strong Iâm a Kurdish militant, Moussa Theyâll arrest me off the plane and kill me Then you need to stay in France You donât get it! If I stay here, Iâm dead Listen I have some money Itâs hidden on a building site I want you to give it to a man called Yussuf -Tell him itâs from Erkan -Erkan -Erkan -Moussa Itâs really important -Erkan, I canât do it -Please But if I do that, Iâll be Itâs so heâll leave my family alone Otherwise heâll kill us all Please OK Look Thatâs the exact address and place where Iâve hidden the money I want you to give it to Yussuf And pass on this message, leave my family alone Yussuf Remember that.
Yussuf Whereâs Berthaud? Weâve got the go-ahead The go-ahead for what? You need to wake up.
The go-ahead to tap into Sophie Mazeratâs phone What? But Berthaudâs not up to speed Up to speed with what? She should be at work, then sheâd know And Escoffier? -Heâs -What a bunch of losers! Unbelievable! Shit! Chief? Oh, shit! Chief? -Bréa? -Yes? -Are you alone? -Yeah I need you to tail someone.

He was worried you werenât fast enough Fast enough for what? He couldnât wait an hour for me to come back? She was our only lead Do you know Herville well? By reputation.
