Season 7, Episode 1
1 - Damn it, what the hell is going on? - Can you pop the hood? - You sure it won't blow up in my face? - Damn, this shit is hot! - There you go, a blown water hose, there's nothing we can do about it.
A cylinder head gasket too.
You have to maintain your motor! - Do you think we have the resources? You idiot! - It's fucked, it won't start.
- We've had everything now! - Your cars are rubbish! Frankly, it's woeful.
- You know what? We're stupid, Next time we'll take your 4x4.
- Moron! Don't look at me like that, if you know what's good for you.
Yes? No, no, no! I can't.
We were coming from a search and we broke down.
No.
Stop freaking out! What? I don't understand anything you're telling me! OK, don't go anywhere, I'm on my way.
Well? - They're sending us a tow truck in 3 hours.
- Oh no, fuck! I have an emergency! Here are our guys, finally! Slackers! Where have they been? Let's go! Get a move on! Let's go! Get out the car, I need the car.
Move your ass! Move your ass, you! - What's going on, boss? - What do I do with the guy in custody that we picked up? - He won't bother us, he stays there, that'll teach him.
- Do you want me to come with you? - No, I'm going alone.
- Will you be OK? - Yes, I'm a big boy.
Take care of this shit.
We're freezing our balls off tonight.
- Where is it? - At the back, on the left.
The prosecutor is here.
- This one is ours.
- The Police Chief sends his apologies, he needs to be at the ministry.
- Madam Prosecutor, my men are ready to go.
- Sorry, Commissioner, but this is for the Crime Squad.
- The last time we met, weren't you swamped with terrorism cases? - That's true, yes, we are a little overloaded.
- I have a team ready to go.
- My concern is that Commissioner Herville used to lead your division.
For me, that raises an issue of objectivity.
- I understand.
But my men will give their all.
There will be a lot of pressure, you will need to get results.
- Very well, let's run with it.
- Commander Escoffier, team leader who will lead the investigation.
Thank you for putting your trust in us.
Count on me to get results fast.
- Madam Prosecutor! Madam Prosecutor! - Your Honour.
- You know about Herville? - I have just come from there.
- What do you know? I knew him well.
- There is nothing obvious, it's too soon.
We just dismissed the terrorist hypothesis.
- Which department did you assign? - District 2 Judiciary Police.
- Commander Berthaud - No, a certain Escoffier.
- Oh? I admit that I would very much like to lead this investigation.
- I understand, but it's a complicated case that will take a few months.
- I have had surgery, madam, I have resumed my duties, I am fit to handle this case.
- Anyway, the duty roster will determine where it lands.
- Of course.
- Have a good day.
- Go and see if you can get any information from the bystanders.
- Yeah, you're right.
- Ali, come with me, please.
Come on.
I don't have a dictaphone.
- Take my cell phone.
Here.
- The victim is a 53 year old man, it's Commissioner The victim is a 53 year old man, it's Jacques Herville.
Please.
There.
He has a holster on his belt.
The weapon is not present.
Bullet wound on the forehead, on the left side, just above the brow bone.
- No need for fingerprints, I found his papers.
Mr.
Wang, 39 years old, the restaurant owner, been in France for 10 years.
Not known to the police.
Here's his phone.
The waitress said she left with the cook around 10:30 PM.
Herville wasn't there yet.
- That's all there is in his jacket.
To summarize: Herville arrives late, he sits down here, he has a drink with someone we don't know - We don't know anything yet about this person.
I asked them to look for fingerprints on the glasses and the bottles.
With a bit of luck, the guy is on file.
- Let's not forget the 3rd phone.
Next, what do we have? - Here.
Next, some guys break in through the service door of the kitchen.
They rush in there at the bar.
There were at least three of them, we have their footprints going everywhere.
- So they go through there, they rob Herville and the owner, and they probably go to the safe.
What does the safe tell us? - It wasn't forced.
The owner must have given up the combination.
The clock indicates that it was opened at 11:12 PM.
- Actually, it's just a pathetic robbery that went wrong.
There were two gun shots.
What does that tell us? - Nothing.
Last night, the neighborhood was all fired up.
It was the final of the women's volleyball championship in China.
The Chinese celebrated it.
The match ended at 11:30 PM.
A lot of craziness, people everywhere.
- What the hell was the boss doing here? - I don't know, maybe he was a regular? Does he have a wife or someone who could tell us? - He's been divorced for a long time.
His wife and daughter live in Montreal, I think.
I'm going to see his deputy.
- There's something I don't get.
The guy he was drinking with, who left his phone, he disappeared into the night? - He was able to escape or he's the killer or an accomplice.
Well, we can't exclude anything.
Tom, get all the pictures of the area and get the call logs for the cell phones of Herville, the owner and the 3rd phone.
- I'm on it.
- Escoffier.
We should let Commander Berthaud know, shouldn't we? We can't let her find out about it from the TV.
OK.
I thought it would be better coming from you, but I understand.
I'll take care of it.
- I'll do it.
I'll do it.
- Us cops, we're in the front line.
We take society's violence full in the face.
For years, I waded through that shit, told myself that it didn't affect me.
It overwhelmed me.
One morning, I couldn't get up.
I couldn't take it anymore.
- Do you know why you snapped at that time? No special event? You can't think of anything? - I have I have a little girl.
She was born premature.
I had to prepare myself I had to accept that she could And then it's arranged for her to leave the hospital.
We went to get her Everything was fine.
But I I was surrounded by love, but I was too anxious.
I was crushed.
Inside.
And I couldn't I screwed everything up.
- What do you mean? - I fled.
- Thank you, Laure.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Someone else? Jacques? Would you like to share? No? Stephanie? Not you either? Martin? - They seem friendly, your new colleagues.
- Yeah.
Whenever I see them, I tell myself that I'm not doing so bad.
It's weird that you came today.
You know I managed to talk about what happened for the first time today.
It's crazy, right? - Listen I don't know how to tell you this Herville is dead.
We found him in a restaurant in district 13, with a bullet in his head.
I don't know what happened.
We think it's a robbery gone wrong.
I don't know anything else yet.
- It's not possible, I spoke to him on Friday.
- I promise I'll sort it out, this case.
I won't let anything get by me.
I have to go.
I'll let you know.
- Oh shit! Damn, fuck! Watch out! - But I'm not well! - Damn, it's fucked! - I can't take it anymore.
- Wait, wait! Watch out.
Shit! You're killing me.
Come here.
Come on, I'm going to splash some water on your face.
Let me help you.
Gives me the shits.
Come on, come with me.
Come on, I tell you! Let's go Lean on the wall.
You're going to hurt yourself.
- Here.
It will pass.
Let's go.
- Exercise! What's going on? - I can't take anymore of her withdrawal.
She doesn't have enough Subutex.
- There's no doctor's appointment for two weeks.
- Can't we bring her appointment forward? - What do you think? The exercise will do her good.
Let's go! Still nothing? - No.
- I took everything: his files, his computer.
There you go, a souvenir.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- The Commissioner received a call from a prepaid mobile phone.
We found the phone on a table at the Chinese restaurant.
Do you know who it belongs to? - Here.
Was he working on any big cases? - You know, it's district 93, but there's no organized crime.
I can't imagine who would want to attack him.
- Richard, close the boot.
- In the last fortnight, we have logged several calls from this phone.
Apparently, it was only used to contact the Commissioner.
- It's true that he seemed preoccupied recently.
I asked him, but in vain.
- A problem with an informer? - I don't know.
- We'll put all this in writing.
Nico, take the box from Commander Dujol.
JP, can you take his statement? - I spotted a car on the surveillance cameras.
Do you want to take look? - Yes, thanks.
- Are you coming, Gilou? - On my way.
Put it there.
- We are 2 minutes from the restaurant.
That's the Clio.
There are three of them: two in front and one behind, with his arm out the window.
The picture was taken at 11:17 PM, which is 5 minutes after the safe was opened.
Does that fit? - Go forward a little.
Oh shit, we don't have the plates.
- Go back.
Zoom in.
Dark jacket, big red stripe.
It's identifiable.
- It's a bit feeble as a clue.
- Wait, stop! Stop.
Stop.
Excuse me.
Zoom in on the front door.
It's dented.
It may be stolen.
Start a search.
- Without license plates, there's going to be a lot.
- I don't think so.
No.
Statistics say on average 2 Clios are stolen every week in Ile-de-France.
- OK.
What do you do after work? You go home, turn out the lights and read the statistics? I can see that you attended officer training class.
- I finished first in the class! Are you starting the search or what? - I would have preferred to see you again under different circumstances.
- Yes - Do you have two minutes? - Yeah.
- Have you moved offices? - Building A is undergoing asbestos removal.
Come in.
- You are leading the investigation, but where is Commander Berthaud? - She has been on sick leave for a few weeks.
Depression.
- Oh I thought she was indestructible.
- Me too.
What brings you here, Your Honour? - I want the Herville case.
The prosecutor's office is reluctant, so if you could keep me informed, I will arrange to be on duty on the day the case is assigned.
I was very fond of Commissioner Herville.
He was a pain at first, always ready to challenge the authority of the magistrates.
and his opinions often lacked subtlety, but all of that made him an excellent policeman.
- Excuse me.
Yes? - We have a burned out Clio at Argenteuil.
It was burned last night.
- All right, I'm on my way.
I will keep you informed, you can count on me.
- Thank you.
- I'll call you before I report to the prosecutor's office.
You're welcome.
- Have a good day.
- Participation in activities is important.
- OK.
- Can I talk to you? - Yes, of course.
Come in.
- I don't need long.
- Have a seat.
I'm listening.
- I want to go back to work.
- That seems very premature to me.
- Why? I'm sleeping much better.
I've gained 2 Kg since my arrival.
And I'm running every morning, 5 Km.
- That's great, it tells me that we're on the right path.
But, do you remember that we signed a care agreement together with a time frame.
You are committed.
- To myself.
- You daughter is also part of the deal.
We had made good progress, you were ready to see her again.
We had even booked the family space, I believe.
Wait Yes, in 2 weeks.
- I'll call her father and see her at his place.
I am sure he will be OK with that.
- I would have preferred a more structured reunion.
- The family environment is good.
- Depression consists of highs and lows.
Now, you are up, but in a few days, you will be down.
If you are alone at that moment, it will be complicated.
Is someone waiting for you outside? - Yes.
You can't force me to stay.
I'm free.
- I will write you a prescription for one month.
We finally found the right medication for you.
It's important that you don't stop this treatment.
A colleague will keep an eye on you.
You can't deal with this alone.
Let us help you.
- It's a Clio.
It's well and truly torched.
Take a little picture from here.
The rear plate is gone.
At the front too.
- Here, look.
It's dented just like in the video.
- Hey, what are you doing here? That's right, stop! Get out! - Take a picture of that.
We have a welcoming committee.
- What are you doing here? - Are you deaf, or what? - Take a look in the boot, see if there's anything there.
- No, nothing.
They're excitable, aren't they? - We're not hanging around.
Take some photos.
- Piss off! - Get the serial number, Tom will identify it.
Got it? - Yeah.
- Bugger off! - Oh! Take it easy! Yeah, Tom, can you identify a Clio that we found burned out? VF34 C9HP 0BY015422.
- They're coming.
- Hey, come on! - Keep your distance! - Come on, Gilou.
- Hurry up! - Go on, back off! - Come on, Gilou.
- Thanks, Tom.
- Fuck! Fucking piece of shit motor! - Clutch.
- Fuck! - They're a bit lively round here.
Tell the pound to tow the carcass.
We'll send it to Forensics.
The Clio belongs to an education centre for juvenile delinquents.
- Some kid stole it to do the robbery? - I don't know.
It's in district 19.
- Hello.
I'll take your card.
Thank you.
Come with me.
- I've been waiting for you for 30 minutes.
You know how to play hard to get.
- So where are we now with this? Do you have any news regarding the judge? Is she back from sick leave? - No, but she has left on maternity leave.
The good news is that the file was forwarded to a new judge, so we can move forward.
- Who is it? - Wagner.
- Oh no, fuck! He hates me! He is super detail-oriented, He will go through my file with a fine toothcomb, I'll never be summoned! - I'll keep on him.
It'll take 3 to 4 weeks.
- 3 to 4 weeks? Do you know what my life is like in here? I can't leave my cell to take exercise anymore because of the racketeering, I live 24x7 in 12 square meters with a cell mate who suffers from withdrawal and keeps me up all night.
- I know - No, you don't know! Did you ever have to take a shit in front of someone, well did you? - I'll get you out of here.
- You've been saying that for the last 3 months, come back when you've got something new.
Guard! - Josephine! Josephine! - Guard! - The service vehicle that was stolen, what was the make? - A Clio.
- What color? - Blue.
Dark blue.
- Do you have any idea who could have done this? - No, I don't know.
I just saw that the keys weren't there any more.
- On the board, there? - Yes.
- Have you lodged a complaint? - No, I didn't have time.
It stresses the kids out to see cops.
- No.
I won't calm down.
I'm not doing what the judge says! Green spaces are out of the question! The trees make me anxious.
And, frankly, I'm not cut out to push a wheelbarrow.
He pisses me off this judge! - I need the list of young people who were here the day before yesterday.
- Are you going to question them? - Mmm-mmm.
- I'm here to help them, not to hand them over to the police.
- What happened to the door? - An altercation with a young person that I am taking care of.
- He was very upset.
- He doesn't respect the demands of his legal supervision, I threatened to report him to the judge, he got angry.
Yes, these things happen.
- Perhaps it was him who nicked your keys to piss you off.
This is a very serious matter.
He's bad news, this kid.
Two people are dead.
- What are you saying? - What's his name? - Miss, we need an answer.
- His name is Rayan.
Rayan Khelfa.
- There you go.
Thank you.
Khelfa, 12th floor.
Hello.
Police.
Are you Rayan's mother? - Yes.
What has he done? - Is he here? - Hello.
- What has he done? - Hello.
- Hello, I'm his brother.
What do you want with him? - We want to see Rayan.
Is he here? - Rayan! - Are you Rayan? You're coming with us.
We need to talk to you.
Oh, oh, oh! Come here! Where are you going? Come here! - Let me go! - Come here, for Christ's sake! - Let me go! Let me go, damn it! - That's enough already.
- Don't hurt him! You haven't even said what you want from him? Let me go! - You have une commission rogatoire? - Don't worry.
- Let me go, you bastards! Wallah, let me go, I haven't done anything! - Here.
- What is it? - Rayan Khelfa, you are being placed in custody at 3:53 PM for armed robbery and murder.
- Mum - You have the right to remain silent, to be seen by a doctor and to have a lawyer.
- I didn't do anything.
Akallah, I didn't do anything! I swear.
- What connects the theft of the car to the double murder? What proof is there that this kid was at the Chinese restaurant? - The call logs from his phone have given us nothing.
His cell phone was off all evening.
- We have to break him, otherwise we've got nothing.
Come on Let's pick up from where we left off.
So You don't know the restaurant.
The robbery isn't you.
The car theft isn't you either.
- Use the polite "You", Commander.
"The theft isn't you".
- It's weird, your teacher says that you stole the car.
- "That you stole.
" - Please don't interrupt.
- Please don't address my client informally.
- Does that makes you laugh? Look at this.
Does that make you laugh too? - What is this bullshit? - I would like to talk to him.
- You have already had the opportunity.
- You know there are cameras everywhere in Paris? That means we saw you with your friends in a Clio in district 13, right next to the restaurant, 5 minutes after the robbery.
- I didn't kill anyone! OK, the car, that's me.
I stole it from my teacher, because We had a disagreement.
But I didn't kill anyone! - What did you do with the car? - I went joy riding to let off steam.
Afterwards, after I calmed down, I left it in a street with the keys inside.
- Which street? What time? - I don't know! You ask too many questions! It was near my neighborhood, in the evening.
- So you park the motor, and you piss off, some guy comes by, takes the car and goes and commits a robbery.
Is that it? Do you think we're stupid?! Do you think we're stupid?! Yes, Your Honour.
It's Commander Escoffier.
We have a suspect.
The prosecutor's office will want to clear it, he's a minor, he's 15 years old.
- 15 years old? Do you think he was involved in the robbery? - He has admitted the car theft.
He didn't say anything else.
- I guess he wasn't alone.
- Thank you for letting me know.
I will arrange to be on duty tomorrow.
- OK.
Good evening, Your Honour.
- Goodbye.
- Very good, thank you.
We have a problem.
The Herville case was entrusted to Judge Vargas.
He too is on duty.
- What? - The Vice President spoke with the prosecutor this morning.
- You must not get involved in the assignment of cases.
It is a founding principle of the independence of justice.
- We are in agreement.
That's precisely what I reminded you of yesterday.
- Don't tell me that this assignment is due to chance.
I know you talked to the Vice President this morning, following which, Judge Vargas got the case.
- Effectively, The Vice-President intervened, but his decision was driven by important objective considerations.
- What are you talking about? - You should have received a letter.
Your Honour, you will be retiring in three months.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
- At this pace, you will run the marathon in less than 3 hours.
- The best thing is, if I don't run for a couple of days, I miss it.
- You've become a real athlete.
- Shit, I've hit rock bottom! - A little vegan salad and it would be perfect.
- Maybe a small beer! I'll be right with you.
- OK.
Hello.
- Hello - Are you OK? - Did you get back into sports? - Yes, I have a new coach.
Ali, my second-in-command.
Laure, the former team leader.
- Hi.
- Hi, how are you? - Guys, we debrief in 5 minutes? - Do have have 2 minutes to talk? - Of course.
- Is this your new office? - Yes.
- They didn't mess around! - What are you doing here? - I want to get back on the team.
- Didn't you ask for a transfer? - Yes, but it was suspended because of my sick leave.
- You're not on leave any more? - Well, no.
You see, I saw the doctor and he agreed that I should return to work.
Frankly, I feel like I'm ready.
- You know, it was difficult for me to turn the page.
I'm starting to get there.
But for you to come back to work now, with us, I don't think so.
- Gilou, it's Herville.
You think I can stay away? - It's a simple investigation.
A robbery that went wrong with a 15 year old kid who won't hesitate to shop his accomplices.
- You told me that Herville had a meeting in a restaurant, and at the same time, there's a robbery.
Do you believe it's by chance? - You would have handled it differently, but it's me who is leading this investigation.
- Can you remove the cuffs? Thank you.
No, that's OK, it's good.
- Sure? - Yes.
- Your Honour.
- Attorney.
- Excuse me, can I speak to you? You have seen that the suspect is a minor? - That did not escape my notice.
- I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but you know that you need special clearance to question a minor? Do you have it? - No, but that doesn't prevent me from conducting a preliminary examination of this young man.
- Quite.
But being the only judge on duty today to have this clearance, this case will eventually come back to me.
It will save time.
Young man, you are here in connection with charges of armed robbery and murder.
To be clear, you are accused of participating in a robbery followed by a double murder.
At the end of this interview, I will decide whether or not you should be indicted.
Look at me when I am speaking to you.
- Why isn't it my usual judge? He wants to pin the death of a cop on me.
- We know you were present at the time of the double murder.
- The cops have got me mixed up, it wasn't me who did that.
- If it wasn't you, then who did it? - I don't know anything about it! Hey, sir, I swear to you, I've never seen these guys.
- Please.
If you will permit me, Your Honour - No, no.
Excuse me, Attorney.
I'm listening.
- Well, actually, It started with a disagreement with my teacher, because It's a long story.
So, I took her car.
Well, I stole it.
I met up with my friends in Argenteuil.
- Didier, please.
Sorry.
- I'm Rayan's mother.
You summoned me.
- Madam, please.
First I am going to talk to your son then with you.
- I have a job, I can't wait.
- You will wait, like everyone else.
It concerns your son.
- So what? I can't help it if he screws up! I don't understand anything with this kid! He has his father's bad genes.
He is rotten.
- leave.
- I don't have the time! - Sit down.
- No.
Mom, please! - You need to leave! - Hey, speak nicely! Don't you understand French? - Sit down.
- What's your problem? Don't speak like that! You're nobody! Huh? Do you understand what I am saying? - Please.
- You come here, you tell me I don't know what! - Calm down! Calm down, spread your legs! - Let go of me! - Spread your legs! - Let go of me! Who do you think you are? - Calm down! - Take him to the holding cell, please.
- Director.
- Ah, Mrs.
Karlsson! Coffee? - Thank you.
- Please sit down.
I'm listening.
- I would like a solitary cell.
I just learned from my lawyer that I'm going to be here for a while longer.
I'm telling you, I won't make it.
- Mmm.
I'm sorry, but with the current level of occupancy, It's just not possible.
- Then change my cell.
Living with my cell mate is unbearable.
You haven't heard anything from me in 3 months, surely you can arrange that for me.
- Mrs Corinne Siboni? - Yes that's her.
- How is her drug use? - She's being weaned off drugs.
- I recognize the lawyer's evasiveness.
Let me rephrase my question more clearly: is she continuing to use drugs? Not very engaging as an answer.
If you don't give me anything, it's going to be hard.
Yes or no? - Yes, when she has some.
- That's not news for me, I know that drugs are in use here.
I want to know who is managing this traffic.
That's where I need you.
- You want me to snitch? - Spoken like a true criminal.
I'm talking about mutual help.
You wanted mine, right? - It won't be necessary.
- Commander Berthaud! Hello.
- Hello.
- Laure! I'm pleased to see you again.
- Me too.
You look well.
So, will you be leading the case? I went to the police station this morning, I saw some colleagues.
- Will you return to work? - It's It's a little complicated.
- I know what you are going through.
Escoffier told me briefly.
- So? Young Rayan, what have we got? - I was this close to him confessing his involvement in the robbery, and then Otherwise, I could only charge him with the car theft.
- Do you believe that a 15 year old could commit a double murder? - He could have been involved.
It's difficult to commit a robbery alone.
In any case, as it stands, we are missing some key pieces.
We don't have the results of the forensic analysis of the crime scene, we found the car used in the robbery, but it's completely burned out.
Escoffier has sent it to the pound.
- Forensics found nothing? - They have not worked on it yet.
- They pulled the kid in too soon.
They pulled him in way too soon.
They should have conducted a surveillance operation.
- You never give up, do you? Take care of yourself.
It's serious, the warning you got.
- Hey, girls! Look who's coming! - Did you miss us? - Nice coat.
- Can I talk to you? - What do you want? You turn up like that.
You've got a nerve! - What do you want from Lola? - Leave her alone.
- We were just starting to have some fun! - Clear off! Clear off! - Come on, she wants her to herself.
We know what gypsies are like.
It's OK.
Stop.
Pass the ball! - Well? What do you want? - Subutex.
It's for Corinne.
- I don't have any.
But I've got some weed.
It will calm her down.
- How much? - Do you think that money is enough? Don't worry, it's a gift.
You'll have it tonight.
That way, you'll sleep well.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Commander Berthaud, District 2 Judicary Police.
I'm looking for a burned-out Clio that came in the day before yesterday.
- We'll take care of you.
- That's it, this one.
- Do you need any help? - I'm good.
Hello.
- Hello.
- I meed to speak to the manager.
- Of course.
Max, please.
- Yes? Hello.
- Hello, sir.
I need to see the security camera video.
Is that possible? - No problem.
I'll be right with you.
- March 7th.
- Let's start with "March", The 7th - At 10:19 PM.
- Here you go.
- Can you speed up a bit? - Fast forward.
- I want to know who pays at 10:19 PM.
- Yes - There! It's him! - Should I freeze it? - It's him.
If he turns around, freeze the picture.
Go on, show me your face.
That's good, right there, stop! Can you zoom in? - OK, that's it.
- Perfect.
Here's a USB stick.
Can you transfer the file? - There you go.
His name is Jimmy Meyer, 19 years old, well known to the Argenteuil Serious Crimes department.
He already has a quite a police record.
Violent robberies and 6 months ago, he was indicted for the robbery of an apartment at Epinay, then released for lack of evidence.
- But you didn't follow due process, we can't put anything on the record.
- Hang on Without me, you would have missed this lead.
Everything is here.
The Serious Crimes department gave me his number.
You just have to plug in in.
- I know you want to come back.
You don't need to prove that you are a good cop.
The problem is Escoffier.
- Gilou stays as team leader.
I was thinking of a position working for you.
I would be there in support of the investigation.
- Since he's been the leader, he's been fully committed.
He's trained his second-in-command, we have a good team dynamic.
I do not want to break that.
Believe me, I'm sorry.
- We didn't follow due process, so we can't put anything on the record, but it's interesting.
I called all the youth centres.
Antony has no room, neither does Evry.
Noisy may have a room in a fortnight, but it's not certain.
- All the educational centers in Ile-de-France are full? - There's one place left at La Creuse, but I'm against taking him away from his home.
- Why? - Rayan has a complicated family situation.
His father left when he was born.
But his brother, Fouad, is serious.
I've been hearing good things about him for a while.
I really think that he can help Rayan to sort himself out.
- Yes, but, right now, it's not working out amazingly well.
- He's only 15 years old, he's not a lost cause yet.
Don't cast him adrift.
It would be disastrous for him.
If I understand correctly, you don't know for sure that he was involved in the robbery.
- Yes, OK I will see.
Thank you.
What are we going to do with you? - Strict legal supervision seems appropriate to me.
- Madam, that would mean him returning home.
How do you see things? - I don't know I work in a bar, I have a complicated schedule.
Last year, when he was in the youth centre, he was fine.
- What? What? What? Go to the youth centre? No, no, no.
I swear, I'm not going back, I'm done! Your Honour, That's it, it's over.
I'll stop the nonsense and everything.
I'll start on the right path.
You know, mom, when you're not there, Fouad is at home.
I'm not by myself.
- Listen, you will return home.
But don't forget that you have been indicted in a very serious case.
You must remain at the disposition of the court for the rest of the investigation.
That means that, as soon as I summon you, you must come here.
Otherwise, the police will come and get you.
I am accompanying your legal supervision with very strict requirements, including the requirement to attend meetings scheduled by your teacher.
I am counting on you to respect all of these measures in full.
- Good evening, ladies.
Meal time.
- Good evening.
- Enjoy your meal.
- Good evening.
- Enjoy your meal.
- Come on, my beauty, we're here.
There you go, my beauty.
We put the little blanket there.
Yes, my beauty.
There you go! There you go, look.
Yes.
You see? - You haven't located the mobile phone yet? - No.
- Where did the info on Meyer come from? - Laure.
Laure Berthaud.
- Is she investigating our case? - Yes, why? At least we are making progress.
He has the right profile.
- OK, I've got him! District 20, Porte de Lilas.
He's really moving.
- He's on wheels.
Let's go, let's get moving! Tom and Nico, where are you? - Flanders Avenue.
- We're arriving at Tanger Street.
The signal hasn't moved for more than 20 minutes, sweep the area.
- OK, received.
- It's not them, is it? Look, look, it's him, there.
It's them? - We've got them, in front of a minimart, Morocco Square.
We'll park on the other side.
Tom, try to park on Morocco Street, near the grocery store.
- OK, we're nearly there.
- Look at this car.
Chatting, chatting.
- We're in position, Gilou.
- Good, I see you.
- Chatting, huh! - Fuck, it can't be, it's that little prick Rayan! - Fuck, he really made fools out of us.
- Who are these guys? Take their picture, all four.
- Where's my cash? My money! - What money? - What do you mean, "what money"? - I don't have your money.
- Are you kidding me? - I don't have your money! - Where the fuck is it? - Calm down, calm down, calm down! - Oh, oh, oh! Bloody hell fire! Wow! Fuck, he's going to kill him! Rayan's out of here.
OK! Arrest them! Arrest them! Police! Police! - Let's get out of here! - Get the plate! Sir! Sir! - Did you get it? - Yeah, we got it.
- Commandant Escoffier, 2e DJP.
On a un blessé place du Maroc.
No, it's fine, thank you.
- As you wish.
The body has evidence of a hematoma on the right side of the abdomen, which leads me to believe that a cylindrical object similar to a baseball bat was used.
The blow was violent and could have resulted in a fall who would explain this other hematoma close to the temple.
Howver, this is not the cause of death.
The victim was killed by a bullet.
There is an entry wound in the forehead area and an exit wound at the back of the skull.
- We found a 9mm bullet.
- That would be consistent with my observations.
The bullet was fired at close range.
- Can she come in? - Of course.
(- Come in.
Come in.
) - Hello.
- Hello.
- We'll solve the case together.
Thanks: Carole Moireau & Google Translate
A cylinder head gasket too.
You have to maintain your motor! - Do you think we have the resources? You idiot! - It's fucked, it won't start.
- We've had everything now! - Your cars are rubbish! Frankly, it's woeful.
- You know what? We're stupid, Next time we'll take your 4x4.
- Moron! Don't look at me like that, if you know what's good for you.
Yes? No, no, no! I can't.
We were coming from a search and we broke down.
No.
Stop freaking out! What? I don't understand anything you're telling me! OK, don't go anywhere, I'm on my way.
Well? - They're sending us a tow truck in 3 hours.
- Oh no, fuck! I have an emergency! Here are our guys, finally! Slackers! Where have they been? Let's go! Get a move on! Let's go! Get out the car, I need the car.
Move your ass! Move your ass, you! - What's going on, boss? - What do I do with the guy in custody that we picked up? - He won't bother us, he stays there, that'll teach him.
- Do you want me to come with you? - No, I'm going alone.
- Will you be OK? - Yes, I'm a big boy.
Take care of this shit.
We're freezing our balls off tonight.
- Where is it? - At the back, on the left.
The prosecutor is here.
- This one is ours.
- The Police Chief sends his apologies, he needs to be at the ministry.
- Madam Prosecutor, my men are ready to go.
- Sorry, Commissioner, but this is for the Crime Squad.
- The last time we met, weren't you swamped with terrorism cases? - That's true, yes, we are a little overloaded.
- I have a team ready to go.
- My concern is that Commissioner Herville used to lead your division.
For me, that raises an issue of objectivity.
- I understand.
But my men will give their all.
There will be a lot of pressure, you will need to get results.
- Very well, let's run with it.
- Commander Escoffier, team leader who will lead the investigation.
Thank you for putting your trust in us.
Count on me to get results fast.
- Madam Prosecutor! Madam Prosecutor! - Your Honour.
- You know about Herville? - I have just come from there.
- What do you know? I knew him well.
- There is nothing obvious, it's too soon.
We just dismissed the terrorist hypothesis.
- Which department did you assign? - District 2 Judiciary Police.
- Commander Berthaud - No, a certain Escoffier.
- Oh? I admit that I would very much like to lead this investigation.
- I understand, but it's a complicated case that will take a few months.
- I have had surgery, madam, I have resumed my duties, I am fit to handle this case.
- Anyway, the duty roster will determine where it lands.
- Of course.
- Have a good day.
- Go and see if you can get any information from the bystanders.
- Yeah, you're right.
- Ali, come with me, please.
Come on.
I don't have a dictaphone.
- Take my cell phone.
Here.
- The victim is a 53 year old man, it's Commissioner The victim is a 53 year old man, it's Jacques Herville.
Please.
There.
He has a holster on his belt.
The weapon is not present.
Bullet wound on the forehead, on the left side, just above the brow bone.
- No need for fingerprints, I found his papers.
Mr.
Wang, 39 years old, the restaurant owner, been in France for 10 years.
Not known to the police.
Here's his phone.
The waitress said she left with the cook around 10:30 PM.
Herville wasn't there yet.
- That's all there is in his jacket.
To summarize: Herville arrives late, he sits down here, he has a drink with someone we don't know - We don't know anything yet about this person.
I asked them to look for fingerprints on the glasses and the bottles.
With a bit of luck, the guy is on file.
- Let's not forget the 3rd phone.
Next, what do we have? - Here.
Next, some guys break in through the service door of the kitchen.
They rush in there at the bar.
There were at least three of them, we have their footprints going everywhere.
- So they go through there, they rob Herville and the owner, and they probably go to the safe.
What does the safe tell us? - It wasn't forced.
The owner must have given up the combination.
The clock indicates that it was opened at 11:12 PM.
- Actually, it's just a pathetic robbery that went wrong.
There were two gun shots.
What does that tell us? - Nothing.
Last night, the neighborhood was all fired up.
It was the final of the women's volleyball championship in China.
The Chinese celebrated it.
The match ended at 11:30 PM.
A lot of craziness, people everywhere.
- What the hell was the boss doing here? - I don't know, maybe he was a regular? Does he have a wife or someone who could tell us? - He's been divorced for a long time.
His wife and daughter live in Montreal, I think.
I'm going to see his deputy.
- There's something I don't get.
The guy he was drinking with, who left his phone, he disappeared into the night? - He was able to escape or he's the killer or an accomplice.
Well, we can't exclude anything.
Tom, get all the pictures of the area and get the call logs for the cell phones of Herville, the owner and the 3rd phone.
- I'm on it.
- Escoffier.
We should let Commander Berthaud know, shouldn't we? We can't let her find out about it from the TV.
OK.
I thought it would be better coming from you, but I understand.
I'll take care of it.
- I'll do it.
I'll do it.
- Us cops, we're in the front line.
We take society's violence full in the face.
For years, I waded through that shit, told myself that it didn't affect me.
It overwhelmed me.
One morning, I couldn't get up.
I couldn't take it anymore.
- Do you know why you snapped at that time? No special event? You can't think of anything? - I have I have a little girl.
She was born premature.
I had to prepare myself I had to accept that she could And then it's arranged for her to leave the hospital.
We went to get her Everything was fine.
But I I was surrounded by love, but I was too anxious.
I was crushed.
Inside.
And I couldn't I screwed everything up.
- What do you mean? - I fled.
- Thank you, Laure.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Someone else? Jacques? Would you like to share? No? Stephanie? Not you either? Martin? - They seem friendly, your new colleagues.
- Yeah.
Whenever I see them, I tell myself that I'm not doing so bad.
It's weird that you came today.
You know I managed to talk about what happened for the first time today.
It's crazy, right? - Listen I don't know how to tell you this Herville is dead.
We found him in a restaurant in district 13, with a bullet in his head.
I don't know what happened.
We think it's a robbery gone wrong.
I don't know anything else yet.
- It's not possible, I spoke to him on Friday.
- I promise I'll sort it out, this case.
I won't let anything get by me.
I have to go.
I'll let you know.
- Oh shit! Damn, fuck! Watch out! - But I'm not well! - Damn, it's fucked! - I can't take it anymore.
- Wait, wait! Watch out.
Shit! You're killing me.
Come here.
Come on, I'm going to splash some water on your face.
Let me help you.
Gives me the shits.
Come on, come with me.
Come on, I tell you! Let's go Lean on the wall.
You're going to hurt yourself.
- Here.
It will pass.
Let's go.
- Exercise! What's going on? - I can't take anymore of her withdrawal.
She doesn't have enough Subutex.
- There's no doctor's appointment for two weeks.
- Can't we bring her appointment forward? - What do you think? The exercise will do her good.
Let's go! Still nothing? - No.
- I took everything: his files, his computer.
There you go, a souvenir.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- The Commissioner received a call from a prepaid mobile phone.
We found the phone on a table at the Chinese restaurant.
Do you know who it belongs to? - Here.
Was he working on any big cases? - You know, it's district 93, but there's no organized crime.
I can't imagine who would want to attack him.
- Richard, close the boot.
- In the last fortnight, we have logged several calls from this phone.
Apparently, it was only used to contact the Commissioner.
- It's true that he seemed preoccupied recently.
I asked him, but in vain.
- A problem with an informer? - I don't know.
- We'll put all this in writing.
Nico, take the box from Commander Dujol.
JP, can you take his statement? - I spotted a car on the surveillance cameras.
Do you want to take look? - Yes, thanks.
- Are you coming, Gilou? - On my way.
Put it there.
- We are 2 minutes from the restaurant.
That's the Clio.
There are three of them: two in front and one behind, with his arm out the window.
The picture was taken at 11:17 PM, which is 5 minutes after the safe was opened.
Does that fit? - Go forward a little.
Oh shit, we don't have the plates.
- Go back.
Zoom in.
Dark jacket, big red stripe.
It's identifiable.
- It's a bit feeble as a clue.
- Wait, stop! Stop.
Stop.
Excuse me.
Zoom in on the front door.
It's dented.
It may be stolen.
Start a search.
- Without license plates, there's going to be a lot.
- I don't think so.
No.
Statistics say on average 2 Clios are stolen every week in Ile-de-France.
- OK.
What do you do after work? You go home, turn out the lights and read the statistics? I can see that you attended officer training class.
- I finished first in the class! Are you starting the search or what? - I would have preferred to see you again under different circumstances.
- Yes - Do you have two minutes? - Yeah.
- Have you moved offices? - Building A is undergoing asbestos removal.
Come in.
- You are leading the investigation, but where is Commander Berthaud? - She has been on sick leave for a few weeks.
Depression.
- Oh I thought she was indestructible.
- Me too.
What brings you here, Your Honour? - I want the Herville case.
The prosecutor's office is reluctant, so if you could keep me informed, I will arrange to be on duty on the day the case is assigned.
I was very fond of Commissioner Herville.
He was a pain at first, always ready to challenge the authority of the magistrates.
and his opinions often lacked subtlety, but all of that made him an excellent policeman.
- Excuse me.
Yes? - We have a burned out Clio at Argenteuil.
It was burned last night.
- All right, I'm on my way.
I will keep you informed, you can count on me.
- Thank you.
- I'll call you before I report to the prosecutor's office.
You're welcome.
- Have a good day.
- Participation in activities is important.
- OK.
- Can I talk to you? - Yes, of course.
Come in.
- I don't need long.
- Have a seat.
I'm listening.
- I want to go back to work.
- That seems very premature to me.
- Why? I'm sleeping much better.
I've gained 2 Kg since my arrival.
And I'm running every morning, 5 Km.
- That's great, it tells me that we're on the right path.
But, do you remember that we signed a care agreement together with a time frame.
You are committed.
- To myself.
- You daughter is also part of the deal.
We had made good progress, you were ready to see her again.
We had even booked the family space, I believe.
Wait Yes, in 2 weeks.
- I'll call her father and see her at his place.
I am sure he will be OK with that.
- I would have preferred a more structured reunion.
- The family environment is good.
- Depression consists of highs and lows.
Now, you are up, but in a few days, you will be down.
If you are alone at that moment, it will be complicated.
Is someone waiting for you outside? - Yes.
You can't force me to stay.
I'm free.
- I will write you a prescription for one month.
We finally found the right medication for you.
It's important that you don't stop this treatment.
A colleague will keep an eye on you.
You can't deal with this alone.
Let us help you.
- It's a Clio.
It's well and truly torched.
Take a little picture from here.
The rear plate is gone.
At the front too.
- Here, look.
It's dented just like in the video.
- Hey, what are you doing here? That's right, stop! Get out! - Take a picture of that.
We have a welcoming committee.
- What are you doing here? - Are you deaf, or what? - Take a look in the boot, see if there's anything there.
- No, nothing.
They're excitable, aren't they? - We're not hanging around.
Take some photos.
- Piss off! - Get the serial number, Tom will identify it.
Got it? - Yeah.
- Bugger off! - Oh! Take it easy! Yeah, Tom, can you identify a Clio that we found burned out? VF34 C9HP 0BY015422.
- They're coming.
- Hey, come on! - Keep your distance! - Come on, Gilou.
- Hurry up! - Go on, back off! - Come on, Gilou.
- Thanks, Tom.
- Fuck! Fucking piece of shit motor! - Clutch.
- Fuck! - They're a bit lively round here.
Tell the pound to tow the carcass.
We'll send it to Forensics.
The Clio belongs to an education centre for juvenile delinquents.
- Some kid stole it to do the robbery? - I don't know.
It's in district 19.
- Hello.
I'll take your card.
Thank you.
Come with me.
- I've been waiting for you for 30 minutes.
You know how to play hard to get.
- So where are we now with this? Do you have any news regarding the judge? Is she back from sick leave? - No, but she has left on maternity leave.
The good news is that the file was forwarded to a new judge, so we can move forward.
- Who is it? - Wagner.
- Oh no, fuck! He hates me! He is super detail-oriented, He will go through my file with a fine toothcomb, I'll never be summoned! - I'll keep on him.
It'll take 3 to 4 weeks.
- 3 to 4 weeks? Do you know what my life is like in here? I can't leave my cell to take exercise anymore because of the racketeering, I live 24x7 in 12 square meters with a cell mate who suffers from withdrawal and keeps me up all night.
- I know - No, you don't know! Did you ever have to take a shit in front of someone, well did you? - I'll get you out of here.
- You've been saying that for the last 3 months, come back when you've got something new.
Guard! - Josephine! Josephine! - Guard! - The service vehicle that was stolen, what was the make? - A Clio.
- What color? - Blue.
Dark blue.
- Do you have any idea who could have done this? - No, I don't know.
I just saw that the keys weren't there any more.
- On the board, there? - Yes.
- Have you lodged a complaint? - No, I didn't have time.
It stresses the kids out to see cops.
- No.
I won't calm down.
I'm not doing what the judge says! Green spaces are out of the question! The trees make me anxious.
And, frankly, I'm not cut out to push a wheelbarrow.
He pisses me off this judge! - I need the list of young people who were here the day before yesterday.
- Are you going to question them? - Mmm-mmm.
- I'm here to help them, not to hand them over to the police.
- What happened to the door? - An altercation with a young person that I am taking care of.
- He was very upset.
- He doesn't respect the demands of his legal supervision, I threatened to report him to the judge, he got angry.
Yes, these things happen.
- Perhaps it was him who nicked your keys to piss you off.
This is a very serious matter.
He's bad news, this kid.
Two people are dead.
- What are you saying? - What's his name? - Miss, we need an answer.
- His name is Rayan.
Rayan Khelfa.
- There you go.
Thank you.
Khelfa, 12th floor.
Hello.
Police.
Are you Rayan's mother? - Yes.
What has he done? - Is he here? - Hello.
- What has he done? - Hello.
- Hello, I'm his brother.
What do you want with him? - We want to see Rayan.
Is he here? - Rayan! - Are you Rayan? You're coming with us.
We need to talk to you.
Oh, oh, oh! Come here! Where are you going? Come here! - Let me go! - Come here, for Christ's sake! - Let me go! Let me go, damn it! - That's enough already.
- Don't hurt him! You haven't even said what you want from him? Let me go! - You have une commission rogatoire? - Don't worry.
- Let me go, you bastards! Wallah, let me go, I haven't done anything! - Here.
- What is it? - Rayan Khelfa, you are being placed in custody at 3:53 PM for armed robbery and murder.
- Mum - You have the right to remain silent, to be seen by a doctor and to have a lawyer.
- I didn't do anything.
Akallah, I didn't do anything! I swear.
- What connects the theft of the car to the double murder? What proof is there that this kid was at the Chinese restaurant? - The call logs from his phone have given us nothing.
His cell phone was off all evening.
- We have to break him, otherwise we've got nothing.
Come on Let's pick up from where we left off.
So You don't know the restaurant.
The robbery isn't you.
The car theft isn't you either.
- Use the polite "You", Commander.
"The theft isn't you".
- It's weird, your teacher says that you stole the car.
- "That you stole.
" - Please don't interrupt.
- Please don't address my client informally.
- Does that makes you laugh? Look at this.
Does that make you laugh too? - What is this bullshit? - I would like to talk to him.
- You have already had the opportunity.
- You know there are cameras everywhere in Paris? That means we saw you with your friends in a Clio in district 13, right next to the restaurant, 5 minutes after the robbery.
- I didn't kill anyone! OK, the car, that's me.
I stole it from my teacher, because We had a disagreement.
But I didn't kill anyone! - What did you do with the car? - I went joy riding to let off steam.
Afterwards, after I calmed down, I left it in a street with the keys inside.
- Which street? What time? - I don't know! You ask too many questions! It was near my neighborhood, in the evening.
- So you park the motor, and you piss off, some guy comes by, takes the car and goes and commits a robbery.
Is that it? Do you think we're stupid?! Do you think we're stupid?! Yes, Your Honour.
It's Commander Escoffier.
We have a suspect.
The prosecutor's office will want to clear it, he's a minor, he's 15 years old.
- 15 years old? Do you think he was involved in the robbery? - He has admitted the car theft.
He didn't say anything else.
- I guess he wasn't alone.
- Thank you for letting me know.
I will arrange to be on duty tomorrow.
- OK.
Good evening, Your Honour.
- Goodbye.
- Very good, thank you.
We have a problem.
The Herville case was entrusted to Judge Vargas.
He too is on duty.
- What? - The Vice President spoke with the prosecutor this morning.
- You must not get involved in the assignment of cases.
It is a founding principle of the independence of justice.
- We are in agreement.
That's precisely what I reminded you of yesterday.
- Don't tell me that this assignment is due to chance.
I know you talked to the Vice President this morning, following which, Judge Vargas got the case.
- Effectively, The Vice-President intervened, but his decision was driven by important objective considerations.
- What are you talking about? - You should have received a letter.
Your Honour, you will be retiring in three months.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
- At this pace, you will run the marathon in less than 3 hours.
- The best thing is, if I don't run for a couple of days, I miss it.
- You've become a real athlete.
- Shit, I've hit rock bottom! - A little vegan salad and it would be perfect.
- Maybe a small beer! I'll be right with you.
- OK.
Hello.
- Hello - Are you OK? - Did you get back into sports? - Yes, I have a new coach.
Ali, my second-in-command.
Laure, the former team leader.
- Hi.
- Hi, how are you? - Guys, we debrief in 5 minutes? - Do have have 2 minutes to talk? - Of course.
- Is this your new office? - Yes.
- They didn't mess around! - What are you doing here? - I want to get back on the team.
- Didn't you ask for a transfer? - Yes, but it was suspended because of my sick leave.
- You're not on leave any more? - Well, no.
You see, I saw the doctor and he agreed that I should return to work.
Frankly, I feel like I'm ready.
- You know, it was difficult for me to turn the page.
I'm starting to get there.
But for you to come back to work now, with us, I don't think so.
- Gilou, it's Herville.
You think I can stay away? - It's a simple investigation.
A robbery that went wrong with a 15 year old kid who won't hesitate to shop his accomplices.
- You told me that Herville had a meeting in a restaurant, and at the same time, there's a robbery.
Do you believe it's by chance? - You would have handled it differently, but it's me who is leading this investigation.
- Can you remove the cuffs? Thank you.
No, that's OK, it's good.
- Sure? - Yes.
- Your Honour.
- Attorney.
- Excuse me, can I speak to you? You have seen that the suspect is a minor? - That did not escape my notice.
- I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but you know that you need special clearance to question a minor? Do you have it? - No, but that doesn't prevent me from conducting a preliminary examination of this young man.
- Quite.
But being the only judge on duty today to have this clearance, this case will eventually come back to me.
It will save time.
Young man, you are here in connection with charges of armed robbery and murder.
To be clear, you are accused of participating in a robbery followed by a double murder.
At the end of this interview, I will decide whether or not you should be indicted.
Look at me when I am speaking to you.
- Why isn't it my usual judge? He wants to pin the death of a cop on me.
- We know you were present at the time of the double murder.
- The cops have got me mixed up, it wasn't me who did that.
- If it wasn't you, then who did it? - I don't know anything about it! Hey, sir, I swear to you, I've never seen these guys.
- Please.
If you will permit me, Your Honour - No, no.
Excuse me, Attorney.
I'm listening.
- Well, actually, It started with a disagreement with my teacher, because It's a long story.
So, I took her car.
Well, I stole it.
I met up with my friends in Argenteuil.
- Didier, please.
Sorry.
- I'm Rayan's mother.
You summoned me.
- Madam, please.
First I am going to talk to your son then with you.
- I have a job, I can't wait.
- You will wait, like everyone else.
It concerns your son.
- So what? I can't help it if he screws up! I don't understand anything with this kid! He has his father's bad genes.
He is rotten.
- leave.
- I don't have the time! - Sit down.
- No.
Mom, please! - You need to leave! - Hey, speak nicely! Don't you understand French? - Sit down.
- What's your problem? Don't speak like that! You're nobody! Huh? Do you understand what I am saying? - Please.
- You come here, you tell me I don't know what! - Calm down! Calm down, spread your legs! - Let go of me! - Spread your legs! - Let go of me! Who do you think you are? - Calm down! - Take him to the holding cell, please.
- Director.
- Ah, Mrs.
Karlsson! Coffee? - Thank you.
- Please sit down.
I'm listening.
- I would like a solitary cell.
I just learned from my lawyer that I'm going to be here for a while longer.
I'm telling you, I won't make it.
- Mmm.
I'm sorry, but with the current level of occupancy, It's just not possible.
- Then change my cell.
Living with my cell mate is unbearable.
You haven't heard anything from me in 3 months, surely you can arrange that for me.
- Mrs Corinne Siboni? - Yes that's her.
- How is her drug use? - She's being weaned off drugs.
- I recognize the lawyer's evasiveness.
Let me rephrase my question more clearly: is she continuing to use drugs? Not very engaging as an answer.
If you don't give me anything, it's going to be hard.
Yes or no? - Yes, when she has some.
- That's not news for me, I know that drugs are in use here.
I want to know who is managing this traffic.
That's where I need you.
- You want me to snitch? - Spoken like a true criminal.
I'm talking about mutual help.
You wanted mine, right? - It won't be necessary.
- Commander Berthaud! Hello.
- Hello.
- Laure! I'm pleased to see you again.
- Me too.
You look well.
So, will you be leading the case? I went to the police station this morning, I saw some colleagues.
- Will you return to work? - It's It's a little complicated.
- I know what you are going through.
Escoffier told me briefly.
- So? Young Rayan, what have we got? - I was this close to him confessing his involvement in the robbery, and then Otherwise, I could only charge him with the car theft.
- Do you believe that a 15 year old could commit a double murder? - He could have been involved.
It's difficult to commit a robbery alone.
In any case, as it stands, we are missing some key pieces.
We don't have the results of the forensic analysis of the crime scene, we found the car used in the robbery, but it's completely burned out.
Escoffier has sent it to the pound.
- Forensics found nothing? - They have not worked on it yet.
- They pulled the kid in too soon.
They pulled him in way too soon.
They should have conducted a surveillance operation.
- You never give up, do you? Take care of yourself.
It's serious, the warning you got.
- Hey, girls! Look who's coming! - Did you miss us? - Nice coat.
- Can I talk to you? - What do you want? You turn up like that.
You've got a nerve! - What do you want from Lola? - Leave her alone.
- We were just starting to have some fun! - Clear off! Clear off! - Come on, she wants her to herself.
We know what gypsies are like.
It's OK.
Stop.
Pass the ball! - Well? What do you want? - Subutex.
It's for Corinne.
- I don't have any.
But I've got some weed.
It will calm her down.
- How much? - Do you think that money is enough? Don't worry, it's a gift.
You'll have it tonight.
That way, you'll sleep well.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Commander Berthaud, District 2 Judicary Police.
I'm looking for a burned-out Clio that came in the day before yesterday.
- We'll take care of you.
- That's it, this one.
- Do you need any help? - I'm good.
Hello.
- Hello.
- I meed to speak to the manager.
- Of course.
Max, please.
- Yes? Hello.
- Hello, sir.
I need to see the security camera video.
Is that possible? - No problem.
I'll be right with you.
- March 7th.
- Let's start with "March", The 7th - At 10:19 PM.
- Here you go.
- Can you speed up a bit? - Fast forward.
- I want to know who pays at 10:19 PM.
- Yes - There! It's him! - Should I freeze it? - It's him.
If he turns around, freeze the picture.
Go on, show me your face.
That's good, right there, stop! Can you zoom in? - OK, that's it.
- Perfect.
Here's a USB stick.
Can you transfer the file? - There you go.
His name is Jimmy Meyer, 19 years old, well known to the Argenteuil Serious Crimes department.
He already has a quite a police record.
Violent robberies and 6 months ago, he was indicted for the robbery of an apartment at Epinay, then released for lack of evidence.
- But you didn't follow due process, we can't put anything on the record.
- Hang on Without me, you would have missed this lead.
Everything is here.
The Serious Crimes department gave me his number.
You just have to plug in in.
- I know you want to come back.
You don't need to prove that you are a good cop.
The problem is Escoffier.
- Gilou stays as team leader.
I was thinking of a position working for you.
I would be there in support of the investigation.
- Since he's been the leader, he's been fully committed.
He's trained his second-in-command, we have a good team dynamic.
I do not want to break that.
Believe me, I'm sorry.
- We didn't follow due process, so we can't put anything on the record, but it's interesting.
I called all the youth centres.
Antony has no room, neither does Evry.
Noisy may have a room in a fortnight, but it's not certain.
- All the educational centers in Ile-de-France are full? - There's one place left at La Creuse, but I'm against taking him away from his home.
- Why? - Rayan has a complicated family situation.
His father left when he was born.
But his brother, Fouad, is serious.
I've been hearing good things about him for a while.
I really think that he can help Rayan to sort himself out.
- Yes, but, right now, it's not working out amazingly well.
- He's only 15 years old, he's not a lost cause yet.
Don't cast him adrift.
It would be disastrous for him.
If I understand correctly, you don't know for sure that he was involved in the robbery.
- Yes, OK I will see.
Thank you.
What are we going to do with you? - Strict legal supervision seems appropriate to me.
- Madam, that would mean him returning home.
How do you see things? - I don't know I work in a bar, I have a complicated schedule.
Last year, when he was in the youth centre, he was fine.
- What? What? What? Go to the youth centre? No, no, no.
I swear, I'm not going back, I'm done! Your Honour, That's it, it's over.
I'll stop the nonsense and everything.
I'll start on the right path.
You know, mom, when you're not there, Fouad is at home.
I'm not by myself.
- Listen, you will return home.
But don't forget that you have been indicted in a very serious case.
You must remain at the disposition of the court for the rest of the investigation.
That means that, as soon as I summon you, you must come here.
Otherwise, the police will come and get you.
I am accompanying your legal supervision with very strict requirements, including the requirement to attend meetings scheduled by your teacher.
I am counting on you to respect all of these measures in full.
- Good evening, ladies.
Meal time.
- Good evening.
- Enjoy your meal.
- Good evening.
- Enjoy your meal.
- Come on, my beauty, we're here.
There you go, my beauty.
We put the little blanket there.
Yes, my beauty.
There you go! There you go, look.
Yes.
You see? - You haven't located the mobile phone yet? - No.
- Where did the info on Meyer come from? - Laure.
Laure Berthaud.
- Is she investigating our case? - Yes, why? At least we are making progress.
He has the right profile.
- OK, I've got him! District 20, Porte de Lilas.
He's really moving.
- He's on wheels.
Let's go, let's get moving! Tom and Nico, where are you? - Flanders Avenue.
- We're arriving at Tanger Street.
The signal hasn't moved for more than 20 minutes, sweep the area.
- OK, received.
- It's not them, is it? Look, look, it's him, there.
It's them? - We've got them, in front of a minimart, Morocco Square.
We'll park on the other side.
Tom, try to park on Morocco Street, near the grocery store.
- OK, we're nearly there.
- Look at this car.
Chatting, chatting.
- We're in position, Gilou.
- Good, I see you.
- Chatting, huh! - Fuck, it can't be, it's that little prick Rayan! - Fuck, he really made fools out of us.
- Who are these guys? Take their picture, all four.
- Where's my cash? My money! - What money? - What do you mean, "what money"? - I don't have your money.
- Are you kidding me? - I don't have your money! - Where the fuck is it? - Calm down, calm down, calm down! - Oh, oh, oh! Bloody hell fire! Wow! Fuck, he's going to kill him! Rayan's out of here.
OK! Arrest them! Arrest them! Police! Police! - Let's get out of here! - Get the plate! Sir! Sir! - Did you get it? - Yeah, we got it.
- Commandant Escoffier, 2e DJP.
On a un blessé place du Maroc.
No, it's fine, thank you.
- As you wish.
The body has evidence of a hematoma on the right side of the abdomen, which leads me to believe that a cylindrical object similar to a baseball bat was used.
The blow was violent and could have resulted in a fall who would explain this other hematoma close to the temple.
Howver, this is not the cause of death.
The victim was killed by a bullet.
There is an entry wound in the forehead area and an exit wound at the back of the skull.
- We found a 9mm bullet.
- That would be consistent with my observations.
The bullet was fired at close range.
- Can she come in? - Of course.
(- Come in.
Come in.
) - Hello.
- Hello.
- We'll solve the case together.
