Astrid et Raphaëlle

Sorry sir, but for withdrawals over 8 000 euros

you need to ask in advance

8 000 euros, now.

One moment.

Hello, Mr. Lenoir I'm sorry, Mrs. Couton is new.

You wanted to do a withdrawal, is that right?

8 000 euros, now.

Very well, Mr. Lenoir.

Goodbye, Mr. Lenoir.

Miss?

Yes?

I don't usually do this but, I think you're lovely.

Wanna get a coffee?

Yes.

I have one minute. Then I will be late.

But I avoid coffee, you should as well.

Roasting creates acrylamide,

a substance WHO classifies as carcinogenic.

Woah, you talk like a book.

Books don't talk.

30 seconds.

You're funny.

Do you have a number?

Number?

Your phone number? What's your deal?

But the chance of me picking up is small

because I never pick up unregistered numbers.

There, done.

Good day, sir.

Hey, wait. I didn't write it.

You thought she'd give you her number? Sir!

She called him sir!

She called you sir!

Did she called you anything?

Lionel Lenoir killed himself.

Why don't you get me on traffic duty too?

There's an investigation when the death is suspicious.

A man setting himself on fire with gasoline is a suspicious death.

But it's a suicide!

You could send someone else! That's harsh.

He was inventive. He could have thrown himself under the metro.

You know what I mean. Listen, Coste.

Try to behave and I may be able to get you out of trouble.

Next time, think before messing up.

I was this close to catching this guy.

That guy was from the European Parliament!

Custody without notice, a public arrest at the Department.

Hell, Raphaëlle! Did you think that was ok?

If I'd found what I was after, then it would have. But you didn't.

I'm not done! Yes, you are.

Your report on my desk.

Tomorrow morning.

Go!

Can we see the victim better on other videos?

No, CCTV covers parking spots, not pedestrian areas.

I can tell you he was alone parking his car and coming back.

You can check.

That's you?

Yeah, I saw everything on the screens.

I went as fast as I could, but it was too late.

Nothing is ever what it seems.

What do you mean?

A guy like him. Good suit, good car. Who could have thought he'd do something like that.

Transfer the footage to the criminal police?

Can't tell me I didn't do my job.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Is that Mrs. Lenoir?

Yes.

Can I?

Hello, Mrs. Lenoir.

I'm Commander Coste.

I'm sorry about your husband.

Very professional, as usual.

Well, seems to calm her down.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Everything was fine.

Our son is getting married this summer.

Lionel loves his daughter-in-law.

He had plans for his clinic.

I don't understand.

Did he do anything suspicious lately?

Changed his behavior?

No. Everything was fine.

We spent Sunday looking at ads.

We were looking for a pied-à-terre by the sea.

Well... There's something but...

No, it's nothing. It's stupid.

Tell me?

He withdrew money. A lot of money.

Hey, didn't you investigate the death of a guy in a hotel room 2 years ago?

Uh... Yes, at Hôtel de Dunkerque, near Gare du Nord.

Denis Nedry. A doctor who cut his veins in his bath.

Found by the housekeeper, in a pool of his own blood.

Like David's Death of Marat.

You sure it was a suicide? Not really.

I closed the case because I was working on something else.

Do you want a coffee?

Of course I checked.

It was locked from inside.

And no one came into the room until the body was found.

I checked on the hotel CCTV.

Something about money withdrawal too, right? Yes.

He withdrew 5 000 euros in cash the day before.

It vanished.

It didn't seem that strange to you?

Really?

Look...

My suicide withdrew 8 000 euros before pulling a Joan of Arc.

And we didn't find a cent. So there's some similarity between the cases, right?

Be careful, Raph. What?

You'll make enemies again.

When you hear hoofbeats,

there's more chance of them being horses than zebras.

Please spare me quotes from Dr. House. I'm not in the mood.

No, Dr. Theodore Woodward told that to his students at University of Maryland in the 40s.

Don't know him.

Anyway, if there's stripes to be found you can count on me to find them.

Yeah, I trust you.

And uh... who's Dr. House?

Hello. Thanks.

Hello. The files you asked for, Commander.

Oh! I didn't think there'd be that many.

The 983 official reports of the procedure.

Alright...

Alain Grant?

Wait! There's been a mistake!

Miss?

Another doctor who committed suicide.

Sorry. I was handed a file I didn't ask for.

Sorry, Commander. We'll take it back.

No, I didn't ask for it but I'd like to take it.

If you didn't ask, you need to put in a request, Ma'am.

Criminal Documentation is a police department, not a library.

Ah, well, I'm police.

I know. But it's not about that.

There are procedures.

Wait! Could I speak to the girl who brought me the file, at least?

That's not a good idea.

Miss Astrid Nielsen.

How many times do I need to tell you to bring only what people ask for?

Put this where it belongs and stop being so original.

Astrid, right?

Don't be scared!

I'm not scared. I know who you are.

You're a police detective. I have no logical reason to be scared.

I just wanted to see-I ask that you don't touch anything

because here rules a complex order incompatible with your untidiness.

Thank you.

Alright...

My reputation followed me to the Doc. Martineau told you that?

No, it's not Martineau.

It's your reports. They're always strangely structured and full of errors.

I have a hard time making sense of your cases.

You know a lot of my cases?

In July of 2016, you investigated the murder in Bois de Boulogne.

From March to August 2017, the Lebrac case,

the next 4 months, the robbery of the Louvres,

- and recently you put a European deputy in custody for- - Yes, OK.

- I get it, thanks. - I'm not done.

I asked for the file on Denis Nedry's suicide and you gave me one on Alain Grant too.

Why?

He was a child psychiatrist, found hanged in his office.

I know the case.

Yes, well, all of France knows about it.

The press talked about it non-stop for weeks.

No break in but 7 000 euros gone.

I wouldn't have made the connection but now we can't ignore the similarity between the other two cases.

Three cases.

- The file, not on the table. - Yes, sorry.

I'm investigating a suicide.

A guy who set himself on fire in a parking lot this morning, in the middle of downtown.

A doctor, like Nedry and Grant,

and each time, money that disappears without filed complaints.

Grant's file came out on its own when I saw you asked for the file on the suicide at the hotel.

- There is a body of consistent evidence between both cases. - Oh, why?

What is this?

You can't be here. Get out before I call security.

- Oh, security? - Yes, security.

And you... I'll write a note.

I know the director loves you but it won't always save you, Miss Nielsen.

Commander.

Hey, you shouldn't let him talk to you like that.

You probably found something that the best cops of the city missed!

- Commander! - Yes, coming...

You always have another umbrella.

Always.

If it rains, and the first one doesn't work.

You never know.

Laplace came to see me.

What did you tell this cop?

- There is a body of consistent evidence. - Consistent?

- Between both cases. - Yes, I know.

But you can't go through these files. They're criminal cases.

You'll get in trouble one day.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you.

You don't always know your limits.

Don't forget what happened last time.

I had a panic attack on the street.
