Where are we?

Fuck, it's the same sign.

This really blows.

Think I'm a fool? So...

RELAY 88

Whatever.

So...

What does this say?

Not working.

I don't understand anything, it's worse than the trail!

Hunters around here, further north.

No hunting!

RELUCTANT HERO

COME ON... SHIT! HO-OH!

HEY, ANYBODY THERE?

Hey ladies, what's the shape of things?

"WHOA," YOU WANNA DIE? GET THE FUCK BACK!

HELP ME, GET UP TO THE SKIDDER!

Why isn't there anyone else?

YOU DON'T HAVE EYES? GO TO THE SKIDDER!

PULL ON THE FUCKING CABLE!

HELL, PULL THE CABLE OR GO FUCK YOURSELF!

I'll go. - COME ON!

So stupid.

Don't want to ruin your day of glory. Anyway, enjoy it.

You'll be late.

I was asked to pick you up.

No, you don't need to thank me.

Don't usually see many of those in the Vosges.* * N.E. FRANCE

Alright?

What's happening? You alright?

No no no, it's not good at all, look. Look!

He scratched himself!

Yeah, anyway, I gotta go.

DOMFAING* - SINCE 1956 VALLEY SAWMILL * VILLAGE IN VOSGES

Serge, as mayor of Domfaing,

I award you our Medal of Honor,

for everything you've done against the cutbacks...

...during the economic recession...

...and rural population loss.

He managed to save the village,

relaunching the sawmill, thus making his mark.

Thank you, Luc. And thank you, everyone.

Without you I couldn't have done anything, so...

this medal is yours too. That's all.

Yes, I want to give back to the local Indiens from my time in Guyana.

Be generous!

WITHHELD NUMBER - NICE SPEECH BUT SOON WE WILL KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE

My love!

Hey; let's go eat.

25TH BIG EAST GENDARMERIE RACE FINISH

Hey!

- Yeah? - Where are all the others who came in?

It's been a while. I had two daughters in the race, you're way late.

Huh? - You hurt?

Yeah, my pride.

Can you take me to Colmar Gendarmerie? - You want to see a doctor?

I'll show you my credit card. Let's go, hup!

Full speed ahead!

Come on.

Cyril!

Stop that bullshit, you crazy or what?

How far you gonna go? Stop it!

As always, this crazy fool is going to kill someone!

- He's never been that bad. - No, but I could call the Labor Inspectorate.

Go ahead! Asshole!

- Big jerk. - Yes...

Yeah...

Fuck, you gotta stop boozing.

You forgot to pick me up this afternoon.

Shit, I'm sorry.

That was bad, I had enough- - Alright, get going.

Where are you? Still at the factory?

I can't talk.

I- I'm coming. I'm coming.

Oof.

And took 20 minutes to count about 20 cases.

No, I wanted to check the wine.

I found more of the jeroboam* of Sauternes * 3-4.5 LITRE BOTTLE

that my father provided for the wedding. * 3-4.5 LITRE BOTTLE

The wedding is in three weeks. - Yes... (three weeks).

Did I upset you? - No.

If you're upset...

Look at you.

'I see a terrible old man in his 50s' face, you're in a bad mood.

Yeah, that's it, I love Mr. Fifties,

I'm very emotional.

It's okay.

It's 'okay, ' but thanks to that

I just want to please you that first night.

And until July 14?

You'll stop looking at me like that?

You're going to wear me down?

Turn it off!

Damn. It's security.

Serge?!

Wow.

This is getting nowhere fast, smells like sausage.

Tauzin, quartermaster. It was I who called you.

So, the victim is Cyril Duprat.

The body is still in the crime scene.

Is it a crime scene or a fire scene?

The fire was started in two places, an arson.

That makes the death a homicide.

Yeah?

What we have gives the impression of two starting points of the fire.

I just told you that. - See, I was right.

I could even tell you

at first sight it feels like homicide...

I told you that too.

Yeah, it's not a stretch.

Hooo! This sucks!

Who're you, Barbecue Forensics?

No, I'm seeing if this is an accident case.

Marc Berard, village Health & Safety.

That's what I'm doing here. And you are?

A skeptic. Who became a captain in the Gendarmerie.

So what'd he die of, boredom?

No, asphyxiation from smoke... as you'd expect.

And the blow to the head?

There's indication of a blow to the head.

I saw that, yeah. Probably from falling.

'Probably from falling, ' he says. Have a look.

This is likely also where the fire started?

The weather's been extremely dry.

I'm waiting for the firefighters to determine that.

Well, as a professional Gendarme it's not the first time I've seen this.

My friend there is looking for anything weird. -

I don't see why.

I'll have you know, nothing's weird here.

This is a small village that doesn't have problems.

"Well, doctor," if you say that a village has no problems,

you're left with a boring village!

A comic Gendarme, are you?

Yes, 'my arm hurts when I do this'-

I've got stuff to do. Come on, push off.

Who's the guy everyone talks to?

Is he the boonies town cryer, or what?

Serge Duprat, owner of the sawmill,

he arrived first on the scene. The building was saved thanks to him.

He got here first?

I'm going to go talk to the bigwig.

Meantime, I dunno, look for clues on the victim, OK?

It so happens... he had no laptop in his place.

That's odd for a company director, right?

No laptop in his place?

That's odd for a company director, right?

It feels like you're repeating what I say. - Huh? What?

What am I looking at?

What do you see?

You had too much to drink?

You're knocked up? (Shit!)

Well no shit.

'No shit'? You've obviously missed the deadline for an abortion?

Well I'll tell you: the fun's over. You gonna work in the office now?

Out of the question! I'm 4 months and 20 days,

that leaves me another 10 weeks before I can't go into the field.

That's what happens with the evil of kids!

All the roosters in the Gendarmerie barnyard will try to steal your job.

We're already paid less!

Never have anything to do with kids.

You have children?

It'd be a plague for kids to look like me.

They wouldn't be great up here anyway.

Due to toxic fumes. - Well yeah.

You get used to them. - Well, well done.

A nice birthday present at least, I hope.

Another Greta Thunberg?

Let's kick it.

Sir? Gendarmerie.

So, you're the hero of the fires of hell... not of love, obviously.

I'm thinking that's not a compliment. You want to discuss the break-in?

'Break-in'? What break-in?

I dunno. I saw he took a beating,

the thief must've knocked him out, then set the fire to cover his tracks.

...! Yeah, so it was like that.

Thanks, Col. Mustard. - Huh?

There's a thing that doesn't fit though.

The stiff had on a big watch, worth a thousand clams.

It wasn't taken. Some thief.

Maybe it wasn't taken because they didn't need one.

Yeah... maybe.

So maybe he killed him not because he was after money,

that's why he didn't steal...

So a person not wanting a big 1,000-clam watch, someone...

like... a boss, for example.

Am I a suspect?

You, you the hero, Serge the legend... it's not incompatible.

I'm off.!

I want to ask something.

Is there anyone who can alibi you, please?

Well, Julia my fiancee. - There you go!

That's great as an alibi. It's original.

It doesn't work.

No, because fiancees, they're in love. So necessarily...

...they depart from the truth.

Irritating? Woooo!
