Capitaine Marleau

Stop, stop, stop stop! Ease up, Erwan! You'll wear yourself out.

There. Come here. I'll show you.

We still have 5 days to go. Have you forgotten? Come on.

Watch.

Should I go?

No. Leave it. I'm going.

Yes?

Hello, Florence.

Do you recognize me?

Hold on, the thing- - Get out!

I saw your son. I'm a banker, I can help him.

I don't want to know. No, no, no.

- Please. - What're you doing here?

This is no good. I wanted to-

Stop bothering us. All right, all Get out! Get out! right, I'm going.

Go on! I'm sorry.

I can help you. - No. I want you to rest.

Go on, sit down. I'm done soon.

I promise, we won't be late.

Aren't you in the middle of a competition?

Can we talk? - Of course.

I need to borrow him for 5 minutes.

Are you OK Mom?

You've been contacted by a banker, right?

Yeah, how do you know?

To develop your space? - Yes.

He came to see me. - Why you?

It must stop there, Romain. Yes.

You must not see him again.

Are you kidding? This is unexpected.

I don't want you to see him again.

Can you tell me more, please?

2022 NEO-AQUITAINE ARTISTS SCULPTURE & GRAPHIC ARTS

So here it is.

Is it right, what you were looking for? - Magnificent. What a talent!

And what poetry. Are there others?

Florence Rougier, it's the only one.

I'll buy it from you.

It's already reserved.

How much to reserve?

I'm serious.

Captain. - Hi there. Where's the stiff?

Hey there!

Strange face.

Hello, Captain. Lt. Desprez. - I can see that.

I've been asked to assist you. I hope you had a good trip.

Better than some.

What's on the menu? - A fight gone wrong, apparently.

Apparently.

If you believe in appearances, I can tell you how that turns out.

"My god!"

Do you have witnesses? - It's not that simple.

Do you have witnesses, or not? - They don't agree.

Who are they? - Over there.

Yo! Captain Marleau. Did you see anything?

I saw someone running away from the car.

That's some witness. - Yes.

And how was this 'someone'?

He was going fast. - He?

She? They? Were they gendered?

He doesn't know. I saw nothing from up in the basket.

He was down below. Then...

He was looking the other way!

Captain, I'm sure of myself.

He always boasts to make himself look good.

It was 9:15. - No, 9:30.

9:15, 9:30... We don't know. Good.

Take their info. You're a little emo.

I'm getting a coffee. - Name?

Axel. - OK. Your number?

06... 12...

He had good tires. What a waste.

How are you, girls?

Hey, come and see!

His face. It's all gray.

Look! - See the bruises?

From a fight, he got injured, resulting in asphyxiation.

The pathologist has already been by?

Well no, I'm giving you my impressions, Captain.

Did you do medicine? - Two years, then I did philosophy.

Yeah. What else do you know, Inspector Aristotle?

We found no ID on him.

The car's part of a bank's motor pool.

I'm waiting to hear more.

What do we do, start a nation-wide search? En masse!

We've already searched in the hope of finding a phone.

You searched badly.

Don't you know the saying? - What saying?

The saying: 'The apple never falls far from the tree'?

Whatever.

Look:

The suspect may have dropped it. You have to send it to the lab.

You have no sense in your head!

For example. Watch:

"You take the hand of the dead body,

alright?"

"You take the finger... okay?"

"You put on the cellular, and: what happen?"

It's open.Presto.

"And you go to the mail, to... what you want, huh?"

Gendarmerie Nationale, Capt. Marleau!

Wait, don't come any closer. Put on a mask or safety glasses.

The chapka doesn't protect.

But the chapka protects you from bullshit.

Although not all the time.

How are you, Darth Vader?

Are you Florence Rougier?

Why? - For questions.

We're in the middle of a competition:

Best Blacksmith in France.

You don't say.

Yes, I see.

How are you, Tintin? Where's Snowy?

A blacksmith will likely win this year, right?

See this blade?

It needs to be 2 meters. It has to be done Sunday.

Sunday? No no no,

Sunday I'm at the swimming pool. It's about your phone.

My phone?

This morning! The one who called at 7:30. He's dead.

Only one person called me this morning. My brother.

Olivier, the son of my adoptive parents.

Condolences.

Well? How was it going with your dead brother?

Neither good nor bad.

We hadn't seen each other in centuries.

How many centuries?

At least 30 years.

Thirty years?

There was a big big "facherie" ??

If I had a hammer, I'd hit my brother.

Isn't it heavy for you? - No, It's all right.

I wasn't talking about the hammer.

It's odd.

She doesn't see her brother for 30 years,

he calls one morning, she doesn't answer.

You weren't curious?

Yeah... I'm in the middle of a competition.

Maybe he had some annoying shit,

since he died 2 hours later.

Maybe he was in danger, maybe he needed your help.

No no no, I don't think so. - Why?

Yes,

because of the big "vacherie" .

I've never been angry with my twin sister.

I must say, the DDASS separated us immediately.

I was adopted in a month.

She...

Me too. I was adopted at 7.

By Olivier's parents.

But I left at 19, pregnant.

Really? From what and from whom?

A classmate.

A classmate? Making a kid with a kid, that sucks.

I imagine there was a big blow-up. Weren't you afraid?

He was my first love. I forgot to be afraid.

We're stupid at that age. What'd your parents say?

They wanted me to give birth as X.

That's not nice.

Giving birth to David Guetta while taking E.

Not cool. - No.

What did you do?

I left and didn't go back.

And the famous great love?

What became of him?

He went to the United States.

What happened was, he didn't recognize her

but he didn't want what-

Hold on.

Erwan!

Erwan, come here! Wait.

Please. Stop striking.

Wait! Erwan!

Wait, hold on. Put it back in the fire.

What were you doing at 9 this morning?

I was prepping the forge.

Alone?

Erwan arrived at 11. We finished late last night.

As luck would have it.

I don't believe it.

(He has a hematoma on the right hip,

it looks like from a fall

that occurred more than 24 hours before death.)

You have a lead, I hope?

I need to know more about your son.

Good... then... come on. Let's not waste time.

Was he in a civil partnership? Married? - No.

He have kids?

No. But he didn't want any.

Well, neither do I.

And his adoptive sister. He didn't miss her?

- Florence. Does she know? - Is that a problem?

Why'd you kick out your adopted daughter...

not even 20, and knocked up?

It was she who didn't want us anymore. She was

already in an apprenticeship at the forge, but she...

brutally cut ties.

My wife took it very badly. - Yeah? Where is your wife?

She's been dead for a year.

It's better. Because
