Maigret

Our daughter's missing.

Call Chief Inspector Maigret.

The girl you can't find.

You must be as bad a detective

as your father was at running an estate.

He and I grew up in the same village.

He wants to renew an old grudge.

Fumal has been receiving death threats.

I would like you to investigate them.

Fumal has an instinct for people's weaknesses.

Next time, be more careful.

Where are you going?

To find out who wants to kill a billionaire.

Better hurry.

Mass is in 15 minutes.

- Not out here. - Come on.

Yes?

I need something to eat.

Now?

Yes.

Then I'll wake Felix.

You too. Emails to write.

Yes, sir.

Hurry up!

Clean up and go.

Celine. Mm?

To that loser Roger Gaillardin.

The midnight deadline has passed.

My offer will now go down by five million euros

every 24 hours.

Sir?

Dr. Klein confirmed tomorrow morning.

You'll be there?

To see the heartbeat?

I would not miss it for the world.

Mm.

Mm.

Yes, Lucas. LUCAS: Are you near a TV, boss?

Do I have to be?

Yes, a reporter ambushed Layla's parents,

they're talking.

How worried are you for Layla?

Worried? W-well,

she's been missing for more than three days.

Do the police have any leads?

No, I mean,

they're working hard but it's just another job for them.

They're working hard but it's just another job for them.

For us, our whole world's been ripped apart. Our baby's gone.

What more would you like to see being done?

The police are doing the best they can,

but Layla's brought joy to so many people,

if anyone knows anything

or has seen anything,

please, just tell us, or tell the police.

Christ, we're going to be swamped.

Please call Chief Inspector Maigret

at the Police Judiciaire

or leave a message on our "Where Is Layla?"

Facebook page that we've set up,

and we'll pass on the message to the police.

We need your help.

Thank you.

I'll come in.

Janvier is already outside.

You still don't know what happened?

No.

Are you worried?

Yes.

The disappearance of influencer Layla Lyonnet

three days ago.

The police have no leads.

So the mystery deepens, as do the fears of her parents

and her thousands of fans.

Chief Inspector Maigret.

My boss wants to talk to you.

How did you know where I live?

If Monsieur Fumal wants someone,

he finds them.

Tell him to find his local police station and talk to them.

What was that about?

Layla fans.

Can I run a couple of them over?

Not today.

It's all over her Instagram,

where she goes to write poetry... in the Bois de Boulogne?

What idiot let them in here?

Don't just type, go there.

Yeah, just by the border.

I have your number. Thank you.

Someone saw Layla near the Spanish border last night.

Twentieth tip this morning.

Let it go to voice mail.

Lapointe, Cavre, over here... Torrence, you too.

We've got all we need.

Come here... he's gonna see you out.

Let's go through what we know so far.

Relationships outside the family?

No boyfriend,

no girlfriend, no close friends.

In her latest video she was advocating celibacy.

Oh, welcome to the club. That's a surprise.

What about relationships at work?

Same picture. She doesn't have any.

"Work" is just her and her phones.

Mum and dad handle the business side.

So unfortunately mum and dad are right:

she's been missing three days, we don't have a single lead.

No, we have dozens of leads.

By the end of the day, we're gonna have hundreds of leads.

We don't have the manpower to follow them all up.

She could be kidnapped, she could be murdered...

She could be kidnapped, she could be murdered...

Or she could be faking it.

Layla was a mid-range influencer with about 600,000 followers

but she was losing followers and sponsors.

Now, however, the "Where Is Layla?" Facebook page

her parents set up has had over a million hits.

So this is just a publicity stunt?

No, as far as we're concerned,

she's still a missing kid,

and we'll put everything we have into finding her.

Madame prosecutor, we've got no news as yet,

and the fact that Layla's parents have decided

I'm sorry, I'm not here about Layla.

Can you come with me, Chief Inspector?

Put all calls through to voicemail,

go through them at the end of the day.

Get back out there, go to all the places where Layla

was last seen, ask questions. We've done that.

Then we do it again!

What did she say? What was her appearance?

What was her mood?

Lapointe, look at the parents.

Uh... wh-What do you mean?

What do you mean "what do I mean"?

You're the one who suggested it might be a put-up job.

Look at them.

Minister. Chief Inspector Maigret.

Chief Inspector.

Give me two minutes.

I apologize for pulling you away from your work.

Mathilde says you have your hands full

with this influencer girl.

We do.

Monsieur Fumal called me.

He said he tried to talk to you this morning.

His driver did. Who is he?

The owner of Fumal. co, the retail billionaire.

Surely you've heard of him.

I'm not a big shopper.

Fumal has been receiving death threats.

I would like you to investigate them.

My unit doesn't investigate threats, Madame Minister.

If he gets killed,

then we'll investigate.

Maigret, this is not how you speak...

Mathilde. It's all right.

Fumal has many friends in the media.

If these threats turn out to be real, or God forbid,

are acted on, a vast amount

of government and police time

will have to be spent investigating them.

I'm asking you to nip that in the bud.

Find out what's going on.

Fumal is a bully.

Mathilde tells me you can't be bullied.

I'm asking you, as a personal favor,

go and see him.

I don't need to.

He's just showed up at my office.

Minister.

I'll deal with it.

Even scruffier than you used to be.

Fumal.

Ferdinand Fumal.

Correct.

Or, as you used to call me, Fatty Fumal, oink-oink.

Hm, the butcher's son from Saint-Fiacre,

and you, the estate manager's son.

Well, look at me now and...

look at you.

And, uh,

the girl you can't find.

Did the minister give you an earful?

She told me to speak to you.

Did she tell you who I was?

Some sort of businessman.

Some sort!

I have revolutionized food retail

in France, I have built an empire...

Getting death threats?

Yes. Messages.

"I'm going to cut you up."

"You're going to die."

You don't know who's sending them? No.

Does anyone bear you a grudge

right now? Roger Gaillardin.

I'm buying his business, and he hates me.

What, enough to want to kill you?
