-He will die.
He will die.
-Gregory?
-He will die.
-What is happening ?
-Dr. Foreman,
He will die.
-Who is that ?
-Lebel,
He will die.
-No.
Thierry is with him.
Go to bed.
Go on !
-He will die.
He will die.
-Thierry, is everything okay with Lebel?
- Yes, I am outside his door.
*Nothing to report.
-You can check ?
-I'll go now.
*Doctor, It's my card... I can't get in.
*Lebel!
Lebel, you ok?
He's not answering.
I went downstairs to get my card. -Me too.
-You received
mail from Alain Lamarck? No kidding ?
-Alain Lamarck wrote mystery novels
under the pseudonym of Erik Ernest. -Attention !
In the meantime, he moved on
to practical work and he killed. -Yes.
-He tells you to open an investigation on an accidental death.
You love puzzles
but this is too big. It's a trap.
-Ah!
-Have you already had a look ?
Astrid?
- Yes, I looked a little bit.
-The man who died
is called Clarence Lebel. There !
On September 5, 2011,
he murdered his boss,
suffocating him with a cushion.
-Why was he interned?
-3 psychiatric experts
agreed, saying
that he had acted under the influence of delusions.
He was found not responsible
then interned at the Esperito Santo Institute.
-Where he died of asphyxiation caused by laryngeal edema.
-Yes. -And what gives
Lamarck the right to question the findings of the incident?
-David Lerivage's autopsy report.
He broke a finger struggling.
The left thumb was broken.
However, in the article, it says that Clarence Lebel was found
with the same fractured finger - the left thumb.
-I see the idea.
Could it be revenge? -Raphaelle,
in an investigation, coincidences do not exist.
-Except that there is no investigation yet.
No prosecutor will open a judicial investigation
with so few elements.
-That being said, Clarence Lebel died in the hospital.
No family came forward. So his body is still lying
at the forensic institute.
RaphaГ«lle, at the IML.
- Fournier? -Yes.
-We should call him ? -Yes.
-Lebel, Lebel, Lebel...
Where did they put him?
Pa, pa, pa. 080... Lebel. Ah!
Lebel: laryngeal oedema.
He was only a step away from cooking.
I can not perform an internal
autopsy without official paperwork.
But the external inspection is a crucial step during which
the enlightened practitioner knows how to discover the criminal origins of death.
-If it is of criminal origin.
-Where do we start,
Miss Nielsen? -The left thumb.
The report states
that he fractured it while struggling during his agony.
-The thumb is broken, yes,
but it's not trying to break free.
We have a clear fracture made towards the exterior.
-So that would be
external action? - Hm!
- That hypothesis cannot be ruled out.
- And on the cause of death?
-I confirm asphyxiation,
but not laryngeal edema. -Really ?
- Edema doesn't do that. -And these traces
on his lips?
-It is common when a victim has strong pressure
on his face.
-Pressure with a pillow filled with feathers.
Call the proc, Coste.
It's murder.
-HM hm.
-Dr Foreman, show us where Clarence Lebel died.
-Lebel was confined to sector 13,
the unit for the most difficult patients.
It is the only secure department of this hospital.
This way.
- Is this really necessary?
-For your safety, yes. A pen can become a weapon.
-OK.
- No bags, ma'am. -Gentle.
-Your bag, ma'am.
- Go on, Astrid.
It won't last long.
It's okay, Astrid.
-Don't touch it.
-This way.
-Stay close to me, Astrid.
-Who is this?
Who is this?
-I came in using my card and there he was, dead.
The room was guarded. So your murder story,
is hard to believe.
- Do you have the history from the cards?
-Yes. -You will pass all this on to me.
Astrid?
There is always something to see at a crime scene.
Who was watching the door? -Thierry, a guardian.
He has been here 20 years. He is beyond reproach.
-M. Keller, you were on duty the night C. Lebel was murdered.
You stood outside the door from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.
And then you tried to get in.
-That's right. My card didn't work.
I took the elevator and came back 1 minute later
with Dr. Foreman.
-And before that, you were not absent at all?
-Nope.
Nobody entered.
-You know what they say.
When you're the only witness who didn't see anything,
then you are more than a witness. - How could it be me who killed him?
Why would I do that? -You tell me.
-It doesn't make any sense.
Ask the other caregivers in sector 13.
Lebel was difficult but with me, he was doing well.
-The quality of a mystery
in a closed room always depends on the reliability of its witness.
In our case,
it is impossible to know if ours
is reliable.
- The nurse? -Yes.
- He is not guilty.
He doesn't fit the profile to me.
Astrid, I wanted to say...
If we have to go back to Esperito Santo,
you know that you aren't obliged to accompany me.
-I'm sorry, RaphaГ«lle, for not being able to help you.
But when I'm in that place,
my thoughts are blurred.
I'm afraid of getting lost.
I confuse the rooms, the spaces.
I feel trapped in their repetitive architecture
like in a maze.
But if you're with me,
I think I can do it. - So, let's do it like this.
If we go back, I won't let you out of my sight.
Count on me.
I wondered
if Lamarck wasn't taking us for a ride.
- He was right about the murder. -Yes.
But how did he know before everyone else?
- It's quite simple.Just ask him the question.
-Good morning sir.
-Lamarck.
How did you know that Lebel's victim had
broken finger?
The info was never disclosed.
- "If we look for him, he is there. If we find him, he disappears",
in 7 letters and starting with M. -We are not there
to play. -"Mystery".
-"Mystery".
-Are you kidding us? -Astrid, I understand
how you could have defeated
a man of my ability.
-Always so modest.
-"If you know the details of 1,000 crimes, you can
"manage the 1001st."
-Sherlock Holmes.
-Nope.
It's Arthur Conan Doyle.
-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the author of Sherlock Holmes.
- But isn't the character the shadow of its creator?
Through the mouth of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle speaks
like Erik Ernest for me.
-Erik Ernest was not one of your characters.
He was your figurehead and you murdered him.
-Conan Doyle also killed Sherlock Holmes.
- Yes, but he didn't exist.
You killed a real person by poisoning him.
-Did it make my books
less interesting to you? I believed it was the opposite.
- We'll stop there, huh?
-What is the first book by Erik Ernest that you read?
-Don't answer, Astrid.
-"The labyrinth". -Sure. The original form
of the mystery novel.
This intersection of paths that look alike
in which the reader wanders
between junctions and dead ends.
- Goodbye, Mr. Lamarck. -Goodbye.
Goodbye. Good...
bye.
-This is not over. -Yes.
We must leave now. We must leave. Thank you.
Goodbye.
-Astrid, explain to me what is happening.
-I untied
the mystery of the closed room. -Oh !
Don't touch it. I believe I know
how the murderer did it.
How he did it -Oh?
-The door.
Open.
There. Thank you. -So ? So ?
How did he do it?
-You have already examined this place.
-You have to go to the floor below, to the 3rd floor.
- Is that your great theory?
A secret hatch between the 3rd
and the 4th? There is no secret passage.
-We can go ?
-She always does that when she sees something.
-The ficus
has been moved.
Do you have your card?
Thank you.
-It is not activated for the 3rd floor.
-(Astrid, I'm not sure I'm following you.)
-The killer had time
to strangle Clarence Lebel in the isolation room on the 4th floor,
because this gentleman
was watching this door.
-Impossible ! -If it's possible.
The elevator buttons have been tampered with
in order to send those who press 4
on the 3rd floor.
On the panel, the screws have been screwed back incorrectly.
Then all the killer had to do was cover up a few details
so that the 2 floors became similar.
13 doors, colors,
the ficus has been moved
to hide the floor number.
And even... Excuse me sir.
Thank you sir.
And even the decorations.
The mystery of the closed room
is now solved.
Now we have to find the killer.
-We found this in the elevator control box.
-It's a hack. It's damn good, but an elevator,
is not that hard to hack. -One only had to push
a button to put it back to normal. We recovered
the hard drive of all access card history.
-And so ? -It's empty.
We sent it to the cyber unit to try to get something off it.
-The floor where the murder took place was
without supervision and the nurse supervised
the wrong door. -The perfect illusion.
As a result, the nurse is removed from the list of suspects.
-The family of the man Lebel killed is out of the question.
His wife and son
live in the United States. - They could have ordered a murder.
-Other people could have taken revenge:
friends, colleagues, relatives.
-It increases the number of suspects.
It's easy to infiltrate an psych unit.
-But sector 13 is a fortress.
There is only one secure entrance. -No one left the building
since the murder. We think the killer is still there.
You impressed me.
With how you entered Sector 13.
It was less difficult.
- You were with me. I was sure not to get lost.
And the prospect
of solving a puzzle took precedence over the rest.
- Is it when Lamarck spoke of the labyrinth that you realised?
-"The Labyrinth" is his 13th novel written under the name of Erik Ernest.
-He could be
putting you on the trail of a solution he already knows.
-Do you think that Alain Lamarck has a link with this murder?
-This guy is a manipulative pervert.
Astrid... - Yes?
-I am not joking.
Take care.
This guy is dangerous. OKAY ?
Oh well !
There are so many.
-These are all the folders
of patients and staff who have access to sector 13.
- Isn't it computerized? -Maybe we'll get there
one day. -It will take us
hours. -Yes.
Hours, Lieutenant Enguien. Hours.
-I can talk to you ?
Tell me more about Lebel.
- A complex personality.
He subjugated others and viewed them as objects.
- He took it out on other patients?
-We have always been vigilant, but we can't be everywhere.
- I will be obliged to question all your patients.
-It's not going to be easy.
Many of them are fragile.
In sector 13, true and false are relative notions
Everyone is here. Very well.
Thank you all for being here today.
Commander Coste and Captain Perran
are with me. -Hello.
-They are investigating following the death of Lebel.
They will help us to see more clearly
what happened with this shocking event.
- We are here to listen to you.
We are not accusing anyone.
We would like to know more.
We are looking for the truth.
-The truth ?
-Hmm?
-I'm happy
that he is dead.
-These words are perhaps a bit strong, Lucie.
-Nope.
Lebel was a monster.
Every time he saw me, he said he was going to rape me.
One day he did.
He came into my room.
I wanted to resist
but he scared me so much.
If Thierry hadn't arrived at that time...
I wanted revenge.
I wanted to destroy him. I hated him so much.
Maybe I did it.
-No !
It was me.
I killed him.
- Gregory, what are you talking about?
-That's why...
I heard him die at night.
It's because I killed him
like dad.
- No, I killed him.
- Liar, I killed him.
-It was me !
-Stay seated. Calm down.
We will sit down
and we will calm down.
Sit down.
-You know what ?
-No.
This weekend, I went skydiving with Emma.
-No! You don't even know how to jump off a diving board
and you jump out of a plane?
I'll have Foreman keep you here.
-You're crazy.
-Hey !
Don't look at me.
It was a bit of a mess, your little interrogation.
- No, we are getting to know you.
-I can tell you something,
but you will not be able to use it, because I will refuse
to testify. -We're listening.
- The caregivers killed Lebel.
Everyone here knows it.
Everyone acts like nothing happened
because everyone is afraid.
-What are they afraid of?
-To suffer the same fate as Lebel.
Don't you understand? This is not a
psychiatric institute.
It's a place where they perform
experiments on people.
I'm here to bring them down.
-Excuse me.
-Eh ? - Oh there!
-You have a cell-phone ?
You know what they do with those? They read
your minds.
Fuck ! You are crazy!
Forget it. Really.
It rang. -OKAY. So I should answer?
-Yes go ahead.
- Yes, Arthur. *-Did you get them to talk?
-Yes, and not just a little. There are 5 accusing each other of the murder.
And are you making progress?
-To find a link between 40 suspects
and a 9-year-old murder? As Astrid would say...
- Too much information affects the readability of the information.
-There you go. She's setting up a crazy ranking system.
*-Okay, and...
Any info on Elysabeth Cuddy?
-Elysabeth Cuddy? Hold on.
Elizabeth Cuddy.
*-Psychotic with paranoid tendencies.
*This is her 4th stay
*there and she burned down
her last building swearing
that it was full of microphones.
-Okay, and...
on GrГ©gory Demaison, what do you have?
*-GrГ©gory Demaison, Astrid?
-Yes.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
- Interned for hallucinatory
schizophrenia.
Kidnapped by his father
*until the age of 16. He broke free
*by strangling and killing him.
-That's not all. -Wait. Hold the line.
*-According to a report by the institution,
he attacked Lebel 15 days ago.
Following this, Lebel spent
*several days
in the infirmary.
-Not bad eh ? - Yes, it's bad.
-Thank you.
-I'm going...
-Hello, Gregory. I can sit down?
Empty. Sorry.
- The doctor, he doesn't want me to drink coffee.
-My partner says
I drink too much too. She says it's bad for the heart.
- He says that...
the more coffee I drink,
the more voices I hear.
-And what are these voices saying?
-This is my father.
There was an argument.
"He argued with you the night we found Lebel's body?"
- Are you going to arrest me? -No.
Why did you say you killed him?
-Because my father
was Lebel.
Only I recognized him.
He had changed his face, but I recognized him
by his smell.
-They all look alike. -This is Lucie's.
The one who was attacked by Lebel. I intervened
just in time. It could have ended badly.
"The evil flowers".
- That's forbidden.
-Baudelaire is prohibited? -No,
personal property.
-May I ? -Yes.
- Carefull.. the files.
- So, Arthur? -We are moving forward,
but no links that could connect a patient to the murder
of Lebel 9 years ago. -I found
this book in Lucie Graziani's room.
She dog-eared some pages. It's weird, isn't it?
-I can ? -Yes.
-Thank you.
There has to be
an explanation.
With a little time, I can find it.
-I knew it.
- But I need time.
- Anything new on the access card history?
-Not yet.
We're on it now.
-Astrid?
Ah! There !
She does that all the time.
-It's too early for that! -Give her back
her book. -Her psychiatric fragility
requires that she be spared this kind of stimuli.
- My daughter has no place being here. She has no psychiatric issues.
She is autistic.
-It's an infantile psychosis.
She had several seizures. - You took her book.
- What she needs isn't books.
It's treatment.
*-Astrid.
Did our last conversation put you on the right track?
*-You do not have
the right to call me. I'm hanging up.
*-What a shame.
I was going to help you some more. *-I'm putting an end
to this conversation. *-One of Erik Ernest's books
is directly inspired by the murder committed by Lebel.
You are not hanging up?
*Still on the line, Astrid?
I had access to the investigation file. *-That's why you know
about the broken thumb. *-You begin to understand.
*I have discovered information that will be useful to you.
You just need to know which book it is in.
*-M. Lamarck,
there are 146 books written by Erik Ernest, 152 counting
*collections. - You have read them all.
*-Yes.
- So this information is there
*somewhere in your memory.
But where ? Prefrontal, frontal lobe?
Mysterious.
*-M. Lamarck,
which book is it?
- Come see me alone and I'll tell you.
-I have to talk to Commander Coste about it.
*-If you tell her, she might think
that you have been going behind her back.
- You called me.
-It's a question of perspective.
*A question of perspective, as always.
-Astrid, who are you talking to?
-The book.
I've found it.
-Hmm? - You didn't have to look for
a link on the indicated pages,
but in the folds that point to a word.
"I".
"Think".
"HAS".
"You".
And gradually, these words form a sentence.
"I think of you.
"Wait for me in your room tonight at 1 o'clock."
-This book contained a message intended for Lucie.
-Lucie Graziani, yes. -It means
that she was having a relationship, but with whom?
-After the sentence, there are 4 words left.
"Elixir", "ruineux", "ici",
"criniere".
I think it is
a signature. -E.R.I.C.
Eric. -Yes.
-Eric Foreman?
-Yes. Dr Foreman.
-Eric Foreman is having an affair with a patient?
It is strictly prohibited. -So they communicate
with a coded book and that's motive for Foreman.
He wanted to avenge Lucie for his attack.
-Commanding officer.
We have the swipe card history.
A card opened Lebel's room 2 hours before
and it's Foreman's. -It's your turn.
-You can't disturb him.
He is in session.
-M. Forman! -Leave him alone.
Leave him ! Leave him !
-Come on !
-Drop him!
Coward !
Calm down! -Shit !
Is he breathing?
-He's alive.
Foreman underwent
a tracheal operation.
He's not about to speak.
-You surprise me.
-There's something weird in Foreman's
notes during his interview with GrГ©gory.
-See. -There.
- "I smell like his father."
"I smell like his father."
Smell these.
What does it smell like?
-The perfume.
-And that ?
-THE SAME PERFUME. -OKAY.
This is Lebel's T-shirt.
This is Foreman's blouse.
-I don't understand.
-Someone sprayed
Foreman with Lebel's perfume.
GrГ©gory told me that when he attacked Lebel,
with the smell, he had recognized his father.
-He had changed his face, but I recognized him
by his smell.
-GrГ©gory and Lebel's father
had the same scent.
-A perfume that makes GrГ©gory violent, because it brings
his trauma back to the surface
until he attacked Lebel. -Yes.
The killer must have witnessed the scene
and wanted to reproduce it this morning to eliminate Foreman.
-Thank you sir.
-You have the most charming weakness.
One unanswered question and you come running.
-The book you wrote
following the David Lerivage affair is "Le Gibet voyageur".
Nothing in its content refers
to the Lerivage case.
In "La Fracture au point mort", the victim has a broken finger.
That's the only commonality I could find.
In "Spearhead",
a man is committed to escape justice.
But what information could coincide with our case?
- You are fascinating.
Unparalleled sharpness for details invisible to others.
Next to that, total blindness to feelings
and emotions. -HM hm.
-The labyrinth
leads inside oneself, but it's not always pretty.
Are you facing your demons, Miss Nielsen?
-What book is it?
-The maze scares you.
So you stay on the surface.
You dare not come down.
How to be reborn into the light if you won't
don't go to the heart of darkness?
- You don't scare me. -It's what's inside you
that scares you.
Have you spoken to RaphaГ«lle about it?
-These questions are not about the investigation.
-Answer me
and you will have your answer.
-I don't want RaphaГ«lle to think I'm sick.
-There it is.
Here we are.
There it is, your demon.
You are so afraid of not being legit.
-I am qualified. I am useful.
What book is it?
-In "Le Gibet", discovering the murderer is secondary.
The challenge
is to understand why they didn't find him sooner.
-Because the investigators were unaware that the 1st victim
had a mistress.
David Lerivage had a mistress. It is not specified anywhere.
-On the photos,
the closeness with his collaborator is obvious, right?
Astrid.
-Yes ? -You can count on me
to keep our little secret. -What a little secret
are you talking about ? - About this meeting.
RaphaГ«lle must never know about it.
She won't forgive you.
-The door.
-Help me, Lucy.
Who could blame Dr. Foreman?
I mean you no harm.
I just want to know the truth.
-The truth.
-I know about you and Dr. Foreman.
We figured out the code for your book.
You have to talk to me, Lucy.
-Lucy !
Hush, hush, hush, hush!
Calm ! Calm !
-Do not touch.
-The spectators !
Here they are, the spectators.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
-Don't touch. Don't touch.
- Madam, everything ok?
- My daughter has no place being here. She is autistic.
Laugh. -It is there, your demon.
The maze scares you.
-I'm lost.
I... I...
-Astrid,
I won't let go of you. Count on me.
- Raphaelle.
Raphaelle.
-Excuse me. Astrid?
Astrid?
What is happening ?
Oh shit !
A bean, okay.
Breathe.
I'm here. Tell me.
- Laurence Kutner.
She was the colleague of David Lerivage,
the man Clarence Lebel killed
on September 5, 2011.
She was his colleague
and also his mistress.
-OK. How did you find that out?
- I made cross-checks
between the David Lerivage investigation reports
and those of attempted suicide
by Laurence Kutner.
She never recovered from his death, but that's not all.
Laurence Kutner
had a daughter
who was placed in public care
on the death of her mother then in a foster family
whose last name she ended up taking.
Graziani.
- Lucie Graziani. -Yes.
Lucie Graziani.
She is the illegitimate child of David Lerivage.
-OK.
Sorry, Astrid.
I'll be right back. - Raphaelle.
-She's been laughing at us. Open the door!
-It's blocked.
-Lucy ! -Step aside.
-There should never have been an investigation.
- However, there was murder. -Lebel killed my father.
My father's death led to my mother's suicide.
He was responsible
for screwing up my life. - Court decisions
are sometimes unfair. -Nothing in my life has been fair.
That's enough ! That's enough !
That's enough !
It's finished. It's over.
I did what had to be done.
- You didn't have to
to kill him.
-Come here.
Please come closer.
Come.
I was forced.
The voice told me.
Hush!
It's over.
-The plan had been calibrated to the millimeter for months, years.
-She's faking her mental illness? -It's hard to say.
The experts will decide, but since her arrest,
she is in severe psychotic delirium
and she tried to mutilate herself.
-Yes. If she is pretending,
that's what she blamed
Lebell for.
-When she arrived, she may have been sane.
Her time in Sector 13 may have driven her crazy.
For good.
-When I was 16,
I was expelled from school.
Following this, social services made a report.
I was taken away from daddy
and placed in a mental institution.
There, I was confronted with my 1st labyrinth.
-Astrid!
Astrid!
I promised you that I would get you out of there.
We're going back home.
- You are making a mistake.
-The mazes saved me.
But I got a little lost.
-No.
Look around you.
You conquered this labyrinth a long time ago.
-Raphaelle,
I have to make a confession to you.
I went to jail alone
see Alain Lamarck.
He helped me identify the link
between David Lerivage and Laurence Kutner.
Without him, I would never have made it.
-You did well.
It allowed you to reach the resolution of the investigation.
- Hum! - But you should have told me.
I am your friend and your partner.
I will never judge you.
I trust you.
-Trust,
it's taking a risk.
-That's it.
-Thank you.
-Miss Nielsen? This is for you.
-Listen.
Listen. It's ringing.
*-My dear Astrid,
*I hate to leave without saying goodbye.
- Alain Lamarck. -Lamarck!
*-Commander Coste, what a pleasure!
-M. Lamarck, did you use me to escape?
*-What an idea !
The escape had been planned for a long time
before I met you.
*You made my time in prison delightful.
*What would Moriarty be without Sherlock Holmes?
Thanks to you, I wrote my most beautiful novel.
*-Lamarck!
Shit ! -He hung up.
-What's this ?
-"The Open Room".
A new novel.
HM hm.
