We call it the beaten cake.
- I'll take one.
And they spoke to me too a regional cheese,
Rollot, is that it?
- There you have it, the Rollot of Picardy.
He’s here.
The Rollot of Picardie, it was my favorite cheese
of Louis XIV, it seems.
- We're going to trust him.
You give me one.
- A Rollot.
- I've been here before a few months ago,
- there was a slightly elderly gentleman, - a little strong too.
- It must be Mr. Boss.

You will pass to him

Well, I went down to his cabin

At no time do you say to yourself:
"She doesn't know what she's doing,
It’s up to me to be responsible”?
- She told me 16, me, I believed her.
She's the one who sends me photos, I didn't ask for anything.
It's like this now,
Finally, times have changed.
In my opinion, I wasn't the first.
- Even at 16. The age difference
doesn't shock you?
- Well, no.
- In other words,
you don't understand
what are you being accused of today?
- Not really, no.
- That's it, that's the surprise, you have done nothing wrong.
- I... I don't think so, no.
Finally...
- And it happens to you often
to meet minor women
and make advances towards them?
- Once or twice, no more.
I...
- We are going to suspend the session for lunch.
But before that, dear sir, allow me,
if, as you say, times have changed,
then you are an exception.

I am a big reporter

I would love to talk to you.

Can we come in?
- Leave me alone. Eh ?
I have nothing to say.
- Sir ? I think I know who killed your daughter.
Do you allow me?
What occasion was it, this photo?
How old was she?
- It's for his 15th birthday.
- A real young woman.
- Okay, then...
what do you know?
- First, I would like to introduce you
my most sincere condolences
and tell you how much
I am sorry about what happened to you.
If I'm here, it's to try
to catch the bastard who did this.
For that, I need you,
Mr. Fresnel.
I need you to tell me
what you know.
If you refuse to talk to me,
alone, I won't be able to do anything.
- Who is she?
- Marilyn.
A friend of Jessica.
I questioned her earlier,
she insisted on talking to you.
- Do you know Jessi?
- She works with her
- at the restaurant. - - “At the restaurant”?
- At Burger King.
It's Jessi who showed me how to do it.
She really was super nice to me.
Without her, I don't know if I would have stayed.
- You also told me
that she confided in you,
that she told you what she wanted do later in life.
- My daughter, it’s nature that she loves.
It's the plants, the flowers.
She knows the names of flowers by heart.
She has talent my daughter,
she has a lot of talent.
I want you to write it down, let it be known.
- Absolutely.
She had a lover, a lover?
In most cases,
- the author of femicide - is a man between 30 and 50 years old,
in a relationship with the victim.
- No, I don't think so. I don't know, I don't know anymore.
- Listen sir, I have to to ask yourself this question,
do you know if your daughter was raped?
- All I know, it’s that we found
his bike at the side of the road
and that she was...
further away, in the field.
Disfigured.
- Had she been hit?
- She was doused with acid.
- To make the body disappear?
- No, she was alive.
She called the fire brigade.
- Did you listen to the call?

Get out.

- I don't want to romance Jessica's love life.

There is no

they are lost.
- What do we do, then?
- We are interested in the culprit.
- Lacombe

A 5 to 6 minute walk
that the two 8 year old girls

But this time, no one

gave the alert at 8:10 a.m.

An investigation for disturbing disappearance
kidnapping and kidnapping of minors
was triggered
and entrusted to the judicial police.
We listen to your questions.
- (Who is it ?)
(Who is it?)
- Here, for Detective.
It's been almost 32 hours that the disappearance
was reported,
however, we know that all
first hours are decisive.
And you don't trigger
the kidnapping alert?
- Triggering an alert is heavily regulated by law.
Not all criteria are met.
- Finally, why deprive yourself
a device that works?
- Unless - it's already too late.
- At this point,
no track is preferred, no avenue is ruled out.
And please believe
that we do everything possible
- so that Caroline and Léa - are found safe and sound.
Thank you for your question.
- He was a truck driver.
He stopped everything 5-6 years ago,
to take care of mom.
Do you want one?
- No, thank you.
- Afterwards, when she died,
he settled here.
And then he stopped everything,
he withdrew into himself.
Already it wasn't
a funny brother, so after...
- Did he have friends, relatives?
- Neither friends nor girlfriend.
I only knew him once
relationship was in college.
However, he was not
so ugly as that.
- When you learned what he had done, didn't that surprise you?
- Yes, definitely.
- He was weird, - but from there to killing someone.
Already, women were wearing it
uncomfortable, even mine.
One day I asked him
what was the problem with her.
He told me

- What is this gear?
- It's CiBi.
The ancestor of the Internet.
Mobile station, a fixed station.
- That's it, it works - like a pirate radio station, that is.
- That's to say ?
- It allows you to transmit and receive
waves in a small area.
How can I explain it to you?
Imagine that radio waves,
it's like light.
- The higher you are, - the bigger your antenna,
the more you can capture and transmit
over long distances.
- And what is it for?
- It's no use.
It serves to...
It's no use, it's no use
chatting with people, randomly,
to pass the time, that's it.
Do you want me to show you?
- Yes, I do, go ahead.
