In Another Life
1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES [lively music playing over speakers.]
[playful music playing.]
[groans.]
Don't you think you should move it? What? [stutters.]
The car - Are you in a hurry? - No.
- Is someone expecting you? - No.
So don't fuck with me! I had a bad day And also a bad week.
And a bad year too! Then take your time.
OPEN [toilet flushing.]
Sorry about earlier.
I'm kind of stressed out these days.
Ah, no problem! It happens.
[chuckles.]
Don't worry! [ominous music playing.]
[buzzing.]
[buzzing intensifies.]
[man grunting and shouting.]
Sir? [choking noises.]
[buzzing.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Laurène? Laurène! - What happened? - [Laurène.]
Go upstairs.
- Go upstairs and see.
- [sinister music playing.]
[man breathing heavily and mumbling.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Jonas? - [door screeches.]
- [groans.]
Oh, shit [footsteps coming down stairs.]
[Teddy Bear.]
What's this? And why did you cuff him? I didn't want him to vanish into the wild.
[Teddy Bear sighs.]
All of this is related, Teddy Bear.
Well I hope you're right.
- What did he tell you? - Nothing, he won't talk to me.
- Why is that? - Because he's scared.
- What's he scared of? - Who, not what.
Did you see his scars? He saw him.
[music intensifies.]
[heavy breathing.]
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[gloomy music playing.]
Can you roll down the window? I forgot my autoinjector at the hotel.
Uh, I can't risk getting stung.
That guy got stung about 50 times.
He should make it though.
This is increasingly worrisome.
It's the third time over the past six months.
We can't even piss in peace Did you inform the Major? No, she's not answering her phone.
Neither is Teddy Bear.
But they did send us someone.
- Who? - An environmental inspector.
She'll try to figure out why the bees are going nuts.
- [scoffs.]
- [mutters.]
- I'll bet she's just another nosy bitch.
- [woman.]
Hello.
I'm Delphine Garnier.
The nosy bitch.
Hermann Chief Adjutant Hermann.
And that's the prosecutor in the car.
I mean, Prosecutor Siriani.
Hey, we know each other, don't we? - I beg your pardon? - You also have a room at the Eldorado.
Oh, yes, that's right.
It's weird that we never bumped into each other.
Well, I've seen you.
You're in the room next door.
Oh.
Maybe.
It's possible Hmm.
Do you work for [clears throat.]
the ONCFS or the DTT? For the DREAL, under supervision of the DGPR, of course.
- Of course.
- Of course.
And what about the bees? We'll need to conduct some tests.
They're reacting to something.
- What is it? - [Delphine.]
I don't know Staying in that car won't help us solve it.
[chuckles.]
[sinister music playing.]
This way.
[Jonas.]
Why are you locking me up? I did nothing wrong.
I'm not locking you up.
I'm protecting you.
You're safe in here.
These walls, this grating, they won't stop him.
I'll come back later to check on you.
we'll have a chat, okay? Can you keep an eye on him? I need to find Siriani to talk to him about those bees.
This is really risky.
Do you see another way to make him talk? It's my first solid lead.
Okay, what do we tell the others? If Siriani finds out he's linked to what happened, he'll pull me off the case.
We can say he assaulted me last night.
- That ain't right.
- Please.
[sighs.]
Thank you.
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[Delphine.]
It could be a nervous system disorder, but the tests aren't conclusive.
Unfortunately, we can expect more attacks.
I tried to get hold of the mayor, but he won't answer.
[Siriani sighs.]
Must be celebrating his dad's victory.
Things have been tough for him lately.
But we need to fix the problem.
Gotta stop the bees before they strike again.
[quietly.]
Yes.
There are no apiaries here, we're looking for a wild swarm that could've settled anywhere.
[indistinct talking in background.]
Bees like to be close to a water source.
In the area, there's only Prévost Pond.
- Let's try it, I'll give you a ride.
- No! That won't be necessary All right, all right.
Let's go.
[door clicks open.]
- [Léa.]
Sabine's not here? - No, she went to the city.
I can leave her a message.
No, I just wanted to know if she'd seen Bertrand.
[Laurène.]
I don't think he came by.
[Léa.]
He didn't come home last night.
Then again, it's not like I noticed the difference.
I'm sorry.
It can't be easy for you.
- If there's anything I can do - No.
[sighs.]
He probably needed some time alone.
If anyone sees him, I'll call you.
[Bertrand moaning softly.]
[grunts.]
[breathes heavily.]
[wind rustling.]
[quietly.]
Marion Marion [groaning.]
[sinister music playing.]
[crunching noise upstairs.]
- [metal clanking.]
- [Cora gasps.]
Roman? [indistinct talking.]
[man.]
What the hell are you doing here? [Cora.]
I'm looking for Roman.
I know he got out.
[man.]
Roman's not here.
He's not allowed anywhere near us.
That's the rule.
Don't you know where he is? What do you want, Cora? Hmm? We know you got screwed with the judge.
If you think you can use us to fuck with Gérald Steiner, forget about it.
You're not welcome here anymore.
And you're still doing this? I thought it was over.
No, we're here.
We have instructions to fight back.
[Cora.]
Instructions from whom? - Who's in charge? - [man.]
Nobody knows who it is.
Anyway, it's none of your business.
Go back and play with your bow and arrows.
[Laurène.]
Prévost Pond is two kilometers away.
[Delphine.]
Put this on.
Let's not take any unnecessary risks.
Yeah, I think I'll be supervising this from here.
You're going to lock yourself in your car again? I told you I'm allergic to bees, to pollen - You know, all that stuff.
- Mm.
Here you go.
[quietly.]
Where did you find this guy? They send them to us from time to time.
But this one's hanging on.
[gloomy music playing.]
What? [sinister music playing.]
[Siriani.]
It gets hot in these things, huh? [Teddy Bear.]
I think you look good in it.
A nice change from your suits.
Ferrandis, when we get near the hive, do you mind staying in front of me? [Teddy Bear.]
Sure.
Don't worry, she won't notice you're scared.
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[music intensifies.]
[buzzing.]
[sinister music playing.]
[intense buzzing.]
[panicked breathing.]
[breathes heavily.]
[buzzing.]
[music intensifies.]
[deep breathing.]
[Leila.]
The advanced state of decomposition means he'd been there for a while.
You think the bees killed him? [Leila.]
No.
He's been disfigured, and there are no signs of bee stings.
In fact, it's like the bees swarmed around him to build a hive.
Maybe they wanted us to find him.
Okay.
I'll just pretend you didn't say this, huh? No.
The killer did all the savage stuff post-mortem.
He burned his fingerprints.
He messed up his face, and Check this out.
His teeth are all broken.
He didn't want him identified.
- [Laurène.]
Anything else? - [Leila.]
No, apart from here, on his left elbow One plate and two screws.
[tense music playing.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Yann Séguier.
He's the only guy in Villefranche who got surgery on his elbow.
He has no family left in the region.
[Laurène.]
So, no missing person report.
[Teddy Bear.]
He inherited a house from his dad.
- Can you guess his occupation? - Beekeeper.
Bingo.
What do you guys want? - I'm Major Weiss.
- Adjutant Ferrandis.
Is this Yann Séguier's home? Yeah, he's my man.
Why? What did he do? - We found a body in the forest.
- It could be your boyfriend's.
Really? Yeah, I don't think so, that's my man over here.
I'm sorry, I can't find my wallet anywhere.
[Teddy Bear.]
Any type of ID will do, it's just a quick check.
Maybe it's a bad time.
[Laurène.]
Just bring it to the gendarmerie when you find it.
- It's not in your pickup truck? - No The lady said he could bring it over later.
Hey, Marie, it's okay.
[Yann.]
Would my driver's license do? [Teddy Bear.]
Great.
I was wondering Do you have bees in your hives? Oh, no I never took care of them.
They belonged to my father.
After he passed away, they all left.
Okay, we won't bother you any longer.
- Sorry for the inconvenience.
- [Yann.]
No worries.
He's certainly not the body we found in the forest.
The scar, the hives It couldn't be a coincidence.
I smell something fishy.
Keep digging, but you can't just rely on a hunch.
The pot calling the kettle black.
[chuckles.]
I got work to do tonight.
Paul's gonna be mad at me again.
We need to replace Camille I don't think Hermann's ready.
[Laurène.]
I'll talk to him.
[sinister music playing.]
[soft moaning.]
[voice in wind.]
Marion! [girl screaming in wind.]
Marion! [echoes.]
[Bertrand's voice echoes.]
Marion! [Gaspard.]
You're starting on Monday at 7:30.
[man.]
Thank you, Mr.
Bellan.
Thanks a lot.
Next! [Gaspard.]
My old friend Rudy! Window cleaning.
An internship in a bakery, scooter license.
No experience at all.
- But I'm willing to do anything! - [man snoring.]
Maintenance, data entry I can move furniture.
You see any furniture here? You're not here to snoop around, are you? No, why would I do that? [Gaspard.]
I don't know That's what your girlfriend does, Miss Weiss may have sent a mole to spy on us.
I'm the one who gave you Roman, remember? I just need money, just like everyone else.
I stopped hanging out with Cora All right.
.
[inhales.]
I'll give you a shot.
We always need someone to handle paperwork.
It can't hurt to have a guy - [man snorts.]
- who knows how to read and count.
But I'm warning you If you fuck with us [snapping noise.]
Hm? Next! [melancholic music playing.]
[sobs.]
[sobbing.]
I HOPE YOU'RE OKAY.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY NEWS.
[Laurène.]
You haven't seen Rudy lately? No, not much.
[Laurène.]
You had a fight? I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
CALL ME WHEN YOU CAN.
[Cora.]
No, but We each went our own way.
It's not like it used to be.
Maybe he has a girlfriend Hey, look what I found.
- Scrabble.
- [Laurène.]
Yeah.
We haven't played a game for a while.
We never played Scrabble together.
It was Dad's.
Half the letters are missing.
No big deal! We'll just make smaller words.
You don't need to do this.
I'm exhausted, I'd rather watch a show in my bed.
[smooching.]
Good night.
Good night! [sinister music playing.]
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[heavy breathing.]
[quietly.]
Here.
[quietly.]
Thank you.
[slurping.]
Can you tell me about the man who assaulted you? It wasn't a man who did this.
It was Cercunnos.
The stag god? Just like in your attic Six months ago, I found a stag head at my front door.
The following night, I heard a noise in my barn.
He was waiting for me in the dark.
That's when he did this to me.
Why would he assault you? Why you? I'd been polluting the earth with my pesticides.
I stopped, but now it's the quarry that's ruining the entire region.
Cernunnos will be back to punish us.
I can even tell you when.
On the first day of Samonios, forty nights after the autumnal equinox, the Day of the Dead.
[tense music playing.]
[quietly.]
Jonas We both agree it can't be a god, right? The bees The crows The bleeding trees All the signs are there.
You know it's true.
He saved you in the forest.
What are you talking about? You were dead and he brought you back.
Only a god has that kind of power.
There is no Cernunnos, just a mentally ill guy, that's all.
The book, Pliny's accounts The Romans saw him too, and they paid the price.
- Now it's our turn.
- Enough.
Even if Verbeck was right about the Romans, the guy who assaulted you can't be 2,000 years old.
[somber music playing.]
PLINY'S MEMOIRS [eerie whispering in wind.]
[woman on TV.]
Who is the great man who once said, "We're all worms, but I do believe that" [Paul.]
Do you know this one, Martial? - No, I didn't hear the question - I'll tell you something.
With that type of question, it's either Roosevelt or Churchill.
Always.
[woman on TV.]
Sorry Martine, it was Winston Churchill.
- Booyah! - And let me remind you that You want me to change the channel? No, no Leave it on I'm just thinking about that body we found, in that wild hive Is it the investigation or Laurène? What do you mean? She's been acting weird since she came back.
What she did to the librarian? Baby, this is nonsense.
It was self-defense.
What are you talking about? Yeah All right.
I think that girl's got no limits, is all.
She scares me.
[man on TV.]
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
[woman on TV.]
Bravo.
That was the right answer! Booyah again.
[upbeat music playing.]
[Delphine.]
Settle down, sir.
Come and sit down with me.
There's enough room for both of us.
Rough day, huh - Are you recovering? - I'm okay.
Don't worry about me.
You need to know that bees only sting when they feel threatened.
If that's not the case, they can wander over an entire body without any hostility whatsoever.
[Sabine.]
Bees don't attack people.
They protect themselves from pollution.
Normally, pollution kills them, it doesn't make them aggressive.
[Sabine.]
That's because you don't know Villefranche yet.
In these parts, nature fights back.
Does she really believe that? Sabine is quite a character.
But I do find her quite endearing - [chuckles.]
- And slightly scary [Delphine.]
You should've seen her face when I asked for the cocktail menu.
[shy laugh.]
I know about your vendetta against the Steiners.
Turns out, I have an ax to grind with them too.
- [Siriani.]
Ah.
- Mm.
Many environmental red flags were reported to my department.
And when we wanted to check them, Steiner blocked us.
That's why I was sent here.
Could the red flags you mentioned be linked to toxic waste that was buried in the ground? It's possible.
Do you know anything? I don't have any proof, but I'm convinced it can be found in the storage area.
It's totally illegal.
The problem is all of my search warrant requests were rejected.
Oh.
There you go, it seems like we share a common interest, you and I.
[snickers.]
[car engine struggling to start.]
[suspenseful music playing.]
[buzzing.]
[buzzing intensifies.]
[muffled screaming.]
[music intensifies.]
A vengeful god? We both know it's utter nonsense! The assault traumatized him.
His thoughts are muddled, but the guy he calls Cernunnos is the guy we're after.
He said he'd come back at Samonios, the Day of the Dead.
Even if you're right, we can't keep him forever.
What do you want to do? We can take him to court for an immediate trial.
Get a doctor to look at his wounds and a shrink to check his delusions.
PLINY'S MEMOIRS I don't want the General Inspectorate on my ass.
We got enough shit to deal with as it is.
[knock on door.]
- [Hermann.]
Is Jonas still here? - [Teddy Bear.]
Hm.
What are we, a bed and breakfast? I'm handling his transfer to court, is that okay? [Hermann.]
Ah The bees attacked again last night.
[Laurène.]
I know.
How's your progress with Yann Séguier? We don't have much, but he did lose his papers in February and asked for new ones.
It would've been around the time the guy in the tree died.
[Hermann.]
Yeah.
We did obtain a digital copy of his passport.
[coughs.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Fuck! I don't know who we talked to, but it wasn't Yann Séguier.
[melancholic music playing.]
What are you up to? I'm going into town to get some parts.
Can I come with? I won't be long, go back to bed.
Don't you wanna join me? [car approaching.]
For fuck's sake [Marie.]
What do you want this time? [Laurène.]
Who is your boyfriend, really? Why is the real Yann Séguier dead? [Marie.]
What are you talking about? [sinister music playing.]
[Marie.]
Yann, what the hell is going on? What are you burning? What are you planning to do with this? [Teddy Bear.]
Put it down! [Laurène.]
Put it down.
- [man screaming.]
- Yann! [Marie screams.]
Yann! - So? - He won't talk.
You think he killed Seguier to take his place? He did scar his arm in the right place to cover his tracks.
We found a bag with his stuff inside his truck.
There was also some cash.
I think he was on the run.
[Laurène.]
Why didn't he do that earlier? Well, he wanted to vanish completely.
He cleaned everything up at home.
No fingerprints.
[gloomy music playing.]
This is all we got for bee stings.
We could order more That'll do [footsteps approaching.]
I'm here for my appointment.
Yes, Mr.
Steiner, the doctor will see you.
Yes Your pacemaker, I imagine? Faulty contacts are prone to occur around here.
I'm not alone in dealing with fickle machines.
I'm worried about you though.
Your granddaughter's dead, your son is a wreck, and it's all because of you.
It can't be good for your blood pressure.
You haven't gotten rid of me yet, Mr.
Steiner.
I hope so.
I also think a lot about you, sir.
[Marie.]
I don't get this bull about the corpse.
The man you're living with isn't Yann Séguier.
And he may have killed someone.
You never noticed anything strange? Bullshit.
Yann would never kill anyone! He's a good guy.
- He's the first decent guy I've ever met.
- Why do you say that? I've never been lucky with men.
I'd always go for the wrong guy.
But he's the first one to respect me, the first one to love me for who I really am.
Mm.
He was planning to split this morning.
- Without you.
- [scoffs.]
Bullshit.
[Hermann.]
Oh yeah? What about this? Is that a load of bullshit too? What about this? And this? Ring a bell? For fuck's sake! Your boyfriend did this.
Wake the hell up! Hermann Excuse me.
[Herman sighs.]
He pulled it off.
He burned everything.
- Here you go.
- No thanks.
- [deep sigh.]
- You seem tense.
No more than you.
[Laurène.]
You're right We're all a bit tired.
Maybe we could recruit someone? To replace Camille.
It's not a good time.
- It's been three months.
When will we? - When the time is right.
Goddammit.
We don't even know why she killed Marion.
We'll never know why, Hermann We're all worried about you, you talk to yourself, you mumble at your desk.
I'm perfectly fine, thank you very much.
[tense music playing.]
Laurène? [mysterious music playing.]
[sighs.]
If the bees attacked here, it means the hive moved to the area.
[Siriani.]
The fire department inspected the area but they didn't find anything I don't understand why they keep moving.
It makes no sense.
[snickers.]
You'll get used to it after a while [suspenseful music playing.]
Ms.
Garnier, I'd like to have an opinion about something [Delphine.]
Royal jelly the worker bees make it to feed their queen.
What? The hive is inside a vehicle.
How is that possible? It can happen when the queen gets stuck somewhere That's why the swarm's been moving around.
It's looking for its queen.
I need to see him.
- I'm sorry, can't do.
- I beg you.
I've been with him for months.
We ate together, slept together, had sex together.
I need to talk to him.
I beg you One minute then.
Thanks.
In any case, he won't talk, he hasn't said a word since he got here.
[shaky breathing.]
They all say you did horrible things.
Look me in the eye.
Whether you're Yann Séguier or someone else, I don't care.
[Marie.]
I need to know one thing.
Is it true you wanted to leave me behind? Answer me, please.
I didn't want them to think you were my accomplice.
One day, my car broke down in the area.
And that dude Seguier helped me.
I saw his house, his workshop, it was so remote I don't know what got into me I thought I could vanish and take his place I hadn't planned on meeting you.
Why did you do it? Who even are you? [Teddy Bear.]
Come on, time to go now.
Come with me.
[quietly.]
Come, come.
- Come.
- [music intensifies.]
[tense music playing.]
What are you doing? You're gonna let us both escape.
[Laurène.]
There were fingerprints on that picture we found.
[Hermann.]
Tom Vinoy.
It happened two years ago.
He was driving at night with his wife and daughter.
He fell asleep at the wheel, they both died.
[Laurène.]
Afterwards, he went through depression and exhibited violent behavior.
He was sent to an institution.
[Siriani reads.]
"Self-hate", "violence towards hospital staff," "personality disorders" He couldn't bear being himself.
He killed Yann Séguier to become someone else.
[phone rings.]
Hello, gendarmerie.
- [Teddy Bear.]
It's me, Teddy Bear.
- [Hermann.]
Ah, Teddy Bear.
- I screwed up.
- How so? They got away.
They just jumped me.
Yeah.
Any witnesses? Someone saw them on the D8 heading north.
- Are you sure? - Mm.
Fuck, that's all we needed Don't go anywhere, Laurène's on it.
See you later.
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
[dramatic music playing.]
[Hermann over radio.]
Hermann to Laurène.
- [Laurène.]
Yeah, I'm listening.
- They just passed the Voglers' farm.
- You should be able to stop them.
- Okay.
[siren wailing.]
[Siriani.]
Here they are.
[short gasp.]
- Marie! Marie! - [choking.]
[quietly.]
Marie Stop! I told you to stop! Tom Vinoy! [Tom.]
Tom Vinoy's dead! And she'll die too if you don't help her now.
Are you gonna focus on me or are you gonna save her? Save her, goddammit! Save her! Siriani! - Your autoinjector! - [groans.]
- The bees - Give me your autoinjector.
[heavy breathing.]
Relax.
[whispers.]
They only sting when they feel threatened.
They only sting when they feel threatened.
[intense buzzing.]
[music intensifies.]
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[Siriani.]
The gamekeeper found Tom Vinoy's body in the evening.
It was covered in bee stings.
[Delphine.]
As if they'd been hunting him down.
- But that's obviously impossible.
- [Siriani.]
Obviously I was told you kept your composure around the queen.
It was all thanks to you and your tips.
Oh Perhaps I've underestimated you.
People who tell me that usually end up behind bars.
[chuckles.]
I mean, hum It doesn't apply to you [shy laughter.]
So Well Good night.
Yes, good night.
Good night.
[snoring.]
[heavy breathing.]
[gate lock cracks and squeaks open.]
[Jonas.]
Do you believe me now? PLINY'S MEMOIRS [quietly.]
I believe you.
Good.
So you're also aware that you don't have much time.
Verbeck highlighted the important bits, like the one about a sanctuary that the legionary had found.
Ah It's a place where they sacrificed people to please him.
And you think that sanctuary still exists? Jonas [lights buzzes and powers down.]
[strange animal rattling sounds.]
[heavy breathing.]
[lights buzzing.]
[Jonas.]
It's him, he's coming to get me.
Jonas, nothing can happen to you here.
You're safe here.
I'll be right back.
- There's no one here, relax.
- He's coming to get me - [heavy breathing.]
- [strange animal rattling noise.]
[music intensifies.]
- [whooshing.]
- [grunting.]
[strange animal rattling noise.]
[evil groan.]
[Teddy Bear.]
You never called the judge! - What? - About Jonas' transfer I checked, you never called them.
He's still here, right? [grunting and groaning.]
Why won't you trust me? Some of the stuff he says makes sense.
Paul was right, you got no limits.
Don't let me down now I'm so close.
[groaning and shouting.]
[screams.]
[ominous music playing.]
[soft groan.]
[gasps.]
[gloomy music playing.]
Subtitle translation by Thomas Isackson
[playful music playing.]
[groans.]
Don't you think you should move it? What? [stutters.]
The car - Are you in a hurry? - No.
- Is someone expecting you? - No.
So don't fuck with me! I had a bad day And also a bad week.
And a bad year too! Then take your time.
OPEN [toilet flushing.]
Sorry about earlier.
I'm kind of stressed out these days.
Ah, no problem! It happens.
[chuckles.]
Don't worry! [ominous music playing.]
[buzzing.]
[buzzing intensifies.]
[man grunting and shouting.]
Sir? [choking noises.]
[buzzing.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Laurène? Laurène! - What happened? - [Laurène.]
Go upstairs.
- Go upstairs and see.
- [sinister music playing.]
[man breathing heavily and mumbling.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Jonas? - [door screeches.]
- [groans.]
Oh, shit [footsteps coming down stairs.]
[Teddy Bear.]
What's this? And why did you cuff him? I didn't want him to vanish into the wild.
[Teddy Bear sighs.]
All of this is related, Teddy Bear.
Well I hope you're right.
- What did he tell you? - Nothing, he won't talk to me.
- Why is that? - Because he's scared.
- What's he scared of? - Who, not what.
Did you see his scars? He saw him.
[music intensifies.]
[heavy breathing.]
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[gloomy music playing.]
Can you roll down the window? I forgot my autoinjector at the hotel.
Uh, I can't risk getting stung.
That guy got stung about 50 times.
He should make it though.
This is increasingly worrisome.
It's the third time over the past six months.
We can't even piss in peace Did you inform the Major? No, she's not answering her phone.
Neither is Teddy Bear.
But they did send us someone.
- Who? - An environmental inspector.
She'll try to figure out why the bees are going nuts.
- [scoffs.]
- [mutters.]
- I'll bet she's just another nosy bitch.
- [woman.]
Hello.
I'm Delphine Garnier.
The nosy bitch.
Hermann Chief Adjutant Hermann.
And that's the prosecutor in the car.
I mean, Prosecutor Siriani.
Hey, we know each other, don't we? - I beg your pardon? - You also have a room at the Eldorado.
Oh, yes, that's right.
It's weird that we never bumped into each other.
Well, I've seen you.
You're in the room next door.
Oh.
Maybe.
It's possible Hmm.
Do you work for [clears throat.]
the ONCFS or the DTT? For the DREAL, under supervision of the DGPR, of course.
- Of course.
- Of course.
And what about the bees? We'll need to conduct some tests.
They're reacting to something.
- What is it? - [Delphine.]
I don't know Staying in that car won't help us solve it.
[chuckles.]
[sinister music playing.]
This way.
[Jonas.]
Why are you locking me up? I did nothing wrong.
I'm not locking you up.
I'm protecting you.
You're safe in here.
These walls, this grating, they won't stop him.
I'll come back later to check on you.
we'll have a chat, okay? Can you keep an eye on him? I need to find Siriani to talk to him about those bees.
This is really risky.
Do you see another way to make him talk? It's my first solid lead.
Okay, what do we tell the others? If Siriani finds out he's linked to what happened, he'll pull me off the case.
We can say he assaulted me last night.
- That ain't right.
- Please.
[sighs.]
Thank you.
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[Delphine.]
It could be a nervous system disorder, but the tests aren't conclusive.
Unfortunately, we can expect more attacks.
I tried to get hold of the mayor, but he won't answer.
[Siriani sighs.]
Must be celebrating his dad's victory.
Things have been tough for him lately.
But we need to fix the problem.
Gotta stop the bees before they strike again.
[quietly.]
Yes.
There are no apiaries here, we're looking for a wild swarm that could've settled anywhere.
[indistinct talking in background.]
Bees like to be close to a water source.
In the area, there's only Prévost Pond.
- Let's try it, I'll give you a ride.
- No! That won't be necessary All right, all right.
Let's go.
[door clicks open.]
- [Léa.]
Sabine's not here? - No, she went to the city.
I can leave her a message.
No, I just wanted to know if she'd seen Bertrand.
[Laurène.]
I don't think he came by.
[Léa.]
He didn't come home last night.
Then again, it's not like I noticed the difference.
I'm sorry.
It can't be easy for you.
- If there's anything I can do - No.
[sighs.]
He probably needed some time alone.
If anyone sees him, I'll call you.
[Bertrand moaning softly.]
[grunts.]
[breathes heavily.]
[wind rustling.]
[quietly.]
Marion Marion [groaning.]
[sinister music playing.]
[crunching noise upstairs.]
- [metal clanking.]
- [Cora gasps.]
Roman? [indistinct talking.]
[man.]
What the hell are you doing here? [Cora.]
I'm looking for Roman.
I know he got out.
[man.]
Roman's not here.
He's not allowed anywhere near us.
That's the rule.
Don't you know where he is? What do you want, Cora? Hmm? We know you got screwed with the judge.
If you think you can use us to fuck with Gérald Steiner, forget about it.
You're not welcome here anymore.
And you're still doing this? I thought it was over.
No, we're here.
We have instructions to fight back.
[Cora.]
Instructions from whom? - Who's in charge? - [man.]
Nobody knows who it is.
Anyway, it's none of your business.
Go back and play with your bow and arrows.
[Laurène.]
Prévost Pond is two kilometers away.
[Delphine.]
Put this on.
Let's not take any unnecessary risks.
Yeah, I think I'll be supervising this from here.
You're going to lock yourself in your car again? I told you I'm allergic to bees, to pollen - You know, all that stuff.
- Mm.
Here you go.
[quietly.]
Where did you find this guy? They send them to us from time to time.
But this one's hanging on.
[gloomy music playing.]
What? [sinister music playing.]
[Siriani.]
It gets hot in these things, huh? [Teddy Bear.]
I think you look good in it.
A nice change from your suits.
Ferrandis, when we get near the hive, do you mind staying in front of me? [Teddy Bear.]
Sure.
Don't worry, she won't notice you're scared.
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[music intensifies.]
[buzzing.]
[sinister music playing.]
[intense buzzing.]
[panicked breathing.]
[breathes heavily.]
[buzzing.]
[music intensifies.]
[deep breathing.]
[Leila.]
The advanced state of decomposition means he'd been there for a while.
You think the bees killed him? [Leila.]
No.
He's been disfigured, and there are no signs of bee stings.
In fact, it's like the bees swarmed around him to build a hive.
Maybe they wanted us to find him.
Okay.
I'll just pretend you didn't say this, huh? No.
The killer did all the savage stuff post-mortem.
He burned his fingerprints.
He messed up his face, and Check this out.
His teeth are all broken.
He didn't want him identified.
- [Laurène.]
Anything else? - [Leila.]
No, apart from here, on his left elbow One plate and two screws.
[tense music playing.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Yann Séguier.
He's the only guy in Villefranche who got surgery on his elbow.
He has no family left in the region.
[Laurène.]
So, no missing person report.
[Teddy Bear.]
He inherited a house from his dad.
- Can you guess his occupation? - Beekeeper.
Bingo.
What do you guys want? - I'm Major Weiss.
- Adjutant Ferrandis.
Is this Yann Séguier's home? Yeah, he's my man.
Why? What did he do? - We found a body in the forest.
- It could be your boyfriend's.
Really? Yeah, I don't think so, that's my man over here.
I'm sorry, I can't find my wallet anywhere.
[Teddy Bear.]
Any type of ID will do, it's just a quick check.
Maybe it's a bad time.
[Laurène.]
Just bring it to the gendarmerie when you find it.
- It's not in your pickup truck? - No The lady said he could bring it over later.
Hey, Marie, it's okay.
[Yann.]
Would my driver's license do? [Teddy Bear.]
Great.
I was wondering Do you have bees in your hives? Oh, no I never took care of them.
They belonged to my father.
After he passed away, they all left.
Okay, we won't bother you any longer.
- Sorry for the inconvenience.
- [Yann.]
No worries.
He's certainly not the body we found in the forest.
The scar, the hives It couldn't be a coincidence.
I smell something fishy.
Keep digging, but you can't just rely on a hunch.
The pot calling the kettle black.
[chuckles.]
I got work to do tonight.
Paul's gonna be mad at me again.
We need to replace Camille I don't think Hermann's ready.
[Laurène.]
I'll talk to him.
[sinister music playing.]
[soft moaning.]
[voice in wind.]
Marion! [girl screaming in wind.]
Marion! [echoes.]
[Bertrand's voice echoes.]
Marion! [Gaspard.]
You're starting on Monday at 7:30.
[man.]
Thank you, Mr.
Bellan.
Thanks a lot.
Next! [Gaspard.]
My old friend Rudy! Window cleaning.
An internship in a bakery, scooter license.
No experience at all.
- But I'm willing to do anything! - [man snoring.]
Maintenance, data entry I can move furniture.
You see any furniture here? You're not here to snoop around, are you? No, why would I do that? [Gaspard.]
I don't know That's what your girlfriend does, Miss Weiss may have sent a mole to spy on us.
I'm the one who gave you Roman, remember? I just need money, just like everyone else.
I stopped hanging out with Cora All right.
.
[inhales.]
I'll give you a shot.
We always need someone to handle paperwork.
It can't hurt to have a guy - [man snorts.]
- who knows how to read and count.
But I'm warning you If you fuck with us [snapping noise.]
Hm? Next! [melancholic music playing.]
[sobs.]
[sobbing.]
I HOPE YOU'RE OKAY.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY NEWS.
[Laurène.]
You haven't seen Rudy lately? No, not much.
[Laurène.]
You had a fight? I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
CALL ME WHEN YOU CAN.
[Cora.]
No, but We each went our own way.
It's not like it used to be.
Maybe he has a girlfriend Hey, look what I found.
- Scrabble.
- [Laurène.]
Yeah.
We haven't played a game for a while.
We never played Scrabble together.
It was Dad's.
Half the letters are missing.
No big deal! We'll just make smaller words.
You don't need to do this.
I'm exhausted, I'd rather watch a show in my bed.
[smooching.]
Good night.
Good night! [sinister music playing.]
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[heavy breathing.]
[quietly.]
Here.
[quietly.]
Thank you.
[slurping.]
Can you tell me about the man who assaulted you? It wasn't a man who did this.
It was Cercunnos.
The stag god? Just like in your attic Six months ago, I found a stag head at my front door.
The following night, I heard a noise in my barn.
He was waiting for me in the dark.
That's when he did this to me.
Why would he assault you? Why you? I'd been polluting the earth with my pesticides.
I stopped, but now it's the quarry that's ruining the entire region.
Cernunnos will be back to punish us.
I can even tell you when.
On the first day of Samonios, forty nights after the autumnal equinox, the Day of the Dead.
[tense music playing.]
[quietly.]
Jonas We both agree it can't be a god, right? The bees The crows The bleeding trees All the signs are there.
You know it's true.
He saved you in the forest.
What are you talking about? You were dead and he brought you back.
Only a god has that kind of power.
There is no Cernunnos, just a mentally ill guy, that's all.
The book, Pliny's accounts The Romans saw him too, and they paid the price.
- Now it's our turn.
- Enough.
Even if Verbeck was right about the Romans, the guy who assaulted you can't be 2,000 years old.
[somber music playing.]
PLINY'S MEMOIRS [eerie whispering in wind.]
[woman on TV.]
Who is the great man who once said, "We're all worms, but I do believe that" [Paul.]
Do you know this one, Martial? - No, I didn't hear the question - I'll tell you something.
With that type of question, it's either Roosevelt or Churchill.
Always.
[woman on TV.]
Sorry Martine, it was Winston Churchill.
- Booyah! - And let me remind you that You want me to change the channel? No, no Leave it on I'm just thinking about that body we found, in that wild hive Is it the investigation or Laurène? What do you mean? She's been acting weird since she came back.
What she did to the librarian? Baby, this is nonsense.
It was self-defense.
What are you talking about? Yeah All right.
I think that girl's got no limits, is all.
She scares me.
[man on TV.]
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
[woman on TV.]
Bravo.
That was the right answer! Booyah again.
[upbeat music playing.]
[Delphine.]
Settle down, sir.
Come and sit down with me.
There's enough room for both of us.
Rough day, huh - Are you recovering? - I'm okay.
Don't worry about me.
You need to know that bees only sting when they feel threatened.
If that's not the case, they can wander over an entire body without any hostility whatsoever.
[Sabine.]
Bees don't attack people.
They protect themselves from pollution.
Normally, pollution kills them, it doesn't make them aggressive.
[Sabine.]
That's because you don't know Villefranche yet.
In these parts, nature fights back.
Does she really believe that? Sabine is quite a character.
But I do find her quite endearing - [chuckles.]
- And slightly scary [Delphine.]
You should've seen her face when I asked for the cocktail menu.
[shy laugh.]
I know about your vendetta against the Steiners.
Turns out, I have an ax to grind with them too.
- [Siriani.]
Ah.
- Mm.
Many environmental red flags were reported to my department.
And when we wanted to check them, Steiner blocked us.
That's why I was sent here.
Could the red flags you mentioned be linked to toxic waste that was buried in the ground? It's possible.
Do you know anything? I don't have any proof, but I'm convinced it can be found in the storage area.
It's totally illegal.
The problem is all of my search warrant requests were rejected.
Oh.
There you go, it seems like we share a common interest, you and I.
[snickers.]
[car engine struggling to start.]
[suspenseful music playing.]
[buzzing.]
[buzzing intensifies.]
[muffled screaming.]
[music intensifies.]
A vengeful god? We both know it's utter nonsense! The assault traumatized him.
His thoughts are muddled, but the guy he calls Cernunnos is the guy we're after.
He said he'd come back at Samonios, the Day of the Dead.
Even if you're right, we can't keep him forever.
What do you want to do? We can take him to court for an immediate trial.
Get a doctor to look at his wounds and a shrink to check his delusions.
PLINY'S MEMOIRS I don't want the General Inspectorate on my ass.
We got enough shit to deal with as it is.
[knock on door.]
- [Hermann.]
Is Jonas still here? - [Teddy Bear.]
Hm.
What are we, a bed and breakfast? I'm handling his transfer to court, is that okay? [Hermann.]
Ah The bees attacked again last night.
[Laurène.]
I know.
How's your progress with Yann Séguier? We don't have much, but he did lose his papers in February and asked for new ones.
It would've been around the time the guy in the tree died.
[Hermann.]
Yeah.
We did obtain a digital copy of his passport.
[coughs.]
[Teddy Bear.]
Fuck! I don't know who we talked to, but it wasn't Yann Séguier.
[melancholic music playing.]
What are you up to? I'm going into town to get some parts.
Can I come with? I won't be long, go back to bed.
Don't you wanna join me? [car approaching.]
For fuck's sake [Marie.]
What do you want this time? [Laurène.]
Who is your boyfriend, really? Why is the real Yann Séguier dead? [Marie.]
What are you talking about? [sinister music playing.]
[Marie.]
Yann, what the hell is going on? What are you burning? What are you planning to do with this? [Teddy Bear.]
Put it down! [Laurène.]
Put it down.
- [man screaming.]
- Yann! [Marie screams.]
Yann! - So? - He won't talk.
You think he killed Seguier to take his place? He did scar his arm in the right place to cover his tracks.
We found a bag with his stuff inside his truck.
There was also some cash.
I think he was on the run.
[Laurène.]
Why didn't he do that earlier? Well, he wanted to vanish completely.
He cleaned everything up at home.
No fingerprints.
[gloomy music playing.]
This is all we got for bee stings.
We could order more That'll do [footsteps approaching.]
I'm here for my appointment.
Yes, Mr.
Steiner, the doctor will see you.
Yes Your pacemaker, I imagine? Faulty contacts are prone to occur around here.
I'm not alone in dealing with fickle machines.
I'm worried about you though.
Your granddaughter's dead, your son is a wreck, and it's all because of you.
It can't be good for your blood pressure.
You haven't gotten rid of me yet, Mr.
Steiner.
I hope so.
I also think a lot about you, sir.
[Marie.]
I don't get this bull about the corpse.
The man you're living with isn't Yann Séguier.
And he may have killed someone.
You never noticed anything strange? Bullshit.
Yann would never kill anyone! He's a good guy.
- He's the first decent guy I've ever met.
- Why do you say that? I've never been lucky with men.
I'd always go for the wrong guy.
But he's the first one to respect me, the first one to love me for who I really am.
Mm.
He was planning to split this morning.
- Without you.
- [scoffs.]
Bullshit.
[Hermann.]
Oh yeah? What about this? Is that a load of bullshit too? What about this? And this? Ring a bell? For fuck's sake! Your boyfriend did this.
Wake the hell up! Hermann Excuse me.
[Herman sighs.]
He pulled it off.
He burned everything.
- Here you go.
- No thanks.
- [deep sigh.]
- You seem tense.
No more than you.
[Laurène.]
You're right We're all a bit tired.
Maybe we could recruit someone? To replace Camille.
It's not a good time.
- It's been three months.
When will we? - When the time is right.
Goddammit.
We don't even know why she killed Marion.
We'll never know why, Hermann We're all worried about you, you talk to yourself, you mumble at your desk.
I'm perfectly fine, thank you very much.
[tense music playing.]
Laurène? [mysterious music playing.]
[sighs.]
If the bees attacked here, it means the hive moved to the area.
[Siriani.]
The fire department inspected the area but they didn't find anything I don't understand why they keep moving.
It makes no sense.
[snickers.]
You'll get used to it after a while [suspenseful music playing.]
Ms.
Garnier, I'd like to have an opinion about something [Delphine.]
Royal jelly the worker bees make it to feed their queen.
What? The hive is inside a vehicle.
How is that possible? It can happen when the queen gets stuck somewhere That's why the swarm's been moving around.
It's looking for its queen.
I need to see him.
- I'm sorry, can't do.
- I beg you.
I've been with him for months.
We ate together, slept together, had sex together.
I need to talk to him.
I beg you One minute then.
Thanks.
In any case, he won't talk, he hasn't said a word since he got here.
[shaky breathing.]
They all say you did horrible things.
Look me in the eye.
Whether you're Yann Séguier or someone else, I don't care.
[Marie.]
I need to know one thing.
Is it true you wanted to leave me behind? Answer me, please.
I didn't want them to think you were my accomplice.
One day, my car broke down in the area.
And that dude Seguier helped me.
I saw his house, his workshop, it was so remote I don't know what got into me I thought I could vanish and take his place I hadn't planned on meeting you.
Why did you do it? Who even are you? [Teddy Bear.]
Come on, time to go now.
Come with me.
[quietly.]
Come, come.
- Come.
- [music intensifies.]
[tense music playing.]
What are you doing? You're gonna let us both escape.
[Laurène.]
There were fingerprints on that picture we found.
[Hermann.]
Tom Vinoy.
It happened two years ago.
He was driving at night with his wife and daughter.
He fell asleep at the wheel, they both died.
[Laurène.]
Afterwards, he went through depression and exhibited violent behavior.
He was sent to an institution.
[Siriani reads.]
"Self-hate", "violence towards hospital staff," "personality disorders" He couldn't bear being himself.
He killed Yann Séguier to become someone else.
[phone rings.]
Hello, gendarmerie.
- [Teddy Bear.]
It's me, Teddy Bear.
- [Hermann.]
Ah, Teddy Bear.
- I screwed up.
- How so? They got away.
They just jumped me.
Yeah.
Any witnesses? Someone saw them on the D8 heading north.
- Are you sure? - Mm.
Fuck, that's all we needed Don't go anywhere, Laurène's on it.
See you later.
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
[dramatic music playing.]
[Hermann over radio.]
Hermann to Laurène.
- [Laurène.]
Yeah, I'm listening.
- They just passed the Voglers' farm.
- You should be able to stop them.
- Okay.
[siren wailing.]
[Siriani.]
Here they are.
[short gasp.]
- Marie! Marie! - [choking.]
[quietly.]
Marie Stop! I told you to stop! Tom Vinoy! [Tom.]
Tom Vinoy's dead! And she'll die too if you don't help her now.
Are you gonna focus on me or are you gonna save her? Save her, goddammit! Save her! Siriani! - Your autoinjector! - [groans.]
- The bees - Give me your autoinjector.
[heavy breathing.]
Relax.
[whispers.]
They only sting when they feel threatened.
They only sting when they feel threatened.
[intense buzzing.]
[music intensifies.]
[eerie whispering in wind.]
[Siriani.]
The gamekeeper found Tom Vinoy's body in the evening.
It was covered in bee stings.
[Delphine.]
As if they'd been hunting him down.
- But that's obviously impossible.
- [Siriani.]
Obviously I was told you kept your composure around the queen.
It was all thanks to you and your tips.
Oh Perhaps I've underestimated you.
People who tell me that usually end up behind bars.
[chuckles.]
I mean, hum It doesn't apply to you [shy laughter.]
So Well Good night.
Yes, good night.
Good night.
[snoring.]
[heavy breathing.]
[gate lock cracks and squeaks open.]
[Jonas.]
Do you believe me now? PLINY'S MEMOIRS [quietly.]
I believe you.
Good.
So you're also aware that you don't have much time.
Verbeck highlighted the important bits, like the one about a sanctuary that the legionary had found.
Ah It's a place where they sacrificed people to please him.
And you think that sanctuary still exists? Jonas [lights buzzes and powers down.]
[strange animal rattling sounds.]
[heavy breathing.]
[lights buzzing.]
[Jonas.]
It's him, he's coming to get me.
Jonas, nothing can happen to you here.
You're safe here.
I'll be right back.
- There's no one here, relax.
- He's coming to get me - [heavy breathing.]
- [strange animal rattling noise.]
[music intensifies.]
- [whooshing.]
- [grunting.]
[strange animal rattling noise.]
[evil groan.]
[Teddy Bear.]
You never called the judge! - What? - About Jonas' transfer I checked, you never called them.
He's still here, right? [grunting and groaning.]
Why won't you trust me? Some of the stuff he says makes sense.
Paul was right, you got no limits.
Don't let me down now I'm so close.
[groaning and shouting.]
[screams.]
[ominous music playing.]
[soft groan.]
[gasps.]
[gloomy music playing.]
