What's the 2:
20? A train?

Or a horse race. I don't know.

Oof.

Get his photo around

the train stations and race tracks,

and check on the times of trains

and races.

"And they're off."

"..slipping into stride at the tail of the field...

" Well?

Yeah, it's difficult to tell,

but if this is who I think it is,

you see him a lot.

Do you know his name?

No - but he's here every meeting.

Thank you.

Sir.

What's he doing?

Walking through the same areas

as Dead Man.

"..racing on the outside..."

Here you are.

This letter he posted,

was that to you?

No, nothing's arrived.

Then why hasn't his wife reported

him missing? Is she involved?

I don't think so.

He didn't speak of her with any fear.

Drop it.

I don't think this is underworld,

sir. That's exactly what it is,

and we'll never find a thing.

Let them kill each other.

I don't have resources for this.

We've just had a request from

Picardie for assistance with

the farmhouse murders.

Make your entire department

available to Inspector Colombani

and offer him your full,

personal assistance. Is that clear?

I'd like to keep this investigation

going as well.

He has got a link to Paris with this

train journey, and he'll need all

our manpower and experience -

And he'll get it, but -

Good. File that.

Judge Comeliau, good to meet you.

Inspector Colombani.

A good journey?

Yes, it was very quick.

Right, now let's get this down,

please?

If we can be careful.

Ah, good morning. Moers.

Colombani.

Morning. What have you got for me?

This chaise longue is from

the living room

of the farmhouse in Goderville

which was attacked two nights ago.

Is it possible you can tell me

something about the last people who

sat on it? We can give it a try.

I believe a number of people sat

and watched a woman being tortured

and killed.

Can I interrupt?

Excuse me. Hmm.

Put it on the top.

Excuse me, sir.

It's a pleasure to meet you,

Chief Inspector. Colombani.

My whole department is at

your disposal. Thank you.

Except for Inspectors LaPointe

and Janvier

who are helping me with another

investigation for a few days.

Ah. Well, I was hoping that you

would be assisting me mainly.

As soon as I can, I will.

I'm sure you understand.

He wants them over there.

Yes.

I also want all the jewellers and

the silver merchants in Paris

checked out for items stolen from

the Picardie farmhouses.

Here's a list of

all the things taken.

Check the fences, see if anything

connects to the murder victims,

and we need detectives on every

train travelling to Le Havre.

Your job is to find the man who got

off the train at Goderville

at 3:
30 in the morning.

All right, so I've got
