Threatening?

-Were they written in blood?

No.

They were parfumed.

Elegantly written.

I even thought of a woman.

Do you still have them?

-Have what?

Preah, who is next on the list?

Who says that there is still a coam?

Heaven.

Tell me who's next.

Ernest Laffite, the director

of the Hotel of lnvalids.

Wait. I'm coming with you.

What are you doing?

-Leave me alone.

I work for the prefect.

Alright. What did you do on the roof?

-Nothing.

I thought I saw a shadow.

I'm taking her home. She is ill.

Here.

The other two?

-Personal archive.

It isn't a political scheme.

Belmont and Veraldi, that's possible,

but not Laffite.

That they are weapons suppliers, is a coincidence.

They died for the same reason.

Revenge.

A revenge. Well planned.

And the game with the lightning...

That sounds like a kind of

heavenly justice.

But you have also seen

the killer. And the pigeons.

Did you see how he dissapearred in his cloak?

-A magic trick.

Magic, give me a break.

And the mask?

-Also fits with revenge.

I don't think so.

-A mirror.

Almost like the men had to see themselves.

-You're talking nonsense.

I knew them well. They were weird,

but harmless.

Weird? What do you mean by weird?

Is that everything you did?

-They never touched me.

What? You mean they loved

other men?

They loved their appearance,

their body...

their own face.

They loved themselves.

Is that the reason they died?

No idea. That's what Vidocq thought.

He thought there was more to it.

That they knew

too much.

Certainly. Dandy's that dressed up.

The lightning.

A mirrormask.

It can be more easy.

Where did he went to? Vidocq.

No idea. But I do know

that he died because of me.

No, he died because of the investigation.

No. Hij worked alone.

To protect me.

That's why he's dead.

Did you know him for a long time?

Mister Police Officer,

we shall see if you're good.

Find the opening in my rug.

The secret of the Khmer-dancers.

It's being made on the body.

Without buttons or needles.

What kind...

How was your relationship?

-Professional.

We had a professional relationship.

Good. There you go.

Is that a joke?

Tomorrow, same time.

We are wondering

where you're from.

From Santer.

-Never heard of it.

A small village in the Provence.

Did you meet Vidocq?

-No, I wrote him.

He agreed to go through

parts of his biography.

Biography?

-More then just a biography.

A real book.

A massive book about Vidocq.

I have to find the killer

for my last chapter.

This is how I can avenge Vidocq.

Do you admire him?

-I know everything about him.

How he escaped.

How he joined the Police Force.

How he aprehended hundreds of criminals.
