school him at home.

I take it you taught

Talan English as well?

Yeah, but he speaks

much better than me.

He's very smart.

Mrs. Gwynek,

your accent is Eastern European.

It's Moldavian?

Uh, Romanian.

I was born there,

but we moved to France when I was young.

We had family

all over Europe.

Not so much anymore,

but we still remember.

Do you see me?

And this is your mother?

Oh, Mama.

She's beautiful.

And what about

this gentleman here?

Oh, was my uncle,

Tavis.

He had the same

condition as Talan,

only he died before it became too severe,

in the war.

Uh,

what can you tell us about this condition?

Well, it's sometimes passed

down to the men in our family.

Their bones too long and

too weak for their bodies.

- Has there been any official

diagnosis too? - No.

No, no one's ever

been able to help.

We tried, but...

I'm sure you did

all you could.

Yeah.

What was it like

for Talan growing up?

He spent the most time

with his father.

He died last year.

I'm so sorry

to hear that.

Mrs. Gwynek, um,

if you don't mind,

would you speak about

what happened there?

It was a car accident.

Uh, he was just

driving home late,

lost control...

Mmm.

That must have been

very hard on you.

It was hardest on Talan.

Mrs. Gwynek,

I'm having a really hard time understanding

why they've decided

to target Talan.

Do you know why they are

convinced that he's guilty?

Our land.

Your land?

Mmm.

They've always

wanted this land.

If I give up my land,

will they give me back my boy?

Holy sh*t!

Hang on.

What is it? You okay?

What is it? No!

"Killer." It says "Killer."

No!

No, he's not killer!

Please, please, people need to know that!

No!

He's no monster!

People need to

know that, please!

- We're gonna help him.

- We're gonna help him.

So,

the government wanted

to turn the Gwynek's land into a

storage site for nuclear waste,

which would have given the

town a sizeable contract,

but the

Gwyneks refused.

What's so special

about their land?

The clay down there

is extremely dense,

which makes it

safe for storage.

For nuclear waste?

Yeah.

I mean, nuclear energy

powers about 80% of France,

so their land is unique.

Valuable, I bet.

How much was the contract?

Um, about

30 million euros.

It also says here

that Klaus Pistor

is on a committee trying

to win that contract.

You think he had

anything to gain?

That's a lot of money.

Especially down there.

You thinking about

his father's death?

Yeah, I am.

Yeah, me too.

I just remember...

Kate! Eric!

...screaming.

I just, uh...

I was speaking to a doctor friend

of mine from Oxford and, um...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Um, we were discussing Talan's
