Same MO as the last three victims.
Eye removal.
Tongue cut out. Lacerations to the torso and legs.
Azrael's signature.
If he'll even attack guards...
No, there must be a logic to it.
Where did you find his body?
In the library corridor.
I should have gone with him.
Niemans... Look at me.
It's not your fault, OK?
A phantom is haunting my prison.
A phantom that kills.
That kills without anyone seeing.
Where's the Sun King?
Aydin, did you kill Damien?
Are you Azrael? - Azrael's a soul-stealing demon.
A demon... My arse!
My fucking eyes!
Did you see that?
Azrael killed him!
There's a demon in this prison. He's coming for us next! All of us!
I'm the one stuck in the library but can't any of you see?
A demon didn't kill Aydin, it was them!
Chief superintendent, we must face facts.
Everything points to Niemans.
Inmates and guards included, we have 30 witnesses.
We need to wait for the coroner's report.
There's something more. Niemans wouldn't do this.
Lieutenant... I've known Pierre much longer than you.
Believe me, I share your disbelief.
But as the director says, facts are facts.
And we can't ignore the facts.
Chief superintendent, this is an urgent situation.
My centre is about to explode. What do I do with Niemans?
You lock him up and isolate him. - And then?
I'll try to buy time, but...
If Pierre faces a judge, there's nothing we can do.
What should I do? Continue the case? - I see no other solution.
Mr. Levard, Lieutenant Delaunay will remain under orders from OCCS.
She'll partner with Lieutenant Kleinert.
Give them all necessary access. We must collaborate in this affair.
I think so too, Chief superintendent.
You can count on me and my men.
Thank you.
Camille? Can you cut the loudspeaker?
Yes? - I wasn't told about this case.
Is there anything else I should know?
No. - Get Niemans out of this shit!
We'll discuss this when you're done.
Believe me, this is far from over.
Yes, sir.
I didn't kill him, I swear.
Everyone's accusing you.
Why did you attack Aydin?
Before he died, Damien tried to leave me a message.
He didn't have enough time. I found it on his phone.
He singled out the Sun King.
You assumed Aydin killed Damien, so you wanted to settle the score.
I didn't kill him.
Marek said you're a murderer.
Marek? What? Did he come out of his coma?
Let's say I helped him along.
There are gaps in the German files. And since you won't tell me...
You're investigating me now?
You left me no choice.
Right... Guard!
Niemans... Why did Marek call you?
Tell me the truth, otherwise I can't help you!
The director's expecting you.
I'm on the case officially? - Yes, I arranged it all.
I'll go question Marek. I'd like you to check the CCTV.
What do I look for? - Anything suspicious
between the deaths of Damien and Aydin.
If you spot an angel, call me.
Is Niemans holding up OK?
What did you do to Marek?
Nothing. He woke up.
And you just happened to be there?
You'll do anything.
You should've shared the recordings. - I don't like your methods.
And I need the recordings. - Do you have a warrant?
The investigation is now official.
I'll come back with a warrant.
You're becoming more and more like your partner.
Is it you? The woman who wakes the dead?
You're still alive.
Same can't be said for others.
I imagine Vera told you everything.
That my family is dead?
There's still Vlad and Yuri.
If you want them to live, you need to talk to me.
Who's got it in for you?
Azrael.
I don't believe in angels.
Who wants you dead, Marek?
A whole bunch of people.
Tell me about your attack.
I'll only talk to Niemans.
I don't know what your deal is, but I'll find out.
In the meantime, Niemans is off the case, in a cell.
I'm all you've got.
So, the attack...
It happened a week ago, after the cell fire.
Azrael sent me a message.
A round, green message.
Luka's eye in my dinner.
What did you do? - Nothing. I was scared.
It haunted me, until the night the door to my cell just opened.
Nobody in the corridor? - It was deserted.
Ivan's cell was open. I checked it out.
There, I found his butchered body.
I called Niemans and left a message. That's when the blade...
slashed across my eye.
Then it was just blood and darkness.
He left you alive. Do you know why?
That's what I keep wondering.
You dominated the prison.
They tried to eliminate you.
Aydin tried to take your place, so they killed him.
It's a bit much for just cigs and drugs.
Do you really think that's the reason?
I thought you were smarter.
Why then?
I called Niemans to save my family, full stop.
You still don't see the two are connected.
I thought you were smarter.
Hey, Camille. So?- He keeps boring me with Azrael.
I'm sure there's something more.
Something's hidden, I don't know what yet.
This might explain the cash Franck had.
Yeah... And you?
Nothing. I've watched over half of the tapes.
No sign of Damien. - Can you see Franck?
Don't go anywhere...
Ja. I've got him.
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Put the gun down.
Put it down, scumbag! Otherwise I'll shoot! Now!
That's it, nice and easy...
Franck is dealing methamphetamine.
Yeah...
Easy to make, eight euros a gram to produce, then it sells for 30.
It's a real problem for us. - Same here.
Is all this footage the same?
As you can see, it's fascinating.
I'm making coffee. Can you take over?
Kleinert...
Thanks for being here.
Aydin wasn't beaten to death.
I found a needle in his side. He was injected with something.
You're innocent, Niemans.
Don't smile, Camille.
I'm sure Franck is watching us.
He thinks I'm done for. Best not disappoint him.
Still, this is very good news.
Find out what was in the syringe.
If we find that, we find Azrael.
Sorry I doubted you.
Don't be sorry. Even I doubted myself.
I'll keep digging into Franck. I'll tell you about it later.
I'll get you out, but tell me what happened with Marek.
I know you caught them three years ago.
But you never named the informant who helped you.
Who was the informant? - It was Marek.
Marek ratted out his gang? - Yeah.
He wanted to enter the big leagues.
So he recruited two kids from an inner-city gang.
Yuri, who you know, and Sasha.
He took them under his wing
and cared for them like a father.
The problem was, with each crime, Sasha ended up killing everyone.
A real nutcase.
I was on their trail, in Frankfurt, and I got a call.
From Marek? - Right.
He wanted out of the game.
Marek was sickened by the blood spilled. And he was worried about Sasha.
Sasha was like a son to him. An uncontrollable son.
So he called me and we made a deal, behind the backs of the other guys.
He told you where to find them, you arrest them, end of story.
He sacrificed his gang to protect Sasha.
Exactly.
So I went there, alone, obviously.
But when I went for the arrest, things got out of control.
Sasha defended himself, we got into a fistfight...
And I killed him. It was an accident.
So Marek's call for help...
It was so I could repay my blood debt to him.
Fucking hell, Niemans.
You said it.
I found something on the camera pointing towards the boiler room.
Where Niemans and Damien were attacked? - Right. Someone was moving product.
The same images are looped.
I told Levard. We're going to see him. - No, you go.
I'm going to the infirmary.
OK.
What are you looking for?
If someone took the time to tinker with the camera footage from this area...
then they must have something to hide.
What's in there? - It's a mechanical room.
Why won't it open?
Go on.
Get this door open!
Several syringes have been stolen recently.
But with addicts, that's no surprise.
But we've also seen a scalpel, scissors,
and Cordarone vanish. This is uncommon.
I did let the guards know, but... - When were they stolen?
About two weeks ago.
What's Cordarone?
An anti-arrhythmic, for heart attacks and fibrillations.
It's needed for ageing prison populations.
Is it dangerous? - Fatal in massive doses.
It affects electricity in the heart.
An overdose will cause heart attacks.
It can also affect vision. - Like blindness?
It depends on the dose, but yes.
Where do you store it? - In that cupboard.
You need a special tag. Only the doctor, Vera, and I have one.
Do you keep an access register?
Here.
Vera Leroy...
Drugs...
They don't come in.
They're sent out.
All this is a lab that produces methamphetamine.
Your model prison hides a lucrative business.
What's going on here?
Five murders, an officer behind bars, and now this?
A secret drugs lab? In my prison?!
I devoted my life to this place!
And this is the result!
They're producing drugs here. - What?
There's a hidden lab near the basement boiler room.
Aydin's gang and Marek's were fighting to control the business.
Franck must've got rid of people in order to take over the whole thing.
OK.
And I think Vera stole the drugs that Aydin was injected with.
Was she with Franck from the start?
But it was her who put me on Azrael's trail.
Then question her.
No, I still need to understand a few things.
We'll see her tomorrow.
Stop...
Stop!
I'd avoid any sudden movements. My guys are nervous.
So, you're making a getaway?
What do you want?
To get rid of you. Like the others.
Sorry, I don't have much time to play at being Azrael.
You're bluffing, Franck. You're full of it.
You think so? - Yeah, I think so.
You know, your little Damien...
He cried like a baby when I killed him.
Crying for his mother...
What's your plan? It's just you, me, and my guys here.
Niemans!
Guys, the guy who killed Aydin is trying to get away!
Hear that, Niemans? Wherever you go, we'll get you!
Die! Die! - Fucking idiots...
Die! Die! Die!
Die!
Piece of shit! - If I see you, I'll kill you!
You got lucky this time.
Next time, I won't miss my chance... Let's go.
Use this opportunity to find Marek's recordings.
Or something linking Vera to Franck. - All right.
Kleinert!
It was her in the morgue.
What's her role in this? I don't get it. - Me neither.
She's been playing me from the start.
I've found something.
"Marek Volsnic".
Someone got here before us.
Or Vera hid them somewhere else.
Did you check the office? - Not yet.
Oh scheisse...
Oh shit...
They slit her carotid artery.
That isn't Azrael's MO.
Vera must have discovered that Marek's recordings had vanished.
She knew too much. That's why they killed her.
Come on.
It's almost time, Niemans.
Prepare yourself.
Hey, guys! It's open-doors day!
Franck, what's going on?
Franck, answer me!
Vera's been murdered?
Why?
She had nothing to do with this.
All the recordings of your sessions were stolen.
Vera was killed because of you, Marek.
Because of what you told her.
They slit her carotid artery.
She bled out in her office. Where you told her about your life.
Hey, cop. This is the wrong way.
I need to make a call. - Here's a mobile.
Thanks.
Yes? - It's a war-zone. Send in the cavalry.
Niemans? - Franck has opened all the cells.
He wants to kill me and get rid of Vlad and Yuri.
OK, hide somewhere safe. - OK.
I'll be right there. - Thanks. Where's Yuri and Vlad?
Don't move.
Give me your gun.
Hand it over!
No funny business. Let's go.
Put down your gun.
Step back.
Back... Back!
Close the door.
Vlad! Vlad!
Oh shit...
Shit...
Where's your car? - Over there.
Go on. Move!
Give me the keys. - You won't escape, Marek.
I'm not, I'm going to Gordheim.
What? - I'm going to kill Azrael.
I'm going with you.
I can't leave Niemans.
You drive.
Sasha was like a son to me. I wanted to save him.
Even if it was behind bars. Niemans gave me his word.
We weren't on the same team, but we respected each other...
My children.
My children...
Azrael is Franck? - No, Franck's just a scumbag.
I created Azrael.
Hey, wake up.
Are you back with us?
You've really pissed everything up the wall, Franck.
You should be proud. - A solid pretext
to get rid of Superintendent Niemans.
Things were much simpler before you stuck your nose in.
Acting like the angel of death to cover up your murders...
It's funny. It's not your style.
It's a bit too subtle for you. - I'm not Azrael, you moron.
When I figured out he wanted to kill Marek's lot, I let him.
It suited me fine. This meant more business.
Everyone who fucked with me, I'd kill them like Azrael would.
Your little Damien. Aydin, who was getting too greedy.
All killed by a demon.
Do you know who Azrael is? - No, and I don't care.
Fuck Azrael.
Fuck everyone in here.
Fuck Levard, with his dumb principles.
And above all, fuck you, Niemans.
Fuck you.
Stay back or I'll kill him!
Oh, fuck...
Is it you, Yuri?
Is it you?
Is it you?!
Yuri?
When you told me how Vera died, I figured it out.
Her carotid artery...
That was the signature of Sasha and Yuri's gang.
So Yuri wants revenge for Sasha's death.
Why now?
He knew nothing. He just heard Vera's recordings.
He found out about my pact with Niemans.
It drove him mad.
He took on the mantle of Azrael and decided to avenge Sasha.
I loved Sasha. But he wouldn't listen to me.
He had gone mad.
There was nothing I could do. He needed to be locked up.
So I called him... - Who? Who did you call?
Niemans, the cop.
Your fucking pact... You know, I was worried for him.
For Marek. He had changed. He wasn't the same.
And then one day...
I saw him leaving the shrink's office.
Him, seeing the shrink!
What was he telling her?
Then, I had a doubt. A bad feeling.
You stole the recordings. - All those years in the slammer...
I thought that Sasha, my brother,
had died as a warrior, gun in hand. I felt reassured by that.
Then, I found out the truth.
Marek offered him up and you killed him like a dog!
It was an accident!
Marek couldn't have known... - He betrayed us!
Fuck...
So you stuck wings on your back just to play at being Azrael
and wipe out the gang? They were your friends, Yuri.
Your friends!
Marek took my brother, so I decided to massacre his family.
I wanted him to be afraid of death. To think he was hunted by a demon.
Did you know he'd call me? - He had done it before, right?
You owe him a blood debt.
How else could I get the famous Superintendent Niemans here?
The psycho specialist!
Sorry, but I'll start with your eyes. That way, it'll last longer.
Azrael is meticulous.
I'm all right...
All right?
Never a dull moment with you, Delaunay. - Didn't you know that already?
Will you call again in two years?
Will you pick up?
So...
Was it a love story or just work?
A bit of both.
And you and your demons? Is it all over or are there more?
A bit of both.
Right, let's go.
