You're back?

Sorry, I...

You should've called,

I'd have come to get you.

Staying for dinner?

Any news from the police?

They say

the investigation's ongoing,

that it's normal for it to take time.

Normal?

So you think it's normal now?

They've contacted the French police,

who are going to cooperate.

We have to be patient.

It was an accident, Diane.

May I?

You wouldn't have asked,

in any case.

Does it still work?

I should've cancelled

the contract months ago.

I just can't.

I tried to call you

I don't know how many times.

- You just disappeared...

- I was away.

Heard anything new from the police?

- You know it was a woman driving?

- What?

A blonde.

There were two of them in the car,

but the woman was driving.

The man was in the passenger seat.

I went to see the bus driver,

the main witness.

He said the car was big,

like a BMW or a Mercedes.

He wasn't too sure about the

colour, said it was brown-ish.

That's all?

He said it had twin headlights.

It wasn't easy,

but I found four cars

between Lugrin and Evian.

They're not really brown,

but similar, coffee-coloured.

I need to check them out.

No, that's not necessary.

It's not proof.

It's just a few leads.

And what do you think of them?

I think to be sure,

we need to find the car.

FOR SALE:

Hello.

Is it yours?

No, I was just looking.

Hello, I was calling about the car

for sale. I'll call back.

I'm just asking you to go and see

the bus guy and show him the photos.

That's right.

Call me back

when you've spoken to him.

OK.

Dad

Michel...

Are you looking for anything

in particular?

No, no. I was looking

at moisturising creams.

It's for the circles under my eyes.

Exhaustion? Follow me.

You should try this.

It's made with Japanese algae.

We can't boycott them

over Fukushima, can we?

Do you do make-up?

Of course.

Is it for a special occasion?

I just feel like a change.

Well, it's for a wedding.

But I'd like to try it out first.

I'm all yours.

Where are you from?

You don't look familiar.

- I'm Swiss.

- Are you staying here for a few days?

I don't know yet.

And what do you do?

In terms of work?

I'm writing a book.

I'm a writer.

Really?

What kind of books do you write?

Love stories?

And you?

Me?

Do you ever go to Lausanne?

It's the Swiss who come here.

They buy their meat here,

where it's cheaper.

Have you worked here long?

I started when I was 19.

My boss retired in '89.

I took out a loan

and bought her out.

And I worked like mad.

I'm a self-made woman.

You're pretty unusual.

Why do you say that?

Because usually I'm the one

who does the listening.

That little idiot...

Be right back.

Delphine?

Where's my lipstick brush?

Wednesday 25th March.

Is there a problem?

I suddenly got cramp.

Not bad, huh?

I've still got a bit of blusher to apply.

Don't you like it?

It's... it's perfect.

If you don't like it,

we can try something else.

No, no, it's fine.

But I have to go.

I'll pay the bill now.

Is this your car?

Hello.

Was it you who called?

Sorry, it's sold.

I'm sorry to be so insistent.

How much were you offered?

A little less than the asking price.

I might be able to offer more.

It's a fine car.

How old is it?

It's an SL, 1972.

A pretty rare model.

Can I try it out?

- Now?

- Unless it's inconvenient.

You're right.

You have to test-drive a car!

You OK?

You put it in D,

and it moves forward automatically.

Do you work at the Spa?

I give fitness lessons.

Anything related to well-being.

So what do you think?

Not bad, huh?

It might not seem much,

but it's powerful.

Needs taming.

You seem to really love this car.

Why are you selling?

My partner

doesn't like driving it any more.

We've ordered

something smaller, a Golf.

It makes her feel more comfortable.

Accelerate a bit to check it out.

Was the car in an accident?

I saw some work had been done

on the front.

It's just a bit of touching up.

Touching up?

Yes, well, just a bit.

But it's fixed now.

Do you have the bills for the repairs?

I should be able to find them.

In any case, there's already

someone else who's interested.

I'm seeing him again this evening.

Sh*t!

- I'm so sorry. Really I am.

- Couldn't you be more careful?

If you get an estimate,

I'll pay you for it.

Or you could sell it to me.

So did he recognise the car?

He said it looked similar.

OK, so he's not going

to stick his neck out.

I saw her. She runs a beauty salon.

I checked her diary.

She wasn't in Evian on March 25th.

I also saw the car.

It's them. It's all there.

We'll have to get it examined.

If it's the one, you've got them.

Want me to check?

I don't know.

I need to think it over.

Know where I can find

what I asked you about?

Diane, it's me, open the door.

Open the door!

Sorry.

- Looks can be deceptive.

- What?

The lake seems calm, but it's

more dangerous than it looks.

There's been

quite a few drownings here.

It's the Customs.

Don't move.

Hello, it's Hlne Roy, about the car.

Can you call me back?

Wait!

I wanted to thank you.

For what?

Fancy a drink?

Yeah.

You on holiday?

What about you?

Oh, no, I'm a local.

Isn't it obvious?

I'm Vincent.

Are you by yourself?

Are you trying to pick me up?

It was you

who invited me for a drink.

I'm just interested, that's all.

Do you cross the lake often?

It's one way of making a living.

You can find anything

in Switzerland.

- Is it lucrative?

- Not bad.

Especially the surprises.

Another?

Yes.

Thanks.

I wanted to...

I've a favour to ask you.

I'm looking for something.

What is it?

You still want it?

What are you going to do?

Do you know how to use it?

I'll manage.

Will I see you again?

Mum?

Is that you?

I didn't think you'd come back.

I'm sorry.

I had an anxiety attack.

That's artists for you.

You're all so sensitive.

A bit like barometers.

That stuff about a wedding

was nonsense, wasn't it?

Yes.

It was a stupid thing to say.

I needed a bit of TLC and...

- I was ashamed of coming here.

- You're right to come back.

We're all looking for the same thing.

A bit of attention.

Do you have children?

A daughter, yes.

And you?

I thought you did.

You have that maternal look.

By choice?

What does your daughter do?

Nothing.

She's finding herself.

Result:

She's just bumming around.

Look.

This colour is really not bad.

It's rejuvenating.

How do you feel?

Well, a bit nervous.

What are you going to play?

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

You really like that one?

It wasn't my choice.

Apparently it's popular...

Adrienne Beaumont, please.

Nothing to say?

Good luck.

Now the last movement.

Come on.

All the way, Mireille.

That's it.

That's good.

Well done.

See you next time. Goodbye.

I didn't expect to find you here.

I've been watching you. You really

put them through the wringer.

I wanted to apologise again,

about the car.

Why didn't you call me back?

Is the guy buying it then?

He's hesitating,

but I think he'll take it.

He's just trying to haggle on price.
