before dying.

They're here!

Move away!

They were all suffering

of heart condition,

pulmonary troubles

and brain damage.

Code black!

I repeat:
switch to code black.

Stay put during the

duration of the alert.

They shut down everything!

Stay put during the

duration of the alert.

I can't see anything!

Karas!

Karas!

What is it? Who's there?

Ah!

- It's me, quiet!

- They killed the children!

- I heard, calm down.

We're gonna get out of here.

Find them and don't lose them,

understood?

Try to get rid of the girl.

We'll leave at dawn.

We should sleep.

I grew up in the Casbah.

Do you think I've always been a cop?

I have no other choice

than to trust you.

But if you're still hiding something.

Stop!

You're crazy!

I'm not afraid of you.

You're the one afraid

to reveal yourself.

No one is born as a gangster.

You become one,

that's all.

Me, Farfella...

We still were kids.

It was a game for us.

One night...

We were carrying money for someone.

A rival gang trapped us,

they lock us up,

and beat the hell out of us.

Run!

Run!

Run!

Farfella managed to escape.

So, under what charge

do we arrest her?

What the hell is this?

I don't have any other choice.

To protect you.

Having sex with me doesn't

give you any right!

Where is Amiel?

He got a boy,

the funny thing is...

What?

He wanted to call him Karas.

But he got worried it might

bring him bad luck.

Anything on Nakata?

What would you do without me?

Of course,

I didn't tell you anything.

He was Muller's assistant until 2006.

He's the only survivor of the team.

A 93 years old young man.

You came to talk about

Jonas Muller, didn't you?

I don't care about your opinion.

I'm not ashamed of what I did.

You killed all these children.

We did everything we could to save them.

They had progeria.

Nobody killed them, nobody.

These children were doomed.

We tried everything to save them.

Muller couldn't bear it

when his brother died.

He gave up his research,

and destroyed all his work

without hesitating.

The clinic was his redemption.

Ilona was the only one

to understand him.

How do you know Ilona?

She came here for the first time

about a year ago.

She really wanted to

understand Dr Muller's past.

She wanted to understand

the reason of our failure.

What did Avalon do?

They tried everything they could to

convince Muller to keep working.

They offered him a fortune.

Captain...

Do you have the slightest idea

of what Muller's protocole was?

Progeria was just a step,

not a final goal.

Our protocole wasn't complicated.

It was even very simple.

Our goal

was immortality!

Ah, ah! Oh...

What time is it?

- Immortality!

Some results must remain secret.

Really? Why, Jonas?

It's too dangerous.

You're scared.

Go ahead, shoot!

Be done with it and shoot.

When I think I've been

admiring you for all these years!

Do you want me to tell

you what you are?

A coward,

that's what you are.

Don't move!

Where is she, doctor?

Your gun!

Your e-call!

Call some back up.

Karas!

What are you gonna do?

Shoot me?

On your side!

Tie yourself to the guardrail.

She's alive, isn't she?

Yes, unfortunately.

I'm not a murderer.

I couldn't convince her.

I tried to

warn her about those people.

Tell me where she is doctor.

I hear you.

And I understand.

It wasn't easy.

You don't know anything.

You're completely wrong

since the beginning.

Ilona is the danger!

What are you talking about?

Just like me,

She found the answer,

she discovered the secret.

The protocol of immortality!

And Avalon knows it.

I know that you want to save her.

But then you'll give Avalon

unlimited power.

The power of life and death

will belong to them forever.

No!

We're running out of time.

I've been hiding my discovery

from Avalon for 40 years

to save us from hell.

Without death, life has no meaning.

Where is Ilona?

You're not listening.

Ilona isn't just another victim.

If Avalon finds her

we'll all become victims.

No, don't do that!

You're our last hope.

Life is so beautiful,

death will be sweet.

In peace, I'm reborn.

Noooo!

What did he tell you?

What you really are.

Lecturing people

isn't my strong point

but I'm infallible

to smell sons of b*tches.

Despite this talent, a lot of

people die during your investigations.

Dimitri Ostrovski.

Jonas Muller.

Hishiro Nakata.

Don't you know it?

Everything has a price, captain.

The one we earn

or the one we pay.

I'll make sure that

yours is high.

I'll break you.

I originally came

to smash you to bits.

Now I only have to pick them up.

Dr Muller death remain a mystery.

Reserved, he dedicated

his life to the poor.

It's a irretrievable loss...

He fell off

the roof of officer

Karas house.

It may be a suicide.

Captain Karas,

recently suspended,

remains at police disposal.

People disappear around me.

At least we have something in common.

You're not safe with me.

We're gonna make it.

It's just another little scar.

What's going on?

Karas?

The scar!

It's Claus,

Muller's brother.

Oh, my god.

He's alive.

Muller had found

the secret of immortality.

To protect him from Avalon,

he destroyed all his work.

Except one important thing:

Claus himself.

He stole the identity

of dead patients

To allow Claus to live

anonymously for 40 years.

He condemned him to live

trapped in the body of a sick child.

But Ilona discovered his secret.

If Dellenbach finds

llona before me

everything Muller did would

have been useless.

You're not gonna abandon her?

I'll find her.

But she'll have to forget

her previous life.

Promise me to save her.

Promise me.

I promise.

You must hide.

Dellenbach will do anything

to hurt us.

Hmmm, hmmm.

Come back to me safely

or I'll kill you.

After 20 years...

We're finally even.

May the Prophet

be with you, Karas.

Salam aleikum.

I loved him too.

Claus?

I know what you went through.

I grew up alone too.

Jonas took care of me

when I arrived.

He gave me back hope.

He was like a father to me.

I need you, Claus.

Everybody is looking for you.

The video from the subway

security cameras

near Muller's palce.

Carry on.

Our friend gave us

his nicest smile.

Look.

One more time.

Closer.

Stay on him.

Closer.

Stop!

We got him.

Here's his hideout.

Let's go.

I'd rather go alone.

I can't tell you why.

Go back to your family.

Wait, Karas!

Good luck!

Be careful.

Karas!

Where is your captain?

I'm losing patience.

If you have better things to do...

Hmmm...

Your son weighted 3kg at birth.

A beautiful child.

Congratulations.

It would be a shame if

anything bad happened to him.

But rest assured.

Avalon always took care of its children.

It's only the 2 of us now.

Ah!

Claus, I...

Ilona, let go of him!

Let go of him!

He tried to kill me.

But I...

Come with me.

I know who you are.

You killed Muller.

IT's not true.

He was crazy.

He wanted to protect you.

I don't understand.

What do you want?

Let go of me!

But... no!
