Synopsis: In France, the Porter family is slaughtered while camping in the woods and only Claire Porter survives seriously wounded. She reports that her husband Henry and her son Peter have been eaten alive by a strong man. The eremite Talan Gwynek that lives in the woods with his mother is arrested by the police accused of being the killer. The defense attorney Kate Moore is assigned to defend Talan and she comes to the police station with her investigator Eric Sarin and the animal expert Gavin Flemyng to interview Talan. The unwilling police inspector Klaus Pistor is sure that Talan is the murderer but has to let Kate and her team work. There is turmoil in the precinct and Gavin is scratched by Talan. Then they visit Talan's mother Mrs. Gwynek and they learn that Talan has a rare disease. Further, the government wants her lands to dispose nuclear waste and her husband has recently died in car accident. Soon Eric discloses that the death of Mr. Gwynek was suspicious and Pistor was in charge of

Oh,

I haven't seen it.

Sure it's around.

Uh, anyway, um, this condition,

how do we test for it?

It's actually

pretty complicated.

It needs a pretty specialized facility

in order to handle the tests.

There's only one hospital

around here that can handle it.

How does one... Is it genetic?

How does one catch it?

I'm not too sure,

you're gonna...

But, uh,

it's certainly a good start.

Okay, perfect.

We'll request an evaluation for

Talan tomorrow first thing.

Good. Good. Good.

Um...

I'm gonna go home.

Okay.

Kate, do you want...

Do you want to just go grab a drink,

catch up for a second?

Um...

I'm beat. It's just... It's

been a hell of a day, so...

- Okay.

- Okay. All right.

Um, all right.

Good night. Good night.

What the hell

are you doing, man?

What's that?

What are you doing?

Here with her?

What's going on?

Um, look, Eric.

I don't know you,

and you don't know anything

about my relationship with Kate.

Actually, I know a lot about

your relationship with Kate.

I don't give a sh*t about

your personal life, man.

I really don't.

I just hope you're not

trying to win her back here.

We don't need that

kind of distraction.

Right, well, first off, it's

been five years. Mmm-hmm.

Besides,

I'm in a relationship so you can rest easy.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

No, you're not.

You looking into

my private life?

I'm just doing

my job, man.

You mind your

own business, mate.

How do I know

I can trust a man

who steals information for a living?

Mmm.

And actually,

that reminds me,

why is it exactly that you

don't work in the States, Eric?

You should go home.

Oscar!

Oh, by the way,

we received the DNA results,

but, uh, unfortunately,

they were contaminated.

We're relying

on those results.

Of course, we all were.

Right. Are you familiar with the

offer made on the Gwynek land

for federal storage

and nuclear waste?

Of course. Of course, in fact,

I talked to the judge already

and he said

it was irrelevant.

The land dispute complicates

the investigation,

and personally

I agree with him.

Uh-huh.

Oh, I'm still adding it to the dossier.

Well, you know,

that is your right, I know.

But remember this

is a murder case,

not a land dispute. Okay?

Okay, the offer made on the

land would have brought

30 million euros to this community.

That type of motive...

The motive?

Ms. Moore, come on.

Let's remember

who's on trial here.

No one is on trial yet,

Commissaire.

Wow, he didn't want to touch that, did he?

No, he didn't.

Can you get me the police report on...

Talan's father's death.

Got it. Thank you.

Let's go.

Well, I hope you

have strong stomachs.

Oh, God.

You don't have

to be here for this.

Oh, no problem.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Want a glass of water?

No, thank you.

Okay. I'll try and do this

as quick as possible.

Okay...

Bodies have been preserved in a

negative temperature chamber,

so there's minimal

to no decomposition.

Very vicious

clawed attack.

Um, the back

of the skull

has been completely ripped away.

There's also a

discernible bite pattern,

consistent in

a large animal attack.

The left femur being completely exposed.

Bottom jaw's been

completely ripped away.

Also the tongue been partially consumed.

Moving down here

to the femur,

there's evidence

of severe mauling.

Once again,

no evidence of

any type of weaponry

and the same

bite pattern.

An animal did this.

F***ing hell!

Oh!

You okay?

F***ing hell.

Let's take a look

at the boy.

Right.

No.

Okay.

So I had hoped

to bring you some good

news about the DNA,

but the samples were

cross-contaminated.

It's nothing

to worry about.

It was just a mistake

at the lab.

It happens all the time.

And they're running

the new tests now.

But I do have some

good news for you.

We may know the condition

you suffer from.

It's called porphyria.

Did any doctors ever mention this

to you or your family before?

No?

The symptoms of this disease and what

you suffer from are very similar.

And if you

do test positive,

it will help prove that you

were not physically able

to commit

these crimes.

Uh, we'll have to move you to

a hospital for some tests.

Is that something you'd

feel comfortable with?

Yeah?

Okay.

I would like to talk about

the night of the deaths.

Do you remember where

you were that night?

I cannot remember things

when I am sick.

Okay, I understand.

We call those blackouts.

Uh...

I thought I lost that.

It was bent,

but I straightened it.

Thank you, Talan.

It was my father's ring.

I lost my father

not long ago also.

I know how

that feels.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

Is that Talan's

arrest video?

He didn't even

put up a fight.

His father's accident report.

Oh, good.

Pistor investigated this case and

Rineaux was first on the scene.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Single car collision,

no foul play, ruled an accident.

Yeah, but check out

the toxicology report.

He had Phenobarbital

in his system.

He had 15 times any

normal prescribed amount.

Fifteen?

I talked to Mrs. Gwynek.

So she swore that her husband

has no history of drug problems.

No depression problems,

no medical problems at all.

Okay, guys,

do you want to come in here a minute?

I've just sorted through

my findings for the, uh,

Henry Porter examination.

Yeah, uh, so

why didn't Pistor

investigate his death

as a possible homicide?

Money makes people

do strange things.

It certainly does.

Right, so, um,

Henry Porter...

For the bite marks,

first of all, indiscernible.

I can't tell you what

animal they're from.

Um, also, Henry Porter's

skull was crushed

and it takes 1400 PSI

to crush a human skull.

And obviously a human's bite

is maximum 200 pounds.

Good, so not human.

No, no...

Um, so...

Sorry, excuse me

a second.

What's up with him?

I don't know.

F***.

He's a prick is

what's up with him.

Okay.

I mean,

he's an animal expert.

There are thousands of them.

Why him specifically?

'Cause he's best

for the case, Eric.

Is that right?

Yeah.

He can't even tell us

what animal that is.

Let me ask

you something.

You tell him what happened

to me in the States?

What happened?

No! Why, did he

say something?

It wasn't her, mate.

It was me, I found out myself.

It wasn't difficult.

You sold privileged

attorney-client

information for cash.

Solid work.

Cash? You don't know what you're

talking about, all right?

So, please,

shut the f*** up.

Eric.

What's going on?

Did you get sick or what?

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, I think it's just the food here.

Yeah,

France is really known for sh*t food.

Eric.

Oui.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

So, right, anyway, um...

Where was I?

Uh, the bites.

So, it's definitely not human, then?

Oh, yes.

So, no, no.

Uh, no, this was a huge animal.

Good. Oh, my God.

The hospital...

Claire Porter went into

septic shock and died.

Oh, Jesus.

Okay.

So the judge authorized your

request for a medical evaluation.

It seems that you made

an interesting point
