.sorry - .decent -
.Good
what do you want to know?
Just a second, you are not registered
.﻿there
﻿So, the way in which ..You describe the incident with the son
It is worrying for me .for you because we know it is your life
Do you think one can? Writes only from experience?
Come on! Jump
Jump!
Jump! Let's go
Jump! Jump
This leads me to an interesting story...
I decided to put you in the book .what I write, and that's all
.no more. You are in my book
.And yet, I don't know you
What I do know is that I care about you, and that's real
.But still, you should have met me first
.﻿I am real.. in front of you now
.﻿Yes, that's you
..﻿Yes, so, to start inventing
.You need something real first
You say your books mix Always between fact and fiction
This makes us want to discover this from that
Is this your goal?
..What
.Okay, get out
Come on, Snoop, come on!
.﻿Yes, come on. Let's dry you off. You are nice and tidy
No more dirt
What will you write?
.﻿It's Samuel, he works upstairs .my husband
So, what interests you?
What makes you angry? So much that you want to explode?
Forget your thesis and studies
.﻿I don't want to be a writer
It's okay, you don't have to write .Just talk, like we're doing now
Don't you want to follow up with my questions?
.I definitely want to continue. naturally .But we can chat too
We might ask one question each
So no one feels frustrated Like a normal conversation
...Are you really interested in...?
.﻿What do you care about? Come on, sure
I never see anyone, it's me I work here all day
And you came to see me, of course you interest me
.Good
.I'm running
This is one of my favorite things to do
.﻿It makes me high, as if I'm on drugs
What do you know about drugs? - Oh my God!
.﻿This is the next question
.﻿Great topic
Maybe you won't write everything
.﻿Absolutely not
I told you, we should have To do this in Grenoble
.﻿It's okay. I will write your answers
.﻿But I have so many questions Maybe you don't have the time
,,﻿Don't worry about time Time is not the issue here
.Good
...﻿I want to discuss storytelling, for starters
.﻿I don't like sports
This is the first thing
Walking! Yes, maybe. As for running, no
!no
Okay, okay, I get it. !no -
So
...﻿You
It's not really possible anymore Anymore, right?
.﻿Yes, it's complicated
I think we should stop, Zoe
.Good
"You know what? I'll be in Grenoble." Soon, I will call you, what do you think?
.Good

No, please come, I can't Answer all questions
.no
No, it's not moving. Please come now
"Samuel Maleski"
..﻿He was found dead under his chalet
.﻿Turn it over now
.﻿Full shot
.closer
.﻿I will dictate the initial ideas
Write it before the conclusion
Parallel surface abrasions On the hands and forearms
I suggest that the body slipped A distance of a meter or two upon collision
.﻿Before it reaches its final position, lying down
﻿Left temporal hematoedema Related to a fatal brain injury
It refers to a collision with an object that is not sharp in nature
Or a violent blow to the head
The site of infection does not match the site of discovery
So the collision happened before That the body reaches the ground
As a result, it is not possible to determine yet
If the injury was caused .from a collision or blow
We cannot, at this stage Exclude third party involvement
.﻿Then, the usual thing
Cause of death: head trauma
:﻿The legal reason
.Accidentally and/or intentionally
Toxicological analysis is necessary to prove the truth .I finish
Anatomy of a fall
Thank you for coming
.It's really strange, seeing you again like this
.truly
.﻿I didn't realize it was so loud
.Yes
.﻿Come
Have you lived here long?
.﻿Less than two years
Samuel, he grew up here.
..﻿It is
.no
.Good
﻿How.. How will we do this? ..Are you going to ask me some questions, and
I'm really sorry that my French isn't .better than when we met
.no. It's okay in English - .Good -
How many times have you been interrogated?
I was interrogated here once, by the police
And once by the investigating judge
Well, can you tell me? What did you tell them about the day he died?
.Yes of course
I've told them everything since The moment I was with the student
Until the ambulance arrived here
,,﻿I was in the middle of an interview with this girl
Samuel began
Play a song repeatedly To make me angry and make her leave
Is this what you told them that he rose? Playing the song to make you angry?
.﻿No - .no -
I just said he played the song .so loud we had to stop
Because she was recording the interview This is no longer possible
.good
.﻿I want you to be precise
Tell me everything, I mean the way .which you told them exactly
.Yes
So, I told them I finished the interview
And she left
I went upstairs to my bedroom
And at that time I saw him Daniel goes out for a walk.
Wasn't Danielle at school?
No, he only goes for two days A week in Grenoble
how old is he now?
.﻿He's eleven
..And
...So, after the girl left
Samuel came down to see me in my bedroom
We talked a little about what we would do that day
.There was nothing really special
..And
..Then
He went back upstairs to work on .the attic, and I worked a little in bed
Did you write? On your computer?
.﻿Yes, I finished translating
I translate for some newspapers German weekly, for additional money
..and
Yes, I heard him working on the floor Al-Alawi plays his music
...about what I think it should have been
.﻿Ten minutes
Then I put in tampons .ear because I wanted to take a nap
..and
I fell asleep
...and an hour later, I think
...I heard Daniel screaming, and...
One of the earplugs must have been damaged ..I fell, because that woke me up, and...
The music was still playing ...And I ran downstairs, and...
Yes, that's it
I called an ambulance, and they arrived 30 minutes later
.Good
Can I take a look around? - .naturally -
Yes? - .Yes -
Where do you want to start? ...Do I have to explain?
Something? - Yes, maybe -
..﻿Yes. This is the place
.﻿This is where we eat
.Excuse me - .no -
..So
Did he work there?
.﻿Yes, he was secluded in the attic
And when you were taking Nap, it was right above you?
.Yes - .Good -
..So
.﻿He was supposed to work on that later
.﻿We wanted to provide rooms for bed and breakfast
So, did he work there?
.﻿These days, yes
And the window
Do you remember when a car arrived? Is the ambulance open?
.﻿Yes, it was
Was he keeping it open?
..I'm not really sure about that, because...
Sometimes he would air out the room, you know
.﻿Because he wants to get rid of wood dust
Was he reckless? I mean, has he ever taken risks on the job?
No, he was too careful .and precise, and he worked slowly
..﻿Was there any reason for him?
To lean out the window, on ..For example, so that he can call you
Or "Daniel"?
No, when he was working, especially ...When he plays his music, it's more like...
He was isolating himself from the world
So what ever called me Or call "Daniel" from here
...Anyway, with high
..the threshold of the - Window sill -
.﻿Window sill
Was he drinking?
No, he never drank during the day
.Especially when he was working
..my dear
Come, take a shower and get dressed .It's daytime, you have to wake up
.﻿Dear, I know this is hard .And it's hard for me too
.It will be difficult for a while
But we have to try to do it ...things we've done before, because...
Listen, Monica came to see you And I made you tiramisu
.﻿You can't spend the whole day like this without going out
The weather is beautiful outside And Snoop needs to get out, too
Danielle, will you come to eat with us?
.I want to sleep
.﻿Well, eat with us first .Then you can sleep
.I don't understand
No one understands
.﻿We can't understand
.I have to understand
Do you remember the therapist I told you about?
The one I saw when Alan died?
"Monica"
.﻿I would like that
..﻿I would prefer you not to do that
That person helped me a lot
.But he is a child
.﻿Don't confuse things
“I will discuss the matter with Monica
.﻿He has helped children before
Do you want some?
What do you need?
Nothing, I'm fine. .Good -
.Regardless of your doubts, this might help him
.﻿He feels things that we cannot feel
Vincent, an old lawyer friend.
Monica, Daniel's godmother.
.good day - .good day -
.﻿I will call you - Tell me if he eats.
.Yes
Dishes?
.there - .Yes -
.﻿I'm too tired to cry
.This is really ridiculous, I'm so exhausted
Do you want parmesan? - .Yes. Yes excellent -
I don't know where the pepper is. .Don't worry. I'll take care of it -
So, as you know, the autopsy report is inconclusive
About the cause of death
The coroner did not have it .Enough tangible items
..but
What we can defend with
...﻿He fell from the attic window, and with it
.It bounced off the shed roof
He may have hit his head .on the edge somewhere here
Do you see? - .Good -
And then he would have landed on the ground
.﻿Almost here
He seemed to have found the strength To crawl a distance of a meter or two
.﻿before collapsing in this final state
.This explains the blood on the snow
.But there are many problems
First, they found nothing on .surface, nor any DNA
And there are three blood smears here on the wall
This doesn't seem to really match up .impact of the head on the surface
The judge asked an expert to clarify this
When you see this, what do you think?
I don't know, I'm not a smear analyst
.﻿But I know a very good expert
.﻿So I'll get her opinion
There is one last problem for us
That bruise on your arm
It may look like the result of a fight or struggle
!Yes
When did they see her?
They checked me in on that one .tonight, and my sleeve was up
Did you explain this to them immediately?
I know exactly how it happened. Should I show you? - .Yes please -
And here I am in the kitchen, I'm striking My arm is like this all the time
For example, when I move
This is ridiculous, it happened .so several times that week
And I told them that my skin gets marks easily
And they can ask Danielle Because he hears me always crashing
.Good
As you can see, it will be difficult Defense by accidental fall
.﻿Given the height of the window edge
...That's why the investigation is underway
With greater suspicion
...and you
“Suspicious death.”
And you are a helpful witness because .I was the only person there
.Good
.﻿And of course, you are his wife
Now, looking for a stranger to enter
To kill him while you sleep While Daniel was out for a walk
.is a dirty strategy
Samuel had no enemies
Stop! to stop
.﻿I didn't kill him
This is not the issue
.truly
We have to review the character of Samuel
What has he been going through lately?
..Is there anything that seems related to...
Suicide?
.Obviously I've thought about it
But I can't imagine him He jumps with Danielle near him
.﻿I can't even imagine it in my head
.﻿Yes, but that's probably our best defense
I mean, if they accused you
This is our only defense
.But I think it has fallen
.﻿But no one will believe it
.﻿I don't think so
.I need to smoke
"Vinsan"
.﻿There's something I want to tell you
..about six months ago
...I wonder if
Samuel took some pills
I found him passed out drunk on the ground
He vomited. It was very early in the morning
There were some white spots in the vomit
And I remember I was .I wonder if it's pills
truly? - .Yes -
Did you two talk about that?
No, he didn't want to talk about it
Did Daniel see this? - .no -
And you didn't call the doctor? - !no -
No, I didn't realize that Time, but looking at it now
It appears it may have been a suicide attempt
Does anyone know about this? - .no -
.﻿Okay. I will call you back
.Yes - .Good -
﻿.Goodbye
Is the light too bright?
Do you want me to lower the curtains?
.﻿I'm fine
truly? - .Yes -
.Good
You've never told me about your parents' quarrels
What does it mean? I don't really remember any of it
When they start screaming, I prefer to leave
Can you tell me who was usually angrier?
.﻿No
Is that why you left the day your father died?
No, I just felt like walking
Are you telling me that you heard? Your parents were talking when you left?
Do you remember the conversation that took place?
.Kind of, yes. It wasn't a fight
...﻿I couldn't hear the words, but it wasn't
.So you don't know if it's a fight
...﻿Okay. I can say What I heard was not a fight
Danielle, it was the music. ..high, and you were outside
.﻿They were in her bedroom, upstairs
How can you be sure?
I wonder if you can .hear them anyway
.I was directly under the open window
.﻿I know what I've heard
.Good
Is the interrogation over?
How can you be sure? Very far from where you were?
..because I was touched
.duct tape on the firewood store
Duct tape?
,﻿When we moved into the house
Dad put up tissue tape Different everywhere in the house
So that I can find my way - Yes? -
,﻿I don't really need that now But I still touch him
Every piece looks different
.So I will not make a mistake
.﻿I touched the bar of the woodshed
.﻿So I was under the window
.Good
.﻿I wrote down what you told me
.﻿But I didn't say that in French
The volume level is what matters here
The French language is easier for everyone
Helen, start the music.
Did everything go well?
.﻿Yes, nothing special
What do you have this afternoon?
I don't know, I'm tired .I need to work, and then I'll rest
And me, won't you ask me what I'll do?
I imagine you would Continue to work in the attic?
.﻿Stop the music
.﻿Stop
So?
﻿Did you hear something?
Let's repeat that, louder this time
Louder? But I didn't scream at all
The goal of reenactment .is to determine a reliable volume level
Vincent, I never screamed.
.﻿Listen, she didn't speak louder Her son says the voices were quiet
What happened cannot be confirmed. The music doesn't show them
My client did not scream
She won't scream now. Good
,my lady
Please take Mrs. Voeter's place
Come in, please
Play the music
Play the music!
Did everything go well?
.﻿Yes, nothing special
What do you have this afternoon?
I don't know, I'm tired .I need to work, and then I'll rest
And now?
.They repeated again, louder
Did everything go well?
.﻿Yes, nothing special
What do you have this afternoon?
I don't know, I'm tired .I need to work, and then I'll rest
And me, won't you ask me what I'll do?
I imagine you would Continue to work in the attic?
.﻿Stop the music
They heard that now. .Good -
.﻿Good
﻿Do you realize that was ridiculous?
Save me your comments
The voices were quiet, not like this
But as you can see, you couldn't hear them at that level
is not it?
Can we try again? Finally, starting from within?
.﻿In quiet voices again
We will do it
.I was wrong
.Enjoy the music
.﻿This is the tape that I touched. I was inside
.﻿I'm confused about this
That's not what you told us, Daniel
Zoe Solidor saw you leaving. .home after she left
Your mother says she spoke to your father after that
I was confused
You got confused
It's been a tough afternoon, hasn't it?
.﻿I'm angry at myself
...﻿I thought I was sure, and then
But you didn't lie, did you?
.no
.﻿I don't want you to change your memories
You have to tell it exactly as you remember it
.This could never hurt me
.﻿Give me your hand
Good?
What do we do now?
Do you want a drink?
whiskey?
.Come here
.﻿sorry
All I can say is...
.﻿The interrogation is ongoing, and may continue for a while
.﻿Well, she was there for 8 hours
Is she in trouble?
Sandra Voyter's not in trouble.
And she maintains her innocence
.﻿So there will be no confession
You're sure of that, lawyer ..but we heard about the registration
Is it criminalised?
.﻿You're not listening to what I'm saying
Sandra has not been charged Hence there is nothing to condemn her
.﻿The so-called video is a myth so far
Because no one could reach him
So, can you confirm it's a composite video?
No, I'm not confirming anything What I said is completely opposite
If there is nothing new, why the recall?
It seems to me that I have nothing to say
Even for us ourselves, this is incomprehensible .Thanks
..Thank you for coming
To quote the prosecutor's statement
So, Sandra Voyter was charged This morning at 8:30 AM
The investigation revealed elements that justified this decision
.﻿Three elements in particular
Analysis of Mr. Malesky's blood smears
, which was found in the couple's home
It indicates that he may have received a severe blow to the head
.﻿When he was on the second floor balcony
..In addition to that
...the re-enactment that took place three days ago
.﻿It highlighted a number of contradictions
..and finally
A file has been detected in the U SP belongs to Mr. Maleski
And that's all I can say about that for now
It is an audio recording of the couple
.﻿It was recorded the day before his death
As I'm trying to tell you, they don't She can come to sign herself
.﻿Because she is being held in the courtroom
So I, her lawyer, Vincent Renzi, will be there
I'll go get her files
No, I can't come at eleven
Can I be there in 20 minutes?
.Good. Thanks, I'll be there
.﻿We have good news
Judge present this afternoon Not Da Silva, but Pollini
.I'll go to the bank
And a home equity loan?
.﻿Less than we had hoped, they have financial problems
.﻿Credit due, etc
The bank will provide only 50,000
.﻿The bail will definitely be more than 50,000
Her son is a witness
.﻿He will testify in court
Obviously there is a risk It consists of putting pressure on him
And as a result
.﻿Bail is not an option
I'm asking you to put Mrs. Voeter In custody pending investigation
Thank you. The floor is yours, Mrs. Bou Daoud
Your Honor, how can we? We consider it a moving danger
While being responsible for her son?
"Do not leave town" “Accepting a Resident Child Protection Agent at Home”
.﻿This makes no sense at all
Aren't we talking about a visually impaired child?
"Not speaking to her son to ensure testimony without influence" “Conditional release on bail of 68,000 euros.”
And it is in all media
Separating them may lead to... Exacerbating the trauma to which the child was exposed
He had an accident when he was four years old
Which damaged his eyesight
He was in great shock
.﻿Psychologically and emotionally
Mrs. Bou Daoud, what is your comment?
The judge's decision is rare Enough to deserve praise
The referee refuses to submit to repressive reactions
This is a healthy sign, especially in a situation like this
We feel that the release is under judicial supervision
.﻿It confirms the weakness of the case
Is your client comfortable?
This is a rare decision in a murder charge
It reads as a repudiation of Judge Janvier
The reactions in the hallways were violent
And I quote: “This decision is dangerous
The suspect will be brought together with a key witness
“This is a real concern for the upcoming trial
﻿How come you didn't tell me about that?
.﻿I had no idea he had recorded that
Even if he didn't record the video
.﻿You had an argument the day before he died
..this recording
.not reality
.﻿Part of it, maybe
...if you had an extreme moment in life An emotional peak that you focus on
Of course she will crush everything
This may seem irrefutable evidence But in reality it distorts everything
.It's not reality. It's our voices, right But it is not our reality
﻿I don't pay attention What is reality, okay?
..You have to start seeing yourself
The way others will see you
..﻿The trial is not about the truth, it is
I didn't know there was going to be a trial. Well, it happened...
...﻿Now, what really matters is
.﻿Who do you have around you?
.There is no one around me
Yes, there's Daniel. .Yes -
"Daniel is important."
Didn't you have a son, Samuel?
Any friends?
We shouldn't have come here "Not at all. I was very happy in London."
.He was the one who insisted so hard
He said he wouldn't be there .More busyness from work
This will solve our financial problems
I left my shithole in Germany .And I ended up stuck in his shithole
This is ridiculous, isn't it? Come on
.have a nice day - .good day -
Hello, my dear
Well, this is Mrs. Bergé
Appointed by the Minister of Justice
.good day
I'm Vincent Renzi. I work with Nour. .good day -
...will be here regularly, with
With Danielle, and with you
.﻿Frequency will be determined
..and she is here
.﻿To make sure everything is going well
And that no one would try to influence Danielle
Or makes him say things no He wants to say it at the trial
The judge says you should Speak French in her presence
.Yes
.﻿That's it
Can I talk to Danielle alone?
Okay, shall we go?
.﻿I will call you
Your mother will give us space to get to know each other
My name is Marge
We will meet often
Do you realize why I'm here?
Do you mind that?
.﻿You can consider me a friend
Or not. it's your choice
What is your opinion?
...It's okay, I don't
.﻿I don't need to be friends
.﻿Well, I'm actually here to protect your testimony
...They sent me with the law, and...
The law cannot be a friend to a person
Otherwise, he cannot be a friend to another person
The law must be the same for everyone
.So you're right, I can't be your friend
You just have to tell me then There was nothing strange
If there is a problem
,I don't know
For example with your mother
.﻿With regard to the trial
.It makes sense to discuss things like this with my friends
.﻿True
Maybe this time the choice isn't really yours
...with chocolate chips..
...with chocolate chips
...and berries
..and berries
.﻿I know it doesn't exist but I want it
..Know
It doesn't exist, but I want it
..﻿The Archduchess's stockings
Socks...what?
What?
..﻿The Archduchess's stockings
﻿..﻿The Archduchess's stockings
,﻿He was.. He was one of The only people I knew
When he entered the room
Something shifted
.﻿The weather has changed
I think that's magic, right?
..that it
.﻿I fell in love with his charm
I've spent my whole life not I understand my family and friends
...And then he accompanied me, and I felt that
,,﻿I understood what he was saying And the signals he was sending me
We didn't necessarily agree
..but we had it
.﻿We had things to tell each other
.﻿I realized that later, when he was gone
.﻿Don't say he's gone
.﻿Just.. focus on him
How did you meet?
When we met, it had just happened I got a job at a university in London
So, we moved there together
.﻿He was a great teacher
He had a way to make it all happen Something that feels alive and accessible
.It was great
..But
That wasn't really enough
...So
.﻿Deep down, what he really wanted to do was write
He had been working on a novel for years
.﻿I watched him struggle, it was hard
..And
..And I realized
..﻿His relationship with time, and with work, was...
...Complicated, unlike me, for example
No, stop comparing yourself to him
..Just
.Go back to your relationship
Our relationship revolved around intellectual stimulation
.even if it means neglecting everything else
Everything else?
You mean "Daniel"?
.﻿We should mention "Daniel" early
.﻿The accident
...Good. I didn't know it was like this
Good? - .Good -
It's just that I wasn't ..I know it was like that
So, okay
Everything changed after the accident
.﻿Daniel was four
On that day, it was assumed For Samuel to pick him up from school
..but he was busy with his writing, so...
Call a babysitter at .last minute, and it came late
As they crossed the street
Danielle was hit by a motorcycle
.﻿His optic nerve was permanently damaged
...after that
Samuel became obsessed with this matter
.﻿He blamed himself repeatedly
...﻿If only he had gone and brought it in time
.﻿He was overcome with guilt
And perhaps he was never free from this feeling
We spent that entire year in the hospital
With "Daniel."
..We began to face financial problems
Samuel began taking antidepressants
So..can we please keep... Clean reputation, Vincent?
I would really like to protect him and protect him I photographed him and kept Daniel
We will try - .Good -
...But it will be like this, I have to
.Yes - .﻿I have to admit things -
..You have to prepare yourself for...
To tell everything, the challenge is To do this in French
.Good
"After one year"
...Are you really interested in...?
.﻿What do you care about? Come on, sure
I never see anyone, it's me I work here all day
And you came to see me, of course you interest me
..Good
.﻿I'm running
This is one of my favorite things to do
.﻿It makes me high, as if I'm on drugs
What do you know about drugs? - Oh my God!
.﻿This is the next question
.﻿Great topic
Maybe you won't write everything
.no. no. of course no
I told you, we should have To do this in Grenoble
.﻿It's okay
.﻿I will write your answers
.Good
Can you confirm that this is it? Your interview with Mrs. Voeter?
Yes
She refuses to talk about herself .But that's why you came
I'm the one who came to talk about her work. .Yes -
True, but by constantly changing the subject
What was she looking for, you suppose?
.﻿We can hear it. She asks me questions
She seems to enjoy talking about me more than herself
Did she encourage you to talk about yourself?
...incitement
No, I won't say that
.﻿She wasn't playing with me, she was just relaxing
.﻿It felt natural She seems to be enjoying the conversation
“Relaxed,” you say And we hear her offering you wine at 1:45
Had she been drinking before you arrived?
.I think so
Can you tell she did her best?
To make you feel comfortable
More than you expected Interviewing a writer about his work?
.﻿I wouldn't say that, no
Looks like Sandra... Mrs. Voeter
She needed to escape, to relieve the pressure
Escape? - .Yes -
Did you know that “Sandra,” as you call her? Was she bisexual?
.﻿No
Did you feel that moment?
.﻿No
...And hearing the conversation now, after time has passed
Do you call it seduction?
I felt what you told me ..By itself, she didn't have it
Lots of social life, or Many opportunities to talk like this
With new people
I suppose you could name This is a form of seduction
﻿The court needs to know whether You could have called her by that name
Seduction has several meanings
...but the word seduction always refers to some
.﻿Seduction
The witness's answer
Clear enough .about what you mean by seduction
Mrs. Voeter continued By expressing her interest in you
She wanted to do the interview in Grenoble
...didn't you feel?
.﻿You have answered this question
.﻿Not very clearly Please answer, Miss Solidor
﻿Can you call me Mrs.?
I don't like being demoted In the social situation
Of course. That was not my intention
.﻿I did not feel tempted at this moment
Did you ask yourself this question after that?
I found it unusual, nothing more
How did you interpret the song? Operated by Samuel Maleski?
.﻿I felt nervous about the noise
That Mr. Samuel Maleski imposes .His presence without revealing itself
...and Sandra's reaction
What was her reaction?
.﻿She was a little upset
When did the song start again after it ended?
He kept repeating it
...Yes, that's obvious
Good conclusion
But how did you feel at that moment?
This made the situation even more strange
..I felt that my presence had become less
.﻿Less relaxed
So you obviously felt nervous
You make her say that. No, I'm just clarifying.
Did you feel stressed?
Yes
Did you feel that Mr. Maleski... By playing that music
He wanted to disrupt or interrupt your interview?
.That was my first thought, yes
But it is very difficult to read The intentions of someone you cannot see
This is what they pay me to do!
"Sandra Voyter"
.You sought to communicate the character of the interview
﻿Is this true?
This is the main question
.﻿There was no seduction
.﻿My question is about your communication
In the recording, you are friendly And you laugh and drink wine
Were you looking for escape? From the difficult home life
By communicating with this young woman?
Mrs. Voeter was not the one who started the meeting
Answer me, Mrs. Voitre
Yes, I found it surprising
I haven't seen anyone new for a while
.﻿And yes, I needed a drink
This woman was smart and kind, nothing more
That wasn't the interview Enough to build a theory. Try it!
﻿She can laugh with The student whose questions do not excite her
Can you say that music Operated by Mr. Maleski
..very strongly
It indicates that he was jealous of you
Or Miss... Mrs. Solidor? Excuse me
The music was an inauthentic copy For the song "B." any. Mother. B for 50 Cent
.It is a very misogynistic song
.﻿It was a musical version
.answer please
You could cross the selection Is your husband singing a song about his jealousy?
.﻿I can answer
.﻿He often played that song .I doubt that was intentional
..﻿He loved loud music, as it relaxed him, and...
...﻿He installed
How do I say "speaker"? - .phone Speaker -
Powerful speaker...sorry
...﻿He was working a lot, and it was noisy
Mrs. Solidor says you are... You ended the interview for this reason
Is this correct? - .no. She never said that -
..﻿If it is the defense side
You will continue to answer every question like this
.I would be very upset
Mrs. Voeter, answer the question
.﻿The music was very loud
And when I started again
.﻿I realized this thing wasn't going to stop
That made the discussion difficult, okay?
...So, I...
.﻿I preferred to stop
And on top of that, I was tired, yes
..and I felt a little ﻿
.disturbed by wine
However, when you were alone Didn't you ask him to explain his great music?
.﻿As I told you, it was usual
.﻿No. no
You're having fun with an attractive young woman, drinking wine
While he was working hard upstairs .It wasn't the usual thing, nor was it neutral
.﻿He knew you liked women And that you recently cheated on him
Sorry, this is irrelevant
.and sexist
.I would have said the same thing if she were an attractive man
Excuse me, but conflicts These couple are important here. Sorry
.﻿The situation is objectively very strange
You say you went up to your room .Upstairs for work and sleep
To your room, right under the attic With deafening music
That music made the interview impossible
In that big house Why did you choose this place?
.﻿Yes, but it's where I work .I always work in bed
..that it
When Samuel came to talk to you, didn't you complain?
Deafening music is not normal!
.﻿I'm used to it, and I didn't mind
.﻿I wanted to work, and I put plugs on my ears
.﻿It was normal
.﻿You can work in any situation
You said you were tired .and disoriented from the wine
And yet you tell us that you wanted to work?
Yes
And I worked. Not for long
.﻿A translation was to be made
.﻿I wanted to finish it before I had to rest
Like I said, I can work at .Any environment, in any condition
And obviously, you can Comfort anywhere, anytime
.﻿So all was right with the world
.I finished
No more questions
Danielle, that's not what you told us.
Zoe Solidor saw you leaving. .home after she left
.And your mother says she spoke to your father after that
I was confused
You are confused
.Good
"Actually there's a problem, Daniel."
Don't you realize that?
.﻿You can't be in two places at once
.﻿I think I'm back inside the house
The thing that bothers me is the range Make sure before re-enacting
:You said in your statement
“Every piece of tape looks different.”
“I would touch her, and I wouldn't miss.”
"And also" I was directly under the open window
“I know what I heard.”
And finally, during the re-enactment .You said something else entirely
﻿How do you explain that?
...I thought I remembered where I was, but...
Probably the shock of what happened next .made me confused
The psychiatrist who met Danielle
He says that emotional trauma Maybe it changed some memories
Of course
Do you remember now why you came back inside?
...I think I forgot
.﻿My gloves or my phone
But you're not sure?
.﻿I don't remember exactly
So, you've moved on from absolute certainty ...to absolute uncertainty
About your memories of that day
.﻿This is a big problem
You focus on one detail in his memory
.to cast a shadow of doubt over his entire memory
What do you want us to fully believe?
That might have been a shock Turn screaming into quiet sounds?
.You're implying that he lied to protect his mother
.﻿No
.﻿I'm just pointing out the witness's doubts
But we have the right to ask questions
Daniel Maleski says: .He would leave when his parents fought
Whereas on that day, he happened to be going out
.just when a fight is likely to break out
Hence, he did not hear anything
.﻿I didn't happen to go out .I escaped from music
As you can see, he was very accurate in what he heard
.and he never backed down from that
Psychiatrist and visual impairment expert
They both note that memory Daniel's hearing is excellent
..Mrs. Notary Public, show now
﻿The items provided to us by Mr. Balar
.﻿We are listening to you, sir
Well, the crucial element Here are the three bloodstains
Above the firewood store
As shown in the preliminary drawing here
﻿Can we enlarge the firewood store?
Well, they have a typical spot shape .Pre-scattered on top
.It is long and narrow
.﻿The longest one is 4 cm, which is a large number
Therefore, according to our tests
These spots can't land here
...Unless Mr. Maleski gets hit on the head
.﻿While on the second floor balcony
Which means he was leaning over the balcony like that
His head was already very far away When the man was hit
Until the spots fall there in this form
.﻿There is no other explanation
Was the violence of the blow what made it? Mr. Malesky down?
The greatest possibility
,It was a combination of a violent blow
And a deliberate push
﻿You could say that the aggressor He was in a state of extreme anger
To cause a fall after being directed Such a violent blow?
Yes, I would say, it is a state of anger
.It's hard to imagine anything else
.﻿Such situations can increase physical strength
The balcony fence is 1.2 meters high
Which means it's almost here
Mr Maleski was 1.82 meters tall
.﻿And its weight is 85 kilograms
So he pushed him over a barrier like this fence
﻿It would have required a pretty violent push, wouldn't it?
.﻿The entire act was very deliberate
.﻿Such a blow is always intentional
...What I mean by extreme intentionality is
He is very coordinated and methodical
...Based on its weight, we can assume
It was necessary for the master Malesky has to raise his legs to fall.
Which does not suggest anger
No, anger does not exclude will
Maybe it wasn't mr "Pre-balanced" Maleski.
Maybe he fell from the blow
Due to its severity and his unstable situation
...Like I said, we don't have any physical elements
.except for those three spots of blood
Every other possibility must be considered To explain those drops, right?
True, but the only explanation is the one I gave
What you have presented is not an explanation, but a theory
.﻿Actually, there are two theories
.﻿With and without intentional push
According to your theories
What type of thing was used?
,Good. A heavy object, perhaps made of metal
Or dense wood
There is no doubt that it has a sharp edge
Have you checked any of these? Objects in the building?
.﻿You know that no weapon was found
.﻿This is something that is easily eliminated
.Thanks. No further questions
There are two possible explanations for these three spots
Either it came from here, after a hit Violence inflicted on Mr. Maleski
Or it was caused when the skull was struck
With this roof edge
Almost in this place
The first hypothesis is unlikely
.﻿Incompatible with the shape and movement of blood spurts
Therefore, focusing on the second hypothesis
We must take into account ..Recoil resulting from the impact of shock
.﻿On the edge of the roof
I will show you a clip .Video of our field tests
Well, as you can see here in Our re-enactment with the puppet
Such an effect would cause The body turns suddenly
And during this rolling or turning
In a fraction of a second after the collision
These three spots are dropped here
.﻿on this roof
The only correct explanation
It's that Mr. Malesky He fell from the attic window
I think this is the only way
Which made him bounce off the roof
.and is exposed to such an injury
You use the careful phrase, “I think.”
So it's your personal opinion
How do you explain the absence of acid? Nuclear or residual tissue
,at the point of impact, or Bounce, you call it?
.﻿Exactly. I will show you
This is a test we did
.﻿Under similar circumstances
At the time of the incident There was a layer of ice
.﻿Under a thick layer of snow
We see the snow melting rapidly
And we can see
..within an hour and 5 minutes that was all gone
He takes all the remains with him .hidden at the point of impact
.and ends up in blood down here
You call it the hit hypothesis Violence is considered unbearable
﻿Can you call it impossible?
No, but it is highly unlikely ten thirty
As long as it is not impossible, it is possible
Yes, it is also possible .become a head of state one day
.﻿I know the definition of "potential", thank you
.It is unlikely for a certain reason
In your hypothesis, in order to explain the angle
For these three spots
So we have to imagine Mr. Maleski's head
﻿He was leaning out, in the distance About 80 cm from the balcony wall
..This means that the attacker forced him
, to lean back over the void
And he pushed him towards the fence
His entire torso flipped backwards
So the aggressor must To tend to a very great degree
...while carrying a heavy object
.﻿It hits the victim with great momentum
All these elements
In addition to the defendant's body mass
.makes this hypothesis highly improbable
.﻿But it is not impossible
...Listen, Danielle, I asked to see you because...
.You know, especially useful in this case
.I have allowed you to attend the trial so far
..but tomorrow it will be
.﻿Much more complicated
We'll cover some of the annoying details for you
.So I decided that you will not attend
.﻿I think I can hear anything
What?
.﻿I think I can hear anything
truly? - .Yes I'm ready -
You can hear it, but can you bear it?
.﻿We have a mission to do
﻿We need to be .Able to work quietly
.﻿I never disrupted the trial
...not a disruption
This is not the problem
We need to be able To bring the facts frankly
We have to handle everything
.﻿Without fear of harming you psychologically
.﻿I've been hurt before
...and that's why I need...
.I need to hear this, so I can get over it
.﻿Yes, but be careful, the trial is not about your hearing
It's about proving the truth
Without us having to censor ourselves
When has anyone ever censored themselves?
Even if you prevent me from attending
I will know. I will find out what happened
.﻿From television, radio and the Internet
.I'll become obsessed
Mrs. Voitre
You claim that your husband tried Suicide 6 months before his death
You remembered that late .which is very surprising
Can you describe the story in detail?
.Yes
It happened weeks later .slightly after he stopped taking the medication
..I found him lying on the ground
Early in the morning, in his room
...﻿It was
..He had drank too much
.﻿The night before, he had fainted
He vomited, and in the vomit I saw aspirin
The grains had almost melted
..﻿At first I didn't understand what this was, but...
...I found out later
.﻿Empty medicine containers in the kitchen trash
I cleaned everything and put him to bed
,and then
When he felt better
.﻿He didn't want to discuss it
He just said he stopped He took his medications hastily
Did you two have separate bedrooms?
.It was his office, he usually slept there, yes
Good. And what motivated you? To enter his room this early?
.﻿I wake up very early .and he did that sometimes too
We were spending this time together .Sometimes, let's talk
At 6 am?
.﻿Yes, if I see the light on
We had stopped sharing .the bed, but we were very close
..﻿I was often
End the night with him in the office bed
I had gone down to make coffee
..﻿I saw his door open, and...
I saw him lying on the ground
Didn't anyone else know about this? - .no -
.﻿Thank you, you may sit down
..Mr. Attorney General - Did you know that? -
.no
What antidepressant were you prescribed?
Escitalopram, 20 mg daily.
Was stopping an option for him? - .Yes -
About 7 months ago When he died, he wanted to stop taking the medication
So I recommended a gradual plan with weekly checks
Was he having suicidal thoughts?
At all, Samuel was not depressed
...I described Escitalopram as an emotional shield
To help him adapt later The accident his son was exposed to
Could sudden withdrawal lead to... From low dose to suicide attempt?
Listen, anything is possible in theory
But why did he ask me? Help him stop the medication
Then he stopped without my knowledge? This is illogical
Why was this not mentioned in our weekly sessions?
.Good
Have you ever had one of your patients commit suicide?
Or tried to commit suicide?
In French, “to commit suicide” is to do both things
The verb “commit suicide” refers to the attempt and success in it
In order to check logically
﻿Okay, thank you for the language lesson, then?
No patient committed suicide
Aside from Mr. Malesky
.Since we are here to evaluate this question
Anyway
We cannot consider you an expert on suicide
.﻿Failed or succeeded
You said that your husband refused to discuss suicide with you
.Or with anyone else, it seems
Why is that, in your opinion?
.﻿Because he was ashamed
...﻿He had a lot
.It's very complicated Can I change the language please?
.Yes - .Thanks -
.﻿Yes, I think he was ashamed
Samuel had a lot Of the problems related to shyness
.﻿It's complicated
..he
He was frustrated with teaching. It has become a burden
And he wanted to write
He had been working on a novel for years
Before and after the Daniel incident
I read everything he wrote at the time
.I thought he was really good, and I told him so
...But from one day to the next, it was just that
..He couldn't do it anymore, he just stopped, and...
.﻿It made him feel like a coward
..And he began to underestimate himself, and...
He ended up doing it convincingly He himself cannot write
.Because of his dependence on medication
And he wanted to free himself from that
...And he can't, of course, no
.I'm sorry, I'm not finished
..He couldn't talk about the suicide attempt, because...
His feelings of failure were really very painful
.﻿He never talked about it
Not even once
No, he blamed his transformation on Addicted to pills since the first session
This drove him crazy
.﻿He and I decided together
You cannot deny that you are in the center of this equation
Samuel came to see me because he felt guilty
But most likely because you blamed him
..He described your behavior
.as if his testicles were completely removed
..You made him pay
..﻿responsibility for that accident
By forcing him to give up :The most important thing to him
.﻿Writing
.﻿You put him in an emotional vortex
..﻿On the other hand, it is true
You encouraged him to write, and you wanted him to succeed
But if he had done so, he would have .It is unbearable for you
.﻿This is the problem .Maybe it exists in the subconscious
..and.. all the financial and psychological burdens
.﻿resulting from the accident he had to bear
...It's as if you said: “This is your problem
.You are in charge. Deal with it
“I want to free myself from that, to write
Speaking of financial burdens
It was managed before .Mrs. Voiter as much as her husband
We have their account statements .banking, their bills, etc
.﻿I'm also talking about emotional load
.., responsibilities, and a sense of purpose in life
.﻿I'm talking about anxiety
Yes, in those places, poetry "Samuel is unbearably flawed."
What your patients tell you is the truth?
As a psychoanalyst
Haven't you ever wondered if... It was Samuel Maleski
Maybe he needed to imagine an unbearable imbalance
To stop himself from writing?
After a while, I can .I know what is real and what is not real
How lucky you are
.﻿I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm sorry
..But
.,I don't know, you come here
..Well, maybe bring your opinion and tell me
.Who was Samuel, and what we were going through
..But what you say is just...it's just
.﻿A small part of the whole situation
.As you know
..I mean, sometimes
...Sometimes, a couple
...they are in a state of chaos
﻿Everyone gets lost, right?
Sometimes we fight together, sometimes we fight alone
Sometimes we fight against each other .Some, this happens
"I think it's possible" Samuel
He needed to see things ...the way you describe it, however
If only I were seeing a therapist
He could have stood here too and said Very ugly things about Samuel
But would these things be true?
Mrs. Voitre
Did you resent your husband after your son's accident?
..we were both dealing with
.﻿Very mixed feelings, at that time
So, yes or no?
.﻿Yes, for a few days
Daniel was under his watch. For a few days? -
Your son has almost lost his sight
And you only resented him for a few days?
Yes, regarding his responsibility for the accident. Yes
Of course
I mean, maybe the doctor talked earlier Something about the tragic situation
.﻿I immediately refused to see it that way
.﻿I never saw Daniel as disabled
Did you know? I wanted to protect him from this perception
Because once you mark it Child this way, you condemn him
For not seeing his life as his own
While he must feel that this is his best life
Because it's the only life he got
And it is his life
..that it
..﻿reads books. and he
He uses social media Social, like any other child
He plays the piano
.﻿He dreams, cries, and laughs
.﻿He is a very lively child
.﻿He's fine
is not it?
...﻿So maybe.. I am
I resented Samuel because... .He projected his pain onto Daniel, yes
.Thank you
.﻿I want to drink all night
.﻿Yes, me too
.I will drink
To forget - Come on!
..You are the only lawyer
.﻿Okay, again
No, you're the only lawyer I really know
Is that a good reason to put your life in someone's hands?
truly? - No, but you're good too.
.is not it? you are good - truly? -
I don't know - Come on!
.﻿You look like a dog
Excuse me?
No, a beautiful dog.. Did you know?
How do you say that? "Baset"?
Do you say "basset"?
.It's funny that you say that I can't trust someone
.if I can't put an animal's head on it
truly? So what am I?
﻿I'm not sure yet
What?
After all this time
And you still don't know?
.Good
What?
"Vinsan"
"Sandra"
Do you remember me from earlier, when we first met?
.﻿Yes, I remember. naturally
I do not remember. What did I look like?
You were a little lost
.﻿As far as I can remember
.﻿Alone
..and
Ambitious
.﻿And I was hopelessly in love
.﻿I can't remember anything
.Good
But I'm innocent. You know that, right?
.Yes
.﻿I mean really
.﻿I don't really know what you're thinking
I think about a lot of things that I don't tell you
﻿Otherwise, you would have fired me right away
No, Vincent
...In your head, you're thinking
Sometimes when you look at me ,just like now
.I can feel you judging me
.﻿I don't know what you're thinking
Sandra, I believe you.
.﻿I'm not judging you
My love
...﻿I just want you to know one thing
...﻿I'm not
.I'm not a scary person I'm not that monster, you know that?
Everything you hear at trial
...it's just
﻿It's tangled, you know?
..And
.﻿It wasn't like that, you know
..your father
.﻿Your father was my soul mate
.﻿We chose each other, and I loved it
But how does one prove it?
I just wish you were protected from ...all of this. That you could have done
You could do kid things ..to be able to be a little
.kid for a little longer, you know
Stand up!
You can sit down
,We will start
By summoning the chief investigator to the stand
.﻿He insists on that. It's important
You can sit down
.Good
The chief investigator has certainly arrived
.﻿So we'll start with him
Mrs. Notary Public Please view Figure 31
..Mr. Sheriff, also prepare to deliver...
.﻿Copy the recording to the jury
.Good
Lady writer?
What do you expect me to do? .I mean it's part of the job
You have to organize yourself differently
.﻿I will not cancel
The written text of the master's dialogue" “Malyski with Mrs. Voiter
﻿How am I supposed to organize this on my own?
You know it has to We have to plan things together
I won't leave Danielle alone because you're leaving alone
Leave it with Monica, where's the big problem?
Three days a week?
.﻿We have to pay her for that
.﻿We can't afford it financially
.I need time
.Not just a few hours
.I'm talking about blocking time for myself all year
.﻿This won't work for me anymore
.Good
Organize your time differently, it's up to you
When was the last time you helped him? Doing his homework?
.This delicious
.﻿A lot of things you don't care about But I'm talking about time
Dear, the book has just been released .You know very well that it's just this once
"As always." Just this once
Whether you have a book coming out, or you are writing
Or you need a break To know what you want to write
I mean, I've been giving you the wheel for years!
.I can't do anything with my time
do you understand?
It's not my time, it's your time!
Am I forcing you to teach?
Did he force you to homeschool Danielle?
No one is forcing you
If you want more .Time, I never stopped you
Are you really serious?
I have reduced my course load halved to buy more time
This is still not enough
I have to finish the renovation And I deal with everything else
Why do you refuse to talk about it?
Why can't you just confess? That it's worth doing
How to divide things between us?
.﻿Because you are wrong
.﻿I don't owe you anything at any time .I'm doing my part
For God's sake, let's not do that Inventory here, please
Let's relax
.﻿I love you
When you decided to homeschool Danielle
.﻿I told you to pay attention
It is a beautiful and generous choice And I thank you for that
.﻿But you didn't have to do it ...and I told you it would force you
What? - Force me to spend more time with my son? -
.I'm glad I did
I wouldn't have had that relationship .tie me to him today if I didn't do that
Yes, the relationship I don't have I am with him, do you mean that?
I didn't say that, no. .no -
I say maybe
..Just
Maybe things would have been different A little balanced between us
And I want you to look into that Why is this so difficult to discuss?
First, I don't believe in the idea Equality between spouses
It's naive, and frankly frustrating
.Yes
I think discussing this matter is a waste of time
.﻿Given the situation you're really in
All this random talk here And more time wasted
All this wasted time chatting
You could spend it in silence doing whatever you wanted
If only you knew how
.﻿I need time to start writing, just like you
.do it. I don't know
I think writers never stop writing Because they have a son and things to buy
Stop complaining about your schedule crap
And stop blaming me for what I did or didn't do
.﻿I live with you, and I plan my life next to you
If I impose on you what you impose on me
.﻿None of us will be able to write
Don't worry about me, I always manage to write
Great
.amazing
I mean, if you're very confident in yourself .So adapt, that's what I'm asking
.I adapt. I'm taking Danielle to school
Once a week - We have Monica on Tuesdays.
No, Sandra, don't be untruthful
.I'm not. You make me say it - I've given you so much...
.﻿A lot of time, a lot of compromises
I want this time back
And you owe me that! Be fair
I'm sorry, but no. are you crazy?
.﻿I don't owe you anything
.truly
.﻿This is about your relationship with your son
And to protect yourself, because your fear .is what put you in this position
It was your choice to come Come here and start renovating the house
This is your personal predicament! ..well, you're talking...
Your predicament. I'm not taking your time Rather, you are the one who wastes it all alone
.﻿I want things to change now
.﻿I need time to start writing again
Great, do it
If you want me to give you advice, come back To the thing you got rid of
Is this your advice? Should I go back to the book you stole?
.So it's theft now
.Good. We've already discussed that. You gave up
.﻿You took the best idea in the book How am I supposed to get back to her?
Do you realize how ridiculous this is?
You can publish your own version Say you've inspired me
And I will admit it
If there is something that needs to be written Someone has to write it
Did you know? You have animal vision ...You pretend to be committed, but...
..Look at yourself. Even your morals are ridiculous ..what you are doing is ridiculous ethics
Yes, that's really one way To waste more time
.You should be flattered that you have inspired me
That's life, things go around, you know - !Yes -
Yes?
Honestly, I hope you are An inspiration to steal from me
You don't live alone in Your forest, but you impose everything
You impose your rhythm and your use of time
.﻿You even impose your language
Even with the language, I meet you on your playground
.﻿We speak English at home
.I am not on my field, and I do not speak my mother tongue
Neither do I, even though we live here
Yes, it's a compromise actually, you know - .Yes -
.﻿Because I am not French, and you are not German
So we created a compromise, so he wouldn't have to .One of us has to go to the other party's area
.﻿This is the purpose of the English language .It is an intermediate point. You can't blame me for that
.﻿But we live in France. This is our reality
Daniel hears you talking A language that has nothing to do with his life
.Only because you impose it on him, like everything else
We are on your court, all the time
Yes, in your country!
Every day I have to accept that we live in your country
And the people you grew up with They look at me with disdain
.﻿When I don't make the effort to smile at them
Don't you think my stay here counts? Is it like meeting me on your court?
You never smile at anyone. !Yes -
That's why you love me, right?
Because if you want a whore Stupid smile at your friends
.You would have chosen another woman
.You really are never ashamed
.﻿This is a great power
.﻿You don't see anyone except yourself
I see you very clearly It's just that I don't see you as a victim
..You are imposing
The way you live, talk, and eat
.even sex
I can't make you exercise Sex in any other way
Because you expect me to give you the lead This is your idea of a couple
..I don't believe it.. I...
I don't have any prior idea .and I don't care at all about couples, really
..So, you're saying I'm blocking you
.of having sex the way you want
truly? - .Yes -
be honest. Who would refuse? Having sex since the accident?
.﻿You know what I meant earlier
What did I do before? Once I rejected him sexually?
Everything
Everything, well I should I accept that you are having sex with others
.﻿I don't have sex with others
Don't deny it
One time, and you cling to it to feel the suffering
.﻿You practice with others. You cheated on me several times - You portray yourself as a victim all the time!
I am not a victim, I am a betrayed man
He was stolen and betrayed
I can live without sex, but not forever
So you blame me? Am I the one who frustrates you?
..It's not about who
.Who blames whom, or who frustrates whom
Frustration exists, and we both deal with it, you see
Personally, I refuse to rot inside
.﻿So I find solutions
At this point, it was Sex is a matter of personal hygiene!
You impose your solutions Which are solutions for you only
And you never care if this is it It hurts me and Danielle
Leave Danielle out of the game here This isn't about Danielle
I'm not imposing anything on Danielle
You are the one who made us live here among the goats
You are complaining about the life you chose
.﻿You are not a victim
Absolutely!
Your generosity hides something dirtier and meaner
You are unable to face your ambitions And you feel upset with me because of that
But I didn't put you in that place You are in it! I have nothing to do with that
.You don't sacrifice yourself, you say
You chose to sit on the sidelines, because you are afraid
Because your pride makes your head explode
Before you can even come up with the seed of an idea
Then you wake up at 40 And you need someone to blame
And you are the one to blame!
..You're terrified of your damned standards
And your fear of failure
.﻿This is the truth
.﻿You are smart .I know you realize I'm right
And Daniel had nothing to do with it! Stop that!
.﻿You are a monster
Even Daniel says it in his own words
.Retract that, you piece of shit
He's told me countless times how cruel you are Did you know that?
.﻿It tells you what you want to hear
He can feel your guilt, and then try to reassure you
Don't you see that?
You never stopped feeling guilty about him!
.﻿You are cold-hearted
.You have no compassion
Yes, and you have a lot for yourself
I can't take any more of your damned ice!
You're violent! Yes, I am!
﻿..Okay
Can you tell us where you found this recording?
On a USB stick belonging to the victim
He has done several dozen .recordings on his mobile phone
For six months, he recorded moments from his life
.For a literary project, apparently
Did he convert all the recordings to text?
.﻿Yes, except for this last fight
Why does your investigation link this quarrel? And the death of "Samuel Maleski"?
It happened 20 hours apart It contains common themes
.﻿He criticizes her betrayal
Then a beautiful girl comes the next day
Student in the Literature Department
To interview Sandra Voeter about her books
There must have been tension in the air there
...and the two women
You were having fun while he was .Works hard upstairs
It can be seen as a quarrel It was like a prelude to what happened the next day
How do you explain it to the court please? What violent explosions did we hear?
.﻿We hear blows
It was a physical altercation during which she broke out The accused of beating her husband
Well, what makes you Do you come to this conclusion?
Well, it looks like it's in a state .from his extreme anger
Please talk to the court
Excuse me? - Speak directly to the court.
Clearly she was in A state of extreme anger at him
Her last screams at the end Registration is the last step
.﻿Before the violence becomes physical
Confusion is difficult to parse ...which follows, however
We hear blows on the body or face
...and the muffled screams we hear
It's Mr. Malesky
You mentioned the bruises on Mrs. Voeter's body
Show Figure 9, please
Yes, this photo was taken on the day her husband died
How did she justify this?
She initially told us that .It crashed into the kitchen table
We pointed out that the bruise was around her wrist
They looked very much like the effects of a struggle
,﻿Later, when we played the recording for her
She admitted that it had happened at the time
During her short quarrel with her husband
So you admit that you lied?
Yes
..because I am
I was afraid if I mentioned that
Yes, I knew that would make me I was suspicious, and I felt afraid
And you were not surprised that your husband recorded the quarrel
.So you lied twice
Once about the bruises, and once about not mentioning the fight
.﻿For me, it was just one lie
Because if I'm being honest about... .bruises, I would have mentioned the fight
.﻿I didn't want to be seen as guilty
This is what no guilty person would ever want
﻿Can we determine the exact time of bruising?
Well, the doctor checked Mrs. Voeter the next day
It was too late to determine Exactly when did the bruising occur?
..Okay, so it's possible
A second quarrel also occurred Bruises on the day Samuel Maleski died
What do we hear at the end of a quarrel?
The first sound of glass breaking
.I threw a cup at the wall
.﻿It's the wine glass that was on the table
.﻿After that, I went to my husband and slapped him
Then he grabbed my wrist, very violently
That was the argument we could hear
Immediately after that, I tried to stop him From throwing picture frames on the ground
.﻿But I couldn't, so we hear it break
Other than that slap, have you ever hit your husband?
.no
..what we hear next
It's "Samuel" hitting himself Repeatedly in the face and head
.﻿And then he punches the wall
.﻿You can still see the dent
There are a few of these around the house, and these are... .It's not the first time he's done this
.Years ago, he had actually broken his finger
Who punched the wall during a fit of rage
We have pictures of those scratches in the wall on file
.Thank you
.Here it is
An X-ray of a finger Broken Mr. Maleski
Taken in June 2017 At Grenoble Hospital
Is it fair to say
Your depiction of violence is interpretive And not an objective conclusion?
..She lied to us over and over again, so we believed her
...So, it's a matter of belief
Or not to believe
This is a personal opinion
.Based on an ambiguous recording
.﻿You also associate the quarrel with the day of death
With what you call the general “preface”.
Do you have any direct evidence?
.﻿The recording is in fact direct evidence of the quarrel
I mean the day of death
In the absence of witnesses or confessions .We must conclude
...Indeed, this is a fierce battle
.﻿Fictional. It only exists as a fantasy
You are floating the idea
And the public prosecutor floats it
, above or around the facts
Which makes it widespread throughout ...place here in court, however
We risk turning this around Imagination into reality
..Simply because a quarrel had already occurred
The day before Mr. Maleski died
The previous day cannot be replaced by the next day
...We cannot easily fill in the blanks with an assumption
Just because we have one voice in one place but not the other
Mrs. Voyter, did you know that... He registered you before the court told you?
No, but I knew it was often What records moments of our lives
..But didn't he tell you every time?
Why these recordings?
.﻿At first, he mentioned it. Yes
.And after a while, he did this without our knowledge
And record conversations
And Danielle's piano lessons
.﻿And sometimes to himself while he's just talking to himself
I think he did it because he wanted to collect material To help him start writing again
...Now, in hindsight, it seems possible
That he could have brought this up .The battle is just to record it
Wait, are you insinuating that way? That you are the victim of a manipulative man?
Excuse me?
﻿He secretly recorded it. It's true, isn't it?
.﻿You forgot that there is a fundamental flaw in the situation
Now the victim is on trial
Not at all, but my client has a point
Can you explain what he means by betrayal?
How did he discover that?
He flipped through my phone and discovered messages
.﻿From a woman I met at the beginning of that year
You said "I met", what is meant by that here?
.﻿It was sexual, we slept together twice
Twice?
Yes
.﻿In the recording you said once
.﻿That meant with only one person
...Wait. Because he
Samuel mentions many ..Things that happened in the past
.﻿It seems that you were constantly cheating on him
.﻿This is not true
I had some freaks out The year Daniel's accident occurred
.﻿It was not treason, because Samuel knew
You mean he figured it out every time?
No, I told him
.It was a difficult year
Do you want us to believe he didn't mind?
I'm not saying that, I'm saying .that I was honest about it
Your credibility is interesting
But the year he died I stopped being honest, why?
.﻿Things were different
.I felt like it would hurt him a lot at the time
Is it because you harbored feelings for that woman?
No, I felt like it It would hurt him a lot because he was fragile
..And
.﻿Like I said, it was only sexual with her
The person I used to have "His passions were" Samuel
Your emotions are interesting
.﻿I'm just trying to understand
At first, you agreed to an open relationship
Then that changed, right?
I don't even know what that means, I'm sorry. truly? -
No, we never had this kind of agreement
After the accident, we were together trying to feel better
I needed that so we could stay together
.﻿And I was honest about the matter
But then you stopped The state of honesty, so he holds you accountable
.﻿He doesn't seem as "fragile" as you said
Do you admit that he was jealous? - .Yes -
Well, am I getting obsessed?
...﻿No. I don't know
...He felt hurt, that's true. And
Sometimes when we were fighting, he would bring it up
But he wasn't thinking about it the whole time
According to your logic, all problems "Samuel, it was my fault."
this is not true. I mean That his pain came from a deeper place
Sorry, according to his logic You are to blame, as we heard
What does he mean when he says his work was stolen?
No, there was no theft
In the book he gave up, it was ...There is an interesting passage
section? How many pages?
.﻿about 20
﻿.twenty - !Yes -
.It was just a rough draft I thought the idea was great
Can you summarize it?
Is it really necessary to engage in a literary debate?
.﻿This is not literary, but rather sensual
.﻿He is at the heart of their quarrel
I don't know how to present the topic To the jury otherwise
.neither am I
Follow me
.Good
The clip was about a man He imagines what his life would be like
.﻿Without the accident in which his brother died
One day, he wakes up to find himself... In two different realities
One of them, in which the accident is the focus of his life
.﻿On the other hand, that incident never happened
.﻿I told Samuel I loved him
.He made me read everything he wrote at that time
Shortly after, he gave up the entire book
I asked him if I could .Using the idea, he said yes
.no
He couldn't have agreed He calls it theft
.﻿It's a quarrel
People exaggerate and change .facts when they fight
It is not an exaggeration to say that His book became your book: “The Eclipse.”
is not it?
All I took away was this idea
My characters are a woman and her daughter
The story has been developed
.﻿To more than 300 pages
I can't believe I have to tell you The difference between an outline and a novel
He agreed to that
And when he read it, he said I was .I did something completely different with it
Sometimes, yes ...When we were fighting, it came back because...
.﻿He was upset that he couldn't write
The only thing we know here "For certain it is" appeared
...Did that happen?
The two of you argued again after that The evening before his death?
.﻿The situation must have been very tense between you two
..We were
We were both shocked
..We were keeping ourselves to ourselves, and Samuel
.I don't know, something has disappeared
.﻿He was exhausted, his strength was just failing
In the audio recording, I hear "Samuel Maleski is fighting hard."
I hear a man determined to .Reclaiming control of his life
It is in no way possible .Be a man who has decided to surrender
Samuel's psychiatrist said that... He was struggling with himself in his last sessions
Does a person kill himself after a quarrel? For the sake of time and self-respect?
Are you killing yourself yet? Begging fiercely and with all your energy?
For balance and justice in your relationship? .no
This is the main flaw in the suicide theory
“You say he seemed depressed
He has lost his strength
May I read from one of the books? Ms. Voeter's last, "The Black House"?
No, we judge by facts, not books
Your Honor, this will take us down a slippery slope
In 2017, Sandra announced "Woeter" herself, and I'll quote
“All my books are related to my life, and to those in it.”
I register my objection! Always .She always said her work was fantasy
Really?! The first book is about her mother's death
The second is about her dispute with her father
.Third, her son's accident, etc
.﻿Written by part of this trial
Her life is in her And their relationship in particular
Please, but keep it short
This is a wife, talking about her husband
.﻿He's stopped complaining. "I surrendered"
She studied him, and was shocked by his retirement
An idea grew in her mind...the seed of salvation
“The possibility of his death
.﻿Give us the context
﻿And later: “How does one kill?
What about the body? Body weight?
.﻿She couldn't think of anything else
.She saw him dead, his body no longer wanted
...the body she loved - You're trying to drop!
“He was now a roadblock and had to disappear
I will explain the context now
This clip is of a secondary character who is going crazy
She does not act on her thoughts. .no -
A novel is not life The author is not one of its characters
Yes, but the writer can express About herself through her characters
.﻿You have bookmarked this clip
How can we not see the link...?
By this logic, is Stephen King a serial killer?
Did Stephen King's wife die under suspicious circumstances?
Focus on the facts!
Lawyer Renzi, I strongly advise you to calm down
Prosecutor, I advise you first Following Mr. Renzi's advice
.Focus on the facts
..apart from the slap
Which you admitted, have you ever hit your husband? - .no -
No, never? - .never -
Was it the only time? - .Yes -
You have always been a kind and admirable soul
,,﻿Altruistic, and rational
You are trying to save him from himself
Except in this recording? Oh bad luck
Are there any further questions for the witness?
Yes, I have another question, if you'll excuse me
I'd like to know if it's Malesky
Have I sent texts to anyone?
Yes, he sent it to his friend, the publisher Paul Nachez
Who is scheduled to publish his first novel
:﻿Okay, email dated August 9, 2017
"I'm texting you again. I need your opinion." “I am still rude and eager to talk
"Nachez" replied
“.Of course, send and I will read.”
Until the day he died, he was Maleski .He sends four texts a week
How did they communicate about the topic?
The publisher never responded
Obviously it was Busy and confused by the project
..﻿I imagine that his friend was silent
It must have hurt low Mr. Maleski's self-esteem
.So he felt rejected
When we read all the texts he sent
.It is difficult to determine the lines and story
It is, at best, a project
"Malyski" is a "legitimate man."
...His first novel that he abandoned, The Chalet
Since we are required to We combine justice and literature
And to imagine what we do not know
﻿Let's imagine a year The last by Samuel Maleski
Do you see me delving into fantasy?
﻿Give me half the time It took as long as it took to read the content of a book
Take us straight to the point
How was your last year? By "Samuel Maleski"?
After accumulating debts Medical procedures in London
He insisted on returning to his hometown
And renovating the chalet for repair and renting Until they pay off their debts
And stop teaching And start writing full time
Renewal has proven difficult And they have to take a loan
They entered into a vicious circle
.Samuel needs payment for his teaching Renovations are continuing
A year and a half later
.﻿He felt trapped
.﻿He is a wounded man
The incident of his son, and his abandoned novel
.﻿And his wife publishes book after book
Must be written!
So he quit antidepressants and started... .by recording his life all the time
By embarking on a kind of self-imagination
Maybe in a Sandra-inspired way
.Why not? Because they derive it from their lives
.I borrowed his idea
.Save that for solicitation
He signs up, but is rejected beforehand ..to see that his recordings are recorded
It is not considered writing
The silence of his friend, the publisher, humiliates him
What do we hear in the March 4th brawl?
Energy, determination...what are these?
.﻿It is the energy of despair
.﻿It's the last rush before surrender
In his last days, this A man does not face a war over his marriage
.﻿He faces his own failures
...Sandra Voyter's only fault is...
She succeeded, at a time when her husband failed
Contrary to what it seemed, this was not it These are Mr. Renzi's closing arguments
Samuel wasn't like that. .Good -
Today is Friday evening, and in front of us .weekend
Before I adjourn the session, I have something to announce
I decided to call Danielle once Another one to testify on Monday
.﻿He has new information that is interesting to the court
..and since the witness is the accused’s son
And he lives with his mother
.﻿I ask everyone to refrain from contacting him
, and clearly if communication is unavoidable
It is prohibited to discuss the trial matter
Mrs. Bergé
You will stay with Danielle .all weekend
And be sure to respect these rules I dictate
..and I insist that no one does
Absolutely no one can To ask him about his testimony
.Good
.I wish you a good weekend Get some rest
The trial was postponed
Come and get some warmth. Be ready in ten minutes!
Are you well?
..I believe
.﻿I think I want to be alone
.Good
You can eat in your room. .no -
.﻿I want to be alone this weekend
.﻿Before I bear witness
﻿Alone?
Only you and I?
thus?
are you sure?
We can find other solutions. The house is big
.﻿I want her to leave
"Sandra"
I just spoke to Danielle
.﻿He wants to be alone this weekend
.﻿Until the end of the trial
"Danielle!"
Is this what you want?
Well, is that because of what you heard today? ..because I
I couldn't talk to you ..about all of that before, because...
We are not allowed to talk about him
"Sandra"
.﻿There is no talk of a trial
.﻿I know, I just want to talk to my son
Good?
..﻿I completely understand that you need to calm down, but...
﻿I can mind my own business ..private, and I keep it to myself
I won't talk to you if you don't You want. Can we try that?
Don't speak English. "Danielle" -
.﻿You can talk to me directly
Can't we discuss this matter? You and me, and then you can decide?
.I think he has made his decision
.Yes, I'll just get my stuff
Someone said
Of course, money doesn't make you happy
But the crying in the car remains Better than crying on the subway
Who said that?
.I don't know
.﻿Sorry
.Help yourself
.﻿Eat your food
"Snoop"
"Marge!"
Marge, hurry, please!
"Snoop"
What happened?
..lhave
.﻿I gave him aspirin, I made a big mistake
Did you give him aspirin? - Aspirin, yes!
How much did you give him?
Eight or ten pills, I can't remember
"Snoop" - .﻿a lot -
Make him vomit
“Why did you do that?” Snoop
Make him vomit!
!please - Okay, wait a minute.
How do I make a dog vomit?
.I am waiting
We need salt water. I will be right back
.﻿He doesn't move
Come on, Daniel, help me. Help me
.﻿Open his mouth
.lightly. lightly
.Good
!Let's go
!decent
.Good
.decent
.decent. It will happen
What will happen? - He will vomit.
.Good. Good. Good
.Good
.Everything will be fine
.This is good. Good
.﻿Good dog
.Good
.Yes
Yes, he's fine
.﻿He's fine, he's breathing, he's looking at us
Could you explain to me?
...You know, I...
..I have not heard about
My father attempted suicide
..I have not heard about
...contraction, and medicine
.﻿vomiting and aspirin
...When my mother talked about this, I remembered something
.around that time
One morning
.﻿Snoop was lying on my bedroom floor
.﻿Doesn't move. It smelled like vomit
.﻿I thought he had vomited
.﻿I cleaned his mouth
...I thought he was
I don't know, he might have been infected with a virus ...or something like that, because
.He was acting strangely for several days
He was just sleeping or drinking
do you understand? Now I'm thinking .that he probably ate my father's vomit
And that's what made him sick
And my mother told the truth
So I played the experiment with aspirin
.﻿It was to see how he would react
And I saw him
.He slept for 14 hours .Now he drinks all the time
And it smells exactly the same!
In everything!
Everything is exactly the same!
...but since
Since yesterday, I'm not sure .of whether I would believe her or not
...I knew they had a fight, but...
..the matter
...﻿It wasn't
.﻿I didn't think he was that violent
.Good
Your memories are all you are sure of
It is important that you say it to the jury
.﻿But you are just a witness
Do you think she could kill him?
.﻿It is not my right to judge
I know, but can you at least tell me please!
.﻿I can't answer that ..My mission is only to protect you
Hell, help me!
,In reality
...when we lack an element
...to judge something, and the deficiency is unbearable
All we can do is decide
﻿Do you understand?
...﻿To overcome doubt, sometimes we have to
We decide to influence one direction instead of the other
Since you need to believe One thing, but you have two options
.﻿You must choose
So one has to invent a belief?
Well... with some logic
...Does this mean I'm not sure?
And what you're saying is that I should To pretend to be sure?
.no
.﻿No, I'm saying you decide
This is something different
What really amazes me is that we don't We know who is the most poetic
Is it the author or the character? - Both, without a doubt!
Sandra Voyter plays with confusion
Her second book goes even further
She tells how her father He couldn't stand her first story
This is undoubtedly true
The rift worsens, forcing her to leave her country
For fear of her father's anger She falls prey to terrifying visions
Here I found this interesting quote , to worry in one of the interviews. She says
"My job is to cover the tracks."
“So that imagination can destroy reality
Yes, and what actually excites people
On the case of Samuel Maleski
It sounds like it's coming from one of her books
.﻿It seems she had written that before
Even doubts about his death, and the manner of his death
Voeter's character is mysterious and self-centered Unethical and deceptive traits
...and she seems to be exaggerating
.﻿Everything is as readable as her books
.﻿I don't think it matters how he died
The truth is that the idea that the writer killed her husband
.Much more convincing than a teacher killing himself
If I imagined my mother doing it, I wouldn't understand it
..But if I imagined my father
.﻿I think I can understand
Prosecutor, any further questions?
.Good
The experiment on his dog proves nothing
It was not documented
The most problematic are those emotional memories
.﻿which clearly stored what he heard during the trial
No event can be placed in a single form Compelling on our schedule
The time frame is six months Before the death of Samuel Maleski
It comes only from the testimony that The defendant gave it herself
...I would like to know
"Danielle"
Have you ever wondered if the dose... ...the excess that your father supposedly ate
..It may not have resulted from a suicide attempt
It's about your mother trying to poison him?
.I'm not accusing, I'm simply making a point
So, while taking these preparations
Why choose one over the other?
.Your memories talk about consequences, not causes
...Yes, I thought about that, but...
.﻿I don't see any reason for her to do that
It's as if we lack evidence
To make us sure how something happened
We have to look further .so, as does the trial
...when we searched everywhere and still didn't understand
How did it happen?
I think we have to ask why this happened
Thank you, Danielle
﻿Are you finished?
.﻿No
.﻿I want to say something else
Since my dog has been sick for several days My father and I went to the vet
.﻿Dad was really quiet in the car
.﻿He didn't even play the music He had never had it occupied all the time
After a while, he started talking about Snoop
He said
"You know, he can get sick."
And even to die. you know "That. And you have to be prepared."
.﻿I didn't want to hear that
Snoop was getting better. And he was still young
He had never been sick
.﻿I told him he wouldn't die
But he insisted on continuing
“You have to be on,” he said Familiarity with this. It will happen one day
It is not surprising that Snoop is tired
.﻿It is not too small for the dogs' ages
Can you imagine his life?
.﻿It's not just a dog
.﻿He's a great dog
.﻿A distinguished dog
.﻿Think about it, he expects what you want
It predicts your movements
.﻿And it keeps you safe from danger
He spends his life imagining your needs
.﻿And thinking about what you cannot see
Maybe he's tired
.﻿He always cared about others
Maybe one day, it will be over
."This is possible
And I finally remember
“One day,” he finally said to me
When the time comes for him to leave, he will simply leave
.﻿You won't be able to help him Prepare yourself, it will be difficult
“But it won't be the end of your life
.﻿He meant himself
...﻿now
.﻿Now I know he meant himself
.Good
...I ask the jurors to take this into account
.﻿This story is very subjective
In no way can it be Eligible for any form of proof
Yes, Serge, we're still out Courtroom in Grenoble
It was scheduled to end The trial took place on Friday evening
But little Daniel, Sandra Voyter's son
He insisted on testifying .again this morning
...and the jury is still out
"Danielle!"
"Sandra Voyter" ...Mrs. Voitre, what are your feelings?
After you were acquitted?
.﻿There were a lot of words in this trial
.I have nothing more to say
.﻿I want to call my son and go home
Obviously I thank you .Lawyers who always believed in me
Lawyer Renzi, are you comfortable?
I would like to commend the jury
...who saw Sandra Voyter for what she really was
Yes, Marge, I'm Sandra
.﻿Yes, this is unbelievable, we are relieved. Yes
.Yes
..Do
Does Daniel want to talk to me?
Of course, he must be tired
.I understand
..And
Do you mind if I go home tonight?
...﻿Does he prefer tomorrow or...?
.Good
.Good. Good
We'll have dinner, then I'll come back .Home. I'll see you later
.I need a drink
!again
.Good. We agreed
...﻿Does it always
Do you always do this when you win?
..I mean - .﻿We never win -
This is the first time In our lives we are victorious
!no - Yes, of course!
.﻿You told me you were a good lawyer
No, that's not true!
.﻿It's not hot
.﻿You should try this, really
.﻿We ate too much
.I will vomit
A quick cigarette first
.I will be right back
..Okay, now I'm all done
.﻿You first
It's not that easy, is it? - No, it's not easy.
...with all the bones, and
After this, shall we go?
Are you ready to go home?
.﻿I can drive. I can drive you
.﻿One more
.﻿For the road
Of course, for the driver
Okay, same request?
..Can I just have...
.﻿Two more of these? Thanks
.thank you sir
.Thanks
.Good
To you - To you -
.﻿to you
Are you well?
Tell me - ..I -
...I just thought
.I thought I would feel relieved
.﻿This does not come immediately
are you sure?
﻿I'm not sure
It's just, you know When you lose, you lose
It's the worst thing that could happen
...and if you win
..somewhat
.﻿You expect some reward
.But there is no reward
..just the issue
It's just over
Maybe we sometimes expect too much
.﻿Yes, maybe
.Good evening
.﻿Sorry
.﻿He tried to wait, but he fell asleep
.Good
.Yes
.﻿I'll go now
Won't you stay?
No, I'll leave you two
.See you soon - .See you soon -
.﻿I was afraid you would come home
.﻿Me too, I was afraid to go back
