review by
Mike Haberfelner

Assane (Omar Sy) tracks down the person he figures is ideal to help him take down Pellegrini (Hervé Pierre), the man he thinks responsible for the suicide of his father: Fabienne Beriot (Anne Benoît), a disgraced journalist who had been investigating Pellegrini many moons ago, but gotten too close to the truth so Pellegrini destroyed her career. Thing is, Fabienne has lost her spark since, and at first is less than thrilled about the thought of bringing her nemesis down after all these years. But by the by her instincts awaken, and she directs Assane to steal a certain videotape from the archives of the newspaper that proves that Pellegrini was actually behind a terrorist attack of the French embassy in Malaysia a couple of decades back. So Assane teases portions of the video on Twitter, then in the guise of a conspiracy theorist goes onto an infotainment show to show the whole tape. But alas, the show's infiltrated by Pellegrini's men, thus the tape is edited to paint a different picture of what Assane wanted to reveal, and Assane has to make a hasty escape to not fall into the clutches of Pellegrini's men. Meanwhile, Fabienne is threatened to give up Assane's adress, and when she refuses, she's hanged, making Assane's defeat complete ...

 

Frankly, not a high point in the series. That said, I love the ending that shows that not even Assane is infallible - it's just, the way to this ending seems rather pedestrian, the ingenuity of Assane's plans, that's pretty much the backbone of the show, is lacking here, he seems to be played by Pellegrini without even putting up much of a fight. Sure, it succeeds in increasing the stakes for the next episode, it could have just been done in a more elegant way.
