CLOCK STRIKES I imagine you know why we are here, Monsieur le Maire. Captain Mureaux denied a request from Detective Relaud to reopen the Oliver Hughes case. Yes. And I felt if you heard our case in person, perhaps you might reconsider. Years ago, I would go to Le Beffroi, the Belfry Hotel, for a drink after work every night. I would often meet my niece, who worked there, and, uh, we would talk. > About nothing very much, at first, but in time, we came to enjoy our chats a great deal. You know, Chalons Du Bois is a small town. It's not Paris, of course, it's not even Lille, but there was a time that people would pass through here and sometimes they would stay. > And then, uh... Then we became a ghost town. > People would go out of their way to avoid us if they saw us on a map. Le Beffroi closed down, my niece lost her job, and now I see her only rarely, and it's not the same. But I'm sure you still go for that drink after work each day, yes? Yeah, of course. L'Esperance around the corner has Meteor on draught and a billiards table, so` So life goes on for all of us. But not for Mr Hughes. Look. What he has found is real ` evidence of where his son was kept when he was taken. This is the scarf Oliver Hughes was wearing on the day he went missing. We've traced it back to a house in Chalons. (SPEAKS ADDRESS IN FRENCH) If you reopen the case, there is every chance we will find the truth. And, um... And every chance we'll find my son. Please. Uh,... I've lost everything and everyone I ever cared for. This is all I have left. Don't stand in the way. I... I have reviewed the evidence, as did Captain Mureaux, and I see no reason for me to interfere in police matters and insist we reopen some old wounds. We need a forensic team in that basement. We need to see what they find. I am very sorry for you, Mr Hughes. I truly am. But it has been eight years now, and perhaps it's time to leave the past where it belongs. You're not listening to us.
