1995: Dumont questions Pellegrini's insurance timing
Flashback. A young Inspector Dumont asks why the necklace was insured for more right before it vanished, and notes Diop does not fit any profile.
Your name is everywhere: Assane confronts Dumont with the file
Deposition, report, autopsy, all signed Dumont. Assane tears apart the 1995 investigation and demands to know why Babakar was framed.
How much does a commissioner make?
Assane lays out Dumont's secret income from a coke dealer and a trafficker, and threatens to tell not Internal Affairs but his wife.
Dumont breaks: the money was for my kids
With his wife on the line, Dumont admits taking bribes for his children and says Babakar, broke and raising a son, did the same.

Claire catches Assane forgetting their son's birthday again, sees through his paperwork excuse and asks him to stay safe. Exes, still friends.

The new kid steps in when boys harass Claire in class. She thanks him with a lecture on barbarians, knights and why both drive her crazy.
The deepfake and the question: why did you frame my dad?
Assane shows Dumont a fake video of himself and threatens worse. Pushed too far, he blurts out who he is, and Dumont finally recognises him.
Dumont asks Assane for forgiveness
Dumont remembers the boy he spoke harshly to, apologises, claims innocence and begs to be untied so he can see his family.

Young Assane explains why he loves Lupin, loses his cool with the bullies, then gets patched up by Claire and told he is the man of her dreams, technically.
The van was a decoy: Guédira says it is Lupin
The raid at Pantin finds a hired driver and a phone. Guédira guesses the kidnapper never left City Hall, because that is what Arsène Lupin does.

Reading Lupin again, young Assane tells Claire there is a third kind of guy beyond barbarian and knight, and they agree to always be there for each other.
