Vise le coeur - Season 2

The body of an examining magistrate is found in the Bois de Saint-Cloud, poisoned with aconite, an extremely toxic flower commonly known as "wolfsbane." Novak is certain that the victim's profession led to his death. The tale of the wolfsbane plant troubles Julia, especially as other elements of the investigation recall the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Despite initial disagreements, Julia and Novak converge in their deductions, and hand in hand, they embark on this investigation, more united than ever. However, this doesn't prevent Novak from simultaneously conducting a personal investigation into Julia. Since the revelations about their breakup 25 years ago, Novak has been obsessed with what Julia told him. He attempts by all means to discover the secret that kept her away from her friends and family when she was 18.

Simone, 65 years old, is found dead at her home during an operation led by Raphaël and his narcotics team. Indeed, Simone is part of the network of "drug-dealing grannies." Is her murder simply linked to her involvement in the drug trade? The staging of the body in a semblance of prayer suggests otherwise. Julia and Novak's team is called in to try to solve this mystery. This joint investigation between the narcotics team and the criminal investigation unit will reignite rivalries between the two men in Julia's life. It's challenging to keep a cool head in this mix of emotions. Between nostalgia and regret, this episode will be rich in revelations, and who knows, it might give Novak the keys to understanding Julia's past.

A disturbing house becomes the scene of a horrific family homicide. The father and two children are found dead, while the mother is missing. Julia and Novak are called in to solve this case. When the mother is found wandering in the woods, she has no memory of the murders and accuses the house of being responsible. Is she insane? Is this house truly haunted? As the investigation unfolds, suspicion, a medium, and family drama bring tensions between our two heroes to the surface. Julia recognizes similarities in this case with the modus operandi of Malherbe, the serial killer who has haunted her father for years. She fears that this killer may be back. In this atmosphere, the atmosphere at the police department has never been more turbulent.

The Homicide team is called to the medical school. A woman's body, with signs of a blow suggesting murder, is mistakenly among the bodies donated for science. The unknown woman's body was placed there by the killer. But who? Someone who undoubtedly had access to the medical school. And who is this woman, without any belongings, nothing to identify her? Julia and Novak will redouble their efforts to understand what happened to her. The investigation will lead them to search for the lineage of this woman. And they are not done with surprises. In parallel with identifying this woman, Novak continues his investigation into the identity of his daughter. He hits the target and even manages to observe her from a distance. Carried away by his desire to discover this child, Novak forgets that by doing so, he might be putting her in danger. Because a certain Malherbe is still lurking...

In the kitchens of a large Parisian restaurant, Chef Vitali is arrested. A hand has just been discovered in the cold room. But Julia is wary of this scenario that too easily accuses the chef. This dismembered body, after identification, will lead our investigators to the tracks of a televised cooking competition. A story of a poisoned dish? Or a simple fantasy intended to discredit a chef? Just as Julia and Novak solve this investigation, their daughter Emma bursts into the Homicide unit. Angry, she claims to be sent by a friend of Julia's who told her everything about her past, and she doesn't want her biological parents involved in her life. Julia is stunned and asks for the identity of this friend, who turns out to be Malherbe. After a wave of panic, Julia and Novak immediately place Emma under police protection. But Malherbe is everywhere, and Emma disappears...

Will they find the courage to confront their demons from the past? Can they turn the tables on Malherbe's game?
