Rubens In the middle of a wild rave party, the body of a 78-year-old man is discovered among the crowd, beaten and stabbed. There's no way to trace the identity of this elderly man. Darius and his colleagues are left in a state of incomprehension: what was he doing there? And why didn't anyone seem to have seen him during the party? While Marijo finds a strange piece of paper in the victim's jacket lining, we then discover Françoise, her husband, and their best friend. They're all between 75 and 84 years old. Their common thread: a general sense of fed-upness. Their pensions are ridiculous, they feel like they've become a burden on society, and they're slowly dying. Their plan? To rob a supermarket. |

Mercury The body of an unidentified man, wearing jogging gear, is left brain-dead on the steps of the Lille University Hospital. There's no trace of who left him.

While things are getting tense at Duchesse and Ben's, an IGPN cop arrives to monitor the Invisibles group, who are in the line of fire of the hierarchy... Elsewhere, we discover little Stella, seriously ill. Stella is worried: her father is acting increasingly strange and tense.

Episode 1 It's a commotion at the PJ offices. A woman in a police uniform committed suicide in Chistera's office during the night! Everything suggests that a colleague killed herself at her workplace to denounce the working conditions of police officers on duty. However, no one recognizes this colleague, and no papers are found on her. Chistera orders all departments to make themselves available to Darius and his colleagues, much to Marijo's delight! But very quickly, the Invisible's profile proves difficult to reconcile with that of a police officer. Who is Marianne? Why kill herself and denounce all this if she's not "from the house"? The truth probably lies with Driss, a young thirty-something under pressure in a housing project run by Vince, who seems to want to entrust Driss with more and more responsibilities. Around him, there are jealous people, a woman, and above all, a disappearance that will reshuffle all the cards... |

Episode 2 Marijo and Duchess discover the lifeless body of a young man in his twenties. Asian in appearance, the man Marijo calls Douglas wears a poor-quality suit and has all the attributes of an athlete, or a dancer. Which doesn't necessarily match the bullet holes he received in the head. A professional job, then. The Invisibles' initial search leads them into the astonishing world of hip-hop dancers, performing spectacular choreographies. On the other side, the story follows Paul, a resoundingly successful businessman, who begins to panic when some clients ask him to recover their savings, which they have placed with him to make them grow. Who is this man who seems to have everything going for him? Has the success story he's been telling his wife and those around him been a lie all this time? Meanwhile, Darius discovers vital information about his father... |

Episode 3 A corpse like no other lies before the brigade—a grotesque mosaic of calamities. Angie, the coroner, is stunned: this man didn’t just die... he was *claimed* by chaos itself. A wolf trap shattered his ankle, his shoulder was torn as if by some primal force, and a bullet ripped through him. They called him "Van Gogh" for the eerily staged crime scene, but the real story cuts deeper. In his abandoned caravan, the Invisibles uncover a world of obsession—puzzles, inventions, madness. He was chasing the fabled "Golden Toad," a treasure cloaked in legend and riddles. Did he perish at the brink of discovery? And just when it can’t get stranger, Colette and Roland—two octogenarians fleeing their retirement home—appear tangled in this twisted tale. Coincidence? Or is this bizarre death the key to a mystery decades in the making |
