The Police Archives

The Police Archives is one of the locations you can investigate during The Judge case. Here you meet Hélène.

It appears to be a little up and to the left of the middle of the map.

The police archives look like any other building in Paris. No sign, nothing to make it stand out... but this is where all the case files and criminal records are stored. You know the place well. For several months you... spent a lot of time with the woman who directs it. She was a regular passenger, calling upon you almost every night... first as a driver and then... You can see her shape from across the street. You try to prevent your brain from going there, but it has a mind of its own. She's a beautiful as ever. You get out of the cab. You cross over to the sidewalk on the other side.

HÉLÈNE: "I'm not going to lie, I was surprised by your request..."

She lights a cigarette... she still has that cold, distant look about her. But you know it's just a façade.

HÉLÈNE: "You don't smoke anymore?"

(You light a cigarette.) « No, I'm trying to quit. »

She has trouble articulating with the cigarette in her mouth...

HÉLÈNE: "Good luck with that. I just can't manage."

She runs a hand through her hair. Her wedding band shines under the streetlamp. You're freezing.

HÉLÈNE: "Listen... I'm sure you know I'm not allowed to give you this kind of information... But if what you said was true... then..."

You get the impression she's reaching for your side.

(Step back.) (Let her do it.) « You have any information for me? »

Her hand brushes over your wound... You think about her body... her habits... how she used to call you in the middle of the night.

HÉLÈNE: "I fished around and... the first three victims were not part of the data leak. [NEW CLUE]"

HOUSSINE: "Shit."

HÉLÈNE: "Shit, indeed. That means the information about Besson, Bougrain and the Argentinian one..."

HOUSSINE: "Gorodischer."

HÉLÈNE: "Yeah, that's it... Gorodischer... it all came from someone who had access to their criminal records. That help?"

You attempt a smile.

HOUSSINE: "Yes, it's better than nothing."

A moment of silence. Héléne takes a drag of her cigarette like there's no tomorrow. She paces a bit to warm herself up.

HÉLÈNE: "You... you should come over sometime. What do you think?"

You grin. You and Hélène... used to sleep together... when things with her husband weren't so good.

« Yeah, why not... »   « That wouldn't be a good idea. »   « Sounds good... »

HOUSSINE: "Let me just finish all... this."

HÉLÈNE: "Yes, of course. Give me a call when all this is over."

She looks deep into your eyes. You look down. Her hands are shaking. One last smile and she puts her cigarette out.

HÉLÈNE: "I've got to run..."

« Need a taxi? »   « Thank you. »   « Good night. »

HÉLÈNE: "That's very kind of you but... Bruno is coming to pick me up in a little while."

HOUSSINE: "Good luck."

She reaches out to you affectionately... then stops. You decide to cross the street... to put some distance between you as quickly as possible. You get in your cab and rub your hands together. Time to get back to your shift.
