Laure is found tied, gagged and locked into the cellar of the house. Roger again is on the run. Laure and Xavier learn that Irene, Laure's mother-in-law, has a Denis painting and knew Dr. Roger. Xavier finds a sort of will left by Roger addressed to Laure: a video showing an implant extraction performed by Dr. Roger himself; and a tape of an extraterrestrial announcing he is coming to earth to "take back the children." Laure wants to see Lorenzo again. Erika, Laure's sister-in-law, admits her secret: she had an affair with Lorenzo and fears her husband might find out. Laure decides to hide him. When Erika comes to see Lorenzo with her son, Lucas immediately calls Lorenzo, "Papa." Though asleep, Lorenzo answers in a hollow, disembodied voice, as if a stranger had taken possession of his body.
