Through repeated beatings and arguments, we are shown how a young Fred grows increasingly distant from his family and begins to deal drugs with his high school friends Kessler and Ostertag. Long thought to be dead, it is revealed that he had a troubled childhood due to his overbearing father, who forced him to excel at tennis. The climactic final episode delves into Fred’s backstory. Gone for Good Ending: Is Fred Still Alive? However, Nora (for that is Guillaume’s girlfriend’s real name) gets kidnapped by the sinister bald man who is seen firing at Fred at the beginning of the show. Back in the present, the distraught boyfriend slowly begins to realize that his girlfriend has multiple identities and finally tracks her down to a hotel, where she’s waiting to catch a flight.

To help Nora escape, he gives her Judith’s passport and tells her to flee to France, where she meets Guillaume.

It is slowly revealed that Fred escaped his killer and then moved to Italy, where he married a woman named Judith (the one in the casket). When the husband came looking for her at the shelter she was taking refuge in, he was killed by Fred, who, it turns out, is still alive and in hiding. In a parallel flashback, we see that Guillaume’s girlfriend is actually named Nora and had an abusive husband before she met our hero. He attends her funeral, only to realize that the woman in the casket is not his girlfriend. Soon after, he is informed by the police that Judith has been found murdered in an apartment in Ivry. As he begins to retrace her steps with the help of his friend and colleague Daco, he finds that Judith might have had a daughter named Alice. When Guillaume gets home, he notices all her things gone and is unable to get in touch with her.

She accepts but then, under the pretext of work, rushes off. Soon after, we see young Inès bury Sonia’s phone in her garden.īack in the present, Guillaume attends his mother’s funeral and proposes to his girlfriend Judith soon after. Guillaume then goes to his neighbor’s house, where he finds Inès, Sonia’s younger sister, staring at the corpse of her older sibling floating in the swimming pool. The two reach a cliffside where the bald man lets off multiple rounds, and Fred falls into the water. In a flashback, we see Fred wrestling with a bald man, who chases him with a gun. The show opens with Guillaume thinking about the night his brother Fred and ex-girlfriend Sonia were killed.
