Season 2Episode 1

La bande à Vidocq

During the Hundred Days, counterfeit banknotes are in circulation. An alleged counterfeiter is arrested and sentenced to death, despite Vidocq's testimony. And he refuses to escape. Vidocq manages to delay the execution - by having the guillotine “removed” (!) - and joins forces with the Parisian underworld to track down the real forgers. They are the royalists who have replaced the Bank of France's banknote printing press with a fake one. Accompanied by the Baroness, Vidocq sets off for the Vendée to recover the real money board. The Baroness has been asked by Fouché to introduce Vidocq to the Chouan camp. But Vidocq is wary of her: won't she betray him yet again?...

Vidocq heads north, where Napoleon will fight the decisive battle. Accompanying Vidocq is an emperor look-alike, a champion dagger-thrower who is supposed to distract the assassins.

Rejected, threatened with death, pursued, he takes refuge with the Baroness, but she drives him away and tries once again to kill him. He has no choice but to steal the jewels himself, hijacking the van carrying them from Ghent to Paris. But the trunk contains nothing but pebbles. The Baroness, who had been entrusted by the King with the sale of the jewels, had kept them for herself. Vidocq sets out to find the jewels and return them to the king.

The leader of the plot is none other than the Baroness. To achieve her ends, she intends to use a healer to whom an archangel appears at night - an archangel who bears a striking resemblance to... the baroness (!) -.

A former convict is murdered because he recognized an escaped convict in an army colonel. Vidocq infiltrates the colonel's organization. He deals with burglars, but also spies: goods stolen in Paris are sold in London and vice versa... but more often than not, confidential papers are stolen. An embassy secretary wants to forbid Vidocq to deal with the case. He is the head of the network. As for the so-called colonel, he has been replaced by the real colonel, who has gone mad, at the Toulon prison. Vidocq will try to make the opposite substitution...

A year after Napoleon's death, Vidocq must put an end to the all-too-frequent duels between royalists and Bonapartists.

Disguised as a businessman likely to finance the Bonapartist cause, Vidocq infiltrates the network preparing Napoleon II's return to France.

Vidocq wants to save them. But he too is challenged to a duel...

The vitriolic corpse of one of the notary's clerks is found near the paper mill. Vidocq, under suspicion, discovers that the corpses are actually those of beggars, stolen from the morgue.

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
