I just wanted to thank all of you from all over the world for your
messages of appreciation of my work over the past years. Ever since
I did the role of Judas in the new filmed version of Jesus Christ
Super Star, I've received countless e-mails from enthusiastic fans
and it felt wonderful to read them. Unfortunately there were so many
that I couldn't respond to a lot of you.
I didn't get much time to reply to you all and to say thank you for
all your support and interest. Your messages of love give me a
tremendous feeling of happiness and make me proud of my work. I can't
tell you how much they mean to me.
I wish you all the best for your personal endeavours in the future.
With much love.
Jérôme

helps police track down dangerous murderers
by working out their psychological profile.
The only obstacle to his work: a frenzied
family life that often drives him to distraction.
In this episode, a dangerous arsonist plagues
the Paris region. He makes incendiary bombs
which are fatal for those who are unlucky
enough to open the wrong door at the wrong
time. The affair presents difficulties for
Thomas and his henchmen, because there seems
to be no link between the victims...
