Recap of the previous episode and plot of episode 2
In episode 1 of Monsieur Spade, Sam Spade arrives in Bozouls, France in 1955. The famous detective from San Fransisco was tasked by his client, Brigid O’Shaughnessy, to drop off her young daughter, Teresa, at her father Philippe’s house. However, Spade does not find him home, instead running into his acerbic mother, Audrey. The next morning, Spade has a chance meeting with Gabrielle, a local vineyard owner and the two hit it off.
After a time jump of eight years, It is revealed that Gabrielle passed away. Gabrielle's death in 1961 leaves Spade alone in her house, while Teresa is sent to a convent and becomes detached from Spade. However, unexpectedly, Philippe returns to Bozouls, and Jean Pierre, an old friend of Spade's, also returns from the Algerian war.
Spade is alerted to a dangerous situation at the convent by Teresa late at night. Earlier, Spade heard a gun being fired over the phone with Philippe. This leads to Spade leaving Teresa with Helena, the house caretaker, and heading to the convent. The situation there sets the tone for the rest of the investigation, which will continue in the coming episodes.
The second episode of Monsieur Spade does not have a specific title. Its plot summary reads, “Detective Sam Spade is pulled out of retirement to investigate a series of brutal murders.” The terrifying death of the nuns in the cathedral will no doubt be the starting point for Episode 2.
