Bonus for @mykingdomforasong:

He goes to solve the murder of a rich white man in his home, and the dead man's Hispanic immigrant nurse has a spot of blood on her shoe. He says nothing. She actively fucks with the crime scene and destroys evidence. He does nothing. She gets into a full on police chase with an arsonist in the passenger's seat. He tells her it's ok and she needs to stop. She's a good person. She's nice. She has to stop. He'll fix it. He'll solve it. He proves the asshole rich nephew did it and immediately calls him out for his "ancestral home" that he got in the 80s from a Pakistani man. Because he researched. He calls all the rich people assholes at the end. He leaves Marta to her new fortune.

A new bunch of rich assholes go to a private island. A black woman tells him that one of them killed her sister, without an ounce of physical proof. He believes her anyway and he goes. He hates them so much. They're all rich and stupid and they think that they're smart and they're "disruptors". He hates them so much. One of them sexually harasses him. He still works to solve the case. He works with Helen to manipulate them all. He whimpers and starts to cry when he thinks she's been shot. He tells her to fake her death. He calls out the rich people. He finds the murderer. He gets a confession. The proof is destroyed. There is nothing else. He walks out, giving the black woman the tools to literally burn the place down. He smokes outside while the Mona Lisa burns.

A young priest genuinely wants to make a church better. Everyone thinks he's the killer. He is crying when Blanc meets him. He doesn't tell him that God loves him; he tells Blanc that the Bible is full of stories for them to learn from. This priest is different. He is also suspect number 1. He's kind of the only one who could have done it. Blanc lets him talk about knife robots. The priest tries to turn himself in. No one else could have done it, it must have been him. Benoit grabs him and shoves him out of the station so he doesnt. He stops the priest from confessing things he didn't do (or maybe he did) at every turn because he is a kind, loving, giving boy; the exact kind of Catholic he never saw growing up. The ones who blame the boy are all the kind he's used to. He will not let the one good priest he's ever seen go down that easy. He lies to the cops. He aids and abetts a wanted man. He lets him into crime scenes and he tells him to get down and shut up. He learns from him and lets him forgive the murderer because she was manipulated for 60 years. He lets her die at peace, understanding. Forgiven. He's usually angry. Mean towards the killers. He lets the priest be kind.

#works just as well in reverse tbh 😂
