Original subtitles

I bet they weren't all nice guys looking for affection.

Will you come and see me again soon?

I need a safe place to store some stuff.

Between 17 and 21, it's like Sophie didn't exist.

Impossible. Keep looking.

- What if your husband finds out? - Leave that to me.

It's time to get out.

How's your son, Bruno?

Your dad will kill you.

- When did you last see Desmarais? - 2 months ago.

- You said he was angry. At who? - Mean people.

- Like he wore a mask. - Him too?

Steven Desmarais' cause of death is carbon monoxide poisoning.

Young Gregoire, Justine and Desmarais,

all died from co Poisoning.

Have you ever heard of a killer

who murdered his victims using such a gentle method?

DAY 4 SAURDAY 9:30 PM

We'll get a motel room in Baie-Comeau.

No one ever defended my sister.

My little brother either.

Any regrets?

- About what? - Me, the handbag...

No.

What happened to Justine wasn't our fault.

No, it wasn't our fault.

I know you'd fight for me.

I'd kill for you.

What's that?

THE WALL

This might seem like a weird question,

but did Steven know any Asians?

Did he ever mention a Chinese guy?

Suzanne..

You'll have to identify him.

Can anyone go with you and stay with you tonight?

It didn't just happen.

- Who killed him? - It looks like an accident.

He'd been drinking heavily. We found him outside.

He'd passed out. Freezing to death is peaceful.

But we still need to ask you some questions.

Steven never drank alone.

We found several vodka and gin bottles at the scene, all empty.

Steven hated vodka, I know that much.

He only drank gin.

Come on, I won't let you down.

- Don't start again. - You're just using me.

Pao! We'll do it together so we can spend time together.

I never see you! I'm tired of being alone.

Really? I heard you were getting close to some dancers.

Can you blame me? I take all the risks.

- I need to cut loose. - You take all the risks?

Did you learn anything from your police interview?

Apparently, they think Desmarais was murdered too,

but they're not telling us.

And that it's the same person who killed Justine Fournier,

and maybe even young Gregoire.

- What did they tell you? - They asked the questions, not me.

- Right. - When can I see you?

Soon. Everything will get sorted out soon.

Anyway, I have to go.

Hey, where's my truck?

Fuck! Which goddamn clown...

You're sure you parked it there? Want me to check?

No, I parked it here. I always park it here.

- Which goddamn clown... - Is it a prank?

It certainly wasn't stolen. Where would he go, Iqaluit?

If he heads south,

he'll get stopped before he reaches Baie-Comeau.

That little shit!

If my pickup isn't parked by my house in the morning...

- Do you know something? - No, nothing.

If I find out you knew something, you're in trouble.

Any news?

I think I found what you're looking for.

- About Sophie? - Yes, madam.

I knew it.

I knew that little bitch was shady.

And my reward? You know it's not about money.

I don't have all the details yet, but I will soon.

Then you'll move up to the national network for sure.

Next exercise, passing the mouthpiece to someone who's out of air.

OK? Nathalie, come here. I'll show you.

After you put it in your mouth or someone else's mouth,

before inhaling, you have to press the shut-off valve.

Right here. OK?

ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT

Lou, is that you?

Lou?

There's one power line from Manic 5 and it's 350 kilometres long.

Finding the problem and figuring out how serious it is

- could take hours, days even. - Goddamn backwater!

OK, I'll find a generator. For now, the priority is keeping people warm.

Yes, sure.

We shouldn't have stayed here after my husband died.

I told Steven that.

But he was like his dad: a miner.

Yesterday you said that people were mean to him.

- Would they go that far? - No. No.

I got bullied too when I was a kid.

And Steven had been getting it since primary school, so...

I know what those little bastards are like.

They'd rather keep you alive.

They need you to make themselves feel less pathetic.

It went on for so long, almost everyone did it.

Even me.

I blamed him for not being able to make friends.

As if his life wasn't hard enough.

Good thing he went on sick leave at the cabin...

All I have are baby pictures.

The ones on the computer,

she deleted them. I didn't tell you.

The last time you argued with her.

She locked herself in here and all the photos with her in them...

What?

I'm the one who deleted them.

- Why? - It doesn't matter.

Raphaelle might have some on her phone. Where did she go?

- Why is your brother in the bathroom? - He's busy.

REMEMBER JUSTINE?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

- Robert? - Yes, just a minute.

Desmarais had many acupuncture receipts. Do you know Michel Turcotte?

- Yes, by sight. - Think they were for Gregoire?

Gregoire had an acupuncturist at 9?

No, Turcotte was a psychologist too.

Fermont's a small town. He did double duty.

Why did you say "was a psychologist"

Because he retired last autumn. He moved to somewhere in the States.

But Lieutenant Desautels knew him well, he can get hold of him.

Sorry, but what you said about the killer...

The gentle, feminine methods... How long will we hide that from people?

It's the kind of information that the public could help us with.

It's too vague. It'll cause panic and we'll be inundated with red herrings.

I know you hate lying, but it'll help the investigation.

And lying by omission isn't that bad.

Yes, maybe.

Do you think there are candles in the apartment?

Probably.

- Need a hand finding them? - That would be nice.

Is this real?

What's happening to us...

It's not happening to us.

We're making it happen.

He's sleeping at a friend's, he won't be back till tomorrow.

Take off your coat.

I'm telling you, I was so scared.

When the lights went out, I felt like I was underwater.

If that happens, just follow your air.

It rises, always.

Adrenaline is a thrill, don't you think?

Sometimes I need a little danger to feel alive.

Please, Alain.

Thanks.

It must feel bizarre with your daughter and her son out there.

- Sorry, I didn't mean to... - No, you're right.

It's disturbing, not bizarre. I know the feeling all too well.

She may be close, but she's still unreachable.

Want to know what I did to her?

I broke her heart.

What are we doing?

Whatever you want.

Scare me.

- Need help? - No. Sorry, I have to go.

See you tomorrow.

GONE TO WABUSH. BACK TOMORROW NIGHT.

So the killer wanted us to find the body?

Why would we care if the body was found under a rowing boat?

We need to understand the killer quickly,

because I doubt this is the last body we’ll find.

I CAN'T WAIT!

- Yes? - Mrs Chenier found the handbag.

- Where? - In the woods.

- And she knows who put it there. - OK, Til be right there.

This is where you started a new life?

I went as far away as possible. I guess it wasn't far enough.

- What Celine did... - To me.

That's not all of it.

She thought you might be involved in Operation Coyote.

Nothing you say will make me forgive her.

Besides my husband, no one in Fermont knows where I'm from.

Can you tell her I want it to stay that way?

No.

I told your mother I won't be a go-between.

You don't have a choice.

She'll never be part of my life or my son's.

Bye!

I hope we'll see each other when it's less...

- Me too. Sorry, I'm stressed. - It's OK.

- Who's your new customer? - His name's Steven Desmarais.

But keep it to yourself until tomorrow, OK?

- Desmarais? Steven Desmarais? - You knew him?

No. Well, yes, everyone did.

Another murder?

Have a nice day, Sophie.

There's no way around it.

Anything We say will just sound stupid.

That's right.

What? We'll just pretend it didn't happen?

Why not?

You're something else.

It was cold, we kept each other warm, that's it.

Yes, but you weren't in a relationship.

You think it'd bother Fabienne?

- You don't know her. - No. She might be relieved.

- Why? - She'd feel less guilty.

You think she's cheated on me?

- You saw her once for 2 minutes. - That's all it takes.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes I'm wrong.

- Hello. - May we come in?

Yes.

Sorry we're so early. We're here to see Anthony.

Have you seen the key?

On the nightstand.

- Hello. - Hello.

Anthony's not here, he slept at his friend Felix's.

Lieutenant Desautels talked to him, but Felix hasn't seen him.

Oh, no. I knew something was up.

- Any idea where he could be? - No. Why do you want to see him?

- We just want to talk to him for now. - But we have a search warrant.

What made you think there was something off about Anthony?

He was being too nice.

We've been here too long, Raph.

- I told you to turn it off. - I have to reassure my parents.

Your dad won't call the police, but mine will.

What did you tell them?

That I slept at my new boyfriend's place

and won't make the funeral.

Are you upset about missing the ceremony?

It's fine. If anyone would understand, Justine would.

- Did someone call you? - Why, did you find my truck?

- Your truck? - Yes.

No, it's about Anthony. They want to question him,

- but they think he left. - He left?

That's what they think. They want to see you too.

The little shit! He hasn't talked to me in 3 months.

- Why are you here? - No reason.

What does the Quebec City bitch want with Tony?

- Bid he leave? - Yes. I tried to keep him here.

But it seems he lost his truck.

Anthony.

Send Bruno's licence plate number to all local police forces.

10-4.

- Did you find your truck? - Not yet.

Hello?

- Are you nuts? - I need to know what’s going on,

and so do you. Think about Gregoire and Justine.

The bastard who killed them is walking around smiling.

- Come on, those are just rumours. - Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Yes...

But in order to act, we need evidence.

- How will we get it? - There's only one way.

Did you send the body to Quebec City?

I'd have gone with it, but it seems you're keeping me here.

To keep you warm at night?

No...

- Don't tell me. Already? - Shut up, Martin.

What's this?

I found it in the snow near Desmarais' cabin.

It might be nothing.

- Not done with the mobile phones? - No. I'd finished, but...

while going through Justine's phone,

I found the spy app we use to listen in on suspects.

- And... - Justine's phone was tapped?

- 3 years ago. - For Operation Coyote.

Justine was hanging around with the biggest dealer in town.

- They're still listening in? - No, but this morning I had a flash.

I looked at Desmarais' phone.

He had the app. No one else uses it.

It's an in-house version only used by the SQ.

But why would the police tap Steven Desmarais' phone?

I don't know. I'm trying to find out

who he called and texted, but it's totally encrypted.

Send them to Quebec City Get our best geeks on it.

All right.

Steven Desmarais was found dead at his lakeside cabin.

The police believe it was an accident, but aren't giving details.

No, it's not true. For Justine, it made sense. No surprise.

But for Steven Desmarais, it's no joke.

Something's wrong. Think about it.

Yes.

I know what will happen to me in prison.

But if we don't do or say anything...

OK. Yes..

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Anthony took off with the Fournier girl?

Yes. Did you know?

No, I... have something to ask you.

Take off your hat and coat.

Dave, this is Detective Sergeant Trudeau.

- Hello. - Hello.

Did you hear about Desmarais?

Seems you were pretty much his only friend.

We'd talk when he came in, but he was more a customer.

My condolences.

Thanks.

His mother tells me you used to play video games together.

It's true. It's not that I didn't like him..

You didn't want to be associated with him.

I have problems of my own.

Who was his problem?

So what? You have nothing to hide.

They're the ones who are hiding things.

- Like what? - You won’t like it.

- Stop screwing around. - I'm not screwing around.

Ask your boyfriend.

Looks like the pigs reckon the guy who killed Justine...

killed Greg too.

You arsehole!

I swear. Ask your boyfriend, I'm sure he knows.

OK.

It's true, everyone ganged up on Steven. It was no joke.

But it got worse in the last 6 months.

Bruno and his gang didn't let up.

- So before he went on sick leave? - After.

Please don't tell anyone I helped you.

Who's in Bruno's gang?

A bunch of muscle-heads who swagger around the mine, in town too.

They think they're hot because they know the boss's son.

- Louis-Philippe Ricard? - Yes.

The gang that was with Bruno the night he beat up Pao Beauchemin,

- the "Chinese guy"? - Yes.

I don't see the connection.

Me neither.

Not yet.

When's the last time you saw Steven Desmarais?

During the holidays, between Christmas and New Year.

- At his cabin? - No.

Here. I've never been to his cabin.

You're here alone? Where's Louis?

He's not here and he's not answering his phone.

That's not like him. What's up?

Sorry, I'm running really late.

It's crazy how much you look like Justine.

No. You've said that before, but I don't look like her.

I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm sure it must be hard.

Jules will be here in the morning.

Oh, yes..

I'm only supposed to tell him, but...

I can tell you. Digger 6 stopped working again.

- It's sabotage, no doubt about it. - OK.

You tell him. I have a funeral tomorrow.

I got it. The bar in Quebec City.

Vanessa?

It was Vanessa.

- Have you heard from Anthony? - No.

What's wrong?

I know you can't tell me what happens at the station, but...

I'm sorry.

Who killed Greg? Nothing more.

I don't know. The investigation's not over.

- They don't even... - Have a suspect?

From now on, you'll do as I say. Is that clear?

You asked me to look into Desmarais' acupuncturist,

Michel Turcotte.

I have to be upfront. He's my brother-in-law.

But from what I understand,

Desmarais didn't consult Michel as an acupuncturist.

- As a psychologist? - Yes.

We have the receipts.

He offered the service to clients who didn't want people to know

they were seeing a shrink.

I know it's not on the up-and-up, but Michel thought it was harmless.

Can we leave it out of the report?

Desmarais never tried acupuncture for his back pain?

That's what surprised me. He never mentioned his back.

- Turcotte never did a check-up? - Of course he did.

Desmarais mentioned his acne and erectile dysfunction,

but I don't know why he hid his back pain.

Turcotte also saw young Gregoire Lamontagne.

Alcoholic parents, violent father. Social Services referred him.

He only saw him three times before...

- What about Justine? - He didn't see her much either.

She was a teenager.

- Her mother forced her to go. - Why?

Helene thought her daughter was controlled by an evil spirit.

Michel agreed with her.

But Michel thought the evil spirit walked on two legs.

A domineering man who probably sexually abused her,

but for whom she had feelings.

Did he say who it was?

Justine would never admit the man existed.

- You could've called me back. - I had no signal.

There was another act of sabotage and you disappear.

I texted you that I was in Wabush. I'm on my way.

I had to leave William with Milly all day.

- Why were you in Wabush? - I can't talk about it.

Why is the garage empty? And what are you hiding there?

I suppose you can't talk about that either?

Not yet, but you'll know everything soon, OK?

I'm doing this for you, for us.

- Do you trust me? - Yes, I trust you.

- I'm just worried. - About what?

About Robert, Justine's uncle.

He recognised me.

No, not that file.

Holy shit!

- If this comes out... - We're going to find him.

What do you think?

I don't think I'd confide in Turcotte. You?

Something struck me before and occurred to me just now.

What?

We know that Gregoire's dad beat him,

that Turcotte thought Justine was tormented by an evil man

and that Desmarais was the scapegoat of the entire village.

You think that..

That's the connection between the victims?

It's not age, sex or hair colour, it's...

That the killer chose victims who were already victims.

Give me a minute to pack up my computer.

Where are we going?
