Saint-Pierre (2025) s01e09 Episode Script
Bad Friends Bons Ennemis
1
Why'd you arrest O'Brien?
I was questioning him
and he was dodging me
and things escalated.
I know he's into something,
I just got to prove it.
VEDA: What is with your
obsession with Gallagher?
It's not healthy.
Maman?
(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)
GALLAGHER: Hello ladies, gentlemen.
Can I just have your attention?
Just for a moment please, thank you.
Now this brunch,
which I am delighted to say
is in its 15th very successful year
is important not only for
the tens and thousands
of euros that we've already raised
for our esteemed local
police force union,
but also the impact that this event
has on our local charities
and on our wider community as a whole.
Now, with that in mind I'd
like to invite up here our
our revered police chief
to accept a cheque
for 30,000 €
on behalf of the children's ward
at the Saint-Pierre hospital.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
I need a drink.
FITZ: Yeah, I don't blame you.
Oh hey, your mom showed up.
Trust me, no one's
more surprised than me.
But my apartment is too
small for both of our
Personalities?
Egos?
Charm and good looks?
(CHUCKLES)
When do I get to meet her?
(DISTANT GUNSHOT)
Is that a gunshot?
You know what, I really hope so.
Anything to get me out of here.
MAN 1: Pull!
Okay, that definitely
sounds like gunshots.
- Hmm?
- MAN 1: Pull!
(DOOR KNOB RATTLES)
Looks like we need a key. It's locked.
MAN 1: Pull!
Oh God.
Friend of yours?
That's a hard negative.
(CARD BEEPS)
Donnie Fitzpatrick.
I forgot you got
banished to Saint-Pierre.
It's just a little private event.
No one's allowed out there but my crew.
Owner's a friend.
Yeah, he lent me the
sole key to the roof
while he's vacationing
in the south of France.
Why am I hearing guns going off?
- Ah, skeet shooting.
- MAN 1: Pull!
(GUNSHOT)
Uh, don't worry, it's all very harmless.
It's just the Premier's
Chief of Staff, Paul Anders.
We even have security here,
Rebecca Santos.
- This is, um
- MAN 1: Pull!
Jacob Wallace.
Deputy Chief Archambault.
Oh, my pleasure.
I'm a businessman.
Mining, oil and gas mostly.
- Actually
- Nobody cares, Wallace.
REBECCA: Pull.
(GUNSHOT)
Everyone, we are losing
the shotguns now.
I can assure you skeet
shooting is fully licensed
with the hotel.
Well, maybe another time
when you all haven't been drinking
your faces off.
I haven't been drinking,
thank you very much.
Hair of the dog.
Anders, it's strange to see
you without your little feet
sticking out of the Premier's arse.
Man, you're funny, Fitz.
I forgot just how funny.
Why are you all here?
PAUL: Oh, you hadn't heard?
Premier's stag.
What happened?
Robert?
(GASPS)
(PANTS)
What have you done?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
All right, lay it on me.
Hotel employee, Elsa Hahn,
was servicing rooms.
She opened the door and found O'Brien
over Toby Spencer.
And what's O'Brien saying?
Oh, he's claiming that he
doesn't remember anything.
Classic defence by blackout.
His bachelor party was last night.
Do you think he's capable of
doing something like this?
Come on, guys.
I'm too close to all of this
to be working this case.
ARCH: No.
Your connection to O'Brien
is exactly why we need you.
And I cannot solve
this case without you.
MARCUS: I agree.
And the more we know about
the suspect, the better.
Okay.
Arch
keep an eye on your partner.
If you get even a whiff
that his judgment
is compromised in any way
I want to know.
Forensics will be here soon.
A strangulation mark on his neck.
FITZ: Yeah.
This is the cord O'Brien was holding.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here,
say it's a match.
We got a wallet, cellphone.
This young girl?
I'm guessing it's Toby's daughter.
This would be his personal cell.
ARCH: Signs of struggle.
Toby and O'Brien get into it.
O'Brien grabs the lamp, uses the cord
to strangle the victim.
Weapon of opportunity.
Not pre-planned.
More like a drunken brawl.
And we know O'Brien was drunk.
Forensics will check everything here.
All right, let's go
check out Toby's room,
see what we can find.
Housekeeping hasn't been in today.
Toby's bed was just slept on.
O'Brien said he passed
out here in Toby's room.
No idea how he got here.
Toby brought paperwork,
but where is his laptop?
Terms of reference.
Requests for proposals.
Too short to be a phone number.
Is that a code of some kind?
Hmm.
Phone charging cables.
Two different connectors.
Yeah. It's not uncommon for someone
who works for the Premier
to have two phones.
We found Toby's personal one,
but not his work phone.
Right.
We need that phone.
ROBERT: About the stag party.
I want you to know I had no idea
where they were bringing me.
This was all Anders' idea.
I would have never agreed to it
if I knew they were
bringing me to Saint-Pierre.
We've got a slightly bigger issue
than you mowing my lawn.
And that's your murdered E.A.
If you want us to believe your story,
you're gonna have to account
for a massive chunk of time.
So, why don't you take
this step by step?
We were playing poker.
Wallace came in from Germany
with a 40-year-old Scotch.
It was almost 50K a bottle and
I hear your sobriety is a big deal.
It was my bachelor party.
I thought I was in a safe place.
It's one drink.
(SCOFFS)
We're looking for Toby Spencer's laptop.
His work phone.
Uh, no.
Anders was adamant this
was a laptop-free weekend.
It was a break for everyone.
He even confiscated my phone.
Uh, was supposed to be relaxing.
What about Toby's?
No, Toby had to be reachable.
He was never far from his phone.
Look, Fitz, I know that you've
always had it out for me.
And I know that I am fuzzy
on some of the details here.
But Toby was like family.
There is no way I could have killed him.
(EXHALES)
(BANGING)
Can you open this, please?
(GATE BUZZER BLARES)
He's in my head.
(SIGHS)
Could he have done this?
I mean, normally by now,
I'd I'd have a read on the guy.
But he lives in my house
with my wife, my kids.
I can't think straight.
I'm tainted.
ARCH: Okay.
Tell me what really
happened between you two.
Why you arrested O'Brien
in Newfoundland?
Why you were sent here?
It's gonna sound
(EXHALES)
A little while ago, this girl
Kid, okay?
University student. She was picked up.
She was out on a bender.
She was in a stolen car.
Owned by guess who?
- Premier Robert O'Brien.
- Right.
And O'Brien claims he didn't
even know the car was stolen.
You know, it's just a car he has.
It's not even registered.
He keeps it in the garage somewhere.
It's a real nice car, too.
It's a 1964 Jaguar.
Real expensive.
So, what?
Who cares about the car?
I was in Montreal, uh,
when I was doing undercover.
I was working this source.
He had intel.
He claimed that he had
information proving that O'Brien
was taking kickbacks for
like construction contracts.
And they gifted him a 1964 Jaguar.
Did this guy have proof?
No, he was killed on an unrelated thing
by some bikers.
I had almost forgotten about it.
But then this girl, she shows up
and she's driving O'Brien's car.
What happened?
FITZ: Well, O'Brien,
the gent that he is,
he's not even gonna press charges.
And the whole thing
was about to go away.
Until you arrested him.
I just wanted to ask him some questions.
Talk to him.
Things got out of hand.
Here we are.
Okay.
Let's find out what really happened.
Before I find you sleepwalking
up and down the streets tonight.
(EXHALES)
The victim is Toby Spencer.
Family man.
Worked for O'Brien for four years.
No police record.
And the hotel is big on privacy.
There's no security cameras inside.
And the exterior cameras
didn't show us much.
Okay, and who are these other guys?
Oh, this is O'Brien's entourage.
Paul Anders is his Chief of Staff.
And this guy, he's a real
piece of work, Jacob Wallace.
He's a big oil and gas guy.
He's known O'Brien since
the university days.
Here for a bachelor party.
Their protection detail
is Rebecca Santos,
former RCMP officer.
She does private
security for the Premier
in his off-hours.
Make no mistake, O'Brien
is our number one suspect.
We just need conclusive proof.
What's the motive?
Why kill Toby Spencer?
I have reason to believe
that O'Brien has been taking
kickbacks throughout his
entire time in office.
But I mean, if Fitz is right
and Toby discovered dirt on O'Brien,
that's motive.
Reason to believe is how
Fitz got shipped here
in the first place.
We need more.
Forensics didn't find
any prints on the lamp.
Like no prints, none at all,
none whatsoever?
ARCH: It was in O'Brien's room.
He could have left prints just
from turning on the light.
Why would he wipe them off?
We have Toby's personal cell,
but zero sign of his work one.
And we need to talk to O'Brien's people
to get a timeline going.
And Wallace and Santos
are waiting to talk,
but the weird thing is
this guy is missing.
Anders?
RENUF: He's not at the hotel.
All we know is he hasn't
left Saint-Pierre.
Good.
No gaps.
No room for error.
FITZ: Tell us about yesterday.
Well, I had meetings in Berlin.
I got to Saint-Pierre around 6:00 p.m.
I met the others, we ate,
we played cards.
I broke out the scotch.
Who's we?
REBECCA: The boys had their fun.
I was working.
Myself, O'Brien, Anders, and Toby.
Were all of you involved
in the card game?
Anders left early.
Said he had some calls to make.
And you?
What time did you leave?
I left next, to look around.
I left next, after Anders.
Hmm.
What time?
Not sure.
The sun was coming up.
I just headed directly to my room.
I can't speak for the others.
So, you left before O'Brien went to bed?
I'm his security, not his babysitter.
I secured the property.
When I got back to the lounge,
Wallace said O'Brien
had gone to bed, so
So, I went too.
If you're looking for who
might have done this
As far as I could tell,
Anders wasn't Toby's biggest fan.
Anders is Chief of Staff
and he takes the chief part
pretty seriously.
And I don't think he likes
anyone coming between him
and the boss.
REBECCA: It's not my place, but
I'd say Toby had the Premier's ear
and total trust.
Anders felt it undermined him.
Santos and Wallace are not allowed
to leave the island
and we've confiscated their
passports temporarily.
I'm setting up an island-wide
search for Anders.
CCTV from the night of the murder
shows Anders leaving the hotel
when he was supposed
to be playing cards.
So he wasn't playing
cards when he said he was
and it's just plain
weird that he disappears
right after his boss gets arrested.
Involved in the murder?
It's from Renuf.
He's trying to execute a
search on O'Brien's room,
but they can't get the safe open.
Apparently, they can't
override the combination.
Those numbers that were
on Toby's bookmark
RENUF: It's over here.
Okay, try 36, 49, 75.
(SAFE BEEPING)
That's gotta be a million euros here.
That's enough to kill for.
Thanks for this.
I just want to make sure my
guy's getting a fair shake.
Trust me, in this situation,
your guy's getting as
fair a shake as possible.
Call it a professional courtesy.
Why would I bring a
million euros to my stag?
This place doesn't
even have a strip club.
I'm glad you're relaxed
enough to be making jokes.
No, it's
Look, you know what I mean.
We're just trying to understand
where the money came from.
I don't know. It isn't mine.
Did Toby find out about the cash?
Maybe
Maybe someone gifted it to you.
A kickback?
You needed Toby to keep quiet?
Oh, I can only imagine
the stories Don here
has been telling you about me.
I am not a corrupt politician.
Why don't you tell us
in your own words then?
Tell us where you think
the money came from.
I don't know.
It isn't mine.
FITZ: All right.
Who had access to your room?
Me.
Toby, that's it.
Not Anders?
ROBERT: No.
I haven't spoken to him.
He's supposed to be here
doing damage control.
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
(GATE BUZZER BUZZES)
I, uh
I need a minute alone.
Please.
Have you told Meredith?
No.
Why not?
No need to upset her until we know more.
You could be using this with Mer
all to your advantage.
(SCOFFS)
You can't let me go down for this.
Please.
We have to go.
(GATE BUZZER BUZZES)
NATASHA: Yeah.
So, Toby Spencer had
a significant amount
of alcohol in his system.
So, did your Premier.
If they were both so drunk,
Toby could have been
easily incapacitated.
If they get into a rager of a fight
Right.
But a lamp cord?
I mean, that had to be
one hell of a fight.
To that point, your guy Toby
fought back pretty hard.
And from the angle of bruising,
it looks like the assailants,
um, got behind and
used their body weight.
How long would it have taken?
Lack of oxygen to the brain.
Victim would likely have passed
out in less than a minute.
But if pressure stayed on,
would have died shortly after.
So, no more than a few minutes
and no one heard anything?
Well, everyone was at the
gala or on the rooftop.
O'Brien could have done it shortly
before housekeeping discovered them.
NATASHA: Not likely.
Rigor had set in by the time
you guys got on the scene.
So, I would put time of death
a few hours before that.
So, it could have been anyone
who was at that bachelor party.
NATASHA: Sorry.
I wish I could have narrowed
the time down for you, but
You opened things up
beyond our prime suspect.
That helps.
Thank you.
Okay.
You're starting to doubt O'Brien did it.
Me too, Fitz.
If he was framed, I I will be pissed.
So, you're mad at the idea that
O'Brien is not guilty of murder?
FITZ: No, Arch!
I'm mad because if he was framed,
that means someone
thinks that I want him
to go down badly enough that I'd
I'd let him take the fall.
ARCH: Okay.
Who would know about your
little tiff with O'Brien?
Everyone.
We were a viral sensation, remember?
Yeah, I remember.
I bet everyone in O'Brien's camp
would love to watch you squirm.
But only one of them would
hate him enough to frame him.
We just need to find out who.
Did you just give me the old, uh,
"It's not only about you,
Fitz." Pep talk?
Okay.
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
What's all this?
(OFFICERS CHUCKLING)
It's my mother.
MARCUS: Leave some for me.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Mm-hmm.
The partner.
Fitz, hello.
Hello.
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
What difference does that make?
Ah.
Okay.
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
Victim's death was
sometime after sunrise.
After the poker game.
A few hours before O'Brien
was found over Toby's body.
And any one of our
suspects had opportunity.
Have we tracked down Anders?
I'm starting to get annoyed now, guys.
No, but we're working on something.
Paul Anders has visited Saint-Pierre
a half a dozen times
in the last six months.
Always stays at the Auberge Hotel.
This guy, Wallace, had another key,
uh, Fitz told me.
Yeah, he got it from the owner.
He was the only one
with access to the roof.
PATTY: We just checked it.
It doesn't work on any
other hotel doors.
RENUF: And Wallace
travelled from Germany,
securing huge loans from Deutsche Bank.
He just bought a construction
company apparently.
O'Brien's security detail,
Rebecca Santos.
Santos and O'Brien actually met in AA.
RENUF: They've been each
other's sponsors for years.
She went into private
security three years ago,
handpicked by the Premier.
Plus, we've still got the million euros
that was found in O'Brien's safe
and Toby's missing cellphone.
We believe we find that phone,
we'll find some answers
someone doesn't want out in the open.
We just got a hit on Anders'
credit card at a gas station.
Which is odd, as they were
all chauffeured to the hotel.
Check CCTV at the gas station.
(REMOTE BEEPS)
PATTY: All right.
He was there three hours ago.
FITZ: Right there. That's Anders.
This is the hotel SUV for VIPs.
And there's something on the dash
MARCUS: Patty, zoom in on the dash.
Yeah, I think we all recognize that key.
Hotel staff says that Anders
booked a hotel room here
last night, paid in cash.
Last night?
So, this was in motion before
he disappeared from us.
There's something not
right about this guy.
WOMAN 1: What took you so long?
Come in.
Where is Paul Anders?
How would I know?
FITZ: Elsa, right?
It's odd to us that you're the one
who found Toby Spencer's body.
And we find you here in a
motel room paid for by Anders.
Who we're looking for in
connection to that murder.
You're going to have to
be very honest with us.
Honestly, I I don't know where he is.
But I can tell you that
he didn't kill that man.
How can you possibly know that?
We were here.
I swear.
When did he leave?
We went to the Auberge together.
I had to work and he went straight up
to the roof for skeet shooting.
New phone charger?
Yeah, I guess.
I I lost mine.
Hmm.
Is this your phone?
What, uh.
FITZ: Hmm.
See, this charger is for an Android,
but your phone doesn't
have an Android port.
Oh.
My mistake.
Mm-hmm.
Whose phone was that cable for?
FITZ: Okay.
Elsa, stop dicking us around.
It's very important.
We need that phone.
Okay.
Okay.
Is this Toby Spencer's phone?
Mm-hmm.
Why are you hiding a dead man's phone?
The phone has been factory reset.
Something was on it
someone didn't want found.
Maybe Anders?
PATTY: Most Androids have
a built-in backup feature.
I can't guarantee it yet,
but I'll try to restore its data.
Why factory reset the phone?
Whatever was on there,
Elsa, or maybe Anders wanted it gone.
Or they didn't want
someone else to have it.
Elsa had access to each room.
She could have easily taken the phone
and cleaned the room of any prints.
Opportunity, but no
motive that we know of.
Not yet.
Paul Anders and I met about
a year ago in St. John's.
We just hit it off.
Did you know he was married?
Yeah.
He was totally upfront about it.
Eventually, he started
coming to meet me here
and things just happened.
And how did you just happen to end up
with a dead man's cellphone?
Paul.
He asked me to get it
from Toby Spencer's room.
He said that Toby had
pictures of us on it.
Intimate ones.
How would Toby get these pictures?
Paul accidentally shared them
with him in a work cloud folder.
He didn't even know
until Toby cornered him.
It could have ruined his
marriage, his career.
So, Toby said that he would
keep them as leverage.
And did Premier O'Brien
know about any of this?
No.
Paul organized this whole
trip as a way for me
to get that phone for him.
The plan was that I
would delete the photos
and then I'd put it back.
But
But?
Paul scrolled through the phone.
He saw a bunch of emails
and he forwarded them to himself.
Then he asked me to reset the phone.
So, he'd be the only
person with the messages.
What were these messages?
Um, I saw terms of reference.
RFBs or RFPs?
He told me to hide the
phone and then he left.
Where'd he go?
I don't know.
But he was pissed.
ARCH: We found them in Toby's room.
It's a request for proposals from us,
the government,
Um, to vendors.
It's a call to bid on contracts.
Wait, there's something here.
What?
ROBERT: It's Wallace.
His company is oil, gas mining.
And this is a bid on a paving
contract with the province.
How much?
We're looking at the Labrador Highway.
It's a massive contract.
Billions.
Wallace's company doesn't stand a chance
against the more
experienced contractors.
Guys, you have to believe me.
I've never seen these
files before in my life.
How could that be possible?
Toby. It's his
His job to shield me from things
he knows we wouldn't want
my name associated with.
You mean anything that might be
unsavoury to the general public?
No.
Things he knows I wouldn't get behind.
FITZ: Right.
So, you're telling us that you wouldn't
have backed Wallace's bid?
Look, he's a friend,
but that's not how I roll.
All right.
Then who could have helped Wallace?
Toby.
But I don't see it.
Anders is your Chief of Staff.
Everyone knows Chief of
Staff has the real sway.
So, Wallace paid Anders a million euros
for a paving contract?
Toby found out about it.
I can't say if he did it
or even if he would do it.
But
if I was a betting man, Anders
Yeah, maybe, he might be behind this.
We need to find him.
SEAN: One of the things I find
fascinating about Saint-Pierre
is the isolation.
We're protected.
There's a great simplicity right there.
As far as the rest of the
world is concerned
we barely even exist.
And that allows us to
be resilient, you know?
Forced to work together, live together,
make the best of things together.
So, that's how you
describe our relationship?
Marriage of convenience?
No, we're good friends, you and I.
But this, uh
This marriage, if that's
what you want to call it
is based on trust.
I gotta be honest with you.
These days, I'm not really
feeling it in the same old way
that I used to.
MARCUS: I don't have time for this.
I'm in the middle of a
homicide investigation.
That's what I wanted
to discuss with you.
See, I got some friends
arriving in the coming days.
Guests, important guests.
And guests who need privacy.
Do I know these guests?
I'm not asking you to ask questions.
I am telling you to tell me
that you are going to deal with that.
Well, Sean, if you have
big things in the works.
If you need things,
and if your guests need privacy
I need to know what I'm
getting myself into.
Ah, maybe that's the problem.
Maybe I have somehow given
you the impression that
that we're equals.
And we're not.
Clear this Premier murder shit up
before this place becomes a media circus
and a magnet for international cops.
Just to be blunt
do as you are told.
So, Toby Spencer's murder,
a million euros in cash,
and government contracts,
and I somehow think that
O'Brien is not involved?
Am I okay?
If Toby was killed,
because of a road paving scam,
O'Brien wouldn't know
whoever was in on it,
would turn on him in a
second if he was dirty.
So, you believe O'Brien?
I believe we need more.
Anders.
Okay, Anders was looking
for Toby's work phone.
We know that, some possibly
incriminating emails.
Whatever he found, he sent to himself.
- Then Elsa reset the phone.
- Right, okay.
Say Anders was involved
in the kickbacks, uh,
for that paving company.
Toby finds out, he's gonna turn him in.
Clearest motive we've discovered
yet for Toby Spencer's murder.
The hotel vehicle has a built-in
roadside assistance tracker.
Anders made his way back to the Auberge.
Patty, that's brilliant.
That's the vehicle Anders was driving.
ARCH: What's going on?
Police! Police!
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
FITZ: That's Anders.
ARCH: We're too late.
Guilty conscience?
Suicide or
We know those, uh,
skeet guns were stored up
on the roof.
ARCH: It looks like he
fought with someone.
He was pushed.
FITZ: Yep, agreed.
But by who?
That will save us a few steps.
There's a bunch of calls
Anders made to Wallace.
I'm assuming on his way here.
Wallace bragged that he had the only key
that gave them access to the roof.
Wallace is taking a runner.
Fitz!
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
(POLICE SIREN BLARING)
Idiot is gonna get himself killed.
By idiot,
I hope you mean him and not me.
If you get yourself killed,
you're gonna get me killed.
So, please don't do that.
- Fitz!
- I know. I know. I know.
(TIRES SQUEALS)
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
Get out of the car!
Hands in the air!
(SIGHS)
MARCUS: So, you think Wallace
tossed Anders off the roof
and killed Toby Spencer
in the hotel room?
Well, as for Toby
We're not sure just yet.
MARCUS: We need to figure it out.
I couldn't restore Toby's cell,
but Anders did forward
a number of emails from
Toby's cell to his own.
Toby was making the deal.
Not Anders.
We know what we'll
find under your nails.
We tracked down the hotel owner.
He confirmed what you told us.
That you were the only one
with a key to the roof.
It was you on the roof when
Anders went over the edge.
When did you get into paving, Wallace?
ARCH: Market shares have
dropped in non-renewables.
I'm guessing you're chasing
big government contracts
to cover your losses.
And according to these emails,
Anders found out about your
million-euro payout to Toby.
We know Toby was pushing
a contract through
under O'Brien's nose and I get it.
With a billion-dollar payout on the line
for a government paving contract,
I mean, that would have been
worth killing Anders over,
right?
But why'd you kill Toby?
I didn't.
I didn't kill Toby.
Yeah, I paid Toby the million
to help me get a contract,
because Robert's such a
stickler about nepotism.
Toby and I had a plan.
It was working.
But Anders found out.
(SIGHS)
Look, after Toby's murder,
Anders assumed that I was involved.
He started digging.
He hacked into Toby's phone.
So yeah, he figured it out.
He confronted me at the hotel,
and we went up to the roof just to talk.
Privately.
Hmm.
And you pushed him off?
WALLACE: No.
No.
He grabbed a skeet gun.
He threatened me.
He was angry.
I need to know the work work, Anders.
What are you
I knew he wasn't gonna shoot me,
so I tried to take the gun.
- (GRUNTING)
- (PAUL SCREAMS)
JACOB: He fell backwards.
I tried to grab him
but he slipped out of my arm.
I didn't mean to kill him.
It was an accident.
Okay.
Okay.
What about Toby?
I don't know.
Look, O'Brien was in rough shape.
I hadn't seen him drink
like that in years.
He passed out in Toby's room,
so Toby and I went to O'Brien's room
to do the exchange.
Did he get greedy?
Want more money?
That's why you killed him?
I did not kill Toby, okay?
When I left Toby in O'Brien's room,
he was still alive.
Say we believe you.
When you left, did you see anyone?
Just Rebecca Santos.
She was headed in to
check in on O'Brien.
Where is she now?
Listen, thanks.
I'm glad we caught you.
We just wanted to chat, you know
go over some details.
REBECCA: Yeah. I can't believe Wallace.
Didn't think he had it in him.
ARCH: I know.
He claimed it was an accident.
Anders found out that Wallace
was paying Toby a lot of money
to secure a major contract.
But you already knew
about that, didn't you?
You think I was involved in bribes?
I would never do that to Robert.
You were loyal to O'Brien.
We get that.
Yeah, the AA connection.
You know, and plus, you owed O'Brien
for giving you a new career
after you were kicked off the force.
Were you disappointed
when he fell off the wagon
and started drinking again?
It happens.
Mm.
When you were done your
sweep of the perimeter,
you came back to check on O'Brien.
To make sure he was okay.
But O'Brien wasn't there, was he?
Wallace was in the room with Toby.
They were doing the payoff,
Wallace asserts that Toby was alive
when he left that room.
But we think that you
heard what went down.
And after Wallace was gone,
you confronted Toby about it.
Did you threaten him to tell
O'Brien about the bribes
and what?
Come on, Toby try to talk you out of it.
What happened, Rebecca?
Toby lied.
Denied it.
Then he flipped on a dime.
Begged me not to tell O'Brien.
I told him I'd tell O'Brien
everything in the morning
about the kickbacks.
Toby jumped me.
I was trying to leave.
He got his hand on my weapon.
I reached for the first
defensive weapon I could find.
Next thing I knew, I was behind him,
had the cord around his neck.
I held him there
until he wasn't fighting anymore.
Then I realized
He was gone.
FITZ: If it was self-defence
why did you wipe the
room clean of prints?
REBECCA: It was self-defence.
But I panicked.
An innocent man almost
went down for your crime.
REBECCA: No.
I knew that wouldn't happen.
O'Brien made it clear to me.
He knew that you'd figure it out.
He had faith in you.
I guess I was hoping you two
wouldn't figure out who did it
until I
until I got away.
(LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND)
I wanna thank you again.
I was just doing my job.
Can we finally bury a hatchet here?
Robert, let's just take this as a win
and move forward, okay?
You can't help yourself, can you?
And even after today, look,
I lost my entire team.
My friends.
And you're about to marry my wife.
Ex-wife.
And you live with my kids in my
Man, I swear to God,
I smell anything off you.
If you bring anything into that house
and put my family at risk
I love my new family.
Very much.
And I would never do
anything to put them at risk.
Regardless of whether
you believe me or not.
You could have buried
me in there today, Fitz,
and you didn't.
I won't forget that.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
How was that?
Hm.
I'm people'd out.
Do you have any whisky?
Please.
After saving your Premier's butt,
he'll probably make it
easier for you to go home.
Oh, um, I mean, I don't know.
It's uh, there's no rush, right?
I've still got six months, so.
Good.
(SLURPS)
Is it?
I've been meaning to ask.
How's the sleepwalking been?
Interestingly, it just
(CLEARS THROAT)
It kind of just stopped happening.
Really?
Yeah.
Any idea why?
Well, it stopped happening
right around the time,
I don't know,
we started to trust each other.
Is that what we've been doing?
LISETTE: (SPEAKS FRENCH)
Maman?
Fitz
didn't expect to see you.
Hi.
Whatever you have to say to me,
you can say it in front of Fitz.
He's been helping with the
Gallagher investigation.
He knows everything.
No, he does not know everything.
Neither do you.
You need to drop this investigation
against that man.
Trust me, please.
Maman
Gallagher needs to pay
for what he did to you.
I have proof that can send him
to jail for a very long time.
I can protect you, Maman.
You don't have to live in fear anymore.
I'm not afraid of him.
That's not why I want you to stop.
Then why?
Why have you come here?
Sean Gallagher is your father.
Sub extracted from file & improved by
Why'd you arrest O'Brien?
I was questioning him
and he was dodging me
and things escalated.
I know he's into something,
I just got to prove it.
VEDA: What is with your
obsession with Gallagher?
It's not healthy.
Maman?
(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)
GALLAGHER: Hello ladies, gentlemen.
Can I just have your attention?
Just for a moment please, thank you.
Now this brunch,
which I am delighted to say
is in its 15th very successful year
is important not only for
the tens and thousands
of euros that we've already raised
for our esteemed local
police force union,
but also the impact that this event
has on our local charities
and on our wider community as a whole.
Now, with that in mind I'd
like to invite up here our
our revered police chief
to accept a cheque
for 30,000 €
on behalf of the children's ward
at the Saint-Pierre hospital.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
I need a drink.
FITZ: Yeah, I don't blame you.
Oh hey, your mom showed up.
Trust me, no one's
more surprised than me.
But my apartment is too
small for both of our
Personalities?
Egos?
Charm and good looks?
(CHUCKLES)
When do I get to meet her?
(DISTANT GUNSHOT)
Is that a gunshot?
You know what, I really hope so.
Anything to get me out of here.
MAN 1: Pull!
Okay, that definitely
sounds like gunshots.
- Hmm?
- MAN 1: Pull!
(DOOR KNOB RATTLES)
Looks like we need a key. It's locked.
MAN 1: Pull!
Oh God.
Friend of yours?
That's a hard negative.
(CARD BEEPS)
Donnie Fitzpatrick.
I forgot you got
banished to Saint-Pierre.
It's just a little private event.
No one's allowed out there but my crew.
Owner's a friend.
Yeah, he lent me the
sole key to the roof
while he's vacationing
in the south of France.
Why am I hearing guns going off?
- Ah, skeet shooting.
- MAN 1: Pull!
(GUNSHOT)
Uh, don't worry, it's all very harmless.
It's just the Premier's
Chief of Staff, Paul Anders.
We even have security here,
Rebecca Santos.
- This is, um
- MAN 1: Pull!
Jacob Wallace.
Deputy Chief Archambault.
Oh, my pleasure.
I'm a businessman.
Mining, oil and gas mostly.
- Actually
- Nobody cares, Wallace.
REBECCA: Pull.
(GUNSHOT)
Everyone, we are losing
the shotguns now.
I can assure you skeet
shooting is fully licensed
with the hotel.
Well, maybe another time
when you all haven't been drinking
your faces off.
I haven't been drinking,
thank you very much.
Hair of the dog.
Anders, it's strange to see
you without your little feet
sticking out of the Premier's arse.
Man, you're funny, Fitz.
I forgot just how funny.
Why are you all here?
PAUL: Oh, you hadn't heard?
Premier's stag.
What happened?
Robert?
(GASPS)
(PANTS)
What have you done?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
All right, lay it on me.
Hotel employee, Elsa Hahn,
was servicing rooms.
She opened the door and found O'Brien
over Toby Spencer.
And what's O'Brien saying?
Oh, he's claiming that he
doesn't remember anything.
Classic defence by blackout.
His bachelor party was last night.
Do you think he's capable of
doing something like this?
Come on, guys.
I'm too close to all of this
to be working this case.
ARCH: No.
Your connection to O'Brien
is exactly why we need you.
And I cannot solve
this case without you.
MARCUS: I agree.
And the more we know about
the suspect, the better.
Okay.
Arch
keep an eye on your partner.
If you get even a whiff
that his judgment
is compromised in any way
I want to know.
Forensics will be here soon.
A strangulation mark on his neck.
FITZ: Yeah.
This is the cord O'Brien was holding.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here,
say it's a match.
We got a wallet, cellphone.
This young girl?
I'm guessing it's Toby's daughter.
This would be his personal cell.
ARCH: Signs of struggle.
Toby and O'Brien get into it.
O'Brien grabs the lamp, uses the cord
to strangle the victim.
Weapon of opportunity.
Not pre-planned.
More like a drunken brawl.
And we know O'Brien was drunk.
Forensics will check everything here.
All right, let's go
check out Toby's room,
see what we can find.
Housekeeping hasn't been in today.
Toby's bed was just slept on.
O'Brien said he passed
out here in Toby's room.
No idea how he got here.
Toby brought paperwork,
but where is his laptop?
Terms of reference.
Requests for proposals.
Too short to be a phone number.
Is that a code of some kind?
Hmm.
Phone charging cables.
Two different connectors.
Yeah. It's not uncommon for someone
who works for the Premier
to have two phones.
We found Toby's personal one,
but not his work phone.
Right.
We need that phone.
ROBERT: About the stag party.
I want you to know I had no idea
where they were bringing me.
This was all Anders' idea.
I would have never agreed to it
if I knew they were
bringing me to Saint-Pierre.
We've got a slightly bigger issue
than you mowing my lawn.
And that's your murdered E.A.
If you want us to believe your story,
you're gonna have to account
for a massive chunk of time.
So, why don't you take
this step by step?
We were playing poker.
Wallace came in from Germany
with a 40-year-old Scotch.
It was almost 50K a bottle and
I hear your sobriety is a big deal.
It was my bachelor party.
I thought I was in a safe place.
It's one drink.
(SCOFFS)
We're looking for Toby Spencer's laptop.
His work phone.
Uh, no.
Anders was adamant this
was a laptop-free weekend.
It was a break for everyone.
He even confiscated my phone.
Uh, was supposed to be relaxing.
What about Toby's?
No, Toby had to be reachable.
He was never far from his phone.
Look, Fitz, I know that you've
always had it out for me.
And I know that I am fuzzy
on some of the details here.
But Toby was like family.
There is no way I could have killed him.
(EXHALES)
(BANGING)
Can you open this, please?
(GATE BUZZER BLARES)
He's in my head.
(SIGHS)
Could he have done this?
I mean, normally by now,
I'd I'd have a read on the guy.
But he lives in my house
with my wife, my kids.
I can't think straight.
I'm tainted.
ARCH: Okay.
Tell me what really
happened between you two.
Why you arrested O'Brien
in Newfoundland?
Why you were sent here?
It's gonna sound
(EXHALES)
A little while ago, this girl
Kid, okay?
University student. She was picked up.
She was out on a bender.
She was in a stolen car.
Owned by guess who?
- Premier Robert O'Brien.
- Right.
And O'Brien claims he didn't
even know the car was stolen.
You know, it's just a car he has.
It's not even registered.
He keeps it in the garage somewhere.
It's a real nice car, too.
It's a 1964 Jaguar.
Real expensive.
So, what?
Who cares about the car?
I was in Montreal, uh,
when I was doing undercover.
I was working this source.
He had intel.
He claimed that he had
information proving that O'Brien
was taking kickbacks for
like construction contracts.
And they gifted him a 1964 Jaguar.
Did this guy have proof?
No, he was killed on an unrelated thing
by some bikers.
I had almost forgotten about it.
But then this girl, she shows up
and she's driving O'Brien's car.
What happened?
FITZ: Well, O'Brien,
the gent that he is,
he's not even gonna press charges.
And the whole thing
was about to go away.
Until you arrested him.
I just wanted to ask him some questions.
Talk to him.
Things got out of hand.
Here we are.
Okay.
Let's find out what really happened.
Before I find you sleepwalking
up and down the streets tonight.
(EXHALES)
The victim is Toby Spencer.
Family man.
Worked for O'Brien for four years.
No police record.
And the hotel is big on privacy.
There's no security cameras inside.
And the exterior cameras
didn't show us much.
Okay, and who are these other guys?
Oh, this is O'Brien's entourage.
Paul Anders is his Chief of Staff.
And this guy, he's a real
piece of work, Jacob Wallace.
He's a big oil and gas guy.
He's known O'Brien since
the university days.
Here for a bachelor party.
Their protection detail
is Rebecca Santos,
former RCMP officer.
She does private
security for the Premier
in his off-hours.
Make no mistake, O'Brien
is our number one suspect.
We just need conclusive proof.
What's the motive?
Why kill Toby Spencer?
I have reason to believe
that O'Brien has been taking
kickbacks throughout his
entire time in office.
But I mean, if Fitz is right
and Toby discovered dirt on O'Brien,
that's motive.
Reason to believe is how
Fitz got shipped here
in the first place.
We need more.
Forensics didn't find
any prints on the lamp.
Like no prints, none at all,
none whatsoever?
ARCH: It was in O'Brien's room.
He could have left prints just
from turning on the light.
Why would he wipe them off?
We have Toby's personal cell,
but zero sign of his work one.
And we need to talk to O'Brien's people
to get a timeline going.
And Wallace and Santos
are waiting to talk,
but the weird thing is
this guy is missing.
Anders?
RENUF: He's not at the hotel.
All we know is he hasn't
left Saint-Pierre.
Good.
No gaps.
No room for error.
FITZ: Tell us about yesterday.
Well, I had meetings in Berlin.
I got to Saint-Pierre around 6:00 p.m.
I met the others, we ate,
we played cards.
I broke out the scotch.
Who's we?
REBECCA: The boys had their fun.
I was working.
Myself, O'Brien, Anders, and Toby.
Were all of you involved
in the card game?
Anders left early.
Said he had some calls to make.
And you?
What time did you leave?
I left next, to look around.
I left next, after Anders.
Hmm.
What time?
Not sure.
The sun was coming up.
I just headed directly to my room.
I can't speak for the others.
So, you left before O'Brien went to bed?
I'm his security, not his babysitter.
I secured the property.
When I got back to the lounge,
Wallace said O'Brien
had gone to bed, so
So, I went too.
If you're looking for who
might have done this
As far as I could tell,
Anders wasn't Toby's biggest fan.
Anders is Chief of Staff
and he takes the chief part
pretty seriously.
And I don't think he likes
anyone coming between him
and the boss.
REBECCA: It's not my place, but
I'd say Toby had the Premier's ear
and total trust.
Anders felt it undermined him.
Santos and Wallace are not allowed
to leave the island
and we've confiscated their
passports temporarily.
I'm setting up an island-wide
search for Anders.
CCTV from the night of the murder
shows Anders leaving the hotel
when he was supposed
to be playing cards.
So he wasn't playing
cards when he said he was
and it's just plain
weird that he disappears
right after his boss gets arrested.
Involved in the murder?
It's from Renuf.
He's trying to execute a
search on O'Brien's room,
but they can't get the safe open.
Apparently, they can't
override the combination.
Those numbers that were
on Toby's bookmark
RENUF: It's over here.
Okay, try 36, 49, 75.
(SAFE BEEPING)
That's gotta be a million euros here.
That's enough to kill for.
Thanks for this.
I just want to make sure my
guy's getting a fair shake.
Trust me, in this situation,
your guy's getting as
fair a shake as possible.
Call it a professional courtesy.
Why would I bring a
million euros to my stag?
This place doesn't
even have a strip club.
I'm glad you're relaxed
enough to be making jokes.
No, it's
Look, you know what I mean.
We're just trying to understand
where the money came from.
I don't know. It isn't mine.
Did Toby find out about the cash?
Maybe
Maybe someone gifted it to you.
A kickback?
You needed Toby to keep quiet?
Oh, I can only imagine
the stories Don here
has been telling you about me.
I am not a corrupt politician.
Why don't you tell us
in your own words then?
Tell us where you think
the money came from.
I don't know.
It isn't mine.
FITZ: All right.
Who had access to your room?
Me.
Toby, that's it.
Not Anders?
ROBERT: No.
I haven't spoken to him.
He's supposed to be here
doing damage control.
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
(GATE BUZZER BUZZES)
I, uh
I need a minute alone.
Please.
Have you told Meredith?
No.
Why not?
No need to upset her until we know more.
You could be using this with Mer
all to your advantage.
(SCOFFS)
You can't let me go down for this.
Please.
We have to go.
(GATE BUZZER BUZZES)
NATASHA: Yeah.
So, Toby Spencer had
a significant amount
of alcohol in his system.
So, did your Premier.
If they were both so drunk,
Toby could have been
easily incapacitated.
If they get into a rager of a fight
Right.
But a lamp cord?
I mean, that had to be
one hell of a fight.
To that point, your guy Toby
fought back pretty hard.
And from the angle of bruising,
it looks like the assailants,
um, got behind and
used their body weight.
How long would it have taken?
Lack of oxygen to the brain.
Victim would likely have passed
out in less than a minute.
But if pressure stayed on,
would have died shortly after.
So, no more than a few minutes
and no one heard anything?
Well, everyone was at the
gala or on the rooftop.
O'Brien could have done it shortly
before housekeeping discovered them.
NATASHA: Not likely.
Rigor had set in by the time
you guys got on the scene.
So, I would put time of death
a few hours before that.
So, it could have been anyone
who was at that bachelor party.
NATASHA: Sorry.
I wish I could have narrowed
the time down for you, but
You opened things up
beyond our prime suspect.
That helps.
Thank you.
Okay.
You're starting to doubt O'Brien did it.
Me too, Fitz.
If he was framed, I I will be pissed.
So, you're mad at the idea that
O'Brien is not guilty of murder?
FITZ: No, Arch!
I'm mad because if he was framed,
that means someone
thinks that I want him
to go down badly enough that I'd
I'd let him take the fall.
ARCH: Okay.
Who would know about your
little tiff with O'Brien?
Everyone.
We were a viral sensation, remember?
Yeah, I remember.
I bet everyone in O'Brien's camp
would love to watch you squirm.
But only one of them would
hate him enough to frame him.
We just need to find out who.
Did you just give me the old, uh,
"It's not only about you,
Fitz." Pep talk?
Okay.
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
What's all this?
(OFFICERS CHUCKLING)
It's my mother.
MARCUS: Leave some for me.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Mm-hmm.
The partner.
Fitz, hello.
Hello.
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
What difference does that make?
Ah.
Okay.
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
Victim's death was
sometime after sunrise.
After the poker game.
A few hours before O'Brien
was found over Toby's body.
And any one of our
suspects had opportunity.
Have we tracked down Anders?
I'm starting to get annoyed now, guys.
No, but we're working on something.
Paul Anders has visited Saint-Pierre
a half a dozen times
in the last six months.
Always stays at the Auberge Hotel.
This guy, Wallace, had another key,
uh, Fitz told me.
Yeah, he got it from the owner.
He was the only one
with access to the roof.
PATTY: We just checked it.
It doesn't work on any
other hotel doors.
RENUF: And Wallace
travelled from Germany,
securing huge loans from Deutsche Bank.
He just bought a construction
company apparently.
O'Brien's security detail,
Rebecca Santos.
Santos and O'Brien actually met in AA.
RENUF: They've been each
other's sponsors for years.
She went into private
security three years ago,
handpicked by the Premier.
Plus, we've still got the million euros
that was found in O'Brien's safe
and Toby's missing cellphone.
We believe we find that phone,
we'll find some answers
someone doesn't want out in the open.
We just got a hit on Anders'
credit card at a gas station.
Which is odd, as they were
all chauffeured to the hotel.
Check CCTV at the gas station.
(REMOTE BEEPS)
PATTY: All right.
He was there three hours ago.
FITZ: Right there. That's Anders.
This is the hotel SUV for VIPs.
And there's something on the dash
MARCUS: Patty, zoom in on the dash.
Yeah, I think we all recognize that key.
Hotel staff says that Anders
booked a hotel room here
last night, paid in cash.
Last night?
So, this was in motion before
he disappeared from us.
There's something not
right about this guy.
WOMAN 1: What took you so long?
Come in.
Where is Paul Anders?
How would I know?
FITZ: Elsa, right?
It's odd to us that you're the one
who found Toby Spencer's body.
And we find you here in a
motel room paid for by Anders.
Who we're looking for in
connection to that murder.
You're going to have to
be very honest with us.
Honestly, I I don't know where he is.
But I can tell you that
he didn't kill that man.
How can you possibly know that?
We were here.
I swear.
When did he leave?
We went to the Auberge together.
I had to work and he went straight up
to the roof for skeet shooting.
New phone charger?
Yeah, I guess.
I I lost mine.
Hmm.
Is this your phone?
What, uh.
FITZ: Hmm.
See, this charger is for an Android,
but your phone doesn't
have an Android port.
Oh.
My mistake.
Mm-hmm.
Whose phone was that cable for?
FITZ: Okay.
Elsa, stop dicking us around.
It's very important.
We need that phone.
Okay.
Okay.
Is this Toby Spencer's phone?
Mm-hmm.
Why are you hiding a dead man's phone?
The phone has been factory reset.
Something was on it
someone didn't want found.
Maybe Anders?
PATTY: Most Androids have
a built-in backup feature.
I can't guarantee it yet,
but I'll try to restore its data.
Why factory reset the phone?
Whatever was on there,
Elsa, or maybe Anders wanted it gone.
Or they didn't want
someone else to have it.
Elsa had access to each room.
She could have easily taken the phone
and cleaned the room of any prints.
Opportunity, but no
motive that we know of.
Not yet.
Paul Anders and I met about
a year ago in St. John's.
We just hit it off.
Did you know he was married?
Yeah.
He was totally upfront about it.
Eventually, he started
coming to meet me here
and things just happened.
And how did you just happen to end up
with a dead man's cellphone?
Paul.
He asked me to get it
from Toby Spencer's room.
He said that Toby had
pictures of us on it.
Intimate ones.
How would Toby get these pictures?
Paul accidentally shared them
with him in a work cloud folder.
He didn't even know
until Toby cornered him.
It could have ruined his
marriage, his career.
So, Toby said that he would
keep them as leverage.
And did Premier O'Brien
know about any of this?
No.
Paul organized this whole
trip as a way for me
to get that phone for him.
The plan was that I
would delete the photos
and then I'd put it back.
But
But?
Paul scrolled through the phone.
He saw a bunch of emails
and he forwarded them to himself.
Then he asked me to reset the phone.
So, he'd be the only
person with the messages.
What were these messages?
Um, I saw terms of reference.
RFBs or RFPs?
He told me to hide the
phone and then he left.
Where'd he go?
I don't know.
But he was pissed.
ARCH: We found them in Toby's room.
It's a request for proposals from us,
the government,
Um, to vendors.
It's a call to bid on contracts.
Wait, there's something here.
What?
ROBERT: It's Wallace.
His company is oil, gas mining.
And this is a bid on a paving
contract with the province.
How much?
We're looking at the Labrador Highway.
It's a massive contract.
Billions.
Wallace's company doesn't stand a chance
against the more
experienced contractors.
Guys, you have to believe me.
I've never seen these
files before in my life.
How could that be possible?
Toby. It's his
His job to shield me from things
he knows we wouldn't want
my name associated with.
You mean anything that might be
unsavoury to the general public?
No.
Things he knows I wouldn't get behind.
FITZ: Right.
So, you're telling us that you wouldn't
have backed Wallace's bid?
Look, he's a friend,
but that's not how I roll.
All right.
Then who could have helped Wallace?
Toby.
But I don't see it.
Anders is your Chief of Staff.
Everyone knows Chief of
Staff has the real sway.
So, Wallace paid Anders a million euros
for a paving contract?
Toby found out about it.
I can't say if he did it
or even if he would do it.
But
if I was a betting man, Anders
Yeah, maybe, he might be behind this.
We need to find him.
SEAN: One of the things I find
fascinating about Saint-Pierre
is the isolation.
We're protected.
There's a great simplicity right there.
As far as the rest of the
world is concerned
we barely even exist.
And that allows us to
be resilient, you know?
Forced to work together, live together,
make the best of things together.
So, that's how you
describe our relationship?
Marriage of convenience?
No, we're good friends, you and I.
But this, uh
This marriage, if that's
what you want to call it
is based on trust.
I gotta be honest with you.
These days, I'm not really
feeling it in the same old way
that I used to.
MARCUS: I don't have time for this.
I'm in the middle of a
homicide investigation.
That's what I wanted
to discuss with you.
See, I got some friends
arriving in the coming days.
Guests, important guests.
And guests who need privacy.
Do I know these guests?
I'm not asking you to ask questions.
I am telling you to tell me
that you are going to deal with that.
Well, Sean, if you have
big things in the works.
If you need things,
and if your guests need privacy
I need to know what I'm
getting myself into.
Ah, maybe that's the problem.
Maybe I have somehow given
you the impression that
that we're equals.
And we're not.
Clear this Premier murder shit up
before this place becomes a media circus
and a magnet for international cops.
Just to be blunt
do as you are told.
So, Toby Spencer's murder,
a million euros in cash,
and government contracts,
and I somehow think that
O'Brien is not involved?
Am I okay?
If Toby was killed,
because of a road paving scam,
O'Brien wouldn't know
whoever was in on it,
would turn on him in a
second if he was dirty.
So, you believe O'Brien?
I believe we need more.
Anders.
Okay, Anders was looking
for Toby's work phone.
We know that, some possibly
incriminating emails.
Whatever he found, he sent to himself.
- Then Elsa reset the phone.
- Right, okay.
Say Anders was involved
in the kickbacks, uh,
for that paving company.
Toby finds out, he's gonna turn him in.
Clearest motive we've discovered
yet for Toby Spencer's murder.
The hotel vehicle has a built-in
roadside assistance tracker.
Anders made his way back to the Auberge.
Patty, that's brilliant.
That's the vehicle Anders was driving.
ARCH: What's going on?
Police! Police!
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
FITZ: That's Anders.
ARCH: We're too late.
Guilty conscience?
Suicide or
We know those, uh,
skeet guns were stored up
on the roof.
ARCH: It looks like he
fought with someone.
He was pushed.
FITZ: Yep, agreed.
But by who?
That will save us a few steps.
There's a bunch of calls
Anders made to Wallace.
I'm assuming on his way here.
Wallace bragged that he had the only key
that gave them access to the roof.
Wallace is taking a runner.
Fitz!
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
(POLICE SIREN BLARING)
Idiot is gonna get himself killed.
By idiot,
I hope you mean him and not me.
If you get yourself killed,
you're gonna get me killed.
So, please don't do that.
- Fitz!
- I know. I know. I know.
(TIRES SQUEALS)
(SPEAKS FRENCH)
Get out of the car!
Hands in the air!
(SIGHS)
MARCUS: So, you think Wallace
tossed Anders off the roof
and killed Toby Spencer
in the hotel room?
Well, as for Toby
We're not sure just yet.
MARCUS: We need to figure it out.
I couldn't restore Toby's cell,
but Anders did forward
a number of emails from
Toby's cell to his own.
Toby was making the deal.
Not Anders.
We know what we'll
find under your nails.
We tracked down the hotel owner.
He confirmed what you told us.
That you were the only one
with a key to the roof.
It was you on the roof when
Anders went over the edge.
When did you get into paving, Wallace?
ARCH: Market shares have
dropped in non-renewables.
I'm guessing you're chasing
big government contracts
to cover your losses.
And according to these emails,
Anders found out about your
million-euro payout to Toby.
We know Toby was pushing
a contract through
under O'Brien's nose and I get it.
With a billion-dollar payout on the line
for a government paving contract,
I mean, that would have been
worth killing Anders over,
right?
But why'd you kill Toby?
I didn't.
I didn't kill Toby.
Yeah, I paid Toby the million
to help me get a contract,
because Robert's such a
stickler about nepotism.
Toby and I had a plan.
It was working.
But Anders found out.
(SIGHS)
Look, after Toby's murder,
Anders assumed that I was involved.
He started digging.
He hacked into Toby's phone.
So yeah, he figured it out.
He confronted me at the hotel,
and we went up to the roof just to talk.
Privately.
Hmm.
And you pushed him off?
WALLACE: No.
No.
He grabbed a skeet gun.
He threatened me.
He was angry.
I need to know the work work, Anders.
What are you
I knew he wasn't gonna shoot me,
so I tried to take the gun.
- (GRUNTING)
- (PAUL SCREAMS)
JACOB: He fell backwards.
I tried to grab him
but he slipped out of my arm.
I didn't mean to kill him.
It was an accident.
Okay.
Okay.
What about Toby?
I don't know.
Look, O'Brien was in rough shape.
I hadn't seen him drink
like that in years.
He passed out in Toby's room,
so Toby and I went to O'Brien's room
to do the exchange.
Did he get greedy?
Want more money?
That's why you killed him?
I did not kill Toby, okay?
When I left Toby in O'Brien's room,
he was still alive.
Say we believe you.
When you left, did you see anyone?
Just Rebecca Santos.
She was headed in to
check in on O'Brien.
Where is she now?
Listen, thanks.
I'm glad we caught you.
We just wanted to chat, you know
go over some details.
REBECCA: Yeah. I can't believe Wallace.
Didn't think he had it in him.
ARCH: I know.
He claimed it was an accident.
Anders found out that Wallace
was paying Toby a lot of money
to secure a major contract.
But you already knew
about that, didn't you?
You think I was involved in bribes?
I would never do that to Robert.
You were loyal to O'Brien.
We get that.
Yeah, the AA connection.
You know, and plus, you owed O'Brien
for giving you a new career
after you were kicked off the force.
Were you disappointed
when he fell off the wagon
and started drinking again?
It happens.
Mm.
When you were done your
sweep of the perimeter,
you came back to check on O'Brien.
To make sure he was okay.
But O'Brien wasn't there, was he?
Wallace was in the room with Toby.
They were doing the payoff,
Wallace asserts that Toby was alive
when he left that room.
But we think that you
heard what went down.
And after Wallace was gone,
you confronted Toby about it.
Did you threaten him to tell
O'Brien about the bribes
and what?
Come on, Toby try to talk you out of it.
What happened, Rebecca?
Toby lied.
Denied it.
Then he flipped on a dime.
Begged me not to tell O'Brien.
I told him I'd tell O'Brien
everything in the morning
about the kickbacks.
Toby jumped me.
I was trying to leave.
He got his hand on my weapon.
I reached for the first
defensive weapon I could find.
Next thing I knew, I was behind him,
had the cord around his neck.
I held him there
until he wasn't fighting anymore.
Then I realized
He was gone.
FITZ: If it was self-defence
why did you wipe the
room clean of prints?
REBECCA: It was self-defence.
But I panicked.
An innocent man almost
went down for your crime.
REBECCA: No.
I knew that wouldn't happen.
O'Brien made it clear to me.
He knew that you'd figure it out.
He had faith in you.
I guess I was hoping you two
wouldn't figure out who did it
until I
until I got away.
(LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND)
I wanna thank you again.
I was just doing my job.
Can we finally bury a hatchet here?
Robert, let's just take this as a win
and move forward, okay?
You can't help yourself, can you?
And even after today, look,
I lost my entire team.
My friends.
And you're about to marry my wife.
Ex-wife.
And you live with my kids in my
Man, I swear to God,
I smell anything off you.
If you bring anything into that house
and put my family at risk
I love my new family.
Very much.
And I would never do
anything to put them at risk.
Regardless of whether
you believe me or not.
You could have buried
me in there today, Fitz,
and you didn't.
I won't forget that.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
How was that?
Hm.
I'm people'd out.
Do you have any whisky?
Please.
After saving your Premier's butt,
he'll probably make it
easier for you to go home.
Oh, um, I mean, I don't know.
It's uh, there's no rush, right?
I've still got six months, so.
Good.
(SLURPS)
Is it?
I've been meaning to ask.
How's the sleepwalking been?
Interestingly, it just
(CLEARS THROAT)
It kind of just stopped happening.
Really?
Yeah.
Any idea why?
Well, it stopped happening
right around the time,
I don't know,
we started to trust each other.
Is that what we've been doing?
LISETTE: (SPEAKS FRENCH)
Maman?
Fitz
didn't expect to see you.
Hi.
Whatever you have to say to me,
you can say it in front of Fitz.
He's been helping with the
Gallagher investigation.
He knows everything.
No, he does not know everything.
Neither do you.
You need to drop this investigation
against that man.
Trust me, please.
Maman
Gallagher needs to pay
for what he did to you.
I have proof that can send him
to jail for a very long time.
I can protect you, Maman.
You don't have to live in fear anymore.
I'm not afraid of him.
That's not why I want you to stop.
Then why?
Why have you come here?
Sean Gallagher is your father.
