Serie Noire (2014) s01e12 Episode Script
Episode 12
1 We're together now.
We're moving in together.
- I don't trust you.
- Are you jealous? - She might be a murderer.
- Jean-Guy? My trick isn't working.
I swear I didn't kill him! She's turning you against me.
What's that? I'm planning to clean up my wardrobe, if you see what I mean.
- Drop it! - No! You drop it! - What are you doing? - Drop it! - No, you drop it! - Drop it! - No, you! - OK, I'm warning you.
You said it yourself, I have the same gun as Stallone in Cobra.
- What are you doing here? - I'm saving you from a murderer! No.
Bruno was hiding his dynamite here.
He had a deal with Charlène.
Charlène is a victim of this mess like you and me.
If she's a victim, why did I just find the murder weapon in her wardrobe? I just found this gun in her wardrobe.
Any ballistics expert could easily match the bullets from this gun with the ones found in Bruno's body.
- I don't understand.
This is your gun.
- Yes, I know.
So, you're telling me that your gun killed Bruno? Well, yes.
We'd have to ask a ballistics expert.
And the expert will say that you're the murderer.
No, the gun was in Charlène's wardrobe.
But if we say that we saw you in the wardrobe, with the weapon in your hands, - the expert will think it's weird.
- No, he won't think it's weird because he's an expert! Do you even realize that more and more evidence - is piling up against you? - You have become her puppet.
The murder weapon is in your hands, there's a body in your shed, you're trying to incriminate someone by planting a weapon In my book, you have become suspect number one! Give me this.
- What? - Give me that! All right, guys! I appreciate this attempt to rediscover your manhood, but you aren't convincing anyone with these guns.
The day after tomorrow, I'll sell Bruno's dynamite to the Vermont guys.
The deal will happen at 4:00 pm, in Lacolle, 600 feet south of the intersection of 221 and 202.
My contact's name is Clive.
He's a dirty fat guy who lives in Burlington and likes motorcycles, sleazy business and fat dirty guys.
I spoke to him twice on the phone, and I'll see him for the first and last time in two days.
Why are you telling us all this? To show you that I don't give a fuck about you.
You are a booger, Denis.
Take your gun, get out of my place and do what you need to do.
Look, I even left my prints on it for good measure.
Now, if you could give me a little privacy, I'd like to go to bed.
I have two big days ahead of me.
I was thinking I might have an idea for episode four, the one with the cartel.
I don't think this is the time and place.
You're right.
Denis went to bed that night with one thing in mind: to an objective observer, this failed attempt to plant a weapon just put him on top of the list of potential suspects.
The option to involve Detective Pérez wasn't on the table anymore.
It was just too risky.
In other words, Denis had pushed himself into a corner, and Charlène was aware of it.
But Denis knew one thing for sure: he was still planning on having the last word, and he wasn't a booger, despite what Charlène had said.
I don't think it's necessary.
- He can't do anything.
- I know Denis.
He won't give up so easily.
- Staying at home is too risky.
- Let's kill him then.
- I was just kidding! - Come on Why are you driving so slow? I have bags loaded with dynamite in my trunk.
I think it's a good reason to drive slow! - Patrick? - Hi, Mom.
I know it's late.
Our heater is broken.
This is my girlfriend.
We're moving in together.
Do you mind if we sleep in my old room tonight? OK, it's fine.
No! It's very heavy.
At 4:00 pm, in Lacolle, 600 feet south of the intersection of 200 something and 200 something else, I can't remember.
But it's easy to find on a map.
When did you find out? - Yesterday.
- Yesterday? What do you mean? I mean yesterday.
Don't you think we should involve Pérez in all of this? No, that's a very bad idea.
Trust me, I'll take care of this on my own, like a big boy.
This life robber must pay.
Not bad, right? That's Clive's idea.
It's to evade customs? Yes.
He owns a porn store in Burlington.
That's crafty! I'm not sure if I would use that word.
Charlène neglected to mention that Clive of Burlington had nicknamed the huge deal "Operation Exploding Cocks".
Good morning, guys! Excuse me, Réj, I need to talk to Claudio.
Is he around? I don't think so.
He didn't stick around for long.
OK honey, now I can tell you where the dynamite is.
It's at Charlène's.
Would you like some pizza? We just ordered some.
We're hungry.
It's not even 10:00 am yet.
We have a veggie pizza, if you want.
We always give that one to the moron.
We try to feed him healthy food.
- No, thank you.
- Your loss.
I forgot my gloves in the office.
That's right.
Fuck the veggie pizza! I just can't stand those black olives anymore! Let's do a Hawaiian pizza instead.
No, that's it, Michel.
It's all good.
Yes, it's me again.
I'd like to change something else the Diet Coke.
Let's make it a regular Coke.
Thank you, you're awesome.
Excuse me, I forgot something.
Bye, Ricky! - Hello? - I need you to do something.
Call Patrick and tell him that you want to meet him in person right away, OK? Tell him it's super urgent and it can't wait.
I'm at work.
Why don't you call him? Because he won't answer.
So tell him you want to see him.
Tell him something bad happened to me.
Sound very worried, lay it on thick, get the violin out and call me back afterwards.
Do it, no question.
Cancel all your appointments for today.
- Hello? - Denis Rondeau.
- Yes? - This is Anne-Sophie Laverdière.
It's just too strange what happened the other day.
It really is my grand-mother's necklace.
And I don't believe your pawnshop story.
Here.
I'm sorry, I wanted to drop by earlier, but I've been really busy lately.
I'm going to be honest with you: I wasn't sure if I should call you.
I even thought about calling the police.
But it's all good, thank you.
And after all, I think I do believe your pawnshop story.
I really believe you.
Look, I really have to run.
I have a phone interview to conduct.
- See you soon! - See you soon.
Is he OK? Where is he right now? He's here, right next to me.
Damn, what a cheap trick! No! Wait! I have to talk to you.
I have news for you.
I think Charlène is innocent after all.
Ricky isn't paralyzed.
He's faking it.
I just caught him ordering a Hawaiian pizza.
Charlène, I must apologize to you.
I jumped to conclusions.
I'm sorry.
That's it? I apologize for spying on you.
I apologize for slapping you.
And I apologize for attempting to plant a semi-automatic weapon in your wardrobe.
It's OK.
I accept your apologies.
And I apologize for telling Patrick that I think you are a pretentious ugly guy who is also a bad father.
Can I now tell you what I wanted to say earlier? As long as apologies have been properly made.
Actually, I think this will somehow round out my apologies.
Charlène, I apologize for telling Claudio that you have the dynamite.
- What an idiot! - Fuck! In a way, it could be worse, it gives you a good reason to hide.
- Now you're not hiding from me.
- Did you tell him this afternoon? I sent him a text message from Bruno's phone.
- So we need to act fast.
- What do you want to do? - We incriminate Ricky.
He's the killer.
- Are you sure? Can you prove it? Stop saying that, you always say the same thing! And I was right the last time.
The guy has been pretending to be paralyzed for a whole month.
He's got something to hide.
And it's a great alibi.
He can't move, so he couldn't physically kill Bruno.
He can't speak, so you can't question him afterwards.
It's smart.
But he made one mistake.
- When? - The Hawaiian pizza! No.
Well before that.
A few hours after we hit him, he left me a message me to tell me that Bruno would take his side.
- Do you remember? I told you.
- Patrick, wake up, that's huge! So he betrayed himself.
Bruno was still alive.
No need for an alibi yet.
We can assume that after this phone call, he went to the clinic.
Yes, to talk about the sexual assault and to rat me out for selling dynamite on the side.
And then, something happened.
Maybe Bruno took your side.
And things got heated Maybe they made love, and Bruno wanted to incorporate a gun - in their sexual games? - Holy shit, you are obsessed! - Danger arouses desire.
- It doesn't matter! - Bruno died.
Ricky freaked out.
- He went back to the motel.
He laid down right where Denis had knocked him out earlier, and he waited to be found.
Could we add another chair? Why? So, that's it.
We're at the point where we can incriminate Ricky.
We're ready to act but we need to be sure that the award won't come back to bite us.
Did you bring the award? And like Denis told you Marc Arcand's character is getting out of jail for sure.
We think he might even help Valérie take her revenge.
He will play a crucial role in the series finale He'll be a master mind of sorts.
I like that! I can't wait to read it.
Well, that's what we're saying, we had no time to write.
Ladies You have time now So, go ahead and write.
No, we don't have - Are you writers? - Yes.
Then write.
Ladies Juju! Yes! The last scene is handwritten.
- The printer died.
- "Episode 4: Marc Arcand Strikes Back.
" Yes I was expecting three full episodes.
We can't write three episodes overnight! One episode is a miracle already.
Let's do a reading.
"But life within the cartel quickly became unbearable.
Operating under a cloud of suspicion can quickly become unbearable.
" "Valérie, someone's at the door asking for you.
" "Tell him to come in, Uncle Gilles.
" "The door opens.
Valérie has a strong reaction.
She's being reunited with a dear old friend.
" - "Marc Arcand!" - "I am back.
My half-sister had my sentence reduced from 25 years to six months.
I heard about your troubles with Pierre.
You are a great attorney.
" "Even if I'm the one who sent you to jail?" "I've learned to forgive while in prison.
And I learned about redemption.
I've forgiven the others.
And mostly, I've forgiven myself.
I think I deserved better from life.
My father was wrong.
He should have known that I deserved better.
He should have known his son deserved better.
" OK, that part is taken care of.
- Now is the time for action.
- What do we do about Claudio? He probably wants to kill everyone.
He has probably chewed his cheek off by now.
Maybe he's not so angry after all.
So you filmed the guy walking and talking? - Exactly.
I have it on my cell.
- And you have the dynamite? Yes.
I'm sorry, do we Are we still talking about the series? Yes, Mom, don't worry.
We're just talking about screenwriting.
Give me two minutes! You bring out your stash.
You send the film to my cell.
You're going to Denis' place with me.
So are you.
You two, stay here.
You don't ask any questions.
And you can just give me a kiss! Claudio's weight increase since Bruno went missing: 12 pounds.
Hi, love, I can finally tell you where I'm hiding.
I'm staying at the Beau-Séjour motel.
Meet me in room 18.
I want you.
We're coming in to write for a little while.
Since Claudio's not here, do you mind if we use his office? I can't see why not.
It's pretty impressive.
He plays his role perfectly.
He's totally committed.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to bring this up It smells really bad in the office.
I think Ricky needs to go to the bathroom.
- It's pretty bad.
- Shit.
Whose turn is it now? Wipe.
And lift.
- Hello? - I'll tell you in five.
OK.
What's Ricky's address? - 2352 Moreau.
- OK, great.
OK.
Let's keep going.
You have two minutes.
It smells so bad in the office, who cares if you shit yourself? I'd like to change something else the Diet Coke.
Let's make it a regular Coke.
- What's going on? - Thank you, you're awesome.
What's this? - Yes, hello? - I don't know who you are, but you're going to pay a very high price for this! - Claudio? - Dan? - Where are you? - You are dead, man! You are dead.
I'm going to kill you! How long were you planning to fuck with me exactly? Easy! This is Ricky's phone.
No! This is Bruno's phone! And you're the one who killed him! But we found the phone in a pouch attached to Ricky's armchair! Come over quick.
Ricky is faking.
He's not paralyzed.
This is not the best timing.
- Can I recover my stash? - What do you mean? You left so quickly.
I want to help you, but I need my stash by 3:00 pm.
Arcand's supposed to bring it back.
- What is he doing? - That's what he said? What have you done with it? Let me call you back.
No Fuck! So, you've been ordering sodas on the QT? How long were you planning to play me like this? You have five seconds to stand up.
It looks like it all came back! I have the feeling that the dynamite is at his place.
It's not true! Charlène's the one who sells dynamite.
I noticed it, and they went after me! He was stealing dynamite.
Bruno figured it out.
- He killed him.
- It's not true! - I haven't done anything.
- Where is the dynamite? I don't know! I don't know! It's not me! - You must have talked to Clive as well! - This is not mine! Fucking Clive! Not very trustworthy, but creative and crafty.
It's not yours? Charlène was the one who sold dynamite.
- These guys are her accomplices! - Pathetic! Did you kill him? It was an accident! He called me in to talk about Charlène.
We talked about her, but he didn't seem to care.
He seemed nervous He was nervous because he saw you right after you got out of jail He said he didn't love you anymore.
He said he didn't know how to deal with you being back.
I just thought I would help him relax I didn't mean any harm So we Shit! We took the gloves out But there was lube everywhere, and the gun just went off.
"The gun just went off"? What do you mean? Yes, it was my idea.
I like incorporating firearms in my sexual practices.
It turns me on.
Danger arouses desire.
I'm sorry, Claudio, I didn't want this.
I switched the gloves, and I went back to the motel.
I was paralyzed, I was freaking out I was collapsing on an emotional level.
So I thought I might as well stay paralyzed for real! So you like horses? Ponies? Yes! I love them, they are my true passion.
- What do you like about horses? - Their freedom.
It's a beautiful creature.
No one would want to hurt Pick him up and drop him at the dump site.
I can't do it all on my own.
Réj, you help him.
OK, you two, come with me.
I'll get the car.
Never again I will never fall in love again.
Can I call my girlfriend to make sure she doesn't worry? No details.
Of course.
- Are you OK? - Yes, everything is OK.
It's just that we're not done working, so we might get home late, but please don't worry, OK? - You can't talk right now? - Absolutely, absolutely.
- Where are you? - Right now I might take the little detour we were talking about yesterday before going home.
You remember, yesterday morning? The place, the time? Should we do anything? No, don't do anything, stay where you are.
We'll see you later, OK? Bye! Bye.
They're going to Lacolle.
- What do you mean? - For the deal.
Holy fuck! Marie, can I borrow your car for a few minutes? I ran out of cigarettes.
I'm going to meet him.
You guys can stay here in case we have some unwanted visitors.
I won't be able to hear you.
So if something happens, just blow the horn, OK? Regarding what happened to Ricky We share some responsibility.
Let's not talk about it.
Think about it.
If we hadn't busted him I don't want to talk about this! What? Should I blow the horn? It looks like my Mom's car.
- Fuck, it's Charlène! - Come on! - What are you doing here? - Did you lie to me? Damn! Are you crazy? Marc Arcand promised to give me back my stash! He's crazy.
You can't believe him.
If Claudio sees you here, he'll think you knew about this.
I thought I could trust you.
I talked to Clive in the car.
Claudio called him back.
He has the dynamite.
We're sorting everything out.
You should thank us.
Don't you understand! I need to find $47,000 in the next two days.
I didn't want to tell you, - but it's a matter of life or death! - I'll give you $47,000.
That's roughly my retirement savings.
You can have it.
Denis will top it off if necessary.
- What? - I love you, Charlène.
We are a couple, this is not an issue.
Go back in the car, please.
What's this? Come on! Fuck! Stop it! - Stop it! - But the police is here! OK, boys.
Charlène, please stay inside his mother's car until the operation is over.
How do you know it's my mother's car? I have my sources.
You should have stayed at Kimberley's.
We weren't told about the plan! It was looking perfect, Judith! A master stroke.
Right? The award was clean, the body was gone for good, Claudio was closing his deal, and we were going back to our normal life.
- It was flawless! - You called me.
I was worried.
You got Pérez involved.
We'll be seen as accomplices.
It's all good.
The situation is already under control.
You can thank Judith.
- We are innocent! - I figured it out a long time ago.
I've been in touch with Christian for a few days.
Your name is Christian? Didn't you notice something weird on that stormy night? The night Juliette ran away, it took me forever to come home You were going to talk to Pérez.
And when I came back, I told you I didn't.
- Did you talk to him? - Yes.
Judith has been keeping me up to date, so we were able to optimize our field strategy.
We'll handcuff you later on, in order to avoid any reprisals from EGG.
We'll take you to the station, but it won't take long.
It will be just another screenwriting experiment.
You owe a big one to your girlfriend.
What is it? A 20-footer? Let's go straight to my place.
No, let's unload first.
Don't you think we have enough room for your stuff and mine? - I don't think so.
- Do you have a freezer? - Just the fridge.
- Patrick, this is Grégory.
He's my brother.
- Hi.
- Nice meeting you.
Thanks for the help.
I'm happy to help, and thank you for everything you've done for my sister.
It goes straight to my heart.
All right! I don't understand "Everything you've done for my sister"? I told him about the money.
No, he's really happy.
He always worries about me.
Put your gloves on! "When the DVD allows us to revisit an unpopular series" That's the TV critic.
Anne-Sophie something "But it's especially this sweet irony, this subtle 2nd degree that I missed the first time.
We are dealing with a resolutely postmodern body of work blending genres and tones with an astonishing dexterity.
" I don't love you anymore.
Fuck! She's loving it, she's tripping out I stopped loving you a long time ago.
"These writers understands that real life is more unpredictable than the most far-fetched screenplay!" What did you say? Now the question is: is your stuff going to fit in? - For sure! - Great! We'll meet you at your place.
The night of the snow storm, on my way to Pérez, I promised myself that I would leave after this comes to an end.
I don't want to live here anymore.
I don't want to live with you anymore.
- You don't love me anymore? - No.
Are you sure? Do you want to hear something? I've known for a long time.
- Grégory? - This is Jean-Guy.
Jean-Guy, I can't talk to you for very long.
Does Charlène give French kisses to her clients sometimes? OK, this isn't the best time If you tell me that it happens sometimes, then you've got nothing to worry about.
But if she doesn't do French kisses, then it is weird.
I need to go, I have another call.
No, wait We got lost.
My brother has no sense of direction.
Where are you now? We're about to take the exit towards Québec.
- No, seriously - Seriously.
Seriously, are you close? I'm going back to Alma, Patrick.
Enough with this nonsense! Grégory isn't my brother.
He's my boyfriend.
Thank you for everything you've done for me, and for Grégory, because Grégory was in a bad situation, and thanks to you, he got out of it.
I'll never forget.
I mean it.
I'm going to hang up now.
Are you OK? Yes, I'm OK! "Like Valérie, tired and exhausted by so many turnarounds, but stronger than ever after dealing with these impossible challenges where humanity shows its true beauty: truth, lies, justice, injustice, violence, love, life, death.
" "Justice's Law, season one, DVD box set, 3 stars and a half.
" Not so bad.
Juliette gave me her doll.
She said that way I'll have some company when she's not staying with me.
I've always hated that fucking doll, but last night, I swear, I slept with it.
I read episode four one more time.
- It's not bad at all.
- Louise doesn't like the end.
What? What's wrong with the end? She doesn't think it's spectacular enough.
What's the fucking deal? Does it always need to end with an explosion, some giant twist and turn? I'm so tired of this shit! You're right.
Why wouldn't it end on a more normal note? Something like I am sad.
I don't sleep anymore I don't feel like going back to my big empty apartment.
Do you want to crash on my couch? Are you just saying that? No.
I appreciate it.
I'll bring Dorothée the doll.
Is Dorothée a little kinky? That night, Denis did indeed crash on Patrick's couch.
Patrick didn't sleep at all.
Denis didn't sleep at all either.
It was a cold, normal and uneventful evening.
We're moving in together.
- I don't trust you.
- Are you jealous? - She might be a murderer.
- Jean-Guy? My trick isn't working.
I swear I didn't kill him! She's turning you against me.
What's that? I'm planning to clean up my wardrobe, if you see what I mean.
- Drop it! - No! You drop it! - What are you doing? - Drop it! - No, you drop it! - Drop it! - No, you! - OK, I'm warning you.
You said it yourself, I have the same gun as Stallone in Cobra.
- What are you doing here? - I'm saving you from a murderer! No.
Bruno was hiding his dynamite here.
He had a deal with Charlène.
Charlène is a victim of this mess like you and me.
If she's a victim, why did I just find the murder weapon in her wardrobe? I just found this gun in her wardrobe.
Any ballistics expert could easily match the bullets from this gun with the ones found in Bruno's body.
- I don't understand.
This is your gun.
- Yes, I know.
So, you're telling me that your gun killed Bruno? Well, yes.
We'd have to ask a ballistics expert.
And the expert will say that you're the murderer.
No, the gun was in Charlène's wardrobe.
But if we say that we saw you in the wardrobe, with the weapon in your hands, - the expert will think it's weird.
- No, he won't think it's weird because he's an expert! Do you even realize that more and more evidence - is piling up against you? - You have become her puppet.
The murder weapon is in your hands, there's a body in your shed, you're trying to incriminate someone by planting a weapon In my book, you have become suspect number one! Give me this.
- What? - Give me that! All right, guys! I appreciate this attempt to rediscover your manhood, but you aren't convincing anyone with these guns.
The day after tomorrow, I'll sell Bruno's dynamite to the Vermont guys.
The deal will happen at 4:00 pm, in Lacolle, 600 feet south of the intersection of 221 and 202.

Why are you telling us all this? To show you that I don't give a fuck about you.
You are a booger, Denis.
Take your gun, get out of my place and do what you need to do.
Look, I even left my prints on it for good measure.
Now, if you could give me a little privacy, I'd like to go to bed.
I have two big days ahead of me.
I was thinking I might have an idea for episode four, the one with the cartel.
I don't think this is the time and place.

I don't think it's necessary.
- He can't do anything.
- I know Denis.
He won't give up so easily.
- Staying at home is too risky.
- Let's kill him then.
- I was just kidding! - Come on Why are you driving so slow? I have bags loaded with dynamite in my trunk.
I think it's a good reason to drive slow! - Patrick? - Hi, Mom.
I know it's late.
Our heater is broken.
This is my girlfriend.
We're moving in together.

That's right.
Fuck the veggie pizza! I just can't stand those black olives anymore! Let's do a Hawaiian pizza instead.
No, that's it, Michel.
It's all good.
Yes, it's me again.
I'd like to change something else the Diet Coke.
Let's make it a regular Coke.
Thank you, you're awesome.
Excuse me, I forgot something.
Bye, Ricky! - Hello? - I need you to do something.
Call Patrick and tell him that you want to meet him in person right away, OK? Tell him it's super urgent and it can't wait.
I'm at work.
Why don't you call him? Because he won't answer.
So tell him you want to see him.
Tell him something bad happened to me.
Sound very worried, lay it on thick, get the violin out and call me back afterwards.
Do it, no question.

- Hello? - Denis Rondeau.
- Yes? - This is Anne-Sophie Laverdière.
It's just too strange what happened the other day.
It really is my grand-mother's necklace.
And I don't believe your pawnshop story.
Here.
I'm sorry, I wanted to drop by earlier, but I've been really busy lately.
I'm going to be honest with you: I wasn't sure if I should call you.
I even thought about calling the police.
But it's all good, thank you.
And after all, I think I do believe your pawnshop story.
I really believe you.
Look, I really have to run.
I have a phone interview to conduct.
- See you soon! - See you soon.
Is he OK? Where is he right now? He's here, right next to me.
Damn, what a cheap trick! No! Wait! I have to talk to you.
I have news for you.
I think Charlène is innocent after all.
Ricky isn't paralyzed.
He's faking it.
I just caught him ordering a Hawaiian pizza.
Charlène, I must apologize to you.
I jumped to conclusions.
I'm sorry.
That's it? I apologize for spying on you.
I apologize for slapping you.
And I apologize for attempting to plant a semi-automatic weapon in your wardrobe.
It's OK.
I accept your apologies.
And I apologize for telling Patrick that I think you are a pretentious ugly guy who is also a bad father.
Can I now tell you what I wanted to say earlier? As long as apologies have been properly made.
Actually, I think this will somehow round out my apologies.
Charlène, I apologize for telling Claudio that you have the dynamite.
- What an idiot! - Fuck! In a way, it could be worse, it gives you a good reason to hide.
- Now you're not hiding from me.
- Did you tell him this afternoon? I sent him a text message from Bruno's phone.
- So we need to act fast.
- What do you want to do? - We incriminate Ricky.
He's the killer.
- Are you sure? Can you prove it? Stop saying that, you always say the same thing! And I was right the last time.
The guy has been pretending to be paralyzed for a whole month.
He's got something to hide.
And it's a great alibi.
He can't move, so he couldn't physically kill Bruno.
He can't speak, so you can't question him afterwards.
It's smart.
But he made one mistake.
- When? - The Hawaiian pizza! No.
Well before that.
A few hours after we hit him, he left me a message me to tell me that Bruno would take his side.
- Do you remember? I told you.
- Patrick, wake up, that's huge! So he betrayed himself.
Bruno was still alive.
No need for an alibi yet.
We can assume that after this phone call, he went to the clinic.
Yes, to talk about the sexual assault and to rat me out for selling dynamite on the side.
And then, something happened.
Maybe Bruno took your side.
And things got heated Maybe they made love, and Bruno wanted to incorporate a gun - in their sexual games? - Holy shit, you are obsessed! - Danger arouses desire.
- It doesn't matter! - Bruno died.
Ricky freaked out.
- He went back to the motel.
He laid down right where Denis had knocked him out earlier, and he waited to be found.
Could we add another chair? Why? So, that's it.
We're at the point where we can incriminate Ricky.
We're ready to act but we need to be sure that the award won't come back to bite us.
Did you bring the award? And like Denis told you Marc Arcand's character is getting out of jail for sure.
We think he might even help Valérie take her revenge.
He will play a crucial role in the series finale He'll be a master mind of sorts.
I like that! I can't wait to read it.
Well, that's what we're saying, we had no time to write.
Ladies You have time now So, go ahead and write.
No, we don't have - Are you writers? - Yes.
Then write.
Ladies Juju! Yes! The last scene is handwritten.
- The printer died.
- "Episode 4: Marc Arcand Strikes Back.
" Yes I was expecting three full episodes.
We can't write three episodes overnight! One episode is a miracle already.
Let's do a reading.
"But life within the cartel quickly became unbearable.
Operating under a cloud of suspicion can quickly become unbearable.
" "Valérie, someone's at the door asking for you.
" "Tell him to come in, Uncle Gilles.
" "The door opens.
Valérie has a strong reaction.
She's being reunited with a dear old friend.
" - "Marc Arcand!" - "I am back.
My half-sister had my sentence reduced from 25 years to six months.
I heard about your troubles with Pierre.
You are a great attorney.
" "Even if I'm the one who sent you to jail?" "I've learned to forgive while in prison.
And I learned about redemption.
I've forgiven the others.
And mostly, I've forgiven myself.
I think I deserved better from life.
My father was wrong.
He should have known that I deserved better.
He should have known his son deserved better.
" OK, that part is taken care of.
- Now is the time for action.
- What do we do about Claudio? He probably wants to kill everyone.
He has probably chewed his cheek off by now.
Maybe he's not so angry after all.
So you filmed the guy walking and talking? - Exactly.
I have it on my cell.
- And you have the dynamite? Yes.
I'm sorry, do we Are we still talking about the series? Yes, Mom, don't worry.
We're just talking about screenwriting.
Give me two minutes! You bring out your stash.
You send the film to my cell.
You're going to Denis' place with me.
So are you.
You two, stay here.
You don't ask any questions.
And you can just give me a kiss! Claudio's weight increase since Bruno went missing: 12 pounds.
Hi, love, I can finally tell you where I'm hiding.
I'm staying at the Beau-Séjour motel.
Meet me in room 18.
I want you.
We're coming in to write for a little while.
Since Claudio's not here, do you mind if we use his office? I can't see why not.
It's pretty impressive.
He plays his role perfectly.
He's totally committed.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to bring this up It smells really bad in the office.
I think Ricky needs to go to the bathroom.
- It's pretty bad.
- Shit.
Whose turn is it now? Wipe.
And lift.
- Hello? - I'll tell you in five.
OK.
What's Ricky's address? - 2352 Moreau.
- OK, great.
OK.
Let's keep going.
You have two minutes.
It smells so bad in the office, who cares if you shit yourself? I'd like to change something else the Diet Coke.
Let's make it a regular Coke.
- What's going on? - Thank you, you're awesome.
What's this? - Yes, hello? - I don't know who you are, but you're going to pay a very high price for this! - Claudio? - Dan? - Where are you? - You are dead, man! You are dead.
I'm going to kill you! How long were you planning to fuck with me exactly? Easy! This is Ricky's phone.
No! This is Bruno's phone! And you're the one who killed him! But we found the phone in a pouch attached to Ricky's armchair! Come over quick.
Ricky is faking.
He's not paralyzed.
This is not the best timing.
- Can I recover my stash? - What do you mean? You left so quickly.
I want to help you, but I need my stash by 3:00 pm.
Arcand's supposed to bring it back.
- What is he doing? - That's what he said? What have you done with it? Let me call you back.
No Fuck! So, you've been ordering sodas on the QT? How long were you planning to play me like this? You have five seconds to stand up.
It looks like it all came back! I have the feeling that the dynamite is at his place.
It's not true! Charlène's the one who sells dynamite.
I noticed it, and they went after me! He was stealing dynamite.
Bruno figured it out.
- He killed him.
- It's not true! - I haven't done anything.
- Where is the dynamite? I don't know! I don't know! It's not me! - You must have talked to Clive as well! - This is not mine! Fucking Clive! Not very trustworthy, but creative and crafty.
It's not yours? Charlène was the one who sold dynamite.
- These guys are her accomplices! - Pathetic! Did you kill him? It was an accident! He called me in to talk about Charlène.
We talked about her, but he didn't seem to care.
He seemed nervous He was nervous because he saw you right after you got out of jail He said he didn't love you anymore.
He said he didn't know how to deal with you being back.
I just thought I would help him relax I didn't mean any harm So we Shit! We took the gloves out But there was lube everywhere, and the gun just went off.
"The gun just went off"? What do you mean? Yes, it was my idea.
I like incorporating firearms in my sexual practices.
It turns me on.
Danger arouses desire.
I'm sorry, Claudio, I didn't want this.
I switched the gloves, and I went back to the motel.
I was paralyzed, I was freaking out I was collapsing on an emotional level.
So I thought I might as well stay paralyzed for real! So you like horses? Ponies? Yes! I love them, they are my true passion.
- What do you like about horses? - Their freedom.
It's a beautiful creature.
No one would want to hurt Pick him up and drop him at the dump site.
I can't do it all on my own.
Réj, you help him.
OK, you two, come with me.
I'll get the car.
Never again I will never fall in love again.
Can I call my girlfriend to make sure she doesn't worry? No details.
Of course.
- Are you OK? - Yes, everything is OK.
It's just that we're not done working, so we might get home late, but please don't worry, OK? - You can't talk right now? - Absolutely, absolutely.
- Where are you? - Right now I might take the little detour we were talking about yesterday before going home.
You remember, yesterday morning? The place, the time? Should we do anything? No, don't do anything, stay where you are.
We'll see you later, OK? Bye! Bye.
They're going to Lacolle.
- What do you mean? - For the deal.
Holy fuck! Marie, can I borrow your car for a few minutes? I ran out of cigarettes.
I'm going to meet him.
You guys can stay here in case we have some unwanted visitors.
I won't be able to hear you.
So if something happens, just blow the horn, OK? Regarding what happened to Ricky We share some responsibility.
Let's not talk about it.
Think about it.
If we hadn't busted him I don't want to talk about this! What? Should I blow the horn? It looks like my Mom's car.
- Fuck, it's Charlène! - Come on! - What are you doing here? - Did you lie to me? Damn! Are you crazy? Marc Arcand promised to give me back my stash! He's crazy.
You can't believe him.
If Claudio sees you here, he'll think you knew about this.
I thought I could trust you.
I talked to Clive in the car.
Claudio called him back.
He has the dynamite.
We're sorting everything out.
You should thank us.
Don't you understand! I need to find $47,000 in the next two days.
I didn't want to tell you, - but it's a matter of life or death! - I'll give you $47,000.
That's roughly my retirement savings.
You can have it.
Denis will top it off if necessary.
- What? - I love you, Charlène.
We are a couple, this is not an issue.
Go back in the car, please.
What's this? Come on! Fuck! Stop it! - Stop it! - But the police is here! OK, boys.
Charlène, please stay inside his mother's car until the operation is over.
How do you know it's my mother's car? I have my sources.
You should have stayed at Kimberley's.
We weren't told about the plan! It was looking perfect, Judith! A master stroke.
Right? The award was clean, the body was gone for good, Claudio was closing his deal, and we were going back to our normal life.
- It was flawless! - You called me.
I was worried.
You got Pérez involved.
We'll be seen as accomplices.
It's all good.
The situation is already under control.
You can thank Judith.
- We are innocent! - I figured it out a long time ago.
I've been in touch with Christian for a few days.
Your name is Christian? Didn't you notice something weird on that stormy night? The night Juliette ran away, it took me forever to come home You were going to talk to Pérez.
And when I came back, I told you I didn't.
- Did you talk to him? - Yes.
Judith has been keeping me up to date, so we were able to optimize our field strategy.
We'll handcuff you later on, in order to avoid any reprisals from EGG.
We'll take you to the station, but it won't take long.
It will be just another screenwriting experiment.
You owe a big one to your girlfriend.
What is it? A 20-footer? Let's go straight to my place.
No, let's unload first.
Don't you think we have enough room for your stuff and mine? - I don't think so.
- Do you have a freezer? - Just the fridge.
- Patrick, this is Grégory.
He's my brother.
- Hi.
- Nice meeting you.
Thanks for the help.
I'm happy to help, and thank you for everything you've done for my sister.
It goes straight to my heart.
All right! I don't understand "Everything you've done for my sister"? I told him about the money.
No, he's really happy.
He always worries about me.
Put your gloves on! "When the DVD allows us to revisit an unpopular series" That's the TV critic.
Anne-Sophie something "But it's especially this sweet irony, this subtle 2nd degree that I missed the first time.
We are dealing with a resolutely postmodern body of work blending genres and tones with an astonishing dexterity.
" I don't love you anymore.
Fuck! She's loving it, she's tripping out I stopped loving you a long time ago.
"These writers understands that real life is more unpredictable than the most far-fetched screenplay!" What did you say? Now the question is: is your stuff going to fit in? - For sure! - Great! We'll meet you at your place.
The night of the snow storm, on my way to Pérez, I promised myself that I would leave after this comes to an end.
I don't want to live here anymore.
I don't want to live with you anymore.
- You don't love me anymore? - No.
Are you sure? Do you want to hear something? I've known for a long time.
- Grégory? - This is Jean-Guy.
Jean-Guy, I can't talk to you for very long.
Does Charlène give French kisses to her clients sometimes? OK, this isn't the best time If you tell me that it happens sometimes, then you've got nothing to worry about.
But if she doesn't do French kisses, then it is weird.
I need to go, I have another call.
No, wait We got lost.
My brother has no sense of direction.
Where are you now? We're about to take the exit towards Québec.
- No, seriously - Seriously.
Seriously, are you close? I'm going back to Alma, Patrick.
Enough with this nonsense! Grégory isn't my brother.
He's my boyfriend.
Thank you for everything you've done for me, and for Grégory, because Grégory was in a bad situation, and thanks to you, he got out of it.
I'll never forget.
I mean it.
I'm going to hang up now.
Are you OK? Yes, I'm OK! "Like Valérie, tired and exhausted by so many turnarounds, but stronger than ever after dealing with these impossible challenges where humanity shows its true beauty: truth, lies, justice, injustice, violence, love, life, death.
" "Justice's Law, season one, DVD box set, 3 stars and a half.
" Not so bad.
Juliette gave me her doll.
She said that way I'll have some company when she's not staying with me.
I've always hated that fucking doll, but last night, I swear, I slept with it.
I read episode four one more time.
- It's not bad at all.
- Louise doesn't like the end.
What? What's wrong with the end? She doesn't think it's spectacular enough.
What's the fucking deal? Does it always need to end with an explosion, some giant twist and turn? I'm so tired of this shit! You're right.
Why wouldn't it end on a more normal note? Something like I am sad.
I don't sleep anymore I don't feel like going back to my big empty apartment.
Do you want to crash on my couch? Are you just saying that? No.
I appreciate it.
I'll bring Dorothée the doll.
Is Dorothée a little kinky? That night, Denis did indeed crash on Patrick's couch.
Patrick didn't sleep at all.
Denis didn't sleep at all either.
It was a cold, normal and uneventful evening.
