Fortier (2001) s02e04 Episode Script
Episode 4
lt worries me.
Listen to me, instead of talking all the time.
l'm trying to save my neck.
You don't know how to handle Griffin.
l do.
My job is to adapt to people.
Yours is to corner them.
Let me handle it.
Your job Like for Magali's brother.
A girl.
You said it was a girl.
The police method works.
Psychology isn't the only way.
Lucky for you psychology led you to Magali.
lt helped you understand the killer's motive.
The repressed gay brother, jealous of his sister, who follows her and kills her lovers.
Stemming from a strict mother, an absent father.
Not obvious.
l'm not denying your role, just taking the credit l'm due.
Who was it? Who what? Who filed a complaint? l don't know.
lt was about me, not you.
So calm down and be quiet.
Understood? ls that clear? - All right.
- First, l l have a proposal.
l don't like conflicts.
There aren't any.
Etienne Parent filed a complaint against you.
Parent's a moron.
Hold on.
Can you tell me what this has to do with me? Parent's report mentioned tension within the squad.
He never told me.
He didn't complain about you.
lt was about him.
He's not only a moron, he's also an idiot.
You know he's obsessive.
Confusion distresses him.
He needs order.
- He could've talked to me.
- Come on He's strictly by the book.
He followed protocol.
He does have a point.
By being secretive, l confuse everyone with my problem.
l'll make you my special advisor.
l work for the SAS or nowhere.
l tried Financial Crimes.
lt was hell.
- At CAP, you - l said no.
Not Crimes Against Persons, not Narcotics, not Vice.
l belong with the SAS.
lt's them or nothing.
Do you realize who l am? Yes.
l know.
You're the big boss.
The one who risks his own neck to protect me.
Like him.
The spy who can't stand ambiguity.
l wonder why l'm just a cop? - Are you blackmailing us? - You came to get me.
l'm contaminated.
Everyone l tell about my past gets hurt.
What should l do? l don't run after people.
They run after me.
ln Washington, no one questioned me.
These guys are so nosy, worse than a bridge club.
- You have a lot to learn.
- Like what? Anne, cops are human.
Let me deal with the guys.
lf it doesn't suit you, l'll go into private practice.
Hey, Rod.
Need help to start the car? lt's all right.
Suzanne, when are Fortier and the boss due in? l don't know.
SAS.
l'll put you through to a detective.
A complaint about a peeping Tom? Come on Fine.
l'll take it.
Etienne Parent.
Christ.
Dufour, talk to your wife.
Hi, baby.
Yes, baby.
A sauna? lt's mixed? Where? Until what time? No, it's fine.
Just asking.
No problem.
Have fun.
Sure.
Have a good time.
You let her go to a mixed sauna? lt improves the circulation.
What the hell is this? What's in your sandwiches? Fernand.
Mayrand's eating your sandwich.
Christ.
Goddamn.
That'll teach him to steal my lunch.
lt's not funny.
lt is.
Christ.
You should've let me handle it.
Diplomacy was no longer an option.
Listen Congratulations on your last case.
You did well.
Thanks.
You too.
Thanks.
lt's nice to hear it.
lt may not show, but l respect you.
And you have one thing l lack.
- What? - Meanness.
lt's essential to this job.
You're not the only one who's been through this.
Everyone has secrets.
You don't know who l am, where l'm from, what l've done.
And l don't ask.
Because you don't care? lt's none of my business.
l'd like you to ask me questions.
l don't ask questions.
Only in my investigations.
Even pigheaded guys like me have feelings.
Pigheaded feelings can lead to early retirement.
You don't want to know.
You want to know everything and already know too much.
Like it or not, this job gets to you.
l'll tell you something Most people couldn't handle l don't feel anything anymore.
Dead bodies don't affect me anymore.
At a crime scene, l think only of finding a suspect.
lt's like doing my laundry, or raking leaves on my lawn.
We can get used to anything.
Maybe.
Except that Except what? When l get home early, sometimes, l sit down in front of the TV, and watch Teletubbies.
And then l cry.
l cry my eyes out.
l don't know why and l can't help it.
You've got it tough, but so do l.
Let me handle Griffin.
The whole family was killed? Apparently.
Nice to get out of the city for a change.
Same thing, a body in the woods and one downtown.
lt's the environment, not the bodies.
You don't realize the red tape involved when we assist another squad.
l'm not stupid.
We know.
ln your opinion, what kind of crime is it? Sure not a neighbor dispute.
Are the Montreal cops here? On their way.
My crew's inside.
lt's awful.
Everyone liked those people.
l saw Denis last night at baseball.
l was bringing him the glove he left behind.
l found them.
Two are missing.
Who? Denis and little Johannie.
Why not come to me? Aren't complaints confidential? You've got a lot to learn.
Anne, it wasn't to hurt you.
l know.
But it was still stupid.
Your secrets cause stress and hurt the team.
You want to talk to Griffin about the team? ls it that serious? When you stir things up, the squad pays.
Trying to iron things out doesn't affect our budget.
Squads that stir things up give the police a bad name.
The only ones in society who can't afford a bad name are us, the police.
SEX FOR DUMMlES Mayrand, did you know jealousy is a turn-off? lt's the opposite.
- Not according to this.
- You misread it.
When you're jealous, you're horny.
You're wrong.
lt's like when you have a drink.
You're horny, but don't perform as well.
That's why l try to stay calm with Rita.
You're not calm, you're a happy cuckold.
Not happy.
Understanding.
Right.
l'd love my girlfriend to go to mixed saunas.
What's wrong with it? As if you don't know what goes on there.
l'll let you in on a secret.
Tell no one.
lf you do saunas too, out you get.
Not me.
Rita.
l'm not such a chump.
You know lt's a proven fact.
lf a woman is free, she can feel beautiful by seducing other men.
She feels more attracted to her man.
Put her in a cage, and things tend to slip into neutral.
lt says so in the book.
So things are hot between you and Rita? Hot? Hot isn't the word.
lt never stops.
But l have a trick.
You read books? The La-Z-Boy.
The vibrating La-Z-Boy.
Saves you time, and especially energy.
l'm sorry.
l thought that some pressure might force us to talk.
We need to bond as a team.
Bond as a team? This isn't the Boy Scouts.
The country is a good place to bond.
The bodies are still there.
There's no morgue here, just a funeral parlor.
What? They're still there? The forensic expert sent her assistant.
l'm Claire Daignault, the mayor.
Gabriel Johnson.
Dr.
Anne Fortier, psychologist.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Sgt.
Detective Parent.
- Hello.
- Dufour.
- Hello.
- Mayrand.
- Hello.
Everyone's in a state of shock.
l can imagine.
Your colleagues are on the scene.
What did he do for a living? - The father.
- Jacques? He worked at a sawmill.
Not your typical candidate for a revenge killing.
No police record? Not him.
Not anyone.
No one here has a record, as far as l know.
How is it here? Has there ever been violence? A brawl or two each year at the hotel bar.
Where is it? They'll escort you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Let's go.
Ma'am l hope you're not too squeamish.
Daily Times.
Tell us what you know.
Jean-Pierre Legris? My name's Johnson.
That's Dufour.
Mayrand.
Parent.
Dr.
Anne Fortier, psychologist.
Why a psychologist? Because we specialize in murders like this one.
We work with a shrink.
Fine.
l'll put your welcome down to emotion.
- When we found the bodies - Who found them? l did.
Except two of them.
Denis and his youngest sister are missing.
So they could still be alive? They're our priority.
We're looking.
How did you find them? My son's a baseball coach.
The boy was on his team.
He forgot his glove.
Paul gave it to me to deliver.
That's how l found them.
- And then? - We set up a perimeter.
l notified headquarters, who called you.
My team is looking for evidence.
Here come our people.
We'll take over.
Excuse me.
Out of curiosity, what do you think? You really want my opinion? Yes.
lt wasn't a local.
- Boudreault? - Yes.
Johnson.
We'll take over.
Thanks.
We're taking notes.
l'm here if you need me.
Not a pretty sight.
Come see this.
Look, his eye's gone.
- Careful.
- Okay.
Look.
l think l'll look around upstairs.
Do you see what it was done with? Here.
You'll get used to it.
The morgue was hard enough, but fresh like that lt's too much.
Do like Parent.
Listen to music next time.
The sounds don't bother me.
Go figure.
True, we don't have camphor.
But think of the murderer.
That helps.
That's how l got used to it.
Good for you.
But l don't want to bawl over Teletubbies in 10 years.
- Fine.
- l'm sorry.
l'm not nice.
lt's just - lt's emotions.
l understand.
- That's it.
Take a deep breath.
lt's emotions.
Have a piece of gum.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Feel better? Can you give me your first feeling? My first feeling lt was someone from the village.
How do you know? lt's not the work of a mass murderer.
The person who did this didn't just happen to come along.
You think the victims knew the assailant? Would have to be.
Excuse me.
l need to take a walk.
Families are the worst.
Especially the kids.
Kids, grandparents Same thing.
- Not to me.
- People are people.
l know that.
Time counts.
Your mother or your daughter Who would you save if you had to choose? l couldn't.
l'd go crazy.
l'd save my daughter.
And then how could you go on living? l'd shoot myself in the head.
Right.
But now we might save two kids.
l hope so.
These cases get to me.
Yeah.
That big cop Not too friendly.
Not really.
He's pissed off we're stealing his case.
For once, something happens here Don't laugh at country folk.
l have family in the country.
l bet you do.
You're such a farmer.
Mayrand, come here.
Hold on a sec.
Come here.
Hurry up.
Another one.
He found something.
After what l just saw, your complaint seems trivial.
Yeah.
lt's hard.
The father in the garage, the mother in the kitchen, the girl in her room, her stereo demolished.
He didn't like music.
Maybe a neighbor just lost it.
Lots of neighbors around here Right.
Why are the two youngest missing? That confuses me.
Not the two youngest.
l came to tell you, Dufour found the boy.
No, he's We're still short one.
Maybe he finished her off in a field.
Maybe she was kidnapped.
Kill an entire family to steal the 6-year-old? Kidnappers are more discreet.
- lt doesn't add up.
- Not exactly Except lf it's someone who's close, but far away Close to the family, but far from the village.
Until we've cleared the perimeter we can't comb the area.
People may trample on evidence.
Let's hurry up.
l want a search ASAP.
How was the little boy Want to see him? Just describe him.
He probably suffered least.
He was hit from behind and fell face down.
So they were killed with the same weapon, but not the same rage.
So not for the same reason.
We all agree? How did it happen? He killed the mother first.
The eldest was listening to music upstairs.
- How do you know? - Her stereo's wrecked.
She probably didn't hear it happen.
That's why she died in bed.
The boy ran that way.
He caught him and killed him from behind.
He killed the eldest last.
He's extremely tense and confused.
Frustrated enough to destroy the radio.
The father shows up, parks his car Killer hides.
Dad walks in, gets hit in the face.
Falls down and dies.
Makes sense.
What's the motive? Murderous rage? lf it wasn't rage, what was it? Rage towards the mother.
You saw the body.
Seems the other family members were just in the way.
A crime of passion.
Jealousy, rivalry Something intense in an unstable personality.
He just blew up.
Could the murderer be a woman? lf my theory's right, dead or alive, the girl isn't far, nor is the murderer.
We must find her.
The family's from Matane.
Jacques is an orphan.
l don't know his wife.
Don't know of any relatives.
We'll questions everyone.
We'll see.
- l don't know how they'll react.
- Why? They're not expecting questions? lt wasn't someone from around here.
Why's that? We know everyone.
Everyone knows everyone's business here.
But the warning signs aren't always obvious.
Even maniacs need a reason to kill.
Let me do my investigation.
We'll find the motive.
All we ask is your cooperation.
What did l do to you? Don't like your attitude.
- Everyone's upset - What did l do? You were rude to the lady.
Watch it, or l'll make a call.
You'll be taking a vacation.
Everything's fine.
Mrs.
Daignault's right.
Everyone's tense.
l admit, l was all worked up.
But you've got something in mind.
You could at least share your information.
When we have a briefing, you'll be the first to know.
l'll tell you.
Yes, l'll say it.
We don't know.
And we won't know until we find Johannie.
That's why people need to talk to us.
We need you to get them to talk.
l'll let them know you're coming.
- Can l use the phone? - Of course.
Thanks.
Well Yeah, okay.
They just walked in.
Yeah, yeah Right.
You're the city guys? News travels fast.
You're not afraid of cops? l don't know anything.
That little hell-raiser.
Seen any strangers around? No one strange? Strange, how? Aggressive, depressed Anyone behaving unusually? The play on third lt's crap.
Paul, change it.
Rodrigue, the cops are here about the Desmarais.
You knew them well? Get serious.
This is no joke.
None of my business, but if you keep serving that guy, you could be failing to assist a person in danger.
l'd rather he be here with me where l can watch him.
We keep an eye on him.
Don't we, Rod? Look l don't care about his car.
Why's he crying over a guy he doesn't know? The bitch Don't do that again.
l'm not letting a backwoods cop intimidate my crew.
Don't do it again.
lt doesn't help.
We look like bullies showing them how to do their job.
So do your job and let me do mine.
l know how to handle my peers.
One job requires one boss.
lf it's not clear from the start, it becomes chaos.
Thanks.
Don't strain yourself.
You're so attentive.
A gallant knight.
Lancelot.
l feel totally safe with you.
The mayor's lost control of the situation.
Legris has taken over.
lt's not surprising.
ln an isolated place, the cops rule.
l don't get what happened to the little girl.
Me neither.
- You don't get it either? - lt's not a spousal homicide.
The father didn't commit suicide.
He died like the others.
lt's too bizarre to be a quarrel or revenge.
lt's not organized crime.
He worked at a sawmill The way they cut trees down is a crime, but Pardon me? - Pardon me? - What? - You feel for trees? - Sure.
You have a heart? l'm going to faint.
Lancelot! - What? - Lancelot.
What? Seriously.
The kids are the key.
You didn't say ''bitch'' because you loved her.
l said that because Jacques was my buddy.
Her Her His wife? Sylvie.
She wouldn't let him see me, because l'd make him drink.
Cruel world.
Do you have an alibi? - An alibi? - Just in case.
You didn't like her, and you seem out of it.
He was here.
Until when? - Well - 1 1 :00 p.
m.
? Earlier than that.
What time? Around 8:00 p.
m.
Look The victims all died around 1 1 :00 p.
m.
Got another alibi? So? The girl's teacher noticed changes in her.
- What? - More spaced out.
Spaced out? Unstable.
lt doesn't necessarily mean that.
And you call me obsessive Let's get the symptoms straight.
She also said ''moody.
'' That could mean ''unstable.
'' She couldn't stand her brother.
That's all l know.
A 6-year-old didn't massacre her family.
She couldn't stand her brother.
Go on Sibling rivalry.
The boy was popular.
Good marks, athletic, the works.
Bingo! But we didn't hit the jackpot.
We have a possible suspect.
Problem is, he can hardly stand up.
A drunk.
A friend of Desmarais.
The lady didn't like him.
He still hates her guts even though she's dead.
He's not even hiding it.
The bar owner treats us like tax collectors.
This will take a while.
You still say the killer's around? Then where's the girl? l'm not thinking clearly.
l'm a bit lost.
Want some coffee? l'll keep talking to people until it becomes clearer.
There's a hitch.
lf the killer's in the village He seems pretty cool, judging from the way he kills.
So what? Could he strike again? There could be more victims.
How do you know he's not watching us now, ready to shoot us from behind at any moment? Sure you want to talk to everybody? l'll take you back to the office so you can think about it.
- What do you mean? - No.
lf l don't feel it, l can't understand it.
l won't go until the girl is found.
l like horror flicks, but it doesn't make me a killer.
You sure come straight to the point.
Gilles Duguay.
This is my club.
Don't see what's happened here like one of your films.
l hate losing customers.
That's very touching.
l know nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing.
l have nothing to say.
- What do you know? - l was in town buying videos.
Alone? Sure.
Don't need my girlfriend for that.
Can someone where you bought the films vouch for you? Yeah.
What was the time? lt closes at 5:00 p.
m.
l ate, then came back.
At what time? l didn't kill them.
All the better.
We're eliminating possible suspects.
Sooner you answer, sooner you're cleared.
- l couldn't have done it.
- Why? They died at 1 1 :00 p.
m.
l got in at midnight.
Who said that? Who said what? Who told you when they died? Keep it up.
Stay alert.
Throw to first.
Good.
Throw to first.
Good.
Keep going.
You can do it, Simon.
Get in pairs and throw to each other.
lt helps take their mind off it.
And you? Did they find the kids? Denis.
Like the rest of the family.
Johannie? Dad.
The little girl? We're combing the area.
Coming? l can't leave my kids.
Never mind.
l'll keep you posted.
Legris is an idiot.
Did he forget what he learned at cop school? You don't brief people before interrogating them.
He didn't want people to get into trouble.
lt was to protect them.
But he's undermining us.
Don't tell Johnson.
He'll deck him.
He hates him more than Durivage.
- My wife Caroline.
- Hello.
Hi.
Were you here last night? Yes.
Went to bed early? Yes.
Around when? l always go to bed early.
After the club closed.
Around 1 1 :00 p.
m.
? Yes.
That's early? Yes.
They want to know if you were asleep when l got in.
Yes? So you recall what time he came in? About midnight? Think of a better story.
We'll be back.
- Thanks.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
No one crosses the perimeter.
We'll make four groups.
One will do the field in front.
The others will do the back and follow the stream.
We'll start once everyone arrives.
We'll go one kilometer and come back.
Fernand No playing with the dog.
Stay.
You're a bad dog, Fernand.
The video guy has no alibi.
l doubt it's him.
So, yes or no? He's too cool.
He could do a clean job, but not a mess like this.
Fernand! Look at him go.
Leave her alone.
He's mounting her.
- Get him castrated.
- That could make him fat.
That explains your You bag of bones.
Leave her alone.
Look at that.
Fernand, stay! Stay! Don't go there! Don't let him in.
Whose dog is that? Where did he go? lt's not funny.
Come here.
lt's not our house.
Damn dog.
Come on.
Damn dog.
You could've left him in the city.
Listen to me, instead of talking all the time.

l'm not such a chump.
You know lt's a proven fact.
lf a woman is free, she can feel beautiful by seducing other men.
She feels more attracted to her man.
Put her in a cage, and things tend to slip into neutral.
lt says so in the book.
So things are hot between you and Rita? Hot? Hot isn't the word.
lt never stops.
But l have a trick.
You read books? The La-Z-Boy.
The vibrating La-Z-Boy.
Saves you time, and especially energy.
l'm sorry.
l thought that some pressure might force us to talk.
We need to bond as a team.
Bond as a team? This isn't the Boy Scouts.
The country is a good place to bond.
The bodies are still there.
There's no morgue here, just a funeral parlor.
What? They're still there? The forensic expert sent her assistant.
l'm Claire Daignault, the mayor.
Gabriel Johnson.
Dr.
Anne Fortier, psychologist.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Sgt.
Detective Parent.
- Hello.
- Dufour.
- Hello.
- Mayrand.
- Hello.
Everyone's in a state of shock.
l can imagine.
Your colleagues are on the scene.
What did he do for a living? - The father.
- Jacques? He worked at a sawmill.
Not your typical candidate for a revenge killing.
No police record? Not him.
Not anyone.
No one here has a record, as far as l know.
How is it here? Has there ever been violence? A brawl or two each year at the hotel bar.
Where is it? They'll escort you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Let's go.
Ma'am l hope you're not too squeamish.
Daily Times.
Tell us what you know.
Jean-Pierre Legris? My name's Johnson.
That's Dufour.
Mayrand.
Parent.
Dr.
Anne Fortier, psychologist.
Why a psychologist? Because we specialize in murders like this one.
We work with a shrink.
Fine.
l'll put your welcome down to emotion.
- When we found the bodies - Who found them? l did.
Except two of them.
Denis and his youngest sister are missing.
So they could still be alive? They're our priority.
We're looking.
How did you find them? My son's a baseball coach.
The boy was on his team.
He forgot his glove.
Paul gave it to me to deliver.
That's how l found them.
- And then? - We set up a perimeter.
l notified headquarters, who called you.
My team is looking for evidence.
Here come our people.
We'll take over.
Excuse me.
Out of curiosity, what do you think? You really want my opinion? Yes.
lt wasn't a local.
- Boudreault? - Yes.
Johnson.
We'll take over.
Thanks.
We're taking notes.
l'm here if you need me.
Not a pretty sight.
Come see this.
Look, his eye's gone.
- Careful.
- Okay.
Look.
l think l'll look around upstairs.
Do you see what it was done with? Here.
You'll get used to it.
The morgue was hard enough, but fresh like that lt's too much.
Do like Parent.
Listen to music next time.
The sounds don't bother me.
Go figure.
True, we don't have camphor.
But think of the murderer.
That helps.
That's how l got used to it.
Good for you.
But l don't want to bawl over Teletubbies in 10 years.
- Fine.
- l'm sorry.
l'm not nice.
lt's just - lt's emotions.
l understand.
- That's it.
Take a deep breath.
lt's emotions.
Have a piece of gum.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Feel better? Can you give me your first feeling? My first feeling lt was someone from the village.
How do you know? lt's not the work of a mass murderer.
The person who did this didn't just happen to come along.
You think the victims knew the assailant? Would have to be.
Excuse me.
l need to take a walk.
Families are the worst.
Especially the kids.
Kids, grandparents Same thing.
- Not to me.
- People are people.
l know that.
Time counts.
Your mother or your daughter Who would you save if you had to choose? l couldn't.
l'd go crazy.
l'd save my daughter.
And then how could you go on living? l'd shoot myself in the head.
Right.
But now we might save two kids.
l hope so.
These cases get to me.
Yeah.
That big cop Not too friendly.
Not really.
He's pissed off we're stealing his case.
For once, something happens here Don't laugh at country folk.
l have family in the country.
l bet you do.
You're such a farmer.
Mayrand, come here.
Hold on a sec.
Come here.
Hurry up.
Another one.
He found something.
After what l just saw, your complaint seems trivial.
Yeah.
lt's hard.
The father in the garage, the mother in the kitchen, the girl in her room, her stereo demolished.
He didn't like music.
Maybe a neighbor just lost it.
Lots of neighbors around here Right.
Why are the two youngest missing? That confuses me.
Not the two youngest.
l came to tell you, Dufour found the boy.
No, he's We're still short one.
Maybe he finished her off in a field.
Maybe she was kidnapped.
Kill an entire family to steal the 6-year-old? Kidnappers are more discreet.
- lt doesn't add up.
- Not exactly Except lf it's someone who's close, but far away Close to the family, but far from the village.
Until we've cleared the perimeter we can't comb the area.
People may trample on evidence.
Let's hurry up.
l want a search ASAP.
How was the little boy Want to see him? Just describe him.
He probably suffered least.
He was hit from behind and fell face down.
So they were killed with the same weapon, but not the same rage.
So not for the same reason.
We all agree? How did it happen? He killed the mother first.
The eldest was listening to music upstairs.
- How do you know? - Her stereo's wrecked.
She probably didn't hear it happen.
That's why she died in bed.
The boy ran that way.
He caught him and killed him from behind.
He killed the eldest last.
He's extremely tense and confused.
Frustrated enough to destroy the radio.
The father shows up, parks his car Killer hides.
Dad walks in, gets hit in the face.
Falls down and dies.
Makes sense.
What's the motive? Murderous rage? lf it wasn't rage, what was it? Rage towards the mother.
You saw the body.
Seems the other family members were just in the way.
A crime of passion.
Jealousy, rivalry Something intense in an unstable personality.
He just blew up.
Could the murderer be a woman? lf my theory's right, dead or alive, the girl isn't far, nor is the murderer.
We must find her.
The family's from Matane.
Jacques is an orphan.
l don't know his wife.
Don't know of any relatives.
We'll questions everyone.
We'll see.
- l don't know how they'll react.
- Why? They're not expecting questions? lt wasn't someone from around here.
Why's that? We know everyone.
Everyone knows everyone's business here.
But the warning signs aren't always obvious.
Even maniacs need a reason to kill.
Let me do my investigation.
We'll find the motive.
All we ask is your cooperation.
What did l do to you? Don't like your attitude.
- Everyone's upset - What did l do? You were rude to the lady.
Watch it, or l'll make a call.
You'll be taking a vacation.
Everything's fine.
Mrs.
Daignault's right.
Everyone's tense.
l admit, l was all worked up.
But you've got something in mind.
You could at least share your information.
When we have a briefing, you'll be the first to know.
l'll tell you.
Yes, l'll say it.
We don't know.
And we won't know until we find Johannie.
That's why people need to talk to us.
We need you to get them to talk.
l'll let them know you're coming.
- Can l use the phone? - Of course.
Thanks.
Well Yeah, okay.
They just walked in.
Yeah, yeah Right.
You're the city guys? News travels fast.
You're not afraid of cops? l don't know anything.
That little hell-raiser.
Seen any strangers around? No one strange? Strange, how? Aggressive, depressed Anyone behaving unusually? The play on third lt's crap.
Paul, change it.
Rodrigue, the cops are here about the Desmarais.
You knew them well? Get serious.
This is no joke.
None of my business, but if you keep serving that guy, you could be failing to assist a person in danger.
l'd rather he be here with me where l can watch him.
We keep an eye on him.
Don't we, Rod? Look l don't care about his car.
Why's he crying over a guy he doesn't know? The bitch Don't do that again.
l'm not letting a backwoods cop intimidate my crew.
Don't do it again.
lt doesn't help.
We look like bullies showing them how to do their job.
So do your job and let me do mine.
l know how to handle my peers.
One job requires one boss.
lf it's not clear from the start, it becomes chaos.
Thanks.
Don't strain yourself.
You're so attentive.
A gallant knight.
Lancelot.
l feel totally safe with you.
The mayor's lost control of the situation.
Legris has taken over.
lt's not surprising.
ln an isolated place, the cops rule.
l don't get what happened to the little girl.
Me neither.
- You don't get it either? - lt's not a spousal homicide.
The father didn't commit suicide.
He died like the others.
lt's too bizarre to be a quarrel or revenge.
lt's not organized crime.
He worked at a sawmill The way they cut trees down is a crime, but Pardon me? - Pardon me? - What? - You feel for trees? - Sure.
You have a heart? l'm going to faint.
Lancelot! - What? - Lancelot.
What? Seriously.
The kids are the key.
You didn't say ''bitch'' because you loved her.
l said that because Jacques was my buddy.
Her Her His wife? Sylvie.
She wouldn't let him see me, because l'd make him drink.
Cruel world.
Do you have an alibi? - An alibi? - Just in case.
You didn't like her, and you seem out of it.
He was here.
Until when? - Well - 1 1 :00 p.
m.
? Earlier than that.
What time? Around 8:00 p.
m.
Look The victims all died around 1 1 :00 p.
m.
Got another alibi? So? The girl's teacher noticed changes in her.
- What? - More spaced out.
Spaced out? Unstable.
lt doesn't necessarily mean that.
And you call me obsessive Let's get the symptoms straight.
She also said ''moody.
'' That could mean ''unstable.
'' She couldn't stand her brother.
That's all l know.
A 6-year-old didn't massacre her family.
She couldn't stand her brother.
Go on Sibling rivalry.
The boy was popular.
Good marks, athletic, the works.
Bingo! But we didn't hit the jackpot.
We have a possible suspect.
Problem is, he can hardly stand up.
A drunk.
A friend of Desmarais.
The lady didn't like him.
He still hates her guts even though she's dead.
He's not even hiding it.
The bar owner treats us like tax collectors.
This will take a while.
You still say the killer's around? Then where's the girl? l'm not thinking clearly.
l'm a bit lost.
Want some coffee? l'll keep talking to people until it becomes clearer.
There's a hitch.
lf the killer's in the village He seems pretty cool, judging from the way he kills.
So what? Could he strike again? There could be more victims.
How do you know he's not watching us now, ready to shoot us from behind at any moment? Sure you want to talk to everybody? l'll take you back to the office so you can think about it.
- What do you mean? - No.
lf l don't feel it, l can't understand it.
l won't go until the girl is found.
l like horror flicks, but it doesn't make me a killer.
You sure come straight to the point.
Gilles Duguay.
This is my club.
Don't see what's happened here like one of your films.
l hate losing customers.
That's very touching.
l know nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing.
l have nothing to say.
- What do you know? - l was in town buying videos.
Alone? Sure.
Don't need my girlfriend for that.
Can someone where you bought the films vouch for you? Yeah.
What was the time? lt closes at 5:00 p.
m.
l ate, then came back.
At what time? l didn't kill them.
All the better.
We're eliminating possible suspects.
Sooner you answer, sooner you're cleared.
- l couldn't have done it.
- Why? They died at 1 1 :00 p.
m.
l got in at midnight.
Who said that? Who said what? Who told you when they died? Keep it up.
Stay alert.
Throw to first.
Good.
Throw to first.
Good.
Keep going.
You can do it, Simon.
Get in pairs and throw to each other.
lt helps take their mind off it.
And you? Did they find the kids? Denis.
Like the rest of the family.
Johannie? Dad.
The little girl? We're combing the area.
Coming? l can't leave my kids.
Never mind.
l'll keep you posted.
Legris is an idiot.
Did he forget what he learned at cop school? You don't brief people before interrogating them.
He didn't want people to get into trouble.
lt was to protect them.
But he's undermining us.
Don't tell Johnson.
He'll deck him.
He hates him more than Durivage.
- My wife Caroline.
- Hello.
Hi.
Were you here last night? Yes.
Went to bed early? Yes.
Around when? l always go to bed early.
After the club closed.
Around 1 1 :00 p.
m.
? Yes.
That's early? Yes.
They want to know if you were asleep when l got in.
Yes? So you recall what time he came in? About midnight? Think of a better story.
We'll be back.
- Thanks.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
No one crosses the perimeter.
We'll make four groups.
One will do the field in front.
The others will do the back and follow the stream.
We'll start once everyone arrives.
We'll go one kilometer and come back.
Fernand No playing with the dog.
Stay.
You're a bad dog, Fernand.
The video guy has no alibi.
l doubt it's him.
So, yes or no? He's too cool.
He could do a clean job, but not a mess like this.
Fernand! Look at him go.
Leave her alone.
He's mounting her.
- Get him castrated.
- That could make him fat.
That explains your You bag of bones.
Leave her alone.
Look at that.
Fernand, stay! Stay! Don't go there! Don't let him in.
Whose dog is that? Where did he go? lt's not funny.
Come here.
lt's not our house.
Damn dog.
Come on.
Damn dog.
You could've left him in the city.
