Fortier (2001) s02e06 Episode Script
Episode 6
Fetch the ball, Fernand.
Go! Paul Legris? Cpl.
Etienne Parent, SAS.
You're to come with us.
What's up? What do you want? We're taking you to the city to be in a line-up.
So enthusiastic.
- My coat.
- You'll need it.
Mind the store.
Yes? Come with us, please.
We're going to the city.
ls this a joke? We need you for our investigation.
Me? We're trying to identify witnesses.
Dr.
Fortier She thinks the victims knew the assailant.
Who else is going? Duguay, Lemire, Lefèvre and your son.
Paul? What for? We're looking for Sylvie Desmarais' lover.
We'll start with guys we know match the profile, then we'll see.
Let's go.
Move it.
Get dressed.
l'm coming.
How's the little girl? Kathleen took her to the fair, to take her mind off it.
Poor girl.
Where are you at with the investigation? Looks like a crime of passion.
Passion implies love.
Love implies the mother may have had a lover.
Johnson's lining up the potential suspects.
lf any of them refuse, l'd be interested to know why.
l prefer Financial Crimes.
lt's cooler.
So to speak.
- Less emotional? - Yes, that's it.
Although it would be nice to play the hero.
A tough guy like Mayrand, or a supercop like Dufour.
That's life.
lt wasn't my destiny.
l wouldn't mind a bit more action, though.
You never know.
Can l ask you something? Just about anything at all.
Have you heard any rumors about me? - Nothing? - No, why? Griffin wants to reassign me.
Why? You know nothing? No clue what you're talking about.
l know you were a bit confused for a while, but l didn't know it had to do with Griffin.
- Too bad.
- l'm an accountant.
l like when two plus two make four.
l have a good accountant joke.
There's an accounting clerk, a CGA and a CA doing a client's books.
Client asks the clerk, ''What's two plus two?'' Clerk replies ''Four.
'' Client thanks him.
Goes and asks the CGA the same question.
CGA says ''Five.
You have to add the taxes.
'' Client thanks him and goes to see the chartered accountant.
Asks the same question Guess what the chartered accountant says? How much do you want it to equal? - Don't find it funny? - Sure.
Was l out of line? Sorry, l was thinking about Johannnie.
The bill, please.
You'd make a good mother.
Where are you going? Sorry, l forgot l had an appointment.
Don't worry.
l'll pay.
- Are you sure? - lt's on me.
- Thanks.
- My pleasure.
- See you later.
- See you.
l can keep looking for the weapon.
No, let's start by identifying the suspect.
lt was probably one of them who shot at us.
l'd bet it was Duguay.
By saying, l lose a client.
So shut up.
Why Duguay? His wife came to me with a black eye.
He's jealous.
Since when do defense lawyers work with cops? You didn't hear it.
You either, Jean-Marie.
Didn't even see him.
l don't think so He's at the center of it.
- Duguay? - Yes.
l came across this.
The girl's father and Duguay's girlfriend? How old was she? lt was about five years ago.
She was 1 7 or 18? You should go back to town.
That's where the action will be.
Lt.
Johnson! - You won't tell us anything? - Can't say what l don't know.
Let's go.
Have a seat.
Thanks for coming.
l almost didn't come.
Really? Why? l don't understand your attitude.
Don't trust me anymore? The police administration.
That's not nice.
After all we've done for you.
l didn't say l still trust Johnson.
You could have told me you want him to replace me.
l can't go back on it.
The secret could get out.
l don't want that to happen.
Do you? The guys will keep asking you about it.
lf one reporter gets wind of your story Fine.
l get it.
Give me a chance to make them understand.
What guarantees us they won't talk? Friendship.
Believe me, you'd be better off as my advisor.
This is tantamount to blackmail.
Tell me about the murdered family case.
How's it going? You should ask Johnson about that.
We'll take measurements later.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So, the woman wasn't raped? l'm waiting for the results, but it doesn't seem so.
They want a collective funeral.
They need the bodies.
- Any news? - The murder weapon would help.
- Beaten to death? - They died of their injuries.
All four of them? Yes.
You saw the mother got the worst.
A blunt object.
An iron rod? l don't think so.
The diameter is too great.
They were hit hard.
- Bring them in? - Yes, l Hold on.
l'll see if the girl's there first.
Resentments shouldn't get in the way.
lt's not my style.
No, deadpan humor is more your style.
Hey, Fernand.
- Where's the girl? - With Kathleen at the fair.
- The fair? - The place with all the rides.
My favorite is the log ride.
Ever tried it? Must be nice to take off anytime you like.
- Anne? - l don't know.
You don't know? She had lunch with Thomas.
Then, l don't know.
She'll be back.
She knew we were coming.
You're pretty tense.
lt's hard on your heart.
l have five suspects whose lives depend on a 6-year-old.
They're in the truck.
Media is after me.
Please, Suzanne.
Get me Fortier and the girl ASAP.
Johannie! We can hear you.
- Can you see me? - Yes.
You can see me, but l can't see you.
Hold on.
Come here.
Could you turn down the lights? Can you see Kathleen? l can see you.
See? lt's a new game.
The other room is like a theater.
A puppet theater? You like puppets? Yes.
lt's a bit like that, but with real people.
lt's like a game but it's not really a game.
lt's called ''Like, don't like, and don't want to see him.
'' While you're in the other room, people will come in here.
Say who you like, who you don't, and for one just one person you'll say: ''Don't want to see him.
'' Understand? You want me to tell you who came into my house? Anne, l have to talk to you.
Stay here.
Don't move.
Sure it's okay for Johannie? What do you want me to do? Sign a release? lt's a conflict of interest.
Are you a shrink or a cop? l'm liking this less and less.
She's fine.
You saw her.
She figured out what we're doing.
She's not stupid.
She's 6, not 2.
l'm going ahead.
l'll get the police to remove her.
We are the police.
My job is to make sure we're not putting a minor in danger.
Trust me.
Let me get her ready.
lf you're still unsure, we'll talk it over.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's cut the crap.
You first.
Why do l have to face Johannie? You'll line up with two of my men.
lf she picks anyone, then she's not reliable.
Except l live in the village.
Tell the truth.
Am l a suspect like the others? l don't like what happened at the motel.
Neither do l.
Nothing to say? Let the discipline committee question me.
l'm begging your cooperation.
l'm on my hands and knees.
l'm getting blisters.
lf it's cooperation you want, give me a clue.
The bullets were from a hunting rifle.
Not about that.
About the murders.
Show me you can trust me.
l'll do the same.
Hand me the file.
Ashes on the floor at the house.
Mean anything to you? Now it's your turn.
Who shot at my men? You don't have a suspect, but maybe you have a hunch? Duguay.
The video club guy.
Mayrand screwed his wife.
She talked.
Get me Mayrand.
l don't want you to do it if you don't want to.
l want to.
Sure? You understand what l told you? No one can see you from there.
Only you can see.
You couldn't see Kathleen.
lt'll be the same.
Will l be able to talk? Of course.
But they won't hear you.
We'll turn off the microphone.
lt'll be like in my hiding place.
Your hiding place? Where we found you in your house? There's lots of police here to protect you.
l want to.
What will you do after? After? After l did it? Then it'll be over.
But then after will Mommy and Daddy come back? Where were you? Does all your hand-washing irritate your skin? Johnson's pretty irritated.
He's going to skin you alive.
What did l do? The video club girl told everyone you slept with her.
She's crazy.
Crazy or not, he wants to talk to you.
Just between us, something's on your mind, and on your record, too.
What? We looked you up in the G7.
Lucky you still have your gun.
They warned me about you, you bastard.
- Who did? - People.
People? ''Us'' and ''them'' are the same to you.
''Them'' being criminals? That's a low blow.
l'm a cop, like you.
Don't treat me like that.
You put your wife's lover in the hospital.
That's in the past.
The past has a way of coming back to haunt you.
Have a cup of coffee.
lt's not good to turn him against you.
What makes you say that? He once almost killed his wife's lover.
Savaria mentioned another case of domestic violence.
- The victims? - Duguay.
Mayrand, the moron slept with his wife.
Mayrand? - That explains the shooting - Duguay.
Fun and games.
- ls the girl ready? - She's ready.
- Everything is ready.
- Good.
You're the biggest idiot l've ever seen.
l didn't touch her.
DNA test might prove otherwise.
Leave it alone.
You think you're the President? - l swear it's not true.
- Get off it, not true.
How will we explain you screwed the killer's wife? l'd never do that.
Why would she say that? You've always had more balls than brains.
l swear, damn it.
And then you lie to me.
That really infuriates me.
She was cute and very willing.
She's not involved.
Ever think he was the one who shot at you? File a complaint against Duguay.
Put Jean-Marie on.
Can't you watch him? Do l need to go? Everything's fine.
The murdered woman wasn't raped.
The results just came in.
lt was just a murder l need the entire report, now.
Give me Mayrand.
- Yeah? - Take a cold shower, now! Yeah, right.
l'll be her lawyer.
Child Protection decides that.
- Kathleen said that? - Of course not What are you here for? Getting some details about a client.
Call me.
l'll help you.
lt's just an old case l wanted to close.
Everyone's here? Can we start? - She's ready when you are.
- Perfect.
Can l talk to you? As pleasant as usual.
Savaria - What about him? - He's here pretty often.
- He's allowed.
- But l'm the prosecutor.
lf you get in a jam, you're on your own.
He's here once in a while.
He probably gets a client or two, but we don't care.
But he's got no business in the room.
You're out of luck.
What was the question? Do you know how many blows Approximately, yes.
The little girl, three.
The boy, one.
The mother? Pure carnage.
l don't know.
Too many.
''Carnage'' has one ''n'' or two? - Two.
- No, one.
About how many blows? To put her in that state, at least 20 if not 30, maybe 40 blows.
Did she resist? l hate it when my pen leaks.
Her position, muscle state and biochemistry indicate a defensive position.
Watch carefully.
What are you doing? That's it.
Sure l was scared.
You were about to hit me.
Forearm fracture.
When a knife is used, there are lacerations.
Right.
Lacerations.
The father and son are there Here we are.
You're not afraid of me anymore? What's your favorite TV show? Teletubbies.
Me too! Anne told you what we're going to do? They'll come in and - She knows what to do.
- Okay.
Ready? Let's start.
Sit down.
- Thanks.
- Yes Some people are lucky.
''Take a cold shower.
'' ls he a cop or a priest? Told you not to screw with evidence.
Come on! lf l told you what she wanted me to do - You'd flip.
- Tell me.
l love smut.
l'm not like that.
lt's too juicy.
You have scruples? lf she comes on strong l freeze up.
l'm the man.
l never noticed.
You're funny, my friend.
Hi.
You You still wear pyjamas when you sleep with Rita.
What's wrong? Look at you.
lt bugs you if l mention Rita.
But if l shut up, you laugh at her.
- l'm not laughing at Rita.
- You're always laughing at her.
lt's pissing me off.
l wasn't laughing at Rita.
l was laughing at you in your pyjamas.
Screw you! Let's change the subject.
This is too touchy.
l wonder if they know who did it by now.
- $10 on the backwoods cop.
- $1 ,000 on the drunk.
- Okay.
- Will it take long? Half an hour should do it.
Ready, guys? One by one.
François says go.
What order? Him.
Him.
You, J.
C.
Sonny.
You and you.
François goes last.
You'll hear the instructions through the speaker.
- Ready? - Yes.
Here.
- François? - Yes? No.
1 .
lt's Mr.
Legris.
Yes.
Remember our game? So? Like, don't like or don't want to see him? Like.
Witness No.
2.
Lower your arm.
He's nice.
He always gives me chocolate.
Witness No.
3.
Really? Sure he's the man of your life? - Well, maybe.
- Maybe is like you're not sure.
Cut it out.
You're making me uncomfortable.
SAS? - lt's over? - Not yet.
l'm biting my nails to the bone.
lt's nerve-wracking.
Girl's calmer than l am.
- How many are out? - Two.
Who? You decide.
We'll stop if you don't feel like it.
You'll have to get me more solid evidence than this.
Give her time.
Get it? lf it annoys you, leave.
Pardon me? You want evidence? Let us work.
We should maintain the atmosphere.
Aggressiveness and impatience are Get it? Next.
Lower your arm.
We're still playing the game? Like, don't like, don't want to see him.
l'll deal with him.
We'll take you home.
Thanks for your cooperation.
You're going elsewhere.
- What? - Your wife pressed charges, and you tried to kill two of my men.
Not bad.
l don't believe it.
lt's not true.
Take him away.
l want a lawyer.
You'll be examined by the doctor, then we'll do a number on you.
- l'm not sick.
- Not that kind of doctor.
Her.
What'll it be? How do you want to proceed? You'll make a statement or shall l question you? Case PT43-25-2001 -AF Paul Legris, age 35.
You don't have to answer my questions.
But if you do, you can stop anytime and request a lawyer.
You knew nothing about it.
l knew about Sylvie.
You could have told us.
l knew Paul loved her.
But that's all.
When l realized what happened, l panicked.
You still could have told us.
As a cop, l should've told you.
But as a father, never.
To tell you, l would've had to believe it.
And if l did, l'd have shot myself in the head.
l didn't want to.
Didn't want to kill her.
Mr.
Legris How many times did you hit her? l don't know.
l don't remember.
l don't remember anything.
lt was like l was in another world.
l was You were hurting? Yes.
l was hurting.
Sylvie She was everything to me.
She had no right to do that to me.
She told me she didn't love him anymore.
She was going to leave him.
Didn't give you the right to kill them.
You had no right to kill them.
l didn't know what l was doing.
lt was like lf l couldn't have her, nobody would.
Nobody.
l was the one who loved her, not him.
How did you kill them? With what? Why did she do it? Why? More scared than hurt.
l'll be the judge of that.
Now you know why we have rules.
Keep your gun in your drawer.
What have l done? He probably would've killed all of you, then himself.
lt was a reflex.
A good one.
The guy had no criminal record.
- l checked.
- The forensic report is clear.
He was a baseball coach.
Baseball bat can kill.
But l still killed him.
Don't think about it.
l killed him.
lt was either you or him.
l didn't try talking or reasoning with him.
You did the right thing.
A guy who wipes out an entire family can't be reasoned with or controlled.
You did what you could.
But my job is to talk to people, not shoot them.
Yes, but Anne l know what you're feeling but it has nothing to do with what we know.
Nothing.
Everything has to do with it.
Stop it! We'll wait for Kathleen, then we'll go for dinner.
Hungry? What's going on? What do you want, Johannie? l want Anne.
Anne doesn't have kids.
She has me.
You won't be alone, l promise.
We'll find you a nice family.
That's what you need.
l want Anne and Fernand.
Go eat with Louis.
We'll talk about it after.
Give this to Anne.
What do you want to eat? Spaghetti and a cookie? Why do l do this job? l must be a masochist.
lt takes someone to solve what others just watch on the news.
- Where are they? - lnside, cleaning up the mess.
Fortier's in rough shape.
Can l buy you a beer? A lemonade? A double lemonade.
l have a job to do first.
l put four sugars.
- The investigation? - l'll sort it out with Griffin.
You have nothing to worry about.
l don't know how to convince you.
- lt was self-defense.
- Yeah The worst that can happen is you'll get a medal of honor.
That's better.
l don't like seeing my staff depressed.
Especially the strongest one.
Something's missing.
What's missing? He kills his mistress because she stays with her husband Let it go.
lt's over, okay? Have you seen many cases like this? Well, l l've seen it all.
That's why l watch Teletubbies .
The opposite, maybe They weren't close enough for it to come to this.
Why not? Well To kill her maybe.
But to kill her with such rage His heart would really have to have been broken.
How can you judge this guy's emotions? l'm not judging.
l just don't understand.
l have a present for you.
l'm jealous.
Oh, yes.
Hey, guys Not him again.
Say you love me.
Ever seen an injured pit bull? You leave him alone or he'll bite you.
Sit down.
l'll buy a round of lemonade.
Christ.
Not that we don't like you, but lt's not that we don't like you.
We do.
We're having a discussion.
l guess your lips are sealed.
''Sylvie, my love, ''lt can't be over.
l don't want to lose you.
''You can't do this to me.
''You can't keep my daughter from me.
'' You can't keep my daughter from me.
You can't deprive me of the love of the two people l love most.
Change your mind.
l won't take it.
''Paul.
''
Go! Paul Legris? Cpl.

Will l be able to talk? Of course.
But they won't hear you.
We'll turn off the microphone.
lt'll be like in my hiding place.
Your hiding place? Where we found you in your house? There's lots of police here to protect you.
l want to.
What will you do after? After? After l did it? Then it'll be over.
But then after will Mommy and Daddy come back? Where were you? Does all your hand-washing irritate your skin? Johnson's pretty irritated.
He's going to skin you alive.
What did l do? The video club girl told everyone you slept with her.
She's crazy.
Crazy or not, he wants to talk to you.
Just between us, something's on your mind, and on your record, too.
What? We looked you up in the G7.
Lucky you still have your gun.
They warned me about you, you bastard.
- Who did? - People.
People? ''Us'' and ''them'' are the same to you.
''Them'' being criminals? That's a low blow.
l'm a cop, like you.
Don't treat me like that.
You put your wife's lover in the hospital.
That's in the past.
The past has a way of coming back to haunt you.
Have a cup of coffee.
lt's not good to turn him against you.
What makes you say that? He once almost killed his wife's lover.
Savaria mentioned another case of domestic violence.
- The victims? - Duguay.
Mayrand, the moron slept with his wife.
Mayrand? - That explains the shooting - Duguay.
Fun and games.
- ls the girl ready? - She's ready.
- Everything is ready.
- Good.
You're the biggest idiot l've ever seen.
l didn't touch her.
DNA test might prove otherwise.
Leave it alone.
You think you're the President? - l swear it's not true.
- Get off it, not true.
How will we explain you screwed the killer's wife? l'd never do that.
Why would she say that? You've always had more balls than brains.
l swear, damn it.
And then you lie to me.
That really infuriates me.
She was cute and very willing.
She's not involved.
Ever think he was the one who shot at you? File a complaint against Duguay.
Put Jean-Marie on.
Can't you watch him? Do l need to go? Everything's fine.
The murdered woman wasn't raped.
The results just came in.
lt was just a murder l need the entire report, now.
Give me Mayrand.
- Yeah? - Take a cold shower, now! Yeah, right.
l'll be her lawyer.
Child Protection decides that.
- Kathleen said that? - Of course not What are you here for? Getting some details about a client.
Call me.
l'll help you.
lt's just an old case l wanted to close.
Everyone's here? Can we start? - She's ready when you are.
- Perfect.
Can l talk to you? As pleasant as usual.
Savaria - What about him? - He's here pretty often.
- He's allowed.
- But l'm the prosecutor.
lf you get in a jam, you're on your own.
He's here once in a while.
He probably gets a client or two, but we don't care.
But he's got no business in the room.
You're out of luck.
What was the question? Do you know how many blows Approximately, yes.
The little girl, three.
The boy, one.
The mother? Pure carnage.
l don't know.
Too many.
''Carnage'' has one ''n'' or two? - Two.
- No, one.
About how many blows? To put her in that state, at least 20 if not 30, maybe 40 blows.
Did she resist? l hate it when my pen leaks.
Her position, muscle state and biochemistry indicate a defensive position.
Watch carefully.
What are you doing? That's it.
Sure l was scared.
You were about to hit me.
Forearm fracture.
When a knife is used, there are lacerations.
Right.
Lacerations.
The father and son are there Here we are.
You're not afraid of me anymore? What's your favorite TV show? Teletubbies.
Me too! Anne told you what we're going to do? They'll come in and - She knows what to do.
- Okay.
Ready? Let's start.
Sit down.
- Thanks.
- Yes Some people are lucky.
''Take a cold shower.
'' ls he a cop or a priest? Told you not to screw with evidence.
Come on! lf l told you what she wanted me to do - You'd flip.
- Tell me.
l love smut.
l'm not like that.
lt's too juicy.
You have scruples? lf she comes on strong l freeze up.
l'm the man.
l never noticed.
You're funny, my friend.
Hi.
You You still wear pyjamas when you sleep with Rita.
What's wrong? Look at you.
lt bugs you if l mention Rita.
But if l shut up, you laugh at her.
- l'm not laughing at Rita.
- You're always laughing at her.
lt's pissing me off.
l wasn't laughing at Rita.
l was laughing at you in your pyjamas.
Screw you! Let's change the subject.
This is too touchy.
l wonder if they know who did it by now.
- $10 on the backwoods cop.
- $1 ,000 on the drunk.
- Okay.
- Will it take long? Half an hour should do it.
Ready, guys? One by one.
François says go.
What order? Him.
Him.
You, J.
C.
Sonny.
You and you.
François goes last.
You'll hear the instructions through the speaker.
- Ready? - Yes.
Here.
- François? - Yes? No.
1 .
lt's Mr.
Legris.
Yes.
Remember our game? So? Like, don't like or don't want to see him? Like.
Witness No.
2.
Lower your arm.
He's nice.
He always gives me chocolate.
Witness No.
3.
Really? Sure he's the man of your life? - Well, maybe.
- Maybe is like you're not sure.
Cut it out.
You're making me uncomfortable.
SAS? - lt's over? - Not yet.
l'm biting my nails to the bone.
lt's nerve-wracking.
Girl's calmer than l am.
- How many are out? - Two.
Who? You decide.
We'll stop if you don't feel like it.
You'll have to get me more solid evidence than this.
Give her time.
Get it? lf it annoys you, leave.
Pardon me? You want evidence? Let us work.
We should maintain the atmosphere.
Aggressiveness and impatience are Get it? Next.
Lower your arm.
We're still playing the game? Like, don't like, don't want to see him.
l'll deal with him.
We'll take you home.
Thanks for your cooperation.
You're going elsewhere.
- What? - Your wife pressed charges, and you tried to kill two of my men.
Not bad.
l don't believe it.
lt's not true.
Take him away.
l want a lawyer.
You'll be examined by the doctor, then we'll do a number on you.
- l'm not sick.
- Not that kind of doctor.
Her.
What'll it be? How do you want to proceed? You'll make a statement or shall l question you? Case PT43-25-2001 -AF Paul Legris, age 35.
You don't have to answer my questions.
But if you do, you can stop anytime and request a lawyer.
You knew nothing about it.
l knew about Sylvie.
You could have told us.
l knew Paul loved her.
But that's all.
When l realized what happened, l panicked.
You still could have told us.
As a cop, l should've told you.
But as a father, never.
To tell you, l would've had to believe it.
And if l did, l'd have shot myself in the head.
l didn't want to.
Didn't want to kill her.
Mr.
Legris How many times did you hit her? l don't know.
l don't remember.
l don't remember anything.
lt was like l was in another world.
l was You were hurting? Yes.
l was hurting.
Sylvie She was everything to me.
She had no right to do that to me.
She told me she didn't love him anymore.
She was going to leave him.
Didn't give you the right to kill them.
You had no right to kill them.
l didn't know what l was doing.
lt was like lf l couldn't have her, nobody would.
Nobody.
l was the one who loved her, not him.
How did you kill them? With what? Why did she do it? Why? More scared than hurt.
l'll be the judge of that.
Now you know why we have rules.
Keep your gun in your drawer.
What have l done? He probably would've killed all of you, then himself.
lt was a reflex.
A good one.
The guy had no criminal record.
- l checked.
- The forensic report is clear.
He was a baseball coach.
Baseball bat can kill.
But l still killed him.
Don't think about it.
l killed him.
lt was either you or him.
l didn't try talking or reasoning with him.
You did the right thing.
A guy who wipes out an entire family can't be reasoned with or controlled.
You did what you could.
But my job is to talk to people, not shoot them.
Yes, but Anne l know what you're feeling but it has nothing to do with what we know.
Nothing.
Everything has to do with it.
Stop it! We'll wait for Kathleen, then we'll go for dinner.
Hungry? What's going on? What do you want, Johannie? l want Anne.
Anne doesn't have kids.
She has me.
You won't be alone, l promise.
We'll find you a nice family.
That's what you need.
l want Anne and Fernand.
Go eat with Louis.
We'll talk about it after.
Give this to Anne.
What do you want to eat? Spaghetti and a cookie? Why do l do this job? l must be a masochist.
lt takes someone to solve what others just watch on the news.
- Where are they? - lnside, cleaning up the mess.
Fortier's in rough shape.
Can l buy you a beer? A lemonade? A double lemonade.
l have a job to do first.
l put four sugars.
- The investigation? - l'll sort it out with Griffin.
You have nothing to worry about.
l don't know how to convince you.
- lt was self-defense.
- Yeah The worst that can happen is you'll get a medal of honor.
That's better.
l don't like seeing my staff depressed.
Especially the strongest one.
Something's missing.
What's missing? He kills his mistress because she stays with her husband Let it go.
lt's over, okay? Have you seen many cases like this? Well, l l've seen it all.
That's why l watch Teletubbies .
The opposite, maybe They weren't close enough for it to come to this.
Why not? Well To kill her maybe.
But to kill her with such rage His heart would really have to have been broken.
How can you judge this guy's emotions? l'm not judging.
l just don't understand.
l have a present for you.
l'm jealous.
Oh, yes.
Hey, guys Not him again.
Say you love me.
Ever seen an injured pit bull? You leave him alone or he'll bite you.
Sit down.
l'll buy a round of lemonade.
Christ.
Not that we don't like you, but lt's not that we don't like you.
We do.
We're having a discussion.
l guess your lips are sealed.
''Sylvie, my love, ''lt can't be over.
l don't want to lose you.
''You can't do this to me.
''You can't keep my daughter from me.
'' You can't keep my daughter from me.
You can't deprive me of the love of the two people l love most.
Change your mind.
l won't take it.
''Paul.
