Episode 6

YOUNG WOMEN MlSSlNG: POLlCE HAVE NO LEADS - Anne - Yes? Sorry.
lt's okay.
lt's okay.
- Coming out for a bite? - No.
l want to finish up these reports, then go home to bed.
Johnson's really getting an earful.
Ready, Jean-Marie? What's up? Rita's got company? To hell with Rita.
l'm coming.
lf you change your mind, we'll be at the diner.
People work tomorrow.
Turn it down.
We're allowed until 1 1 :00 p.
m.
- l've one boss too many.
- So do l.
l don't like your sense of humor.
You don't like me, too bad.
My job is to clean up the chaos Griffin left behind.
You're part of the problem.
l'll put a tight rein on you.
No more Lone Rangers.
You want to replace me? Close the SAS? l'm the one boss too many? lf l have the choice, yes.
Results have a price.
They don't just appear.
l have to cut back.
One boss has to go.
l could've kept it quiet, but l like being up front.
We know where we stand.
Do l get a letter, or just a pat on the back? That'll be decided soon.
Catching the guru bought you time.
Find out why girls are going missing, or l might not find you worth keeping.
Son of a bitch! Go ahead, tell him.
l need to talk to you.
Not here.
You never want to, anywhere.
Come on, let's do it.
No let me go.
Let me go! God, you piss me off! l just don't feel like it right now.
Look at me! You've been teasing me long enough.
Rita's going a bit too far.
She's still not answering.
l guess she must be really busy.
The usual.
Fortier's analyses make my head spin.
Aren't you going to target practice? l'm barred since the fight with the CAP guys.
Lefebvre wasn't too friendly, was he? Not really.
Speaking of which if there's cutbacks, l'm lowest in seniority.
Don't worry about that.
- Johnson'll stand his ground.
- Against Lefebvre? Maybe it's the beginning of the end.
of the SAS, l mean.
You never know.
Yeah lt's possible.
My dad's coming.
Move it! Look, Yannick Forget it.
Luke, dump her.
She's just a tease.
Pascale Mind your own business! l'm going.
You're on your own.
l know.
You know about it.
Stop it.
What? What? You searched my grave.
That's my private business.
What right have you? You're right.
Your death is your business.
l told you about my past, about the cop.
You said it was your sister, not you.
A death certificate is all you needed.
There's none.
- Burial certificate? - Neither.
All l had to go on was a tombstone with your name on it.
Dissociation.
Sometimes, l'm not exactly myself.
l try to preserve my sanity.
By making a grave for yourself? The disappearances are top priority.
You're on it, guys.
Deschene's getting nowhere.
Lefebvre's putting the heat on.
Which disappearances? There are 4 cases.
Young girls.
Don't you read the papers? Not the old lady? Old lady? The 83-year-old who disappeared from her home.
CAP's still looking for her.
The other one, downtown What's his name? l said young girls, not Alzheimer cases.
But Mayrand's right.
lt looks like one case since the girls are young and pretty, but it could be a coincidence.
What do you think? Anyhow, Lefebvre wants an investigation plan.
Since when? Got a problem with that, call him.
l've never worked like that.
Working on paper is stupid.
lf you look at it positively, it could be fun.
Like playing Clue.
Playing Clue Can we get on the same wavelength? What? l don't know about Anne.
She hasn't said a word.
- As for me - She's pouting.
- Which wavelength? - Well About the rumor.
- What rumor? - Lefebvre wants to run the show.
That's how it is when the State police work with us.
Different philolophy.
What? What did l say? Not ''philolophy.
'' ''Philosophy.
'' - l know.
- Then talk properly, not like a 5-year-old.
- Skip of the tongue.
- What? Slip of the tongue.
You know what l mean.
Okay, that's enough.
Okay, enough! The best way to end the rumor is to show results.
So, it's not a rumor.
First let's find some answers about the missing girls.
Whether it's one case or several, we'll clear it up.
Where do we start? With VlCLAS.
ls Gabrielle home? She's cleaning up the mess you guys made.
- Gabrielle! - Yeah? Tell my sister my mom wants to see her.
She's waiting.
She's not here.
Tell her not to worry.
l didn't mention Luke.
She left 10 minutes after you.
There'll be no more parties at my house.
VlCLAS - VlOLENT CRlME LlNKAGE ANALYSlS S YSTEM What kind of crimes do you want? Sexual assaults.
Violent or non-violent? - Homicides? - All.
l'd add a body profile, whether or not the crime's been solved.
The result will be the same.
Not just teenagers, all women, in the last 20 years.
- 20 years? - Yes, 20 years.
One year's not enough.
l've seen sickos operate for years, in cycles.
As you wish.
Luke, please.
Luke? l'm Pascale Dubé's father.
l know you told my son you hadn't seen her.
Tell me the truth or l'll have the police after you.
You're sure? Call me if you see her.
Try Sebastian.
She's not there.
She can't stand him.
- Josée? - No - They had a fight.
- l've had it.
lt's about a missing person.
Jean-Marie Your expense receipts.
Guys, can you visit some ex-convicts? Sure.
On what grounds? A predator is after fresh prey.
- Modus operandi? - None.
A signature.
Same thing.
lf one person is doing this, he'll always do it the same way.
He can't help the way he works.
lt's part of him.
An M.
O.
is learned and can be modified when the heat's on.
What we're after is a signature.
A personality, a common denominator.
We didn't see anything special in the other unsolved crimes.
l'll check my file for anything else.
You really think it's a sexual predator? After what you told me yesterday About dissociation The trauma you won't discuss You think l'm crazy and you're stuck in a complex case.
You're afraid for your own skin.
l never said you were crazy.
That's your department.
l just don't understand you.
Quit stalking me.
You're acting like a sexual predator.
The guys are right.
You're obsessed with me.
ls it so odd that l'm interested in a psychologist who was committed for murder in Washington, and buys a cemetery plot and tombstone with her name on it.
lt's like you're asking to be followed.
You're creating a mystery, a story about yourself.
Some cop out there ruined your life.
Right? Yes or no? l need to know if it's true or if you're inventing a life.
Sorry.
You said we're handling the disappearances? Another one's missing.
Shall we go? Stand by, l'll call you.
Mrs.
Dubé Mr.
Dubé.
l'm Johnson.
Dr.
Fortier.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Doctor? - Psychologist.
- Any news about our daughter? - No, ma'am.
We're gathering information.
You're a detective.
Why a psychologist? l'm in charge of the SAS.
Missing persons? Without going into details, it is part of our mandate.
Can we discuss this inside? Of course.
Don't mention loonies right away.
Hi.
What do you want? You shouldn't drink so much.
Last time, you lost your head and it cost you.
You ended up losing more than your head.
Last night Where were you? Why? Just wondering.
l know the game.
Some bitch fingered me? Several bitches.
Several.
But they can't talk.
One of them, recently.
Last night? Pool hall.
The Eight-Ball Club on Main St.
- Until when? - Closing.
3:00 a.
m.
By yourself? lt was packed.
You know what l mean.
- The barman saw me.
- lf you were there he couldn't have missed you.
Don't leave town.
This is not the time.
At what time, exactly? Must've been 1 :00 a.
m.
You left at 1 :00 a.
m.
, or the party ended then? l left at 1 :00 a.
m.
What about your sister? She stayed to help Gabrielle.
Help her? Clean up.
lt was a mess.
Why didn't you wait for her? Answer.
We had a fight.
because of Luke.
- Who's Luke? - A little punk, who's after Pascale.
Have his address? He said he didn't see her, she left alone.
Just give us his address.
North end.
l don't know exactly.
Call him.
lt's in Pascale's day planner, in her room.
l'll get it.
Dufour Living near a pool isn't a good idea.
lt's like alcoholics and bars, gamblers and casinos.
- Why do you hang around the pool? - l'm hot.
Yeah? Why not go for a swim? l'm just looking.
- He's just looking.
- Obviously.
What were you looking at last night? lf you have an alibi, tell us now.
l was with my mother.
Call her.
She'll tell you.
- At his mother's - Was she having a bath? He's not home.
What do we do? See the others, or back to the SAS? How many on the list? Five teenagers.
We're on our way.
What's up? A body.
l'll be all right.
lt's the case, her age l don't know.
- We can go if you want.
- l'll be fine.
- Take your time.
- You're allowed.
She's not going anywhere.
Who'll notify the family? l'll finish up here, then search the family's records.
You two, keep checking the ex-cons.
Our way or by the book? As you want, but just keep it legal.
l'll see the family with Anne.
We're looking for a nut? There's three types of rapists: Sadistic, angry and opportunistic.
The forensic report will tell us which we're dealing with.
Where? Name? Age? No, Johnson's handling the investigation.
Jack? Denis.
Yeah.
Look in file DB02-43A.
That's it.
The missing girls.
Yeah, the third girl.
Right.
The masseuse.
Look in the report summaries.
Was she seen at the massage parlor the day she disappeared? You're sure? Never mind.
l'll take care of it.
First impression? There wasn't much evidence of violence.
That would mean an opportunist? l can't draw any conclusions yet.
l know it's not the best time, but you can withdraw from the investigation if you want.
There's no shortage of cases.
We'll handle it ourselves.
We'll manage.
l'll work it out with the guys.
You already know what my answer is.
To that, yes.
To that? The cop who did that to you Was he sadistic, angry or opportunistic? Does that answer your question? - What did you find on the body? - lt's all there.
''Neighborhood curfew 1 1 :00 p.
m.
Tell your parents.
'' l'm keeping this.
Come look at this! ls it a grave? He digs a grave, but doesn't bury his victim.
Get me all the footprints.
May l sit down? You said you were checking.
Find anything? You heard about the other missing girls? That's why l called you.
Something happened.
You found her? lt's not good news.
We found Pascale in a wooded area nearby.
Pascale So? l can analyze it, but l need more to go on.
- Something to compare with? - l'm not an astrologist.
- Can you tell me anything? - Sure.
The author was neither intoxicated, nor affected by a neurological disorder, nor blind.
Are we speculating it's the person who killed Pascale Dubé? lt clearly refers to the party, but l'd say the person's older than a teenager.
Anything else? Right-handed.
lt's not an old person.
You can tell the person's age from this? lt's not a teenager.
l can't say exactly, but the person's not elderly.
There aren't many ways to say it, but only one way to get through it.
Look l keep thinking about the scar Let's see her friends.
What? A hole? For that, or for something else? You're sure? The technical team? Look Check with Louise Garnier.
The killer dug a hole in the woods to bury Pascale.
So he intends to bury his victims? But he didn't bury her.
Parent's theory is that he was interrupted.
l have to go back, but first Just tell me, who's the cop? His name? A State cop? City cop? That's why you wanted to search back 20 years.
You think it could be him starting again.
Why didn't you press charges? We could stop him.
You think it's him.
l'm wrong.
l'm trying not to let my problem interfere.
l was a victim of sexual assault.
Yes, l was.
l was the same age as these girls.
lt upsets me.
lt makes me crazier than you can imagine.
Let's focus on this case and not talk about me, or else Or else? Or else l'll really need a tombstone.
l Come on, let's sit down.
Sit down.
Did you see anyone or anything unusual that night? l don't remember.
Think.
Anything.
Just a guy who told us to keep the noise down.
He talked to Yannick.
- A guy? - l don't know him.
You're sure? He complained about the noise? Old guy? Young guy? Around 50.
Must be a neighbor if he complained about the noise.
Probably.
A few seemed on the prowl, but nothing concrete.
Where are the others? Seeing the girl's friends again.
No news.
Good start.
They found a note on Pascale Dubé.
Louise Garnier says whoever wrote it is neither young nor old.
lt's not much, but at least we have a body.
That's good news.
lt'll tell us something.
Ghoul! You call that good news? For the ones still missing.
We have something to work with.
For the next ones.
The others must be dead.
l'm getting hungry Who wants to keep me company? Come on Tell Fortier we went to the diner.
Anyone asks about your parlor, get their name and call me.
- Like who? - A detective, anyone.
Everything's fine.
My girls only offer sex after the tenth massage.
Cops never get that far.
They can't catch me.
They'd better not.
lt's known that you worked for the vice squad.
My girls are safe.
They're treated and paid well.
The rest is social.
ln 10 years, it'll be legal.
What's happening? Your girls are well treated, but you never saw Linda again.
She could be anywhere.
You know Johnson? The SAS have a lead.
They found a body.
They're going over the files.
lf they come to see you, send them over to me.
l'm glad we're getting a grip on things.
You like getting a grip on yourself For this case, l think we should thoroughly investigate all the kids at the party.
What Anne did isn't enough.
l'm all for it.
Where is she? l drove her home.
She's sleeping.
Long day.
The alibis of the ex-cons are worth as much as we'd expect.
l'll go to the Dubé's house tomorrow.
- See the parents, neighbors - With Anne.
lt's for writing samples.
l can handle it.
Go with Anne.
l don't want her left alone.
Got it, everyone? Yeah.
You know, this reminds me of the wrapper case.
You too? Yeah.
Not based on just one victim.
Can you work with the forensic expert? Lucky you.
What wrapper? A guy who raped women.
He'd wrap them up in cellophane.
Long time ago? He's spending the rest of his days in the loony bin.
Dirty bastard! Rouleau So the shit hit the fan upstairs? Lefebvre can't touch us, if we stick together.
l'll need your files.
My files? l'm investigating the missing girls.
There's a girl who worked in a massage parlor That's not it.
Definitely not.
