''My colleagues in the SAS ''are crack detectives.
'' That's not all.

Johnson, ''a man l greatly respect.
''His charismatic leadership ''ensures that l can do my part safely.
'' Ever heard such nonsense? ''Cpl.
Parent has a brilliant mind ''and a keen sense of police strategy.
'' Sheer nonsense.
''Our team is rounded off ''by the experience, judgment and courage ''of Sgts.
Dufour and Mayrand.
''Along with the staff, ''the SAS is a great team.
'' l don't need that publicity.
Me either.
Are you okay? Where's the Hindu? Wasn't a Hindu helping her with her dizziness? Did you see a Hindu? A Hindu? No.
l'm still in contact with him.
You were all acting so dumb.
You have my support if you need it.
For Kama Sutra, SAS Yes l'll give him the message.
l'm not closing the cafeteria.
Come with me after school? l have to work.
Saturdays plus evenings is too much.
- l like working.
Your grades are important.
Answer me.
l have nothing to say.
See you at dinner.
Why don't you sit down? l feel better standing.
See a doctor.
l'm fine! You like it when everything spins around you? This squad is turning into a circus.
l'm starting to think Lefebvre is right.
You need an auxiliary ego in a turban to help you do your work He's not here.
What's your problem? You really need him to stop feeling dizzy? lt just doesn't stand up.
lt's an expression.
You're through with the Hindu? l don't know.
Depends how l feel.
lf people thought we were crazy before Quit complaining.
Your colleagues respect you.
This is harassment.
You could've talked to me before going public about the SAS.
l needed to reveal myself to escape from myself.
l can't stand you anymore! l know it's hard.
But Rouleau is in the past.
Give it time.
The memory will fade.
lt won't.
l'm becoming more obsessed with Rouleau by the day.
What? How should l put it Just say it.
You want me to be direct l used your name to visit sex sites.
Everyone knows.
What? You jerk off on sex sites and tell everybody? l didn't do that.
lt wasn't so crude.
l l got to know a girl named lsabelle.
Using my name? l don't know her.
l wanted to play it safe.
lt doesn't affect you.
You didn't lt's my name! lf you don't know her, she'll think it's me.
Yeah.
l didn't think Are you nuts? Don't get mad.
lt's no big deal.
lt's over.
lt's just that it came up when they checked you out.
lt came up? The State police found it on the network.
The main thing is that it's over.
You're alive.
l stopped.
Look at me when l talk to you.
Damn fag! So, you're becoming obsessed with Rouleau.
That's how l feel.
Sorry for insisting.
You don't have to explain.
We're beyond that.
l don't need to understand.
But Rouleau, a sadist, did attack you.
He raped you, you found him, he killed himself.
Maybe l'm oversimplifying, but it seems to be over.
l can't tell you everything.
We've turned the page.
We've cleared up your past.
But the present is another thing.
Anyway That's just the way you are.
l'll try to let you set the pace.
Because l admire you very much.
lt won't be easy to keep up with someone who feels dizzy.
You think you're funny? We slept together.
You see me as a father figure.
l'm as funny as you are.
The murders in the wood The girls who were raped l was never sure Rouleau was the killer.
We might've been wrong.
Hurts, doesn't it? You feel rejected? l'm the principal.
Answer me.
Don't want to talk about it.
You need to open up.
l know exactly how you feel.
Let it out.
You'll feel better.
l'm okay.
ls it Mathieu or the others? Go do your exam.
l'll talk to your mom.
Come here! Hold on, sir.
He's a friend.
Just a minute, sir.
What's going on? The complaint lt's him.
The peeping Tom? Jean-Paul, take the gentleman and his doggy over there.
- Anne - Yes? Special delivery.
Stay! This poses a legal problem.
Do we treat it as a criminal act or a victim claim? Can you punish a blind peeping Tom? No, because he can't see.
But the victim felt threatened, all the same.
File a civil complaint.
We'll give it to Fontaine.
We have 24 hours.
For what? To prevent a bloodbath.
''lf nothing changes by Friday at 1 :00 ''l'll take my big guns ''and kill them all.
''The sons of bitches at school deserve it.
'' A prank? l doubt it.
lt's a teenager's handwriting.
You're a handwriting expert, now? Or an adult with a neurological disorder.
Get Louise Garnier to analyze the letter.
Find out where it came from.
Negative.
Central post office.
Wrong address on the slip.
- Name? - Alain Lamothe.

You talked to him? l'm not ready.
So, when? l've lived alone with him for years.
He knows me.
He likes me.
He respects me.
l don't want While Alex is in school, l'd rather What? He needs a dad.
We get along.
Can't you see it? l don't want to get angry, but You don't really love Alex.
lt's me you want.
l don't want to live together at Alex's expense.
l'd rather keep things as they are.
Especially since l work here.
We'll talk more later.
Don't you ever knock? Sylvie, wait! l have to make Alex dinner.
What did he want? He's always after you.
Look, Marcel You're nice, but But you're not attracted to me? No, it's just that lt's him? You can tell me.
lt's me.
You keep pushing me away.
You're the principal.

- So what? - l'm not comfortable.
That's just an excuse.
That's okay.
l'm patient.
You're not with Serge? No, l'm not.
lt's l believe you.
That's it? Only 22 hours.
Okay.
Thanks.
Alain Lamothe, 13.
ln the hospital with appendicitis.
lt's a fake name.
Read it.
''l'm fed up with everyone.
''l'll get rid of the people who don't like me.
''l'll kill the bastards.
''Their families will know how l feel.
'' First impression? Deep depression.
lf we can't help him, why did he send it? l was bullied too, in high school.
Cripes! Everyone made fun of me.
He sent it specifically to Anne.
Does he know her? A lot of people know her now.
How did he get the address? lt's everywhere.
How would a kid get it? By calling.
Check the incoming calls.
- Where's the peeping Tom? - There.
We've got to do better.
Time's flying.
l can't believe this.
Nothing better to do? A blind peeping Tom! Very funny.
l'm laughing.
We got a complaint.
Talk to Jean-Paul about it.
We've no time for you.
Give me that! No defense, fag? What are you doing down there? Come on.
l'm waiting for you.
Let go of me! Take your damn bag! There's 40 high schools in the area.
The letter's in French.
Down to 30.
The red tacks.
Sure the school's downtown? lt's written in French.
lt was posted downtown.
What if the kid was trying to mislead us? l doubt it.
lt's strong, impulsive.
An act of desperation.
Someone's crying out to me for help.
They saw my name in the article.
Psychologist, cop He needs us to stop him.
would take us a week to check out.
How many cops do we have? l have cops, but they're not trained to identify desperate teenagers.
lt'd take a week to visit all the schools.
lt'd take a year to talk to every student.
Two years.
We've got 24 hours, Gabriel.
Twenty-one.
Phone booth.
l checked with Rolande.
She had three requests for our address.
A public servant, a reporter and one other.
Boy or girl? She can't remember.
Aren't you curious where the phone booth is? Of course! There.
That narrows it down to four schools.
Diagnosis? Depressive, about to explode.
lf we can go by that lf this letter isn't a prank.
lf it's just a nut, Lefebvre'll kill us if we move on a prank.
Who thinks it's a prank? Hands up Good enough for you? Do l call the schools? l'll check with the other squads.
A list of depressed teenagers? Other complaints or threats? We don't get the message.
We haven't understood it yet.
Several possibilities We haven't time for several possibilities.
Ask me questions.
l'm not a palm-reader.
A teenager? l'm fairly certain.
Any idea on his mental state? The handwriting's a bit shaky.
There's definitely some tension.
And spelling mistakes.
Not that many.
There's a few.
Really? - How many schools? - Four.
- What kind? - High schools.
- Private or public? - One is private.
According to the author's presumed age Over 13 isn't so young.
Looks like an under-achiever.
Doubt it's a private school.
lt's shaky.
l'm guessing.
lt's a clichi.
Anything else? Paper analysis.
- How long? - One day.
- Too long.
- l can put a rush on it.
Do it.
- Work with her, kid.
- l'll make copies.
Three schools We have time.
You were supposed to start at 4:00.
You been fighting? None of my business, but when l have to do your work, it becomes my business.
Cleaning's not my job.
We worked it out.
Finish unpacking and clean the counters.
lf a customer comes, l'm in the office.
You sound out of breath.
l just got in from the grocery store.
Am l disturbing you? No.
What? l wondered if you were angry about what happened earlier? You can tell me.
l'm not.
Can l call you back? Are you alone? Sorry.
lt's not right.
l don't want you to feel bad.
l've no right to ask.
You're free.
Serge isn't with me.
l'm not being fair.
l lied to you.
l don't like what you did.
l just don't want to lose you.
l mean Life's too short.
We're meant to be together.
Right Serge is a bad influence on Alex.
l'd take care of him, if l had more time.
He needs a dad Someone to spend time with him, and really love him.
Sylvie? The man l love is Serge.
You'd be a better dad, but l don't love you.
You'll have the paper in 20 minutes.
lt's a rush.
Drop everything.
Johnson.
Can you work like that? You do the computer stuff? They'll be calling me for information.
l like working with you.
We make a good team.
Think so? You're the nicest cop l know.
Really? SAS No one's available today.
They're too busy.
l can take a message.
Problem? Yeah, maybe.
Tell us what you've got.
Time's running out.
lt's nothing.
lt brings back memories.
Don't know what stopped me from doing something drastic.
Let's split up the three schools.
Students are out.
See the principal.
l'll do Anne-Marie College.
l grew up around there.
l'll go with him.
l'll do Delorme.
You do the other.
We tell the principal, and explain our plan.
Check discipline records, special educators, shrinks, troublemakers.
That's not enough.
l'm with Jean-Marie, but l'll see all three.
l want to feel the atmosphere when the schools are full, too.
That's tomorrow at 9:00.
You won't have time.
Let's go! You went to school here? My school was next door.
lt was torn down.
l feel sad about it.
l have an idea.
We could evacuate the schools.
Close them all, why not? Would that stop him from going nuts somewhere else? Plus, it's the last day of finals.
lt's not as simple as that.
We'll see.
We still have who feels misunderstood.
What are you doing? Are you crazy? Don't ever do that again! Take your things and go home! Can you come? l need you.
ls your information reliable? This is serious.
We wouldn't be here otherwise.
Come in.
Dr.
Fortier Sgt.
Dufour, SAS.
Serge Lebel, remedial teacher.
Your name sounds familiar.
l don't know you.
Minor league hockey? - You're from the area? - Yeah.
The cute lady at the rec center What's her name? - Sylvie Lemay.
- ls she still there? She works here.
She couldn't do both.
Right.
Something wrong? A problem with this lady? You're reacting strangely.
Not at all.
We're close.
Serge has the files of all the students who get help.
At least 100 cases.
You're sure it's someone from here? We think it's a student from a downtown school.
We'll keep looking.
Do we close the school until we find him? Exams.
Screw the exams! lt's a death threat.
Only as a last resort.
We still have to find him.
Wherever it's to happen, the message is clear.
The letter-writer will kill at 1 :00.
l'll send the files.
Well? About 100 cases.
We're up to 500.
With 1 7 hours to go.
Two minutes per case isn't enough.
Nothing to say? Don't want to give you false leads.
We've no time to lose.
There are no damn leads.
Besides 500 files Something's up with Lebel and Fournier.
Who? The principal and the teacher.
Like what? They don't like each other.
She noticed.
The way you look at me, it's obvious.
The kids' safety comes first, but then, we'll sort out our problem.
l have no problem.
lt's in your head.
You don't like Alex.
You think he's weak.
Quit blabbering and help me.
Sylvie doesn't realize it.
l'm sure you're very subtle.
That boy needs a dad who really loves him and knows how he feels.
You just want to screw Sylvie.
And you? Everyone rejects Alex.
He's a victim.
He needs love, not authority.
l'll talk to Alex.
You're home early.
lt'll be ready soon.
l'm charging the blind guy.
Not so silly after all? He has a prior for fondling.
There's a case.
l'm feeling my way.
l'll plead with eyes shut.
See Jean-Paul.
l've no time.
A crazed killer? Just threats, so far.
Something about a high school? We'll call you if we need you.
Keep Savaria in mind.
He's short of clients, as you keep killing them.
Conclusions? lt's regular paper found in every school.
- There's fingerprints.
- We can look for a match.
- How many so far? - 12.
lt'll take you two days! lt's too vague.
He picked tomorrow for a reason.
Last day of school.
Could be revenge.
True.
There's always a reason.
Tell him.
l'm not sure.
l think it's important.
l'm not positive, but it seems to have been either copied or traced.
lt wasn't copied indirectly.
No pencil lines.
Traced Like copying.
The author copied someone else's writing? To warn us.
Tell me who did this to you.
Hi.
l'm talking to Alex.
See you tomorrow.
l'm here to see him.
Can l come in? We're closing.
ls Alex here? He left early.
He wasn't feeling well.
He went home? l guess so.
Did you get it? Tell me about Mathieu.
- What? - Does he still wait for you? You never told me.
Trust me, not Lebel.
Why? He doesn't do his job.
Were you threatened? He doesn't know Alex.
He doesn't love him.
Answer me.
You don't understand.
l'm talking to you! l'm protecting you from the violence.
Open the door.
So, one person wrote it, another sent it.
l didn't say that.
The characters were traced.
Two people are involved.
Someone copied it and sent it? Why not send the original? We need to understand the motive.
And there might be two motives.
Two people, two motives.
One who's hurting.
The other wants us to know.
One might be on the edge.
The other wants to warn us.
Why not just tell us? Why go to such lengths? lt's easy, you just call.
- Good question.
- lt depends lf he was depressed Which one is depressed? lt could be related to a school gang.
The principal and the teacher at the school don't get along? That could be anything.
Office politics lt's more serious.
Where'd you see that, sweetie? ln his eyes.
