Fortier (2001) s04e08 Episode Script

The transsexual was found because of a guy taking wood from the vacant lot.
He didn't want to leave traces.
Dumping wood on a body is easier than burying it and hiding the traces.
- How'd the wood get there? - By truck.
lt wasn't brought one log at a time.
That doesn't go there.
Any developments overnight? Not with our current cases.
We should look in ''lumberjacks'', not ''prostitution''.
Hello.
What ''Kill once, ''kill again.
'' l've never seen a pervert like you.
Really? You pay me to do nothing.
We're not doing nothing.
We're talking.
Yeah, sure.
ls it so unpleasant? We've been making small talk for four hours.
You're not giving me what l want.
l can't answer your questions.
Why not? l don't have an employer.
l'll tell you again: Male prostitution turns me on.
l want you to tell me how it works, about the women you meet l can't give you names.
Fine.
How can l meet other guys? Rita gave me the royal treatment last night.
My back is still sore.
Close the door.
Ever heard of the Kama Sutra? Sit down.
With Fortier hanging out with Hindus, you must've.
We're reopening Rouleau's file.
Officially.
What's not solved about it? What evidence did we have? Nothing.
Just a statement by Tetreault, the massage parlor guy.
Find Tetreault for me.
Okay.
Don't mention it to Fortier yet.
Police only.
Yeah.
You're a strange girl.
You look confused.
l didn't pay you to say that.
You're afraid of making love.
ls that it? You can pretend, but you can't for real.
Who can l talk to? Call me.
l'll give you names.
Afraid of something? l don't get it.
ls what you do dangerous? ln what way? l don't know.
You're afraid to say who sends you clients.
Who says anyone does? You didn't deny it.
You didn't say what you do for a living.
l take care of my husband.
Don't want to answer? Never mind then.
l never asked.
You can't call him.
He'll call you.
Great.
Did he say why? He just said not to mention it to Fortier.
Not to upset her.
Probably.
Where do we start? - All point bulletin? - Bad idea.
He'll spot our guys.
He'll split if he's hiding anything.
Let's keep a low profile.
Thanks for coming.
You're staying at the hotel? None of your business.
What do you want? Trust.
Are you attracted to Johnson? Stop toying with me.
lt's no fun.
l'm picking you up at the hotel.
l'm not dumb.
He won't be seen at your place? l'd have called a taxi.
You enjoy making me suffer.
Had you called a taxi, l wouldn't have known.
What l don't know doesn't hurt me.
Look These addresses are two years old.
We won't find him there.
He must live somewhere.
He rents under a false name.
Did François Sauvé work for an agency? Maybe.
Why? lt's a one-way street with you.
He ran his lnternet site from his massage parlor.
- The one - Where we picked him up.
He's long gone from there.
lt closed down.
Try the agencies? lt's a dirty business, but l didn't think he'd die.
Always female clients? At first, homosexuals, though he wasn't.
A year or two ago l can't say when, exactly, he started meeting women.
You never knew who provided his clients? He talked a lot, but not about that.
Take me to the SAS? - Can l help you? - lt's okay.
lt's jammed.
Let's try in jail.
ln jail? Easier than the agencies.
Good idea.
We'll ask Durivage.
He has informers inside.
- Yes? - > lt's not safe.
Something's up.
What? > Don't know what he's after.
Get out of there.
- - Just take off.
l'll call you.
Do l cancel tonight's clients? They're okay.
Just don't take any more.
Why panic if it's not the Vice? Ditch your cell phone.
> > Where's the wood for my cottage? What wood? The guy told me you took it.
Where is it? Anne Kill again? Who do you mean? Lots of people.
Where were you? With him? Not with him.
The message was a clue, in case anything happened.
Am l psychic? lt could be me.
l've killed before.
Why wouldn't l do it again? At least we know when you're upset.
l'm not upset.
So why are you dizzy? l'm not dizzy.
And l'm not itchy.
Maybe you like charades, but l don't.
ls it a contest? Your answer's in the mail? Do l have to get angry? l cheated on you.
Kill again who? You heard me.
l spent the night with another man.
Fortier and Johnson They're together? Who told you that? Fontaine.
No way Look You're the only one l can trust.
l'll tell you the truth.
We're on a big case.
The hanky-panky between Fortier and the boss Seriously l couldn't care less.
l don't understand your reaction.
l don't know why it would make you angry.
l had to pay.
That's not all.
l want a weapon.
So you're Pudgy? There's been a series of murders.
l'd know if there was a serial killer around.
We didn't say it was a serial killer.
We're looking for a guy.
We can't add to what Vice gave you.
You can do us a favor.
What's his name? Tetreault.
Here.
This woman wants guys, just to talk.
Where from? Met her at the hotel.
We talked all night.
She wants you to get her guys.
She's nuts.
Nice, but a bit cracked.
No more games.
Let's be honest.
You paid the gigolo.
You didn't hire a guy just for fun.
You had another reason.
lnvestigating in the field.
Now, you want a gun.
Where were you? Let me guess.
The Alpha Hotel? You're looking for trouble.
Counterphobia.
Counterwhat? You never understand anything.
Counterphobia.
l seek out what scares me.
Should l give it to you? That's up to you.
l want it.
Seen the paper? You don't have to wonder where François is.
Doesn't surprise me, with his big mouth.
lt was just a matter of time.
''Big mouth''? Did he blab about you? He gave my number out.
Screwing a councilor's wife isn't a good idea, either.
Carmen? - What about Carmen? - Any news? Must've gone back to Brazil.
Beats me.
l can't reach Gertrude.
That's possible.
You closed up shop? Place was too small.
l didn't get any more calls.
Should l find my own clients? Go ahead.
l'll call you when it's time.
Sure everything's okay? What do l do with that other woman? - Curly hair, glasses? - Know her? Good client.
l'll look after her.
Rouleau raped me.
He didn't kill the girls.
l don't want to discuss it.
With the guys you do.
You bring Rouleau up with every case.
lt's a pain.
l'm not mixed up.
You are.
After Rouleau's death, Mayrand and Dufour questioned a guy.
Tetreault.
A pimp with a massage parlor.
You never mentioned him.
To avoid hurting you.
- l doubt - Can l see his statement? You can.
Nothing special.
He confirmed that Rouleau was sleeping with Linda Bedard.
Prostitution, massage parlor, lnternet site, murders The girls weren't all prostitutes.
Linda Bedard was.
They all had a link with the police.
With Rouleau.
lt wasn't him.
The killer isn't just a sadistic rapist.
What if it's someone even more unstable? More dangerous.
A real psychopath.
Carmen was a transsexual.
To a psychopath, a woman with a penis Carmen may have touched a nerve, making him even more unstable.
How? By making his fantasy come true.
By making it real.
The female penis became real, not just imagined.
Would you come down to earth? You're making me dizzy.
- ls he putting me on? - No.
Tell them.
Are you trying to screw me around? Tetreault's ex-Vice.
So what? l did time thanks to him.
He worked for Rouleau.
Good reason to talk.
lf he's one of your friends The deal stands.
lf you put me in gen pop, l'm dead.
Fine.
You have my word.
Word of a pig.
Listen No one likes a snitch.
Tetreault's a snitch.
For Rouleau? l'm a snitch too.
Then help us out.
Send my sister $5,000? $2,500.
$4,000 or l won't talk.
All right, we'll chip in.
You've got your $4,000.
Now, talk.
You won't find that guy.
We go by company names.
Like we don't exist.
So? lf you want to nab him, find Gertrude.
Who's Gertrude? His manager.
She fronts for him.
She does everything.
She's like his wife.
Tell me honestly.
ls it true? The night with the guy You're right.
l admit it.
We talked.
That's all.
Did you get any information? l'm talking to you.
What's the revolver for? We agree Rouleau wasn't the killer? Find the real murderer, before l do.
lf not, l'll kill him.
Kid Stick to her like a shadow.
This is the place.
Gertrude's the short, fat one who gave me a massage? Sounds like it.
You go.
l'll wait in the car.
Yeah? Gertrude Tremblay? This the right place? Doesn't live here anymore.
Thanks.
Know her new address? - So? - Gone.
Moved.
Nice beard she had.
Gives a great massage.
STATEMENT Pierre-Paul Tetreault Go away.
l'm here to help you.
l'll call you if l need you.
This is my desk.
l'm responsible.
lf you accidentally erase my hard drive lt's possible.
lt happens.
Why are you looking at Tetreault's statement? Anything on Carmen Lesage? Medical stuff.
Name registration.
She went by that name? Health insurance? What about the operation? How did she pay for her prescriptions? Some doctors take cash.
Forget does.
Who paid? Did she? l guess so.
- Bank account? - No.
Will you tell me what you're after? He said he wouldn't trust Rouleau with his daughter.
But he knew the victims too.
The lnternet sites He was based at Tetreault's massage parlor? Yes, ma'am.
Of course, l lsabelle lsabelle? The girl l was chatting with.
Gone, suddenly.
She sent me a blank message.
l don't know.
l freaked.
Think she could be a victim, too? ls she there or not? She's never there.
ls she dead? l missed that? Seen Fortier? She's out.
Damn it.
You should tell her.
How much do you charge for extras? Johnson'll have my head.
- > - Give me Johnson.
l lost her.
Are you there? What do you think? What do l do now? Go to the Alpha Hotel.
Find out about the victims.
> Don't come back emptyhanded.
Got it? Fortier or Tetreault? Both.
Hi.
lt's Daniele.
Yeah.
You gave him my number? Yes, but What? Can l be honest with you? Do you have a problem? l'm thinking it's a bad idea.
To Don't go.
Hang up.
Why? He's pissed off.
l have a bad feeling.
lt's too late.
What do you mean? A strange guy called.
He wants to meet me.
He didn't say much but he gave me his name.
Could that be him? What's his name? Tetreault.
Hello? Don't go.
- Haven't seen him for a year? - No.
- Not once? - Never.
Sure You never saw Linda Bedard again either? Who? Or Christina? Her, yes.
Where is she? l only know who she is.
Linda worked for you.
Her The suicidal cop killed her, no? You're not really helping us.
Don't know what you want.
From you? Nothing much.
But you're not talking.
l'm talking.
Answer for your boss.
- lt's your life, but - He's not my boss.
Not anymore? He was never my boss.
Got a job? What do you do? You're not with Vice.
l'm no fool.
Why am l here? Why Vice? Finish up.
We're making progress.
Curly blonde hair, glasses Look around.
She's not here.
- But have you seen her? - No.
- Carmen Lesage ring a bell? - No.
Does my face look familiar? l'm here about some murders, not for your brothel.
Help me out, or we'll shut you down.
l haven't seen the blonde, or Carmen Lesage.
But l know Carmen.
An ex-client.
She won't be back.
She's dead.
l'm not running a brothel.
l don't know why they're here.
We rent rooms.
What goes on upstairs is like any downtown hotel.
What about Tetreault? A pimp.
Ring a bell? Why? Let's start again.
From the beginning.
lt's not all clear.
Look at this.
Know much about lnternet sites? What? Sex sites.
Know a girl called lsabelle who sells on-line sex? Me and computers Never heard of it? Know nothing about it? Then why sign with an lnternet provider? lt's not my signature.
Someone forged it.
Yeah, right Can handwriting analysis be used in court? Sure.
Definitely.
They say it's irrefutable.
Want a lawyer, my dear? We'll never find the missing body part.
We need to find it.
Think the guy kept a piece of the body? Fortier says Rouleau wasn't guilty, but this guy is.
Until we find Tetreault Tetreault's a regular at the Alpha.
- You saw him? <- Manager told me.
> Tetreault hasn't been by for days.
But he was pulled over less than 48 hours ago.
For? A rolling stop.
No ticket.
Just a warning.
Fortier? No news.
Someone for tonight? Depends.
Who are you? lt's not important.
l don't turn tricks.
Where are you? Got someone for me? Depends where you are.
Not far.
l'm downtown.
As long as there's no one around.
Why? l don't want the world to know.
Where are you? Close to the Alpha Hotel.
We could meet in a room.
> Why not? l'll give you another place.
You'll find what you're missing.
Got a pen? in Lethbridge.
Thanks.
> l know you're there.
l'm here because of you.
Want to wait a bit longer? That's okay.
You want proof that l'm alone? l understand.
l knew it wasn't Rouleau who killed the girls.
But l didn't know it was you.
Now l know.
l know you killed François Sauvé to shut him up, and Carmen, because she wanted to become a woman.
Are there more? l came by myself.
lt's the only way to attract a predator like you.
A predator who's neither dumb, nor psychotic.
Because you haven't lost touch with reality.
You know exactly what you're doing.
Do you need fresh blood? Come and get me.
You could kill me, just like you killed the others.
You're not really straight, are you? l bet you felt good with your transsexual until she decided to become a woman.
A real woman.
Were you jealous of the doctor? Come on.
Let's look into your heart.
See what's inside.
How painful it is.
How you need to kill because you're afraid of emptiness.
How empty you find a women's sex to be, and how you can't stand it.
Come on.
l'll find you.
Just wait.
There's got to be something.
