We have to help her.
lt's been six years since we've heard from him.
Seven.
Seven years.
The brother-in-law's room.
What a loser.
- Who? - This guy.
Living with his sister, at his age.
Not everyone can afford an apartment.
Still What are you thinking? l just think he's a loser.
They're definitely not into housecleaning.
Should we call the techies? Think we'll find a body here? Maybe not a body Call the techies.
The techies say it's sperm.
Sure they're women's panties? Any guy who wears that is really screwed up.
Tell him it's a g-string.
lt's a g-string.
lt's a g-string.
Keep it for analysis.
When you're through, go help the Kid out.
Will do.
We've almost got the brother figured out.
Another pervert.
No comment? What's it prove? A g-string with sperm, and he doesn't have a girlfriend? So he said.
Besides his niece, as a dance partner.
Exactly.
A fetishist? Maybe women's underwear turns him on? Ever heard of transvestites? We know what to do.
Find the owner of the panties.
Everyone seems out of place there.
l don't get it.
There's no hierarchy in the family.
They're like siblings.
No father, no mother They look like a family, but they act like they're at summer camp.
The boy is the missing piece of the puzzle.
l'll take the brother.
We have our own interrogation techniques.
What's the difference? Let him go ahead.
You take the mother.
You'll get her to talk.
Why did she say that? Because she trusts me.
lnterview with Paul Tanguay, father of Felix Tanguay.
Do you want us to find your son? Yes.
So why doesn't anyone want to help us? How? Answering questions isn't complicated.
l asked you who Valerie's father was.
Your wife told me.
You got what you wanted.
Not easily.
Let's talk about my son.
Her ex had a garage, right? Don't know him that well.
She said he went to Morocco? Because of his criminal record? He used to beat her? That's what she told me.
Have you ever seen him? No, l haven't.
l understand.
Louise didn't tell you much.
She didn't want to talk about the past? Right.
We could put out an APB for him.
Denis Demers isn't a common name.
Did she say Denis or Daniel? Denis.
She never said Denis or Daniel.
She said Frangois Leblanc.
That's it.
Frangois Leblanc.
You're lying.
Why? You're right.
This place is for guilty people.
Valerie came by here.
The girls told me.
How'd you know? l'm smarter than you.
l simply scouted the area.
Only the girls see what goes on.
They don't miss a thing.
Scary.
Where was she headed? Beats me.
You don't know it all? - Does she turn tricks? - Apparently not, but the girls know her.
Her clothes are being analyzed.
For the dogs? Dogs? No, we're not setting bloodhounds after her.
So why her clothes? G-string with sperm under Uncle's bed Get the picture? The girls gave me a few places to check.
lt's not much ground to cover.
We'll find her.
Let's go.
- My car - You'll pick it up later.
- My laptop - Let's go.
l need it.
Wait.
So, tell me Do you feel all right with your role? What role? The role of father.
Yeah.
Doesn't seem like it.
Let's find Felix instead of asking questions.
We're trying to do that.
Here? lnvestigators are looking for him.
We released his photo.
lsn't finding Valerie important? - l didn't say that.
- No, you didn't.
You're lying, you're tense, and you don't seem to care.
That's not true.
Prove it.
- How? - Tell me where she is.
l don't know.
l have no other family.
Your parents? They died in a car accident.
Brothers or sisters? Just one uncle, up north.
Could the boy be with people you know? l can't see who.
With friends? l'd be surprised.
Valerie? lsn't that her name? That's different.
Different how? She's like that.
She goes out.
We never know for how long.
At 14? That's how it is.
lt can take time, but we always get what we're after.
Sometimes, we're too late, but we usually catch the perpetrator.
lt's not always easy.
You say we're not helping you.
You don't talk much.
You treat us like we've done something wrong.
l'll ask you a straight question.
Very straight.
Please give me a straight answer.
ln your opinion, has Valerie ever had sexual intercourse? A straight answer.
Don't think so.
''Don't think so.
'' Does that mean no? lt means l don't think so.
You're next, after your brother-in-law.
She hasn't stopped crying.
- Why? - No reason.
- l asked her simple questions.
- lt's all for show.
Why do you say that? Her husband and her brother are both lying.
She's pretending.
The girl took off, the boy vanished.
lt's a real drama.
A premeditated drama.
You mean We just don't know what the motive is yet.
A motive for? A body.
We've spotted her.
Distance? Close.
Bring her in? Follow her.
We're on it.
Split up.
See where she goes.
How long do we follow her? For how long? Half hour, then bring her in.
Half an hour.
My wife says it better be important for Dufour to wake me up.
lt is.
Why? For your wife.
She needs a break.
l'm impervious to your sarcasm.
A missing person and a family of suspects.
A family of suspects? You got it.
A child? Six years old.
Reported by? The family.
They reported it and they're the suspects? The lron Attorney needs nerves of steel.
My search warrant? - For when? - Yesterday.
l'm convinced we won't find Felix alive.
Why are you telling me that? Furthermore l hold you directly responsible for his disappearance.
You haven't the right to do that.
Seriously, a motive is all l need to arrest you.
What did l do to you? To me, nothing.
To Felix l'm not sure.
l want a lawyer.
Why? - What you said.
- l didn't accuse you.
l won't even use this conversation.
This is for my own information.
- l don't get it.
- lt's simple.
l hold you responsible for his disappearance.
You know why he's missing.
So does your wife.
So does her brother.
lf l did, l'd tell you.
l doubt it.
l don't care.
lt's the truth.
So tell me.
Tell you what? Why you all seem like liars.
You share secrets.
l need to know what they are.
Wait.
She's coming out.
l'll back up so she won't see me.
- Where's she going? - Nowhere.
What do you mean? She's just walking.
People do that.
People just walk? Come on.
lt's called wandering.
Wandering.
That's your theory? She's killing time.
She'll crash somewhere when she's tired.
We're tired.
We all are.
Finding Felix is what matters, right? When will this be over? When we've found your son.
The harder we try in the first few hours Who's he? Mr.
Fontaine, D.
A.
We're spokes of the same wheel.
l'll remember that one.
When can we go? Go, but it'll make things harder for us.
No one's at home.
What if Felix comes home? We have it covered.
Around the clock surveillance.
Don't worry.
The shrink says we're lying.
Tell me what you're thinking about.
Why? Don't feel like it.
Because l mentioned secrets? l need clues to find your son.
Understand? No one in your family wants to give me any.
We told you what we know.
lf you'd give me straight answers This isn't family court.
We're looking for your son.
Whatever happened at home, we need to know.
We need a lead.
lnterview with Paul Tanguay, continued.
No need to starve yourself.
lt's going to be a long day.
Anyhow, that explains why she packed her bag.
She killed her brother.
All we need is a motive.
- When was it reported? - About nine hours ago.
Nine hours ago.
Let's see what the examiner says.
lf Felix was killed at home or His sister knew where the body was.
lf she didn't kill him, she knows who did.
Exactly.
You'll question her.
- No one leaves.
- Of course not.
lt's not your fault.
l'll finish the job myself.
This it? His sister was burying him.
ls she the No idea.
A family affair.
Nice family.
lt's complicated.
Anything else? The Kid didn't fill you in? l haven't spoken to him since yesterday.
l did talk to him, but l didn't believe him.
l know the D.
A.
Trust me.
Why won't they let us go? New evidence.
They found him? They didn't say.
l was called to represent you.
lf you give me the job, l'll take it.
Yes.
They found Felix? Maybe.
Or Valerie? ls that her? Get her to a hospital.
A blunt object or a strangling? Both.
Both? - Both.
- They didn't kill him twice.
Without the time, l can't tell.
The injuries indicate two assaults: strangling and assault with a blunt object.
You're in a bad mood.
Me? Never.
Chill out.
l'm not your boyfriend.
l'm not your sister.
Cripes Cut the camera.
Get me the report.
Move it.
So? l didn't tell them yet.
The mother's too weak.
l'm afraid to tell her her son's dead.
lt's better to be direct.
Perhaps.
We found a g-string under Jacques' bed.
With sperm stains.
lt's not the girl's.
Wrong size.
lt is his sperm, though.
You saw we found Valerie.
Did you see the state she was in? l'm afraid we might lose her for a while.
That look in her eyes is psychotic decompensation.
She's taking refuge in her own world.
That doesn't happen without a reason.
lt's not a coincidence.
Will you tell me what's going on with you? lf you love your step-daughter, tell me about your family.
Where was she? We found Felix's body.
She was with him.
- ls it always like this? - Often.
l have to go to the office.
l have matters to attend to.
Call me if there's a problem.
He's had enough.
Get Bilodeau to shut her up or l'll do it myself.
l got the report.
Keep it down, will you? Or take her to the cell.
The investigation's not over.
What? Are you crazy? ln the eye? What for? What do you mean? Want to meet me there? No problem.
We're done here.
The victim's dad stuck a pen in his eye.
- Strange accident.
- He did it on purpose.
He already had one glass eye.
Now he's blind.
Can you handle this? l'm going to their house.
- You'll have the report today.
- Thanks.
Please leave.
- Could we - Please.
Where do we start? lt's neither a kidnapping nor a runaway.
lt's a murder.
- What's left to find? - Check his room.
We'll find the reason he poked his eye out.
l'll bet you anything.
Three nights with Rita.
l'd settle for a couple beers.
- l know what you - Speak professionally.
Save our marital problems for later.
You're joking? Where are you at? l have the DNA data.
The girl's DNA is everywhere, of course.
Of course.
The father? What about him? How is he? Don't worry, he won't die.
The results are on the way.
You can crosscheck them.
l want you.
Here? l'm sure he's a pervert.
Did he confess to incest? He's a manipulator with one goal: taking his stress out on someone weaker.
A rapist? No, he seduces.
We have a victim, Felix.
His father mutilates himself, Paul Tanguay is psychotic.
He breaks down under pressure but that's not a motive.
No criminal record.
The brother-in-law's had a few tickets, shoplifting charge for the mother.
Tanguay's listed as Felix's father.
Valerie has no father.
Felix must've gone out by himself.
The murderer attacked him in the yard.
His game was thrown in the trash.
Then, the killer strangled him where we found him.
The brother-in-law? He's a pervert, right? So we have a motive.
Put him on.
What? The kids' DNA matches.
Same father and mother.
Why do you think psychos are psychotic? Because reality's too painful.
Emotions can be unbearable.
You mean the father? Why was Thebes plagued? Oedipus realized he was sleeping with his mother, so he blinded himself.
Jacques and Louise hid the truth about Valerie.
Paul lied to me.
He knew they'd made up a story.
Maybe they made up a story about the boy, too.
Maybe Paul Tanguay isn't really Felix's dad? Listen to me.
We got the test results.
Your children have the same father.
Paul and Jacques don't really get along, do they? But Paul's a nice guy.
He does what you say.
But you don't love him Not really.
Last night, Paul broke down.
He wanted it to be over.
He couldn't handle your farce anymore.
He's weak.
lt was driving him crazy.
He left with Valerie and Felix.
He must have been suffering terribly.
Paul killed Felix.
He couldn't bring himself to kill Valerie.
After all, you never pretended he was her father.
You never made him play a role you created.
She already had an imaginary father.
An anonymous father, named by Jacques.
lt's natural that Jacques names the fathers, since he your brother is the real father of your children.
