PREVIOUSLY ON LE CLAN

And here is the organizer of the Vaillancourt contest,

Jean-François Gagnon!

You wouldn't be the first to return from Afghanistan with PTSD.

I got myself in deep shit,

telling my wife, I used to be in the Army.

Told you.

I'll fight for our equestrian center.

I won't be intimidated by your shitty condo project.

I haven't wasted eight years in here so that he can get away with it.

We'll find him, trust me.

You can't lead a normal life. You have to hide.

You'll have to hide your entire life.

Bonin, please take good care of yourself.

I'll try. And don't go too hard on him, OK?

He needs you.

No worries, he'll hold the fort.

He won't turn on you, like others we know.

No idea who you mean.

Bye, guys.

I didn't want to say it in front of the others, but...

I won't be running for mayor again.

You'll have better chances of getting through this if you stay positive.

I did it for 20 years.

I'm ready to hand this town over to someone I trust.

I'm talking about you. After my chemo, let's make this official.

You'll be the next mayor.

Don't you want to keep this for later, see how you react to the treatment?

And see if... I'm doing this right?

I'm not worried about you.

Well, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it. Think it over.

Hello? So, you said no?

I did.

The meeting just finished. Why?

No reason. Just asking. So, who's going to replace him?

Someone you hate? Or an ally of yours?

No. No.

Someone... Someone good, I think.

It's all good.

Call me back if anything comes up. And lets' meet up next month.

OK, bye.

I hope you're not the one who convinced the mayor to remove me as deputy.

Not at all. Why, are you surprised? You don't really know him, then.

His cancer is affecting his judgement. Our citizens shouldn't pay for that.

His judgement is intact: He realized you were acting behind his back.

I never concealed the fact that I wanted to build on the center grounds.

Well, keep dreaming about it. No one's gonna back you on that one.

I've been in law enforcement for 35 years.

I've seen my fair share of show-offs and windbags.

You might be deputy, but that doesn't mean you'll become mayor after the election.

For now, all I care about is saving the stable.

Where are you from? How long have you been here?

Do you really think our citizens will entrust their interest to a stranger?

My family has been living here for three generations.

Just like the trees around the stables. But you still want to cut them down.

I know what's good for this town. You don't.

You, becoming the next mayor? Over my dead body.

Nothing?

Nope. Come on.

My father's ex got abducted by a former boyfriend. Are we sure he's alright?

He might have been planning to leave for a while. He took all his pocket money.

Am I wrong or are you acting weird since I booked an interview for you?

The reporter is coming here. You won't even have to head out.

No rush. I've just been named.

Should I postpone it? To tomorrow afternoon, maybe?

Do we need it?

I'd rather focus on working with the engineer on a renovations budget.

I'm not on campaign yet.

And they'll want to assess the last contest.

You have one event per year, it isn't too much to ask.

But we messed up this year.

They're turning on us because of the horse.

Apparently, one of our volunteers let it out.

Mom?

One second, Antoinette.

OK.

You're telling me now?

That's what the Americans said. We'll know who it is when we see the video.

But why? Why would one of your volunteers do that?

No idea.

If your reporter asks me about this, what do I tell him?

Or if he asks about your father's cancer?

OK.

Forget about it. I'll cancel.

I'll call the cops again.

They're convinced he just ran off. They probably didn't search for long.

I have to do something, it's driving me mad.

I'll go and see what they're doing.

Don't be ridiculous. They'll just throw you out.

Just go home and work. They have your mobile number.

With the cops, if you don't ask, nothing gets done.

They're all a bunch of crooks.

Did Zac get in touch with his dad?

Why would he?

I don't know. He's always on the Internet.

Maybe Yannick found a way to reach him. Maybe they're together somewhere.

Where? At a holiday camp?

Yannick wouldn't take such a risk.

Yannick wasn't a choirboy, but he loved that kid.

-Hello? -It's me.

You tried to call me yesterday? They just gave me your message.

Is he back?

No.

What are you doing to find him?

Well, he didn't fall overboard. Someone saw him on the side of the road.

The cops know.

Put Pascal on.

He was released yesterday. He wasn't gonna spend the night at home.

Why do you want to talk to him? What's the matter?

Never mind that. Find Pascal and tell him to call me right back.

How come they're both missing?

What are you saying?

Sorry. Forget I said that. I'm probably imagining things.

Just find them, OK?

I'll call back tonight.

-OK, bye. -Bye.

Zac's gone missing at the same time as Pascal. I don't like that.

You're thinking what I'm thinking?

Are the Irish behind this? Taking the kid?

They might be trying to make him talk.

They might think we still know where Yannick's hiding.

What now?

If I'm looking to buy in your area, it's because I like riding.

So, if it's true that you'll tear down the center, I won't be buying anything.

I'd love to help you, but the mayor's secretary isn't here.

Could I possibly talk directly to the mayor?

He and I used to work together at St Barthélemy. He was a teacher there.

I'm so sorry. He's on sick leave right now.

But I could arrange for you to talk to the deputy mayor, Mr. Gagnon.

He'll be starting tomorrow.

Really? OK. Thank you. I'll call tomorrow.

Who's that?

Is he really one of ours guys?

I swear, I've never seen him.

Can't be.

And he's all alone? Were you short on staff or what?

Shit. Friday evening.

I asked Drolet to find some more volunteers.

Could it be one of his new guys? Can you please check with him?

Damn it. Are you planning to steal it or set it free? Hi, Drolet. It's Joe, I'm with Gagnon.

I need some information on the last-minute volunteers you hired for the festival.

Call us back as soon as possible.

His enemies are about to get out on parole. Pull him out.

His father and brother, yes. But not the Irish.

He's putting himself, you, and the whole team at risk.

Pull him out of the program.

Got it.

He can handle it.

Can we wait a bit? We'll know this week if the rest of his family gets out.

Have you gone soft or what?

He has an unconscious urge to get his ass kicked.

He feels guilty.

When you sell out your brothers and your dad to save your ass, it's normal.

Anyway, it's not our problem.

We need a doctor in the examination room. A doctor in the examination room, please.

It's my daughter Brigitte. She can't be five minutes without me.

Hello.

-How are you? -Good.

My daughter and I wanted to have a chat this morning. Is it OK?

OK. But don't take too long.

He might feel a bit weak in about an hour.

So, where did we leave things off?

What shall I say about your health when I make the official announcement?

When I had my first chemo,

I thought about holding a press conference.

To officially announce he'll be running for mayor in the election.

And until then, if I still can...

I'd like the public to see us together.

So they associate his candidacy to me. Do you understand?

My boy Pascal's gone missing. And Yannick's son, too.

If one of your gang members is trying to show off, it's going to get ugly.

The orders didn't come from me.

We served just as much time as you.

I've been telling you for eight years: We don't know anything.

Even if we had our balls ripped off, we still wouldn't know.

We're all in the same fucking shit, damn it.

OK.

Hi. Anything new?

No. Nothing.

And you?

Pascal must have stopped by.

Not for long.

He was about to get a ride.

Did he say where to?

My guess is the only place he could be at is Club 15.

Try that.

When you were with Zac, did he mention anything particular?

I mean, about Yannick?

Yannick?

You're the only one he'll talk to about him.

He hasn't mentioned him in ages. I think he knows he'll never see him again.

We barely talk at all, these days.

It's not one of the guys I sent you.

Positive. I swear on my girlfriend's ass.

No doubt, I know our guys. Doesn't ring a bell.

Who the fuck is that guy?

Not one of ours. It's got to be someone posing as a staff member.

Give me a copy. I'll pass it around and show it to our customers.

-Go ahead. -Yeah.

If I get a lead, I'll tell you.

Yeah?

Big news.

What's up?

Can you come to our usual spot at half past two?

OK.

Who was that?

My wife. I gotta go get something at the hardware store.

Bye, guys.

Oh, yeah, that's good.

Pascal?

Come on.

Don't freak out, but there's someone at the door.

So, what's the big news?

So you refused the deputy mayor position, huh?

Thanks.

Do you really think I believe everything you tell me?

It looks like you're doing it on purpose.

You weren't supposed to take the job. You gave me your word.

We had a deal, didn't we?

Is that the news? The big, bad news you mentioned?

Not quite.

The news is your brother Pascal got out of jail.

Your father and your brother Steve will get out, too. It's a matter of weeks.

You're bluffing. You're just trying to piss me off.

I'd love to piss you off just for fun. But I'm not like you.

I'm not a two-faced moron.

Can't we talk like two civilized people?

Looks like you're begging to get kicked out of the program. We had a deal.

What did I do wrong? Why can't you let me live in peace in my little town?

I'm being hired as a deputy mayor, not a hitman.

I just want to defend the center that's been in my wife's family for ages.

I want to defend what I built from the ground up with my pals

while I was in your damn program. I'd like to leave a legacy to my kids.

Are you really going to prevent me from fighting for this?

Stop it.

Look at me!

I'll be the coward who can't even put up a fight against some real estate guys,

just because there's a tiny chance that the guys after me will find me and--

Stop it! Calm the hell down!

I love my father-in-law, I do!

He trusted me, damn it! I didn't even know him,

but he asked me to take care of his equestrian center.

I'm not even doing it for the money, but to defend his family's honor.

My family's honor.

Alright.

It's done. Well, I'm off.

OK, then. I'll see you soon.

Right.

Where were you? You said you'd be right back.

I had a flat tire on the way back from the hardware store.

Maybe it's for the best. Marcil's in there.

It looks like he's leaving the council. He's pissed off against Bonin.

The elections will be a hell of a fight, he said he's going to run against you.

Would it kill you to wait for your turn?

I'll tell you when I'm done.

It's not your fault. I bet your mom didn't breastfeed you as a kid.

Fuck you, prick.

Really?

You got a problem?

We need to talk to your cousin.

Chad.

The number I have won't work.

JF? JF?

Another headache?

No.

Shouldn't we cook dinner?

I'll get up.

I told my father that

you know about Réjean Marcil's run against you. He wants you to call him.

Are you going to stay here all night?

I'd love to stay here. What about you?

Hey, Moreau!

Fucking little...

You have something for me?

Relax, man, I just got released!

You owe us big time, you know.

Yeah.

You'll have your cash.

When?

I don't know. In two weeks?

OK! In one week. One week!

It's your last chance, little son of a bitch.

My father thinks we should announce soon that you'll be replacing him.

It won't be easy to replace your dad. He's a big name in Vaillancourt.

My love, you have to trust yourself.

Hello? What?

Where are you? OK, don't move. I'm coming.

What's wrong?

The guys caught the jerk who stole the horse. They're waiting.

Why did you do it? I'm talking to you.

Get off me.

You're telling me that's not you in the picture?

Fuck off.

Fuck off, you, too!

-I'm gonna-- -Fuck this, man!

What were you doing dressed as a staff member?

Answer me!

Asshole. Do you know what you've done? Don't pretend if wasn't you, we know it!

-Whoa, hey! -Watch out!

-Let him go! -Stop it!

Fuck off! Damn it!

For fuck's sake.

Are you nuts? He's running away!

You were strangling him. Have you lost your mind?

I wrote down his plate number.

It's the police's job to catch him.

Alright?

Hello.

Thank you.

I got a feeling today's going to be a quiet day.

I'm rather bored.

Would you like to join me somewhere for dinner?

We'll see.

What do you mean?

What are you doing here?

And Caro?

I'm alone.

I needed a break.

Hello?

What's the deal? Since when is he on the run?

Almost three days.

He ran out of cash. He came to see me at work.

One second. Caro! Caro!

Wait a sec, I'm putting Caro on the line.

Zac ran out of cash, he's with Mathieu!

Mathieu?

Mom. I have three property visits, I can't hand them to another agent.

Just come and get him.

Pascal got out of jail, don't you wanna see him? I'll cook dinner.

What do I do with him all day?

Take him with you. He'll be thrilled.

Put him on. I'll convince him.

Mathieu.

You could drive him back tonight. Your mother would be happy.

As for me, it's tough not to see you anymore.

Stéph. I thought it was all settled between us. You and me, it's not working. It will never work.

What about your brother?

Zac's been acting up, ever since you moved out.

Look, I like Zac, but he's not my kid. I'm not responsible for him.

You sound like my mom.

Screw you.

I have no time right now. I'm working.

If you can't drive him, put him on the bus.

OK. I'll do it after work. I don't know when I'll be done. Bye.

Guess what I was dreaming about.

I was kissing you in the neck with my spiky facial hair.

Stop it, stop it. It tickles.

OK, everyone, let's eat. We have some work to do today.

We'll see Grandpa's friends at the diner.

I'll give you a clue, OK?

It's very, very big and very, very grey.

Um... an elephant.

Yes. Right.

Did Dad's nightmare wake you up last night? Me, too.

He was screaming.

Did you call your father?

He needed it.

You should call him. Tell him you'll stop by and...

DON MOREAU AND HIS THREE SONS ARRESTED IN SHEDIAC

ARTISTS AND BLUE SKYES EXPOSED AT THE ARENA

We're coming.

We'll be there in half an hour. Bye.

Who was it?

Yolande. Réjean Marcil is gunning you down in the morning papers.

"How could a festival organizer

with such shortcomings aspire to become our mayor?" The electoral campaign is going to start early this year.

Listen to this: "Let's imagine that one of our citizens

had hit the horse and had died in an accident."

And he says that it was your volunteer who opened the door.

Can we sue him for this?

And he wonders if it's safe to have an equestrian center in town.

He says it's unsafe.

Don't look. He's here.

If he insults you, let everybody hear it.

Can I help you?

You've started a great smearing campaign.

How much did you pay your reporters for that pile of rubbish?

So, your real estate project?

Not at word?

When I'll get asked about my plans, I'll be happy to talk about them.

And where did you hear that a volunteer was responsible for the horse running off?

The question is, why did you try to hide it?

I didn't hide anything. I needed a real culprit before making any accusations.

-It was a volunteer. -No.

It wasn't. Maybe it was one of your guys.

You like unfunded accusations? I can do it, too. Laroche? Rings a bell?

It was one of his construction workers who sabotaged my race.

Be careful about what you're saying. Very careful.

The reporter is here.

It's gonna get hot.

Come on.

We're not sure.

JF. I know you don't want to pick up, but it's not funny.

Marcil's talking to the reporter I called so you could tell your own story.

If you're not back in five minutes, I'll never talk to you again.

You'll find someone else to handle your communication. I'll resign.

Laroche? It's me.

I just got slapped in the face. I heard that a guy who's working for you

might have let a horse run off during the equestrian event.

Is that true? Call me back.

You're not coming?

No, but never mind that.

See you. Did he calm down?

Yeah. I think so.

Are you coming in?

I don't have much time. I have to drive back soon.

Come on, we won't mention any of this. We just need to talk about the boat.

Come on, Mom. Get a life, will you? I don't want any part in this.

Stop being such a jerk. Come on, come inside.

Why didn't you call?

I took a taxi, don't worry.

Apparently, it's normal after chemo. I had some sort of gastroenteritis.

They're giving me this to rehydrate.

So.

What about Jean-François?

Marcil went after him personally.

He'll have to defend himself,

but each time I have to fight to get him to do an interview.

How is he going to handle the campaign?

I don't get it.

He's not even shy.

I know. Shall I ask him?

No. Don't do anything.

But it makes no sense.

-Could he be having second thoughts? -No.

-He's not interested? -No.

I think it's because he's afraid of disappointing you.

I'll ask Arthur to talk to him.

Hey, Mom.

No need to worry, he just got home.

Do you want to talk to him?

No, it's OK. Go and have your dinner. I'll call back tomorrow. Bye.

They're all back home. We got worried over nothing.

Good to know Pascal is safe.

I'm really wary about Yannick's little bastard.

He's just a kid, for Christ's sake.

They're both dead to me.

He slept there?

No, outside. Just opposite Mathieu's office.

How did he get there?

He hitchhiked. He has no money left and won't tell me anything else.

Did you scold him?

No, I'm too angry right now.

I'll talk to him when I'm calm.

Who's hungry? Dinner's ready. Those fucking Irish are out of their minds.

Get used to it. They've been hassling me ever since I got out.

Logan and his fucking gang.

He's got another guy runnnig his business with his own agenda.

Looks like Marcil's on the war path.

We'll have to roll up our sleeves.

If that's any good, I talked to the Americans.

They sent the accident report to a vet.

That'll help us.

Gilles told me you're not too hot about talking to the press. You should.

Marcil just tarnished your festival's reputation. You gotta get back at him.

I know, I should.

If you don't want to do it, we're screwed. Marcil is ready for war.

I know.

He'll use every chance he gets to promote his condo project.

How are we going to fight back?

I get it. I'll do what I have to.

I did everything so you wouldn't feel this way.

So you could have a normal life.

Look.

You have your mother.

You have me.

You have your Uncle Mathieu, even though he's not perfect.

Some kids in this world don't even have that.

Tell yourself that. It could have been worse.

How about some hot chocolate?

Come on.

I'm gonna catch you. I'm gonna catch you, watch out!

Maybe I should spend my life in hiding, but that won't work for me.

You're making a big mistake.

You want to stay in the program, but you are about to step in front of the cameras.

How am I supposed to follow you?

The Irish never managed to trace me. My folks won't be any better at it.

Right, bury your head in the sand. That's so typical of you.

None of them listen to the news. My father can't even read.

I'll be on the regional news for 20 seconds. They'll never find me.

Your father and your brothers are all gonna get released.

They'll stop at nothing to find you.

Same goes for the Irish.

I'll take my chances.

OK. What did he say?

What?

That'll depend on what he has.

Yannick, it's Jean-Jean. Call me back, it's urgent.

Steve and your father got out of jail this week.

Someone they know from jail found you. Call me back.
