PREVIOUSLY ON LE CLAN

After my chemo, let's make this official.

You'll be the next mayor.

Have you forgotten who you used to be?

He's putting

you and himself at risk.

Pull him out of the program.

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

What did I do wrong?

Huh? Why can't you let me live in peace in my little town?

Do you really think our citizens will entrust their interest

to a stranger?

You, our next mayor? Over my dead body.

Your father and brothers are all gonna get released.

They'll stop at nothing to find you.

I'll take my chances.

What does he want?

News about his cousin.

Go on home, don't wait for me.

Good to see you.

-Guess what? -What?

We have his address.

Why wait here?

Just go, I'm waiting for his kid to leave to talk to him.

With a baseball bat?

Let's calm down.

Go with him, we'll get our guy.

Freaking asshole.

Alright. Talk to you later.

-Bye. -Bye.

What, did you want another one?

You're gonna tell me what you were trying to prove.

I had a plan. Really?

What plan? Assaulting him, like you did the other night?

The guys were asking for it the other night.

What matters...

is that the Americans realize that Gabriel Daneau wasn't your volunteer.

I want more.

I wanna prove that Marcil intended to sabotage us.

Prove it how?

You know Marcil would do anything to jeopardize our project.

After everything your father told us about him? Come on now.

And your plan is?

My plan... I'll tell Daneau not to identify him,

in exchange for the name of the bastard who hired him.

Fuck that, JF.

You're not a gangster, you're the Deputy Mayor.

So, what's your solution?

Let's prove to the American insurer that you found the culprit

and that he wasn't working for you.

Just go to the police and have them issue a report.

In Vaillancourt? Marcil was Chief of Police there for 20 years.

Then go to another station. There are plenty around.

Hello?

Hi, it's Nicole.

Hi, Auntie, how are you?

I left a message for your dad about two months ago,

is he ever gonna call me back?

Dad's been really busy lately.

Auntie?

Are you there?

Do you remember when I used to take you on vacation with me as a kid?

Yeah, of course. Where are you right now?

I'm not over the moon, I can tell you that.

Things are tough right now.

My former agent took off with the earnings from my latest gigs.

Anyway. But don't worry, I'm not calling to borrow money from you.

Did something happen?

I read in the paper that your man and Réjean were at each other's throats.

Your husband went a bit far, don't you think?

Réjean might be a terrible husband,

but he'd never hire anyone to get a horse killed.

The kids are about to eat, can I call you back?

No, no, don't bother.

I'll call back.

Hey, wait until it's on the table.

If anyone wants to dig in, now's the time.

What, we were supposed to wait? Why?

Leave some for us. I thought we were waiting for Mathieu.

He called. He's not coming.

Did you really think he'd come and see us?

He has a job. He's working.

He's too snobbish for us.

True, he's always been a snob. He takes after his mother.

Come on.

Careful, it's hot. Zac, make some space.

Thanks.

Does he always smile that much?

You weren't cheerful either at his age.

Feeling hormonal?

Looking for love?

Leave him alone.

If he takes after his dad,

he'll be fine.

Don't mention him. He doesn't exist.

That'd be good.

I know guys who would've done it for a quarter of the price.

Really?

What guys?

Well...

Don't try to bullshit me, you can't hide anything from me.

That fucking snitch.

Imagine the look on his face when he sees us.

I'm sure he's somewhere in the South.

If that's true, I guarantee you that won't be for long.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi. This way.

You can keep it.

The owners of the horse will need a report for their insurance.

OK.

They asked who the culprit was.

He was dressed as a staff member, but he wasn't. We found out who he was.

His name and address are in the envelope, along with pictures of the horse.

It looks like the consequences of his actions are rather serious.

Why not file your complaint in Vaillancourt?

Thanks.

Did you read the rubbish in the morning paper?

DEPUTY MAYOR FIGHTS BACK

JEAN-FRANÇOIS GAGNON EXPLAINS HIS VERSION OF THE FACTS

Goddammit.

Your Deputy Mayor's a freaking nutcase.

These rumors of his are ruining our reputation.

We're not done with him yet.

We can't let him say that. We have to sue him.

Wait, wait. Let's talk somewhere else.

I'm surprised to hear you. I was starting to think you'd fled to Mexico.

No way, that'd be way too boring.

I couldn't call earlier. My father-in-law had complications with his cancer.

I drove him to the hospital

-and spent the day there. -OK.

Can we meet this afternoon?

I doubt it,

my truck's down.

Find another excuse.

Come on,

don't punish me for that.

I'll keep a low profile. Deputy Mayor is something I can do from an office.

No one will know I even exist, besides the Council. I swear on my kids' lives.

Cut the crap. If you don't have a ride, I'll meet you at the usual spot.

Take a taxi, we'll pay you back.

Be there at 2 p.m.

Damn it.

You're trying to ruin my reputation, aren't you, Gagnon?

Hi.

Reading in the local paper that a horse ran off from your shitty festival

and that the person responsible for it might have acted on our behalf,

that kind of pisses me off.

I don't care much about what the press says. Do you?

Look, we all know you're the one who told that story to the reporters.

We know the game!

All I said is that it was a criminal act carried out by one of your employees.

If their imagination runs with it, it's not my problem.

If your story wasn't complete bullshit,

would you even give me his name? Huh?

What's his name?

Keep your goon out of this.

Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.

Listen, you moron. I have 83 employees.

I can't watch over all of them.

Didn't you and your guys sabotage a construction site in 2011,

just because the city didn't give you the job?

What did you say?

No one sued, because Marcil's on your side!

Hey!

Get your hands off of him.

I'm calling the cops.

Listen.

Call back your reporter.

Right, sure.

And take back what you said.

And while you're at it,

tell them you're full of shit! He just needed to get it out of his system.

No, it's intimidation. We have to call the cops.

No, don't do that. Besides, I have a meeting at 2 p.m.

With whom?

A breeder from Chicago.

I gotta head to Quebec.

Hey, man!

What happened, you're on a diet?

Sort of. I do what I can.

How are the kids?

Do you still grow you-know-what?

Yeah.

Helps pay the bills.

I didn't even know you got out.

Well, I did.

Being locked up for eight years empties your pockets big time.

That's too bad.

I stopped hiring three weeks ago.

You're gonna remember me!

Get up. Go get your pot from wherever you're growing it.

How much do you owe me?

Fuck you, Moreau!

How much do you owe me?

Go get my cash. And what next?

They'll torch our house?

Bunch of cowards.

I'm not surprised Marcil's in cahoots with them.

But after what Jean-François told the press, we knew they'd be pissed off.

I'll talk to him. He's a bit reckless.

He didn't start any of this.

I know, I know.

We'll all have to take it down a notch. Not only Marcil, but Jean-François, too.

Has he heard from the Americans since he filed his complaint?

It's their move now.

Aunt Nicole called this morning.

So it's a day full of good news, huh?

What did she want? Money?

Probably. She was drunk.

If I'd stayed on the line, she would've mentioned the inheritance she never got.

If she ever gets started with that again, just hang up.

Can you wait until my nomination before you bring out the big guns?

All you had to do to stay in the program was to do as you were told.

Why are you so damn strict?

Look.

Am I gonna lose my protection because of this? Look at my picture.

Do I look like Yannick Moreau? Not even remotely.

Actually, my bosses wanted

to kick you out of the program

the second you got involved with your festival.

I won't even mention your job as City Councilman.

You wanna kick me out of the program? Have it your way.

Gagnon.

This meeting isn't over.

You're a bunch or assholes. Did I do something illegal?

-No. -Gagnon...

Did I contact my family?

Calm down.

All I did was try my best with what I had.

You want me to stop living to humor you?

Do you think I like looking at myself?

All you guys are good for is covering your asses.

Shit.

I doubt you invited me here just to talk about the good old days.

No, you're right. I don't know how to say this,

but the Victoriaville head investigator called.

He wanted info about you.

Really?

Somebody filed a complaint about a guy who stole a horse at a festival--

Wait, hold on.

That happened on our turf.

Why aren't our guys handling it?

That's exactly what I asked.

The guy who filed the complaint thinks you might hinder the investigation,

because the suspect is an employee of your construction project contractor.

Goddammit.

Gagnon.

Look at me. I have nothing to do with this.

The guy's name is Jean-François Gagnon. I'm running against him in the election

and he'll stop at nothing to ruin my reputation. All that stuff is bullshit.

Thank you.

Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Easy, honey. Grandpa is tired.

My darling.

Honey, I think the kids will be better with you right now.

I won't be done before an hour or two.

JF, come here. I wanna talk to you.

How was the traffic?

Aren't you coming back from Quebec?

Yeah, yeah. But I left before rush hour.

Off you go.

For someone

who hates reporters...

you've been rather chatty.

Marcil tried to discredit me, so I'm doing the same to him.

But those aren't just rumors you spread. You mentioned a conspiracy.

Marcil and Laroche might be planning to build on our site,

but you're gonna have to relax.

Call your reporter and take it back.

Why would I do that?

In politics, you have to play above the law. Always.

You're defending Marcil?

Who, me? Never. I'm done with Marcil. I did my share.

But I want you to play fair.

How's it going?

So?

So you got yourself a nice job?

I'm doing my best.

Happy to see us?

Sure.

I got work to do, though.

Right, you seem in a rush.

Why are you here?

We need to make some cash. We thought about you.

We wanna make a deal.

Give us the keys to one of your vacant houses and we'll take care of it.

Goddammit, guys.

There's an investigator here for you.

So soon?

They're fast.

It's not the same guy as last time.

Let's go.

Vaillancourt Police Department.

I'm handling the complaint you filed in Victoriaville.

But I didn't want it to be handled here. I explained everything to the police.

I don't know what happened.

I guess the complaint is too light to be handled over there.

But I assure you, we'll be looking into it with the utmost care and impartiality.

And?

Was it that bad?

Consider yourself lucky. Talking to a social worker once a week isn't too bad.

So? Is it a woman or a man?

A moron.

Hey. What's with the attitude?

I haven't slept.

We won't be celebrating every night.

I didn't celebrate. I had no reason to.

You'd prefer them to still be in jail?

Look, Zac.

I love your grandfather.

Same goes for Pascal, same goes for Steve.

Yes, I've heard it all before. "I love them all the same." Blah, blah.

And now that they're back, you won't care about my father anymore.

What are you saying?

Don't pretend you don't know.

No. I don't know what you mean.

Yeah, right.

I don't.

You know where he is. You're gonna get back at him.

Don't pretend that idiot Steve is the only one who knows.

I'll be right back.

The guy's name is Gabriel Daneau. He's denying everything.

Do you believe him?

Not really. The video's pretty revealing.

But we need more to incriminate him. All we see is him walking the horse out.

What about the rumor that he earned good money? Didn't you look into that?

I'll put someone on it.

But tell me more about his boss. Your contractor.

Do you have something on him?

He's been accused of threats before.

The complaint was withdrawn.

You signed it. It should ring a bell. If you say so, I believe you.

Are you saying

that I'm protecting my contractor?

No. Look.

All I'm saying is that Daneau's story isn't straight.

But when I talked to him, I learned something that will please you.

Something good about Gagnon.

Really?

Are you not meeting with your parole officer today?

I postponed it to tomorrow.

Stick around for a second.

I have a question for you.

Do you have something to tell me about Yannick?

Why do you ask?

Is it true you know where he is?

Did you pay someone to find him?

Zac heard you and Pascal talk about it.

Is that true?

I bet he stole some pot from us and hallucinated the whole night.

Zac wouldn't lie about this. I'm sure he didn't make it up.

Do you plan on doing that, yes or no?

I didn't know.

Yannick didn't know you'd get caught.

He told it to Stéphanie.

Come on.

It's nothing but bullshit.

Unbelievable.

I can't believe you're still mad at him.

I can understand why Steve and Yannick hate each other, but you?

Your own son.

I'm not sure I'd like to see him dead.

But if someone rips out his tongue one day,

it'll be because he had it coming.

Laroche?

It's me. I heard about the development.

I have a favor to ask. We're gonna need some muscle. OK? Bye.

She fell asleep after just a few pages.

You're lucky.

When I read, it doesn't work.

Makes sense. You're better than me at telling stories.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Actually...

you're not bad at telling stories yourself.

What stories?

I know you didn't go to Quebec today.

I saw you at the mall, talking to a man I don't know.

I'm gay. Didn't you know?

Why did you tell me you were going to Quebec?

Who's that guy?

It's something I didn't want you to know.

Even though you gave me the idea.

I'm seeing my pals from Afghanistan again.

Maybe it will help me understand my panic attacks.

That guy's my former sergeant.

That's great.

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

The guy you saw has issues that are far worse than mine.

He won't talk.

I was gonna tell you, but right now, I'd rather keep this to myself.

OK? Yeah.

Mr. Gagnon?

You're under arrest.

You were at Fred's Diner on the evening of the 21st.

Customers saw you with friends.

You saw Daneau. Maybe.

Don't deny you hit him. I have proof.

Go on, show me your proof.

You're almost pissing yourself with anticipation. Go on, open your file.

No way. I swear I didn't do this.

You grabbed his throat.

Your pals stopped you from killing him.

What? I'm telling you, I didn't do this to him. No way.

Come in.

The Mayor's here for you.

Your mother thinks Zac's telling the truth.

Did I miss something?

I might've said that we'll soon know where Yannick's hiding.

Who told you?

My Mi'kmaq friend.

He's well connected.

Really?

How did he find out?

Did he make a fire and send out smoke signals?

Would it kill you to give me some credit from time to time?

I know it's a good lead. A damn good lead.

I wanted to surprise you.

Do we have to pay him?

Did I ask you for money?

Don't give him a cent until you know for sure his lead's legit. Got it?

Got it.

It's a setup.

You hit him in front of your friends.

They had to stop you.

Maybe you hit him harder than you thought.

No, I saw him the next day and he didn't have a single bruise.

You went to see him?

To offer him a deal.

I just wanted to talk. Brigitte knew about it, just ask her.

I didn't touch him.

My friends were there. They'll confirm it.

In that case, plead not guilty and call me once you get home.

If Marcil did this, I'll handle it.

No jail for me.

Too bad, huh?

I'm off to the stable.

Go ahead, I'll join you.

We're training Florida.

Daneau.

Tell me you didn't go see him.

Swear.

I swear.

Now stop it.

Is your Army friend involved in any of this?

How could he?

There's so much violence going on--

No. If you saw the pictures, you'd know. It was a setup.

I'll be back.

So.

Looks like you really needed to see me.

Réjean.

Our disagreement about the equestrian center is one thing.

-But this-- -Hey.

Listen.

I wasn't alone, when we started discussing a potential construction project.

You're acting as if I did it all behind your back.

Excuse me?

The Council said many times we wouldn't build any more condos.

And now your contractor's trying to intimidate my son-in-law.

I have nothing to do with this. Same goes for that horse that ran off.

Really?

You made sure it would harm us.

I know you had your ex-partners handle the investigation against Daneau.

Can you prove it?

I was your in-law,

I know you.

One of your guys beat up Daneau, so you could keep him in check.

Let's make sure the truth comes out.

Otherwise, I'll tell them a few things about you. Remember the renovation work in your kitchen?

I do.

First of all,

I have no control on my former officers. They're doing just fine without me.

And second, what Nicole told Brigitte

about our kitchen renovations was completely exaggerated.

We were getting a divorce.

Nicole wanted to hurt me.

Don't insult my intelligence, damn it.

-It was-- -It was a bribe. Period.

You should've kicked me out of the Council when you had the chance.

But you kept your mouth shut.

And now you can't do it anymore. It would backfire on you if you did.

Really?

You're forgetting something.

Personally, I have nothing to lose.

Nothing. Hi.

Hi, Caro. Steve.

I haven't agreed yet.

The money he borrowed wasn't to rent an apartment.

He has a plan and I'll do everything I can to stop him.

Drugs again?

No.

He hired someone in jail to find Yannick's whereabouts.

He might have a lead.

Seriously?

He wouldn't say anything more.

He wants revenge.

I just can't accept that.

There are witnesses. The customers saw me assault him.

Yeah, so?

We saw him two days later, he was fine.

Not a scratch.

Not a single bruise. Nothing.

We can't say we went to his place just to watch him mow the lawn.

No, to check his address. We needed it to file our complaint. That's normal.

We know you didn't hurt him.

But I grabbed him.

When?

I don't remember.

And the guys won't either.

You think?

I only remember that you had some words about the horse

and then he took off.

He wants to play? We know how to play, too.

So you hear things in your sleep, huh? And then you go babbling about them?

What do you mean?

You're a little rat like your dad.

Can you please bring the flour? I'm waiting for you.

Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Mayor. My name is Daneau.

Gabriel Daneau.

I don't wanna talk to you.

I have things to tell you that you'll want to hear.

I don't appreciate what you said about my son-in-law.

I know. But I can tell you the truth now.

OK. But only in the presence of a witness.

I came to see you. I don't want to share my story with the whole town.

What is said within these walls will stay within these walls.

If he tries to touch me, I'm out of here.

I'm not talking to him!

You took a horse out of its box during my festival

and told the cops I beat you up so they'd frame me!

-You bet your ass you're gonna talk. -Calm down!

Just now,

you were about to tell me who paid you to do it.

You needed to tell me. He has a right to know, too.

OK, so who paid you? Marcil?

Talk, goddammit!

OK! Your sister.

What did he say?

My sister?

Yeah.

Nicole?

Steve, I might have a solution for you.

I think I can help you. Call me back. Bye.

Before she started drinking again, she was my AA sponsor.

She was actually more than that,

some nights.

She liked me.

When she heard that the center would remain untouched, she snapped.

After your father disinherited her, she always wanted

to hurt you big time.

OK, we got that.

So she asked you to harm us, but what about the rest?

Why did you accuse me of beating you up?

Laroche and Marcil felt threatened, since that article in the paper.

They thought someone put me up to it.

But when I told them it was Nicole, it got even worse.

How so?

They said if I was to rat on Nicole, I'd regret it.

They told me to keep my mouth shut.

Something doesn't add up. They beat the crap out of you

and you agree to pin the whole thing on me? What the hell?

Réjean Marcil.

If I was to pin it on you,

he'd convince his police pals not to convict me about the horse.

Why are you telling us this?

Because I'm freaking out.

My wife wants me to go to the police, but I don't want to.

I said I'd come to you first,

to see if you could talk to Marcil.

He could get rid of me.

You're the only one who can still stand up to him.

Chad. It's Moreau.

There you go. Yeah, very good.

Sit up straight.

Yeah?

Hi. Should I wait for you for dinner or will you be working all night?

No, I'm done. Our little darling made you a drawing.

-Really? -I'll show you.

I'll race you there.

Hello, Yannick? It's Jean-Jean.

Call me back, it's urgent. Really urgent. Steve and your father just got released this week.

Apparently, someone from jail found out your whereabouts. Call me.

Just leave the kids with Joe. I could really use a break right now.

On a week night?

We have to!

My life is in danger. Our lives are in danger.

We have to go without the kids.

We'll take them to Joe's, they'll be safe.

I'll explain on the way, but we gotta leave. Now.
