RENUF: A woman stumbled upon him while she was walking her dogs.

Uh, we just got here, locked down the scene.

RENUF: Not yet.

ARCH: What is it?

ARCH: Tell us about Lucas.

RENUF: Uh, I hadn’t seen him since graduation,

and, uh, to be honest...

I didn’t like him very much.

- Oh, should we be looking at you as a suspect?

RENUF: He was just one of those guys,

always mean to everyone, a bully.

He moved away after graduation...

He must be back in town for the reunion, 30 years.

It’s this weekend.

- No phone or wallet.

Officers are fanned out in all directions.

Renuf, you’ve got the sharpest eyes around.

I could really use your help.

- Hm.

FITZ: Well...

It smells like Renuf’s pal had more than

a few drinks last night.

- Yeah...

Black eye, scratched knuckles,

maybe, uh, a robbery turned violent.

Expensive clothes, here from away...

He would have been a perfect target.

- What do you think caused these?

ARCH: Whatever it was, it was sharp, thin...

The wound is a mess, like multiple stab attempts.

- Lucas’s ID...

and, uh, this.

- Well, he used his credit card last night.

- Well, I guess now we know where this guy was drinking.

- Yeah, he was here with a big group.

Insisted on paying the bill, made a big show of it.

Ordering all our most expensive booze, cognac and champagne.

- Mm-hm. Big spender. - VEDA: Yeah.

- Did he rub anyone the wrong way?

- Um, they didn’t stick around for very long, thank God.

He was getting on my nerves.

FITZ: Was there anyone with him that you recognized?

- The pharmacist from down the street...

What is her name?

- Marcella Morin. - Yes.

- Yeah, she was in our class as well.

Very popular and nice, always had great hair.

- Well, when she left, she was pretty pissed off.

I don’t know why, but she stormed out of here.

- Yeah, I-- I know her pharmacy.

Uh, she took it over from her parents years back.

- Let’s go see what made her so upset.

- Let me know. Bye.

MARCELLA: Lucas just flew in for the reunion.

I-- I can’t believe that he’s...

Oh...

- Marcella, uh, we know you were out with Lucas

and some of the old gang last night.

- Uh, yeah, we thought it might be nice to catch up

before the official party at the school tonight.

I imagine the whole thing is cancelled now.

I took some pictures.

- Ah, here, uh, let me...

Okay, so, that’s Lucas... and you?

Obviously with the great hair, as always.

And that’s, uh...

Etienne Picard and Avril Roy.

And is that... Jack Dupuis?

No...

- Mm-hm.

We hadn’t seen each other in years.

We’ve all changed, Renuf.

- A witness claims that you left early.

That you were upset about something?

- Oh. No, that was nothing.

I have to open the pharmacy early,

so the late nights don’t really work for me anymore.

They were just... giving me a hard time for, um, leaving.

RENUF: They? What, was it Lucas giving you a hard time?

- It was just Lucas being Lucas.

He rubbed people the wrong way, myself included.

But he wasn’t without his charm.

- Not sure I agree, but you were closer to him.

- Do you know where Lucas was staying?

He doesn’t seem to be registered at any hotel.

- Oh, yeah. At Etienne’s parents’ place.

- Etienne and Lucas were tight in high school.

I’m putting my number in so that you can forward us

this, uh, picture, okay?

- Of course.

- And we’ll do everything we can to find out what happened.

- Okay.

RENUF: Etienne’s house was the place for the cool parties

in high school.

- Oh, were you one of the cool kids, Renuf?

- Uh, let’s just say this is the first time

I’ll be seeing the inside of this house.

- Well, for what it’s worth, I hated high school too.

- [knocks]

FITZ: Oh, we got a car here.

RENUF: Etienne could be in trouble.

FITZ: Check the door.

RENUF: Hello?

Police.

Etienne?

- Looks like a... high school party.

ETIENNE: Hello?

Renuf?

What the hell are you doing here?

RENUF: I’m sorry, I... I know you were close.

- Yeah, I mean, we haven’t had a lot of contact over the years,

but... yeah.

ARCH: Lucas was staying here with you?

We need to go through his things.

- Yeah, his room is right down the hall.

- So, this is your parents’ place.

- My parents live away for most of the year.

And I moved back home ’cause I needed a little restart.

- What happened to your arm?

- Oh, this? Uh...

I don’t know.

Guess I drank too much.

And the whole night’s a bit of... bit of a blur.

- Lucas’s bags aren’t even unpacked.

Have you seen his phone?

- No. Guys, I’m just trying to take this all in.

FITZ: Walk us through what happened yesterday

and last night, step by step.

- Sure. I-- I...

picked Lucas up at the airport,

we came back here, dropped off his stuff,

and then had a few drinks.

Then we met with the others and, uh,

Lucas wanted to keep the party going,

so we came back here and I guess I passed out.

- Lucas had a way of getting under people’s skin.

Did he have any tension with anyone last night?

- Yeah, Lucas and Avril really went at it.

It was like we slipped back in time.

I-- I didn’t hear what they were on about, but... yeah.

You know.

- Uh, Lucas and Avril dated in high school

and were notorious for their epic fights.

Our yearbook. I lost mine years ago.

You okay if we borrow this for a while?

- Yeah.

MARCUS: I understand you went to school with the victim?

RENUF: A lifetime ago.

I looked into it.

Lucas moved to New York after our graduation,

was a financial adviser there.

Single, no kids.

- The body was found in front of the statue.

Here.

FITZ: And we don’t know if the body was dumped

or if the guy made his way there himself.

- Any idea on the murder weapon? - Not yet.

I mean, he was stabbed. The wound was deep.

He had scratches on his knuckles, bruises on his face.

- Lucas’s phone is MIA, there’s no signal,

but I’ve got an alert set if that changes.

RENUF: From what I can tell,

Lucas hasn’t been back since we graduated.

His parents aren’t in town;

they spend most of the year down south.

He has no other family here.

- So, the vic hasn’t got many connections left

in Saint-Pierre?

RENUF: Except the people he was with last night.

Uh, Marcella Morin, local pharmacist.

Etienne Picard, recently moved back here.

We haven’t talked to Avril Roy and, uh, Jack Dupuis.

- They’re both staying at the Nuits Hôtel.

- You mean together? - No, separate rooms.

- Coroner’s initial report should be ready by now.

Go check on Avril and Jack, and we’ll meet you at the hotel.

- Sir... - Yes?

- Renuf knew the victim

and was friends with some of the suspects.

You sure he should be on this case?

ARCH: We know most of what we know

because of Renuf.

He’s an asset to the investigation.

- I agree. Saint-Pierre’s a small island.

If we start recusing ourselves every time we know somebody,

we wouldn’t get anything done.

Understood?

All right.

- At least Renuf seems to be telling the whole truth.

NATASHA: Stabbed with a long piece of glass.

Wouldn’t have been my first choice,

but sharp, pointy, did the trick.

- Weapon of opportunity.

NATASHA: Shattered inside the torso.

It’ll take me a while to figure out

exactly what type of glass it is.

- Prints? - Seriously?

- Okay, um, if he was stabbed with a broken glass,

the killer may have cut their own hand in the act.

- I will check that, yes.

Also, there are superficial punctures

around the fatal wound.

- The killer was hesitant.

Like it was personal, or...

- Or... whoever killed him didn’t want to.

Self-defence, maybe?

ARCH: Mm-hm.

NATASHA: His face was nice and messed up,

so if it was a fight, it would make sense

that the killer was acting spontaneously.

- Time of death?

- That’s the tricky part.

The glass missed the major arteries.

- Meaning... he bled out slowly.

- Could have taken as long as an hour.

I’m guessing around 2:00 AM.

- So, the end of a late night. - Right.

Fist fight gets messy,

our guy here, he gets stabbed so he takes off.

He runs away and he drops right where we found him.

NATASHA: Not a comfortable hike, but possible.

- Right, so... if he were drunk,

might have numbed some of the pain.

- Give us a call when you get the blood panel, please.

NATASHA: Mm-hm.

RENUF: No sign of Avril or Jack,

but their, uh, their luggage is still there.

Wow.

we hadn’t seen each other in years.

But just like always, after a few drinks,

we were right back to where we started.

First the flirting, then the fighting, and then...

We, uh, used to sneak into the chem lab to hook up,

so that’s how we ended up there.

- And you ended up locked up in a closet. How?

I just ducked into the closet.

I was embarrassed for falling into old patterns.

Uh, I-- I kind of... opened the closet door to look,

and that’s when it-- it slammed shut,

and I was knocked back, and...

It was... it’s all a bit fuzzy after that.

- Try and think, Avril. Who would have come after Lucas?

- Well, um...

Lucas was back to his old ways with Jack.

He was hounding him all night.

He can be such a jerk that way.

- Lucas used to bully Jack pretty hard back in the day.

I had completely forgotten about that.

- It got so bad, Jack stabbed Lucas with a fork

in senior year.

RENUF: Oh my God, yes. You’re right.

We could only use plastic forks after that.

You don’t think...

Jack attacked Lucas in the chem lab.

Sort of a nerd, you might say.

Maybe Renuf should have a go at him, hey?

You might have a way to bring him around.

Past history can be very useful in an interrogation.

MARCUS: Yeah.

See what you can get out of him.

- Don’t screw it up.

RENUF: We found these images online.

- What’s this, Renuf?

- You’re a trained fighter.

And that cut on your face wasn’t from shaving, so...

you want to start telling me the truth?

Truth... about what?

- It-- it’s funny what 30 years will do.

What we remember and what we forget.

For example, I had completely forgotten how much Lucas

bullied you back then.

But I remember now.

He tortured you endlessly.

Until one day, you had enough.

- Oh, the fork?

That was a flesh wound. Lucas was fine.

- Yeah, but Jack, I was there.

You were furious. You completely lost control.

So, you think I... I killed Lucas

because he used to bully me in high school?

RENUF: I think that you got into a fist fight

with Lucas last night. I think Lucas was a jerk.

And I think that bad things happen

when people drink too much.

You yourself told me you blacked out.

I smacked him around a little bit.

I’ve been wanting to do that for years.

Lucas was fine.

He was alive.

RENUF: Yeah, but you lied to us

You were not out for a walk

when we met with you at the hotel this morning.

You were wearing the same clothes from the night before.

Lucas was being a prick and Jack was furious.

But I swear, Jack did not kill Lucas.

- Are you okay?

I assume you heard all that?

- Can we charge Marcella and the others

for what they did to Miss Collier?

- Not yet.

I know it’s not what you want to hear.

But... they were minors.

- That’s no excuse.

MARCUS: It’s not. And trust me...

they will pay.

One way or another.

But right now we need to figure out

who killed Lucas last night.

One step at a time.

- What else did she give you?

- Marcella told us she didn’t drink from the trophy

we retrieved from the school,

but she thinks the rest of them did.

- Gonna have it tested to see if that’s how Lucas was drugged.

- One of them said they barely remembered last night.

Were they all drugged?

- Everyone but the killer?

MARCUS: We’ll need blood work on all of them, ASAP.

- Yeah, we’ll start with Avril. She’s already at the hospital.

They would have done her blood work

as standard procedure.

♪

- Was-- was she alone?

I don’t know, but she seemed eager to get out of here.

- While we’re here, we need a full run-down

of her blood results, please.

- Okay.

- If Avril was hurt so badly, why would she be

in such a rush to get out of here?

[phone ringing]

ARCH: [phone] Yes?

- We heard a buzzing coming from one of the evidence bags.

- It’s Lucas’s phone.

The yearbook club group chat got a text.

- And the message says,

"High school, 15 minutes. The truth will set us free."

- From who? - PATTY: An unknown number .

I can track it, but the message just came in

a few minutes ago.

- It could be the killer trying to get everyone together

to finish what they started.

- Renuf, meet us at the high school.

- Maybe we beat them all here.

- Unfortunately, I don’t think so.

ARCH: The music is coming through the PA system.

♪ When you were here before... ♪

RENUF: This is one of the songs on the CD

from Miss Collier’s playlist.

♪ Couldn’t look you in the eye ♪

♪

- Is this is some kind of trap?

FITZ: Renuf, call for backup.

- [voice on PA] It was a stupid prank!

You guys need to let this go!

- That’s Lucas’s voice.

♪

- You recorded Lucas and me last night?

Give me that phone!

AVRIL: No!

- Everyone!

Stay right where you are!

FITZ: What’s going on here, gang?

- Who wants to tell us why you’re all here?

- Don’t look for answers from them!

They’re cowards, the lot of them!

FITZ: Avril, I’m assuming you’re the one who texted them

to meet here tonight?

ARCH: We know what you all did to Miss Collier 30 years ago.

JACK: We don’t know what you’re talking about.

- No, we didn’t do anything.

- I told them it was Lucas.

- Look, we didn’t know what he was gonna do.

It was Lucas’s plan.

- That’s a lie! We all knew!

God, we even helped him!

- Avril!

- No, I am tired of staying quiet.

We have been quiet for too long.

- Avril, just-- just take it easy.

You, back! Back!

ARCH: Careful of the edge!

RENUF: Come on now, Avril.

Let’s not do anything we can’t take back.

- I have been living with something I can’t take back

for so long, Renuf.

RENUF: Okay, what you all did to Miss Collier

was horrible and wrong.

This will not undo it.

- We know there was antidepressants

in Lucas’s system,

and I’m betting there’s some in theirs too, right?

ARCH: So, what was your plan?

Bring everyone back together to do what?

Revenge?

- I wanted their guards down so that they’d confess,

admit to everybody what we did.

So that everyone could finally know the truth!

RENUF: Let’s talk it through, get it all out in the open.

- Okay, just... just start with

what happened to Lucas last night.

- I thought that if I used my antidepressants,

mixed them with alcohol,

I could convince Lucas to confess.

That’s why we were in the chem lab.

But Jack followed us.

He thought the invitation

was just another one of Lucas’s stupid pranks.

- You set this whole thing up, didn’t you?

AVRIL: So they fought.

All they cared about was how this would ruin their lives

if it came out!

They had no remorse at all for what we’d done!

[muffled Radiohead song still playing inside]

ARCH: That’s why you recorded them?

- I thought we could all finally come clean.

But it was clear I wasn’t gonna get them to confess.

- Lucas figured you out...

before you could leave?

AVRIL: I... I told him

that everyone was gonna know what we did.

- [Avril yells] - [glass shatters]

I was gonna tell the whole story.

And Lucas, he... he turned on me,

he attacked me, and so I just--

I grabbed the closest thing I could find

to defend myself!

AVRIL: He was so mad.

He threw me back in the closet and...

that’s all I remember.

- Let’s step back now, okay?

- You all may be able to live with the guilt of what we did,

but I can’t!

- No! - [screaming]

FITZ: Aah! ARCH: No!

♪

- The doctor says we should be hopeful.

- What’s the prognosis?

- Good news is no spinal injury.

Some broken bones, but their main concern

is, um, internal injuries.

He’s in surgery.

- When they went over the edge, uh, Renuf,

he managed to break Avril’s fall.

She’s gonna make it.

- With Avril’s testimony, the case for Miss Collier

can be reopened.

- Renuf will be happy to hear that when he wakes up.

MARCUS: Indeed.

Listen, you two have had a hell of a day.

Patty and I will take first watch,

until Renuf’s sister arrives in a couple hours.

- Keep us posted.

♪

- You know, you’re my friend

and I do value your take on people.

- Are we talking about Dr. Theo again?

- Can you please...

Can you please just call him Theo?

- Sure.

- And you do manage to see things the rest of us sometimes can’t,

so...

so, if you have a problem with him,

you can be straight with me.

- Okay, alright. When I first met him, I...

I didn’t like the guy.

I didn’t like his energy,

I didn’t like his know-it-all attitude,

his entire vibe was just... off.

- That’s honest.

- But I’m also aware that, um,

my read on him

could be just some... subconscious...

- Subconscious... what?

- I don’t know.

- [sighs] Okay, then.

- It’s just that...

it’s been a day...

and whatever I think of him, Theo,

is probably nonsense.

- Tried calling ya.

I heard about your colleague. Is he gonna be okay?

- Yeah, he’s, uh...

- We think he’s gonna be fine.

- Hi.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

- Okay.

♪

- Everything alright?

- Yeah, just a terrible day.

I’m exhausted.
