1
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,359
THE WALL

2
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,399
...is holding discussions with
counterparts from other provinces...

3
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,679
Hi, hone.

4
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,999
Uncle Leopold.

5
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,879
I’m making dinner,
just so you know.

6
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,359
You can have our old room.

7
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,159
Unless you prefer Veronique’s.

8
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,439
- Go and look. Nothing’s changed.
- Not right now.

9
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,199
I’ll get settled in first.

10
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,839
Yes.

11
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,039
Oh, Lord!

12
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,039
- Celine?
- Hi, Auntie.

13
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,999
- I thought we’d never see you again.
- Me too, but here I am.

14
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,239
It’s been almost 35 ears.

15
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,159
You never came back,
not even to see Leo old?

16
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:46,559
At first, my mother didn’t want me to.
After a time, it became awkward.

17
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,719
Uncle Leopold understood.
He’d visit me in Quebec Cit.

18
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:52,799
But now with his health...

19
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,399
Anyway, I’m glad to see you.

20
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,439
- Are you staying long?
- A few days. I have two weeks off.

21
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,279
You absolutely must come
by the house.

22
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,599
Emile would be so ha

23
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,119
You know, we’re living
in the bi Collins house now.

24
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,759
- You have to see it.
- I’ll come by.

25
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,959
I’m so happy to see you.

26
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,879
Not everyone here is.
I feel like a walking bad memory.

27
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,359
- You’re exaggerating.
- No doubt.

28
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,479
What’s taking her so long?

29
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,239
What’s that?

30
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,839
Honestly!

31
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,319
Take it easy.
It’s just a storm.

32
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,759
Easy...

33
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:06,999
- Hey!
- Hey, Uncle!

34
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,839
I saw a prowler an hour ago.
He’s back, so I’m after him.

35
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,919
- You took your time!
- It’s a village, I ran into people.

36
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,879
What would a thief
be doing in the barn?

37
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,999
Be careful of your heart.

38
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,039
Come and look.

39
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,279
You’d have to be a bloody monster.

40
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,239
Check the orchard.

41
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,399
- Celine...
- No. Wait for me here.

42
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,359
Leopold!

43
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,959
Hi, Alex. I’m at the hospital.
My uncle had a heart attack.

44
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,119
- Where are you?
- Approaching Magog.

45
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,239
I should be there in 20 minutes.

46
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,439
Are you sure
you’re right for this case?

47
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:10,999
Since I got to Homicide,
I’ve only had rookies’ cases.

48
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,239
I’m ready.
Skeletons don’t scare me.

49
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,759
- Are you scared of anything else?
- You mean you?

50
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,079
No, I’m actually pretty excited.

51
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,719
And I’ll have local help.

52
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,439
Johnny Leger, old time cop,
seems he knows the area inside out.

53
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,079
Yes, I know Johnny.
What’s up with Johnny?

54
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,959
He’s in his 50s and still a patrolman.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

55
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,279
Hey, look who’s here.

56
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,239
Big night last night?

57
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,039
Hi, Karen.

58
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,679
What have the nasty Jolicoeurs
done now, Johnny?

59
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,199
- I thought we’d been behaving.
- A Jolicoeur never behaves.

60
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,519
Same goes for their friends.

61
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,519
I’ll have a ham and cheese wrap.

62
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,559
Who’s that cute girl upstairs?

63
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:33,199
She’s a pilgrim. There’s no room
at the abbey, so she’s staying here.

64
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,759
She wants to be left alone.

65
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,279
Hey, Johnny!
Long time no see.

66
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,959
How’s it going, big guy?

67
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,399
What were you doing
at our place this morning?

68
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,839
Seeing if you remembered
one turkey is the autumn limit.

69
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,279
For sure, I remember.

70
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,879
- So what are you doing here?
- I can’t tell you. Not yet.

71
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,639
Johnny, you know
you can tell me, right?

72
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,399
- Old lady McNeil’s shed was robbed.

73
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,399
- What did they steal?
- She doesn’t know yet.

74
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,559
But she saw a girl come out
holding something.

75
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:32,719
I don’t know any girls dumb enough
to rob Susan McNeil in broad daylight.

76
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,439
- It was at night.
- Last night?

77
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,639
Remember a few years ago
your brother was drunk

78
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,359
and picked up a skunk
thinking it was a cat?

79
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,319
- Yeah.
- It sprayed his face.

80
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,159
He ran to the inn where Karen said
“You idiot, that’s a skunk.”

81
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,679
- I was there!
- All that to say that, at night...

82
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,319
if a skunk can look like a cat,
a guy can also look like a girl.

83
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,919
Yes.

84
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,199
Anyway,
old lady McNeil is half crazy.

85
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,559
But don’t take any chances.
Investigate the hell out of it, Johnny.

86
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:08,079
To serve and protect, right?

87
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,239
Jean Leger,
but they call me Johnny.

88
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,839
Alexandre Theberge.
You can call me Alex.

89
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,039
But around civilians, it’s Sergeant
or Detective-Sergeant, okay?

90
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,879
Okay, boss. Ready to go?

91
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,999
Let’s go.

92
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,159
This may sound crazy,

93
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,239
but for a second
I thought it was Vero in those roots.

94
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,799
It’s not Vero.

95
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,959
There’s a skeleton
under a fallen tree.

96
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,639
The woman who found it
is a homicide detective.

97
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,079
- She’ll be in your way.
- It should all be fine.

98
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,839
- I know Celine Trudeau.
- Yes, so I’ve heard.

99
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,439
Seems you knew her pretty well.

100
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,319
I think you should
mind your own business.

101
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,199
But Celine being here doesn’t mean
they should send me a rookie.

102
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,839
No offence,
but this case needs experience.

103
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,639
No offence, but they sent you to me,
not the other way around.

104
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,599
As for experience,
don’t you have enough for two?

105
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,639
That’s the first sensible thing
you’ve said...

106
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,799
Touch my coat again
and I guarantee you’ll regret it.

107
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,319
You’re not from here, Alex.
Around here there’s history, traditions.

108
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,999
There’s something different
in the air.

109
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,599
There are borders,
visible and invisible.

110
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,959
There are grudges dating back
five or six generations.

111
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,159
It looks like any old rural area,
but you’d be more at home on Mars.

112
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,519
You think so?

113
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,719
To start with, here Celine Trudeau
isn’t Celine Trudeau.

114
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,759
Around here, we don’t care
if it’s on your mum’s or dad’s side,

115
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,599
if you’re a Jolicoeur,
you’re a Jolicoeur.

116
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,599
You think you know Celine?

117
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,279
If you don’t know her from here,
you don’t know her.

118
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,519
I knew Celine.

119
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,519
But in another way and
from even closer up than you, I’ll bet.

120
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,959
- She just left the hospital.
- Who, Celine?

121
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,399
I have contacts. Hurry if you want
a head start before she arrives.

122
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,839
- He didn’t say anything else?
- He gave me the turkeys.

123
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,759
He said not to worry,
the hunt went well.

124
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,599
The police left,
and he took off on a quad.

125
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,879
Which way?

126
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,159
Same way as the police
or the other way?

127
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,439
The other way.

128
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,919
- He’d better hope it went well.
- What?

129
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,599
The hunt.

130
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:17,319
Susan!

131
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,319
- Susan!
- Back here.

132
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,279
You have so many
nice treasures here.

133
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,479
What did the thief take?

134
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,919
I don’t know... yet!

135
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,279
What do you care?

136
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,399
Only your type
working in the area, eh?

137
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,199
I’ve never robbed you.

138
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,079
That better be true.

139
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,479
If you’re unsure what’s gone,
it can’t be worth much.

140
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,839
You think she’ll come back?

141
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:04,999
I can feel it.

142
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,559
And I’ll be ready.

143
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,679
Oh fuck!

144
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,679
What was up there?

145
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,719
A body takes six months to two years
to completely decompose.

146
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,799
Do you want me
to do some research, boss?

147
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,839
Research.

148
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,479
Missing persons
from the last few years.

149
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,399
In the area or nearby.

150
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,239
Boss?

151
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,679
These apple trees are Reinette Russets
that must be 30 years old.

152
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:57,519
- They make damn good cider.
- You know your apples?

153
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,039
Yes, my grandpa used divining rods.
He knew how to choose his branches.

154
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,199
But this one’s a Wolf River.

155
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,239
The fruit is better for pies.

156
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,119
Should we pick a few apples?

157
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,759
After all, we’ll be here all day.

158
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,999
The Wolf River looks
70 to 80 years old.

159
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,239
Given the way the roots
wrap around the bones,

160
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,879
it was clearly planted
around the same time as the body.

161
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,759
So the murder would’ve been
committed at least 70 years ago.

162
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,359
Yes.

163
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,519
Another goddamn
bogus investigation.

164
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,759
I’ll spend a week in the archives
and get nowhere.

165
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,279
Hi, Celine.

166
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,279
Never mind the archives.
I think I know who it is.

167
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,919
The real questions are...

168
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:52,159
- What?
- Who dug it up and why?

169
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,239
Brother Isaac, wait for me.

170
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,719
While Father Gabriel gets to his seat,
we have time to talk.

171
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,879
Of course, Father. About what?

172
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,839
I’ve almost finished reading a new book
on St Augustine’s doctrine.

173
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,439
It should interest you.

174
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,119
These days, I’m less concerned
with doctrinal matters

175
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,439
than with finance and discipline.

176
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,039
Can I help lighten your burden?

177
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,799
I doubt it.

178
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,319
But if you could help me to...

179
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,919
I shouldn’t bother you
with this nonsense.

180
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:58,519
Father Gabriel!

181
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,519
I’m fine!
I just lost my balance.

182
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,519
I’ll call an ambulance.

183
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,999
- Are you all right, Father?
- Yes. Thanks, Mr Morency.

184
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,479
- Father Gabriel...
- Yes?

185
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,039
Let me help you.

186
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,999
All we know is
one autumn night in 1953,

187
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,479
my grandma left the house
for a walk.

188
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,639
No one ever saw her again.

189
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,799
She wore this ring in old photos.

190
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,799
Back then,
your family blamed the Morencys.

191
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,079
Why couldn’t it be them?
She didn’t bury herself.

192
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,759
This is weird.
Over there by the come-along.

193
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:47,999
It’s a survey marker.
It shows the edge of the property.

194
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,439
Those are like the prints
near the house last night.

195
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,079
Here’s another marker.
These haven’t been used since the ’50s.

196
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,359
That means when your grandma died,
if it is her...

197
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,879
she was buried on abbey grounds.

198
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,839
As a girl, I spent every summer here.
And as many weekends as possible.

199
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,079
Your uncle is
Leopold Jolicoeur, right?

200
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,039
It’s my mother’s name.

201
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,039
This used to be your grandma’s house?
I mean, when she disappeared.

202
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,039
- The skeleton’s over in the orchard.

203
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,519
Yes, but if you don’t mind,
start with the hen.

204
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,519
The hen?

205
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,239
You arrived yesterday.

206
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:58,039
Weird coincidence,
the tree toppling over the same day.

207
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,719
You said you hadn’t been here
in 30 years.

208
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,519
You arrive and a skeleton
just happens to turn up.

209
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,199
I never knew my grandma.
Surely it’s unrelated.

210
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,399
What about the hen?
It must be a message to someone.

211
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,359
Your uncle fired his gun.
Was it aimed at anyone?

212
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,959
He was upset, his heart’s weak.
He had a heart attack and the gun fired.

213
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,159
He told you that?
How else would I know?

214
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,199
Celine, as you know, the victim’s family
is often the last to know what happened.

215
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,999
They’re too close.
Not enough distance.

216
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:35,759
Alex, as you well know, I have
22 years’ experience as an inspector.

217
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,639
That makes 21 years and 6 months
more than you.

218
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,879
Okay, let’s get this straight.
Like it or not, I’m leading this.

219
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,519
You’re not used to it,
but you’ll answer my questions.

220
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,879
Bloody Jacques! He knew no one else
would dare talk to me like that.

221
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,079
More like no one else
would dare come here.

222
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,159
Okay.

223
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:06,439
No, I haven’t been here in ages.

224
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,559
But no one here
would want to intimidate me.

225
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,999
- What about your uncle?
- Him either.

226
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:15,959
When you went out shopping,
you’re sure the hen wasn’t in the yard?

227
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,799
I'm sure.

228
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,079
Look, I’ll show you my grandma.

229
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,799
Look.

230
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,439
Here.

231
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,479
Yes.

232
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,559
Looks like she could hold her own.
Guess it runs in the family.

233
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,479
Look at her ring.

234
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,039
- And the other ones?
- You’ll have to ask Leopold.

235
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,519
I believe she always wore them.
They’re in every photo.

236
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,679
You’ve never seen them?
Someone must’ve inherited them.

237
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,039
I’d have known.

238
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,239
So she was likely wearing them
when she disappeared.

239
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,159
- The killer stole the others.
- Why not this one?

240
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,879
I didn’t think of that.

241
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,799
You’re right, I’m too close.

242
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,599
It happened 70 years ago.
We might not figure it out either.

243
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,119
Excuse me,
but it’s going to rain.

244
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,519
That’s not good for the footprints.
And Forensics need a hand setting up.

245
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,359
I didn’t sleep last night.

246
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,639
I’m going to bed. If you need
anything here, make yourself at home.

247
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,399
What the hell did you do to her?

248
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,519
- To who?
- To Celine. Stop messing with me.

249
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,119
Not now.

250
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,959
Hey, Uncle.

251
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,919
What are you doing here?
Got something else stuck up your arse?

252
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,959
- I’m here to unplug you, old bastard.
- For what?

253
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,159
I hope you know
you’re not in my will.

254
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,199
- Go and get the nurse.
- I just talked to her.

255
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,159
She said to give her a break.

256
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,879
You won’t be discharged
till you see the cardiologist again.

257
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,959
Is it true the skeleton is your mum,
Marie-Therese?

258
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,519
That’s what Celine thinks.

259
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,959
- It doesn’t bother you?
- What?

260
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,439
- You’re getting on my nerves.
- They’re trying to mess with us.

261
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,919
- The Morencys, who do you think?

262
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,959
They’re rubbing it in our faces.
They came to our place.

263
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,559
My place.

264
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,559
Your place?

265
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,119
It belongs to the Jolicoeurs.
It’ll always be our place.

266
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,719
What you want makes no difference.

267
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,839
- What do you want, Simon?
- Respect, goddamn it!

268
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,679
That’s what I want.

269
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,519
If the Morencys won’t give us that,
damn right I’ll get it from them.

270
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,239
Kevin, we can’t just do nothing
about the Morencys.

271
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,239
They’re laughing in our faces.

272
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,119
We’ll find out more,
and then get ready.

273
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,439
You might think
that’s doing nothing...

274
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,399
It is doing nothing!

275
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,039
- Why would they do this?
- Who cares? They did it!

276
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,359
It’s not just to provoke us,
but distract us.

277
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,719
- From what?
- I’m trying to understand.

278
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,199
Screw that, Kev,
we have to take action!

279
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,119
A-C-T-l-O-N, Kevin.

280
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,479
Simon, let me think about it.
I’ll call you back.

281
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,599
- How do we tell your mother?
- We won’t. She’ll find out anyway.

282
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,079
She ran into Celine
yesterday in the village.

283
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,319
My cousin Celine?

284
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,479
She’s staying at Leopold’s.

285
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,399
- She can’t have dug up the skeleton.

286
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,239
But something’s going on.

287
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,799
The Morencys?

288
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,079
Maybe.

289
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,919
Damien’s been hanging around
the abbey.

290
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,159
He’s not hanging around the abbey.

291
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,319
- He’s hanging around the abbot.
- Father Sebastien?

292
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,479
I see.

293
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,079
The rain washed away most of
the boot prints, but you never know.

294
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,079
Yes...

295
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,319
We’ll see where it leads.

296
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,199
There might be clearer prints
in the woods.

297
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,639
- So what’s the story?
- It’s a long story.

298
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,639
- I’m curious why Celine loathes you.
- You don’t let up.

299
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,599
- Do you want the short version?

300
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,639
- Fuck you. I know guys like you.

301
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,439
You want instant info,
but understand nothing.

302
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,879
Around here,
it’s not just one story.

303
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,679
There are 1000 stories
about 100 families,

304
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,279
but three are key to understanding
the smallest event.

305
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,799
Among those three families’ stories,
one’s worse than the others.

306
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,559
Can I help you?

307
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,039
You’re on abbey grounds.
You’re not supposed to be here.

308
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,879
Detective Sergeant Alexandre Theberge,
Quebec Police.

309
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,839
What are you doing here?
Strange place to hoe, in the woods.

310
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,279
Someone stole my shovel.

311
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,839
I saw footprints and thought
I might find it. Have you seen it?

312
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,959
It’s a shovel just like this.
Except new.

313
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,599
It was in here.

314
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,439
- When did you finish work yesterday?
- 3:30 p.m. But I start early.

315
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,759
- Is the shed ever locked?
- No.

316
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,599
- Did you go straight home?
- Yes.

317
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,879
- How many monks live here?
- 33.

318
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,279
32.

319
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,519
Father Henri died last month.

320
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,279
Most of them are too old
to lift a shovel.

321
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,359
- Let alone uproot a tree.
- Okay. How many people work here?

322
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,759
About 20.

323
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,439
- About 20?
- Yes.

324
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,199
With the lodgings,
gardens, volunteers...

325
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,479
- No security cameras?
- Never!

326
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,079
So anyone from outside
could rummage through the shed.

327
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,119
What’s going on?

328
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,199
- All this because of my shovel?
- Yes, all this because of your shovel.

329
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,119
- May I talk to the monks?
- Not now, it’s Sext.

330
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,879
- Sext?
- There are seven daily offices.

331
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,399
Matins, Lauds, Prime, Sext,

332
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,759
Nones, Vespers and Compline.

333
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,359
Sext is the noon office.

334
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,799
Aren’t you hungry?

335
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,519
You said there were three families
who ran things here.

336
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,759
- The Jolicoeurs and who else?
- You always go too fast.

337
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,439
Just give me
the big picture to start with.

338
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,159
Okay, so basically,

339
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,159
the Jolicoeurs made their name
in the ’20s and ’30s during Prohibition.

340
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,439
We’re near the American border.
Alcohol smuggling?

341
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,799
That was in Marie-Therese’s time?

342
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,559
When her husband died,
she had to feed her children.

343
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,519
She was resourceful so...

344
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,959
She ran the business.

345
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,559
- And business was good.
- But she died.

346
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:18,279
She disappeared.
We just found her.

347
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,799
Anyway, same difference.
With her gone...

348
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,799
- Another family took over?
- The Morencys.

349
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,399
Petty crooks back then.

350
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,479
When the Jolicoeurs lost their leader,
the Morencys leapt in.

351
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,039
The Jolicoeurs didn’t back down...

352
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,519
Rivalry started and they’ve
been scheming ever since?

353
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,879
Yes. In a nutshell.

354
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,559
- Who’s the third family?
- The Collins. Local bluebloods.

355
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,319
Descendants of the Royalists
who opposed the Americans in 1775.

356
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,639
Big, old money
that gradually dwindled away.

357
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,759
In the mid-’80s,
Colonel Collins was so in debt

358
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,159
he had to agree
to his daughter marrying a Jolicoeur.

359
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,439
Kevin, Celine’s cousin.

360
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,239
The Collins name and reputation,

361
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,519
combined with
the Jolicoeur guts and resources,

362
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,799
helped them get re-established.

363
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,679
Thanks.

364
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,879
But not all Jolicoeurs benefited
from the alliance with the Collins.

365
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,479
There are black sheep.

366
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:22,279
What’s the horrible story?

367
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,199
Veronique Jolicoeur.
Celine’s cousin and best friend.

368
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,199
What did Veronique do?

369
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,959
- And what’s it to do with you?
- Me?

370
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,799
That can’t be why
Celine can’t stand you.

371
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,159
It’s nasty business.
Nasty as it comes.

372
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,879
This is the voicemail
of Jacques Larocque,

373
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,599
chief of the Homicide Division.

374
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,039
Please leave your message
after the tone.

375
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,439
Seriously, Jacques?

376
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,479
Alex I can understand,
but Johnny Leger?

377
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,239
- What time did you last see her?
- I already told you.

378
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,479
- Had you been drinking?
- Yes.

379
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,919
- But not that much.
- Which way did you go?

380
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,439
Because “near the river”
isn’t specific enough.

381
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,679
Was anyone else with you?

382
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,079
- Don’t you want to find your cousin?
- We won’t find her.

383
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,279
At least not alive.

384
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:01,479
- And you know it.
- What, me?

385
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,159
- I’m trying to find her!
- She’s dead!

386
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:11,439
- Okay, how do you know that?
- I just do. You wouldn’t understand.

387
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,719
Did you see her die
or do you claim to be psychic?

388
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,119
- Who killed her?
- You killed her.

389
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:22,319
Okay, stop screwing around.
Seriously, you’re on camera.

390
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,239
- Are you scared?
- Scared of what?

391
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,799
- We’re wasting time.
- You killed her.

392
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,919
You and the other guys who drooled
over her and just wanted to screw her.

393
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,399
You all killed her!

394
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,519
I don’t know what to do.
She’s fucking crazy!

395
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,759
You know what
I’m going to ask, Jacques.

396
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,759
I want you to reopen
Veronique Jolicoeur’s murder case.

397
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,119
