Original subtitles

You didn't have to do that.

Well, couldn't sleep.

Still adjusting to the new place?

Getting used to it.

We waiting on our snowmobile thief?

Wanna keep me company?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's her.

Anyways, I still have like another week before it's due.

I'm sure it'll be great.

Hey, look, uh, I have to go.

Wait, no, no, no, I wanna see your place.

I'm still, uh, rearranging.

Isn't it furnished?

It is, just not to my taste.

We'll talk soon, eh?

Okay, yeah.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

Detective Lise Delorme.

Yeah.

Uh, yes, no, now is a good time.

I'll just go outside. Just a second.

Yeah, I can come down sometime in the next week or so.

Yeah, I'll email you.

Yeah, thank you, bye.

I was just coming to find you.

I got a call from Jerry Commanda

about a possible missing person,

our jurisdiction.

You ever work with a prosecutor Robert Quillen?

Uh, just crossed paths with him.

He's married to that politician, our MPP?

Sheila Gagne.

She's the one who called. Robert's the missing person.

I'll tell you later.

Sheila called me first,

but I know this is your territory.

I'm just here as a courtesy to a friend.

Detective Lise Delorme,

Detective John Cardinal,

Sheila Gagne.

Thank you for coming, detectives.

Did Jerry tell you-

I didn't tell them anything other than that

you were worried about Robert.

So how we can help, Ms. Gagne?

My husband, Robert Quillen, he's a-

He's a crown prosecutor.

I know Robert. We've worked a few cases together.

I believe he's mentioned you.

I, uh, I gotta go make a couple of phone calls.

I'll let you catch them up.

Thanks.

So you believe he might be missing?

He hasn't been home,

he hasn't called or texted.

No one's seen him.

Given his job and mine...

Have either of you received any serious threats?

Both of our offices receive threats every day.

Sometimes it's hard to tell which ones are serious.

Yeah, I understand that,

um, but there could be any number of reasons

why Robert didn't come home,

so we just need to know if you have

any special cause for concern.

Robert had a hearing this morning and he didn't show up.

That hasn't happened in his career, not once.

When's the last you've seen him?

Yesterday morning and I-

I know that it hasn't been very long.

So he didn't come back home at all?

No, but I-I wasn't expecting him until later.

Because?

He had a date.

What kind of date?

We have an open marriage.

Okay.

Is it possible, Ms. Gagne,

that he just decided to extend the date?

No, we have rules.

He comes home.

If something came up, he would call.

Does Robert drink or do drugs of any kind?

He drinks in moderation.

No drugs.

Any history of mental illness?

Are you asking about him or me?

I'm just asking for anything you think might be relevant.

He has no history of mental illness.

I take medication for anxiety, but that is not what this is.

There are people around here

that don't like the job that I'm doing,

and some of them just don't like me.

And Robert prosecutes the worst kinds of abusers, murderers.

So maybe it's nothing serious,

but I would really like to know where my husband has gone.

Okay.

Robert only booked one night,

hasn't checked out.

Anyone else been in the room?

Not yet.

Robert Quillen?

Police. Open up.

Mr. Quillen.

We're coming in.

Robert Quillen?

His clothes are here.

His keys, wallet, phone, a feather.

Where does he go on a freezing night without his clothes?

His boots are by the door.

I think he was dragged outta here.

What?

It's a hotel room,

so it will have trace evidence from multiple sources.

How many depends on the enthusiasm of the cleaning staff.

Anything suspicious, Abby?

Any blood, we'll let you know as soon as we can.

Hey.

Yeah?

We have an ID on his date.

Credit card receipt from the Robinette named Holly Francis.

Okay.

Do we have any video out here?

No cameras except front desk.

So we have Robert's check-in,

nothing else after 11:00 p.m.

So nobody saw a naked man being taken in the night?

We've spoken to all the guests.

Tire tracks back in there.

It's 20 feet from the room to the trunk.

That's where you'd put the car

if you wanted to abduct somebody.

Ms. Francis?

Yes?

I'm Detective Cardinal, we spoke on the phone.

This is Detective Delorme, I-

I thought we talked about coming out to see you.

Ah, I thought it was better you didn't come to the house.

Have you found Robert?

I'm afraid not.

Do you want to sit?

Please.

Do you have any reason to believe

something's happened to Robert?

No, I just, and I-

I mean I am worried about him I just-

I'm upset because Robert has one kind of marriage,

and my situation is, it's different.

We,

we believe Robert was abducted from your hotel room

at some point last night.

Abducted?

You said on the phone that you and Robert took a car

from the Robinette to the hotel?

Yeah, that's correct.

You two had sex there.

You left Robert, uh, around 1:30 a.m.

and he was in the shower at the time?

Yes.

Did you notice anyone watching you,

anyone following your car?

No.

Did he mention any problems at work,

or in his marriage?

No, Robert doesn't talk about his marriage.

So he never proposed leaving his wife for you,

for example.

No.

It, it wasn't like that.

Ms. Francis, what can you tell us about a feather

that we found on a dresser in the room?

- A feather? - Mm.

I never saw one there.

Did Robert have a bag with him?

Any extra clothing?

No, just his coat,

not-not even a briefcase.

I'm sorry, uh,

I'm afraid we'll have to have another detective

take your statement.

Yeah?

Do you wanna tell them what you told me?

A man called, he said he knew who'd taken Robert.

He used that word, "Taken."

He said they were gonna hurt him.

He'd tell me who for a price, $9,000 cash.

Did he say anything else?

I was scared, I got him the money.

He said to take it to the closed down shopping mall.

Pine Point?

Did you see anyone there?

Anyone watching nearby?

I left the money in a recycling bin like he asked

and drove around the block and waited where he said,

but he never showed up.

I told her it was a bad idea.

She should have called you first.

- Yeah. - But I wasn't stupid.

I put the money in an old purse

and I hid my phone in one of the pockets.

That was risky.

I had to do something.

Yeah, we'll track him with the phone.

Janelle, get out of there!

I'm not finished my bath.

Janelle.

I'm leaving right now!

Bye then, Wade.

Oh, yeah.

The cell phone signal's up ahead.

Truck on the move.

Hands on the steering wheel, sir.

What's the problem here, you guys?

I'm late for work.

Looking for someone?

What's this clown doing, checking his Facebook?

Do you mind if we have a look in your truck?

Yeah.

Care to explain

why you have Sheila Gagne's phone in your vehicle, sir?

I don't know, someone said I should-

Get out of the car, now.

Sir! Right now.

- Get out of the car. - All right.

Up against the truck.

Anything I need to worry about in your pockets?

No.

- Needles? - No.

Green pickup, license plate-

- Wade Kleiss. - Mhm.

You live here?

Girlfriend does.

Where's Robert Quillen?

Don't know who that is.

You told his wife that you did.

And you told her somebody was gonna hurt him.

Nope, no way I'd get involved with nothing like that.

Where is he?

All right, fine, I want protection, a deal,

and I don't do nothing without my legal counsel-

We're not making a deal with you.

Well, then,

that lawyer's gonna die.

Get in back.

Put him in interrogation.

No stops.

Understood.

His lawyer's on her way,

so nobody questions him without her there.

We'll keep searching the house.

I'll be right behind you.

Money in Sheila's handbag

was more than twice what she gave him.

The other bag was, uh, clothing and drugs.

He was making a run for it.

Weapons, bribery, assault convictions.

He was paroled six months ago.

He's trying to hide it,

but he's scared of someone.

207, suspect in custody.

In transport to station.

Let's go, Mr. Kleiss.

You gotta get me outta here.

You remember I spoke to my old colleague in Toronto?

You got the job?

That's great.

When do you go?

I'm still working that out.

You'll do great down there, Lise.

Cardinal!

Shit.

Kleiss is dead.

Ash.

Is Kular okay?

What happened to you?

- What happened? - Someone jumped me.

Something's happened?

The man who tried to extort you is dead.

He was murdered.

You said he was with the police.

How can that happen?

Somebody was waiting for them.

He was the only one who knew anything about Robert.

I thought you trusted these people?

They couldn't have seen this coming.

So what are we supposed to do now?

It's a private number.

How much do you love your husband?

What?

I need you to prove it.

Prove it and I'll let you see him again.

How am I supposed to do that?

I don't even know who you are.

You know who I am, Sheila.

I didn't see him coming.

I went for the door,

then I couldn't breathe from the pain.

I should have swept the lot

before I took the suspect out of the car.

It wasn't your fault.

Did you hear him say anything?

No, he didn't say a word.

But Wade Kleiss, he-

he said-he said something like,

he was like,

"Get me outta here."

They knew each other.

It sounded like it to me.

Lise?

He chose a prime spot to wait.

He had to know they were coming.

Maybe a police scanner.

You watch, he never turns his face to the camera.

He clocked all the cameras,

planned out his path like a pro.

Maybe Wade Kleiss

was this guy's partner in kidnapping Robert,

but then he got hungry for some extra money,

he went to shake down Sheila,

offered to sell his partner out.

So the partner comes gunning for Wade,

kills him before he can talk.

Woulda killed Kular too,

except he didn't want the heat for doing a cop.

He's rational.

So if he's got Robert,

why hasn't he contacted us?

There's been no ransom demand.

What does he want?

Guys, Sheila Gagne's here.

Ms. Gagne?

I wanna hold a press conference.

Maybe we should talk about that.

There's nothing to talk about, I'm just letting you know.

Are you in charge here?

Ms. Gagne?

How can I help you?

Jerry?

She got an anonymous call.

Well that doesn't mean it's from the kidnapper.

Well, even if it is,

we can't let him call the shots.

I think it's a mistake.

Maybe, but it's hers to make.

I just spoke to my superintendent,

Sheila wants OPD working this, too.

She wants you to take over the case?

We'll be working with you.

Yeah.

I told Sheila that you can handle this,

but she wants me involved.

She trusts me.

Are you gonna talk me out of it?

I can't stop you.

Ms. Gagne, you're gonna do what you're gonna do.

But I want you to know, we're here to help.

Those two detectives out there?

They are my very best.

Well, I'm very sorry to hear that.

This person who called you,

who said that he knew you,

do you have any idea who it is?

No.

But you're convinced

that he's the one who abducted your husband?

I don't know what else to do.

Ms. Gagne,

I have nothing but respect

for the work that you do for this community,

and all of us care about your husband,

all of us want to find him.

I know.

And now we've got a witness murdered in our custody,

and one of my officers has been attacked.

I promise you, I'm gonna throw everything I've got at this.

Work with my detectives.

I'm asking you to trust them the way that I do.

I'll try, Sergeant Dyson.

Thank you. I'll see you in the conference room.

Robert is a good man,

truly the best man I have ever known.

He's served his community for 20 years

trying to keep it safe for all of us.

If you're angry about something that he did,

or something that I did,

please believe me that we will try to make it right.

But for me to do that, we need to talk.

You wanted me to prove something, well, here I am.

Now please, please let me have Robert back.

You wanted me to prove something, well, here I am.

Now please, please let me have Robert back.

You did well.

So now what?

We keep looking.

We hope that whoever has Robert reaches out.

I almost asked him not to go out.

I had a bad day, wanted him to stay home.

I just keep thinking about that.

I'll be posting a unit outside the house.

I'll be out here until he arrives.

Thank you, Jerry.

Please don't leave me here!

Don't leave me!

Don't!

Tell me what to do!

Please, tell me what to do!

Don't leave me here!

Please!

No, no, no!

Please don't leave me here.

No!

Don't!

No!

Please don't leave me here!

There's got to be something

that connects Quillen to Wade Kleiss.

Well, Robert didn't try any of Wade's cases,

and we haven't found anything

connecting Wade to Sheila.

I'll meet you there in a few hours.

Yeah.

What I,

what I should have said,

uh, earlier...

Do you want to come inside?

Yeah.

Don't leave me here!

Please don't leave me here!

No, don't!

No!

No!

Please!

Please don't leave me here!

Don't leave me!

Don't!

Tell me what to do!

Please!

The cell phone provider said it's a prepaid phone

last pinged off the North Slope Tower

when the email was sent.

No usage since.

Given how careful this guy's been,

he's likely disposed of it already.

Can we get anything from the email address he used,

like where he logged in from before?

It'll take time, and even then,

I'm guessing he's ahead of us.

According to the metadata,

the video was shot at 3:00 a.m. yesterday morning.

Yeah.

No clothing labels

or any other distinguishing features visible.

Those lines coming off his legs?

It's some kind of wire rope or cable.

He's anchored to the log behind him.

It's been what, over 24 hours now?

Even with those warm clothes,

there's no way he's lasting that long.

That winter gear isn't his.

Whoever took Robert dressed him up to keep him warm.

We better hope that means they don't want him dead.

This is a high profile victim.

It could be staged,

a ploy to get more ransom.

But they still haven't asked for anything.

Those stumps behind him.

I don't see any, uh, trees around, either.

You think it's a logging site?

Could be.

Let's get on the phone

and find out how many of those we've got around here.

Look for tracks leading away from the main trail

heading towards the clear cut.

Yes.

Whenever you have the chance,

shut the machines off, call for Robert,

and listen for an answer.

Okay, let's go!

That thing have infrared?

But you guys got all the toys.

But we can't get the helicopter up here until tomorrow.

Yeah.

So what do you think?

Is it about killing Robert,

or about getting something he wants?

Maybe killing Robert gets them what they want.

He told Sheila, if she proved she loved him,

she'd see Robert again.

And he kept his promise by sending the video.

This is not somebody who wants to negotiate.

It's somebody who wants people to hurt.

Any luck with the search?

Not yet.

There was almost $20,000 cash

in Wade Kleiss's vehicle,

but he got less than half that from Sheila.

So, I went back to talk to the girlfriend.

Does she know where it came from?

She said, "Wade did something for a guy he knew from prison."

didn't know what, but what she said makes sense

if Wade was a paid accomplice in Robert Quillen's abduction.

So if this guy paid Wade to help him abduct Robert,

Wade got greedy and put this guy at risk.

That's motive for killing Wade.

Yeah.

What's the motive for Robert?

So?

He's over there.

Any tracks the killer might have left

are mostly snowed over in the wind.

I, uh-

I gotta go tell Sheila before somebody else tells her.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Jerry.

Robert was able to drag the log this far,

he probably thought he would get somewhere,

'til he realized he wouldn't.

His clothes scattered like this.

Late stage hypothermia.

You'd get hot, strip off the clothing.

But I don't understand.

Why dress him in warm clothes

before leaving him to freeze to death?

They wanted Robert to suffer.

That would do it.

And why did he call Sheila

if she knew she had no chance to save her husband?

He was toying with her.

Wade Kleiss was business, this is-

this is personal.

He never could have made it to the road with that weight.

No one could.

No.

But the killer wanted him to think he could.

One final cruelty.

I'm sorry.

All units be advised,

1045 off county line 27,

roadblocks in effect.

Diverting traffic down 191.

I can get you money!

Just tell me what you want!

Why are you doing this to me?!

I'm not.

Please don't leave me here!

Don't leave me here!

Please, don't leave me here!

Don't leave me here!

Are you ready to head back?

I think I'll stay until Ident's done.

I'll catch a ride with McLeod.

Are you okay?

Yeah.
