All language subtitles for The Detectives - 02x01 - The Walk Home (English)

Nothing like this had happened
in Barrhaven ever before.

Can I have a drag?

Barrhaven was pretty quiet.
A bedroom community,

not so far from the city of Ottawa.

You wanna get some pizza or something?

I don't know. I'm pretty tired.

God, I hate that guy.

To think that somebody was
right in the heart of Barrhaven

and did this kind of thing? It
really shocked that community.

Have a safe walk home.

To see what a human being
can do to another human being

with your own two eyes.

It's disgusting.

Hey!

You... you left work really fast.

Oh, yeah. I... I don't like
waiting around at night.

Oh. You don't have to walk home alone.

You don't have to walk me home.

I could use the company.

An eighteen-year-old innocent girl

that happens to wind up in
the path of a predatory maniac.

This was just emotionally devastating.

I'll never forget it.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I got a phone call that we
have a young woman missing

from Barrhaven.

Jennifer Teague was exactly
the kind of person that went

to work, socialized with
her friends, went home,

went to school the next day.

Jennifer's cell phone
had been turned off.

We know there's been
no banking activity.

I thought this is not gonna be
a runaway or somebody that

slept over at a friend's house
and just forgot to call home.

Eighteen-year-old Jennifer
Teague disappeared

September 8th. She'd worked the
late shift at this fast food

restaurant in Barrhaven.

Jennifer Teague met some
friends at a nearby

convenience store in Barrhaven.
Shortly after 1 a.m.,

she said good-bye to her
friends and set off

for the ten-minute walk home.
She never arrived.

She was just such a nice girl that...

I don't see how someone
would want to hurt her.

I had a very bad feeling
right from the start that

this was not gonna be a good outcome.

We were handling it as
a homicide investigation.

We were gonna hit the ground
at 100 miles an hour.

We parked the command post
in the church parking lot.

There was a helicopter
landing in the baseball field.

We have two teams. We have
detectives that are out

in the field interviewing people,

following up on tips. And we
have an intensive ground search.

We need to start from the beginning:

Square one. Revisit all our
witnesses, all our information.

We have two major suspects.

Initially, it looked fairly promising.

So let's bring in all our witnesses.
Polygraphs if we have to.

Starting with Mark Corman.

Jennifer's co-worker. He walked her
part of the way home that night.

Supposedly he had a thing for her.

Yeah, she didn't feel the same way.

And he had these scratches on his face.

Said he got them shaving.

When we first saw him, and
with our own two eyes

and we see all the scratches,
you know, all of us kinda looked

at each other and said
"Holy cow! Look at this guy

with all the scratches
all over his neck."

You still having razor problems?

Did you shave that day?
The day Jennifer disappeared?

I... I don't... I don't know.
I can't remember.

I thought you'd want
to look nice for her.

Why? What do you mean?

It means you had a little bit
of a thing for her, didn't you?

No, no! No, I didn't.

She was a nice girl.

But I wasn't trying to date her;
I was just walking her home.

Except you didn't.

Good night.

I thought you lived down that way.

Yeah, I do; I just, I thought
it's pretty late out, so...

I'm good. I'm meeting a
couple friends... so, yeah.

Right.

See you tomorrow?

Yeah.

- Goodnight.
- Bye.

So I went home.

You willing to take a polygraph
to show me that's true?

He took a polygraph. He
had no issues with the polygraph.

He seemed like a very honest young man.

I mean, he was very embarrassed about
looking like this with the scratches.

He voluntarily gave us the razor
so that we could check it out.

He was eliminated fairly quickly.

Boris Cerny drove past
Jennifer and Alicia

when they were at Mac's Milk.

I hate that guy.

I checked with some kids
at his high school

and he has a history
of stalking problems.

And Alicia remembered that
Jennifer flipped him off

that night. He didn't
seem too happy about it.

So Boris, he was just a very
deceptive-by-nature person.

Paranoid, suspicious, which made
our job much more challenging.

Not a lot of people have nice
things to say about you, Boris.

Certainly not the girls at school.

They're all stuck up.

Does that make you mad?

I don't get mad.

Why'd your ex get a restraining
order against you?

Jennifer didn't seem too
fond of you, either.

She gave you the finger that night.

Didn't see it. I went to
go get a pack of smokes.

After Jennifer disappeared,
you had a broken window

on your car. Care to explain that?

I must've slammed the door hard.

Wouldn't have something to do
with a struggle now, would it?

Someone trying to get out of your car?

I didn't do anything! I told you!

I thought you didn't get mad.

I didn't touch Jennifer.

Then take a polygraph to prove it.

Fine.

Good.

Boris was very defensive,
but his polygraph results showed us

he's not the person that's responsible.

We have no suspects.

We've searched pretty much every
square millimetre of the ground.

And we have nothing.

Once you start getting into
the third day, the fourth day,

the sixth day, it becomes
less and less likely

we would find Jennifer alive.

Jennifer's mother had to face the truth.

We searched every inch
within three kilometres.

A hundred and twenty
officers, plus volunteers.

We can't keep that up forever.
But we're not giving up.

You know, I have seven Major
Crimes detectives on my team.

Seven? From a hundred
and twenty to seven?

These are experienced detectives.

They've solved a lot of cases.

Major Crimes. What's that?

Is that...

Is that murder?

Oh, my God!

That was a monstrous blow to Jean.

Six days have gone by;

we have no sign of
Jennifer at this point.

We have to stop the ground search.

To keep going with the
massive amount of resources

that it required wouldn't
have made any sense.

With this smaller team, I
don't know how we're going

- to keep up.
- It's all right.

- We'll figure it out.
- Yeah.

Detective Brown? Jennifer's
father is here with his wife.

For you, sir.

Thanks, Hodgins.

Ed Teague is Jennifer's dad.

Ed is remarried to a lady named Sylvie.

They were very, very devout Christians.

Good afternoon, Greg.

I understand you've
called off the search.

Yes. It wasn't my call,

but we'd reached the
limit of our resources.

I understand.

We're not giving up.
It just means that we're...

You're changing your focus.
I get it, Greg.

We knew this day would come.

It's all in God's hands now.
We're praying to His help.

I can't imagine what
you're going through, Ed.

I know you and Jennifer were close.

More than you could ever know.

We're prepared to do whatever
it takes to find her.

You have to strike a fine balance here.

There are family members
that are impacted

by the disappearance of Jennifer,

but we can't dismiss them as suspects

until they've been investigated.

I've been meaning to ask you

about the night Jennifer disappeared.

You said you went to a
baby shower around 7.

That's right. At the church.

What time did you leave the house?

Around 6.

And that was the church
in Brockville, right?

Yes.

See, here's the thing... I
stopped by there the other day.

It's only a few kilometres
from your house.

Fifteen-minute drive, tops.
Do you remember

why you left your house an hour early?

When it was such a short drive?

Well, we had to buy a gift.

I mean, we'd put it off, so we
picked up something on the way

from their registry.

Well, thanks for clearing
that up for me.

Listen, if I have anything
else, I'll be in touch.

And if you can think of
anything, please let me know.

Looking into their histories,

their whereabouts when this happened,

I didn't have any concern

that the family was involved.

Ten days after Jennifer disappeared,

an off-duty Ottawa officer was
out on the Lime Kiln Trail.

He smells a fairly distinctive smell

that most police officers
unfortunately become

very attuned to.

You're sort of hoping against
hope that she's gonna be found.

But what you knew was gonna
be the outcome is now real.

Let's get to work.

Re-interview. Revisit. Retrace.

I don't want to miss anything!

Detective Brown.

Where is she?

Yeah.

This beautiful young
woman wasn't going to be

going home to her family.

When we got the call that
they had found a body,

I knew it was Jennifer right away.

I went there to confirm the worst.

I want you to set up a tent
down there. Near the path.

But the body's down here.

I know. I know.

I don't want the media knowing
the location of the body.

We resisted disclosing
any kind of information

about the location of the body,
the state of the body,

the position of the body,

whether the body was clothed, unclothed,

any of those kind of things.
That was all holdback.

The more pieces of information
that only can be known

to the killer become
crucial in a confession.

Jennifer was face down in
a swampy, isolated area.

Her body was badly decomposed.

I cried. That was the first thing I did.

It's tough. Very, very tough.

But OK, like,

let's redouble our efforts
and really get to work here.

We're near the parking lot.

So whoever brought her
here probably drove.

It's also secluded.

So I'll bet uh, whoever
did this knew the area.

They knew this was a good
place to dump a body.

If you find anything, you
keep it confidential. Right?

- Need to know only. OK?
- Got it.

Hey! I found something.

I have a vivid recollection of going

to Jean's house the next day.

No!

No! No!

No!

Jennifer was a huge part of her life

and so to have Jennifer
snatched away from Jean

really impacted on me, seeing the pain.

I really wanted to solve it for her.

I think a lot about her.

No. It can't be her.

I want to see the body.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Nonsense! If that really is Jennifer,

I have every right to see my daughter.

She was found naked in the woods.

The rain and the weather
left her in a state

of deep decomposition.

There's no way to visually identify her.

I'm sorry, Ed.

I think that was probably
one of the hardest things

I've had to do in 33 years on the job.

Nothing. Forensics found nothing

at the crime scene,
other than the earring.

Right? Not a single piece of clothing.

No blood. No hair, no fibers.

How about a cause of death?

Cause of death? The
decomposition was so bad,

they couldn't even
determine a time of death.

We have no suspects.
We have no forensics.

And people were very, very worried.

Jennifer's case was very similar

to another case we had in the area.

Ardeth Wood was a young
woman who disappeared

a few months earlier in
the east end of Ottawa.

Like in Jennifer's case,
after an extensive search,

we did find Ardeth's body. But
her killer was still out there.

We have to consider the possibility that

Ardeth Wood's murder is
connected to this case.

Both young blonde females.
Both abducted late at night.

Ottawa doesn't have these
cases every week or every year

or every decade. So we have
two within a couple of months?

People are absolutely terrified.

I think that everybody's a lot
more nervous now, especially

with that whole Ardeth Wood
thing and now this.

I think everyone's just
gonna be a lot more careful.

Investigators may refuse to
admit the trail has gone cold.

But what is obvious is
that after launching

one of the most intensive
and expensive investigations

in the city's history,

Ottawa police have made
very little progress.

So there was pressure.

Pressure from the community,
pressure from the media.

There was a lot of discussion
in the community

about safeguarding your children.

The public was very scared.

So we're canvassing police
agencies across Canada,

the United States. We're
looking at people

on the sex offender registry in
and around the Barrhaven area.

At this juncture, we're thinking
possible serial killer.

When Jennifer's body was discovered,

Ardeth Wood's case hadn't
been solved to that point.

A lot of us, at this juncture
in the investigation,

are thinking this is a
potential serial killer.

Police found these sunglasses near

Ardeth Wood's body. They
may belong to her killer.

Investigators believe he's a white male,

early twenties to thirties,
about six feet.

With a muscular build and
a tattoo that looks like this.

I got some news. Ardeth Wood.

They've made an arrest.
Some guy, Chris Myers.

They've got him down at
the station. This could be it.

When that came to our attention,

we had a momentary sense of

"Boy, that could be our guy too."

Which very quickly disappeared.

I need the exact dates.

You sure?

OK. Thanks.

More bad luck. Chris
Myers was not in Barrhaven

at the time of the murder.

Jennifer's killer was still out there.

The announcement of an arrest

in the Ardeth Wood murder
ends speculation

that the same person may have
also been responsible

for Teague's death.

The man charged in Wood's murdr
was in North Bay

when Teague disappeared.

He obviously has
no connection with what happened

with Jennifer Teague, so I'm sure

that uh, people living in Barrhaven

and living in
the western part of the city

will still be waiting
for that investigation

to run the same course as this one has.

It was incredibly frustrating.

Essentially, we had
to go back to square one.

I'm releasing the surveillance
footage from Mac's Milk.

We still haven't identified
everyone from that night.

The public can help.

We have video from
inside the Mac's Milk.

We have quite a number
of the customers depicted

on the video accounted for.
They've been interviewed.

But some people hadn't come forward.

That's not going to be a problem?

Posting faces and video
on the web connected

to a murder investigation?
These are innocent people.

We're gonna get our asses sued!

Weighing a person's privacy
interest from being

in a Mac's Milk at
one o'clock in the morning

versus the objective of trying
to solve a serious homicide,

to me that was a no-brainer.

The photos show 24 people

the police want to talk to.

They were snapped by
a surveillance camera

at this Barrhaven Mac's Milk.

They are customers of
Mac's Milk who were there

the night Jennifer disappeared,
who may have information

that could be crucial
to the investigation.

Tactically, that was a good strategy.

That generated a composite
sketch which then generated

a press conference where
the sketch was brought out.

We've received over
1,000 tips from the public

and we've followed up
with almost 800 of them.

But we're counting on you.

Keep the information coming in.

The case was rediscussed;

the media took another interest in it.

Suddenly everybody again
was talking about

the Jennifer Teague murder case.

We wanted to create the
impression in the killer's mind

that the police were homing in.

And it worked.

I killed Jennifer Teague!

Come!

We just picked up a confession.

- Where?
- Fallowfield Road.

- Where is he now?
- Hospital.

- No use. We can't talk to him.
- Of course, we can!

We can't! No police interviews allowed.

Bullshit! The guy confessed!

We picked him up under
the Mental Health Act.

Severe overdose. The guy took
10 grams of magic mushrooms.

- It takes 2 to hallucinate.
- So our confession?

It's useless. We can't even talk to him

- until he's discharged.
- All right,

I want everything we have on this guy.

Criminal record, employment
history, address.

- Everything.
- All right, I'm on it.

I was really pissed.

He's in the care of psychiatrists.

We can't just barge in and say we have

a whole bunch of questions
for this person.

We have to wait until
they're treated medically.

Anything?

No, not much. Kevin Davis.

Twenty-four. Lives in Barrhaven
with his mother.

- Criminal record?
- It's clean. No flags.

He's a manager at a pizza place.

There is this, though.

His address.

Jennifer would have walked
right by his place

on the way home from work.
Good job. You keep digging.

"I killed Jennifer Teague."
Of all the stupid things to say,

that's the stupidest thing you could say

if you live in Barrhaven.

That's gonna automatically
get you in trouble.

A week later, he was released
from the hospital

psychiatric ward.

I don't know what I was saying.

I never even met that girl.
I guess I just kept hearing

about this case,
over and over and over again.

And when I got high...

- Do you get high a lot?
- No. No, not really.

I've just been feeling down lately.

I broke up with my girlfriend,
and... you know how that goes.

Where were you the night
Jennifer disappeared?

I was at my friend Nick's
place, playing video games.

You remember that evening, Mrs. Davis?

He was here when I went to bed.

He was here when I got up, too.

So you're saying
you never met Jennifer Teague.

Look. He said he never met her, OK?

You think you can just come in and

- bully him to say what you want?
- Mom,

come on, OK? I'm sorry.

I just don't think
I'm gonna be any help to you.

And I'm sorry for the confusion and

everything. But I didn't kill that girl.

Kevin offered an alibi
that he was at Nick's place;

they were playing video games.

He knew that his alibi
was going to be challenged.

He was gonna be in
for microscopic attention

in the intervening days.

Davis's alibi from the night
of Jennifer's disappearance.

His buddy, Nick.
A few months ago, he gets into

a car accident.

Has a major head injury;
now he has amnesia.

Can't remember a thing
about that night. I know.

And Davis can't prove his alibi.

But we can't prove he lied.

Damn it.

Once you're starting to
get into the eighth, ninth month

of continuous frustration,
it's very tough.

- Hey.
- Figured I'd find you here.

Hi.

You OK?

I'm OK.

Come home.

I'm sorry. I... I can't.

My wife was pregnant.

I was gonna have a daughter,

but then I was dealing with a family

who had lost their daughter.

Jennifer's parents had been
without answers

for eight or nine months at that point.

I had to report frequently bad news.

Excuse us?

This lead didn't work out.

We don't have any new leads. We
don't have anything promising.

But we're still working at it.

I hope you know, that
you are doing the Lord's work.

I'm trying. I haven't...

Would you like to pray, Detective?

Yes. I would.

Come. Join us.

Everyone turn your Bible back
to Romans, chapter five.

Even if you're not a religious
person and you're not inclined

to go to church and pray for
something good to happen,

I think you also have
to spend some alone time

where you can let your mind just wander.

And think about whatever
it wants to think about

on the case. And that's
sometimes where you get

these really great
spontaneous sort of ideas.

We may not have any forensics,

we may not have any suspects,

but nobody outside
of this room knows that.

So let's use that to our advantage.

How does that help?

It helps by keeping
the pressure on. Right?

If the community thinks
we're closer than ever

to solving this case,

then maybe we can flush out a new tip.

Maybe even the killer.

I'm not sure what much more we can do.

We've already interviewed
every witness and

searched the entire neighborhood.

Not the entire neighborhood.

This is where Jennifer was found, right?

And this? This is where
she was last seen.

This is the area we've already
exhaustively searched. Right?

It's all public lands.

Streets, alleys, parking lots.

But what about this?

This is all private property.
Houses, garages, yards.

Exactly!

We haven't searched any private
property in the entire area.

Come on, Greg. We can't get
warrants to search every house

in a three-kilometre radius.

We don't need warrants.
We just ask the residents.

Consent searches?

Think about it. This is
a very close-knit community

that cared deeply
for Jennifer and her family.

They want this case solved.
So, if they're not involved,

they're gonna be more than happy
to let us into their homes.

I thought a good step
would be to ask the public.

We just want to come into your house.

We don't care about the weed
on your coffee room table.

We don't care about pictures
on your computer.

We don't care about anything like that.

One officer will take five minutes.

Open your closet doors, look in
your basement. Just to make sure

there's nothing related to
the Jennifer Teague murder case.

We did a massive canvass of
hundreds and hundreds of homes.

We went back to places
we've already searched before.

We wanted to keep
the pressure on the killer.

So far police have
received nearly 1700 tips

from the public. A team of
investigators is busy

checking them all out,
but they still have

more than 700 to go.

Can I help you?

What if I told you something
that would make you famous?

Would you want to hear it?

You have a nice day.

Even if I told you
I killed Jennifer Teague?

What did you say?

I killed her.

And I believe I should be punished.

So we have Kevin Davis who's confessed

under the influence of mushrooms.

I killed Jennifer Teague!

Then said, "That was crazy, you know,

I should have never said that."

We put him under intensive
police pressure and I think

that played on his mind.

Some ten days later,

Kevin Davis confessed to
an off-duty police officer.

I killed her. And I believe
I should be punished.

The difference was this time
he wasn't hallucinating.

No. I... I just want to confess, OK?

I just want this to be over. I don't.

Why can't you understand that?

You want my advice?
Just do what your lawyer says.

I don't need a lawyer.
I need someone to listen.

I can do that for you.

Come on.

His rights were read repeatedly.

He was cautioned that anything
he had to say would be used

against him in court. And he was
fine with all of that.

He just said he wanted
to get it off his chest.

I'd been driving around for weeks,

just looking for a girl, you know?

I was so sick and tired
of girls hurting me.

Leaving me.

I wanted to hurt them back.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I know you are, son.

And you're doing the right thing.

There was absolutely
no thoughts about empathy.

My strategy at that point
was just to keep

Kevin Davis talking.

I didn't pose threatening
questions or create

an environment that was oppressive,

that would convince somebody
against their will to confess.

I wanted to make this confession
absolutely perfect for court.

How do I know that it's you
who's responsible for this.

Other than your word?

I need you to prove it.

I need to know that it was really you.

So the family can finally
get some peace.

Show me what happened.

This is Kevin
Davis on the day of his arrest.

Police have just charged
him with murdering

eighteen-year-old Jennifer
Teague nine months earlier.

Davis confesses all without
a lawyer present.

The detectives put Davis
in a car and drive him

to the scene of the crime.

Davis tells them he decided
to randomly select

a teenage girl and rape and kill her.

After she left Mac's,
I followed her here.

Why did you pick her?

I don't know.

I guess this street
wasn't well lit so...

whatever happened, no one would see.

Have a safe walk home.

I think he calculated
when the two young ladies

separated, this one's gonna
go on a vulnerable path;

this one's not.

The individual didn't really
matter to Kevin Davis.

Having the victim in the
vulnerable place was his key.

He was just waiting to see
if the right set of events

were gonna unfold for him.
And unfortunately, they did.

Get off me! Stop!

Kevin Davis had no idea who Jennifer was

when he abducted her.

She just fit the profile and
she was in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

Where'd you take her?

Home. To my bedroom.

Wasn't your mother there?

One room over.

She has sleep apnea; her pills
knock her right out.

She couldn't hear a thing.

Kevin Davis' mother just
slept through the whole thing

because she was under the
influence of the sleep medication.

He brought Jennifer directly to
his bedroom, closed the door...

I blindfolded her.

Tied her hands behind her back.

She started saying,

"I have to get going.
My mother's waiting for me."

Then I strangled her until it was over.

Yeah.

He strangled her to death,

wrapped her in his grandmother's
quilt and carried her

down the stairs and put her in
the trunk of his mother's car.

His mother was there asleep

in the next bedroom the whole time.

I parked my mom's car right here.

And then I dragged
Jennifer through here.

That's where I left her.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Do you remember how you left her?

Was she face down or face up?

Face down.

I want you to show me
where she was. Exactly. OK?

This afternoon, Kevin Davis made a

brief court appearance and was remanded

in custody until a hearing on Friday.

Police are giving out
few details of the murder,

including the cause of death.

But they do say Davis was
living close to the spot

where Jennifer was abducted...

Kevin Davis is formally charged with

first-degree murder.

The confession was absolutely ironclad.

I've never seen such
a bulletproof statement

in my career.

Ultimately, his lawyer must've told him.

"We have to plead guilty. They
have insurmountable evidence

against you from your confession

and from corroborating evidence
that the police discovered."

He's indicated to me that
he wants to plead guilty

to the charges before the court.
That's first-degree murder.

That's his decision.

He made a decision to plead guilty.

But there's a couple

of questions that we needed answered.

Some fine points related
to his confession.

Good afternoon, Kevin.

I just wanted to go over a few
things from your confession.

You still believe that shit?

What kind of moron are you?

You confessed to the killing
of Jennifer Teague.

Yeah. On like, three days without sleep.

I talked to a psychiatrist and he said

I was out of my mind
when I made that statement.

We found her Discman in your home.

So what? There's a million
Discmans just like that one.

It won't hold up in court.

Well, your confession will.

Cause you were able to locate the body.

Please. I walked into
the woods and picked a spot.

Anyone could have done that.

So you guessed.

Everyone knew it was in the woods.

It was in the paper.

Right.

See this?

This is where the media
reported the body was found.

And this is where it was really found.

Where you took us.
Different trail. Different spot.

I don't want the media to know
the location of the body.

We took a little walk in the woods.

This. This is where you put your pen.

And this? This is where
the body was found.

Perfect match.

Only the killer would know

exactly, exactly where
her body was found.

Only you.

You know,

for a while,

I believed you.

I believed that you felt remorse for

what you'd done. That you had
a God-fearing soul in there.

It was infuriating.

I was standing two feet
across from somebody that

choked the life out of a
eighteen-year-old woman

and was smirking about it.

Most people will tell you I'm
actually a very calm person;

I don't get angry very much.
But I was absolutely furious.

I think he's just an evil monster.

I think he deserves to be locked
up for the rest of his life.

When he pled guilty, there was
not a dry eye in that courtroom.

In court, Teague's mother
heard for the first time

the details of her daughter's last hour.

The hardest part was hearing
what her last words were.

That my mom will be worried.

That was the hardest part of it all.

The only dry eye in the whole
courtroom was Kevin Davis.

I think that pretty much says it all.

Jennifer Teague was
a gentle, loving friend.

Somebody that cared more about
other people than her own self.

I know where she's buried. I go
and visit from time to time

and think about her and reflect
on the person that Jennifer was.

Pray for her soul. I think she was just

a wonderful young lady
that had a lot of potential

that was taken from us way too early.

For the Teague family,
the arrest and charge

have created mixed emotions.

Does it bring relief?
Well, a certain amount,

but it won't bring our daughter back.

Um...

Am I elated? I don't know;

I'm so tired I can't tell.

I'm glad that somebody has come forward.

And I'm so thankful for
the investigative officers

that have worked so hard:
Greg and Tim, you just...

Number one.
