Original subtitles

When Justine was in Fermont.

I wouldn't always be with good boys who lack affection.

Are you coming to see me soon?

I need a place to store a few things. About 3 cubic meters.

Sophie, from 17 to 21 years old, it's as if he didn't exist.

No way, keep looking.

What will happen when your husband finds out?

I'll take care of it.

We've lost too much time, you have to take advantage.

I haven't seen your son in a while. How's he doing?

Your father will kill you.

- How long has it been since you've seen Desmarais? - Uh... Two months?

When he left, he was angry. With whom?

With cruel people.

- I'd say he was wearing a mask. - You, too?

Desmarais' cause of death is monoxide poisoning.

Gregoire, Justine, Desmarais. All three for carbon monoxide.

Have you ever heard of a murderer...

that kills its victims with a method...

so soft?

When we get to Baie-Comeau, Let's go to a motel.

My sister never had who would protect her.

Neither does my brother.

Do you regret it?

Of what?

About me, about the bag...

No.

About Justine it wasn't our fault.

No, it's not our fault.

I know you'd protect me.

I'd kill for you.

What was that?

The question may seem strange, but...

Did Steven know any Asians?

Did he ever talk to you about a Chinese man?

Suzanne,

you're gonna have to go identify him.

Is there anyone who can accompany her, that he can stay tonight?

This didn't just happen.

Who killed him?

It looks like an accident.

He had been drinking. A lot.

We found him outside.

He lost consciousness. In the cold, death was peaceful.

Still, we have to make him a few questions to better understand it.

Steven never drank alone.

We found a lot of bottles of vodka and gin at his house.

Empty.

Steven hated vodka, I assure you.

I only drank gin.

Don't start that again.

- It's all nonsense. - It's not nonsense.

Pao, we're doing this to be together.

We never see each other. I'm sick of being alone.

That's funny, because I've heard you've been with dancers.

And you're gonna blame me? I'm the one taking the risk.

- I need to be distracted. - You? You're taking the risk?

Well, did you find out anything when you were questioned by the police?

They seem to think that Desmarais is also a murder,

but they don't want to say it.

Justine Fournier's killer could have been the same...

that the one who killed to little Gregoire.

- Tell me, what did they say? - They were asking the questions, not me.

- I know. - When can we meet?

Soon. It'll be all right soon.

Well, I have to go.

Where's my truck?

Fuck's sake! Who was the funny guy?

Are you sure you parked it There? Shall I go and see?

No, but he was here. Fuck, I always park it here.

- Who the hell could have been the funny guy? - Is this a joke?

A thief couldn't have been! Where would I go? Iqaluit?

And if I wanted to go south,

they'd catch him before he got there to Baie-Comeau.

What a jerk the guy is...

Since my truck isn't here tomorrow in front of my house...

- Do you know anything about this? - No, it's not.

Since I found out that you knew something, I'm going to be very angry with you.

Have you made any progress?

- I have something that will interest you. - About Sophie?

- Yes, ma'am. - I knew it.

- I knew she was a fake liar. - My reward...

You know what I want isn't money.

I don't have all the details yet. I'm looking for, but I'm about to.

And with that, you'll go on to have national circulation. At the very least.

In the following year we'll learn how to put the mask on...

to someone who's short of breath, Okay?

Nathalie, come. I'll show you.

After you put it in your mouth, or someone else's,

before you breathe in, there's to always press the regulator.

What's this one, right?

INVOICE

ACUPUNCTURE SESSION

Huh?

Shit.

Lou, is that you?

Lou?

It's a 350 km high voltage cable coming up from Manic-5.

Identify the problem, taking into account gravity,

it could take hours or days.

That sucks!

Okay, I'm gonna go find a generator.

The priority now is to seek that people don't get cold.

Of course, of course...

We shouldn't have stayed here after my husband's death.

I told Steven.

But... he wanted to be a miner, like his father.

Listen, yesterday you told me that there were those they were laughing at him, they were cruel.

- Do you think they would have been able to... - No. No.

They also made fun of me when I was young.

And Steven dealt with that since I was in elementary school, so...

I know the bastards that do that.

It's in their interest that you're alive.

You're what they have to convince themselves that they're not miserable.

I was coming from far away, and in the end almost everyone did.

Even me.

I reproached him that I wasn't able to make friends.

As if his life wasn't hard enough already.

Thanks to sick leave he could have gone to the cabin.

There are only the ones from when I was a baby.

The ones on the computer...

erased them all. I didn't tell you that.

The last time you argued,

she locked herself in here and erased all the pictures he was in...

What?

I deleted them.

Why?

What difference does it make now?

Maybe Rapha�lle has some on the cell phone. Where did he go?

- And what's your brother doing in the bathroom? - He's busy.

- Robert? - Yes!

I'll be right out.

Desmarais had a lot of receipts of an acupuncturist, Michel Turcotte.

- Do you know him? - Yes, by sight.

- I think he was treating Gregoire too. - A kid was going to an acupuncturist?

No, Turcotte was a psychologist too.

This is small. It's interesting to have more than one job opportunity.

And why did you say that "was" psychologist?

Ah, because he retired in the fall.

He went to live in the United States.

The lieutenant knew him well. I'm sure you can locate it.

What you said about the killer, about the delicate, feminine method...

How long are we going to hide that fact? Because going public would serve...

so that citizens will help us.

It's too vague. It will generate hysteria, and we'll get a lot of false leads.

I understand you don't like to lie, but it's for the good of the case.

- But... - And lying by omission isn't so bad.

Well, maybe.

Do you think there will be candles in the apartment?

There should be.

- Do you need me to help you look for them? - I'd appreciate it.

Is this really happening?

Is it happening to us?

Nothing has happened to us.

We've done it.

I told you, he's sleeping over with a friend.

He won't be here before noon.

Take off your jacket.

That was a scare, really.

The lights went out and it was like being underwater.

If that happens...

you just have to keep breathing.

You'll see, you get used to it.

Always.

Adrenaline is powerful, don't you think?

Sometimes I need some danger, to feel alive.

Please, Alain.

Thank you.

It must be weird to know that your daughter is nearby, sleeping with her baby.

- Forgive me, I didn't mean to... - No, it's true, it's amazing,

but weird, no.

In fact, it's a feeling very familiar.

Even if it's close, I feel it is most unattainable.

You want to know what I did to him?

I broke his heart.

What do we do now?

Whatever you want.

Scare me.

- Is something wrong with you? - No, no, sorry, I have to go.

See you tomorrow.

So, the killer wanted that we found the body?

What did it matter to us to find it under a boat?

We'll have to understand it better,

because it won't be the last body we'll find.

I CAN'T WAIT!

Yes?

Mrs. Ch�nier has found the bag.

- Where? - In the woods.

- Besides, he knows who left it there. - I'll be right there.

How did you decide to start a new life here?

I wanted to get as far away as possible.

But it wasn't enough.

What C�line did...

- What C�line did to me. - Hey, you don't know everything.

It was during Operation Coyote. You came close to being involved.

Nothing you say will make me forgive her.

Besides my husband,

no one in Fermont knows my past.

Will you make sure he understands that that shouldn't change?

No.

I already told your mother that I don't intend to broker.

You know you have no choice!

He'll never be in my life, let alone my son's.

Goodbye.

I hope to see you again under less than...

So do I.

- I'm stressed out. I'm sorry. - It's all right.

Who's your new "client"?

His name is Steven Desmarais.

But don't tell. until tomorrow morning.

- Do you dismay? Steven Desmarais? - Did you know him?

No. Well, yeah, like everybody else.

Is this really another murder?

Good morning, Sophie.

What is clear is that this is uncomfortable.

But one of us I'd have to break the ice.

It's already done.

What?

- Are we going to pretend it didn't happen? - Why not?

Actually, I didn't expect that.

It was cold, and we warmed up, that's it.

It's easy for you, you don't have a partner.

Do you think Fabienne would bother?

You don't know her.

Maybe she was relieved.

- Why? - That way he'd feel less guilty.

Why? Do you think he cheated on me too?

- You've been with her for two minutes! - That's all I need.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Sometimes I'm wrong too.

- Good morning. - Can we come in?

Yes.

Sorry about the hour. I have to talk to Anthony.

Have you seen the key...?

It's on the dresser.

- Hello. - Hello.

Anthony's not here. He slept at his friend Felix's house.

The lieutenant asked him, and Felix hasn't seen him since yesterday.

Oh, no... I knew he was up to something.

Can you think of where he might have gone?

No. Why do you want to see it?

- We just want to talk to him. - We have a search warrant.

What made you think that there was something abnormal about Anthony?

He was very nice, he wasn't normal.

We're way behind schedule.

I told you to turn it off.

I want to reassure my parents.

Your father won't call the police, but mine does.

What did you tell them?

That I slept at home from my new boyfriend,

and that I wasn't going to be able to go to the funeral.

Does it bother you that you can't go to the funeral?

It's all right.

If there's anyone who would understand, would be Justine.

Has anyone called you for you to come?

Why? Did my truck show up?

- Your truck? - Yes.

I'm talking about Anthony.

They want to question him, but he's gone.

That he's gone?

That's what they think.

They want to talk to you, too.

He's gonna be a bastard. He hasn't spoken to me in three months.

- So why did you come? - Ah, nothing, nothing.

What do you want from Tony that bitch from Quebec?

- He's gone? - Yeah, I tried to hold him off,

but, apparently, has lost the van.

Anthony.

Send the registration to all the police stations to Trois-Rivi�res.

Okay.

- Did the van show up? - Not yet.

Hello?

Are you out of your mind?

I have to find out what's going on. And so are you.

Think of Gregoire and Justine.

The bastard who killed them is walking right now on the wall with a smile on his face.

- No, what do you say? It's just rumors. - Who would make something like that up?

I know.

But in order to act, we need proof.

And how are we going to find them?

I only see one way.

Did you send the body to Quebec?

I would have gone too, but you've kept me here.

Is it to make you warm at night?

No.

- Tell me you're not. Is that it? - Shut up, Martin.

What's this?

Ah, I found it in the snow, near Desmarais' cabin.

Maybe it's nothing, I don't know.

- Aren't you done with the phones yet? - I'm...

I was done, but...

snooping around on Justine's cell phone,

I came across an application of espionage...

that we use to monitor the line of suspects.

- And I saw... - You were spying on their conversations?

- Yeah, for three years now, too. - Yeah, it was for Operation Coyote.

He was with who we thought he was the biggest drug dealer in town.

And you were still listening to her?

No, but this morning a flash came over me.

And I've been checking Desmarais' cell phone.

It also has the app.

No one else uses that app,

is an exclusive version which is only used by the Quebec police.

Why would the police want to hear the Desmarais talks?

That's where I'm lost. I'm trying to figure out who was sent...

the calls, the messages and everything else, but nothing.

The information is encrypted.

Send both mobiles to Quebec. I want the best experts on that.

Very good.

The body of Steven Desmarais has been found to be lifeless...

in his cabin at Lake Daigle.

The police think it was an accident, but he hasn't made a statement yet.

No, it can't be true. You'd expect Justine's...

but Steven Desmarais... I don't understand, it can't be true.

Think about it.

Yes.

Yeah, I know what would happen to me in prison.

Yeah, but if we don't say anything, if we do nothing...

Okay.

Okay.

Yes, yes.

Yes.

- Thank you. - To you.

Anthony's gone. with Rapha�lle Fournier.

Yeah, right.

- Did you know that? - No, no, no, I...

I have to ask you one thing.

Take off your jacket and cap.

Dave.

I present to you to Detective Sergeant Trudeau.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Did you hear about Desmarais?

Apparently I was his only friend.

When he came, we talked, but he was more of a client than...

My condolences.

Thank you.

His mother says they played together to video games some afternoons.

It's true.

- Not that I didn't like him, but... - I didn't want them to be connected.

I already have my problems.

Who was creating them for him?

What are you hiding that you don't want to be seen?

It's the others who keep things from me.

Who?

You're not gonna like it.

- Don't make me dizzy. - I don't intend to.

Ask your boyfriend.

Those bastards seem to think that whoever killed Justine...

killed Greg.

You son of a bitch!

I swear to you. Ask your boyfriend. I'm sure he knows.

I will.

It's true, everyone had started to mess with Steven. No wonder.

But for the past six months, things got worse with Bruno and his gang.

They wouldn't leave him alone.

You mean six months before he took his leave?

Sort of.

Don't say I told you.

Bruno and what gang?

A dozen bullies who bully to the mine. And the rest of the city.

They think they have a right to everything because they're friends with the little boss.

"The little chief" is Louis-Philippe Ricard?

Yes.

Wouldn't that group who was with Bruno...

the night he beat her up to Pao Beauchemin, to "the Chinese"?

Yes, it is.

But I don't see the connection.

I don't either.

Not yet.

When was the last time you saw to Steven Desmarais?

It was during the holidays. Between Christmas and New Year.

In your cabin?

No. Here.

I've never been there.

No one's there?

Where's Jules?

He's not here, and he's not answering his cell phone either.

That doesn't suit him, does it?

Sorry, I'm just late.

You look like Justine.

No. You've told me that before, but we're nothing alike.

Hey, excuse me. I'm so sorry.

It must be very hard.

Jules will be back in the morning.

Ah, yes. He didn't want me to talk of this with anyone, but...

with you I guess I can.

The number six excavator has gone bad again.

- It's sabotage. There's no doubt about it. - Okay.

You tell him, go on.

I, tomorrow, have a funeral.

I remember now.

In that bar in Quebec.

Vanessa?

That was Vanessa.

Any news of Anthony?

No.

What's the matter with you?

I know you can't talk to me of what's going on at the station, but...

Excuse me...

Tell us who killed Greg and Justine.

I don't know.

The investigation is not over.

- They're not even sure if... - They'll have a suspect.

From now on, you're gonna do what I tell you to do.

Is that clear?

You wanted me to investigate the acupuncturist of Desmarais, Michel Turcotte.

I'm going to be honest with you, is my brother-in-law.

But I've checked, and from what I understand,

Michel didn't treat Desmarais as an acupuncturist.

- As a psychologist? - Yes.

Do we have receipts?

It was a favor I was doing clients that they didn't want it known that...

Well, they were in therapy.

I know, it's not very honest,

but Michel wasn't hurting anyone.

Can we not mention it in the reports?

With the back pain he had, You never tried acupuncture?

That's what surprises me. He never told her about that pain.

Did Turcotte ever ask you no medical reports?

Yes, yes, of course.

Desmarais told him about his acne, of his erectile problem,

but I don't understand why he kept his back from her.

Turcotte also treated to Gregoire Lamontagne.

Yes.

Alcoholic parents, aggressive father.

Social services they referred it to him.

You only saw him three times before...

And Justine?

He didn't treat her much either.

It was when she was a teenager. It was her mother who forced her to go.

Why?

Well...

H�l�ne believed that her daughter she was controlled by an evil spirit.

And Michel agreed with her.

Except for him, the spirit was flesh and blood.

He was a dominant man who, he was probably abusing Justine.

But the one she felt something for.

And did he tell you who he was?

Justine never wanted to admit that this man existed.

MICHEL TURCOTTE. ACUPUNCTURIST AND PSYCHOLOGIST

You could have called.

I just didn't have coverage.

There are a thousand decisions to be made, we have another sabotage, and you disappear.

I sent you a message saying that I was going to Wabush.

I had to leave William with �milie all day.

What did you have to do in Wabush?

I can't tell you that.

Why is the garage empty? And what were you hiding there?

I guess that's you can't tell me either.

Well, not at the moment, but you'll soon find out.

I'm doing this for you, I'm doing it for us.

You don't trust me?

Of course I trust you.

I'm just worried.

Why?

To Robert.

Justine's uncle.

He recognized me.

No, that report doesn't...

Don't fuck with me!

If they find out...

We're gonna find that bastard.

What do you think?

For I would not trust my intimacies to Turcotte. What about you?

I missed something earlier over the head, and now again.

What?

We know that Gregoire's father I was hitting him,

and that Justine was being tormented a spirit of flesh and blood,

and that Desmarais was a laughingstock from all over the world.

Do you think that...?

You think that's the link among the victims?

It's not the age, it's not the sex, or the color of the hair, it's...

The killer chose his victims because they were already victims.

I won't be long. I pick up the laptop and I'm ready.

Where are we going?

- You know a lot of things, don't you? - Yeah, people are pretty upset about it.

No wonder. Normal.

- We'll do it again. - Yes.
