Want some?

No, I got to run. I'll grab something at the base.

Will you hear today?

I hope so. Well, you deserve it.

Thanks. I'm ready for it.

Morning, Colonel. Morning.

Have a good one. Thank you, sir.

Good morning, Colonel. Good morning, Colonel.

As you were.

Stetler.

Here you go.

Chet Baker ... Carnegie Hall, '78.

It's that great reunion with Jerry Miller.

Wow. Fantastic. Thank you, sir.

Colbert, how'd your mother's hip surgery go?

Great, sir. Pain's almost gone.

She'll be jumping around in no time.

It's amazing what they can do with titanium,

make a new hip or build a C-17.

Yeah. Sir?

Major Lee wants to see you in the officer's mess first thing.

Oh.

Sure.

Hey!

Well done, sir.

You did this to get out of work, didn't you?

Defense Minister Shaw. What a surprise.

Congratulations.

The committee has unanimously endorsed you

as the new base commander of Base Trenton.

Well, thank you, sir.

Thank you. Thank you, all.

I'm very honoured .

Well, we know the base will be in good hands.

Congratulations, Russ.

You were born for this job. Thanks, Ken.

I know you'll have my back. Yeah.

Oh. Look out. That's terrific.

Land a C-17 on that.

Russ, I want you to know that this, uh...this government

has big plans for you.

We really liked your message at the Strategic Command Conference

about raising the public profile of the individual soldier.

Now, the royal visit is in the spring.

We'd like the Queen to give her keynote address

right here on the base.

That would be very exciting, sir. You'd better call me Phil.

Certainly.

The Queen personally requested you as her pilot.

You must have made quite an impression when you were flying

her around last time. Well, she's very kind.

Well, we'll drill down this more, Russ. Big times ahead.

Let's get a shot of the colonel over here.

Let's get some photographs. Sure.

Good turnout, Mary.

Thanks. It's what I do.

Did, uh, Bruce give you a number?

No.

But I've been after him for months, and I made sure he knew

the fundraiser would be well-publicised.

Mm-hmm. He said we'd be happy.

I'd like to give a heartfelt "thank you" to Bruce Middleton

from Ravincon Bank for this more than generous contribution.

With their donation, we will exceed our annual fundraising goal.

This is wonderful, Bruce.

And I'd like to thank Mary Elizabeth Harriman

for her great efforts.

Bruce told me that giving to the Beating Heart Foundation

was a painless procedure and he never met a more persuasive surgeon

than Mary.

So thank you, Mary.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank...

It has a nice ring to it, don't you think,

Russell Williams, base commander? You got it!

..of the Beating Heart Foundation made Beating Heart

the success it is today.

My friends and colleagues, I'd like to introduce you

to my handsome husband ... It's all right, isn't it? ...

Colonel Russell Williams, soon-to-be commander

of Air Force Base Trenton.

I'm so proud of you.

Life's good, Russ.

You know, I was thinking about the commander's house on the base.

We'll have to do an entire Reno on the interior.

It will be fun.

You know, I've been thinking about it, Mary, and I don't want to move.

You don't want to live on the base? No.

I love it here in Tweed.

I like our privacy here.

We're only 20 minutes from the base.

I guess it would be a lot with a house in the city, too.

Well, we'll spend more time on the base,

but I want to live here in Tweed.

You know, I could actually do a lot of the work from home.

Could practically run the base just by using my phone.

Oh, speaking of Tweed, do you know the DeWalt's house was broken into?

They even saw the guy.

You're kidding.

No, it's scary.

There's a lot of families here with young kids.

They don't lock their doors around here.

It'd be really sad for the neighbourhood if that has to change.

Eh, probably just some stupid kid who's so scared,

he won't do it again.

Hi, Bob. Morning, Colonel.

Kind of early, isn't it, Charlie?

Let's go!

Beth, you need a jacket.

I don't need a jacket.

Gwen, bring Beth's blue jacket. I'm not gonna wear it.

Hello, everyone! Hey, Colonel Williams!

Hey, Russ!

Congratulations, man. Uh, Mary e-mailed about your promotion.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Uh, you and Mary come by for a drink tonight.

We'll ... We'll celebrate. That'd be nice.

You have a great one.

Thanks.

Chief's been waiting for you.

Great. Enjoy!

I really appreciate it. Oh, my pleasure.

Ah, Detective Dobson. Better late than never.

This is Detective Nick Gallagher from Toronto.

Hi.

Hi.

Remember the exchange program?

Toronto officers come to the small towns,

and Toronto P.D.s get some of our finest.

Oh, I...thought that was next month.

Detective Gallagher has spent five years in Toronto homicide,

has a degree in behavioural science, expert profiler,

two awards of merit, and a service medal.

Well, you will put that expertise to great use here.

Traffic tickets,

D.U.Is, egging windows on Halloween,

fundraisers for the local hockey team.

It's, uh...It's crazy around here.

Sounds like a nice change.

I take it you grew up around here?

Yeah.

Did my training at the centre in Aurelia, but then came back here.

It's home, peaceful.

I know most folks.

Sometimes I think I'd like to sink my teeth into a good homicide.

Be careful what you wish for.

I volunteered for this exchange program to get away from homicides.

Well, good, then.

Our first call is a break and enter in Tweed

a few minutes North of here.

This is the third B&E in two weeks.

Strange thing...perp comes into the house, stays a while,

goes through personal effects, doesn't take anything.

We came home late, and there he was.

He took off out the back door.

I should have gone after him.

No, not such a good idea. He could have been armed.

Can you describe him for us, please, Mr. DeWalt?

Well, it was dark. I think he was tall.

I didn't really get a good look.

Can we see the bedroom?

Did you lay down here, Claire?

He was on the bed?

Was there a photo in here?

Yeah.

Who was in it? It was me.

What were you doing? I was at the beach.

What else is missing here?

It's so embarrassing. What?

What's going on?

My underwear, bras, they're gone.

Let's get forensics in here.

Well, here's to the new base commander

and to the fact that you're not moving to the base.

Hear, hear! Cheers. Cheers.

Thank you.

Well, Russ likes it here.

It's nice and quiet.

Okay, so two more pegs and it's my deal.

Oh, yeah. Well, you had 18.

That's what you had. No, I had 24.

It's my deal. Okay. All right. Go ahead, go ahead.

Well, we're happy you're staying. Mm-hmm.

'Cause it would be a little much to take care of three houses.

Gotcha!

Oh, no! Oh, yes!

Sorry.

So, what exactly is in a Bert's Special?

Everything, my friend, smoked meat, fried egg,

two kinds of cheese, tomato, kosher dill.

It's perfection.

Thank you.

At this time of night?

Yeah. After a special,

blood goes right in my stomach.

I sleep like a baby.

Been doing it for years.

So, they isolated three foreign threads, two hairs,

and a partial print from the DeWalt's bedroom.

I'll run it through the trauma database, see if we get a match.

Mmm!

See? It's useful having you around.

Um...

How did you know the DeWalt girl was hiding something?

I don't know. Body language?

Something was up.

I mean, the guy stole her underwear.

She was embarrassed.

That's very intuitive.

I found out at the other two B&Es they're missing underwear, too.

I bet you this guy's been pulling underwear heists all over town

and no one's been reporting it because no one gets hurt

and they're just too embarrassed. You're probably right.

What does he do with the underwear?

It's a way for him to get close to his victims.

Pretty creepy.

Yeah. Okay.

No, that's fine by me, but if we have the art show off school grounds,

then we need board's approval.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Thursday night.

Yeah, okay, good.

See you tomorrow. Bye.

Hello?

Is somebody here?

Joe?

Joe, have you been at my place?

Well, somebody has.

Come on. Is this a joke? It's not funny.

There's stuff missing.

Well, who else ... honestly.

Joe, did you...

..take my underwear?

All right.

Knock it off.

You didn't take my sex toys?

Joe, it's not funny.

Somebody's been here.

Should I call the police?

I know it's a hassle, but my stuff was in the drawer.

I got goosebumps.

I think ... no, I think I should call the police.

No, no.

Don't come all the way out.

I'm ... I'm gonna go get Harv.

Uh, there's probably, uh, an explanation.

Is there anything else missing?

I don't think so.

Oh, I just was so creeped out, like somebody was here.

That computer was off.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Somebody was in here.

Right, so...

It's the risk he gets off on.

So what if she'd come back and found him in the house?

I do think the grammar in the message is bogus.

He's trying to sound like a kid, throw us off-track.

Are we even on track? Is there a track?

No.

But, uh, he doesn't know that.

The job of air base commander is not to command aircraft,

but to command airmen and airwomen.

Colonel Williams, with an exciting, new, proactive agenda

to bring honour to the forces will be a role model

for those under his leadership.

Allow me to introduce a bright, new, shining star

in the Canadian military. Come on up here, Russ.

Your new base commander, Colonel Russell Williams.

Thank you, minister.

Thank you.

Mary, do you know Police Chief Novak?

Of course. Captain Novak.

- Please, call me Catherine. - Excuse me ladies.

Corporal.

Colonel.

Congratulations, sir. Thank you, corporal.

Are you still flying royalty around?

Just that one time with you, sir.

It was fun.

The Queen's French was better than mine.

Well, with, uh, our international agenda,

I'll have to improve my own French now.

Maybe you could help me with a lesson or two.

Oh, sir, I-I'm not a professional.

But I'd be honoured to help.

Uh, just let me know. I will. I'll do that.

Thank you.

I think it'll be fun for you to be in charge of the base.

You can declare casual Fridays.

Uniforms are banned.

You're advocating a nude base? Mm. Interesting image.

We'll still require headgear, though.

Yes.

They could leave their hats on, especially when the Queen

comes to visit.

Ahh. It's so exciting

that she'll be focusing on our forces, huh?

Can I meet her when she comes to the base?

Of course. You two can have long chats

about the affairs of state.

You're gonna do so well.

I'm so proud of you.

Mmm.

Oh, no. Oh, damn! What is it?

I... What?

I forgot the files at the base for the G-26 security meeting tomorrow.

It's...it's...oh, darn it. I got to review them tonight.

It's first thing. Oh, no.

I'll come with you. I'm sorry.

No, no, it's okay. Relax, have a bath, go to bed.

I'll...I'll try to be back quick. Okay.

First, I'm getting out of this uniform.

It's a new health drink, Cola Fruit,

high in vitamins C and E or something.

Our boy's been busy.

We've discovered three earlier B&Es, as well as the DeWalt

and Neston intrusion, all around the Tweed area,

where they admit underwear has been stolen.

This is his area of operation.

His comfort zone, his home turf.

We believe the suspect is a, local, and there seems to be

an escalation in risk-taking.

I-It gives him pleasure. With Maggie Neston,

he'd have heard her car coming down a long driveway.

He had had several minutes to escape, but instead,

he chose to hide and wait.

So he's taking more risks.

I think we need to put out a public-safety concern notice,

make everyone aware of the intrusions in the area.

Look, we really don't need to give this guy a heads-up

that we're on to him.

We have a duty to protect people.

Yes, yes, we do, and when you and Detective Gallagher

bring me some stronger evidence on this guy,

I will consider a public notice. This guy won't stop.

The creep gets a weird thrill out of pushing his luck.

Apparently, so do you.

Sample right here, as well. Bring the kit over.

Let me see that.

Jack, you want to check this out?

Okay, thanks.

Do you have someone who can stay with you tonight?

Um, I'll just stay at my sister's.

I can't stay here.

I was in the shower, and this man was in my house.

Yeah. We're gonna get him.

We'll be right back.

I'm glad you saw this firsthand.

So am I.

I've just ordered a public notice posted.

Thank you.

You let me know anything else you need.

Gallagher, are you getting more of a sense of this creep?

With every intrusion, he gives us more to work with.

Good.

I want you to present a full profile on him by noon tomorrow.

Hey, hon.

Did you see this about the intruder?

"The Tweed Creeper." Sounds like a monster movie.

Yeah.

The police are telling us to lock our doors and windows,

report anything suspicious.

It's terrible. The town's never gonna be the same.

We've assimilated the information collected so far,

classified the offender as highly organized.

He, uh...He does his homework.

The crimes are carefully planned, targeted.

He's, uh, methodical.

He knows the layout of the houses, the schedule of the women,

and he leaves little forensic evidence or clues,

unless he wants to.

It's almost like he wants the women to discover him.

He could have easily stolen underwear off a clothesline, but ...

but he enjoys getting into the homes.

He's in the beds.

And, uh, on some of the underwear left behind,

we found male pubic hair.

He's trying on the underwear.

Having himself a little fashion show.

So is he a transsexual, or is it a fetish?

I believe, with his profile, wearing the underwear

represents subjugation of his victims from a distance.

It's a last step before personal contact.

Can you be more specific?

We're expecting an attack.

Oh, yeah, you "goo-goo" yourself, buster.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

You have a nice, long sleep, okay?

Shh, shh, shh.

Don't fight. Don't do it.

Do what I say, and you'll be okay, all right? Shh, shh.

Oh, my God. What do you want?

Oh, my God. Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me. Please.

Oh, God, please don't hurt my baby. Shh!

Please don't hurt my baby. Don't worry.

I'm not gonna hurt your baby. I'm not gonna hurt you.

This is just a robbery.

I'm gonna stay with you until the other guys clean you out.

It's good you didn't see my face.

Then we'd have to kill you.

Oh, no, please.

Oh, God!

The guys won't be too long.

In the meantime... we need to take some shots.

Hey. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!

Is that a gun?

No. Pictures.

Got to get you recorded.

Why?

Okay, we're moving right along.

Don't move.

Be very still, okay?

Be very still. Please.

Okay, very still.

That's it.

Okay, very still.

Easy. Shh!

Please leave.

Great.

Really good.

What's wrong?

I don't feel good.

Don't fret. I'll be gone soon.

I have a headache.

Okay, I'll get you some aspirin.

Okay.

Okay. Here you go.

Careful, careful.

Don't spill it.

Ah.

Okay, now, just...just please roll over on your tummy, okay?

Go on. Okay.

That's it.

That's it. Nice.

I want you to count to 200 before you take off the blindfold.

200, and then you're free.

Okay.

If you don't... I'll come back and kill you.

Okay? Okay.

Goodbye, Linda.

Have a good one.

You can start counting now.

One. Two.

Three. Four. Five.

Six. Seven. Eight.

Nine... No, no, no!

Linda, don't take off the blindfold until 200.

Promise?

I promise.

Good girl.

Start again.

One. Two...

194, 195, 196...

197, 198...

199. 200.

200.

Oh, honey!

Oh, come here, buddy.

Come here, buddy.

Please, please, please, I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry!

Linda, did you get a sense of how tall he was or his age?

I'm not sure.

Was he slim or heavy?

I don't know.

My eyes were covered.

Do you remember if he was clean-shaven?

No, no.

He had a beard.

Was there anything else he said?

He knew my name.

He called me Linda.

When he was taking the photos, did he talk about things?

Can you remember anything else that he said?

He gave instructions.

He'd...He'd say, "Now, please roll on your tummy now, Linda."

You know, stuff like that.

He said, "Please roll over onto your tummy"?

Mm-hmm.

How long was his beard?

No.

No...No beard.

You just said he had a beard.

No.

No, I-I remember now.

No, he was clean-shaven.

The ident unit didn't find much to go on ...

no prints or DNA.

No sign of forced entry into Linda Godmere's house.

No sign of anybody there at all.

What are you saying? Well, hear me out.

She's made a series of previous complaints ... abuse charges.

All came to nothing. She has a thick police file.

Her story simply doesn't make sense.

I mean, what kind of sex assaulter says,

"Please roll over onto your tummy"?

Are you saying she made the whole thing up?

I'm just saying...

I've seen cases like this before ... copycat victims.

This is what I was afraid of with the notice.

A Lonely woman.

she sees the intruder notice.

She wants a little attention.

Did you see her?!

She was terrified!

She's not lying.

Yeah, um, I'm sorry.

I just ... I don't buy her story.

I do.

Okay.

I love that salad that you make.

I got all the ingredients that you like.

Ah, it's been such a long week.

Line three for Dr. Thompson.

Do you mind if I, uh ... if I did this alone, just us girls?

Go ahead.

He called me by name.

He...said it would be all right, brought me a drink of water.

Then he...he cut off my clothes.

Posed for him in...

...different underwear.

He said I was a "good girl." Then he...untied my hands,

told me to count to 200 before he took the tape off my eyes.

And then he left.

Line four.

The attack was virtually identical. Linda Godmere was telling the truth.

I made a mistake.

I was wrong.

Could I hear that again? I was wrong.

You were right.

Let's move on.

So...he uses their names.

He wants them to know, and us, that it's not random,

he's planning these attacks.

What the hell is the deal with the posing and picture-taking?

It's his signature ... a record of his exploits.

He, uh, records his crimes with pictures so along with the mementos,

the underwear, he can relive each intrusion over and over ...

the touch, the feel, the smell.

It turns him on.

He'll have quite a scrapbook. One sick, creepy scrapbook.

It's the pictures, the souvenirs now, but if one of the victims

can identify him, then, uh...

He'll kill them.

Yes. Colonel Williams.

Good morning. Detective Dobson.

Sorry to bother you, sir. No, no, no problem, detective.

Uh, would you like to come in?

No. No, thanks. This won't take long.

Uh, I'm sure you're aware of the series of break and enters

and assaults in the region. Yes.

Yes, I'm aware. We're canvassing the neighbourhood,

see if anyone's seen or heard anything suspicious.

You know, I-I wouldn't usually say anything, but...

It's completely confidential.

Okay.

You see that guy there ... Charlie Straw?

You should check him out.

Why, colonel?

Well, you know, he's...different.

Your people have been over there more than once.

We'll have a word with him.

Thank you, colonel. Oh, happy to help.

Look, any time, uh ... if there's anything I can do,

you give me a call anytime. Yeah.

We have to get things back to normal around here.

I agree.

Thanks for your time, Colonel.

You have a good one. Bye.

They're getting pretty serious about this.

They should be.

Can't be too careful.

We feel pretty safe.

With the base commander living next door,

we've got the entire Canadian Air Force looking after us.

Thanks.

Marie-France.

Oh, hello, colonel.

As you were.

How was your flight?

You were flying to Singapore with the prime minister, right?

That's classified, but I guess you would know that.

I wish I had jockeyed for that flight.

So, how about those French lessons?

I could come to your house Tuesday night.

You've got that nice, little bungalow on Brock.

I'm sorry, colonel.

I'll be out Tuesday night.

With Marc?

Marc Pendrell, 23rd squadron?

I'm sorry, colonel.

I have to go debrief.

You're Charlie Straw? Yeah?

You got a minute?

Oh, look, if this is about Charlie Brainerd, he's a horse's ass.

I never threatened him.

I just told him his prices were murder.

No, this isn't about Mr. Brainerd.

We're investigating the break-ins in the area.

The Creeper. Right.

Yeah, well, I hope you get him.

That guy's a weirdo.

Can you tell us where you were on the night of November 16th ...

a week ago Tuesday?

Uh, well, I guess I was up at my hunting cabin.

Good time for turkeys.

Was someone with you? No. I was alone.

You don't think I'm the Creeper?

We are interviewing everyone, sir, just gathering information.

Look, I'll ... I'll take a lie-detector test,

anything you want.

Would you agree to a lineup with some other men?

Yeah. Anything you like. I just want to clear my name.

8 A.M. Thursday morning, Trenton Police Department.

Allo, Marc. C'est moi.

Yes, I'm at home.

Oh, it was a good flight, but, uh, I'm exhausted.

I think I'm going to sleep for... a day or two.

Mm-hmm.

Let's have dinner Tuesday night, okay?

Okay.

Okay, bonsoir, mon Cher.

Ou est mon petit Bixby?

Bixby?

Bixby?

Bixby?

Ou es tu?

Bixby?

Bixby?

Where are you, mister?

You!

You bastard! Get out of here!

Oh!

Let go of me!

Give me a chance.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Please behave so I won't have to do it again.

Copy that? Please.

Good girl. I won't tell anyone, I promise.

Have a heart.

Why are you doing this?

Now, folks, you're not going to let this poor base commander

languish in custody, are you?

What am I bid to bail Colonel Williams out of jail?

I'll pay you to keep him in!

Come on, guys.

Have a heart!

It all goes to Operation Santa Claus for care packages for our troops.

So...how much to bail out the commander?!

200. $200!

Well-done!

Colonel Williams is that much closer to his freedom.

That was great, Russ.

Over $3,000. Yeah?

Terrific.

You know, it means a lot to the men and women of this base

to see that their commander is such a great sport, just a regular guy.

Great for morale.

Thanks, Ken.

Well, it was fun.

Anyway, good work.

Okay.

All right. Step right up. Right there.

There.

There.

It can be in his tone, in his accent ... anything familiar.

Okay?

Have number one speak the line.

Number one, step forward.

"I have to get these pictures just right, and then I'll be on my way."

All right. Thank you.

Number two, step forward.

"I have to get these pictures just right, and then I'll be on my way."

Thank you. Step back.

Number three, step forward, please.

"I have to get these pictures just right, and then I'll be on my way."

Can I have it again, number three?

"I have to get these pictures just right, and then I'll be on my way."

Thank you.

T-That's him.

That's him. That's the voice.

Are you sure? Yes!

I-I'll never forget that voice. That's ... That's him!

It's Charlie! What's going on?

I think they've arrested Charlie Straw.

He's the Creeper.

Get out of town. Charlie's the creeper?

Now's the time, Charlie.

It'll feel good to get it off your chest.

You're crazy.

I had nothing to do with those break-ins.

You broke in to Jodie Lavin's house.

You tied her up, and you sexually assaulted her.

What the hell?! I did not!

Where are all the pictures, Charlie, huh?

Where do you keep them?

What are you talking about?

How do you explain these?

What do you think? I like women.

I want to call my lawyer.

I'm so sorry to upset you like this.

Charlie, we're just trying to get at the truth.

Yeah, well, I want to get at the truth, too.

Good.

The truth will set you free.

Why do you think Jodie Lavin identified your voice

as that of her attacker?

Jodie? I know Jodie.

We're neighbours.

Last year, we sat on a school committee together.

She ... She ... She just recognised my voice.

That's all. She got mixed up.

Look at me!

I'm 55 years old, love my wife.

I look like the kind of guy who climbs in windows

and steals underwear and attacks women?!

I don't think so!

Marie-France?

Marie-France?

Help!

Help.

Help!

She's dead!

Help me!

So now we're looking for a murderer.

What about the boyfriend? Airtight alibi.

Besides, look at him.

Okay, well, we still have Charlie Straw.

He's in custody.

She's been dead 36 hours.

Time of death occurred before Charlie Straw

came in for the lineup. All single women, living alone.

She was Air Force.

Could it be someone from the base? It would make sense.

He's highly organized, disciplined.

If you think he's from the base, then we've got 3,000 new suspects.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Oh, that poor girl. It's so sad.

Did you know her?

No, not really.

You don't think it could be Charlie?

No, I don't think so. Maybe a jealous boyfriend.

Look, I know you have a lot on your mind right now,

but we have to make some time for ourselves.

And we will.

I'll miss you.

Maybe I could come to the city for a few days.

Well, I'm gonna be working a lot.

I won't be at the house much.

I wish you weren't going.

Mary...

I know I haven't been myself lately.

I'm kind of distracted. I don't know what's the matter with me.

You know, I really don't deserve you.

You've been under a lot of pressure.

Look, when I get back, we'll organize your leave,

take a vacation together on a beach somewhere.

Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

Good.

Take care of yourself, Russ.

Get some sleep.

Relax.

Do a little photography.

I plan to.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, yeah.

Dobson here.

Come in, detective.

Just checking a house ... 12870 number 46 highway.

You got a name?

That's the Lloyd house ... Jessica Lloyd.

Okay, right.

I'll check back in.

Copy that.

Jessica?

Dispatch, come in.

No one home at Lloyd's.

Everything's secure.

Copy that.

Jessica?

Jess?

Jess, your office called.

Are you all right?

Jess?

What time did you arrive?

Jacket. You know what?

Grab me a...

Okay, perfect. Yeah, just make sure...

...bitch.

See?

The tracks leave from the driver's side, go into the house,

and on the way back, they're dragging something.

He dragged her to the back of the vehicle.

How did you know that the car was here?

I saw it.

You saw it?

Last night, on patrol, there was an S.U.V. parked here.

It was before Jessica Lloyd came home.

It was before she was abducted. I saw it.

What year? What make?

I don't know.

License number? I didn't run it.

I checked the house.

It was secure. Everything was fine.

I didn't run the damn plates.

Okay, well, if this is our guy, and it looks like it is,

then Charlie Straw is definitely not our man

and we have to release him. Let's get moulds of all those tracks.

Right.

And, Dobson, start organizing a search for Jessica Lloyd.

Well, we'll deploy a company out there to help your officers

on the ground.

We'll have a chopper in the air in 20 minutes.

We've got the tools to find this girl.

- We'll use them. - Thank you, Colonel.

Do you have any leads?

Well, so far, what we know is... Uh, nothing, actually.

Nothing really here at this time.

Well, let us know if there's anything else we can do, chief.

I will.

Thanks again, colonel.

Take a flyer. Have you seen Jessica?

Take a flyer.

We got 16 new reports of underwear theft...dating back months.

Suddenly, they're coming in now.

If he's that prolific and he's transitioned to murder,

we'd better get him soon.

Here's the analysis on the tracks from the Lloyd house.

Uh, from the wheelbase measurement, the vehicle we're after is a jeep,

Toyota 4Runner or Pathfinder.

The bad news is they're popular ... more than 450 in the area.

The tires are Toyos ... 20-inch winter tracks ...

for cross-referencing. Also popular.

So this won't be easy.

No.

But it's a start.

We have to set up vehicle checkpoints around Tweed,

with your permission. You got it.

Great.

Yeah, we're good. Thank you, ma'am.

Over here.

All right, ma'am.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, sir.

License and registration, please.

..cooperation. Thank you.

You spent the day in Tweed, did you, sir?

Any alcohol today?

No.

Is that all?

Could I see your license and registration, please?

You're Colonel Williams, Trenton base commander, right?

Good to meet you, sir.

A real honour. Yes, thanks.

Uh, I'm in a bit of a hurry.

A lot of activity at the base these days.

I hear the Queen's coming. Yes.

Lots going on.

But, officer, I've really got to go.

I've got, uh ... I've got a sick kid at home.

Oh.

Sorry, sir.

Yes, of course.

You can go, sir.

Yep, thank you, sir.

You can go now.

His tires are a match.

He's the base commander. Okay.

You still have to report it.

Really, put that down.

So, I want Gwen in bed by 8:30,

and keep all the windows and doors locked.

Okay. Okay. Hi, Russ.

Um, keep the phone with you.

Call or text for any reason.

And you always have Colonel Williams next door if anything happens.

And we won't be late.

I can't believe this.

Is it really? Is it...

Hold on tight.

I want you back.

I missed you so much.

I love you so much.

I just didn't feel like going out.

What were we thinking?

I didn't know it was gonna be that long.

Russ, what are you doing?

Oh, Rosebud got out.

- Rosie? - Come here, sweetie.

Damn cat.

How was the movie?

Changed our mind.

Right.

Well, to hell with Rosie.

Can't let a cat control your life.

Good night.

Anything?

No.

All I know is he's still out there.

Pretending to be human.

I'm gonna ... gonna go home, catch a few.

Okay.

What about you?

No. I, uh ... I can't sleep.

I really screwed up, not running those plates.

Hey, don't beat yourself up about it.

Dobson, you're ... you're a good cop.

You gave us a chance, you know?

We're getting closer.

Thanks.

You know, you got to be careful with cases like this,

'cause, uh, they really get inside you,

and they eat you up.

So you just put up that old firewall.

I'll try.

Thanks.

Call me if there's anything.

Here are the reports.

Nine Tyre and vehicle matches.

We've got two young mothers, four adult males,

three older retirees, one minister.

One funny thing ... we pulled over Colonel Williams,

the base commander. Oh, God.

No, he was fine with it.

He was a little impatient.

Had to get home to a sick child.

His tires matched?

Yeah, but, I mean, he's the base commander.

Okay.

Good work.

I'll follow these up. Thanks.

Is that a gun?

No. Pictures.

Got to get you recorded.

Why?

Okay, we're moving right along.

Don't move.

Be very still.

I'm really sorry about this, Linda.

How old's your baby?

Nine months.

You don't seem like the kind of guy who would do this.

Colonel Russell Williams ... He's a suspect.

The base commander?

One of the highest-ranking officers

in the country is a panty thief, a rapist, and a murderer?

His tires match the tracks outside Jessica Lloyd's house.

I checked his itinerary.

He was at his Tweed house on the date of every crime.

Yesterday, at a checkpoint, he told one of the officers

he had to get home to a sick child. And?

He has no children?

He has no children.

His tires match, and he lied.

Here's where he lives.

Neston, Godmere, DeWalt, Lavin, Bradmore, Lloyd, Comeau.

And I just confirmed the morning after the night Jessica Lloyd

went missing, Williams called in sick with a stomach flu.

Wow.

It's all consistent with the suspect's classification,

behaviour sequence, methodology of the crime,

demographic characteristics ... a disciplined mind

of a career military officer.

It all fits.

He would have known Comeau from the base.

And he told Godmere, "As long as you can't I.D. me,

I won't have to kill you," but Comeau could.

His first murder.

Okay, just ... just hold on a second.

This is all still completely circumstantial.

I mean, we ... we don't even have enough here for a search warrant,

and... Oh, man, Dobson,

if you are wrong about this, we will all be writing parking tickets

in South Porcupine.

Okay.

I've got some calls to make.

You do understand what the press would do with this if it was leaked.

Just the fact that he's being investigated,

enormous damage to the armed forces.

We're dealing with brutal attacks and at least one rape and murder.

And Jessica Lloyd's been missing eight days.

I would suspect the Pope before Russ Williams.

All your evidence is circumstantial.

What if you're wrong?

But what if we're right?

Okay.

Let's say you are right.

Well, what happens now?

What is the protocol for handling this?

We can't lay charges or make an arrest or even get a search warrant,

for that matter, with what we have.

If we formally call him in for questioning,

it'll put him on the defensive, and then we risk him

destroying evidence and covering his tracks and possibly disappearing.

We could not prevent him from leaving the country.

What do you suggest?

All of these crimes happened within Williams' theatre of operations.

Comeau was under his command.

My investigators would like to call in the colonel

and ask for his help in solving these crimes.

As far as the press is concerned, he's working with us.

We do a casual, voluntary interview, see what we find out.

Good. Let's do it.

I'll tell you what you'll find out.

You'll discover that Russ Williams is innocent.

And the sooner we find that out, the better.

Hello? Hi. Colonel Williams,

this is Detective Nick Gallagher, Trenton detachment.

I'm sorry to be bothering you on a Sunday, sir.

No problem, detective. What can I do for you?

I'm on the team working the Tweed murder investigation,

and, uh, we're not having much luck.

And it occurred to us that with your knowledge of the base

and the community, you could really help us out a lot, sir.

Of course. I'd be pleased to.

Have you found the Lloyd woman yet?

Negative, sir.

Is there any chance you'd come down to the station today?

We have a few, routine questions.

Maybe you could suggest a few ways for us to take the investigation,

clear some things up.

Sure.

I'd love to help you guys out. About an hour good?

That'd be terrific, sir.

See you then.

Wow.

Good job.

Right here. Oh, thanks.

Detective Dobson?

Colonel Williams.

I'm really glad you could make it.

We can really use your help.

Well, it's the least I can do.

Colonel Williams, Detective Gallagher.

We spoke over the phone.

It's awfully good of you to come in on a Sunday, sir,

with your heavy work schedule.

As you know, we've, uh ... well, we've reached an impasse

in this case, and, uh, we need to look at all our options.

Sure.

I, uh ... I know you guys are working hard on it, so,

um, any information I can give you.

Great.

Can I get you a coffee or a tea or anything?

No, no, I'm fine.

Don't go to any trouble.

I'm glad you guys called.

I, uh ... I really want to help you find this creep, put him away.

Sorry about this ugly, little room.

They should at least have pictures on the walls, Russ.

Is it okay if I call you Russ? Sure.

Well, this is all routine.

You guys don't need me.

Nice to see you again, colonel. You too.

There. We can have some privacy.

Good.

Well, like I said, um, we're kind of stuck,

and, uh, we figured who would know the neighbourhood,

the base better than you.

Maybe ... Maybe you've seen something.

Maybe you've, uh, heard something.

Maybe a-a neighbour was acting funny, or someone at the base.

I-I meant to ask you ... sorry ... have you ever been questioned

by the police before?

No. Can't say I have.

Well, it's not as bad as you see on TV.

We shouldn't be too long.

And, uh ... And just so you know, Russ, y-you don't have to say

anything you don't want to, and, uh ... and you're free

to leave at any point. Okay.

Thanks.

I'm here to help.

He just advised him of his rights.

Again, just so you know, we, um ... we video all this.

Uh, we do it for everyone.

It's standard practice.

Check.

Gallagher, we've got his boots.

The lab is checking them now.

Uh, as you know, we're investigating two attacks ...

the disappearance of Jessica Lloyd

and the murder of Marie-France Comeau.

And one of my people.

Yes.

We got to solve this, Russ.

That's, uh ... That's why you and I are here in this ugly little room

on a beautiful Sunday.

Well, what do you think, detective?

Um, is it Charlie Straw?

No, no.

We, uh ... We think it's, uh ... it's someone else.

Please, call me Nick.

Well, I've been thinking about it...

..Nick, and, um... I've been wondering if ...

if it could be someone at the base.

It makes me sick to think so, but...

How well did you know Marie-France Comeau?

No, not well.

Flew with her once.

She was an, uh, Air Force V.I.P. flight steward.

We talked a few times.

I would see her at the base.

Was there any reason why she, um ... she would have written about you

in her diary?

What diary?

She didn't have a diary.

Don't spook him, Gallagher.

No, there's not. Absolutely not.

Any reason to think she felt more than a passing interest in you?

Absolutely not.

What I'm trying to do, what ... what we do with everyone is,

uh, find a reason to move past you as a suspect in this investigation.

Can you help me do that?

Sure. Of course.

Okay, let me ask you this.

You were stopped at a road check the other night, and, uh,

you told the officer that you had to go home to a sick kid.

You don't have kids.

No, I said cat ... sick cat.

My cat, Rosie, was ill.

Oh, okay.

Officer misunderstood.

Thank you.

Let's go back to Marie-France Comeau for a moment.

The boots are a match.

You know, Russ, it's ... it's not unnatural for a man

to have an affair.

I love my wife, Nick.

I would never have an affair.

Gallagher, his boots, the ones he wore today ...

they're a match for the tracks outside Jessica Lloyd's.

We're on our way to Williams' cottage now.

Another team's headed for his office on the base.

How many times did you meet, uh, Jessica Lloyd, Russ?

No, I never met her.

Uh, well, there was the once maybe, uh, at a fundraiser.

January, I think.

Beating Hearts and... No, no, 'cause...No, but we ...

we never spoke.

No, that was ... that was early December.

But, uh, there was all a bunch of activity.

I-I ... it's ... not sure how all the days fell together.

There was some meetings overseas ... 17 acquisitions.

Uh, I don't know.

Maybe, um ... Maybe at the school one morning.

Well, no.

No, that was the afternoon. I don't know.

Just, uh, before I went to these meetings, she didn't ...

I don't know. Wait.

What was the question? You okay, Russ?

Yeah, yeah, just ... just trying to remember.

Just give me a minute.

Just check it all.

Right here.

This packet ... take it.

Good.

What's going on here?

What's ... What's going on?

What are you doing?!

Is Russ all right?

What ... What's going on?

- Mary Elizabeth Harriman? - Yes.

We're exercising a search warrant on your property.

- A search warrant? - Please stay back.

What ... What is this...

John?

Russ? Russ?!

Oh, we found something here. Open this.

You want to check on this, too?

You'll have to pay for that!

Just bag it. Open it.

Lou, it's Mary.

Can you please come over here?

Russ isn't here.

I don't know where he is, and there's police everywhere,

and I don't know what's going on.

Oh, my God.

Gallagher, it's all here ... the underwear, the bras,

his trophies...his tools.

It's him.

Yeah, it's okay. Just tell him ... Just tell him to take...

Bingo.

He's got detailed files on a dozen other targets.

He was planning more attacks.

I won't tell anyone, I promise!

Please!

I don't deserve this!

I won't kill you. Just do what I say.

He recorded everything, Gallagher.

Godmere, Comeau, Lloyd ... all on video.

Can I have that flash drive?

You need to take a look at this, Russ.

These are your tires.

Mm-hmm.

These are the Tyre tracks found outside of Jessica Lloyd's house.

They're a match.

This is, uh, a print of your boots.

Mm-hmm.

And these are the tracks leading up to Jessica Lloyd's house.

Mm-hmm.

They match, too.

Really?

You and I both know you were at Jessica Lloyd's house

that night, Russ.

Want to tell me about it?

Our guys are in your Tweed house right now.

They found everything.

Well, I don't know what you think they found, but...I'm not involved.

There are a lot of people working on this case as we speak, Russ.

It's all out of your control.

And I know you don't like not having control.

Can I assume that you're going to be discreet about this?

These are serious accusations.

And there would be a, uh, significant impact on the base

if they thought you thought I did this.

It may be a little too late for discretion.

We have a team in your base office and another one in your Tweed house.

They found the underwear, Russ.

They found the photos.

They found the videos.

They seized your Pathfinder.

You want a lawyer now, Russ?

No, it's okay.

They're too expensive.

It's hard to believe this is happening.

Let's take a break.

Don't fight me. Don't make me do it.

Do what I say, and you'll be okay, all right?

What do you want?!

Oh, my God! Please don't hurt me!

Please don't hurt me!

Stop it, stop it! Oh, God, please don't hurt my baby.

Shh! Please don't hurt my baby.

My God.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt your baby. I'm not gonna hurt you.

This is just a robbery.

I'm gonna stay with you...

Come with me.

Like I said, we found everything, Russ ... the photos,

the videos, the records ... all your trophies.

And we found child pornography, Russ.

No.

No.

That's where I draw the line.

Not another word.

I will never confess to child pornography.

What will you confess to?

I want to minimize the impact on my wife.

So do we.

So how do we do that?

You tell the truth.

That's how you take control of this thing, Russ.

Now, are you a cold-blooded psychopath?

I don't think you are.

I know some people get off on that stuff, and I met those guys.

You're not like that.

The Lloyd family is in agony, Colonel.

They don't know if Jessica is alive or dead.

I think you're someone with compassion who will help them.

Take control of this thing, Russ.

Bring Jessica home.

Are we looking for a body?

Yes.

Buried or on top of the ground?

On top.

So what are we doing, Russ?

Where's Jessica?

Got a map?

Over here.

Why here?

Charlie Straw's hunt camp is right up the road.

See the work gloves?

I put them there.

They belong to Charlie.

She was a very nice girl.

Get him out of here.

Nick?

Nick!

I'm so sorry, Jessica.

Trenton base commander Colonel Russell Williams

has been arrested and has taken officers to the site

where he is alleged to have dumped the body

of 27-year-old Jessica Lloyd, who has been missing for eight days.

Earlier in his career, Williams had piloted the Queen,

the prime minister, and the governor general of Canada.

He led Air Force operations in the Middle East

and high-level security for many international events.

At Base Trenton, he had 3,000 men and women directly under his command

and oversaw the return of casualties from the war in Afghanistan.

I'm outside the county courthouse,

where disgraced Trenton Air Force Base commander Russell Williams

will emerge shortly after pleading guilty to 82 counts

of breaking and entering and theft,

two counts of sexual assault, and two counts of rape

and murder.

Prosecutor Burgess has asked the court...

I'm hoping that this community

can find a way to get over this.

Yeah, they might get over it, but they won't forget it.

Weren't you saying something about parking tickets?

Fundraising for the local hockey team?

When does that all start?

My guess is that starts tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to that. Me too.

So, I'm filing for divorce.

There will be papers to sign.

I'll be living in the city full-time.

I'm selling the Tweed cottage.

I understand.

How could you do this to all those women?

And you've made me a victim.

Everyone thinks I must have known.

Mary, I...

I'm sorry that I hurt you like this.

But will you please... make sure Rosie's okay?
