-Yves Trudeau was known
on the street as "Apache."
64
00:03:19,574 --> 00:03:21,702
Leaders of the group
gave him that nickname
65
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:23,954
because he was
like an Apache warrior,

he was also known
as the "Mad Bumper"

not that kind of creature.

middle-class neighborhood,

a kind of military discipline.

making bombs, fertilizers.

how to work with explosives,
blowing shit up.

known as a happy-go-lucky guy.

was a good member at that time.

Not drinking, no drugs, nothing.

He was okay.
He was a straight guy.
92

always wanted to be someone

a family within the bikers.

that Yves Trudeau realizes

he doesn't really care
about killing anybody,

and decided, "No cocaine."
516
00:26:54,071 --> 00:26:58,534
And now Lessard is
in charge of the Sorel Gang.
517
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:02,996
And his gang has a rule --
nobody does hard drugs.
518
00:27:04,498 --> 00:27:08,669
-The leadership in Sorel were
disgusted by the guys in Laval.
519
00:27:08,669 --> 00:27:10,546
One of them was Yves Trudeau.
520
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:13,257
He had unnecessary arrests,
which brought
521
00:27:13,257 --> 00:27:16,135
much-despised media coverage
to the Hells Angels.
522
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:18,512
-It wasn't a situation where
you could just tell these guys,
523
00:27:18,512 --> 00:27:20,806
like, "You're no longer
a part of us."
524
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:22,432
It was like
you either kill them
525
00:27:22,432 --> 00:27:25,018
or you bring them in closer.
526
00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:31,525
-So the leadership
in Sorel asked New York
527
00:27:31,525 --> 00:27:35,320
if it was okay
to get rid of the chapter,
528
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,074
de-patch them all,
and New York, uh, said okay.
529
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:41,577
They just thought they were
taking their patches away.
530
00:27:41,577 --> 00:27:45,622
They didn't know that
they planned on killing them.
531
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:47,583
-It's a momentous decision
532
00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:50,627
because the Hells Angels had
no compunction
533
00:27:50,627 --> 00:27:52,838
of slaughtering their enemies,
534
00:27:52,838 --> 00:27:55,591
but to turn against your own,
535
00:27:55,591 --> 00:27:58,677
to kill your own
full-patch members?
536
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:03,307
-They decide that
seven people will be killed,
537
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:07,561
and two or three will be allowed
to become part of the Sorel gang
538
00:28:07,561 --> 00:28:09,563
because they're considered
acceptable.
539
00:28:09,563 --> 00:28:12,107
And then a couple
will be allowed to quit.
540
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:15,235
And that's mostly because
they're such total potheads
541
00:28:15,235 --> 00:28:17,738
that they're
not very useful anymore.
542
00:28:17,738 --> 00:28:20,866
The Sorel or South chapter
wanted Yves Trudeau dead.
543
00:28:20,866 --> 00:28:25,162
He was definitely on the list
of people who had to be killed.
544
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:30,959
โชโช
545
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:34,421
-The South chapter
of Montreal calls a meeting.
546
00:28:34,421 --> 00:28:38,800
They want the North chapter
to come to a clubhouse
547
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,762
near Lennoxville.
548
00:28:41,762 --> 00:28:45,182
-A guy named Gerry Coulombe
is a striker
549
00:28:45,182 --> 00:28:49,519
who wants to become part
of the Sorel gang.
550
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:53,106
Coulombe says that his job was
to pick up a rented truck,
551
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:57,235
and in the rented truck,
there were gloves,
552
00:28:57,235 --> 00:28:58,946
there were various
cleaning products.
553
00:28:58,946 --> 00:29:03,075
He delivers the truck
and a bunch of guns
554
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:05,535
to the clubhouse in Sherbrooke.
555
00:29:05,535 --> 00:29:08,580
-They held the party
and true to their reputation,
556
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:12,918
a lot of guys from Laval
didn't show up.
557
00:29:12,918 --> 00:29:15,587
They were reminded
by Montreal South
558
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:19,341
that attendance was mandatory.
-The next day,
559
00:29:19,341 --> 00:29:23,011
many members of the North
Chapter come to this meeting.
560
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:26,223
They walk into this clubhouse
561
00:29:26,223 --> 00:29:30,894
and they realize
they are gonna be executed.
562
00:29:30,894 --> 00:29:33,313
-Montreal South opened fire.
-[ Gunfire ]
563
00:29:33,313 --> 00:29:36,775
-Pow, pow, pow.
564
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,444
They completely decimate
these guys.
565
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:41,571
Other hapless members,
566
00:29:41,571 --> 00:29:44,324
including the brother
of one of the victims,
567
00:29:44,324 --> 00:29:48,120
are forced to watch
and then clean up the blood.
568
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,622
-The others from Laval
were traumatized,
569
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,999
and the Hells Angels told
the survivors
570
00:29:52,999 --> 00:29:57,087
that two of them could become
Hells Angels Montreal South
571
00:29:57,087 --> 00:29:58,922
and the others
had to give up their patch
572
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:01,049
and just go away.
573
00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:04,136
"Don't even be involved
in the biker world or crime.
574
00:30:04,136 --> 00:30:06,388
We'll know."
575
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:08,348
-This isn't the first time the
Hells Angels have killed people,
576
00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:10,600
and this isn't the first time
they've done it this way.
577
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,646
But they put the bodies
into sleeping bags
578
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:16,940
and then wrap them in chains
579
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:20,444
with weightlifting discs
or cinder blocks.
580
00:30:20,444 --> 00:30:25,699
-The bodies are then driven
to the St. Lawrence River
581
00:30:25,699 --> 00:30:28,785
in the back of a van.
-On the way there,
582
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:32,039
Gerry Coulombe is
in the follow-up truck.
583
00:30:32,039 --> 00:30:35,917
Coulombe and the gang had these
bodies, but it wasn't dark yet.
584
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:38,378
So they stop at this bar
and they have spaghetti.
585
00:30:38,378 --> 00:30:41,882
And after dinner,
when it's dark,
586
00:30:41,882 --> 00:30:43,633
that's when they drop them
in the St. Lawrence River.
587
00:30:47,095 --> 00:30:51,266
-Yves Trudeau, the Hells Angels'
most prolific assassin,
588
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:55,145
is himself supposed
to be assassinated as part
589
00:30:55,145 --> 00:30:56,938
of the Lennoxville Massacre.
590
00:30:56,938 --> 00:31:00,067
He's the one, in many ways,
who triggered it all
591
00:31:00,067 --> 00:31:02,152
with his bombing
of the apartment building
592
00:31:02,152 --> 00:31:05,280
and then going around
asking for money.
593
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,160
He was on the kill list.
594
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,662
-Ironically,
he was in rehab at the time.
595
00:31:12,662 --> 00:31:16,666
-I suspect Trudeau had
an inkling.
596
00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:18,502
Because why, all of a sudden,
597
00:31:18,502 --> 00:31:22,172
did he go to detox the week
before the massacre?
598
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:25,634
It seems to me either
somebody told him something
599
00:31:25,634 --> 00:31:27,511
or he was getting the vibe.
600
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:33,183
A guy named Biff Hamel
comes to see him,
601
00:31:33,183 --> 00:31:38,271
and Biff Hamel says that
he's been made dishonorable,
602
00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:41,483
that his bike has been taken
off him,
603
00:31:41,483 --> 00:31:47,197
and that he has to remove
his Hells tattoos.
604
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:51,034
Trudeau gets out of detox, and
when he goes to the clubhouse,
605
00:31:51,034 --> 00:31:53,328
they say to him,
606
00:31:53,328 --> 00:31:57,249
"Well, you have to kill three
people to get your bike back."
607
00:31:57,249 --> 00:31:59,376
He kills one guy.
608
00:31:59,376 --> 00:32:01,628
But by that point, the bodies
have started coming up.
609
00:32:05,298 --> 00:32:07,342
-In June,
610
00:32:07,342 --> 00:32:10,512
a fisherman was casting
off on the St. Lawrence
611
00:32:10,512 --> 00:32:16,226
and pulled up the body
of the Laval club's chemist --
612
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:19,771
Jean-Guy Geoffrion --
scraggly hair, beard,
613
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:25,068
bloated from his time
in the water.
614
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:28,405
-The police set up
a camp at the dock
615
00:32:28,405 --> 00:32:32,868
and just start dragging
the river for bodies.
616
00:32:32,868 --> 00:32:35,537
-Quebec Provincial Police
fished out six bodies
617
00:32:35,537 --> 00:32:37,372
from the St. Lawrence.
618
00:32:37,372 --> 00:32:39,749
The bodies had been
in the water a couple of months.
619
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:42,294
They were chained,
wrapped up in sleeping bags
620
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:44,754
and tied down with weights.
621
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:46,506
Five of the men had been shot.
622
00:32:46,506 --> 00:32:49,718
One had been beaten to death.
623
00:32:49,718 --> 00:32:52,053
All had been members
of the Laval chapter
624
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:54,306
of the Hells Angels.
625
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:56,850
-It caused a sensation.
626
00:32:56,850 --> 00:33:00,312
Police converged
on this mystery of, you know,
627
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:03,023
why there are dead bikers
floating in our river.
628
00:33:05,692 --> 00:33:07,527
-So now you just have
so much heat.
629
00:33:07,527 --> 00:33:10,530
You have cops sniffing
around clubhouses,
630
00:33:10,530 --> 00:33:12,824
looking to recruit informants,
631
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:17,746
and it creates a real barrier
for "Apache" Trudeau
632
00:33:17,746 --> 00:33:21,041
to make things right and kill
the two people he needed to.
633
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:25,795
โชโช
634
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:28,256
-The Quebec police force used
a front-end loader
635
00:33:28,256 --> 00:33:30,550
to smash its way
into the Hells Angels' hangout
636
00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:32,385
at Lennoxville,
near Sherbrooke.
637
00:33:32,385 --> 00:33:35,514
It was one of about 100 raids
following information
638
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:39,726
five and possibly six Laval
gang members had been murdered.
639
00:33:39,726 --> 00:33:41,853
-There are a bunch of raids,
Hells Angels are picked up.
640
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:48,068
Yves Trudeau gets picked up
on a minor weapons charge.
641
00:33:48,068 --> 00:33:50,237
The police don't know
642
00:33:50,237 --> 00:33:52,572
that they have a serial killer
on their hands, right?
643
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:54,658
They have no idea
644
00:33:54,658 --> 00:33:57,035
they have the Jeffrey Dahmer
of the Hells Angels.
645
00:33:57,035 --> 00:34:00,038
-So the detective starts
talking about
646
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:04,459
how there's a hit out
on Yves Trudeau.
647
00:34:04,459 --> 00:34:08,797
So Yves Trudeau knows that the
Hells Angels want to kill him.
648
00:34:08,797 --> 00:34:12,884
-When the police learn that
somebody's life is in jeopardy
649
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:14,594
through a police investigation,
650
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:17,222
the police have a duty to warn
that person
651
00:34:17,222 --> 00:34:20,934
and offer them protection
if they so choose to take it.
652
00:34:20,934 --> 00:34:23,103
-A Hells Angel of his rank,
653
00:34:23,103 --> 00:34:26,564
turning was unprecedented.
654
00:34:26,564 --> 00:34:30,402
He knew that he was
in danger for his life,
655
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:32,654
but he would be
in even more danger
656
00:34:32,654 --> 00:34:35,699
if he didn't get protective
custody from the police.
657
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:38,868
Trudeau knew that it was
turn or die.
658
00:34:42,664 --> 00:34:50,088
โชโช
659
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:54,676
-Yves Trudeau...he's in jail.
660
00:34:54,676 --> 00:34:57,887
He knows
that his days are numbered,
661
00:34:57,887 --> 00:35:00,056
that the men
who had hired him to kill
662
00:35:00,056 --> 00:35:02,767
so many people now want
him dead,
663
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:05,562
but the Hells Angels
had reached into prisons
664
00:35:05,562 --> 00:35:09,691
and had killed their enemies
or rivals in prison as well.
665
00:35:09,691 --> 00:35:11,735
-He realized that any second,
666
00:35:11,735 --> 00:35:14,362
Hells Angels
could push a button
667
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:17,407
and have him murdered
inside that prison.
668
00:35:17,407 --> 00:35:19,367
-It's an untenable situation
to be in.
669
00:35:19,367 --> 00:35:23,538
You are either going
to turn in your brothers,
670
00:35:23,538 --> 00:35:28,126
or you're going to face death
at the hands of your brothers.
671
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:34,966
-The first thing
they do when you turn
672
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:37,427
is you have to give up yourself.
673
00:35:37,427 --> 00:35:39,471
You have to admit every crime
that you've done.
674
00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:45,435
Of course, Trudeau's
list was very, very long.
675
00:35:45,435 --> 00:35:47,062
-I think
that the chief of police
676
00:35:47,062 --> 00:35:50,273
were maybe not too happy
when it revealed
677
00:35:50,273 --> 00:35:53,985
that he was involved
in 43 murders.
678
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:56,905
-Had Yves Trudeau not admitted
to all of those,
679
00:35:56,905 --> 00:35:59,324
they would probably all
still be unsolved.
680
00:35:59,324 --> 00:36:03,036
He solved a ton of crimes
for them.
681
00:36:03,036 --> 00:36:04,329
-Part of the deal,
682
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:06,373
Yves Trudeau
will have to testify
683
00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:08,124
against his fellow bikers.
684
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:12,879
In return, even though
he's sentenced to "life,"
685
00:36:12,879 --> 00:36:16,508
he will get a 7-year jail
sentence.
686
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:20,637
So 7 years for 43 murders?
687
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:24,182
I think that works out to,
like, two months per murder.
688
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,267
I mean, it was ludicrous,
689
00:36:26,267 --> 00:36:30,188
but the trade-off was supposed
to be that he would testify.
690
00:36:32,273 --> 00:36:34,526
-Four members
of the Hells Angels
691
00:36:34,526 --> 00:36:37,237
are on trial
for first-degree murder --
692
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:40,698
all members of the Sorel Chapter
of the motorcycle gang.
693
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:45,412
It's the first day of their
trial and security is tight.
694
00:36:45,412 --> 00:36:47,789
There could be
more than 100 witnesses,
695
00:36:47,789 --> 00:36:52,293
but a key one could be this man,
Yves "Apache" Trudeau.
696
00:36:52,293 --> 00:36:54,838
Trudeau is a former
Laval Hells Angel,
697
00:36:54,838 --> 00:36:56,965
but he turned police informer
698
00:36:56,965 --> 00:37:00,468
when he learned the gang had
a contract out on him.
699
00:37:00,468 --> 00:37:02,262
-Trudeau showed up.
700
00:37:02,262 --> 00:37:04,806
It was electric
in the courtroom.
701
00:37:04,806 --> 00:37:06,850
I'm in maybe the first
or second row,
702
00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:09,519
because I was always one of the
keeners who was there early,
703
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,063
so he wasn't very far away.
704
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:14,732
-The problem was,
on the stand,
705
00:37:14,732 --> 00:37:18,445
Yves Trudeau was
a dreadful witness.
706
00:37:18,445 --> 00:37:20,155
He was not likable.
I mean, it's hard enough --
707
00:37:20,155 --> 00:37:21,948
Think about it.
You're a prosecutor
708
00:37:21,948 --> 00:37:24,951
and you're trying to convince
the jury -- "This scumbag
709
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:28,037
who has killed 43 people
is now gonna testify against
710
00:37:28,037 --> 00:37:32,584
some other guy who maybe killed
one or two people."
711
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:33,835
-There's a story that,
712
00:37:33,835 --> 00:37:36,629
as Yves Trudeau
was leaving the box,
713
00:37:36,629 --> 00:37:41,050
that he turned to the bikers
and he did rat-a-tat-a-tat.
714
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,803
Basically, you know,
"I'm getting you."
715
00:37:45,054 --> 00:37:48,558
-In many, many cases
where he testified, uh,
716
00:37:48,558 --> 00:37:50,518
the trials went south,
717
00:37:50,518 --> 00:37:54,522
but many other Hells Angels
are sent to jail on long,
718
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:56,900
long, long prison sentences.
719
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:59,027
And Yves Trudeau,
after seven years,
720
00:37:59,027 --> 00:38:01,237
is quietly let out of prison
721
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:06,493
and quietly hidden
under witness protection.
722
00:38:06,493 --> 00:38:10,955
And then in 2004,
Yves Trudeau will be arrested
723
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:14,626
for sexually assaulting
a young boy.
724
00:38:15,877 --> 00:38:21,090
He's brought to trial, and he's
a shell of the man he once was.
725
00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:23,968
And in a few months,
he dies of cancer.
726
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:27,972
And for many of the families
of his innocent victims,
727
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:31,226
they felt that there was
a kind of justice finally.
728
00:38:34,521 --> 00:38:37,398
-The legacy of Trudeau
is that he was one of the first
729
00:38:37,398 --> 00:38:39,609
to turn his back on the patch,
730
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:42,570
and that provides an example
731
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:47,659
for future police investigators
to be able to point and say,
732
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:50,745
"Hey, the brotherhood is
not as strong as you think it is
733
00:38:50,745 --> 00:38:52,580
because others have done this."
734
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:55,041
-In the aftermath
of the Lennoxville Massacre,
735
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:58,086
you had 50 members
of the Hells Angels --
736
00:38:58,086 --> 00:39:00,797
19 of them
would end up going to prison,
737
00:39:00,797 --> 00:39:02,966
and another 13 were in hiding
738
00:39:02,966 --> 00:39:07,428
trying to dodge
being apprehended.
739
00:39:07,428 --> 00:39:10,431
-That created a power vacuum
that was filled very quickly
740
00:39:10,431 --> 00:39:13,643
and very readily by two
very different personalities --
741
00:39:13,643 --> 00:39:15,436
Walter Stadnick,
742
00:39:15,436 --> 00:39:18,439
who was seen
as a businessman biker
743
00:39:18,439 --> 00:39:20,942
from Ontario,
and "Mom" Boucher,
744
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:25,905
who was seen
as a charismatic muscle man.
745
00:39:25,905 --> 00:39:29,367
-So there was no longer
this war within the Hells Angels
746
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,160
with North fighting South.
747
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,455
Now you had "Nurget"
and "Mom" deciding
748
00:39:34,455 --> 00:39:38,293
to come together to put
the final nails in the coffin
749
00:39:38,293 --> 00:39:40,753
of the Outlaws in Montreal.
750
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:48,136
-What happened
with the Lennoxville Massacre
751
00:39:48,136 --> 00:39:51,848
in regards to the overall
Hells Angels organization,
752
00:39:51,848 --> 00:39:54,684
it can't be overstated
that it changed everything.
753
00:39:54,684 --> 00:39:57,604
-The biker world
in Montreal was in chaos.
754
00:39:57,604 --> 00:40:00,273
-But there's never a vacuum
for long in the crime world.
755
00:40:00,273 --> 00:40:01,691
Maurice "Mom" Bouchet
756
00:40:01,691 --> 00:40:05,194
and a character named
Salvatore Cazzetta
757
00:40:05,194 --> 00:40:09,073
got their start in the SS.
758
00:40:10,033 --> 00:40:14,370
The SS was comprised
of a bunch of ignorant,
759
00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:19,250
illiterate kids who loved
the pageantry of the SS,
760
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:22,086
but I don't think
they really thought
761
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:25,548
through the principles
of Nazism.
762
00:40:25,548 --> 00:40:27,508
-"Mom" Boucher left the SS
763
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:29,761
because
the leadership of the SS --
764
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:32,513
him and Salvatore Cazzetta --
765
00:40:32,513 --> 00:40:35,933
disagreed over
the Lennoxville Massacre.
766
00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:39,771
Cazzetta thought it was
too brutal killing your own.
767
00:40:39,771 --> 00:40:43,816
โชโช
768
00:40:43,816 --> 00:40:46,402
-Salvatore Cazzetta says,
769
00:40:46,402 --> 00:40:48,363
"This breaks the rules
of brotherhood.
770
00:40:48,363 --> 00:40:51,115
I want nothing
to do with a gang like this,"
771
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:56,371
and Salvatore Cazzetta will go
off and create the Rock Machine.
772
00:40:56,371 --> 00:40:59,082
But Maurice "Mom" Boucher
is enthralled.
773
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:02,126
In fact, his only criticism
of the Hells Angels leaders
774
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:04,671
is that they let
too many other guys go.
775
00:41:04,671 --> 00:41:06,798
They should have killed
more people.
776
00:41:08,424 --> 00:41:11,886
-The Lennoxville Massacre put
"Mom" Boucher on a fast track
777
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:16,516
to take over
the Quebec Hells Angels faction,
778
00:41:17,225 --> 00:41:21,771
because Stadnick recognized
that only somebody
779
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:24,691
like a "Mom" Boucher
could put it all back together.
780
00:41:24,691 --> 00:41:28,486
Somebody with that type
of force of personality.
781
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:34,075
โชโช
782
00:41:34,075 --> 00:41:38,955
-Cocaine comes on the scene
in the '70s and '80s.
783
00:41:38,955 --> 00:41:42,583
There is an absolute fortune
to be made.
784
00:41:45,128 --> 00:41:48,965
Cocaine will explode in a way
no other drug has.
785
00:41:51,384 --> 00:41:53,594
Maurice "Mom" Boucher,
Walter Stadnick
786
00:41:53,594 --> 00:41:55,430
and a few of their friends
create
787
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:58,057
what was called Le Tab,
the table,
788
00:41:58,057 --> 00:42:00,143
and all the cocaine
had to go through them.
789
00:42:00,143 --> 00:42:03,479
That's where Walter Stadnick
and Maurice "Mom" Bouchet
790
00:42:03,479 --> 00:42:08,192
begin to collaborate
and become almost inseparable.
791
00:42:08,192 --> 00:42:11,529
-Walter Stadnick,
he was the brains behind it.
792
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:14,824
He was the brains.
"Mom" was the brawn.
793
00:42:14,824 --> 00:42:16,784
And that's
how they came together, right?
794
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:18,995
[ Motorcycle engines revving ]
795
00:42:22,331 --> 00:42:28,337
-Stadnick and "Mom" Boucher
took a real personal interest
796
00:42:28,337 --> 00:42:33,634
in rebuilding the kingdom,
replenishing the ranks,
797
00:42:33,634 --> 00:42:37,263
and there's no better way
to rally the troops
798
00:42:37,263 --> 00:42:39,307
than to find a common enemy.
799
00:42:39,307 --> 00:42:43,102
It was an easy sell
for Boucher and "Nurget"
800
00:42:43,102 --> 00:42:46,481
to tell the rank and file,
"Let's stop fighting each other
801
00:42:46,481 --> 00:42:49,484
and go back at war
with the Outlaws
802
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:53,905
and declare Quebec a
Hells Angels only territory."
803
00:42:53,905 --> 00:42:56,699
It was a bloody, bloody affair.
804
00:42:56,699 --> 00:43:02,079
By the '90s, the Outlaws were
no longer in Montreal.
805
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:05,333
-The Hells in Montreal
then became super powerful.
806
00:43:05,333 --> 00:43:07,585
By the 1990s,
807
00:43:07,585 --> 00:43:10,546
the Hells Angels were up against
another group, the Rock Machine.
808
00:43:10,546 --> 00:43:12,507
They hated each other,
809
00:43:12,507 --> 00:43:14,217
and each wanted control
of drugs in Montreal.
810
00:43:14,217 --> 00:43:16,469
And that became the next war.
811
00:43:16,469 --> 00:43:18,221
-The Hells Angels,
812
00:43:18,221 --> 00:43:19,931
they would go to war
with the Rock Machine
813
00:43:19,931 --> 00:43:22,809
in another epic
biblical conflict
814
00:43:22,809 --> 00:43:26,103
that left hundreds of bodies
in their wake.
815
00:43:29,065 --> 00:43:32,944
-The Quebec biker war
of the 1990s was terrifying.
816
00:43:32,944 --> 00:43:37,615
You had car bombs, you had
shootings, you had knife wounds.
817
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:40,076
-This bloody biker war
has become a constant source
818
00:43:40,076 --> 00:43:42,203
of frustration for police.
819
00:43:42,203 --> 00:43:44,789
-The bikers in Montreal
were out of control.
820
00:43:44,789 --> 00:43:46,207
Out of control.
821
00:43:46,207 --> 00:43:48,584
-The Hells Angels
embark on an enterprise.
822
00:43:48,584 --> 00:43:52,880
It involves the bikers, the
Mexican cartel, and the Mafia.
823
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,883
It will end up being worth
upwards of a billion dollars.
824
00:43:55,883 --> 00:43:58,803
-Suddenly they could
kill anybody anywhere.
