La peur de l'eau (2011) - full transcript

Even when joy tastes of hatred

I can't laugh anymore
Farewell, my pain

FEAR OF WATER

Nice catch, sergeant.

I gave him a warning.

It's lame.

There's nothing to catch
with this weather.

And it doesn't help
with our quota.

That too.

Let's also consider
no one else was on the road.

Correct.



Calling car 1.

Go on.

Car 1 to station,
agent Savoie.

Put the sergeant on,
it's sort of a priority.

Surprenant.
Listening, Majella.

Sergeant, I just got a call
from Roméo Richard himself,

the mayor
of Havre aux Maisons.

His daughter Rosalie
stayed out all night.

We can't file a missing person
report before 48 hours.

If you say so.

Talking about staying out,
your daughter Maude

was seen with Kevin
at the camping

and it was quite...

Majella,



this is not quite relevant
so drop it, OK?

Are you OK, André?

Yes.

I'm OK.

Hey, André.

You're damn pale,

are you sick?

No, I came to see Elise.

That's not my expertise.

But you can come over
for a drink after work.

Bernard, I don't want
to impose myself.

Come on, it's us.

I can't talk to my shrink,
since she's my girlfriend.

See you later, OK?

Great.

Bye, Damien.
See you next week.

Must be the uniform.

Can I see you?

Sure.

Apart from this one,
any other panic attack?

Swimming class.

I took your advice and tried,

but ten feet away from the water,
I was already shaking.

I could see kids
diving next to me

but my feet
were like stuck in cement.

I didn't go back.

Isn't it the way you felt
when Maria left?

What do you mean?

Your paralysis,
your inability to act.

Maybe you're afraid
of your emotions.

Your phobia of water

is a fear of letting go,

of what you would do
if you really listened.

If I really listened...

The only time I did,
I entered the police force.

Look where it got me.

We're all scared, André.

Sometimes, you just need
to take a chance

and don't think too much.

You need to meet someone.

I could introduce you
to a nurse.

We're only separated.

I need to think about Maude.

Maude is 16,
she's not going anywhere.

-I don't see her anymore.
-See?

You need to take care
of yourself.

Did you keep some for me?

No, unfortunately.

You're beautiful.

Isn't she beautiful?

If us two hadn't met,

I'd still be a lonely divorcé

and she'd be an old spinster.

You jerk.

It's time I turn you
into an admirable woman.

Don't you think?

-Now is not the time.
-Your husband.

-Is that a ring...?
-An engagement ring.

-Yes, mister.
-We're getting married.

It's...

I told you the alarm clock
wasn't set properly.

-Hugues has played with it.
-I haven't.

Time to go to bed.

-You're not my mum.
-Don't start.

What's going on?

Put you son to bed, please.

-Sorry, I didn't sleep well.
-Me neither, remember?

It's Rosalie Richard.

Suicide?

If she undressed and tied
her hands before jumping.

Are you OK?

Where is she?
I have to avoid looking down.

Don't overdo it, it's not candy.

Right.

Agent Savoie,

be careful not to impair
the crime scene.

What do you think, Bernard?

I think she was strangled.

Correct.

She has bruises on her vagina.

Bruises on...

Considering the stiffness,
she died about 24 hours ago.

About 24 hours ago.

What should we do?

Don't walk everywhere,
stay in your tracks

or you'll erase the prints.

Be methodical.

I talked to Montreal crime major.
He'll take over.

Lieutenant,
we haven't even started.

It's too big for us.
We never had a crime.

And it's political.

Rosalie!
Where is my Rosalie?

Mr Richard,
you can't stay here.

This is a crime scene.

I don't give a damn
about your crime scene.

You can't stop me
from seeing her.

I repeat,
sleepy sailor, 11.45.

Can you hear me, Albéni?

They're going straight
to le Cap Noir.

Hurry.

The fish.

Welcome to the Magdalen Islands.

Sgt André Surprenant,
agent Geneviève Savoie.

Detective Gingras,
homicide squad.

-You'll be staying...
-Take me to the crime scene.

Come on.

Let's go back to the night
of the crime, Mrs Guignon.

Like I said,

shortly after my man
came back from the pub,

I heard a car go by.

Youngsters often park
by the ocean

to fool around.

Usually,
they make a lot of racket,

but yesterday, nothing,
not a sound.

About 20 minutes later,

the car left with an awful din.

Do you remember what time,
roughly?

Yes, at 2.40 sharp.

I checked the time
when I heard the wheels screech.

The guy must have struggled

to walk back.

That's why I know
it's not someone from here.

It's an outsider for sure.

OK, so the crime happened
between 2.15 and 2.40 am sharp.

Don't walk here.

You did
an awful good job, guys.

-Thank you.
-Apart from your boot prints.

It's the only entire print
out there.

I tried to tell them.

Luckily you didn't park here,
we wouldn't have any tyre prints.

Actually, a witness
heard a vehicle.

Ten year old car,

type Chrystler with a V8
according to the wheelbase.

The guy weights about 250 pounds
and was wearing wellies,

size 11,5. It's a beast.

But if the killer
was carrying the victim,

we need to subtract
the weight of the victim.

Listen André, maybe you should
go visit Roméo Richard,

let him know we're taking care
of his daughter's case.

You know what I mean?

Your remark on the weight
is very relevant, sergeant.

It's not technological,
it's methodical.

What year, do you think?

I would say
more or less recent.

-Tending towards the less recent.
-Indeed.

-It's not to sell.
-Mrs Richard?

She's dead.
I'm Evangéline Arsenou.

Roméo? The police is here.

What are you doing here
now that she's dead?

You had to find her
when I called you.

I'm truly sorry,

but proofs reveal she was
already dead when you called.

My condolences, Mr Richard.

You need to catch
the guy who did it.

If you don't, he's going
to regret the day he was born.

I was wondering...

When did you realise
she was missing?

She went to school
the day before yesterday

and she still wasn't back
yesterday morning.

At first, I wasn't worried.

I called her in the afternoon,

but she didn't pick up.

Did she often, you know...

Sleep somewhere else?

She's not a kid anymore,
if that's what you're asking.

I understand.

I have a daughter too,
but I can't complain.

Any idea
where she spent the night?

Go check at La Caverne.

She spent her nights
taking drugs.

Or she would go to the mainland
and drive around town.

-Don't you have to go to work?
-What?

There's a reason
you cut her off.

Is that her vehicle?

Yes.

I bought it for her birthday
last year.

Before she started
acting stupid.

Is that her boyfriend?

No.

He's my nephew. Emmanuel.

Can we talk to him?

I doubt it.

He hung himself last summer.

Emmanuel Leblanc?

I read the report.

His psychiatrist
is a friend of mine.

The shrink?

Maybe you should check
the psychos who go see her

to find the killer.

Is that her as a kid
in the cabin?

Yes.

My boat, le Cap Noir.

With my cancer,

it could have been Rosalie's.

Excellent.

Shouldn't we let
the others know?

They're busy.

There's nothing wrong
with having the job done.

The trunk is locked.

But not the door.

Door unlocked.

Is it plural? Let's say yes.

We haven't checked
the other door.

I'm going to wait.

André.

Look.

Emmanuel Leblanc again.

Not that.

There's white powder on it.

Cocaine, probably.

Yes, let's have
Montreal technicians examine it.

We won't let them
hold us responsible.

Your methods are not that bad.

Should we listen to it?

To die as a martyr
I feel strong

I'm brushing against
The quicksand of your body

I want to leave the ground

Get lost in your guiding eyes

And drift
Until the sun comes up

She was there.

With Mélanie Ervy
and Stéphane Patten.

Is Stéphane Patten
Rosalie's boyfriend?

No, he's Ervy's boyfriend.

Didn't Rosalie have a boyfriend?

The little devil was popular.

The last one
was Julien Cormier.

She tried to get him out
that night.

Have you noticed
any drug consumption?

What kids do to have fun
is none of my business.

Unless it's in your bar.

You still act like an outsider.

It sticks to you.

If someone dealt drug
in your bar, would you tell me?

Listen André,

you're the police.

Car one to station.

Car one to station?

Station to car one.
Can I help, beautiful sergeant?

Do you know a Julien Cormier?

The loser.

He has a file?

No, but everyone knows him.

He is presumed
to have no current job.

I know what he does.

Majella...

I'm just trying to help.

The guy in question lives
at Chemin des Chalets.

Copy that.

Nice gear
for someone unemployed.

Benefits are high
in the islands.

Well, well.

The islands
shock brigade itself.

You don't seem to affected
by the loss of your girl.

Who told you she was my bird?

Can we come in?

Do you have a warrant?

No need for a warrant
when you're clean.

As you can see,
there's nothing to see.

It's tobacco.

You won't find a thing here.

Witnesses say you argued
with Rosalie at La Caverne.

I said what I had to say
and I left.

What did you talk about?

I wanted to dump her.

The rest is personal.

What did you do afterwards?

I came back here and I watched
a movie with Tête Plate.

Right, Tête Plate?

Yeah.

What's the title?

Porn Identity.

The tart
couldn't remember a thing

but the cocks she had sucked...

OK, we'll manage to find
what time it was with the title.

Write it down, agent Savoie.

Rosalie Richard.

Strangled with the same rope
than the one around her wrists,

with a sailors knot,
a bowline to be more precise.

Her neck was broken afterwards.

Mark of tape on her lips,

probably to prevent her
from screaming.

No blood despite heavy bruises
on her anus,

which means he sodomised her
after she died,

thinking she was
just unconscious.

Penetration of 22 centimetres,
the dirty bugger had a big one.

No sperm, he had the bad idea
of putting a condom,

but we should be able

to identify the brand
with the spermicide.

Woollen thread
from a handmade jacket,

no link
with the victim's clothes.

The assailant was wearing
a blue woollen jacket

with fish blood on it.

After raping her,

he put shells on her body,
as if it was a trophy,

the typical modus operandi
of sexual predators.

Excuse me,

Sergeant Gingras.

Couldn't it be someone

who makes it look
like it's a sexual predator?

I'm curious
to hear your theory, sergeant.

The assailant acted quickly,
it took him 40 minutes max

to catch her
and leave the crime scene.

He didn't really take his time
to rape her.

The victim has
two lethal wounds,

as if murdering her
was the most important thing.

It could be a hate crime
or a rejected lover.

You're thinking about Cormier?

-It could be.
-Did you check the case?

Not really.

Shoe size, weight?

8,5 or 9.

And at least 165 pounds.

I'm telling you,
your suspect is a bad match.

We need facts,

and according to the facts,
the suspect weights 250 pounds,

wears 11,5 wellies,
likes fishing,

has a blue woollen sweater
knitted by his mum

and a big equipment.

We should be able to find him

if we bother to search
for the inhabitants

who have a history
of sexual harassment.

Is that clear?

Sergeant Surprenant,
please show us the vehicle.

We'll be able
to lift fingerprints

and possibly
identify the suspect.

Thank you.

Don't go there.

-I'm sorry.
-No problem.

I was taking the trash out
when I heard a vehicle leave.

What vehicle?

A big pick-up truck.

It was too far,
I couldn't see who it was.

I was sure I locked the doors.

Why the hell didn't you station
an agent nearby

to secure the vehicle?

I thought in the islands...

You may live in a postcard,
you have to follow the procedure.

Everybody, search the rest.

The one who started the fire
wanted to erase clues

and he might have failed.

If we find one clue in this mess,
I'll have braces fit in.

Do you want my fist
in your face?

Chill out, Savoie.

Calm down, agent Savoie.
It's my fault.

I'm your superior,

I shouldn't have dragged you
into my indiscipline.

It's not your fault either.

It's our first murder case.

André.

I managed for you
not to have a bad evaluation,

but maybe you should
step backwards for a while.

Give the Montreal guy
some space.

I'm here.

You're home early.

-Everything OK?
-Yes.

Did you eat?

Some pizza.

Excellent.

This is Kevin.

Nice to meet you.

What?

Nothing.

OK, so...
Don't stay out too late.

We're not out.

Correct.

Fuck.

Hello, radio of the islands.

Regarding
Rosalie Richard's murder,

Grindstone Island security
has issued a statement.

They are looking
for a big American car.

The wanted vehicle
could also be stained with mud.

According to a woman
who lives on Chemin Boudreau,

the car would have caused
a racket at 10 in the morning.

If you have information
about this vehicle,

please report it to...

It's the list
of the witnesses

for the reconstruction.

Excellent.

You're not checking it?

I trust you.

Yes?

I know you like date squares

so I made you some.

Thank you, you're lovely.

It's quite bad for braces.

Good for me,
I don't like sugar.

Very good.

Nice change.

-Did you have something to say?
-I can't give you any advice,

but it has to be
about an inheritance.

I wouldn't be surprised
if it's the motive.

Interesting lead,

but you should tell
Detective Gingras.

without little Rosalie,

only two could inherit
his beautiful boat.

The big Evangéline,
who was there before

he was a widower.

-Majella, I really need...
-Albéni Thériault.

He steers Le Cap Noir
now that Roméo can't.

The permit would cost a lot,
since the boat

apparently
doesn't just fish crab.

This doesn't come from me.

Really?

What's his name?

Albéni Thériault.

Nice catch.

We don't sell,
go to the warehouse.

That's not why I'm here.

I have a couple
of questions for...

Albin...

Albéni.

Thériault. Right.

About Rosalie Richard.

I have nothing to do with it.

If you need a warrant...

And the night of the murder?

I was at sea,
if that's what you want to know.

Were you?

What do you fish at night?

Fish. All sorts of fish.

I thought le Cap Noir
only fished crab.

You're investigating on Rosalie
or my boat?

Is the boat still Mr Richard's?

No difference.

We need to diversify.

What will you do when Mr Richard,
your boss, retires?

I'll do the same.

OK, but what if Mrs...

Mrs Arsenou inherits
the fishing permit?

I'll never work for this bitch.

Would you have worked
for his daughter?

It's too late to ask that.

Was Rosalie interested

in fishing?

Enough to know it was her bread.

It is a beautiful job.

But it's a bit dirty.

Alert to car one.

Sergeant Surprenant, listening.
Over, Majella.

Martha Petitpas
from l'Etang-des-Caps

wants to talk to you.

She might have found
the crime car.

Excellent.

Does Gingras know?

He's locked himself in
and doesn't want to be bothered.

Perfect, tell agent Savoie
we're out for patrol.

It's here.

I called you in.

I think someone took my car
that night.

Was it washed?

My husband Alcide
removed the dirt.

The mud surprised me,

I hadn't taken it
since before the storm.

The one who took it

has really small legs.

The seat was moved forward
to the maximum.

André.

Here, it looks like blood.

Correct.

It could be anyone.

We hang all our keys here,
right at the entrance.

I didn't hear a thing,
I take sleeping pills.

The lady psychiatrist
prescribed it for my anxiety.

Could someone else in this house
take it without telling you?

No, my husband has a truck

and he wouldn't have heard,
the basement is soundproof.

He spends all night
on the Internet.

Can we talk to him?

He's at work,
he's the school janitor.

School?

Yes, and he's been overwhelmed
by what happened

to the kid.

He knew her,
so you can imagine.

He wouldn't like us
going to his basement.

It's just to check
if we can hear.

I can tell
you don't know him.

Who's that?

I'll close the door.
You won't hear a thing.

I saw this on TV.

What if she comes back?

Hold her back.

André!

You can't do that.

Let him go!

Alcide Petitpas,
you're under arrest

for the murder
of Rosalie Richard.

She was a slut
who slept with everyone.

No one deserves to die
at this age.

Not like this.

Alcide.

Calm down now.

You really want
to blow the case.

You wanted to arrest a suspect
behind my back

and enter without a warrant.

Thanks to my call and
the identification of the car,

agent Savoie and I
thought it was urgent

to arrest him,
and the operation was a success.

The suspect seems to match
the assailant's profile.

"The suspect seems to match
the assailant's

profile."

You really are
a small town officer.

Be polite, sergeant.
You haven't found the suspect...

-You've got the wrong guy.
-Excuse me?

You've got the wrong guy.

Damien Lapierre
grew up in foster care

in Montreal.

Convicted four times for rape
before he was 20.

The victims
were 13 to 17 years' old.

His latest victim was tied up
and raped repeatedly.

That's what we call
a modus operandi.

Released from prison in 2006,
settled in the islands in 2007,

next to his ant and uncle,
Martha and Alcide Petitpas.

Yes indeed.

Police!

Open up.

Try the handle, dammit.

All clear.

You're in deep shit.

Stop.

Stop, now!

It's not me.
I can't even get hard!

We couldn't have known.

We're a team,
I'm to blame as much as you.

No.

No, I'm...

Maybe the reconstruction
will show something.

Gingras isn't even interested.

He's already found
his culprit.

I have a bit
of Scotch left inside.

Didn't you say you were tired?

No, I'm not tired.

Well, if you're not...

-I'm sorry.
-If you have no choice...

Hi, how are you?

Good, and you?
Am I bothering you?

No, I was just going home.

Where are you?

Now? I'm leaving the station.

Do you mind
if I call you back?

Is someone with you?

No, I'm with no one.

It's just that
I'm in the car.

OK, call me back
when you have time.

OK, bye.

I'm staying over at Kevin's.

Are you handling things
with Maude?

Yes, she's finishing
her homework

and then she'll go to bed.

André, I know you have
a big investigation...

I do.

Maybe you can be promoted.

Yes, maybe.

When you're done,
will you come see me in Montreal?

So we can talk.

Even visit houses together.

Everyone deserves
a second chance.

Yes. It's a good idea.

Don't be too late.

OK, I promise.

Midnight.

That's when we arrived
with Rosalie.

Agent Savoie,

you will play Rosalie.

Everyone, agent Savoie
is playing Rosalie Richard.

What did you do?

We ordered beers. A tray.

Was Rosalie nervous?
Different?

She was in a good mood.

The best
since Manu's funeral.

Did she take drugs
in the car, by any chance?

She might have.

If Manu was born
somewhere else,

he would have been famous.
-Like Kurt Cobain.

He didn't have to die
to be listened to.

I would have listened to him.

He couldn't be reasoned
now that he was in love.

If we knew who it was,
we could find his song book.

I know.

Cool, I can play his tunes.

He wouldn't have died
for nothing.

Tray.

Can you stop serving?
It's just a reconstruction.

12.15 am.

What are you doing here?

I reconstruct,
like everyone else.

She was on the list.

What were you doing
with Rosalie Richard?

I came to see her briefly

and I left, that's all.

We'll talk about it at home.

12.30 am.

That's when
Julien Cormier arrived.

Where the hell is Cormier?

OK, I'm going to play him.
Everyone, I'm Julien Cormier.

What did he do?

He came up behind Rosalie.

Like that?

-Yes.
-And then?

Then he put his arms around her
and whispered in her ear.

-What about?
-Sex, I guess.

As usual.

Let go!

You're going to pay for this.

I'll pay you soon.

I always pay.

She kept on checking the time.

And then she left.

I didn't see her leave.

But since
she wasn't coming back

and she had left
her cell phone here,

I took it with me.

Did someone see her leave?

I did.

I went out almost after her.

You followed her?

I thought she would smoke.

Smoke what?

A cigarette.

You're so finicky, André!

And then?

There was no one
when I came out.

Had she been in her car,
I would have seen her,

so I went back in.

Damn it, Platon!

A girl died just because
you wanted to get high.

I didn't kill her, you idiot.

I'm talking about the bar.

Half of the customers
are underage.

-They have fake IDs...
-I'm not talking about beer.

You'd better clean your rat hole
or I'll do it,

and for good, OK?

McCann,

send everyone home
but check their IDs first.

I have things to do.

Yes, sergeant.

I'm proud of you, André.

-Good, I'm not done yet.
-What do you mean?

Rosalie came here
to meet someone she knew.

I really don't see her
asking Damien Lapierre.

At 3, we get in.

One...

-Two...
-André.

What?

I'm not mad
about yesterday night.

Excellent, but let's talk
about it after work, OK?

Three.

Geneviève.

Does RR
remind you of someone?

-Rosalie Richard?
-Correct.

And 3200.

-That's it?
-No.

CN 2K S13.

-CN.
-2K...

Two kilos. S13...

Hey, It's private here.

CN 2K S13.
What does it mean exactly?

That it's none
of your business.

I guess RR
stands for Rosalie Richard.

It's "Rain, rain, go away".

3200 dollars is good enough
for drugs.

It's got nothing to do
with drugs.

Agent Savoie,
search the vehicle.

Aren't those the keys
of a car that burned recently?

-Excellent reflex, agent Savoie.
-Thanks, sergeant.

It's funny.

I closed the car and found it
open after it burned.

A witness saw a truck
like yours.

The Montreal team is good
at identifying tyre marks.

You erased your prints
after the murder.

-Don't blame me for her death.
-I'm not stupid, OK?

I take you to the station
right now

if you don't tell me
want you wanted to hide from us.

Something was mine.

The cocaine? Speak!

Rosalie was dealing for you
and hiding it in her car?

She used more than she dealt
so you argued in the bar.

-You waited outside and did it.
-I didn't.

OK, I did argue with her,

but that's it.

She's the mayor's daughter

and since he's a fisherman,
he always did as he wished.

Stop dusting your nose
with your friends

and pay what you owe me.

I'll pay you soon.
What are you afraid of?

Good, or the teacher
will bleed to death.

You wouldn't do that.

You need me too much, Julien.

What does he give you
that I don't?

Let go!
I'll pay you soon.

I always pay.

She had a nice ass.

She would get me jealous
with a French teacher.

I'm just the son
of a fisherman.

The name of the teacher?

Flaherty.

Tell him I'm sending you.

What?

Nothing.

It's just nice to be respected
once in a while.

Not just once in a while,
don't you think?

How come
we haven't arrested Cormier?

To keep him next to me.

Small fish always lead
to big fish.

Where were you
at that time?

And you?

I'm entitled to know

what my daughter does at night.

I don't ask you anything.

Do you mind?

You didn't tell me
you knew Rosalie Richard.

So what?

She was selling you drugs?

My shrink
doesn't give me drugs.

But it's not...

Do you want
to end up like her?

No, I don't want
to bury myself here.

So it's not good enough
for you either?

Or you suck too much
for Montreal.

What are you talking about?

Mum says you're here because
you can't work in the city.

I could work anywhere!

I came to the islands
to give you

a better life.

Did you?

Well, Mum left
and I'll go to her.

But you have to finish school.

Why Montreal? It's full of...

Yes, it's full of stuff.

It's not my fault
if you want nothing.

Jacques Flaherty?

It's me.

She was a big girl.

Maybe, but my daughter
is about to enter high school...

When Rosalie was sulking,

it was hard to resist,
believe me.

What were you doing
on Thursday night?

The night of the murder.

I don't have an alibi
if that's what you want to know.

I was home, waiting for her.

Did you have a date?

She was meant to come
late in the evening.

She told me she had something
to take care of,

but she never came.

When was the last time
you saw her?

Wednesday morning.

After our last night together.

What are you doing?

Printing a memory.

You found Manu's writing
in my stuff?

Yes.

Listen to this.

"My thirst is like water

Flowing under my skin.

A wave lost in your flood.

Dying on an island
I am the sailor

Of useless joys."

I remember,
I gave him an A for this.

"Useless joys".

He shouldn't have had
to pay the price.

Will you ever forget him?

Never.

He's dead.

I want to avenge him.

Don't go.

When you read his notebook,

you'll realise he's a better poet
than you, even dead.

Manu wrote his songs

in a book
that he always kept with him.

He was my best student.

Rosalie loved her cousin.

Was she in love?

I was competing
with a dead guy.

For her, Manu would always be
young and beautiful.

Now, it's Rosalie
who will never age.

Jot this down.

It confirms
the Modus Operandi theory.

He left his signature
on Rosalie Richard.

I'm also writing
that the shells on her body

were dirty and chipped

whereas these ones
are impeccable.

I'm going to search the bedroom.

Sergeant.

For a sexual predator,

it's a bit embarrassing.

Yes indeed.

We're not going to find
the condoms he used in here.

Instead of talking bullshit,

make yourself useful.

Did you know that the culprit
was chemically castrated?

Who said he was taking them?

It can be verified
with his therapist.

For various reasons,
I can't see him as the murderer.

Such as?

Such as the fact that Rosalie
knew her assailant.

And Damien Lapierre
grew up in Montreal,

he doesn't know a thing
about knots.

He's 6 feet tall
and the car was too close...

Or you can't take orders
on how to do your job.

Boss, we've found the jacket.

I bet we have a perfect match
for the fibres and the wellies.

Stop looking, Sherlock.

We have enough
to get him by the balls.

I still want to question
his therapist.

-Do I have your permission?
-No.

You don't have my permission.

It's an order.

Good. Take your time.

Hey, André.

Congratulations,
I heard the news.

Thanks.

It's a small world.
Elise can't believe it.

She feels guilty.

Actually,
I need to talk to her.

She's on the boat, her refuge.

When things were tough,
she was always there.

You've got 2 minutes?

Are these your wellies?

Yes.

Where did you get them?

At the store.
They're ordinary.

You knew
Rosalie Richard, right?

Yes. And so?

Did you know her well?

She asked me once
for a prescription.

Did you examine her?

I probably did.
Why do you ask?

I'm just surprised
you never told me.

Why would I do that?

I'm investigating on her murder.

I thought you had found
this psychopath.

Did your relationship
go further?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

She was a beautiful girl

and you told me
things were bad with Elise.

It's not because
your wife left that...

You called her that night?

No, I didn't.

Then why does your name come up
on her cell phone?

I never spoke to her,
I was on the boat that night.

Any idea why she called?

I'm a doctor, loads of people
call me, including you.

-What were you doing that night?
-Sleeping.

Even better, Elise had
an asthma attack.

-You can check with her.
-What time?

2.30 am.
I know because she asked me.

Excellent.

No hard feelings?

Damn you, André.

It's the first time you act
like a policeman.

You really think
Damien is innocent?

Yes, but I have doubts.

It would be such a relief.

But I need you to give me
his medical file.

I'm not allowed, you know.

Was he taking his medication?

I think he was,
there's no sign of a relapse.

That's excellent.

Were you by any chance up
the night of the crime?

Yes I was.
I had an asthma attack.

Around what time?

About 2.30 am. Why?

Was Bernard up too?

I woke him up
so he could give me my inhaler.

Does it matter?

Not really.

I was just wondering

if maybe you saw or heard
the Petitpas' car

from your place.

No. I would have told you.

You also treated
Emmanuel Leblanc, right?

Yeah. I did what I could.

Did you know about
his relationship with Rosalie?

Manu told me they grew up
like brother and sister,

but that things got complicated
as teenagers.

Interesting.

And Rosalie never came
to your office?

No. I met her
at Emmanuel's funeral.

She was troubled.

Aggressive, even.

I want to know why.

Why did he do that?

Rosalie, right?

Emmanuel told me about you.

What did he tell you
that he didn't tell me?

Unfortunately,
I can't help you with that.

What is said in my office
stays confidential.

It can't be. It can't be.

Don't beat yourself up.

You can come see me.

It would do you good
to speak to someone.

Why?

What did you do
to help him?

He loved someone else.

I know it.
You can't hide it from me.

He loved you very much.

Emmanuel was like
a small wounded animal.

That's what made him
so endearing.

You couldn't get too close
or he would bite.

Rosalie wasn't spared.

You're making progress.

Why?

You're on a boat.

On water.

Your messages.

By the way,

you shouldn't leave your car
parked anywhere at night.

People could talk.

-Who is on duty?
-No one.

Except for the lieutenant,
he's out for a death report.

Nothing unusual.

A delivery guy found the old
Langford dead in his lounge.

Thanks.

Hi, the islands' hospital.

Yes.

Everybody has left.

We're sending it to the lab,

but according to the analysis,
it's a match.

Could you...

Listen, about yesterday...

Yes?

I would like to...

-What?
-I think we...

I think that
we should be careful.

Yes. I understand.

OK, I...

Geneviève.

Yes?

Could you identify
all the numbers in there?

You still don't think
it's Lapierre?

Correct.

I think you're being stubborn
just to piss him off.

Could we meet
after work tonight?

We could check
the phone numbers together.

I've put the picture
with it.

No notebook?

I'm gonna get that bitch!

The bitch?

It might be me.

If you came home at normal hours

and walked properly,
you wouldn't bang into things.

How dare you?

When he dies,
you'll just take off.

What makes you say
it's going to happen here?

Because I'm his flesh
and blood.

You're wasting your time
with him.

It's better than wasting
your life powdering your nose.

I'll do what I please
with my share.

What makes you say
you're still on the will?

You bitch!

Do you know
what's in the will

of your partner?

If the culprit wasn't arrested,
I would think I'm a suspect.

-You're a nurse at the hospital.
-That's how we met.

The poor man
needed some help.

-This is not a crime.
-Maybe not.

But around here,
people still badmouth about it.

Did Rosalie call you
at the hospital on Thursday?

She wasn't in the habit
of calling me for no reason.

Here again, Surprenant?

I thought
your investigation was over.

I still have a few details

to take care of.

Albéni told me you came snooping
on le Cap Noir.

Nice boat.

I heard it costs
over a million.

He has the usufruct?

He gives me my share
of the catch.

Have your been on your boat
recently?

No need to get there
to know Albéni can steer it.

You're not very curious.

Judging from this,

Rosalie was more curious
than you.

But she wouldn't have been
as easy a boss as you.

You're mislead, Surprenant.

You've got the culprit.

Everybody knew Lapierre
wasn't normal, except for you.

I'm just saying that...

Rosalie's death is convenient.

Let's say Rosalie heard her drug
came from le Cap Noir.

She wanted a bigger share
of the catch than her father.

So Cormier and Thériault

have a reason
to get rid of her.

As well as Evangéline Arsenou.

She would inherit.

-But she's a woman.
-Correct.

Maybe she had an accomplice.

You can kill for love, too.

Flaherty.

No, he would have found
an alibi.

Why can't it just be
a sexual crime?

I think someone wants
to put the blame on Lapierre.

Straight off the bat,
everybody accused him.

Here. Your list.

You...

I just had some Cherry left.

At least it's sweet.

You're beautiful.

What's going on?

Hello?

Majella,
sorry to call you so early,

but the old guy who had a stroke
was a Langford, right?

It's just because it's you.

Cornélius Langford.

What was his job?

He was retired, but he was
the mechanics on le Cap Noir.

Thanks.

You'd better have
a good explanation.

He was murdered,
that's for sure.

I'm listening.

He was working on le Cap Noir,
the boat of Rosalie's dad.

They collect drugs,
it can't be a coincidence.

Sorry André,
but I don't follow.

The mayor
of Havre aux Maisons?

Yes. Can you show me
where you found the body?

He was lying on his stomach,
just here.

Struggle marks?

André, it's not
my first statement.

Have you seen
how clean the floor is?

As if someone
had erased all trace.

Here she is.

Have you found the body?

Yes. It's embalmed.

-Shit.
-But...

I have
the embalmer's testimony:

"Mr Langford had a bruise
on his left frontal lobe".

It's consistent
with my findings.

He had a heart attack
and fell head first.

That's how I found him.

Nothing else?

Plus a bruise
on the back of his neck.

This doesn't kill a man.

Yes, but it could be
a needle mark.

We have to do an autopsy.

I doubt we learn something.

To commit a crime,
you need a motive,

and I can't see any.

André?

This.

Check this out.

I found this picture
of le Cap Noir

in Rosalie Richard's bedroom.

It was taken here.

Langford must have
given it to her.

It proves she was connected.

That's right.

It's the same angle.

You said he was
their employee.

He could just take a picture
of the boat.

Because it's a look-out, OK?

You see everything from here,
you can keep on eye

on the ocean
to spot coast guards

while the boat brings drugs,

on the harbour for the police,
and if there's a problem,

you let the crew know.

For me, this is just
the picture of a boat.

The mayor's boat.

The mayor was too sick
to deal with it himself.

Have you got proof?

Not yet,
but with a surveillance team,

we could...

Surprenant, I'm off to Montreal
tomorrow with a suspect

who almost left a sign
saying he's guilty.

You can speak as much as you want
about your theory.

When I write my report,

I'll have you work here
for a very long time.

I might be biased,

but I believe you.

I know it's hard to believe.

The boat
is not even centred.

But still...

Hurry.

Emmanuel Leblanc's cabin.

We're boiling.

Geneviève,

go back to the station
and compare it

with the condom used
to rape Rosalie.

Also get the file
on Emmanuel Leblanc's suicide.

Le Cap Noir
just killed someone else.

Correct.

Get out
and put your hands up!

Cormier confessed.

Albéni Thériault is in
for drug import.

Congratulations, André.

-You were right about the drug.
-Not only.

Thériault might be connected
to three murders.

Rosalie Richard,

Emmanuel Leblanc
and Cornélius Langford.

I did ask for an autopsy

that revealed he was injected
a curariform drug.

I wouldn't jump
to conclusions.

Thériault might handle a hook,
it's not a needle.

But he did attack
a police officer.

Rosalie Richard
was in his way.

Cormier was sending her
to the mainland to deal drugs,

but had she inherited the boat,
she would have been the boss.

Langford?

An embarrassing witness.

You still have
Emmanuel Leblanc.

I admit I haven't found yet,

but he might just be
an unintentional witness.

You'll find something,
I trust you.

Me too.

Here is his file, sergeant.

There's a match

between the condoms
in Emmanuel Leblanc's cabin

and the ones used
on Rosalie Richard.

Hey.

Bernard told me
I could find you here.

I was tidying a bit
before cleaning up the dry deck.

Can we talk?

As always.

I was making myself
some coffee. Hop in.

Why not?

I think I solved
Rosalie Richard's murder.

Did you?

Yeah.

For once, I trusted myself.

It did me some good.

I even think that
I'm a good officer now.

That's good news.

I'm happy for you.

I don't know, Elise.

How long was your relationship
with Emmanuel Leblanc?

Who told you about it?

No one.

I was confused,
I didn't know what to do.

I don't even remember
how it started.

But Cornélius Langford saw you.

He thought it would count
for Rosalie,

who would inherit
le Cap Noir.

When Rosalie realised
you were the one Emmanuel loved,

she wanted you to pay.

So you killed her.

Come on,
you're talking nonsense.

I'm not.

The day she died,
Rosalie called you twice,

at the hospital
and at your place.

You treat Martin Petitpas
and Damien Lapierre,

you could access their file,
their private life, their habits.

We both know Damien Lapierre
is responsible.

He's the perfect culprit.

So you took his jacket
and wellies and Petitpas' car,

but you forgot
to push the seat back.

And the shells you left
on Rosalie were dirty.

You should have known
Damien cleaned his.

And I raped her?

With a stick and a condom

of the same brand
you used with Emmanuel.

Bernard can testify,
I was with him.

Right, the asthma attack.

You made sure
that Bernard checks the time.

You set the time on your alarm
to create an alibi,

but you made a mistake
and it rang 12 hours later,

when I was there.

Interesting.

How did you come up
with all this?

I saw Hugues
wearing Bernard's wellies.

I thought a woman could do
the same with Lapierre's.

And killing Langford with a shot
required a doctor.

I got the missing clue
from him.

The picture he gave Rosalie.

The answer was on it,

but I just saw it.

Your boat is next
to le Cap Noir.

You don't usually park
by his cabin.

What does it prove?

The date and hour on the side.

It's the day Emmanuel died.

He's holding your hand.

It's a duplicate.

Good evening, doctor.

Rosalie?

You're not answering my calls?

I told you,
you need to make an appointment.

So that you fuck me up
and I hang myself too?

Good riddance, right?

I did everything I could
to help Manu.

But he was sick.

Manu wasn't sicker
than you and me.

Unless loving on old bag
like you is a sickness.

A lot of patients fall in love
with their therapist.

But how many therapists sleep
with their young patient, doctor?

-You don't understand.
-No.

I don't understand.

I would have given him
everything. Everything!

He was my Manu.

My love.

With me, he'd still be laughing
and writing.

But he had to love you.

-Rosalie...
-No!

You'll pay, bitch.

I'll never let you forget
he died because of you,

do you hear me?

Never!

Well done.

You've become a good cop.

How did you do it for him?

Sleeping pills.

Was the suicide note
a song from his notebook?

I was so intoxicated by him.

If you knew how he was like.

He could be so radiant

and so excessive
at the same time.

I lost it completely.

I wanted to stop
but he didn't.

He wanted to tell everyone.

I couldn't let him
destroy it all.

People need me.

You know how much
people need me, André.

Do you understand?

Tell me you understand.

It's OK if you want to study
in Montreal.

I'll work it out
with your mother.

-Well done.
-Thank you.

Good job, André.

-André...
-Geneviève...

You go first.

Listen, I have things
to take care of.

Yes. I understand.

But if...

Correct.

I owe you an apology,
Surprenant.

What for?

Once I've taken care
of the paperwork in Montreal,

you could stay.

How about being
a criminal investigator?

Thank you.

But I think
you were right, Gingras.

I'm a village officer.

I belong here.
