"You won't change your mind?" "You won't be able to avoid jail." "You're not a lawyer." "I want to ask questions." "Do you realize this isn't a game?" "You already got a taste of prison." "It's not much fun for someone like you." "Once you're sentenced, you won't be under protection." "Get someone to defend you." "You can't do it alone." "You're not always with it, you know?" "You're smart, but when you're upset, you clue out." "Who could defend me better?" "You need help." "You need to be in a hospital, not a jail." "I'll win, and I'll get out." "You're making a mistake." "You're the one who needs help, not me." "Why do you say that?" "I heard it in the way you described me." "You said there's something in my veins." "Are you taping?" "I don't have my machine." "The judge won't know what I say?" "I might tell her, but I won't have any proof." "The difference with me is, you know what I did." "I've got nothing to hide." "There's a difference between private lives and 13 murders." "It's not the same." "My life is my own." "The rest is that you came to me, since you couldn't kill anymore." "Defending yourself is suicide." "You have a dark character." "One side of you is bright, but the other is dark." "I'll win my case, then I'll kill you." "Daddy's here." "Don't be scared." "I won't let her get away with it." "Remember my last competition?" "That big gold one?" "I won because you were there." "Your mom's friends turned her against me." "But you'll see, we'll change her mind." "We're a family." "We'll never be separated, I swear." "God brought us together." "Families stay together." " Hey, Jean-Marie..." " Yeah?" "Get the files I need for court." "You riding with him?" "Want me to testify for you?" "Why?" "You might punch Dupont." " Parent!" " Yes?" " Bring Fortier." " She's with the guy..." " Bring her." " l will." "Go get her!" "I'm gone!" "Let's go, gentlemen..." "Why do you want to kill me?" "Your parents' triangle doesn't involve me." "It does now." "With me..." "You and me makes two." "Three with the judge." "Nothing you say makes any sense." "How will you question us?" "You can't control yourself." "I'll ask questions, you'll answer." "I'll tell you something:" "Most people don't know how anyone can become like you." "It's easy." "Another thing:" "They can't imagine why I care." "I know things about your life." "You know nothing about my life." "But you're still human, though what you did is horrible." "I can't treat you like an animal." "Why aren't you like the others?" "Because people count on me." "They want answers to reassure them." "They want me to explain this horror." "Otherwise, it's too scary." "People like you... no words can describe." "You're intelligent." "That's why I'm explaining what will happen in court." "You know why it's important?" "What's important?" "Life's as much of a problem for you as for me." "We're alive, we're dead." "We're alive, we're dead." "It's disconcerting when the accused defend themselves." "What's disconcerting?" "Dupont defending himself," " or the person he is?" " Both." "I asked Fortier to get him to hire a lawyer." "If he doesn't change his mind, it's a stalemate." "What do you think?" "Since when do judges give prosecutors leads?" "Today I can't, I'm busy all day." "Mrs. Lemire's moving out." "Could you see Julie tomorrow?" "We'll meet at her mother's?" "I can't promise." "We've got the Dupont hearing." "Did you try Social Services again?" "They're too busy and too slow." "I'll call them when I get a sec." "You took the case." "Find time." "is he bullying you?" "He's right, though..." "The truck's on its way." "Be polite with the movers." "In my house, I do as I like." "They don't have to know our problems." "Always appearances..." "The neighbors count more than Julie and me!" " You're ashamed of her." " l'm not. I'm keeping her." "You may have fooled the judge, but Julie was 3 before you kissed her." "Shut up!" "She'd have died of sadness, if not for me." "You're not a mother, you're a stone!" " He won't hear of it." " Tough." "You're wasting your time on this scumbag." "She is, not me." "He handles his own defense." "I work for the public." "My eye." "You want to get it over with." "You can't cure guys like Dupont." "Should we gas him because he needs help?" "Some society." "I'm realistic." "Got anything against that?" "If you send him back to jail, they'll kill him." "At least he won't be "cured" in 6 months." "That's not fair." "They'll at least talk to me before letting him out." "So you say." "Calm down." "You think jail is the answer to all your problems." "Come on..." "Psychiatric cases in jail..." "Hold this." "Look carefully." "Lebel." "Committed suicide." "Him too." "And him too." "This one got beat up by 13 guys." "Want to see more?" "You forgot Leblanc." "He killed three kids." "Sylvestre strangled his parents two hours after release." "Those weren't SAS cases." "I may lack morals, but you're full of false pride." "What do you want, Anne?" "I want him in the hospital." "Never." "You'd better do as I say, because..." "Give me that!" "Happy now?" "You're emptying the house?" "I'm taking my things." "They're our things." "I can come back with the police." "That was a wedding gift." "That's for the judge to say." "Goddamn judge." " Goddamn lawyer and shrink." " Let me go!" "Stop it!" "Take what you want, but let me keep her a bit longer." "Why did you arrest Mr. Laperrière?" "We believed he was an important witness." "Because he saved articles on the murders?" "Objection." "We're not here to judge the police." "I'm sure Mr. Johnson's methods were improper." "The SAS wanted to make me guilty." "They concealed evidence so I can't defend myself." " He doesn't know the law..." " Not as well as the counselor, but I have the right to know." "Objection denied." "Answer the question." "Yes." "Yes, what?" "Yes, I'm sure we did our job according to the law." " You see something I don't?" " l'm looking..." "You put Laperrière in the paper?" "Yes." "Why?" "I told you." "You thought he was the killer?" "At that time, yes." "Aside from his photo, what did we see?" "Anne Fortier's photo." "She works for you?" "Anne Fortier is our expert in criminal behavior." "You're right." "Why the photo in the paper?" "I'll tell you." "You and Dr. Fortier didn't really think that Mr. Laperrière, who is in a wheelchair, was guilty." "That is, able to kill and put three people in a triangle." "You created a hoax to flush the killer out." "You'll stay with me today, and we'll see about tomorrow." "You don't want to see the psychologist again?" "Then you won't." "Your mother's lawyer won't leave us alone." "If it weren't for him, we'd still be together." "Don't worry." "I love you too much." "If the lawyer pushes too hard, I'll take care of him." "Are you hungry?" "I'll get something to eat." "Stay here." "I'll be right back." "I bet $20 on Dupont." "Fine, I'll take the boss." "I don't bet." "I don't bet." "It's a disease, I tell you." "So is miserliness." "Any bets you'll end up in a Scrooge remake?" "And you'll end up like that nutcase inside." "Watching that nut defend himself is good training." "Yeah, training." "Christ..." " What a kiss-ass." " That's right." "Mind your wife's ass, and she might keep you." "He's talking about my Rita." "You hear him?" "A little respect for the elderly." "After this damn case, let's all get together with our wives." "You could bring your Playboy." "Don't forget the Wet Ones." "Was the evidence found by you or the others?" "The..." " CAP." "Crimes Against Persons." " Like for Laperrière?" "Objection!" "What exactly is Mr. Dupont getting at?" "Mr. Dupont?" "I want to know who investigated and how." "Objection denied." "Answer." "The CAP handles murder cases." "If the suspect is mentally disturbed, it becomes our case." "When that happens, are you as dirty as the CAP?" "Objection!" "Mr. Dupont..." "You're going a bit far." "The police are crooked." "I contest the legality of the investigation." "Mr. Dupont..." "Your argument makes no sense." "Like all you've said in this preliminary inquiry." "The police don't prepare your defense for you." "He's using me to make a name for himself." "I've been a cop for 30 years." "You won't stain my reputation." "Mr. Johnson." "You're crooked." "It shows." "Counselor Dussault, in my office, now!" "All rise." "Julie!" "Come and eat." "Let's eat." "If she came to get her..." "That guy defending himself is something else." "It's good training." "Do you ever stop?" "Did you see anything that could be useful?" "He needs an audience." "You caught that?" "You're good." "He wants to get back at the world before he dies." "Going to do your part?" "I haven't much say." "Everyone wants him in jail." "But not you, of course." "Do you have something to tell us?" "I've already said it all." "Smile..." "Think of Fernand." "All rise." "I call Dr. Fortier to the stand." "Marie... I don't want to know about your problems." " Let go." " ls my wife there?" "I haven't seen your ex-wife." "She's my boss, period." "What about Julie?" "How many hours did you spend with Mr. Dupont?" "Since his arrest, about 12 hours." "Your conclusions?" "He confessed to the murders." "All of them." "Objection." "Yes?" "It's not true." "It's probably privileged information." "I can see why he's upset." "I'm surprised too." "Counselor..." "She takes me for an idiot." "As she does you." "It's contempt of court." "I'll be the judge of that." "Yes." "Nevertheless, I deny all she said." "Where's the proof?" "If she works for the police, she should've read me my rights." "Where is her recording?" "We won't take into account the alleged confession." "Counselor Dussault." "Based on your knowledge and expertise, was Mr. Dupont conscious of his actions during the murders?" "Conscious?" "Yes." "SAS..." "My name's Pierre Lemire." "May I speak to Anne Fortier?" "She's not here at the moment." " When do you expect her?" " She's in court." "Sir?" "Yes, I... I have an important message." "Does..." "Does "conscious" mean "responsible" to you?" "So even if they say I did the murders, it may not be my fault." "Answer." "It's complicated." "You've had a hard life." "I don't understand." "Am I crazy?" "You're dangerous." "You committed at least 13 murders." "You told me in detail, without remorse." "The only feelings I've seen in you concern the past." "Your reality is yesterday." "Today is just a game." "Like what you're doing here." "Playing." "I'm unaware of my actions?" "That's not what I'm saying." "You said your father described his infidelities to you, to humiliate your mother." "That would break anyone." "But there's more." "You found the body when your mother killed herself." "Since when do you lose tapes?" "You insisted on talking to him." "Now there's no proof." " What do you want?" " Psych ward." "This is not the trial." "You won't give me any leeway at the trial." "At least you're still lucid." "You bet I won't." "Hold on. I can prove Dupont's irresponsible." "Why hire a lawyer?" "He's got you." "You haven't a hope of fooling the judge and beating me." "You want to fight?" "Let's go for it." " Anne, it's important." " What?" "Julie Lemire is walking around town with a gun." "They'll take him." "He's lost blood, but he'll be okay." "One plus one..." "Two." "You're thinking about the Lemire girl." "I never liked him much, but seeing him like that... lt's..." "They found the gun." "We have to wait." "I have a job to do." " Enough catfighting." " lt's her, not me." "Who cares where he goes, as long as he's locked up." " Changed your mind?" " Just stop stressing!" "Where is she?" "Where did you put the gun?" "Answer me." "Outside." "Why'd you do this?" "Something happened at home?" "Your parents... lt's his fault." "Whose fault?" "My mom and dad..." "They're splitting 'cause of the lawyer." "It's not because of the lawyer." "It's because your mom has trouble... lt's that your parents haven't gotten along for a long time." "It not your fault either." "No more..." "Don't be scared." "I promise you he won't die." "Give me two minutes." "You should have hired a lawyer." "You know you can't beat me." "I have to ask for imprisonment." "It's my job." "I know." "You know?" "Yes, I know." "Even after what you just went through?" "The other inmates, the hatred, the beating." "What do you want me to do?" "I don't have the courage to do it myself." "It's my fault." "This time it's my fault." "You didn't pull the trigger." "Savaria was right. I should've seen her." "He nearly died." "Don't take it like that, sweetie." "Come on!" "You know it's part of the job." "Not mine." "Now that you're in the police force, it is." " You're not a softie?" " l am a softie." "Fortier, you're a softie?" "We need you upstairs." "I can't do it." "I'm not thinking clearly." "I'm a mess." "Do what you have to do." "Listen... I wanted to talk to you about me and Rita." "What would you charge for marriage counseling?" "The hearing's about to resume." "Go on." "Do your job." "Come on, then." "Yeah." "All rise." "Are you okay?" "Dr. Fortier..." "You are still under oath." "You said I don't realize the gravity of my actions." "That's right." " That's not true." " lt is true." "I'd know if I'd killed people." "You're dangerous." "Dangerous to others, but especially to yourself." "As proof, you're defending yourself straight to jail." "I'm not dangerous." "Yes." "You're dangerous." "I could never have killed like you described." "What's she getting at?" "Mr. Dupont..." "This isn't therapy." "Any more questions?" "Your Honor..." "There are things in my head, but I'm not guilty." "Say I'm no sicker than you." "If I told you... that I'd slept with your dad," "and that the judge knows all about it," "that would be a triangle." "Quite a triangle." "You knew it, didn't you?" "You're crazy." "Thanks." "I quit the Lemire case." "I understand." "Julie's in a crisis center." " Speak to the parents?" " No." "Was I wrong?" "Never mind." "I can only take on so much." "I told you it was urgent." "I was serious." "You nearly died through my indifference, right?" "It sure looks like it." "I know the value of life." "Call me incompetent, but never indifferent." "It's sad, but sometimes there's nothing you can do." "You're telling me that?" "I almost died." "After this, I'll go work for the Rental Board." "Newspaper?" "Thanks." "Would you read it to me?" "Did you see him?" "Yes." "And he's mad at me." "He should be mad at me." "I monopolized you." "It's my fault." "What am I saying?" "It's not my fault, it's the job." "Come on." "I have work to do." "We're all going for a drink." "I have to finish up, then I'm going home." "This time, you're coming, or they'll say you're a snob." "Our wives will be there, and Suzanne..." "You won't be the only girl." " On one condition." " You name it." "Fernand comes with me." "Okay, let's go." " l know what you're gonna say." " No, you don't." "We're through." "For good." "That's one thing for sure." " But I want you to know..." " Stop it." " l want to say it." " No more fighting." "Julie's in an institution." "Just give us time." "I'll find a job, you'll see." "You have nothing to prove." "I just want you to know... lt's true about Julie." "I never accepted her." "And today... I regret having had her." "Except..." "Except..." "Though I did everything to erase her from my mind," "Julie's still my daughter." "That, well... lt's not your problem." "It's mine." "I know it's a pain being a shrink." "Everyone wants to tell you their problems." "It's okay." "I couldn't do it." "You must be solid as a rock." "I'm like everyone else." "You, Fortier?" "No, you're not." "You're special." "You're the most special woman I know." "Suzanne..." "Leave her alone." "She's here to have fun, not to fall asleep." "Stay out of it." "Go dance!" "How do you not get contaminated by people's problems?" "I keep telling myself, that their problems aren't my problems." "You're a lot like me." "Do you find living alone hard?" "It drives me crazy. I... I have Fernand, you know?" " Yeah..." " Thanks." "Anne... I know this isn't the place... but, for me, it's urgent." "Again?" "I thought about what you said, about the threesome." "I know you were joking, but it wasn't a bad idea." "Maybe I didn't explain clearly." "I have trouble keeping the men I'm attracted to." "It's more that." "I attract deadbeats." "Other guys kind of scare me, and they get fed up... I don't know." "Hey, Suzie-Q." "Did you bring your game?" "Yeah, do you have your game?" "No, I don't have it." "Leave me alone." " What game?" " Sexy Scrabble." "She invented it." "Jean-Marie wants us to play, but I don't know enough words." "Just use body language." "But what's the game?" "It's like regular Scrabble, but with dirty words." "Anne, how did you know Dupont would lose it in court?" "It's like in bullfighting." "Why do the bulls charge?" "Because of the red thing." "That's what everybody thinks." "The truth is, they're thirsty." "They're not given any water." "The bullfighter soaks his cape before the fight." "And so?" "When I said I slept with Dupont's dad, it made him thirsty." "And... that's it?" "The last straw was when I said the judge knew." "Some triangles hurt more than others." "'Evening everyone." "So, does Savaria blame us?" "No, he's not so bad." "But can we do something for Julie Lemire?" "Unfortunately we just have to live with it." "Julie's picking up where Dupont left off." "It's a bitter pill to swallow, but we have no choice." "Anne says I'm cuckold." "is it so obvious?" "We'll have you screen recruits." "It'll be a change of pace." "At least Dupont won't get out too soon." "I know when to admit I'm wrong." "About Dupont." "You sincerely piss me off." " Why'd she say that?" " He goes to the psych ward." "No trial, no jail." "He'll be in for a while." "Some cures take a long time." "The cape for the bulls..." "is that true?" "Okay." "Let's dance."
