"Hi." "It's pretty disturbing." "Pretty strange over here too." "Strangely disturbing." "Anne..." "You really think someone's trying to drive us crazy?" "Yes, really." "Tofranil. lmipramine." "Tricyclic antidepressant." "That's a real pity." "You mean the stuff that killed the old folks?" "You're weird." "Antidepressants means they were depressed, which means maybe they killed themselves." "Look..." " Athlete's foot?" " No." "The answer to one of your questions." "Parents die, girl takes off." "It's as good as a confession." "We won't know until we find her." "She lives next door to the hypoxyphiliac." "It's not just a coincidence." "This whole thing stinks of ritual murder." "Homosexual ritual murders?" "You think the last two were gay?" "We don't know how they died." "Definitely not aids." "As if only gays die of aids." "What's your point?" "Are you really helping the case?" "Don't forget that the first two were lovers." "We don't know if they're connected to these two." " They lived next door." " So?" " Been talking to Rosaire?" " Cut it out." "I never believed they were suicides." "I was waiting to see." "At first, I thought maybe, but not after." "I want to see Rosaire." "He's all yours." "If the suicides are a string of murders, I need to know where it starts." "Rosaire's fits always relate to what's happening around him." "Latin magic, in this case?" "At least it's cleaner over here." " You must feel right at home." " Yeah, right." "The apartment alone tells me she was in good health." "They'll pick her up soon." " Sure about Rosaire?" " More than ever." "Suzanne, get me Savaria." "We need Rosaire." "What kind of ritual it is?" "A female serial killer?" "No, but..." "Do I need a reason?" "Right." "What a pain." "One common thread connects the four deaths:" "They're staged." "Hold on..." "Yeah, it's wood." "Wood everywhere." "Why?" "What kind?" "Hold on..." "What kind of wood is this?" " lt's maple." " Maple." "Varnished or not?" "Would you say it's varnished?" "Hold on." "No, it's waxed." "Floor wax, or something like it." "The floors are waxed ." "Thinking of having your floors redone?" "It's a murder." "They must've dragged the body to the bed." "Check for traces." "Yeah..." "Overdose of Tofranil." "It's an antidepressant." "The bodies were dragged to the bed..." " Unconscious." " Or nearly." "The old lady was being treated for major depression." " And the man?" " Nothing." "He wasn't on Tofranil?" "But wait..." "Allard, Lise." "Date of birth: 12 August 1970." "Hospitalized five times for psychiatric problems." "Diagnosis:" "Chronic undifferentiated schizophrenia." "Obsessive-compulsive disorder." "One hell of a medical record." " Criminal record?" " None." "Possible hideouts?" "Negative." "Rule out Rosaire." "What's going on?" "They don't know where they're at." "Why do they want to see Rosaire?" "I think it's Fortier, because..." "You want information, go to the source." "Don't bother my receptionist." "Rosaire..." "Yeah?" "You do magic." " Me?" " Yes." "You do magic." "I need you." "I need your powers." "I'm looking for a woman." "Not too old, about 30." "I think he can help me with his magic." "A woman?" "Remember what you told Johnson?" "Latin magic?" "You talked about something perfect." "Could it be related to this woman?" "Say what you said before, when we were alone." "...what you're afraid of." "He's afraid you'll charge him as an accomplice." "An accomplice?" "An accomplice to the murders?" "Yeah." "Why?" "You saw something?" "I don't want to say." "You'll arrest me." "You're already under arrest." "Tell him you won't charge him with murder." "If he's not the murderer, why would we?" "You can't help it." "You have no choice." "You saw nothing, heard nothing, did nothing, yet you're afraid of being charged." "What you're saying makes no sense." "You didn't see the murders, you weren't there when they happened, but you know Latin magicians?" "I told you I was a witch-hunter." "I hunt magicians, too." "EMPLOYEE RECORDS" "Application form... lt says 1963." "I'm not seeing things..." "Why would she put 1963 if she was born in 1961 ?" "Anne wants to see you... I can see you're not obsessed." "Not at all..." "With a new boss, I want to be sure Fortier's record's clean." "We're on a big case and you're doing spring cleaning?" "She's doing an interview." "I'm allowed." "Sure." "Why don't you join her?" "It'd save time." "Rosaire?" "Interviewing Rosaire with her would save time?" "I could keep checking the Allards' files." "I wouldn't have to come tell you Anne's got something." " She's got something?" " Yeah." "Yeah..." "Sacrifices." "Everyone's together in that magic." "Are you okay?" "Yeah..." "Singing together... lt's beautiful." "It all fits together... one with the other." "With the Latin magician." "We're looking for a sect." "The Spanish guy, the old folks and the pervert..." "That's a lot for one neighborhood." "Dufour..." "Yeah, we're there." "What kind of church?" "A church with a sacristy, and all that?" "Yeah, yeah..." "Fine." "We're looking for a church." "What kind of church?" "More like a sect." "How'll we find a sect in a neighborhood like this?" "I guess they're not in the Yellow Pages." "There must be a priest around." "Ask the competition..." "Good idea." "A sect, that's what made Rosaire lose his marbles." "What kind of sect?" "What difference does it make?" "That explains his "Latin magicians."" "Note that my client did cooperate with you." "He can join the squad, if you like." "He'd certainly fit in well." "Tonight... you'll have dinner with me." "She's on duty." "And you're cleaning up the files, right?" "I'll need you to interview Lise Allard... when we find her." "Speaking of whom..." "Her parents were poisoned." "That's clear." "Maybe Emilio's wrists were slashed after he was killed." "But the hypoxyphiliac..." "I don't get it." "He was Emilio's lover." "What's a bra doing on a homosexual's body?" " Well..." " A ritual..." "A sacrifice." " Transvestites." " Norbert wasn't." "The bra was on the pole like a flag." "It just doesn't add up." "Fine..." "What did you call it?" "They call it the Ontological Christian Church." "Sounds legit." "They attract all the desperate cases in the neighborhood." "If you could get rid of them, all the better." "That's for sure." " lt's up behind there." " Thanks, Father." "Take her to the interrogation room." " He's the Pope, is he?" " Yep." "Conference room." "After you, Father." " Here's the documents..." " To Fortier." " lt won't be a piece of cake." " No..." "Here." "We had to cuff her." "She fought like a devil." "You said it." "I'll take her." "Kid, run a criminal check on the gentleman." "Gabriel..." "Want me to grill him?" "With him, the pleasure will be all mine." "Oh, well." "Report." "Hey, isn't it strange..." "The guru walks in, the air conditioning works again." "File number AF2001" "LA1207-A" "Preliminary interview." "Ms. Allard, I'm Anne Fortier, psychologist." "I can use what you say against you in court." "Do you understand that?" "Do you want a lawyer?" "I've some questions about your parents." "They're dead." "I guess you know that." "Yes." "Do you know how they died?" "They stopped breathing." "That's not what I asked." "How did they die?" " How?" " Look... four people died in your neighborhood recently." "The victims were a homosexual couple and your parents." "I want to know how your parents were involved." "Did they belong to the church?" " Four?" " Yes." "We believe your parents were murdered." "I'd like to believe you." "What makes you so sure?" "Why are you doing that?" "What?" "With your fingers." "Why are you doing that?" " This?" " Yes." "I don't know." "You touched something dirty?" "File number JJ2001" "CD1207." "Charles Derome, pastor of the Ontological Christian Church." "What am I accused of?" "I only want to know if you need a lawyer." "That depends." "Do you have anything on me?" "He wonders if he's being charged." "With 50 followers, we're bound to find something." "Check if any followers had sexual relations with him." "10-4." "In that case, I want a lawyer." "Got one in mind?" "Of course not." "Send a few detectives to question his followers." "Group interview." "Our guru's got quite a history." "Check it out... ls it..." "Go on... lf it's still there..." "Oh, yes..." "Thanks." "Does it really matter why I do this?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because you pretend not to be like me." "You think I'm like you?" "You hate dirty things too." "Not like you." "Exactly the same." "It's not the same." "You let dirt ruin your life." "I saw you." "You're pretending." "That's not the point." "Yes." "No, not at all." "It's your parents." "Everything will be perfect." "Perfect?" "Yes." "Perfect." "If we talk about your parents?" "Everything will be perfect if we wash." "Perfect." "I'm absolutely not like you." "Tofranil." "Someone killed your parents." "We have evidence." "Your father wasn't on antidepressants." "Only your mother was." "His blood contained 30 times the prescribed dosage." "It wasn't suicide, either." "Someone placed them in the bed." "Who?" "Who?" "The voices." "The voices..." "What voices?" "Everything will be perfect." "Have to clean everything." "Then everything will be perfect." "Did the voices tell you to give them the medication?" "...BECAUSE DEATH is in YOUR OWN MOUTH." "Do I have to put up with this?" "They're allowed to ask questions." "Nothing's happening." "She's watching me... without saying a word." "is she not worthy of gazing upon His Holiness?" "The way he talks is legal too?" "If that's all..." "Are you Catholic?" "I don't see it that way." "No?" "Then how?" "The Ontological Christian Church is inspired by Catholicism, I don't care. I'm not signing up, I want to know you." "No need to be rude." "I'll leave you to it." "How long have you been exploiting their gullibility?" "Do I have to answer that?" "I have a follower here who just admitted to killing her parents." "It's her..." "Here..." "Your warrant." "You know the defense." "It's not the case of the century." "Better than nothing." "Even if Fortier says she's not responsible, I may not go for it." "Go ahead, stir things up." "Have fun." "She seems normal enough." " So?" " She's meticulous." "That's no reason to run from the jail." "You love her..." "She's always on your mind." "Who'll win her heart, you or Savaria?" "Idiot!" "Here." "This one was in 1998." "The other's from his former job." "The guru worked with Norbert Mailloux five years ago in the rag trade." "I told Fortier." "Confirmed?" "Yes." "The guys went to Lise Allard's place." "Lise Allard's?" "A prowler was seen there." "He took off." "Join them, then go to the guru's place." " Fine." " The warrant..." "Okay." "For Lise Allard's parents, it's crystal clear." "Lise poisoned her parents." "The psychological reasons are easy to prove." "And her ties with you are even easier to prove." "You drove her to the murder with your mantras." "Don't answer." "No, don't answer." "It makes no difference." "You're in shit." "In deep shit..." "Dirt..." "Everything must be perfect, right, Mr. Derome?" "Starting with generous donations to your church." "is Lise getting an inheritance?" "...do you think?" " Don't answer that." " No, don't answer." "More bad news..." "Norbert Mailloux..." "Strangled to death in his apartment." "You worked together five years ago." "But you didn't know him, of course." "Don't know what it means?" "I don't speak Spanish." "You know this?" "It's your Bible." "The Bible of your church." "Page 57, I believe." "It says:" ""Life is in purity and death in your impurities." ""lf you take your place on the cross, heed His word" ""because death is in your own mouth."" ""Death is in your mouth."" "Meaning, don't speak ill of others." "It's a message of love." "Which is why Emilio, undoubtedly one of your followers, wrote that same sentence in blood on his apartment wall." " Are you charging him?" " lt depends." " On?" " Whether he tells the truth." "I've zero sympathy for people like you." "You should have." "Psychology and what I do are similar." "Quite the contrary, sir." "Quite the contrary." "I have plenty of questions, and few answers." "You convince weak people that life is full of answers... yours." "Power's out, damn it!" "It always happens at times like this." "God, no..." "Guys, what they found is out back." "Me, I..." "Give us a warning, or next time you'll get shot." "Fine." "I have the warrant for the guru's place." "Find anything?" " Not yet." " Yes, we did." "We found traces." "Let's go." "Johnson's waiting." "Strange for a drawer to be left open in this house." "This drawer's empty, that one's full of underwear." "Yeah, so?" "Didn't the lady wear bras?" "I knew the victims." "All of them?" "Yes, all of them." "Now give me one reason why I shouldn't charge you." "What's the motive?" "I was asking the gentleman." "No motive, no evidence." "No answer." "We'll let him tell us the motive." "As for evidence, we're searching his apartment now." "Do you have a warrant?" "No, we're breaking in." "What an answer." "What a question." "Do we ever search without a warrant?" "It wasn't me." "Don't expect me to take your word on blind faith." "May I ask you a question?" "I ask the questions." "You'll understand why." "Surely you've had suicidal patients?" "Yes?" "Do psychologists lose patients?" "Does it ever happen?" "Yes." "If brilliant specialists like you can lose patients, can a modest pastor like myself lose followers?" "I like when it rains." "Cools things down." "I agree." "No bras at Lise Allard's, but the hypoxyphiliac had one." "You get a gold star for that one." "You don't have to give me credit." "Don't bother." "Quite a place." "Our guru's not too hard up." "Charity begins at home." "Take the front," " l'll take the back." " Right." "I'll go upstairs." "Say again." "It was Emilio." "What, Emilio?" "Emilio tied Norbert up." "Why?" "Because..." "Because?" "Because they were sleeping together." "Emilio used to tie him up?" "And who killed Emilio?" "The key..." "Why'd you have Lise's key?" "Charles had it." " Charles?" " Mr. Derome." "The guru?" "The guru." "All our keys were kept in his church, so..." "He'd visit us sometimes." "We had to be ready." "Kid, send someone to get them." "On the double." "He'd visit?" "Mostly the girls." "That doesn't explain why you had Lise's key." "Because of the the bra?" "It was Lise's bra we found on Norbert's body?" " Correct?" " Yes." "Sometimes we'd get naked for the services." "And..." "Emilio stole Lise's bra." "Stole Lise's bra." "What for?" "I don't know." "Not for a turn-on, if he was gay." "You didn't want us to know the bra was hers." "That's why you stole them." "Did Emilio and Norbert hate Lise?" "Something like that?" "Yeah..." "You love Lise... but you didn't like how Emilio and Norbert treated her." "How did Emilio die?" "He killed himself." "It wasn't suicide." "You didn't like Emilio hurting Lise by stealing her things." "Right?" "Who killed him?" "Who killed Emilio?" "I did!" "I did." "Premeditated murder for Lise Allard." "She's a psychotic." "That's a joke." "A controlled psychotic." "Involuntary manslaughter, at best." "You'll go for that?" "I'm suggesting it." "You're not charging Derome." "I've got nothing on him yet." "If Fortier proves she killed the others, same charge." "Four victims..." "Four bodies on your conscience." "I hope that sets some bells ringing, Mr. Preacher." "Or maybe you have no conscience." "Find it funny?" "Not me." "Now that we're alone, I'll tell you, I won't let up on you until I get what I want." "What do you want?" "Your hide." "Emilio's prints were all over Norbert's house?" "The logic of the knots..." "Hold on, I'm writing it down." "He didn't tie himself up." "Renaud confessed to killing the Spanish guy." "Revenge." "He was in love with Lise Allard." "The bra on the hypoxyphiliac was hers." "He denies trying to disguise it as a suicide." "He says the razor blades weren't him." "He says he threw the murder weapon into a vacant lot." "He confirms that Emilio tied up Norbert." "Renaud stole the bras to prevent the woman he loves from being wrongly accused." "One:" "A sex accident." "So what was the bra doing there?" "Seems that the gay guys were always teasing Lise." "Maybe because of that." "The bra wasn't hard to steal." "Derome had them pray naked." "Two:" "Crime of passion." "And the girl killed her folks." "Cases closed, we can go home." "Three and four:" "Happy?" "We're off our rocker." "Because we're rational?" "We only think we are." "If you've got something better, say so." "That explains the staged murder scenes." "That's why they looked like set-ups." "Something overdone in them." "That something... is the trail he left for us." "He may be brilliant, he may think he's the Pope, but he's not infallible." " He's not dead yet." " Not yet." "1 BRA" "2 RAZOR BLADES" "3 ROSARY BEADS" "Norbert Mailloux." "He wasn't dead when you entered his apartment." "You let him die so Emilio would be blamed." "And perhaps Lise as well." "You put her bra there." "You surprised them because you had the key." "They were ashamed." "You sent Emilio home, then watched Norbert suffer." "Maybe you pushed him closer to the wall so he'd choke." "Why would two gay men be turned on by a bra that appeared out of nowhere?" "Norbert wasn't a transvestite." "He was gay, and a bit suicidal." "But not a transvestite." "But the perfect story... the perfect story to drive Renaud insane with fury... was that Emilio and Norbert were teasing Lise." "That they'd steal her underwear." "Renaud knew Lise well." "He knew how fragile she was." "As he was fragile too, this story... was enough to make him want to kill his love's tormentor." "You were smart enough and crazy enough to realize it." "Leaving razor blades where the Spanish guy was murdered." "So how does a woman like Lise Allard, who weighs about 50 kilos drag her parents bodies and lift them into their bed." "Renaud." "Not Renaud." "The only one who could've influenced Lise to such extent is the next one down from God:" "You." "Four bodies." "Four deaths." "Were Lise's parents members?" "What does it matter?" "You used Norbert's perversion to make him die." "You used Renaud's depression to make him to kill Emilio." "Lise Allard... you let her break down slowly, pushing her to kill her parents." "You used the weakness of these people, Pope Derome." "Why?" "Where's the motive?" "Life insurance." "Beneficiary:" "The Ontological Christian Church." "is it true?" "Don't answer any more questions."
