"9-1 -1 ." "The stairs." "Get out." "Etienne!" "Leave the building." "Etienne!" "Everyone out." "He has Parent's gun." "Not good." "I have to talk to the kid." "What do we do?" "I'd shoot him between the eyes, if not for procedure." "Christ..." "Calm down." "I won't hurt you." "You're on his side." "You should've told me." "I'm not on any side." "I came to meet your boss because he threatened you." "How could I be with him?" "You came to me." "The microphones." " Microphones?" " My boss was spying on me." "Listen..." "You agreed with him." " l agreed?" " When he called me crazy, you turned around." "I saw your reaction." " How much did he pay you?" " Who?" "How much did Bruneau buy you for?" "You're not well." "You're really not well, Mr. Gagnon." "Mr. Gagnon, we both agree." "Your boss and everyone is against you. I'm not." " So?" " He's dead." "Do we strap the trophy to the roof?" "Morgue's on the way." " Mayrand?" " Inside with the redhead." "Goddamn it." "Get ready." "Cover me." "Want me to try?" "Go for it." "Sir..." "Sir..." "What's going on?" "Etienne, you okay?" "I'm fine." "First impression?" "It's like a breakdown." "Deep depression or paranoiac episode." "Could he just be scum?" " Dufour..." " Yeah?" "Did you warn Johnson?" "No time." "He flew down to the States." " To the States?" "What for?" " Beats me." "To see Disney World?" "If you talk about me, I'll kill him." "Of course we're talking about you." "You're aiming a gun at a police officer." "We're wondering what's going on." "Talk to us." "I have nothing to say." "No threats, nothing?" "Not ever?" "You, ma'am?" "Gagnon wasn't easygoing, but we tolerated his quirks." "He was so talented... I never thought he could kill someone." "He's a loner." "He's weird." "But to do what he did..." " Bright?" " Very intelligent." "But not at this cost." "Richard Bruneau was my friend." "I..." "This is a nightmare." "I don't believe it." "Do you know that Gagnon filed a complaint against his victim?" "Hold on." " Ready?" " Yes." " Let's go slowly." " One, two, three, go." "We won't do anything." "I'll just get closer so we can talk." "Who are you?" "My name is Anne Fortier." "Officers Mayrand and Dufour." "We work with Etienne." "Don't you remember seeing them at the SAS?" "Could be." "Let's calm down and clear things up." "is he dead?" "They don't come any deader." "Tell me what happened." "He wanted to kill me." "That's why I was here." "Let's be logical." "We know how to shoot." "We're two-against-one." "Hand over the gun." "Let's talk like adults." "Hold him, Parent!" "Okay, he's out cold." " You okay, kid?" " Yeah." "Are you all right?" "Fill out the report." "We'll meet you there." "Boss's office." "It all starts there." " 10-4." " We're taking him in." "We'll give you a tour of the station." " l'll die there." " You won't die." "I'm diabetic." "My insulin's in my office." "Where exactly?" " Top drawer on the left." " Jean-Marie." "Hey, come on..." " Would you bring my coat?" " Yeah, right." "You want a sandwich with that?" " Here's your medication." " ls that it?" " Come on." " Let's go." "All right, let me go." " l want to talk to him." " Not now." "But he's my husband." "They'll kill him." " They'll kill him!" " Ma'am..." "No one's going to kill anyone." "It's over." "They took the gun." "Not you people." "His partners." "He's not crazy." "They'll kill him." "Sit down." "They'll kill him?" "Pierre's a genius." "His ideas drive Expertex." "They want to cash in on his ideas." "We're at the end of our rope." "They'll make millions." "Couldn't they buy him out instead of killing him?" "If they can put $10,000 on someone's head, what would they do for millions?" "We'll take care of you." "Are you okay?" "Judging from his wife, they're a strange couple." "Either she's as delirious as he, or his partners are nuts." "Order a medical." "Psychiatric?" "The works." "Your house is clean." "I'd like to talk about your husband." "You don't have to... but if you want to help him..." "Fernand..." "Get down." "Lie down." "Good." "Nice dog, Fernand." "Don't look at me like that." "You know I'm shy." "Shyness is a serious problem." "I can never catch Fortier to discuss it." "Relax a bit." "You're too uptight." "When I relax, I fall in love." " So, what's the problem?" " l panic. I... I don't know what to do... I'm just a lawyer." "What happens now?" " He'll be charged with murder." " And I'll be left alone." "Do you find living alone hard?" "It's not fair." "I don't believe it." "What's not fair?" "They wanted to kill us." " Who did?" " Pierre's partners." "Jacques Marsolais, Josée Archambault." " The other one was the worst." " The dead guy?" "Do you have the latest documents on Dugas?" " You didn't get them?" " Not Fortier's report." " Hi." " Hi Suzanne." "Cute as ever." "Still reeling them in." "They're jealous of you." "Who's that guy?" "He just killed his boss." "Thanks." "Have you been married long?" "Twelve years." "Do you work?" "You work..." "You work here." "I write." "What do you do?" "Really?" "A novel." "What's it called?" "The Beast." "Can I see it?" "It's not finished." "Did he discuss his intentions with you?" " Who?" " Your husband." "You knew about Bruneau?" "He didn't want to kill him." "We were scared." " Of his partners?" " Yes." "Were you threatened?" "I prefer you ask Pierre that." "Did they threaten you?" "Talk to Pierre." "Pierre decides?" "Does Pierre pay your share?" "Does he support you?" "What right have you to ask me that?" "I'm just trying to understand." "I understand." "You believe them, not us." "I've never even met them." "I can feel it in your questions." "It doesn't matter what they did to you." "True or false, the fact is that your husband killed someone in the presence of a police officer." "It wasn't self-defense." "I was there." " Pierre went off the deep end." " l don't believe you." "I don't believe you." "I don't believe you." " What do you think?" " Frightfully dependent." "Frightful in what way?" "I can't say until I see him, but she's fragile." "You won't share your diagnosis?" "F-60.31 in the DSM-4." "Go ahead." "Make fun of me." "I'm not." "That's really it." "I didn't memorize your manual." "Okay." "Fear of abandonment, identity disorder, easily influenced, dependent, I already mentioned and impulsive." "So if we get nothing on Gagnon, maybe she..." "Yeah, maybe." "Did you forget something?" "No, I was thinking of Gagnon." "Hurry." " What?" " Hurry." "Mrs. Gagnon?" " Break in." " Come on!" " Do I have to do it?" " l'll do it." "Goddamn." "Mrs. Gagnon!" "Use your gun." "Mrs. Gagnon..." "Where the hell is she?" "Mrs. Gagnon..." "Mrs. Gagnon..." "Etienne, call 9-1 -1 ." "Christ." "Cpl. Parent, SAS." "Send an ambulance to 1277 Foucher." "Look, here comes your psychologist." "She'll make you feel better." "You're eager to see her." "Me too." "Hello, my doggie." "It took you a while." "Where were you?" " Playing golf." " Figures." "We were at the hospital." "Mrs. Gagnon swallowed her medicine cabinet." "How's it going with him?" " lt's a deadlock." " l'll check it out." "Watch him for 10 minutes?" "What am I, the SPCA?" "Well..." "Come on Fernand." "Let's take a walk and go pee." "Come on." "The boss is out. i can't." "Does he have a lawyer?" "It's not an auction." "Take a number." " Can I see him?" " He didn't ask for a lawyer." " Could you ask him?" " Christ." "Are you going to hang around all day?" "Could you recommend someone... lt's for therapy." "Suze, later." "I don't have a problem." " What's wrong?" " He won't let me see Gagnon." " ls he your client?" " He wishes." "He seems to think it's a police auction." "I just want to offer my services." " Did you..." " Hold on." "Excuse me." "The guy's a real pain." " Did Gagnon talk?" " The same nonsense." "You've seen paranoiacs." "What do you think?" "He's a classic case." "So, it's not revenge in the guise of insanity?" "Are you joking?" "You saw him." "I just wanted to hear it from you." "Why do you think I blocked Savaria?" "He didn't ask for a lawyer." "We read him his rights." "Until he asks, I'm not letting Perry Mason get to him." "Do you have his CV?" "Gagnon has a Master's in electrical engineering." "He's been at Expertex for 12 years." "Married, no kids." "An only child." "His mother's dead." "A spotless record." "Not even a traffic ticket." " Medical history?" " Nothing psychiatric." "But he is diabetic." "He has diabetes?" "Yeah." "Does it matter?" "Just watch he doesn't have an episode." "Anything else?" "Nothing vital." "I'll take him." "I'll take the other one." "Why do you always wash your hands?" "Dirty hands give me the shivers." " The shivers?" " Yeah." "Like fingernails on a blackboard..." "Right." "That's how it feels, so I wash them." "This may sound silly, but did you ever try not to?" "I feel uncomfortable." "In what way?" "You won't tell anyone?" "I'm no stool-pigeon." "I'm afraid something will happen." "What's the worst that could happen?" "I don't know." "Anything." "Something bad." "The cracks in the sidewalk..." "Sometimes I avoid them." "You're crazier than I thought." "If you judge me, I won't confide in you." "The world won't fall apart if your hands are dirty." " You're nuts." " l was born this way." "You washed your hands when you were born?" "You're good." "Don't look at me like that." "Know what the boss is doing?" "Do you want to know?" "Come on." "I'll try it alone, but... stick around." "The proof that I'm not double-crossing you:" "The microphone is on." "Everything said here is being recorded." "What'll happen to me now?" "Do you have a lawyer?" "They need a lawyer, not me." "Mr. Gagnon..." "Remember, you killed someone." "Your partners didn't." "I spoke to your wife." "She's at the hospital." "She tried to commit suicide." "That's impossible." "They must have tried to poison her." "Mr. Gagnon, I was there." "She swallowed pills." "They pumped her stomach in time." "It's time we started telling the truth." "Don't you think?" "Will you believe me?" "I want to believe you." "But you'll have to be convincing." "I understand your problem clearly." "But let's take it from another angle." "You said your partners wanted to harm you." "We'll question them." "Do you trust me?" "I trust no one." "How can I gain your trust?" "Make them confess." "Fine." "What's your decision?" "I don't know." "Any suggestions, Anne?" "Why do you use my first name?" "Do you mind?" "It's just new." "You have a certain manner with me." "You're afraid?" "Why should I be?" "Sure no one's spying on you?" " For what reason?" " l don't know." "To control you, maybe." "Control me?" "My secrets are no one's business." "Your secrets?" "We're getting off track." "I was asking..." "You said you had secrets." "No, I... I meant "secrets" in a broad sense." "You said "my" secrets." "How can I trust you if you don't even realize what you say?" "Mr. Gagnon, you're under arrest." "We're here to discuss your motives." "I mention your secrets and you're no longer a psychologist?" "You're a police officer?" "What is it?" "Not another cat." "Get inside." "Now!" "Hello." "How are you this morning?" "Who gave you my address?" "The SAS." "Can I come in?" "Well, if it isn't Gabriel!" "Have a good trip?" "It's always hairy over New York." "Nothing compared to here." "The paranoiac who killed his boss?" "Parent almost prevented the murder." "I knew the kid had potential." "Anything else?" "Things are rolling along." "What about you?" "What about me?" "We were wondering... what's up in the States?" "Griffin sent me to see the fbi." "Just a social call." "Where are you off to?" "The murder scene." "Come see me afterwards." " Do you believe him?" " Sure, but I believe Rita." "Gagnon was a patient of mine." " At the hospital?" " A private patient." "I saw him 4 or 5 times, 10 years ago." "His wife's in my ward." "I'm about to release her." "You don't like us coming to your house?" "None of that, please." "Gratuitous psychoanalysis..." " You're secretive." " Discreet." "I don't mix work and my private life." "You intrigue me." "Not on purpose." "To each his own." "We could work together if you like." "You wouldn't be alone." " You really want to help me?" " Yes." "Wait for me in the car." "I'll change, then we'll go get Mrs. Gagnon together." "They got over it quickly." "I don't like them much." "Did the techies find anything?" "Seems like he used his office for more than just work." "Did the girl leave any traces?" "Unfortunately not." "I'll take a taxi." "I didn't come so you could take a taxi." " What's she doing here?" " That's Dr. Ross." "I know." "She said Pierre was crazy." "I never called him crazy." "Your husband had problems some time ago." " But it seems he is." " You don't tell the truth." "Mrs. Gagnon... I didn't release you so you could slip away." "I'm under arrest?" "I'm a psychologist, not a police officer." "Surely you can remember you tried to kill yourself." "Come with me and we'll see what's really going on." "And if I don't?" "You'll miss a chance to see your husband." "Come on." "Mayrand." "That guy." "Would you lend him $100?" "I'll bet you $20 he's not as sad as he pretends." "He does look pretty happy." " They're through mourning." " Speaking of which..." "My cousin's an undertaker." " Had his wife cremated." " Really?" "Her family gave him the cold shoulder." "Quit kidding around." " Who's he?" " How should I know?" "I'm no private detective." "That's it." "Let's go." "Take care of her, please." "Mr. Gagnon..." "We didn't finish last time." "Would you mind answering my questions?" "I'll see your wife afterwards." "Do you know what I believe... deep in my heart?" "You need to get treatment." "Sometimes you lose touch with reality." "Dr. Ross told me." "No one wants to kill you." "I don't believe you." "So, do you want to talk to me?" "What can you tell me so I can help you?" "Seriously..." "Something in your life led up to this." "I spoke to Mr. Gagnon." "I'm taking the case." "You again?" "is this a running joke?" "Excuse us." "I have carte blanche because of the Lemires." "Johnson's more reasonable than Mayrand." "If he wants you..." "He's clearly not responsible." "It's just his motive that's murky." "Insanity always is." "I'll go see his wife." "Gagnon was already paranoid when I met him." "So what?" "Knowing the facts will save time in court." "Problem is, we can't hold court in this office." "Certainly not." "Doctor, thanks for your help." "We'll take it from here." "How long will you hold him?" "We'll just take his prints and he can go." "At the very least, he should be confined in a security ward." "I'm so pleased we've become friends, but you're going a bit too far." "This feeling of invasion is giving me a rash." "Why?" "We're dealing with the human aspect." "We'll deal with technicalities when we get there." "It's okay. I'll handle it." "Fortier." "DB-00P122." "Interview with Justine Lampron, wife of Gagnon." "I'm recording our conversation." "What you say will be used in the investigation." "lnvestigation?" "Your husband is accused, not you." "I'm after the context." "I want to know what happened." "Until I have Fortier's report, I can't say where we're going with this." " With what?" " With the charges." "Fortier may not be qualified." "Has she dealt with paranoiacs often?" "With all due respect, I don't need you to manage my squad." "Thank you." "You knew Pierre had psychiatric problems?" "What do you mean by psychiatric problems?" "Do you know what paranoia is?" "Pierre's not paranoid." "What do you think I'm saying?" "That Pierre has persecution mania." "That's my opinion, and Dr. Ross's as well." "He was her patient years ago." "But you knew that." "We discussed it." "Okay." "Do you see why we're not pursuing Pierre's partners?" "Because you don't know them." "So you think killing André Bruneau was... self-defense?" "I'd say so." " Do you have proof?" " Of what?" "The conspiracy?" "Self-defense means your life is at risk." "They wanted to get rid of Pierre and keep the profits." " Who?" " Bruneau," "Jacques Marsolais, Josée Archambault." " To the point of killing him?" " Yes." "Do you have proof that your husband's life was at risk?" "Proof?" "The difference between something real and something imaginary is proof." "No, I don't." "Cigarette?" "Yes." "is your job difficult?" "Not with an education." "You're at the top of your field?" "I was doing all right." " Why'd you stay there?" " Where?" "At your company." "Why didn't you sell your ideas elsewhere?" "I had a 10-year contract, shares, a no-competition clause." "I was trapped." "You could've just slacked off." "It's not my style." "I love my job too much to be dishonest." "So you're honest, but you're in deep trouble." "I prefer that to letting them use me." "Concrete proof?" "No." "But the looks... the allusions, disappearing documents..." "They spied on us." " The partners?" " Yes." "So... you would've done the same." "I think so." " You're not helping." " l do what I can." "I know." "Look, ma'am..." "Most sincerely," "I understand nothing." "It's not clear?" "You'd rather believe the others." "It's not that." "You just don't give me any reason to believe you." "If I told you... the police keep files on us." "On everyone who works here." "I don't know if I should tell you." "We're under constant surveillance, even now." "They watch us." "They listen." "We're constantly under stress." "If I fail with you, they'll punish me." "I can't live like this anymore." "Help me." "Help me find the hidden microphones." "Would you help me?" "Please." " Why not?" " l don't believe you." "What's so funny?" "Now do you understand why I can't believe you?" "Your husband is paranoid, but you're not." "Tell me what's happening." "Let's save time." "My kit?" "What kit?" "My insulin." "Oh, yeah." "Thank you." "I can't." "Can you do it?" "Wait." "Do it for me." "Come here, Jean-Marie." " You're not allowed to." " lt's insulin, not heroin." " You're not allowed." " Can't let him get sick." "Okay, keep still." "Let Mommy give you your shot." "You're not a paranoiac." "Paranoia's not for everyone, believe me." "You are easily influenced, however." "It's like you'd never question your husband." "The partners wanted him dead." "How was he with you?" "I love my husband." "Does he help around the house?" "He works a lot." "What do you do?" "I have Master's in literature." "I write." " What do you write?" " Novels." " Have you published?" " l've sent in a manuscript." "I'm waiting." "What's it about?" "You really care?" "A girl abused by her stepmother." " Cinderella?" " Kind of." "But more literary." "She suffers through the novel." "It comes from within." "She creates a fantasy world to cope with reality." "Suzanne!" "Call 9-1 -1 !" "Hurry!" "Excuse me." "Stay here." " What's going on?" " He wanted his insulin." "Christ." "He just dropped." "He's dead."
