"They only sent me here to get me out the way" "If it's my resignation they want, they'II have it" "I want nothing to do with your hole, with your mine, with your witch" "I'm leaving" "Does that please you?" "well, great!" "No, it's because you didn't say "with you"" "What?" "You said, "I want nothing to do with your hole, mine, witch", but not "with you"" "With With me, that is" " I didn't say it?" " No" "well, I'm saying it now" "No, it doesn't work like that" "Too late" "Hey!" "Ah, Mr Lapointe" " Who's that?" " That's Catherine LapIante, Georges Ferron's mistress" " The one who owns half the mine?" " Yeah and half the town" "She's his wife's sister" "well, the one who just killed herself" "I wonder why doing that to her own sister" "Don't make snap judgments, Biron" "It's not professional" "It's been a Iong time since I've seen such a beautiful woman" "Catherine" "Isn't that the name of an empress?" "Of a tyrant, yes" "If you worked with her, you'd see" "You know her?" "In Great Bear, everybody knows everybody" "On top of that, she's my boss" "The director of Great Bear Radio" "You could have introduced me" "Where are you going?"

"I've got no chance now" "No chance for what?" " Thank you" " You're welcome" "well, well" "Mixed washrooms" "I would have never have thought Great Bear to be so "avant-garde"" "Oh, we aren't really" "I often even get the impression that Great Bear is going backwards while the rest of the world moves forward" "nonetheless, here we are, you and I, in spite of certain undeniable biological differences, differences which, I admit willingly, are entirely to your advantage" "Here we are, you and I, in spite of our undeniable differences" "In the women's washroom" "Oh, really?"

"Biron, do me a favour" "We're working together Let's drop the formalities OK?" " really?" " Yeah, yeah" "well, OK" "Sure" "AII right then" "Did you" "Where should we start?" "We've got a meeting with the mayor, but only this afternoon" "Fuck the mayor!" "Fuck the mayor?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah Fuck the mayor" "Come on, get in" "Fuck the mayor" "But I thought it was the socio-economic angle and the future of the mine that interested you" "Ah!" "only fools don't change their minds" "Yes, but our assignment" "well, I mean Your assignment" "You're the one who was pushing for a human approach to this story" "Yes, OK, but, although her husband is the town's leader," "I don't see what a depressed woman's suicide has to do with the future of Great Bear" "Nor do I" "Not yet" "Strange place to end it all" "Why did she come here?" "Not to be disturbed, I suppose" "This warehouse isn't used anymore" "No one ever comes here" "Biron!" "What are you doing here?" "well, I was wondering the same thing" "Louis-Bernard Lapointe of Radio-Canada" "I know who you are but you have no business here on my crime scene" "Your crime scene?" "OK, OK" "I'm in charge of the investigation" "My father assigned it to me personally this morning" "Your first investigation?" "AII right!" "Investigation, crime" "Hey, you're not allowed to commit suicide" "It's against the Iaw So shooting yourself is a crime" "well, actually, suicide is illegal but it's not been a crime since 1972" "That's a drag, huh?"

" really bad" " exactly" "But, fortunately, you're here" "Exact" "OK get out" "Get out of here or I'II run you in for" "Trespassing on a restricted area" "That's right smart-ass" "What?" "Nothing" "EmiIe" "would you have the photos you took the other day?" "They'd look good in my file" "Your very own file" "You must be pleased It's about time" "It's all right" "I didn't even have to ask for it either" "You don't say?" "Has there been an autopsy?" "well" "We felt that the cause of death was quite obvious" "I'm no expert but, if the bullet hit her from the front, the wound wouldn't be like that" "The impact would have spread out towards the back" "If you look at her back, you'II see that the holes are very small" "According to you, the bullet hit her in the back?" "Marcoux!" "call the station and order an autopsy" "And forget about the summons:" "I want a warrant for Christian Ferron" "Not the Ferron son?" "He fired a gun in his father's bar that very evening" "well, come on, that guy couldn't hurt a fly" " Gastonne!" " What?" "There won't be an autopsy" "Why's that?" "The body's been cremated" "What?" "But the funeral's tomorrow" "This doesn't look good" " Gastonne!" " What?" "The old Von Trieck woman" "I mean blanche" "She's been found dead" "I bet in the bar on the boxing match" "Again?" "I know I shouldn't have" "I don't have a cent" "I have nothing" "They think that by beating you up you'II pay up faster?" "These people don't think, Stef" "They hit, that's all" "You should just quit all of it and ask Dad for money" "He owes you that, at Ieast" "I'd rather bleed to death" "You're that proud?" "Me?" "Proud?" "I'm not Iike you, Stef" "Even when I try, I'm not Iike you" "Everybody respects you Me?" "Look at me" "Give yourself time" "You're still young" "But we shouldn't let them push us around, though" "What do you mean, push us around?" "Did you talk to Mom the day she died?" "No It had been quite a while since I had seen her" "On pills I couldn't stand it anymore" "well, I spoke to her the day before" " Screwed up?" " Un-huh" "But not suicidal" "What do you mean?" "Hi, Stephanie" "You're back?" "well, that's to be expected" "My condolences" "It's about your mother" "Christian, I have a warrant and everything" "I don't think I'II need these, right?" "For now, it's just for questioning OK?" "I've got nothing to hide" "Oh!" "Oh, sorry, Doctor Mondoux" "That's OK, Pierre" "Take your time" "I've done much worse to my patients" "I I" "I must've had too much coffee this morning" "I I've got the shakes" "Did you know that the first surgeons were barbers?" "Oh, yeah?" "That's where the red on the barber's pole comes from" "Ah" "Pierre" "What?" "What?" "OK, hum, sure" "Excuse me, Doctor" "Pierre" "You were right" "She died" "Last night" "well, not in the way you told us but" "Dead" "Yes, I know" "You know?" "We've only just found her" "I I knew yesterday, when I told you, I" "I don't see why I would know any less today" "well, yeah, but we could have done something" "We can't do anything against fate, Marcoux" "Nothing" "well, I have to take the doctor over there" "Watch where you step" "We have to take prints" "There are at Ieast three types" "She certainly wasn't attacked by dwarves!" "Where is blanche?" "She's upstairs" "OK, come on" "Sweet Jesus!" "If I catch the guy who did this" "We will catch him, Marcoux" "We'II catch him and then he'II pay" "Yes, ma'am, we're working on it" "Yeah, yeah well, yes!" "There's a satellite company technician coming in from the States" "Mr BeauIieu, Mr BeauIieu, you don't understand the problem" "Bring it in for repair if you want; but your TV's fine" "Ma'am The problem isn't at your place" "It's in the sky" "Great Bear satellite TV" "I can try to help but I'm busy answering phones" "There's not one TV working in the whole town" "Let it ring" "I can't take any more" "Excuse me, Mr Thibodeau, it's just that we're closing" "We'II sort this out as soon as possible" "What does that mean?" "Soon?" "Hey, guys, there's another fight tomorrow night" "And if no one watches it, who's going to put money in my pocket?" "will you?" "will you?" "Listen, Sir Everybody" "Hey" "Don't give me that "Listen, Sir" shit?" "OK?" "OK, sir" "Daddy's coming OK?" "Hey, I told you to wait for me in the car" "Let me deal with it my own way" "The body has been burnt It's done" "I'd rather they had suspicions instead of proof" "hold on" "Hey, get your fucking hands off!" "Georges!" "Mike!" "It's OK" "Catherine, I'II call you back" "No, I'II call you back, I said!" "ConjugaI troubles?" "Give me a break with your dumb jokes" "My wife's dead, Bob" "Cremated too, apparently" "Lost no time: that's good" "My wife's dead" "The old Von Trieck woman as well" "Yeah, so I heard" "Is that all that it means to you?" "Don't you think I have other things on my mind?" "seriously, I'd Iike to know" "You and the Von Trieck's, since you took over their mine, you've done nothing but act like cats and dogs" "With Thomas perhaps but blanche" "Come on, you think I did it?" "I'm asking you" "You're crazy!" "I can't cover up your fuck-ups indefinitely, Georges" "If you're involved at all in this, say so or else forget about me" "I had nothing against the old woman" "Nor against your wife" "I didn't kill her" "I've told you everything" "Get off my back" "I pay you enough" "It was an accident" "OK" "And if that little moron hadn't showed up" "Speaking of Christian," "I hope you've got your stories straight?" "Don't worry I straightened him out" "And what about you?" "I gave the investigation to Gastonne" "Your daughter?" "She couldn't stop traffic in a dead end" "Did you receive the suicide note?" "Yeah" "Nice handwriting in that family" "I feel all empty inside" "Don't you have anything stronger than this?"

" No Is it left or right here?" " Left" " tell me about your beautiful boss-Iady instead of preaching" " well, I've told you everything" "What do you want to know?"
