"I sure am beautiful." "You're lucky, you know." "Not all kids have a mother like me." "What you've got here is flab." "I don't have any." "Touch it." "Go on!" "I'm not gonna bite you." "Harder." "Go on. harder!" "I'd probably only let a guy like Elvis touch me like that." "Back up!" "Back up!" "I wanna be sure you get all of me." "Turn over the camera." "Can you see me?" "Okay. go." "Good." "Now, come over here." "Go!" "Super!" "Terrific." "Thanks." "Bye bye." "Here." "No. it will wake me up." "Right, it'll do you some good." "Who did that to you?" "No one." "Relax." "Tell me and he won't do it again." "You're not my mother." "I fell down the staircase, that's it." "Give me 12-47. 52 Maguire, there's a suspicious van parked on the street." "Where are you staying?" "How the hell should I know?" "12-47, we're wrapping up a call in St. Anden. we're on the way." "This is Graham." "I'm near Maguire." "I'll go as back-up." "10-4." "What are you doing?" "My job." "Fuck!" "Ciao!" "Hi, Maud." "It's Mom." "It's been ages since we heard from you!" "I know you're working hard. but take 5 minutes to call your mother!" "Anyhow. it's aunt Lucille's birthday next Tuesday, so... we're having a little party at her place." "I'm gonna make some salad." "can you bring the cake and wine?" "Everybody's gonna be there." "it'll be wonderful if you come." "I miss you. sweetheart." "Dad sends his love." "Bye!" "This van was discovered during the night here on Maguire Street... but its owner is still missing." "Quebec City Police have checked the vehicle's registration... and now look for a 32-year-old woman named Josiane Girard... who hasn't been heard from since last evening." "Blood stains were found inside the vehicle... but the police say it's too early to tell where the blood came... from." "Samples have been sent to the laboratory and investigators..." "Graham." "They found Josiane Girard in a warehouse by the river." "I'm on my way." "It's definitely Josiane Girard." "Her purse and ID were found in her body." "Messed up pretty bad." "An arm and a leg missing." "A jogger found her." "No blood around, she was killed somewhere else." "Yes, inside her van." "The killer is fairly tall, we got boot prints size 13 at least." "We're taking a cast." "Okay, sounds good." "Hang on, I'm not done with it." "12-12, answer." "I don't want anyone walking in here until we check these prints." "Okay, I'll take care of it." "As you can see, death was brought about by strangulation." "After that he cut off the leg." "in the groin here..." "Like he was following the bikini line, see that?" "Clean, high-quality work." "as good as a pro." "Could a butcher have done this?" "Yeah, so could a surgeon." "Looks like the Danais killing in Montreal, doesn't it?" "Same type of mutilation." "and same level of skill." "Signs of rape?" "No. there are vaginal contusions... but we've found no semen, so for DNA you'll have to look elsewhere." "Are you free for dinner this evening?" "Not really, no." "What are those three little holes around the navel?" "Right, those." "They were most likely done with a stylet, like this one." "We're still doing tests." "Could be some sort of signature." "Hi, Josee." "I'll be needing the entire Muriel Danais file... she was found mutilated last month in Montreal." "And give me any other files with mutilation or amputated victims." "No problem." "Graham." "You know what Graham is like." "She never says a word." "What can I tell you?" "That's how she is." "She's used to working alone." "that's why she's single." "She does everything alone?" "Even love, I've been told." "I've got a confirmation on where Josiane Girard was last seen alive." "A place called Sportec Plus." "She worked out there." "All alone?" "Detective Graham?" "Mr." "Casgrain." "Come to my office." "I picked the file you asked for." "Perfect." "Did you know Josiane Girard personally?" "Hardly at all." "We have a lot of members here." "But I did take a look at her file." "This Wednesday, did you notice anything unusual?" "No, it was a regular busy Wednesday." "Did you talk to her?" "Did you see her go out?" "Is there anything you could tell?" "Well... when she joined, she was with a friend, Sylvie Dupuis." "They have a boutique selling lingerie in the old town." "She was very organized, and confident." "But she would have never let a complete stranger in her van." "Your clientele, what are they like?" "Well, mostly we cater to wealthy women." "And businessmen... who wanna give stuff to their wife or their mistress." "But my best customer is a guy, you know." "Your best customer is a guy?" "A transvestite." "He does female impersonations at a club." "In fact, Josiane closed up late last night... so he could pick up a body stocking." "When was that?" "I think around 7:" "3O." "We close at 7:" "0O on Wednesdays." "But I don't think that the guy is violent." "He is weird, but not violent." "I'd still like his name." "Sylvie." "Here, I'll do that." "Josiane knew him as Babette." "Babette Brown." "Here, Maud, there were several files." "Pretty sick stuff." "A guy was found crammed into a garbage can in Central Park." "NY." "Minus his legs." "He was a jogger." "This could be relevant." "A woman was found in Maine three years ago... missing one arm and one foot." "The woman from Three Rivers, I remember her." "She made all the local headlines." "She'd been on her vacation." "She also worked out at a sports club." "Plus there were three little holes around her navel...same as Danais." "Same as our Josiane Girard." "My dear Josee we're after a serial killer." "What?" "That's why he discarded Josiane's right foot, he's got two." "One from Muriel Danais, one from Diane Peloquin." "Amputating feet!" "Yeah, and breasts and arms..." "And legs?" "No. from what I see, he's just got one." "Miami." "Maine." "Montreal." "Quebec..." "If it's the same guy, he sure gets around." "Traveling is important to serial killers...specially sexual sadists." "Sexual sadists!" "I don't get what turns them on." "They're afraid of sex." "They can only do it with a woman who's unconscious or dead." "Fucking dead bodies?" "Do you mind if we change the subject?" "Okay." "Where should I go shopping for new clothes?" "Now you're talking!" "Tell me your budget." "I'll tell you where to go." "But nothing too wild." "I know what you're like." "Come on have a drink with us." "My day isn't over yet." "Your friends are waiting." "Good night." "Good night." "Hello." "Hello." "Officer's down." "You're pretty good!" "You wanna go head to head?" "I'll pay." "If I beat you. kid." "you get the next one." "Good evening." "She sings well. huh?" "Does she sing here often?" "Thursdays and Saturdays." "She's like the real Dalida." "but she costs less." "Don't give that pig what he wants." "What do you mean?" "You know." "You're planning to piss in your pants?" "Where are you going?" "I'm going home." "Can I give you a lift?" "No. it's okay." "You should see my car... it's a late-model Boxter convertible." "A real racing car!" "Go play with someone older." "You'll choke him with your limp dick." "Shut your mouth. you little faggot." "or I'll shut it for you!" "Go take a number. 'cause this little faggot's mouth is real busy now." "Fuck you!" "Put your hands together for Babette Brown!" "The lovely and talented Babette Brown as Dalida!" "That's right. she's not dead." "Not yet." "It's been two weeks since Babette graced us with her presence... and we know why." "Well. since we're on the subject of love..." "I'm now going to perform a tender little love song for all of you." "Madame." "Congratulations." "I'm detective Maud Graham." "I'd like to ask you a few questions about Josiane Girard." "You were the lady who was her best client?" "I'm the man who was." "Yes. excuse me." "Not at all." "You stopped in to get a body stocking at the boutique late yesterday?" "Right." "I'm wearing it." "You were the last client who was served by Josiane." "Really?" "When you saw her." "how did she seem?" "Same as usual." "She gave me the stocking." "I paid her." "We traded a few jokes." "She always said she wished she had my bust, that kind of stuff." "I can't get over it." "it's so awful!" "Listen." "I'm sorry." "I don't have much else to say." "Look. if something occurs to you." "the smallest detail. call me up." "Good night." "You're gonna be on my ass now?" "Go fuck yourself." "What's your name. kid?" "Sebastien." "Right." "Mine is Mickey Mouse." "Come on. what's it for real?" "I won't rack you out." "Frederic. but everyone calls me Fred." "Go jerk off. we're busy here!" "Asshole!" "Are you really a...?" "I mean. do you...?" "Don't you?" "What do you do?" "Nothing." "I just got to Quebec City." "Left my house this morning." "I knew it." "You're obviously new." "Where are you staying?" "I reserved a bed down at the youth hostel." "You got your shit together." "my man!" "May I stay here tonight?" "Of course you can." "Fuck!" "Gregoire?" "I had a feeling that I'd find you here." "Alright. let's go." "Where did you find him?" "In the "Plains of Graham"." "I can't keep him. it's illegal." "You keep me." "No. you pay a visit now and then and your social worker knows it." "Then he can pay a visit too." "what's the problem?" "The problem is a 12-year-old runaway." "He's cute. huh?" "I'm not a den mother." "and I don't wanna lose my job!" "I'm calling a counsellor tomorrow!" "Thanks for the bacon." "Miss Graham." "So what's your name?" "Sebastien." "His name is Sebastien." "Right." "Hey, I swear." "MISSING CHILDREN FOUNDATION" "Your appeal to the public seems to have worked." "One witness, she lives on the street where Josiane's van was found." "Thanks." "I was awakened at one in the morning." "The van was there." "the taxi stopped over there." "Want the name of the company?" "It'd be helpful. yeah." "Coop Quebec." "Coop Quebec just confirmed they had a pick-up on Maguire... the driver's name is Claude Brunet." "he lives at 1450 Delorme Street." "Claude Brunet." "145O Delorme." "Okay." "His boss tried to reach him." "no luck." "One more thing." "Maud:" "Claude Brunet served 11 years for armed robbery." "Be careful, babe." "Don't worry." "Bye." "Claude Brunet?" "Detective Graham." "I got a questions about a passenger you picked up 2 nights ago... on Maguire, at one in the morning." "The man is suspected of having killed a woman." "Josiane Girard." "It was on TV and in the papers." "Yeah." "I know." "But I can't help you." "If you'd at least tell me what you saw of this man... that would really help us with the search." "I can't tell you much." "I wasn't really looking." "Did you speak to him?" "A bit." "You think you could recognize his voice?" "I doubt it." "Where did you drop him off?" "On Aberdeen." "At his car." "At his car?" "Guys do that so they don't have parking troubles, you know." "You remember his car?" "Chevrolet." "I think." "97 or 98. you know." "Dark. you know." "Anything else you might have seen... you know?" "He looked like a businessman." "With a beige coat and a briefcase, you know." "Are you willing to come by the station. look at some pictures?" "I have to?" "No. but it won't do any harm." "You know." "See you." "Graham." "See you." "Moreau." ""Dear detective." "I've invited you out for dinner 3 times this month... without success." "So now I'm trying my luck for the fourth time." "A tenacious admirer"" "Well now...here's to you...dear lady." "Cheers." "You know." "I rented a film." ""Citizen X"." "X-rated?" "No. see. it takes place in Russia." "It's about a serial killer." "With a pleasant fire. how's that?" "So there's a fire in Russia?" "No. with me." "The film is set in Russia... but the fire is in my fireplace." "if you like." "It sounds great but." "Alain." "don't get me wrong but I just have no interest in..." "Interest in...?" "Look...you're intelligent and you're sensitive but..." "But I am a bore." "No. of course not." "I'm relieved." "It's just that...for a while now..." "You've done everything alone." "Alain. as long I'm after that killer..." "Excuse me." "Graham." "Two kids up there spotted her." "They came for a little nooky." "This must have cooled them right off." "We questioned them. but their story's all over the place." "They're still shaking up." "We're trying to calm them down." "When they're ready." "I'll talk to them." "It's not pretty." "I'll wait for you up there." "Inspector Graham." "I've got some questions for you!" "Not right now." "Mr. Darveau." "Wasn't this done by the same person who killed Danais and Girard?" "I'm sorry." "I can't answer." "When will you have answers?" "The public's entitled to know!" "In that case. phone my boss!" "For crying out loud!" "She's hard!" "How are they?" "They're calm enough to talk." "May I ask you several questions?" "Sure." "Thanks very much." "Which one of you saw the body first?" "It was me." "I mean. it wasn't me." "We were sitting there." "on the floor... and we heard this noise." "Someone was walking..." "And we..." "It sounded like a truck." "We got nervous. scared." "That's okay. don't feel bad." "So you heard the sound of walking?" "I went to look..." "I saw a guy going away." "In a truck. fast." "I went forward to see what the guy was doing." "And that's when I saw the woman." "It's sickening." "Sickening!" "The guy you saw leaving." "what did he look like?" "He looked like..." "I'm not..." "He was tall... about like him... he had long hair." "He was wearing a long black coat." "a leather coat... it was like yours." "only made of leather." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I just saw a woman who was killed after leaving your club." "Mathilde Choquette. 32." "Waitress and a member of your club for 2 years." "Somehow I doubt it's just a coincidence!" "Look." "I've owned this club for 1O years." "I never had troubles here." "What do you want me to say?" "I want a complete list of your members...of your employees... part-timers too!" "Your trainers...the guys who repair your machines...accountants... your clerks. receptionists." "I want them all!" "The killer selects women who are muscular...or at least well-trained." "So far I've counted two legs." "two arms... two breasts. two feet. one pelvis." "Basically. a woman who is missing just her head." "The perfect woman!" "Right." "Josee?" "Whatever!" "The two last victims were both members of Sportec Plus... which is now under surveillance." "The city's other sports centers will be covered by light today." "The victims were all women." "all in their 3O's?" "And they're all single." "We assume he memorizes their schedules... waits for ideal conditions." "and kills them." "Does he abuse them sexually?" "Yeah... no doubt after they're dead." "We found traces of semen in the hair of the last victim." "Mathilde." "We'll get the DNA report soon." "He is an organized killer." "and everything is going his way." "I tell you." "we look pretty darn stupid." "Cause one." "we don't have a suspect." "And two. he's on all the papers and in every newscast!" "And that really turns him on." "I've gotta speak to him." "Okay." "We're calling the press." "Thanks." "Graham." "Next question. please." "Inspector. you caught a pedophile after searching for months." "This time is a serial killer." "Are you intimidated?" "No. it's part of my job description." "Myriam." "You're a detective. but also a woman." "So you're a potential target. no?" "A serial killer doesn't ever kill at random." "He selects his victims in a very precise way." "I don't fit his criteria." "Like most women. by the way." "We know this guy's amputating limbs from women." "Why is he doing it?" "It's hard to speculate on a twisted mind." "This stage of the investigation." "anything is possible." "He may be acting out some fantasy." "or religion." "Or starting a collection." "But as an expert." "you must have a theory." "In my view. our killer is trying to reconstruct a female body." "Namely his mother." "Do you have a description of the killer?" "We've received several different descriptions..." "Leading us to conclude that he changes. wears disguises... and that's entirely consistent." "Don't forget: the serial killer lives in a fantasy world." "Mr. Duras?" "If I understand you. we're not dealing with an ordinary killer?" "A serial killer is anything but ordinary." "Usually he's been killing regularly since childhood." "He begins with small animals such as birds... cats. dogs." "He realizes that the power over life and death calms his frustrations... and soothes his sexual ardor." "He's an intelligent man." "organized. brilliant." "Do you think you'll arrest him son?" "I know we will." "Because despite his intelligence." "the serial killer is still human." "He's suffering and he's not immune to error." "Sooner or later I'll get him." "Could be later than sooner." "Our collector is getting more and more excited." "He's working faster." "He's gaining experience." "but losing control." "The point of a press conference is to reassure the public." "The point is to catch a killer." "The public will be reassured then." "And where did you get that business of "reconstructing his mother"?" "I was fishing." "I wanna provoke him." "She wants to provoke him." "Gregoire?" "Hi." "Maud. it's your mother." "I saw your conference on TV." "and I'm very proud!" "Your father too." "You looked to beautiful!" "Anyhow." "I guess this means we won't see you for dinner on Sunday." "Who are you?" "I know." "You wanna be fed. right?" "Nobody's taking care of you." "Come on. let's eat." "We'll spend the day together." "What do you think?" "It's all there?" "All you asked for... you got the names and addresses of our members. employees... everyone who's been in the place in three months." "I'll be happy as hell when this whole goddamn thing is over." "It's terrible for our image." "It's bad publicity." "I'll admit it." "But it can't be helped." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm working." "So am I." "Listen." "I'll have the kid out of your hair by morning. trust me." "The kid?" "If he was listed as missing." "he'd be returned to his mother." "Don't be mean." "I'll have nasty nightmares all night long." "And if you're waiting to hear from his mother. forget it." "She died of an overdose." "He's cool. huh?" "He teaches sculpture." "He's real cute and rich." "A looker." "And he's big." "Hey. dude." "Hi." "Delivery for Maud Graham." "She hasn't come home yet." "You give her this?" "Sure." "I'll put on her table." "So you're her son?" "No." "I'm just staying here." "You're not in school?" "Yeah. but I'm sick." "Wanna leave a message." "No." "I'm just deliver." "Okay." "Thanks." "Bye." "Bye." "Gregoire." "You can't stay here. man." "We're meeting the teacher later." "Why?" "Why?" "'Cause you're about to have Youth Protection on your ass." "You think?" "Wake up!" "Your old man's gonna have the cops out looking for you." "When he's on a buzz." "he can go on for weeks." "If not him. it'll be a neighbour." "your school or the tooth fairy." "I know someone's gonna notice you're gone." "Even Cracker is poking around." "So quick talking and pack your stuff." "Let's go." "You're not allowed in the bar." "It's okay." "I'll wait out here." "Hang on." "Gregoire." "Here." "Go on. get in." "Here you are." "Thanks." "Have fun." "Thanks." "Have a good weekend." "Josee!" "Hi there!" "How are you?" "Sebastien?" "Hey. cute kid!" "Hi there." "Hi there." "Are you alright?" "I've been waiting for Gregoire in the car for two hours." "Let's get out of here." "Gregoire won't like it." "I said I'd wait here." "I'll work it out with him." "Come on. climb in." "I'm not sure if this is such a good idea." "Gregoire is nice. but I'm pretty sure he forgot about you." "Does he get high a lot?" "Let's just say it happens now and then." "Like he visits you now and then?" "Look at these flowers?" "Are you the one that got them?" "A delivery guy brought them today." "From your boyfriend?" "An admirer. that's all." "I've got an admirer." "Oh yeah?" "There he is." "His name is Leo." "But I always call him "that bloody cat"." "Here." "Sebastien." "Miss Graham?" "My name is not Sebastien." "Get out of town!" "It's really Frederic." "but everyone calls me Fred." "What's that little shit doing here?" "I looked for him all over!" "Well." "I'm the one who found him." "What the hell!" "I told him to wait!" "No way he's staying here." "We're going to the Teacher's." "get up now!" "You're the one who wanted him out." "Turn that off!" "What happened to you?" "Don't start. okay?" "Gregoire!" "Have you looked in the mirror?" "Relax!" "I fell on the sidewalk!" "First the stairs. now a sidewalk!" "Where did you find him anyhow?" "Did the Teacher abuse you?" "He likes me way too much for that." "Then who was it?" "It's none of your business. right?" "Then why are you here?" "Well. then I'll go to the Teacher's." "He doesn't ask questions!" "Fuck!" "He'll come back." "And if he doesn't." "I'll find him." "Promise." "It's from the guy at the end of the bar." "Hello." "Hello." "Josee." "Mike." "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Is that fresh coffee?" "Is there a nice young fellow who's waiting for me with a surprise?" "Good morning." "Cracker. you're on the paper again." "Your investigation is going slowly." "Thanks. nosy parker." "You're working today?" "I'd better." "if you believe that paper." "What about your mother?" "What about her?" "Well. it is Sunday." "She's expecting you for dinner." "How do you know that?" "I'd be glad to go with you." "Frederic." "I'm sure you don't wanna go home. but..." "I'm gonna have to talk to asocial worker. kid." "He's a nice guy. he's the same one who looks after Gregoire." "Can't it wait till tomorrow?" "Just one more day." "Is it gonna make a lot of difference?" "Fine." "I'm so happy you were able to set yourself free!" "Your daughter's found herself a nice gentleman." "Hi." "Mom." "Gary. come on out here!" "So what's the name of this young fellow?" "Sebastien." "A nice name!" "Now let's go inside." "Hang on." "Mom." "I wanna show him something." "Come on." "Be right in." "Isn't it beautiful?" "Quebec City is there." "Levis is across the river... and right between the two is the island of Orleans." "This was where they all came in... all the great explorers who discovered most of North America." "Sebastien!" "You've got to come in and try my fudge." "You'll love it." "Come on." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "But." "Dad. we won't stay late." "Listen. sweetheart. it's good to want to save the world... but you've gotta smell the roses." "Yeah." "I know." "Gregoire!" "He's not here." "We'll go look then?" "You promised me." "Back up. he's there!" "Police!" "What are you doing here?" "We were looking for you!" "Why?" "The guy gives me 1OO bucks to suck his cock and let him beat me!" "1OO bucks in 1O minutes is fucking good money!" "Gregoire. you mustn't do that!" "You mustn't let yourself be beaten..." "I mustn't what?" "I mustn't what." "Graham?" "You haven't saved any lives." "all you did was cost me 1OO bucks." "Gregoire?" "No." "Frederic." "Frederic!" "Frederic." "Gregoire?" "Frederic. cut out the funny stuff." "I know you're there!" "I said cut it out!" "That little bugger took his knapsack and left." "THE LITTLE PRINCE" "Where is that DNA report anyhow?" "Well." "I need it!" "It's been three days." "I want it now!" "I'm not interested in your excuses." "I'm after a serial killer!" "I need that report!" "I want it in my hands this morning!" "Josee is not here?" "How about "good morning"?" "Everyone decided to come in late today?" "I was stuck in traffic!" "That never happened to you?" "Look who's here." "Great mood you're in." "What's with you?" "I fell down the staircase." "Down the staircase?" "I didn't know it was contagious!" "What is that?" "You wanna calm down a little?" "Josee..." "I wanna know who did this to you!" "I picked up an asshole." "Where?" "The Steel Bar." "Who is he?" "What's his name?" "I don't know!" "Michel or Michael." "I'm not sure." "I was fairly looped." "You picked up a guy?" "You don't know what's going on?" "Drop it." "I'm not in the mood!" "I want an explanation!" "You don't get beaten up without reacting!" "I wanted sex. but I ended up with a creep." "Haven't you ever done that?" "Never mind." "I want a full description." "There must be something you recall." "I don't know!" "Come on." "Josee!" "There must be some little thing." "I don't know." "It's ridiculous." "I can't find my panties." "the ones I wore that night." "Maude?" "You wanted this report as soon as possible." "Thanks." "Alain!" "Sorry about that." "That's okay." "Thanks for the flowers." "What flowers?" "Maude." "I checked out the florists." "none of them have sent you flowers." "Well. well!" "I've gotta find the boys." "I'm gonna check the Teacher's place." "Right." "Thanks." "Bye." "I'm sorry to bother you." "I'm a friend of Gregoire's." "Yes." "I know." "I've got to speak to him." "He said he'd be here." "He's already gone." "Is anything wrong?" "He was alone?" "With a friend." "Frederic?" "Yeah." "Frederic." "I really don't know where he is." "This morning Gregoire and I had an argument." "Do you know how old Gregoire is?" "Eighteen." "In two years. yeah." "Well. thanks again." "Don't mention it." "No." "I'll wait here for the warrant." "10-4." "I'll need some backup." "Over and out." "Don't move!" "Police!" "Anyone who does this. could cut a girl out without blinking an eye." "Jesus Christ!" "Nobody here." "Man!" "We'll go to the Teacher's." "Shit!" "The police?" "Come on!" "Run!" "Run!" "Why?" "Why did we run?" "Because she is a police officer." "A fucking pig. and don't you forget that for a minute." "You can't blame her. but she's just like the rest of them." "She's gotta do her job." "they pay her to sell you out." "She wants to sell me out?" "Not sell you out. to protect you." "To protect the two of you." "Shit!" "Do not open the door!" "She's out of control." "I have good reason for thinking the Teacher's dangerous." "He looks weird. but he's a teddy bear." "He wouldn't kill anyone!" "His name's Francois Berger. and he goes by Babette Brown at night." "He's a transvestite. did you know?" "Fuck you. lady!" "Calm down. okay?" "I'm going to the station." "Cracker. you're wrong." "Take it for me." "Berger and I were together the evening Josiane was killed... he brought me to a restaurant." "remember?" "You picked me up." "But someone beat you!" "Was he the one who did it?" "It was the other guy." "after I left his house." "What time?" "Did you see a clock?" "Don't ask me." "Midnight." "What did you do with my knapsack?" "Frederic. come on!" "I left it on the bed there." "Your underwear was on the bed but for the knapsack. don't even start!" "Nobody takes me seriously!" "Graham." "Fine." "I'm on my way." "To be continued." "This isn't mine." "I'm not a faggot." "Where are you going?" "Cracker told us to stay here." "Like I really do what I'm told." "Yeah. but..." "I'm gonna get a pizza." "Do your swear you didn't come back for your knapsack earlier?" "No." "I swear to you!" "Let me speak to Gregoire." "I can't." "he went out to get a pizza." "Why the hell did he do that?" "What did I tell you?" "I'll call back in 5 minutes." "And don't you move. okay?" "Fuck!" "Our killer is after men now." "There's a new twist." "By the way. we've found this in the place of his genitals." "Your name is Frederic?" "Frederic Tanguay?" "I'm from Youth Protection." "Party's over. sport." "I'm afraid it's time to go home." "Get your stuff now." "because we've gotta get going." "Youth Protection." "Shit!" "I knew it!" "I knew all along it would end up this way!" "Fuck!" "You oughta learn to relax." "I'm just glad to find you here." "Where would I be?" "Timbuktu?" "I'm sorry." "Gregoire." "Shut up!" "You're prejudiced." "Because the guy's art's weird and he wears dresses. so he's offing women." "You make me sick." "I'm very sorry." "I was wrong." "We've just found Francois Berger." "He was killed." "By the Collector." "That's impossible." "He only kills women. not guys." "You're the one who said that." "I made a mistake." "Want some gum?" "Can I keep the comic?" "I collect these." "Sure." "What's your name?" "Michel." "But everyone calls me Mike." "I can't leave you here alone." "it's too risky." "We'll go to the station with Frederic." "Frederic?" "The guy from Youth Protection took Fred away." "It'll be another hour at least till we get to St. George." "I know." "Were you in a fight?" "It's a risk of the job." "Not all kids are as friendly as you." "What did your panties look like?" "The ones the guy stole?" "Well." "I've got about 3O pair." "Red. yellow. white. black. green?" "Lace perhaps or...?" "Patterned... it had happy faces all over it." "Are you okay?" "You've got to remember." "Josee." "Can you describe his hair?" "It was long. very dark... he had this little beard." "Was he a big man?" "Was he short?" "Average..." "Would you recognize him?" "I don't know..." "I'm all confused." "He knows where I live." "he could come to my home!" "Josee. calm down." "Calm down." "If he had wanted to kill you." "he would've already done it." "Now listen." "I need you to help put together a composite sketch." "Alright?" "That's it." "No. put in pair number 4." "No. that nose is too flat." "How about this one?" "It's still not quite right." "Is this better?" "Wilson." "Sure. hang on." "Yeah. that's it." "I just don't know anymore." "That could be the guy." "I don't know." "Hang on." "Take the beard off him now." "Put a cap on." "I don't if he's your Collector. but that's the Youth Protection guy!" "Youth Protection?" "Was he on foot or in a car?" "Car." "A dark blue Chevrolet." "I know this road well." "I got a place in Maine." "the side of the lake." "I love to go fishing for trout." "My father once got one about this big." "Well..." "He stuffed it." "I got it hanging on the wall in the den." "Hold on." "There." "Right." "Thanks." "Youth Protection Office never heard of Frederic Tanguay." "Let alone sent someone over here to get him. but now the word is out." "Dirty fucker!" "If he even touches Frederic." "I'll kill him!" "What got him?" "Fuck!" "I don't wanna go home." "I know. but I gotta do my job and bring you back." "One day more or less isn't gonna change anything." "Frederic. it could cost me my job." "You could say that we got lost." "Or how about saying I ran away?" "Whatever." "It's been awhile since I went fishing." "You wouldn't have to take care of me." "I can handle myself." "It's true." "Okay." "I'll see what I can do." "I'd like to speak to detective Graham. please." "Maud. line 4." "My dear Miss Graham!" "I've been so eager to speak to you." "Who is this?" "The kid is really special." "What kid?" "Frederic?" "Who the hell is Frederic?" "Why him?" "Why Frederic?" "You'll know everything." "Miss Graham. when we're together." "What do you want?" "I want you to go home and sit tight till you hear from me." "Alone." "And to those who are listening at the moment..." "I warn you: if someone goes with her. if someone follows her..." "I'll kill the boy." "What boy." "Graham?" "You've got a lot to explain." "I know." "I think the fish will be biting." "Fred." "Hey." "Mike." "Another weekend fishing trip?" "We're hoping to get some trout." "Who's the young man?" "He's my nephew." "What's your name. son?" "Frederic." "Where were you born?" "Quebec." "Okay. guys." "Have fun." "Thanks." "No." "Maud." "I'm not gonna let you compound your error. no!" "I've gotta save the boy." "You don't even know where he is." "I'll find out." "The guy'll call." "For God's sake!" "How do you know he's not waiting at your house now?" "You'll never know unless I try!" "I won't let you follow his orders!" "He's a serial killer!" "Exactly." "What choice have we got?" "He's a psychotic killer who's been killing for years!" "What's with you?" "You wanted that he got in touch with me." "Everyone knows it!" "There's only one way to go now." "the one choice I have!" "Okay, you can go." "On one condition:" "we put a transmitter under her car." "Fuck!" "We'll follow you at a distance... but we'll follow." "It's that or stay home." "Yeah, thanks." "Hang on." "They traced the call." "It's a cell phone, down in the BOS." "Thank you!" "Let's go." "Nice place, huh?" "Can you open the door?" ""Dear Miss Graham..." "I'm sorry for the inconvenience by calling you at work." "I can imagine your boss is surprised at learning about Frederic." "You'll follow these instructions if you want Frederic to live..."" "I'll go with you!" "I'm gonna kill that moron!" "No. you're not gonna kill anyone!" "What does he want?" ""Take route 173 as far as the 2O1." "When you reach US Customs." "reset your odometer." "At 2.7 kilometers. you'll see a mailbox to your right." "Further instructions await you there."" "SEARCHING" "She just crossed Du Pont bridge heading southeast." "Good." "Du Pont bridge. heading southeast." "Like the view?" "I can't wait till tomorrow." "Can I see the trout?" "Sure." "Who's that?" "My mother." "Your mother?" "She doesn't look like a mother." "Come on." "I got something to show you." "This was my father's workshop." "Now it's mine." "Looks like a hospital." "I do taxidermy in my spare time." "You start with something dead, then you make it look alive." "Come on." "I'll show you to your room." "Don't touch that." "What about the food?" "The cooler." "I'll take care of it later." "Come on." "You'll like it here." "There's no noise, it's really quiet." "Look." "See this?" "I wore it when I was growing up." "You wore that?" "I wanted to be a hero." "That's why you save children." "You can wear it. if you want." "Just for fun." "I'm not a baby." "I know." "Mike?" "Thanks." "Good night." "Look." "She just got to the border crossing." "Stop here. guys." "We'll contact Maine State Police." "You're Canadian?" "Yes. sir." "Okay. go ahead." "Drive safely." "Thank you." "We'll meet at the border. at the US Customs." "In 15 minutes." "Come on. let's go." "Mike?" "What's going on?" "Why aren't you in bed yet?" "I couldn't sleep." "And I can't look after you." "You said you could take care of yourself." "I know." "Bed's that way!" ""Well done." "Miss Graham!" "Continue on this road for 16kilometers... you'll then come to a second road on your left." "After 3 more kilometers." "a third road on your right." "At the end of which a light will show which way to go." "Gregoire. what are you doing here?" "I have two friends left in the world. you and Fred." "I'm not leaving you alone." "Come on. we're wasting time!" "Have you completely lost your head?" "Well. read me the instructions at least." "Reset your odometer!" "Yeah." "I know." "Don't forget: when it hits 19." "you're turning right." "I got that." "You could speed up a little." "You see what we're rolling on?" "Haven't I told you you should have a UV?" "Fucking force is so cheap they won't even give you a decent car!" "And I can't see a thing!" "I hope you got a decent gun." "or we're gone." "Please." "Gregoire!" "Look out!" "Don't you sit there." "Get the hell out and push!" "She's come to a stop." "We've gotta slow down. guys." "Okay. hit the gas!" "Come on. push!" "Right!" "Come on. floor it!" "You gotta put your back into it. push!" "Come on. get in!" "We're at 2OO feet." "15O now." "15O." "1OO feet." "I want all lights off." "Stop here." "Get ready!" "Shit!" "The goddamn beeper fell off the car!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "And we're in the middle of fucking nowhere!" "Officer!" "Officer." "I need a chopper right away!" "Great." "A lake!" "This can't be happening!" "He must've left some indication." "Frederic!" "It's a fake!" "It's a lousy fake!" "We're gonna find this goddamn light. come on!" "Alright." "I think we've found it." "His ass is mine!" "He'll suffer!" "You won't move from here?" "You swear to me?" "I swear." "Cracker?" "Don't fuck it up." "I won't." ""That is when the fox appeared." " 'Hello '. said the fox." -"Hello."" ""Answered the Little Prince politely... who turned. but saw nothing." "'"Here I am '. said the voice." ""Under the tree." " 'I am a fox '." -"Come and play with me."" """I cannot play with you '." "said the fox..." ""I haven't been tamed yet."" ""I'm sorry," the Little Prince said." "But after a moment he added." ""Tamed?" "What does that mean?" "I don't know the word."" ""...it's his devotion to a flower." "It's the image of a rose shining in his soul..." "Like the flame of a lamp."" ""And so I continued to walk... and I came upon a well as day was breaking."" "My dear Miss Graham!" "Just in time." "Maud?" "It's okay." "Frederic." "I'm here." "Put the gun down." "You don't wanna be responsible for killing him." "Now put down the fucking weapon." "Kick it." "Thank you." "Now let's all try to stay calm." "Miss Graham." "I sense you're somewhat nervous." "There's no need for that." "You're in no danger." "We're a team." "Now are we?" "It's you I want." "Me?" "But why?" "You should know." "you know everything about me." "My head?" "No. thanks." "I kept my Momy's." "I don't know." "But you're a smart woman... you have judgment." "you have heart!" "My heart?" "More than that!" "Open your mouth." "Open your mouth." "Open." "Open your mouth." "Now tell me what it is I want." "What do I want." "Miss Graham?" "Your...?" "Your...?" "What?" "What?" "My soul!" "Your soul. right!" "If I had a trophy I'd give it to you!" "We'll be so happy together." "Maud." "Don't mind if I call you Maud." "It's so soft." "Maud." "When Frederic is lying on a stand... they'll be a real family." "A harmonious family." "loving and happy." "They'll be perfect." "And for this you killed all of those people?" "21 women. 7 men... and one child." "Very few." "Considering the quality of the work." "Have you ever killed anyone." "Maud?" "I thought that." "You'll see it's easier than you might think." "It's so, so... so exciting." "I stabbed them, at first." "Until the third woman." "I'd taken her out to this field and... she started to scream." "I was stabbing, and she was yelling, yelling and yelling... until I couldn't stand it." "I took her by the throat... and I squeezed." "Maud." "With all my strength." "I squeezed her." "And I looked into her eyes." "and you know what I saw there?" "I saw love." "Maud." "A depth of love I'd never seen before." "Eyes so full of love... eyes that know you're in the act of killing them and love you!" "And as you gaze into those eyes." "Maud, as you gaze into those eyes... it's at that very instant that your divinity is born!" "It's at the moment of absolute power over life and death... it's at that precise instant that you are God!" "You're a great detective." "Maud." "But you've never killed anyone." "I'll give you that chance." "You're crazy, you're psychopathic." "Perhaps." "Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps." "Perhaps I'm crazy." "But I'm no idiot." "Maud." "Do you suppose I think your police friends, Fecteau and company..." "Yet you wander out here all alone?" "Wouldn't be shocked. would we, if they arrived here soon?" "Don't worry, Maud." "My work is almost complete." "And I've chosen you..." "I've chosen you finally to put an end to my great adventure." "You've chosen me to do what?" "You'll find out, eventually." "All good things must end, Maud." "Frederic's existence." "No. wait!" "Hang on!" "Mine." "Listen, you can keep me." "But let the boy go free." "I have to finish my work." "Please, don't hurt me, Mike." "I don't wanna die." "No, Little Prince." "I promise this won't hurt." "Gregoire?" "Well well well!" "I'm disappointed at you." "What does the little fairy want?" "The fucking little faggot!" "Who lets anyone beat the shit out of him... and who takes anything up the ass!" "Berger didn't have just anything!" "Quiet!" "Or I'll blow you away!" ""I'll blow you away!"" "Shoot." "Gregoire!" "Shoot?" "You don't have the balls!" "Look out!" "Gregoire!" "Stop!" "Alright."
