"Gabriel Johnson As we cannot get along, here's my resignation." "Anne Fortier" "You can be straight with me." "is this better than the SAS?" "Miss the guys?" "Here's the story." "Give me your opinion." " Go ahead." " Family business," "$20 million in sales." "Full owner." "The couple running it are divorcing." "They're not breaking even." "She may have embezzled funds." "Fired her 6 months before discovering the fraud." "Where should we look?" " Location?" " Out west." " Accomplices?" " The controller." "Suspect?" "The clerk?" "Other suspects?" "The money?" "They're insured?" "They should withhold payment and pressure the boss." "Check if she's sleeping with the controller." "The divorce settlement will be easier if he has money." "That's good." "That's..." "SAS... I'm looking after it." "Right." "Our new office looks great." "It's like a new house." "Griffin wants us to help Crimes Against Persons." "Durivage will be livid." "The shoe maniac?" "What can I tell you?" "We work alongside them." "We're not their ward." " Don't get mad." " l'm not." "If you say so." "Quit saying I'm mad." "I hate being told I look mad when I'm not." "We'll take their case from the top." " Pisses me off." " Hold on." "Six murders is several cases." "Griffin hits the panic button if he hasn't got anything." "Our mandate includes maniacs, but not this." "You don't get it." "I do get it." "Cops are supposed to stick together." " lt stinks." " lt stinks all right." "Fortier made it easy." "She was always nosing around." "I could use her to show up Durivage." "She didn't care." "There's other shrinks." " l don't want another." " That's it..." "She was nicer to you." "Why did you harass her?" "The truth hurts and I don't like to hear it." "Amazing, just like a computer." "Case number 456-12-000-W16." "The company lost 75 percent of its market value." "Several of the higher-ups hold stock options..." "The Swiss division grew..." "Stop." "I can't take it." "No problem." "We'll go for lunch" " and continue later." " We're not going for lunch." "I have research to do." "We were on a roll." "This doesn't match that." "It's the wrong id number." "This is 22, not 36." "Where was that?" "We always suffer for it." "But you like showing up Crimes Against Persons?" "I like annoying Durivage, but without looking sneaky." "Can't risk screwing up while playing one-up." "Ask your wife." "My wife?" "You're there to support each other, discuss problems." "My wife?" "Go read the comics, Parent." "Mr. Savaria." "Johnson, at the SAS." "S-A-S." "Jacques... I'd like to ask you a favor." "Nothing major." "Can I help you?" "If only you'd greet everyone." "I got it." " The local station sent me." " Yeah?" "I was attacked." "I'll handle it." "Gerard called me." "Come in my office." "Or somewhere more private?" "Really, Mayrand." "Take the lady in the back." "After you." "What's up?" "That way." "Johnson." "Sorry, but you can't smoke here." "Will you arrest me for it?" "Your name?" "Estelle Villeneuve." "Address?" "1241 Courteville, Montreal." "When did it happen?" "Last night, at 1 1 :00 p.m." "How did it happen?" "I was walking, downtown, near St. Laurent." "By an alley, a guy grabbed me by the legs." "By the legs?" "Like in football, you know?" "Tell me, what was an elegant woman like you doing in that part of town?" "Yeah?" "That's assault on an officer." "You're in trouble." "What's your name?" " Not your maiden name." " Robert Lauzon." "What's the idea?" "I just can't help exposing myself." "There are lots of crazies around..." " Unlike yourself." " We're after a shoe thief." " He wouldn't hurt you." " What's going on?" "She didn't say." "Nor did the boss." "Here or at the SAS, it's the same to me." "Have time to help me out?" "I said you're on probation..." "Ironic, no?" " Who said I was here?" " Johnson." " What is it?" " l told you." "Do you do assessments?" "Maybe." "Depending on?" "The case." "The rest is my business." "Just in case, here's my new address." "We can always use a good lawyer." "Well, goodbye." "Nice meeting you." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "You were right to quit the SAS." "They're not for you." "Speaking of which, things are heating up with CAP." "What about CAP?" "Griffin asked Johnson to take over some CAP cases." "They'll like it even less if he's not successful." "Poor guy will make a fool of himself." "Get this, sonny." "Can I call you that?" "This isn't a game." "We're after a women's shoe thief." "You're hampering our investigation." "I was attacked too." "I misled you, but I am telling the truth." "It's possible." "He fooled us, so why not the maniac?" "It wasn't obvious, was it?" "Get his statement and get him out." "I'll need you for the CAP cases." "All of them?" "Only unsolved homicides." "Our job is to find suspects." "What about the shoe maniac?" "You want double time?" "We're going to scout the area." " Be here in an hour." " Here..." "Yes, here." "Can you handle this alone?" "Right." "He's not doing too hot." "Not really." "Fortier... ls that true?" "We're taking over six murders, but I can't talk now." "Can you see him?" "Yes." "How is he?" "How do you mean?" "What's he doing?" "Shuffling papers in his office." "Standing up?" "Does it matter?" "Tell me." "Standing." "As if he's about to leave, or just standing?" "You're odd." "Tell me if he's leaving." "Hold on." "Can you fax these?" "Did Savaria call?" "I'm going for lunch." " Will you be long?" " Half an hour." " Okay?" " Fine." "He's leaving." "Come on, Fernand." "The maniac's not dumb enough to jump a guy." " She's a beautiful woman." " He's not a woman." "He's a man on the inside, but a woman on the outside." "The maniac has a better nose than we do." "Because she had you fooled." "Okay, maybe." "What do you think of guys who dress as girls?" "Disgusting." "What about girls who dress as guys?" " That's not as bad." " Yeah." "Manhood's hard to hide." "It's harder for girls." "Not all girls have big tits." "Not all guys have big dicks." "How's the burger?" "Aren't financial crimes dull?" "Don't you miss us?" "We do too." "It's not the same since you left." " Whose fault is that?" " All mine." "I checked your records." "Rest easy, there's no trace left." "At least you're not sick." "I told the guys you left... because I was always on your case." "You can't go on being indifferent." "As your confidant, I'm also your accomplice." "Like your Washington pals." "Like Griffin." "You're not the first woman..." "Did you see?" "It's not improving." "Soon I'll scratch right through to the other side." "I need you." "Just name your conditions." "Washington's over." "Drop it." "No more chronic griping." "No rolling your eyes when I talk psychology." "It's very unpleasant." "That's it?" "Left-right, right-left." "That's it." "Push." "Are you all the way in?" "Good." "Remember, he's a little green." "Go easy, but if he tests you..." "Jimmy..." "Damn it." "It's not bad." "It's what we could get." "They bulldozed the old place." "Dufour's over there." "Mayrand, Parent." "This desk is free." "Fancy that." "Have a seat." "You should try cortisone for your eczema." "Because it's "psycho"-somatic?" "Thank you." "Still the same." "Should I change?" "Of course not." "What do we tell the others?" "Well..." " Any suggestions?" " lf you wouldn't mind." "We didn't replace you." "Shrinks are easier to find than people who'll put up with you." "Maybe." "We can say I'm not ready to talk." "I need time." "You know they won't buy that." "What will I do here?" "lnvestigations." "What else?" "Still on tranquilizers?" "You want to know the color of my panties too?" "We want to get to know the people we work with." "It's about trust. lt's important between police officers." "We never know when we'll get shot by a maniac." "Friends aren't just for coffee." "Friends can save your skin." "Leave the guys to me." "Yeah?" "Tell me about the CAP cases." "You're raring to go..." "titans boxing CLUB" "The guys never go out back." "They hang around here." "Who knows why he was there?" "We'll talk to each of them." "Miss your buddies from the pen?" "Ever try tennis?" "How many have permits here?" "You might be a cop, but I'd deck you one anyway." "I've known crooks who were less polite." "Jimmy had no enemies here." "Just clients, is that it?" "I'll do you a favor." "Tell me the truth and I won't close your gym." "I gave you the truth." "Leave me alone." " Find me a suspect." " Easier said than done." "Johnson's on my case." "Do you mind?" "We need something to show him." "What do I do?" "Take the shakiest guy and lean on him." "He turns over one of the boys, or we haul him in." "It's her." "Johnson went after her." "She called. I put her through." "She wants to come back." " You've been talking to her?" " lt's been weeks." "So, how's it going?" "Nothing's happening." "Will it never end with her?" "Not with her, I mean with her mysterious ways." "You believed Johnson?" "Just shut up." "At least she's back." "I'm here to make sure you and Durivage retire happily?" "I want you to help me save face." "It's cowardly." "I thought you wanted me for my talent, not as an insurance policy." "Both." "You'll keep using me?" "My job is to use people." "That's not all." "You'll say yes... because you like me, you're a good girl, and you made sure we'd meet." "And Savaria?" "Spying is your thing, not mine." "Yes." "We're there." "Another body." "You'd better be good." "Let's go." " Parent." " Yes." "If Thomas calls, give him my cell number." "You're holding out." "Your story's too simple." "It's not simple." "That's why I need time." "Sure." "She needs time." "You'll put up with anything." "Look at Rita." " l'm fine with it." " l'm not." " He lost $500 at cards." " Shut up." "That's why he's in a bad mood." "Look... I'm not sick." "I wasn't raped in Washington." "Nothing about me concerns you." "It's just very private, and I'm reserved." "Reserved?" "You cried when you quit." "We know you kept in touch with Parent." "It was hard for me, but it doesn't affect you." "Why did Johnson say you bypassed the system?" " You didn't go to cop school." " l'm on contract." "Johnson likes to put the heat on." "I'm not the only shrink in that situation." "She's right." "What are they doing?" "I like you, but..." "Hey, let's go." "Nice atmosphere." "This will be good for team spirit." "We rarely work with another squad." " Are you for real?" " l'm being positive." "On vacation?" "is your boss in the sauna?" "He's questioning a suspect." "What's she doing here?" "She came back?" "is it any of your business?" "So, where is he?" "Or do I have to search?" "Search." "Pardon me?" "That way." "You two, come with me." "Hey, guys..." "Round up the rest of them." "Too hot?" "Need ventilation?" "I had an iv." "Eating through your veins?" "At the hospital." "Might not pass a drug test." "You think I killed Jimmy?" "I don't." "What do you guys think?" "We're just making a living." "One name." "Your choice." "You clam up, I haul you in." "Let's talk before you hit the road." "Wait over there." " We're on to something." " No fun for us either." "If you did your job..." " Never seen this in my career." " Maybe your career's over." "We're done here." " l have questions." " Ask your boss." "Be polite to the lady." "Was that really necessary?" "Looks like revenge." "I can see why the CAP guys are pissed off." "We shouldn't be here." "Just between us." "Not one victim has a police record." "Police record." "Record or no record, they can still be rotten." "They will be, eventually." "Such a joker." "Mayrand here." " You all right?" " l'm fine." "Where are you techies?" "Waiting for the evidence to be erased?" "We're waiting for you." "Any bets we get screwed?" "We've got stabbings, shootings..." "Murders of every sort." "Even... high-heeled murders." "I'm going to try this on." "My shoes..." "Forget something?" "Guys..." "Briefing." "Okay." "Durivage was just trying to improve his image." "You take Leduc." "Who's Leduc?" "That guy, there." "Grill him." "Jean-Marie, stay with the techies." " Got the family album?" " Yes." "Jimmy Pace is the seventh body, but we don't know his story." "Reid, 33, strangled with a brass wire." "Atkins, 45, pushed from the seventh floor." "Simoneau, 40, stabbed." "Poitras, 30, also stabbed." "King, shot in the head with a .38." "And Lombino, 52." "Beaten with a blunt object." " Yeah." " All men." "None have records, but they have rough backgrounds." "What's a rough background?" "Underprivileged." "Crummy jobs." "Alcoholics, bikers, bar flies." "What are we doing here?" "Simple, looking for the psycho." "In the meantime, we found this beside the body." "A stiletto heel." "For dancing in the ring." " CAP..." " What about CAP?" " When did the stats slide?" " Since forever." "But never this bad." "Since when?" " About six months." "Why?" " Statistically impossible." "Seven murderers can't all stump the same squad at once." "Logically, it's the same killer." " There's another clue." " What?" "Besides the high heel, there's signs of wrestling." " Wrestling?" " Passionate wrestling, get it?" "You mean sexual relations?" "We'll have to analyze it, but it looks like sperm." " l want to see the manager." " Right away." "You wanted to frame one of your buddies?" "Not my buddies." "Patterson." "Who's Patterson?" "Look." "He's beside the ring with Lamarche." "He had a few run-ins with Jimmy." "So you accuse him?" "They had me cornered." "You think he did it?" "They forced me to say that." "I can't stand the guy, so I don't care." "Where's Cassius?" "Cassius..." "Over by the ring." "Want to talk to him first?" "I'm not interested in him." "Excuse me." "What did the CAP guys say?" "To stick around." "He wanted to frame a guy just to get rid of Durivage." "Get his address, anyway." "Hold on." "Relax." "Gabriel..." "A woman who had her shoes stolen followed the thief." "Check it out." "Call me." "Okay." "Kid, you come with me." "Okay." " Who are you?" " l'm a psychologist." " A shrink?" " Yes." "I'm trying to understand what happened." "No one here could be a suspect?" "Going to analyze me, or hear me out?" "I ask questions for a reason." "So far, the cops haven't really cared." "It just looks that way." "This gym is no gold mine." "We don't need trouble." "How do you stay afloat?" "The guys pay." "No, Mr. Lamarche." "CAP told us your boxers have debts and they had no income." "Look," "Even a woman can understand." "The dead guy..." "He was my best prospect." "His next win would've covered our expenses for a month." "His death didn't benefit you." "You catch on quick." "Could your rivals gain from the death of your rising star?" "It's just a question." "It doesn't work that way." "To hurt me, they could've bought him instead of killing him." "If they had the money." "Jimmy wasn't out for a walk." "We think he had a sexual encounter." "Yes." "And that annoys me." "Any of the guys gay?" "Gay boxers?" " Answer me." " No, Jimmy wasn't gay." "Do any women come here?" "Let's see his locker." "I can't stand gyms." "It's the smell that gets me." "No worse than the morgue." " lt's worse." " Think so?" "At the morgue there's no choice." "Corpses can't help the way they smell." "But these guys are alive." "They could make an effort." "You're quite a sneak." "Pardon me?" " You talked to Fortier?" " No." "She told me." "She said we spoke after she quit?" "I mean, during her absence." "You said "during her absence," not me." " That's because..." " Listen up, kid." "I don't mind you being friends with her." "I know... there's a certain affinity between you." "But don't ever do that to me again." "Understood?" "Christ." " Hello." " Hi." "I followed him here." "He's a real sicko." "That's for sure." "But it's a good thing it's not winter." "We waited for you, as it's your case." "Good call." " Where do we go?" " Second door." "Thanks." "Let's check it out." "What?" "Come over here." " l'll go." " Right."
