Saint-Pierre (2025) s02e01 Episode Script
Sleep No More
1
- Inspector Fitzpatrick?
- Fitz, please.
I'm Marcus Villeneuve,
and this is my deputy chief.
Arch.
Welcome.
We both know you're just laying low
till the crap you started blows over.
I don't know if you realize this or not,
but I'm on your side.
You can talk to me.
Gallagher was in deep
with weapons smugglers.
I've got him, Fitz!
This is my youngest, Rowan.
You believe that Rowan
is behind your son's death?
Zola Augustin was adamant
that we look into Gallagher.
You need to drop this investigation.
Sean Gallagher is your father.
My mom's lies
I'm on this damn island because of them.
Stop! Gallagher, let Marcus go.
There is more to live for, Sean.
Please!
Gallagher, no!
Deputy Chief Archambault,
this Sean Gallagher graveyard debacle
You both gave statements, but
are you both absolutely sure
the statement
is the one you stand behind?
Why wouldn't we stand
by our sworn statement?
I know her pretty well.
I'd take that as a yes.
One person is dead.
Two seriously injured.
If either of you are holding back,
I don't think I need to tell you
the consequences
that would be in play.
There's no reason
why we'd withhold information.
In my role as Prefect,
my directive from Interpol
and Paris HQ is to make sure of that.
So, let's start at the beginning.
Sorry, Prefect, but
they've discovered a body.
Well, I guess this round of
questioning will have to wait.
I want updates, Archambault,
on all ongoing cases going forward.
Until we figure out your and the
inspector's future at the SPMP.
Until she figures out
our futures at the SPMP?
Is it just me,
or does Diard seem to think
that she's our boss now?
Mm, for the time being, she is.
Le préfet is the president's
eyes and ears in Saint-Pierre.
And, lucky for us
policing is part of her portfolio.
But she's not a cop.
No, worse.
- A former cop.
- Ah.
She used to run the SPMP,
so of course she thinks
she knows how we should
do our jobs better than we do.
Brutal.
How do you feel about
having to talk to her
about the whole, y'know,
graveyard, the shoot-out?
Stop!
Gallagher, no!
No feelings.
We just need to tell her the truth.
Okay.
Behold, the old fish plant.
It's bleak.
Very bleak.
You have to see for yourself.
God help us.
" J'ai tué le sommeil.
Je ne dormirai plus jamais ."
"I have murdered sleep
"I shall sleep no more."
The building was abandoned in the 80s.
It's scheduled to be demolished.
The construction workers
were starting their day
when they found him.
Yeah, no cameras inside or outside,
no CCTV near by. It's a dead zone.
Any luck ID'ing the body?
We're working on it.
If he's a local, it won't be too hard.
"Gruesome" doesn't come close
to describing this.
Most of his organs were removed.
They're over there.
Well, they weren't removed in here.
There's almost no blood anywhere
on the floor or walls.
Nothing.
I want this room scrubbed
for DNA, hair, everything.
Well, that will be hard, Arch.
Kids have been using this place
as a late-night party spot
since I was in high school.
I mean, everybody in Saint-Pierre's DNA
will be down here somewhere.
Oh, gross.
But it's true.
I can't believe it.
Believe what?
Why am I getting the feeling
that you guys have seen
something like this before?
Because
we have.
Saint-Pierre has a serial killer?
Had.
The case was closed long ago.
It was before my time,
but the "Abstract Killer" case is famous.
Three original victims.
James Montgomery,
Hélène Bry,
Coleen Noel.
Our John Doe today was presented
in exactly the same way,
right down to the paint on the bodies.
As if their bodies were a canvas.
And like our John Doe,
all the victims were mutilated
and their internal organs removed.
The previous murders,
there were no messages left at the scene.
Not that I know of.
Who were the original suspects
of the Abstract killings?
Initially, Antoine Vigneau.
And then, in the end,
evidence led to this man:
Daniel McConnell.
Antoine, this guy,
he was at the scene today.
He was in an altercation.
With him.
Claude Jackman.
He was married to Hélène.
The entire island is panicked.
Word is out that
the Abstract Killer's back.
They're wrong.
The Abstract Killer was Daniel McConnell.
These cases were closed.
The Prefect would know.
She was lead on this case.
I was.
Oh
So, how did you land
on McConnell as the murderer?
The stack of evidence that led us to him.
Not to mention, McConnell confessed.
So, whoever killed your John Doe,
it isn't the Abstract Killer.
Then I guess the first thing
we need to do
is go talk to this Daniel McConnell.
Um, I
he's he's dead.
I shot him.
In self-defence.
Right before he tried
to put a fish knife in my gut.
Hm
Be that as it may,
given the obvious similarities,
it would be idiotic not to look
and see if there's a link.
Well
we wouldn't want to be idiotic.
One of the contractors
on site ID'd our victim.
His name is Bryan Montgomery.
Montgomery?
As in James Montgomery?
Brothers.
So, the Abstract Killer's
first victim from 15 years ago,
and our new victim today
are brothers?
Hell of a coincidence.
Renuf, get down
to Bryan Montgomery's house
and seal it off.
We'll need forensics there as
soon as possible to sweep the place.
Natasha's got a preliminary report.
Antoine, right?
What they say about me, the accusations,
they're not true.
Okay, well, why don't you
tell us why you're here, then?
I drove Hélène home that night,
the night she died,
from a party, and
I told the police all of this
a million times.
It's been 15 years, for Christ's sake.
It's just that today,
when I saw that he's back,
I knew you'd be coming back for me.
The whole town will.
Do you want to come inside, Mr. Vigneau?
I've spent enough time in that place.
Just leave me alone.
I didn't hurt anyone.
The Abstract Killer returns.
I lived here back then.
It was an ugly time.
No one wanted to leave their houses.
Kind of sickening to think
that he's still out there.
So you think this is his handiwork?
Well, after briefly looking at the file,
similar technique, although
the original had clean incisions.
What about Bryan here?
Well, at first glance,
the cuts show some hesitancy.
Noted. And time of death?
Pinpointed between 8:00 and 9:00 PM.
But, like in the Abstract Killer murders,
the vic was sliced from stem to stern.
He was gutted.
With a long, thin blade.
Fish filleting kind of thing.
Not hard to find those around here.
Whoever did this
didn't do it at the scene.
They would have needed,
like, a killing floor,
somewhere remote where they
could control the variables, clean up.
Yeah, well, wherever that was,
it would have made a mess.
Um
Look at this bruising.
So, I'm not sure
what could have caused it
but it looks like he was pelted
with a bunch of sharp rocks.
Once I'm able to really dig in,
pardon the pun,
um, I'll have some answers.
Hm. Likin' the new suit, Fitz.
Oh
- Okay, thank you.
- Mm-hm.
Thanks.
Oui, hello?
Oui, Madame la Préfète, oui.
The coroner will send
her report to the station.
Yeah, of course, we will share
everything with you.
Okay.
You'd think we'd never solved
a homicide case together.
She really wants us to cross
our "T"s and dot our "I"s.
I miss Marcus.
Me too, Arch. Me too.
Oh, can we make a quick stop at Veda's?
I think it'll help.
Ah, I figured I'd see you two
before day's end.
Still can't believe, Bryan Montgomery,
murdered in the same exact way
his brother was.
You worked the Abstract Killer case.
Mm-hm. Still haunts me.
Never seen such acts
of human depravity in my life.
And I hoped I'd never see it again.
Diard somehow thinks that
this murder is not connected.
Yeah, I have to say, it feels a lot
like she just doesn't want us
digging around in her old case.
And Diard is such a micromanager.
Even if Bryan was murdered
by the Abstract Killer,
her ego would never let her admit
that she was wrong all those years ago.
What do you mean, wrong?
Nobody wanted to believe
that we had a serial killer on our hands.
The brass wanted to get things
cleared up as fast as possible.
You don't think Diard got the right guy?
Diard claimed she got a confession,
but nobody heard it but her.
And then she took him down.
The case launched her
to chief of the SPMP.
She was promoted in record time.
Opened doors for her career in Paris,
and now Prefect.
And then the killings stopped.
What was your theory way back then?
Like everyone else, I liked
Antoine Vigneau for it, but
..I was a lowly beat cop back then,
so Diard did everything in her power
to keep me away from the real action.
Anyway, you guys do what you gotta do.
Just don't get on Diard's bad side.
Trust me.
Boss, she's killing us.
When are you coming back?
Well, she's not too keen
on seeing me again,
judging by how fast she signed
those leave of absence papers.
The three of us could have died
back there in that graveyard.
Me in particular.
If you're trying to thank us
for saving your life,
then you're welcome.
You can joke about it all you want, Arch,
but the bottom line is,
you two did save my life.
Not sure how to get my head
around what Gallagher did to me.
Don't drink too much on this leave.
We need you back pronto.
10-4.
Marcus bringing up Gallagher like that
You think he knows?
That Gallagher's your father? I doubt it.
If it got out, people will question
my professional integrity, loyalty.
And Diard would have a field day.
The way I see it, the only three people
who can actually know
are you, me, and your mother.
And if anyone else finds out, Arch
who cares?
We've been searching
Bryan Montgomery's house
and doing a sweep of the property.
We found this laptop.
And there's something else
you need to see.
Crazy, no?
Abstract Killer victim Hélène Bry.
And this is her sister, Chantel.
Bryan Montgomery's brother was murdered
by the Abstract Killer, sure,
but this is still a little obsessive.
Makes one wonder
Did Bryan kill his brother 15 years ago?
Right, someone finds out,
they exact revenge.
They stage Bryan's body
in the exact same way?
Well, look at this.
Bryan seemed as sure as everyone else
that Antoine was the killer.
Okay, document all of this.
I want everything in here dusted
and these walls of crazy logged.
And listen, check around the property,
see if you can find a shed
or a garage somewhere
where the actual murder
might have taken place.
Mm-hm, okay.
The photos down there,
of Antoine Vigneau,
they they look recent.
So everything
leads back to Bryan Montgomery.
Maybe he found something
that, you know
he shouldn't have.
Look at that car.
I saw it outside Bryan's.
Is he following us?
He's definitely following us.
Who's dumb enough to tail
a police car in broad daylight?
I don't know.
Fitz, don't do what I think
you're about to do.
What do you think I'm gonna do?
Out!
Hands where we can see them!
Don't shoot! Please!
Why were you following us?
I'm sorry, okay?
I just I thought that you'd
lead us to some answers.
We were freaked out about Bryan's murder.
"Us"? "We"?
Claude.
He was married to my sister, Hélène,
when she was killed.
We gather at Bryan's place to
remember our loved ones, and
We saw Bryan's basement.
There was a lot more going on down there
than, uh, grief support.
Were you investigating
the Abstract Killer murders?
We know who the real Abstract Killer is.
And it's not the one
that you guys killed in custody
McConnell.
We know Antoine killed my sister.
Witnesses saw him drive her
the night she was murdered.
Do you know that he was
a painter? An artist?
Hey, hey! Why are you holding her?
- Claude, it's fine.
- I'm sorry, why are you here?
They told me you took our car
and you're holding it
at some kind of impound?
Chan, did they run you off the road?
We can sue you, you know!
Why don't you take a seat?
And a breath.
Then tell us more about the
relationship between you both.
She's my wife.
Oh.
We were under the impression
you were married to her sister.
Hélène was murdered 15 years ago.
We found comfort in each other.
When Hélène died, I stopped living,
working, school
I lost my university scholarship.
I lost everything.
Yeah, we both did.
Okay, so, do not sit here
in judgement about us
or how we helped each other cope
and move on.
Look, are we allowed to go?
No.
Not without a formal statement.
Now, listen to my warning:
Do not interfere
in this investigation again.
Let us do our jobs.
You did your jobs last time.
Don't count on us just standing
by while you mess this up again.
Why are Hélène Bry's
husband and sister here?
We discussed this.
The Abstract Killer cases are closed.
Chantel was following us.
She was interfering
with our investigation.
Are you aware that those two, they're
they're married now?
Hélène is murdered,
Chantel loses a sister,
Claude loses his wife
They fall into each other's arms
in grief, or
Or they wanted Hélène out of the picture
so they could be together.
Seriously?
And what motive would they have
to kill Bryan Montgomery?
Or the other original victims?
Maybe they found out
that Bryan was the killer.
Or the others.
We'd have to figure that out.
Leave the past in the past.
And call me when you have
viable proof about this murder.
I get her being protective of her case,
but you don't think?
Well, for some reason,
she doesn't want us
digging up those cases from the past.
Or her real beef
with me, you, Marcus
She was kept in the dark
about the undercover sting
Marcus was running against Gallagher.
She would have loved to be
on the inside with Interpol.
- Ah.
- What's up?
There is a forensic psychologist
who consulted on the original murders,
Dr. Théo Fouchard.
I reached out to see
if he would meet with us.
But Diard just said
keep the past in the past?
Yeah, then, I guess
we shouldn't tell her.
Oh, wow, is that
Martinique?
Arch thought you might be able to help us
with an investigation that we're working.
The rumours are already
spreading across the island.
"The Abstract Killer returns."
Is that what you think?
My old case materials
With some age, a PhD, and a decade-plus
of clinical research under my belt,
it will be interesting to look
at the case through a new lens.
You sound excited.
Concerned.
Everything about
Bryan Montgomery's murder
lines up with the original
Abstract Killer's murders.
Except this.
"I have murdered sleep.
I shall sleep no more."
A crude paraphrase.
"Macbeth does murder sleep.
Macbeth shall sleep no more."
Clearly he is sending us a message.
The Abstract Killer is awake.
Actually, for context,
Shakespeare's full text
is focused on Macbeth's guilt,
you know, the horror he was feeling
for the murder he committed.
Well, that would assume that
the Abstract Killer feels remorse.
Would you mind
getting the lights, Inspector?
Uh
Daniel McConnell.
The supposed Abstract Killer.
Once Diard killed him,
the murders did stop.
McConnell was involved
in a string of violent offences
for which he seemed remorseless,
and was an aircraft machinist.
Are you aware that's
one of the top professions
associated with serial killers?
I'm not.
Am I sensing that you didn't
think McConnell was guilty?
Well, when interviewed,
McConnell postured,
provided vague details,
and he had little knowledge of
the holdback evidence police had.
Maybe he was just lying.
You know, or smarter than the cops
who were interviewing him.
Perhaps.
But serial killers torture,
extinguish life for
their own visceral pleasure,
for some form of reward.
The way these killers behave,
their psychodynamics,
what motivates them
McConnell's profile
matched none of the known perpetrators.
What if he had another motivator?
You know, like anger, revenge,
or maybe just wanted some attention?
It's an urban myth that
serial killers want to be caught
or that they love publicity.
Whoever the Abstract Killer is,
their motivation is genetic.
See, humans were hardwired
to recognize predators.
It's our "fight or flight" response,
our biological gift of fear.
Likewise, some are genetically
programmed for "moral evil."
The serial killer gene
is potentially in you.
In me.
What about Antoine Vigneau?
A simple man.
Those slayings were planned,
meticulously staged.
I suppose he can't be ruled out.
We'll speak to Antoine
when we leave here.
Hm
"The Killer Next Door"?
Despite the FBI's mantra
that only 1% of murders
can be attributed to serial killers,
well, we now know that
they are in fact responsible
for far more murders,
- as many as 1 in 20.
- Hm.
It's nice that you have them
all laid out like this.
Why don't you take a copy?
Maybe you'll learn something.
Okay. Thank you for your time.
It's been very helpful.
Fitz? Let's go speak to Antoine.
Antoine's house is up here.
Donald Fitzpatrick
What even was that back there?
I don't know what you're talking about.
But I will say,
Dr. Death was way too
into this whole thing.
Uh, he's an actual expert on the topic.
Oh, he mentioned that a couple of times.
Fitz!
What? I got a read on the guy.
Oh, yeah, you and your reads.
Arch, he was hitting on you
while we were looking
at photos of gutted humans.
Oh! Well, earlier,
Natasha hit on you
while we were standing over
an actual gutted body.
She was complimenting my new suit!
Which is brand new, and you
didn't even notice, by the way.
I did.
Anyway, I was thinking about
the Shakespeare quote.
Is the killer trying to tell us
he's back, or feeling guilty?
I dunno. Why don't we go back
and talk to Dr. Theo?
Maybe he'll have an answer.
Madame Vigneau? We're the police.
- What's wrong?
- Someone broke into our house!
And my husband, he he
he snapped when we
discovered the mess inside
I was picking things up
and then the next thing, he
he just drove off!
Where is Antoine now? Where did he go?
He was ranting about Claude.
He grabbed something in the shed
He's headed there now.
Did Antoine torch their house?
We just need to hope
Chantel is going to make it.
Claude and Chantel
are going to the hospital.
They'll be okay,
but obviously they're shook.
There is some damage,
but luckily the fire department
got here fast.
Search Antoine Vigneau's house, his shed,
and I want him in for questioning.
Forensics are gonna need to
test everything on this property.
And we found this.
Paint thinner.
Could have been the accelerant.
Paint thinner? Antoine the painter?
We know you broke into
Antoine Vigneau's house.
Don't try to deny it.
I was looking for the murder weapon
that was used to kill Bryan.
We gave you direct instructions
to stay out of this investigation
and let us do our jobs.
Yeah, well, you weren't
exactly doing your jobs
when the actual Abstract Killer
tried to burn my house down
and kill Chantel.
Do you have any idea
why Antoine would want
to do something like this
to you, Chantel?
Look, three few weeks ago,
Claude, Bryan, and I were at Le Rustic,
and Claude stepped out to smoke.
The second that he was gone,
Antoine cornered Bryan and me,
and he told us that if we didn't
stop digging up stuff on him,
there'd be consequences.
And then Bryan ends up dead.
Antoine's been right in front of you
this entire time.
Tell us about the fire.
I wasn't home.
When I got back,
the fire had already started,
and I saw Antoine drive away.
What did you find
when you were at Antoine's?
Nothing.
Well, as soon as you're
cleared from the doctors,
you'll be facing charges
for breaking and entering.
So don't get too comfortable.
"in the shape of a servant,
"to tell the duchess
that her carriage was waiting."
Give me a second.
"I must go away"
Geneviève?
Freeze!
Stop!
Gallagher, no!
I spent years hating the man,
wanting to take him down.
And now?
And now, somehow, I'm
I'm worried about him.
That's a lot.
Yeah
Well, I'm very sorry
for nearly killing your real dad.
Well, you were just
trying to save my life.
- You were trying to save my life, right?
- I was.
Renuf?
Did you find Antoine?
Ah, no sign of Antoine.
We showed up at his place,
but his wife Pauline was home.
She said Antoine
didn't come home last night.
You search the house?
Okay, don't get mad. Not yet.
Instead, I did a stake-out.
I was thinking maybe Antoine comes back
or Pauline gets spooked.
And then what happened?
Well, I was right. Pauline got spooked.
She left ten minutes ago in a panic.
I'm following her now.
Stay with her.
Yes.
Pauline! Stop!
Pauline! Don't move!
Don't move, Pauline!
What's your take on the murder?
We're for sure missing something.
I know it.
One theory I had was that
McConnell had an accomplice.
Or two.
Can I ask you a question?
Of course.
You took out McConnell
How did that go?
I knew McConnell was our guy,
in my gut and on paper.
I shouldn't have gone
alone to question him,
but I wanted to prove myself.
Yeah, I get that. Trust me.
He assumed I was too weak
to fight him off;
probably thought he had his next victim.
And what a coup: a cop.
Is that Bryan Montgomery's laptop?
Yeah, I I'm on it.
Did you find anything?
Not yet, but I'm working on it.
The thing is encrypted.
Mm
Patty
I see all you do here,
and I want us to help each other.
So, if you find anything,
anything at all that seems
off, come to me.
You mean with the case, or?
I think you'll know.
This was the murder weapon used
in the original
Abstract Killer's murders.
And this
..was the knife you tried
to dump in the harbour.
We're having that knife tested.
And we're willing to bet that it was used
in Bryan Montgomery's murder.
Where's your husband, Antoine?
'Cause last night he tried
to set Claude and Chantel's
house on fire.
With Chantel inside.
I don't know where Antoine is.
The knife
Claude broke into our house
the night before.
He might have put it there
to frame Antoine!
People have suspected
your husband was a killer
for years.
Is it possible
that you worked together?
What? Why
It's not inconceivable
that you and your husband
killed Bryan as a team.
Listen to me.
Antoine, he's been haunted
with all of this
for 15 years.
And Bryan
Pauline?
What was it you were about to say?
I I didn't want to say.
It doesn't look good.
Finish that sentence, Pauline.
Antoine
Listen, Bryan was at our house
the day he died.
He and Antoine, they
they talked for a long time.
And when Bryan left, Antoine
..seemed
..lighter.
He was happy.
Even got us pizza to celebrate.
What did Bryan Montgomery
say to your husband?
I don't know, but whatever it was,
it seemed like good news.
We need you outside. Now.
Don't come near me! Stay back!
Antoine!
I'll do it
I didn't kill anyone!
This isn't the best approach
to convince us of that, Antoine.
I've had enough!
No one listens!
Let's just say that you
didn't kill anyone, all right?
I didn't.
Are you aware that
you nearly killed Chantel
when you fire-bombed her house?
ANTOINE What? No, that that's a lie!
You put Chantel in the hospital.
No. I checked before.
None of their cars were there.
Her car is in the impound.
- She was home.
- What?
What happens if you go through with this?
Who you gonna hurt then, huh?
What happens to your wife?
What happens to Pauline?
We know Bryan Montgomery
went to your house
the day that he was murdered.
What did he say to you?
How do you know about that?
Pauline told us she hadn't
seen you smile in years.
Bryan came by to apologize
for everything that I'd been through.
He had evidence that proved
that I wasn't the serial killer.
What evidence?
He was gonna tell everyone,
but before he could tell you, or
..or the media
he was murdered.
We're gonna look into
whatever Bryan had, okay?
Whatever he was gonna tell you,
we're gonna look into it, trust me.
But right now, what you're doing
is not gonna help you;
it's not gonna help Pauline.
Give me your lighter, pal.
Yeah, there we go.
- Voilà.
- Voilà, voilà.
Bravo!
We looked into Antoine's alibi.
Pauline said the night of the murder,
he went to get pizza, alone.
Did anyone at the pizza place see him?
No, it was a busy night,
but I found this.
There's an ATM,
and Antoine took out 20 Euros.
8:07
Bryan's time of death is clocked
between 8:00 and 9:00 PM.
And his order took over half an hour,
so right in that time window.
Yeah, I know that place.
They are so slow.
So, Antoine's off the table.
What about the knife?
It's an exact replica
of the Abstract Killer's murder weapon
uncovered 15 years ago.
But it's new, and it's a unique brand.
Can you track the sale?
Yeah, I'll check with the manufacturer
to see if any were
shipped to Saint-Pierre
in the last five months.
I have got good news.
Ish.
Bryan Montgomery was staged to look like
an Abstract Killer victim.
"To look like"? What do you mean?
Cause of death was
blunt force trauma to the head.
He had multiple wounds on his face
and a massive contusion
on the back of his skull.
So, none of this seemed particularly odd
at first glance, as the rest of
the body was mutilated.
And what about the other hallmarks
associated with the Abstract Killer?
The organ removal?
Done post-mortem, and, as I predicted,
not as skillfully
as the previous victims.
McConnell used a knife
to kill his victims.
- Straight to the abdomen.
- Correct.
So this was a copycat killer.
Looks like it.
Yeah, but who is the copycat?
If Antoine and Pauline
are telling the truth
if Bryan did have evidence
clearing Antoine
of suspicion of the Abstract killings
There are two people
who might not appreciate that.
What about the bruising
on Montgomery's back?
What did you make of it?
They happened the same time as death.
But as to what caused it,
I'm still not sure.
I think I know.
Claude?
What's going on?
Secure and search this area.
Claude Jackman
You're coming with us.
You were a lit major.
You were one, right?
It's just odd.
Most French literature majors
would choose,
I dunno, Molière, or even Marivaux.
Yet the scholarship you gave up,
you specialized in a certain 16th-century
English playwright.
Your house had
a very impressive collection
of Shakespeare.
And I love this play. Macbeth.
Macbeth was a warrior,
like a killer, really.
But when he had to murder someone,
a friend, someone he knew,
in cold blood, he was
so overwhelmed with remorse
that he went mad.
You're the Shakespeare expert.
Is that what this message was all about?
The killer's remorse?
Okay.
Let's talk about Chantel.
Leave Chantel out of this.
We know Chantel bought this knife.
Chantel bought this knife
because that's the knife
the Abstract killer used.
She was just trying
to put together the pieces
of the cases again,
pieces that you all missed.
Right, okay, but we also know
this was the knife
that was used to mutilate
Bryan Montgomery's body, but
it's not what killed him.
We haven't found the first murder weapon,
the one used to hit Bryan
in the back of the head.
But we know he fell on this bed of rocks.
That's at your house.
Your and Chantel's house.
Now which one of you killed Bryan?
Was it you, or was it Chantel?
Chantel never killed anybody.
All she ever wanted
was justice for Hélène,
for what happened to her sister.
She wanted to bring
the real killer to justice.
You've always maintained
that you believe Antoine
is the true Abstract Killer.
Because he is!
Did Bryan Montgomery agree?
Bryan, he had evidence
that cleared Antoine.
Were you aware of that?
I'm gonna take that as a yes.
Is that what caused
the rift between you two?
Bryan believed Antoine was innocent.
Do you guys know that the last
time I saw Hélène, we had a fight?
We were just kids. We were at a bar.
She was just dancing with
this guy and I got jealous.
She wanted to have a little fun
and I ruined it.
And then she left, and that's
the last time I saw her,
because of Antoine.
So Bryan's new evidence,
it took away
any chance you had at justice.
It made you angry.
The night of his death,
Bryan came to your house.
Is that when he told you?
I don't remember.
Bryan wanted to give up.
He just wanted to move on with his life.
He
I don't care what evidence
he thought he had.
He was just trying to
stop chasing ghosts.
I have this rage inside me.
I've had it all these years.
Claude?
What did you do?
What did you do?
There's a shed near my house.
I took his body there.
I thought that maybe
my only way out of this
was to stage his body
like one of
the Abstract Killer's murders.
Maybe that would get your attention.
Maybe that would get you
to focus on Antoine.
He is the real killer.
Claude
You may not be a serial killer,
but you're definitely a murderer.
I can't forgive myself
for what I did to Bryan.
I will never un-see that.
But you mark my words,
the real Abstract Killer is still alive,
and he will kill again.
You just wait and see.
Before you go, we still
have some business to attend to.
You might as well come with me.
I'm sure you've had time
to coordinate your stories.
Gallagher, no!
Arch!
Zola Augustin
was trying to kill Gallagher?
She blamed him for the
death of her son and her husband.
Fitz, you shot Gallagher?
I saw him turn his gun toward Arch.
I was in Zola's direct line of fire.
And under oath you swore
Zola Augustin bled out
before paramedics could intervene.
It's quite a story.
It's not a story.
It's exactly what happened.
And is this what Sean Gallagher will say?
You could ask him
if he pulls through.
We good?
I didn't know you could cook, Fitz!
Well, let's see what you
have to say after you eat.
What do you think
of what Claude had to say?
What, that the Abstract
Killer's still out there?
So weird that we even had
a serial killer in Saint-Pierre.
It feels off.
I know what you mean.
Know what else feels off?
I finally broke into Bryan's laptop.
And?
There's nothing special on it, at all.
No hidden files.
Like, why bother encrypt it?
Hey, maybe Claude was right.
Bryan was just tired of chasing ghosts.
Hi.
Hey.
Hey!
Glad you made it.
Hope you guys like the good stuff.
- Mmm.
- Hey.
Do you dare to look him
right in the eyes? ♪
Yeah ♪
Oh, 'cause they will run you down ♪
Down till the dark ♪
Yes, and they will run you down ♪
Down till you fall ♪
And they will run you down ♪
Down to your core ♪
Yeah, so you can't crawl no more ♪
And way down we go, go, go, go, go ♪
Way down we go ♪
Sub extracted from file & improved by
- Inspector Fitzpatrick?
- Fitz, please.
I'm Marcus Villeneuve,
and this is my deputy chief.
Arch.
Welcome.
We both know you're just laying low
till the crap you started blows over.
I don't know if you realize this or not,
but I'm on your side.
You can talk to me.
Gallagher was in deep
with weapons smugglers.
I've got him, Fitz!
This is my youngest, Rowan.
You believe that Rowan
is behind your son's death?
Zola Augustin was adamant
that we look into Gallagher.
You need to drop this investigation.
Sean Gallagher is your father.
My mom's lies
I'm on this damn island because of them.
Stop! Gallagher, let Marcus go.
There is more to live for, Sean.
Please!
Gallagher, no!
Deputy Chief Archambault,
this Sean Gallagher graveyard debacle
You both gave statements, but
are you both absolutely sure
the statement
is the one you stand behind?
Why wouldn't we stand
by our sworn statement?
I know her pretty well.
I'd take that as a yes.
One person is dead.
Two seriously injured.
If either of you are holding back,
I don't think I need to tell you
the consequences
that would be in play.
There's no reason
why we'd withhold information.
In my role as Prefect,
my directive from Interpol
and Paris HQ is to make sure of that.
So, let's start at the beginning.
Sorry, Prefect, but
they've discovered a body.
Well, I guess this round of
questioning will have to wait.
I want updates, Archambault,
on all ongoing cases going forward.
Until we figure out your and the
inspector's future at the SPMP.
Until she figures out
our futures at the SPMP?
Is it just me,
or does Diard seem to think
that she's our boss now?
Mm, for the time being, she is.
Le préfet is the president's
eyes and ears in Saint-Pierre.
And, lucky for us
policing is part of her portfolio.
But she's not a cop.
No, worse.
- A former cop.
- Ah.
She used to run the SPMP,
so of course she thinks
she knows how we should
do our jobs better than we do.
Brutal.
How do you feel about
having to talk to her
about the whole, y'know,
graveyard, the shoot-out?
Stop!
Gallagher, no!
No feelings.
We just need to tell her the truth.
Okay.
Behold, the old fish plant.
It's bleak.
Very bleak.
You have to see for yourself.
God help us.
" J'ai tué le sommeil.
Je ne dormirai plus jamais ."
"I have murdered sleep
"I shall sleep no more."
The building was abandoned in the 80s.
It's scheduled to be demolished.
The construction workers
were starting their day
when they found him.
Yeah, no cameras inside or outside,
no CCTV near by. It's a dead zone.
Any luck ID'ing the body?
We're working on it.
If he's a local, it won't be too hard.
"Gruesome" doesn't come close
to describing this.
Most of his organs were removed.
They're over there.
Well, they weren't removed in here.
There's almost no blood anywhere
on the floor or walls.
Nothing.
I want this room scrubbed
for DNA, hair, everything.
Well, that will be hard, Arch.
Kids have been using this place
as a late-night party spot
since I was in high school.
I mean, everybody in Saint-Pierre's DNA
will be down here somewhere.
Oh, gross.
But it's true.
I can't believe it.
Believe what?
Why am I getting the feeling
that you guys have seen
something like this before?
Because
we have.
Saint-Pierre has a serial killer?
Had.
The case was closed long ago.
It was before my time,
but the "Abstract Killer" case is famous.
Three original victims.
James Montgomery,
Hélène Bry,
Coleen Noel.
Our John Doe today was presented
in exactly the same way,
right down to the paint on the bodies.
As if their bodies were a canvas.
And like our John Doe,
all the victims were mutilated
and their internal organs removed.
The previous murders,
there were no messages left at the scene.
Not that I know of.
Who were the original suspects
of the Abstract killings?
Initially, Antoine Vigneau.
And then, in the end,
evidence led to this man:
Daniel McConnell.
Antoine, this guy,
he was at the scene today.
He was in an altercation.
With him.
Claude Jackman.
He was married to Hélène.
The entire island is panicked.
Word is out that
the Abstract Killer's back.
They're wrong.
The Abstract Killer was Daniel McConnell.
These cases were closed.
The Prefect would know.
She was lead on this case.
I was.
Oh
So, how did you land
on McConnell as the murderer?
The stack of evidence that led us to him.
Not to mention, McConnell confessed.
So, whoever killed your John Doe,
it isn't the Abstract Killer.
Then I guess the first thing
we need to do
is go talk to this Daniel McConnell.
Um, I
he's he's dead.
I shot him.
In self-defence.
Right before he tried
to put a fish knife in my gut.
Hm
Be that as it may,
given the obvious similarities,
it would be idiotic not to look
and see if there's a link.
Well
we wouldn't want to be idiotic.
One of the contractors
on site ID'd our victim.
His name is Bryan Montgomery.
Montgomery?
As in James Montgomery?
Brothers.
So, the Abstract Killer's
first victim from 15 years ago,
and our new victim today
are brothers?
Hell of a coincidence.
Renuf, get down
to Bryan Montgomery's house
and seal it off.
We'll need forensics there as
soon as possible to sweep the place.
Natasha's got a preliminary report.
Antoine, right?
What they say about me, the accusations,
they're not true.
Okay, well, why don't you
tell us why you're here, then?
I drove Hélène home that night,
the night she died,
from a party, and
I told the police all of this
a million times.
It's been 15 years, for Christ's sake.
It's just that today,
when I saw that he's back,
I knew you'd be coming back for me.
The whole town will.
Do you want to come inside, Mr. Vigneau?
I've spent enough time in that place.
Just leave me alone.
I didn't hurt anyone.
The Abstract Killer returns.
I lived here back then.
It was an ugly time.
No one wanted to leave their houses.
Kind of sickening to think
that he's still out there.
So you think this is his handiwork?
Well, after briefly looking at the file,
similar technique, although
the original had clean incisions.
What about Bryan here?
Well, at first glance,
the cuts show some hesitancy.
Noted. And time of death?
Pinpointed between 8:00 and 9:00 PM.
But, like in the Abstract Killer murders,
the vic was sliced from stem to stern.
He was gutted.
With a long, thin blade.
Fish filleting kind of thing.
Not hard to find those around here.
Whoever did this
didn't do it at the scene.
They would have needed,
like, a killing floor,
somewhere remote where they
could control the variables, clean up.
Yeah, well, wherever that was,
it would have made a mess.
Um
Look at this bruising.
So, I'm not sure
what could have caused it
but it looks like he was pelted
with a bunch of sharp rocks.
Once I'm able to really dig in,
pardon the pun,
um, I'll have some answers.
Hm. Likin' the new suit, Fitz.
Oh
- Okay, thank you.
- Mm-hm.
Thanks.
Oui, hello?
Oui, Madame la Préfète, oui.
The coroner will send
her report to the station.
Yeah, of course, we will share
everything with you.
Okay.
You'd think we'd never solved
a homicide case together.
She really wants us to cross
our "T"s and dot our "I"s.
I miss Marcus.
Me too, Arch. Me too.
Oh, can we make a quick stop at Veda's?
I think it'll help.
Ah, I figured I'd see you two
before day's end.
Still can't believe, Bryan Montgomery,
murdered in the same exact way
his brother was.
You worked the Abstract Killer case.
Mm-hm. Still haunts me.
Never seen such acts
of human depravity in my life.
And I hoped I'd never see it again.
Diard somehow thinks that
this murder is not connected.
Yeah, I have to say, it feels a lot
like she just doesn't want us
digging around in her old case.
And Diard is such a micromanager.
Even if Bryan was murdered
by the Abstract Killer,
her ego would never let her admit
that she was wrong all those years ago.
What do you mean, wrong?
Nobody wanted to believe
that we had a serial killer on our hands.
The brass wanted to get things
cleared up as fast as possible.
You don't think Diard got the right guy?
Diard claimed she got a confession,
but nobody heard it but her.
And then she took him down.
The case launched her
to chief of the SPMP.
She was promoted in record time.
Opened doors for her career in Paris,
and now Prefect.
And then the killings stopped.
What was your theory way back then?
Like everyone else, I liked
Antoine Vigneau for it, but
..I was a lowly beat cop back then,
so Diard did everything in her power
to keep me away from the real action.
Anyway, you guys do what you gotta do.
Just don't get on Diard's bad side.
Trust me.
Boss, she's killing us.
When are you coming back?
Well, she's not too keen
on seeing me again,
judging by how fast she signed
those leave of absence papers.
The three of us could have died
back there in that graveyard.
Me in particular.
If you're trying to thank us
for saving your life,
then you're welcome.
You can joke about it all you want, Arch,
but the bottom line is,
you two did save my life.
Not sure how to get my head
around what Gallagher did to me.
Don't drink too much on this leave.
We need you back pronto.
10-4.
Marcus bringing up Gallagher like that
You think he knows?
That Gallagher's your father? I doubt it.
If it got out, people will question
my professional integrity, loyalty.
And Diard would have a field day.
The way I see it, the only three people
who can actually know
are you, me, and your mother.
And if anyone else finds out, Arch
who cares?
We've been searching
Bryan Montgomery's house
and doing a sweep of the property.
We found this laptop.
And there's something else
you need to see.
Crazy, no?
Abstract Killer victim Hélène Bry.
And this is her sister, Chantel.
Bryan Montgomery's brother was murdered
by the Abstract Killer, sure,
but this is still a little obsessive.
Makes one wonder
Did Bryan kill his brother 15 years ago?
Right, someone finds out,
they exact revenge.
They stage Bryan's body
in the exact same way?
Well, look at this.
Bryan seemed as sure as everyone else
that Antoine was the killer.
Okay, document all of this.
I want everything in here dusted
and these walls of crazy logged.
And listen, check around the property,
see if you can find a shed
or a garage somewhere
where the actual murder
might have taken place.
Mm-hm, okay.
The photos down there,
of Antoine Vigneau,
they they look recent.
So everything
leads back to Bryan Montgomery.
Maybe he found something
that, you know
he shouldn't have.
Look at that car.
I saw it outside Bryan's.
Is he following us?
He's definitely following us.
Who's dumb enough to tail
a police car in broad daylight?
I don't know.
Fitz, don't do what I think
you're about to do.
What do you think I'm gonna do?
Out!
Hands where we can see them!
Don't shoot! Please!
Why were you following us?
I'm sorry, okay?
I just I thought that you'd
lead us to some answers.
We were freaked out about Bryan's murder.
"Us"? "We"?
Claude.
He was married to my sister, Hélène,
when she was killed.
We gather at Bryan's place to
remember our loved ones, and
We saw Bryan's basement.
There was a lot more going on down there
than, uh, grief support.
Were you investigating
the Abstract Killer murders?
We know who the real Abstract Killer is.
And it's not the one
that you guys killed in custody
McConnell.
We know Antoine killed my sister.
Witnesses saw him drive her
the night she was murdered.
Do you know that he was
a painter? An artist?
Hey, hey! Why are you holding her?
- Claude, it's fine.
- I'm sorry, why are you here?
They told me you took our car
and you're holding it
at some kind of impound?
Chan, did they run you off the road?
We can sue you, you know!
Why don't you take a seat?
And a breath.
Then tell us more about the
relationship between you both.
She's my wife.
Oh.
We were under the impression
you were married to her sister.
Hélène was murdered 15 years ago.
We found comfort in each other.
When Hélène died, I stopped living,
working, school
I lost my university scholarship.
I lost everything.
Yeah, we both did.
Okay, so, do not sit here
in judgement about us
or how we helped each other cope
and move on.
Look, are we allowed to go?
No.
Not without a formal statement.
Now, listen to my warning:
Do not interfere
in this investigation again.
Let us do our jobs.
You did your jobs last time.
Don't count on us just standing
by while you mess this up again.
Why are Hélène Bry's
husband and sister here?
We discussed this.
The Abstract Killer cases are closed.
Chantel was following us.
She was interfering
with our investigation.
Are you aware that those two, they're
they're married now?
Hélène is murdered,
Chantel loses a sister,
Claude loses his wife
They fall into each other's arms
in grief, or
Or they wanted Hélène out of the picture
so they could be together.
Seriously?
And what motive would they have
to kill Bryan Montgomery?
Or the other original victims?
Maybe they found out
that Bryan was the killer.
Or the others.
We'd have to figure that out.
Leave the past in the past.
And call me when you have
viable proof about this murder.
I get her being protective of her case,
but you don't think?
Well, for some reason,
she doesn't want us
digging up those cases from the past.
Or her real beef
with me, you, Marcus
She was kept in the dark
about the undercover sting
Marcus was running against Gallagher.
She would have loved to be
on the inside with Interpol.
- Ah.
- What's up?
There is a forensic psychologist
who consulted on the original murders,
Dr. Théo Fouchard.
I reached out to see
if he would meet with us.
But Diard just said
keep the past in the past?
Yeah, then, I guess
we shouldn't tell her.
Oh, wow, is that
Martinique?
Arch thought you might be able to help us
with an investigation that we're working.
The rumours are already
spreading across the island.
"The Abstract Killer returns."
Is that what you think?
My old case materials
With some age, a PhD, and a decade-plus
of clinical research under my belt,
it will be interesting to look
at the case through a new lens.
You sound excited.
Concerned.
Everything about
Bryan Montgomery's murder
lines up with the original
Abstract Killer's murders.
Except this.
"I have murdered sleep.
I shall sleep no more."
A crude paraphrase.
"Macbeth does murder sleep.
Macbeth shall sleep no more."
Clearly he is sending us a message.
The Abstract Killer is awake.
Actually, for context,
Shakespeare's full text
is focused on Macbeth's guilt,
you know, the horror he was feeling
for the murder he committed.
Well, that would assume that
the Abstract Killer feels remorse.
Would you mind
getting the lights, Inspector?
Uh
Daniel McConnell.
The supposed Abstract Killer.
Once Diard killed him,
the murders did stop.
McConnell was involved
in a string of violent offences
for which he seemed remorseless,
and was an aircraft machinist.
Are you aware that's
one of the top professions
associated with serial killers?
I'm not.
Am I sensing that you didn't
think McConnell was guilty?
Well, when interviewed,
McConnell postured,
provided vague details,
and he had little knowledge of
the holdback evidence police had.
Maybe he was just lying.
You know, or smarter than the cops
who were interviewing him.
Perhaps.
But serial killers torture,
extinguish life for
their own visceral pleasure,
for some form of reward.
The way these killers behave,
their psychodynamics,
what motivates them
McConnell's profile
matched none of the known perpetrators.
What if he had another motivator?
You know, like anger, revenge,
or maybe just wanted some attention?
It's an urban myth that
serial killers want to be caught
or that they love publicity.
Whoever the Abstract Killer is,
their motivation is genetic.
See, humans were hardwired
to recognize predators.
It's our "fight or flight" response,
our biological gift of fear.
Likewise, some are genetically
programmed for "moral evil."
The serial killer gene
is potentially in you.
In me.
What about Antoine Vigneau?
A simple man.
Those slayings were planned,
meticulously staged.
I suppose he can't be ruled out.
We'll speak to Antoine
when we leave here.
Hm
"The Killer Next Door"?
Despite the FBI's mantra
that only 1% of murders
can be attributed to serial killers,
well, we now know that
they are in fact responsible
for far more murders,
- as many as 1 in 20.
- Hm.
It's nice that you have them
all laid out like this.
Why don't you take a copy?
Maybe you'll learn something.
Okay. Thank you for your time.
It's been very helpful.
Fitz? Let's go speak to Antoine.
Antoine's house is up here.
Donald Fitzpatrick
What even was that back there?
I don't know what you're talking about.
But I will say,
Dr. Death was way too
into this whole thing.
Uh, he's an actual expert on the topic.
Oh, he mentioned that a couple of times.
Fitz!
What? I got a read on the guy.
Oh, yeah, you and your reads.
Arch, he was hitting on you
while we were looking
at photos of gutted humans.
Oh! Well, earlier,
Natasha hit on you
while we were standing over
an actual gutted body.
She was complimenting my new suit!
Which is brand new, and you
didn't even notice, by the way.
I did.
Anyway, I was thinking about
the Shakespeare quote.
Is the killer trying to tell us
he's back, or feeling guilty?
I dunno. Why don't we go back
and talk to Dr. Theo?
Maybe he'll have an answer.
Madame Vigneau? We're the police.
- What's wrong?
- Someone broke into our house!
And my husband, he he
he snapped when we
discovered the mess inside
I was picking things up
and then the next thing, he
he just drove off!
Where is Antoine now? Where did he go?
He was ranting about Claude.
He grabbed something in the shed
He's headed there now.
Did Antoine torch their house?
We just need to hope
Chantel is going to make it.
Claude and Chantel
are going to the hospital.
They'll be okay,
but obviously they're shook.
There is some damage,
but luckily the fire department
got here fast.
Search Antoine Vigneau's house, his shed,
and I want him in for questioning.
Forensics are gonna need to
test everything on this property.
And we found this.
Paint thinner.
Could have been the accelerant.
Paint thinner? Antoine the painter?
We know you broke into
Antoine Vigneau's house.
Don't try to deny it.
I was looking for the murder weapon
that was used to kill Bryan.
We gave you direct instructions
to stay out of this investigation
and let us do our jobs.
Yeah, well, you weren't
exactly doing your jobs
when the actual Abstract Killer
tried to burn my house down
and kill Chantel.
Do you have any idea
why Antoine would want
to do something like this
to you, Chantel?
Look, three few weeks ago,
Claude, Bryan, and I were at Le Rustic,
and Claude stepped out to smoke.
The second that he was gone,
Antoine cornered Bryan and me,
and he told us that if we didn't
stop digging up stuff on him,
there'd be consequences.
And then Bryan ends up dead.
Antoine's been right in front of you
this entire time.
Tell us about the fire.
I wasn't home.
When I got back,
the fire had already started,
and I saw Antoine drive away.
What did you find
when you were at Antoine's?
Nothing.
Well, as soon as you're
cleared from the doctors,
you'll be facing charges
for breaking and entering.
So don't get too comfortable.
"in the shape of a servant,
"to tell the duchess
that her carriage was waiting."
Give me a second.
"I must go away"
Geneviève?
Freeze!
Stop!
Gallagher, no!
I spent years hating the man,
wanting to take him down.
And now?
And now, somehow, I'm
I'm worried about him.
That's a lot.
Yeah
Well, I'm very sorry
for nearly killing your real dad.
Well, you were just
trying to save my life.
- You were trying to save my life, right?
- I was.
Renuf?
Did you find Antoine?
Ah, no sign of Antoine.
We showed up at his place,
but his wife Pauline was home.
She said Antoine
didn't come home last night.
You search the house?
Okay, don't get mad. Not yet.
Instead, I did a stake-out.
I was thinking maybe Antoine comes back
or Pauline gets spooked.
And then what happened?
Well, I was right. Pauline got spooked.
She left ten minutes ago in a panic.
I'm following her now.
Stay with her.
Yes.
Pauline! Stop!
Pauline! Don't move!
Don't move, Pauline!
What's your take on the murder?
We're for sure missing something.
I know it.
One theory I had was that
McConnell had an accomplice.
Or two.
Can I ask you a question?
Of course.
You took out McConnell
How did that go?
I knew McConnell was our guy,
in my gut and on paper.
I shouldn't have gone
alone to question him,
but I wanted to prove myself.
Yeah, I get that. Trust me.
He assumed I was too weak
to fight him off;
probably thought he had his next victim.
And what a coup: a cop.
Is that Bryan Montgomery's laptop?
Yeah, I I'm on it.
Did you find anything?
Not yet, but I'm working on it.
The thing is encrypted.
Mm
Patty
I see all you do here,
and I want us to help each other.
So, if you find anything,
anything at all that seems
off, come to me.
You mean with the case, or?
I think you'll know.
This was the murder weapon used
in the original
Abstract Killer's murders.
And this
..was the knife you tried
to dump in the harbour.
We're having that knife tested.
And we're willing to bet that it was used
in Bryan Montgomery's murder.
Where's your husband, Antoine?
'Cause last night he tried
to set Claude and Chantel's
house on fire.
With Chantel inside.
I don't know where Antoine is.
The knife
Claude broke into our house
the night before.
He might have put it there
to frame Antoine!
People have suspected
your husband was a killer
for years.
Is it possible
that you worked together?
What? Why
It's not inconceivable
that you and your husband
killed Bryan as a team.
Listen to me.
Antoine, he's been haunted
with all of this
for 15 years.
And Bryan
Pauline?
What was it you were about to say?
I I didn't want to say.
It doesn't look good.
Finish that sentence, Pauline.
Antoine
Listen, Bryan was at our house
the day he died.
He and Antoine, they
they talked for a long time.
And when Bryan left, Antoine
..seemed
..lighter.
He was happy.
Even got us pizza to celebrate.
What did Bryan Montgomery
say to your husband?
I don't know, but whatever it was,
it seemed like good news.
We need you outside. Now.
Don't come near me! Stay back!
Antoine!
I'll do it
I didn't kill anyone!
This isn't the best approach
to convince us of that, Antoine.
I've had enough!
No one listens!
Let's just say that you
didn't kill anyone, all right?
I didn't.
Are you aware that
you nearly killed Chantel
when you fire-bombed her house?
ANTOINE What? No, that that's a lie!
You put Chantel in the hospital.
No. I checked before.
None of their cars were there.
Her car is in the impound.
- She was home.
- What?
What happens if you go through with this?
Who you gonna hurt then, huh?
What happens to your wife?
What happens to Pauline?
We know Bryan Montgomery
went to your house
the day that he was murdered.
What did he say to you?
How do you know about that?
Pauline told us she hadn't
seen you smile in years.
Bryan came by to apologize
for everything that I'd been through.
He had evidence that proved
that I wasn't the serial killer.
What evidence?
He was gonna tell everyone,
but before he could tell you, or
..or the media
he was murdered.
We're gonna look into
whatever Bryan had, okay?
Whatever he was gonna tell you,
we're gonna look into it, trust me.
But right now, what you're doing
is not gonna help you;
it's not gonna help Pauline.
Give me your lighter, pal.
Yeah, there we go.
- Voilà.
- Voilà, voilà.
Bravo!
We looked into Antoine's alibi.
Pauline said the night of the murder,
he went to get pizza, alone.
Did anyone at the pizza place see him?
No, it was a busy night,
but I found this.
There's an ATM,
and Antoine took out 20 Euros.
8:07
Bryan's time of death is clocked
between 8:00 and 9:00 PM.
And his order took over half an hour,
so right in that time window.
Yeah, I know that place.
They are so slow.
So, Antoine's off the table.
What about the knife?
It's an exact replica
of the Abstract Killer's murder weapon
uncovered 15 years ago.
But it's new, and it's a unique brand.
Can you track the sale?
Yeah, I'll check with the manufacturer
to see if any were
shipped to Saint-Pierre
in the last five months.
I have got good news.
Ish.
Bryan Montgomery was staged to look like
an Abstract Killer victim.
"To look like"? What do you mean?
Cause of death was
blunt force trauma to the head.
He had multiple wounds on his face
and a massive contusion
on the back of his skull.
So, none of this seemed particularly odd
at first glance, as the rest of
the body was mutilated.
And what about the other hallmarks
associated with the Abstract Killer?
The organ removal?
Done post-mortem, and, as I predicted,
not as skillfully
as the previous victims.
McConnell used a knife
to kill his victims.
- Straight to the abdomen.
- Correct.
So this was a copycat killer.
Looks like it.
Yeah, but who is the copycat?
If Antoine and Pauline
are telling the truth
if Bryan did have evidence
clearing Antoine
of suspicion of the Abstract killings
There are two people
who might not appreciate that.
What about the bruising
on Montgomery's back?
What did you make of it?
They happened the same time as death.
But as to what caused it,
I'm still not sure.
I think I know.
Claude?
What's going on?
Secure and search this area.
Claude Jackman
You're coming with us.
You were a lit major.
You were one, right?
It's just odd.
Most French literature majors
would choose,
I dunno, Molière, or even Marivaux.
Yet the scholarship you gave up,
you specialized in a certain 16th-century
English playwright.
Your house had
a very impressive collection
of Shakespeare.
And I love this play. Macbeth.
Macbeth was a warrior,
like a killer, really.
But when he had to murder someone,
a friend, someone he knew,
in cold blood, he was
so overwhelmed with remorse
that he went mad.
You're the Shakespeare expert.
Is that what this message was all about?
The killer's remorse?
Okay.
Let's talk about Chantel.
Leave Chantel out of this.
We know Chantel bought this knife.
Chantel bought this knife
because that's the knife
the Abstract killer used.
She was just trying
to put together the pieces
of the cases again,
pieces that you all missed.
Right, okay, but we also know
this was the knife
that was used to mutilate
Bryan Montgomery's body, but
it's not what killed him.
We haven't found the first murder weapon,
the one used to hit Bryan
in the back of the head.
But we know he fell on this bed of rocks.
That's at your house.
Your and Chantel's house.
Now which one of you killed Bryan?
Was it you, or was it Chantel?
Chantel never killed anybody.
All she ever wanted
was justice for Hélène,
for what happened to her sister.
She wanted to bring
the real killer to justice.
You've always maintained
that you believe Antoine
is the true Abstract Killer.
Because he is!
Did Bryan Montgomery agree?
Bryan, he had evidence
that cleared Antoine.
Were you aware of that?
I'm gonna take that as a yes.
Is that what caused
the rift between you two?
Bryan believed Antoine was innocent.
Do you guys know that the last
time I saw Hélène, we had a fight?
We were just kids. We were at a bar.
She was just dancing with
this guy and I got jealous.
She wanted to have a little fun
and I ruined it.
And then she left, and that's
the last time I saw her,
because of Antoine.
So Bryan's new evidence,
it took away
any chance you had at justice.
It made you angry.
The night of his death,
Bryan came to your house.
Is that when he told you?
I don't remember.
Bryan wanted to give up.
He just wanted to move on with his life.
He
I don't care what evidence
he thought he had.
He was just trying to
stop chasing ghosts.
I have this rage inside me.
I've had it all these years.
Claude?
What did you do?
What did you do?
There's a shed near my house.
I took his body there.
I thought that maybe
my only way out of this
was to stage his body
like one of
the Abstract Killer's murders.
Maybe that would get your attention.
Maybe that would get you
to focus on Antoine.
He is the real killer.
Claude
You may not be a serial killer,
but you're definitely a murderer.
I can't forgive myself
for what I did to Bryan.
I will never un-see that.
But you mark my words,
the real Abstract Killer is still alive,
and he will kill again.
You just wait and see.
Before you go, we still
have some business to attend to.
You might as well come with me.
I'm sure you've had time
to coordinate your stories.
Gallagher, no!
Arch!
Zola Augustin
was trying to kill Gallagher?
She blamed him for the
death of her son and her husband.
Fitz, you shot Gallagher?
I saw him turn his gun toward Arch.
I was in Zola's direct line of fire.
And under oath you swore
Zola Augustin bled out
before paramedics could intervene.
It's quite a story.
It's not a story.
It's exactly what happened.
And is this what Sean Gallagher will say?
You could ask him
if he pulls through.
We good?
I didn't know you could cook, Fitz!
Well, let's see what you
have to say after you eat.
What do you think
of what Claude had to say?
What, that the Abstract
Killer's still out there?
So weird that we even had
a serial killer in Saint-Pierre.
It feels off.
I know what you mean.
Know what else feels off?
I finally broke into Bryan's laptop.
And?
There's nothing special on it, at all.
No hidden files.
Like, why bother encrypt it?
Hey, maybe Claude was right.
Bryan was just tired of chasing ghosts.
Hi.
Hey.
Hey!
Glad you made it.
Hope you guys like the good stuff.
- Mmm.
- Hey.
Do you dare to look him
right in the eyes? ♪
Yeah ♪
Oh, 'cause they will run you down ♪
Down till the dark ♪
Yes, and they will run you down ♪
Down till you fall ♪
And they will run you down ♪
Down to your core ♪
Yeah, so you can't crawl no more ♪
And way down we go, go, go, go, go ♪
Way down we go ♪
