Saint-Pierre (2025) s02e08 Episode Script

1
He was hitting on you while we were
looking at photos of gutted humans.
Hope you guys like the good stuff.
Hey.
♪
FITZ: Wow.
What?
It is not like you to be late for
anything, ever.
I know, sorry. My alarm didn’t go off.
- For you.
- Thank you.
[door opens]
You forgot your coffee.
Well, personally, I think
one can never have, uh
too much coffee.
I’m not sure if that’s
medically accurate,
but, hey, you are the doctor.
We have to go.
Thanks.
♪
♪
So?
What?
Something you want to say?
What would I have to say?
Well, clearly, you want to say something.
How’s the coffee?
Fine.
They’re both they’re both fine.
Good.
[distant church bell ringing]
FITZ: What do you got?
RENUF: A woman stumbled upon him
while she was walking her dogs.
Uh, we just got here,
locked down the scene.
Has anyone examined the body yet?
RENUF: Not yet.
[dramatic music]
No
ARCH: What is it?
His name is Lucas Gauthier.
I know I knew him,
in, uh, high school.
♪
[theme music]
♪
ARCH: Tell us about Lucas.
RENUF: Uh, I hadn’t seen him
since graduation,
and, uh, to be honest
I didn’t like him very much.
Oh, should we be looking at you
as a suspect?
RENUF: He was just one of those guys,
always mean to everyone, a bully.
He moved away after graduation
He must be back in town
for the reunion, 30 years.
It’s this weekend.
No phone or wallet.
Officers are fanned out
in all directions.
Renuf, you’ve got
the sharpest eyes around.
- I could really use your help.
- Hm.
FITZ: Well
It smells like Renuf’s pal had more than
- a few drinks last night.
- Yeah
Black eye, scratched knuckles,
maybe, uh, a robbery turned violent.
Expensive clothes, here from away
He would have been a perfect target.
What do you think caused these?
ARCH: Whatever it was,
it was sharp, thin
The wound is a mess,
like multiple stab attempts.
Lucas’s ID
and, uh, this.
Well, he used his credit card last night.
Well, I guess now we know
where this guy was drinking.
Yeah, he was here with a big group.
Insisted on paying the bill,
made a big show of it.
Ordering all our most expensive
booze, cognac and champagne.
- Mm-hm. Big spender.
- VEDA: Yeah.
Did he rub anyone the wrong way?
Um, they didn’t stick around
for very long, thank God.
He was getting on my nerves.
FITZ: Was there anyone with him
that you recognized?
The pharmacist from down the street
- What is her name?
- Marcella Morin.
- Yes.
- Yeah, she was in our class as well.
Very popular and nice,
always had great hair.
Well, when she left,
she was pretty pissed off.
I don’t know why,
but she stormed out of here.
Yeah, I I know her pharmacy.
Uh, she took it over
from her parents years back.
Let’s go see what made her so upset.
Let me know. Bye.
MARCELLA: Lucas just flew in
for the reunion.
I I can’t believe that he’s
Oh
Marcella, uh, we know
you were out with Lucas
and some of the old gang last night.
Uh, yeah, we thought
it might be nice to catch up
before the official party
at the school tonight.
I imagine the whole thing
is cancelled now.
I took some pictures.
Ah, here, uh, let me
Okay, so, that’s Lucas and you?
Obviously with the great hair, as always.
And that’s, uh
Etienne Picard and Avril Roy.
And is that Jack Dupuis?
- No
- Mm-hm.
We hadn’t seen each other in years.
We’ve all changed, Renuf.
A witness claims that you left early.
That you were upset about something?
Oh. No, that was nothing.
I have to open the pharmacy early,
so the late nights don’t
really work for me anymore.
They were just giving me
a hard time for, um, leaving.
RENUF: They? What, was it Lucas
giving you a hard time?
It was just Lucas being Lucas.
He rubbed people the wrong way,
myself included.
But he wasn’t without his charm.
Not sure I agree,
but you were closer to him.
Do you know where Lucas was staying?
He doesn’t seem to be
registered at any hotel.
Oh, yeah. At Etienne’s parents’ place.
Etienne and Lucas
were tight in high school.
I’m putting my number in
so that you can forward us
this, uh, picture, okay?
Of course.
And we’ll do everything we can
to find out what happened.
Okay.
RENUF: Etienne’s house was the place
for the cool parties in high school.
Oh, were you one of the cool kids, Renuf?
Uh, let’s just say this is the first time
I’ll be seeing the inside of this house.
Well, for what it’s worth,
I hated high school too.
[knocks]
FITZ: Oh, we got a car here.
RENUF: Etienne could be in trouble.
FITZ: Check the door.
RENUF: Hello?
Police.
Etienne?
Looks like a high school party.
ETIENNE: Hello?
Renuf?
What the hell are you doing here?
RENUF: I’m sorry, I
I know you were close.
Yeah, I mean, we haven’t had
a lot of contact over the years,
but yeah.
ARCH: Lucas was staying here with you?
We need to go through his things.
Yeah, his room is right down the hall.
So, this is your parents’ place.
My parents live away
for most of the year.
And I moved back home ’cause
I needed a little restart.
What happened to your arm?
Oh, this? Uh
I don’t know.
Guess I drank too much.
And the whole night’s
a bit of bit of a blur.
Lucas’s bags aren’t even unpacked.
Have you seen his phone?
No. Guys, I’m just
trying to take this all in.
FITZ: Walk us through
what happened yesterday
and last night, step by step.
Sure. I I
picked Lucas up at the airport,
we came back here, dropped off his stuff,
and then had a few drinks.
Then we met with the others and, uh,
Lucas wanted to keep the party going,
so we came back here
and I guess I passed out.
Lucas had a way
of getting under people’s skin.
Did he have any tension
with anyone last night?
Yeah, Lucas and Avril really went at it.
It was like we slipped back in time.
I I didn’t hear what they
were on about, but
yeah. You know.
Uh, Lucas and Avril dated in high school
and were notorious for their epic fights.
Our yearbook. I lost mine years ago.
You okay if we borrow this for a while?
Yeah.
MARCUS: I understand you went
to school with the victim?
RENUF: A lifetime ago.
I looked into it.
Lucas moved to New York
after our graduation,
was a financial adviser there.
Single, no kids.
The body was found
in front of the statue.
Here.
FITZ: And we don’t know
if the body was dumped
or if the guy made his way there himself.
- Any idea on the murder weapon?
- Not yet.
I mean, he was stabbed.
The wound was deep.
He had scratches on his
knuckles, bruises on his face.
Lucas’s phone is MIA, there’s no signal,
but I’ve got an alert set
if that changes.
RENUF: From what I can tell, Lucas
hasn’t been back since we graduated.
His parents aren’t in town;
they spend most of the year down south.
He has no other family here.
So, the vic hasn’t got many
connections left in Saint-Pierre?
RENUF: Except the people
he was with last night.
Uh, Marcella Morin, local pharmacist.
Etienne Picard, recently moved back here.
We haven’t talked to Avril Roy
and, uh, Jack Dupuis.
They’re both staying at the Nuits Hôtel.
- You mean together?
- No, separate rooms.
Coroner’s initial report
should be ready by now.
Go check on Avril and Jack,
and we’ll meet you at the hotel.
- Sir
- Yes?
Renuf knew the victim
and was friends
with some of the suspects.
You sure he should be on this case?
ARCH: We know most of what we know
because of Renuf.
He’s an asset to the investigation.
I agree.
Saint-Pierre’s a small island.
If we start recusing ourselves
every time we know somebody,
we wouldn’t get anything done.
Understood?
All right.
At least Renuf seems to be
telling the whole truth.
♪
NATASHA: Stabbed with
a long piece of glass.
Wouldn’t have been my first choice,
but sharp, pointy, did the trick.
Weapon of opportunity.
NATASHA: Shattered inside the torso.
It’ll take me a while to figure out
exactly what type of glass it is.
- Prints?
- Seriously?
Okay, um, if he was stabbed
with a broken glass,
the killer may have cut
their own hand in the act.
I will check that, yes.
Also, there are superficial punctures
around the fatal wound.
The killer was hesitant.
Like it was personal, or
Or whoever killed him didn’t want to.
- Self-defence, maybe?
- ARCH: Mm-hm.
NATASHA: His face was nice and messed up,
so if it was a fight, it would make sense
that the killer was acting spontaneously.
Time of death?
That’s the tricky part.
The glass missed the major arteries.
Meaning he bled out slowly.
Could have taken as long as an hour.
I’m guessing around 2:00 AM.
- So, the end of a late night.
- Right.
Fist fight gets messy,
our guy here, he gets stabbed
so he takes off.
He runs away and he drops
right where we found him.
NATASHA: Not a comfortable hike,
but possible.
Right, so if he were drunk,
might have numbed some of the pain.
Give us a call when you get
the blood panel, please.
NATASHA: Mm-hm.
RENUF: No sign of Avril or Jack,
but their, uh, their luggage
is still there.
What about the rooms?
Did the beds look like
they’d been slept in?
No, it still had
that hotel-made bed look.
Plus, the front desk, I checked,
and, uh, neither came home last night.
Jack!
Renuf?
Wow.
Uh, Jack Dupuis,
uh, these are my colleagues,
Deputy Chief Archambault
and Inspector Fitzpatrick.
Ah, I hope I’m not in any trouble.
Just getting back from last night?
No. I I was just out for a walk.
I haven’t been back home
in a while and I wanted to,
you know, take it all in.
What happened to your face?
Oh, um I just cut myself shaving.
Sorry, what is this all about?
RENUF: Uh, Jack, um
Lucas is dead.
I’m sorry, what do you mean, he’s dead?
You were with him last night, right?
A few of us were.
I mean, we were all having drinks, and
I woke up here pretty hungover.
ARCH: And Avril
you’re both staying here at this hotel.
Did you return together?
No, I I came back alone.
I haven’t seen Avril since last night.
Um, Jack, uh,
I’ll I’ll meet you inside.
I’ll need a formal statement.
Okay.
♪
Last night’s clothes
He was wearing the exact
same outfit in that photo
with all of them at the bar.
You think he’s hiding something?
Either that, or he wears
the same clothes every day.
Hm.
Renuf, keep an eye on Jack.
Make sure he doesn’t plan
on leaving town early.
♪
You don’t like Theo.
It’s okay, you can say it.
Arch, whatever you do
is none of my business.
But it’s so weird.
You’re my friend.
I expect you to be honest.
Okay, but what do I actually
know about Mr. Doctor Theo?
I don’t know.
You’re the one who never
shuts up about how good you are
- at reading people.
- Yeah, well, I
tried that on this subject
before and I learned my lesson.
I’m just gonna keep my mouth shut.
Nothing happened last night, FYI.
Arch, you don’t owe me an explanation.
We talked until late,
and next thing we knew,
the sun was coming up.
Well, that’s nice.
Did he mesmerize you with
his expertise on serial killers?
No.
We didn’t talk about dead people.
I have to say, it was a nice change.
Oh, well, I guess that’s my job.
Speaking of, Jack, Etienne,
they both had battle scars.
Maybe from a fight last night.
One that got Lucas killed?
Maybe?
We should talk to Avril.
She’s the only suspect
we haven’t spoken to yet.
- [phone ringing]
- Your phone is ringing. Can I answer it?
What if it’s Theo? Oh, it’s Natasha.
Hello?
I’ve got an update on your murder weapon.
It is borosilicate glass, known
for its thermal resistance.
It also has measurement markings on it,
which makes me think that
Lab equipment?
Yes, Arch. Lab equipment.
Like from a chemistry lab?
Chemistry lab, not a hospital
A high school.
Thank you.
All the doors to the school
would have been locked up last night.
How’d they get in?
ARCH: Obviously they forced
their way inside.

♪
What has happened here?
Bunch of them must have what?
Broke into the school,
kept the party going?
They were drinking outta this trophy.
Like it was a goblet. Gross.
ARCH: Um
Chemistry lab.
[suspenseful music]
♪
I think we’re looking at
a crime scene here.
[woman groaning]
[clattering sound]
Hello?
- [woman groaning]
- Hello!
[knocking and banging on door]
- It’s locked.
- WOMAN: Help!
Look out!
♪
Avril?
RENUF: Avril is stable,
but the doctors say
they will need to run some tests
before we can talk to her.
What the hell happened here
last night with these guys?
They’re all lying about something.
I can feel it.
It’s an invitation.
- Is that a CD case?
- Or a DVD.
Let’s see if we can
figure out what’s on it.
Arch, broken beaker?
ARCH: Looks a lot like
what Natasha pulled out of our victim.
FITZ: Lucas was stabbed here,
and instead of going
to the hospital, he ends up
out by that statue. How?
It was a go-to drinking spot,
so maybe he was so drunk
he homed in on it.
There’s blood on the hook.
That’s where Avril’s
head wound came from.
So Lucas, or Lucas’ killer
they smash Avril’s head
against the hook here
and then they lock her
in the closet. Why?
ARCH: Party moved here.
There are three cans of beer.
Avril, Lucas
Who is the third?
Jack? Etienne?
Let’s just hope Avril’s
recovered enough to talk to us.
Maybe she can fill in some of the gaps.
RENUF: I’m starting to get
the feeling that all of them
were involved in Lucas’s death.
♪
RENUF: I didn’t think you’d remember me.
You know, I mean,
it’s been 30 years, you know?
And also with the
your bang on your head.
AVRIL: How could I ever forget you?
Renuf used to bring
my mother and I baked goods
when she was sick.
Uh, it was nothing, just a few canelés.
She was a nice lady.
ARCH: Avril, we’re trying
to piece together
what happened last night.
We drank a lot.
My memory is
[sighs] It was
it was late.
Um Lucas, I think, had the crazy idea
to break into the school for a laugh.
RENUF: Uh, we were told
that you and Lucas
got into some kind of argument?
FITZ: Avril, Lucas is dead.
We’re just trying to find out
what happened to him.
Well, Lucas and I, um
we hadn’t seen each other in years.
But just like always, umm
after a few drinks, we were right back
to where we started.
First the flirting,
then the fighting, and then
We, uh, used to sneak into
the chem lab to hook up,
so that’s how we ended up there.
And you ended up
locked up in a closet. How?
Someone came in shouting for Lucas and
I just ducked into the closet.
I was embarrassed
for falling into old patterns.
FITZ: Who was it? Who came into the lab?
[exhales] There was a fight.
Uh, I I kind of
opened the closet door to look,
and that’s when it it slammed shut,
and I was knocked back, and
It was
it’s all a bit fuzzy after that.
Try and think, Avril.
Who would have come after Lucas?
Well, um
Lucas was back to his old ways with Jack.
He was hounding him all night.
He can be such a jerk that way.
Lucas used to bully Jack
pretty hard back in the day.
I had completely forgotten about that.
It got so bad, Jack stabbed
Lucas with a fork in senior year.
RENUF: Oh my God, yes. You’re right.
We could only use
plastic forks after that.
You don’t think
It was Jack who came in. Jack.
Jack attacked Lucas in the chem lab.
[ominous music]
Jack was a scrawny
little guy in high school.
Sort of a nerd, you might say.
Well, he ain’t scrawny now.
What do you think?
Maybe Renuf should have a go at him, hey?
Yeah.
You might have a way to bring him around.
Past history can be very useful
in an interrogation.
MARCUS: Yeah.
See what you can get out of him.
Don’t screw it up.
RENUF: We found these images online.
What’s this, Renuf?
You’re a trained fighter.
And that cut on your face
wasn’t from shaving, so
you want to start telling me the truth?
I’m not sure
where you’re going with this.
Truth about what?
It it’s funny what
30 years will do.
What we remember and what we forget.
For example, I had completely
forgotten how much Lucas
bullied you back then.
But I remember now.
He tortured you endlessly.
Until one day, you had enough.
Oh, the fork?
That was a flesh wound. Lucas was fine.
Yeah, but Jack, I was there.
You were furious.
You completely lost control.
So, you think I I killed Lucas
because he used to bully me
in high school?
RENUF: I think that
you got into a fist fight
with Lucas last night.
I think Lucas was a jerk.
And I think that bad things happen
when people drink too much.
You yourself told me you blacked out.
Yeah, but Renuf, I think I’d
remember if I killed someone.
This is murder.
So you better start
taking this seriously.
Yes.
Okay.
Me and Lucas got into it last night.
I smacked him around a little bit.
I’ve been wanting to do that for years.
But I’m not a killer.
I swear, when I left that school,
Lucas was fine.
He was alive.
RENUF: Yeah, but you lied to us
You were not out for a walk
when we met with you
at the hotel this morning.
You were wearing the same
clothes from the night before.
And you just confessed
to assaulting the victim
the night he was killed.
Oh Marcella.
Uh, she was the one
that pulled me off of Lucas.
I I was with Marcella last night.
♪
MARCELLA: I was only there for a bit.
They texted that they were
gonna go to the school,
and I already felt bad for leaving early
and I didn’t want Lucas taunting me.
Imagine, feeling peer pressure
after all these years.
I arrived
They were wasted.
Etienne and Avril had
broken into the trophy case
Lucas was being a prick
and Jack was furious.
But I swear, Jack did not kill Lucas.
How do you know that?
Jack came back to my place
and, um, I treated his wound
and he spent the night.
So, that’s why you lied?
Because Jack is married?
We reconnected online a few months ago.
It was naive, it was stupid.
But he was with me until I went to work,
and I would testify to that if I had to.
FITZ: Marcella was dishonest
with us before.
She’s likely being dishonest
with us again.
If she’s covering for Jack, maybe.
But either way,
do you get the feeling like
there’s something else
she’s holding back on?
I think the whole pack of them
have been lying to us from the start.
Whatever they’re lying to us about
is likely the key to this whole thing.
RENUF: Hey, we found you.
That invite with the CD
you found at the crime scene
Here’s the playlist.
Like, uh like a mixtape.
There was a real art to that.
I know these songs,
but I feel like
I’ve seen this list before.
[tablet chimes]
I’ve been tracking Lucas’s email.
He just got a login authorization code.
Someone’s trying to access
his business account.
His phone’s back online.
Can you track it?
PATTY: It’s coming from Etienne’s house.
Keep following that phone.
Lucas’s phone.
[gunshot outside]
[ominous music]
[gunshot]
Put your weapon down.
- Whoa
- Slowly.
- What are you doing here?
- Put the gun down, then we’ll talk.
♪
FITZ: Why were you trying
to access Lucas’s phone?
Okay, let’s talk about you.
We know you lost your job.
You were an offshore rig worker, right?
Mm-hm.
FITZ: Well, you missed a bunch
of payments on your house.
Oh, you lost your house.
Is that why you moved in
with your parents?
You’re broke?
I think you know
what’s on this financial record.
You gave Lucas a significant
amount of money to invest,
but the stocks tanked.
Lucas said it was a sure bet.
He showed me his portfolio,
and he made bank,
so I trusted his instinct.
Hmm. And he was very wrong.
I lost everything!
FITZ: Right, I mean, then he shows up
starts throwing all of his money around,
buying drinks like the big man.
You think I killed him?
Well, you certainly had a motive.
No, I I just wanted my money back.
When Lucas snuck off
to the chem lab with Avril
I took his phone.
Did he notice? Confront you?
Things got out of control?
No. I came home,
I tried to hack his password,
but I was too drunk,
so it eventually locked me out.
And I tried again today.
Did you kill Lucas Gauthier?
No!
Look, losing that money hurt, but
I wouldn’t!
Especially after everything
we’ve been through.
What exactly have you been through?
No, I I I meant
I would never hurt him.
[dark, mysterious music]
Etienne’s motive is by far the strongest.
Losing all his savings?
Earlier, when you asked him about
his arm injury, he was super cagey.
Maybe he and Lucas got
in some kind of a racket.
Did you hear what he said back there?
"After everything
that we’ve been through"?
These little shits. What are they hiding?
Whatever it is, we are
standing right on top of it.
Right, but we can’t see what it is.
Let’s go back to the scene.
Maybe we missed something.
♪
ARCH: Earlier, you told Renuf
you hated high school?
- Is that true?
- 100%. I truly hated it.
Oh, that surprises me.
I don’t know, I assumed
you were a popular guy.
Ah, that’s a hard no.
We didn’t have a lot of money,
growing up.
That wore pretty thin.
You get tired of getting
in a fight every other day.
Funny.
I grew up with money,
but not like the girls
I went to school with.
Never let me forget
I wasn’t really one of them.
Even though you were
captain of the equestrian team?
Says the hockey team captain?
I can do research too
Fitzi.
[gasps]
That’s Renuf. He’s a little baby.
- Aw.
- He was member of the AV club.
And these guys. Lucas
Avril
The whole gang is there.
Who’s this woman?
ARCH: Miss Collier.
The teacher that ran the club.
If she still works here, maybe
she can give us some insight.
Um
I don’t think that’s gonna be possible.
Miss Collier died
exactly 30 years ago today.
ARCH: She looks young enough
to be a student.
She was barely 25.
Kid teaching kids.
Uh, I had given up on school,
and I was always
working at my family’s bakery.
I I wasn’t interested.
And Miss Collier, she pushed me.
And she’s the reason I graduated.
She ran the yearbook club?
Oh, the "yearbook club"
was Miss Collier’s
pet name for detention.
She didn’t like the negative label,
so she gave it a little spin.
Lucas and every suspect that we have
was a member of that yearbook club.
That cannot be a coincidence.
ARCH: We’ve been looking into
what this group is up to.
Aside from them having been friends.
FITZ: Every single one of them
Lucas, Avril, Etienne, Jack, Marcella
were all connected to this teacher
who died 30 years ago today.
So, you’re saying they killed her?
I pulled the old report
It was a car crash.
Oh. So, not murder.
Police interviewed all the students.
No witnesses saw Miss Collier
stay late or leave that evening.
Mm-hm.
I didn’t do many
extracurricular activities
in high school,
but I was a part of the AV club.
Oh, we saw.
Well, we edited the grad video.
We had each department do their
own little message for the students.
My sister still had all the raw
tapes in a box in her basement.
So, I I don’t know
if this will be of any use,
but here.
[video starts playing]
[students laughing in video]
FITZ: She referenced Lucas.
Every single one of them
they were there when she filmed this.
The time stamp.
She recorded this the afternoon she died.
But in the police reports
the kids said they didn’t
see her at all that day.
Well, everyone thought
it was an accident.
The people speculated that maybe
Miss Collier was depressed
and took her own life.
Well, tox report did show high levels
of an antidepressant in her system.
We have Lucas’s tox report now, right?
And look
he took an equally high dosage
of that same antidepressant.
What are the odds?
MARCUS: And who do we know who
has access to that kind of drug?
Marcella.
ARCH: Why don’t we just
cut the nonsense now, hmm?
Enough.
You’ve been lying to us from the start.
We’re tired of it.
ARCH: We know you were all with
Miss Collier the day she died.
We also know you lied to
the police about it back then.
This is your chance to tell us
what really happened.
FITZ: Marcella
Okay, Marcella, all of you
you drugged Miss Collier
all those years ago.
You were kids.
What reason could you possibly have had?
We didn’t know it would hit her so hard.
We just wanted her drowsy.
♪
You stole the pills
from your mother’s pharmacy?
Lucas asked me to get them.
We were just
tired of being in detention,
so we wanted to go home early.
- We were just kids.
- Yeah.
MARCELLA: You know?
You drugged a woman ’cause
you wanted to get out early.
Then she got behind the wheel of a car
and then this happened.
Why didn’t you tell the police?
Because we were scared!
So we made a pact that
we would keep it all a secret.
Our coroner found
traces of an antidepressant
in Lucas’s system.
Very similar to what you dosed
Miss Collier with.
I had nothing to do with that. I swear.
Who invited you all to the bar?
MARCELLA: The mix tape
First I thought it was
an official part of the reunion.
But then, when I played the CD
Miss Collier played every single
one of those songs in detention.
And the only people
who got the invitation, the CD,
- were you five?
- Yeah.
It had to be someone in the group.
We were the only ones

assumed it was Lucas.
I told you he could be a dick,

Is that what caused the fighting?

Are you okay?
I assume you heard all that?
Can we charge Marcella and the others
for what they did to Miss Collier?
Not yet.
I know it’s not what you want to hear.
But they were minors.
That’s no excuse.
MARCUS: It’s not. And trust me
they will pay.
One way or another.
But right now we need to figure out
who killed Lucas last night.
One step at a time.
What else did she give you?
Marcella told us she didn’t
drink from the trophy
we retrieved from the school,
but she thinks the rest of them did.
Gonna have it tested to see
if that’s how Lucas was drugged.
One of them said they
barely remembered last night.
Were they all drugged?
Everyone but the killer?
MARCUS: We’ll need blood work
on all of them, ASAP.
Yeah, we’ll start with Avril.
She’s already at the hospital.
They would have done her blood work
as standard procedure.
♪
Was was she alone?
I don’t know, but she seemed
eager to get out of here.
While we’re here, we need a full run-down
of her blood results, please.
Okay.
If Avril was hurt so badly,
why would she be
- in such a rush to get out of here?
- [phone ringing]
ARCH: [phone] Yes?
We heard a buzzing coming
from one of the evidence bags.
It’s Lucas’s phone.
The yearbook club group chat got a text.
And the message says,
"High school, 15 minutes.
The truth will set us free."
- From who?
- PATTY: An unknown number.
I can track it, but the message
just came in a few minutes ago.
It could be the killer
trying to get everyone together
to finish what they started.
Renuf, meet us at the high school.
Maybe we beat them all here.
Unfortunately, I don’t think so.

Everyone!

Who wants to tell us why you’re all here?
Don’t look for answers from them!
They’re cowards, the lot of them!
FITZ: Avril, I’m assuming
you’re the one who texted them
to meet here tonight?
ARCH: We know what you all did
to Miss Collier 30 years ago.
JACK: We don’t know
what you’re talking about.
No, we didn’t do anything.
I told them it was Lucas.
Look, we didn’t know
what he was gonna do.
It was Lucas’s plan.
That’s a lie! We all knew!
God, we even helped him!
Avril!
No, I am tired of staying quiet.
We have been quiet for too long.
Avril, just just take it easy.
You, back! Back!
ARCH: Careful of the edge!
RENUF: Come on now, Avril.
Let’s not do anything we can’t take back.
I have been living with
something I can’t take back
for so long, Renuf.
RENUF: Okay, what you all
did to Miss Collier
was horrible and wrong.
This will not undo it.
We know there was antidepressants
in Lucas’s system,
and I’m betting there’s
some in theirs too, right?
ARCH: So, what was your plan?
Bring everyone back together to do what?
Revenge?
I wanted their guards down
so that they’d confess,
admit to everybody what we did.
So that everyone
could finally know the truth!
RENUF: Let’s talk it through,
get it all out in the open.
Okay, just just start with
what happened to Lucas last night.
I thought..
that if I used my antidepressants,
mixed them with alcohol,
I could convince Lucas to confess.
That’s why we were in the chem lab.
But Jack followed us.
He thought the invitation
was just another one
of Lucas’s stupid pranks.
You set this whole thing up, didn’t you?
AVRIL: So they fought.
All they cared about was how this
would ruin their lives if it came out!
They had no remorse at all
for what we’d done!
[muffled Radiohead song

ARCH: That’s why you recorded them?
I thought we could all
finally come clean.
But it was clear I wasn’t
gonna get them to confess.
Lucas figured you out
before you could leave?
AVRIL: I I told him
that everyone was gonna know what we did.

- [glass shatters]
I was gonna tell the whole story.
And Lucas, he he turned on me,
he attacked me, and so I just
I grabbed the closest thing I could find
to defend myself!
AVRIL: He was so mad.
He threw me back in the closet and
- that’s all I remember.

The doctor says we should be hopeful.
What’s the prognosis?
Good news is no spinal injury.
Some broken bones, but their main concern
is, um, internal injuries.
He’s in surgery.
When they went over the edge, uh, Renuf,
he managed to break Avril’s fall.
She’s gonna make it.
With Avril’s testimony, the case
for Miss Collier can be reopened.
Renuf will be happy
to hear that when he wakes up.
MARCUS: Indeed.
Listen, you two have had a hell of a day.
Patty and I will take first watch,
