Saint-Pierre (2025) s02e11 Episode Script
Cerulean Blue
1
ARCH: Daniel McConnell,
the supposed Abstract Killer.
Am I sensing that you didn’t
think McConnell was guilty?
McConnell’s profile matched
none of the known perpetrators.
- Is that what you think?
- PATTY: Is that
Bryan Montgomery’s laptop?
Diard claims she got a confession,
but nobody heard it but her.
[indistinct chatter and music playing]
I thought you said that, uh
Fitz was gonna be cooking?
Yeah, I guess I misunderstood
Arch when she said "we."
So, you like me being
your little helper, hm?
Well, a great sous-chef makes the chef.
Come on, how hard is it
to slice basil, seriously?
Well, maybe I just wanted to get in
a little under-the-radar PDA.
Well, I’m not sure how subtle
you’re being right now.
So, that’s why I like to
taxidermy the unclaimed corpses.
RENUF: [chuckles]
You okay, Fitz?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I’m just in my own little world.
Arch seems happy.
Yeah, they seem like a cozy couple.
RENUF: I, uh,
brought these for you all.
PATTY: Our guy right here
is quite the baker.
ARCH: I love a dessert
before dinner.
Hey, now, you don’t want
to ruin your appetite.
FITZ: Are we allowed
to drink wine before dinner
or is that off-limits, too?
ARCH: No one’s had a drink yet?
I am so sorry
I’m being such a terrible host!
- Please, help yourself.
- [knock on door]
MARCUS: Mm, that looks like
a good one.
FITZ: Thank you.
- PATTY: I think I want the pastries.
- MARCUS: Anyone thirsty? There we go.
[door closes]
I’m sorry to
cut the night short, but
Fitz, we have to go.
[sirens wailing]
FITZ: Do we know
what we’re walking into here?
ARCH: Not yet.
Dispatch said "homicide,"
and to brace ourselves.
[mysterious music]
♪
[music intensifies]
♪
FITZ: Arch?
♪
"Inspector Fitzpatrick
and Deputy Chief Archambault."
"I’m no copycat.
I’m the Abstract Killer.
"And I’m back."
[dramatic music]
[theme music]
♪
ARCH: Are we really dealing
with the Abstract Killer here?
What are you thinking?
- I’m thinking we need some sleep.
- Yeah.
NATASHA: Quite the love letter
to you two.
Yeah. Aside from his declaration
that he’s the Abstract Killer,
is everything else aligning?
Oh, yeah. Organs removed, body paint,
no blood on the floor;
the whole nine yards.
Incision is clean, precise.
No mishaps.
The killer was surgical.
Likely used a filleting knife
like before.
Okay, we’re gonna have
to collect some samples,
all those paints, get ’em tested.
Samples are already in for analysis.
I am not going to be fooled
by another potential copycat.
No detail will be missed this time.
[Fitz sighs]
Lennox Giroux.
He works maintenance
at the pumping station.
It was him who found the body.
We’re getting his statement,
but he’s pretty shaken up
by the whole thing.
RENUF: I know how he feels.
MARCUS: Round up all the other
witnesses and get ’em processed ASAP.
We’re gonna run this case
in two distinct streams.
Our victim? Exhaust every lead,
like every other murder.
And the second approach?
Start at square one.
The original Abstract killings.
We have those files
stored in the basement.
I’ll get them all brought upstairs.
Great idea.
Anything relevant,
make sure it gets over
to Natasha as well.
ARCH: Witnesses,
victim family members,
anyone and everyone still alive
is to be tracked down
and re-interviewed.
What?
Well, do we think Diard
will try and stop us
from digging into the
Abstract Killer murders again?
If she tries, tell her
I’ll go straight to Paris HQ
and report her
for obstruction of justice.
Got it.
I must say, I like
when you show those teeth.
Just be happy
my bite is not aimed at you.
MARCUS: Killer
singled you both out.
- That’s a twist.
- Not what I saw coming.
Do me a favour. Be careful.
We’ll be fine. Relax, boss.
You got it.
Are you as freaked out as I am?
- Who wouldn’t be freaked out?
- Right?
A serial killer left us a personal
message at his crime scene.
Good, okay,
’cause I am super freaked out,
and I can’t believe I’m gonna say this,
but I’m actually glad
Meredith is marrying O’Brien.
Unpack that for me?
O’Brien’s the Premier.
He has a full-time security detail.
Meredith, the kids,
they’re gonna be safe.
Oh, look at you finding the positives.
The real Abstract Killer
never left a message.
Only the copycat did.
We worked that case, we closed it.
Now he’s mad at us?
Because we believed he was
behind the copycat killings?
So, maybe we woke
the real Abstract Killer up.
Wait, are you driving us
to my boyfriend’s house?
We have questions,
Dr. Théo has answers.
Unless
Wait, did Théo stay
at your place last night?
No, we’ve been gone all night.
He’s home.
Good, ’cause I had our initial
findings sent over to his place
so he can be up to speed.
PATTY: No ID
on our victim yet.
You’ve been busy.
Yeah, I made one board for him,
and one for the original victims.
♪
She really doesn’t like us
opening all this up, does she?
Well, if we prove the Abstract Killer
is still out there,
Diard’s reputation is toast.
Right, but wouldn’t catching
the real Abstract Killer trump that?
You’d hope so.
♪
[ominous music]
♪
THÉO: He mentions you
by name, Geneviève.
I was mentioned as well, but
Do you think it’s some kind of warning?
Actually, I would consider it
more of a message.
You think he’s toying with us?
THÉO: Or challenging you.
You believed the Abstract Killer
could have been behind
the murder of Bryan Montgomery.
Given the way he was killed,
it was a rational thought at the time.
This man, whoever he is,
I would not diagnose him as rational.
Maybe we hurt his pride.
THÉO: And yet
we cannot say for sure that this killer
is the genuine article.
We can rule out
all of the original suspects.
FITZ: Daniel McConnell,
he’s been dead for years.
Claude Jackman, Antoine,
they’re both in prison.
What are the chances we could
be looking at another copycat?
Very possible.
Those who imitate infamous murderers
often have pre-existing
violent tendencies.
They crave recognition.
FITZ: Right, but Claude Jackman,
he killed Bryan Montgomery
for a completely different reason.
It’s true.
FITZ: [sighs]
What are the odds? I mean
two copycat killers in Saint-Pierre
just seems improbable.
Yes, but not impossible.
Adapting the persona
of the Abstract Killer
could give our murderer a form
of psychological distancing,
which helps lower normal inhibitions,
allowing him to perpetuate such acts.
Well, you know the case
better than most.
Did you ever determine
a victim pattern?
A reason why he chose
the people he did?
Other than all being
out alone at night?
No, nothing that obvious.
I’ll comb through my old notes
and case files
and I’ll call you
if something new jumps out.
[phone buzzing]
FITZ: Um Patty,
she wants us to meet her at your place.
Okay.
♪
PATTY: I needed to meet you
away from Diard.
MARCUS: Okay, Patty,
you have our attention.
Why are we here?
Diard’s been withholding evidence
about the Abstract murders.
Daniel McConnell wasn’t the killer
and she’s known all along.
How do you know this?
Bryan Montgomery
believed he had evidence
about who the real murderer was,
but when I removed
the encryption software
on his laptop
It had nothing about the case?
But what does this
have to do with Diard?
- I hacked her computer.
- RENUF: Patty!
PATTY: I know,
I know it was a risk,
but Diard’s takedown of
Daniel McConnell wasn’t legit.
And she killed the wrong man.
Look at this.
I told the cop, Diard,
Daniel was with me
the night that
one of the women was killed.
MAN: Daniel McConnell?
TANYA: Yes.
I called her, but she warned me
to stay out of the investigation.
I was with him.
He couldn’t have killed that woman.
PATTY: The male voice
was Bryan Montgomery.
He managed to track her down
in Florida earlier this year.
Was there anything on there
that points to evidence
on who the real killer might be?
No, just Lushka’s interview.
[typing on phone]
[line trilling]
How much do you know?
MARCUS: I know you’ve been
withholding crucial evidence
in a 15-year-old serial killer case
that, as far as I’m concerned,
has never been solved.
We saw the Tanya Lushka tape.
Lushka had a criminal record
as long as my leg.
She was lying to cover McConnell.
Her statement was complete bull.
Even if that was true,
you buried her statement.
Now someone else is dead
likely because of your actions.
They were drunk for days.
Lushka couldn’t lucidly account
for half of her time.
Her story was full of holes!
This is not going away.
McConnell confessed to the killings!
He tried to kill me, Marcus!
And yes, for a heartbeat
I thought that maybe
Tanya Lushka’s statement
could have been
But when McConnell went down,
the killings stopped.
And no one pushed me to dig deeper.
Well, you better
hope to hell that we find
the real Abstract Killer
before he kills again.
’Cause if not
it’s on you, Madam Prefect.
[tense music]
♪
The Abstract Killer cases
are officially reopened.
Meaning, I don’t want to hear
Daniel McConnell’s name again
unless you have video of the man
cutting people up into pieces.
Understood?
At least now we know the truth.
Thanks to you, Patty.
Well done.
PATTY: I’m just glad
that we can now hopefully
get to the bottom of this.
RENUF: Missing persons
reported
Raj Dara didn’t come home
a couple nights ago.
His wife called it in.
ARCH: It’s definitely him.
Everyone, please, listen.
Our victim’s name is Raj Dara.
Now, we start with, who is Raj?
Did he have conflict with anyone?
Did he know the killer?
Did the killer select him, and why?
We find that reason, we find the link
to the original Abstract killings.
Start with motive, opportunity.
ARCH: Our killer brought
the victim somewhere.
Prepped and killed him there,
not where we found him.
That killing floor, wherever it is,
is filled with DNA, blood splatter.
The body would have been moved
and staged here for us to find it.
FITZ: Talk to everyone around
the pumping station, okay?
We want to hear about
abnormalities, inconsistencies.
There was someone there
who doesn’t usually
walk their dog at night.
A loud noise, a gut feeling.
Nothing is too small.
Tear apart every detail from
the old cases 15 years ago.
It’s all fair game.
MARCUS: All information
collected
gets brought back here to this team.
D’accord?
We can do this. Allez!
Renuf, escort the victim’s wife
to ID the body.
We’ll meet you there.
I want to speak to her.
♪
Olivia, can you confirm
that this is your husband?
It’s Raj.
[inhales shakily]
Is it true his body
what he did to his body, his insides?
Who would do this to him?
To anyone?
That’s something we’d like
to have your insight on.
ARCH: Did your husband
have enemies?
Someone who may have it out for him?
[crying]
ARCH: It’s okay, don’t worry.
We can talk again later.
If anything comes to mind,
just just reach out.
Sorry, um, before you go,
can I just ask, did Raj have
a tongue modification?
OLIVIA: What?
His tongue sustained, um, an injury.
I just wanted to rule out
whether it was pre-existing.
No. He had nothing like that.
What are you talking about?
So, I haven’t fully examined him yet,
but look at this.
ARCH: A tiny slit
at the tip of the tongue.
Precise. Clean cut.
I wanted to rule out Raj undergoing
a deliberate bifurcation.
A lizard bifid.
It’s a thing.
But it would take
a week or two to heal.
This looks really fresh.
Just like the cut to his abdomen.
Probably the same blade.
Did any of the other victims
have a lacerated tongue like this?
Well, I’m sure as hell gonna find out.
Uh, she wanted to speak with you again.
We’re so sorry that you
had to see that, Mrs. Dara.
Your coroner’s question about
Raj’s tongue made me think about
a threat Lennox Giroux
made about my husband.
What kind of threat?
He said he would cut Raj’s tongue out.
I’m sorry, when was that?
OLIVIA: A month ago.
They had a business together;
it went south.
Raj was mad at Lennox,
and he wasn’t shy
about who he told about it.
Lennox said,
"Stop talking shit about me
"or I’ll cut your tongue out."
He’s the only person I can think of
that would want to hurt Raj.
Make sure she gets home, okay?
FITZ: Thanks.
ARCH: We tracked down
Lennox Giroux’s address.
It’s just up here.
You think a
serial killer would threaten a
potential victim so openly like that
I don’t know.
But I’m not getting a good
feeling about this place.
FITZ: No.
Potential killing room floor?
[engine revving]
ARCH: It’s him!
It’s Giroux driving that truck!
[suspenseful music]
Giroux has an extensive record.
Drug charges mostly,
but our vic was in the process
of getting
a restraining order against him.
You can add assaulting
a police officer to his charges.
We need to find him.
You might want to see this.
I forgot about Lennox’s weed.
He grew the good stuff.
And how would you know?
It was, uh
[chuckles nervously]
before I was in law enforcement.
MARCUS: Mm-hm.
Forensics will have
to scrub this place too.
We need to know if anyone
was murdered in here.
Natasha wants to speak to us.
♪
Yeah. It’s a long time ago.
- [chuckles nervously]
- Hm.
NATASHA: I went through
all the original victim photos
and blew up close-ups of the tongues.
Look.
All the original victims,
they all had their tongues sliced?
Each cut is the same.
Why was this never mentioned
in any of the reports?
15 years ago, uh,
the coroner was overworked,
likely distracted by the whole
organ removal of it all.
I mean, I might have missed it.
Right. Well, you didn’t.
ARCH: What’s the significance,
I wonder?
God knows, but looks like
we have a link between
the original Abstract victims
and this guy.
NATASHA: So, Raj’s tox report,
there might also be another link.
Gamma hydroxybutyrate
So, GHB incapacitates a person.
They’re awake but unable to fight back.
You mean this poor guy was
awake while he was being gutted?
Yeah, and another two victims.
So, Hélène Bry and Colleen Noel.
What about James Montgomery?
No, not in the report. No.
So, like I said,
I’m not gonna let anything slip.
My phone’s on; you call me
if you need anything.
Great work.
♪
ARCH: Everyone’s
looking for Giroux.
The entire island is on lockdown.
We managed to track down most
every witness from 15 years ago.
Anyone still alive. Except
Except what?
We have a phantom witness or two.
MARCUS: Renuf
Am I gonna be annoyed?
No. No, no.
In Hélène Bry
and Colleen Noel’s murders,
there were two males, Caucasian,
30s, that we can’t find.
Neither were registered
as residents of Saint-Pierre,
and no other witnesses
can tell who they could be.
Are you suggesting
that they are the same person?
Uh, different names,
but same physical descriptions.
It’s worth checking.
Tout de suite.
James 3:8.
"No human can tame the tongue."
MARCUS: It’s a restless evil,
full of deadly poison.
- You know your scripture.
- MARCUS: Surprised you do.
Are you suggesting the
Abstract Killer is hunting liars?
Uh, the sliced tongue.
Speaking out of both sides
of your mouth.
Could make sense.
We need to dig into our victims’ lives.
MARCUS: So, you want to prove
that our victims are deceitful?
Or have history that could
be interpreted that way.
Lennox Giroux is a painter.
He ran an art class 16 years ago.
His MySpace was shut down,
but I managed to access his followers.
Raj and Hélène Bry’s names
are on the list.
Two of our victims
are connected to Lennox Giroux.
[phone chimes and buzzes]
Somebody turn on the TV, please.
DIARD: [TV] Thank you all
for coming.
This will be my last task as
Prefect of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.
What is she doing?
DIARD: Although I stand by
my assertion that
Jumping before she’s pushed.
DIARD: I now know
that Daniel McConnell
was not the Abstract Killer.
I impeded the case by letting
my own bias take over.
But I did really believe
that McConnell was guilty.
[cameras clicking]
I was wrong.
I’m not proud of my behaviour,
and I will have to live with that
for the rest of my life.
But as of now, our focus
is the latest victim,
Raj Dara.
[cameras clicking]
The Abstract Killer is back.
[quietly] Are you out of your mind?
[Marcus speaking French]
ARCH: It’s Giroux.
[suspenseful music]
FITZ: Hey!
Hands up.
Turn around.
That’s it.
Up against the wall.
Lennox Giroux, you’re coming with us.
THÉO: Not sure
what to make of this guy.
Bewildered. Scared.
Diard’s been recording
voice notes to herself
about the Abstract Killer.
There’s not much to most
of them, but this one
DIARD: [audio] I’ve never truly
believed that McConnell did it.
Not alone, at least.
Did the Abstract Killer
have an accomplice?
A partner who helped him
select and murder his prey?
[recording stops]
PATTY: Not sure we can trust anything
Diard has to say about this case, but
But it’s plausible.
So, you think this is your man?
[sighs] We’ll have a better idea
once we interrogate him.
And we need Diard back here, now.
I’ll track her down.
♪
♪
I came down here to turn myself in.
Turn yourself in for?
What happened at my house.
You came to turn yourself in,
but then you show up,
you’re outside, you see us,
and then you run?
Why?
Hearing Prefect Diard
talk about the Abstract Killer.
And it dawned on me,
you might think I killed Raj.
Why would we think that?
We had bad blood.
I’m not happy he’s dead, but
No, there’s no way you’re
pinning this on me. No way.
You had enough weed on your property
to cause a lot of trouble for you.
FITZ: But we’re not
so interested in weed
as much as we are interested
in your connection
to Hélène Bry and Colleen Noel.
What style of painting
did you teach, Lennox?
Those classes?
That was almost 20 years ago.
16, actually.
A month before
the Abstract Killer appeared.
Look, the class’s MySpace page
was a front
for people to order weed.
Ask anyone on Saint-Pierre.
I shut the account down
because the cops were on to me.
ARCH: You threatened
to cut Raj’s tongue out.
Yes, but I wasn’t being literal.
FITZ: It’s a very
specific threat.
Why cut his tongue out?
Raj was talking crap.
Saying it was me that screwed him over.
Saying all kinds of things. So
I just warned him.
Did you make good on those warnings?
I wasn’t gonna kill him
just because he’s a liar.
Look, Raj’s lies had no traction.
Nobody listened.
I have zero motive.
Zero.
Please tell me we’ve got our guy.
Sorry, boss, but we’re not feeling it.
RENUF: I asked around;
turns out the painting class was code
to order weed from Lennox,
and Raj was known to exaggerate.
THÉO: I don’t think Lennox has,
for lack of a better word,
the sophistication
to pull off these murders.
ARCH: We know McConnell
wasn’t the Abstract Killer.
The killings didn’t end
because he died.
FITZ: Do you think
that the actual killer
is sophisticated enough
to have just stopped?
I know that this may sound strange,
but I somehow thought he had.
To be fair, I may have endowed him
with a fictitious
emotional intelligence,
so I might better try
and understand him.
Or maybe so you could write some books.
But if he had some deep
psychological help,
if he connected with his conscience
Either way, I think we need
to broaden our search.
See if there were any similar
murders outside of Saint-Pierre.
I’ll check with some of
my counterparts back in France
and in French territories.
If you’ll excuse me,
I have a client that needs me.
Dug into our victims’ pasts,
testing our liar theory.
Hélène Bry. Turns out
there were a number of rumours
that she was being unfaithful
to her husband.
Like, a lot, a lot.
MARCUS: Hmm.
And the others?
RENUF: Colleen Noel.
Pastor’s daughter.
She sold herself
as the picture of piousness.
I knew Colleen.
She was a party girl.
Shoplifting, drugs.
There wasn’t a lot about her
that I would consider pious.
So, another liar.
What about James Montgomery?
Nothing like that.
Nothing I could dig up.
You think the killer learned
about Raj Dara’s lies, too?
[phone buzzing]
[suspenseful music]
PATTY: No one’s
been able to find Diard
since the press conference.
This is her car.
Diard’s purse, her briefcase
- [line trilling]
- And her phone.
- [phone buzzing in car]
- It’s all in her car.
Clearly, she didn’t
just leave her belongings
and her phone like this.
May I?
Look.
[car beeping]
Diard’s keys.
[sighs] What happened here?
PATTY: I got a unit
at her place already.
We’re checking it.
[Diard crying]
[ominous music]
[Diard gasps in terror]
ARCH: Did you sleep?
FITZ: Not a wink.
You?
No. [sighs]
Patty and the team
searched Diard’s house.
No one’s heard from her
since her press conference.
She confessed to lying
about the Abstract killings
- on live TV.
- What if he has her?
I wanted to make sure
we start the day off right
with the only coffee
that’s drinkable in town.
Thank you.
Oh, meaning you made it yourself.
I did.
So, the two missing witnesses
from 15 years ago,
checked and double-checked
the two names given belonged to people
who were already dead at the time.
FITZ: So
they were hiding their identity?
100%. They had to be.
They were the same person.
Was our killer playing with the cops?
Pretending to be a witness?
We believed this guy discovered
Raj’s body at the pumping station.
We tried to track him down,
but the name he gave us
Lance Debrue.
There is no one in Saint-Pierre
registered with that name,
and no one at the pumping station
has ever heard of the guy.
You mean to tell me
that we had the Abstract Killer
right in front of us
and we didn’t know it?
That’s very possible.
We’re circulating the image
to see if we can
get it positively ID’d.
FITZ: Renuf’s mystery witness
was at every other
Abstract murder crime scene
except for
James Montgomery.
There are too many elements
around James’s death
that are different.
Something is off.
We’re feeling that
James wasn’t a planned kill.
Maybe he was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Maybe he knew the killer.
We don’t know yet.
Any luck tracking down
Montgomery’s mother?
She volunteers at the hospital
in her free time.
Okay, well, I’m gonna
need to speak to her.
NATASHA: Um, okay, so no blood
or signs of any wrongdoing
at Lennox Giroux’s place,
aside from the premium grade
weed he had on site.
Um, I also tested the paint used on Raj
against results from 15 years ago.
- They’re all a match?
- Yes.
But what is interesting is this.
RENUF: Cerulean Blue.
What about it?
It was discontinued 12 years ago
when they found carcinogens in it.
Let’s see if we can
track anywhere on Earth
that still sells this stuff.
PATTY: You need
to come and see this.
A bunch of other camera angles
saw this man trailing Diard
from the press conference.
FITZ: He was following her.
RENUF: Is that
our mystery witness?
ARCH: The Abstract Killer?
MARCUS: Diard’s in danger.
There’s no telling
how long this guy takes
before he starts hurting his victims.
ARCH: If Diard is being held
by the Abstract Killer,
how much time do you think we have?
I don’t know, Arch.
I mean, I’m still not sure it’s him.
Your lying theory,
it’s a tad far-fetched.
Far-fetched? How?
We know the Abstract Killer
is very sensitive about his ego.
Especially if he was upset
that Fitz and I thought
the copycat killer was him.
And Diard just confessed on live TV
to lying about this case.
- [phone buzzing]
- And now she’s missing.
THÉO: What about this man?
The, uh, one pretending
to be a witness in murders.
You think he could be the killer?
It’s a bold move,
but maybe he likes to mess with
the cops to feel superior.
We can suppose that the Abstract Killer
has a fragile ego.
It’d be risky showing up like that,
but also a tremendous dopamine hit.
I emailed you some photos.
[clears throat]
THÉO: The download speed
out here should be criminal.
I was up all night
thinking about the case,
and in my professional opinion,
this is not the work
of the Abstract Killer.
But there are too many similarities.
This paint that was used on Raj Dara
is a match to what was used
on the original victims.
And it’s no longer in production, so
where did he get it?
Cerulean
Its diminutive is "caelum":
"heaven sky."
Yeah, the irony is not lost on me.

Yes, I do know him!

you’re outside, you see us,
and then you run?
Why?
Hearing Prefect Diard
talk about the Abstract Killer.
And it dawned on me,
you might think I killed Raj.
Why would we think that?
We had bad blood.
I’m not happy he’s dead, but
No, there’s no way you’re
pinning this on me. No way.
You had enough weed on your property
to cause a lot of trouble for you.
FITZ: But we’re not
so interested in weed
as much as we are interested
in your connection
to Hélène Bry and Colleen Noel.
What style of painting
did you teach, Lennox?
Those classes?
That was almost 20 years ago.
16, actually.
A month before
the Abstract Killer appeared.
Look, the class’s MySpace page
was a front
for people to order weed.
Ask anyone on Saint-Pierre.
I shut the account down
because the cops were on to me.
ARCH: You threatened
to cut Raj’s tongue out.
Yes, but I wasn’t being literal.
FITZ: It’s a very
specific threat.
Why cut his tongue out?
Raj was talking crap.
Saying it was me that screwed him over.
Saying all kinds of things. So
I just warned him.
Did you make good on those warnings?
I wasn’t gonna kill him
just because he’s a liar.
Look, Raj’s lies had no traction.
Nobody listened.
I have zero motive.
Zero.
Please tell me we’ve got our guy.
Sorry, boss, but we’re not feeling it.
RENUF: I asked around;
turns out the painting class was code
to order weed from Lennox,
and Raj was known to exaggerate.
THÉO: I don’t think Lennox has,
for lack of a better word,
the sophistication
to pull off these murders.
ARCH: We know McConnell
wasn’t the Abstract Killer.
The killings didn’t end
because he died.
FITZ: Do you think
that the actual killer
is sophisticated enough
to have just stopped?
I know that this may sound strange,
but I somehow thought he had.
To be fair, I may have endowed him
with a fictitious
emotional intelligence,
so I might better try
and understand him.
Or maybe so you could write some books.
But if he had some deep
psychological help,
if he connected with his conscience
Either way, I think we need
to broaden our search.
See if there were any similar
murders outside of Saint-Pierre.
I’ll check with some of
my counterparts back in France
and in French territories.
If you’ll excuse me,
I have a client that needs me.
Dug into our victims’ pasts,
testing our liar theory.
Hélène Bry. Turns out
there were a number of rumours
that she was being unfaithful
to her husband.
Like, a lot, a lot.
MARCUS: Hmm.
And the others?
RENUF: Colleen Noel.
Pastor’s daughter.
She sold herself
as the picture of piousness.
I knew Colleen.
She was a party girl.
Shoplifting, drugs.
There wasn’t a lot about her
that I would consider pious.
So, another liar.
What about James Montgomery?
Nothing like that.
Nothing I could dig up.
You think the killer learned
about Raj Dara’s lies, too?
[phone buzzing]
[suspenseful music]
PATTY: No one’s
been able to find Diard
since the press conference.
This is her car.
Diard’s purse, her briefcase
- [line trilling]
- And her phone.
- [phone buzzing in car]
- It’s all in her car.
Clearly, she didn’t
just leave her belongings
and her phone like this.
May I?
Look.
[car beeping]
Diard’s keys.
[sighs] What happened here?
PATTY: I got a unit
at her place already.
We’re checking it.
[Diard crying]
[ominous music]
[Diard gasps in terror]
ARCH: Did you sleep?
FITZ: Not a wink.
You?
No. [sighs]
Patty and the team
searched Diard’s house.
No one’s heard from her
since her press conference.
She confessed to lying
about the Abstract killings
- on live TV.
- What if he has her?
I wanted to make sure
we start the day off right
with the only coffee
that’s drinkable in town.
Thank you.
Oh, meaning you made it yourself.
I did.
So, the two missing witnesses
from 15 years ago,
checked and double-checked
the two names given belonged to people
who were already dead at the time.
FITZ: So
they were hiding their identity?
100%. They had to be.
They were the same person.
Was our killer playing with the cops?
Pretending to be a witness?
We believed this guy discovered
Raj’s body at the pumping station.
We tried to track him down,
but the name he gave us
Lance Debrue.
There is no one in Saint-Pierre
registered with that name,
and no one at the pumping station
has ever heard of the guy.
You mean to tell me
that we had the Abstract Killer
right in front of us
and we didn’t know it?
That’s very possible.
We’re circulating the image
to see if we can
get it positively ID’d.
FITZ: Renuf’s mystery witness
was at every other
Abstract murder crime scene
except for
James Montgomery.
There are too many elements
around James’s death
that are different.
Something is off.
We’re feeling that
James wasn’t a planned kill.
Maybe he was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Maybe he knew the killer.
We don’t know yet.
Any luck tracking down
Montgomery’s mother?
She volunteers at the hospital
in her free time.
Okay, well, I’m gonna
need to speak to her.
NATASHA: Um, okay, so no blood
or signs of any wrongdoing
at Lennox Giroux’s place,
aside from the premium grade
weed he had on site.
Um, I also tested the paint used on Raj
against results from 15 years ago.
- They’re all a match?
- Yes.
But what is interesting is this.
RENUF: Cerulean Blue.
What about it?
It was discontinued 12 years ago
when they found carcinogens in it.
Let’s see if we can
track anywhere on Earth
that still sells this stuff.
PATTY: You need
to come and see this.
A bunch of other camera angles
saw this man trailing Diard
from the press conference.
FITZ: He was following her.
RENUF: Is that
our mystery witness?
ARCH: The Abstract Killer?
MARCUS: Diard’s in danger.
There’s no telling
how long this guy takes
before he starts hurting his victims.
ARCH: If Diard is being held
by the Abstract Killer,
how much time do you think we have?
I don’t know, Arch.
I mean, I’m still not sure it’s him.
Your lying theory,
it’s a tad far-fetched.
Far-fetched? How?
We know the Abstract Killer
is very sensitive about his ego.
Especially if he was upset
that Fitz and I thought
the copycat killer was him.
And Diard just confessed on live TV
to lying about this case.
- [phone buzzing]
- And now she’s missing.
THÉO: What about this man?
The, uh, one pretending
to be a witness in murders.
You think he could be the killer?
It’s a bold move,
but maybe he likes to mess with
the cops to feel superior.
We can suppose that the Abstract Killer
has a fragile ego.
It’d be risky showing up like that,
but also a tremendous dopamine hit.
I emailed you some photos.
[clears throat]
THÉO: The download speed
out here should be criminal.
I was up all night
thinking about the case,
and in my professional opinion,
this is not the work
of the Abstract Killer.
But there are too many similarities.
This paint that was used on Raj Dara
is a match to what was used
on the original victims.
And it’s no longer in production, so
where did he get it?
Cerulean
Its diminutive is "caelum":
"heaven sky."
Yeah, the irony is not lost on me.
