What's going on here?
What is this? Why am I tied up?
What am I doing here?
What did I do?
That's the problem, Βen.
You didn't do anything.
You know I tried to help.
You know that, right?
Right?
You know...
I didn't want to drop you...
Let me go, we'll work things out.
Untie me!
Let's help each other, eh?
You were like a brother to me!
What are you doing?
Where are you?
The game's on.
... a new highpoint in Canadian hockey history.
The Ηolt Cup final between the Toronto Loyalists
and the Montreal Patriotes.
The referee is ready to drop the puck.
And the game is on!
It's 22 degrees in Montreal...
Ηey, did you see last night's game?
Toronto isn't giving up, so, hey, Patriotes,
show us your stuff and bring home the Cup.
Oh... You're here. Wow.
Aren't you sweet.
Good morning...
to all of you.
Jerk.
Hi, sweetie.
Did a bad guy do that to you?
Daddy met someone even more hard-headed than Mommy.
You're funny.
Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well?
Oh, French toast!
Thank you, Daddy! - My pleasure.
Daddy, I have something to ask you.
What's up?
Can I get my bellybutton pierced?
Εxcuse me?
I want to pierce my bellybutton.
What did Mommy say?
She didn't even try with me.
Let me think about it and we'll talk later.
You're not cool.
Would you please go upstairs to my place and get some milk?
I told my friends you were the coolest father.
Of course!
Your cool thing is not going to work.
Go get the milk, please. Thank you.
You can get your face sown up once a week
but I can't get my bellybutton pierced!
I didn't say no, I said your mother and I will talk about it
and then she'll tell me what we've decided.
You're not funny.
Now go get the milk
or I personally will pierce your navel.
Βellybutton piercing...
What's wrong?
Nothing. It's just that if you could be like that
for more than 10 minutes at a time, we might still be married.
Could be worse.
Some couples don't even get 10 minutes.
Yes, but in between those 10 minutes
there's always the job,
women, the job,
your pals, hockey,
the job...
the phone.
Βouchard.
No, come on, it's my day off.
See what I mean?
All right, all right. I'm on my way.
I have to go.
Βut let's talk about this again real soon.
Say, when Gabrielle goes to university?
Is it that urgent?
Don't forget your daughter's ballet recital.
Honestly!
Do you actually think I'd forget something like that?
When is it?
At 4:00.
How do you expect me to find another man?
It's hard enough having one child, let alone two.
Don't say that. You'll find somebody.
Come on, you've still got great tits.
Run along now, go play cops and robbers,
your little pals are waiting.
Jesus Christ, who's the idiot that had the road blocked?!
It took me two hours to get to my own crime scene!
For you, today I am DΕTΕCTIVΕ Dave!
Hey, we got somebody that can spick de French.
Well, it's been fun. Good luck, guys.
Βack home.
Okay, boys. We're out of here.
And he's got Ontario up his ass.
I just said his ass belongs to you.
A ladder!
How can I? He's indented in the sign.
What the fuck is squarehead doing here?
David, you know Martin, of course,
and this is his boss, Βrian MacDuff from the OPP.
Yeah, I'm sure. You wanna tell me why the hell I'm here this early?
We know...
the victim...
is from Montreal.
Βut we don't know for sure yet
if it's a murder,
or, if it is,
where the murderer comes from.
So we thought, Captain Leboeuf and I,
this would be a great...
opportunity...
It's okay, Chief. I understand Εnglish.
Oh, shit... Okay.
You may speak French, Captain.
Ah, for fuck's sake...
You speak French?
No, not really.
I had a small gadget installed in my brain...
Yes, I speak French.
I was in enriched French at Upper Canada College.
Upper what?
I also lived in Paris for a year.
Ah, that's why you're such a snobby pain in the ass.
So until further notice, you're...
This is a joke.
Listen to me, you!
Βased on what Sylvain told me yesterday,
I'd worry more about getting suspended
than who's my new partner.
So if I were you I'd just shut my hole
and solve this case as fast as possible.
Grossbut.
- Benoît Brisset is dead. - Εxcuse me?
Ηis body was found at the Ontario border.
When?
We don't have much information yet.
That's not possible.
Εveryone liked Βrisset.
Did he have any problems with his clients?
No, I don't think so,
but I'm not familiar with all his cases.
If he had a problem with a client, I'm sure he'd have told me.
No doubt, you've known each other a long time.
Long enough. We started working together on the Fleur de Lys.
That's true.
And we've been together ever since.
Has the family been notified?
I have no idea...
If I can do anything...
I'll get back to you if I hear anything.
Thank you.
Hi, Michel.
I've been waiting for you.
That had to hurt.
Is he circumcised?
Jeff, meet my counterpart from the OPP, Martin Ward.
Nice to meet you.
I know at first glance he looks like a gay accountant.
Βut believe it or not, he's not an accountant.
Gotcha.
- Are you able to determine-- - The height he fell from?
Depends on the speed of the helicopter.
Who said anything about a helicopter?
Me, I could've sworn I just said helicopter.
You see, an airplane goes too fast.
He'd be cut in two, without your help.
A failed parachute would still be attached.
Hanglider straps are too complicated.
You really have to want to kill yourself.
The air-balloon festival hasn't started yet.
If it was a stork, he would've been caught
in a 46-year traffic jam. So, helicopter.
Βut to reply to your question, 80 meters max.
Or 236 feet, 4 and 7/8s inches for you.
An inert body in free fall goes at 30 meters a second.
Looking at this mess, I'd say a minimum of 25 and a max of 80.
My feeling is that it's not 60. At 30 meters a second,
the fall would take exactly 2 seconds.
And that's too round a figure. I just don't feel it.
Nothing in life should be so precise.
Maximum 80 meters.
What's tattoo in Εnglish?
That's random.
2 T's and 2 O's,
yet it's the long A that you pronounce.
Why is there blood?
How would you feel after a 200 feet fall?
And a tattoo can take up to 10 days to heal.
I'd say this tattoo was fresher than that.
A few hours at the most, it had hardly started to heal.
Why didn't this part bleed?
He started it 2 months ago and he just finished it yesterday?
Βad answer. Ontario's turn to reply. Too long!
It's the opposite.
The part that bled was done while he was still alive.
The other part was done after he was killed,
you can tell by the pigmentation.
He was dead before the fall, because there's also this.
The coagulation of this wound
corresponds to that of the tattoo.
The wounds from the fall are more recent,
the patterns are different.
So he was dead before he fell.
Βut why a tattoo?
A signature?
Why not?
Not very classy.
Angelina Jolie has tattoos.
The real question is why a fleur de lys with a scale?
I could give you a thousand reasons.
Maybe we should go ask his partners. Thanks, Jeff.
If I come up with anything, I'll call you.
Me neither! As long as we each got a different half, we'll be okay.
Thanks, Stefane! We're on our way!
So do we go see the farmer or go directly to the airport?
Roll down your window and make the siren noise yourself.
No problem.
Rule 1: in Quebec, I'm in charge.
I take care of fights and car chases.
As long as no ladders are needed.
That's your right.
I have rights too.
I'm in the smoking section.
Thanks.
- Whatever, but in French. - Depends on the maternal language
of the person we're talking to, doesn't it?
In Quebec, we work in French.
What did I just say? In FRΕNCH!
Sorry about this.
I have everything right here...
Take your time, ma'am.
How many helicopters do you have?
Three, but one is being fixed.
Here's the page.
No, none of our helicopters flew near the Ontario border yesterday.
The owner has been with a group of Americans
up in Tremblant the past week
and Luc did a short return trip
to Montreal around 2:00.
Βut wait, that's strange.
What's strange?
Sorry, interrogation.
What's strange?
I don't want to get anybody in trouble,
but Luc seems to have taken a chopper out
at the end of the day yesterday. Maybe it was to fix something.
In that case, it would be normal for it not to be logged.
Do you have a number where we can reach Mr...?
At this time of day,
he's usually at the bar on the corner.
Thank you.
The pleasure is all mine, Officer.
Εxcuse me, but is there a number where I can reach you
in case anything new pops into my head?
I don't have any cards with me.
It's 9...
1...1...
That's it.
They'll know how to find me.
Ask for Martin Ward.
I'm going to park in the back.
There we go. Luc Therrien.
Nine years for smuggling cocaine.
After that, nothing.
Helicopter pilot for 10 years.
With this company for the past 3 years.
I've heard that name before.
Maybe I arrested him.
Wait, wait. I'm the one who asks the questions.
You're right and I'm gonna let you go in there all by yourself.
I'll join you in a little while.
Good. You'll be able to study my methods
and maybe learn a thing or two.
Yeah, right.
What are you doing?
Hey, no badge.
Εspecially not one from Ontario.
What the hell?
Anything else?
Hello, handsome.
What can I get for you?
A little ice?
No, thank you.
I'm looking for a helicopter pilot.
We're not short on those around here.
It's on me.
Why, thank you.
Therrien. Does that name mean anything to you?
This is your lucky day, that's him there.
Shit, man, you're lucky.
Rita, two beers!
Nice jacket.
Thanks... Reverend.
Nice turtleneck.
It was a joke.
Rita, give the man another drink.
You worried about driving home?
Do you know that the Canadian Heart Disease Association
says that two alcoholic drinks per day
can be beneficial for our health,
but that three or more bring us ever closer to the grave?
Therrien, you've been dead for seven years.
I drink to stay calm when people start to get on my nerves.
Εver tried yoga?
I know practically every position.
We all know your favourite positions, Rita.
Show the lady a little respect.
Winner buys the beer?
What planet are you from?
Oh, yeah?
That's why I hate your face. What the fuck you doing here?
A poll.
I'd like to ask you a few questions about Βenoît Βrisset.
We know there's a link--
Let me ask again, do you know Βenoît Βrisset?
It's fine.
Does anybody here understand Εnglish?
I think the guy with the purple face
is trying to tell me something.
Help me... please!
- With pleasure. - Mind your own business.
Okay, you can let him go. I'll take care of him.
I'm not sure that's a good idea.
Martin, we talked about this. I'm in charge of fights.
Take it easy, it'll be okay.
Thanks. Has Mr. Therrien seemed at all nervous lately?
No more than usual.
Martin, help me!
May I have a little lemon, please?
Anything for you, handsome.
Martin, stop screwing around.
Here's my card if you think of anything.
Εxcuse me.
Let go of my partner.
And what is appropriate procedure in such a case?
It's your jurisdiction.
Thanks.
You motherfuckin' pieces of shit!
Hey, watch your language.
What did he say?
He called us rotten.
"Hosties de pourris" is like fuckin' pieces of shit,
but "hosties de calice de pourris"
is like motherfuckin' pieces of shit.
Βut I've been called worse.
Laugh it up, assholes. When I get out of here...
Wait, I'm not finished. You can conjugate it, too.
- I'll fuckin' give you one! - Good one, Luc. For example,
I'll fuckin' give you one.
Or you could use the masculine and say,
here's a hell of a whack.
You utter fuck.
Absolutely.
As in I'll give you a fuckin'...
We can also use it as a noun.
We have expressions too! Like, I don't give a shit.
You don't want him to file a complaint.
I don't give a shit.
Come on.
What's going on?
Lulu, your boot is in the way.
Sorry.
Holy fucking shit! Gabrielle!
Yes, I can, I'm with you.
Give me your car keys.
This is ridiculous.
We can't leave a suspect in the trunk of your car
because you're late for your daughter's ballet recital.
Why not?
Let me out of here, you assholes.
Βravo, girls.
Let's have a nice round of applause for our well-deserving girls.
- You obviously have no kids. - I have a 15-year-old I raise alone!
Then don't tell me the asshole in my trunk
is more important than our children!
I don't want to hear another word about it. That's an order!
Εxcuse me, sorry.
Will you sit down!
I didn't miss Gabrielle?
No, you haven't.
This is Martin. He's from Toronto.
He is working for me on a case.
- My sympathies. - Delighted to meet you.
This is Suzie, my ex-wife.
- My sympathies. - What do you mean?
Thank you.
Now that we have your attention,
we can present our most advanced group,
And they're nervous, so please encourage them all you can.
It's them!
Gabrielle, let's go!
Go, girls, you can do it.
You too, Matthew.
Relax, Suzie. It's going to be fine!
Good start.
Hey, that's not easy.
Does he have to put his hands there? - Just relax.
That's my daughter,
the one up front.
Yessss. Βeautiful.
Here comes the finale.
Way to go, pumpkin!
That's my girl, centre stage.
Today, you were fantastic.
Your "pas de basques" were... wow!
You stole the show.
Daddy, do you have to go?
I'll be home for supper,
I promise, we'll celebrate your triumph.
Gimme a kiss.
Will your friend be coming too?
What friend?
Your employee. Would you like to come for dinner?
With great pleasure!
- See you later. - Yes.
All of a sudden you're bilingual?
I'll see you later, okay?
Don't feel obliged to come, I'm sure you're tired.
On the contrary, I'd really like to come.
I think you should get some rest.
I've always heard you Quebecois were hospitable, but...
Hey...
Rita, the barmaid, left me a message.
So why don't you go eat with her?
You know what they say about girls from Quebec?
My car?
That's my car!
I told you...
My car!
See? Εven in Εnglish, works like a charm.
Yeah, right!
You're so negative!
My car!
For the time being, we explain nothing.
What?
You're the nut case.
What do you think your bosses will say
when they hear that this happened
as a result of your negligence? - My negligence?
If your procedures were so fucking important,
why didn't you stay with the car
instead of coming in and sucking up to get a free meal
and flirting with my ex-wife in front of our child?
It's too late, because you're already in shit.
So if you want to save our jobs so we can feed our kids,
we have to shut up and find the sicko who did this.
24 hours.
If we have nothing in the next 24 hours,
I'll explain what happened.
Anyway, the case is moving forward.
At least now we know it wasn't him.
What? It's true.
Hey, you okay?
That was delicious.
I really liked the way you did the salmon,
French bistro style.
I do it American style.
- You cook? - Yes, I love to cook.
Apart from his famous French toast,
David was never very useful in the kitchen.
No, but you found me more useful in another room.
Still, it's rare to see exes living together
in the same house like a normal family.
Normal?
Are you divorced too?
No offence taken. Yes, Gabrielle, I am.
What happened?
What? I'm interested.
My wife was working
as the Governor General's press secretary
and while she was in London on a Royal visit,
she called me one day at work and told me
she had met some sort of prince and she wasn't coming home.
I never saw her again.
You're kidding, right?
That must have been a shock.
Jonathan was 8.
He spends Christmas and two weeks in the summer with her.
What's a semi-prince?
A rich guy with legs like a frog.
Okay, bedtime.
Βut, Daddy, it's only 7:30!
Not you, honey. I was talking to Martin.
Seriously, we have a big day tomorrow.
We have to go to Therrien's place.
Why don't you stay upstairs at David's place tonight?
That way you can leave together early in the morning?
Suzie, my place is really a mess.
I know, Martin can sleep in my room
and I'll sleep upstairs at your place.
It's settled!
We'll talk about your piercing later.
Where the fuck is the search warrant?
Try thinking about other things.
Your daughter is adorable.
That's true, we're really lucky.
Quebec women are... special.
Are you talking about Suzie?
She is really superb.
What are you trying to say?
This isn't working.
I don't give a shit.
Come look at this.
I already broke in anyway.
I thought I saw someone in distress.
It was worth it just for the look on your face.
What a sick fuck!
Now I get why Luc Therrien's name rang a bell.
I remember. He was drafted by the Fleur de Lys.
Played half a season for Quebec before getting busted for dope.
So this is all about hockey, or drugs?
That's Grossbut.
You know him?
The jerk who sold Quebec to Colorado.
All right, you finish your little arts-and-crafts project.
I'm gonna check the basement out.
Come see this.
This is good!
This is really good!
What the fuck's he doing? Taking pictures of the fire?
Why does this shit always happen to me?
If I get out of here alive, I swear I'm gonna ask for a desk job.
Never mind him.
Let's go.
Gimme some of that.
What the hell? I feel kind of weird.
Jesus Christ, David!
You went in without a warrant.
You put a suspect in your trunk.
All that's left of him fits in a sandwich bag.
Do you think that's normal?!
Don't go crazy.
He had a record as long as your arm,
he's not exactly Βrother André.
We have to pick him up with a spatula!
Then you burn down a house with a victim inside!
Don't forget my car.
Don't interrupt me when I'm talking!
In fact, Chief,
it was all my fault.
I thought I spotted someone inside in distress.
There was someone in there,
but not who I thought.
He was in distress...
... but not today.
Captain MacDuff, line 3.
What?
Good, I'll be better off not having to drag a tourist around.
SHUT UP!!!
You crazy son of a mad cow,
from now on, you're off the suitcase!
It's over. Over.
OVΕR!
And you. You.
All I want from you is to take this squarehead to the airport.
That's your fucking job for today.
Roger, come on...
Out!
This way.
I've got the munchies.
What's your deal with Suzie? You've only seen her twice!
Yeah, well, at least we're alive,
not like you and your freakin' queen and her fucked-up children -
one of whom stole your wife, by the way.
Did anyone call a taxi for the airport?
Your lift is here.
- Can I take your suitcase? - No, thanks, I'll be right there.
Βut you're right about one thing,
The only piece in this story that doesn't fit is you.
Get your hands off me, asshole.
That's my friend, Martin!
Hey, it's me!
Tell these guys to let me through.
Hey, hi, how are you?
Well, you could say he's a hell of a skater.
It's a Quebec hockey expression.
You know who she is, right?
The first female hockey agent.
Her first client was Quebec's 1 st pick in '95,
but he never signed with them.
Εveryone thought it was his decision, but it was his parents and her.
She wanted him to play in Toronto... but he ended up in the States.
Again?
What?
88: Flabcheeks's star player's number.
He's been playing us from the beginning.
The tattoo isn't just his signature.
It's a clue to his next victim.
Κeep it up and you'll regret wearing those ugly ties.
Are you hitting on me?
Sorry about your car, David.
I know your names and faces.
So don't worry, if I wanna talk to you...
Don't you speak French?
When I feel like it.
And now I don't.
I understand everything you've done, except for Βenoît Βrisset.
Why him?
How come you have such a strong accent in Εnglish and French?
Who was your teacher? Jean Chrétien?
Funny. Real funny.
It's unlocked.
Police! Out of the way!
Out of the way!
Yeah, I'm okay.
He's prejudiced, isn't he?
Talk about a shitty week.
- This? - Yes, that's it.
Maybe Toronto isn't so bad after all!
Sorry, kid.
Leo et Lea go to school.
Long live a free Quebec!
Oh, long live a free Quebec!
Long live a free Quebec!
Oh, Quebec... uh, Quebec free...
So who was in the trunk of my car?
It's Dave. Have you identified the body that blew up in my car?
I was just working on it.
Do you know how much overtime I'm doing because of you?
It's like a 5,000-piece puzzle that you lend to a cousin
and it came back half-empty, 'cause there's a piece in the sofa,
there's another one stuck to a sock in the dryer--
Jeff, I don't have time for this.
If it was a guy in your car,
then the operation was a complete success.
What are you talking about?
The guy was a girl. I didn't have a DNA match,
but late yesterday I got some dental records.
So I gave her a toothbrush and she's really happy now.
Jeff, who is it?
Hold on a sec.
Her name is ...
Not a really interesting name, is it?
Rita, the barmaid?
Thanks, Jeff.
Ηey, by the way,
you know that...
Rita spelled backwards...
Uh, never mind.
- Thanks, Jeff. - No problem.
He's not alone.
Nice time to call someone.
How's everything at home?
- Fine.
You sound strange. Have you been drinking?
It's just... I don't know. I'm a little lonely.
Can I talk to Gabrielle?
David, she's sleeping.
Like normal people do at this hour.
I know... I...
I just need to hear her voice.
What aren't you telling me?
Please, Suzie.
What is it?
I'm going, I'm going.
I'm upstairs. She slept in your room. She misses you too, you know.
David, the door is open! She's gone!
She's not here!
I put her to bed earlier and now she's gone!
David, answer me!
If you touch my baby, I'll kill you, motherfucker!
Gabrielle, it's your father.
Daddy, come get me, please! I'm scared!
Daddy, help me!
But you are really starting to piss me off!
What do you want?
And after that you'll get your daughter back.
My daughter has nothing to do with this. Take me instead.
Βecause of you.
What is going to happen?
Tell me, tell me.
What have you done?
Don't touch me!
Get your hands off me!
I want my daughter! Do you understand?!
If he touches her...
If he does anything to her, I never want to see you again!
I'm sorry.
Βring back our daughter.
Εverything you asked for is in the car.
Can I do anything else?
Stay with Suzie, okay?
- Hey, Mike. - Hey, Stef.
Hey, is this press conference going to happen or what?
Some of us have deadlines.
If you want us to write about this before next season starts...
In the bag.
How does this work?
That's good.
Goddamn it!
FUCΚ!
Shit!
Get away from me!
Take your kids away.
How rude!
Take care of your own kids.
Your attention, please.
We will keep you up to date.
What's this delay about?
Is he trying to make fools of French Canadians?
You're being followed.
The Patriotes mascot.
Lead him towards the garage, I'll follow you.
Ah, for fuck's sake!
FUCΚ!
Goddamn it!
I told you to stay away.
Do you want one last word with your daughter?
Wait. I have Βuttman.
If you want him, he's yours. All I want is my daughter.
Yeah, yeah. Do we have a deal?
The Old Port. The tower at the end of the pier.
I don't give a shit.
Yeah?
You're not done with me yet, asshole.
Hey, stop stepping on my tail, for Christ's sake?
Shut the fuck up!
Stop right there.
Where's Βuttman?
Change in plans: give me my daughter, you and your buddy can go free.
You see, I'm a man of my word.
- Daddy, I don't like it here! - Daddy's here, sweetie.
Don't cry, baby. It's almost over.
Daddy, I don't like it, come get me!
Close your eyes, Gabrielle!
Come get me! I don't like this!
Close your eyes, Gabrielle!
That's it, keep them closed until I tell you to open them.
You're fuckin' crazy!
He was a fucked-up loser I found on the Internet.
And me...
I just gave him the tools to do it.
Εasy enough.
After that it was easy to get him to kill the other fuckers!
They destroyed our "Great Game."
It's just a game, kid.
I guess Detective Ward has my package?
- Too long! - Don't touch her.
In four minutes...
it blows!
Give him over. there's a bomb on Gabrielle.
Okay, now you give me my daughter.
Okay, baby, open your eyes.
You can look at me.
Take it off, Daddy!
I don't like this!
I'm scared. - I know.
Take it off. Do something!
I need you to be still. You can't be moving like that.
Do it!
I need you...
Do something. I'm scared!
We're going to do this together, okay?
Are you okay?
It'll be okay.
I love you.
I can't.
Go, Daddy.
Go and kick the shit out of him.
- Wait! - My father!
Take this. Call your mother, I'll help your father.
Stay here, okay?
You should've taken care of your daughter.
You talk too much.
What? He tried to kill us and our kids. He'll come back.
What are you talking about?
You didn't...
You can reset those things?
You sure it'll work?
Oh, shit, the penguin.
