00:00Deputy 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?
00:15Why wouldn't we stand by our sworn statement?
00:18I know her pretty well, I take that as a yes.
00:21One 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 at play.
00:29There's no reason why we'd withhold information.
00:33In my role as Prefect, my directive from Interpol and Paris HQ is to make sure of that. So, let's start at the beginning.
00:44Sorry Prefect, but they've discovered a body.
00:47Well, I guess this round of questioning will have to wait.
00:51I want updates, Archambault, on all ongoing cases going forward.
00:56Until we figure out your and the Inspector's future at the SPMP.
01:01Bien sûr, Prefect Diard.
01:08Until she figures out our futures at the SPMP?
01:11Is it just me or does Diard seem to think that she's our boss now?
01:15For the time being, she is.
01:17Le Prefect is the President's eyes and ears in St-Pierre.
01:20And, lucky for us, policing is part of her portfolio.
01:25But she's not a cop?
01:27No, worse. A former cop.
01:30She used to run the SPMP, so of course, she thinks she knows how we should do our jobs better than we do.
01:35Brutal.
01:36Brutal.
01:37How do you feel about having to talk to her about the whole, you know, graveyard, the shoot-up?
01:43Please! Stop!
01:46Calgary, no!
01:51No feelings. We just need to tell her the truth.
01:55Okay.
01:57Behold, the old fish plant.
01:59Completely blocked.
02:10It's bleak. Very bleak.
02:12You have to see for yourself.
02:29I need to sleep.
02:30Oh, I need to sleep.
02:31Yes, I need she.
02:32I need to sleep.
02:33I really need to sleep no more.
02:52I need to sleep no more.
02:59the building was abandoned in the 80s it's scheduled to be demolished the construction
03:16workers were starting their day when they found him and no cameras inside or outside
03:22no cctv nearby it's a dead zone any luck ideing the body we're working on it if he's a local
03:27it won't be too hard gruesome doesn't come close to describing this most of his organs were removed
03:35they're over there well they weren't removed in here there's almost no blood anywhere on the floor
03:41walls nothing i want this room scrub for dna hair everything well that would be hard arch kids have
03:48been using this place as a late night party spot since i was in high school i mean everybody in
03:53st pierre's dna will be down here somewhere gross bad it's true i can't believe it believe what
04:03why am i getting the feeling that you guys have seen something like this before because we have
04:10st pierre has a serial killer had the case was closed long ago it was before my time but the
04:21abstract killer case is famous three original victims james montgomery helen brie colin noel
04:28our john doe today was presented in exactly the same way right down to the paint on their bodies
04:34as if their bodies were a canvas and like john doe all the victims were mutilated and their internal
04:40organs removed previous murders there were no messages left at the scene not that i know of
04:47who were the original suspects of the abstract killings initially antoine vignot and then in the
04:53end evidence led to this man daniel mcconnell
04:56antoine this guy he was at the scene today he was in an altercation
05:03with him claude jackman he was married to helen the entire island is panicked the word is out the
05:12abstract killer is back they're wrong the abstract killer was daniel mcconnell these cases were closed
05:17the prefect would know she was a lead on this case i was oh so how did you land on mcconnell as the
05:25murderer the stack of evidence that led us to him not to mention mcconnell confessed so whoever
05:31killed your john doe it isn't the abstract killer and i guess the first thing we need to do is go
05:35talk to this daniel mcconnell i bet he's dead i shot him in self-defense right before he tried to put
05:45a fish knife in my gut be that as it may given the obvious similarities it would be idiotic not to look
05:54and see if there's a link well we wouldn't want to be idiotic
06:00one of the contractors on site id'd our victim his name is brian montgomery montgomery as in james
06:08montgomery brothers so the abstract killer's first victim from 15 years ago and our new victim today
06:15our brothers hell of a coincidence
06:21get down to brian montgomery's house and see it off we'll need forensics there as soon as possible to sweep the place
06:27natasha's got a preliminary report
06:32antoine right what they say about me the accusations they're not true
06:48okay well why don't you tell us why you're here then
06:53i drove helen home that night the night she died
06:58from a party and i told the police all of this a million times
07:02it's been 15 years for christ's sake it's just that today when i saw that he's back
07:08i knew you'd be coming back for me the whole town will
07:11do you want to come inside mr vigno i've spent enough time in that place
07:15just leave me alone i didn't hurt anyone
07:21the abstract killer returns
07:30i lived here back then it was an ugly time no one wanted to leave their houses
07:35kind of sickening to think that he's still out there
07:39so you think this is his handiwork
07:40well after briefly looking at the file
07:42similar technique although the original had clean incisions
07:46what about brian here
07:47well at first glance the cuts show some hesitancy
07:51noted and time of death
07:53pinpointed between 8 and 9 p.m
07:55but like in the abstract killer murders the vic was sliced from stem to stern
08:01he was gutted with a long thin blade
08:05fish billeting kind of thing
08:07not hard to find those around here
08:09whoever did this didn't do it at the scene
08:11they would have needed like a killing floor
08:13somewhere remote where they could control the variables clean up
08:17yeah well wherever that was it would have made a mess
08:20um look at this bruising
08:24so i'm not sure what could have caused it
08:29but it looks like he was pelted with a bunch of sharp rocks
08:32once i'm able to really dig in
08:34pardon the pun
08:36um i'll have some answers
08:37hmm like in the new suit fits
08:41oh
08:42okay thank you
08:44thanks
08:47yes hello
08:47yes madame la refaire
08:51yes the coroner will send her report to the station
08:54yes of course we will share everything with you
08:58okay
08:59you'd think we never solved a homicide case together
09:04she really wants us to cross our t's and dot our i's
09:07i miss marcus
09:10me too arch
09:12me too
09:13oh can we make a quick stop at vedas
09:18i think it'll help
09:20i figured i'd see you two before day's end
09:30so i can't believe
09:31i am montgomery
09:32murdered in the same exact way his brother was
09:35you work the abstract killer case
09:37mm-hmm
09:38still haunts me
09:39never seen such acts of human depravity in my life
09:41and i hope to never see it again
09:43diard somehow thinks that this murder is not connected
09:47yeah
09:48i have to say
09:48it feels a lot like she just doesn't want us being around in her old case
09:53and diard is such a micromanager
09:54even if brian was murdered by the abstract killer
09:56her ego would never let her admit that she was wrong all those years ago
09:59what do you mean wrong
10:00nobody wanted to believe that we had a serial killer on our hands
10:03brass wanted to get things cleared up as fast as possible
10:06you don't think diard got the right guy
10:10diard claimed she got a confession but nobody heard it but her
10:13and then she took him down
10:14the case launched her to chief of the spmp
10:17she was promoted in record time
10:19opened doors for her career in paris and now prefect
10:21and then the killing stopped
10:23what was your theory way back then
10:26like everyone else i liked antoine vigno for it
10:29but i was a lowly beat cop back then
10:32and so diard did everything in her power to keep me away from the real action
10:35anyway you guys do what you gotta do
10:38just don't get on diard's bad side
10:40trust me
10:40boss she's kidding us
10:42when are you coming back
10:43well she's not too keen on seeing me again
10:45judging by how fast she signed those leave of absence papers
10:52none of three of us could have died back there in that graveyard
10:55me in particular
10:57if you're trying to thank us for saving your life
11:00then you're welcome
11:01you can joke about it all you want arch but the bottom line is you two did save my life
11:07not sure how to get my head around what galagoo did to me
11:15don't drink too much on this leave
11:17we need you back
11:18pronto
11:1910-4
11:29marcus bringing up galaguer like that
11:31you think he knows
11:33galaguer's your father i doubt it
11:34if it got out
11:35people will question my professional integrity
11:38loyalty
11:39and diaz
11:40would have a field day
11:42the way i see it the only three people who can actually know are you me and your mother
11:45and if anyone else finds out
11:47perch
11:48who cares
11:52we've been searching brian montgomery's house and doing a sweep of the property
11:56we found this laptop
11:57and there's something else you need to see
12:08crazy
12:09no?
12:11abstract killer victim helen brie
12:14this is her sister chantelle
12:17brian montgomery's brother was murdered by the abstract killer sure but this is still a little obsessive
12:24makes one wonder did brian kill his brother
12:2715 years ago
12:30right someone finds out the exact revenge they stage brian's body in the exact same way
12:36well look at this brian seemed as sure as everyone else that antoine was the killer
12:42okay document all of this i want everything in here dusted and these walls of crazy
12:47locked and listen uh check around the property see if you can find a shed or a garage somewhere
12:52where the actual murder might have taken place
12:54okay
12:57the photos down there of antoine vineyard they look recent
13:05so everything leads back to brian montgomery maybe he found something that you know
13:10he should live
13:17look at that car i saw it outside brian's
13:22is
13:25is he following us
13:32he's definitely following us who's dumb enough to take a police car in your daylight
13:35i don't know
13:48fix don't do what i think you're about to do what do you think i'm going to do
14:00out
14:01hands where we can see them
14:03why were you following us
14:16i'm sorry okay i just i i thought that you'd lead us to some answers we were freaked out about brian's murder
14:23we saw brian's basement there was a lot more going on down there than uh grief support
14:39were you investigating the abstract killer murders we know who the real abstract killer is
14:45and it's not the one that you guys killed in custody mcconnell we know antoine killed my sister
14:51witnesses saw him drive her the night she was murdered
14:55do you know that he was a painter an artist hey hey why are you holding her
14:58c'est bon c'est bon claude it's fine i'm sorry why are you here they told me that you took our car
15:02you're holding it at some kind of impound sean did they run you off the road we can sue you you
15:06you know why don't you take a seat and a breath and tell us more about the relationship between you
15:11both she's my wife oh we were under the impression you were married to her sister elaine was
15:19murdered 15 years ago we found comfort in each other when lynn died i stopped living working
15:25school i lost my university scholarship i lost everything yeah we both did okay so do not sit
15:30here and judgment about us or how we helped each other cope and move on look are we allowed to go
15:38no not without the formal statements now listen to my warning do not interfere in this investigation
15:46again let us do our jobs you did your jobs last time don't count on us just standing by while you
15:52mess this up again why are ellen brie's husband and sister here we discussed this the abstract killer
16:04cases are closed chantelle was following us she was interfering with our investigation are you aware
16:09that those two they're they're married now ellen is murdered chantelle loses her sister claude
16:16loses his wife they fall into each other's arms in grief or or they wanted to learn out of the
16:21picture so they could be together seriously what motive would they have to kill brian montgomery
16:26or the other original victims maybe they found out that brian was the killer or the others we'd have
16:30to figure that out leave the past in the past and call me when you have viable proof about this murder
16:36i get her being protective of her case but you don't think well there's some reasons she doesn't
16:46want us digging up those cases from the past or her real beef with me you marcus she was kept in the
16:53dark about the undercover sting marcus was running against caliger he would have loved to be on the inside
16:58with interpel ah what's up there is a forensic psychologist who consulted on the original
17:06murders dr theo fouchard i reached out to see if you would meet with us but dr just said keep the
17:12past in the past yeah then i guess we shouldn't tell her oh wow is that martinique
17:25arch thought you might be able to help us with an investigation that we're working the rumors are
17:35already spreading across the island the abstract killer returns is that what you think my old case
17:42materials with some age a phd in a decade plus of clinical research under my belt it will be
17:47interesting to look at the case through a new lens you sound excited concerned everything about brian
17:54montgomery's murder lines up with the original abstract killers murders except this
18:02i have murdered sleep i shall sleep no more crude paraphrase macbeth does murder sleep macbeth
18:09shall sleep no more clearly he is sending us a message the abstract killer is awake actually for context
18:18shakespeare's full text shakespeare's full text is focused on macbeth's guilt you know the horror he
18:25was feeling for the murder he committed well that would assume that the abstract killer feels remorse
18:30than you're mcconnell the supposed abstract killer once the yard killed him the murders did stop
18:47mcconnell was involved in a string of violent offenses for which he seemed remorseless
18:52and he was an aircraft machinist are you aware that's one of the top professions associated with
18:56serial killers not am i sensing that you didn't think mcconnell was guilty well when interviewed
19:04mcconnell postured provided vague details and he had little knowledge of the holdback evidence police
19:11had maybe he was just lying or smarter than the cops who were interviewing perhaps but serial killers
19:18torture extinguish life their own visceral pleasure for some form of reward
19:27ways killers behave their psychodynamics what motivates them mcconnell's profile matched
19:34none of the known perpetrators what if he had another motivator you know like uh anger revenge or
19:40maybe just wanted some attention it's an urban myth that serial killers want to be caught or that they
19:46love publicity now whoever the abstract killer is their motivation is genetic you see humans were
19:53hardwired to recognize predators it's our fight-or-flight response a biological gift of fear likewise some
20:02are genetically programmed for moral evil the serial killer gene is potentially in me
20:07and me what about antoine vignot a simple man those killings were planned meticulously staged
20:17i suppose he can't be ruled out we'll speak to antoine when we leave here
20:24the killer next door despite the fbi's mantra that only one percent of murders can be attributed to
20:30serial killers well we now know that they are in fact responsible for far more murders as many as one in
20:3620. so they say have them all laid out like this i should take a copy maybe you'll learn something
20:46okay thank you for your time it's been very helpful fitz let's go speak to antoine
20:51i don't know fitzpatrick what even was that back there i don't know what you're talking about but i
21:13will say dr death was way too into this whole thing uh he's an actual expert on the topic oh he mentioned
21:19that a couple of times thanks what i got a read on the guy oh yeah you and your reads all right she
21:25was hitting on you while we were looking at photos of gutted humans oh well earlier natasha hit on you
21:32while we were standing over an actual gutted body she was complimenting my new suit which is brand new
21:39and you didn't even notice by the way i did anyway i was thinking about the shakespeare quote
21:43is the killer trying to tell us he's back or feeling guilty i don't know why don't we go back
21:49and uh talk to dr theo maybe he'll have an answer madame vigno where's the police what's wrong someone
21:56walked into our house and my husband he he he snapped when we discovered the mess inside i i was picking
22:03things up and then and then the next thing he he just drove off where is antoine now where did he go
22:08he was ranting about claude he grabbed something in the shed he's headed there now okay
22:22did antoine torch to our house
22:36you just need to hope chantal is ready to move
22:38and i want him in for questioning the forensics are going to need to test everything on this
23:03property and uh we found this paint thinner could have been the accelerant paint thinner antoine the
23:11painter we know you broke into antoine vigno's house don't try to deny it i was looking for the
23:18murder weapon that was used to kill brian we gave you direct instructions to stay out of this
23:22investigation and let us do our jobs yeah well you weren't exactly doing your jobs when the actual
23:27abstract killer tried to burn my house down and kill chantelle do you have any idea why antoine would
23:32want to do something like this to you chantelle three weeks ago claude brian and i were at le
23:37rustique and claude stepped out to smoke the second that he was gone antoine cornered brian and me
23:43and he told us that if we didn't stop digging up stuff on him there'll be consequences and then brian
23:48ends up dead and antoine's been right in front of you this entire time tell us about the fire i wasn't
23:53home when i got back the fire already started and i saw antoine drive away what did you find when you
24:00were at antoine's nothing well as soon as you're cleared from the doctors you'll be facing charges
24:05for breaking and entering so don't get too comfortable
24:17in the shape of a servant to tell the duchess that her carriage was waiting
24:20she wrung her hands and mocked his death i must go ahead i must go ahead
24:26jeune bieve maman qu'est-ce que tu fais lÃ
24:34stop
24:36son fils rohan est sous supervision psychiatrique aux etats-unis jeune et tout seul
24:50il savait pas s'il va se réveiller
24:56c'est gentil date passé le voir je suis ici pour une enquête je te tiens au courant de son état si tu veux
25:03très bien
25:12i spent years hating the man wanting to take him down
25:16you know
25:16and now somehow i'm worried about him that's a lot yeah well i'm very sorry for nearly killing
25:25your real dad yeah you were just trying to save my life you were trying to save my life right i was
25:33i don't know if you found antoine we showed up at his place but his wife pauline was home she
25:41said uh antoine didn't come home last night you searched the house okay don't get mad not yet
25:46instead i did a stakeout i was thinking maybe antoine comes back or pauline gets spooked and then what
25:51happened well i was right well he got spooked she left 10 minutes ago in a panic i'm following her now
25:57stay with her
26:06pauline what's your take on the murder we're for sure missing something
26:29i know it one theory i had was that mcconnell had an accomplice or two can i ask you a question
26:36of course
26:39you took out mcconnell how did that go
26:44i knew mcconnell was that guy in my guts and on paper
26:49i shouldn't have gone alone to question him but i wanted to prove myself
26:54yeah i get that trust me he assumed i was too weak to fight him off probably thought he had his next
27:00victim and what a coup a cop
27:07is that brian montgomery's laptop yeah i i'm on it um did you find anything
27:12not yet but i'm working on it the thing is encrypted
27:15um patty i see all you do here and i want us to help each other so if you find anything anything
27:25at all that seems off come to me you mean with the case or i think you'll know
27:37this was the murder weapon used in the original abstract killer's murders
27:41and this was the knife you tried to dump in the harbor we're having this knife tested and
27:48we're willing to bet that it was used in brian montgomery's murder
27:56where's your husband at one because last night he tried to set claude and chantelle's house on fire
28:02with chantelle inside i i don't know where antoine is the knife claude broke into our house the night
28:10before he might have put it there to frame antoine people have suspected your husband was a killer for
28:18years is it possible that you worked together what why it's not inconceivable that you and your husband
28:28killed brian as a teen listen to me antoine he's been hunted with all of this for 15 years
28:39and brian
28:43pauline
28:46what was it you were about to say i didn't want to say
28:49it doesn't look good finish that sentence pauline
28:55antoine
28:58brian was at our house today he died
29:02he and antoine they they talked for a long time
29:07and when brian left antoine he seemed lighter he was happy even got us pizza to celebrate
29:15what did brian montgomery say to your husband
29:20i don't know but whatever it was it seemed like good news
29:24we need you outside now
29:30don't come near me stay back
29:32antoine
29:34i'll do it
29:34i didn't kill anyone this isn't the best approach to convince us of that
29:46i've had enough
29:48no one listens let's just say that you didn't kill anyone all right
29:51i didn't are you aware that you nearly killed chantelle when you firebombed her house
29:55what no that that's a lie you put chantelle in the hospital no i checked before none of the cars were
30:02there her car is in the impound she was home what happens if you go through with this who are you
30:09gonna hurt then huh what happens to your wife what happens to pauline we know brian montgomery
30:14went to your house the day that he was murdered what did he say to you what do you know about that
30:19pauline told us she hadn't seen your smile in years brian came by to apologize for everything
30:25that i've been through he had evidence that proved that i wasn't serial killer what evidence
30:31he was gonna tell everyone but before he could tell you or or the media
30:38he was murdered we're gonna look into whatever brian had okay whatever he was gonna tell you
30:42we're gonna look into it trust me but right now what you're doing it's not gonna help you
30:46it's not gonna help pauline give me the letter al
30:50we looked into antoine's alibi pauline said the night of the murder he went out to get pizza
31:01alone did anyone at the pizza place see him no it was a busy night but i found this
31:06there's an atm and antoine took out 20 euros 807 brian's time of death is clocked between 8 and 9 pm and his
31:14order took over half an hour so right in that time window yeah i know that place they are so
31:19slow so antoine's off the table what about the knife it's an exact replica of the abstract killer's
31:27murder weapon uncovered 15 years ago but it's new and it's a unique brand can you track the sale yeah
31:35i'll check with the manufacturer to see if any were shipped to saint pierre in the last five months i
31:39have goodness bish brian montgomery was staged to look like an abstract killer victim to look like
31:46what do you mean cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head he had multiple wounds on his
31:53face and a massive contusion in the back of his skull so none of this seemed particularly odd at first
31:59glance as the rest of his body was mutilated and what about the other hallmarks associated with the
32:04abstract killer the organ removal done post-mortem and as i predicted not as skillfully as the previous
32:11victims mcconnell used the knife to kill his victims straight to the abdomen correct so this was a copycat
32:17killer looks like it yeah but who is the copycat if antoine and pauline are telling the truth if brian
32:26did have evidence clearing antoine of suspicion of the abstract killing there are two people who might not
32:31appreciate that what about the bruising on montgomery's back what did you make of it they happen the same
32:38time as death but as to what caused it i'm still not sure i think i know
32:50what's going on secure and search this area john jackman you're coming with us
33:08you're a lit major you were one right just odd most french literature majors would choose i don't
33:23know moliere or even marivaux yet the scholarship you gave up you specialized in a certain 16th century
33:31english playwright your house had a very impressive collection of shakespeare and i love this play
33:39macbeth macbeth was a warrior like a killer really but when he had to murder someone a friend someone
33:45he knew in cold blood he was so overwhelmed with remorse that he went mad you're the shakespeare expert
33:57is that what this message was all about the killer's remorse
34:04okay let's talk about chantelle leave chantelle out of this we know chantelle bought this knife
34:10chantelle bought this knife because that's the knife the abstract killer used she was just trying to put
34:14together the pieces of the cases again pieces that you all missed right okay but we also know that
34:20this was a knife that was used to mutilate brian montgomery's body but it's not what killed him we haven't
34:27found the first murder weapon the one used to hit brian in the back of the head we know we fell
34:31on this bed of rocks that's at your house you're in chantelle's house now which one of you killed brian
34:38was it you or was it chantelle chantelle never killed anybody all she ever wanted was justice for
34:45elaine for what happened to her sister she wanted to bring the real killer to justice you've always
34:50maintained that you believe antoine is the real abstract killer because he is did brian montgomery agree
34:59brian he had evidence that cleared antoine are you aware of that i'm gonna take that as a yes
35:09is that what caused the rift between you two brian believed antoine was innocent
35:15you guys know that the last time i saw that we had a fight we were just kids we were at a bar
35:24she was just dancing with this guy and i got jealous she wanted to have a little fun
35:31and i ruined it and then she left it that's the last time i saw her because of antoine
35:37to buy his new evidence it took away any chance you had a justice it made you angry the night of his
35:46death brian came to your house is that when he told you
35:57i don't remember
35:57brian wanted to give up
36:07he just wanted to move on with his life and he
36:10i don't care what evidence he thought he had he was just trying to stop chasing ghosts
36:18this rage inside me i've had it all these years claude what did you do
36:24this is in my house i took his body there
36:43i thought that maybe my only way out of this was to stage his body like one of the abstract killers
36:48murders
36:49maybe that would get your attention maybe that would get you to focus on antoine he is the real
36:56killer claude
37:00you may not be your serial killer
37:03but you're definitely a murderer
37:08i can't forgive myself for what i did to brian
37:12i will never unsee that but you mark my words the real abstract killer is still alive
37:18he will kill again just wait and see
37:29before you go we still have some business to attend to
37:32might as well come with me i'm sure you've had time to coordinate your stories
37:35please
37:42gallagher no
37:54march
37:58zola augustine was trying to kill gallagher
38:00she blamed him for the death of her son and her husband
38:06fits you shot gallagher i saw him turn his gun toward arch
38:12i was in zola's direct line of fire and under oath you swore
38:18zola augustine bled out before paramedics could intervene
38:22it's quite a story it's not a story it's exactly what happened and is this what sean gallagher will say
38:30you can ask him if he pulled us through
38:35we good
38:44i didn't know you could cook fix no that's what you have to say after you eat
39:00what do you think of what claude had to say what that the abstract killer's still out there
39:05so weird that we even had a serial killer in saint pierre
39:08it feels off i know what you mean you know what else feels off i finally broke into brian's laptop
39:14and there's nothing special on it at all no hidden files like why bother encrypted
