Why are you doing this to me?
I'm not.
Torres: Robert Quillen died of exposure.
Delorme: Then she could be the target.
She has enemies.
Sheila: Please, let me have Robert back.
Taj Roy: If the cops start asking you about your past,
I'm not part of it.
I was offered a job in the city.
Dyson: How does your partner feel about it?
Hey.
Delorme: It's good to see you, Josh.
You still working with your dad?
Yeah, you'd think he'd cut me some slack with the baby.
Same old Ken.
Neil: I think the battery's dead.
Oh!
Cardinal: 76 years old.
We know what he has in store for her.

You didn't do anything wrong.
Cardinal: 38 below tonight with the windchill.
He could be taking her anywhere.

She's 90 pounds, 76 years old,
been out here all night.
When my Katie died,

Sat beside it the entire time and never felt warm.
Was that way a long time.
Hello, Ms. Pine.

Cardinal: Barry, have you checked your email recently?
No.
Would you let us have your password?
Can I ask why?
Sheila Gagne received an email from the killer.
What kind of an email?
It's not anything you'd care to see,
but it might help us to find who's doing this.
What if we can't find him?
What if he keeps doing this?
Barry?
Do you have any reason to believe he'll keep doing this?
No. I-

No, no you don't.

I'm so sorry, Barry.
I'm sorry, too.
About Robert.
I wanted to call, but-
Now what have the police told you?
That my mom got left outside in the cold.
Did you tell them we know each other?
Just that we went to school together.
You know why this is happening.
It has nothing to do with that,
not after all this time.
It's not a coincidence.
I shoulda said something back then.
But I was too scared.
There is more to it than you know.
[soft ominous music]
What does that mean?
It's not like it said in the paper.
I found out what they did after.
I don't understand. If-
If the others did something,
why punish us for it?
Because we did nothing, we said nothing.
We let it happen.
I think about it every day.
No, listen, you are upset.
You're feeling guilty, but your mind is spiralling.
Barry, this is not your fault or mine.
We need to talk about this.
Somewhere where we can't be seen together.
Okay, okay.
Listen, okay.
But until we do, you just-you just stay away from the others.
We deserve this.
But Robert didn't.
Mom didn't.
She was all I had.
Delorme: Both victims left in the elements to freeze to death,
then the videos are sent to family members.
It's planned out, professional.
But the lengths he goes to to make people suffer,
doesn't quite fit with that.
Where are we with ViCLAS on the killer's exposure M.O.?
Kular?
No hits but I'll broaden the search terms.
Delorme: McLeod, check court cases, newspaper articles,
anything to link Robert to Adele,
or anything else on Barry and Sheila.
Anything on these feathers he leaves behind?
I took them to an ornithologist.
They're from a Peregrine Falcon.
Native to the region.
They used to be endangered, but not anymore.
So, what do we think that means?
Cardinal: It's a bird of prey, a hunter.
Maybe that's how he sees himself.
Wade Kleiss doesn't quite fit with the others.
Maybe that makes him our best chance at a lead.
Kular: I cross-referenced people Robert Quillen put away
as a prosecutor and people Kleiss went to prison with.
Eight men are on both those lists.
Let's start there.

Wanna go over it?
Yeah, come in.
I brought some-

Ah.
Delorme: One of Wade's cellmates said he knew people.
Implying, the kind of people that kill for money.
If we think this is a professional,
he's probably not from around here.
Wade was born and raised in the area,
so he'd know the town, the land around it.
If someone local wanted Robert and Adele dead,
maybe they went to Wade and he connected them
with someone from outta town to do the job.
Might even have found the kill sites
and the stolen snowmobile.

I just wanted to let you know,
Barry LeBlanc died last night.
Was he-
Of course you,
you can't tell me.
He was here yesterday.
Did you happen to speak with him?
Briefly.
He was in so much pain over what happened to his mother.
Father, do you-
Do you think that Barry was capable
of taking his own life?
I've given up guessing what people might be capable of.
But Barry had his struggles.
Addictions, depression.
Spoke of suicidal thoughts in the past.
I think he carried a great deal of guilt.
Guilt over what?
I don't know, it's just-
Something you sense in my line of work.
I guess we have that in common.

shortly after Barry.
Delorme: I went through Sheila and Barry's work records
going as far back as I could,
and they both worked for a company called
Watershed Forestry
from 1998 to 1999.
Well, Robert was found near a clear cut.
I suppose they could be a coincidence, but-
Neither one of them mentioned this.
That's not a coincidence.
Sheila: Last year alone,
Algonquin Bay Police received
over 1500 domestic violence calls,
and those are just the women who called.
Trillium Haven will provide victims and their children
with safe, secure housing,
along with support services-
to help them heal.
Thank you for your generous donations.
Together we can offer victims of domestic violence
hope for a new beginning.

worked together at Watershed Forestry?
To be honest, I forgot about that.
Hm.
Barry's so quiet.
He never made much of an impression, even in school.
Cardinal: But you went to meet him at the church.
The mother of one of my constituents
was brutally murdered.
I would've gone to see him even if the same thing
hadn't happened to my husband.
It's part of my job, detectives.
What was your job at Watershed?
Payroll.
And accounting and bookkeeping.
And what about Barry LeBlanc?
I was in the office, he was in the field.
You'll have to ask him.
Barry's dead.
We found him this morning,
frozen to death in his backyard.
Like Robert.
That poor man.
His mother.
My husband.
The man you had in custody.
How many more until you can stop this?
Sheila, did you see Barry after the church?
No.
You didn't visit his house, have a drink with him?
No, I told you I was just trying to help.
I barely knew him.
Delorme: Yet you went to school with him.
You worked with him.
You sat in church with him.
Cardinal: We think somebody out there hired a professional
to murder Robert and Adele.
But it's possible they weren't the real targets,
that you and Barry were.
The videos.
Someone wanted you and Barry to see them.
Why would someone wanna hurt you two so badly?
I would like the answer to that question
as much as you would.
The feather we found in Robert's hotel room,
one was left when Adele was taken as well.
It's from a Peregrine Falcon.
Does that mean anything to you, Ms. Gagne?

A falcon is a sacred bird.
But I-
Robert, Adele, Barry,
I don't know if it would mean anything to them.
