Cardinal: He had to know somebody would be out of here soon.
He wants them to be found.
Delorme: Same winter clothes as Robert Quillen.
So there should be another video.
Adele: [Crying] I love you, Barry.
You know why this is happening.
Why punish us for it?
Barry: Because we did nothing,
we said nothing.
We let it happen.
You remember I spoke to my old colleague in Toronto?
You got the job? -Mhm.
Ever miss this city?
Anyway, that was another life.
Delorme: And you can start a new one.
Cardinal: We think somebody hired a professional,
but it's possible they weren't the real targets.
Why would someone want to hurt you two so badly?
Scott: Those people and what they did to this place,
to me and to her,
I need them to see me.
I need them to know.
Barry: You're a part of what happened.
You know you were.
Taj: I'm about to lose everything
because of this crap that Ken got us mixed up in.
I'm on my way to you.
I want you to pack a bag and get ready to move.
[loud thudding]
[groaning]
Where's my son?
He's where you put him.
Help!
Have you found my father?
[thudding] [screaming]
He's dead.
I thought you were good at this,
you and your partner.
Kelly: You said that you wanted to retire,
but you keep doing this job that grinds you down
and it makes you shut everyone out.
Why can't you just stop?
You can't just let Lise walk out of your life.
Cardinal: I don't want you to leave.
Kular: Rebecca Bailey, masters student,
raped and murdered in the area.
And this is the guy convicted for it.
Scott Riley, alpha type,
loved to hunt.
He had some sort of an environmental awakening.
Delorme: The salvage yard,
the clearcut,
the quarry.
And the forest.
His next victim.
So he's convicted, loses everything.
The woman he loves, 20 years of his life.
Dyson: 20 years to plan his revenge.
Sheila Gagne,
Ken McNider,
Barry LeBlanc.
He wants them to pay for Rebecca's death.
So who's the fourth?
-Whoa.If I go to my friend at the OPD-
He will make sure that we get fair treatment.
Taj: Stop, stop, stop.
[suspenseful music]
We found these in Neil Cuthbert's cabin.
The parka's a youth, size medium.
Cardinal: Taj Roy has a daughter.
Delorme: And she'd fit that parka.
Taj: Mena!
I've got Sheila Gagne in a truck in the other room.
Scott: I'm finished with her.
I'm finished with Barry and with Ken.
There's only you left.
[suspenseful music]
Commanda: Sheila Gagne,
you're under arrest.
Drop the gun!

♪ Took a walk to the summit at night,

No need to wait for my lawyer.
I want to help.
Okay.
We know you tipped off Ken McNider
about logging rights in the Aagimaak Forest
in return for him cutting you in on the profits.
Is that right?
Yeah.
You knew Barry LeBlanc?
Did you also know Taj Roy at the time?
We met Taj after.
Ken said we needed someone to look after
roads and transport.
Cardinal: When the four of you encountered Scott Riley
and Rebecca Bailey in the forest,
what were you doing?
Sheila: Ken was shooting the falcons.
We couldn't log with them nesting there.
I didn't want any part of that.
I refused.
Delorme: But you were there?
Ken told me if I didn't show up that day,
he would cut me out of the deal.
It was my deal.
He thought it would prove we could trust each other
if we all took part in it.
Cardinal: And so when you were done,
you were leaving the forest
and that's when you were confronted by Scott.
I saw Scott coming and she was following behind.
Ken told me to get the dead birds out of there
so they wouldn't see them, and I did.
Delorme: So who hit Rebecca Bailey?
Sheila: Taj told me yesterday that Ken did.
He was trying to hit Scott.
Cardinal: And Taj Roy took the snowmobile keys,
stranding them.
He just said that he made it so they couldn't leave.
Delorme: You're telling us that you didn't know that at the time?
Sheila: Well, I saw later that Scott was arrested
for Rebecca's murder.
He-he did leave her.
[muffled screaming] [loud thudding]
Sheila: I said nothing.
[thudding] [muffled screaming]
Sheila: I was ashamed that I was any part of any of it.
I never even told Robert what we did that day.
Your husband was murdered, Sheila.
Adele LeBlanc was murdered and you still said nothing.
I didn't know until after Adele.
I tried to warn the others.
I tried to make up for that day with every good thing
that I've done since then.
[sighs]
And Scott Riley wasn't worth throwing it all away.
A young man's entire life was thrown away
and people have died.
And for what?
For you.
Do you have any idea where Scott might take Taj and Mena?
If I did, I would tell you.
Can you show us on the map
roughly where everything happened
the day Rebecca Bailey died?
Yeah, I'll do whatever I can.
I'll get a map.
I stood up for you, Sheila.
If you only told me.
But now all these people are dead.
Jerry, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
[suspenseful music]

Taj: [muffled] Mena!
[muffled pleading]
Taj: [muffled] Get off me!
Something I need to know.
Taj: [muffled] You're gonna listen to me!
No, you listen!
Or it gets worse for your daughter.
Do you understand?
Nod if you understand, please.
[groans]
You knew this was coming, right?
But still,
you hid behind the lie,
even though you knew it could end your daughter's life.
What does that make you?
I'm not the one that did this to you.
No?
No.
Ken, he said he was gonna send someone back for you two.
I didn't know you two were still out there
until it was too late.
You didn't know? - No.
I tossed your keys in the bush to delay you,
that's all.
You guys got lost.
Nobody could've walked out of here alive hurt like her,
and you know that!
You know that!
I'm sorry! -You're sorry?
Ken is dead.
You're all that's left now.
You have to know you're not getting out of this alive.
I can smuggle you in one of my trucks,
get you somewhere safe,
give you enough money to last you the rest of your life.
Any other way, you end up dead or back in jail.
I know you don't want to do this.
That's the most truthful thing that you've said.
Then it should be me.
Just me.
Let Mena go.
You can tie me up like you did the others,
I don't care.
My life for hers.
When it's all over, Taj,
I intend to let what's left of you walk away from this place.
But your daughter's life ends today.
No, don't!
Goddamn you!
No, you can't!
Cut me free!
Hey?!
Come on!
You and me!
You want to hurt me?!
Then hurt me!
[soft whimpering]
Delorme: Robert Quillen was found near a clearcut,
Adele LeBlanc, the auto salvage yard,
Ken McNider, his old sawmill,
and Josh,
at the Mead Lake Quarry.
Sheila said in the '90s,
most of the Aagimaak area was undeveloped.
It's been divided up since,
but every site that Scott has chosen is within this region.
We think this is where he's taken Taj and Mena
because it's so meaningful to him.
It's where all of this started 20-odd years ago.
This is where Rebecca Bailey's body was found.
The area around, it's still mostly forest.
That's gotta be the most significant place for him.
Yeah, it's just off the 19th line.
We have the coordinates from the old case file.
Yeah, but he's gotta know we have those.
Just saying, he may choose another spot.
Any other ideas?
[dramatic music]
Then let's hope they're out there.

Scott: You should know,
your father and his friends,
I lost someone because of what they did.
They let people believe that I did terrible things to her.
