Another is money.

as well to see if anyone else knew he was back.
He kind of isolated himself from them.
But Édouard Croteau

Milo worked for me.
-Édouard, you had Milo charged with theft under 2,000.
It’s a bit extreme to go to trial for that amount.
ÉDOUARD: Milo stole a lot more from me,
but I only reported the 2 grand
to ensure he received the least possible sentence.
-Sorry, you’re gonna have to explain that to us.
-I didn’t want to ruin the boy’s life.
Milo and Natasha.
I was friends with their parents,
so they were like family.
When I discovered he was stealing,
I warned him to stop.
-So you wanted to scare him straight?

I don’t know. He just lost his way.
I hoped a little jail time teach him a lesson,
turn his life around.
And not just for Milo, but for Natasha too.
Given everything she was going through.

stole all her savings. Eventually, she kicked him out.

-No, we think he came back to get the money
you stole from him.
-Well, even if he did, you saw the size of him.
You think I...
I bashed him over the head and dumped his body?
[laughs] Oh, God.
You’re so gullible.
Natasha told me all the details of Milo’s death.
-Yeah, you’re right. You couldn’t do it on your own.
-Exactly. And I forgot to tell you...
I have an alibi.
Yeah. I was with my friend Angie.
Oh, you met her at the hospital.
Can I go now?
-Not a chance.
ARCH: We need that alibi checked now.
-I heard the whole thing.
I’ll visit with Angie personally.
-If the alibi is legit,
we’re not gonna be able to hold her for long.
-She ruined Milo and Natasha’s lives.
Not to mention Sunil’s, and God knows who else.
-The report is back from the tests we ran on Sunil’s car.
The sand on the tires is limestone.
And the trunk is covered in Milo’s DNA.
-And I don’t know how, but I’m sure Jane
convinced Sunil to kill Milo.
-Well, you might be right,
but we’re gonna need some evidence.
-We’re just trying to understand why you did it.
Milo’s DNA, his blood,
it’s all over the trunk of your car.
Is there an explanation other than you killed him?
ARCH: Unless...
-Unless what?
-We’re not here to judge.
We know you were having an affair.
-We have the rental agreement for the storage unit
you set up for Jane.
That’s very generous of you.
FITZ: The generosity just kept coming, didn’t it?
You sent her all those payments, all that money, the emails.
-I love Jane.
With my debts, I didn’t have anything left.
I couldn’t give her what she wanted, she needed.
But I have a pretty good life insurance policy,
so I named her as the beneficiary, and...
so, that’s why I... tried to...
-There’s no need to feel shame. Jane is a pro.
You’re not the first person she conned.
We’re connecting her to a number of people
she’s defrauded all over Europe.
-Not Jane.
No.
No, you’re mistaken.
This is no con.
Jane loves me.
-Right, right.
How does Milo fit into all of this?
-Jane wanted Milo out of the picture.
She murdered him and asked you to help her move the body?
-Jane didn’t have to tell me to deal with Milo.
Okay? And then...
he tried to come into my stables
and tried to intimidate me,
tried to tell me that Jane had to pay.
So I did what had to be done.
-So, you killed Milo...
and Jane knew nothing about it?
-I wasn’t gonna tell her that I dealt with Milo.
I didn’t want to scare her away.
Jane is kind.
She’s wonderful. She...
And now because of him,
I’m never gonna be able to see her again.

ARCH: Am I tunnel visioning here?
Jane for sure manipulated Sunil into murdering Milo, right?
-You might think that, I might think that,
but right now, we’ve got no evidence
linking Jane to Milo’s murder.
-She’s just playing with us all, like a cat with a mouse.
-Jane’s alibi checked out. We confirmed that with Angie.
I’ve got Renuf tailing her for the time being.
She’s made no attempt to leave the island,
go to the ferry, the airport.
-Yeah, I thought she would immediately try to leave town.
Why hasn’t she left?
We’re closing in and she’s still here.
-She’s not done.
So, what else she want?
-Milo didn’t come back to Saint-Pierre
because he was jilted.
He came back because he was onto something she was up to.
-What else was Milo digging into?
-The horses.
ARCH: You recently fit Sunil’s horse, Abalone,
with new shoes?
-I did.
-Could we look at the file, see the specifics?
-I’m not sure I want to share that information.
There could be vet reports, private medical information.
-It’s for a horse.
-And this is a murder investigation.
-The shoe was for a ligament injury,
not a defect.
ÉDOUARD: Correct.
-Milo wasn’t circling Abalone for a bet.
He was zeroing in on Jane’s next scam.
-What scam?
-Abalone is the favourite to win today.
Sunil didn’t disclose his horse’s injury.
-Which means Jane and Sunil have fixed the Prix.

-Well, I’ve got a plane to catch.
-No, you cannot just let her leave.
No!
Okay, okay.
It was Jane’s plan.
-What was?
-We rigged the race.
I paid the jockey to hold back Beaches
so that we could split the winnings both ways.
But when I asked for my cut, she refused to hand it over.
Now, can you arrest her?
FITZ: Do you have any evidence?
Any text messages, emails,
proving this conversation happened between you both?
[scoffs]
[chuckles] No.
She insisted on no paper trail and asked that I front the cash,
so I paid the jockey.
I’m an idiot.
