- Inspector Fitzpatrick?
- Fitz, please.

I'm Marcus Villeneuve,
and this is my deputy chief.

Arch.

Welcome.

We both know you're just laying low

till the crap you started blows over.

I don't know if you realize this or not,

but I'm on your side.

You can talk to me.

FITZ: Gallagher was in deep
with weapons smugglers.

I've got him, Fitz!

This is my youngest, Rowan.

FITZ: You believe that Rowan
is behind your son's death?

ARCH: Zola Augustin was adamant
that we look into Gallagher.

LISETTE: You need to drop
this investigation.

Sean Gallagher is your father.

ARCH: My mom's lies...

I'm on this damn island because of them.

Stop! Gallagher, let Marcus go.

There is more to live for, Sean.

Please!

DIARD: Deputy 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?

Why wouldn't we stand
by our sworn statement?

I know her pretty well.
I'd take that as a yes.

One 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 in play.

There's no reason
why we'd withhold information.

In my role as Prefect,
my directive from Interpol

and Paris HQ is to make sure of that.

So, let's start at the beginning.

[cell phones ringing and buzzing]

FITZ: Sorry, Prefect, but...

they've discovered a body.

Well, I guess this round of
questioning will have to wait.

DIARD: I want updates, Archambault,

on all ongoing cases going forward.

Until we figure out your and the
inspector's future at the SPMP.

_

FITZ: Until she figures out
our futures at the SPMP?

Is it just me,
or does Diard seem to think

that she's our boss now?

Mm, for the time being, she is.

Le préfet is the president's
eyes and ears in Saint-Pierre.

And, lucky for us...

policing is part of her portfolio.

But she's not a cop.

No, worse.

- A former cop.
- Ah.

She used to run the SPMP,
so of course she thinks

she knows how we should
do our jobs better than we do.

Brutal.

How do you feel about
having to talk to her

about the whole, y'know,
graveyard, the sh**t-out?

Stop!

- Gallagher, no!
- [g*nshots]

No feelings.

We just need to tell her the truth.

Okay.

Behold, the old fish plant.

Very bleak.

PATTY: The building
was abandoned in the 80s.

It's scheduled to be demolished.

The construction workers
were starting their day

RENUF: Yeah, no cameras
inside or outside,

no CCTV near by. It's a dead zone.

Any luck ID'ing the body?

PATTY: We're working on it.

"Gruesome" doesn't come close

PATTY: Most of his organs were removed.

They're over there.

Well, they weren't removed in here.

There's almost no blood anywhere
on the floor or walls.

Nothing.

ARCH: I want this room scrubbed

RENUF: Well, that will be hard, Arch.

Kids have been using this place

Oh, gross.

But... it's true.

I can't believe it.

Believe what?

Why am I getting the feeling

that you guys have seen
something like this before?

Because...

we have.

FITZ: Saint-Pierre has a serial k*ller?

Had.

The case was closed long ago.

It was before my time,

but the "Abstract k*ller" case is famous.

RENUF: Three original victims.

James Montgomery,

Hélène Bry,

Coleen Noel.

Our John Doe today was presented

in exactly the same way,

right down to the paint on the bodies.

FITZ: As if their bodies were a canvas.

RENUF: And like our John Doe,
all the victims were mutilated

and their internal organs removed.

The previous murders,

there were no messages left at the scene.

Not that I know of.

Who were the original suspects
of the Abstract killings?

Initially, Antoine Vigneau.

And then, in the end,
evidence led to this man:

Daniel McConnell.

Antoine, this guy,
he was at the scene today.

He was in an altercation.

With him.

RENUF: Claude Jackman.

He was married to Hélène.

The entire island is panicked.

Word is out that
the Abstract k*ller's back.

DIARD: They're wrong.

The Abstract k*ller was Daniel McConnell.

These cases were closed.

The Prefect would know.
She was lead on this case.

I was.

Oh...

So, how did you land
on McConnell as the m*rder*r?

The stack of evidence that led us to him.

Not to mention, McConnell confessed.

So, whoever k*lled your John Doe,

it isn't the Abstract k*ller.

Then I guess the first thing
we need to do

is go talk to this Daniel McConnell.

RENUF: Um, I...

he's... he's dead.

I shot him.

In self-defence.

Right before he tried
to put a fish knife in my gut.

Hm...

Be that as it may,
given the obvious similarities,

it would be idiotic not to look
and see if there's a link.

Well...

we wouldn't want to be idiotic.

PATTY: One of the contractors
on site ID'd our victim.

His name is Bryan Montgomery.

Montgomery?

As in James Montgomery?

Brothers.

ARCH: So, the Abstract k*ller's
first victim from 15 years ago,

and our new victim today...

are brothers?

Hell of a coincidence.

ARCH: Renuf, get down
to Bryan Montgomery's house

and seal it off.

We'll need forensics there as
soon as possible to sweep the place.

the night she died,

from a party, and...

I told the police all of this

It's been 15 years, for Christ's sake.

It's just that today,

NATASHA: The Abstract k*ller returns.

I lived here back then.

It was an ugly time.

No one wanted to leave their houses.

Kind of sickening to think
that he's still out there.

So you think this is his handiwork?

Well, after briefly looking at the file,

similar technique, although
the original had clean incisions.

What about Bryan here?

Well, at first glance,
the cuts show some hesitancy.

Noted. And time of death?

Pinpointed between 8:00 and 9:00 PM.

But, like in the Abstract k*ller murders,

the vic was sliced from stem to stern.

He was gutted.

With a long, thin blade.

Fish filleting kind of thing.

Not hard to find those around here.

Whoever did this
didn't do it at the scene.

They would have needed,
like, a k*lling floor,

somewhere remote where they
could control the variables, clean up.

NATASHA: Yeah, well, wherever that was,

it would have made a mess.

Um...

Look at this bruising.

So, I'm not sure
what could have caused it...

but it looks like he was pelted
with a bunch of sharp rocks.

Once I'm able to really dig in,

pardon the pun,

um, I'll have some answers.

Hm. Likin' the new suit, Fitz.

Oh...

- Okay, thank you.

his brother was.

You worked the Abstract k*ller case.

MARCUS: Mm-hm. Still haunts me.

Never seen such acts
of human depravity in my life.

And I hoped I'd never see it again.

Diard somehow thinks that
this m*rder is not connected.

ARCH: Yeah, I have to say, it feels a lot

like she just doesn't want us
digging around in her old case.

MARCUS: And Diard is such a micromanager.

Even if Bryan was m*rder*d
by the Abstract k*ller,

her ego would never let her admit
that she was wrong all those years ago.

What do you mean, wrong?

MARCUS: Nobody wanted to believe

that we had a serial k*ller on our hands.

The brass wanted to get things
cleared up as fast as possible.

You don't think Diard got the right guy?

Diard claimed she got a confession,

but nobody heard it but her.

And then she took him down.

The case launched her
to chief of the SPMP.

MARCUS: She was promoted in record time.

Opened doors for her career in Paris,
and now Prefect.

And then the killings stopped.

FITZ: What was your theory way back then?

Like everyone else, I liked
Antoine Vigneau for it, but...

..I was a lowly beat cop back then,

so Diard did everything in her power

to keep me away from the real action.

Anyway, you guys do what you gotta do.

Just don't get on Diard's bad side.

Trust me.

Boss, she's k*lling us.

When are you coming back?

Well, she's not too keen
on seeing me again,

judging by how fast she signed
those leave of absence papers.

The three of us could have died
back there in that graveyard.

Me in particular.

If you're trying to thank us

A crude paraphrase.

"Macbeth does m*rder sleep.
Macbeth shall sleep no more."

Clearly he is sending us a message.

The Abstract k*ller is awake.

Actually, for context,

Shakespeare's full text
is focused on Macbeth's guilt,

the Abstract k*ller feels remorse.

ARCH: Daniel McConnell.

The supposed Abstract k*ller.

Once Diard k*lled him,

Are you aware that's
one of the top professions

associated with serial K*llers?

I'm not.

Am I sensing that you didn't
think McConnell was guilty?

matched none of the known perpetrators.

What if he had another motivator?

You know, like anger, revenge,

or maybe just wanted some attention?

It's an urban myth that
serial K*llers want to be caught

or that they love publicity.

Whoever the Abstract k*ller is,

their motivation is genetic.

See, humans were hardwired
to recognize predators.

It's our "fight or flight" response,

our biological gift of fear.

Likewise, some are genetically
programmed for "moral evil."

The serial k*ller gene
is potentially in you.

didn't k*ll anyone, all right?

I didn't.

Are you aware that
you nearly k*lled Chantel

when you fire-bombed her house?

ANTOINE What? No, that... that's a lie!

You put Chantel in the hospital.

No. I checked before.

None of their cars were there.

Her car is in the impound.

- She was home.
- What?

FITZ: What happens if
you go through with this?

Who you gonna hurt then, huh?

What happens to your wife?
What happens to Pauline?

We know Bryan Montgomery
went to your house

the day that he was m*rder*d.
What did he say to you?

How do you know about that?

ARCH: Pauline told us she hadn't
seen you smile in years.

Bryan came by to apologize

for everything that I'd been through.

He had evidence that proved
that I wasn't the serial k*ller.

What evidence?

ANTOINE: He was gonna tell everyone,

but before he could tell you, or...

..or the media...

he was m*rder*d.

We're gonna look into
whatever Bryan had, okay?

Whatever he was gonna tell you,
we're gonna look into it, trust me.

But right now, what you're doing
is not gonna help you;

it's not gonna help Pauline.

Give me your lighter, pal.

Yeah, there we go.

BYSTANDER: Voilà.
BYSTANDER 2: Voilà, voilà.

Bravo!

PATTY: We looked into Antoine's alibi.

Pauline said the night of the m*rder,

he went to get pizza, alone.

Did anyone at the pizza place see him?

No, it was a busy night,
but I found this.

PATTY: There's an ATM,
and Antoine took out 20 Euros.



Bryan's time of death is clocked
between 8:00 and 9:00 PM.

PATTY: And his order
took over half an hour,

so right in that time window.

Yeah, I know that place.
They are so slow.

FITZ: So, Antoine's off the table.

What about the knife?

It's an exact replica

of the Abstract k*ller's m*rder weapon

uncovered 15 years ago.

But it's new, and it's a unique brand.

Can you track the sale?

Yeah, I'll check with the manufacturer

to see if any were
shipped to Saint-Pierre

in the last five months.

I have got good news.

Ish.

Bryan Montgomery was staged to look like

an Abstract k*ller victim.

"To look like"? What do you mean?

Cause of death was
blunt force trauma to the head.

He had multiple wounds on his face

and a massive contusion
on the back of his skull.

So, none of this seemed particularly odd

at first glance, as the rest of
the body was mutilated.

ARCH: And what about the other hallmarks

associated with the Abstract k*ller?

The organ removal?

Done post-mortem, and, as I predicted,

not as skillfully
as the previous victims.

McConnell used a knife
to k*ll his victims.

- Straight to the abdomen.
- Correct.

So this was a copycat k*ller.

FITZ: Looks like it.

Yeah, but who is the copycat?

If Antoine and Pauline
are telling the truth...

if Bryan did have evidence
clearing Antoine

of suspicion of the Abstract killings...

There are two people
who might not appreciate that.

What about the bruising
on Montgomery's back?

What did you make of it?

NATASHA: They happened
the same time as death.

But as to what caused it,
I'm still not sure.

CHANTEL: Claude...?

What's going on?

Secure and search this area.

RENUF: Claude Jackman...

You're coming with us.

You were a lit major.

You were one, right?

ARCH: It's just odd.

Most French literature majors
would choose,

I dunno, Molière, or even Marivaux.

Yet the scholarship you gave up,

you specialized in a certain 16th-century

English playwright.

FITZ: Your house had
a very impressive collection

of Shakespeare.

And I love this play. Macbeth.

Macbeth was a warrior,
like a k*ller, really.

But when he had to m*rder someone,

a friend, someone he knew,

in cold blood, he was...

so overwhelmed with remorse...

that he went mad.

ARCH: You're the Shakespeare expert.

Is that what this message was all about?

The k*ller's remorse?

Okay.

Let's talk about Chantel.

Leave Chantel out of this.

We know Chantel bought this knife.

Chantel bought this knife
because that's the knife

the Abstract k*ller used.

She was just trying
to put together the pieces

of the cases again,
pieces that you all missed.

Right, okay, but we also know
this was the knife

that was used to mutilate
Bryan Montgomery's body, but...

it's not what k*lled him.

ARCH: We haven't found
the first m*rder weapon,

the one used to hit Bryan
in the back of the head.

But we know he fell on this bed of rocks.

That's at your house.

Your and Chantel's house.

Now... which one of you k*lled Bryan?

Was it you, or was it Chantel?

Chantel never k*lled anybody.

All she ever wanted
was justice for Hélène,

for what happened to her sister.

She wanted to bring
the real k*ller to justice.

You've always maintained

that you believe Antoine
is the true Abstract k*ller.

Because he is!

Did Bryan Montgomery agree?

Bryan, he had evidence
that cleared Antoine.

Were you aware of that?

I'm gonna take that as a yes.

ARCH: Is that what caused
the rift between you two?

Bryan believed Antoine was innocent.

Do you guys know that the last
time I saw Hélène, we had a fight?

We were just kids. We were at a bar.

She was just dancing with
this guy and I got jealous.

She wanted to have a little fun...

and I ruined it.

And then she left, and that's
the last time I saw her,

because of Antoine.

So... Bryan's new evidence,

it took away
any chance you had at justice.

It made you angry.

The night of his death,
Bryan came to your house.

Is that when he told you?

I don't remember.

[inhales sharply]

Bryan wanted to give up.

He just wanted to move on with his life.

He...

I don't care what evidence
he thought he had.

He was just trying to...

stop chasing ghosts.

[sighs]

I have this rage inside me.

I've had it all these years.

There's a shed near my house.

I took his body there.

I thought that maybe
my only way out of this

was to stage his body

like one of
the Abstract k*ller's murders.

Maybe that would get your attention.

Maybe that would get you
to focus on Antoine.

He is the real k*ller.

Claude...

You may not be a serial k*ller,

but you're definitely a m*rder*r.

I can't forgive myself
for what I did to Bryan.

I will never un-see that.

But you mark my words,

the real Abstract k*ller is still alive,

and he will k*ll again.

You just wait and see.
