The Grey Wolf

Armand goes to the Sûreté and thinks about the threat to the water supply while rinsing off his face in the bathroom. He wants to warn his coworkers and doubts his decision not to tell them. An agent updates him about Parisi, who went to New York before Quebec. Parisi’s parents deny that he was involved in Charles’s murder. After the agent leaves, Armand calls the head of Italy’s anti-Mafia task force, who repeats the lie that Parisi didn’t kill Charles. Armand goes about his day, pretending that nothing is wrong, advising agents and hearing other updates about the two murders that he thinks connect to the Mafia. When he’s alone, he looks at the recipe again and wonders what Jeanne is scheming.

Meanwhile, Isabelle, Claude, and Irene land near Grande Chartreuse. Irene admits that Robert is in the monastery, being helpful for the first time.

Jean-Guy and Armand meet at the airport before Armand’s flight. Jean-Guy shows Armand a video of the clergy members singing on YouTube. Armand orders Jean-Guy to look for where Parisi and the woman who signaled the SUV were before the murder, starting at The Mission.

As they walk toward the monastery, Isabelle realizes that Robert wrote to Irene, that she wrote to Sebastien, and that Sebastien then wrote to Dom Philippe. Irene eventually admits that Robert only vaguely told her that something evil was being planned and that he heard about it in confession when he was filling in for a priest. Irene hoped that Sebastien could get Robert to share details about the plan, but Robert left before Sebastien arrived in Rome. Robert spoke to Philippe about the plan he heard, but Philippe wouldn’t tell the others what Robert said. When Isabelle, Claude, and Irene reach the monastery’s gate, Sebastien opens it.

Meanwhile, Armand arrives in Blanc-Sablon and checks his messages. The minimal information that the Italian police sent him about Parisi is useless. Valerie Michaud, the head of the local police, meets Armand, and they reminisce about when they met years earlier. He asks her to take him to the Rousseau family’s property. Philippe (Yves) has only one living brother, Raymond, and he’s still in town. Valerie realizes that she hasn’t seen Raymond recently.

Claudine, the director of The Mission, doesn’t recognize the first picture of Parisi that Jean-Guy shows her. However, she does recognize Parisi when Jean-Guy shows her the picture of Parisi’s corpse. He went by the name Guido and spent time with a man they called “Big Stink” because he smelled like mothballs. When Claudine shows Jean-Guy security footage of Big Stink, he realizes that it’s Philippe.

On the way to the Rousseau family home, Armand buys some groceries for them. He won’t take the gun that Valerie offers when they approach the house.

Inside the monastery, Irene tells Sebastien that they want to help. Isabelle introduces herself and Claude, saying that they’re friends of Armand, whom Sebastien knows. Sebastien tells Irene that Robert didn’t reveal everything to Philippe because he fears the man.

In the Rousseau family house, Raymond points a gun at the law enforcement officials through a curtain. Armand tells him that he knows Yves and is unarmed. Raymond comes outside with the gun pointed at the ground. Valerie says that she needs to talk to him, and he lets them inside.

Meanwhile, Jean-Guy sees Philippe on The Mission’s security footage with Jeanne and Charles.

In Blanc-Sablon, Raymond’s wife, Miriam, starts cooking, using the groceries. She says that they were afraid to leave their house, as Armand suspected. Raymond says that Yves came to visit about a month ago and warned them that killers might come to the house. He hadn’t been to the house in 40 years and asked to use Raymond’s driver license, passport, and money. The couple gave Yves their credit card, some cash, and clothes. Yves got round-trip tickets to Grenoble but hasn’t returned yet.

Jean-Guy calls Armand and informs him about the footage of Phillipe (Yves) in The Mission with Parisi and Jeanne. Raymond says that Jeanne is Yves’s niece and confirms that she’s in the picture with her mother and Yves that Armand saw.

In Grande Chartreuse, Robert refuses to see Isabelle. A monk takes her search warrant inside the main building.

Armand returns to Montreal, and Jean-Guy meets him at the airport. Jean-Guy updates Armand about Isabelle finding Sebastien and Robert not trusting Philippe based on a vague feeling. Armand has likewise begun to doubt Philippe.

At the French monastery, the abbot refuses to honor the warrant. Isabelle asks if the abbot can just bring Robert to them for an interview, and the abbot sends off some monks to find him.

During the drive from Montreal, Armand and Jean-Guy talk about the connections between clergy and politicians. Raymond told Armand that Yves and Jeanne have been at odds since her mother died. Armand believes that Jeanne is the black wolf: the person who led Yves into the evil plan. Yves seemingly obtained the recipe from Robert and gave it to Jeanne, but Armand has his doubts about this. Armand hopes that Yves is only pretending to go along with the evil plan in order to thwart it. Internally, Armand mulls over Charles’s last word, “family,” and wonders about the potential Mafia connection. He asks Jean-Guy to go to Ottawa.

After trying to contact David Lavigne at the RCMP but receiving no reply, Armand gives handwritten, untraceable instructions to Jean-Guy and asks to borrow his gun. They split up, and Armand goes to Jeanne’s building. The Mountie on duty there, Sargent Gauthier, claims to remember Armand from the funeral of the Sûreté agents, one of whom was his sister.

Meanwhile, Jean-Guy calls people on Armand’s list, including the premier of Quebec and the head of public works, inviting them to a conference call during which Armand will reveal the plan to poison the water supply. Jean-Guy hears sirens and swears as the mayor of Montreal answers.

In Grande Chartreuse, the monks report back to the abbot in front of Isabelle, saying that Robert isn’t in his room and might be preparing the recipe. Isabelle shows the abbot the recipe and asks if Robert is one of its two keepers. He is, the abbot confirms, and tells the monks to find Robert.

Armand discovers that Jeanne isn’t in her office after pushing past her assistant, Frederick Castongay. Fredrick says that Jeanne left about an hour ago with an older man, whom Armand thinks is Philippe. Armand asks to see the deputy prime minister, but he’s in Washington. Armand and Gauthier insist that Frederick go with them, and Gauthier takes Frederick’s gun. When Armand asks why Gauthier is helping him, Gauthier says that he was ordered to by David Lavigne, which leads Armand to assume that David is on the right side.

In France, Isabelle and Dussault hear a commotion in the monastery and go to investigate. They climb to the top of a turret and find the abbot with two monks, looking down. Robert’s corpse is on the ground below. Isabelle texts Armand an update about this development.

Armand and his two companions meet up with Jean-Guy. The media is there, taking pictures of the group. When they get in the car, Armand gives Jean-Guy his gun back and orders him to drive to Quebec after introducing the others.

Armand tells Frederick and Gauthier that Jeanne is involved in a plan to poison the drinking water. Frederick says that Jeanne comes back to the office when everyone else is gone to pull classified files. Jean-Guy thinks she’s removing any documents that incriminate the deputy prime minister. Armand orders Jean-Guy to drive to The Mission. Frederick remembers that the man whom Jeanne went with mentioned a sanctuary. Armand asserts that Lauzon is trying to start a coup to take over as prime minister after the attack on the drinking water.

At The Mission, Jean-Guy and Armand talk to Claudine. She reluctantly admits that Big Stink isn’t there. Armand thinks that Jeanne and Philippe might be hiding in Three Pines. Back in the car, Armand sees Gauthier texting someone. Jean-Guy wonders if Jeanne and Philippe are going to Three Pines to frame Armand, and they start driving there. Armand thinks that Jeanne is hiding incriminating files about Lauzon in Three Pines. Then, Armand gets an email saying that one of the unsolved murders that appear to be mob hits was of Robert’s aunt, and he realizes that this murder was why Robert went into hiding. Armand tries to call Isabelle but can’t get through. When the group arrives at St. Thomas’s chapel, Armand has Frederick stay in the car. As they walk into the chapel, Armand receives Isabelle’s text saying that Robert is dead.

Jean-Guy has Gauthier cover the back door to the chapel while he and Armand enter through the front.

In France, Claude investigates Robert’s corpse, surmising that the monk was pushed off the turret after having a secret meeting there.

Inside the chapel, Jeanne is friendly as she greets Armand. Jean-Guy steps in between them. Yves (Dom Philippe) is also there. Armand says that Yves and Jeanne are under arrest. Yves claims that Jeanne is trying to stop the attack, and she says that she called Armand to warn him about the plan to poison the water. Armand asks Jean-Guy for his gun and puts it to Jeanne’s head, demanding to know the truth. She says she knows that one of the water-treatment plants will be hit but doesn’t know which one. Gauthier comes inside from the other side.

After further questioning, Jeanne admits that she hired Charles to investigate the water-treatment plants for her. Philippe admits that his boss ordered him to go to Grande Chartreuse, where Robert told him only that there would be an attack, not any specifics about it; made him swear not to tell Irene or Sebastien; and gave him the chartreuse recipe. Philippe also admits that he left the clues for Armand to find. Armand wonders why Robert asked for secrecy from his friends.

Meanwhile, Isabelle looks at Robert’s corpse, wondering if he died by suicide or murder and who led him up to the turret.

As Armand continues to interview Jeanne at gunpoint, she reveals that she has a bag of papers that contain evidence about which water-treatment plant is the target. She knew that Armand couldn’t be corrupt, so she went to him, despite their past, to tell him about Lauzon’s plan. She also confirms that Lauzon met with a Mafia leader, Joseph Moretti, and that the papers she stole might contain evidence of this meeting. Jeanne adds that she helped with the early stages of the plan that had to do with allowing pollution and selling resources but that she got out when she learned about the attack on drinking water. Armand gives the gun back to Jean-Guy.

Philippe (Yves) says that he didn’t know who Parisi was when they spent time together in The Mission. Armand thinks that Jeanne might be manipulating Philippe and Charles. Philippe insists that he’s the one who learned about the plan from Robert and told Jeanne about it. They reconnected after their long period of not talking when Philippe shared this, and then Jeanne hired Charles after meeting him at The Mission. Jeanne has no connection to AQB but got Charles a job at a couple treatment plants to investigate them. Charles didn’t find anything incriminating in the first plant, but Jeanne thinks he was killed because he found something at the second plant: the Charles-J.-Des Baillets plant. Jeanne believes that they’ll use botulinum. Armand sees a gun shine just before it’s fired.

In France, Isabelle and Claude discuss how Robert died shortly before they found his body. The other monk who has the recipe, Constantine, is missing. Sebastien shows Isabelle to Robert’s room. It was searched and wrecked. Constantine isn’t in his room. Sebastien shows them to the room where chartreuse is made.
