Cardinal

Previously on "Cardinal".

You embarrassed me in front of my students.

You wouldn't answer your phone.

I'm fine.

Lise Delorme.

Yeah she was investigating him,

thought he was dirty

when he was covering up for your phone call.

All he ever wanted was to protect you.

You better not be using again, Kev.

I'm not.

Anybody in the truck?

No, car's registered to Raymond Bedford.

Here he is.

Raymond Bedford.

Ray Northwind.

You know what? You keep it.

I'm out.

There is no out.

You work for my now,

alive or dead.

I want the redhead,

where is she?

In protective custody.

This was inspired by Palo Mayombe,

but that's not what this is.

What do you make of the missing body parts?

You put them in your iron pot,

you would need fresh blood to keep it working.

More sacrifices.

The most potent time would be at new moon.

Everyone out, now!

I didn't recognize her power before.

Bring her back to me.

I need her alive.

Piper.

I need to see the security footage.

It's inside.

Uh, the Chief said the fire was contained to the shed.

We're good to go back in.

Lise, inside.

I'll be right there.

They think the fire started in the crawl space.

That's him.

Leon Rutkowski.

Let's see that again. And slow it down.

We think he's the one who shot her.

Find anything?

Nothing to tell us where he took her.

Must have been watching the place,

and picked his moment.

Somebody told him she was here.

Yeah, who?

The only people who knew she was here

are the other women.

And our team.

We've got BOLOS out on

Terri and Kevin Tait,

Raymond Bedford,

and Leon Rutkowski.

He might be driving

an older model blue car.

How did Leon know what shelter to hit?

Look, if anyone in this room said anything to anybody,

now is the moment to speak up.

We're not going home until we find them.

Tomorrow is the new moon.

That's Bedford's favourite day

for ritual sacrifice.

Ray, I'm sorry.

I had only three rules.

I know.

When my mother tried to get clean.

She said it was like being ripped open.

Death would be a relief, wouldn't it?

Please.

It's only going to get worse.

Given you enough, Kevin.

Now you're going to give me

all your pain.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, thanks.

Yeah.

John.

Went back over the Toronto unsolveds.

Ran them against the name 'Raymond Bedford'.

I might have something. Take a look.

Aaron Osborne.

His torso was found in the Don River, 2016.

Missing head, hands, and feet.

Same as Dave Elhurst.

What's the connection to Bedford?

Both from Sudbury. So I checked.

They went to the same elementary school

in grades two to five.

Nice work.

Get me everything you can on Osborne

and anyone else who knew them both.

Already on it.

Bedford has a sealed juvenile record.

He attacked his foster parent-

She died of cancer two years ago.

I-I managed to track down his social worker.

Sandra Mason. She's on her way in.

You're on fire, McLeod.

Good.

They found your truck.

They know your real name.

They know that you threatened the chief

in Moose Bay.

You gotta let the Tait girl go.

Alan, relax.

My work's not finished here.

Jesus, you gotta get out of here

while you still can.

You're asking me to give up everything

I've worked so hard for.

I'm trying to protect you.

You're trying to run me out of town.

If you go down, I go down too.

What did you expect?

I get rid of Lasalle,

you get rid of me?

You know, I...

think you should get Evie a new bike.

'Cause that old red one is just too...

it's too small for her.

Now.

Who am I supposed to be running from?

It's John Cardinal.

Is Raymond Ojibwe?

His parents were Hungarian, I think.

And you said he attacked you?

Fireplace poker.

When I told him he couldn't live with his mother anymore.

But you never reported it.

He was nine.

I wanted to believe it was an accident.

Can you give us any more specifics

about Raymond?

You don't forget a kid like that.

Extremely bright.

Obsessed with death and religion,

anything to do with the afterlife.

At first, I encouraged his curiosity,

it was good to see a kid reading a book.

But then

he asked me if I'd ever seen the inside of a cat.

And he went into graphic detail,

how Leonardo da Vinci found god

inside corpses.

And the look in his eye.

Did you ever see him hurt an animal?

Catch him in the act? No. But,

around that time,

animals were going missing.

And after Raymond left-

it stopped.

Where did he go?

Florida, I heard.

But he'd aged out of the system,

so we didn't keep tabs.

Do you remember an Aaron Osborne?

He went to school with Raymond.

The kid he bashed with the shovel.

Yeah. What happened?

Aaron called his mother a biker slut.

She was associated with bikers?

Mhm.

For years.

They passed her around 'til there was nothing left.

Ray was 11 when he hit Aaron Osborne

with a shovel.

Then he found him again in Toronto,

20 years later.

Hell of a grudge.

Sensitive about his mom.

Maybe that's why he targeted the Northern Raiders.

Payback.

So, he's fascinated with death and immortality

and then he-

he finds Palo Mayombe.

It would give a kid like him a sense of control

over the chaos in his life.

He learns the basics in Sudbury,

and then he goes to Florida to learn more.

That makes sense.

There's a Palo Mayombe community there.

I'll start to make some calls.

A woman came to see me yesterday.

She assumed I knew John had been paying her to keep quiet

about what I'd done.

What is it you did?

I made a call

when I was manic

and I blew an officer's cover.

John never told you.

He risked his job for me.

And how did you feel when you learned this?

A man is dead because of me.
