7 Days

Synopsis: Bruno Hamel is a thirty eight year old surgeon. He lives in Drummondville with his wife Sylvie, and their eight year-old daughter Jasmine. Like many happy people, he is leading an uneventful life until a beautiful fall afternoon, when his daughter is raped and murdered. From then on, the world of the Hamel family collapses. When the murderer is arrested, a terrible project germinates in Bruno's darkened mind. He plans to capture the "monster" and make him pay for his crime. The day the murderer appears in Court, Hamel, who had prepared his plan in great detail, kidnaps the monster and later sends the police a brief message stating that the rapist and murderer of his daughter was going to be tortured for 7 days and then executed. Once this task accomplished, he will then give himself up.

Seven Days
Seven Days...
Dr Hamel?
Detective Sergeant Mercure speaking.
Sorry to bother you at this difficuIt time.
We think we've found
your little girI's murderer.
Murderer?.
We have solid material evidence.
Plus we analyzed the DNA...
...of the sperm we found.
lt matches the suspect's DNA.
ln my opinion the trial will be a formality.
Hello?
Dr Hamel?
Step aside, pIease. Step aside.
Mr. Lemaire?
- Do you have anything to say?
A new twist in the case
of 8-year- old Jasmine Hamel...
...found raped and murdered four days ago.
Already...
...the police have found enough evidence
to arrest a prime suspect.
He is a 31-year- old laborer...
...named Anthony Lemaire,
who moved to Drummondville
a few months ago.
He'd previously lived in St Hyacinthe,
where he was charged for sexual assault.
He was released for lack of evidence.
But now,
in the case of Jasmine Hamel,
the evidence seems more conclusive.
How Iong will he get?
About 15 to 25 years.
25 years.
Where are you going?
The hospital.
Work will do me good.
So soon?
Maybe you shouId go back to the gallery.
It'll help you forget.
I don't want to forget.
See you tonight.
This isn't for a friendly game of poker.
Not asking questions and keeping
your trap shut is part of the contract.
It sounds kind of suspicious.
This is a small town here, Mr...?
I toId you, it won't happen here.
How Iong can I think it over?
20 seconds.
There are other towns,
other handymen.
$25,000.
