Sorry.

Where is everybody?

Dominic.

- let me call you a cab. - no no no no no.

Why don't you Just drive me yourself?

I prefer my men Conscious, thank you.

Here's to change.

Francesco, get his keys.

- sorry, I'm calling A taxi for you. - all right, all right.

I'm going To go outside

And just hail A cab, okay?

[ police siren blaring ]

Hey!

Where's my damn car?

- [ car engine starts ] - hey.

- ole, ole, ole, ole! - [ honks ]

Idiot.

Here, boy.

[ whistling ]

Come to papa.

What?

You never watched Roy rogers and trigger?

Worked great for him.

Here, boy!

It's vanished.

I look up and down the street, Like where I usually park there,

And then around The corner and that,

Then I phoned All the towing companies.

Nobody has any idea Where my car is.

It's probably sitting In some chop shop

In the valley Next to mine.

Yeah, probably.

You know, If I had a dollar For every bone

Somebody found In a picnic

They thought Was human...

- are we...? - yeah, it's over there.

Usually turns out To be a rib

From somebody's Else's picnic.

Now, that's what Vancouver needs In a big way.

We need a good Rib joint up here.

Yeah, you've got To go to the states

- to get good ribs. - right, and that's pathetic.

Do you want To do that?

Do you want to Go down to seattle

And catch a ballgame And get some ribs?

I could really Handle that. Want to?

Sure. Baseball's The only game

Where defense Controls the ball.

Think about that-- It's backwards.

Well, it's All pitching.

Hey, what's this?

Hello? Eh.

[ flies buzzing ]

Oh-oh.

What's this look like To you here, chick?

Yup.

[ da vinci ]: boy, that Is a shallow grave.

Must have been buried Pretty quick.

No skull. Decapitation maybe.

Could make identification A bitch.

It's 50 yards From the road here.

This is an easy place To dump a body,

Drag it, bury it.

It would Be nice to know

When this happened.

I pulled A lot of jumpers

From underneath this bridge Over the years, okay?

Unless We find a pair of wings,

It's a little ways From the bridge

To be taking a dive. What do you say, chick?

Might find a pair of wings Over there?

Okay, okay, Funny man.

No, really, Nobody buries a jumper.

This is a homicide. I mean, the head's missing.

We had that red-headed torso Hanging around for a while.

Maybe they're related.

Okay. It's all yours.

Take it away.

Rule number one--

There's no logic To what a person will do

When they're trying To cover up a crime.

There's a panic Reaction factor

- that sets in. - [ mick ]: yeah?

You know that from Personal experience, leo?

What the hell Does that mean?

Nothing.

I'm just giving you The gears, man.

Well, pardon if That isn't funny.

And I don't like The inference.

- hey, danny. - hey, summer.

Hey, listen, I got to tell you--

I talked To francois.

He wants you to call him At his brother's.

You're supposed To ask for lou.

- he'll call you back. - I talked to him already.

He asked me To check you out,

See how you're doing.

You mean Check up on me?

- what did you tell him? - I'm not his boy.

Really?

Well...

Either that's bull Or you're deluding yourself.

Or it's his way of getting you To check up on me, maybe.

Maybe.

You want to talk About leon?

You're straight To the point.

Sure.

There's nothing going on Between him and me.

Does that answer Your question?

I'm not stupid, danny.

I hope not.

He's not running His mouth off about anything?

If he wasn't Running his mouth off,

He wouldn't be Leon now, would he?

I'd worry When he stops talking.

Let me know when He stops talking.

So, did we just, like, Make an arrangement?

I tell you And you tell me

Kind of a thing?

Well, it doesn't hurt To trade information

Now and again.

All right.

All right.

Oh...So if you're Going to check on me

For francois...

I'll be home tonight.

Just please go And look in the lot for me,

- 'cause I know Somebody towed it. - [ knocks ]

Okay, let me call you back.

Auto theft gave me The run-around,

Although they did Seem fairly amused That you misplaced it.

And there's a guy From accident investigation Here to see you.

- dominic. - zack.

- you got a minute? - sure.

Some homeless guy Last night

Got clipped In front of our bar--

Hit and run. I got the case.

I was there last night.

Yeah, I know. The bartender said

You left around Closing time.

Anything you can tell me? Were you driving?

To tell you The truth, zack,

I don't really remember.

All right. Where's your car?

I'm looking for it.

It's around.

I'll find it.

What about the guy That got hit?

It's up in the air Right now.

Broken leg, Internal bleeding, Possible brain damage,

And he wasn't that healthy To begin with, so...

I don't know What to tell you.

I guess I'll keep looking, I'll find the car,

We'll take a look At the car,

And everything Will be just...

Are you talking To anybody else?

Yeah, there were 10 cops in the bar.

It's a big problem For everybody.

Yeah, okay.

You know, If I were you,

I'd be looking For my car.

Thanks for Letting me know.

It's an official Investigation.

People are all over it, Being outside our bar.

Okay, zack. Thanks for letting me know.

I'll be in touch.

Helen?

Can you close the door?

Could you call And check on the condition

Of a hit-and-run Victim?

Accident occurred Behind our bar there.

Okay.

[ patricia ]: Are we waiting For dominic?

Yeah, we probably should.

He told me yesterday He'd be here.

Look, let's just Go ahead without him.

Here's what we know-- From the hips,

It looks like This is the skeleton Of an adult male.

There is an old Healed wrist fracture,

So that could be A clue to his identity.

- that's all we know? - no, but the skull's missing,

So we're out of luck On the obvious dental evidence,

- plus, it's hard To determine race. - how about the skull?

- was that a decapitation? - [ patricia ]: no. No tool marks.

Probably an animal took it.

It happens a lot.

There was no I.D. In any of the clothes.

That plays into Robbery homicide.

It's hard to determine A definite cause of death,

Especially without A skull.

Thanks for The hot tip.

Sorry I'm late.

Morning. Sunny's going To take over from here.

I've got to get To the university.

- a lecture? - no, research.

Research on what?

Uh-uh-uh.

We found several Interesting fractures.

As you can see, There are two different types--

Fractures to the left femur And the right tib and fib.

These are consistent With a blow.

Somebody hit him Hard with a weapon, Like a baseball bat?

- why not. - [ mick ]: if it Was hard enough,

Could it have, Say, ruptured an artery,

- the guy bleeds to death? - possibly.

The second fracture Is a dislocation.

Essentially, The bones of the lower legs

Were forced up

Past the bones Of the upper legs.

Maybe somebody threw Him off the bridge.

Sure. We see These fractures

When someone falls or Jumps from a great height,

- lands on their feet. - that could be the cause Of death.

The feet and legs Take the initial shock,

It carries on up Through the spine.

A couple of vertebrae Are badly fractured.

See, I...For sure,

I would say This would be a suicide,

Except for He was buried that way.

Okay, thanks. Hey, It's another good one. Did you hear?

We got A time of death.

- yeah? - yeah, some poor bastard

In forestry out At the university,

He sat down And he counted

All the rings On the roots

Growing through The skeleton.

Yeah, the guy died 12 months ago.

We've got missing persons Checking into the time frame.

Skeleton when found Was wearing denim jeans,

T-shirt, And a plaid work shirt--

All canadian manufacture.

That may help with the profile.

Yeah, most guys Wouldn't be caught dead Wearing plaid.

- most guys don't have Your sartorial sense, leo. - so few do.

D?

I called the police About that hit and run.

They were pretty Cagey about it.

They said that Nobody was killed,

So why does The coroner's office Need to know?

'cause the guy who got hit May end up a fatality,

- and we want to Stay on top of it. - that's what I said,

But they just Told me that he was In intensive care.

- any statement? - he's in and out Of consciousness.

- okay, thanks. - mm-hmm.

- you wanted To talk to me? - yes, I do.

Shut the door.

Sergeant regan tells me You're being questioned

About a hit and run

Outside the police bar The other night.

Yeah. I won't Lie to you, jimmy.

Anything in it?

Well, I told zack What I can remember.

Look...

I can't find my car. I don't know how I got home,

But I'm dealing With it, jimmy,

- it's going to be okay. - sit down.

I'm not asking for my ass To be covered here.

No one's offering, okay?

Do you mind telling me What regan's interest In this actually is?

It surprises you That your "Take No prisoners" attitude

- has made you A few enemies? - no.

So what about This unnamed enemy, then?

Is it a conflict for you Or what?

Linda saltwyn. She was the lawyer

That represented The couple

At the retirement home That burned down.

I remember her.

All of a sudden, She's developed a conscience?

No, more along on the lines Of she hates your guts.

How the hell Would she get involved In something like this?

She's representing The homeless man that was hit.

Pro bono.

And she's all over regan To keep tabs on the situation.

Dominic, if he dies, It's...

Hit and run.

Crim neg Causing death.

She'll sue you. She'll sue me.

She'll sue the entire Coroner's office.

And regan won't be unhappy To hang it on you.

Okay, thanks for the warning.

You know, I never really realized

How many people Go missing in vancouver.

It's unbelievable.

Mom goes out For a pack of smokes,

Never comes back

The boss doesn't Show up for work-- It's crazy, you know?

One minute, Somebody's expected somewhere,

The next minute, gone-- Puff of smoke.

Speaking of missing persons,

What's happening With your brother?

Haven't heard A word from him.

Has he been Staying with you?

Nah. Ange, I'm not his keeper. I warned you.

Hey, leo. Take a look At this here.

About a year ago, This guy, lamont dickson,

He leaves his girlfriend's, Heads over the bridge

To visit his ex And kids in kitsilano.

[ leo ]: Hey, that's quite a hike. That's a couple of miles.

Yeah, well, He was fresh Out of prison.

Maybe he wanted The exercise.

Anyway, about 11:00, The ex-wife calls the cops,

Says he's Harassing her.

Was there A restraining order?

I don't see anywhere...

I don't see anything About a restraining order.

Anyway, the neighbor, The same night, june 1st,

Said they heard the ex-wife's Boyfriend, rocky.

Hey--now, there's Your suspect.

Any guy named "Rocky" Goes to the head of my list.

Good. He had A prison record, too.

So he shows up there,

He starts arguing With lamont, right?

The cops show up, They figure it all out,

Lamont splits. The next morning,

His girlfriend trina, From the west end, Calls missing persons,

Reports him missing. He never came back.

Rocky did it. I'm laying odds. Let me see that.

They found the skeleton About six blocks

From where The ex-wife lives.

Missing persons Reported it

As a possible homicide At the time,

But they didn't Have enough evidence To charge anybody.

His girlfriend says That when he left,

He was wearing working clothes-- Blue jeans and a plaid shirt.

Sounds like Our boy.

Wish they could All be that easy.

Look at this. Regan stole My cup again.

I'd wash that Really good.

Hey.

What do you think?

I just bought it. Well, come on onboard.

We'll go For a little spin.

What did you Get this for?

Nothing but a hole In the ocean to pour Your money into.

Hey, so's the hole In your arm.

You spend it how You want to spend it,

I spend it how I want to spend it.

So you want a drink?

That's a sample.

It's pure. I tested it.

What's the deal?

They're holding 50 kis. If everything goes smooth,

Then we get An unlimited supply.

What's the turnaround Time for you?

That depends On the money.

It's not a front. I need cash.

Yeah, well, It's going to take me

About a week To put that together.

Forget it. They wanted to do this Tonight or not at all.

I thought You understood that, leon.

If I don't get The glue together--

Would you slow down?

I'll make some Phone calls, okay?

Leave this with me.

People are going to want To do a taste test.

You know, danny,

This is what It's all about.

You'll do all right With that.

Let's just think about this For one more minute here.

- okay. - okay? This guy Really got smacked.

You're going to notice. I know you.

You're not just Going to hit a guy And then keep going.

How do you know that?

How the hell Do you know that If I don't know that?

Whether I hit the guy Or didn't hit the guy

Is not really The point here.

It's that I don't remember.

I just don't...

- remember. - [ knocks ]

Let's take a walk.

Okay, you came Out here,

You were looking For your car.

Where do you Usually park?

I usually park Right here,

But the bar Was unusually Full of people

- that night, hey? - mm-hmm.

Where was The guy struck?

Down at the mouth Of the alley.

Okay, which way is home? What's your usual route?

Well, I come out of here, I go down to the mouth Of the alley,

I take a right, A right, and then I'm on the viaduct.

Okay, he's stepping out Off the sidewalk

To the right here, You're looking left Into traffic.

- look at the pavement. - what?

There's no rubber On the road.

Whoever did it Didn't even hit The brakes,

Or else their Brakes are soft.

Oh, I just Had my brakes done.

Okay, I've got to talk To some other people.

- what? Police? - it's a police bar, It's full of members.

They'll be closing Ranks on me.

I made a few enemies Over the years.

Yeah, a few.

You let me know If you remember anything.

Okay, thanks.

[ woman ]: the police Were supposed to tell me

Before he was released.

I was supposed To have some warning.

- but they didn't call? - no.

One minute, I'm in the kitchen Up to my elbows in dishes,

Next, my youngest's screaming Because lamont's in the yard.

- they were afraid of him? - they had good reason.

- he could be violent. - lamont's in your yard.

- then what did you do? - I called the police.

And what about Your boyfriend, rocky?

- did you call him, too? - yeah, I called him.

[ mick ]: He knew of lamont Being violent?

Yeah, he knew Lamont was violent. I told him.

Okay, so rocky came over, And then what happened?

Lamont's outside,

Yelling, trying to get The kids to come out.

He and rocky started To push and shove,

Throw some punches.

When the cops show up, Lamont leaves,

Cops leave, No charges, nothing.

But what about rocky? What did he do?

He said he was going To go get cigarettes.

He got in his truck, And he left.

Do you know How long he was gone?

- do you remember? - about an hour, I guess.

Did he give any reason Why he took so long

To just go around the corner?

Ask him yourself. I don't see him anymore.

Listen, I got to tell you,

If this skeleton Turns out to be lamont,

You become a murder suspect.

If rocky said Anything to you at all

About what happened,

You've got To let us know right now.

He told lamont

That if he ever came Around here again...

He'd bury him.

The prison x-rays Are on the left.

The wrist fracture is identical

To those of the skeletal remains On the right.

Our plaid man is lamont.

Thanks, doc.

Guess our prime Suspect is rocky.

Hey.

Now, these leg fractures On the femur...

Okay?

Above the knee On the one,

And halfway up The calf on the other--

These are front-force Impact blows, right?

That's right.

Okay, so if it was A beating on this one,

This was done with a bat, Or, say, a pipe,

That would be A hell of a swing

To break clean Like that, wouldn't it?

I suppose so.

I understand You're in a bit Of a situation.

Yeah.

You don't seem Particularly upset.

I don't?

- no. - well, inside, I'm freaking.

You know, If I hit this guy,

It's, like, All over for me.

It's like...

I don't even know...

What's going To happen to me.

Anyway, later.

See you.

I was pretty shook.

I remember finding A good stash of cans

- behind the bar. - yeah?

Francesco puts them Out for me sometimes.

Francesco? I know francesco.

- yeah. Yeah. - good guy.

Would you spot The driver of the vehicle

If you could See him again?

Could you spot The vehicle?

I think somebody Came up to me

When I was On the ground.

- he said something. - yeah? What did he say?

Asked if I was all right.

That's about All I remember.

All right.

Do I look Familiar to you?

I don't know. Maybe.

- maybe? - what the hell do you Think you're doing

Coaching my client?

This is more than Inappropriate,

Don't you think?

I just came by To see if he was all right.

Okay, I'm going now, hey?

Yeah.

So you get better And recover, all right?

Be nice to the nurses.

Hi.

How are you doing?

Squeezing by.

What the hell were you doing?

You had no official business Being there.

I'm a citizen, he's a citizen,

I have every damn right To be there.

She said it sounded like You were coaching him.

I'm not trying To cover my ass here.

I told you that already. If I did it, I want to know.

And if I didn't do it,

I want the right to clear My name. Is that so hard To understand?

Look, just don't you Worry about it, jimmy?

Okay, I'm not going To hide behind anybody.

I never have, And I hope to hell I never will.

But if you think I'm going to resign

Before there's a decision here, Forget about it.

I'm still doing my damn job.

It says here You broke some guy's legs

And did 18 months. What was that all about?

I ain't ashamed of it. He raped my little brother.

I should have done more. I should have made sure

He was squatting in a bag The rest of his life.

So you're A white knight, huh?

Ride into town, kick some ass, Do your stuff,

Everybody stands up And cheers for you. Is that it?

Somebody Had to do something.

You guys didn't do Diddly-squat about it.

What about Your ex-girlfriend, sylvia,

You wanted to protect her, too?

I've answered These questions before.

Well, you're going to have to Answer them again, rocky,

Because now we've got A body,

Things are a lot more Serious for you.

I didn't kill him. If I did, you'd know about it.

I'd take a plea, I'd do a bit and be Damn proud of it.

- a real hero. - okay, tell us What happened

The night lamont Came over.

Sylvia called, And I went out there To help her.

You went over there, Lamont shows up,

Then what did you do?

I started to try to talk to him,

The cops showed up, And he left.

Rocky, you don't look like The kind of guy

Who does talking too much.

What happened next?

Then I went To buy cigarettes.

Come on, you were gone Almost an hour.

You went To buy smokes?

We've got a body now, rocky.

I followed lamont. I wanted to make sure

- he wouldn't Go back to her place. - [ mick ]: where did you go?

I followed him Down her street to cornwall.

As soon as I was really sure He wasn't going to go back,

I turned around, Went and got smokes.

The police report says Lamont didn't leave until about A quarter after 11:00.

The clerk at The convenience store

Says you showed up For your smokes Around midnight.

So you want me to believe

That the guy was walking around For 45 minutes?

He walked around the block A couple of times

Like he was going to head back.

I think he saw me And thought twice About it.

All right, so you're Following lamont around.

You follow him to the bridge?

No. Definitely not.

I told you I went home.

I ain't answering Any more questions.

You guys want to charge me, Then do it,

Otherwise I'm walking out of here.

See you later.

We'll be talking to you again, Rocky.

Next time, call first.

Who's that?

Hey.

When did you Get in?

This morning. I tried calling A couple of times.

You guys were always On the job.

That's the way it is. How was the trip?

Good. Good.

Yeah?

Hey, I got to go.

So, are we up for lunch?

I'll call you When I get off.

I'm going To catch up

With you, too.

Okay.

Hey, angela, Here, have a look at this.

See if you can Shake something loose On those two jokers

That held up The speedy cash, will you?

Okay?

Oh, leo?

Where the hell Are you exactly

On this Alcohol killer case?

Oh, that's nothing But a dead end.

Then why is Patricia da vinci asking For our paperwork on it?

Hell if I know.

That woman's Becoming as big a pain In the ass as her ex.

[ car honks ]

[ jazz music playing ]

Okay.

Helen, hi.

Yeah, call...

Call shannon, get him down here.

I'm over in kits Under the bridge.

So you think That somebody

Clipped him With a vehicle,

And that's what caused The clean breaks

To the calf And the thigh?

Yeah, 'cause the fractures Are more consistent

With being hit by a car.

Rocky was driving His truck that night.

Said he followed lamont Right up to the edge Of the bridge.

Hey, let's say that rocky Gets it into his head

To save sylvia from lamont. Hey, the world's A little lighter

Without lamont Walking around in it.

So, he follows lamont, He hits him with a truck.

It's monday night, Around about midnight,

The streets are pretty Quiet around here.

So rocky Takes lamont out.

Nobody sees it, But rocky's thinking ahead.

He knows he's going To be a suspect.

So he pitches him Off the bridge,

Thinking he'll make it Look like suicide.

Yeah, well, that would explain The other fractures,

But why does he bury Lamont's body?

He looks over the bridge, The body's in plain view,

He doesn't Want it to be found, At least not right away,

So he drives down To the clearing,

Drags the body Over to where it is,

And throws Some dirt on it.

But why on this side? He was going the other way.

Look, there's offices Over there,

There's condos Over there,

The body would be found A lot quicker.

You know, It's pretty quiet. With the traffic,

He could have Pulled a u-ee Really easily.

- does rocky Still have his truck? - he didn't say.

Okay, what about The two uniforms

That broke up the fight Between rocky and lamont there?

- did you talk to them? - they corroborated Rocky's story.

Lamont left, and rocky Went to the house.

You don't have copies Of their notebooks?

Yes, down at The station.

Why? What do you Want it for?

If there's negligence here Causing a preventable death,

You know, someone's Going to have to be told.

[ leo ]: What did you do with Your truck, rocky?

- some guy bought it. - we'd like his name.

I don't remember his name. Some guy out of the paper.

You told us you were Following lamont around In your truck.

Lamont turns up With a couple Of busted legs

Like somebody drove into him. Were you following A bit too close?

I didn't run him down.

I want to see your Damn truck, rocky!

I want you to see my truck,

Then you'll know I'm telling you the truth.

Call motor vehicles. It's registered.

Thanks, helen. Hey, zack.

Come in. Take a seat.

I take it You remembered something,

Or else you wouldn't have Asked me all the way down here.

This is another matter Completely.

No, I have a pair Of officers' notebooks

Regarding a domestic dispute--

Some other guy We're looking into.

Anyway, I was looking at-- Here, you take a look.

Shortly after they left The scene of the domestic,

They take an Accident report-- It's on the next page--

At the burrard Street bridge, right?

This is over a year old, Nobody got hurt.

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

This woman, Laura gladwin, or whatever,

She's driving along,

She jumps five lanes of traffic,

Loses control of her vehicle,

And goes right up Onto a sidewalk,

And smacks into A pedestrian hand railing On the bridge.

It happens more often Than you might think.

She never explained Why it happened.

Okay, I want to know What all this is about.

Why the sudden interest?

Sudden interest?

Look, I haven't retired, And I haven't been convicted

Of anything-- Not that I know of,

Not quite yet, anyway. So, I'm just doing my job here.

- got a problem with that? - you trying to bury me In paper?

I'm reading, I'm wondering, "What the hell happened here?"

How the hell should I know? It's a routine accident.

Routine?

She wasn't given a breathalyzer.

Is that not Routine anymore?

She jumps Five lanes

And smacks into a railing,

And no breathalyzer?

You going to Go to war with me Over this, okay.

I re-interviewed The waitress and the bartender

From the cop bar.

They both remember Asking you for your keys,

But you wouldn't Give them up.

So we're going to see A lot more of each other.

-I'm looking forward to it. - me too.

Hi, guys.

You got something For us?

A lot of possibilities With the clothes.

I didn't find anything With the shirt,

But if you look below the knee On the left leg,

And the inner calf Of the right leg,

You can see black scuff marks.

Now, these line up Almost perfectly

With the two leg fractures On the victim.

Could that have been From the bumper of a truck?

Depends on the truck, How high the bumper sits.

Anything else about the jeans?

I've recovered Some paint chips,

And I'm having the lab Look at them.

- paint chips? - yeah.

We're investigating A situation

That occurred That night

That you had That accident

On the burrard Street bridge.

Take a seat.

Do you recall That night

Very well at all?

A little bit.

I was in shock Afterwards.

It's been hard To piece it all together.

Actually, it's not Your accident that I'm directly interested in.

I'm just wondering If you saw anyone

Or anything unusual

On the west side Of the bridge

Before your accident That night.

Sorry, but I barely Remember the accident.

You see, Here's my problem--

Somebody hit A pedestrian that night--

Hit and run--

And to locate Possible witnesses

Has been a nightmare.

So you didn't recall Anything unusual?

No, I don't think so.

Do you remember

Where you'd been That night?

Yes. I had dinner With a client.

Oh, with a client?

- a lot of drinking? - no. I don't drink.

I'm allergic to alcohol. I get a histamine reaction.

Okay, so you're Driving along, sober,

Much traffic?

No. The streets Were pretty deserted.

Nothing else?

No, I'm sorry.

Okay. Well, you tried.

I really appreciate You coming in.

By the way,

What happened With your car?

- it was a write-off. - oh, no.

Yeah.

Would you take One of my cards,

And if you remember Anything at all,

Call me-- And that's my cell.

- leave a message. - I certainly will.

- thanks. - thank you.

- what's this about? - well, read the seizure.

Here, it's Very simple.

It's a grey bmw 1996,

Owned by Laura gladwin.

You don't know Nothing?

Well, you know, Let me just check With auto theft,

'cause I think they can Go down and look through Your receipts

And see if they come up With anything themselves.

You don't Have to do all that. It's right over here.

Thank you.

This is it? You keep it covered?

Yeah. I could turn A few dollars on this.

Pretty clean, huh?

Is this How it came in?

Hell, no. I practically rebuilt The whole front end.

- beautiful job. - thanks.

What did you do with The parts of the car?

Right there.

Now, taking a look

At the left side Of the bumper here,

That's consistent where it says She hit the pedestrian railing.

What about the damage On the hood?

Well, the dent is From something soft.

There's no crush Or wrinkles in it.

How would something like that Happen, zack?

- a body. - [ dominic ]: a body.

Good. Can you tell me About the grill again, chick?

Well, on the left, You've got the crush

- where she hit The railing. - right.

And on the right, you've got An indentation here, see?

Yeah. And that's directly Below the damage On the hood.

- that's right. - okay, now, how does This work for you, okay?

She's driving along, This drunk,

He steps right In front of her, Right into the lane,

She hits him on this part Of the grill right here.

Now she panics.

Hard left hand down, She's out of control,

She's heading this way, He bounces off the hood,

He goes over The railing that way,

And she continues...

To the point where she makes Contact with that railing.

- does that work for you? - sounds like it could happen.

What about you, Zack?

[ dominic ]: We found your car.

That was a nice deal You did that junkyard guy.

Is there something Against the law about Selling a car?

Not unless it was used In the commission Of an offence.

What offence Are we talking about now?

Where do we start? Hit and run? Manslaughter?

Let's not exclude murder.

Tell me something.

Why are you Talking to me About these things?

You're a coroner.

Because it's about A death, and that's What coroners do.

Look, I didn't See anybody,

I didn't hit anybody.

I was going too fast, I lost control,

And I hit The guard rail.

Do you really think I would call the police

If I'd hit somebody

And was trying To cover it up?

Well, maybe you would If there was no body.

So where are we now?

I didn't hit anybody, I called the police,

They investigate,

They don't find a body.

We just did.

A year later? Do you know How many people

Drive over that bridge Every single day?

Have you talked To everybody

Who's had an accident On that bridge?

Have you ever testified Under oath at an inquest?

If that's what You have to do,

Go ahead, call one.

[ knocking ]

- [ mick ]: You two through? - yeah, for now.

She's all yours. This is detective leary,

Homicide.

Here's a photograph Of your bumper.

Another photograph--

This one of the hood Of your car.

Here's a photograph Of the jeans of our victim.

I want you to take

A real close Look at these,

Because the seam On these jeans

Matches up with This mark here

On the bumper Of your car.

The pocket Of these jeans

Matches up with that mark On the hood of your car.

Those are as good As fingerprints.

Millions of people wear jeans.

So what are You saying?

That you ran into somebody else Who was wearing a pair of jeans?

I don't think so.

Here's a picture Of a paint chip On the jeans.

This is a paint chip From your car.

This is both of them.

They match.

How many grey bmws

Do you think Are out there?

I'm guessing probably Quite a few.

But only one That was originally blue

From the factory,

Which was repainted grey By the owner,

Who then sold it to you.

Now, that we've Established

That it's definitely Your car,

And you agreed with The police that night

That you were behind The wheel of the car,

There's just one little bit That is kind of confusing to me,

And, I think, To my partner here, too.

What's that?

Well, our victim, Lamont,

He suffered two fractured legs And crushed vertebrae.

Now, I'm just wondering How the hell

He had the presence Of mind to drag himself

From underneath The bridge

50 yards up to A piece of brush,

Dig a hole, And bury himself in it.

That's a hell of a feat.

Leo, maybe we ought To be talking about charges.

[ leo ]: Well, it was An accident,

And if she'd have Reported it,

It would have been A driving violation.

Yeah, but she Didn't report it. She covered it up.

So what's that make it?

A case of manslaughter?

[ leo ]: My take is that You panicked.

When you started Thinking about what You had to lose.

You lost it anyway.

We found your car.

Where?

It was up an access road On whistler mountain.

What's the damage?

Yeah, you're going To need a new ignition.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Oh, sorry.

Hi.

Remember me?

Ah. Yeah.

Here.

What's this?

A friend of mine Down at social services.

She'll make sure that you get A nice place to stay

When you get out of here.

Oh, thank you Very much.

Okay.
