Just as two mounted officers Come riding up.

The guy runs. They take off after her

Like john wayne In the searchers.

The guy runs?

Leo and mick pull up, Hear what's going on,

And boot it On up the road.

There's four of them Out chasing the guy?

So what are the chances This is a slam dunk,

And it's all tied up Nice, and neat and tidy? What do you think?

I got my doubts there.

I thought so. Why?

There's no Livor mortis here.

Pooling isn't fixed.

She hasn't been here Very long.

What do you think About this mouth

And this reddish stain All around her?

I don't know.

Could it be She vomited? It's gastric contents?

- have to be Pretty acidic. - yeah, pretty.

John, don't worry.

My name is dominic.

I'm with The coroner's office.

Okay. Excuse me a sec.

He's a walker.

- he's going To help you out. - yeah. He will.

Go ahead.

Well, john, Where's your camp?

Trail of the beaver.

Okay, what Were you doing

Standing over This body here?

I was thinking

That maybe she had a watch I didn't see.

She had a watch You didn't see?

What do you mean? You were here before?

She had... A summer jacket

For those Chilly vancouver evenings

On the patio.

Okay, john,

Can you take us To where you live?

We could have a cup of tea.

Hey, hey, hey! Slow down, slow down!

Wait up a sec. Wait, wait, wait!

I don't know

What you've got On your hands here, chick.

I spoke to The crown prosecutor

An hour ago.

He's just finishing up The paperwork.

Those detectives From montreal

Are coming in Today or tomorrow. They didn't say.

I thought our friend

Was going to Take care of this.

I thought that charge Was going to disappear.

That's going to happen. Don't worry.

They're just going Through the motions,

Trying to get you To talk about what happened,

Make some kind of deal.

The mounties

Haven't felt you out About that?

No. They talk to you?

I'm on your side here.

All right.

I'll trust you On that.

On another matter,

You left some Business pending.

Leon's sitting On some financing

That he can't Hold on to forever.

He's concerned The deal may fall apart.

Tell leon...

That I'm managing This deal.

I'm not going To put him together

With my contacts

And lose my middle.

Tell him it's offshore,

And I'll bring it in As soon as I can get out.

Done.

So who's doing This autopsy?

I am.

Sunny is going To seattle

For the homicide Conference with You guys.

Oh, that's right.

So, patricia, What do you think here?

Usually, when you see Aspiration like this,

The person is lying On their back unconscious,

And unable To clear their airways. I expect her air passages

Will be full of vomit When I take a look.

We're waiting on you.

You're waiting for me.

Now, this is Definitely a bite mark,

And it's definitely human.

I'd like to do a cast.

Oh, yeah?

We've got The homeless walker

Still in custody.

We could get a cast From his bite.

Before we cast,

I'd like to do a check For semen stains.

Let's do it. Mick, the light.

This will tell us.

Nothing. Nothing.

Hold it, hold it. Oh, you got a hit.

You got two.

There's two.

I bet you a buck That's spit, not spunk.

[ da vinci ]: No, you must do it.

We're a nation Of smugglers.

We're canadians. It's in our blood.

No, they always Check me at the border.

They always think I'm lying.

That's because You never lie.

Maybe you ought To try lying. They might believe you.

Yeah, lie next time.

Say, "Look, I got Nothing to declare, just Two bottles in my purse."

You know, my grandfather Used to smuggle During prohibition

From windsor to detroit.

Well, forget What I just said.

He'll do it for you.

So we're getting Together later, right?

Um...

Blue jays, mariners. Right?

We're going to have A little dinner.

How about Breakfast?

...And the differences

Between these And other profiling Techniques,

Specifically, those employed In the gathering of

And disbursement Of crime scene statistics.

Now, our next presenter This morning

Is a specialist in this field--

Special agent charlotte turner Of the fbi, san francisco.

Thank you, sergeant white. The case I am presenting today

Will focus on New toxicology interpretations

In a female Strangulation death.

Can I have The lights, please?

This is ellen rogers,

A college student In san diego, california.

She was reported missing By her mother on may 12, 1996,

And was found three days later In san francisco

Alongside a jogging path In golden gate park.

The victim Was strangled with A brassiere,

Which we determined

To be the property Of the victim herself.

There was Nothing fancy about it.

It was wrapped around her neck And tied in the back.

Obviously, ms. Rogers Was not a willing participant In her own strangulation,

And yet we found no sign Of violence or of any struggle.

We did find semen,

And we have a dna profile Of her attacker.

We believe She'd been sexually assaulted Several times,

Which means that her assailant Kept her in captivity

And had ready access to her,

And that brings me To the aspect of her death

That is relevant In my presentation today--

The toxicology report.

She was knocked out With a commercial barbiturate,

A drug called carabonal.

It's an antidepressive, Anti-anxiety drug

That induces sleep,

And, depending upon dosage, It can be fatal.

Excuse me?

I'm with portland homicide.

Now, I'm sorry for interrupting,

But this sounds an awful lot Like an open case we've had

From about a year ago.

I'd like To hear about it,

If we could talk later?

I think maybe I should be there.

I'm from bellingham, and We may have something Very similar

From about Eight months ago.

- was there carabonal involved? - yes, there was.

All right,

Clearly, we need to talk.

But if we could just get back To ellen rogers

For just a minute--

Excuse me?

My name is dominic da vinci.

I'm from vancouver, canada, The coroner's office.

Well, she wasn't strangled And she wasn't raped.

We have no cause of death Yet determined,

But we believe That she aspirated on something,

And choked,

And we did find Evidence of biting.

- toxicology? - no, we don't Have it back yet.

Call me when you do. We'll compare notes.

You've only got two Out of six similars.

What about Her aspiration?

Well, we believe That's the terminal event,

But, well, we think There's a drug on board.

Sounds like it.

What's about The frequency?

My san francisco case Was three years ago.

12 months.

About eight Or nine months.

Oh, so he's gone From san francisco,

- portland, bellingham-- - he's heading north.

I found it In the lining of the jacket

At the walker's camp.

She had a hole In her pocket,

So it must have Slipped out.

- were there any prints? - just hers.

No hotel logo,

- but the manufacturer's Name's on there. - key line security ltd.

Well, that's a place to start. Anything else interesting?

Not really. That's about it.

What happened To your suspect?

Negative match On the bite mark,

So we kicked him loose.

Leo tracked down his doctor, And got him his medication.

When's the last time You made up this room?

Three days ago.

I come in here Every day,

But the bed hasn't Been slept in.

What condition was the room in When you last cleaned up?

Clean, neat.

No sign of any Disturbance At all?

No.

Hey, leo?

Check this out.

Her purse is here.

It's got her wallet.

All her credit cards Are still in it.

Where would you go Without your purse?

Not far.

I mean, I might Leave it up here

If I was going To eat or drink

In the hotel,

Put it on My room bill.

We can get a list Of her incidentals

From the manager.

We'll want to talk To anybody on staff

Who may have seen This young woman

Around or about During her stay here,

Anybody who may have Talked to her at all.

Hey, you guys Get any hits

Off that Viclas report?

No.

Did you enter it?

We did.

No matches.

We got a hotel key

Out of the jacket

The walker Lifted off our victim.

Her name Is sandy whelan

From calgary.

She disappeared from her room Three days ago.

She went downstairs Without her purse.

She left that in the room.

Ate a vegetarian plate And disappeared.

Maybe she went out To walk off the meal.

Yeah, those veggies Will give you gas.

I'm not going for a walk In the middle of the night.

That doesn't play for me.

No.

You guys didn't Get any hits

Off this thing At all?

Did you try a female In a wooded area?

Hey, ours is in there.

If it doesn't work, It ain't my fault.

You see why This pisses me off?

Every time, You start nagging.

Did you link up with Viclas in the states?

You know, da vinci said He heard of

Some similar homicides At the conference.

Well, no, we didn't.

We were kind of busy.

Trying to find out Who she was,

Who she may have seen last--

Things that I thought Were important priorities,

But if you want To run it,

Go ahead, Knock yourself out.

D, there's someone's here Who wants to talk to a coroner.

I think he'd really Appreciate it.

Okay, sure, send him in.

I don't know If I'm in the right place.

You wanted To see a coroner?

I'm joel morton.

Dominic da vinci.

I read about the girl Who was found in the park,

And how they don't know Who she is,

And, well, my daughter, Kathy, is missing.

How long ago did She go missing?

That's the problem, I guess.

About three months--

And they didn't--

The paper didn't say

How, what condition This girl was in so--

It's not Your daughter.

We have an I.D. On that victim.

You're sure?

We've notified the family.

Okay, okay. Thanks for the time.

What were the circumstances

Surrounding Her disappearance?

If you don't mind Talking about this,

I'd appreciate it.

It might help me out.

Would you like To sit down?

Same kind of thing, Which is why I came down.

She was last seen

Having a drink in a hotel bar In kamloops, and then nothing.

I got A reward posted.

$50,000.

God, I'm sorry.

I don't know How to help you out here.

If you know The name

Of the detective up in kamloops, I could talk to him.

I know how these things Turn out.

I just want her...

I want her home.

Sandy whelan had a drug Called carabonal.

Carabonal?

That's it. Same, same.

Oh, my god.

What's the story with that?

It's related

To the more infamous Date rape drugs.

The dosage was enough

To cause her to aspirate Into her lungs,

And then suffocate.

Maybe the plan here Was to drug her,

And sexually Assault her,

The death Unintentional,

Accidental.

Possible.

So how long does it take When it's given to somebody?

If it's in my drink, How long before it acts?

A few minutes,

Depending upon the individual And the effect of the alcohol.

A few minutes?

Okay, thanks.

So she paid her bill,

She was still Walking and talking

At that point.

Did she have alcohol With her dinner?

According to Her dinner tab,

She had One glass of wine,

And she ate alone.

She ate alone?

How does somebody Slip a mickey finn

When you're Eating alone?

How does that happen?

Could be looking at A hotel employee.

Easy access to a glass Or a bottle, right?

Hey, who was That poisoner?

Poisoner?

Who poisoned All those people?

Poisoner? You know how many Poisoners there were?

You've got to Narrow it down for me.

Middle ages, Famous italian woman.

Oh, italian-- Lucretia borgia?

- daughter of the pope. - oh, yeah.

She used cyanide.

You know what The thing about her was?

- mal occhio-- The evil eye. - that's the one.

- here you go. - thanks.

My pleasure.

I think this is it for me.

My husband's

Going to wonder Where I am.

That's a beautiful ring.

Thanks.

It's an antique. I got it in italy.

It's pretty.

- excuse me? - yes?

Can I give you A hand?

Yeah, my car's Over there,

And I'm afraid

My friend's had Too much to drink.

I don't know her.

I don't know you.

Of course, you do.

I'll take you Home, honey.

We don't know Our vancouver victim

Died of anything other Than a carabonal overdose.

Here's the progression.

Three years ago,

The first victim that we know of Was last seen in san diego,

And found three days later In san francisco.

Second victim--

Last seen in sacramento, Taken to portland.

Third possible victim--

Last seen In olympia, washington,

And found in bellingham. He's using the I-5.

And I see no reason

Why he'd stop at the border.

Ours wasn't sexually Assaulted or strangled.

But ingesting the same drug.

It's true Your victim

Wasn't strangled Or sexually assaulted,

But I'm speculating That she died

Before that could occur

In the manner The perpetrator desires.

Once she was dead,

He lost interest In the sexual act.

What does All this mean?

He lost interest In this particular victim.

His fantasy Wasn't fulfilled.

Not yet.

Whoever is doing this

Is aware of Our jurisdictional Limitations,

And is purposely using that To his advantage.

He's going city to city, State to state,

And, possibly, Country to country.

I would like to remind you

That vancouver homicides Are not your jurisdiction.

In fact, they're not Even mr. Da vinci's.

Let's talk about Jurisdiction for a minute.

If this pattern Continues, somewhere around Your lovely country,

We're going to find The body of a woman

Who was taken across The border and murdered. At the very least,

That is kidnapping Of a u.S. Citizen, and That is my jurisdiction.

Fine.

When that happens, Please let us know.

In the meantime,

Our present victim--

Well, if she was a victim--

Was a canadian citizen From calgary,

And she was staying In a vancouver hotel.

Have you put this Through your viclas system?

Don't talk to me About viclas.

It's a bloody Black hole.

And if you think I've got the time To be phoning

Every municipality In this province, Just think again.

Okay, vancouver's Your jurisdiction, all right.

Have you got a minute?

You know, If you wanted to be

A homicide investigator,

You should have stayed With the police.

Don't tell me How to conduct An investigation.

In fact, don't tell Any of my people

How to conduct An investigation.

Thanks for Taking the time.

Have a nice day.

Here you go.

And what's The estimated time For your dna turnaround

- on the saliva Off the bite? - forever.

There's only two labs Doing dna--

One's in toronto

And the other one's The mounties.

Mick, how come I'm hearing About these three murdered women

From a damn fbi agent And da vinci?

Why did I send you To this homicide conference?

They had Presentations

Going on all over

For 12 hours a day.

I...

Just couldn't Get to all of them.

Tell me about Sandy whelan?

I ran the carabonal

For similar cases In vancouver,

And I got three hits On sexual assault.

Two are recent, Both guys in the joint.

The third one Was four years ago.

The accused's name Was dean resnick.

What's his story?

The rape victim,

She suspects resnick

Slipped the drug Into her drink in a bar,

So they picked him up, Took a blood sample,

But she couldn't Positively I.D. Him.

But he was a suspect

In four other Rape charges

Without the drug,

So I got an address For his last job.

They ever run Resnick's blood sample

Against the dna From the rape victim?

- no. - why not?

Doesn't say.

Get resnick's blood sample

And the saliva From the bites on sandy whelan,

And take them to a private lab. Screw the cost.

We're looking for this woman.

We think she was in here Last monday.

She had dinner Next door.

I don't remember her.

You were working That monday night?

Yeah, I came on At 4:30.

We're talking Monday, right?

Check my time card, If you don't believe me.

Let's talk About tuesday night.

That business with the rape-- Forget it.

He wasn't the type.

What type was he?

You know, He was good-looking, quiet,

Nice manners,

Girls were always Coming on to dean, Believe me.

He didn't have any trouble Getting laid.

Really?

Why did he stop Working here?

Well, he was In an accident.

He got a pretty Good settlement.

No, no.

It's kind of funny How it worked out.

How's that?

He married his hospital nurse.

Can you believe it?

Ma'am, that's a nice car.

Phil's got it right.

He worked on monday.

He wasn't late?

No.

But he was pissed, All right?

How pissed?

He could do his job.

You notice anybody On the prowl in the bar?

There was A redheaded guy.

He came in about 4:00.

Stayed here

Until I left About 5:15.

Tried to pick up Every chick

Who came in here.

Signed his tab, So he was staying here.

The front desk Should have a record.

Okay. Thanks.

If phil says

He didn't see Your woman,

He probably Doesn't remember.

Yeah, well, You tell phil

That I got an excellent memory, And he's in it.

Thanks.

Hi, baby.

Are you still sleeping?

That's good. You need your rest.

Hey, what can I do for you?

This guy's Looking for you.

Yeah, it's okay.

I remembered Something.

I found these Near the dead girl.

Well, thanks.

Thanks for bringing That in.

Can I get an officer To give you a ride?

No.

Thanks.

I'll walk.

We want to explain

What we're going To do to you.

Sorry.

Look at the guy

Over there At the end of the bar.

You can see it Happening.

He's feeling Lucky tonight.

He keeps Hitting on them

Until one of them

Lets him Buy her a drink.

This is his third try.

Well, no problem now.

He's got his charm Flowing like wine. He's in.

There she goes To the can.

See, he's cute, So she wants To make sure

Her lipstick's On straight,

And there isn't Any spinach in her teeth.

Really?

So here's His opportunity.

All he has to do Is drop something In her drink.

That's why women feel more Comfortable going to bars With other women.

Well, did it help The women in Our cases at all?

All of them

Were last seen With a friend.

True.

True.

Did you ever...

Yourself...

Have you ever

Been picked up In a bar?

Yeah.

You?

I'm trying now.

What?

How am I doing?

You're not there yet.

- come on. - no.

I haven't even done The personal anecdotes,

And show you What an interesting...

Sometimes Less is more.

Mystery is An aphrodisiac.

Okay, I wouldn't--

I wouldn't have gone with The personal anecdotes.

Hungry?

Uh-huh.

Would you like to go Get something to eat?

Sure.

How about we order up Some room service?

Excuse me?

We should order up Some room service.

- I thought You said that. - yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Here's what I got so far.

That redheaded guy That was on the prowl

In the lounge that night,

He checked out The next morning.

I got a call into his office In victoria.

How are you Making out

With the clothes?

I asked chick

To send them to the lab For a real good look.

What about these keys That the walker brought in?

I turned them over To ident,

But I don't see How they're connected.

Guy drops off the body, And drops his keys--

How does he drive home?

Check with The traffic squad.

See if they issued Any tickets

Or towed anybody away From the park.

What about This rapist

Who uses The carabonal?

It's a dead end so far.

If he's got a driver's license,

He's not using the name Dean resnick.

Last anybody heard of him,

He was taking a trip to ireland For his honeymoon.

Apparently, His wife's irish.

Great beer.

It's also an easy place To score some I.D.

They got a whole lot Of little boyos

Sitting around Over there in the pub

Just waiting to sell Their birth certificate For half a pint.

Next, you got some Colombian drug dealer

Sitting on his yacht Calling himself seamus murphy.

I think it's useless

To look at females 16 and 17 years old.

Not many of them Would get into bars.

Of course, just As I said that,

I realized I did it All the time When I was 16.

Me too. Only I used My sister's I.D.

And got in When I was 15.

I hope you like szechwan.

Yeah, yeah. I love it.

Look at this-- We got one.

A young woman strangled In a park in delta, b.C.

She had traces of carabonal In her system.

Delta's right next door To vancouver,

But it's A separate police force,

Separate Jurisdiction,

She was sexually assaulted And semen was recovered.

Would there be Dna from that?

It doesn't say.

Well, it wouldn't.

I mean, that would be In the police file.

We'll have to talk To the detective.

Eight months is pretty close To the bellingham killing.

Bother aren't Very far from here.

You know, I was thinking

We've been assuming

That the guy lives there And travels here,

But you could live here And travel down there.

I mean, you could make that run Down to san francisco

In a weekend, no problem.

The guy's a holiday killer.

I got a preliminary analysis On sandy whelan's clothes.

Oh, yeah?

Forensic geologist

Recovered some fraser river mud From the delta,

And a bit of straw.

Fraser river mud? Really?

Sandy flew in From calgary.

Having never Been here before,

She took a cab to the hotel.

The closest she ever came To the fraser was when She flew over it.

She had it to get it on her Somehow, huh?

Hey, what about those keys That the walker brought in?

Well, two of the keys Belong to a 1989 honda civic.

The other two keys

Are dead-bolt Door keys.

No visible prints.

And there's only a few people Who make glass eyes.

It's an art form, really.

And they all share Each other's work.

I'll find The artist.

Mal occhio.

What?

The evil eye.

So, I...

I left a message For that guy--

From delta--

I gave him my cell Phone number.

Can you believe There's two jurisdictions?

They're neighboring Each other...

What's happening?

I don't want To talk about work.

You don't?

What do you want To talk about?

[ telephone ringing ]

Ignore it.

Okay, okay.

Turner.

Oh, yes, sir.

No, I think There's a possible Case here.

I'll be there.

Where?

That was my supervisor.

I have to fly back To san francisco tonight.

Should I take you To the airport?

We still have A couple of hours.

Oh, man.

That's good. You remember me.

What do you want?

I talked to The other bartender.

He's got a real Good memory.

He tells me You were loaded

The night I'm trying To get you to remember.

Yeah, I had a few, okay? I got personal problems.

Well, that's a fact.

So you had a few drinks. What else?

What do you mean?

Well, you had to work,

You got to maintain.

How do you do that? A little blow, maybe?

You slide back here, Suck back a few lines, Have another drink,

Hell, you can Skate till closing Easy that way.

I still didn't see anything.

Donny said that he saw A redheaded guy.

- a redheaded guy? - yeah.

Yeah, there was A redheaded guy here.

Okay. Good.

Now, what about sandy?

I don't know.

They come and go.

They don't walk by me All the time.

Maybe she took the rear exit

To the parking Garage.

Well, that's not likely. She had a room upstairs.

Well, maybe she rented a car.

Okay.

Do they have video surveillance In the parking garage?

Yeah.

You know, phil,

That stuff will kill More than your memory--

Unless you're one of those guys Who just likes to talk about it.

I pulled a file

On a similar case In delta.

This is A sexual assault Victim here.

She had carabonal In her system.

They pulled a dna sample From semen of the guy That killed her.

It was a male?

Semen--that's usually A male sperm, sir.

Got anything else?

Her name was paula carrol, From edmonds, washington.

Delta faxed over The file.

Thanks.

- just doing my job. - hang on.

The dna on sandy whelan.

You went To a private lab?

That must have taken

- a bite out of The coffee money. - 1,800 bucks.
