Yeah, you too.

So the car was lighting up the sky and the bridge.

So the car was lighting up the sky and the bridge.

here pretty good. About 6 a.m..

Somebody called it in.

We arrived about ten after and after.

It took us a while to get it out.

Really?

Okay, here we go.

Yeah, It definetely Looks like male

Yeah, I think so.

You know, the car door like that could be.

The car was on fire and he was trying

to get out of the front seat or the back seat there.

Didn't quite make it.

They got plenty of warm in there, right?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

the tank didn■t blow? No.

So the fire does not start in the engine, did it?

So the fire does not start in the engine, did it?

It doesn't look like it.

I can't tell you what ignited it,

but I think I can tell you what fueled it.

From what I'm seeing.

Someone's doused the interior of the car with an accelerant.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Does. Hmm.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Does. Hmm.

I think that's probably a good guess.

Sense to me.

You guys open this door.

Oh, no, sir.

We just put it out.

Hey, how's it going? Hey.

We got here. Well, thanks.

Tell me about it.

It's an empty gas can in the back.

It's an empty gas can in the back.

There seems like a pretty obvious

source of the accelerant.

Is the box of matches on the ground there.

Is the box of matches on the ground there.

Right under our feet.

Yeah, That's the greater cause of the water.

Don't worry about looking like a homicide.

All right? Yeah.

All right? Yeah.

We're getting the owner off the plate yet

He 62 registered owners.

Phillip Wilkins. Is that.

Phillip Wilkins. Is that.

What? Is that? Right?

Is that the case? Yeah, just me. Like a pool.

Cue keys in the ignition.

No, those are back here in the trunk

Look at that...

The one key. Wow.

The one key. Wow.

The firewall kept that fire contained pretty good.

Yeah.

So I can see it Looks like someone doused the car seats

and maybe this guy with gas from that can, I guess

and maybe this guy with gas from that can, I guess

I got

another scene to attend, so I'll leave it with you guys.

another scene to attend, so I'll leave it with you guys.

You're okay here.

You know the key in the lock like that?

Somebody parked the car, comes around over

Somebody parked the car, comes around over

the truck, takes up out, forgets the key in the lock.

It was the gas can that was back here.

Yeah, well, we should get the chicks to down here.

Yeah, well, we should get the chicks to down here.

Lock it up tight.

Since you guys have probably destroyed any evidence.

It's all over the ground here.

Yeah, well,

you know,

you try to be neat,

but sometimes you just got to get the fire out.

Okay, So curled up in a fetal position,

you see that quite a bit in fires,

muscles, contract,

pulls the arms and fists up into a pugilist position,

and it looks like he's praying.

and it looks like he's praying.

You know, whoever picked this spot did it on purpose.

This car would get a chance to be burned really good before

This car would get a chance to be burned really good before

you guys could come and put it out. This

car makes it pretty good.

Incinerator, if you got to get rid of something, huh?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You know, when I was a kid,

we had one of those incinerators in our basement.

It's always dark down there, and I'd

have to take the garbage down

have to take the garbage down

that incinerator to sit in there.

That little pilot

laying under it, burning up the garbage in whoosh

laying under it, burning up the garbage in whoosh

and it go up just like it was evening.

And we were going through the warehouse with the dogs

sniffing for dope, the dogs and all that.

No, she's only good for adult use me.

No, she's only good for adult use me.

You could smell it.

Yeah, I knew what it was.

Found a stow away in a container before Now.

It's been out here for a couple of days

waiting for us to get down here and give a clearing. Right.

waiting for us to get down here and give a clearing. Right.

Smell it now.

Hey, what do we got

there

now I didn't check her for I.D.

or anything. I'm sorry.

I think I'll do is I'll phone that forensics unit,

come down here, and I can just pick the whole thing right up,

It's definitely wrong.

I want the paperwork,

shipping, billing, all that I need that

shipping, billing, all that I need that

it got shipped out of Portland, Oregon.

Oh, yeah. I need to see the paperwork.

The warehouse keepers got to get this office

The warehouse keepers got to get this office

She■s just a kid.

I can't say for certain

if he was doused with an accelerant set on fire,

but that's most likely what happened.

We think the accelerant was gasoline.

We found a can in the back there.

Yeah, it could be gas.

Yeah, it could be gas.

I'll be able to tell you for sure when I get a report

on his clothes back from the lab.

Any way of knowing if he was still alive when he got on fire?

Any way of knowing if he was still alive when he got on fire?

Well, I'm not see any signs of trauma other than the burning.

So he might've been alive? Yeah.

I may be able to tell you

I may be able to tell you

after I've had a look at the lung tissue,

but you wanna take a look at this?

It was on his wrists. It was right roof. Look at that.

It was on his wrists. It was right roof. Look at that.

So we like that nylon stuff.

And yellow probably proves something.

Burn to his skin.

It looks like it could have been on both wrists and his ankles.

It was tied up and burnt alive.

Pretty unpleasant ending for this one.

Have we got an identity

where the car was registered to a guy named Phillip Wilkins?

But who this guy is? We don't know.

We couldn't get any idea off him.

Well, whoever

he is, he's not wearing his dentures,

so finding him that way is not happening.

He's not wearing his teeth.

No, of course he could fallen out during the fire.

I better call the guy to the garage.

I better call the guy to the garage.

Don't you keep an eye out for those.

Let us know when the autopsy report is finished.

Were you happy with the innocent? Yeah. You

want to do something special for dinner tonight?

Maybe just pick up.

Maybe just pick up.

Nice. Well, what do you care?

I might be a little late getting home from work

because I stopped by the insurance garage.

Well, what happened Now?

It looks like some kids or somebody

took a key to the side of my car.

I■ll get us a nice bottle of red, yeah?

Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

And Phil's going away.

The music is going to collect his mail.

He didn't ask.

He didn't ask.

So does Mr. Wilkins go away a lot?

Reno, Vegas, Once or twice a year.

But it was the last time you saw him.

The day before yesterday.

Passed him in the hall on the way out.

You say anything about where he was going?

You say anything about where he was going?

No, just packed and went

Was he alone when he left here?

Yeah, Just him...

Yeah, Just him...

Know what Mr. Wilkins does for a living?

Is a professional pool player good enough to earn a living?

I guess you got a girlfriend hanging around? a family?

Anybody like that?

No, that I know of.

No, that I know of.

There was a woman I used to see him with,

but not for a couple of months.

You know this woman's name?

No. She works at one of the building places I heard him say.

Anyway, here we go.

It's okay.

We got it from here.

Thanks a lot.

Okay.

I found that cute case in the car.

That fits with the car belonging to Wilkins.

That fits with the car belonging to Wilkins.

Yeah.

It's open...

There's somebody been in here, Mr. Wilkins.

Need some tidy up lessons.

What does that look like? Blood.

I wish for once if somebody's going to kill somebody,

that they would do it in one spot,

not just a little bit on this end of town.

A little bit on the other end of the town.

You know what I mean? Just like make up your mind.

You know what I mean? Just like make up your mind.

Remember memo, you. Yeah.

Keep your crime scene contained.

Looks like mostly bills on the floor here.

Hey, look who we got here.

Hey, look who we got here.

Gee, there's no wallet in the clothing.

Doesn't appear to have anything at all in her pocket.

Doesn't appear to have anything at all in her pocket.

All these nails, they're all

broken and torn, extensive bleeding underneath the nails.

broken and torn, extensive bleeding underneath the nails.

Well, it matches up

with some scratches on the inside of the truck.

You can take a look.

You can take a look.

Oh, yeah.

She's trying to get out, maybe claw her way out.

So that's all the stuff that was under with her?

Yeah, that's

where she sure an apartment, water, candy wrappers.

where she sure an apartment, water, candy wrappers.

Hey, you know, you can't get that brand in Canada.

That's nuts. And car lot.

That's nuts. And car lot.

That was a treat When I used to go to the States as a kid.

I used to smuggle them back.

Yeah, Austrian bottle.

Yeah, Austrian bottle.

So she really made a plan

on a trip here where something went wrong.

Gateway is empty, and it's definitely light.

Well, assuming there's no problem with the tank,

I guess if you were careful and concerned

that oxygen would last you eight, 10 hours,

you know,

so she obviously expected to be out of there before that.

so she obviously expected to be out of there before that.

Could run out. Guaranteed.

Now, man, okay.

She lost herself in the trunk. She's got her food,

she's got her water, she's got her air.

she's got her water, she's got her air.

And what she expects is to arrive

safely somewhere, which is here, Vancouver.

And for someone to meet her,

And for someone to meet her,

I guess, and arrive, you're safe and sound.

And that's it

Sounds to me like she got into this

voluntarily of her own free will.

voluntarily of her own free will.

Never shouldn't lock herself in this truck. Did she?

And then nobody showed up to let her out.

Okay.

But unless autopsy tells me there's some evidence of

foul play, this looks like it's tipping your way.

Thanks, Patricia. Thanks a lot.

So this is what you are Houdini going, huh?

Yeah, Like one of those Elvis impersonators.

That doesn't quite work.

Yeah, but it's just

one of those Elvis impersonator like an Elvis.

one of those Elvis impersonator like an Elvis.

No, no, I just got a loose filling of.

Dr. Mears Please.

Dr. Mears Please.

Leo Shannon, I'm calling about a patient.

My wife, Lana.

Thanks for

Thanks for

all. Hi, Dr. Mears.

Thanks for taking the call.

Oh, no, no, I'm fine.

Oh, no, no, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm just a little concerned about Nana.

No, I don't think she's getting any worse.

I mean, she still is pretty confused

about knowing who some people are.

about knowing who some people are.

It's just that she's got a

all of a sudden a ton of energy, like she's ten years younger

and I'm having a little trouble keeping up with her.

no, she's

she's got this new thing where she wants to go

walking in the middle of the night.

And I can't let her go out alone.

And I can't let her go out alone.

It's just I come home at night and I find her waiting for me,

It's just I come home at night and I find her waiting for me,

you know, just in the window, waiting.

And I can't stand knowing that she needs me like that.

And I can't stand knowing that she needs me like that.

Look, I'm going to have to call you back, okay?

Look, I'm going to have to call you back, okay?

Got a bit of an emergency in here.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

In our interview?

In our interview?

Yeah, fine.

So, according to your bill of lading here...

So, according to your bill of lading here...

Mr. Grasso, you were.

This trunk was part of a load you picked up in Portland,

Oregon, at 5:00 in the morning on Friday. Right?

Oregon, at 5:00 in the morning on Friday. Right?

Right, Right.

Now, you're supposed to arrive in Vancouver with this load

by noon on Friday.

But it says here you didn't check into that binding

warehouse until after 1:00 in the morning.

What happened? That's 13 hours late.

What happened? That's 13 hours late.

Yeah, it happens like that.

Sometimes it doesn't.

What would you mind explain to my associate and myself

What would you mind explain to my associate and myself

how it is?

It happened that way this time.

Okay, well, let's see.

First of all, I'm pulling out of the yard

there in Portland, and right away

I have this hydraulic problem, so I got to change rakes.

Then I get onto the I-5 and I run into this roadblock

Then I get onto the I-5 and I run into this roadblock

because this tractor

trailer is overturned and there's a pile of high five.

I've been cutting a few of those in my time.

I've been cutting a few of those in my time.

Yeah, 3 hours lost there.

So I hit Seattle and I pull off the freeway for dinner.

Then I can't get back onto the freeway

because of construction.

It's all structural.

So the way around that, now it's rush hour.

So the way around that, now it's rush hour.

So I crawl through that and I get to the way in.

There's a line up there.

I finally hit the border and traffic's jammed up

I finally hit the border and traffic's jammed up

all the way to Blaine, the border.

I can be a bitch.

How long at the border? Forever.

How long at the border? Forever.

Which is how a seven hour trip takes 20 hours.

Are we done here?

Are we done?

Are we done? Yeah, we're done.

Thanks for coming back. Right.

Thanks for coming back. Right.

You know, I just put a two hour delay

on my return trip coming in here.

You see what I mean?

Like I said, thanks.

Like I said, thanks.

So, what did the shipping bill say about the arrival?

Time was guaranteed delivery by 6:00 pm Friday.

Right.

So she was

counting on arriving in time to get out of the trunk.

Time is everything.

She couldn't get out by herself.

Houdini could do it.

In a matter of fact, it did have an act involving a trunk.

We do have He'd have himself all tied up

and chained up in that trunk and then presto like that

and chained up in that trunk and then presto like that

He's out of there.

That's why he went to the more dangerous elements

you add added to his act, because it looked too easy.

you add added to his act, because it looked too easy.

So he submerged herself in water.

Now he's buried alive. Great.

Houdini was my absolute hero when I was a boy.

If I ever tell you that it's a matter of fact,

the school needs to say what are going to be when you grow up.

the school needs to say what are going to be when you grow up.

Time and again I used to go escape artist.

No kidding.

Yeah, that's true, silly.

Well, there's still time.

Well, there's still time.

He making fun of Houdini.

He making fun of Houdini.

Oh, hello.

Oh, hello.

I'm from the coroner's service, sir. Hi.

How can I help you?

Are you Mr. Darryl Morris? Oh, right.

And were you expecting a delivery from Nolan

moving his storage, by any chance? No indication.

moving his storage, by any chance? No indication.

Oh, you know anybody down in Portland, Oregon?

Portland Motel and all, huh?

Portland Motel and all, huh?

Do you know this woman, sir?

Know who she is?

Know who she is?

Do you live alone?

Do you still work?

Do you still work?

I work

So when you go to work or go out during the day?

Well, yeah, I am.

What's all this about?

When I have a few questions

tomorrow, if I come inside and ask them? Sure!.

Come on. Thanks.

Sunny matched up the false teeth

we found in Wilkins apartment with the victim.

Definitely felt Wilkins as the burn man.

Definitely felt Wilkins as the burn man.

And we also found his blood on the apartment floor.

So you're thinking that Wilkins grabbed from his apartment,

So you're thinking that Wilkins grabbed from his apartment,

then you ain't going to happen that way.

Yeah, well, considering how he ended up burned with his car,

I think we can assume that Mr.

Wilkins is in some kind of trouble.

Well, we know he had money problems.

We found bank statements, bills, mostly overdue

We found bank statements, bills, mostly overdue

collection agency threats.

I didn't have a pot to pitch in,

and they were trying to take that away from him.

He should have just sent him a pound of flesh.

They used to come after my dad, handed him some fierce.

Well, I think we can

eliminate the collection agencies as a suspect.

What else?

Family, friends.

What do they have to say about him? About?

Supposedly he had a girlfriend some time ago.

Supposedly he had a girlfriend some time ago.

She might know something. We're tracking her down.

Oh, where are we on the actual fire?

Any forensically objects? Still working on the car.

Any forensically objects? Still working on the car.

Okay, well, let me know. Okay.

So you settling in okay?

Yes. Thank you.

I've just been going over the young lady

who died in the trunk.

Yeah.

Are you absolutely sure she died here in the West?

Are you absolutely sure she died here in the West?

Oh, I'm pretty sure she died here,

because, I mean, if she died south of the border,

then she's, in fact, that we don't know.

She died south of the border.

We think that she died up here in the warehouse.

So she had enough oxygen with her.

So she had enough oxygen with her.

For how long?

Thanks, 8 to 10 hours.

And the trip take seven.

Except in her case, where the trip took 20 hours, correct?

Well, yeah, yeah, give or take.

And according to this bill of lading,

she was already in the warehouse in Portland.

she was already in the warehouse in Portland.

So the question is,

how long was she sitting there

before they loaded onto the truck?

before they loaded onto the truck?

So the idea here is that you would have preferred

her to have died in the United States.

I prefer not to have died at all.

But here she is. And here we are.

So what is all this is like part of your cost

cutting mandate or something? I understand.

No, this is all part of focusing

our energy very best serves our interests. Meaning what?

I've already ordered the autopsies. No big savings there.

I've already ordered the autopsies. No big savings there.

Meaning you can pull the plug in your investigation,

ship her back.

Ship her back. You know what?

Ship her back. You know what?

I could save you a few more bucks

if I can send you back in the same box she arrives.

if I can send you back in the same box she arrives.

It was likely to do that.

No. I'd like you to call the coroner in Portland

and tell them to expect a body.

Okay.

Back over the border. She go.

Thank you.

Right.

Found nine matchsticks in the back seat areas.

Some on the seat itself and some of the floorboards.

And they're all carbonized by the fire.

These would be the matches that started the fire.

I know.

That's the interesting part, that it took eight

or so of these to ignite the fire.

All right. So where's this going?

Well, I'm not sure,

but it was a box of wood matches outside the car as well.

Yeah, that's right.

And those matches came from this match box.

Oh, good.

You get prints off the matchbox now?

Nothing recognizable, but you can see where

I'm getting that. You know what?

I'll somebody have to stand outside

the car, ignite matches and toss them in to the fire.

the car, ignite matches and toss them in to the fire.

Good.

Okay, so. So wet gas don't like

the fumes at night.

And even so, you got to get the right mixture

of air and fumes to get ignition now.

Okay, So you want to show me how far you can throw a match

Okay, So you want to show me how far you can throw a match

right here? Sure.

Not over here.

My time

Stand about there.

About eight, ten feet away.

Go ahead.

Toss it.

Toss it.

Okay. Hey, you got to get a little closer there.

All right, Feet.

All right, Feet.

Good. Now try it with a lit match.

Light it up now

and try to get a closer

watch.

Now, remember, we're counting on a still night

with no win.

with no win.

Kaboom! Okay, So?

So I'm saying

if you're standing this close, you just got burn it.

if you're standing this close, you just got burn it.

Well, that's obvious, right? Right.

So maybe some hospital

I can remember some guy coming in that morning

complaining they use too much barbecue

fluids, grilling up his breakfast.

fluids, grilling up his breakfast.

They don't want her.

Who doesn't want him?

Portland, Whodini, girl in the trunk.

Portland, Whodini, girl in the trunk.

They don't want her by the air.

By their accounts, she died here.

All right, I'll look into it.

All right, I'll look into it.

Did she have any I.D.? No.

But with your permission,

I would like to deliver the trunk.

How do you mean?

How do you mean?

Well, if I deliver the trunk

to the address, number of lady will stick a uniform on it.

You see who picked it up.

You see who picked it up.

But as long as

the body stays in the morgue, I have no objection.

All right.

Thank you.

He was a regular, I should say.

When was the last time you saw him?

Last time I saw Phil was night before last.

He was playing at a table down there.

What was your relationship with him?

Come back when my husband's

Come back when my husband's

not standing behind me and I'll tell you.

Okay.

So you saw the night before last.

Remember what time it was?

Remember what time it was?

Bobby, Let's go.

Now, Remember what time Phil was in the other night?

Who's asking? Vancouver Homicide.

We're investigating the death of Phil Wilkins.

Oh, yeah. Okay. That's about midnight.

Oh, yeah. Okay. That's about midnight.

A little before and maybe a little later.

Was he in a game?

Yeah, I think he was tapped out. Wrong.

Yeah, I think he was tapped out. Wrong.

So we left mention where he was headed after that?

Not to me.

You know, he's a regular player here, though, was he?

You know, he's a regular player here, though, was he?

Oh, yeah. Every day.

He likes the action here.

Oh, yeah?

What kind of action would that be?

What kind of action would that be?

A nine ball hustle.

A few games, $20 games, mostly. Nothing big time.

I think he used to be a player then, but according to him,

I didn't think he had that hot again kind of guy.

Was Phil okay, this is Phil.

Was Phil okay, this is Phil.

You say you used to drive a delivery truck.

He'll tell you he used to drive an 18 wheeler.

He say, I didn't know you were short order cook.

He say, I didn't know you were short order cook.

He'll tell you about being a chef in some fancy hotel.

You know, that kind of guy always did your job

You know, that kind of guy always did your job

bigger and better.

So the game the other night, everything turned on.

The rumor that he lost, like I said, sort of dispute over

anything like that.

Nothing that I know.

What about the guy he was playing with?

What do you know about him, Jimmy?

Something young kid. Pretty good. Stay.

You know where we could find?

Yeah.

$50 net number two table over there.

And he'll be here in about 5 minutes.

And he'll be here in about 5 minutes.

Mr. Step.

Mr. Davis, I thought it was you.

Nice to see you.

How you maken out?

Holden on...

Holden on...

Okay,

So what can I do for you? See?

To come to see me, right?

Yeah.

I was hoping I could get a copy of your autopsy

findings on my daughter's death.

Yeah, Okay.

Yeah, Okay.

I don't see any reason why not.

Any particular thing you're looking for?

I can help you with.

I can help you with.

It's just not sitting right with me

that it was ruled an accidental death.

I mean, all this business about her being attacked,

skating on cocaine

and not being able to get out of the house

because of the smoke, you know,

because of the smoke, you know,

the smoke in that house, it's just not that significant.

I know, Mr. Seven.

I know.

Look, I'm going to do this for you

because I like I'm going to get you every file

because I like I'm going to get you every file

the coroner's service has on your daughter's death.

If you do one little thing for me in return,

if I can, it's all I ask you.

Go and see the grief counselor.

I appreciate that. Okay. I'll take that as a yes.

How long can I see it?

For a second.

Why are you coming with me?

I'll get my associate to help us out.

We'll get you everything we have.

I retrieve some stuff from the trunk of the car.

I thought you guys better take a look.

We got rope falling from a can.

We just bind your victim?

I think we got about four yards of it coiled up

I think we got about four yards of it coiled up

the price tag was still on it

But I was unable to make out this door.

So maybe this rope was bought

specifically for the abduction

specifically for the abduction

OK...So that means what?

Did they go to the guy's apartment,

pick him up,

take him down in his own car, drive him over there,

take him down in his own car, drive him over there,

spark them on fire, and then take off again.

It seems like two guys, two vehicles, two vehicles.

But what, they bring the rope in this car,

there's there's there's no evidence of a second

vehicle at the scene,

but maybe they could've left on foot,

had the other vehicles there somewhere else.

What else you got?

I found his wallet and in the front seat,

they could have fell down while he was driving.

they could have fell down while he was driving.

So I'll burn anything we can use in there at all.

Know there's no cash or credit cards,

but I found his ATM card for his bank,

but I found his ATM card for his bank,

and I was able to get the bank account number.

I'm okay. Thanks.

Very.

Yeah.

Australia. Yeah.

I will swing by and pick up

how much I just gave you Money.

how much I just gave you Money.

$100. Helen.

Well, sweetheart, you know, $100.

I don't think I have anywhere like 100.

I got $80 here. Okay?

I just went to Helen.

I just went to Helen.

Oh, hang on.

I Gabriella's going to Seattle

for the weekend, and she's a little short,

and let me 20 bucks and I can give her a hundred.

Yeah, okay. She says yes.

Just come by and pick it up.

I'll give it to Helen, then I'll get you back.

Now, listen, get

quick.

I'm the bonding warehouse called

What's the trunk?

Yeah, I want you down there.

We searched the whole warehouse.

This one must have got separated

and shuffled to the back somehow.

Did you open it this time to not in touch at this time.

Just recognize that smell again.

Okay. That's good.

Okay. That's good.

They ship the same address to

10 minutes max

before Bobby gets back and start telling me where I am.

What? What happened to Phil?

What? What happened to Phil?

And pretty soon you discover our fling.

And I didn't want that to come up to my husband,

And I didn't want that to come up to my husband,

because we have a pretty good thing going on.

Despite the thing with Phil in me.

Yeah, well, right there,

A jealous husband.

Which you're sure as hell seems to be.

I was hoping you could avoid that coming out.

Well, there was a guy that night, Jimmy.

I don't really think Jimmy did it. Please.

That's just a for me to know if he doesn't have to know.

But you better be ready to come clean with your husband,

because we're going to be asking

him some questions, and probably sooner than later.

Do you have any women friends you know about?

If he did, I don't think they had anything

to do with the killing.

to do with the killing.

Why would you say that?

Phil was a hustler.

If he was hustling you, you would know it.

Know what I'm saying

you think Phil could have gotten himself into a bad game where

somebody might have wanted to kill him?

Maybe he made somebody mad.

People like to be hussled

People like to be hussled

I don't do anything except drive truck.

Come on.

So nobody arranged for you

to make a special pickup of these trucks?

They were in the rig when I picked it up.

I mean, they had to have been in the rig when I picked it up.

So you're sticking to the same story

then, about what happened in the same story?

Yeah, sticking to it. Same story.

Okay. Okay.

You saw nothing, Hankie.

Nobody hanging around that truck down there.

And when he got up here to Canada,

Nobody suspicious? No, sir.

Nobody suspicious? No, sir.

What if I were to suggest that you were involved

in people smuggling on a regular basis?

I'd have to say you were wrong.

I'd have to say you were wrong.

I would never do anything like that.

I don't even like to put my cat in a cage. Cat?

Cat?

And there's Phil 10 minutes before

And there's Phil 10 minutes before

A couple more guys get out of there.

There's Phil again

at 3 minutes after midnight, taking out his limit again.

I don't see anybody holding a gun to his head.

Maybe when he left Jessica's Joint looking for a new game.

Maybe when he left Jessica's Joint looking for a new game.

Maybe we should be looking at Jessica's old man.

I mean, she thought she was being so discreet.

His friend Jimmy thought Phil was being so discreet.

His friend Jimmy thought Phil was being so discreet.

Maybe they were all being too damn discreet.

You know, sometimes

when two people act so cool to each other

that they don't know the other one exists,

that could be a sign.

I'm going to go call Jessica.

Tell her we■ll swing by to talk to the old man.

Yeah.

Oh, hello. You again. Again.

Nobody came for the trunk.

Nobody came for the trunk.

No, I know. I can see that. Well, we'll take care of that.

young man.

Nah, have some more bad luck did you?

So you

you can identify either of these two people at all.

You don't know who might have sent you

a couple of trunks from Portland, Oregon.

No sir.

Don't, certainly don■t

I just remember

what Phil told me about two days before he died.

And what's out here?

He asked me to help work an insurance scam.

He asked me to help work an insurance scam.

I asked him what the problem was,

and he said he needed an extra money

to get him through the tight spot.

You kind of scam?

You kind of scam?

he didn■t say.

He said you're in or out.

He's careful that way.

Yeah.

So what you say?

I said ■no, I wouldn■t do it■

You should ask somebody else.

You should ask somebody else.

He just thought about it for a while, nodded

his head, said he was sorry

for asking, and said maybe he'd ask Dave.

Who's Dave?

Well, the only Dave I can think of

is a Dave who plays over at the hall

in Hastings. Pretty good game. Tough to get in. Okay.

in Hastings. Pretty good game. Tough to get in. Okay.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Well, I just remember.

Honestly, I just remember.

Honestly, I just remember.

Look, I know it just looks like I'm trying

to get you to not talk to Bobby, but really,

you don't have to talk to me, do you ever do?

And he had enough oxygen with him. For how long?

And he had enough oxygen with him. For how long?

8 to 10 hours,

just like her.

So I'm kind of in a quandary here.

What to do? Should I call Portland's?

See if I can coerce them into taking the two

No, that won't be necessary.

No, that won't be necessary.

Thank you.

Carry on.

The night he died, he called me, Came over here.

As a matter of fact, he offered me

a grand on the tiny opening pool debt?.

Yeah, that's right.

He wanted to get a chairman upstairs here

and needed my okay to get in because

nobody would let him play anymore in the big games.

You wouldn't give him the. Okay.

It was just me, all right?

I mean, I like Phil.

He's a good guy, but

I can't take him into a game where I got to make some money.

I can't take him into a game where I got to make some money.

I mean, what if it ends up him and me in the shootout?

He already owes me. Can't pay me.

I'm working for nothing.

No. Where he went after he left you here or what?

No, I don't.

No, I don't.

He offered me an IOU.

I said no, I already got one he can't come up on.

So he said he'd give me his insurance claim.

So he said he'd give me his insurance claim.

What do you mean by that?

Well, he was talking about stealing his own car

Well, he was talking about stealing his own car

for the insurance.

Something. I don't know. He had it all worked out.

He said it was the perfect scam.

Yeah, what■d you say to that?

I said, okay, do whatever,

but I can't let you in the tournament.

I mean, I got to eat.

I mean, I got to eat.

So, how■d he die?

What?

There's something I want you to take a look

at it.

Go ahead.

I think they are brother and sister,

brother and sister.

Oh, boy.

I see what you mean.

I see what you mean.

Brother and sister. Now, wow.

You want me to do the test?

Yeah, I found this.

The bottom of the trunk is just a straight

piece of electrical wire. Readily available anywhere.

Any hardware store scrap from a construction site.

Any hardware store scrap from a construction site.

So he's inside the trunk,

and he somehow loses the wire and it falls

and he somehow loses the wire and it falls

to the bottom of the trunk, and he can't get a hold of it.

When it was pressed up in his butt

but he might not have been able to reach it. Yeah.

but he might not have been able to reach it. Yeah.

Because he's he's lost oxygen, so he's disoriented.

Okay.

Whatever.

Whatever.

So that's how this works.

You got these two phony latches here and outside.

They look legit, but they don't do anything.

They look legit, but they don't do anything.

The real latches holding the chocolate closed are inside.

Here we can get a hold of.

Except for what?

About the padlock latch in the front?

And that's an illusion, too. Yeah.

You see the whole world in here?

Oh, yeah.

When you take the wire,

we showed up through the hole and pop the latch on the lock.

And that releases

And that releases

a latch with the padlock and, you know, match these two

soft on the left.

Of course, unless the something piled on top of it.

Of course, unless the something piled on top of it.

Exactly. It's in the back of the truck.

There's stuff loaded on top more than likely.

Right? Right.

So you tried it?

Yeah, I tried it.

It got inside Pops like a car door. So?

It got inside Pops like a car door. So?

So saw this guy and his girl want to get the hell

out of the country?

They decide on Canada, so they climb into the trucks,

get delivered to the warehouse like that.

This guy in this trunk, he's

the one I'm supposed to get out

first, and then the other one out... They■re brother and siste

That's what we think. Oh, no. Identify him.

That's what we think. Oh, no. Identify him.

No, no, no. No names.

Probably from Mexico.

I almost made it.

Almost made it...

So let's say

I want to sell the insurance company on the car theft, right?

I decide to steal the car myself, burn it,

and concoct a story about being attacked in my own place,

taken down to a bank machine, forced to withdraw money

and driven off into the middle of nowhere, tied up

gasoline poured all over me and I'm sparked on fire.

gasoline poured all over me and I'm sparked on fire.

Except I get away right in the nick of time

right before the whole car goes up,

including all the evidence of the fictitious gang and the

including all the evidence of the fictitious gang and the

kidnaping.

Well, that's a stretch, but okay,

he tied himself up and then what?

he tied himself up and then what?

so then he's

down there under the bridge right where we found him.

He gets out of the car, comes around the back

into the trunk, pulls out the rope and the gas.

Yeah.

Except he leaves the keys in the trunk

because, I don't know, maybe he forgets

because, I don't know, maybe he forgets

and he goes up back to the side of the car, ties himself up.

Then he's pouring gasoline all over the inside of the car.

Then he's pouring gasoline all over the inside of the car.

Like you said, he's got the matches,

but the car won't light up

and he's hogtied because he wants to be tied up

in case anybody comes to quick fire.

Yeah, right.

So he's hopping in, tossing matches,

getting closer, hopping in, toss matches. Finally he goes up,

getting closer, hopping in, toss matches. Finally he goes up,

burns him right down to a crisp on the spot.

They want to find.

Yeah, Yeah.

That plays. Good.

not a homicide accidental.

What?

What does pathology have to say?

They're buying it.

Accidental self-immolation looks like.

Okay, we're going to kick this one over to Davinci

Yeah, Yeah.

Make sure the press knows we're about the case, not him.
