Okay, we've got makeup, a set of Keys, and a hairbrush.

No wallet and no money.

So what's the story?

A mugging, a robbery, but no Visible injury?

Well, if this is her purse...

Well, it could be she was beaten

And the bruises didn't have time To develop

And the bruises didn't have time To develop

Because she died instantly.

Right. Okay. Well, we can call Forensics,

And get a canvass started in the Meantime.

And get a canvass started in the Meantime.

See you, winston.

About him being just a native Militant.

About him being just a native Militant.

Don't get me wrong here.

I want to see something about The drug treatment centers.

I want to see something about The drug treatment centers.

Tom hill?

Oh, I couldn't believe it.

Yeah...

Yeah...

So have you got anything for me Yet?

Well, uh, I asked sunny to give Me a hand

With the autopsy.

With the autopsy.

There were a few Inconsistencies,

And I wanted to make sure of What I was seeing.

What's inconsistent?

Take a look. You'll see.

Take a look. You'll see.

Okay, here we go.

You can see on this x-ray

He has a fairly serious subdural Hematoma.

And you think that's caused by His head whacking the pavement?

Sure, sure.

Uh, take a look here at his Femur here.

That's a nasty fracture, eh?

That's a nasty fracture, eh?

Both legs were fractured pretty Much the same way,

But, uh, this one here, on this Leg,

The fracture lacerated his Femoral artery.

That's a major artery.

Uh-huh. It is.

Oh, so you're thinking now he Bled out internally,

And that's what caused the Death?

Yeah, we both think Exsanguination

Is what finally killed him.

But there's a question with That.

But there's a question with That.

We're both pretty sure

He was already lying face-down In the road

When the car ran over his legs.

Take a look at the leg fracture.

It's compression, not shear.

That means the artery got cut

From the wheels rolling over his Legs.

Right. That's why you think he Was not standing up

Right when the car hit him?

That's right, that's right,

And the tread marks on the back Of the jeans

Are consistent with him lying Face-down.

Are consistent with him lying Face-down.

Chick's going to analyze those And get an answer to us.

We're both in agreement

That he was already down when That car hit him.

We just don't agree on the Nature of his injuries.

Most of the wounds were caused By scraping the asphalt,

Most of the wounds were caused By scraping the asphalt,

But, uh, these others here,

The cuts above the eyebrow, the Split lip,

Also the bruising on the Forearm,

Also the bruising on the Forearm,

Sunny doesn't think those are From the road.

We usually see injuries like That

We usually see injuries like That

As a result of being hit with an Object.

So you think he was hit by an Object

Before he got hit by the car.

The bruising on the forearms

The bruising on the forearms

Suggests defensive wounds.

You don't agree?

I can't rule it out

That those injuries weren't from The road.

Okay, well, I'm going to need Something more definitive.

I mean... Everybody's calling Us.

Like, this is a major thing.

Yeah, yeah. Uh, in my opinion, The subdural hematoma happened

As a result of falling down in The road,

And the cuts above the eye

And the cuts above the eye

The split lip, the bruising,

Were also caused by the road.

And in my opinion,

Those cuts, the bruising,

Those cuts, the bruising,

The blow to the head,

Occurred before he was run over.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Well, I'm not seeing

Any obvious external injuries, Either.

No blood anywhere.

Any sign of a wallet?

Any sign of a wallet?

Nope. Maybe you want to come up Here

And try digging around.

No, no, no. Forget it.

We're not climbing in there. That's your job.

We're not climbing in there. That's your job.

What does the autopsy say?

Autopsy says

That he was hit over the head With something,

And then he got run over,

And then he got run over,

But he was already lying Face-down

Right there in the street.

So you combine that

With what the witness is saying

About two cops

Putting him in the back of their Police cruiser,

The fact the hit and run took Place

Way the hell out there in ubc,

And how tom might have got there From where he was last seen,

Which was in an alley

"That indian there, tom hill.

"Let's just give him a good Tune-up,

"Let's just give him a good Tune-up,

And let's get him out of the Area for a while."

And a long walk home without Your shoes on.

To make sure there's no evidence Of tom hill

In the back seat there--

Hairs, fibers, that kind of Thing.

Fine with us. We've got nothing To hide.

All right.

Sanchez was a member.

Probably works for zack in Traffic.

No, I haven't been able to find Anything

No, I haven't been able to find Anything

That says tom hill was in this Car or under it--

No soft crush damage,

Nothing to link this car to the Hit and run.

Nothing to link this car to the Hit and run.

Well, there wouldn't be any soft Crush damage,

'cause the car didn't hit him.

He was already lying on the Ground then.

Okay, but there's no blood Anywhere under the carriage,

Nothing on the wheels, no Fibers, no skin.

What about the tire impressions On the back of his jeans?

The tire impressions on the Denim

Don't match the tire treads on This vehicle here.

Not even close?

Whatever vehicle made the marks On the pants

Whatever vehicle made the marks On the pants

Had a different tread pattern Than this vehicle.

So miller and colezak were Telling the truth.

They didn't run him over.

Well, unless they flipped the Tires around,

But there's no indication of That.

These wheel nuts haven't been Touched recently.

These wheel nuts haven't been Touched recently.

That still doesn't mean

They didn't tune him up

And leave him on the ground for Somebody else to run over.

Okay, but where's the evidence For that?

Well, what about that, uh, story

About the girlfriend's Apartment?

Did that check out?

Did that check out?

Yeah, we talked to her.

She's backing up what they said.

Colezak was moving his stuff Out.

It doesn't look like

We've got anything on these two Guys.

Unless you want to bring your Witness forward

And let us talk to him.

I'll have to see

What he has to say to that.

What he has to say to that.

You said this wouldn't come back On me.

Now, hang on, hang on, okay?

Just answer me one question.

Did two uniforms put tom hill in The back of their cruiser

In this alley here?

Yeah, I told you that's what Happened.

Okay, well, here's my problem, Okay?

The two detectives looking into This

Have not been able to turn up Any evidence

To say that this ever happened At all.

You, my friend, are the only Evidence,

You, my friend, are the only Evidence,

So unless you can convince them Of that,

At this point, there's nothing I Can do.

At this point, there's nothing I Can do.

Do you have any idea what you're Doing to me?

I've got no other choice,

Unless you want to see this Whole thing slide,

Unless you want to see this Whole thing slide,

And tom's death go unquestioned.

Okay?

Okay, so where are these two Detectives who...

You say the word, my friend,

And I'll call them, okay?

You want me to show them what Happened.

We'd bust him. He'd be out in a Week.

One night, my partner and I Caught him coming down the alley

With a couple of toasters,

So we decided to give him a Message

About leaving the neighborhood.

We drove him all the way out Just east of hope,

And dropped him off without his Shoes or his pants.

We thought it was pretty funny.

Now I'm just glad it was in the Summer

And not the middle of the Winter,

Like happened to those indians Out on the prairies.

Like happened to those indians Out on the prairies.

You know what they call it in Regina?

On account of all the stars you Can see

On your walk back into town.

Was the guy a native?

Okay, then those two police Officers,

They get out of the car,

And they keep on talking--

Was anybody saying anything loud Or confrontational?

I don't know.

Maybe somebody said something Quiet and confrontational.

Why would you say that?

Because they grabbed him and They threw him in their car.

They didn't, uh, try and Handcuff him,

Try and search him, nothing like That?

From doing drugs.

More than likely, he had a load On that night.

Who were playing hockey that Night,

Which, given tom's personality,

Which, given tom's personality,

You know, he's going to fight Back,

But it's two on one, so he's not Stupid,
