Where is this call?

Stanley park.

There's something
About that place

That annoys me.

Can't make up its mind.

It's halfway
Between a wilderness and a park.

I know.

I used to love that zoo
When I was a kid.

Now I find it kind of sad.

Yeah.

You want to commune
With animals,

You should buy yourself
A bag of nuts

And go up the mountain,

And maybe
You'll see one.

Yeah, try hand-feeding
A wild marmot or something.

Yeah, yeah.

You know the queen e?

The queen e,
That's a nice park.

I was just going
To say that.

See, now,
They've got a nice big lawn.

They've got some trees,
Couple of rose gardens.

You know what I mean?

It's civilized.

They're here!

Oh.

What the hell
Was that?

I don't know,

But those guys
Will have their hands full.

Good luck with that,

All cracked out.

Pathology?

Yeah. Put it
In the corner.

Thank you.

Hey.

How's it going?

Okay. You?

Yeah, pretty good.
Pretty good.

I'm with vancouver homicide.

I didn't do it.

Well, that's good.

Listen, I'm just
Getting acquainted

With some of the girls
Down here.

Smoke?

Thanks.

Go ahead,
Take one for later.

You know
About all the girls

That have gone missing
From down here, right?

Yeah.

Good, 'cause I'm
Investigating that,

And I'm looking
For some input,

You know, who might be
A dangerous date,

You know, somebody
Who you guys think

- might be a suspect.
- okay, yeah.

Check out my boyfriend.
Lock him up for a week or two.

Just on
General principles?

Yeah.

Well, unfortunately,
I can't do that,

Otherwise the jails
Would be overflowing,

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Too bad.

Hey, listen,

If you want
To talk sometime,

You think of something
That might help me,

Call the number,
Okay?

Take care.

Didn't they
Used to have wolves

Down here somewhere?

Yeah, wolves.

They stand there
And look at you,

Give you that
Wolf stare-down.

Polar bears, too,
Over at the zoo there.

Remember that?

Yeah. I remember
When they got them bears.

Little cute polar bears.

People were three deep
At the bear pit.

Then they used to do
That pacing thing, right?

Back and forth,
Back and forth.

Pacing, turning,
All day long.

It turned them
Neurotic.

That's how you get
Caged up like that.

Hey, you remember
When the bears
Ate that guy?

Really? I don't
Remember that.

Some clown hanging
Out over the edge.

You don't remember that?

They covered it up
Best they could.

Well, I guess so.

That'd put
The tourists off.

Those zoos,
That's a screwed-up idea anyway.

Animals on display
Like that...

What'd you do, come
In the wrong way?

Behind the tour buses...

These guys want to go
Right in the middle of the road,

So we had words and I'm late.
Sorry.

What's going on?

I don't know.
We're not there yet.

Hey!

He's down here.
I'll show you.

Okay.

You know, I was
Just telling leo

About the time
The polar bears

Ate that guy in the zoo.

Do you remember that?

- that was my first case.
- get out of here.

What happened?

I'll never forget this
As long as I live.

The guy was, you know...

I mean, I get there,
And what I've got to do

Is I've got to get the bear
Off the body,

- I've got to back him off--
- was he eating the guy?

I've got to
Shoo him off.

First good meal
He's ever had

In his whole entire
Life, this bear,

And he has a chance
To hunt something,

And here I am,
Interrupting the flow.

That was instinct.
He was a man-eater.

That's how we got that bear,
After they shot the mother.

She was a man-eater.

Remember?

Unbelievable.

I don't like
The look of that, leo.

What, the way he's
Down on his knees?

Looks like somebody
Strung him up there.

Why, 'cause he's
Bent down low?

Yeah. That looks
Kind of odd.

Get some shots?

Just hold on.

Let's get in there.

Kind of looks

Like he's been there
For awhile, eh, dominic?

Couple months maybe?

Maybe.

Are you done?

Yeah.
Come on in.

I think it's peculiar,
The way he's looking.

Why, 'cause he's
On his knees like that?

I've seen that before.

It's not that uncommon.

You notice that?

That's a real
Hangman's noose,

Like he knew
What he was doing, huh?

Yeah, looks like it.

Maybe he didn't account
For the stretch of the rope.

Well, the weight
Of his body

- would hang him.
- yeah?

Maybe he left it loose like that
On purpose.

Keep the option open
Of changing his mind.

It takes a lot of determination
To choke yourself to death,

- that's for sure.
- yeah.

He's still got that
Silver necklace on there.

Wrist watch
Still there.

He's wearing gloves.

What's that,
Bicycle clips

On his cuffs?

He's got a bicycle
Clip on each cuff.

I'm not seeing a bicycle
Anywhere.

Nothing in the pockets.

Well, the I.D.
Could've fallen out.

Don't see a wallet
On the ground here.

There's something
Over here.

Have you spoken
To the property owners

About this?

Have you cleared it
With them?

No, you can do that
For me.

Hello. Hey!

Yeah. I asked you
To turn that thing off.

Again, please,
Can you turn it off?

Unless you've cleared this
With my boss,

I've got
To keep on working.

That's just
The way it is.

Shut it down, please.

One more time I'm asking you,
Let me do what I've got to do.

Unless you've got
Some paper

Telling me you're
Taking charge of this site,

I've got to ask you to leave.
Start it up!

We keep this up,

And I'll have this officer
Arrest you

For interfering
With a coroner's investigation.

You want that?

Go ahead,
Arrest me.

Officer, check this guy
For the bug up his--

Hi.

Come on.

Let me show you
Where it is.

Who found it?

One of those
Bottle pickers.

When did they
Find these?

This morning.
Watch your step.

Right around here.

Oh, yeah.

They're human.
You're right.

- any idea what
Was here before?
- I don't know.

Part of japantown, chinatown,
Something like that.

These weren't
On the surface, though.

Looks like
They've been brought up
From a few feet below.

Yeah.

I'd better call
The archaeology branch,

Tell them we might have
Some human remains here.

They'll want to call an expert
To take a look.

Okay, great.

I guess I get to tell these guys
They're going home.

[ telephone ringing ]

Homicide.
Detective kosmo speaking.

Ah, thanks for calling back,
Mr. Silverman.

Uh, let's see...

Uh, you were involved
In an assault recently

Of a prostitute.

Uh-huh.

Yes, sir, I understand that.

No, no, no,
You're not in any more trouble.

See, I'm working
On the missing prostitutes

Down there,

And I'm wondering
If you could help me.

Well, I was thinking as someone
Who frequents the area,

Maybe you wouldn't mind
Coming in

And giving me
Your take on it.

Great.

See you then.

Oh, we've got another
Piece of rope here.

Hangman's knot again.

Maybe he was practicing.

Must be the practice rope.

Some antihistamine,

A shaving kit.

We've got a map here
Of washington state,

And what have
We got here?

There's some kind
Of portable light.

- what is that?
- bike light.

Bike light. Okay.

He's got a scarf.

I like this
Nice thick sweater

He's got here.

Yeah, that's one
Of those

Really good
Cowichan kinds.

You get them all wet,
You stay warm and dry.

Ready to rough it for awhile,
Seems like.

- looks like it.
- I don't see any sign
Of a camp or anything

- around here,
Though, do you?
- no, nothing like that.

No food,
Nothing to cook with.

And here he's got...

Oh, he's got
His nasal spray.

- it's a good thing
He didn't forget that.
- oh, yeah.

Walkman,
Extra batteries.

Got any tapes
With that?

There's one in here.

Highlights
From the pearl fishers.

Bizet.

Oh, yeah?
He's into opera, huh?

He wrote carmen.
You know that.

Don't know that one.

♪ ba dum dum dum
Ba dum dum dum ♪

♪ ba dum dum bumba

- ♪ ba ba dum dum dum
- I know the one.

What's that there?

Oh, here we go.

There's the wallet.

All right.
Here we go.

Raymond early.

Too late for mr. Early.

Right. Well,
I'll take that.

I'll go run him
Through the system,

See if he's on it.

[ patricia ]:
These women that you're seeing

All had a number of things
In common.

They were aboriginal
Part-time prostitutes

And full-time alcoholics

Who lived
On the downtown east side.

Now, when I saw them
In the morgue,

The fact that they had
Large amounts of alcohol

In their system,

I felt was only indicative
Of their lifestyle,

But in fact,
It turned out subsequently,

These women were all murdered
By a man named charlie josephs

Who forced them
To drink themselves to death.

My mistake was in not looking

Beyond the narrow focus
Of the forensic pathologist

To see that there was also
A sociological pattern

In their deaths.

Charlie josephs
May have provided the manner

In which they died,
But he was ultimately not

The sole cause.

As pathologists,
When we present our findings,

Cause of death
Can be determined

In three ways--

It's natural, it's suicide,
Or it's homicide--

But there is a fourth way

Under which all of these deaths
Can and do occur,

And that is genocide.

Yep, our guy
Is on the system, all right.

Got a canada-wide warrant
Out for him.

- an ex-con?
- yeah, big time.

Did life for killing a teller
Up in prince george.

I guess they can
Cancel the warrant.

Any idea what he's doing
Down here in vancouver?

He was on parole

At a halfway house
Down here,

And then about
Four months ago,

He booked out
For the weekend,
Never came back.

Oh, yeah?
Four months, yeah.

That fits
What we're seeing here.

There's something else
That might be related.

There's another ex-con,
Eugene mason,

And he rabbited out of
The same halfway house

A couple of days
Before ray there,

And you've got
A warrant on him too.

We won't find him

Hanging from a tree
Out here in the park.

Maybe we ought to be taking
A closer look at this guy ray.

Why? What are
You thinking?

Well, nothing.
He's an ex-con.

Maybe we ought to talk
To the halfway house,

See what they know.
Fill in the blanks.

That wouldn't hurt.

Everything's open
To interpretation.

I'll talk
To the parole officer.

I'll let you know
What I hear.

Take it easy.

Okay.

Well, I'm going to hazard
A guess it's been here
Quite awhile.

I'd say we're looking
At some pretty old remains.

So how old
Is pretty old?

Hard to tell.

Is there a forensic interest
From the coroner's office?

I won't know if it's
Crime-related until I take
A look at the materials.

Any idea
What was here before?

No, no idea.

I bought the lot
Six or seven years ago.

There was nothing on it.

It was just
A useless piece of land

Like it is.

The city archives
Might have something on it.

Anything else
From just looking here?

No. No, I'd need to take
A closer look.

I can help you
With that.

It's not aboriginal, is it?

I can't tell
From just a glance.

'cause some indian band

Will keep me tied up down here
Forever if it is.

Well, it could be.

We know that there
Were early settlements

All along
The coastline here.

I'll get some students
Down here to help out.

So what happens now?

Well, I'll arrange the paperwork
To have the bones removed,

And uh, well, until we know
What we're looking at,

All the work's
Going to have to be suspended.

Well, how long's
That going to take?

No idea. Sorry.

Okay!

Okay.

I was on a dig
Down by the fraser river,

An aboriginal midden.

Fantastic.

Well, I took
A lunch break,

And the contractors
Poured seven yards
Of concrete on it

- before I could retrieve
The bones.
- no way.

No, it happened.

Yeah, when you guys called,

I didn't think it sounded
Like the ray early I knew.

You guys think
He hung himself, huh?

We don't know.
That's what we're
Looking at.

How many ex-cons
Have you got in here
At any one time?

18, 20. Depends.

And ray early,

How long was he here
Before he jumped?

About three months.

Was it a regular thing
For ray to book off,

Go visit
The girlfriend?

Yeah, pretty regular.

- excuse me.
- hey, hey.

I know you.
Miller, right?

Yeah, I know you, too.

You used to have
A big spider tattoo.

What'd you do
With that?

I had it removed.

Geez, I almost didn't
Recognize that guy.

Any idea how ray would
Make it to the island?

Yeah. He had
His 10-speed with him.

So when he left here
He was on a bike?

Yep.

'cause we didn't find any bike,
Did we?

No, no bike.

So ray's late coming back,
Then what do you do?

Well, I called his girlfriend.

Says he never did show up,
So I called his parole officer.

The police didn't
Go through his room?

- no.
- no?

You still got his stuff here,
Then?

Yeah, I've got it in a box
Right in here.

Let's go
Take a look.

So when ray left here,

You happen to remember
What kind of mood he was in?

Yeah.

He was... He was adjusting,
You know.

Trying to figure out
Where he could fit in, but...

He must've had some frustrations
With that, right?

You've seen that before,
Haven't you?

Yeah, but if you're
Asking me

Do I think ray early
Was suicidal,

I've got to tell you,
I don't believe it.

Yet, there he was
Hanging from a tree.

What about the other
Guy who took off,
Eugene mason?

Were they friends
Or what?

Yeah,
Ray and eugene were tight.

You think it was
A coincidence,

You losing them both
In the same week?

Well, at the time,

I did think they had
Some kind of plan.

Why was that?

The way
They both signed out.

Here, take a look.

Ray early, 5:30.
Gone fishing.

Look at the little
Fish doodle there.

He ever sign out
That way before?

Nope, and the same thing
With mason here.

See?

"Gone fishing."

You think it means anything,
Them signing out that way?

Could just be
A joke they had.

Yeah, and we're
Spinning our wheels.

What bothers me

Is that we didn't
Find a bike up there.

Somebody walking by
Could have boosted it.

A lot of them old guys
Living in the park,

A bike would have been
A real prize.

Oh, that miller.
There's no scar

Where they took
The tattoo off.

You can get
Those removed

Pretty easily
These days

With the old
Laser surgery, right?

Yeah, it used to be
A pretty good form of shorthand.

You'd say, "You know the guy
With the birthmark

Or the tattoo on his neck,"
Or whatever,

And everybody knew
Who you were talking about.

I get your meaning.

Yeah, the bad guys

Keep changing
Their appearance,

- pretty soon we won't
Recognize them.
- I know.

Hey, tell me something, robbie,

And while we're talking
About all the girls down there,

Are there any that you consider
Your favorites?

I don't know.
Not particularly.

Sometimes you end up
With the same one,

But that's usually
Just 'cause, you know,

She's down there
When I'm there.

So, is it, what,

Kind of an
Opportunity thing?

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay, you ever
Notice anybody

Who's a regular like
Yourself down there,

Who maybe
Doesn't seem to fit in?

Maybe one the girls
Told you about some guy

Who treated her
In a bad way?

You know,
Anything like that?

No, not that I recall.

Have you ever dated
Any of these women?

I thought you caught somebody
For these.

Well, we did,
But unfortunately,

These ones here
Are still missing.

Yeah, I went with her
A few times.

That's theresa.

Right, terry.

What can you tell me
About terry?

I don't know.

We just sort of hit it off
Right away.

Oh, okay,

And how often were you guys
Seeing each other?

About once a week
To begin with,

Then it was
Every couple of days.

Before long,
It was every day.

Then it was pretty much
Exclusively with her?

Was there any reason
For that?

We were in love.

Uh...

When you were arrested,
It was for drug possession,

And you stated
That you traded drugs for sex.

Right.

I admit it.

She was going to get her drugs
One way or the other,

Whether she got them
On the street

Or she got them from me.

At least this way,

She was
Getting a clean needle

And a clean
Place to do it.

A clean place?
What do you mean?

My house.

Oh, so you would take
Her home.

Oh, yeah, lots of times.

She liked my kitchen.

We used to talk about

How we were going
To decorate the place

When she moved in.

And how about
When she disappeared?

Did you report that?

No.

We weren't
Seeing each other then.

Why not?

She started using
A lot more than usual.

She said she didn't like me
To see her that way,

All messed up.

Oh, um, sure.

Hang on for one second.

Helen,

I need somebody
From stanley park
Maintenance.

Your piano teacher's
On line one.

No, I'm not here.

You want me
To lie for you?

That's what
I pay you for.

I'm sorry, he's
Not here right now.

I'll be sure to tell him
You called, though.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

She wants
Her key back.

- did you two break up?
- oh, yeah.

Can you help me find
Another piano teacher?

Not until you tell me
What happened with this one.

Oh, you know, it was...

I guess we should have
Stuck to music.

Mr. Da vinci?

- hello.
- hi. I'm gina otaviani.

- nice to meet you.
- nice to meet you.

- can we talk
About ray early?
- ray early?

Sure. My office
Is right here.

You want to go in there?

Yeah, come and sit down.

Ray's parole officer
Called me.

I understand
You've spoken to her.

I just came from there.

Have you made a determination
On the cause of death yet?

No, I usually wait
For the autopsy.

Can I ask you
What your interest in this is?

Well, I knew ray
Pretty well.

I work with
The prisoner's rights council.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I've heard of you.

I've heard
Of you, too.

You've got
A good civil rights rep...

Thank you.

Except when it comes
To ex-cons.

No big surprise there,
You were a cop,

Which is why I want to make sure
You pay attention to this,

Because ray early
Is a death in custody.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold it right there.

Back this truck up.

By what bizarre logic
Do you figure that?

Well, he was
A prisoner of the system

When he died,

Living in a halfway house
On day parole.

That makes it
A death in custody.

The key phrase you're missing
Is the in-custody part,

He wasn't in custody.

He was not
In the halfway house.

He had run off
From there.

I don't think
That's what happened.

You don't think
That's what happened?

What do you think happened?
I can't wait to hear this.

What in your mind
Happened to ray early?

You remember the riot
Up at the prison last spring?

A couple of guards
Got taken hostage. That one?

Right. Well,
The inmates involved in that

Requested ray come in
And negotiate for them.

And the warden allowed that?

Yes, he did.

Ray had a reputation
For settling disputes

On the inside.

If you remember,
Nobody got hurt.

That's very nice,

But how does that end up
With ray swinging from a tree?

The corrections officers there
Had bad feelings about ray

'cause he stuck his nose
Into it.

Ray told me
There was a confrontation.

They threatened him?

It was implied.

So this man ray decides

That he's going to rescue
A couple of guards

From a prison riot,

And they decide they'll hang him
For being helpful?

He's a hero, what?

Ray created a threat
To their authority.

- that's your theory?
- yep.

He defuses
A dangerous prison situation

And they kill him?

Can you just say that
For me out loud?

- I want to hear you
Say it to me out loud.
- I think

The corrections officers
Had a reason to kill him.

Have you no ability
To hear yourself at all?

Do you know how stupid,

How ridiculous
That sounds?

- it's a possibility.
- it's a possibility?

How about this
For a possibility?

You've got an ex-con
Who can't cope with the outside.

His parole officer tells me
He's despondent,

And he kills himself.

You never heard
That before?

Of course I have,
But this is what I know--

The last time I saw ray,

He was looking forward
To full parole.

He was excited

To take his girlfriend's kids
To the zoo.

He's painting you
A beautiful picture.

You don't think he's
Running a game on you?

Maybe he's running a game
On his parole officer

And you're buying
That picture.

I really haven't
Got time for this.

Is there anything else
You actually wanted?

It sounds like you're caving in
To your prejudices about ex-cons

And not hold an inquest
Into ray's death.

I'm not holding an inquest
Into his death

Because there is no evidence

To hold an inquest
Into his death.

Until such time
As you have evidence--

Evidence, not emissions
From your imagination--

Something to make me
Change my mind,

I'm telling you,
My ears will be open.

As a matter of fact,
My door will be open to you,

So you come by any time you want
And wind me up again, okay?

Bye for now.

Okay, just hang on
For a second now.

Who exactly
Gave you these letters?

The brother of the bank teller
That ray early killed.

He's an ex-mountie, right,
The brother?

Yeah. John seaton
Is his name.

Now, just listen to this.

This is to ray early
In prison.

"You have to pay
For what you did.

"If the government
Doesn't have the guts,

"And you don't
Have the guts,

Then god will find
An instrument of justice."

That sounds kind of cryptic
For a threat, don't you think?

Well, he says pretty much
The same thing

In each letter.

You add those
Together...

Okay, how did you get them?

A few days
After ray went missing,

I got a package in the mail
From him.

The letters were in it,
Along with some personal items.

Sounds like he's looking
To clean house

Before he decided to do

What he was
Going to do.

Those letters look pretty old.
When did ray start getting them?

Right after his sentence to hang
Was commuted to life.

That's over 20 years, right?

The last letter's
Only two years old,
This one here.

Well, the brother's
Pissed off.

Early killed his sister.
That makes sense.

It doesn't prove anything.

Where's seaton now?

He retired here in vancouver.

Ray ever say anything
About seaton looking him up?

No, but ray told me

He was worried
He was going to run into him.

That's what I think
Might've happened.

Thing is, unless we can
Put the two of them together--

All I'm saying is why not have
A conversation with the guy,

See where it goes, hmm?

Yeah, we'll think
About that.

All right,
Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Okay.

What do you think?

I think we should wait
For the autopsy report.

If they rule homicide,

Then we'll go
Chase him down.

Patricia, how was
Your first day
At class?

Oh, good.

You talk to students,
And you realize

You know something
About your day job.

Not me. When I get up
In front of the kids,

Well, I tend to think

They can see
Right through me.

That's probably
Left over

From the nuns

Standing you with
Your face in the corner.

Did you get
An office?

Not yet. They say
By week's end.

Oh, and your man

Who hanged himself
In the woods,

Sunny said he'll be
Ready in about an hour.

Oh, sorry.

- hi, helen.
- hi.

I was looking for you.

Did you hear back
From stanley park maintenance?

I left him a message.

Uh, dominic.

Here you go.

Tell me

You're not treating ray early
As a death in custody.

I'm not treating ray early
As a death in custody.

- why would you ask that?
- there are rumors.

Yeah, I just had a reporter
On the phone asking questions.

Just give me a number.
I'll kill it.

I've already killed it.

I just want to make sure
It stays dead.

Right.

My partner and I

Were on something else
Over here.

We just happened to see her.

Take a look.

Oh, yeah.
There she is.

That's queenie king.

Yeah, queenie.

Saw her there and remembered

She was on that list
You sent out

On the missing prostitutes.

Yeah. She was down here
When I was walking the beat.

Been down here forever.

Yeah, long time.

Well, I'm not seeing any signs
Of a struggle here.

There's no bruising on her
Or anything like that.

You've got
The rig there

Still in her arm.

Yeah, looks like an o.D.

You call the coroner?

Thought you'd want
To see her first,

So you could
Cross her off
Your missing list.

- yeah, okay. Thanks.
- thanks.

I think I'll call
The coroner's office

And ask them to spring
For an autopsy.

We'll see
If that tells us

Anything different
Than an o.D.

I think this is a case
Of what you see is what you get.

The rope is
The means of death,

No lacerations to the skin,
No fractures,

No signs of any violence
Prior to the hanging.

I'd say he did this
All on his own.

You don't think there's
A chance somebody else
Strung him up there,

Tried to made it look
Like a suicide?

There's always
A possibility,

I'm just not seeing
Any signs of it.

Did you get anything
For tox?

Was there any drugs onboard?
Can we find out?

Most of his internal
Organs are decomposed,

Except for a remnant
Of his liver.

I'm seeing what
I can get from that,

Send a sample
Cassette over to tox,

And let them
Do their thing.

Any idea how long
He was hanging

Out in the woods there?

The entomologist
Recovered some bugs

From his abdominal cavity.

She speculates
He's been there

- about eight weeks.
- that can't be right.

It's got to be
Longer than that.

Well, our guy's been missing
For four months.

That's 16 weeks.

Oh.

Well, it fits
With what I'm seeing.

That's her time.

Well, I could
Double-check it with her,

See the latitude
There.

- all right?
- yeah, okay.

- thanks.
- thanks, doctor.

What the hell do you
Suppose he was doing

For two months

Before he got into
Stanley park woods?

Well, he's got that map
Of washington state,

So maybe he toured
Around there

And then he got sick
Of living stateside.

Maybe he got mixed up
In something

- with eugene mason.
- I'm down with that.

Life's not his oyster,
So he goes back to crime.
That's likely.

We ought to check
The ex-mountie.

- fill in the blanks.
- what ex-mountie?

That bank teller
That early killed,

Her brother's an ex-mountie,
And he sent early some letters

- of a threatening nature.
- oh, yeah?

- and where'd this piece
Come in from?
- gina otaviani,

- works
Prisoner's rights.
- gina otaviani?

- otaviani, right.
- hold onto that one.

- you know her?
- yeah.

Right.

Well, no,
I'm not interested in that.

What I want to know

Is if maybe you wouldn't
Mind coming in

And helping me out
On something.

- it's strictly voluntary.
- [ knocking ]

Yeah, okay.

Thanks for your time.

You wanted
The new bad date sheet.

Yeah.

It's the same one I've got.

Are you getting anywhere?

Well, so far
I've got three guys

Who have volunteered
To come in and talk to me,

So we'll see where that leads.

All these women, huh?

So ray early
Finally had the guts

To kill himself.

How'd he do it?

He hung himself.

Now, that's
Poetic justice.

How's that?

My sister wendy
Was a special person.

When ray early shot her,
Wendy's husband,

Well, he couldn't
Take the grief,

So one day
He goes out in the garage,

Throws a rope over a rafter,
And hangs himself.

Committed suicide?

Yeah. That wasn't
The end of it.

Their son got shunted
From foster home to foster home,

Ended up a junkie.

O.D.Ed in nanaimo
Two years ago,

So ray early
Didn't just kill my sister,

He killed her whole family.

How about you?
How'd you handle it?

What do you mean?

You took an early retirement.
Why was that?

I've got cataracts.

You wrote some letters
To early.

Yeah, I did.

You want to tell us
About those?

What, you think I took revenge
On ray early?

Did you ever
Run into him here?

Nope.

You never thought
About the fact

You live in the same city?

Oh, I thought about it.

You hear about
The letter he sent me?

He says
He deserved to be hung,

But since he wasn't,

He's going to try
And make it up to society.

He asks
For your forgiveness here.

Yeah, pretty stupid, huh?

It wasn't enough
For you to wind me up,

You had to go
Wind up the police, too?

I'm just asking
The questions.

You're advancing
Agenda here.

I don't appreciate it.

A guy gets out of jail,
Rejoins society.

It's like trying to hop a train
That's moving too fast.

Well, maybe he should've
Bought a ticket.

I don't think
You actually believe that.

Know what
I actually believe?

I actually believe you cannot
Will somebody to change.

What about willing society
To change?

- isn't that part
Of your mandate?
- when it's called for.

So god marked cain
For killing his brother,

And that's the end of it.

No chance
For rehabilitation.

That's not
Why he marked cain.

God marked cain because
He wanted people to point

When he walked by and say,
"Look out for that guy."

I know.

Traffic again.

What's going on?

A little
Show and tell.

You guys talk
To john seaton?

That's looking like
A dead end, though.

The guy's
Practically blind.

He's got cataracts.

- how are you doing?
- hi.

You know what
This is, gina?

- ray's bike.
- where was it?

The park maintenance guy
Found it

Up there in the trail
About seven weeks ago,

And ever since then,

It's been sitting
In the lost and found shed.

That fits with
The time of death.

It's got a flat tire.
You see that?

Yeah. He passed ray,
The park maintenance guy,

On the road right here
About 6:00 the night before,

And the next day,

When he saw bike
With the flat tire,

He figured he'd come back,
So he put it in lost and found.

Yeah, you see,
The guy had a flat,

And he figured
Enough is enough,

So he walks off
Into the woods there

About a hundred yards,
And he hung himself.

No, no, no, no.
This doesn't prove anything.

He could've come up here
To meet someone,

Could've walked
Into the woods together.

Didn't see
Anybody, okay?
Nobody was seen at all.

There's no evidence
On the trail, there's
No evidence at the scene.

Therefore, what happened,
As far as I'm concerned,

Is he came up here
By himself to kill
Himself,

And that's what he did.

- yeah, I'm pretty much
Down with suicide.
- well, I'm not.

Who locks their bike
To a tree?

Someone who plans
On keeping their bike,

Not somebody
Intending to kill
Themselves.

Explain that.

Well, maybe dominic
Can explain it to you.

We've got some other things
We've got to do.

Thanks....

Guys.

Yeah, it's this way.

The bike was found down here
At the end of the trail.

What kind of a lock
Was on it?

Bike lock, you know.
You see them.

Where's the lock now?

Don't know.
Here we go.

Bike was found
Right here.

Okay, what'd you do
With the lock?

Did you cut it off
Or what?

Didn't have to.
It wasn't locked.

I thought you said
It was locked.

I didn't say that.

The chain
Was wrapped around the seat,

Like he didn't care
If the bike got lifted.

Okay.

Sorry to bother you
With this again.

Thanks.

Bike wasn't locked, gina.

If you were going
To kill yourself,

Why not just drop
The bike wherever?

Leave it to a friend
In need or something?

- gina...
- okay.

Okay. You going
To give it up?

- yeah.
- thank you.

What about the gloves?

He was wearing gloves, right,
But he tied a hangman's knot.

You ever try tying
A knot wearing gloves?
You can't do it.

It's a cold,
Cold day, all right?

He ties up the knot,
Like you say,

Puts on the gloves
To cinch it nice and tight.

He has to
So it doesn't slip on him,

You know what I mean?

Okay.

Sorry.

Come on.

- hey.
- yeah?

Boss wants to know
What you're ruling on ray early.

10 minutes.

Inquest?

No inquest, no.

Suicide?

Suicide.

U-I-c...Oh...

Backspace, I-d-e.

He's been here
For about two weeks.

Pretty much
Stays to himself,

Gets high,
And that's it.

Number five?

Yeah.

What?

I'm looking for paul, man.

Show me your hands.

Eugene mason?

Eugene mason?

You're under arrest
For parole violation.

Put this baby to rest.

Enter.

Done.

Done.

Helen?

Hey, helen.

Five copies.

Two copies for us,
Two copies for homicide,

One copy for gina otaviani...

And she gets it today.

I don't want to hear
From her all weekend.

Okay, one second.

All right, I'll tell him.
Thank you.

That was homicide.
They have mason in lock-up.

Okay, eugene mason is who?

Eugene mason
Was the gentleman

Who jumped parole
With ray early.

Sorry.

Gosh...

Look, I don't want
Anything for it,

I just want to get what I know
Off of my chest.

Ray early was killed
By a convict.

I don't think I've heard
That one yet.

How does that go?

Ray got out of prison
Before me.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'm waiting
For my turn for parole,

And this guy,

This convict
We both know,

He wanted me to ask ray
To do a favor for him.

And what was that?

He wanted ray
To kill somebody for him

Down here in the van.

As a favor?

Not exactly.

This convict's wife
Was going to pay him.

Okay,

And how does that
Get ray killed?

Well, ray turned him
Down flat,

And that really
Pissed this convict off.

He said he was going
To have ray taken out.

So he killed ray

'cause ray didn't want
To kill somebody else?

That's what
You're handing me here?

Okay, eugene,
Let's just do this.

Let's just pretend
That I'm buying

Any of this
That you're handing me here.

Did ray tell you why

He wouldn't have taken
A contract like that?

He was trying
To get his act together,

But this was
Screwing him up.

This was screwing him up?
How was it screwing him up?

It bothered him,
The fact that this convict

Thought that he could
Reach out to him like that.

Bothered him.

Ray was real different
After that happened.

- he was different.
- yeah.

He was all down about it.

Uh-huh.

Hey, you look into this,
All right?

A convict had ray killed.

Okay.

Give me the convict's name.

I can't tell you that.

Somehow, I didn't think so.

- you buying
Any of that?
- please.

- so what, we're looking
At suicide again?
- suicide.

So we're all in agreement here
It's suicide?

So somebody else comes in
With another story,

- forget it, right?
I don't want to hear it.
- okay.

- all right.
- see you, leo.

- hey, winston.
- hey, angie.

I got a call
About queenie king,

One of the missing prostitutes
We found.

Yeah, I was just
Writing her up.

So what have you got?
What's the story?

Well, we took
A look at her.

She was covered
In a lot of old bruising, scars,

Pretty much exactly
What you'd expect to find

In somebody living on the street
For the last 10 years.

Yeah, okay,
And what about the autopsy?

Well, we may not need one,

Seeing as we found a spike
Hanging from her arm,

But I'm waiting
On a drug screen,

And if it doesn't show o.D.,
Then we'll do an autopsy.

- how's that?
- yeah, okay.

Hey, you know
Of any next of kin,

Somebody who might
Claim the body?

No. No, I don't know.

Who reported her
Missing?

Oh, some friends of hers
On the street.

I think I'm going to give
The aboriginal center a call,

See if anyone there
Knows anything about her.

All right.

I'll keep her
In the back of the cooler

Until somebody claims her.

See you.

Hi... Oh.

I'm off the clock
In three minutes.

I understand
That eugene mason was arrested,

And you talked to him
And he's got a story.

Yeah, his story is
Some guy took a contract on ray

And then somebody killed him.

Oh, yeah?

You didn't hear about that?
Well, did you hear this one?

Ray had a contract
And turned it down?

I knew about that.

I don't suppose
You'll give that any weight.

Well, you know,
I don't know where to start.

There's so many theories
Bursting out of the walls here.

You come in with some story
About how guards killed him.

That's still a possibility.

I didn't bite that one,

So you went to the cops
With some other story

About an angry relative
Of the victim--

- you weren't in any mood--
- killed him, maybe--

You didn't want
To hear it.

Then we've got
This last thing

About a contract
Taken out on his life

Because he won't do a contract
On somebody else's.

I take it from that
You won't follow up?

No, I'm not, and neither
Are the damn police,
Either, okay?

What about the couple of months
That ray was missing?

- will you look into that?
- no, that's it.

- not even curious?
- I've been thinking a lot
About this, gina.

This is the way it happened,
As far as I'm concerned.

Whatever he was doing,
He changed his mind.

He knew if
He turned himself in,

He'd go back to jail.

He had no option but suicide,
And that's what he did.

Well, see,
Now that is my point.

- what is your point?
- his only other option,

Right up there
At the top of his list,

Right next
To get a college degree

Was he had to hang himself.

You know, gina,
Like it or not,

This time
The system actually worked.

Ray early came out of jail,
He was rehabilitated,

And he's not
Killing bank tellers any more.

And that's okay with you?

Yeah.

It's okay the only forgiveness
He could get was from himself?

Fine with me.

Okay, then.

Yeah, that's about it
For me, too.

I've got to go.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, remember you were quoting
That stuff about cain,

The mark of cain?

Well, I looked it up.

Did you know god marked cain
To protect him?

See, god didn't want
Anybody else

Taking revenge out on cain.

He figured that was his job.

No, you're wrong.

Look it up.

I don't have to look it up.

[ music plays ]

Here we go.

"And the lord
Set a mark upon cain..."
