Tug operator's
Blowing his whistle,

But the skiff there is
Not giving him the right of way,

So he gave us a call.

That's the skiff
Right there?

So it's just
Out there drifting?

Yeah, just drifting.

So, anyway, this guy here
In the kayak,

He decides
He's going to tow it in,

Which he tries to do,

But he flips over,
Almost drowns himself.

Windsurfer there
Pulls him out,

Gets over
The boat rope,

Ties it off to the buoy
And gives us a call.

Okay, now, what time

Did you get that call
From the tug operator?

About an hour
And a half ago.

Hour and a half...

- so...
- anything else
You need from me?

Well, not unless you can
Tell me what direction

You think that skiff
Was coming in from.

Oh, could be anywhere--

North, south,
Across the pacific.

It might not even be
Your jurisdiction.

- well, that might
Be a lucky break.
- all right, then.

Thanks.

Well, I guess this is her.

I've been thinking
About this shooting

All night.

Anyways, one good thing,
I suppose,

That's come out
Of this whole josie thing,

That made any sense to me...

I realized
How much I love the job.

Yeah, I can relate to that.

You know,
This is a fast call.

There's not even a body.
Why are we going on it?

'cause we're
On kurtz's list.

I think we've got
A lock on the top two spots.

Well, that's
Getting old fast.

Do you want to stop
And have a coffee?

I'm cutting back.

It's keeping me awake
At night.

Yeah, that'll do that--
Wires your brain.

You can't
Stop your thoughts.

It's more
The place I'm living in.

It's so damn noisy.

My bedroom window
Is right over the alley,

I've got the dumpster divers
Up and down,

Pushing trash carts,
Digging in dumpsters,

- all night long.
- I thought you gave
Your notice.

No, I didn't give
Notice yet.

I'm not giving notice
Till I get a new place,

And I don't have a new place,
So...

What you should do

Is look for a place
With a nice balcony,

Then you could have a barbecue
And invite me over.

Hey, I went to a barbecue
Last year

That sunny took me to,
Some of her friends.

Oh, yeah,
Where was that?

Some friends
She went to university with.

Anyhow, we get there
And I'm standing around.

- I don't know a soul.
- you're the outsider.

Yeah,
So I'm looking at these guys.

They're all clean-cut,
Good jobs,

And I'm sizing them up,
You know,

Checking them out
For their angle or whatever.

I just couldn't stop
Being a cop.

Yeah, I've been there.

You keep
Looking at your host

And trying to remember

If you've seen her
On a wanted poster.

Here we go.

- hey.
- hey.

Hey. Is that
The vehicle?

Yeah, that's it.

Owner's a jessica
Anne bailey,

A missing person,
Reported missing
Two weeks ago.

Looks like
It's for sale here.

Yeah, except check out
The back seat.

That's what got
My bells ringing.

Oh, yeah, geez, I see
What you mean there.

Some blood--
Looks to be, anyway.

I'm thinking maybe this was
A carjacking gone bad.

Yeah. Yeah,
That's a good call.
Something's wrong.

Did anybody notice
How long it's been here?

Some kids playing
Road hockey said it's
Been here for a week.

Well, I don't see
Anything else in there.

No keys in the ignition.
Did you pop the trunk yet?

No, I was waiting
For you guys.

Well, go ahead
And pop it.

Looks like it's got
A fresh wax job on there.

Yeah. Oh, yeah,
Look at the wheels here.

They've got that black stuff
They put on at the carwash.

Making it look nice
For the sale, maybe.

There you go.

Jessica anne bailey,

297 east 12th avenue.

Yeah, that's her.

What do you think?

Looking a little odd?

Oh, yeah, it's looking odd.

You've got all these trails here
Going off into the park.

I guess we'd better
Make a call,

Get some help down here,
Do a search.

Yeah. If something's wrong,
We're covered, right?

Hey, do you want
To get ident down here,

- seize the car?
- yeah, okay.

Thanks.

You know,
That's the first time

You've said anything
About that whole josie thing

To me, you know,
About how you feel.

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, well,
I appreciate it,

'cause I know
How that feels.

When we first hooked up,
Some bad things...

I did something
That almost finished me.

- you might want to keep
That to yourself.
- yeah, okay.

Maybe some other time.

What have we got here?

I'm just starting
To get a good look now.

A lot of blood,
It looks like.

Yeah, a lot of blood.

She's got some
Pretty serious deep wounds
Here in her wrist.

- I found this fillet knife.
- kind of a peaceful way
To do it,

- drifting
In a boat like this.
- a peaceful way to do it?

- a fillet knife?
You think that's peaceful?
- no, not that part.

- I mean...
- what part?

What are
Those little tears there
On her face and neck?

It's probably
Where the birds got at her.

That's what I think.

No, there's no wallet.
I'm not seeing her purse.

- I'm not seeing a wallet.
- it could have fallen
Overboard.

See if there's any gas left
In that motor, will you?

Is the maritime museum
Around here?

- yeah, it's
Right over there.
- it's right here.

- have you never been?
- no, no, I've never been.

I don't do boats.
I get a little queasy.

Oh, the maritime museum, though,
You should definitely
Go and see.

You know they've got
The st. Roch in there.
You should check that out.

There's plenty of gas
In there.

We've got a tackle box
Full of cod jigs,

And looks like a sheath
For that fillet knife there.

- yeah...
- the st. Roch,
Is that the rcmp boat?

Yeah, that's the one they sailed
From halifax, 1940.

Went all the way
Through the northwest passage.

What the hell would you want
To attempt that for?

Secret wartime mission
To show the enemy

- canada's
Northern sovereignty.
- that's right.

Oh, like the nazis
Were going to go over
The north pole

And invade us
From that direction.

Yeah, because everybody
Was looking west--

The japanese hordes
Were going to invade
In our air balloons.

That's what
They thought.

Okay, I think we want
To take that with us.

Maybe she's got something
With her name written on it.
I see maps and things.

There might be a license there.
Let's get the body to the morgue

And see if we can identify
This poor woman. All right?

So where did you find
Jessica's car?

Out by the university there,
In the park.

We had a bulletin out
For a couple of weeks.

How did missing persons
Get that call?

Her father called us
When she wasn't answering
Her phone.

He'd been trying to get a hold
Of her for a couple of days.

He lives in calgary.

He finally called us
And reported her missing.

- have you gone through
The apartment already?
- yeah, we took a look.

You found blood
In her car?

- that's not
A good sign.
- no.

So who was the last
One to see her?

- do you know?
- yeah, that would be
The manager,

About two weeks ago.
She was taking out
The garbage.

There are
No dirty dishes
In the sink,

Lots of food
In the refrigerator.

What about where she works?
Does anybody there
Know anything?

No, she hasn't been working.
Her father's been paying
The bills for her,

Helping her get settled.

Message light
On the phone there
Is blinking.

Yeah, I already accessed those
With the phone company.

They're mostly from her dad.
The rest are about the car.

That's right,
The car was for sale.

It's strange no friends
Left messages.

Well, she only moved here
Three months ago.

Maybe she didn't
Have any friends yet.

Is this is her
Here in the picture?

- yeah, that's her.
- who's the guy?

Ian larsen, the boyfriend.
He's out of town right now,

But his alibi
For the time period

Checks out.

Well, we're going to need
To talk with him anyway.

- yeah, I figured.
- we've got a doctor's
Appointment here,

And a couple of other
Appointments,

3:00 on tuesday,
5:30 the day after that,

4:30 the day after that,

All for a couple
Of weeks ago,

Nothing for last week
Or this week.

Well, we're thinking

She was meeting people
About the car.

The times fit with
Some of the phone messages.

Okay, did you talk
To all of those people?

Most of them.
A few weren't answering.

You'll probably want
To re-interview.

- yeah, have you got a list?
- mm-hmm.

- what have
You got over there?
- baby stuff.

- does she have a kid?
- no, she's pregnant.

- it says so on the report.
- we didn't get the report.

We came right over here
After finding the car.

- when was she due?
- end of the month.

That's only
A couple of weeks.

You were saying
She's two weeks due?

The midwife says a couple
Of weeks, thereabouts,

But she's not going
To give us an exact date.

Those home births scare
The living hell out of me.

They worked pretty good
For a few thousand years.

Well, maybe
She changed her mind,
Decided a hospital was safer.

Hospitals
Scare the hell out of me.

I checked with
Missing persons on that.

They came up empty.

Maybe she did
Check in to a hospital
Using a different name.

I could call,
See if they covered that.

- yeah.
- what about the car?

- have you got
Anything on it?
- well, not much.

Except for the blood,
It's clean as a whistle,

Vacuumed, waxed.

How much blood are we
Talking about, chick?

I don't know.
It's hard to tell.

I don't know.

Well, is it a fatal amount?

That's the question.

Fatal,
I don't think so,

But like I say,
I don't know.

Any prints?

No. Wiped clean.

You thought maybe
It was a carjacking?

Yeah, yeah.
Any evidence of that?

Not really,
But the car's out of gas.

The gauge is broken,
Reads full.

It ran out
Of gas.

Yeah, bone-dry,

So maybe the park
Where you found it

Wasn't exactly
The destination.

Somebody pinches the car,
Takes it for a joyride,

- ditches it
When it runs out of gas?
- yeah, or she runs out of gas

And somebody comes along
To help or whatever.

So how's the search
Going?

Well, the dogs haven't
Come up with anything yet,

But it's been raining,
And that screws their noses up.

Hey, leo, did you get anything
From the father yet?

No, I'm playing phone tag
With him.

He flew in from calgary
A week ago,

And he's holed up
In some motel on kingsway.

How about the boyfriend?
Have you heard from him yet?

No. He wasn't due in town
Till yesterday,

So we're waiting on that.

- see you, chick.
- yeah, later.

Hey, I was
Looking for you.

- yeah? What's up?
- the aboriginal overdose...

Nobody claimed her,

And if you've got your nod
From everybody else,

I don't see any reason

Why you can't have the body
For your students.

- you'd really
Send her to me?
- yep.

All the paperwork's
There.

Uh, did you run this
By dominic?

- no. Do you think
I should?
- oh, no.

He doesn't need to get
Involved. Thank you.

- all right.
Take it easy.
- yeah.

Oh, um, who was
The detective

- working the case?
- that would be kosmo.

Thanks again.

Okay.

Ooh, this feels
Like cashmere

Or something.

I don't know if they'll
All fit you that well,

But I don't wear them anymore,
And they're good quality.

I'll wear it.
They're nice. Thanks.

You're welcome,

So what's up?

Okay, well,
You don't have to do this.

I just thought I'd ask
In case.

A friend got popped
For possession of heroin.

His first time.
You can check that.

Anyway, I was just wondering

If maybe
You could put in a word.

If I could put in a word...
With who?

With the drug squad.

So what's this guy
To you, anyway?

He's just a friend.

I owe him a favor,
Some money from before.

This would take care
Of that for me.

Did you tell him
That you knew me?

No. No.

A friend of his came by

To collect the money
I owed.

I told him
I didn't have it.

He said
I'd better get it,

So I thought
Maybe if I could help him out,

Then...

- what's this dealer's name?
- billy.

William mulvaney.

They've got him
In lock-up.

Yeah, I don't think
I can help you.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I've got to go
To work now.

I've got to go make
Some money.

The last time you spoke
With your daughter,

What was that
Conversation like?

How was she feeling?

Was she depressed
Or anything like that?

No.

She was feeling good
About moving out here.

Did she say why it was
She wanted to move here?

This is where
Her boyfriend, ian, lives.

Was he the baby's father?

Yes. They met
In calgary,

And she followed him
Out here.

How did he feel
About the baby?

Well, jessica said
He wasn't too happy about it,

I guess.

Did he, uh, did he ever hit
Your daughter

Or threaten her,

Anything like that
That you know of?

She never said
He did anything like that.

Did he ever do anything
Like that?

Well, we'll be sure
And ask him.

Were you aware
Of the fact

That your daughter
Was going to sell her car?

No, she didn't say
A thing about it.

It wouldn't be for the money.
I gave her money.

We checked her bank account,
And it was empty.

I just gave her $600.

Are you sure about that?

She was taking out
A couple hundred dollars

Every two or three days.

No.

No, that's not like her.

That's so peculiar.

I don't feel all that well.

Hang on.

I'll get you
Some water.

Your woman from the boat
Is donna mary sykes,

Born april 16th, 1959.

- she's 42 years old.
- geez, that was quick.

Why? Was she
In the system?

Yeah. She's a retired
Army nurse.

Oh yeah?

Okay, so what are
We looking at here?

Well, there are
No abrasions,

No bruising,
No signs of violence.

You can see some hesitation
Cuts to the left wrist

Before she sliced
Into the veins.

Yeah, that's kind of normal.

She's hesitating,

Trying to work up
Whatever it takes.

That fillet knife you found
Matches the wounds.

It also took some will to do it.
The knife was pretty dull.

Is that right?

I guess tox will take
A while, eh?

Yeah.

All right, then.

Anything else?

Yeah. She's lactating.

She's got breast milk?

Mm-hmm.

Any sign of a baby
In the boat?

No, no.

Let's hope she didn't
Go out in the boat

With an infant.

Yeah, let's hope not.

Okay.

Let's make this a suicide then,
Straight up, okay?

- okay.
- now, how did she do it?

Now, what is going on here?
How does someone just
Give birth,

- then kill themselves and not
Even leave a note?
- I have no idea.

I mean, what's
The kid supposed
To do later on in life?

What kind of burden is that
To lug around with you?

You know what I think
We should do?

We should print up forms.

That's what we should do.

Print up forms,
Fill-in-the-blanks,

"I killed myself because..."

That would make it easier

On those of us
Who are left behind alive.

I mean, no note.

Hello.

Hey, hey.
Are you ian?

- are you ian?
- yeah.

- vancouver homicide.
- yeah?

- stand up, would you?
- what for?

Just stand up.

- have you got both feet
On the ground?
- yeah.

Do you want to look
And make sure?

We've been calling
And calling.

You haven't answered.
What's with that?

My band's been on the road.

When's the last time
You saw jessica?

What happened to her?

When's the last time
You saw her?

I already
Answered these questions

For some of you guys.

Well, that was
Two other guys.

Now you can tell us.

Um, a couple
Of weeks ago...

She came to hear the band
Before we left town.

Did you part
On good terms?

Yeah. I stayed over,
Then we left in the morning.

- did she give you money
For the road trip?
- no.

She was giving you money,
Though.

What makes you think
She was giving me money?

Just answer the question.

Yeah, she lent me some money.
I'm making a cd.

What happened?

We found her car abandoned.

Do you know anything
About that?

No. Geez, no.

I understand
You weren't too happy

- about the baby.
- the baby. Yeah.

The baby. Yeah.

How did you feel
About that?

I wanted her
To have an abortion,

And she wouldn't,

So I tried to talking her
Into an adoption.

She was getting her head
Around that.

She was thinking
About giving up her baby?

Yeah.

She talked to some people
About it.

Who would
These people be?

Um, I have a brochure
In the house.

Let's go get it.

Okay.

It's this way.

- angela?
- how are you doing?

I was going over
Your file

On the queenie king
O.D.

Oh yeah?

Well, I couldn't find
Anything

That indicated she had
Any next of kin.

Yeah, well, her history
Is pretty sketchy. Why?

Well, I'd like to do
An autopsy on her
For my class,

But I've got
To make double-sure

That she's got
No surviving relations

Who might not go along
With it.

Yeah, I was asking
For an autopsy

A while ago.

Well, if we can sort
Everything out,

She's going to get one.

I'll dig a little more
Into the situation,

And I'll get back to you.

Thanks.

Yeah? Can I help you?

- are you warren sykes?
- yeah.

You are?

I'm dominic da vinci

From the vancouver
Coroner service.

Is your wife,
Uh, is she donna sykes?

Yeah.

Uh, has something happened
To her?

Yes, sir, I'm afraid
Something has happened.

I'm sorry
To have to tell you this,
But, uh, she's deceased.

What?

Is there somebody I can call
For you?

Is there maybe a relative,
A friend of the family,

That I can
Get over here?

Can I come in
For a second?

- is that okay?
- yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah.

Come on in.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Are you sure there's nobody
I can call for you?

Uh, what, uh...
What happened to her?

Well,

What it looks like to me
At this point

Is that she may have taken
Her own life.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

She wouldn't. She wouldn't.

- that's not right.
- okay.

When was the last time
You actually saw donna?

Last night.

Last night, yeah.

I woke up when she went in
To feed the baby.

The baby...

- the baby's here?
- yeah, she's sleeping.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah.

So when did you actually realize
That your wife wasn't at home?

This morning.

Uh, the baby woke me up,

And, uh, I could
See that donna was gone,

So, uh, I waited a while,

And then I phoned the police.

Did she leave you a note,
Anything like that?

No.

What about last night
When you were talking?

Did she say something

That, now you remember it,

It didn't seem quite right,
That was out of character?

No.

No, nothing like that.

Well, how had she been
Feeling lately?

Like, okay?

Yeah, yeah,
She was really happy.
We just had a baby.

Right,
But the pregnancy, now,
Was that uneventful?

There were no problems?

No, no.

I mean, you know,
The usual morning sickness,
I guess...

And the baby's health--

Everything's
Been good there?

Like, was there anything
Causing your wife undue stress

About the baby?

No, no.

- no postpartum
Depression?
- no.

- okay.
- [ baby crying ]

Okay.

Are you sure I can't
Call somebody for you?

You could probably
Use a hand, no?

Yeah. Okay.

Could you, uh...

Okay, can you call
My sister?

Hang on. Let me just--

Hang on, sweetie.
Hang on.

Coming.

This is one of those places
They tell you,

"If you're in the family way,
Give us a call.

We'll take care
Of your dilemma for you."

They get
Mixed-up young girls

Coming in here

Expecting to hook up
With an abortion doctor,

And they give them
The right-to-life pitch.

Yeah. Well, just don't go
Winding these people up.

Jessica bailey, brunette,
21 years old...

Jessica, yes.
I remember her.

So she's a client
Of yours, then?

Yes, but I can't say
Anything more than that.

We have a policy
Of confidentiality here.

Yeah, well, jessica is missing,
And we're worried about her.

It's a homicide investigation.

Oh.

So when was it

That jessica first came
To see you?

Um, a couple of months ago.

She was interested
In home delivery,

And we set her up

With a midwife
That we work with.

Yeah, we talked to her midwife
On the phone.

She didn't say anything
About you people.

Well, I wouldn't
Expect her to.

We don't exactly advertise
What we do here.

We understand jessica
Was talking with you
About adoption.

Is that right?

Yes, she did discuss that
With us.

What did she
Decide to do?

Was she going to
Give up the baby?

As far as I know,

She was still thinking
About it.

How does this
Adoption thing work?

We put a list
Of prospective parents together
With the mothers.

- they of course go through
The proper legal channels.
- mm-hmm.

Does it ever happen
That a girl changes her mind,

Say, she lets them know
She wants to give up the baby,

Then backs out of it?

Does that ever happen?

Sometimes.

And how far along
Did jessica get

With the adoption
Process there?

Did she speak
With any of these people
Who were looking for a baby?

She met with one couple, yes.

How did that go?

I don't know.

I didn't see jessica
Again.

We'll need the name
Of the couple she met with.

Just the couple...

Yeah. For now,
That would be fine.

Just the name
Of the one couple...

For now.

Queenie...

Yeah, I didn't really know her
Very well, okay,

Just to share a smoke with,
That kind of thing.

Do you have
75 cents?

No, sorry, we don't,

But you reported her
Missing, right?

I mean, it's your name
On the report.

That's why I'm here.

Yeah, okay, I did that,

But then I saw her again
A couple of weeks later.

You saw her later?
You saw her.

Well, why didn't you
Report that?

I don't know.

She wasn't missing
Anymore.

Because we were
Looking for her.

You should have
Reported that.

Where did you see her?

Down on pender.

She was yelling
At her dealer

About something,

And he was yelling
Right back at her,

And I didn't want
To know too much.

Well, how much
Do you know about it?

Just that
He threatened her

If she wouldn't recruit
For him.

Recruit what?

Girls who would hook
For him.

So he was her pimp.

I think.

I don't know.

Okay, what's
This guy's name?

I don't want to say.

I can't remember.

You don't want to say,
Or you don't remember?

I can't remember.
I don't want to say.

Okay, did queenie
Ever say anything about herself,

Her past, her family,
Anything?

No, I don't think so.
I don't know.

How about
Where she was from?

Yeah, she said
She was from drumheller.

That's in alberta,
Where the dinosaurs come from.

From drumheller?

- mm-hmm.
- okay, fine.

- well, we'll talk again.
- what for?

You'll remember
The name of the dealer,

And you'll tell me.

I'll try.

You think about it.

You wanted me?

Oh yeah, hi. Yeah.

Yeah, the boss just dropped
This off on my desk.

It's a request
For an autopsy for your class

Involving a regina king.

Does that ring a bell?

Oh, this. Yeah.

Oh, uh, queenie king.

She's aboriginal, an o.D.

We tried to find next of kin,

But there doesn't seem to be

Anybody who wants her.

Really?
You checked the dental records?
Of course you did.

Did you check
With the tribal council?

- mm-hmm.
- nobody?

- did you check
The phone book?
- yes.

I've talked
To the tribal council.

They're satisfied we've done
Our best to find her relatives.

Well, I'm not satisfied.

I'm not releasing
This body to you

Until I'm absolutely
Totally positive

There's no family
Out there anywhere.

I don't need the brother
Coming in here

Two weeks after
An autopsy for your class
And raising cain

Because, you know,
We desecrated his sister's
Remains. I can't have that.

Plus, I don't appreciate

The end run you made
Around me

Trying to get winston
To sign off on this.

Winston has
Enough problems
Around here as it is.

Fine.

I'll continue looking
For next of kin.

Okay. That would be good.

I mean, this is only
So it doesn't come back on you,

Patricia.

It's not personal.

So then I found
The scrap of newspaper.

It might
Give us a date

If we can find a match
In the archives.

How does a newspaper
Survive a hundred years

In this damp?

Well, it was in another one
Of these tin boxes.

Another one?

See those two guys
Up there behind me?

Yeah, they were here yesterday.
One of them was still here
When I left.

One of them was here
When I got here
This morning.

Oh yeah? Huh.
Interesting.

Yeah.
So where was
This box at?

Well, it was
In the same sector
We found the first one,

Near the first remains
Beneath the fire layer.

Beneath the fire, okay.

Maybe the newspaper

Was used
For packing something.

Well, if we can recover a date
From the newspaper,

That would at least tell us
The bones were buried here

Some time after
It was published.

Right. What's up
With the archives?

Oh yeah.

We're standing
On what was, in 1907, a brothel

Run by a woman
By the name of fay packer.

- this was a whorehouse.
- yeah.

After the 1906 earthquake
In san francisco,

A few of the madams
Came up and settled here
Along the waterfront

Until things got rebuilt
And back to normal.

[ cell phone ringing ]

That would be
My day job

Wondering
Where the hell I am.

Sunny here.

Hey.
I'm going down the street.

- do you want a coffee?
- oh, that would be great.

I could use a double espresso.
Maybe I can wake up.

Long.

Now, did you ever
Get that stuff

On postpartum
Depression--

Oh. Great.

It could be
Hormonal.

They don't know for sure.

Okay,

So what else is in here?

What about the, uh...
It's pretty common, right?

Yeah. The mildest form
Is called the baby blues,

And it typically happens

Three to five days
After the birth,

Usually goes away
A few days after that.

What about the worst cases?

Symptoms up to six months...

The really bad cases
Are called puerperal psychosis,

I think is
The pronunciation,

And you can get
Delusional thinking,

Start thinking
Your baby is a demon

Or a divine being.

There are cases

Where women have actually
Killed their babies

With that kind of a thing
Going on, right?

Sure.
It's pretty rare, though.

It probably inspired
More bad horror movies

- than actual deaths.
- okay.

Mostly, mothers just
Get really sad,

But here's a little gem
That's not in there.

Yeah?

Okay, in the 11th century,

The gynecologist
Trotula of salerno...

Yeah.

Speculated

That if the womb
Is too moist,

Then fluid gets
Into the brain,

And it starts leaking
Out of the mother's eyes,

Which is why women cry a lot
If they're postpartum.

That's the end of it?

Yeah,

- so what did you want?
- double espresso.

Long.

Some of those
Stomach pills I like,

Chewables.

You know, those'll
Keep you up at night, too.

Yeah, I know.
I just started again.

I've got to quit already.

So did you get anything

From the couple who was talking
About adopting jessica's baby?

No, the baby they took up
Came from kosovo.

Kosovo?

Yeah. Their lawyer
Arranged an adoption.

It's a great big rigmarole.

They had to tell me
All about it.

Hey, that detective
From missing persons

Was just looking
For you guys.

Yeah, walt?

He was saying that the people
Who wanted to buy jessica's car,

A couple of them
Had appointments

The day
She went missing.

Yeah, he was going
To give us the list.

Yes, he gave it to me.
I've got it right here.

- okay.
- there you go.

I guess we have
To re-interview them.

Sarge also said
That if I've got the time,

To give you guys
A hand.

She told you to
Give us a hand?

Yeah.

We don't need
A hand.

We don't even have a body.

We're not even sure
This is a homicide.

- how come we need a hand
All of a sudden?
- wasn't my idea.

- I'm just telling you
What I was told.
- okay, yeah, roy,

- we're okay.
- I'll tell her that.

Yeah, tell her that...
And tell her

We'll chase down whoever
Talked to her about her car.

- tell her we're good.
- no problems.

All right.

Do you believe that?

Suddenly we can't
Tie our own shoes.

She's got an agenda.

She wants more women
In the department.

She likes that rose
From robbery.

I take early retirement,

She brings rose in
To replace me.

It was her who made the mistake
On that josie thing.

"Go get josie's gun."
We didn't want to get the gun.

That's right.

I bet that's not going
In her report,

The mistake
She made about that.

She likes that rose
From robbery.

Your suicide in the boat...

- donna sykes?
- donna sykes.

You said she just
Had a baby.

- that's right.
- did you see the baby?

I didn't see the baby,
But I heard her.

So you're sure
She has a baby?

I'm 100% sure. Why?

Well, unless we're looking
At divine intervention,

Donna sykes
Has never given birth.

Oh, come on.

There's zero evidence
Of it, none.

Her cervix
Is nullifarous.

Her uterus shows no signs
Of being enlarged.

You just told me
She was breast-feeding.

She was lactating,
She had milk,

But now I'm thinking

That was caused
By a false pregnancy.

I knew this thing was going
To take a whole weird
Twist somewhere.

Yeah, it's called
Pseudocyesis.

You'll get cessation
Of menstruation,

Morning sickness,
Labor pains, you'll
Even get breast milk.

So this is all
A head trip?

This is all
Psychological?

Sometimes.

In this case, she had
A hydatidiform mole
In her uterus

Which may have caused
Some pregnancy symptoms.

So you're thinking that fed
Into it, helped her believe
She was pregnant?

Yeah, either that or she
Was aware and faking
The whole thing.

Well, if she was
Faking the whole thing,
Her husband had to know, too.

Not necessarily.
Unless she told him,

There's no way
He would've known for sure.

I think so.

I mean, you know, she's--
The baby kicks,

He can feel that.

She's throwing up
Every morning.

There's all that stuff.

You can fake all that
Up to a point.

Yeah, okay, then,

There's your motive for suicide
Right there.

She's afraid.

She's afraid
Of what people are going to say

When they find out
That's not her baby.

Man.

But it kicked.

Hey, I felt it.
I felt it kick.

She had to be
Pregnant.

And the baby is where
Right now?

She's at my sister's.

Do you know
What you're accusing her of?

I know, this is
Very serious.

Yeah,
You're damn right.

You're damn right,
It's serious.

You're telling me
My wife was lying to me.

No. No, no, no, no.

Forget it.
I can't listen to this.

- I'm sorry.
- mr. Sykes...

- no, no. No more.
- no, you sit down.

You sit down.

You're answering my questions
Right now, mr. Sykes.

It's either my questions
Or the police questions,

So if you'd be so good, sir,
As to sit down.

Come on.

Come here.

Thank you.

All right.

Now, the day
That your wife gave birth,

Where were you, exactly?

I was working up the coast.

I'm a logger.

So she calls you up

On the phone up there,
I guess,

And how did that go?
What did she say, exactly?

Just that she'd had the baby,

And could I please
Come home right away.

And she called you
From the hospital?

Was that the plan?

No, she had a midwife.

It was a home birth.

A midwife.

Do you have the name
Of the midwife?

Somewhere, yeah.

Good.
I'll need that.

Yeah, I can't believe
That donna would do this.

This-- this--
This makes no sense.

I know.

I know.

I'm very sorry about...

I can't even begin to imagine
What you're going through

And what you and your wife
Have gone through.

Were you trying
To have a kid together

For quite some time
Before she got pregnant?

Yeah, yeah.

We tried everything.

Did you ever go see
An adoption agency?

No.

No, we talked
To a birth counselor,

One that donna knew about.

They put you together
With pregnant mothers

Who want to give up
Their babies.

- did you meet any of
These pregnant women?
- no.

Did your wife go
And meet any?

I don't know.

Well, if you're out of town
Working,

Maybe...

While you're out of town,
She could have.

Well, yeah,
I mean, yeah, she might have.

Okay, well, I'll need
The name of that counselor,

All right?

And that's about it for now,
Mr. Sykes.

Thank you.

Hey...

Are you going to
Take our baby away?

Well, if I...

It it happened

The way
I think it happened here,

I mean, it's not your--
It's not your child.

Yeah, yeah, she is.

She is my baby.

It's not your baby.

Your wife wasn't pregnant.

Well, you're going to have
To prove that to me.

Okay, well,
Why don't we do this?

I'll set up a blood test.

We'll take a blood test

And try and match your dna
With the baby, right?

And if the dna doesn't match,
You're going to take her away.

Let's just do the test,

Then we'll just
Take it from there,

Okay?

I called the young lady up
About the car

And made arrangements
To go over and see it,

But she wasn't home
When I went over.

So you've never seen
This woman, jessica?

No, just talked
On the phone.

Okay, thanks.

Well, so far,
That makes about 10 people

Who haven't seen her
Or her car.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

- we've got a body.
- oh, good.

We've finally
Got something to go on.

You know how
I was going to tell you

About that I got into
When we first partnered up?

I told you,
I don't want to hear it.

You remember
That short-order cook,

Charlie josephs,

Killed those native hookers
With the alcohol o.D.S?

- yeah.
- well, I killed him.

What are you talking about,
You killed him?

I'm not saying
I laid the beating on him.

That was that big native cop,

You remember, the brother
Of one of the hookers?

But I gave him the heads-up
That josephs killed his sister,

And he took care of it.

The only reason
I'm telling you this

Is so if you ever
Need to talk to me
About anything,

You can, okay?

Now get in.

Come on, get in, get in.

So, what,
She's a ward of the government?

Right.

Queenie was born
In drumheller, alberta.

She was found abandoned
Outside a hospital,

There are no known
Brothers or sisters,

Uncles or aunts
Or grandparents,

And she was relocated
To prince rupert

When she was
Four years old.

Prince rupert, huh?

Okay, so there's no
Adoptive parents, or... Nobody.

Nobody, nobody.
A series of foster homes,

No one longer than a year,
18 months.

I can't believe

That they can't see
The coroner thing

Hanging from my
Rear-view mirror.

- is that--
- yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you'll release her to me?

Yeah, all right,
Sure. Just get me
The paperwork, okay?

- thank you.
- I'll get the paper,
And then...

Excuse me,
I want to see tickets
On all of these cars over here.

They're all in violation,
Aren't they?

You can't see
The coroner sticker on there?

Yes, I remember
Mrs. Sykes.

We spoke several times
About adoption.

So she was came down here
To do what,

- to put a baby up for adoption?
- to adopt a child.

Oh, so she came to see you
Before she got pregnant?

Yes, before.

Okay.

So did you introduce her

Or arrange anything
For her

Involving prospective
Parents or mothers?

No, we never
Got that far.

No?

You never gave her
Any names at all,

Nothing?

No. No one.

Can I ask
What this is about?

Mrs. Sykes
Committed suicide,

So I'm
Investigating that.

Oh, my god,
That's so sad.

- yeah.
- how is her baby?

Is her baby all right?

It's not her baby.

Excuse me?

She was never pregnant.

Oh, I think
You made a mistake about that.

I mean, her baby was kicking.

She let me feel it.

So she was continuing
To come down and see you

Even after she got pregnant,
Right?

That's right.

So be that as it may,
She never actually was pregnant.

I can show you
The autopsy report.

It was a false pregnancy,
Okay?

Well, your people
Have obviously made a mistake.

Well, I fear mistakes.

I just want to get this
Cleared up for myself, okay?

It's very important to me.

Now, did you or did you not

Introduce her
To any of your clients?

No.

Well, is it possible, then,

That she may have met someone
Down here anywhere?

Without your knowledge,

It's possible, like,
In the waiting room here--

Lots of people out there.

Is it possible
She could have met someone
Who you didn't know?

Well, I suppose
Anything's possible.

Great. Well,
We're getting somewhere then.
I'll need a list, okay?

I want a list of all the mothers
That you've dealt with...

Just confine it to, say,
The last 12 months.

That should do it.

No, I can't do that.

You have to do it.

I've got to talk
To all those young girls.

No.

Are you serious?

Okay, this is what's
Going to happen, all right?

I'm going to go
Get a warrant,

I'm going to come back
And seize everything,

All your papers,
All your files.

Is there anything
In there you don't
Want public knowledge

Or authorities
Looking into?

You'd better just
Comply with me right now.

Then go get
A warrant.

Okay.

Good luck.

See you soon.

So this is how far

From where jessica's car
Was found?

Oh, half a mile
Down the road there.

Where'd you
Find her?

About 25 yards
Into the woods over here.

- she's been there
The whole time?
- yeah.

We searched this area
Several times.

I must've walked by her
A dozen times myself.

You found her?

One of the volunteers
From the neighborhood.

He walked off
To take a leak.

There she was.

Is this your
Missing girl here?

Yeah, that's her.

It's a shallow grave,

Leaves and branches
Covering her up,

So whoever put her here
Was in a hurry.

One person doing that,
You figure?

Oh, I can't tell.

There's been so many people
Been coming through here--

Constables, volunteers, you, me,
Trashing the ground cover, so...

What's that
She's wrapped up in?

Looks like a fitted sheet.

There's a lot of blood
On it.

Yeah. You can see
Her legs are covered in it.

I don't see any wounds
On her anywhere, though.

No, no.
There's nothing like that.

What do you think
Happened?

I'd say she bled to death
Before she was dumped here.

Autopsy'll tell us for sure.

Did you say she was pregnant?

Yeah, she was due
In a couple of weeks.

Well, she's not due anymore.

She had the baby?

Yeah,

That's what I'm seeing here.

She could have hemorrhaged
From that, then, maybe.

Yeah, that's
What I'm thinking.

I don't see the baby
In the grave there with her.

Nope.

No sign of a baby
Anywhere.

Okay.

I've got the dog squad
Coming back,

Look for the baby.

They've got coyotes
In here.

Yeah, you've got
Coyotes, raccoons,

Rabbits,
Rats, eagles,

You name it.

I don't know what this means,
But it scared me.

I thought I'd better
Show it to you,

See what you think.

I was going to try
And do some laundry,

And I was looking
For the soap.

I've got to get
Some clean things...

Anyways,
I found these sheets.

That's blood, isn't it?

That's definitely blood.

That's a lot of blood,
Isn't it?

That's a great deal
Of blood.

Okay, and I
Also found these
Under the sheets.

Don't-- don't-- don't.
Don't touch anything.

I already did.

That's okay.
I can get that.

Okay.

These are...

These are restraints,
Hospital restraints.

I don't understand
Any of this.

What have you got
Down here,

A little basement suite,
Eh?

Yeah, that's the office
Over there.

What's this one here?

Spare bedroom.

Do you mind
If I take a look around?

No, no, go ahead.

Okay.

Nothing there.

No, you shouldn't be
In here.

What's that?

Oxytocin.

What's that for?

This is a hormone
They use to induce labor.

Okay, syringe...

You shouldn't actually
Be in here.

This is a crime scene now.

Hello, homicide?

Yeah, it's da vinci.

Let's go upstairs.

So my guess is

That your missing girl
Jessica

Was actually stalked
By mrs. Sykes here.

She first comes across her
Down at that pro-life
Joint downtown,

When jessica was talking about
Giving up her baby, maybe.

- that'd be my guess.
- so, what, mrs. Sykes,

She strikes up
A relationship with her,

Gets her over here
To the house on the pretense

That she's going to buy
Jessica's car?

Right, she gets her here

Then restrains her
Right away,

Induces the labor,

Jessica bleeds out,

And she sticks her
In own car

And then ditches her
Off in the woods.

So now she's got the baby,

So she calls up the hubby
And says, "Guess what?

Big surprise.
The baby's here early."

Then the whole house of cards
Starts falling apart,

She sees
It's the end of the line,

So she just
Punches her own ticket.

And the husband,
He didn't know anything
About this at all?

I really don't think so.

How do you keep that
A secret?

I guess
You actually don't.

- okay, it's all yours.
- okay, here we go.

All right. Take
It easy, all right?

[ da vinci ]:
It isn't over.
