- morning.
- yeah.

Firemen found
Two bodies inside
In the basement suite.

- yeah? They still in there?
- yeah. There's one
In the bedroom,

- one in the living room.
- all right. What
About upstairs?

Well, the fire was pretty much
Contained to the basement.

We have a hall
Just around the corner.
They got here pronto.

What about the I.D.S?
Any luck there?

One adult, one child.
No I.D.S

Folks upstairs
Are on holiday.

We're trying
To get a number
For the landlord.

How's it going?

Good.
How's it going?

So we've got
A kid in there?

Yeah.

Just did a preliminary
Look-see.

Okay.

Watch yourself
Coming through here.

Thanks.

The fire maybe started

Over here
Near the laundry tubs.

Okay.

We're going to be looking
Underneath here

For accelerants,
Maybe.

Accelerants?

Yeah, you know,
Cleansers,

Some old paint rags,
Whatever.

Oh yeah.

You've got your little
Space heater here.

Something maybe
Got too close to it,

Got too hot.

It's one of the old ones.

Yeah.

That's nice.

And over here...

You've got the couch.

Oh yeah.

Adult male.

Looks like he made
No attempt to escape,

Doesn't it?

Yeah. He got caught
On the couch.

Smoke inhalation
Maybe.

Yeah.
It went up quick.

You want
To have a look

At the other victim?

Yeah.

Okay.

Just over here.

Okay.

The outstretched arms,

He's trying
To get out.

This poor kid here--

Yeah?

What were you doing,

Trying to get
Underneath the smoke?

That's probably...

Get to the door,

But the window's
Right there.

Do you mind
If I take a look?

No. Go ahead.

So he comes to the window.

These are locked
Pretty good, though.

All right, well,

He probably tried
To get out this way first.

Got disoriented

Because he couldn't figure out
How to get this thing open.

That's pretty tough,

And ended up,

That's as far
As this poor kid got.

Uh-huh.

I think they just
Put those in,

The security bars.

Why?

Well, on the rest
Of the house

They look brand new.

I'm just guessing.

Well, that'd be
Kind of a cruel twist,

Wouldn't it?

Yeah.

Okay.

What do you
Want to do here?

Well, we're going to take
A little while

To look around the scene,

See what we've got going on.

Listen,
Would you give me a page

When you want to move
The body?

I want to come down here
And supervise that.

Yeah, all right.

Okay, thanks a lot.

You bet.

I've got
The landlord here.

Have you
Interviewed him yet?

No. He just
Rolled in.

Okay, I'll do it.
Thanks.

You the landlord?

Yeah, that's right.

Was there anybody
Inside?

Well, I'm from
The coroner's office.

My name's
Dominic da vinci.

We're trying to find out

Who might have been staying here
In the house last night,

The victims.

Are you familiar
With the tenants here?

On the upper floor,
It's a man and wife.

Right.

The basement,
The basement's my son's suite,

But I think he's
Over at his wife's place.

- your son has
The basement suite?
- that's right.

He's separated,
And sometimes he stays
Over at the house

With his ex.

I'm pretty sure
He's over there,

Because I spoke
With him yesterday.

Well, here's the thing.
We've found two people.

They're deceased,
They're in the basement,

And we haven't been able
To identify anybody.

No, no, no.
You can't go
In there, sir.

- get out of my way.
- no, no, no. We just
Need information here.

You can't go
Anywhere near that.
All right.

Information's
What we need here.

My son is in there.

Well, sir,

There's two people
We have to identify,

Okay?

Who else
Is in there?

Well, the other
Is a child.

He's going to fall.

Watch him, watch him.

Sir, sit over here
For a bit.

Anybody I can
Call for you?

Anybody we can
Call, sir?

It's my son...
My grandson...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry this
Even had to happen.

I know
This is hard.

Are you sure?

Are you sure
It was them?

Well, we know
There was just an adult

And we know
There was a child,

And that's all
We really know

At this point,
Okay?

I'm sorry.

Listen, have you got
A family doctor

You can
Put us in touch with?

You know,
Someone we can get some...

Some records,
Some dental records,
Anything like that?

- what happened?
- we don't know for sure.

We've got a whole team
Of investigators working on it.

I've got to...
I've got to call stephanie.

I've got
To call his wife.

- we can send somebody over--
- no, no, I'll go over.

I'll go over.

Because she's going
To be needing...

My god, it was her baby.

It was my grandson.

Should we
Send somebody

Over there
With you, sir?

It might be
A good idea.

- yeah?
- yeah, okay.

Let's get
In your own car.

We'll get someone
To drive you.

Look, the scene's
Going to be tied up

For quite some time,
Okay?

Now, she can't
Come over here.

I wouldn't advise
Letting her in.

- no, no.
- don't even try.

Okay.

What's your son's name?

It's daniel.

And your grandson's?

It's peter.

So there's a bullet
In the head?

Yeah.

Don't take my word for it,
Though.

Have a look.

Well, what's going on
Down here?

We've been digging here
For a few months,

Bringing up bones,
Artifacts,

Some boxes.

Boxes?
What kind of boxes?

See these boxes here?

They're used
To store the bones

Until they're transported
Back to china.

So this guy here,

Is he one
Of the ones

Waiting to be
Shipped back?

No, he's laid out

Like he fell
Where he was shot.

It looks like
A separate incident,

But, you know, that's
For you to find out.

Do you need me here
For anything else?

For a bit, yeah,

Just to fill us in
On what else is happening here.

I'm going
To call work,

Let them know
Where I'm at.

That got a bit chilly there
For a minute.

Yeah.

We're not getting along so well
These days.

She still
Bent out of shape

Because of
That josie thing?

I don't know.

Yeah, that,
And some other --.

It's clearly a shot

Right through the forehead
There.

- maybe the slug's
Still inside.
- uh-huh.

Hey, sunny.
Hey, sunny,

So how many
Of those boxes

Have you dug up
Out of here so far?

12, so far.

Have you got any idea
What's going on here?

Well, we know
There was a fire here

In 1907,

And there was a row of brothels
On this street,

And this was originally
A fresh-produce warehouse.

Okay.

I'm going to go give
The bunny suits a call,

Get them down here.

Can you call william?

Let him know
To call sunny?

Thanks.

Hey.

So where were you
Last night?

I just fell asleep
On the couch

Watching the tube.

You might want
To call next time

And let me know.

That's our new rule?

I've got to
Make the call?

You can't call me?

Forget I said
Anything.

I can do that.

All the information
I have

Is completely credible.

I wanted evidence
Other than from
Your informant.

Alex mills is still
The titled owner
Of this house.

He's kept it empty
Ever since his wife
Went missing,

Except for
A few squatters.

Around the same time
His wife disappears,

He pours
A new concrete floor
In the basement.

How do you
Know that?

I got
The contractor's number

Off a receipt
Left in the basement.

The guy remembers
Doing the job,

Says he never
Saw the wife.

Okay, go ahead.

You got
Something else?

Another woman
Saw the wife

Heading back
To that address

From the grocery store

On the day
She disappeared.

Another prostitute,
You said.

I don't discount
What she says

Because she's
A prostitute.

Look, I'm simply asking
The same questions

The crown's
Going to ask.

How credible
Is the information?

All the information
I've gotten from my informant
Has panned out.

Everything she's said so far
Has been accurate.

Okay, tell me
What you're next step is then?

I'm getting a warrant
To dig up the basement floor

And see if alex mills
Buried his wife under there.

You want to dig up
A cement floor

On the off chance
That sarah mills is under there?

I hope you know you're creating
A hell of a lot of work

For the forensics squad.

I'm aware.

Your call then.

Hey.

I've got a better idea
What's going on now.

Yeah?

You want to take
Another look?

Sure, I'd love to.

I think we've got
The fire starting

Right through here.

What, the heater?
Is that the culprit?

We've got this
Old-style space heater.

The switch is still
In the "On" position,

So I'm thinking

This is the culprit
Right here.

And you've got
A pile of rags

Under the laundry tubs,
And metal fragments,

An old aerosol can,
And--

Boom,
It explodes,

Catches the paint rags
On fire.

If the can's close enough to it,
It could,

But I'm still
Looking into that.

So these paint rags
Have caught on fire,

Then what
Happens next?

You get more
Flammables going up,

This wall here
Goes up,

And you've got
The adult sleeping

Right on
The other side,

So he gets
The toxic smoke

Right away,

Under the door,
Through the wall here.

Well, I've seen these fires
Start before

With these old space heaters.

People leave them on, you know,

Trying to get the damp
Out of their basement.

Yeah, I've seen that, too.

Yeah, in 1907.

They said the fire happened
Thereabouts, anyway.

Yeah, that could
Fit the timeframe
Of these remains,

And you can see that
He's been burned,
But usually,

You've got to pour
Some kind of accelerant
On top of the body

To make it burn
All the way up
Like this.

Okay.
Anything else?

Yeah.

I think the guy's
Chinese.

You can tell that
By the shape of teeth?

Is that right?

Yeah. I'm going by that
And these glasses here.

They were
In the dirt

Under the body.

The writing on the frames
Looks to be chinese.

That could be
The manufacturer

Or the retailer.

Oh yeah.
Right here.

And then there's this.

Looks like jade.

Maybe he wore it
Around his neck
For good luck.

Some chinese believe
That if you fall,

The jade will crack,
But you won't.

Too bad
He couldn't have picked one

That'd stop a bullet.

Yeah.

I meant to ask you,

Have you heard from your wife
Since she disappeared?

Yeah, I have, several times.

How's her health?

As far as I know, good.

She called you?

Where from?

I don't remember
Asking her that.

I really didn't care
Where she was.

Why was she calling?

She needed money,

Wanted to hurry up
The divorce settlement,

That kind of thing.

Okay, so you're telling me

That's she's alive
And well then?

As far as I know.

Can you tell me

How to get
In touch with her?

I'd like to speak
With her.

I have no idea.

She's pretty unreliable.

So start this again.

Okay, here's the window,

No here.

Excuse me.

I'm trying to find 322...

Hello. Excuse me?

I'm wondering,
Have you got a minute?

I'm trying to find...

This is supposed to be
Daniel dupont,

The record.

Yeah. Go right down here,
Turn to your right,

And it's right there
On the corner.

Are you kidding me?

I've been by here
Six times. Thanks.

Boy.

Oh, sorry.

The fire investigator
Wants to rule it accidental.

Accidental?

That's it?

The investigation's
Over already?

Well, not unless
I find something else unusual

In the next week or so.

I'm going to have to rule on it
And close the file.

Oh, well, okay.

You said you heard
Some information?

Oh yeah.

Well, my son was having
Some problems here

With shoplifters.

What kind of problems?

Well, you can see
Right here

He's got a lot
Of collectors' items,

A lot of rare records.

Right.

Last weekend, he told me
He was having problems

With a couple
Of shoplifters.

- oh yeah?
- a couple of them,

They stole some things
And he caught them.

Really?

So he reported them
To the police,

And then
They came back here

The next weekend
To the market here

And they threatened him.

I don't know

If there's anything
To that, but...

I guess
That's not too uncommon,

Shoplifters and all that,
You know.

I could check into it
If you like.

They might have found out
Where he lived,

Because he had a break-in
After that.

He had a break-in

In that basement suite?

- yeah.
- is that right?

And I had the security
Bars put on right after that.

You just had those installed
Last week?

I was worried about him,
You know,

His son staying there.

I didn't want anybody
Breaking in and scaring the kid.

I'm just thinking,

I'm wondering
If anybody around here

Might have overheard
Those threats?

There's a guy
In the next booth.

He's got a furniture stall.

He might have.

I wouldn't mind
Talking to him.

Well, he was here
Earlier.

I'm sure he's
Around here somewhere.

Looks like he's still open.

I'm kind of concerned,

Because that's
A lot of trouble to go through

To file a police report.

It must have been serious.

That's right,
But those police,

They should know
Those guys names.

Okay.

I'm going to check
Into that, too.

How's your son's
Wife, then?

How's she doing?

She's gone over
To see her mother on the island.

She had to get away.

Is that right?

Every time she turned around,
Something reminded her of...

Well, you know.

Yeah.

How about you?
How are you making out?

Me, I'm all right.

Just trying
To keep busy.

That's a good plan.

Don't you have another place
Downtown?

Don't you have a music store?

That's right.
I've been there over 30 years.

Yeah, I know
That place.

You teach music, too,
Don't you, piano?

Yeah.

I taught a lot of kids
Over the years.

Wow, dinah shore.

I'll bet that's
Worth something.

Yeah.

We're getting a bunch of hits
Off that metal detector.

They're could be
Anything under there.

Yeah, water pipes,
Sewer lines.

Yeah, well,

I'm going to have
To bust up the concrete
To find anything,

So what do you
Want me to do?

Start breaking up the floor,
I guess.

Might as well.

Your call.

Tell me where to start,
Because it's a crapshoot.

Well, if your
Old lady threatened

To rat you out
To the cops,

And you kill her,

Where down here
You going to bury her?

Well, I guess
I'd be thinking

About getting
Rid of her first,

And then I'd dig
Somewhere

Where nobody'd notice
The dirt's been dug up

If they happen
To come down here.

Right.

Bury her,
Call the contractor,

And he's going
To come down here

And check out the floor
Pretty good,

Prepare it a little bit,

Maybe level it out a bit
Before he pours the cement.

That's right.

That's your call there,
Chick.

You're the expert.

Start wherever you feel
You're going to get lucky.

But it's going to be
A lot of work.

All right, we better
Drill a few holes.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir?

Are you gordon,
By any chance?

Yeah, that's me.

Great. I've been
Looking for you.

- I'm from the coroner's
Office.
- okay.

I'm investigating

The death
Of daniel dupont.

Oh... That's
A sad thing.

Yeah, yeah.

Were you aware

Of the problems
He was having

With some
Shoplifters?

Yeah, that's right.

Anything you can
Tell me about it?

About the shoplifters?

Yeah.

Not really.

We get them down
Here sometimes.

Yeah.

Did he get any threats?

Did he tell you
About any threats

- that he received?
- from those guys?

From those guys,
Any guys.

You know...

I think those guys
Came back

And talked to him
In the parking lot

Before he made
The complaint.

Did he tell you
That he'd had a threat?

He did, yeah.

Now, he made
A police complaint.

Remember that?

Do you remember
When it was?

Yeah, two weekends ago.
Sunday, I think.

Two weekends ago,

And then
They came back

And they threatened him
When?

The next weekend.

That's
Last weekend.

Yeah, yeah,
Last weekend.

And what did he say
When they threatened him?

I think
He told them

He wouldn't
Be intimidated.

He was that kind of guy.

So that's the 12th.

You know he was
A good musician?

Yeah, I heard that.
That's true, eh?

Yeah.

- okay, thanks.
- uh...

His son died with him,
Is that right?

Yeah.

That's true.

At least they went together.

I don't think either of them

Would have survived
Losing the other.

They were joined
At the hip.

Okay.

Again, thank you.

Sure.

Good night.

Um...

Detective.

Hey.

What's going on?

Not much.
What's up with you?

Just chasing down
A possible arson thing.

You?

Digging up some guy's wife
He planted in the basement.

Oh, just who I
Want to see, too.

- hey, rose.
- angie.

- take it easy, dominic.
- what's shaking, rose?

Oh, we've got
Some bank robbers
Out from montreal

- keeping us entertained.
- is that right?

- what can I do for you?
- looking for a couple
Of shoplifters

That might have
Held up a record booth
At a flea market,

And then got picked up
By your guys.

Not enough people dying,

You got to chase down
Shoplifters?

Well, they threatened the guy
That phoned them in,

And then next thing you know,

He and his son
Both die in a fire.

I don't like it.

Listen,
I don't know that file myself,

But I'll check it out
And get back to you.

Tell wedgie
I'm interested, okay?

You still got my number?

Yeah. Hey, hey, it was good
How it worked out

For mick and leo
On that shooting.

- thanks for helping.
- yeah. Yeah, okay.

Take it easy.

You, too.

Hey, dominic.

Hi. How's it going?

Good. Look, I've got
A favor to ask.

What's going on with your dig
Down on powell street?

Powell street?

Yeah, on the edge
Of old chinatown there

By the water.

It's nothing to do
With me.

You've got
A pathologist on it.

Yeah, she's doing it
On her own, though,

With the anthropologist
From the university

Or something like that.
Why, what's going on?

I understand
That they've recovered
A half a dozen bodies.

- yeah. I heard that,
- look, I've got some friends

- who asked me
To intervene on their behalf.
- some friends of yours?

Yeah, from a chinese
Benevolent association.
The community has an interest

- in seeing
The remains properly buried.
- what makes your friends think

They won't get possession
Of the bones?

Well, you've seen what happens
To historical remains,

I mean, half the time,

They end up
In a university basement.

Yeah. Well, you've got
To talk to homicide about it,

Because they're
Involved down there now.

- what's their
Interest in it?
- there's another body

Recovered
From that same era

That your friends
Are interested in,

And this one's got
A bullet inside of the head.

- was the victim chinese?
- apparently.

So, you can
Run it by them.

I'm just trying to stay
Away from this one.

I've got enough problems
With people who died today.

Forget a hundred years ago.

- I understand.
- good luck on it.

Thanks. You too.

- hey.
- hey.

Some good news
Came in today.

Oh yeah?

You might want to pull
Your forensics squad

Out of the basement.

Sarah mills, alex mills' wife,

She heard
We were looking for her.

She's waiting in interview.

She wants to talk to you.

She's in interview?

Uh-huh.

He might have
Wanted to kill me,

But he didn't.

You can see that.

Old and in the way?

Whatever.

Come on. He kicked you
Back on the street when
He got tired of you.

No. I left.

Because he had a new girl

He wanted for a welfare fraud
You were into,

And you got jealous.

I don't know
About any other girl.

I just got sick of him.

So you left town
For a couple of years?

Uh-huh.

Why so long?

Got sick of the rain.

Why'd you come back?

Got sick
Of winnipeg.

So you back in touch
With your ex-husband?

No.

Alex's lawyer
Ran into a friend of mine.

I got a call
You people thought I was dead,

So... Here I am.

Okay.

Nothing else
You can tell me?

That's about it.

Okay. Good.

Are you going
To be seeing alex?

I probably will, yeah.

Tell him to give me
A call at my sister's.

Will you do that?

At your sister's?

All right, sure.

Take it easy.

So you don't like

Your space-heater
Theory anymore.

Nope.

We did
A mechanical check

On that old space heater,

And determined

That it wasn't even working
Before the fire.

- that's not
Going to play.
- nope.

So what are you thinking?

Well, I can't say.

Do you think
It's arson, or not?

Well, I'm not finding

Any concrete
Evidence of that.

Okay, well,
What about the outside?
Anything out there?

We've got
Something out there,
But it could be nothing.

What do you got?

We found

A whole bunch
Of cigarette butts

Around here,
Underneath the window.

Yeah...

So somebody was smoking
Here, for sure.

Notice, you've got
All these footprints, too.

Well, that could
Be our people.

We stomped
All over the place

When we responded
To the call,

So that could be
Our people.

Okay, so a live butt,

A cigarette butt or something
Through this window,

There might have been rags--
Is that where you're
Going with this?

I think
The tenant himself

Flicked his cigarette
Out the window.

We didn't find a butt
On the inside,

But part of the hot ember
Could have landed in there

Without his knowing it.

Do we know if he was a smoker?

According to
His father, he was,

And we found
A pack of smokes
In the bedroom,

And then there's
More cigarette butts

Around the other side
Under his bedroom window.

So he had a habit

Of tossing
His cigarette butts

Out the window, then?

Yeah, I think so.

Maybe he wanted to

Not expose his son
To the smoke or whatever.

Do you think
That could do that, though?

A live ember could light
Those rags up like that?

Yeah. See, I think
He's in the habit

Of flicking his butts
Out the window,

But then he puts in
These security bars,

It bounces off that,

But part of the hot ember
Lands inside the house.

Geez.

Yeah.

Is that how
You're calling this one?

No.

My official call

Is the origin of the fire
Is undetermined.

Undetermined origin.

Hey, guys.

So these were
With the bones.

Yeah.
Right next to them.

Chick said there's
Some chinese writing on them,

Maybe a manufacturer's name.

- yeah, that's chinese.
- what's it say?

Well, I can't make
Out all of it,

But this part here
Definitely says
San francisco.

Can you guys
Tell me anything else?

So far,
All we've got

Is what you just told us
About san francisco.

You have some friends
In these societies

Who might be interested in this,
Apparently.

Is that right?

Yeah. They think that
Some of these remains

May be family members,
Ancestors.

Well, it would be good
To know why know,

'cause we're just
In the dark.

Maybe if you guys
Could help them

Seize some of the remains
That they're interested in,

Prevent those
From being tied up
By the university,

I'm sure they'd be
Happy to help you out.

We could probably
Help them out there.Ere.

I'll put them in touch.

Undetermined?
Well, what is that
Supposed to mean?

Well, it means we can't
Say for certain
What occurred.

Well, I'd like to know

What you think
Might have happened.

All we can say for certain

Is the fire started
Underneath the laundry tubs,

In those old rags,

But we can't say how or why
They ignited, you know?

What about those guys,

Those guys
Who threatened my son?

What'd they have to say?

We haven't spoken
To them yet.

- are you going to?
- I plan to.

And you'll let me know
When you do.

I will, sir. Yes.

It's been hard.

With daniel
And peter gone,

That's the end
Of the family line.

That's the end
Of the line.

Chick, I've got
To shut this down.

The guy's wife
Turned up alive.

She showed up?

You've got
To wrap this up.

Okay. What do you
Want me to do

With that skeleton
I found in there?

These are female, young.

We've got
Clothing remnants,

Good set of dental,
And, best of all,

The purse
Was buried with her.

If this was her,

Her name is
Roberta vale.

The bones and artifacts
We dug up earlier

Have nothing to do with
The guy with the bullet
In his head.

You don't know that.
That's just your theory, right?

I think
I do know that.

So you know
Who the guy

With the bullet
In his skull is,

And you know
Who shot him?

No.

You don't know
They're not related.

This could be
The site of a mass murder.

Come on. Mass murder?
Give me a break.

It's a bunch of remains
Of immigrant laborers,
Period.

Well, whatever it is,
We need to get a look
At those remains.

What guarantee do I have
That they'll be
Returned to me

- when the work is through?
- when that time comes,

Then we'll talk
About ownership.

Right now,
All the work has
Got to be suspended.

Yeah?

Hi. Mr. Steadman's here.

Okay, send him in.

- what's wrong?
- he's been drinking.

Okay, bring him in.

Mr. Steadman.

Hi.

How are you doing?

How am I doing?

How do you think
I'm doing?

I just realized

I don't even know
What your first name is.

I've forgotten it.

What is it?

Morris.

Morris. Dominic.

Morris, thanks
For coming in.

You want to take a seat?

So you got
Any stuff for me

- about my daughter's
Murder?
- no, no.

Like I say,

I don't believe
It's murder.

I still don't believe
That's a murder,

And if we could,

If we don't have
To get into that right now,

I'd really appreciate it.
Just allow me that, okay?

I've got
A problem, morris.

You know,
I wonder if I could
Get your help on it.

Help you?

You're supposed to be
Helping me,

But you've been ignoring me.

I know I'm selfish
To ask you this,

But I've got a situation here,

I don't know
How to deal with it.

Okay, I've got this guy,
I know this guy,

And he's lost

His son and
His grandson in a fire.

I know nothing about that.

Well, what
I was hoping for

Was I could
Talk you into

Having a conversation
With him.

If you could
Talk to him.

Okay?

The situation
That he's in

And the things that
You've been through,

Well, I think
It would help him

To see some things.

I'm not in no shape
To help nobody.

Morris, you know,

If you could maybe
Just pick up the phone

And give him
A telephone call...

I've got his number
Right over here.

Mr. Yu says

In 1907,
There was a riot in chinatown.

All those
Against the chinese immigrants

Came down to chinatown,

Looking for anybody
They could find.

A lot of white people
Attacked chinese people.

They threw rocks,
Set a lot of fires.

Set the building
Where we found the bones
On fire, as well.

The fire happened
The night of the riot?
The building one?

- yeah. That's what
The records show.
- does he know anything

About the people

That were running
The produce warehouse?

[ speaking chinese ]

Yeah. He says
Mostly business people.

Places like this
Were used for meetings,
Community concerns.

Such as what?

Common interests.

The chinese benevolent society
Used the space.

Tong members would gather
And have meetings.

Any way of knowing

Who occupied
The building

The night
Of the riot?

He says he doesn't
Really know.

I mean, everybody
Ran to defend their homes.

Were any
Of the rioters

Carrying guns?

Weapons?

How about the chinese people
That were defending their homes?

Did they have any guns?

He says a few, yes,

But many more chinese
Bought guns after the riot.

So the victim we found

Could've been shot
By one of the rioters.

Yeah, it's possible, yes.

We need to try
And identify this guy.

Ask him
If there were any murders

That were reported
The night of the riot.

Missing people?
Anything like that?

No.

Okay, well,

Tell him
Thank you very much.

- hey.
- hey, rose.

These are the two jokers
You've been looking for.

You talk to them?

Not yet.

You looking at arson?

No. The fire investigator
Is starting to think

It was the guy himself,
Dropping a cigarette.

You might want to take
Another look at that.

I got a second report
In there from the tenant,

A b&e for
The week before.

Oh yeah?

That's why they put
The security bars up.

Yeah. If you read
The guy's report,

He says
He thought he saw
Two guys in the alley

For two nights running,
Scoping the house.

He thought
For a burglary,

After he made
The shoplifting complaint.

Two guys in the alley?

Two guys smoking
In the alley.

Well, okay. Great.
That was fast.

- thanks, rose.
- no problem.

So where'd you
Find my sister?

In the basement
Of a house in the east end.

When did you
See her last?

I saw roberta

The saturday before
She disappeared.

And it was
The following monday
She disappeared?

She was supposed
To call me,

But she never did.

Okay, so what'd you do

That saturday
You were together?

We went to the p.N.E.
And rode the roller coaster.

I mean, we always
Had to be there,

Like, the very first day
The fairgrounds opened.

Anything else that day?

No. Not really.

I mean, we did the fair,
She got on a bus,

And that's the last
Time I saw her.

Okay.

Now, I understand
From missing persons

That your sister
Had some drug problems.

Yeah, she did.

I mean, she was
Living on the street
By the time she was 14.

Do you have any idea
Who her friends were?

Not really, no.

I mean, she had
Her street friends.
You know those types?

Hookers.

She was just hooking
To make money.

How about
Where was she living?

She had a place,
One of those hotels downtown.

I was never there.

- she just told me
About it.
- okay.

Is there anything else
That you can remember
That might help me out?

I don't know.

She said something about

How things were starting
To look up for her.

How so?

I didn't ask her.

I didn't want to know.

I mean, whatever it was,

It was always
A scam of some kind.

You know, some people,
They'll work hard
All their lives

Trying to get
Something for nothing.
That's my sister.

Well, it looks like you guys
Are in the same boat as we are

With all those other bones
That got dug up.

How are you going
To identify those?

I have no idea.

We're going
To get to the remains,

And dig into the piles
A little bit further,

- you know, pray for luck.
- well, I hope you get some.

Yeah, you too.

Good luck
On that dead guy.

I think this guy

Was just in the wrong place
At the wrong time,

Got hit by a stray bullet.

You're
Thinking random?

Yeah,
A turn-of-the-century drive-by.

Random
Doesn't sound right to me.

Maybe if it was
In on the street, yeah,

But this guy
Was in the basement,

Hiding from rioters
Looking to lynch somebody.

How random
Could that be?

Your victim was killed

With what I'm going to guess
Was an axe.

You can see numerous cuts
On the skull here,

The ribs, on the spine,
Shoulders, neck.

I'd say she received
A dozen blows, maybe more.

No way of knowing
If she was being cut up,

Or are these
All pre-mortem?

The first couple of blows
To the head

Would have killed her,

So either the killer went
On chopping in a rage,

Or started in on
Chopping up the body,

And abandoned the plan.

Was it one assailant?
Can you tell?

It's impossible to say.

The victim, roberta,

I'm thinking
She had to be involved

With alex and his wife
Somehow.

Maybe she was the other girl
In the welfare scam.

I don't know,
Maybe it was something else.

Maybe they were
Both into dealing,

Prostitution--

Have you got anything

That can tie
Your dead girl to them,

A witness, something
From forensics--

- not yet, no.
- thanks.

But it was either them
Or they rented out

Grave space
In their basement.

I mean, they're the only ones
Who can tell us that.

What about
Your squatter?

- anything new?
- nah.

The neighbor couldn't pin down
A time when they were there.

Tell me what
You do have, then?

I have
A woman's butchered body

In this guy's basement.

All right,
What's your next step?

I don't have anything
To hold alex any longer,

So all I can do
Is ask you to okay surveillance

On alex and his wife,

Apply for
A part-six authorization

So we can wire up
Their phones.

You're asking
For surveillance,

Doing a part six,

Sounds like you want to go
All the way on this.

I want to do it right.

Okay, you put your team
Together,

And I'll get
An undercover operator in.

Who do you want to handle him?

Me. I've had the course.

Have you handled
Operators before?

I'm ready for one.

Okay.

Well, I'll see
What's in our budget

And who's available
To work u.C. On this.

Okay. Thanks.

Yeah.

I spotted the two of them
Checking out

The record stand
Again,

Looking to see
If anybody was around,

So I get a hold of joe,

And he comes over,

I get louise

To bring a pair of handcuffs
That she's got for sale,

There's no key,

And we jump the one of them

As he's trying
To weasel out the side door.

- you jumped him?
- I jumped him,

And the other guy ran,

And, hey, there he is.

You're in a lot
Of -- now, gary,

Because you're involved
In a homicide.

Hey, rose.

This is
One of your guys.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

He doesn't think
It's too serious.

He doesn't?
Burning down a house,
That's pretty serious,

- especially when
There's people in there.
- I was advising him

- you're thinking homicide.
- that's pretty much how it's
Looking, yeah, yeah.

I want you to talk to me
A little bit about daniel

- and the little
Record shop in here.
- he called the cops on us.

- these are your cigarettes?
- yeah, and I'm having one.

No. You're not having any.

We found some
Cigarettes over there,

Outside the window
At the fire scene,

And we can get dna
Of those,

And see if you're the guy
That was smoking them.

I don't know
What fire you're talking about.

You don't?

Okay, well,
We've got a police report,

In which daniel

Says that
You and your friend, jack,

Were outside his house,
In the alley,

And you were
Checking out his place.

Then we got a second report
That says you threatened him.

Then, of course,
We've got the fire,

In which he and his son
Died inside there,

Which brings me back
To these cigarettes,

Because, you know what,

We found
Some cigarettes out there

At the crime scene,

And they're the same brand
As these.

Lots of people smoke those.

- your friend
Smoke these?
- no.

So it's just you
That smokes those?
Okay. That's good.

I smoke them,

I didn't burn
Anybody's house down.

But you knew that house.

You knew where he lived.

You were described
As being there.

You know what
I'm going to do?

I'm going to
Go back over there,

And I'm going to
Look for your prints

From when you broke
In to the house.

She gets those prints,
And you're pretty much done,

Because I'll
Tell you right now,

We've got shoe prints,

And I'm betting
Those are yours,

Out there in the alley,
All over the damn place.

And we've got
The cigarettes

With your dna.

You understand, gary,
What dna is?

Dna is like a...
It's like a signature.

It places you
Directly at the scene.

I didn't set a fire.

All I did
Was steal some records.

Well, maybe your friend, jack,
Will roll over on you first.

That's how it goes, gary.

The first guy to sing
Gets set free.

You trust your friend, jack?

You think he's not
Going to rat you out?

I didn't set a fire.
I didn't set a fire!

I'm not buying
Your little story here.
I'm just not buying it.

I see you standing there
On the scene there,

Smoking a cigarette,

Because your buddy, jack,
Does not smoke cigarettes,

It's you.

There's no evidence

To put your friend, jack,
Anywhere near that scene,

Just you, and right about now,
My temptation is

To take you over to my car--
That's what I'm going to do--

Take you over to my car,
Put you in the trunk,

And beat you.
Do you want that?
Do you want that?

- dominic...
- I've got two people dead.

One's a little kid.
Stick your tongue
Out at me....

Can I
Talk to you?

Just rip
His face right off.

Just wait right
There, my friend, okay?

You wait right there.

Go get him.

- I want this
To happen right here.
- okay.

He doesn't believe you.
He thinks you're guilty.

- I didn't do it.
- yeah, well,

He's going to find a way
To get you found guilty.

If he wants you guilty,
Believe me, you're guilty.

Is there anything
You can tell him

To back him off?

Jack did it.

He broke into the house.

It wasn't me.

There's no evidence
Of jack being there,

That's the problem.

He was there.
He did it!

All right, but
You see my problem,

Don't you?

Why don't you take us
Back over there

Show us
What happened,

Where you were,

Where jack was.

Maybe we can get you
Out of this.

I'm not going
Anywhere alone with him.

Okay. All right.

You can ride over
With me.

Let me see if he'll
Agree to that, okay?

Okay.

He's going to take us
Over to the crime scene.

Oh yeah?

You take him
To the crime scene,

You're pretty much
Burning him off as a suspect.

Well, he's going to
Put the other guy in,

We use him
As our key witness,
Drop him as a suspect.

If he's going to
Put the other guy,
That's homicide, 100%,

So we should be
Calling homicide.

Do me a favor.

Let me keep this case.

Everybody wants it
To be in homicide, huh?

The way I'm looking at it,
They could use the help.

All right.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

I'm going to go ahead
With your undercover request.

There's an operator
By the name of danny leary,

So happens to be mick's brother,
And he's supposed to be good.

Oh yeah? Okay.

Get your background materials
Together for him,

And get me your picks
For the cover team,

And go to work

As soon as leary
Gets into town.

Okay, great. Thanks.

This is an expensive deal,

Over six grand a day
Just for the bare bones.

- I want results.
- me too.

So we've got the artifacts
Back from the university,

And we found some bricks

Packed in the boxes
With the bones.

Bricks?
What kind of bricks?

Well, mr. Yu says here

That the bricks
Identify the bodies.

Each brick
Has a family name on it,

As well as the name

Of a village
Back in mainland china.

Any brick
For our guy?

No.

12 bricks,
And your guy didn't get one.

No 13th brick.

No. I don't think so.

There were 12 boxes,
12 skeletons, 12 bricks,

All packed
And ready to ship.

- I don't think
Your guy's related.
- yeah, we figured that.

So you're
Going to send

These other bones
Back to china?

No. It's too late
For that.

They won't take
Bones anymore,

So we're
Going to have

A private service
For them here.

I had a visit
From your wife.

Yeah, I heard
She was back in town.

Yeah. She wants you

To call her
Over at her sister's place.

Thanks for the message.

So I'm going
To start the paperwork

To get you out of here.

That's good to hear.

And I'm going
To suggest to you

That you stay out
Of this end of the city,

And away
From the women down here.

I think I have the right

To go wherever I want
And be with whoever I want

Without being threatened
By the police.

Don't misunderstand me.

It is not a threat
From the police.

Tell us where you were.

I was standing
At the back fence, right there.

I was watching the alley.

Where was jack?

He went up
To the house.

Show us.

He went up
To this window.

He couldn't get in.

Because of
These security bars.

Where were you?

Back at the fence.

You were back at that fence
The whole time?

Yes.

How come we've got
Your cigarette butts

Standing outside
This window here?

How are you smoking
Those cigarettes

And standing
Around the gate?

That was from
The time before,

When jack broke in
The first time.

I was watching from there.

So you're saying
The night of the fire,

You didn't come back up here
To the house?

No.

I don't know
How you can prove that.

I don't have one clue.

How are you going to prove

That you weren't
The guy on the night

That put the cigarette
In there

That killed that little boy
And his father?

What if I were to tell you
I got your fingerprints

All over the outside
Of that damn window?

What if I told you
The basement door over here,

We got your fingerprints
All over that, too?

You know what happens

If I place you
Inside this basement?

You are done, my friend,
You are done.

Why? Because we've got
Your fingerprints.

We can't date those.

We can't prove

That those fingerprints
Did not originate

From the night of the fire,
Right?

Same with the dna
On the cigarettes there,

Those cigarettes.

Nothing is saying
That you didn't smoke those

- the night of the fire.
- so you see how it looks,
Right?

You've got a little kid,
The father,

You're the arsonist,

And your pal, jack's,
Laughing at you.

He touched
The lighter fluid can.

Maybe you can get it
Off that.

Where's that can?

It's up the alley
Somewhere.

He chucked it
In the garbage can.

No, no, no, no.

You see, they pick up
The garbage around here,

Like, mondays, tuesdays,
Something like that.

What if it's gone?
Then what?

Maybe the pillow case's
Still in the garage.

Maybe you can get
Prints off that.

Pillow case?
What pillow case?

He took a pillow case
Off the neighbors' line,

He soaked it,
He tore a piece off,

He put the rest
In the garage.

He used
A piece of the pillow case

To start the fire?

Yeah.

He lit it,
And he dropped it inside.

I don't think

We can get the prints
Off the sheet.

We'll try, but I think

We're going to need
That lighter fluid.

We need the can.

I know it's down the alley.

I don't remember
Which garbage can it is.

Let's take a look now.
