Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

We got the call About an hour ago.

Crash was already On the scene when We got here.

- it's grim. - oh, jeez.

Yeah. I didn't like Leaving him hanging there,

But I knew You'd want to see it.

Thanks.

I'll just Grab some pictures,

And then we can Get him down.

Who found him?

Security guard Making his rounds.

Did you find a note Or anything?

No, I didn't find Anything like that. But it's weird.

He's 11 years old.

You know him?

How do you know him?

He just lives down there Near wall street.

Oh yeah?

My partner and I

Got called there A couple of times

On domestic disputes.

Oh yeah?

Anything serious Going on over there?

Not really.

It was the kid Who made all the calls.

The kid made The 911 calls?

Yeah.

He was kind of Being a nuisance.

So what was Going on there

When you got there?

Mr. Kauff, The father,

Would be agitated About something

And we'd Calm him down.

Yeah?

What was going on?

The father was Hurting anybody

In there or what?

No, nothing Like that.

The kid would get upset About the yelling.

We didn't take it Too seriously

Because we'd had dealings With the kid before.

Dealings? What kind of dealings?

Can you just hold this for me For a second?

I've got to get a shot Of that rope up there.

What kind of dealings Did you have before?

Just trouble In the neighborhood.

You know, Little things

Like setting Garbage cans on fire,

Putting graffiti On a guy's garage, Stuff like that.

Oh yeah. He's 11 years old,

So they can't really Charge him, eh?

Yeah.

Not for the mischief, Anyway.

His mother claimed

The neighbors Blamed her son

For everything.

What about the father? What did he say?

He just seemed stunned By the whole thing.

Yeah?

Okay, well, I'm going to Call body pickup then.

I want you To go over to the mother there

And ask her For a list of the boy's friends

And see if Between that and the school

If we can find out some reason

Why this kid would go and do Something like this, okay?

Yeah, okay.

All right. I'm out of here.

See you.

Hey, angela.

Are you close to a confession On your undercover operation?

Yeah, we're close.

Because that's not The story I'm getting.

I've read Your surveillance reports.

Maybe it's time

You thought about Reevaluating your plan.

- I'm handling it. - well, I hope so,

Because we can't afford To bring anybody else into it This late in the game.

Yeah, I'm handling it.

Well, then,

Get me some results.

Look, just don't make me regret Giving this to you.

[ telephone ringing ]

Empress bar.

It's for you.

Who is it?

Who's this?

It's your garage.

If you bring your car This morning,

They can take A look at it,

Otherwise, It's next week.

No?

Hello.

Yeah.

Okay, okay.

Okay, I'll bring it in.

Thanks.

I'll be half an hour.

We got sarah Pretty wound up.

After you came in And talked to her,

She didn't sleep A wink,

And, well,

She didn't sleep Last night again,

And that's been Going on for about a week.

Did she say anything To you at all?

Nothing,

And I'm not pressing,

Just letting her think I'm her best friend.

Well, we got to Heat her up somehow.

Kurtz read me the riot act.

Yeah, all right.

Well, so what have you got On the husband?

What's he doing?

Having a few Technical difficulties

With the wire in his place.

Luckily, he's keeping His head down.

He didn't go anywhere Except his hangouts.

If he's worried,

He ain't breaking any habits Over it.

That you know of,

So let's get that wire up, Like, yesterday,

Because I don't want Any doubts

If she ends up at his place Spilling her heart to him.

Just worry about yourself, All right?

That's why we're Paying you overtime.

Maybe you want me To come out and say,

"Hey, did you kill that woman In the basement

At your husband's house?"

Because I can do that.

Yeah? Well, maybe you should,

Because I've got no time left On the clock.

But she doesn't need To know that.

Look, just let her know

That you're Keeping an eye on her,

That the pressure's Not going away.

She's going to start wondering If you know about the body,

Turning that around in her mind, Thinking about that,

Wondering how You can catch her on it.

She's going to want to know What you've got.

We've got zero, danny. Zero.

Again, She doesn't need to know that.

She's probably thinking If you get the body,

Then someone's been telling you She's involved.

Yeah, if she was even involved, Which I'm beginning to wonder.

She's involved.

She may not have Killed the woman,

But she definitely Had a hand

In burying her.

Okay, look,

All you need is A little bit of leverage,

And she's going to Tip right over.

I've got absolutely nothing To leverage with.

Nothing.

Well, if you've got nothing,

Then you might as well Pull out your bag of tricks

And let everything loose

And see what pushes her buttons.

I think I told you Last time.

I didn't know anything About this missing woman.

We've got evidence

That your husband Was involved

With this girl,

With several missing Women, actually.

You've got evidence of that, Arrest him.

You know, Right now,

I've got Half my squad

Working on a case Alex can't slip out of,

And you're part of it.

Evidence is falling Into place piece by piece.

We're interviewing people, Executing search warrants.

Now, I need to know If you're going to be

A cooperative witness Or a suspect.

That's why I'm here.

The water's rising.

I've got to know Where you stand.

I would like to cooperate,

But I don't know anything To cooperate with.

Okay, well, you decide

If that's your final position In this,

Because I think We can work together on this,

Spend some time finding out Exactly what you do know,

But I'm not interested In saving your ass

If you don't Want it saved.

I don't know.

You know your husband Is the number-one suspect

In these disappearances. You know that, right?

He didn't do that.

I think he did,

And my chief thinks he did And my sergeant thinks he did,

And they're all giving me The green light

To take whatever the hell Time and money it takes

To make this case on alex,

So you'd better Think about

What side of all that You want to be on,

And then maybe I can go back And tell them that you're in,

And we can start thinking about The witness protection program

And everything else We've got to get started on.

Witness protection.

Why would I need that?

Because A guy like alex

Isn't going to sit back

And let you blab All you know about it,

And I don't know why

You wouldn't Want it anyway.

You get a new identity, A job, a place to live.

Look, I can't make any promises At this point,

But it's a pretty cozy deal

When you think about The alternative.

The alternative?

Yeah. What we've been Talking about here.

You'll be done as an accessory.

I wasn't an accessory To anything he did.

Look, my sergeant wanted me To pop you today for this,

But I'm going to Go out on a limb,

Because I think you want to Rethink your position

On this whole thing.

Am I right?

I don't know. I don't know anything.

He didn't do that.

I think You should sleep on this.

We'll talk later If you change your mind.

We can hammer out the details.

We haven't had Much of a chance to talk

Since the shooting,

So I hope you don't mind Taking a few minutes.

No. Sure.

I've been looking over Your record,

And it seems that you've had A pretty solid closure rate

Since you started with homicide.

Yeah.

Yeah, leo and I,

We've closed quite a few cases I feel pretty good about.

Well, thinking ahead here,

I see a lot of opportunity For advancement.

Have you thought about that,

The direction You want your career to take?

No, not really.

I haven't put Too much thought into it, no.

Leo is at the end of his career, And you're just starting yours.

You need to start considering Your options.

I'm not exactly sure What you're saying,

But if...

I think you're saying I should change partners.

I don't want to do that.

I work with leo.

I like it. I want to keep that way.

Well, I am thinking About assigning you

To work with another detective.

Now, it would look better On your record

If you made that decision.

You need to start Thinking about that seriously.

Really?

Really.

That's it?

That's it.

What was All that about?

She just wanted to make sure I've got my head on,

Still seeing a therapist And all that.

Yeah, I kind of like The department shrink.

She sort of Understands

What's going on With me and lana.

And I'm sucking up To her, too,

Because I want A good report.

That's good.

Hey, ange.

Hey.

What's going on?

Just working That undercover thing.

I'll tell you, I'll be glad when it's over.

I've got to go to the bank For about 15 minutes.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

I've just got to pay Some bills

Before they cut me off.

So long as You're going,

You can pay A couple of mine.

You wish.

Guess she wound her up Pretty good.

[ pager beeping ]

A detective From homicide,

She says you were involved With these missing prostitutes.

What'd she ask you about?

Yeah, could I get a coffee?

They said They have evidence.

They're just trying To work you up.

Have they been talking to you About--

Yeah.

What have they actually Asked you about?

They asked me About you

And my involvement With you,

What have you done...

And they say They have evidence...

I think you're going to want to Talk to someone,

So we have some people That are really pretty good.

I've written down a number And a name of a lady

To call here, all right?

You should Call this number, okay?

And the other side Is my card.

There's my number. Call if you need anything.

Thank you.

I'm serious about this.

All right.

Now, I only have A couple of questions.

Are you up to it?

I think so.

Okay.

Was there a note?

Did your son Leave a note,

Or did he say Anything to you

About why he Might have done this?

No.

No, nothing,

But nelson's had problems, You know.

He's been on antidepressants.

Oh, has he?

Okay, I'm going to have to Get a look at that medication,

Okay?

Okay.

And what about The boy's father?

Is he home?

Tom passed about a month ago.

His heart... His heart was bad.

Oh, I'm sorry.

How was nelson handling that, His father's death?

Not very well.

Pretty tough?

Yeah.

So was he seeing anybody, A therapist?

Just the family doctor.

There was something else.

You mentioned He was having troubles with...

He was getting into some trouble At school

Where he was starting fires.

What was all that about?

He was accused Of that.

Was it unfounded, in your view?

Nelson said he didn't do it,

And, uh...I believed him.

What about his father? Did he believe him?

No.

So they were arguing About that, were they?

Yes.

Do you think that was A contributing factor

To his anxiety and...

I'm sorry to do this.

I'm just trying to get a picture

Of what's Going on here.

What was going on

Was that nelson and tom Loved each other.

Tom was just trying To be a good father,

And nelson was trying To be a good son,

And they were trying To work it out.

Okay.

I just need to get a look At those drugs.

It's in The bathroom medicine cabinet.

I'll show you.

Over there.

Right in the chest Here?

I'm going to have to Get them out.

That's fine.

Those aren't his.

The other ones are nelson's.

Whose are these?

They were My husband's.

I meant To throw them out.

These are antidepressants As well.

- he was on those, too? - yeah.

These are both Prescribed

By the same doctor.

Yeah, dr. Ludlow.

I've got to go And phone my mom.

All right.

I'll just do this and I'm done.

Hey.

You know how this Witness protection thing works?

What, The witness protection plan?

Yeah.

Do you think it's a good deal?

What? Yeah, sure.

Yeah, I mean, you know,

If you want to live Like a rat in a box

The rest of your life.

Why? What's going on?

I got offered.

You got offered The witness protection plan?

Yeah.

Wow.

What's that about?

Just tell me What you think.

I don't know.

You know,

They promise you this, They promise you that,

And when The time comes

They're long gone.

If they're offering it to you,

They're probably offering it To everybody.

My husband.

What, your old man, Has he got something on you?

Can he rat you out?

I guess he does, yeah.

Well, then, You've got no choice.

You've got to hit him

Before he hits you.

I won't have him killed.

I didn't mean that.

I meant, you know,

Take the deal.

Well, if I take the deal, Then what?

I've got to testify against him,

And then, you know,

What if they change their mind In the middle of it,

And decide after awhile

That it's me

That's going to go To jail for it?

What, this is...

A serious thing?

Pretty serious, yeah.

I don't know, You know.

Between trusting your old man And the cops,

I don't know.

It's tough to say.

I wouldn't mind Moving away some place.

Get the hell away From everything.

Arizona.

Arizona.

Yeah.

See what you can do

About tracking down This guy here.

It's father and son Medication.

A number on there. - o- okay.E's

Dominic.

How's the inquiry Into regina king going?

So far, no witnesses.

Come on in.

20 aboriginal girls, Teenagers,

All have tubal ligations

Performed By this doctor,

And nobody else Knows anything.

Nobody knows anything. That's what I'm telling you.

What about the doctor

Who performed Her tubal ligation

On the reserve?

Oh, dr. Wyman.

Well, I sent the sheriff twice To his house,

And he wasn't there.

And you can't find The foster families Or the parents

Who signed the consent forms For the sterilization?

No. Can't find anyone.

I think you're forgetting This all happened 20 years ago,

Right?

So are you going to Drop the inquiry or what?

No, no.

No, all this means Is that if one day

People don't miraculously Want to leave this earth,

And I've got a few minutes To look into it,

I'll do it, okay?

Have you got any objection

To me trying to talk To dr. Wyman myself?

If you can find him, Be my guest.

I was talking To mick.

He thinks I should Get out of the job,

Retire.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

Settle down, Maybe here, vancouver,

Get a straight gig.

Can we just Get through this thing,

Okay?

So where the hell Did the witness protection thing

Come from?

I don't know.

I was just thinking I'm desperate, what the hell.

Well, as soon as You mentioned it,

She must have started Thinking about it,

Because she bought Right into it,

You know, started asking me All about it,

How much did I think she'd get, Where it might be good to live.

I can't come back at her With more of that,

Details of the witness program.

It's bad enough I brought it up In the first place.

Well, you could go The other way.

The other way?

Yeah, you know,

Pull the rug out Like you did before.

I can't believe Nelson would kill himself.

Gosh, his poor mother.

I have to see The file.

Absolutely. It's right here.

Great.

I understand He's on antidepressants,

This boy.

How long was he On antidepressants for?

Two years.

Two years?

Yeah.

That makes him nine years old.

Boy, nine years old.

Well, you know, He was wetting the bed.

He had severe anxiety problems,

So I prescribed

One of the newer Antidepressants,

A selective serotonin Re-uptake inhibitor, or ssri.

Anyway,

It seemed To be working.

Seemed to be working?

Yeah.

Could you elaborate On that?

Well, his mom said He'd stopped wetting the bed.

Well, did he ever talk to you

About the things That were bothering him,

The problems he might have had?

Yeah, yeah, Well, only in a general sense.

Okay, In a general sense,

What kind of things Bothered him?

You know, the usual thing, Like school, parents, friends.

He sometimes felt That didn't fit in.

You know, he was accused Of starting fires.

Yeah, he mentioned that to me.

- oh yeah? - yeah.

Didn't set off Any bells for you, eh?

No, no. I increased his dosage,

And he seemed to be adjusting After that.

So you increased His dosage?

Mm-hmm, yeah.

So there's nothing there,

No red flags That popped up in your head

That he might Commit suicide?

God, no. I mean, He was on antidepressants.

Suicide just wasn't something I thought he'd do.

I guess you were wrong.

Yeah.

I need a copy of that file. I'll wait right here.

Absolutely.

Can I use this pen?

Be my guest.

About the time

Before I cut a deal With her?

I think I'd like to mention

That she's got a record For prostitution,

Cheque forgery,

And, uh, She's really not very reliable.

I think she is.

What has she told you?

Point is,

What are you Going to tell me?

I've got one deal to make, Not two.

Either you make it with me, Or I make it with her.

Hmm.

Who killed himself.

I'm just waiting for the autopsy On that.

And his doctor's name Was ludlow?

You know him?

I know the name.

About four years ago, When I was still crown attorney,

We tried to file charges Against him.

For what?

Two men overdosed On their medication,

And it looked as if ludlow Had overprescribed their dosage.

How come those charges Didn't get filed?

We didn't have A strong enough case,

So keep me up to date On this one, okay?

As always.

No, not always, But on this one, okay?

Yes, sir.

He's in there with them Right now.

You saw him In there?

There was some attorney And--for the crown.

They cut him a deal.

And what,

They just let you see him In there, doing that?

Yeah, I could see everything.

Oh, sarah. They're winding you up. It's a charade.

No, I don't think so.

I heard him.

I heard what he was saying.

He was talking about me.

You heard him put you In something?

You heard him Say that?

You heard him say, "Me and sarah did something?"

Yeah. Well, he was going to.

He was waiting for his attorney.

He was going to.

All right, all right. Calm down.

What does he have on you?

A woman who got killed.

I...I was there.

You were there.

Yeah.

And what, that's it? That's your involvement?

Uh-huh.

Okay, so if he talks, that's it. That's all they have.

It's his word Against yours.

No, there's more. There's evidence.

If they had evidence,

You'd be downtown in handcuffs Right now, don't you think?

He'll talk about it, And then they'll find her.

My god, I've got to get out of this car.

Wait a sec.

I've got to get some air. Just pull over.

- hey, what are you doing? - I've got to go.

Where are you going?

Nobody's seen her?

She didn't go To her place. I was watching,

And she didn't come To work this morning.

I hope I didn't Freak her.

Were we on alex All night?

We're still on him now.

Was he in his place? Are you sure?

Oh, we think. That monitor keeps Messing up.

What, are you kidding me?

What is this, Amateur time?

Hey, you're the one

Who let her jump out Of your car, all right,

So don't go off On anybody.

Hey, you wind up Your prime suspect,

You don't let him Out of your sight

To go after Your only witness.

I just want To point that out.

So nothing unusual?

No.

Nelson kauff died As a result of the hanging.

Mm-hmm.

All of the artifacts Were consistent

With him having done it On his own.

Oh yeah?

And what about The antidepressants?

Did you look into Those?

He was on one of those Newer serotonin drugs.

I had tox screen for it, And he had it in his system.

Oh yeah,

And the dosage level on board, Was that normal to you, or...

It was on the high side,

But within the parameters For this particular drug.

- can you give me a hand? - yeah, sure.

Which way? Want it this way?

I'm also curious About side effects here.

I read something Somewhere

That, uh, Suicidal tendencies

Are one Of the side effects

From taking These antidepressants.

What's all that?

Well, the data's Still pretty sketchy on that.

You don't expect To hear that, though, really.

If people are taking These kinds of drugs,

You don't think they'll be Stringing themselves up

Necessarily, do you?

No, but any time you're dealing With mood-altering drugs,

You run the risk They'll stop working suddenly.

Explain that to me. How does that happen?

- nobody knows. - nobody knows?

They're not even completely sure Why they work.

No sign of her.

Did you call her?

Yeah, all morning.

Damn it.

- excuse me? - yeah?

I'm looking For sarah mills.

Is she working today?

No, she's not in.

If she does come in,

Could you tell her

That her husband Is looking for her?

Okay. Is there Any message?

No. Just dropped by.

All right. I'll let her know.

The wire in her house Is working, right?

Yeah. Relax. We checked. There's nothing on it.

[ knocking ]

Come in.

Okay, so according to the tox

Which just came back On nelson kauff,

He didn't overdose on the meds.

The doctor, dr. Ludlow there,

Was right on the money With the prescription.

- I see. - sorry.

Well, perhaps another time.

I guess so,

So if it's okay with you,

I'll sign off on this one?

I guess you have to.

I pretty much have to.

Boy, it's a sad story.

Yeah. Well, you looked into it, There was nothing there.

Nothing there.

All right. Thanks.

Dr. Wyman?

Yes?

Uh, I'm dr. Patricia da vinci.

I'm a pathologist With the coroner's office.

Yes?

You're a difficult man To get ahold of.

Uh, well, I've been away. What's this about?

Well, we had a death, An aboriginal woman,

And I think you might know her.

She was one of your patients On the reservation,

Regina king.

Excuse me, But you talk awfully fast.

Did you say you were a doctor?

I'm a pathologist, Working on a case For the coroner's office.

Did you want me to sign The death registry for someone?

No, no, no.

This is about

The tubal ligations You performed

On a number Of very young aboriginal women

In the prince george Area.

Up where?

You're confusing me.

Sarah?

Are you here?

What are you doing?

Did alex send you?

Did who what?

My husband.

Sarah. No.

Asking All your little questions,

Pretending you like me.

You don't like me.

You're just Pretending.

Hey, you're high.

You're paranoid.

You left your damn door Wide open.

I'm scared.

Come here.

What's going on?

You didn't come in To work.

You jumped Out of your car

And ran.

What's going on?

I don't know who to trust.

I don't know.

Have you been getting high All night?

I had to stay awake And watch the door.

Sarah, sarah,

If you think Your old man

Is coming after you,

You have-- You've got to go to the cops.

They're not going to help me.

They're listening to him.

Well, do you want To tell me what happened?

I don't know.

They...I...I can't think.

All right, Take a shower

And get your head straight.

Okay?

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, that's...

Let me take a shower,

And then I'll think About what to do.

Okay?

Hey.

It's going to be okay.

All right?

[ kisses ]

- hey, mr. Da vinci. - hey. How are you doing?

- good, thanks. - are you looking for me?

I think I've got something On that boy nelson kauff

Who hung himself.

I'm looking through His locker at school,

And the janitor Comes up

And says what should he do With nelson's gym bag?

I guess he left it on the bus

When he got off at the p.N.E. Where we found him.

Anyways, It got put into lost and found,

So I looked through there, And I come up with this.

Looks like maybe

Some kind Of a suicide note.

- do you think something E- I don't know.?

What the kid says Makes you wonder.

I don't know, But I've got to thank you

For being so diligent on this.

I'm very thrilled About getting this.

Yeah. I thought the kid Would have left a note.

It was bugging me.

My uncle killed himself, Didn't leave a note.

Messed everybody up For years and years.

Okay.

Well, again, thanks, eh.

Okay.

Good job, really good job.

Oh, helen...

Yeah?

About a month ago,

Was there a thomas kauff, A victim of a heart attack,

Come through here?

Um, is he any relation to The kid who committed suicide?

Yeah, it's his father.

Oh.

If he didn't come Through here,

- can you find out who signed Th- absolutely.Try?

Okay.

She was one Of the five or six girls

That were cashing Welfare cheques for alex.

She was starting to be A pain in the ass,

You know, wanting more money,

And that was pissing alex off,

So he asked me talk to her,

So I got her over to the house To do that.

Where was this?

It was one Of the houses he had.

And what happened?

Well, she and I are on the couch Talking, like he wanted,

And he comes in And starts in on her,

And she gets really defiant,

And that doesn't go over well With alex,

So he just...He lost it.

How?

He went over To the fireplace

And picked up the hatchet That we cut kindling with,

And he lets her have it.

Jeez.

Yeah,

And then he decides

That we've got to hide her body In the basement,

So we took her downstairs,

And then he decides That we've got to cover her up,

And he has a guy come in Who pours a new floor over her.

He poured a cement floor Over the body?

Uh-huh.

Did they find the body?

If he keeps talking, They will.

Well, why would he do that? He'd implicate himself.

You don't think He'd trade that information

And blame me?

You don't know If they have the body,

And, you know, If there's no evidence,

Then they've got nothing on you,

So no matter what he says,

If there's no body, You're okay.

Well, it's under cement.

Right,

So if it's under cement,

Then that means

Your old man, alex, Isn't talking,

And...And you can Wait this thing out,

But if they have The body,

Then you've got to start

Coming up with your story

About how he did it And you were forced to go along.

I don't want to go back To that house.

Do you want me to go?

Could you just go And have a look

And see if they dug it up?

Yeah, all right.

I'll get dressed.

I understand

I'm going to be getting An exhumation.

Yeah, thomas kauff.

He's the father of the boy That committed suicide.

What's the story on that?

Well, the cause of death At the time

Was listed as a heart attack,

But I'm curious to know

What the level Of the antidepressants Were in his system.

Are you thinking maybe He took an overdose?

Could be. I don't know.

What's the antidepressant I'm screening for?

Oh.

It's, uh...

It is called amitriptyline.

That's an old standard.

Do you know

What his prescribed dosage Was?

150 milligrams a day.

- that's a fairly Normal dose. - mm.

'course, it only takes 600 milligrams

To be lethal, so...

Really, huh?

So if he ods, That's three more pills.

That's not that many.

Not that many.

Mm.

Oh, sheesh.

You've got to take care of this Yourself, sarah, okay?

Get out Of the car, bob.

Put your hands on the roof.

Keep them there.

What's this about?

We've got An outstanding Arrest warrant

For you For armed robbery in quebec,

And they want you. Tough luck.

Come on.

You know, I just Have to get a warrant

Those files, doctor. - why do you need them?

Because we're digging up Mr. Kauff for an autopsy.

You're exhuming him?

Exhuming him, digging him up, Whatever term you like, sir.

Okay, well, is there Any question in your mind About his heart attack?

Actually, there are Several questions in there, But that's just one of them.

So what were the circumstances Of the heart attack? Can you Just tell me that?

His wife called me up, I examined him,

And it was obvious He had a heart attack.

It was obvious. What did you use, A ouija board?

Because I'm usually In a position

Where I have to Wait for an autopsy To find out what happened.

Mr. Kauff was my patient, And I knew his history.

He had a history Of heart problems,

Did he?

No, but he had High blood pressure

And very high cholesterol,

Which was something He refused to address In his diet, so...

Oh, dear, And on that evidence,

- that's why you decided It was a heart attack? - yeah.

It wasn't a question Of him overdosing On his medication, was it?

- oh, not a chance. - that doesn't ring a bell?

Overdosing on medication, With you?

To call my lawyer. - oka- okay.Going

He didn't come in Your office

And say, "This stuff's Not working that great,"

And you go, "Well, you know what?

"You just go ahead And pop them like candy,

Because it'll get Better for you,"

Just like you did for his son. Did you raise his dosage,

Like you did his son?

Just answer me That question.

Let go of the door, please.

All right.

When I get that body On the autopsy table,

I'll get the pathologist To read the entrails,

And I'll let you know, doctor, If you've got a future there.

Hello, sarah.

Nelson and his father Put this together.

Very impressive.

I'm going to give it To the church for A rummage sale.

Oh yeah? I was hoping you might Explain something to me,

Something That your son said In a suicide note

That's been Kind of bothering me,

About him feeling guilty.

Can you explain to me What that's all about?

Well, nelson blamed himself For his father's death.

- he told you that? - well, after his father died,

A teacher at school, A counselor, I guess, Was trying to help,

And told him that, You know,

Added stress can Bring on a heart attack...

Oh.

So nelson said That he felt bad

Becaso much heartache dad

Getting into trouble All the time.

He thought That's why his father died.

Thanks.

Yeah, the reason I'm here is

I have to inform you

That what we've decided to do Is exhume your husband's body

And check it for the levels Of the antidepressants

That were in his system When he died.

Why?

Why is that Necessary?

Well, his doctor, Your family doctor,

Has a history, it turns out, Of overprescribing.

He advocates Stronger than normal dosages

In these Antidepressants,

And this particular drug

Has proven to be fatal If the dosage is too high,

So that's why we've decided

To exhume the body.

And if you find

That there are these extra drugs In his system,

What then?

Well, I mean, we'll know.

We'll know that It was an accidental overdose

And not, you know, The heart trouble.

Well, what about His previous suicide attempt?

Your husband tried To commit suicide before this?

Yeah, yeah.

He cut his wrists Six months ago.

When he didn't die, He said that next time

He would just Take too many pills.

And the doctor, He knew about this?

He sure did.

Tom's symptoms Were getting worse,

And he was becoming irrational, You know.

Uh, we even Had to call the police A couple of times.

They told me they came here On some domestics.

Oh, no, we weren't fighting Or anything like that.

- you weren't? - no.

Tom would start hitting Himself in the face With his fists,

And yelling, and...

It was terrible to watch.

Was he still on his medication, Or did he come off of it For some reason?

No, no, He was on his medication.

He finally talked To dr. Ludlow about it,

And the doctor adjusted His dosage.

He adjusted it up? He increased the dosage, Did he?

Yeah, yeah, he did.

Uh-huh, And did the irrational Behaviour continue

After that?

Yes,

And then tom died Just after that.

Shortly after He got the dosage increase.

Yes. Yeah.

Oh my god. I wish I had known Some of this information

At the time Of your husband's death.

I...I'm sorry.

Thank you, But lookit, You know what?

I've got to Start packing here.

Somebody's going to be coming by To pick this stuff up.

Okay. If you like, I could give you a hand.

- I'd be happy To do it.

Sure. Why don't you, uh,

Just gather up the little people For me, okay?

No problem.

Either dr. Wyman Has dementia

Or the first Stages of alzheimer's. I don't know which.

- so you got nothing Out of him at all? - no.

Maybe he's faking it.

Well, I thought so,

And then I talked To his sister.

She said he's had A couple of strokes recently

And he's losing His memory.

Oh yeah? What's that doing for Your genocide theory now?

Oh, I've got A new one.

I call it Social amnesia.

- you call it what? Social amnesia? - yeah.

Genocide happens, We spend the next Couple of generations

Making sure We forget about it.

- now, that's a good theory - yeah, I think it'll fly.

We were sitting On the couch,talking,

When alex suddenly got up And went to the fireplace.

The next thing I knew,

He was hitting her in the back With a hatchet.

Okay.

Let's get the crown In here

And see what kind of terms We can get you

For testifying.

Okay,

But you're going to pick him up, Right?

If this information Pans out,

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I got a call from montreal.

I've got to go back And tie up some loose ends.

Then I'll be back.

Okay.

Okay.

You look good.

Did I mention that?
