I guess We wait for autopsy, See what that says.

This is the first time I've been back here

Where they keep The horses.

Yeah?

I love the smell. It reminds me Of the farm

My grandpa Used to have.

He had a couple Of those big percherons.

Oh, the big ones, The work horses?

Yeah, they're huge.

Yeah, I loved Those things, man. They'd be out in the swamp

Pulling stumps all day, Working real hard.

They'd get that big Frothy coat of sweat.

They just loved it. They were huge, Massive.

What happened to them?

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

I used to stay Awake at night

Wondering what Was going on,

And who was Feeding them

After the grandfather Died there.

Maybe some other Farmer got them.

Yeah, maybe. I hope so.

You're looking At asphyxiation, Carbon monoxide,

And that's a definite.

No chicken bones In his throat?

No. He had A partially undigested Chicken sandwich

In his stomach, Along with some French fries.

That gives us a timeline On the death, eh, leo?

He bought the sandwich, what, About 5:00 this morning?

According to the receipt,

And he's dead around The same time then?

With the undigested sandwich, The timing's in line.

And the accident Was discovered

About 6:00 this morning.

At some point Last night,

Is there any indication That he was tied up?

No. I didn't see Anything like that.

Okay?

Thanks.

She's still giving you The fish eye?

I think she's thinking I'm going to wake up

And be somebody else One day soon.

Yeah, at some point, They try to take the edges Off you,

Turn you into A round peg.

I'm just Going to give it A little time.

Hey, what do you think Of our dead guy?

I don't know. He bought the sandwich

And climbed Into the trunk. What do you think?

Could be back there Sucking exhaust fumes.

Carbon monoxide, right, I guess that's An accident.

Yeah, but it still Makes you wonder

What's he doing In the trunk?

Was he hiding From somebody?

I don't know.

It's an accident. We'll kick it To da vinci.

Yeah, an accident. That's his department, An accident.

Hey, I was going over Your wrecked stolen Vehicle,

And I checked The exhaust pipe. It's got a rip in it.

Exhaust was leaking Up into the trunk Of the car.

So somebody in the trunk's Going to get nailed by it Big time then?

Yeah. Even your driver's Going to feel the effects, Get a little dizzy,

Maybe even lose Control of the car.

You get any prints Off the steering wheel

Or anywhere in the car?

No, nothing usable, Bunch of smudges.

Nothing, eh? All right, thanks.

- okay, see you. - taking off?

What have you Got here?

This is That homeless guy

That went into The bear pit there Down at stanley park.

The bear pit? That's a long way To fall.

- boy. - [ mick ]: wow.

How's your dead guy In the trunk?

Chick was just saying The exhaust was leaking Into the trunk,

Probably what killed him. - it would be carbon monoxide.

It's going back to you. - it's back to me?

You get a chance to talk To the owner of the car?

Yeah. It sounds like His car-theft story

- might be legit. - oh.

How come the guy's name Is victor charles

And they call him "Charlie victor"?

Well, it's kind of a name That just stuck.

He had a horse called that And he bred him, I think,

And the thing About this horse, He died of a heart attack

- in the middle of a race. - in the middle of a race?

- there's a metaphor for life.

You finally Get out front, Bang, you drop dead.

I guess If you've got to go,

Doing something you like. - yo- I guess so.Ll go

- okay, see you guys later. - take it easy.

How does that Go again?

You're out Five lengths...

And then you're dead.

Hey, angela.

Hey.

Listen, I wanted to say You did a good job.

Your informant Paid off, huh?

Yeah, well, I appreciate the shot,

So thank you.

Well, you took one And came through for me,

So thanks For making me look good.

Listen, you know Rose williams,

Works robbery?

Rose? Yeah, sure.

Well, I'm thinking About bringing her

Up into homicide.

Wondering if you think You can work with her?

I can work With anybody.

Yeah, you proved that.

Okay.

Think about it.

Your homeless man died Of a broken neck.

Okay, well, He must have gotten that

In the fall in the bear pit.

Most of his injuries Are consistent with that,

Except for that one At the back of his head.

That injury is premortem By a couple of hours,

And I think it's caused By a blunt object Of some kind.

Premortem? Any idea what could Have caused that?

Something Narrow with an edge. Maybe a two-by-four.

Even still, He gets hit in the head, He's groggy,

- he falls into the bear pit. That is still an accident. - no, no.

The blow caused him To bleed into his brain, So even if he hadn't fallen

- into the pit, that injury Would have killed him. - oh yeah?

Okay. Now, this means I've got to call homicide

And get them In that bear pit.

- I've got to do it? - mm-hmm.

All right.

Thanks, patricia.

You can see Why they went nuts.

You can't see From down here, Just a little bit of sky.

That is sick, Keeping a wild animal Penned up

In a little cramped Space like this,

They look up, What do they see,

People looking at them. What the --?

Did you check This out,

- this plank? - what?

This plank stretching out All the way across.

Looks like maybe It was the guy's way in.

[ leo ]: Oh, yeah.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe you're Right there.

This old guy Must have been A mountain goat.

Yeah, I could see him Coming right through here,

And then slip, bam, Onto the ground.

Yeah, I'd buy that.

That thing is all Slimy and slippery.

And walk on that. - no, thanks.Y

Let's say the guy did get A whack on the head,

He's trying to find His way back home,

Comes across the board Along here,

Slips off the wet Leaves, smack.

Yeah. So what, then,

He's living up here In the back, upstairs?

Yeah, upstairs.

Like a bear pit Has an upstairs.

What is that word That they call it,

When we do that To animals,

We "Cutify" them And try to make them Human?

You mean, Like a human...

Oh, that's "Anthropomorphize."

Yeah, we tame them In our imagination,

Then we put them In a cage.

That just takes away Their true nature.

They weren't meant To be living in a bear pit, They were supposed to be free.

You know, sometimes... I think we've forgotten

- what it means to be free. - you talking about the bear Or the man now?

The bear, The polar bear.

- oh, that's all bull, too.

That's just us trying To make up something

So that we can Forgive ourselves For slaughtering them all,

And then we Pretend that they have A spirit and an afterlife,

And that excuses The slaughter.

Take a look at this. This is interesting.

All these takeout Containers here.

They look like They're from restaurants In the west end, eh?

They're all along The same street.

He's getting handouts At the back door.

Or the trash bins Maybe.

- they're all along his route. - wellthat out.D check

We could take a drive And check that out.

Man, oh, man.

It's all Kind of backwards, Eh, leo,

Humans living In bear pits?

Backwards, yeah.

Some days, you just want To get down on your knees.

Yeah.

Did the cops come by To see you today?

Yeah, the cops were Out here yesterday

Asking me about my car. How come you're Involved now?

Did they tell you What they found, charlie, In the back?

Yeah, they did. See you guys.

Thanks. Just a second, Fellows.

Yeah, it was a man, A dead guy.

That's right. Do you know what Killed him?

It was the exhaust leak. There was an exhaust leak,

And it was sneaking Into the trunk.

That's too bad. I didn't know about The exhaust leak.

Yeah, that's How it happens, eh? You don't necessarily know

That it's happening And all of a sudden, It's on you.

Yeah, yeah. That's right.

Did they tell you That the guy was a felon,

That he was A bank robber, charlie?

Hey, no. Nobody told me that. A bank robber.

Yeah. They figure That's why they Wanted the car.

That's what We were thinking.

They were Going to pull a job. They needed the car.

I don't know what else To tell you, dominic. I told the cops

Happened yesterday. - - yeah? Okay.At

Yeah.

So how's the car? I hear it was A write-off.

Oh, they said It was totaled.

Nah, my insurance Has lapsed.

- lapsed? - yeah.

On top of everything else, Now you've got To carry that?

On top of everything else? - - well, I knowan,

It hasn't been A banner year for you. You haven't been

In the winner's circle much, So it must have been Kind of tough.

Oh, up and down, Up and down. You know, I'm surviving.

Yeah, but it's hard Making ends meet sometimes.

Well, I borrowed From a friend to keep up.

Well, that's a relief.

That's what friends Are for, man.

You help them, And they help you.

Yeah, but that can backfire On you sometimes, too.

Like, you're in a situation Where you're helping out Your friend,

And then all of a sudden, I don't know, something Happens.

Like what? What are you saying?

Something happens. Here's a guy,

He's just trying To help his friend out, And that friend somehow,

I don't know, He dies, right,

In what I'd have To call, as a coroner, "A misadventure."

"A misadventure"? - "A misadventure."

That is an accident On the way to an innocent--

[ p.A. System address ]

It's not you. An innocent circumstance.

It's an accident on the way To an innocent circumstance.

That's all he was Trying to do.

His intention is good. That's what I'd say Looking at it,

But then along the way Something happened, An accident.

You're saying... - - good.Hat

But I didn't know The guy in the trunk

And I resent You asking me that.

Okay, charlie.

That the boss Has been talking To the police board about you,

And they want you To back off your opposition

To the surveillance Cameras.

If maybe You had a minute,

If you could just take A quick look at my outline For my novel.

Well, I just Wanted to make sure I got procedures right.

Looks up, sees two cars Blow through the intersection,

They're doing 60, 70 miles an hour.

So what did you guys do, Chase on after them?

Well, no, since you Started raising all this --

About high-speed pursuit, We don't do that anymore.

Your guy didn't chase off After him, maybe drive him Into that pole?

- I just told you - okay, okay.

- so what did he do, then? - told everybodyn,

There were two guys racing, And to watch out for them.

- did he get a description? - no.

Of the guy Driving the car That matches

With the body in the trunk. - a description of the guy?

Yeah. 60 years old, about, Longish grey hair, mustache.

He got all that And didn't get a plate?

Hey, the guy's mug Stuck in his mind

For some reason, all right?

You're welcome. I find anything else, I'll let you know.

You know what? That's okay.

Hey, I've got to head out For a minute.

When I come back, I'll take a look at it.

All right, be like that.

I don't have a pass, But, uh...

Charlie! Excuse me. Charlie!

I've got a witness.

I've got a witness At the time

That you say Your car was stolen.

I've got a witness That puts you in that car.

So I know you were Damn driving that car,

And I want to hear The whole damn story

Right now.

Right now.

- okay, I'm waiting. I want to hear it.

Now, you knew this-- You knew this joe lironi, Didn't you?

And now don't tell me You don't know him,

'cause you know him. How do you know him?

- him and me were friends - from high school?

All right, now, How does it happen

Joe lironi met up again? - well, we keep in touch.

One day he shows up And needs a place To hang his hat

For a couple of weeks. A place he can feel Safe, I guess.

He's got a few bucks, And I could use Some of that,

Just a few hundred To catch up on my bills.

Yeah, and how long was He staying with you for?

- a couple of weeks. - a couple of weeks.

- okay, now it's time He wants to leave,

He decides he wants to go, And what happened There?

Well, I come home From the track one night,

And joe's all bent Out of shape.

He says there's a cop Up the street in a car Watching the house.

- a cop. - well, that scares me,

A cop's watching The house and all.

So we come up With a plan.

Joe's going to ride Out of town in the trunk, I'm going to drive him

To vernon, and he's going To catch a plane to montreal.

It's a good plan. What went wrong?

Joe gets In the trunk.

I'm really careful Leaving the house.

- I don't see anybody Foll- mm. Us.

We drive For a little bit,

And we stopped At stan's drive-in For some food.

We're having a sandwich,

And all of a sudden, Joe goes all white--

"That's him. That's the cop In that car over there.

He must have Followed you."

So joe jumps back In the trunk,

And I take off.

Sure enough, The cop in the car, He's right behind me.

I'm going faster, And he's going faster,

And I'm trying hard To shake him, And I can't.

I missed the corner, And bang, I hit the pole.

Anyway,

I'm kind of dazed, You know.

I'm expecting the cop To arrest me.

He just takes off, Burns off in his car.

So I get out,

And I go back

And open the trunk And check on joe.

He's not breathing.

He's dead,

So I just got the hell Out of there.

Did you get a plate number Or anything like that?

- no. - no.

So what kind Of trouble am I in here? How bad is it?

I don't know. I mean, joe dying, That's an accident.

That's no problem, But the other thing now, The cops chasing you,

That's a whole different Ball game. That depends On your involvement

- with joe lironi. - I was just trying To help him out.

He was just Staying with me.
