Morning, gentlemen.

Hey, rose. How are you doing?

Who gave you The lead on this guy?

How come you didn't Call us first?

I was chasing up A lead you gave me

About the guy, tommy, Having sold rob and carl a gun?

He said he met him

At one of the hotels Down here,

So I'm canvassing around, And I'm not getting anywhere,

And then I find out From somebody else

Who bought some cigarettes Off of him,

That the other guy's name Isn't carl, it's kerry.

So rob and kerry, Those are the names?

Yeah. So I was asking around,

And that's when I got lucky And found the brother,

And I did call you right away,

And here you are.

Where is he?

He's upstairs in his room.

His name's vern.

Did you talk to him?

No. I called you Like you asked.

Okay, good.

How do you know That this is their brother?

Well, because I was asking around

About rob and kerry,

And then some guy says

If I'm looking for them,

That he knew Who their brother was.

So, rob and kerry Are brothers?

Yeah. That's What this guy says,

And then I asked the desk clerk

If he was Still living there,

And she said, yeah,

She just saw him Go upstairs.

All right.

Well, he doesn't know We're here,

So how do you want To deal with this?

Do you want to go Talk to him?

See if he's seen The brothers lately?

Yeah, he's not Going to want to talk to us.

He's not going To tell us

If he's seen His brothers.

Okay, well, I'll go in, And I can wind him up.

Tell him we're looking For his brothers

In relation to a robbery

And see how that goes.

I can bring him Down to the lobby,

And you guys Can get a look at him.

Yeah, that's A good idea.

Yeah, just talk to him.

See if he's cooperative, Or whatever.

See how it goes.

See if he's seen The brothers lately.

Okay. What do you think?

Yeah. Go ahead. It's a good idea.

Need a shine On those?

They could probably use one. Why not?

Okay.

All right. Put 'em up, boss.

Okay.

Hey, you're The coroner, right?

Did you hear About my friend who died?

No. Well, maybe I did. What happened?

I had a friend Of mine o.D. In his room The other night.

Oh no.

Lamont. You know anything about it?

No. I don't think I do.

So anyway, I was wondering

What's going to happen To lamont's body.

Well, Has he got any family?

- no. - no?

Both his folks Are dead.

- he was an only. - well, he'll probably Get cremated

And then buried In one of the local cemeteries,

I'm afraid.

Oh.

Well, there you go. Those are done.

Just great.

Okay.

Maybe you could check Into that for me.

You know, What's going to happen.

Where he's going To be laid to rest.

Now, the the name Again is lamont...

Lamont duvall.

Lamont duvall.

I don't know Where they took him.

Here you go. Here's a double for you.

Oh no, thanks. That's...

That's on the house.

Okay. Duvall?

Duvall.

Yeah. Okay.

All I'm saying is,

She goes behind our backs And pursues the case,

Says she's not going To do it,

But then she goes ahead And does it anyway.

She's out there Looking for two guys.

She doesn't even know What they look like.

She could have walked Right by them already.

We don't even know What they look like

From the video Surveillance tapes.

She could have Walked right up to them

And said, "Excuse me,

Have you seen Rob or carl around?"

Leo, she's just out Pounding the pavement,

Chasing a lead for us.

How about cutting her Some slack?

Why? She's not Cutting me any.

Yeah, but I've got to listen To the both of you,

Going at each other, And, you know--

How about Cutting me some slack?

- enough with The tit for tat. - what do you mean,

The two of us Going at each other?

Has she been complaining To you about me?

Leo, is this About you getting older,

Being replaced? Is it?

What've you heard About me getting replaced?

Oh, nothing.

I'm just Facing the facts.

You know, you're getting A little older,

And if you're not Thinking about retirement,

Maybe you should be.

Sun comes up. Sun goes down.

I haven't seen My brothers

In two years.

They haven't been in touch With you at all?

What do you want To see them about?

I have some questions Regarding a robbery.

That doesn't sound Like my brothers.

You sure you got The right people?

Rob and kerry,

I was told They were your brothers.

Rob's my brother.

Who's kerry?

Kerry's my nephew.

I don't think They'd be involved

In anything like that.

And why's that?

I just never heard of them Doing any crimes.

You know Where they're living?

Last time I heard,

They were fishing Off the west coast.

They're fishermen?

That's what they do For a living?

Yeah.

I don't keep in touch.

All right, well,

If you have any contact With them,

You need to let me know.

I'd like to talk with them.

Here's my number.

You can call me any time.

All right.

Okay, he says he hasn't had Any contact in two years

And that it doesn't sound Like them.

He did tell me that these guys Are father and son.

Good.

Anything else?

Yeah, I got A last name-- walker.

I can run The computer on them,

See if rob and kerry Go by that,

If their pictures Are on file.

If not, I can try motor vehicles.

At least we'll get a better idea Of what they look like.

That's good, Great.

Yeah, good.

All right, well, he's all yours If you want to go at him.

- okay, thanks. - okay.

See you, rose.

Well, there you go.

We don't know what the hell These guys look like,

Rose comes up with A last name for us.

How about that?

Yeah, all right,

I guess I'm being hard on her.

I've been taking things Out on her.

Yeah, you've been a little Rough on her lately.

Yeah.

What is it, man?

Is it about the wife?

I've been out Every night and weekends

Looking for A place for her,

But everything's Booked up.

They were supposed To find her a place,

But I took a look at it,

And I can't Put lana in a room

With three strangers.

What, they're putting Four to a room?

Yeah, so it looks like

I'm going to have borrow Against my pension

To find her A decent place,

And that's, like, At least 3,500 a month,

And lana's not that old.

She's only 59.

Wow.

Leo, I'm sorry.

You should have told me.

Well, I just did,

And you should tell me What's going on.

You know, falling asleep All the time. What's up?

Do we have any Identification

On these Exhumed remains?

Yeah.

We have-- uh, one of them Is josh reardon.

The mental institution

Is sending over his file Right now,

So we'll see what The background there is.

Well, I still don't see Any real reason

To halt the disinterments Out there.

You don't?

Well, you know, There's a good chance here,

A 50-50 chance,

That this could turn out To be a homicide.

We'll look like complete idiots

If we don't Lock this whole thing down

As a crime scene, Like, right now.

Have we discovered any Other co-mingled remains

Out there?

You've got three.

What are you waiting for, To set a new record here?

No. Uh, why don't we Do this--

We'll keep the disinterments On schedule,

And if we discover Any more commingled remains,

We'll treat those Particular graves

As evidentiary,

Along with The first three,

And in the meantime,

We'll open A coroner's inquiry

Into it.

Let me just understand this.

You don't want to send this Over to homicide?

Not without more evidence, no.

I mean, as you say,

It may very well end up Coming back to us in any case,

So let's just proceed.

So are we afraid

That they're going to shut The whole thing down,

And the land development deal

Is going to get put into Some kind of never never land?

Is that What we're afraid of,

Or is something else Going on?

Homicide has neither the money Nor the manpower

To undertake Another full-scale

Archaeological Investigation.

Homicide?

Not after the resources They employed at the pig farm,

And I don't think I need to remind you

That we're suffocating

Under our own Budgetary restraints.

I'm not really sure

What the budgetary constraints Of the police department

Has to do with us,

But if it's a coroner's inquiry You want, you'll get it.

Can I get your door For you?

Yes, please.

Helen, can you do me A favor?

Yeah.

See if you can Get in touch

With the guy Who was responsible

For burying The bodies out there,

You know, the bottom Of the ladder.

I want the guy On the bottom,

Because he's got A lot less to lose.

He won't give me So much grief okay?

Okay. The guy On the bottom of the ladder

Who's got The least to lose

Regarding bodies Buried where?

Ravenhood.

Ravenhood. Yes.

There he is.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's get going.

Taking a little walk.

Follow me.

He's scoring some rock.

Yeah.

What do you want to do? Should we squeeze him?

Yeah.

Hey, vern.

Vancouver police.

Turn around.

Put your hands Out at your sides.

Oh, boy.

Looks like You dropped something, vern.

Josh reardon Was repeatedly sodomized.

- it says here, repeatedly. - yeah, I saw that.

Geez.

What does it say--

There's no name Of the accused rapist

Here anywhere at all.

No. That page Seems to be missing.

Does it say Anywhere on here

What happened To this complaint?

No. That page Appears to be missing, too.

So this is The whole file

Sent over by The mental institution?

Three or four pages. That's it?

That's all they had.

Is that right, eh?

Now, there may be A police report

Of the complaint,

So I've asked sex crimes To look into it.

Does it say anywhere

Why he went in there In the first place?

What his condition was? What year it was?

Yeah, yeah.

It's here On the first page.

1975.

1975, he goes in, Schizophrenia--

He was 16 When he went in there.

He was listed As a walkaway in 1977.

"Walkaway," What's that supposed to mean?

He just one day Took a stroll and left.

Walked away?

Why can't they just Call it what it is--

An escaped mental patient?

I don't get it.

Now, um, the year That he left there, 1977--

I read that,

And it kind Of twigged something.

Well, the body He was buried with,

That's the same year He went into the ground,

1977,

Same year, same month, Same week.

He was listed As a walkaway.

He never even Made it off the grounds.

Holy --.

Yeah.

Better get a hold Of the mental institution.

And I want A complete list,

A complete list

Of all those escaped Mental patients, okay?

All the walkaways.

Okay.

Whatever they want To call it.

And then, let's get a list Of every sexual complaint

They ever got From out there,

Every one of them,

And then, I want names This time, okay?

Here's the file for you.

I want the complete List of the names of The abusers on there.

Okay, vern.

You got No outstanding warrants,

No charges pending,

You've been keeping yourself Out of trouble lately, huh?

Except for The crack habit.

What's that? 300, 400, 500 a week?

A grand, maybe? How you payin' for that?

I'm on disability.

I hurt myself Herring fishing.

I don't think crack's Covered under that plan, vern.

I'm gonna quit.

Just not today, right?

You're not gonna Quit today?

No.

Tomorrow?

That's one of the steps In your personal program.

Just get -- together, But tomorrow.

Yeah. Can I go now?

You said I haven't been in any trouble.

Well, ordinarily,

You not having a record Would be a plus, vern,

But in your case, vern, It's a negative.

Why's that?

Because we're looking For a native

Who's never been In the system,

And you fit The description.

It's not me.

The cops didn't talk to you?

About your brother, rob, And some robberies?

Yeah.

So what'd you tell 'em?

I haven't seen my brother.

Vern, the two of you Have been spotted together.

It wasn't me.

You and your brother

Have been doing these robberies, Haven't you?

No, it wasn't us.

If it wasn't you two, Who was it with him?

I don't know Who it could have been.

Yeah, well, That's been known to happen,

Us confusing One indian with another.

That's what I'm saying. It wasn't me.

So you get it straight.

Okay, when was the last time You saw your brother, rob.

Three, four weeks ago.

Was he alone?

Yeah.

Why'd he come To see you?

He wanted to take me Back home to ocean falls.

A family reunion?

No, to help me Get straight.

Get straight?

Like what? Like an intervention?

Yeah.

But you didn't Go back with him.

No. We got into A fight about it,

And I locked myself In my room.

Did he say When he was coming back?

No.

Where's your brother now?

I don't know.

Yeah, you don't know.

Would you tell us If you did know?

Yeah.

You would? Why would you tell us?

I just don't believe

He'd be involved In any crimes.

Okay, here's what We're going to do, vern.

Turn around.

We're going To uncuff you, all right?

We're going To let you go.

Do yourself A favor, vern.

Get clean, buddy.

Hey, thanks For meeting up.

Yeah, no problem. Brian's off sick today.

I was looking For an excuse

To get out From under the paperwork.

I got the ballistics report Back from ident.

They retrieved eight slugs Out of danny zero.

Take a look at that.

You see, it's A .22 caliber,

Like we were thinking.

Right, okay.

Look on the other page there.

That's a report

Of another homicide Earlier in the year,

An east indian heroin dealer.

He got killed By the same caliber weapon.

You think they're related?

Yeah, they're related, Definitely.

And we know It was the same handgun.

Who was holding it, We've still got no idea.

Well, you're going Somewhere with this,

But I'm not following it So far.

I'm just trying To figure it all out.

You going To order something?

I'll have the tuna salad.

Tuna salad? Okay. Coffee?

Yeah, black.

Yeah, I'm kind Of looking at a dead end here.

So what happens now?

Well, I can't keep chasing it.

I mean, I've got other things To move on to.

You never heard From danny's girlfriend,

- your informant, What's her name? - carla.

No, she disappeare

Yeah, that's kind of odd.

I went looking for her Around the same time

Brian said He was going to go see her,

But she moved out of her place.

Yeah, brian said He went looking for her,

And she was gone.

Yeah...

I wasn't sure Brian would come through for me,

So I went through Another source for carla,

But they haven't Seen her since either,

And they were in Pretty regular contact,

So I'm worried Maybe something happened to her.

Do you remember,

Did she say anything More about the guy

Her boyfriend was Going to meet down there,

Where he got killed?

No. I don't remember anything Except what I told you.

She never said Anything more

About the guy Who was maybe a cop?

- nothing more about that? - no, nothing.

Okay, well,

Unless carla turns up alive

And has something new To tell me,

This is looking Like it's over.

Well, I mean,

I could go do Some more looking for carla.

You know, I'll just say

It's an unrelated matter, A family matter,

Something like that.

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be good.

Hey, you know That other shooting

That was About five months ago?

Could I take A look at your notebook?

You want to see my notes?

Yeah. You mind if I take a look?

I'll take a look.

You know, if I find anything

That relates To what we're talking about,

I'll let you know.

She's coming back?

No. She lost her appetite.

Why don't you wrap that up? I'll take it with me.

So you were The head groundskeeper

At the institution Here, were you?

25 years, until It shut down in '78.

You know what's Gone on down here?

Did you hear about it?

Yeah, you were moving bodies, And found a few extra.

- oh, you heard About that? - yeah.

I'm telling you,

I have no idea How anybody

Could get an extra body In one of these coffins.

No idea?

Wish I did. It's not right.

You don't think

Someone could have Gotten down here,

Dug up one of These coffins,

Placed another Passenger onboard.

That's Not possible, too?

Maybe, but you'd have To talk to security.

Well, I wasn't Around at night.

I will.

Now, what's This building here?

It's a greenhouse, I guess, is it?

Yeah. That's The old greenhouse.

This place, Is it kept locked?

Well, yeah.

Well, I tried to,

But I had to keep Changing the locks.

Why? People would keep Breaking in here or what?

Well, people would break in

And do what they weren't Supposed to be doing.

Staff? Who are we Talking about?

You know as well as I do.

I don't have to spell It out for you.

Yeah, yeah, you do. You do have to spell it out.

People would sneak In there to have sex.

Staff members and patients?

Did you ever see staff members

Sneak patients in here For that purpose?

I heard about it a few times.

You just Heard about it?

You couldn't put any names

To any of these Staff members

For me, could you?

No, no. I mean, I never saw anything.

I'd get here In the morning,

It would be broken open,

And I'd snoop around And get a story.

Well, you know what?

This is your building here.

This is your area.

Okay?

Everything Is right under your nose.

I find it-- I don't know--

How is it you don't know Anything else

About this whole thing

Other than Some rumors you heard?

I mean, you know, Sure, I'd hear stuff,

But if you wanted To keep your job,

You mind your own business.

I'm sorry. That's the way It was back then.

I believe you. I totally believe you.

You've seen Your fair share

Of burials, I guess.

Oh, yeah. I oversaw plenty of them.

You mind telling me How it worked then,

When someone Died on the wards?

Well, the doctor In residence

Would pronounce Them dead--

Here, it's dark in there--

Shipped off To the funeral home,

Get embalmed,

And then they'd be brought Back here for burial.

Shipped out And shipped right back,

And then what?

You'd put 'em right In the ground, would you?

Sometimes.

Sometimes, they'd spend The night in the morgue.

Why was that?

They wanted All the burials to happen During the supper hour

So the patients Wouldn't get upset,

You know, and, like,

The crew sometimes

Wouldn't have The grave ready.

Oh, yeah.

You had a crew helping you With the graves, did you?

Made up of patients, You know.

Pretty hard workers.

Was that kind of,

Like, an on-the-job Training program or Something like that?

- oh, yeah. - what was I going To ask you?

Oh, yeah, now, These bodies that Were going to be stored,

Were you there-- Were you present When they arrived,

- or what was the story? - sometimes, it would be Just my crew

- to take care of it. - the crew?

Which is mostly made up Of patients, right?

They put the body In the morgue,

And you what-- You'd be somewhere else?

Sometimes. Here we are.

What?

It's musty in here.

It's always damp.

That's mold. I smell mold.

I do not like mold.

Anything airborne spores Is not for me.

I'll just be in here A minute anyway.

Yeah. Morgue.

You've got a couple Of crypts.

So were these doors Kept locked?

Oh yeah. We didn't Use them very much.

Okay. Who had the keys For these doors?

Admin. If you wanted To get in here,

You went to administration And got a key.

Administration.

Okay, I've got To get out of here.

Mind if I join you?

No. Sure. Pull up a chair.

Nice to see you.

How are you doing?

Good. Busy.

- yeah? - yeah.

How'd you find me here?

Who told you I was Eating here?

Bob kelly.

Oh, yeah. The boss. Is that right, eh?

Okay.

Oh, did you Want help with something?

Well, I've been invited To a meeting

With the chief and the mayor And a few of the city's lawyers,

And we're going to talk About the missing women

And the liabilities Involved there.

- I haven't been Invited to that meeting. - bob kelly's going to be there.

Oh, yeah. Well, that's good. Maybe he'll learn something.

Lord knows he doesn't Listen to me.

Well, anyway, I want to use this opportunity

To put my two cents in

Regarding our proposition

For establishing A red light zone.

You want to get An ally at the table

- before you go bringing Something like that up. - well, I was hoping

That you could tell bob I was going to do that

So he could indicate the support Of the coroner's office.

I don't know If you can count on bob

For any more than an ambiguous Nod of the head.

I'll certainly go ahead And tell him

That you're going To bring it up.

Well, on the same subject,

- what's happening with Jack pierce and his friend? - oh... You know,

She's not a prostitute, According to jack,

It's just a part-time thing,

And he's not paying her,

'cause they're having, Like, this romantic tryst.

Has he completely Lost his mind?

He's got himself convinced That she finds him attractive,

You know, that it's like A true love thing,

And so on, like that.

I don't want to step into

A public position On prostitution

With that skeleton

Rattling in the closet Behind me.

No kidding. Who knows What this idiot's going to do.

It's just right now, The opportunity is there.

With all the deaths Fresh in everybody's minds,

Out at the pig farm,

When the public Can really see the need

For these women To be protected,

This is The time to push.

You're right.

Where's vice on The councilman's investigation?

They've got him on videotape,

But I don't know What's on the tapes.

It'd be good to know Exactly what's on the tape.

I mean, Is it a sex show or what?

Yeah, well, you know,

All I can do Is try and make sure

That he's not going to Get caught with his pants down

Anywhere near The committee.

Okay, I'd appreciate it.

Would you give me a heads-up If it starts to go sideways?

Will do.

Sorry for disturbing Your lunch.

No problem.

Sure you don't want To eat something?

Huevos rancheros, man. They're great.

So what do you think

Of our councilman's Young friend?

Brenda? Is that her name?

Yeah. Brenda.

I don't think brenda's Going to hold up

Under any kind of Serious questioning.

I think something's Not so right.

Oh, yeah.

What are the chances I can take a look

And see what vice has got On them together,

Or what kind of Surveillance they've got

On jack and His girlfriend together?

I wouldn't want To go after it.

I've already stuck My nose in far enough.

That'd be pushing it.

Who's the vice cop? Can you tell me that?

This is not going To come back on me, right?

I've already forgotten

What you're going To tell me, rose.

Brian curtis.

Any rationale there?

Yeah. He's not a fan Of your councilman's.

Okay, I can Take it from here.

- okay. - thanks again.

All right. Take it easy.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, hey, hey--

What are you doing? What are you doing?

You're in a no-parking zone.

Look, I'm the coroner.

Look, don't tell me You don't remember me. Remember this face?

Okay, I parked here Not too long ago. You gave me a ticket,

We went through A whole big thing together.

So if you remember,

What are you doing Giving me another ticket?

Put your coroner's Tag on display.

It's on display.

Okay, it's not On display.

Okay, but you remember me.

If you don't display it, You don't have immunity.

I've got Parking immunity

Whether or not It's on display.

Look, I beat That last ticket.

I beat that ticket.

Congratulations.

I suggest keeping that tag Where I can see it.

I was looking in my notes

For the day that Other dealer got shot.

Yeah, right. You found something?

It was a pretty Uneventful night,

A couple of arrests Up on the granville strip,

An assault On a male prostitute

That got out of hand--

He bit the ear off a customer.

That's related to my shooting?

No. No. That's just Why I remember the night.

I wasn't working with brian.

He was off sick.

- so you didn't see him At all that shift? - nope.

He had the flu, Came back a couple days later.

So, an uneventful night?

Yeah.

Okay, thanks for Getting back to me.

Yeah. No problem.

[ shannon ]: well, We know he's not using a cab

To go score some dope.

He can do that Right around the corner.

I think he knows Something about what's going on.

I think the nephew Is the other guy,

But he won't give him up.

Yeah.

He said rob Came down to vancouver

To do an intervention,

Get him off the street And take him home.

Yeah, I hear there's A lot of that going on.

Family members get together,

Stage a meeting, and bingo,

Next thing you know,

You're tied up In the trunk of a car,

Heading home For a week of hell.

Yeah. That works For a little while,

But you've got to substitute Another addiction.

Or you could be born again, Get addicted to that.

I tried to give up Potatoes and bread once,

You know, I substituted

Those little Crispy rye crackers,

But all I got was sores On the roof of my mouth.

That's not like A drug addiction, though.

What?

You started smoking again, That's an addiction.

Yeah. I guess it is.

They say You revert to your addictions

When you're stressed out.

Is that what they say?

What are you getting At there, leo?

You, you've been Smoking, drinking,

You're not sleeping, But you don't need it.

That's 'cause Nothing is going on.

I mean, 'cause if there was, Then you'd tell me, right?

'cause you know you could Trust me with that.

Right.

So what's going on?

I'm just having A little trouble

Dealing with That shooting still.

I thought That's what it was.

See, that's a big deal.

You know, I saw josie's sister

The other day At the ovaltine

When you were in the alley Waiting for me.

I've got to say, man, That shook me up a little.

You shouldn't be Talking to her.

You should be talking To a professional.

I like the police psychiatrist. She's really good.

I don't need a shrink.

Okay, you know best.

Here we go.

He's pulling in here.

He's firing up The boat.

Vern's untying The lines.

They're taking off. They're out of here.

Hi.

Brenda...

Excuse me.

Remember me?

Yeah. You're A friend of jack's.

Right.

We can talk out here In the hallway,

Or you can Invite me inside.

I got a show In 10 minutes.

This'll only take five.

Are you going to tell me Who you are this time?

My name is Dominic da vinci.

I'm with the vancouver--

You've got five minutes.

Thanks.

I just wanted to give you

A little backgrounder On the councilman.

I think you did that already.

This is how he fits in To the bigger picture.

There's a committee That I sit on,

And there's some high-ranking Police officials,

Sitting on This committee,

And other Influential people,

Including jack pierce,

And we're trying To introduce the concept

Of a protected area For the street prostitutes.

That would be

A good idea For this town.

Jack already Told me about that.

It's a good idea. Who can argue with that?

A lot of people, apparently, Or we'd already have one.

Okay, well, the point is

That I have an opportunity now To really marshal some support.

It's pretty good timing Right now,

And jack pierce

Is a key component To this initiative.

I need jack,

And I'm concerned, brenda,

That if he continues His relationship with you,

It's going to be Exploited people,

In a negative way,

Who would love to see jack Go right down the toilet,

And the status quo continue,

And that's not In your best interest, Or in his, is it?

I've got To go to work.

I'm asking you To stop seeing jack pierce.

You think you know What's good for me.

You don't.

No, but I think I know What's bad for my initiative.

I'm not saying stay away Forever, I'm just saying

Maybe you can come up With some reason

Why you have To go home for a month.

This is my home.

I was born here.

This is my home town.

Okay, so you can Go visit a friend,

Maybe you need A vacation.

What am I going to tell jack If I do that?

That's up to you.

And I get what out of this?

Well, the satisfaction

Of knowing you helped jack Do a good thing.

How am I going to afford To take a vacation for a month?

Do you need help With that?

No, I don't need help With that.

Okay?

Okay. I'll think about it.

That's all I can ask for.

I appreciate it.

I guess That's my five minutes, eh?

What's going on?

We think we found carla. She's inside.

Hey, chick, Mind if I take suki in?

Yeah, go ahead. Put some booties on.

Thanks.

Landlady was wondering About a smell down In the cellar,

Decided to go And check it out.

It's down at the end Of the hall here.

It's this way.

Landlady didn't want To come back down

And identify her.

It's just in behind The coal bin there.

Is that carla?

That's her.

Geez, poor thing.

There's a small caliber Entry wound behind her ear.

Yeah, I see that.

What do you think?

Looks like she was Hiding behind here.

Yeah.

You got a door over here Behind the water heater,

All locked up,

You can't open it Without three different keys.

Right. So maybe She was chased down here,

Thought she could get out The back door.

Couldn't open the door, So she hid behind the bin there.

Yeah.

If you look At the light bulb,

We've got some Good sets of prints on it,

From when She unscrewed it,

Trying to keep The place dark.

You okay, suki?

Yeah, I'm all right.

So you got another set of prints Off the light bulb

Besides carla's?

Well, we got one set Of prints underneath,

Those are hers, I'm thinking,

But some of those Are smeared,

Like somebody else Wearing gloves

Screwed the bulb Back in.

She's got dirt On her knees,

On the palms Of her hands there.

Like she was On her knees, maybe.

Yeah, I was thinking She was on her knees,

Got shot behind the ear.

She was your informant?

Yeah, that's right.

My condolences.

Thanks. I'm going To get some air.

Hey, listen,

Why don't you Hang around?

I'll be up in A couple of minutes.

Hey, chick, did you find Any shell casings anywhere?

Not yet.

Listen, we're going To be here for a while.

You going to hang around?

Yeah, I'll be around.

Small caliber gunshot,

Maybe the same guy Shot her boyfriend,

That's what you're thinking.

Could be.

I'm sorry.

I know She was a friend.

Yeah. She had Some good things about her.

Got mixed up in the scene When she was about 16,

Never got much of a chance To turn it around.

That's not Your job, right?

We're not Social workers.

I remember thinking

I could have tried harder To get her off the street,

But what the hell,

I didn't want to lose A good informant,

And then, this happens.

It's about ethics, The way I look at it.

She knew What she was doing

When she agreed to be Your informant.

She didn't agree To get shot in the head.

You had an agreement,

And she agreed To divide her loyalties

Between the street life And you.

That's how it works, You use an informant For what you need.

I don't think It's black and white Like that.

I don't think the end Justifies the means.

No, it's always Some kind of compromise,

Otherwise You couldn't function.

You've just got to know Where your line is,

And don't cross it.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm going to be all right,

So I'd better get back To what I was doing.

Listen, if you need To talk more about that,

You know how to find me.

Yeah.

Let's get over To the fish boat.

You drop me off.

I'll go inside.

I'll come to get you In a couple of weeks.

Yeah.
