[ theme music playing ]

Damn it,
Damn it!

Hi, helen.
It's dominic.

Helen?

Whoa.

Hi.
I'm in a black hole,
So just-- the car.

Helen?
Hello? Hello?

Helen?
Yeah, oh-- no.

Helen?

Yeah, I'm in kind of
A black hole here.

You can hear me?
Can you hear me?

Dominic--
Oh, bye.

Just stop the exhumation,
Helen.

Helen, yes, I can.
Yes, I can.

I can stop the exhumation.
I'm the coroner, okay?

The body's in the ground.

The body can just
Stay in the ground
Until I get there.

Why can't--

Look, just call the cemetery
And tell them I'm
Running late.

I don't think it'd be
A big huge pro--

Okay,
Frances and victoria,

1800 block of fran--
Well, it's on the corner.

No, the car's
Just back here
A little bit.

It's just down on--
Right on the same street,
Frances.

Well, two blocks.
18, 17, 16. Around 16.

Just needs a jump.
Don't have to tow it.

No, I'm not going to be there
'cause I'm going to walk.

It's not
That far from here,
So...

I can walk, helen, okay.

Just call the cemetery,
Tell them I'll be late, okay?

Okay.

- hey.
- hey.

Where was
The car towed from?

Alley across from
The police station.

Oh yeah?
The downtown headquarters?

Yeah.
It was in a loading zone.

They got the call
About 7:00 this morning.

Yeah, I see
The flat tire there.

Yeah, the tow driver
Got it here,

Realized he must have
Got a flat along the way,

Thought he'd better
Change the tire

Before the owner got here
To pick it up.

He came to the trunk
For the spare tire.

- oh, watch out.
That's his vomit there.
- ugh.

Thank you.

Oh, no.

- is that laura maitland?
- yeah, man.

Who's this car
Registered to?

- uh, laura maitland.
- that's her,
That's laura.

We had surveillance on her.
What the hell
Happened to that?

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

We've got to back off
This right now.

You want to
Call ident for us,

Tell them we need
A forensic team
Down here right away?

Okay.

Wow.

I don't know what the hell
Is going on here.

Morris?

I'm sorry I'm late, eh.
Sorry.

I know I'm late.

I've got the backhoe waiting.

I know.
My car broke down,

And then my phone
Was in a grey zone,

- and I just couldn't
Do anything. Sorry.
- okay, let's get started.

Okay.
Morris?

Uh, this is a hard thing
For you, okay.

- I know this is a hard thing.
- [ cell phone rings ]

Sorry. One second.
Just give me one--
Just... Yeah?

Yeah?
Yeah, now it's working.

Yeah.
Back that up?

Oh.

Could you just go on ahead?
I'll be right there.

I've just got to deal with
This one little thing, okay?

What--
What was that, now?

That was in the paper today,
Or what?

- well, what did
He say exactly?
- [ backhoe engine starts ]

Could you just hold on
One second?

I can't really hear you.
There's a thing there.
What?

I will personally strangle
That son of a bitch!

He said what?

Oh!

I'm going to get
What I can right here,

Do the whole car as is
Before we get her
Out of there.

Any first impressions?

First off,
She was struggling
Back here in the trunk.

You can see she lost a shoe,

But the other one,
That's all scuffed up
On the toe,

And there's this dent here
In the trunk lid

Where she was kicking hard
From the inside.

- she was alive
For some time.
- yeah.

No way of telling
If she was struggling
When she went in,

Whether the killer
Went back in later, or what.

That bag is tight.
It's cinched real tight
Around her neck.

Yeah, it's got the drawstring,
And it's knotted up there.

- tight enough to asphyxiate?
- I don't know, leo.

- it's real tight.
- no wounds on her?

Not that I'm seeing.

I'll move her
After we get
Our photographs.

Did you take a look
In the car yet?

Yeah, a quick look-see.
Go ahead, have a peek.
Watch yourselves.

A couple of
Empty water bottles,
Take-out coffee cup.

Is that a purse
On the floor there?

Yeah.
I see that.

Hey, chick,
We've got a purse
On the floor here.

You want to go through,
Find the wallet,

- see if she's been robbed?
- yeah, as soon as I've
Got my pictures.

- we're going to split.
- all right.

- we had surveillance on her.
- yeah, supposed to.

- well, what happened?
- I don't know.
I'm making a call.

- which one's
The tow truck driver?
- right here.

Hey, we're going
To need you to show us

Exactly where
You towed her car from.

So what's this?

I've got to read it
In the damn paper
That you're chicken, jack?

You think we ought
To do this
In public?

Oh, all of a sudden,
You're concerned
About public appearances?

I don't think
We should be
Arguing in public.

Well, good.
Let's take it
Out in the alley.

No, not when you're
In your temper.

You're damn right
I'm in my temper.

- I was going to call you.
- and what, you misdialed

And got the editor
Of the newspaper?

Would you like to hear
My reasons?

You've got a reason
For a 180-degree
Reversal of your position?

You've got a reason
For completely sandbagging me?

I will tell you
Exactly the same thing
I told the press,

And that is
I can no longer
Support an initiative

Which I've come to doubt.

And what brought on
This sudden crisis of faith,
Councilman?

- it's not important.
- it's not important?

What matters is

That I can no longer endorse
A red-light initiative

That in any way encourages
Or facilitates the sex trade.

I realize that it
Might improve conditions
For sex workers,

But at the same time,
It might encourage
Young women

- to enter the sex trade.
- oh, please, as if anybody

Willingly goes
In the sex trade
In the first place.

What's happened to you?
This is not
An individual problem.

These are displaced
People here. It's
A global problem.

I'm just expressing
My individual personal
Convictions.

Oh, I understand.
Okay, I see.

Did you tell
The newspaper, though,

That you live with
A prostitute half your age?

No, because that would
Sink you politically.

- you didn't tell them that,
Did you?
- no, I didn't.

- but if you'll excuse me,
I've got a meeting to go to.
- a meeting.

Hell is a meeting.

That's what hell is,
A bunch of people sitting
Around a table,

Yap, yap, yap
For centuries

And doing sweet f.A.
About it!

Go to your meeting, buddy.
Go to hell!

I'm sorry.

Sorry for all the noise
And upsetting your meals here.

- how'd things work out
With the councilman?
- not that good.

Brenda wasn't supposed
To be there.

- isn't that what I told you?
Isn't that what I told you?!
- yeah, yeah!

Yeah, that's
What I told you,

And you told me she was
Going to be out of that house,

And I show up,
And guess what?
She's still there.

I tried to get her out.
She couldn't go.

So I walk in
And there she is.

- sorry.
- sorry, my ass.

I'll tell you,
You know what?

I do not want any trouble
From her, okay,

- and you're going to make sure
That doesn't happen, right?
- okay.

Now, you explain to her

That if she mentions
Anything about that
To anybody,

I am going to
Come looking for her.

I'm going to find her,
Her little sister
And her mom

And all her relations.

Do you understand me?

- yeah, I understand.
- all right, get out of here.
Have a nice day.

The tow yard got a call
From the restaurant here.
They load in early.

The car's parked
Right where their trucks park,
And they wanted it towed.

And it was parked right here?
Which way was it facing?

- west.
- exactly where?

- front end right here.
- okay.

Well, thanks for coming down.
I appreciate it.

- no problem.
- all right.
Hang on a sec.

All right,
Let's get it taped off

And barricaded
Both ends of the alley.

If you want to grab
A couple other constables...

- you get the word?
- yeah, just now.
Where's the body?

It's over at the tow yard.
Chick's going over it.

Okay.

Hey.

There was a message
On my phone

When I got in this morning
About an hour ago,
From laura,

Saying she was going
To meet me in my office
As soon as I got in,

And that was going to be
Around 8:00.

Yeah, well,
Her car got towed away
With her in the trunk, so...

She was supposed
To tell surveillance

If she was leaving
The apartment.

Yeah, they're
On their way over.

- we're going to get
That story.
- you saw her?

Yeah, she was in the trunk,
Handcuffed behind the back,

Plastic bag cinched
Around her head,

No visible wounds
On her yet.

So she came down here
Bright and early
To meet you.

Yeah, why wouldn't she just
Come up to your apartment
If she wanted to see you?

No, I go to the gym
At 5:45 every morning.
She would have missed me.

The call was placed
At 6:30.

Okay, so she comes down here
Hoping to catch you
And she parks here,

So why does she park here?

Well, parking in front
Of the station is restricted.

Yeah, well,
Same thing here.
It's the loading zone.

You know, what,
She didn't see the sign?

Okay, let's say
She drove herself
Down here, gets parked,

Then she was assaulted
And put in the trunk.

- this is the primary scene.
That's for sure.
- yeah.

What time was
The call to you?

Uh, 6:30-something,
:35 maybe.

And the restaurant
Called the tow company
Just before 7:00,

And they need about
15 minutes to get here,

So that leaves
About a 45-minute window

For her to be assaulted
And thrown into the trunk.

We got garbage trucks
Coming through here
Early this morning?

Yeah, that's right.
Now, they come at 6:00,

So anything that's in the bins
Now is there from after that.
That's good.

Laura told us
That when she was attacked

In the underground
Parking garage,

There were
Two assailants, right,

Daniel cousins,
Who she ended up stabbing,

And another man,
Who ran away.

That's right.

Well, there was no second man
On the security tapes,

And you cannot
Get out of that garage
Without being taped.

It's impossible.

So there was no second man,
Or she was mistaken
About the second man.

Well, look at it this way.

If she stabbed daniel cousins
The way she said she did,

With the knife
That she said
She was carrying,

He should have had
Defensive wounds

On his forearms,
On his hands, something.

- there weren't any.
- what's that saying?

It makes me believe
That laura assaulted him.

The knife that she said
He was carrying,

The one that we found
Under his body,

Well, there was similar one
That rose saw in her apartment

When she was investigating
The break-and-enter.

It's no longer
In her apartment.

Okay. That does put
A different skew
On things.

I mean, keep in mind
Her psych history.

She could have
Made this whole thing up,

The initial break-and-enter,
The sexual assault,

- the assault
By daniel cousins.
- wow.

Man.

I'm going to go over
To the tow yard
And have a look.

Yeah, okay.
We'll catch up to you later.

You know, we had
A load of people

Up and down this alley
All morning,

But I'm going to
Give the dog squad a call.

Maybe they can
Pick up a scent
From the car.

- it's worth a shot.
- yeah, that's
A good idea.

Hey, guys,
I hate to tell you,

But you've got
To get in these bins

And take
A real good look, okay.

No, sorry,
You can't come out here.

Sorry.
This is a crime scene.
You've got to stay back.

Yeah, I'm going
To want to talk
To anybody else

Who came into work with you
Early this morning, too,
All right?

Yeah, okay.
There's just two of us.

Okay, I'll be in
In a couple minutes
To talk to you,

But you've got to stay out,
All right. Thanks.

Hey, leo.

I think I've got
An earring here.

Okay, take me through
What you have.

Okay, her purse was upended
In the front, on the floor,
Gone through,

But nothing was stolen.

I also got
A bottle of diazepam.

That's an anxiety medication.

It looks like
A new prescription,

But there could be
A couple pills missing
From in there.

Yeah, she said
She was taking medication
To help her sleep.

- are these regular handcuffs?
- yeah, same as we issue.

You can get them
Just about anywhere.

Did you check
Under her fingernails?

Yeah, it looks like
A little bit of blood,

- a chipped nail,
Maybe some skin--
- skin?

Like she was defending herself
Against an attack?

Most likely, but I'm not
Going to say that's
What happened.

Are you getting
Any usable prints
Off of anything?

Oh yeah,
Some good ones.

Could be the tow driver's,
Though.

He opened the door,
The trunk, all over it.

This seat's
All the way back.

Yeah, I noticed that.
She's about how tall?

5'7", 5'6".

Okay, she'd probably
Have the seat forward then.

I checked for prints
On the seat adjust,

- and there's
A grease smear there.
- what does that mean?

Well, underneath the lock,
On the mechanism,
There's grease.

They grease that sometimes
If you've got a sticky lock.

The guy touches that opening
Or closing the trunk,

He goes to drive the car,
Adjusts the seat,

Leaves the grease
On the seat adjust.

Yeah, but she was grabbed
In the alley and put
In the trunk there.

Well, maybe he was going
To drive away with her
In the trunk

When somebody
Interrupted him.

A witness,
Maybe somebody
Going to work,

- somebody shooting up
In the alley.
- yeah.

Oh, oh, I also got
Her cell phone.

Give me that
Cell phone
There?

It was under the seat.

I redialed
The last number she called

- and got your
Answering machine.
- hmm.

- hey, angie.
- hey, brian.

- how's it going?
- oh, pretty good.

- what's going on?
- oh, not much.
How about you?

I heard you were looking
At the east indians

For taking out
Carla and danny zero.

You recovered
A weapon, right?

We recovered a weapon,
Yeah.

- well, I guess they got into
Something over their heads.
- well, that happens.

I tell you, that whole
East indian scene,

You know, that's
A hard one to penetrate.

Did I say I was giving up?

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying
Nobody's had much luck
Over the years, that's all.

Yeah, well,
You make your own luck.
Anyway, take it easy.

Always do.

So what's going on?
Are you still
Sitting on the girls?

No, they're back
Out on the street.

What happened
There?

I guess the owner
Of the escort service

Saw the charges against her.

She decided
To cooperate with the crown,
Pled guilty,

So they didn't need
Brandy or carmen's testimony.

- so they're back
Working?
- probably.

What else are they
Going to do?
They've got habits to feed.

- I don't suppose
They thought about rehab.
- I guess not.

I'm going to try
And keep tabs on them
When I'm out there,

- but, hey, you know
How it goes with that.
- yeah.

Well, if you run
Into either of them,

You make sure
You give them my number.

Any time they've got
Something to tell me...

Well, you know brian wants
To work them up as informants.

Yeah, well, I'd like
To get to them first, so...

Yeah, okay.
I understand.

- I'll let them know.
- all right.

Hey, listen.

Did you ever
Run into a young girl
By the name of sue?

She used to work
The mid track sometimes,

The kiddie stroll
For a while there?

She's small,
She's got long hair,

She knows brian
Pretty good.

Yeah, maybe.
It sounds sort of familiar.

- she's from upcountry, right?
- yeah, from kamloops.

Okay, I know
Who you mean.

She was working
The kiddie stroll
For about a year or so,

But I haven't
Seen her there lately.

- I can ask brian.
- no, don't do that.

Just give me a shout
If you see her.
I just need to catch up.

Will do.

Hey, brenda.

- how are you doing?
- how'd you find me?

Oh, it wasn't that tough.

I just phoned around
The different strip bars

And asked who was dancing.
No big deal.

- you're bad news,
You know that?
- bad news?

You want to talk
About bad news?

- have you seen this?
- yeah.

Here, take a look.
Come here.

See what kind of bull
Your boyfriend's spewing
Right now.

- yeah, I saw that.
- you want to tell me
What's going on there,

What the hell
All this is about?

- I honestly
Couldn't tell you.
- you couldn't?

I guess he had
A change of heart.

Well, you know
What this does
To my proposal

To get a red zone
For the street girls.

It can't be good.
I know that.

I lose jack, I lose
Two council members,
And that's it.

I go from a contender
To a damn mutt.

You can bark all you want
About a red-light district,

But even if you get one,
You can't protect
All the girls.

Come on,
You know that.

You've got to change the laws,
The federal laws,

Or you're running
In circles.

You've got to get
A head of steam up for that.

So you want to tell me
What's going on here?

Like, who put the screws
To your boyfriend?

Why would I know
That?

Because you've got him wired
Coming and going, brenda.

Give me a break here.

Are you asking me
To find out
What's going on,

- why he backed off
The proposition?
- yeah, I am.

That's kind of pathetic

After what you
Asked me to do.

- do you remember
Any of that?
- yeah.

- you asked me to go away,
To leave town.
- yeah.

- do you remember any of that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm not proud.

- I'm asking for your help.
- and now you're asking me
To stay,

Work the councilman
For you.

Forget it, okay.
Just forget I asked.
Forget it.

I didn't say I wouldn't.

Well, what are you
Actually saying, then?

Just pointing out the irony.

Everybody needs a working girl
Now and then. Am I right?

Well, someone threw it
In the system there,

And I just want to know
Who that is, brenda.

- I'll get back to you.
- you will?

I know where to find you.

Okay.
Thanks.

Just talking
To the surveillance officers.

They say they were parked
In front of laura's apartment

Up until
About an hour ago,

And they
Missed her leaving.

She was supposed to call
When she was going
To leave the apartment.

Yeah, well,
That didn't happen.

They got her
On the parking garage
Videotapes

Leaving her apartment
At 6:15.

Yeah. She called kurtz
At 6:30.

So she makes the call
Before she gets on the road.

- yeah.
- presuming she had
Her cell phone.

She did have one.
The guy from the restaurant
Says that he came out about 6:30

To dump some boxes.

Actually, he doesn't know
If it was exactly 6:30,
But around there.

He said when he came out,

He saw her sitting in the car
Talking on the cell phone,

So there you go.
She had one.

- that was probably
The call to kurtz, then.
- yeah, could have been.

Anyway, he comes out
20 minutes later,

Says she's
Not in the car anymore.
He doesn't see her.

He calls the tow company
To come and have it lifted

Because he's got deliveries
Coming and going, right?

So we're looking
At a window now
Of about 20 minutes,

From 6:30
To 10 to 7:00, right?

- yeah, yeah.
- hey!

- I've got some
Car keys in here.
- all right.

Oh, here we go.

Bob!
Bob!

Have you got
A minute?

Yeah.
It'll have to be quick.
What's it about?

Jack pierce.

I saw the piece in the paper
This morning.

Heard the commentary
On the radio,

And I expect to see it
On the evening news.

Too bad you can't
Get coverage like that.

Well, that's the thing
About the media
In this town,

Is one guy
Owns everything.

Yes, I think I've heard
That rant before.

Now, what about jack?

Well, it looks like

He's been sleeping
With this prostitute,
Right.

He thinks he's
Converted her.

And so she's behind
This turnaround?

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

I just spoke to her,

And she's just as much
In the dark as we are.

So what's
Behind it, then?

Well, I don't know.

That's what
I'm asking you.

Maybe he's getting squeezed
In some back room

Down at city hall.

Well, that's possible,
I suppose.

I mean, otherwise,
He would have just
Backed off his position

- and let it die quietly.
- exactly, exactly.

Like, why make a big deal
About this?

Why is he
Calling the media

And making his resignation
So public?

Maybe he's
Positioning himself
Or something.

Like, he wants
To take a run
At the mayor's office?

I just don't know.

Right, and this would be
His first step

- on his political
Platform.
- could be.

How does this fallout
Affect your committee?

I lose jack,
I lose two other
Councilors.

I'm right back at zero again,
Just right back at zero,

So all I want to know
From you, bob,

Is have I got your
Public support on this?

No, I can't publicly stump
For this. I'm sorry.

Just this one time.
I need you on this.

No, what you need
Is the umbrella
Of the coroner's office,

And the only way
I can guarantee you that

Is by denying
That a red-light district

Is my official position.

In the meantime,
You get to utilize
All our resources

To keep this issue
In the public eye.

Oh, no, back up, back up.
Do I have this right?

You're saying
You'll put up
A smoke screen for this?

Yeah. Precisely.

Okay, yeah.
Okay, thanks.
I appreciate it.

All right, bob.
I'll keep you informed, eh?

- [ beeping ]
- what's this?

Yeah, there's nothing
At the scene

To indicate
She was attacked here.
No witnesses.

Well, there was
The kitchen staff.

They saw her when they
Were taking out the garbage,

They saw her
On her phone.

That was the call
To you.

And the kitchen staff
Would have heard

Sounds of the attack
If it had occurred

- right in front
Of their door.
- it's 10 feet away.

They would have heard something,
Screaming, yelling.

Chick told me
That the driver's seat
Had been adjusted back

For a driver
Much taller than laura,

And there was a smear of grease
From the trunk latch
On the seat adjust.

Right, but the mirrors
Weren't adjusted.

Maybe he adjusts the seat
And gets interrupted,

Decides to leave the car
Parked where it is,

Tosses the keys
Down the alley somewhere,

But why he takes the keys
With him, I don't know.

Again, there's no scent
That the dogs
Are picking up

Indicating there was
Anybody around that car,

Except for the guy
In the kitchen.

Yeah, but there's
A lot of people up and down
The alley all night long,

Scavengers and whatever.

Can we just look at this
From another angle?

If laura wanted
To stage this,
What does she do?

She asphyxiates herself
With a bag over her head.

All right,
It doesn't seem

Like the most certain way
To commit suicide, does it?

Not the best chance
Of pulling it off, no.

Maybe she was just intending
To escalate events,

Like staging
Another incident,

Like the assault
And the break-and-enters?

- and her death
Was accidental.
- yeah.

If that's the case,

She handcuffs herself
Behind her back.

Once she starts to asphyxiate,

How was she planning
To get the bag off

When it was cinched
That tight?

Because she was
Expecting to be found
Before that happened.

She deliberately parks
In the loading zone, right,

Thinking somebody's
Going to come by,

And that's when she starts
Kicking in the trunk,
Making noise.

There was evidence
Of that--

Dents in the trunk,
And scuffs on her shoes.

If she was screaming
Inside that bag,

Somebody would have
Heard her.

No, not if there were trucks
Going up and down the alley
Picking up garbage.

Well, maybe one
Of those drivers
Saw something.

We should hear something
From somebody soon.

Okay, sorry.

Where am I going?

Top of the stairs,
First door.

It'll pass...
It'll just
Pass, that's...

Who's that?

He's a friend.
He found her.

All right.

- where?
- right up there.

All the way
To the top, eh?

Yeah.

Hey. It's contained
To the bathroom.

Okay.

In there.

Yeah?

Okay...

Hey, constable? Excuse me.

Is there a baby
Living in this apartment?

Does the woman have a baby?

Because I'm seeing baby things
All through here.

I don't know.

Could you go down

And ask the friend
Who's downstairs,

Ask them what's the deal
With the baby, okay?

All right.

Right away.

Oh, no.

You got a couple minutes
To talk?

Please don't talk to me.

You're going to burn me.

Come on, sue,

Just stop and have
A cigarette with me.

Thanks.

You look tired.

Really? What a surprise.

I've been up since 4:00 a.M.

Are you hungry?

Do you want
Something to eat?

I want some money.

I need to score.

Come on. Get in.
I'll get you something to eat,

And I'll give you something
To tide you over.

Come on.

What time
Did you talk to her?

About two hours ago now.

Okay, you called her?

Yeah.

Okay.

I saw her yesterday,

Brought over some groceries
For her and the baby.

And what was her state of mind?

Yesterday? Or today?

Well, yesterday
And then today.

Well, yesterday,
She seemed to cheer up a bit.

Maybe that was
'cause I gave her a break

From being stuck with the baby
All the time,

And then when I left,

She was looking
Pretty grim again.

I called her
Last night.

She was sleepy
And didn't want to talk,

And then this morning,
I called.

She didn't answer
The first time,

So I called again,

And then
She did answer,

And it was like

She'd already
Done something,

Maybe to the baby.

What, she said
Something like that, then?

Yeah, she said,
"He's gone,"

And I said,
"Who's gone?"

And she said,
"The baby."

I said,
"What do you mean?"

And she said that
It was for the best.

For the best?
She actually said that?

Yeah.

And you took that
To mean what?

That she'd hurt the baby.

Why? Had she said
Something like that before?

Had she ever talked
About harming that baby?

No.

It was harm to herself.

She'd talk about
Harming herself,

And I'd say,
"You can't do that.

"You've got the baby.

He needs you."

Did she take that to heart?

Well, she did
For a while.

Now, what about the father?

Was he in the picture?

No.

He's in the navy.

They weren't really
Together--

A couple of weeks,
You know,

And then he left
And she was pregnant,

And she didn't
Want him to know,

And it's not like
She was in love with him.

Okay, let me just see
If I understand this, now.

It sounds like
She was pretty depressed.

Now, was that since
The baby,

Or was that financial,

Or what do you think
It was?

No, she was happy
When she had the baby.

It was about money.

It was.

It was not being able
To get a job.

She didn't have
Her high school, eh.

She dropped out,

And then the baby came,

And she was trying
To get some training,

But that wasn't working out
For her.

Was there any family
That might help her?

No.

Nobody.

Nobody except you,
I guess.

We went to
High school together.

Did you?

We used to go out,
And we stayed friends.

I tried to do for her
What I could,

But I've got a full-time job
And a wife who's pregnant

Myself.

Do you know

If she was getting
Any treatment

For the depression,

If she was seeing
A therapist, a doctor?

No.

I told her she should,
But that stuff costs money.

Yeah.

Yeah, the medication
Can really be expensive.

Yeah.

Okay, well, you know,

I really appreciate
You talking to me,

And I'm very sorry
For your loss here.

It's pretty rough, hey.

I'm sorry

That I didn't come over
Right away

When I talked to her
This morning,

You know?

I was at work.

Okay, you have to excuse me
For a second.

I'll be right back.

I just have to check
With the paramedics, okay?

You all right?

Yeah. Yep.

What do you think?

Well, looks like
The baby suffocated.

It's hard to tell
How it happened,

But he was stone cold.

Okay.

I'm sorry I had
To make you go up there,

But I needed you
To take a look for me.

We tried not to disturb
Anything up there for you.

Okay, thanks.

Well, I guess
I'll grab my pictures.

It's looking like
A murder/suicide here.

Listen, before you go
Rushing off,

Can you just, uh,

Just make sure
My friend here is okay?

Just go
And talk to him.

I think he's all right.

Listen, I'm going to
Have to go back upstairs

To continue.

If you need anything,
Just ask this lady here

Or check
With the uniform.

They'll call me, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Thanks.

I apologize
For not treating you

Like I would
Any other friend.

Okay.
I accept.

I guess
I didn't realize

What kind of
A dangerous situation

I was putting you in

By talking to you.

Yeah, usually,
You know, you're careful

About not meeting me
Anywhere out in public.

You're cool that way.

I just was
Really pissed

That you thought
I was always lying to you.

Well, I've got to ask
The questions.

Yeah, I know.

I've been trying

To get a break
On these shootings

For a couple of months
Now.

I don't think those are ever
Going to be solved.

Okay.

Anyway, I'm not going to
Press you for information.

I just wanted
To check in on you

And tell you
That I care about you.

I was worried
About you

And wondering
If you were okay.

I used to dream
About flying.

Yeah?

They're pretty clumsy,
Seagulls.

Yeah.

They always overshoot
Their landing,

Got to go around,
Try again.

I was thinking about maybe
Going away for a while.

Yeah? Where to?

I heard hawaii
Was nice and warm.

It is.

Yeah, I loved it.

I think maybe I'd like
To try and quit dope.

Well, I can help you
With that.

Yeah, I think maybe
I'm ready for that.

Any time.

I can put in a word,
Get you in a program.

Will you check that
Out for me?

Sure.

I mean, I can do it

As soon as I get back
To the office.

You won't have
A street rat anymore.

I think I can manage.

Yeah, there's always more
Where I came from, right?

[ beeping ]

And you've got
To go.

Yeah, I've got to go,

But I'll make the calls
To rehab,

And we'll get together
Later today, okay?

Yeah.

Have you got my numbers?

Yeah. I'll call you
Around dinner.

All right.

Are you sure
You don't need a ride?

No.

She was taking diazepam
For anxiety attacks?

Diazepam, yeah,
That's right.

All right,
I'll have them screen for that.

Can you overdose
On that?

It's not impossible,

But you stand a better chance
Of o.D.Ing

On a thousand different drugs,

All more readily available.

What we can see

Is there was a very tight seal
On the bag around her head.

There's a contusion
From the drawstring

Right around her neck.

That's going to keep
The bag on tight,

Causing a complete
Restriction of the airways.

That contusion needs
Oxygen to develop.

Is that right?

Right.

She was alive long enough
For that to show up.

So any other bruises

She might have suffered

Would show up as well.

They would, but I'm not seeing
Anything else.

Minimal contusions
Around the handcuffs,

No bruising anywhere else.

We usually see
A lot of bruising

After a violent assault, right?

Yeah, it's unusual
Not to see any.

I did find some grease
On her left hand,

Which chick thinks
Might have come

From the latch in the trunk.

He's trying to match that up.

So what about
The broken fingernail?

Oh yeah.
Take a look.

We scraped skin

From underneath
A couple of those.

Which would indicate
She did scratch somebody.

Yeah.

There's a razor blade
Under the water

In the tub with her.

Looks like
She probably used that.

Oh yeah.

Hey, was she on any medication,
Do you know?

Well, I didn't see anything
In the medicine chest,

So I don't really
Think so.

Okay, how about
Any other drugs?

Any sign of drug use

Or anything like that
You could see?

No, I don't think so.

I don't think she was a user.

Of course, you guys
Might turn up something there,

But I got no indication of that
From the friend who founher.

Yeah, I was going to ask you
About him.

Did he say
How he got into the apartment?

He had a key.

He'd sometimes
Do some babysitting here,

And I guess she thought

It was a pretty good idea
To give him a key.

Okay,
And when you talked to him,

How did he seem to you?

Anything odd
Jump out?

He's pretty shook up.

I don't think he's involved
In anything here,

Other than what he says
He was doing,

Was helping her out.

Okay.

Pretty sad.

Well, I'll take a look
At the baby now.

Okay, well, it's down
In that little bedroom

Back there.

I've never had a baby death
Before.

Okay, I'll go in
With you, okay?

Thanks.

All right?

Yeah.

Where'd your witness go?

His wife came down
To talk to him.

They went for coffee.

I told them it was okay.

It's okay, right?

Yeah, of course
It's all right.

- all right.
- thanks.

Hey, dominic.

How's it going?

I'm going through
Her stuff, right,

And I found a check stub
From social services.

With a baby and rent,

I don't know how the hell
They expect anybody

To live on that.

Well, they don't.

They want you to go
Find a job.

Going hungry is like
An incentive, eh?

Yeah, only I'm thinking,

How do you go
For a job interview

If you can't afford
To get your hair done

And look your best?

They've got it -- backwards.

Yeah. It's all backwards.

Your witness is over here

Having a coffee,
Apparently, okay.

Okay, I'm going to
Go over and talk to him,

But I'm pretty much seeing
Murder/suicide here.

What do you think?

Right. I think
That's the call.

Okay, well,
Body pickup's here.

Yeah, right.

I've got the baby autopsy
To look forward to.

Yeah.

You'll be all right.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Thought it was you.

Yeah. Hey, mr. Da vinci.

What are you,
Living out here now?

Oh, yeah, I got a place
Right around the corner.

Hey, way to go.

I've been looking
Everywhere for you,
You know.

What happened to you?

Oh, I had to go
In the hospital.

I got hep, right?

Oh, okay.

- I'm sorry.
- so anyway,

About my friend
Who o.D.Ed, lamont?

Yeah, that's why
I've been looking for you.

I've got some
Answers for you.

He didn't o.D.,
You know.

What?

No. He was electrocuted.

Electrocuted?

You know he got
Kicked out of his house?

Well, yeah.
He lived there for a long time.

All his friends lived there.

Oh yeah?

Well, anyway,
When he got kicked out,

He got back in there
And got his tv and his bed,

He put them in the alley,

Then he ran an extension cord
Back into the building,

Got the power out there.

He's lying there on his bed,
He's watching tv,

It started to rain,
And that was it.

He got electrocuted.

You're kidding me.

I'm sorry.

Oh...Wow.

I hope he was watching
Something good.

I don't know
About that.

So what about his body?

We've got that
Down in the morgue.

Well, I want to see
He gets buried properly.

That can get
Pretty expensive, eh?

Oh.

What about cremation?
What's that cost?

Well, that's
A little cheaper.

Okay.

Maybe I can spread his ashes
Over the water,

Maybe from lion's gate bridge.

Don't let anybody
Catch you.

Oh, they won't see me, then.

I'm invisible.

I see you.

Sometimes you do,
Sometimes you don't.

The autopsy
Was non-conclusive,

So the question is,

Did laura stage a suicide
To look like a homicide,

Or was she actually attacked
By somebody in the alley there?

Personally, I'm leaning
Towards her staging it.

She takes the diazepam,
Suppresses her breathing,

Climbs into the trunk,

Closes that,

Pulls the bag onto her own head,

Gets the handcuffs on herself.

She could have done all that
Easily in 20 minutes,

Easily.

My only question there

Is the grease
From the trunk latch

On the seat adjust.

How does it get there
If she's in the trunk?

Okay, well,
She's taken the drugs,

So maybe she's a little groggy,

And she goes back
To open the trunk.

That's when
She gets the latch grease

On her hand,

And then she remembers

She wanted to move
The seat back,

So she goes forward,
Moves the seat.

That's how she gets the grease
On the seat adjust,

And then she takes the keys,
She tosses them in the dumpster,

And then she crawls
Back into the trunk.

All right, all right.
That plays.

So that only leaves us

With the skin
Underneath the fingernails.

I mean, it would seem to me

That that
Would have had to have come

From her
Scratching somebody.

I don't know.
Considering her mental health,

I don't think it's a stretch

To think that
She might have staged that, too.

If she was going to go as far

As to stab
Daniel cousins

In order to
Substantiate her story

About being stalked,

She's probably
Just about capable

Of doing anything.

What do you think, leo?

Well, we know

That her agenda
Was seeking attention,

So in my opinion,

That's what she was trying
To do here,

To escalate that,

And the scenario
Just got out of hand

And went too far

And she died.

That makes it
An accident.

Okay, well, I think we're all
On the same page on this.

Laura staged it

To make us think
She was attacked

By somebody
Who was stalking her.

It's looking that way.

I agree.

Okay, so that's our call
On this,

And I think we can move on.

All right.

I'll go write it up.

Three years already, huh?

Three years.

Time flies.

It used to.

I think it's better if
You share it with someone.

Ah.

Have you got plans
For dinner?

No.

You want to come over?

Yeah, sure.
It's a special day.

I've got a friend coming.

A friend? Who is that?

Mr. Chan, the neighbor.

I don't think
I know him, do I?

Oh, yes, you do.

He's the widower
Around the corner.

He was a friend
Of your father.

Oh.

Okay.

I need a hand up.

Oops.

- there you go.
- yeah.

Okay, I'm going home.

Hey, leo,
If someone called sue calls in,

Could you give her
My home number

And tell her
To call me there?

Yeah, sure.

Okay. See you.

Hey, leo.

Hey, rose.
How are you doing?

Oh, not so good.

What are you working on?

Just writing up
That laura maitland mess.

You heard
About all that?

Yeah. What a shame.

Well, you called it.

Yep.

What's the matter?
Why are you looking so glum?

You see this yet?

What is it?

I got a fax
From winnipeg.

They arrested two natives
Robbing a gas station.

They had our murder weapon
In the back of the vehicle.

Oh yeah?

Well, they caught them.

I guess they'll be shipping them
Out here

To face homicide charges.

Where's mick?

I don't know.

We're not communicating.

You want to talk
About that?

I've got nothing to say.

He's the one
Who might have something to say.

Okay.

Well, I guess
I'm going to be going.

Hang on a second.
I'm almost done.

You like that chair?

Yeah.

You want
Some company?

No, I'm good, thanks.

You want a date?

[ da vinci ]:
It isn't over.
