Five, maybe six.

They just all kind of rushed in, Turned over the tables,

Busted maybe Three guys

Who were holding--

You know, guys who came To get new needles--

And they stomped All over the needles

Like some kids Throwing a tantrum.

That's like The third or fourth time,

Isn't it?

Third time This month.

This month?

People are going to stop coming To get needles.

I think that's Kind of the point.

You didn't get Any badge numbers?

No, I told you already.

Look, I don't really think

I'm going to get anywhere With this.

Holy--

We've got the same prescription, Pretty much.

Those look good on you.

Hey, thanks for The toaster oven.

Yeah, you bet.

Catch you guys later.

See you.

Mick gave you His toaster oven?

Yeah, he said he was moving, Getting rid of some stuff.

I needed a new one, so...

Yeah, he gave me a tv set And a couple of lamps.

He's giving away Everything he owns.

Yeah, I did the same thing once.

You know, I didn't want To move all my stuff,

So I bought new stuff, Had it delivered.

Yeah, but he's not doing that.

He's living in his truck.

In his truck?

Yeah.

Well, that doesn't Sound good.

Thanks.

I don't know what it is.

I guess it's something that he's Got to figure out for himself.

Yeah.

Didn't he break up With his girlfriend

A while back?

The pathologist?

Yeah. Sunny. They broke up.

Mick's been kind of messed up Since that shooting.

Yeah.

That's what I'm kind of worried about.

I'm thinking, like,

This, you know, might all Have something to do with that.

You should say something To angie.

She could keep an eye out.

I did.

I gave her A head's up.

Hmm.

Well, what's the point

Of having a needle Exchange program

If your police Hooligans

Are going to come In there once a week

And bust the place up?

I didn't hear about that.

Yeah, they're resorting

To the same Intimidation tactics.

Unfortunately, They work pretty good.

The people manning

The needle Exchange program

Are starting to get Pretty upset.

They're entitled To police protection

Like anybody else,

And they're Starting to feel

Like they need protection From the protection.

You know,

I get a lot of calls From people,

All the time,

About how they're upset

When their friends and family Come to vancouver

And they have To run the gauntlet

Of dealers And panhandlers

If they want to go Down to that area...

I understand that.

Or gastown,

Or chinatown, The cruise ships.

Yeah, well, I'm not that happy About people

Having to do all their business Out in the street either.

And it's not just the addicts.

I mean, It's the prostitutes too.

Well, you know, The sex trade

The drug trade, They're not going anyplace.

Now, we agree On that, don't we?

All right,

So either we keep on Doing what we're doing,

Which is hiring More and more police,

Keep pushing the addicts And the hookers

Further along hastings street

Or the granville mall Or wherever,

Or we sit down,

We develop a strategy Which will address the problem.

So what do you want?

I mean, what would be At the top of your wish list?

I'd set up a supervised Safe injection site right away

And get it running.

There's a safe place For the addicts to shoot,

We can expose them

To the various Health programs

That are available For them,

And like that.

Look, They're off the street corner,

Makes your citizens happy,

And these guys Have a safer environment.

Oh, sorry.

Safe injection sites...

All right.

All right?

If I help you With that,

Will you do Something for me?

Absolutely. Of course.

I've got to clean up The police force.

We got a major problem Down there.

It's out of control.

That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you.

What have you got in mind?

Well, I've got A meeting coming up With the police board.

We're coming up at the end Of the current chief's tenure,

So either we offer him A new contract,

Or we search around For a better candidate,

Someone who can bring This city forward.

I'm 100% behind youon th.

Good, so this candidate Obviously has to be somebody

With policing experience,

You know, Somebody who knows the city,

Knows the problems,

And preferably somebody With a bit of profile.

Who would you have in mind?

I'm looking at him.

Uh...

You have The background for it

And the mayor thinks

He can sell you To the police board.

That's a pretty big Piece of business

For me to bite off.

You know, I've got enough enemies

To last me like two lifetimes Out there.

That's got to be The most thankless job

On the planet.

Just think about it.

If you have any questions, Call me. Please.

Well, I'll definitely Be thinking about it.

In the meantime,

I'll fax you a list Of city properties.

You let us know which ones You think might work

For a safe Injection site.

Boy, oh, boy. I sure didn't expect this.

What's your name Again?

Claire.

Claire.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, oh, hey, helen,

Hi. Yeah.

Listen, uh...

Police board.

I want to know who the, uh...

I want to know Who's on that police board.

Could you find that out for me And some backgrounders?

[ cell phone rings ]

The police board.

Hold on a second. My other cell phone.

Yeah?

It's me.

Yeah, okay.

Helen, hold on.

Okay, I'm coming, all right?

All right, be right there. Bye.

You got my glasses?

Oh, great.

Yeah.

What happened to your Other glasses?

Oh, listen,

I'm expecting A really important fax

From the mayor's office

Regarding possible Safe injection sites.

What's this?

Oh, great. That's it.

Yeah, that's A federal thing.

You need the feds On board for that.

They said that the city Can approve in principle,

But the distribution Of a controlled substance, That's federal.

[ pager beeps ]

Well, no, there's No distribution going on.

People bring their own dope.

It's no different from...

Needle exchange.

I've got To take this.

Who do I have to see?

The minister of health.

What happened To your other glasses?

I lent them to somebody.

Well, can I get right in there And see the minister?

We must know somebody in there.

Yeah, okay. I'll get on it.

Okay.

So what brought The mayor around?

What?

Well, how come He's backing

The injection Sites now?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm just glad he is, though.

Well, maybe he's not Going to run again.

He never said Anything to me

About running Or not running.

What's that?

This is the list of directors On the police board.

Excellent.

Why do you Need those?

I need it.

Thank you, helen. Excellent.

You're welcome. Bye-bye.

[ leary ]: I'll read anything, If I can't sleep.

[ kosmo ]: What turned you on To this stuff?

What's it called?

It's called The narrow road To the deep north.

Basho.

He was a poet in japan In the 1600s,

And anyway,

He lost his house in a fire, Right?

He lost everything in it,

And he suddenly realized

That the only thing he had left Was himself,

And he got this idea That if you walked far enough,

Maybe you could lose that too,

So he walked And he walked,

Maybe a couple Ofundred miles,

All over japan,

Visited different monasteries, Things like that,

Then he wrote about it.

And did he?

Did he ever lose himself?

I don't know.

I haven't finished it yet.

He got lost on the road A couple of times,

I guess that's Losing yourself.

Yeah, I guess it is.

My brother was In a monastery.

Really?

He's someplace In idaho now.

I don't hear from him too often.

They take a vow of silence.

You know, I'm thinking

That's just about probably The hardest vow to keep.

It would be for me.

I'm on the phone For five minutes,

I hang up, it's an hour later.

I don't like the phone too much.

You can't see the people's eyes.

You can't see their gestures.

You don't notice All their tells and giveaways.

I never thought about it.

I guess you're right.

Letters are more intimate.

People don't write letters Anymore.

You write a letter, You get to edit yourself.

That's not letting the person See your eyes right there.

I haven't written a letter In a long time.

I used to have a pen pal In mexico.

Yeah? I had a pen pal in greece.

I always wonder What happened to her.

Mine started asking me For money,

So I started loading up The quarters into the envelope,

Sending him my allowance

And the old man came

And he caught me Doing it one day,

And that was Just about all I wrote.

Someone's going to be by To talk to you real soon,

All right?

I'll be right back, okay?

Make sure Victim services

Gets here some time Today, okay?

Geez, I called Half an hour ago.

They're on their way.

Yeah, well tell them To step on it.

Hey, angie, mick.

Hey, suki.

What's going on?

Hey, where's brian?

I don't work With him anymore.

I got bumped from vice Up to robbery.

No kidding?

Hey, congratulations On both counts.

You must be thrilled, Leaving him behind.

Yeah, apparently there is a god After all.

So what's going on here?

Oh, it looks like A grow house rip.

They've got about Five kilos of bud

Just ready to harvest.

This lady, tam tan,

She rents, Lives upstairs,

Says she doesn't Know a thing

About the grow-op In the basement.

That's the usual Response.

Complete denial.

Flashlight?

So what went down?

Thanks.

About 3:00, 4:00 a.M. This morning,

Her back door Gets kicked in,

Her son, Who lives with her,

He catches a two-by-four In the head.

He's in the hospital, Hasn't regained consciousness.

Who knows if he will,

Or what kind of condition He'll be in if he does.

You got a line on the landlord?

He lives in hawaii.

We're tracking him down.

How many guys?

Two, sounds like.

So they kick in the door Upstairs here,

Conk the son, grab tam,

Try to force her To give up the key,

Which she already said She didn't have,

So they push her Around a bit for that,

And then, get this, Decide to rape her.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, so they Do their stuff,

Then, on the way out,

They decide to give the basement One more try.

They get the door open Upstairs here.

Come on down.

Watch it, The stairs are steep.

I can smell it from here.

It reeks.

It's like flies to honey.

Yeah, they knew it was ripe,

So somebody Had inside information.

Nothing happens Without somebody

Ratting out somebody else.

There you go.

He must have caught A hell of a jolt,

Scorched his boot, Burned his hand there.

Yeah, he raped that woman And stepped right into hell.

Yeah, he got his.

So it's a booby trap, Or what?

I called forensics To go over it.

They're on their way.

Should be safe for now.

The hydro guy's Already been here,

Secured the juice.

You see that water On the floor,

That's an irrigation line That was leaking.

She give you A description

Of the other guy?

Just like this one.

Skinhead, Mid-20s, white.

I couldn't figure

If this ranked As a homicide, Or what.

How you doing?

Okay.

It's pretty ripe.

You might want To hold your nose.

Really?

How long has it been Since somebody saw her?

Church about a week ago,

Then apparently

Some friends From the congregation

Tried to phone,

But couldn't Get through.

It was the gardener Who finally found her.

He was working on The gutters here,

Saw her through The window in bed,

Couldn't rouse her.

Is he still around?

No, he had to go Do some other jobs,

But I've got his number.

She in here?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Looks like she died Pretty peacefully.

Just kind of slipped away.

Blood thinners.

Maybe she was a stroke victim.

Walker.

She had Another stroke.

Look here.

Phone was off the hook.

That's how it was When you found her?

Mm-hmm.

Her friends couldn't Get through.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Step outside if you have to.

Okay, just another picture.

I heard rose was getting Kicked up to homicide,

So I got on down To robbery,

Took the exams, Got lucky.

That's the way To do it.

You've got to hustle.

I thought maybe

You had something To do with it,

Put in a word for me, Maybe.

Hey, you got a friend Somewhere, I guess.

Hi, guys. Mick. Sorry I'm late.

Hey, chick. No problem.

I'll take you in.

So what about brian?

See him anymore?

Not if I Can help it.

He's got a new partner.

She's going to get

Totally sucked up In it.

You can tell.

What's her name?

From drug squad.

Marla something-or-other?

Marla...

She's a player.

What do you mean?

She's a hustler, Like brian.

Likes to party With the boys,

You know?

Hmm, not much in the fridge.

Half a quart Of lemonade,

Some pickles And that...

Not much in The cupboards either.

Baking powder, Flour...

The cupboards Are pretty bare.

Oh, except For the freezer.

She's got a bunch Of meals in here.

Five or six Of them, anyway.

Kind of look Homemade too.

Must have her Meals delivered.

You know how they do that?

What is that?

That smell?

Lemon, you mean?

Yeah.

Air freshener?

You spray it? No, not me.

There's a friend of hers Outside.

Oh, great.

I'll be right there.

Keep looking around.

Okay.

Look at that mailbox.

Completely full.

No one's picking up the mail For her.

This is mrs. Franks.

She's a friend From church.

Mrs. Franks?

Mm-hmm.

This is the coroner.

He's just got A couple of questions for you.

How do you do?

My condolences.

Call me dominic.

Thank you.

Pleased to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

When was the last time

You saw your friend Mrs. Ripley?

Well, I was away For a while.

Six weeks, I guess.

Somebody came

And got her At the home

And took her down To the picnic

At stanley park.

How was she then?

Oh, she was her usual.

She was lively.

She liked to sing.

She was always singing.

Off-key, but she enjoyed it.

I think people should be allowed To sing off-key if they want.

Me too. I know I do.

I'm lucky I've got a good voice.

I'm in a choir.

You are lucky.

Now, when you say

That somebody came by the home And picked her up

And took her to the park,

Who was that?

Not here.

The place she was staying Before she moved back here.

Oh, she was in a care facility.

Until they moved her out.

Her doctor Would know all about that.

Yeah, well, her doctor...

We're having kind of a hard time Locating him.

I understand that she had, uh...

Limited mobility.

She was paralyzed On the one side.

Her right, I think.

Yes, she was paralyzed On the right side.

Okay.

Well, I can't think Of any more questions for you.

I really appreciate You telling me this.

Could you just Give your number

To the officer,

In case we need Something more?

At least She died at home.

Yeah, she got that.

Thanks again.

Hi, helen.

Yeah, it's me.

Listen, I'm experiencing A spike in elderly deaths

Over here on the west side.

Could you run Some numbers for me?

I'm just seeing Way too many of them.

So you open the door,

And that motion sensor there Behind you

Turns on the current.

Then you got this Metal pipe handrail here

That's hooked up to it.

That's what burned His hand there, see?

Yeah, the stairs Are pretty steep.

He would have had To grab that handrail.

Yeah, well,

Just in case he didn't,

These metal stairs here Are going to conduct too,

So right away, He got the full jolt.

It would have Knocked him

Right down the stairs,

And because of the leak On the floor here,

All this water is live too.

Yeah, right.

So he lands In the pool of water,

And if he ain't Dead already,

He is now, Because he fries right up.

So it's a homicide, then.

Yeah, that's Pretty much for sure.

A lot of these grow-ops Got homemade security systems.

The money's just too big not to.

It's just up here.

[ leo ]: okay, How does that work?

Right.

Yeah, well, once a day.

How much does that cost?

Okay.

No, he's off the paper.

"Lucky."

Right, okay.

I'll get a key made for you.

Thanks.

Dog walker.

You've got a dog?

I've got a puppy From the pound.

Oh, what kind?

He's a 57.

Mostly terrier, I think.

He's got that wiry kind of fur.

The vet says They don't shed much.

You hope.

Mixes are the best, though.

Smarter.

How big?

Well, I think he's going to be About, you know, yay-high.

You can tell By their feet.

He's going to be A little dog.

My aunt had a little dog, A lap dog.

You'd pick it up,

It'd shake all over

And pee on you.

Barked at the tv, the walls, Your shoes, anything.

Well, this guy's Not going to be like that.

He's really nice and quiet.

That's why I picked him.

Lucky. That's his name.

You name him?

No, that's what they were Calling him down at the pound.

He was scheduled to be put down, And then I showed up,

So it fits.

Your aunt's little dog, Has she still got him?

He got run over.

Oh, that's a shame.

Yeah,

My aunt was really busted up About it too,

And then I felt bad, Because I never liked him.

Hey, thanks a lot.

It just seems like I'm on my fourth or fifth call

Here this year.

Old folks Dying at home.

Everything's Not quite right in there.

Well, you know What it is.

It's the hospital cutbacks

And extended care And all that crap.

They send them Back home,

And guess what happens?

They die.

Okay, that's The theory, leo.

I hope that's not The case here,

But, I don't know,

It's worth Taking a look.

The older I get,

The more suspicious I get,

You know what I mean?

Who was taking Care of this lady?

Not sure.

We're trying to get a hold Of her doctor.

When was the last time Anybody was in here?

We're trying

To get a hold Of the gardener too.

He's the guy Who found her, so...

Hey, rose, you see a thermostat Around there anywhere?

Uh...

Yeah.

Here we go.

What's it say?

75.

She's old, she likes it warm.

That soil Is still wet.

There's no way,

Sitting on top Of the radiator

Like that for a week,

That that could Still be wet,

So somebody Had to be in here.

Where'd you pick that up?

I killed more plants Than anybody.

You want to look In the bedroom?

Rose?

She used A walker, huh?

Yeah, she was, uh...

She was partially Paralyzed.

So she places The walker

Over there In the corner

And hops back Into bed?

I don't think so.

Somebody moved That walker.

What's this Medicine?

Blood thinners.

You know, After a stroke,

That prevents Blood clots.

Can we take these covers off?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I got my pictures.

Her feet haven't been Cared for in a while.

Her toenails are curling.

I don't think She's been mobile either.

Bed's soiled.

Well, if she was Bedridden,

That means somebody

Had to have moved That walker.

Yeah.

Well, it may be nothing,

But I'm glad to have The extra set of eyes.

I'll send her in To autopsy.

Could be she was just Forgotten to death.

Don't even worry About that guy...

Hey, suki.

Hey.

Uh, marla, This is suki.

You guys know Each other, right?

Yeah, we went through Training together.

How you been?

Good. You?

She's fine, She's great.

I just miss Looking at you.

Really.

I've got some stuff--

Listen, I just wanted To tell you

That the whole time I was working with you,

I was always trying

To control My feelings for you.

Trying to keep it Professional, you know?

Well, I appreciate that, brian.

I really do.

Well, hey, listen,

If you ever Change your mind

And you want to go For a drink or something,

You know Where to find me.

So, take it easy.

I almost forgot.

You were on that grow-op call This morning, right?

Yeah, couple of skinheads Beat and raped the tenant.

One of them died.

This kid I've got on the hook,

He was going to fill me in On the details.

You want to go For the ride?

We're meeting Over in the east end.

Now? He's got something on the case?

We're on our way-- When she comes with our lattes.

Uh, yeah.

Uh, well, I've got to let homicide know.

No, well...

I want to give this to you, My old partner,

Because you're My old partner.

I've got to make the call To homicide.

You don't want To share the info,

You explain it to them.

This is where the guy'll be, Okay?

I'll warm him up for you.

Thanks.

Make sure Homicide knows

Where you got this, Okay?

Thank you.

"You're welcome."

We're waiting For her daughter

To arrive from victoria.

The son's in the hospital.

She doesn't want To talk to anybody.

Wouldn't let the doctor Do the rape kit.

It is traumatic.

She just wants it all To go away.

I don't imagine she's going To want to get up in court

And explain everything.

So this is an isolated incident?

Suki says She looked at the database,

And this is The fourth one on record

This past month.

I mean, there's A lot of drug rip-offs

Going down all the time,

But usually They don't get reported.

How are we doing On the second suspect?

Turns out they lived together In surrey,

So we've got the horsemen Sitting on their place,

See if that other guy turns up.

Okay, well, Hook up with drug squad,

And see what kind Of intelligence they've got.

How're you two getting on?

Good, yeah.

No complaints.

Hey, leo, You got a second?

Yeah.

Just wanted To talk to you.

This stays between You and me, okay?

Okay.

I'm thinking of Putting my name in

For chief of police.

Yeah, That's a good one.

Seriously. Seriously.

You're serious?

Yes.

Well, I think

You may be seriously Underestimating

The depth of animosity

Out there In certain quarters.

You wouldn't make it Past the first cut.

I appreciate Your honesty.

What the hell Would you want to go

And take on something Like that for, anyway?

What's the matter?

She died waiting in emergency.

They think It was a stroke.

A stroke?

I want the body.

I want to do an autopsy.

Her next-of-kin Have already picked her up.

They're taking her Back to the reserve for burial.

Oh, geez.

Okay, okay, We'd better get on the phones.

See if we can get in touch With somebody

Before it's too late here.

Thanks, helen.

Yeah.

You can't be 100% certain She died

As a result of that assault At the needle exchange.

She never filed The police report,

She never made it To the doctor

To get her exam done,
