I've got to jump.

Hey.

Which house is it?

It's this Gray stucco one

With the big Picture window.

You didn't call Emergency response?

No, didn't have to.

I talked to him on the phone, And he laid down the shotgun.

Any more weapons In there?

No. We had a look around.

The shotgun was All he had.

There he is.

What's his name?

Uh...

Farris dunlap.

When you talked to him, Did he threaten you or anything?

No, he was Totally calm.

How did the conversation go?

Basically, We told him

It was making The neighbors nervous

Having some guy Stand in the window

With a shotgun,

And would he Give it up,

And he said only If we called homicide.

We told him he had To give up the gun first.

You know if he's In there alone?

Yeah, and we've got A constable in there, Keeping an eye on him.

You run his name For wants?

Yeah, nothing.

What about psych? They ever hear of him?

No. Uh-uh.

Okay, so we don't know

If this guy's On any kind of medication,

Or anything like that?

No.

He just said he needed the gun For protection.

Okay, well, We'll go in and talk to him.

All right.

[ knocks ]

Mr. Dunlap?

Who are you?

Leo shannon,

Vancouver homicide.

This is my partner, Rose williams.

Are you on any kind Of medication, mr. Dunlap?

No, I'm not sick.

There's nothing wrong With me.

Can I see some I.D.?

Okay, you're homicide.

Good, good. That's who I wanted.

Mr. Dunlap,

You want to tell us What this is about?

I need to show you Something inside.

Sit down, dom. Relax.

Thank you. How you been?

Trying to keep A lid on things.

You?

Yeah, about the same.

Oh, I was supposed To see you at that fight, And I was on call.

I missed The whole damn thing.

You didn't miss much.

Too much red wine, The usual rubber chicken.

I heard One of the fighters died.

Yeah, yeah. Dehydration.

Oh.

Anyway, That's a different story.

I'm here on Something else.

You want to talk About safe injection sites.

Safe injection sites. That is right.

You know, personally,

I'm not on side With this at all,

- and I think you may have A problem with legality. - well,

We've got to do Something different.

I can't have all these ods And hiv rates the way they are And do nothing.

That's my mandate. Arresting junkies,

I don't think That's going to Solve our problem.

Well, I'm not sure I agree with that either.

We've seen a turn For the better

The last little while With the crackdown.

- yeah? - yeah.

Cosmetic,

And temporary At best.

You might have moved These guys around

A little bit down On that corner,

Because you pulled All the cops

From all the other Neighborhoods.

Now, I want to go To those other neighborhoods

And take a look At the crime rate there.

I bet right Through the roof.

I've got a stack of letters And a ton of e-mails from people

Who're saying They're thrilled

We've cracked down On dope sales here.

I've got, like, A half a dozen dead bodies

Stacked up in my morgue, Okay?

Ods from the last Week and a half alone.

You know, yeah.

Main and hastings Does look a lot better,

But if you go down In the alleys,

It's 10 times worse.

Let's agree to disagree.

Well, okay,

What if I got Health canada on board?

If they support My safe injection sites,

And the a-g,

The attorney general Says okay,

Where do you stand?

If you get a ruling That it's legal,

Then we'll deal with that.

Yeah? Okay.

That's about the best scenario I could possibly have hoped for.

Let me get out of here Before you change your mind.

Coming to the policeman's ball This year?

Wouldn't miss it For the world.

This is wendell quinn.

Listen.

Farris, buddy. Guess who?

Didn't think I could find you,

Huh?

Man, this can Only end one way.

My brother's blood

Is crying out From the grave,

And you know What he wants?

He wants justice, And it's coming.

You're not Going to know when

Or where,

But it's soon.

Count the days, buddy.

Count the days.

[ answering machine beeps ]

That's a death threat.

Why's that?

'cause he thinks I murdered his brother.

Did you murder his brother?

He thinks I killed him, But I never even met the guy.

I never even met him.

What's he dogging you for, Then?

I don't know.

Case of mistaken identity.

He's crazy.

He's a complete stranger, too.

So you never met this Wendell quinn either?

I never Met him either,

But I know he was in jail For manslaughter, assault.

He escaped once

From william head Prison

Back in the '80s. You can check it out.

The '80s? How long's This been going on?

20 years.

The first time he calls, I'm living in comox,

So I move to prince rupert.

He finds me there.

Victoria Is the same story,

And now here.

He's been dogging you For 20 years

Because he thinks You killed his brother?

Did you ever go to the police And tell them about it?

Yeah, and they go and see him, But they can't do nothing.

Well, not till I'm killed, Anyway,

And then it'll be A little late.

What about a restraining order? Have you tried that?

Yeah.

It's the same story.

They pick him up On the complaint,

And then they let him go.

Well, your best bet

Is to file another Court order.

I found this On my front porch

When I got home From work last night.

What the hell is this?

It's a finger.

A human finger.

Oh.

Yeah, that's, uh, pretty old, But that's a finger all right.

His pickup

Was in front of my house This morning.

He was in it.

Now, that's why I got my shotgun.

Okay, what kind of a pickup Was he driving?

Kind of a late '60s, Rusty red... Here.

I got the license number.

Okay, good.

I'm sick of running. Sick of it.

Okay, well, we'll see If we can find this quinn

And have a talk with him.

I don't suppose

I could have My shotgun back.

No,

And I don't recommend You go out

And buy another one, Either.

I spoke With phil rosen.

He said he will not accept

An apology by proxy.

You're going to have To call him yourself.

He's the one's Got to apologize.

I'm not getting into that. Here's the deal.

Health canada. You were right.

I do have to talk To somebody down there

About setting up The safe injection sites,

So I was just wondering If you could maybe, uh...

See where they stand.

I'll set up a call.

Okay.

Now, on the darcy charlie thing, I need some leverage there.

I've got to make A big deal out of this.

I thought the autopsy Was inconclusive.

Well, yeah, It was pretty inconclusive,

But there's Some iffy areas there

Around the edges

I can really work,

So what I need is a witness To prove it happened,

Someone who saw the incident.

Could you get somebody to walk Around the carnegie center

And just see what People might remember?

I can do that.

Okay.

I'll call phil rosen.

Oh.

Do you mind If I stick around?

I haven't seen you grovel In awhile.

I'm not groveling To phil rosen, okay,

And especially not With you here.

Hey, is...

Okay, you all right?

Yeah, I just want to talk To phil rosen.

Is he in there?

Dominic da vinci.

Thank you.

I'm on hold.

He's going to leave me on hold For, like, half an hour,

You watch.

You get going On the witness thing.

Hi, phil. It's dominic.

Okay, look, That's why I'm calling.

Yeah,

I just wanted to apologize To you for...

Spilling the wine on you.

I admit it.

What you said Kind of insulted me, phil.

Hold it, now. Do you...

Don't you remember What you said to me?

What you called me?

Well, phil,

If you don't remember What you insulted me with,

Then I don't Have to apologize.

Right. No, hang on.

That's not Why I really called.

I want to know About darcy charlie.

Did she ever...

Needle exchange, yeah. Did she come and talk to you?

She did?

Well, was there A statement?

Beautiful.

What are you doing right now?

I want to come over and see you. Can I?

Is it lunch time already? Yeah.

Okay, let's do lunch, then.

You're paying, right?

Fair enough. No apology, we go dutch.

Okay, I'll be right over.

Brian killed carla, I know he did,

And probably Other people, too.

That wasn't The first time,

And maybe not The last.

And we want to get him On that for sure,

But we've got to go slow.

Now, we need you To get close to him again,

Start talking to him, Whatever you normally do,

So that we can Start to monitor him,

Figure out the best way To take him down.

Yeah, okay.

You do buy drugs From him, right?

That's what you said.

Yeah.

Okay, we need you To figure out for us

Who his...

Who the dope Connection is,

All right?

Just to establish

His friends, His habits,

That kind of thing.

Okay.

Get a picture Of that.

Do you want me

To write any Of this down, or...

No, no. Just keep it in your head.

Am I ever going To have to testify,

Or anything like that?

No.

It's completely Unofficial,

Under the rug.

I know he sometimes hangs out At the american hotel.

I could probably Run into him there.

Okay.

Well, we don't really Have a timeline on this,

So just take your time, Don't push it, you know?

Make it casual.

You set up all right? How's the hostel?

Yeah, it's good.

I get a free breakfast.

Some of those foreign kids Are pretty interesting.

Thanks for doing that.

Sure.

I'm going to give you

A private cell number To memorize, okay?

You call me any time,

Day or night.

Wendell quinn?

That's me.

Vancouver homicide.

Farris send you?

Yeah.

He doesn't appreciate Getting body parts in the mail.

Got his attention, did it?

Where'd you get the finger?

I got it in the mail 20 years ago.

It's my brother's.

We were over At farris's,

And he said that you Left a death threat

On his answering machine,

And that finger On his porch.

You don't know the whole story.

That little -- Killed my brother.

He says he didn't Even know your brother.

He's lying.

Farris knows what he did,

And I'm not breaking any laws By reminding him.

Yeah?

Well, in our minds,

And maybe in the minds Of the crown,

Leaving a threatening message And a body part,

That's a death threat.

"Leave room for god's wrath, For it is written,

'it is mine to avenge And I will repay.'"

That you talking or the bible?

That's god talking, mister.

I'm just leaving room For his wrath.

Okay, well,

I'm curious. What's your brother's story?

His name was roger quinn.

He was an informant For a vancouver drug cop.

Your brother Was a snitch for somebody?

I didn't say he was a prince, But he was my brother,

And when your brother Gets killed,

Well, you know how it goes.

Anyway, this drug cop was trying To build a case against farris

In some heroin deal.

My brother Was supposed to be the witness,

And he disappears.

I get a finger In the mail

And a warning.

Whose finger is it?

I told you. It's my brother's.

See that scar on it?

I know that's his for sure.

Did you tell the police About the finger

When you got it?

I told the drug cop right away.

He told me it's a finger, He needs the body.

Do you know The name of this drug cop?

Yeah.

Clayton hurley. He's retired.

I'd say talk to him,

But that's been tried before, And nothing ever happened,

But I know he Knows something.

I heard a few things

When I was On the inside.

Okay, tell you what,

We're going to talk To this drug cop

About your situation

And you're going To leave this farris guy alone.

Yeah, okay.

That'll do for me for now.

Hey, we're not Cutting you a deal.

Either way, You stop bothering this guy.

Look, I just want to get My brother's body back.

I want to bury him With my mother and my father,

And have this whole thing Over with.

Why did you send farris Your brother's finger,

If that was the only Piece of evidence that you had?

I wanted to scare him.

He needs a little reminder Every now and then.

You know, a kick up the butt.

Well, you did that.

[ dog barks ]

How you doing, There, buddy?

I remembered What you said

That caused This whole thing.

What?

You called me A poverty pimp.

I don't remember that.

No, you said the only Reason I'm a lawyer

Was because people down here Can't afford a real shyster.

I think you called me Anti-semitic.

I don't Remember that.

Yeah, yeah.

I simply said

You were acting Like a dictator,

And you jumped Right to nazi,

And then you said it Was also anti-semitic

To call you a shyster,

Because that was Based on shylock

And that's just

Typical lawyer hyperbole And guesswork, there, phil,

Because I looked it up, And you are wrong.

I don't remember that.

Oh, yeah,

And that's when you called me

An east end wop And a media whore,

And that's When I threw my drink on you.

So you admit You threw the drink.

Okay.

I threw the drink.

Boy, I hope we're moving on.

[ laughs ]

Ridiculous.

What's this about darcy charlie?

What's going on?

What she told me was That she was beaten by cops

When she was Working the needle exchange.

Oh, yeah, well, It's in there.

You filed a complaint?

No, I sent her Over to the cop shop

To make a report.

I don't think She ever got there.

I read your autopsy report.

It was inconclusive.

Something else come up?

Well, maybe.

It's just I need some leverage.

I want something I can Really hold over their heads.

You know, if I had a witness To this beating,

That'd be the right thing Right now,

But I got the cops Kind of nervous.

I'd like to Keep them there.

There's a couple of names In her statement.

There is?

Why do you want leverage?

Well, two reasons, really, Actually, phil.

One is I want to get The sa injection site open.

Well, you've been Kicking that one around

For a while,

So what's The second thing?

I've been thinking about running For the job of chief of police,

And I'd love to get Your opinion.

Well, I've been wondering What you were going to do

To top off Your brilliant career,

And, in a stunning display Of self-destruction,

You've produced a winner.

I mean, we've had four chiefs In the past 10 years,

So that's a perfect job

In which to immerse yourself Neck-deep in...

Well, okay. I appreciate your candor.

This thing is really old.

I think it's actually mummified.

Leo, don't open that up In the car.

Oh, sorry.

This sort of thing bother you?

Yeah,

But what bothers me more Is that they don't bother you.

You believe This guy's story?

Well, it's too weird

Not to be true.

Well, it's a pretty cold case, This brother thing.

Maybe we should dump it on them.

Let's see if the story Checks out first.

The one about the finger?

No, the one about the drug cop.

Well, I suppose

We can get some dna off of this,

Find out if it's A family member, at least.

They couldn't do that back then.

He was really spooked,

Wasn't he?

I would be too If I got a finger in the mail.

I don't think They'll be open

For the next Couple of hours.

What happened here?

It's a police matter.

I got meal tickets For here.

They don't accept them Anywhere else.

Where am I going?

In the kitchen.

How you doing?

Oh, it's you.

Yeah.

Nice to see you.

Nice to see you.

Okay. Right there. That's the cook.

Hey.

How you doing?

Uh, yeah, Not so good.

Where is he?

He's just Right up there.

You can see his feet Dangling down

Over the grill.

That's his feet.

Thank you.

That's his feet.

There's his shoe.

Looks like he Dropped his shoe.

That's his shoe. He dropped one.

Uh, no, no, actually, I took that off

To see, uh...

You know, Tickle his foot,

See if he was alive, But he was cold.

You tickled his foot?

Yeah.

He tickled his foot.

Well, that tells me He's either dead,

Or else he's just Not that ticklish.

Okay,

I think he got stuck there Climbing down.

Uh, maybe,

But there's some food Missing from the kitchen.

Say what?

There's food missing.

Yeah, There's a package of steaks

Missing from the freezer.

Oh, okay, so maybe He got stuck

Climbing back up again.

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, is there A roof access?

Oh, yeah. Uh, yes.

Just out the back, Up the stairs.

You're going to need A ladder, though.

You're going to Need a ladder.

I got that.

Maybe get me A ladder.

We're going to Need a ladder.

Oh...

[ car door slams ]

Hello.

Your name clayton hurley?

That would be me.

Williams And shannon,

Vancouver homicide.

What can I Do for you?

Well, we had a little Incident this morning

Involving a man

By the name Of farris dunlap.

What about him?

He's been accused Of a homicide,

Something to do With a guy named roger quinn.

I remember roger.

He was an informant of mine,

But this is going Way back a ways.

You wouldn't happen to remember Any of the circumstances,

Would you?

I sure do.

Roger was a good fink.

He was a real help Taking down the scum.

Did you use him

In the case Against farris dunlap?

I was going to, But he disappeared.

What about roger's brother, Wendell quinn?

Are you aware Of his accusations?

I remember wendell.

He always figured

Farris had his Brother killed, sure.

Were there any charges

Brought Against farris?

We never found a body.

To tell the truth, I never felt

Farris had the jam To kill anybody.

Well, wendell said That you agreed with him,

That you thought

That farris might Have had roger killed.

No.

That's not right.

I might have told wendell It was possible,

But I never said I thought farris did it.

What about A missing finger?

You remember hearing anything

About a missing finger Belonging to roger?

Finger?

No. What's that about?

Sorry, rose.

Who belongs to that?

Wendell says that that Belongs to his brother, roger,

And that he got it in the mail From farris,

As a warning.

Well, that's one for the books.

You don't remember

Wendell bringing you the finger,

And you telling him that it was Only a finger.

You needed the body In order for homicide

To get involved?

I think I would remember a man Getting a finger in the mail.

Sue called.

She got something Set up for us.

Wow. She works fast.

Yeah.

I hope we're doing The right thing.

Oh, yeah.

She can handle herself.

I'm having second thoughts, You know?

Putting her on the line Like this.

She puts herself out there Every day.

You're not responsible For her being on the street.

No, but I'm pushing her To get close to brian again

And he's already killed One of his snitches.

I just feel Like we're setting her up.

Well,

We'll keep a good watch on her.

Right?

Right.

You know what I think Happened here?

I think this guy broke in And he got stuck.

Now, you've got To figure out a way

To get this idiot out of there.

It's just That simple.

No?

You don't want to call homicide?

Call homicide? With what?

What do you think?

Somebody killed him And dropped him down there?

You haven't even Checked out the body first.

Who knows?

Well, tell you what.

Why don't you call homicide

And you lay out that theory For them?

Maybe we should Look at him first.

Maybe.

See what's what.

All you've got to do

Is figure out a way To get a rope around this idiot

And pull him on out of there.

Just let gravity Do the work.

Let gravity do the work.

What's his name, this guy?

Rick...

Prentis, I think.

Yeah, prentis.

So what's he look like?

How are we going to know him?

That's his car right there,

The black 'vette.

He figures it's hot, right?

Never pulls out Without laying some rubber.

I mean, It's a nice car,

But I've been In hotter cars than that.

I figure brian Gets his coke

Off this guy.

I was in the bar. They went to the can together.

So what's the rest of the story On this guy?

He's a wannabe pimp.

He's got one or two girls Working for him,

Deals mostly coke,

Sometimes weed If it's, like, really good bud.

Likes to lay some on the girls,

So he feels popular, Right?

Right,

And what's his relationship With brian?

Is it just business, or what?

They do coke together.

I think he's scared of brian,

Which kind of Figures, right?

What do you mean?

Everybody's scared of brian. I mean, he's a cop.

You never know What he's going to do.

You afraid of him?

Sure.

Hey, I'm not stupid,

But I know How to make him laugh,

Like when I stole his badge.

You just don't want To be around him

When he gets down.

There's rick now.

[ tires screech ]

Maybe we should run his plates.

Yeah, let's run them.

27-bravo.

27-bravo.

Run a 10-29 on some plates.

Echo-yankee-papa

3-6-4.

[ dispatch ]: 27-bravo,

That's echo- Yankee-papa, 3-6-4?

[ leary ]: copy.

I read there Used to be

A huge market for Mummified remains.

Carnivals would have These sideshows.

They traveled all Around the country

With different mummies That you'd pay to see.

I think they Mummified them

With arsenic.

Yeah, I saw one once When I was a kid

In the carnival.

It was in a trailer In the parking lot.

The amazing petrified man.

You saw one?

Yeah, and then A few years back,

There was this Little museum

In niagara falls.

They had a mummy, A little one,

And then they put it On the market,

This guy buys it And it turns out

The mummy was some Ancient egyptian pharaoh

Worth a load Of money.

That's just too weird.

Yeah.

They used to mummify Their animals, too,

You know, put them In the tomb.

That cop was A taxidermist.

Yeah, that mountain goat Was giving me the eyeball.

They say that's the sign Of a good taxidermist,

When the eyes follow you.

Really? I never heard that.

Oh, yeah.

Right after I saw The amazing petrified man,

I sent away for this book, "How to be a taxidermist."

I didn't want to kill anything.

I just wanted to preserve it,

So I just worked On small roadkill.

You know, gophers And squirrels.

Things that weren't Too squashed up.

Leo, you're creeping me out.

You know What I think?

I think those Stolen steaks

Had nothing To do with this.

Well, then, where did they go?

I don't know.

Why don't you Tell me?

What?

What are you saying?

Are you accusing me Of stealing the steaks

And then making it up That they're gone?

Why would you Think that?

Hey, man,

I work for a living, okay?

I don't need to steal steaks.

You may not need To steal steaks,

But you may want To steal steaks.

That's a big difference.

Carmine.

Steaks. What kind of steaks?

Frozen steaks, Like how they come.

Carmine. Carmine.

I'm just grilling this guy.

The missing steaks are Definitely a problem.

Forget about that.

Body pickup's here.

I want you to help them Get that body down.

That's it. Okay.

So, clayton hurley Does not have the reputation

As a pleasant

Law enforcement Individual.

What's that mean?

I mean, How bad are we talking here?

Uh, well, let's say

About two dozen violations.

Harassment, assaults, Most of them on junkies.

Clayton really Didn't like junkies.

Well, that's not Unheard of.

That's old school.

Come down hard on the dopers.

It still is In some quarters.

Are you making A confession here, leo?

No, I'm not that kind of guy.

What, no skeletons,

Or not the kind of person To confess?

We all got skeletons,

But some of us have A beautifully clear conscience.

I've been thinking About the symbolism, you know.

It's the finger of an informant.

What do you think About that?

He fingers somebody For something.

Cut off his finger.

So that's the symbolism, You think?

Guy fingers somebody, They cut off his finger?

Well, yeah, that makes sense.

And clayton said He would've remembered

The bit about the finger In the mail

Had wendell Really told him about it,

But why would wendell quinn Make that up?

Yeah, who do You believe?

That's always the question.

Well, that old cop Really gave me the creeps.

Maybe it was All those stuffed animals.

Hard to tell.

Well, if you want To know something about a guy,

You ask his old partner,

'cause a partner comes to know Everything about you

Sooner or later.

This reminds me of... What's that fairy tale?

What fairy tale You talking about?

The one about The three little pigs.

Three little pigs.

That's a nursery rhyme.

Three little pigs.

Not a fairy tale. Big difference.

Whatever.

It's the one Where the wolf

Comes down The chimney.

The wolf comes down the chimney.

Yeah.

I don't know that version.

Yeah, And he gets stuck,

Like this guy, In the chimney.

I never heard That version.

Where you from, anyway?

Right here.

This is my hometown.

Before that.

Well, okay.

Got some I.D., I hope.

Yes, we do.

Theodore winters.

This guy's living Right next door.

He lives next door.

Why don't you Go next door

And see if anybody Over there knows him.

Theodore winters. Apartment 23?

Theodore. Okay.

Theodore from next door.

What are you breaking In the kitchen for?

So,

What are you Thinking happened?

I don't know.

I'm thinking maybe heart attack

When he got Stuck in the chimney, there.

Boy, that's an ugly way to go.

Yeah.

Check this out. Is this him?

You know this guy?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, that's teddy.

He's a regular... Or he was a regular.

He lives right Next door, actually.

Right.

Son of a bitch. Teddy.

What the hell Was he doing

Coming down My stovepipe?

Can I get you some coffee?

No, no.

After 30 years, I'm all coffeed out.

Too much coffee on the job.

I can't even get A cup down anymore.

I think we have some tea.

No, no, I'm good.

So what's up?

You were asking About clayton.

I haven't talked to him For years.

We're just, uh...

We're looking for a read on him

For a cold case We're looking into.

We hear he was A bit of a rough customer.

We worked drugs together Up until '91.

I was clayton's first partner,

And yeah, he was hardcore, But no worse than anybody else.

Hell, we all were.

Different now.

So nothing out of the ordinary?

Citizens' complaints?

The odd complaint, maybe.

Everybody gets complaints,

But no, clayton was a good cop.

We made A lot of solid busts together.

You remember a guy Named farris dunlap?

Dunlap...

Farris. Yeah, I do.

And what about A roger quinn?

The informant.

He didn't turn up, did he?

Not entirely.

These two, farris and roger...

What was their relationship?

As I remember it, Relationship was

Farris let it out That roger was a fink,

Which he was,

And poof,

That's the last anybody saw Of roger quinn.

Totally screwed up our case Against farris.

So you think farris Made roger disappear?

That's the way We read it.

You know, Maybe I will have some coffee.

Just sitting here, I can almost taste it.

Who's he waiting for?

Okay,

Here we go.

There he is.

Right on time. What's going on?

Right on time. You saying I'm Normally late?

No, I mean--

You saying I'm Normally late?

Geez, man, Take it easy.

Take it easy, my butt. You got the stuff?

Yeah, I got the stuff.

Imagine how bad It's going to be

If you don't have it.

Here we go.

You buy Off this rick guy before?

No, just brian, But rick knows me.

We smoked a number A couple of times.

Here you go.

So what's the story, then?

Just be yourself, okay?

Tell him you were Working in the neighborhood,

And you dropped by for a flap.

Okay?

Keep it light.

You okay with this?

You going to be all right?

Sure.

What's to worry?

He's not going to kill me In front of rick, is he?

Rick?

Yeah.

Hey, it's sue--

What the hell you doing here?

I just saw you go in. Buzz me up.

[ brian ]: What do you want?

You know.

You solo?

Yeah, yeah. Let me in.

All right. Get up here.

[ door buzzes ]

Any fresh body parts Dropping through the mail slot?

No, but I spotted wendell In the alley.

He drove back and forth A couple of times.

He's still Waiting for his chance.

We told him

To keep away from you.

Well, thanks, but guess what? It's not working.

Well, guess what?

Your story's

Not checking out too well, Either, farris.

Everyone's telling us That you knew roger quinn.

So I knew him, But not well.

I might have Met him once,

Maybe twice, at the most.

I only said that I never met him

Hoping to see Some action on this.

It's been going on too long.

And don't tell us you don't know What the finger means, either.

What do you mean?

We heard you put out Roger was a snitch,

Fingering everybody, So to speak,

And then one day, he evaporates,

And his brother Gets a finger in the mail.

Yeah, we don't feel you're being As forthright with us

As you could be.

Okay, so I spread that around, But because it was the truth.

Well, so maybe you did kill him. Is that where you're taking us?

No way, I'm telling you, It wasn't me.

Now you're starting To sound like wendell.

Yeah, well,

Maybe that's because You're so sloppy with the truth.

It doesn't exactly inspire Confidence, now, does it?

All right, look,

I'm sorry about that, But it wasn't me.

I mean, that's what This whole thing is about.

It wasn't me.

If it was me,

Do you think I'd Bring you into it?

Okay, let's say It wasn't you, farris.

Who does that leave us?

Roger?

Roger cut off his own finger,

Put it in the mail To his brother

And then moved to south america?

It was the cop, clayton hurley.

He did him in.

I can't prove it, But he did him.

I know it.

Why do you think that?

Roger was trying To save his own neck,

And he thought he could Get protection from the cops

If he offered them clayton.

Really. How is that?

Because roger had

All sorts of dirt on clayton.

Everybody used to call clayton Inspector flora,

On account of all the heroin That he'd plant.

So clayton hurley was afraid

Of his own junkie snitch Taking him down,

So afraid That he'd get rid of him?

Well, he was no good As an informant anymore,

And it was nothing to clayton.

He was just another snitch.

Hey, rose.

I took a look at that finger.

It's a nice, clean cut.

Someone took real care In cutting it off,

And it definitely Came off post-mortem.

So there's a dead guy Missing a finger somewhere?

Yeah, and from what I can tell,

Some chemical was used To dry it out,

And then a once-over With a bit of lacquer

To give it shine.

Thanks, chick.

Okay.

How long has she been in there?

A little over an hour.

All right, five more minutes And I'm pulling the fire alarm.

Don't start Second-guessing yourself now.

She's used To living dangerously.

Don't worry about it.

There she is now...

And she's high.

Hey. How'd it go?

Okay, but I only got a half.

Whoo. I'm buzzed.

We did some.

Who sold it to you? Rick or brian?

Rick gave me the dope, But brian took the money.

They were In the middle of a deal

When I came in.

Can I have that, Or do you need to keep it?

We need to keep it.

Let's go.

I thought I would just Open up his apartment,

See what's going on.

Take a look.

What?

Right there.

Son of a bitch.

This is all my stuff.

You recognize All this stuff,

All this food?

You recognize this food?

Yeah, yeah.

These are my brands.

These are all My brands.

I mean, I've been missing stuff,

But I just thought I was losing my mind.

Well, maybe you're not.

Maybe I'm not.

Son of a bitch.

Looks like he's been Stocking up.

He's been stocking up.

Yeah.

No, he's paranoid.

He was always worried

About, like, The end of the world,

Like that, you know what I mean?

Like a survivalist.

Survivalist.

Yeah, a paranoid.

Look, he's got Five of everything.

Five toothbrushes, Five bars of soap...

Five of everything.

Five.

Yes.

Uh-oh.

This your meat?

Yeah, that is my meat.

Yeah, that...

This is all my meat.

Okay, I'll leave You guys to it.

There's the mystery Of the missing steaks

Now solved.

Thank you.

Got enough to charge farris?

Doesn't look like it,

Not without a body.

What do you got inside this one?

That's a mold.

R the bigger ones, You've got to create a skeleton.

Farris had All sorts of ideas

About what happened To roger.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

He seems to think You had something to do with it.

Good old farris.

Always could spin a tale,

Particularly if it Took the spotlight off him.

What did you Treat these feathers with?

They're really nice and shiny.

It's just regular shampoo.

Any reason You can think of

Why farris Would say that?

Because farris is a junkie fink.

So was roger.

Okay.

Just thought We'd give you a chance

To shoot that down.

There's no body.

I don't understand why all this Is coming up again.

Well, if and when It does turn up,

We'll be looking into it Pretty closely.

If and when You find the rest of roger,

I'll be delighted to answer All your questions.

Until then, I guess I'm not worried.

You'll excuse me If I have better things to do.

He did it, all right.

He's got roger buried so deep, He's not worried a bit.

He's going to skate On this, leo.

Maybe...

Maybe not.

Taking a trip?

Yeah. Going fishing.

Got to get away.

You always take Your vacuum cleaner fishing?

That's for cleaning up The cabin.

I might be there For a while.

Nice dog. Where'd you get him?

The pound.

They've got A no-kill policy now.

You can pretty well Take your pick of dogs.

I almost got two.

Yeah, that's how I got lucky.

Where you Going fishing?

I'd rather not say, exactly.

No offense.

Things get out.

Well, we're thinking There might be something

To your story on clayton hurley.

Oh, yeah? So what's going to happen?

Well, we're pretty much At a standstill

Without roger's body.

Gee, why am I not surprised?

Well, if wendell's Chasing you out of town,

He may be letting up.

Oh, yeah? You don't know wendell.

Oh, I think I got his number.

We kind of let him know That maybe clayton was the guy

He should have been chasing All these years.

Oh, yeah?

Did he believe you?

Well, he seemed pretty convinced To me.

"Revenge is mine, Sayeth the lord."

No --.

Well, that would Definitely be a nice change.

Either way, I'm going fishing.

Nice dog.

Did you ever get A chance to look

At that material On darcy charlie?

Yes, I did.

You're holding That one together

With very little Evidence.

Well, I know I'm Optimistic there, but--

But so far, No witnesses

To the beatings Have turned up,

Correct?

Well, no,

But I am working on it, And I expect to find something.

And there's No forensic evidence, either,

Right?

No.

I think you really Have to ask yourself

If this is a case You want to pursue.

You know I'm thinking Of running for the police job.

Yes, yes.

I ran into phil rosen.

He suggested I try And talk some sense into you...

Oh?

Although,

Why he thought I could do that,

I have no idea.

I think it's the right Thing to do, in my gut.

Well, if it's a course You feel you need to pursue,

Then by all means, go for it.

You've got my support.

Well, thanks.

You should know, Though,

It's a thankless job.

Well, you know, If I take a drubbing...

I think I got some ideas, Some good ideas,

And if that makes me a target, I don't really care.

So be it.

Well, what you need, dominic, Is a strategy,

And making a mountain Out of this darcy charlie thing

Is a bad one.

Really?

Okay, well, I'll remember you said that.

You realize, Of course,

I'll have to find Someone to replace you.

Yeah, down the road, right?

I mean, if and when I get this other job.

Oh, yes, sure, yes,

So if you think Of any candidates,

Let me know.

Okay.

You're pretty quiet.

I can just hear The wheels

Spinning away.

Yeah, I was thinking about sue,

You know, about what she said

About brian Setting up the councilor.

What do you think?

I don't think it's a setch To believe he did it.

It's in his character.

He's got access to dope.

He's known to rip off dealers,

Right?

How did he get connected up To the councilman, though?

Where did that come from?

Well, I heard The councilman

Has this live-in Girlfriend,

Brenda or something, And if she's hooked up to brian,

Through her old boyfriend, Rick...

Da vinci knows the councilman, Doesn't he?

Yep.

Hey, maybe we can Talk to dominic,

See if he can get To the councilman.

Yeah.

So maybe sue's

Being straight With us on this.

I hope so.

Worried about her?

Yeah.

Well, we're using her now.

We're committed to it.

I know.
