He straightens out The whole situation.

Not that big a deal.

See that little Hole up there?

Yeah.

That's A squirrel's nest,

And all These squirrels?

They're all Of english descent.

They shipped them All in here

From england.

That's why all The animals here

Look at you funny.

They ain't got no idea

Where they are.

Yeah, everything's All messed up,

I'll tell you.

I was getting ready To open him up

But I noticed Something interesting

On the x-ray.

You did? What is it?

Hold on. I'll show you.

There it is.

Here we go.

Geez.

Razor blade.

Did he try To swallow that?

I won't know One way orhe other

Before I take a look inside.

Can you pass me...

Thank you.

Maybe somebody fed it to him.

Yeah, well,

Either way,

It absolutely shredded His trachea.

He was bleeding out Into himself.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Hi. You told the officer

You had some kind Of an altercation?

Yeah.

There were these guys, Guys in their 20s,

And they were outside Drinking at the point.

How many of them Were there?

There was two, And a girl.

She was driving.

They were in an suv-type thing.

Okay, so what Happened?

Well, I was out having a smoke

And they started yelling at me, Just being drunk and stupid.

What kind of stuff Were they yelling?

Called me a fag, Trying to make me react.

Yeah? So what Did you do?

Well, I was ignoring them,

And then they flicked A cigarette butt at me.

They flicked A cigarette butt at you?

Were they Close to you?

No, they were kind of far off, But they almost hit me,

So I threw a rock at them.

You threw a rock?

Yeah.

It hit their car.

I didn't mean to. I was just reacting.

Okay, so you threw a rock, And then what did they do?

Well, they were Pretty teed off,

So I locked myself In the restaurant

And called the cops.

Well, you know, You could have

Just done that In the first place.

But I didn't,

So then the cop shows up And he does nothing.

He talks to them For, like, two minutes

And lets them go.

He let them go?

Yeah, just sent them home.

Did you get the name Of the officer?

No, I didn't.

Okay, well, Hang out for a minute.

We might want to ask you Some more questions.

Sure.

Um, you know,

Those guys were Really teed off

And they were Looking for a fight

And I doubt They went home

Like that cop Told them.

Okay. Just sit tight.

Okay.

Well, there should be A record of that call.

They can track down That officer.

Your guy from the bus,

I had a look at that.

What's his record Look like?

The guy's got a file Going back to '89.

He's a pickpocket.

His name's Valery titov.

Valery likes To work the buses,

Canucks games, Crowded places.

He's from the ukraine, I think.

Yeah? He work Alone, usually?

No, he always works With a partner,

Someone To pass off to.

He's on record too.

His name's Alexi zutroy.

Got an address On the partner?

Yeah, It's a year old,

But it still Might be good.

What happened To valery?

We found him On a double-decker bus,

One of those tourist buses,

And from what we know, He got punched in the face

A couple times.

Riding the double-decker. Sounds like he was working.

He died from the punch?

Not sure yet,

But he had a razor blade Stuck in his throat.

A razor blade?

Yeah.

Well, that Makes sense,

Because that's an old Pickpocket trick.

They use the blade

To cut purse straps, Necklaces,

That kind of thing.

You keep it tucked up In the roof of your mouth,

Like a retainer,

Spit it out

Once you get pressed Up against the mark.

Might've been an accident, then.

The guy punched him

Not knowing he had The razor in his mouth.

Yeah, yeah, He's not expecting it,

Gets cracked in the head Out of nowhere,

Gulps the razor blade.

Kind of too late at that point. Nothing he can do.

If valery was Working the bus

When he died,

His partner Wouldn't have been far off.

Unless his partner's The guy who punched him.

Yeah.

Pickpocket fallout, maybe.

Now, the blood On the rocks below

Is just seepage,

What you'd expect to find

From him bleeding out Down there,

But these drops up here,

They lead across the path Along here.

This is where

They start Getting more concentrated.

A lot of spatter All over the grass right here.

This is maybe where The beating took place.

Yeah, plus We found these.

Three of his teeth.

Top incisors And one of his grinders.

So the blood starts here

And goes on down there To the body?

Yeah.

That's what we're seeing so far.

Okay. Thanks, chick.

No problem.

Hey, there's Our uniform

From last night.

He showed up.

Is he coming down here or what?

Guess he's waiting For us to come to him.

Hey.

You guys homicide?

Yeah, I'm shannon, This is williams.

You took the call last night At prospect point?

Yeah.

I heard there was a gay bashing. Is that what's happening here?

You want to step Out of the car

So we can talk To you properly?

Sure.

So what happened There at the point?

Nothing much.

There was a group of kids.

They got pretty sauced up.

They got into an argument

With the guy Who works at the restaurant.

We understand That they were

Verbally assaulting him,

Threatening him With homophobic comments.

That's what he claimed, yeah.

But you didn't Believe him?

No, I believed him, But he also assaulted them.

But you let The drunk guys go.

Yeah, I did.

I sent them home.

Maybe they Could have used

A night in the tank.

I defused The situation.

The driver was sober,

I poured out What booze they had left,

Told them to call it a night,

So that's what they did.

Well, we can't Be sure of that.

Sorry, you think those guys

Had something to do With this down here?

Is that what you're driving at?

We're trying to figure that out.

Because it was good procedure. I didn't do anything wrong.

We're going to need the names, License plate, everything.

Okay.

I just got it In my notes right here.

Let me check.

Okay.

You know this guy Who lives here?

Yeah, he's A russian,

And he's a month Late on rent.

When's the last time You saw him?

A month ago. Coming in.

When you're done, I'll lock it back up.

Thank you.

You want to come back With a warrant?

No.

Let's wait around, See if he shows up.

Make sure he's Not still here.

Maybe he uses this guy To practice on.

Yeah, look at this.

Good practice For the fingers.

Hmm.

You got to wonder

How many pickpockets There are out there,

Working the crowd,

Rubbing Up against you.

I heard in some countries,

They throw cockroaches All over you.

You're scrambling To scrape them off

And they Strip you clean

While you're panicked.

Mick.

It's hot?

All right, show me your hands. Both of them, right now.

Both of them.

Okay, Come out of here.

Nice and slow. No fast moves.

Come on. Watch your head,

Right down. Stay on your belly.

Don't move. Don't move.

Mayor says you're happy With the injection site.

It's going to take Some work, though.

I suppose you heard.

A couple Of new candidates

Put their names forward For chief of police.

No, I didn't Hear that.

It's nobody you need To worry about.

An rcmp inspector

And a chief

From somewhere In the interior.

A chief?

Yeah.

No threat there?

No.

No threat.

No.

You should still be focused On lenny banks.

Lenny banks.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Apparently banks

Has already managed To nail down one

Of the members Of the police board.

He has?

Who? How'd he Manage that?

Simon cox, the lawyer.

What?

Apparently, you hit on his wife A few years ago

At the policeman's ball.

She hit on me And then lied on it.

Yeah, that's a good answer.

Uh, you got a little something On your...

Where?

Yeah.

You need To be prepared

For when he pulls out the knives In public.

Tell you the truth,

I'm not that worried About lenny banks, okay?

Why's that?

Because I got A spear for him.

I'm just not using it yet.

I'm saving it.

What is it?

Well, banks enjoys a drink, I know I've heard that.

No, no.

If I got to get this job By ruining a guy's whole life,

Then I don't want the job.

Does it have to do With the drink?

No, it doesn't.

It has nothing to do With his personal life,

Nothing to do With that at all, okay?

You just forget I mentioned Anything there, okay?

I'm not doing that to anybody.

When's the last time You saw valery?

I don't know who You're talking about.

You don't know a man Named valery titov?

No.

All those times you Got arrested together,

You never bothered To introduce yourself?

No.

Okay, so I guess

You're not going to be Overly concerned, then,

When I tell you That, uh...

We're investigating His murder.

What?

Yeah.

Valery was found dead This morning

On a double-decker bus Outside the station.

I haven't done Anything.

So if we search This place,

We're not going to Turn up your stash?

Valery was killed?

Yeah, it's looking that way.

I was with him Yesterday.

We were working The cruise ships,

Near the pier.

We were being followed.

A man was following us.

Who? What man?

Valery snipped a necklace Off an old lady last week.

The guy who was following us

Was with the old lady When he stole it.

So where did valery go?

He got on the double-decker. I took a taxi.

Still in suspense On the tox,

But it's A pretty clear o.D.

She was already dead Some time

Before the garbage truck Pinned her.

Her lividity was Completely upside-down.

Well, at least She never knew what hit her,

Let's say that much.

He left his number

In case You don't have it.

Yeah, that's the guy.

I'll talk to him, yeah.

And these I'll just...

Gone.

Throw away.

Is there any Way of telling

Where that came from?

Not usually, no,

But this one, This is a unique one.

Unique?

How so? What do you mean?

Well, right away I can tell This is synthetic diamond.

So that's fake?

Well, it's not fake, Really.

It's just man-made,

But that's not what's unusual, Though.

See, There's an engraving here...

A serial number By the manufacturer.

This diamond

Is made by a company Called "Life jewels."

You heard of them?

No. Sorry, no.

They make diamonds Out of human remains.

Excuse me?

Did you say Human remains?

Yeah.

Instead of burial or cremation,

You turn your loved ones Into diamonds.

So how does that work?

Well, people are carbon, right? So are diamonds.

Okay.

So you're holding Onto a person, there.

Yeah, well,

Part of one, at least.

I guess it's something To remember them by.

So this company Might be able to tell us

Who the owner is.

You got a number for them?

I got a phone book You could try.

Yeah, that'll work.

Mr. Da vinci.

Oh, hey, josh. Come on in.

Thanks.

Grab a seat here.

Nice digs You got here.

Hey, thanks. Yeah, it works.

Yeah?

How about The chief of police office?

You know, it's a hole Compared to this.

I understand.

Is there, like, A cubicle in the basement

Set aside for that job?

No, that would be My office

You're thinking of.

You have an office At "The post?"

I do.

I have a cardboard box And a lamp.

That seems Appropriate to me.

Yeah,

And there goes

My last shred Of dignity.

Yeah, gone with the wind.

So...

What can you tell me

About the stanley park Situation?

Well, to be honest with you, Josh,

You probably know A lot more about that

Than I do at this point.

Well, let's just Get the facts down.

Okay.

Robert william camden,

C-a-m-d-e-n,

26 years old.

We found him down at the beach,

Severe trauma to the head

And to the body.

He was the victim Of a beating, yes?

Looks that way.

He was gay, Robert camden?

I don't know about that.

Where was he found, exactly?

Well, you were right there.

Second beach, Just west of second beach,

On the water.

Near lee's trail.

In the vicinity Of lee's trail.

That's right.

Also several other trails, As I understand things.

That's awfully Careful of you.

Well, like I said, josh,

You know, I don't really know That much about it anymore.

If you want specifics, You have to go to the police.

Okay.

Do you want to know What I found out?

Do I? Okay.

The cops dealt with a situation

With another gay individual Earlier that night

And let the suspects go.

Okay, well, That's what you heard.

And then They questioned

This particular officer.

Well, you see, Now, right there,

You're one step ahead of me.

So you don't know the name Of this particular officer?

I don't, sorry.

Okay.

Would you say the police Did everything in their power

To prevent this From happening?

I would say

That the police Are in no way to blame

For the death of mr. Camden.

Come on. That's not exactly what I asked.

I know.

Okay, in general, I would say That the police response

To incidents of violence Within the gay community

And other issues involving The homosexual community

Could stand some improvement...

In general.

What would you suggest?

What would I suggest? Oh, well, I would do a study.

I would get A comprehensive report prepared

On those deaths Within the homosexual community

Going back, say, The last 10 years,

Maybe even more,

And, you know, examine

What the police responses were To that.

Hmm.

What are your hopes with that?

Well, it's obvious.

I mean, you'd have An open dialogue

Between the two sides.

You'd have the gay community On the one side

And the police On the other side,

And out of that

Would come some Recommendations

In terms of protocol.

Now, right away, Those recommendations

Start filling in holes In the system,

But more importantly,

They would serve as a tool

For all the younger Guys coming in

And also For those officers

Dealing with the gay community In the more sensitive areas.

That's what I would think.

The protocols,

This is something You're working on?

This is my plan On working on, yeah.

Would that be As chief of police?

That would be as coroner.

[ knocking ]

Mrs. Sturges?

Yes.
