On this thing.

Yeah, no shock there.

This guy's late. What time is it?

I don't know. It's, uh...

I missed a call here.

Here's kenny.

So how's it looking?

It's looking good.

Our friend rick Came to me,

Looking to buy Six ounces.

Fast is good,

Because this Rick guy's mind

Doesn't work At that speed.

So, he mention brian?

Not by name,

But he said he was Acting as a middleman

For somebody.

I'm going to push For an intro

Soon as the timing's right.

Yeah?

So what's your Next move, then?

What do you Want to do now?

Well, once I get my hands

On the coke And the wire,

It's just a matter Of setting up a time and place.

We're still waiting

For the part six To go through.

This thing's In motion now.

I can't just Slow it down.

I know. It's coming. It's coming, all right?

The wire's in the works, okay?

We'll talk to kurtz

About getting six ounces for you Out of the lockup.

I never saw much of glenn Anyway,

But it's been a week at least, Around that.

He kept mostly To himself?

Oh, no.

He drove over to see his wife Almost every day.

Lucy. She's sick.

She's been in a care facility

As long as glenn's Been living here.

He drove,

Even with those Crutches, did he?

Oh, yeah. A big cadillac.

They took His license away

Because Of the arthritis,

But glenn, He drove anyway.

He was living By himself?

Uh-huh.

This is it here.

Thank you.

Did mr. Bardsley

Ever have any visitors That you remember?

You ever see him With anybody?

Not that I saw.

He was pretty quiet, Like everybody here,

Only ever saw him Coming and going

On his own.

This his daughter here?

Yeah.

He mentioned a daughter.

I never met her, though.

He said she lives out of town.

He's got a lot Of videos here.

What are those?

I don't know. Old movies.

Probably he's been Taping them off the tv.

I do that sometimes.

Yeah? You've got to watch The commercials

All the way Through, then.

Yeah, or you have to cut them Out yourself as you go.

Yeah, if you've Got a remote.

Look at this.

Stack of hundreds.

Must be six, Seven thousand here.

Well, glenn paid his rent In cash every month.

He never gave me a check.

Why'd he do that? Do you know?

Said he doesn't like checks, Doesn't trust credit cards.

Just carried Plenty of cash.

Just simpler that Way, I guess.

Yeah, sure.

You go to the bank once a week, Take out what you need,

Then if you run out, You run out.

You've got Nothing to worry about.

What'd he do for a living?

He and his wife

Used to own A chain of nurseries.

Gardening supplies, You know.

They sold off The company

To retire.

You happen To have an address

For the home

Where mr. Bardsley's Wife is staying?

Yeah, it's Over on 41st.

I can look it up For you.

That'd be great. Thanks.

Anything you like?

I don't know.

You can't really read This guy's writing.

It's all like Chicken scratches.

So that's

The real estate agent There?

He was trying To sell this house?

Yeah.

His picture's On the sign

In front of the house.

What are you thinking?

Well, you tell me.

Okay. This man's about...

Well, he's not quite as tall As I am, I don't think.

Okay?

Careful.

Oh, thanks. See?

Barely touching The pipe.

Yeah, that's Going to be tricky

For him to do On his own there.

Tricky? I think It's impossible.

If I'm going to Kill myself like this,

I'm going To make damn sure

I've got something The right height.

A table, chair, or something.

Except the place is empty.

There's nothing else Really around,

Except the suitcase.

Take a look at this.

He's got some skin Or something

Under his nails here.

Oh, yeah.

I'm getting blood Under this one over here.

There's quite a bit Of blood under there.

Scratching at somebody.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, we should Get forensics involved,

I guess,

And they can find out

Where that might Have come from.

Could've been Scratching himself,

For all we know.

So you thinking This guy was living here?

Like squatting here?

I don't know.

You got the bed Set up there,

There's the bathroom.

It's full Of toiletries.

He's got Sleeping pills.

Yeah. We don't know That's his, though.

Could be anybody Squatting here.

And, what, this guy here, The real estate agent,

Barged in On someone else's squat?

See, that's a possibility too.

Okay, well,

I don't want to draw Any conclusions

Before we do An autopsy,

But something about this Isn't sitting right.

Well, in the meantime, We can have a look.

We might be able To rule it out

As a homicide.

You never know.

Hey.

You look rough.

You feeling all right?

Yeah, I just need to coffee up.

Clear out the cobwebs.

So, we going to talk About this kenny bell thing?

I thought we already Talked about it.

Yeah, well, Maybe I missed something,

'cause I'm a little Vague on the details.

Sure. Just ask away.

What do you want to know?

First of all,

Where's the money coming from From this deal?

He's going to want To see the money first.

Don't sweat the details, okay?

That part of it's covered.

Yeah, that's what You keep telling me.

You never want A plan too tight.

You know, you want To stay flexible,

Stay loose.

Stay loose.

Yeah.

What happened To your other shoes,

The ones with the heels on them?

What, the boots?

Yeah. I liked those.

What happened To those?

I'm not wearing them today.

Oh.

You should. I prefer the boots.

I'm thinking maybe Brandy with that coffee.

You know, If we're going to start

Criticizing Personal appearances,

Maybe you should, uh...

Think about A haircut.

I'm just saying I like the boots, okay?

That's all I'm saying.

Ah.

Debra.

She passed away last month.

You were the coroner On call.

Moyer. Debra moyer.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

So what can I do for you?

Well, my family is going To have debra's body exhumed,

And we need you to sign The note for disinterment.

Take a seat. I insist.

Take a seat.

Can I ask you

Why you want To do this?

Why do you want

To exhume Your sister's body?

To be honest,

We're not satisfied With your findings.

Okay. Of course, That's entirely your decision.

If you want To go ahead and do that,

I will sign those Disinterment papers for you.

That's not a problem,

But can I ask you what it is About the investigation

That you And your family

Feel unsatisfied with?

Do you remember My sister's case?

Off the top of my head, sir, I'm afraid I don't.

The officer,

The officer that was there With you and debra...

Officer?

He came and talked To me and my parents.

He was concerned with how You handled the situation

And he thought we deserved To know about it.

He thought that, did he?

He said that you Refused the autopsy.

It was low priority, According to you.

No.

He said that you took the needle Out of her arm,

And told him to throw it In the garbage.

He did?

What's this officer's name?

I'd rather not say.

It's in the file. I can look at the file.

You can check it Yourself, then.

Look, his name's Beside the point.

Sir, I just want to assure you

That I did Everything in my power

To try and figure out What happened to your sister.

Unfortunately,

Unless there is Some reason

To suspect otherwise,

We can't afford to do an autopsy On every overdose that occurs

In the city Of vancouver anymore.

Can't afford it.

Yeah, well, my parents Have already arranged

To pay for the autopsy.

Really? Okay.

Okay, then. You sit right there.

I'll get this paperwork for you, Okay?

What about debra's Toxicology?

Did you run any tests?

Yeah. We do a blood test.

Those are standard In overdoses.

Well, I'd like to see That result as well.

Not a problem.

How long had nick Been working here?

I don't know.

10 years, Or something like that.

He was here before I got here.

He got along

With everybody At the agency?

Yeah.

He was kind of a serious guy,

But nobody Disliked him.

What do you know About his living situation?

What do you mean?

I mean, we have reason to Believe

That he was living Out of one of the homes

He was supposed To be selling.

Yeah. I know about that.

He told you He was living there?

Well, he'd been trying To sell that house all summer,

Couple of months, At least.

Finally, one day I said, "Listen, nick,

Let me take a shot at it, Get it off your hands,"

But he said no way

And I insisted,

And eventually

He admitted the truth to me,

But I didn't Say anything about it.

He give you any reason Why he was staying there?

No, he was actually Kind of vague about it,

But I know He and his wife were separating.

Now, whether or not He left on his own

Or she kicked him out,

I don't know for sure.

This happened A couple of months ago.

All right,

And what about his wife?

You happen to know Where she's living?

No, I don't know.

She works at an art gallery, I know that.

Happen to know Which one?

Um, actually,

You know, nick has One of her postcards

In his cubicle Inside.

Mr. Bardsley visited Nearly every day.

All the nurses loved him.

He was kind of charming.

When was the last time You saw him?

Last thursday

Was the last time I saw him,

But I had friday off.

So it was unusual

For him to stop Visiting?

Not really.

His daughter Was in town,

So I just assumed

That he was spending Time with her.

She was here with him

The last time That he came.

How did he pass away?

I'm afraid

We're not allowed To discuss it.

Mr. Bardsley,

How did he get along With his daughter?

I think they Got along pretty well.

I mean, he talked About her a lot,

But actually,

The last time That they were here,

It looked like they were Having an argument.

You didn't happen to overhear What that was about, did you?

No, I couldn't tell,

But they left together,

And he wasn't Talking to her.

What was the daughter's Name again?

Uh, donna Was her name.

This is the room here.

I just assumed

That she was Having a hard time

Seeing her mother.

You can go ahead.

Don't expect much In the way of a response.

She opens her eyes Sometimes

And wriggles her hand Now and then,

But she's been Mostly unresponsive

Since the stroke.

When was that?

Just about a year now.

Can she hear us?

I like to think so.

Did you want To say something to her?

Uh, no.

I don't think That'll be necessary.

I'll let her know About mr. Bardsley.

I think it's better

That it comes from A familiar voice.

Right.

Thank you.

Sandra mcleod?

I go by my maiden name now.

Vancouver homicide.

What's this about?

I'm afraid We have some bad news.

Your husband, nick, Was found dead this morning.

Oh, my god.

Just...

Let me lock the door.

I don't think nick

Would've Killed himself.

He was too,

I don't know, Habitual.

Any reason You can think of

Why someone would want To harm nick?

No. No reason at all.

When's the last time You spoke to him?

I don't know. Months.

Were you aware

That he was living In an empty house,

One of the houses He was trying to sell?

No.

He told me He was living in a hotel.

If you don't Mind me asking,

What was the reason You two separated?

Oh, there was a lot of reasons.

It was a mutual Split, then?

Yeah, I'd say so.

This might sound silly at first,

But nick had A sleeping disorder.

He never admitted he did,

But he suffered From night terrors.

That's what They call them.

I looked it up

Because nick Refused to.

Night terrors? How do you mean?

What's that?

He'd wake up, Middle of the night,

Screaming.

Like the worst nightmare You ever had

Times a hundred.

He had them often,

Sometimes two Or three times a week.

He refused to see a specialist About it,

And eventually, We just separated.

Well, that couldn't have Been easy for you.

Well, like I said, There were a lot of reasons.

Helen...

Can I see you For a moment, please?

Sorry. I didn't see you standing there.

Debra moyer's parents

Have registered An official complaint.

Okay, I was kind of Expecting that.

I spoke with her brother Earlier today.

As a matter of fact, I'm going over her file now.

So, is there anything to this?

I don't know.

It sounds like a constable With an axe to grind

Or something.

Constable klochko.

I just got off the phone With him, actually.

Oh, you did?

How's he doing?

Well, he insists

That you were sarcastic, Dismissive,

And you conducted yourself In an unprofessional manner.

Okay, okay. You know what he thinks.

Now you want to know What I think?

No, because, dominic,

Frankly, I am tired Of hearing these adjectives used

In reference to you.

Well, this guy's got A personality problem,

Or he's got a problem with me.

It has nothing nothing to do With this woman, how she died.

This was an overdose.

This is pure and simple An overdose.

Found her In the shooting gallery

With the needle Still in her arm,

And yet constable klochko Is walking around,

He's winding up the whole family Over this,

And I don't know why.

Did I tee him off One particular night?

Fine. Then can I suggest That you resolve this issue

With constable klochko Directly?

Oh, that's a brilliant idea.

Thank you.

Okay. You're welcome.

Resolve it, dominic.

Don't bring along

Your usual can Of gasoline.

Ms. Bardsley,

You were at The care facility

With your father,

Visiting your mother.

Uh-huh. That's right.

We understand

That you had an argument With your father.

Yeah. Not really.

Well, what was it

You two Disagreed about?

It was nothing.

He was just upset

That I wasn't Visiting mom enough.

He believed she was Going to recover one day.

And that's the last time You saw him?

Uh-huh.

He gave me A few hundred dollars

And then Dropped me off.

[ cell phone ringing ]

Excuse me.

Yeah?

So, what was The money for?

Oh, it was just his thing.

He was always trying To get me to take his money.

No reason behind it? Just free money?

He was always just...

Generous.

You had to change cities

To get away From generosity like that.

Ah.

His kindness Came with a price tag, you mean.

That's right.

Well, I think We got a lead

On one of your party guests.

We found this.

Oh, yeah.

They left their Rollies behind.

Yeah, they also Forgot their stash.

It was thrown into the corner Of the fireplace over here,

And the guy wrapped it in this.

What is that?

Shawn finch, Social studies 10.

Trial of louis riel.

I remember doing that.

Yeah, me too.

This guy only got Four out of 10.

Okay, you got clipped.

Were you On your cell phone?

No, I wasn't on my cell phone,

Maybe the other guy Was on his cell phone.

Did you think Of that, zack?

Okay, I had a cup Of coffee, but--

The guy comes Out of nowhere,

Spins me around,

And then he just Takes off.

Oh, let me get your Door for you, there, sir.

There you go. Watch your belt, now.

Watch your belt. There you go.

Idiot.

That bardsley's car?

Yeah. Looks like it.

Yeah, that looks like His regular crutches

In the back there.

I remember him.

I remember him Because he left me a huge tip.

He left me 50 bucks On just a spanish omelet.

Was he alone?

He ate alone, But then a woman joined him,

And then they were talking Out in the parking lot,

Near her car.

What did she Look like?

Just plain, I guess.

She was in her 30s, maybe.

I don't remember.

What color Was her hair?

Brown? Blond?

I remember she had Funny white shoes on,

Like hospital shoes.

Like the nurses wear?

Exactly.

You know what I mean.

What about the car?

It was brown.

Um...

I don't know car types.

It was just a brown, normal car.

So, did you See her leave?

Yeah. He got in her car and they left.

Go ahead. Sit down.

Thanks.

So, what?

He withdrew His application?

As far as I know.

Why would he do Something like that?

Don't you know?

No. That's why I'm asking you.

The drunk driving thing, The cover-up.

The police board Heard about it,

So he withdrew His application

Rather than have them Look into it.

That's what you were being All secretive about last week?

How did the police board Find out about it?

I have no idea.

Seems like a lot of people Knew about it.

You didn't tell them?

You didn't go To the police board

About lenny?

Dominic, how could I?

You didn't even tell me What it was that he did.

Okay.

Okay.

Just checking.

Yeah. Hey. This is good news, remember?

Actually, I've got more news for you, too.

Yeah? What's that?

Well, I'm already getting blamed

As the author Of this particular rumor,

And I was just thinking,

If you want To spread another one,

Could you make it

More like I'm Shocked and appalled

That people could Spread rumors on a guy

Just for doing

What everybody does Once in a while?

Okay.

Thanks.

So you were with bardsley In the cafe?

Yeah. I had A coffee with him.

Well, how come You didn't mention that to us

When we spoke to you before?

Well, we're Not supposed

To socialize

With friends And family

Of the patients.

Is that right? Is that a rule?

Well, it's not written in stone, But it's frowned upon.

Well, then what made you decide

To take mr. Bardsley Out to coffee that day?

Well, he seemed lonely.

A little depressed.

I thought Maybe I could cheer him up.

You know, we were friends, Kind of.

It was no big deal.

Okay.

What did you do After you had coffee?

He said that his legs Were bothering him

And that he didn't Want to drive home,

So I drove him home.

You were going to pick Him up the next day,

And then drop him off Back at his car?

Well, I don't know. We didn't discuss it.

Did anyone see you Drop him off?

Is there anyone that Can verify that?

I didn't notice.

Okay.

Okay, what?

That's it.

That's all we have for you.

Can I get back to work?

Yeah, go ahead.

Thanks.

You see that, leo?

She was shaking

In her little, white Nurse boots.

Oh, hey, maria.

I'm just going. Do you want to walk with me?

Sure.

What happened To your head?

Oh, it's a long story,

And I've told it

Too many times today.

That's okay.

I'll make one up On my own.

Yeah. So, nick mcleod, The hanging death.

There's some small Scratches on his arms.

Nothing significant, Though.

Oh. What about the, uh...

The skin Under his nails?

Anything on that?

It looks like that Might be his own.

Underneath the ligature Around his neck,

I found nail marks,

Like he was clawing At his neck,

Trying to loosen off The noose.

So we know that He was conscious

When he was hanged.

Yeah.

Well, that's consistent With suicide.

You know, you have Every intention

Of hanging yourself,

But as soon as you Make the plunge,

You're bound To struggle a bit.

I've seen that before.

Mm-hmm.

The skin's going in For dna testing.

I'll let you know How that goes.

Yeah.

Aside from that,

Cause of death Was strangulation,

Consistent with hanging.
