[ siren wailing ]

Hey.

Hey, leo.

Hey.

Morning, rose.

Morning.

How you doing?

Good.

I'm guessing There's a story

That goes along With this one.

Oh, yeah. It's a beauty.

This ambulance here

Was on its way To vgh this morning.

So, the paramedic Tells me

He's slowing down For the turn here.

This car here just comes Right out of the alley,

Right in the middle of the road, And stops.

He didn't just Pull out?

He pulled out and stopped On purpose?

Stops dead,

So the collision, Of course, occurs,

And the paramedic's jumping out

His driver's-side door.

This idiot's Getting out his door,

And as he comes around the car, Like where you are now,

He sees he's got A rifle in his hand.

He starts demanding Morphine.

Morphine?

Yeah.

Morphine. Okay. Well, a morphine hold-up.

That's got to be a first for me.

It's kind of A new low, isn't it?

So we've got A robbery...

And then what?

Well, then he doesn't Give him any argument.

He gives up His drug pouch,

And then our guy Heads off down the road

With the rifle in his hand, I guess,

Bag of drugs with him,

Leaves his car Right there,

But the story doesn't Really end there.

I want you to meet Mrs. Mable normand,

Who, unfortunately,

Was in the back of this vehicle While all this was going on.

There she is there.

She had stroke symptoms.

It's not the first time, either,

So he's rushing her To vgh,

And, uh...

A traffic accident

Isn't the best thing For a stroke.

She gets shook up Pretty good,

So now this ambulance Ain't going nowhere...

No.

So they call For another ambulance.

By the time that one gets here, She's dead.

Geez.

So now we're up to homicide.

Yeah. It's kind of Like a domino thing.

Okay.

All right, well, We got it from here.

Okay.

Maybe I could bump into you A little later.

That'd be good.

You got it.

Okay, thanks. See you later.

We'll see you.

Boy, this is a mess.

You run those Plates yet

On this vehicle?

Yeah.

It was stolen In alberta

Two weeks ago.

Okay, that's Good to know.

We got the paramedics Separated,

Waiting in the cruiser To talk to you.

Okay, that's good.

Did you take a look Through this vehicle here?

No, she's all yours. Left it for you.

Good. That's what I want to hear.

I got this one.

Hey.

You the coroner?

Yeah. Da vinci.

Hey.

How are you? Where are we?

We're going up The alley here.

Okay.

This one ain't pretty.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, we're dealing With a fire here.

That's pretty clear. What else do we know?

Well, it's a story.

You're going to want To talk to that guy

Over there With my partner

First.

That one, yeah.

He's an appliance Repairman.

Name is steve carson.

Okay.

That's his van Up there.

What's that?

Okay, what was His name again?

Steve carson.

Mr. Carson?

My name's dominic da vinci.

I'm with the Coroner's service.

I wonder if you could tell me What happened here.

Well, uh...

I was driving past This building here,

On my way to Pick up some parts...

Uh-huh.

When I see This guy on fire

In that scaffolding Thing there.

Was he Up in the air?

No.

He was On the ground.

On the ground.

Okay.

So, I, uh...

I grab the fire extinguisher From my van

And I run like hell over there

And spray it On the guy.

Was he still alive At this point?

Yeah.

He was still alive, But all burned.

Bad burned.

So I go back to my van

And I radio 911 For an ambulance...

Good.

And I hear this sound, This whoosh.

A what?

Like a whoosh sound...

Okay.

And I turn around

And the fire's Started up again.

The body was reigniting? That's the whoosh?

Yeah.

So I hightail it back there To put him out again,

But the fire extinguisher

Runs out of fluid.

Empty.

There was nothing I could do.

So you've got To stand there

And just Watch this guy burn

In front of you?

That's harsh. Excuse me.

Did you call Victim services?

No, not yet. I will.

Okay, don't Waste any time.

I've got somebody coming here That you can talk to.

It helps.

Thanks.

No, thank you.

Geez.

Wow.

All right, this guy's

Obviously painting The building here.

He must have had a vehicle.

Did you see A vehicle around?

Yeah, there's a van Up in the loading dock

Over there.

Oh, excellent. Great.

I'm going to want To take a look at that.

Okay.

What about The painting company?

Did you call them?

Yeah. No answer.

We're trying to get Ahold of the owner.

Got his name off of The papers in the van.

It's clarke macklin.

Macklin painting Contractors.

I guess

It's a bit early For them yet, eh?

Okay.

Do we know how this fire Got started?

Are there any other witnesses?

Nobody so far.

We're still canvassing, though.

Clean-shaven.

Short, dark hair,

40s, maybe. Jeans, beige jacket.

Anything else stand out About this guy?

Tattoos, scars?

Well, he didn't look Like a street junkie.

I mean, he just looked Like a normal guy.

All right.

What about the rifle?

You get A look at that?

It was a hunting rifle.

You know, like you see In the western movies,

With the thing On the bottom?

A lever action.

All right, that's good.

Thanks.

Okay.

The other paramedic

Was in the back Of the ambulance,

So all he saw Was the guy's back

As he was Running away.

Okay.

I got a description.

You wanted To see me, sir?

Yeah. You find any other witnesses?

Well, we're still Canvassing the area,

But it was early,

Not many people around.

Mostly warehouses.

Okay. Keep trying.

Check out this vehicle.

Some damage here.

Previous accident, maybe.

All right.

Let's see what we've got In here.

We've got, uh...

Some gas receipts...

From alberta and b.C.

No credit card. Just cash purchases.

Lot of junk food Wrappers in there

And stuff.

Yeah, you got food stains On the seat.

Mustard and ketchup. Sloppy eater.

Hey,

You don't have to be A sloppy eater

To make a mess like that.

Those little packages,

They're hell to get Anything out of.

Hey.

Some old copies Of tiger beat.

Now, what the hell is that?

It's a girl's magazine.

I used To read it too.

You've got a hairbrush Back here too.

Looks like it belongs to a girl.

Yeah, well, there's No way of knowing

If that stuff was in the car Before it was stolen or not,

So we're going to have To contact the registered owner,

Find out if he had any kids.

Check out that glove box.

Anything in there?

No registration.

Just some maps Of b.C. And alberta.

All right.

Well, we'd better Back off here,

Call ident, Have them take it in.

Maybe they can get some prints For us.

See what I mean?

You can see a strip right there Where he was painting,

But then look How far it is down

Before you can see

Any signs Of soot marks.

Yeah, well,

The staging Was down here

When the repairman Saw it burning.

Yeah, well, I know that,

But I'm starting To think now

That maybe it's burning Before it came down,

Or maybe it's burning While it's coming down.

So you think He came down

For more paint or something?

More paint?

I don't know about more paint.

See this melted mess over here?

Yeah.

You know what that is, Don't you?

That's one of those

Five-gallon, Big things of paint.

He's obviously got Oil-based paint.

He's got another one over here, So that's what's burning, eh?

It's got to be. It's the paint,

So I don't think He's coming down

For more paint.

So he wasn't Coming down, then?

Well, he's coming down.

I just don't think It's about the paint...

And there's this Silvery stuff.

Now, what the hell is this?

See how it comes right down...

I'm standing in it. It's all over the road here.

That's a lot of it, Whatever it is.

I'd love to know What this is.

It looks like solder.

It does.

Can't be.

Okay, let's get A look at that van.

All right.

Any witnesses Turn up yet?

No. It's saturday.

This area's pretty deserted.

Wasn't locked.

Just, uh...

Just full of painter's Stuff, you know?

Rags, brushes, Rollers,

Roller handles.

Yeah.

Just about everything

You'd expect In a painter's van.

Okay.

Look in the front here.

Lunch pails.

Yeah, you work hard, You get hungry,

Right?

Not that hungry.

There's two lunch pails here. You see that?

Two lunch pails. That's two painters.

I'd say we're missing a painter.

You know, I didn't see that.

Well, what do you Think happened?

Maybe he went to go Get more paint

Or something.

More paint?

Well, why wouldn't he Take the van?

Maybe he had His car here?

You see?

That's the answers I'm looking for.

Those are exactly The questions

I want answered.

Okay, what you can do Is maybe go

And keep Trying to contact

This painting company Here,

And at the same time, You might check out

Who owns or leases This place.

You never know.

They might Know something

That can help us out.

All right.

Okay, thank you.

Oh, hey, leo.

Prints from the stolen car Match a douglas james shelby.

He's wanted On a canada-wide warrant

For kidnapping his 10-year-old daughter jennifer

In ontario.

One of those custody battles.

Yeah, both parents Want custody

And neither one Will give an inch.

So that stuff We found in the car

Must belong to The little girl, then,

Because I, uh...

I checked With the registered owner,

Anhe doesn't have any kids.

Well, shelby's Been on the run

For six months.

There have been Several sightings

But nothing confirmed.

All the time working west.

We should get ahold Of the wife.

She'll have something to say, I can guarantee.

I already put A call out to her,

And I got these pictures From cpic.

Looks like he had a beard then.

Oh, yeah.

Did you get anything else?

Yeah, that car Was involved

In another accident Not too long ago.

Now, the owner claims

There weren't any dents in it When he had it,

But he could be just trying To pass on the blame.

Didn't report it

'cause he didn't want His insurance to go up?

Yeah, right, And ident says

They found some traces Of old, dried blood

On the driver's side

- in the back seat... - old blood?

And the owner claims That there is no way

That it could be his.

It's been in an accident Since it was stolen.

Maybe somebody got hurt.

Yeah, could be.

Hey.

Hi.

So suki said I should come to you,

Get put in the picture

About what brian's Been up to.

Yeah, we just Don't want you

Getting hurt,

Trying not to rock the boat.

If I had a choice, I'd take another partner,

But when I transferred to vice, I didn't get asked.

Just got assigned.

Nothing going on Between me and brian

At all.

All right, we don't want To put you in a position

Of ratting him out, either.

We want to give you a chance To get out of the picture

When things go down.

I appreciate that.

Yeah.

You should Probably think

About taking A few sick days,

Something like that.

You know, get yourself Out of there.

All right. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hey...

Thanks for making The effort.

No problem.

Take care.

See you.

Mr. Da vinci?

Yeah.

This is mr. Macklin, Owner of the painting company.

Thanks for coming by. Sorry.

This is terrible.

I'm sorry about this.

Thanks.

This is awful.

Yeah, sorry.

I can't believe This is happening.

Yeah.

Okay, you had Two painters working.

Am I right about that?

That's right.

Do you happen to know Their names?

It's, uh...

Tom fredericks...

Okay.

And, uh...

Carl dixon.

Unfortunately,

One of your painters Is already dead,

And the other one Seems to be missing.

Any idea where Your other painter might be?

They should both be here.

They should be.

Fredericks is a family guy, You know?

He's pretty reliable.

Okay.

If anyone's missing, It'd be dixon.

Why's that?

He likes his beer.

Usually phones in sick Or hung over

Or just doesn't Show up.

Wouldn't be The first time.

Did he drink At work ever?

No.

You sure?

Well, I mean, I don't think so.

I mean, fredericks wouldn't Put up with that.

He would just send him home.

Okay.

I can't have One guy painting alone.

You know, That'd get me in trouble

With the wcb.

I don't need any Problems with them.

Have you had trouble with wcb Before?

No, I'm just...

I'm just saying, you know, I don't want any problems.

Yeah.

You know, it's a small business.

It's hard enough To make ends meet.

Relax. I've just got to know The history there, okay?

Were they Experienced guys?

Oh, yeah.

These guys, they're pros, You know?

They knew what they were doing.

Okay. That's about it.

I just wonder

If you wouldn't mind Waiting around

In case something else Comes up, you know?

Actually,

I've got a bid I've got to do On another job.

Is it all right

If I come back A little later?

Yeah, okay.

If could just do One more thing for me

And go and see The constable

And would you give her The names and addresses

Of these Two gentlemen

That were Working for you?

Yeah, sure.

I appreciate it.

Thanks for coming down So quickly, eh?

Sorry about this.

What the hell is this?

Geez.

Hey, guess what?

What?

Right behind you, This trailer here,

- the gray trailer? - yeah?

There's a body on top of it.

What? What do you mean?

I mean There's a body on top.

It's probably Our missing painter.

See if you can grab A ladder here somewhere, okay?

Yeah, this has got to be The other painter.

He's got the same color paint As the building

All over him.

How the hell Did you get up here,

Eh, buddy?

Maybe when The fire started,

He jumped over.

See the charring On his hands?

Yeah.

Same thing occurs On his feet.

Yeah.

That's probably Where he grabbed

The swing stage Right there, eh?

See the way He's charred like that?

Yeah.

I've seen charring like that Frequently

In electrocution Cases, eh?

Oh, man. You think?

I'm starting to think

That's exactly What happened here.

You know, enough electricity Goes through your body,

And it's like All your muscles just contract.

Boom, just sends you flying.

That's why

They've got to lock them In the electric chair.

Did you know that?

Yeah, otherwise They go flying

Out of that chair.

Yeah.

You looking at The hydro wires?

That shot Of electricity

Had to come From somewhere.

It's going to knock him Right out of that swing stage,

And all the way over here On top of this trailer.

That's what

I'm starting to think Happened here.

Great. Thanks.

So, we're ready to go

On the dope sale To rick.

We've just Got to get you

To sign The requisition form

For the coke.

Right. Okay. That's tonight sometime.

Yeah, that's what Kenny figures,

But it's brian Driving it,

So we're Going to see.

You're going For six ounces.

Six ounces, yeah.

Anything less seems A little lightweight

For kenny To be dealing.

All right, I'll call lockup

And they'll Have it ready for you.

How you feeling about it?

It's kenny's game here,

So we'll let him play it, Back him up.

What about brian's partner?

Marla. Yeah, she's Going to take

A couple Of sick days.

Just a word of caution. Keep your eye on kenny.

I get the sense

He's a little cocky Now and then.

Remind him the dope deal's The bait, not the end-game.

We're looking at brian For homicide.

Yeah, we'll do that. We'll remind him.

Great. Let me know.

Thanks.

That's got to be Our investigator there, leo.

- vancouver homicide. You doan? - yeah.

Thanks for coming so fast.

You said on the phone You spotted our guy.

He's in that motel Right there.

I've been Watching the place.

He left about A half-hour ago.

He doesn't have The beard anymore,

But it's shelby, All right.

What about the little girl? Did you see her?

No, I didn't see her.

So she could still be In the room there?

Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

We should Take a look.

All right, I'll Point it out to you.

You've been tailing this guy

All the way From ontario?

Yeah, A few weeks behind.

He's pretty Resourceful.

He's a good con man.

How do you mean?

Well, some of the things He tells people

About where he's been

And where They're going,

Like he's Newly widowed,

And moving His little girl

Out west

To start over.

Little girl

Doesn't like to talk About her dead mom.

10 minutes of that,

He's got them Crying in their tea.

Oh, so he knows How to get their sympathy.

Well, that's not All he knows.

For a guy who's Supposed to be

A straight arrow School teacher,

He's a natural Car thief.

How you been Keeping up with him?

Well, he's got patterns.

Stays in campgrounds,

Cooks on a coleman,

So he buys fuel Regularly,

Shops in gas stations,

Eats a lot Of junk food.

Yeah, we noticed that.

Not that many campgrounds In the city.

Well, that's When he goes

For the low-rent motels.

Uh, you know,

The kind with The ground-room floors

You can park your car In front of.

Nothing fancy, but It's got to have a tv.

That's for The little girl,

I guess.

Mrs. Shelby told me

About the ambulance Thing.

You guys figure out What happened there?

You allowed to say?

Well, we're still Working that out.

Did you ask Any questions

At the motel there?

No.

Soon as I found out You guys were involved,

I backed right off.

You sound like a cop.

What's your background?

15 years, opp,

Till I got the boot.

Cutbacks.

That's his room Right there.

Yeah, you know what this...

You know this silver thing... You know what that is?

It's melted aluminum.

Oh, yeah?

Melted aluminum,

Like the aluminum Extension handles

We just saw on the van.

It's melted, But that's what that is.

So they were using The roller handles

To do more wall

Without having to move The staging.

Exactly,

Because they're Lowering the staging

Because they want To paint the next strip down,

And what happens, I bet you anything,

Is one of those guys

Wasn't paying Attention,

Wasn't watching Behind him,

Lays his aluminum Extension

Across the rails Of this thing,

And he makes contact

With that power line Up there.

See, that's a mistake.

Aluminum's your Perfect conductor.

Perfect, and this Whole thing's aluminum,

Right?

So aluminum handle Meets aluminum staging,

And that jolt of electricity Sends our poor friend flying

All the way over here On top of this trailer,

And the other poor guy, He's standing in there,

And he's got two Five-gallon things

Of oil-based paint,

And they go up, whoosh, Like the repairman said,

And that's it.

Just kind of Caught in the middle, eh?

How many volts Is that, you think?

I don't know, But it's a lot.

It isn't enough to kill the guy, We know that,

Because The repairman said

He was moving around When he got here.

Maybe he had Rubber soled shoes on.

I don't know. We'll find that out.

But how did this thing Get down here?

You take your hands Off the controls,

It stops moving, right? That's how it works.

Well, probably, It's lowering itself,

Wouldn't you think?

I mean, look,

That electricity Has probably fried

The descent brake On that,

And it's coming down The fast way.

That puts him On the ground,

On fire.

Puts him on the ground, On fire.

It could be him,

Except Minus the beard.

It could be The girl too,

But her hair's Short now.

I only saw her The once

When they checked in.

He said she'd been sick.

What else Can you tell us?

They're pretty private.

The "Don't disturb" Sign's

Usually on the door.

He says

He likes to clean The place himself.

Just gets clean towels From housekeeping.

The girls don't mind.

Saves them the work.

Is he in his room now?

Somebody said He might have gone out.

Don't know.

You got the key?

Okay, we'll take it From here.

You just stay In the office.

Housekeeping.

Housekeeping.

Oh...

She's been hurt.

Jennifer.

Jennifer?

Her pulse is weak.

We're going to need An ambulance.

You hang on, honey.

We're going to get you Some help, okay?

Tell them The back way, no sirens.

This is detective rose williams.

I need an ambulance At the city centre motel,

Back alley, No sirens.

Drug pouch there.

Looks like He's getting ready

To run again.

We're going to need some backup And a van

So we can get in close,

And before we Back out of here,

We're going to have To plug up this door lock.

They'll be here soon, Sweetie.

Where you been, man?

I've been waiting here For half an hour.

Am I late? I thought we said 11:30.

It's noon.

I've been standing Out there,

Shivering and sneezing.

You got a bug or something?

Yeah. I'm all right.

Maybe you should Take a day or two.

I don't want to catch What you've got.

No, I'm all right, okay? I won't spread it.

So, what's up?

Where you been?

Oh, I had to take Some personal time.

A friend of mine Needed some counseling.

Counseling?

Yeah, she's been Having some problems

With her husband.

Right. Counseling.

Look, no offense, all right?

But you're definitely Coming down with something.

I want you to take A couple of days,

Whatever.

Okay. Maybe I will. You'll be all right without me?

Yeah, well, it'll be lonely, But I'll...

I'll make do.

I know this is Difficult.

I promise I won't Take too long.

That's all right.

You have to ask Your questions.

I just want to know

How this could Have happened.

Well, I'm very anxious

To find out The answer to that too.

Okay, um...

How long has Your husband worked

For mr. Macklin?

Three years.

He started working there

Just after we came out From p.E.I.

From p.E.I.? Okay.

Was he doing The same kind of work there?

Well, no. He's a carpenter.

He couldn't get Any carpentry work out here,

So, you know,

There was lots Of painting work,

So he started To do that.

Okay,

And did he talk much About his work at home?

Did he say what it was like Working for mr. Macklin?

Well,

He was glad for the money,

But, you know, It was hard, long hours,

And...

Mr. Macklin Liked to make it clear

Who was the boss...

Uh-huh.

And the van kept on Breaking down.

The van?

I noticed the van too.

It did look

A little Worse for wear.

Yeah, well, That's work, you know?

You've got to Put up with things.

What about other equipment That they had to use?

Did your husband complain About anything else?

Um...

Yeah, that scaffolding thing

That they had to use With the bigger buildings.

The swing stage that Goes up and down?

Yeah.

That wasn't reliable?

Well, he said it was hard

To get it to stop Where you wanted it.

Oh, yeah?

Did he tell mr. Macklin About that?

Yeah, he told him,

But mr. Macklin Couldn't afford to replace it,

And so he'd get it fixed,

And then it would work For a few weeks,

And then it would just go back To the way it was before.

Is that right?

How long had that Been going on for?

For over a year.

A year.

Do you think that has something To do with the accident?

Well, I don't know.

I don't know for sure Anything right now,

But as soon as I do know,

I'll call you Myself, okay?

Thank you.

Do you have any other family Living out here?

No.

No, it's just The three of us now.

In the situation That you find yourself in now,

It doesn't hurt

To obtain some Legal advice.

We can't afford a lawyer.

Well, I'm going To give you

This name here, Phil rosen.

He's a lawyer,

But he's not going to charge you Just for consulting.

Just tell him I told you to call, okay?

Thank you.

Good guy.

I've got my cell On there, too,

In case you have Any more questions.

I guess I could call him,

But it's not going To bring tom back, is it?

No, it's not.

Thanks very much.

Hey, helen.

Yeah, it's me.

I want to know About any industrial accidents,

Consumer complaints, Inspection complaints,

To just call her back.

Well, she wanted To see you.

The darcy charlie Inquest

Being put On the back burner?

I told her you were On your way

And if she wanted To speak with you,

She should wait.

And I've got some background On darcy,

In case it's any use to you.

Darcy charlie?

Mm-hmm.

Geez, that's great. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Well, I appreciate

The stand that you're Taking on this.

Do you have a date set For the inquest?

I'd like to be there,

Maybe even Get some standing to speak.

I have a problem With that inquest.

I lost my witness.

I had one witness,

And we found her dead In an alley.

She died of an overdose-- She was an addict--

But without that witness, I've got no clout.

What about the people Who were working

Down at the needle exchange That night?

Well, unfortunately,

We haven't been able To locate any of them,

And I guess No one's really prepared

To come forward on their own At this point,

Yeah, I kind of Think I did.

Your two men were up On that swing stage,

Because they were Going to paint

That great, huge wall,

And they wanted To do a good job.

The problem they had, though, Was the swing stage itself.

It just wasn't working right.

That's not right.

It's not?

No, that swing stage Was in good working order.

That swing stage Was not all right.

It was not working correctly.

Well, if that was the case,

They shouldn't Have been using it.

That's right.

They know that they've got To check the equipment

Before using it, okay?

If it's not working, Then they've got to call me,

So I get a phone call.

You got a phone call.

You got plenty Of phone calls

On that swing stage.

Numerous complaints, I know that,

But still you didn't Replace it.

It didn't need Replacing.

It was fixable, So I fixed it.

Well, that's what those guys Thought too,

But here they are,

They're trying to paint The next strip down

From where they painted, okay?

And what happens?

The swing stage Does one of these, right?

Just drops down too far,

And one of your guys Has got his extension handle,

Which is made Out of aluminum.

Did you know that?

Yeah.

Well, that's what Came in contact

With the power line,

And that's what happened To your guys, okay?

I'm sorry, but that's it.

Okay, so my guys Were negligent, then.

They weren't paying attention To what they were doing.

Wow.

Hey, come on, It's tragic.

Look, I'm really sorry...

No, no, no.

But it's their fault.

That's not the way The law works, okay?

The way the law works

Is that was your equipment, You provided it,

It was faulty, And I'm starting to think,

What else around here,

What equipment around here Is also faulty?

It didn't take me 10 minutes To find numerous infractions

You've already been fined for.

You know what? I think we're done talking.

And what about that van Those guys were driving?

That didn't exactly look kosher Either.

I'm going to check every piece Of equipment you own.
