Viewer discretion is advised.

Ballister is retiring with your new watch, Commander.

You can make sure nothing falls through the cracks again.

As of today, Oliver Campbell is formally suspended.

And if your path won't lead you home, you can never

surrender.

Enough with the depression FM, Brandy. Don't listen to her.

It's pretty and powerful, just like you. We need some real gems, like Miley.

I need this one.

Okay. It's deep.

Sorry.

All right.

See you later, Queens.

You know how it works.

But it's going to be a good night. I can feel it.

Always say that.

And I'm always right.

Besides, you've had me for like an hour. Do you know how much that cost?

It's very beautiful. Thank you.

Okay.

You looking for a good time?

Yo, call the cop. Call the cop.

Hey.

Oh, good morning, Sabrina.

How are you doing? Oh, Ish, thank you so much for asking. Can you keep it down?

I'm just in the middle of something important.

Aiden and I killed ourselves putting those Campbell files together with our

at the CIU, and that criminal walks away with a nice suspension.

Yeah, I don't like it any more than you do.

Yeah, well, it's hard to tell whose side you're on these days.

What is that supposed to mean? It hasn't been easy for me either.

Kara's gone.

Zach and I are just back to normal.

Yeah, well, that's just good old TFPC drama.

Well, I'm not the most popular person at detachment.

Half of them think that I'm an over -entitled princess who personally got

Campbell suspended.

They respected him.

Don't trust me. Screw them.

Hey, I mean, at least your love life's popping.

I mean, we got home to family dinner. I mean, when's the wedding?

Is that nape boop?

No, it's work.

You want that?

Vince.

Hey. Thanks.

Sanitation discovered her body this morning.

Is Tanila away?

Yeah, looks like it.

Her villa?

So how?

Her name?

Female. Mid to late 30s.

Estimated time of death, 8 to 12 hours.

Do you have a name?

There was no name tag on the body, detective.

No ID.

I found a purse close by, but no wallet.

Officers are checking the dumpster and bags for anything that looks suspicious.

Drag mark.

Doesn't look like the primary crime scene.

And no CCTV footage? Nothing from the area, no. Let's take some officers and

canvass that apartment building over there.

Copy that. Do you have a cause of death?

Strangulation. Asphyxiation caused by external pressure to the anterior

region.

Inside wounds on antebrachium and forearms. What, defensive wounds?

Hmm. Cucks look pretty deep. The wounds were created by the tangential force of

a sharp edge object, like a knife.

Abrasions on wrist consistent with restraint.

Handcuff? Yes.

Oh, and she has the most peculiar marking.

The F40?

Hey, Jillian, I'm sending you a photo. Our woman has F40 written on her

forehead.

I'll start digging. Thanks, Jill.

Thanks.

Sari is a meeting place for sex workers and Johns.

If you're looking for a name for a Jane Doe, Detective Meyer is a good place to

start. It's Meyer from Vice?

Yeah, you know him?

Now, these here are what you call designer donuts.

Okay, you got your creme brulee, your cherry cheesecake, and your Homer

special. I'll take a Boston cream with a side of bragging rights. Oh, honey.

What's up, brother?

How are you, brother? Okay, the only right you have is to remain silent.

That three -pointer was a lucky shot. That was lucky, the new word for

This guy.

Speaking of, is this Detective Sohal?

Detective Meyer. Kalani here sings her praises.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah. Listen, found a body in the industrial yard off Old Yale Road.

to see if you'd recognize her.

Pretty sure that's Brandy.

Struggled with addiction.

What's, uh...

What's that on her forehead? We're working on that.

Do you have a last name?

Yeah. Full name's Allison Taylor.

And we busted a massage parlor she was working at not that long ago.

Is she OD or?

No, handcuffed, strangled, abandoned among garbage bags.

Jesus. What about Bad John's? Any reports lately?

Not here.

There were a few isolated incidents in Langley a while ago.

Any arrests?

Hey, you should talk to the other girls, though. They might be able to help you

out. They usually hang at St. John Mission. Great.

Thanks, Mitch.

Hey, hope you get the guy.

Cheers, brother.

Hey, Vince. Yeah, we got a name on our Jane Doe.

We're still investigating circumstances.

Oh, my God.

Allie.

She just called me two nights ago.

She... Take your time.

She asked me for money.

And I said no.

Oh, my God.

If I would have just given it to her.

When was the last time you saw your sister?

Two months ago.

I took her some clothes and shampoo.

She used to have the most beautiful thick hair, but it was all matted.

And she was so skinny.

Rebecca, do you know of anyone who might have wanted to hurt Allison?

You mean besides John?

Addicts? What about a boyfriend or an ex?

I don't know. I don't think so.

She did tell me about this one guy, a photographer.

She liked him.

He said he could get her modeling work.

And did he? Did that work out for her?

I never saw any photos.

Did she maybe tell you his name?

No.

I'm not sure if she made that story up or if it was real.

Okay, well, thank you again for your time, Rebecca.

Again, we're really sorry for your loss.

Allie was a bright light.

She should be alive.

Find who did this.

We'll do everything we can.

You're stuck.

You need anything.

Her body was found in an industrial yard this morning.

Could you identify her, Pastor Patrick?

Yes, that's her.

She was such a wonderful person.

Sorry. It's okay.

Did Brandy come here often?

Yeah, she would come at least once a week, since I started three months ago.

It took a while to build trust.

We would talk.

She'd like to read in the drop -in center.

Same spot all the time.

She really loved singing in the community choir and helping the kids

chapel.

She was doing okay for a while. She got her 30 -day chip.

Then she stopped going to meetings.

And when you do that...

For me, it was whiskey.

Celebrated 15 years.

Do you remember the last time you saw Brandy? Yeah, yesterday at choir

Brandy was with May and Delilah.

Three musketeers. Hey, Dad. We're running low on sandwiches.

This is my son, Jordy. Hi, Detective Soham.

Yeah. Detective Clondy.

Are you here for the community outreach meeting?

Son.

Randy was found dead this morning.

What happened?

That's what we're trying to figure out.

Now is the time we can lean on our community.

But we do need to speak to these policemen, okay?

We need to find out what happened.

They're here now.

Come on, May.

Detectives, this is May Wan Yan, Delilah St. James.

I'll be in my office.

Hi there.

My name is Zach Kalani.

Hi, I'm Sabrina.

We're very sorry for your loss.

Sure you are.

One less sex worker for you to arrest, right?

We were hoping to ask you a few questions. It's your fault she's dead.

You raided our massage parlor, kicked down the doors, waving your guns around,

trashed the place.

Rounded us up like criminals and forced us onto the streets to fend for

ourselves.

Shame on you.

Shame on all of you.

Brandy's blood is on your hands.

I think my sister did it all.

She's right.

Mae's right. We left Brandy exposed to this risk.

We should have done more to protect her.

To protect all of you.

We want to do that.

We want to find the person who did this so it doesn't happen again.

Delilah, we need your help.

Patrick said that you were with Randy last night.

Please.

If you have any information.

It was a dark sedan.

Maybe a Honda.

I didn't get a good look. I had a medium build, maybe.

I write down all of the license plates of the cars the girls get into.

The license plate was muddy, so I only saw some of the numbers.

This is very helpful.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Find his ass and nail it.

We got nothing from the garbage, still waiting on DNA, and still no hits on

Brandy's sister mentioned something about a photographer. She didn't get a

but the guy sounds shady. We're looking into it now.

I ran the partial plate you sent me. Five possible matches just came in.

Three of them are registered to women.

Which doesn't match the profile.

Vehicles could have been driven by a husband or a boyfriend.

Yeah, you're not wrong, but two of the vehicles are registered to men. Let's

start there.

Jeremy Mislin and Fitzgerald Auster.

Both men have Nissan Sentras. Let's talk to these guys.

Mud covering halfway.

Sabrina.

Hey, guys.

How you doing?

Five more minutes, you guys.

Hi, there.

Detective Kalani and Sohal with the CFPC.

Hi. We're looking for a Fitzgerald Oster.

That's my husband.

What's this regarding?

Hey, you left the gas on in the barbecue.

Mr. Oster, hi.

CFPC. Do you mind if we have a moment? What's going on, Fitz?

It's nothing.

Sure doesn't look like nothing.

Here, the kids are starving.

Uh, come on, you two.

Come on.

Before the hot dogs get cold.

Mr. Rosser, is that your sentra in the driveway?

Yeah. Where were you last night around 8 p .m.? I was working late.

Your license plate matches a car that picked up a sex worker in a parking lot

underneath Avenue. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Hey, turn

around. I'm bringing you in on suspicion of murder. Let's go.

You've got forensics combing your car right now, Fitz.

I'm thinking they're going to find Brandy's DNA on the feet, it's on the

and you'll be facing down a first -degree murder charge.

I told you. I picked her up.

And I'm a security guard.

That's why I have handcuffs. You know, the sooner you tell us the truth, the

easier it'll be for everyone.

Fitz.

It was...

It was my first time. I was lonely.

The wife and I, things are not so good.

I just... I took her to... Brandy.

I took Brandy to Lott in Kwantlen. But then I had second thoughts.

I said I wanted to leave.

Thanks anyway, you know?

But she insisted I pay the full amount.

I thought I was being scammed. Matt pissed you off. No.

I tried to reason with her. You'd already taken up her time. You'd cost

money. That's why I finally paid her half.

We didn't do anything.

You know what I think?

I think something happened in that car that pushed you too far.

She embarrassed you, and you snapped.

All right, so let me get this straight. You picked her up, you changed your

mind, you left her upset in a parking lot, and then you just drove home?

Yes.

Like I said I did.

You know what? Something was off with her.

She was all jittery. Said she really needed the money bad.

Then she got out.

Slammed the door.

Was gone.

And now she's dead.

Thanks for the update.

So, what did Dr. Nicky have to say? The test came back on the cuffs in Oster's

car. Brandy's DNA isn't on them. Okay, so he's not our guy.

We don't know Brandy's movements after Fitz dropped her off. The assailant

be the next John or three Johns later.

Or not a John at all.

What about the photographer?

We may have something. Take a look at Brandy's socials.

Yeah, I found similar photos on other accounts.

Same demographic of model. Same backdrop and poses.

Do you see what we see?

That wall looks familiar.

The old growers co -op in Newton.

That was one of our first calls.

And a photographer named Richard Manning rents space there. You did time for

dealing two years ago. There's a warrant out for his arrest. Not for dealing,

for dodging child support.

A real gem.

Thank you. Yeah.

See you.

Nice.

Just switch up that position a little bit for me there.

Nice. Oh, that's perfect.

Look at that.

Uh... If you could just maybe show me a little more shoulder, that would be

great.

No, I'll just hang tight for a sec here.

Richard Manning?

Uh, yeah.

Detective Soho, this is Detective Kalani. You left your door open.

I'm in the middle of the shoot, guys. What's this about?

We're investigating a homicide.

Brandi Taylor.

You photographed her?

I photographed a lot of girls. I mean... Oh, she's vaguely familiar, yeah.

How old are you? She's 20, 21.

Anyone try that again?

How's your daughter?

Dude, what's my daughter got to do with anything?

You're behind on your child support.

Yeah, and there's a warrant for your arrest.

Okay, well, I don't know anything about that. Right.

Maybe your memory will improve at the station.

Yeah, like what your relationship with Brandy was, when the last time you saw

her was. Anything else that may arise from your computer, your phone, your

camera. Okay, yeah, I know her.

You saying she's dead?

Okay. I mean, we hung out a bit. We did a few sessions. I liked her. But I

haven't seen her in months. She was trying to clean up.

Must have been hard considering you were her dealer. If I was her dealer, why

would I kill her, huh? Oh, I don't know.

Maybe she ripped you off.

Took your drugs and didn't pay up.

Uniforms can take a man.

Hey, are you okay?

Did you take any of that?

My wife is pressing me and the kids are crazy.

Work is work, eh?

Someone's pressing me.

Oh, my, my.

My Delilah.

Oh, girl.

Hey, you got some time for me, huh? I always have time for you. You know that.

What's new? What's been good?

We can only hold Manning for so long on the missed child support.

Let's make the most of it.

Sabrina. Vince, we picked up the photographer.

It looks like he might have been grooming his next victim.

Sabrina.

Another woman's been attacked.

It's Delilah.

Same MMO?

Yeah. Two attacks in 24 hours.

Yeah. He's still at large, and he's escalating. We're mobilizing units now.

attack happened approximately 30 minutes ago.

You said it was last seen heading east on 108.

Thanks, Gabby.

Let's pull CCTV, get witness statements, turn over every rock.

Let's go. I didn't see him until the prick was on top of me.

But I fought like hell.

Kicked him in the balls, screamed at the top of my lungs, and people came and...

I'm so sorry.

Can you describe what happened?

I had just finished with a client.

He's a regular, and he left, so I was freshening up, but I guess I let my

down for a second.

Did you see his face?

No.

He was like a ghost.

He came out of nowhere.

He was wearing a black hoodie and a mask, like a balaclava.

Did you notice anything distinguishing about him, a smell, maybe something on

his clothing?

No.

But when he grabbed my neck, I could feel like...

What is it, Delilah?

I could feel how much he hated me.

This escalation, this level of violence, doesn't come out of nowhere.

I remember Mitch mentioning those cases in Langley.

Yeah, but none of the Langley assault victims ended up dead or marked with

Serial predators often work up murder, so it started with feeding.

Now... All right, let's look at attacks in the local area.

These are the locations of Brandy and Delilah's attacks.

What are those? The assaults in Langley. There were four of them. You ran the

Rossmo formula?

Same M .O.

Handcuffs, strangulation mask, no arrests, and the attacks only stopped

months ago. It started here.

Where a guy moved to Surrey. Looks that way. I've mapped his profile and where

he's most likely to live and operate.

somewhere within this eight block radius.

These are all high traffic areas for sex workers.

And Brandy was headed in the direction of Enigma strip club when he attacked

in this alley.

What about the F40?

There was nothing in the Langley cases. It could be a more recent addition, but

I still haven't been able to crack it.

Maybe we were looking at it wrong.

That four, if you send it out, it looks like an H.

F -H -O.

Yeah, I'll hit the dark web and encrypted forums.

We need to let these women know they're in danger. The question isn't if he'll

strike again.

It's when. We need to stop him.

Reach out to Mitch.

A surveillance operation.

Well, if he's escalating, we need eyes on the street ASAP. That's not something

we can do on short notice. Well, I'm ready to step in undercover.

I've done it before.

That was car theft. This is a violent offender who's transitioned to murder.

Oh, I could guide her.

Meyer's vice.

You've got plenty of undercover experience.

Yeah, we'll talk to the women, have undercover officers take their place,

civilians safe.

I don't think we have the resources.

Oh, resources like we had to stage a huge raid on a massage parlor because it

made the yoga moms uncomfortable?

Watch yourself, detective.

A minute, sir. She can't be insubordinate, Vince. Yeah, I know. I'll

her. Trust me, she can do this.

Kabinsky, Kalani, myself, we'll have her back.

You know if this goes south.

I know. I got a lead on SHO.

Female human organism.

There are forums online, full -on misogynist hate groups.

There's some nasty threads about sex workers. Oh, what are they saying?

Well, for starters, sex workers should be punished for taking advantage of

lonely men by using their sexuality for profit.

So our guy's an incel? Yep, an involuntary celibate.

A femoid? What is that? A derogatory term incels use to describe women. They

compare us to androids, meaning females are not fully human.

These guys see themselves as victims of women. Which justifies the violence.

Yeah, there's one more thing.

I also found a thread referencing the areas that Randy and Delilah work. One

user mentioned the woman found dead off of Old Yale Road this morning.

Bye -bye, going cold now. FHO, cross your forehead one last time. You're

welcome. This is him. We haven't released that information yet.

Gerald, can you trace him? I'm trying, but it's encrypted apps and Tor.

He's doing it for the attention.

Which means each move is going to be bigger than the last.

Yeah.

All right.

I'm in. But only limited personnel on surveillance and undercover.

Great.

You're going to want to keep your wire alive and your exit clear, okay?

Don't underestimate anyone you encounter in the field.

You're not playing a character.

You're playing a human being.

So you need to talk the right way. You need to walk the right way.

Check the dude out.

Is he dangerous?

Does he have a weapon?

Because in a pinch, you're going to have to get creative.

All right. Now, any weaponry or surveillance devices need to be

We'll have you outfitted with a wire and a remote body cam, but anything

detectable, you're compromised.

When clients get shifty, they look at the ground. They don't look at the

Okay. So he's probably lying about what he wanted.

We'll establish an emergency response plan and procedure for your extraction.

But if the situation escalates, abort.

And don't take chances.

Chances get you killed.

If it doesn't feel right.

Do not get in that car.

So if you're lost and all alone, you

can never surrender.

I love that song.

That's both Brandy's favorite song.

Tell me more about her.

Well, she was just one of those people, you know.

Lit up the whole room.

We started calling her Honey Bee.

Because she was so sweet.

And Honey Badger when she was stubborn.

You're going to catch him, right?

We are going to do everything that we can.

Okay, serious crimes in collaboration with vices conducting a surveillance

operation on Wally Boulevard. We believe this is our suspect's hunting ground.

Detective Sohal, Officer Atkinson, Officer Monroe.

We'll be undercover as sex workers to lure this guy in.

Kalani, Brambilla, Kavinsky, and Meyer will lead plainclothes surveillance.

Our civilian, Delilah St. James, is offered to help. We're lucky to have

She'll be riding with Brambilla.

Vince?

So, we all have our designated watch points.

Remember that a lot of these alleys don't have car access.

Kavinsky and I will be parked here on King George.

I'll be parked...

Right here.

And I'll be here.

Atkinson, you're here.

Tattoo Alley, Monroe, you're Dragon Alley. Soho, you're Rickshaw Alley. Copy

that. Grove will be our eyes from command via body and dash cams and

have placed within the radius.

That's it.

Any questions?

All clear.

All good.

Get out there and be safe.

Lots of communication.

Ready?

Let's do this.

We remain vigilant in constant contact.

A suspect was last seen wearing a hoodie and a balaclava, concealing his face.

His M .O. to date involves immobilizing his target with handcuffs, violently

assaulting her, sometimes lethally, and marking her forehead with ink.

The weapon of choice is a knife, but as he's escalating, a firearm cannot be

ruled out. The moment he makes his presence known, we move in immediately

take him down.

Yum, yum. How much?

Not tonight.

Come on, I know you're working.

I said no.

What do you mean no?

I'm talking to you. Hey!

Hey, baby.

I'll give you double.

Hey, handsome. You having a good night?

So far. You've got to be kidding me.

Could be better. Oh, yeah?

You know of any good parties around here?

Well, it depends. Are you looking to unwind?

Sure am.

$500 around the world.

Sorry.

I'm tired of my budget.

Out of your budget? What do you mean, out of your budget?

Hey, you said you pay double!

Hey, check it out.

That look like the guy who attacked you?

Yeah, same outfit.

Serena, we've got eyes on a possible suspect. Male, 20s, black hoodie, cargo

pants. Looks like he has a knife. He's heading east.

Carrying a backpack.

I've got him. Heading towards Rickshaw Alley.

He's headed your way, I can see.

Maintain distance, Soho.

I can see he's closing in.

I don't have eyes.

We lost him in the crowd.

So I'll stand down.

He's got to be here somewhere.

Stand down.

Fall back.

Keep eyes on the sky.

Sir, screen three.

Who's that?

Not one of ours.

You have a civilian in the middle of our off?

You see him?

No.

I got eyes.

It's not him. It's not him.

College students with fake swords.

Nobody break the cover.

Nobody break the cover.

Is that a John?

We have eyes on the suspect. He's attacking a civilian.

One block west of you, Sabrina.

All officers respond now.

On my way.

Right behind you, Zach.

We've lost visual.

No visual.

Are you okay?

It's okay, you're safe.

He went that way!

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm sorry?

Do you have eyes on the suspect?

Not only did you put a civilian in danger, you lost the subject. You knew

signing off on this was a risk. Understood, sir. Can one of you please

with all the precautions we took, how the hell this happened?

A group of college kids threw us off.

Officer Meyer was meant to come in. Actually, sir, it was because I made a

decision to stay with May instead of going after the subject.

Yeah. Yeah, I saw it in full color. What was your directive, Soho?

What was your directive?

to warn the ladies and keep them out of the zone. This was on all of us, sir.

We should have tightened up the perimeter.

Traces of epithelial cells worn by the wearer of said gloves were found.

That's DNA.

However, no matches in the database.

All right, thank you.

We saw these gloves at the St. Joan mission at the garden center.

The mission is within the Rossmoor radius.

Yeah, and the pastor said that he'd only been in Surrey for a few months. Twenty

bucks as he moved here from Langley, where the prior attacks were.

Go. Let's bring him in.

I've dedicated my life to helping these women.

Their safety has always been my priority.

We've traced an IP address back to your church.

Because of that, we believe that the DNA that we find on that glove will match

yours. Look, I know you're just doing your job, but you have to believe me

I tell you.

I could never hurt anyone, especially our most vulnerable.

I don't know about IP addresses.

I only do email.

How many computers in the house?

I just have the one. What about your son?

Does he have one?

So, how long have you been back from U of T?

A month.

Nice. What's your major?

Biology, minor in stats.

Ah, university life.

I remember it well.

A lot of late nights.

And it was not funny.

So,

you're back here for the summer working with your dad?

Nice.

Helping him help people in the community.

He's got a big heart.

I bet that runs in the family.

People don't always see that, though, do they?

I thought about that a lot when I was your age.

How sometimes you could have so much to give, but you could still feel invisible

to the people around you.

I mean, women, mostly.

I bet you have someone special.

Back at school or here at home?

All right, let's get started.

If you're at Jordan.

That's fine. You don't have to answer me. I already know that it is.

I won't need much time here.

That's because Constable Grove, she's our computer expert. She reads all these

encrypted chats that aren't as private as the guys in there think they are.

You know, some of the things that these guys say, oh, God, you won't believe.

Guys who feel shut out, angry, who hate women.

Some of them specifically hate sex workers.

They don't just talk.

They fantasize about hurting them. Trevor, what do you think?

I don't want to hurt anybody. You don't want to hurt anybody, right, Geordie?

Is that right, Geordie?

Do you ever feel lonely?

Ever feel angry?

Or do you get all the femoid that you deserve?

Oh, strong, silent type.

I love it.

Okay, walk me through your last few evenings. What were you?

Home by yourself, or were you out with your friends?

Oh, wait.

Wait, you don't have any friends, do you?

I was at church.

Oh, you were at church.

At night. You sure?

I just talked to a few people. None of them saw you there.

That's the thing about community, Jordan.

Somebody always sees something.

Ever heard of Red Pill?

Nofap?

This is you, isn't it?

No.

I think it is.

I'll tell you why.

Our computer -savvy colleague...

She traced this handle back to the IP address tied to this laptop.

Want to read what you wrote?

You said that you were going to show them. Come on, that's not my guy.

Can you believe her?

Because they shouldn't be selling what should be ours, which is access to the

FHO's body.

You were going to punish them for using their body in the way that they wanted.

For rejecting all of those miserable lonely men with zero sexual market

And I read through all of your posts. All of them.

Very sad.

University wasn't what you expected.

And you couldn't get a woman there either.

Just look at you.

You have to wear a mask to get close to a woman. And even then you have to use

handcuffs so she doesn't run away from you. Shut up!

You piece of shit, feminist slut.

You don't know me.

Flaunting your power, rubbing our faces in it like it's yours. Well, it's not

yours! Those street whores, they choose it. They seduce, they exploit.

Then we rise up.

Then we stand up to them and we make them pay.

Told you I wouldn't need much time.

We go?

Vince. DNA from Brandy's attack. It's a match.

We got our guy. Good news.

It was the tip of the iceberg.

I thought of a meeting with the superintendent and Delilah.

Yeah? A conversation about...

Safe spaces, about respect.

That's great news.

You know, guys have been working those streets for decades, you know, the

difference you made in 24 hours.

I wish it felt better right now.

Lives were saved.

Focus on that.

I also know my watch commander's coming back.

Always.

And this from your watch commander.

You talk to Bolden like that in front of your peers again and you'll be on

suspension, you hear me?

Yes, sir.

If he's not wrong, this could have gone a lot worse.
