CARDINAL: What did you see?

A white guy

KEVIN: You saw Terri get on the bus, right?

LEON: I dropped her at the station.

TAMMY: But my prints are all over that kilo of coke.

Make the fingerprints disappear,

CARDINAL: We have confirmation.

A rival moving in on the Northern Raiders drug trade.

JORDAN: I didn't know he was a dealer.

COMMANDA: Is there anything at all

that you can tell us about him?

JORDAN: He had like this crazy tooth.

The Northern Raiders don't own this town anymore.

LEON: Toof.

RAY: Keep your mouth shut about our plans.

(BOOM)

No!

RAY: Never lose control.

RAY: No one uses our product.

Break any of my rules and I kill ya.

CARDINAL: You left your meds at home.

either blunt force trauma or gunshot wound.

Hey guys,

check this out.

Can I tell you how good I am?

Maggot casing?

Irrefutably.

What's so exciting?

The distance from the flesh.

Maggots will eventually fall off a dead body.

But this little guy

was eight feet from the corpse.

Right inside a footprint.

Looks like a work boot.

Like the one Terri saw at the cave maybe.

HARRIS: Size 10, I'd wager.

Yeah, but why would a guy have a maggot casing

on his boot?

DELORME: The guy has an extra incisor.

Rachel Wells bought heroin from a dealer

with a tooth like that.

She OD'd.

I'm sorry.

No one stood up for her.

You did.

DELORME: It wasn't enough.

Jordan, her boyfriend, said that she bought the drugs

at the Corner Pocket.

From a guy who had a,

what do you call it,

a snaggletooth?

So maybe he's one of the new dealers

trying to cut out the bikers.

Lasalle's boys find him,

beat some Intel out of him.

Shoot him.

Or the other way around.

You knock somebody out and then shoot him,

that's one kind of person.

You put two bullets in their brain

and then bash their head in,

what does that make you?

Sadistic.

Or maybe the owner of defective bullets.

I'm betting on both.

Thought you'd be happy.

I got no complaints with you

putting Lasalle out of business.

RAY: Hey, did it together, Alan.

No.

A couple bikers get roughed up in a turf war,

nobody looks too closely at that.

But the mutilation,

the sacrifice,

I can't be part of that, Ray.

You're a big part of it.

You've earned this.

It's just the beginning.

You know what, you keep it.

I'm out.

There is no out. Take it or leave it.

I held up my end of the deal.

You work for me now, Alan.

Alive or dead.

It's your choice.

So,

RAY: What else?

CLEGG: Been looking for Leon's truck.

(RAY CLEARS THROAT)

What about the redhead?

DELORME: Our shooting Vic.

There's only one "Toof" alias in Northern Ontario,

Morris Tilley.

Local. Low level pot dealer.

Is he connected with the Northern Raiders?

No, your son was murdered.

He's a sweet boy.

I don't know.

Ah, he moved out two months ago.

Was he living with anyone?

DELORME: But we didn't give you DNA.

We have the same DNA at both sites.

CARDINAL: Whose DNA?

The fly's.

DELORME: So the same species of fly can be found at both sites.

DR. CHIN: No.

The DNA of the same individual fly.

The maggot that came out of this casing,

found in the footprint at the second murder site,

has the same mother as dozens of other eggs

found at the first site.

CARDINAL: Chin's evidence confirms that Toof's killer

was also at the waterfall.

We're waiting on ballistics,

match the one in Terri's.

CLEGG: So you got one guy shooting people

And another guy who's chopping up his vics

DELORME: At least two.

Working together.

And the ritualistic one

likes to make his sacrifices under a new moon.

Sacrifices?

That's definitely not part of any Native ceremony

that I know of.

Any suspects?

CARDINAL: Toof's mom said he was staying with a "Leon"

and a,

a Native guy named "Northwind".

Doesn't ring any bells.

Northwind is a big name on the Moose Bay rez.

We think that the heroin's being shipped up

from a rez in Michigan, right?

(PULSING SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Yeah.

COMMANDA: This could be a brotherhood thing.

Native dealer wants to do business with his own people.

So he gets rid of the white guy.

CARDINAL: Could be how Northwind cuts out the bikers.

We have two days until the new moon.

We have to find Leon and Northwind before then.
