- We can talk about anything. - Mhmm.

- Not just about David's death. - Mhmm.

Mom!

Notice how the tension in your body

fuels your anxiety.

You may notice that your shoulders begin to lift.

If you've ever been in nature,

imagine yourself there now.

- Nature. Nature. Nature. - Nature.

You are a force of nature.

Yep, I'm a force of nature!

- You are a force of nature. - Yeah... yeah. I'm...

I'm a force of nature!

Jenny Cooper. I'm the new coroner.

Donovan McAvoy, Homicide.

We haven't touched the body, we were waiting for you.

Okay, thank you.

This is Detective Taylor Kim.

- 'Sup doc. - Hi.

Shit.

All right, let's have the body, boys.

- Is she praying? - Beats me?!

The noose looks like it was made from garbage bags.

No petechiae...

ligature mark is in a classic hanging orientation.

Rigour mortis in the jaw. She's been here a few hours.

- Who cut her down? - Guards.

Her nails are clean, not cracked,

no sign of a struggle.

It's a heel abrasion,

a fresh one.

I'm finished.

Send the body to the pathologist, please.

It's pretty grim.

It's prison.

Yeah. For children.

What can you tell me about the decedent?

Danielle Wills, 16.

Robbed a convenience store.

She has quite a record -

got bumped up from a group home.

She fits the profile.

Are you a profiler?

Suicide rates are high in these places.

Are we debating what happened here?

Open the door!

That's the warden.

Let me out, man!

Can I get your ah, your poky thing?

Poky thing?

Yeah, you, you,

you hit people with it? It's...

Can I have your baton?

Thanks.

I woke up and he was dead.

Nothing?

No?

Okay.

Well, if any of you like to speak to me privately,

don't be afraid to come forward.

Dismissed.

I hope your bodies will talk to you,

because silencio.

Found this over by the hoops.

Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet's part is underlined.

The ladder: Romeo and Juliet.

The balcony scene.

Elaine! Um,

were the kids doing a play?

Yes they were doing a play.

I bust my ass to get good programs in here.

GED, yoga, drama.

We're preparing these kids for life.

- For life. - For life.

Dr. Cooper!

Dr. Cooper! It's Alison Trent, we met last week!

Debbie, buzz her through, she's the new coroner!

You're late. Tick tick.

I think it's tick-tock?

No, it's tick tick.

Oh.

Dr. Peterson is waiting for you.

Did you take the Allen?

Because if you did, that's why you're late.

I prefer to touch elbows, it's more hygienic.

So these are your inmate suicides?

Yeah. The boy is Kevin Knuckles.

Good name.

He was found asphyxiated in his cell.

And Danielle Wills here,

she was found in the gymnasium, also hanged.

The knots are similar.

Are they similar or the same?

Forensics will tell us that.

Classic furrow.

Upwardly sloping compression mark with...

hm, suspension marking at the back of the neck.

There's no peri-ligature bruising, which suggests...

A self-inflicted wound.

What are you thinking, suicide pact?

Maybe. But um...

I'm interested in the abrasion on her heel.

She would've had to hit it pretty hard to get it.

She convulsed when she hanged.

Uh, she was actually suspended,

and her shoes were on when I found her so...

I don't think so.

You don't "think so".

I mean, I...

I had an instinct.

How can you have instincts when you don't know anything?

I'm sorry, what?

They're called "guesses".

What you're doing is guessing.

I've been a pathologist for 20-years.

And before this you were what...

a GP?

I was an ER doctor.

Mhmm. I stay competent,

year after year.

And the coroners just get younger and... more...

Look, how 'bout this.

I'll write up my findings and then you can sign off on them.

Okay?

I'm gonna start the Y-incision on the girl,

you can get going on the boy.

Sorry, um, when-when can I get the pathology report?

Hm. Late next week.

That's too slow. These kids died in custody,

there is gonna be an inquest.

Oh, now you want me to rush.

No, I want...

I would like, a thorough examination

of both their necks and her heel,

as soon as possible, please.

Dr. Allen.

I'll work on it.

Thank you.

So there's the boys' range and the girls' range?

They don't really get together, huh.

Sometimes we let 'em.

Like, when they're practicing for the play?

That play, what a bunch of bullshit.

I read it in Grade 11.

I don't know, whose idea was it to do a play

where two kids commit suicide.

You think the play gave them the idea?

Well, he was playing Romeo, she was playing Juliet.

Anyhow.

There's a hiring freeze on. We're understaffed.

As long as the kids don't bug us or fight,

we really don't pay much attention.

Did you do bed checks on Kevin?

Oh, man, I don't know.

Dude.

He's had a new baby. Just tell him.

I fell asleep at my desk.

No one saw anything.

It's a silent killer, like carbon monoxide.

- Thanks for the tour, gentlemen. - Mhmm.

I don't think you'll get much out of the mother.

Why? Is she too distraught?

She's too...

It's okay.

I'm Jenny Cooper. I'm the coroner.

Hi.

I've never identified a body before.

I'm so sorry, Simone.

Could you tell me about Danielle's state of mind?

Was she depressed?

She was herself,

just her regular self.

Um... oh.

Did she like being in the play?

Sorry. The play?

Uh, "Romeo and Juliet".

You didn't pack the diapers!

Can't you help me out for once?!

You gotta buy diapers, Simone.

Go change the baby.

You know I'm a detective, right?

Mhmm. That's why I know you can find some diapers.

Here. Come.

There you go.

There.

Hold it.

Give us a minute.

Can you tell me about the last time you visited Danielle.

She liked being there.

She was happy.

Does my little girl look okay?

No bruising. Bruising.

That's weird.

Are those dead people?

Don't look at this, okay? It's not appropriate.

Yeah. I don't want to look at them.

Are you sure you can even bring those home?

Do you want pineapple?

Do I?

Hey um...

do you and your friends ever talk about suicide?

Um...

yeah, not in like a proactive way

or like, a worrying way.

I like being alive, okay?

- Why? - It's just a case. I...

Oh, you have a case.

Mhmm.

- No. - Okay.

It just they're...

they're young kids. I'm trying to get inside their mind.

Figure out why they'd do something so desperate.

Oh. Uh...

- autopsy photos. Go. - Go?

- Don't look at them. - Okay.

You know,

I think the thing is, is that people forget that,

your passions run so high.

When you're a teenager?

Like nothing's ever neutral.

And you think things are neutral for me?

No.

You're sad.

Because of Dad.

Yeah.

I am.

And I know you're sad too.

Obvs.

There is not nearly enough pineapple on that pizza.

More pineapple.

I'll be right back.

- Pizza's ready. - Hey. Uh...

Your, your Dad didn't,

he didn't leave a key to the desk.

FUCK YOU!

Fuck!

I'm fine.

I could see you from the office.

Detective McAvoy is waiting for you?

Great.

- Hey. - Hey.

I thought we drive out together.

Okay.

That's because you know I don't need a warrant

to get back into the prison.

No... I just enjoy your company.

Are you...

are you gonna sing the whole time?

Are you gonna cry?

Investigating deaths isn't for everyone.

You're part of a fundamental truth of the human experience.

But aside from that, it can be gloomy.

And lonely.

It's kinda condescending when men give women advice.

It's not coming from that place.

You seem a little obsessive, and a little lonely.

And that can take you to a dark place.

There's no shame in saying, this isn't for me.

It is for me.

- How do you know? - I just know.

Your suicide pact theory doesn't make sense.

Even if they were playing Romeo and Juliet,

There's nothing to explaining the bruise on her heel.

And her Mother said that she was happy,

that she was doing well...

In here?

- Nobody's happy and well. - Yeah. Right.

Well, even so.

Kevin's roommate was the only one there when Kevin died.

- We talked to him. - He's not giving anything up.

You really think this is a love triangle.

I don't know that it wasn't.

All right. Well, I've got the thing to do.

So I'll see you on the other side.

I'm gonna need your holes.

Oh, that didn't sound good.

- Sabina. - Hey.

I saw your name on the staff list,

and I couldn't believe it. What...

Since when did you become a drama teacher.

Um, still a social worker.

The drama people all bailed actually.

The warden cancelled the play.

So what can you tell me about Danielle and Kevin?

Well, Kevin was Antifa,

antifascist.

He was all about the future.

That doesn't sound like a drama kid.

He came for Danielle.

The play was her life.

Yeah, we're mourning.

Sabina, can I ask you something?

Okay.

Hey.

Sneax, right.

- Yeah, Hi. - Hi.

Oops.

Were you into Danielle?

No.

Maybe for a minute but not now.

Why are you in here?

I was in my cousin's car and we got stopped.

But I didn't do anything,

wrong place wrong time.

Yeah.

Can we finish now because I have a,

a lineup of people in my office,

waiting for me. I have...

Explain to me again

why you didn't send us over the CCTV?

There isn't any.

Every two weeks,

the drive on the central command post gets wiped.

This just happened to happen after two kids died?

It's on an automatic timer.

We have no control over it.

Excuse me.

This is Jenny,

we went to University together.

And she's joining us

because she wants to know more about Kevin and Danielle.

She's a good people,

you can trust her.

I'm really sorry

that your friends died.

So if uh...

if there's anything that you would like to share...?

Danielle was a really great actress,

that's what I know.

She was gonna be amazing in the play.

I'm not supposed to have this,

but I made a like, tribute.

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,

and palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss.

Try it again.

Let me try it again. Yeah. Okay.

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

No.

No, try again.

Okay.

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

Aye, pilgrim, lips they must use in prayer.

Well, then dear Saint, let lips do what hands do.

That's the real R&J for you!

What are you doing?

Sneax?

Hey! Sneax! Sneax! Can you hear me?

He's OD-ing!

- Somebody turn the lights on! - Give him space.

- I'm getting Naloxone. - Give it to me.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay, Sneax.

Here.

I got it.

Oh my...

I need another one. It's okay, Sneax.

Oh!

Holy shit.

Don't-don't let me die.

It's okay. You're okay.

Okay? I won't.

Okay?

Nobody touch the barf!

The CCTV's all been erased.

Here. Let me help you with that.

Well, one thing I do know.

Sneax didn't murder Kevin.

Maybe this job is for you.

This is vomit.

From a kid who OD'd on some kind of drug.

- Blood test would be better. - Yeah, I know,

but I don't have time for the legal rigamarole,

and it would have been out of his system by then.

Hey, come here.

Detective McAvoy said that the footage from the CCTV

in the detention centre was erased.

Can you go through the Attorney General

and get a court order to search their servers?

Technically, yes, but it'll take months.

So practically, no. But I could...

Hold on one second.

Uh, Dr. Peterson?

I need to discuss your pathology report.

You didn't do an examination of Danielle's heel abrasion.

It didn't seem relevant.

Well, I told you to do it.

You're the one who wanted speedy results.

And Kevin's neck tissue...?

I mean, you say here that the neck injuries

are consistent with auto-strangulation,

but I saw on autopsy photos

that post-mortem bruising had come up.

Which is consistent with someone else strangling him,

and there is no mention of that in here.

I made a judgment call.

No examination of Danielle's neck either.

I mean, come on, these are children!

I did toxicology.

Your dead girl had traces of Fentanyl in her system.

She was high when she died?

She was an addict who hanged herself.

- And the boy followed suit. - NO! Don't!

We are supposed to speak for the dead,

and how am I supposed to do that with...

with this?

I wanna re-examine Kevin and Danielle bodies myself.

You can't. I released them.

What?

I released them.

- You're fired. - Excuse me?

Congratulations, Dr. Allen,

you're promoted to senior pathologist,

You can't fire me!

You're arrogant. You cut corners.

And you are not gonna change.

It is you or it is me. And it is not me.

Where are the bodies now?

- Hi. - Hey.

You missed the funeral.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

I um...

I need you to release Danielle's body back to me.

There was a problem with the postmortem.

And I...

I'm sorry. I know this isn't good time.

You want me to give you back her body?

There was a mistake.

She died!

She was high when she died.

No! She was a happy, well-adjusted girl!

And how would you know?

You never visited her.

The play was her life, Simone.

And you didn't know about it.

Okay. So that makes me think that you didn't go visit her.

So this whole "she's happy, she's fine",

that is a fantasy

because you don't want to know the truth!

The system took my kid!

You can't have her back!

Come on.

Come on, Jenny.

Hey.

Thanks.

Hi.

Tissue from the heel of Danielle Wills.

I'd like a proper dissection of it please.

Where did you get this?

Don't ask.

I like more proper samples, in the future.

Got it.

I did a quick dipstick on your barf.

I'll wait for toxicology to confirm,

but uh, it tested positive for Fentanyl.

And... drum roll please Carfentanil.

Carfentanil's a 1000 times stronger than Fentanyl.

We were getting 10 ODs a week in the ER.

Nobody knows what they're taking,

and nobody knows what they're making.

I want you to re-test Danielle's blood

- for Carfentanil. - You think she OD'd?

Well, if that heel abrasion was post-mortem, I do.

Another body.

Let me know as soon as the results come in.

Hey.

Thanks.

Okay.

Hey! You can't be up there!

I'm cutting down a branches.

Yeah. No. I'm the coroner, you can't be up there

while I'm doing an investigation!

The police are inside.

They didn't seem worried about me.

Are you...

Mrs. Panychs' son?

No, She was 90.

I'm doing some work for her. Or for...

someone I guess, no-one now.

That's a joke.

Yeah. Uh...

I have to go.

All right. I get it, you're the coroner.

Hey.

You wanna go get a beer?

- Here you go. - Thanks.

I'm a widow!

What?

I'm a, I'm a widow!

- Okay. - Yeah.

I'm sorry, I don't-I don't know why I'm telling you this.

What, what um,

how did your husband die?

An aneurysm.

He was uh...

he was only 40.

Um... I'm sorry.

I didn't know. I just...

You...

Come on, you knew I was married.

No.

You know what?

- Maybe this is weird conversation... - No! No!

My husband spent all our money before he died!

Yeah. He had a gambling problem.

So he took out a second mortgage, he gambled that away!

He didn't pay our life insurance premiums.

So I'm-I'm gonna have to sell my house!

And...

Oh...

Um...

So uh, what about... you?

You smell like... travel.

Oh. Uh...

I was in the army.

Afghanistan.

What did-what did you do there?

I killed a bunch of people.

Uh, so sorry.

This is, it's work,

I've just gonna... a minute.

- I'll be right back. - Yeah. Sure.

Thanks.

Hey, thanks. Uh,

thanks for the beer.

How did you get your scar?

My ex-girlfriend gave it to me.

And you?

Where'd you get this?

I don't remember.

So Danielle had Carfentanyl in her system?

Uh... yep.

It wasn't on her tox screen.

Because we didn't test for it until Sneax OD'd.

Dr. Allen examined Danielle's heel wound.

It was made post-mortem.

Walk me through your thinking.

- Carfentanil acts fast. - She OD's.

Whoever gave her the drugs covers it up,

making it look like a hanging.

In the process, she gets dragged across the floor,

injuring her heel.

- Kevin sees it. - They kill him too.

Mhmm.

And then they erase the CCTV.

This is my theory.

Go on in. Go on the other side of this door.

Don't worry, I won't hurt you.

All right.

This is how guards cuff the kids.

Can you move?

Not really.

I pull you... gently.

Now I have complete control over your physicality.

Someone slips behind, strangles you,

what can you do?

Nothing.

We have a witness.

Three minutes.

Danielle was using drugs.

Yeah. And Kevin knew about it.

Who gave her the drugs?

Was it the same people who gave you the drugs,

when you OD'd?

There is two of them.

They give kids drugs sometimes.

What do they ask for in return?

Nothing.

They just make sure you take them.

Who was in the cell?

Hey...

Sneax... please.

Hawk.

The older guard.

- Thanks, man. - Thank you.

All right.

Nobody gives something for nothing.

They're experimenting on these kids.

Yeah. Using them as guinea pigs

to get the dosage on their drugs right.

I'm exhuming Kevin's body.

Siddiq, that's your name, right?

Did you really run around with the Weston crew?

That's what they say.

You don't look much like them.

No tats, no flags.

Whatever. Sneax is all about sneaking through.

Well, you're getting out of here soon so.

If there's something you need,

look me up.

If I get stopped,

I just end up back in anyway.

Like Romeo said,

you can't outrun your name.

Sneax... Peace.

Mr. Hawk.

The Police. We have you surrounded.

Put your hands on your head and walk out the door.

First, I wanna thank you

for the permission you gave me to exhume Kevin's body.

He didn't hang himself.

The police have suspects in custody.

And I am ruling his death a homicide.

Get him out of here.

Danielle died of an overdose.

But the men who gave her the drugs knew that it was bad.

And they covered up her death to make it look like a suicide.

So I'm also ruling her death a homicide.

But there is something else

that I wanted to tell you.

Your children were in love.

And...

they wrote their own poetry.

"" Dear Danielle,

you are the stars and the moon,

"and everything that shines."

"Dear Kevin",

you are fire

you make my heart melt

you are fire

you make the earth warm under my feet.

Sneax.

Ahem.

Hi, I uh,

I like to put an offer in on a house.

It uh...

no, it hasn't been listed yet.

It's-it's out of the city.

Yeah. Yeah.

It'll be new listing,

the uh, the owner just died.

So I'll,

I'll email you the address.

Okay. Thanks.

Ahem.

Hello.

Dr. Cooper, it's Donovan McAvoy.

Detective.

Those two kids wouldn't have peace

if you hadn't fired Dr. Peterson.

I...

I sense a "but" coming.

Have you considered the magnitude of doing that,

down the line?

You mean, do I plan to further reopen

Dr. Peterson's cases?

Unearthing the past.

Can cause a lot of problems for a lot of people.

I like being a problem.

Hmm. Me too.

Good night, detective.

'Night.
