There are no changes.

(crowd chattering)

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> Sure.

>> Mr. Mayor, I just wanted
to say congratulations

and good luck.
>> Thank you.

>> I wanna grab a minute of
your time to introduce you

to a friend of mine.

He's with the
breeder's association.

They contributed
to your campaign

last year.
>> Oh yeah, thanks for...

>> Roger Woo, Dominic Da Vinci.

>> We're all really looking
forward to working with

to try and save the track
here from going under.

>> I'm looking to
see how that goes.

>> We're hoping you can get
some slot machines in here.

Increase attendants, put some
more money in their purses.

Save a lot of jobs.

>> Well, like I say,
we'll have to see

how things develop right there

but I'm pretty confident.

>> I'd like you to meet someone.

He's got a casino license.

They'd love to be
involved in that.

>> I'd love to,
but another time.

I've gotta get down to
the winners' circle.

I'm addressing the
winner of the first race.

You can just call
my office, okay?

Richard?
>> I'll be in touch.

>> Track Announcer:
Your attention please.

>> Mayor.

>> How you doing Lloyd?

(trumpet drowns
out announcement)

Decorating the
winner of this race

will be our newly elected mayor.

(crowd chatters)

Ladies and gentlemen,

decorating the winner
of tonight's race,

let's give a warm
Hastings welcome

to the new mayor-elect
of Vancouver,

Dominic Da Vinci!

(crowd cheers)

>> Mr. Mayor.

Lloyd Manning
wants to say hello.

>> Sure.

>> Uh, no.

Lloyd Manning?

Don't promise him anything.

Not even a meeting.

He's gonna try to corner you.

>> Okay so no promises.

>> No promises.
>> All right.

>> And say hello to
the Singhs and the Woos

on your way back up.

Lumber, real estate.
>> Okay.

>> Track Announcer: The
horses have now reached

the starting gate.

It is almost time.

>> Da Vinci: Hey Lloyd.

>> Hey, Dominic.

>> You sent for me?

>> Yep.
>> How you doing?

Who's this?

>> This is Ed.
>> How do you do?

>> Tracy, Leo,
>> Hi nice to meet you.

You look great.

>> You know Glenn.

>> How you doing?

Don't listen to him,

'cause he won't know anything.
(Lloyd laughs)

How you doing?

>> Good.

>> Is everything okay?

>> It looks like we're
having some problems,

(conversation is
drowned out by crowd)

We're having some problems.

I know that you
really screwed me

and I wanna set things straight.

>> What kinda problems
are you having?

>> Well...
>> How could I screw you?

I just got elected.

>> Well the thing...

(bell rings)
(horse hooves pounding)

>> You, and the city,
and everyone in it.

I wanna clear things up.
>> I hear what you're saying.

Just gonna...
>> Really, serious?

>> We'll talk later.

Now's not the time, eh?

(crowd cheering)

You good?

You like that suit didn't you?

Is that what you said before?

I want to thank you so
much for your contribution

in the campaign.

Any luck tonight?

You play these?

I've never seen you here.

How's it going?

Is this your friend?

How you doing?

Your brother?

Nice to meet you, I've
heard nice things about you.

We'll get together soon okay?

He says we screwed him.

How did we screw him?

>> Looks like I'm
about to find out.

Hi, what do you have here?

(conversation is
drowned out by crowd)

(horse hooves pounding)

(crowd cheers)

>> Did you win?

>> Yeah!

>> Oh my god!

(police radio chatter)

>> Police Officer:
I'm sorry ma'am,

you can't come
through right now.

You're gonna have to go around.

>> Excuse me.

>> I'm with the
coroner's service.

>> Excuse me?

>> I'm the coroner.

Where's the machete?

Where's the weapon?

Where's the machete?

>> I don't know.

Somebody picked it
up and bagged it.

>> Somebody bagged it?

You wanna find out who that was?

Where's homicide, they here yet?

>> I think they just rolled in.

>> Okay, you wanna find
out who's got that weapon?

For future reference I'd
like to take a good look

at the scene before you guys
start carting shit away.

No ID?

Who's running the show here?

Who's controlling the...

(police radio chatter)

No, this is just
a bit too sloppy.

>> Excuse me, detective.

You got a minute?

>> Angela: Sure.

>> Heya Joe.

How are you?

Congratulations.

>> Thanks.

>> There anything you
can tell me so far?

The chief wants to be up
to the minute on this.

>> We only just landed.

We haven't talked to
any witnesses yet.

>> Okay, well I'm around.

Keep me posted.

Hey!

Hey!

>> Throwing the firelight
up on this one pretty quick.

>> Yeah, this is
gonna be a long one.

>> No comments to
anyone on this, yeah?

Let's just keep our mouths shut.

>> Reporter: What gay activists

are already calling
another hate crime.

Spokesperson and newly-elected
city counselor Jason Horne

vowed to continue
to push the issue.

In other news,

homeless activists were
busy in the downtown area

early this morning,
staging a rally in...

(radio shuts off)

>> Morning Mr. Mayor.

>> Morning.

I can get my own door, eh?

>> It's not a problem, sir.

>> Get on it.
>> 'Kay.

>> Honeymoon's over,
shit has started to fly.

>> Da Vinci: Good morning.

>> Sam: Yeah.

>> So we're still,
the school breakfast?

Is that still on?

>> Yeah, but there's been
a police-involved shooting

at a halfway house for
drug-addicted mental patients.

One of the residents was shot
to death on the front lawn.

The switchboard's already
lighting up about it.

>> So we want to
do what about that?

>> Well the neighbors
have been complaining

for the last six months.

They want it shut down.

The police want it shut down,

but we got half a dozen more
houses opening across the city

over the next year
on the same program.

If this blows up it's gonna
make that not so easy.

The province and the feds
are in for a lot of dough,

so we gotta keep it open.

So you might want to put
in an appearance down there

to keep things calm.

>> I'm not sure I wanna go
stepping on people's toes

my first week in office.

Can't we just see
where this goes?

>> At least maybe put in a
call to your buddy the chief,

ask him to keep his press
comments to a minimum.

>> Right, my buddy.

You got your phone?

Oh, I got it, I got it.

So what's happening
after the school?

>> Our friend Lloyd Manning.

>> That was fast.

>> Yeah sure, he
latches on like a tick.

>> School breakfast, I am
getting breakfast there.

>> Mm-hmm.

Pancake breakfast,
it'll be great.

>> Okay that's great,

I'm starving.
(phone beeping)

(phone rings)

>> Da Vinci: That you Bill?

>> No, it's Charlie.

>> Da Vinci: Give me the
chief, can I talk to the chief?

>> Yeah, hang on.

It's the mayor.

>> Dominic?

>> Da Vinci: Hey, how you doing?

We got a situation with
the police shooting.

I just heard.

>> I'm down there now
as a matter of fact.

>> I'm just asking you

if you could please refrain
from making any comments

to the press about
the situation.

>> We've been
taking it up the ass

on these police-involved
shootings

and I'm not gonna sit back

and let the press
spin it back on us

or the coroner's office
take potshots at my people,

two of whom were attacked
by a machete an hour ago.

There is media bias Dominic.

I'm not playing
the game anymore.

>> You go reacting
like this every time.

You go blaming the media

every time something
like this happens.

They just come back at
you harder the next time.

That house has got to stay open.

These folks need housing.

>> Listen to me.

I am standing by
my people on this.

>> I'm just suggesting you let
the coroner buy you some time.

There's gonna be
a public inquiry.

There always is on
stuff like this.

Let the coroner take
some of the heat off.

Can you do that?

>> This is not a
coroner's investigation.

It's a homicide and we
are investigating it.

>> I'm just saying let
him run some interference

and if your guys end up
being culpable on this...

>> How the hell are
we culpable on this?

You got an addicted
lunatic threatening people

in the neighborhood with a
machete for Christ's sake!

>> Recovering, recovering.

That's the whole point of this.

They're not addicted anymore.

They're recovering.

>> Yeah, all right.

Okay, that's fine, you can
call it whatever you want,

but I want that house shut down

and taking a backseat is
not gonna help that agenda.

>> Okay, as far as the house
goes, Bill, here it is, okay?

You do not set civic policy.

That's just not your job.

You know how many
police chiefs we've had

in the last 10 years Bill?

>> Yeah okay, good
talking to you.

(reporters chattering)

Ladies and gentlemen,
how are you?

>> That escalated pretty good.

You can do zero to
60 pretty quick.

>> Okay.

Do you wanna get hold of the
coroner down there for me?

(funky music)

(car horn honks)

Hey, thanks.

(car door slams)

(Da Vinci laughs)

>> Hello sir.

>> How you doing?

>> Good.

(children chattering)

>> Did you not want
any syrup on that?

You hardly have any.

>> Sir I need you to
meet the principal here.

Her name is Lisa Lundquist.

>> You gotta get going, eh?

>> Yes.
>> Okay.

Well it's very nice
to meet you all.

Doing okay?

Okay. (laughs)

>> Dominic, this
is Lisa Lundquist.

She is the principal here.

>> Hi.
>> How do you do?

>> Pleasure to meet you.

Thanks for coming.
>> Well it's a pleasure

to meet you.

I've heard so many
great things about you.

>> Thanks.
>> Can I get two?

>> Yep.
>> All right, thank you.

I've been looking forward to
your pancakes all morning.

(Mrs. Lundquist laughs)

>> Here's some syrup.

>> Really appreciate
some of the things

that you're doing down here,

especially these meals.

But you have a situation?

>> Yeah, yeah I do.

Do you think we can?

Well, we've got quite a--

>> Bye-bye, see you
later, nice to meet y'all!

>> Bye!

>> Got quite a
significant aboriginal student population here

and over the past year or
so we've had a real problem

with pimps approaching
the young girls,

the grade six and sevens, and
seducing them into the trade.

>> And there's a park being
planned for the other side there

and Lisa's concerned
that it might

become a bit of a hangout
for the pimps and the dudes.

>> What, you don't want a park?

>> Yeah, yeah.

You know, we're really between
a rock and a hard place here.

I mean, we don't want
to turn the school

into some kinda armed camp
with a lotta police presence,

and we could really
use the green space,

but it's gonna be a problem.

I mean, I can see them
out there every day,

cruising the school, it's
not even eight o'clock.

>> And the kiddie
stroll's just a block away

on the other side.

>> Okay, well where's the
park support on this issue,

do you know?

>> Well they've
been planning a park

on the other side of the
school there for years

at the neighborhood's request.

>> Well that was then.

The neighborhood's
changed since then.

>> In the meantime the kiddie
stroll's moved up there

and the crackdown on the
downtown east side shifted a lot

of the drug dealing right
up Commercial Drive.

And now the school's
caught in the middle.

>> You know, I'd hate
to lose the green space.

I also lobbied for the park,

but I'm just terrified
that it's gonna end up

with the dealers taking it over.

>> I'll see what I can do.

I'll get hold of the parks board

and just see where
they're at with this.

I'm not sure that we can even
do anything at this point,

but I'll certainly find that out

and I'll get back to you

as soon as I can.
>> Okay, thank you.

(ship horn blares)

>> Guy was out walking
his dog like usual.

Dog takes off into the woods,

he can't call it back
so he follows him in

and finds him sniffing at it.

>> You find anything else
out here with the remains?

>> Not so far.

Thought I'd let
you do your thing.

>> I will when
you find anything.

>> Right through here.

Right back here.

>> Okay.

Oh yeah, there we go.

Yeah, looks like a femur.

>> It's pretty small, I
figured a small woman or a kid.

>> Yeah, maybe.

Looks like maybe some
animal got ahold of it

and chewed on it a little.

Coyotes run through here.

Okay.

Tape off the trail head

and see if you can keep this
end of the woods off-limits

for a while.

(upbeat music)

>> Da Vinci: How did
we ever screw Manning?

Did you ever find that out?

>> It wasn't us.

It was the last administration,

stiffed him on a city ad
contract he's had for 15 years.

>> Excuse me. Oh yeah?

>> He's screaming somebody
from the previous council

took a bribe from
the competition.

He's gonna sue the city
for lost future revenue.

>> So it has nothing
to do with me.

>> Yeah, I don't know,
it's worth a meeting.

After that we have city
staff introductions,

chief of police, city planner,

I wrote up a press
release for you.

>> It's the coroner.

>> Is it?

Mick.

Thanks, you got it?

How's it going down there?

>> I'm just trying to
get a handle on things.

>> Okay, you gotta
do me a favor, okay?

Would you just get
over there by the chief

and just see if you can
get him to defer to you

in terms of comments
to the press?

I'm afraid he's
gonna say something,

put his foot in it.

>> Yeah, it's a bit
too late for that.

He's already doing it.

They're gonna be
coming after me next.

>> Well you know what to do.

>> Sam: Oh, Julia.

>> Jacobs, what a prick.

>> Oh, Dominic, I'd like to
introduce Julia Forsythe,

the city administrate.

I don't know if you
two have met yet.

>> Oh yeah, we've
met several times.

How you doing?

>> Good.

>> Nice to see you.
>> Good morning.

>> Good morning.

>> We have to talk about
the fire department.

>> Fire department, okay,
well give Rita a shout

to do whatever you need to.

>> Okay, great.
>> I look forward to it.

>> Yes.

>> Sam: After you.

>> You know, Lou, you
drag a body someplace,

you wanna drag it downhill.

It's faster and easier.

Or if you're lost and tired,
you're going downhill.

Oh.

Here we go.

Here we go, eh?

And there we go.

You got that skull?

All right.

Yeah, we got something.

>> I thought since I do so
much business in the city

we might as well get
to know each other.

Remember Don Glenn?

>> Sure do.

I remember him from the
track the other night.

He was the only one
cashing as I remember.

>> Lloyd: Big winner.

>> I'll have to take
pointers from you.

>> Listen, I don't know
if anybody's briefed you

on our situation.

>> Well the way I understand it,

this has to do with the contract
that didn't go your way.

>> I've had the advertising
contract with the city

for almost 17 years
with no complaints.

I underbid the winning bid
by a very substantial margin.

This new company's not even
Canadian, let alone local.

What happened?

>> Well as I understand things,
council voted the other way.

>> Council's votes were bought.

>> Rita: That's a pretty
serious allegation.

>> Da Vinci: Got
evidence to back that up?

>> Glenn: It's there.

>> Da Vinci: Why wouldn't
you go to the police

with this one?

>> We thought we might
try to resolve this

a little less publicly.

>> Sam, Rita, would you
mind taking Mr. Glenn,

offer him a cup of coffee?

>> Course.

>> Thank you very much.

Want something Lloyd?

You're good?

Rita?

Okay, well I'm
just interested...

Kinda new at this, in real
terms what would that contract,

losing that contract
mean to you?

>> Over the next 10
years, tens of millions.

It's lost revenue to the city,

lost revenue to our country as--

>> Lot of money.

You're seeking what?

Damages from us?

>> I want the contract back.

>> Well if you give me a
look at some of that evidence

that's there, I'll
start looking into it.

That's the best
I can do for now.

How's that?

>> That's very good.

>> Da Vinci: Okay.

>> I'll have Don contact you.

>> Okay.

>> Listen, thanks a lot.

I really appreciate your time.

>> Well my door's always open.

>> I hope this works out.

>> Me too.

>> Dominic.

>> Thanks Lloyd.

>> You really can't be making
deals behind closed doors.

>> I wasn't making any deals
behind any closed doors.

>> You just want us there taking
notes in case somebody says

you promised something
that you didn't.

That is what we're here for.

>> All right.
>> Did you promise something?

>> Nope, just an
open conversation.

No deals were made.

>> Okay well maybe next time

we can handle it
a bit differently.

This is your protection
we're talking about.

>> I'll take it
under advisement.

>> What's the matter with you?

You look like you
lost your best friend.

>> (sighs) Thomas Stern,

the campaign manager for
the previous two mayors,

apparently committed
suicide last night.

>> Thomas Stern?

Sorry to hear that.

>> Yeah, me too.

If there was influence in
awarding the ad contract,

he would've been the
one to handle it.

We're not gonna be getting
any information there.

>> Suicide?

That's harsh.

>> It's a bit of a shocker.

Bit of a shocker.

Right?

(buttons clicking)

>> Hey.

Did you hear about Tom Stern?

(car engine starts)

>> You guys didn't get a chance

to talk to the constables, huh?

>> Nah, they were in the
ambulance and gone pretty quick.

>> I got statements from two
patients here in that house

who spoke to the victim an
hour before the incident.

They say he was playing
music in his room real loud.

They went down, asked
him to turn it down.

They said he was cooperative,
didn't seem agitated.

But the music started up
again about an hour later.

>> I got the other
neighbors over here.

The woman in the basement
seat was watching TV

and saw the whole thing.

Guy in the basement in this
house heard his dog bark

and so he came out
and saw most of it.

Now, the lady says she
heard the loud music

and made a noise
complaint about 3:40.

The cruiser arrived,

cannot pinpoint the
music was coming from

because it wasn't playing
when they arrived.

They went around the side
of the house over there.

>> The victim's living where?

Right here in the basement?

>> Yeah, just right
here in front.

>> The next thing she knows,

the victim comes down the
other side of the house

with the machete, yelling.

The neighbor's dog
is going crazy,

barking at him and
the constables.

He slips on the lawn,

takes a couple swipes
at the constables,

and that's when the
gunfire started.

>> What about the
guy with the dog?

What's he saying?

>> Well now, he says the whole
thing started in the street,

but the constables fired first.

And that's when the guy started
attacking with the machete.

>> He see which constable fired?

>> Nah, he just heard the shots.

Can't say who it was.

>> All right.

Okay, I guess we all know

this one's gonna be
under a lot of scrutiny.

I'm gonna be asking you guys
to let me know what you learn

as you learn it, if that's okay.

>> Sure.

Sure, yeah, we're just
gonna hang here for a bit,

knock on a few more doors.

See you.

>> See you later, Joe.

>> Oh, I got a little problem

with what Manning
has been saying

about the advertising
contract with the city.

Okay, now correct
me if I'm wrong,

but the voting, specifically
on the bids for that contract,

that's done by
council in private.

Right?
>> Yes, that was in-camera.

>> Okay, well he's
going around saying

that he's aware that
he had the lower bid.

How would he know that

if it's all done in private?
>> Well somebody in council

would have had to tell him

what the other bid was.
>> Exactly.

We've got leaks springing
from the council.

So what I wanna do is,

right away, is I wanna start
interviewing these councilors

and I wanna find out
>> Actually, what if you

>> how my ship's running.
>> let me do the interviews?

>> No, I do the interviews.

>> Rita: No.
>> No, well if it's bad news,

if it's our people you
don't wanna know about it.

It's better.
>> We have three people

who were on council when
that contract was awarded

and they could be complicit.

>> Right.

Okay, I'll bring it up at
the next caucus meeting.

You can handle the interviews?
(phone ringing)

>> Good idea.
>> All right.

And those gotta get upstairs--

>> Hello?

>> Let's go.
>> You guys go,

I gotta take this, okay?

Yes, hello.

Jason.

(door creaks)

>> Lou: (sighs) Hey.
>> Hi.

>> How you doing?

>> Claire: Good.

>> Is he busy?
>> Claire: Go ahead.

>> Yeah.

Hey, you got a minute?

>> Yeah, Lou, hey.

What do you got?

>> Listen, we found some
remains out in the woods

near the university.

I printed up some
of the photos here.

Small skeleton.

>> Oh yeah, look at that.

>> I don't know how
long it's been there.

Anyway, I was checking the
location on the computer,

and I found that there was

another set of
remains found there

about five years ago.

>> Really?

>> So I thought maybe
it could be a relation.

'Cause you can see some
of the pictures look like

it could've came from
the same location.

>> Yeah, they do.

I'm gonna check that out.

>> Lou: Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> Well that's bullshit.

Absolute bullshit to
have a facility like that

in a residential neighborhood.

>> Okay, what we don't
want is to turn incident

into a big campaign
that's gonna put the blame

firmly at the feet

of the entire mental patient
community here, okay?

We can't do that.

This house has functioned
without incident for six months.

I'm willing to bet money
it'll be the only incident

that ever occurs there.

>> Well all I can say is

thank God no innocent
people were killed.

>> Well before we go condemning
the victim as guilty,

can we just complete
the investigation?

Come on.
>> I'm not backing off on this.

It's not the way we should
be dealing with these people

and you know it.

>> See, that's
public health policy.

The police do not
set civic policy.

How do I make this
clear to this man?

>> We have a couple other
things to talk about.

Should we maybe move on?

Okay?
>> Okay,

let's talk about making
a joint statement

about how we're
gonna work together

to make the city a safer place.

>> All right.

>> Okay, fine.

Well see, one of my campaign
promises, there we go,

is about the community
police stations.

We wanna get them back
into the community.

What's your proposal
on how we do that?

>> Give me the people, I'll
put them in the community.

>> There's no money to
give you any more people.

>> That's not my problem.

>> Yes it is your problem.

You gotta find a way
within the budget

to put more guys on the street.

You gotta cut overtime.

You gotta do whatever
you have to do.

You cannot keep
running over budget.

>> I want more officers.

You want more officers.

Not only are you not willing
to give me more money,

you want me to spend less.

>> That's it exactly.

You gotta find a way to
deal with the situation

within the budget.

We're getting somewhere here.

This is beautiful.

>> As long as you keep
on giving us problems

like these halfway houses,

I'm gonna need more constables.

>> Fine, fine, just do
that within the budget.

>> Well that's impossible.

Can't be done.

>> As a matter of fact, I want
a proposal from you, Bill.

I want it at the next
police board meeting

on how you're planning to
get these community stations

back up and running.

>> Like I said,
it can't be done.

>> If you can't do it, you're
gonna have to explain why

at the board meeting.

Take it easy.

>> Get the head of the union
on the phone for me, will you?

>> Captain.

>> They'll wanna know
the mayor's going after their overtime.

>> Could you get hold of
the city administrator,

make an appointment for me?

I'd love to get a
look at this budget

so I know what he's
actually talking about.

>> Thank you, this is mine?

>> Yep.

>> You got this for me?

That's nice of you.

>> (laughs) Couple
things developing

you might want to know about.

The homeless activists
wanna talk to you.

>> You made a big about
their housing issues

during the campaign.

You might want to address that.

>> 'Kay, what else?

>> Jason Horne wants us
to meet him at the lagoon.

He wants to talk
about the gay-bashing.

>> Alleged gay-bashing.

>> Call a spade a spade.

>> Call a spade a spade?

Then why does he want me to
meet him down at the park?

>> He wants you
to be seen there.

He thinks it'll bring attention

to the case, let people know
>> Exactly.

>> it's an important issue.
>> People are aware

this is an important issue.

>> It's a favor he's asking.
>> It's a favor,

there's no harm in
chalking up a few of those.

>> I know what he wants, okay?
>> And it's his constituency.

He wants to let
people know he cares.

>> I'm not talking to media.
>> Just make an appearance.

It won't take long.

>> I don't want to talk
to media about this,

not at this time.
>> Hey.

You got time, why don't
you go talk to Jason.

I'll see what the
homeless guys want, okay?

>> You know what
they want, don't you?

They want homes.

>> So what do you got here?

>> Oh, it's another case of
some remains found out here

about five years ago.

>> Five years ago?

Yeah, I don't think
I was on that one.

>> No?

Well some guy found a skull,

thought he'd take
it home with him.

Thinks it's aboriginal,
nobody's gonna miss it.

You believe it?

These are the case
file photos right here.

I just wanna see how far
apart these sites are.

Maybe they're together.

>> Well, nothing
much has changed.

That's the trail
head right there.

>> Yeah, right there right?

>> Yeah.

>> I think we can find this.

Wanna take a look?

>> Sure.

So how's the new gig?

>> Oh yeah, pretty good.

Lot of bedtime reading,
I'll tell you that.

>> Yeah, I'll bet.

They got me doing homicide.

>> Yeah, I thought you
would wanna do homicide.

>> Yeah, I know, but Leo
retired, you moved on,

Rose took a job back east,

and all the sudden--

(melancholy music
drowns out speaker)

>> What is your concern?

>> Well, my concern is that
the police aren't treating this

as a hateful attack
despite the obvious.

Everybody knows this
is a gay stroll.

Half the world knows it.

>> What makes you think they're
not treating it that way?

>> Well the first murder wasn't
prosecuted as a hate crime

'cause the crown said
there wasn't any evidence.

Now, I followed that
case quite closely.

I don't think they asked
the right questions.

I don't think they did
the right approach.

I'm concerned they're gonna
do the same thing again.

>> You know, I can't
really get in there

and try and direct
this investigation, eh?

>> No, but you
could maybe report

to my constituents
in the west end.

They're demanding that this
be locked in as a hate crime.

Now I don't know if
it's a hate crime.

I don't want it to be.

But I just think the police
need to be pushed a little bit

given previous experience.

>> Well, what I could do is
I could give homicide a call.

I can make them aware that
the community's concerned.

>> Sure it'll have a lot
more weight coming from you.

>> I got a question for you.

>> Sure.

>> What are your feelings
about putting in the slots

down at the racetrack
at Hastings Park there?

>> What are your feelings?

>> I think the
slots are necessary.

I think we put the
slots in down there,

we keep the jobs, we need them.

And if we don't, we're
gonna lose the track

and the jobs of the perps

and the Vancouver
Institution, too.

>> Those are my feelings.

>> So if it comes
down to a vote,

you'd come down the yes side?

>> Sure, I got no
problem with that.

>> Great.

>> Well, I don't know why
they didn't find this one

five years ago.

It's buried ten feet
from the other one.

>> Yeah.

And now you're
looking for two kids.

Probably related, yeah?

>> Well they're about
the same size, who knows?

>> How do you want
to treat the scene?

Want me to start a
homicide file on it?

>> I guess you could
get the guys down here

from your old crew.

Take a good look around,

make sure we didn't miss
anything else, yeah.

I'll go back over
missing persons,

start looking for a
pair of aboriginal kids.

>> Yeah.

>> Here we go.

>> Raj, Shakil.

At the end of the
last session here,

the council right
at the last minute.

They reached a decision
I find kind of...

They awarded the city
advertising contract

which is six, seven
million dollars eh,

to a new firm, a
Pacificon Media.

Now, that contract used to
be awarded to Lloyd Manning.

I'm sure you're aware
of Lloyd Manning, right?

Now, you were in
council last year.

Could you shed any light for me

as to why that might
have happened that way?

>> Yeah, Pacific presented
an attractive deal.

And it was generally felt
by council that Manning

wasn't getting the most
out of the budget for us.

>> Well I've heard allegations

Pacificon was throwing some
money around out there.

Who was in on that decision?

>> It was made at an
in-camera meeting.

>> It was?

Well, details of that
meeting got leaked out,

'cause Lloyd Manning knew that
he submitted the lowest bid.

And that's just
one of the reasons

why he wants to sue
the city right now.

>> Look, Pacificon Media came
up here, not just to Vancouver,

they hit Edmonton,
Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto,

all the major
cities, and you know,

they scored
advertising contracts

in most of those places as well.

They're big, they're
good at what they do.

>> So what do you think?

Was there shit in our game?

>> Look, I don't know.

I mean I know that
Pa-con donated something

to the campaign,
contribution campaign fund

of previous mayor.

How much that was, I don't know.

>> What was the contract bond?

That's all I'm looking for is,

what's your honest
feeling there?

>> I was a bit surprised
at how the vote went.

How's that?

>> Da Vinci: Bit surprised?

>> Yeah.

>> Shakil: Well what
does Manning want?

>> Manning wants the
contract reopened.

He wants the contract back.

>> Pacific's gonna come down

with both their
feet on our heads

if we try to do that.

>> Well Manning's pulling
his boots on right now,

so it's one guy or this guy.

One or the other, okay,

I don't know which way to go.
>> We need

some pretty hard evidence
to take on Pacific.

And I would imagine if they
did exert any influence,

they went through the
campaign manager's office.

And we already know
he committed suicide,

so he's no longer
available for questioning.

>> Yeah, I'm looking
for some guidance here.

I was hoping to get some advice.

What do you think?

>> These guys know how to
play hardball at Pacific.

So even if we do find
improprieties on their end,

they can line us up with a squad
of their lawyers for years.

>> 'Kay.

>> My suggestion is we
ask questions quietly.

See if Manning's
got any evidence

or whether he's
just blowing smoke,

trying to get some leverage.

>> That's pretty good advice.

Think we'll stick with that.

Any objections to that?

Okay, let's move
this along okay?

What's the next item?

>> We've got about 50 people

occupying the old Watson
department store downtown

demanding beds for the homeless.

>> I heard about that.

Now, remind me, why is it

that we can't just
leave them in there?

In Watson's right now, they
got a roof over their head

until we can find something
else out there for them.

>> It's really not suitable
for even temporary housing.

>> No?

>> Ahluwalia: There're no
toilets, no running water,

but lots of rats and pigeons.

>> 'Kay, well I
should make a tour.

You think that'd be a good idea?

We could get that arranged?
>> Sure, yes sir.

>> All right.

>> Yeah, I can tell you
exactly what happened.

One of those lunatics
from the house of addicts

was attacking a dog.

He had this big blade with him,

and he was attacking the dog.

The police came, they
asked him to stop,

and he turned on them.

He started hacking at them
and that's when he got shot.

>> All right.

Where were you
watching all this from?

>> Right here, standing
right where we are now.

>> Now I got some
pretty good eyesight,

and I really can't make out
much all the way up there.

>> Hang on, I'll get my glasses.

>> Oh, you wear glasses?

>> No.

>> Yeah, I'm thinking this
guy was being attacked

by the dog the whole time.

>> Yeah, I'm gonna
ask about that again.

>> Here, have a look at those.

>> Okay.

>> Witness: They
got night vision.

>> Why do you have
night vision glasses?

>> Witness: I hunt.

>> Joe: What do you hunt?

>> Ducks.

>> Night vision glasses?

>> Witness: Yeah.

>> Okay, let's get
back to the events.

Now you stated the man
was attacking the dog.

>> Witness: Yes he was.

>> Angela: Before
the police arrived.

>> Witness: Okay.

>> Angela: Yes, before
the police arrived?

>> Witness: Yes.

>> Angela: How do you know
the man was attacking the dog?

>> Witness: He was
swinging hard at it.

The music was going,
he was fighting the dog

and the police came and
they pulled right up there,

pulled their guns out,
and they started shooting.

They pulled out the--
>> Hey.

Got a rifle in there?

>> I hunt.

>> Step over here
sir, against the wall.

>> Well he can't go in my house.

>> It's all right, just relax.

We're just gonna have
a look at the gun.

Is the gun registered?

>> Huh?

>> Is it registered?

>> Not yet, no.

>> This is an assault rifle.

>> All right, hands behind
your head, feet apart.

>> This is bullshit.
(rifle clicking)

>> Feet apart.

>> I'm out here trying to
tell you what happened.

>> I think I found them.

Claire, I think I
found the missing boys.

>> Hello.

>> I think I found who
the remains might be.

These couple aboriginal
kids here went missing

from the Pemberton area 1993,

reported runaways, never found.

There's a rumor that they
started in the sex trade maybe.

>> That doesn't sound good.

>> Mick: Gave the vice
squad enough of a reason

to start investigating.

>> Where were their parents?

>> It says here that
they all thought

that maybe the kids
had both been murdered.

Looks like the vice cop did too.

>> Why?

>> Mick: Doesn't
say, no one says.

>> What were their names?

>> Garth. Garth Morris, Dennis
Clark, both 14 years old.

>> Suicide's not unheard of.

>> Yeah I guess that's
always a possibility, huh?

Hey, you wanna see if you
can track down this vice cop?

See if he's still on the job?

Love to get his notes.

>> They look like babies.

>> Hi.

Come with me, please.

Okay.

>> Mr. Mayor, this
is Joe Friedland.

Joe's with the East
End Poverty Coalition.

>> Oh great, nice
to meet you Joe.

>> You too.

>> You're the man
in charge here?

>> Well we're all
in charge, but yeah,

you can talk to me.

>> Okay, so how many people
are we talking about?

How many people need
beds for the night?

>> We need about 75.

>> Okay.

Well can you start by
showing me around inside?

>> Yeah, sure.

>> What else you looking for?

What can I do for you?

>> You campaigned on a promise

to end homelessness
in Vancouver.

Maybe you could start with that.

>> Okay.

Can you show me around inside?

>> Right, okay.

No that's okay, we're fine.

>> You got no power in here.

>> No.

>> Do you have
any running water?

>> No.

>> So no heating I guess.

>> Nope.

>> Well this is really
not good enough.

>> No.

>> You know, you got no water

and you got no heat or
electricity or anything.

You're actually better
off in the park.

>> In the park?

That's your solution, after
all the promises that you made?

>> I didn't say
that, did I say that?

I didn't say that.

You're not gonna start
making shit up on me are you?

I'm just saying, I came in here

to see if the
situation was livable,

and I'll tell you
I'm worried it's not.

>> Well neither are the streets.

Or the parks, or even
some of the hotels.

We're here, right?

And this is where
we're gonna stay

until you get us some help.
(police siren wails)

>> Okay, I'll see what I can do.

>> What does that mean?

Are you or are you not gonna
stick to your promises, huh?

Are you just gonna
>> Promises?

>> put us out on the street?
>> I didn't make a promise,

I just said to you I was
gonna see what I can do.

>> Police wagons are here.

>> Oh, police wagons
are here, okay.

(police siren wails)

>> Okay, great, yeah.

Okay, I know what
happens now, yeah.

Get everybody inside.
>> Just keep your,

>> Everybody inside.
>> just keep it cool.

>> Friedland: Everybody get in!

>> Get the chief on the
phone for me, will you?

Just...

Okay, nobody get excited okay?

Just take it easy.

Everything's under control here.

Do we really need all this?
(cars honking)

>> They were parading up and
down the street all morning

blocking traffic.

>> And you guys do, you guys
know how to reroute traffic.

I don't see what
the big deal is.

>> We responded
to some complaints

by local businessmen
saying that these people

were interfering
with their customers

and preventing them from
doing their normal business.

>> Yeah but I would've at
least expected a phone call

before you start
pulling all the troops.

I mean, what about that?

Why couldn't you have called?
>> They're arming themselves.

Dominic, they're
arming themselves

with bottles, rocks, sticks,

and they're destroying property.

You want me to sit back
and let that happen?

>> I was just inside there.

I didn't see any bottles
and I didn't see any rocks.

>> Well I'm relying on
intelligence we received.

>> You got an operator in there?

>> No.

>> You don't.

Well what's your plan?

>> My plan is to get them to
leave the building and disperse.

>> You're supposed
to take that plan,

you're supposed to run that
plan by the police board.

And I would've at least
expected a phone call,

a heads up from
you on this, Bill.

>> Dominic, it's
just operations.

We get the phone
call, we responded the way we normally do.

>> All right.

Look, I just need some time
here to deal with this.

Can you give me 48 hours
and then we can talk again?

>> Your call.

>> Yeah it is my call, I'm so
glad you agree with me on that.

(car horn honks)

Okay.

Okay no one's gonna
disperse anybody.

This is all gonna go away, okay?

I'm gonna find beds
for whomever I can,

but you gotta keep a lid
on things for 24 hours.

You gotta keep your people
off the streets okay?

And I can do what I can here.

That's reasonable isn't it?

>> You send the police in,
there's gonna be a battle.

>> Nobody wants a battle.

Just keep your people
off the streets.

24 hours.

>> Okay.

>> Okay you got my word.

>> Friedland: Okay.
>> Thank you.

Appreciate your help.

>> Thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> 24 hours, huh?

>> I hope so.

Chief says they're
gonna give me 48.

Hey how you doing?

It's Dominic.

Can you meet me at my office?

I need you right away, okay?

Something's really come up.

>> Right, okay.

Thanks Maria.

(phone beeps)

Okay, here's a
lowdown on the dog.

The dog at that address
has been picked up twice

by the pound and it has a
record of attacking people.

Two attacks.

Both of them were serious
enough to require stitches.

Both attacks were
on the inner thigh,

the crotch area of both victims.

>> Huh.

>> Now I just got off
the horn with Maria

and she says our victim has
a dog bite in the same area.

>> Ow.

So what, you think
maybe the dog attacked,

this guy got the machete
to defend himself?

>> I think so.

I mean, we heard about the
dog barking, the yelling.

That sort of fits.

>> Okay, so he goes for a
walk, the dog attacks him,

he gets his machete--

>> From the garage, yeah.

With all the other tools.

>> Comes back,
goes after the dog,

that's what causes
all the noise.

The police come, he's got the
machete, the dog is on the run

and our victim is yelling
and acting all wild.

>> Because he's been
attacked by the dog.

>> But it doesn't really explain

why he's yielding the machete
when the constables arrive.

>> The dog attack is
just what led up to it.

>> Well so what, you
wanna go talk to the guy?

Maybe pick up the dog?

>> Yeah.

Yeah, he's just over
there in the basement.

Maybe wanna call
the pound first?

Have them handle it?

>> Let's just check it out.

We need the pound,
we'll call the pound.

>> All right.

>> Okay, the shelters are all
pretty much full up tonight.

They can take maybe 10 people.

>> Maybe 10?

>> Yeah.

>> Zack McNab is here.

He says you booked a meeting.

>> Oh yeah.

Oh yeah, send him in.

Now this is a private meeting.

Trust me, you don't wanna
be here for this one.

>> Okay, say no more.

>> All right.

Well I don't think anybody needs
to mention this to anybody.

>> Sam: Fair enough.

>> Rita: Fine.

>> Sam: Hey Zack.

>> Hey.

Thank you.

Hey.
>> There he is.

>> Nice digs eh?

>> Well yeah, I guess so.

(Zack laughs)
I'm the mayor.

Thanks for dropping by, Zack.

>> Yeah, no problem.

So, what can I do for you?

>> We got a little problem.

Down at the Watson's
department store.

You've seen it on the news.
>> Oh yeah.

>> Well, the police,

they may have put an
operator down in there

with the homeless people.

>> Yeah, it sounds like
something that they might do.

>> It does, doesn't it?

>> Zack: Yep.
>> Yeah.

So I want you to help
me find a solution.

Can I get you anything?

>> G and T?

>> G and T.

Maybe if I was in my chair

I might be able to
arrange something for you.

(Zack laughs)

It's good to see you.

>> Same to you.

>> This is what
I want you to do.

>> Angela: 'Kay this
might sting a bit.

>> (gasps) Ow.

>> Hey, what happened?

>> Joe had a little run-in.

>> (sighs) I shot a dog.

>> Dog asked for it, Joe.

I would've done
exactly the same thing.

>> Sorry, what happened?

>> We were out trying to
take a look at the dog.

It was kinda snarly so we
called the pound for backup.

>> Well which dog is this?

>> The one from this morning.

>> It was on the loose.

Victim was out walking,

that's why he was
carrying the machete.

He'd been attacked
by the dog before.

Anyway, I'm on the phone
calling for the pound

to come seize the dog,

Joe's talking with the owner,

suddenly the dog makes
a run at Joe and--

>> Clears a six foot fence,
goes straight for my balls,

so I get my hand down, it
latches on, it won't let go.

First time I ever
had to use my gun.

>> Why don't you go get
some shots or something?

>> Yeah, we're just
gonna write it up first.

>> You're set.

>> Thanks.

(upbeat music)

>> Those smell great.

I don't guess you got one
of those for me do you?

>> Yeah, sure.

You can have a couple.

>> That's great,
that's terrific.

>> Are there any beds in there?

For the night?

>> Yeah, plenty of
spare mattresses.

>> That's great.

>> You want something on these?

>> Oh yeah, the works, yeah.

>> We have mustard.

>> (laughs) Okay
yeah, mustard's good.

Nothing wrong with mustard.

>> Go on in, help
yourself to a spot.

>> Okay, thank you.

Thank you very much,
I appreciate it.

(upbeat music)

>> Always knew it would
wind up like this.

Finding them dead one day.

>> Want another beer?

>> Sure, and I'll take a couple.

>> Two more of those, please.

>> So I spent a couple of
weeks back in the early '90s

looking for these two kids.

Find out they've been
working boys' town.

Been on the street
for maybe a week

and then they went missing.

>> That's young to
be on the street.

>> They're young
fresh and pretty.

I talked to another
street kid at the time

who said he knew them.

And he thought...

>> Thank you.

>> He thought maybe they found
some guy, snapped them up,

kept them for himself
and his friends.

>> Who's the guy?

>> He didn't know.

>> Mind if I take a
look at those notes?

>> But he thought he
were pretty well off,

'cause the kids come
back to the hotel

loaded with cash
a couple of times.

Rumor was, he'd get one
of them really loaded,

then force the other kid to
watch while he were gang-raped

by a group of this
guy's friends.

>> Who's the source?

Can I talk to that guy?

>> Yeah, he's around.

>> Does that say
what I think it says?

Oh yeah.

There's more.

(ominous music)

(knock on door)

>> Yeah?

>> You still here?

>> Da Vinci: No I'm not.

>> Do you have time for
the city administrator?

>> She's here?

>> Rita: Yeah.

>> Oh, no, send her in.

>> Okay, well I'm gonna say
good night if that's okay.

>> Da Vinci: Oh, thanks Rita.

I'll see you tomorrow.

>> Rita: All right.

>> Thanks for a great day.

>> Rita: Thanks.

>> Hey.

>> Da Vinci: Come on in.

>> Reach down in that drawer
where you keep the good stuff.

We gotta talk.

>> We do?

>> Forsythe: Mm-hmm.

>> Just a minute.

>> Sam tells me you
wanna know my thoughts

on cross-training the
firemen and the police.

>> I do.

>> You really wanna take on
two of the most powerful unions

in the city?

>> Well maybe, maybe
not, I don't know.

What chance do I
have to succeed, any?

>> Sure.

They tried this in
Victoria a few years ago.

Worked like a dream.

Not saying a few trucks
didn't get burned

or a few people didn't
receive threats,

but eventually it
worked itself out.

>> Da Vinci: Oh.

>> By the way, this
is just between us.

Nobody else knows we're
working on this idea?

>> No, it's just
between us, nobody else.

>> Forsythe: Nobody?

Especially not the
police board, not yet.

>> Nobody.

>> I don't wanna step outside
and find my tires slashed.

This place leaks like a sieve.

>> So I understand.

>> Okay.

So, we cross-train the firemen,

we could effectively double
the men on the street

at no extra cost.

It can be done.

We can have as many men on
the street as the chief wants,

only they'll be firemen.

>> At no extra cost.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> (laughs) Why hasn't
anybody done this here before?

>> Never had a mayor
with a death wish before.

>> (laughs) Okay.

Tell me more.

(upbeat music)
