(dramatic music)

>> You know what they're
saying that, don't ya?

They're saying that, yeah,

you just go all
the way to the end,

right where that
car's parked up there.

>> They're not putting in a
red light zone in Edmonton.

They know it won't work.

>> They got a serial killer.

>> You're gonna be a one term
mayor if you try to do this.

They don't work.

>> They got a guy who's
cutting the throats

of native girls and
dump them in a field.

It's a clotrac like this,

I don't know how many
times I gotta say this,

it's a hunting ground.

And what they're
saying in Edmonton

is maybe they ought
to give it a try.

>> You should build
some political capital

before you try this.

>> I've told ya, I'm
gonna stop bringing you

on field trips with me

if you don't stop
arguing with me.

I thought you're
behind me on all this.

>> I'm sorry sir.

I'm trying to get there.

I just,

I don't see it.

Who's this? Is this
your friend up here?

>> Yeah, Paula.

>> Paula?

President of the hooker union?

>> Yeah.

The prostitutes alliance.

Come on, come meet my friend.

Hey Paula.

Hey, nice to see you.

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> That's right.

Hey, thanks for coming down.

Do you know Sam Burger?

My executive assistant.

>> Hello, nice to meet you.
>> That's Paula.

So there it is.

It's in pretty good
shape, not much needed.

What do you think?

>> Yeah, I went
through this afternoon.

>> Love it or what?

>> You wanna tell me
how you see it working,

'cause I don't think the girls
are gonna wanna work inside.

>> No, no, no, no, no,
they're not working in there.

This is, this is
a drop in center,

a drug counseling services.

You got your needles,
your condoms,

also medical stuff.

>> Okay.

Nice.

>> So here's the deal.

Every night about nine o'clock,

we block off the end of
this street right here,

and they block off the
street right next to it.

>> Paula: Yeah.

>> Checkpoint, checkpoint.

Johns just come
right through here

and then well, they're
pretty much gonna do

what this guy's doing
right on over here.

Okay.

Once they get by
the cop at the gate,

they come right down here.

They crawl on the curb.

They pick out the girl.

>> Cop at the gate?

>> Cop at the gate.

>> That might be a
hard sell to the girls.

>> Yeah, I don't think the cops

are gonna be jumping up
and down about it either.

>> Well tough shit, okay.

Just bear with me, okay.

He's got the girl in the car.

They go around the corner
where that guy went.

Go around to that
parking lot over there

and pick out a spot.

A nice dollar there,
a parking space,

do their thing,
whatever they do.

She goes into the
drop in center.

The john continues
up to the checkpoint,

to the cop at the checkpoint.

Checks him out and the car,

and it's pretty much,

this is Henry Ford.

What do you think?

>> Paula: What do I think?

>> Da Vinci: What?

>> I think I want some
of what you're smoking.

>> Come on, this
is funny to you?

This works in Amsterdam.

It works in Newtrek,

all over Europe.

>> Okay, you got the go ahead
from the neighborhood here?

>> You know--

>> Are we gonna have
vigilantes every night?

>> We poll the
neighborhood and got 70%

that say they're okay with it.

We're offering tax breaks.

I don't think we're
gonna see that situation.

>> So what do you need from me?

>> I need you to
talk to the girls.

You got to get out there and
start talking this thing up.

And let them know how
we plan to do things,

and if we have the
support of the girls,

I feel good about proceeding.

But if we don't,
there's really no point.

>> Right.

Well I can do that.

>> You can?

I really appreciate that.

>> Yeah.

>> That's the missing link,

that's right there, okay.

>> Take it easy, hey.

>> You too.

>> And thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> Paula.

It's not working
all over Europe.

The problems in Amsterdam
are insurmountable.

>> These are
problems in Amsterdam

specific to there.

It's the influx of eastern
European immigrants.

>> Yeah, well the police
are gonna shake kittens.

I don't see how you do this
without their cooperation.

>> Where we dropping you?

>> Back to the office.

I got a ton of paperwork.

How you gonna sell
this to the police?

>> It's your homework.

You're gonna tell me.

(slow suspenseful music)

(someone shouting indistinctly)

>> Chief: I don't want to meet
directly with this guy again.

From now on,

any contact with the
union is through you.

>> Okay.

>> No emails.

>> Yeah, I'll handle it.

He understands.

There he is.

>> Hello, chief, sir.

>> Good to see you.

Have a seat.

Get you a drink?

>> A cold beer might
go down nicely.

>> Get two of these.

>> So, big Charlie here
told you a little about

what we're thinking?

>> Uh huh.

>> Yeah, we've been getting
hammered in the press

for various things.

And we're about to get
another shot any day now

with this stun gun issue.

>> So we're gonna try and
rehab our image a little.

>> I think the
membership understands

the importance of improving
our public profile.

>> Okay, thanks.

Good.

Very important that we're
hand in glove on this.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna say goodnight.

Let you and Charlie
hash out the details.

>> Man: Okay, goodnight.

>> Chief: Thanks again.

>> Night boss.

Thank you sweetheart.

That was a nice piece
of ass right there.

>> So what's this all mean?

>> Well first thing, we
gotta start generating

some positive press.

So any good news, kitten
up a tree kinda stuff,

all the volunteer work,

the charities,

we need to get that to the media

and make sure they start
covering this stuff.

>> I got a couple
of favors owed.

I'll make the calls.

>> Good.

And it would be really good

if we had a positive
stun gus story

to counter all this shit
coming down the pike.

>> Positive stun gun story?

>> Charlie: Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Good.

So get me up to speed
on the contract issues

'cause the chief
wants to be able

to support you guys
however he can.

>> How about more two
man cars out there?

>> We can talk about that.

>> And don't mess
with our overtime.

(soft music)

>> You know, I used
to be able to do that

with one hand riding a
horse in the freezing rain.

>> Bullshit.

>> Hey Zack.

>> Yeah.
>> Talk to you for a second?

>> Sure.

>> I'm thinking about

heading up to Queen
Elizabeth Park tomorrow.

>> Queen E park?

>> Yeah. You know, just to kind
of check out the facilities.

Wanna go?

>> Sure, I'm in.

(soft music)

>> Hi, just a cup of
hot water with lemon.

Hey, how's it going?

>> Hey, good, good.

>> So, anyone do their homework?

>> I got a tip on
Grop and Point Gray.

House is one of these big ones,

owners offshore,
probably Chinese,

sitting on the real estate.

>> Female Cop: Anyone else?

>> One of my old boyfriends

says he's got the
address of a biker grow

he thinks they're running.

It's across the
street from his place.

>> Which boyfriend is this?

>> He's a paramedic.

>> Let's get a warrant
and shut it down.

>> Female Cop: You wanna
knock over a biker grow?

>> Why not?

>> Organized crime could
be running something

we don't know about.

And we better clear
it with everybody,

make sure we're not stepping
on some other investigation.

>> Come on, it'd be good for
us to take down a biker grow.

I'll chase up a warrant.

What's the address?

>> It's out on Renfrew.

I got it right here.

>> Count all the votes.

There's vote fraud in Vancouver.

The mayor is illigit.

156 votes not counted,

voting station 12.

Did you vote for Da Vinci, sir?

Ma'am, did you
vote for Da Vinic?

There is vote
fraud in Vancouver.

Sir, did you vote for Da Vinci?

Did you know if they
counted your vote?

75 votes not counted.

(group chatter)

>> Morning.

>> Hi.

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> How you doing?

Nice to see you.

>> Good.

>> I've been thinking all
night. How we gonna sell the,

sell the police on this file?

>> That's gonna be a problem--

>> Your problem's
gonna be Chief Jacobs

and getting his support.

>> Well that's gonna be
the last of our problems

because he's not gonna
be around much longer.

>> Exactly.

Get rid of him, everything
else will fall into place.

>> Yeah, and the first thing
you do at the board meeting

is bring up an early
performance review of him.

>> Early performance review?

I can do that?

>> Absolutely.

As a new head of police board,

you're concerned
with budget overruns.

>> All because we're
halfway through the year

and he's over, he spent
his annual budget.

>> Exit strategy, tie
his performance to the budget overruns.

>> So back him
right off, won't it.

>> Yeah, it'll back him off.

It'll distract him.

If he gets word about the
search for the new chief,

he'll think it's all
about the budget.

He'll be looking to make nice.

>> I like that.

Okay.

Is this today? Now want
about the red light district?

When do I get that?

>> Okay, well you've got federal

and provincial support on that,

and the money's in the bank.

So you can start that
any time you like.

>> Da Vinci: I can just go
right ahead and start it.

>> Right, just let
engineering know

you want the barriers up,

and let the neighborhood know.

>> Really?
>> Paying for the extra cops

to patrol it will be tougher.

You're gonna have to
look at the overall,

kill some programs.

>> Which might get
easier down the road

once you replace the chief.

>> Speaking of which,
how's that going?

>> Well there's somebody
I like Sam doesn't.

>> Da Vinci: What?

>> I just don't see
how an aboriginal woman

is gonna be appointed
police chief in Vancouver.

>> Tough sell.

>> She's got experience in
cross training fire and police.

>> Well see that's
good, I like that.

>> Sam: We're gonna sell it.

>> Just bring her
in for an interview.

There's no harm in picking
her brains for free.

>> Sam: Fine.

>> I don't see the harm in
bringing her in for, yeah.

>> Chief.

So Da Vinci's looking to
open up the hooker zone.

>> Where'd you pick that up?

>> One of my constables
heard it on the street.

>> That's gonna cause a
bit of a public backlash.

>> Should do, yeah.

Working on it.

>> There you go.

Just, let's deal with the,

with the police
chief's contract.

What year of his contract
is he in right now?

>> Woman: Year two of four.

>> Maybe it's time for a,

for a review, a
performance review.

>> It's a bit early, I think.

>> Really?

Is anybody aware

of where this budget is at?

Exactly, you're
right at the minute.

>> Heading for a record deficit.

I think an early
review is a good idea.

>> Where's the overspend?

>> They've got some expensive
administrative costs,

but mostly it's overtime wages.

We don't have enough constables
to cover all the shifts.

>> So let's do a review
and let's tie it to budget.

We gotta start keeping an eye

on where they're
spending money on here,

how they're deploying
manpower and everything else

'cause every time they go over,

planning takes a hit,

health services,
everybody's got to pony up.

>> I've got no objections.

Anybody else?

>> I still think it's too early.

Let's just tell him he's
got to reel in the budget

and wait for his response.

>> Da Vinci: I know what
his response is gonna be.

>> Four to one then
for the review.

Okay, let's have a review.

Any other issues, Dominic?

>> No.

Well there's the
red light district,

that's going ahead.

Those barriers are going up.

Can we just go back
actually one second

before we leave it,
the police budget here.

I noticed that we are hosting
police games this year.

And that might just be an
area we can save some money.

It's $150,000

to sponsor these games.

Now I enjoy the police
games as much as anybody,

but 150,000?

There's two or three constables

we could keep on the
streets right now.

(soft music)

>> Shit.

Cindy, we're clear.

>> Must have just missed them.

(soft music)

>> Found this on the front door.

It's from the fire department.

They're coming back
in two days to conduct

an electrical safety inspection.

>> Carter.

>> Carter: Hey.

>> There's a woman here who says
her son has some information

on your lost lagoon victim.

>> Okay, thanks.

Hi.

I'm detective Cater,
what can I do for you?

>> My name is Pamela Markowitz.

This is my son Chad.

He has something to tell you.

>> Just have a seat.

So what's up?

>> So, there's this
rumor going around

that this guy, Colin,

he and some other guys,

they beat up a guy in
Stanley Park, and he died.

>> And who's Colin?

>> Colin Rainier.

He goes to my school.

>> And how'd you
hear about this?

>> At school.

Everybody's talking about it.

(soft music)

>> Nathaniel.

>> Yeah.

>> Man: There's a guy
from the coroner's office

here for you.

You want me to blow him off?

(soft music)

>> I'll see what he wants.

(soft music)

>> I'm looking into a story
about a couple of kids

we found in the park.

>> Yeah, I heard about that.

>> You did?

>> I remember Juimina was
working at a youth home

when I heard they disappeared.

>> Oh yeah, when was this?

>> Early 90's.

We had some kids
working the streets

who were staying with us.

They heard the rumors.

>> Really?

Now what about a
kid named Cody Bell?

Would he been
staying with the home

during that period of time?

>> Cody, yeah.

He committed suicide.

>> Really?

Actually, you know what,

I got that written
up in a report here

that it was a car accident.

>> Yeah, I remember that's
how it got written up.

He got drunk and stepped in
front of that car on purpose.

>> Is that right? You know
that for sure, do you?

>> Not the first
time it happened,

not the last.

>> Okay, what about,

did Cody ever
mention a limousine?

No, some rich guy
at fancy hotels,

that kinda stuff?

Sound familiar?

>> You're digging into that?

>> Yeah, I am.

>> That's an old story
I heard a couple times.

>> Where'd you hear it?

>> Lots of kids tell it.

Sometimes it's a limousine,

sometimes a taxi.

They got to some fancy hotel.

Sometimes it's in
match, or West Fan,

or Shaughnessy.

Lots of dope and drink,

then they get raped.

>> And you don't think
there's any truth to that?

>> I didn't say that.

Said it's an old story.

I heard it a couple of times.

It goes back generations.

>> Okay, well, I'm looking
for specific details.

>> Good luck.

>> I gotta start somewhere.

Anything helps, right.

>> Nathaniel: You're not
gonna get anywhere with it.

>> Why do you say that?

>> Come on, colonial
history 101.

These guys who do
this, they're rich,

politically connected.

They're gonna shut down
any investigations you got

before anything happens.

>> We just gotta cut right
through the rumors though.

I need details.

>> Well,

when those two you were
talking about disappeared,

the rumor was it
was a white limo,

the guy that picked them up
was a local radio personality,

and it was a hotel.

>> Local radio personality,

you mean a DJ,

disc jockey?

>> Talk show host.

I don't remember a name.

I think he got convicted
on a rape charge

and went off the air.

(hip hop music)
(door bell rings)

(hip hop music)

(knocking on door)

(hip hop music)

>> Colin Rainier?

>> What?

>> Detective:
Vancouver homicide.

Get your shoes on.

(group chatter)

(knocking)

>> So we had a couple
things come out

of that police board meeting.

One, Da Vinci confirmed
that he's going ahead

with the red light zone,

putting up the barricades.

>> I think we can
stall that a while.

I believe engineering
needs our approval on that.

>> Maybe.

And two, the board is
asking for an early

performance review of
your tenure so far.

>> Huh.

Who's pushing that, like
I don't already know.

>> Da Vinci rammed it through.

It's tied to the budget.

>> Okay.

We can dodge that.

>> And good news elsewhere.

We got a couple
constables stop a jumper

on the Cambie Bridge
with a stun gun.

Had a ton of witnesses,

news crew caught the whole thing

and it's running at
the top of the news.

>> Do me a favor,

call Blake Harris and have
him look over my contract.

See if there's any way
around the review, would ya?

>> Already made the call.

And can you throw
the first pitch

at the little league
championships Saturday?

>> Isn't that the
mayor's job usually?

>> Usually.

Earl from the union

umps the playoffs and
he volunteered you.

It's part of the
outreach program.

It's a good photo op.

>> Oh, I'll be there.

>> Okay, here it is.

(soft music)

>> He Jason.

>> Hey.

>> How you doing?

>> Have you got an update
for me on that gay bashing?

>> I got a suspect in custody.

I just heard.

>> Jason: How does it look?

>> He's a juvenile.

>> Can I talk to the parents?

>> I don't know.

I think maybe it's better

if they hear it from
the police themselves.

They're on track.

They're doing okay.

Come on in.

You're on the
parks board, right?

>> Jason: I was.

>> Okay, I got this new park.

It's going in down
there in the east end.

It's been on the boards
for a couple of years now.

The principal in the school,

she thinks there's
too much potential

for it the become a destination

for the pimps and the dealers.

>> I remember that park.

That was a bitch in planning.

But I don't think you can
stop that ball rolling.

>> When you got pimps
rolling up on 11 year olds,

she's got a point.

>> Can you double up
patrols on the police?

Target pimps?

They'll move on after a while.

>> It just spreads the problem
around. There's no solution,

it just spreads
the problem around.

>> You know, if it was up to me.

>> What?

>> Round them up in
one big crackdown,

take them on a midnight ride.

>> Suspend everybody's
civil rights for a while,

would you Jason?

>> Hand them a beating.

Give them a one way ticket home.

Nobody's gonna start protesting

in defense of a
pimp's civil rights.

>> Okay, cowboy,
thanks for the advice.

I don't know if I
got enough constables

to do what you suggest,

even if I were to lose my mind

and think that was a good idea.

>> Hey, if you want me to
take on the pimp issue,

I'm happy to go point on it.

>> Meaning what?

>> Let me be the
law and order guy.

>> You be the law and order guy?

>> We can't have criminals
driving us out of our parks

and public spaces.

>> I don't know if we
should have our parks

reigned by uniforms either.

>> I mean it.

Let me get into it.

I'll take something
off your plate.

>> Okay.

Thanks for the offer.

Let me think about it thought.

>> Rita: Mr. Mayor.

>> See you later Jason.

>> Da Vinci: What's up?

>> Billie Simms
wants you to speak

at a charity fundraiser
at her house.

Do you want me to book it?
>> Billie Simms?

Oh yeah, book that.

>> All right.

Watch it, she's gonna hit you up

on that sugar
warehouse rezoning.

I'll put money on that.

>> How much money,
'cause I take that bet.

>> Oh, and you got
bumped from the opening

of the little league baseball
championships on Saturday.

I hope you're not upset.

>> You mean I'm gonna have to
sleep in on Saturday morning.

Damn.

Who's gonna do it?

>> Chief Jacobs.

(siren blaring)

>> What's going on?

>> 8:30 this morning,

the shots went off.

Neighbors are saying they
heard tires screeching away

but no one's got
a description yet.

They got a dozen bullet
holes in that one side

from what I can count.

>> So maybe a vehicle
pulls up on the left

while he's at the
intersection and fires on him.

Okay.

(siren blaring)

>> Long time, no see, Joe.

How you been?

>> Not bad.

>> Officer: I thought you
were working internal.

>> No, I'm homicide now.

>> That's an
interesting transition.

>> Tell me about it.

They always look at me sideways.

>> Officer: Right.

None who can blame them though.

>> Yeah, right.

So what do you think, Angie?

>> Front seat's
covered in homework.

School papers all over.

>> Well he could be a teacher.

There's that school
just over there.

>> So somebody puts
a dozen bullets

in a school teacher
on his way to school?

(gun shots firing)

>> Where'd that come from?

>> Hey Claire.

>> You wanted statistics
on the aboriginal kids?

>> Yeah, I did.

>> Claire: There are no stats
on missing aboriginal kids.

>> What?

Oh, come on. There's
gotta be numbers on this.

>> Nothing's broken
down by race.

I have stats on runaways.

Those average about
40 to 50,000 a year.

But those are just the reports.

And those are only broken down

by white and
non-white categories.

Do you want those numbers?

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What do you got there?

>> More missing persons files.

Aboriginal children,

juvenile since 1990.

Province and north
west territories.

>> Thank you.

Oh Claire, you wanna see if
you can get ahold of somebody

over at sex crimes.

I wanna get a
meeting with somebody

who's familiar with the
pedophile scene, okay.

I'm looking for an offender

who was a radio host
in the last 80's.

>> Sure.

>> Mick: Thanks.

(soft music)

(siren blaring)

>> Hey, what do you got?

>> Hey, I just ran the plates.

Truck's registered
to a Santaj Kumar.

>> Anybody see anything?

>> I'm just checking it out now.

>> Okay, thanks.

(sirens blaring)

Look at that.

>> Yeah.

Looks almost like
the same truck.

>> Hey.

>> Da Vinci: Hi.

>> Tom Venice wasn't bluffing

about selling the race track.

>> What?

>> Niagara Entertainment
scheduled a press conference

in Toronto this afternoon.

>> Tom's on line one.

He wants to give you a heads up.

>> Tom Venice

from Toronto.

Jesus Christ, you know
what you oughta do,

you oughta get a hold
of Sandy Dandridge.

I think he'll be
down at BC Place.

>> Okay.

>> They got a home
game this week.

How do I want, what line?
>> Sam: One, press one.

>> How do I get one?
>> Just press one.

>> Just press it, okay.

Tom?

>> Tom: Yeah.

>> Oh, how you doing?

Boy, can you fill me in?

What's going on? You
guys in or you guys out,

or what's going on?

>> Tom: Out.

We're making the official
announcement an hour from now.

>> That sounds pretty
definite, you know,

boy I guess I was
being optimistic,

but I was hoping that

you and your friends
there were gonna,

you know, show some patience,

hang in there,

'cause I'm pretty sure
you'll be seeing profits--

>> Sell the locals.

>> From the slots soon enough.

>> Tom: I understand, but the
boar wasn't willing to wait.

>> Gotta sell the locals.

>> You know, given the
nature of the real estate

that you're putting up for sale,

I just hope that you and
your board down there

in Toronto are gonna
give a local offer

some kind of consideration.

Are you?

>> Tom: If you have
local interests

actually interested in
maintaining the track,

more power to you.

But we'll be
entertaining all offers.

You gotta know that.

>> All right, Tom.

It's a pleasure
dealing with you.

>> Tom: You know, we might
have been able to make it work,

but you never really
delivered, Dominic.

You gotta learn to come
up good on your promises.

>> You know, I've got
you on the speaker.

I don't think I quite got
that last part there, asshole.

(birds squawking)

>> How's that?

This good?

(siren alarms)

All right.

>> What's going on?

>> Worker: Putting
up some barriers.

>> Blocking off the street?

>> Just at night

for red light zone.

>> Officer: What zone?

>> The hooker zone.

>> When's that coming in?

>> Next few days or so.

(laughs)

Okay, here?

>> Fire Chief: When
you're done here,

can you get the other rig down?

>> Okay.

>> Hey there.

>> Fire Chief: Hi.

How you doing?

>> I'm a little pissed actually.

>> Fire Chief: Oh yeah.

>> This come from you guys?

>> Yeah, that'd be us.

>> Okay, so we walked
in with a warrant

on this major grow op,

and hello, the place
had been cleaned out.

You guys left this
on the front door.

>> Well that's right.

That's a big grow op in there.

>> You knew that?

>> Well that'd be why
we put up the notice.

>> Since when is any of the
fire departments business?

>> Since it's a
major fire hazard.

We put up one of those notices,

come back in a couple of
days, nine times out of ten,

they're cleared right up.

>> Yeah, and set up
again somewhere else.

>> Isn't that how that
usually works anyway?

I don't see the problem.

>> The problem is you did
this without telling us.

>> Right.

Well we didn't think we needed
to call you guys on that one.

>> Next time, call us.

>> Okay.

>> And then we'll take
care of it ourselves.

We don't want you
guys getting shot.

>> Well we don't do entries.

We just post the notices.

>> Well from now on,
don't post any of these

without telling us first.

This is our job.

That's yours.

>> Simple thank you
will do next time.

>> Da Vinci: You
got any interests?

>> Well, I love horse
racing, I love the track,

but we got our
own problems here.

>> Problems, you got the
place packed to the rafters.

>> Yeah for now.

But we need a new stadium,

maybe a grass field.

>> They got grass down
at Hastings barrier.

>> Look, I want to keep
the franchise here,

but we need a new stadium,

and I'm gonna be coming
to you for subsidies.

>> Good luck.

I can't keep losing
franchises like this.

We lost the basketball
team, the car race.

I can't, I can't lose Hastings,

that's an institution.

>> Well, it's a tough town
that way. (lights buzzing)

>> Two names?

>> Yeah.

>> We have witness say
there were about 10 of you

down at the lagoon.

>> Those are the
only ones I know.

There was a bunch of us there,

but the rest of them,

I didn't know them.

They were the ones doing
most of the beating.

>> And you didn't
get any other names?

>> One of the names
was Lisa, I think.

There was a Katie, and Alison,

they said they were sisters.

>> They were girls?

>> Yeah, some of them were.

>> Hey, how'd we do?

>> Oh beautiful.

Got a free pair for
the next home game.

>> How about giving
Lloyd Manning a call?

He likes horse racing.

>> Lloyd Manning, you think?
>> Yeah, it's worth a call.

>> Maybe you're right.

This other guys I
met at the racetrack,

maybe you get ahold of him, too.

He says he's got interest,

and he's got a casino license.

There, it's Roger Woo.

>> Woo, might be a good fit.

>> Jeffrey ordered
a citizens committee

to stop the red light zone.

>> No, who are they, goddammit?

>> They've got businesses
in the area apparently.

>> No, no, we canvased
that neighborhood.

We got 70% approval,

talking tax breaks,
all that shit.

>> Yeah, well these guys
say they weren't polled,

and they don't want it.

>> Well it's too late.

The barriers are going in.

Screw them.

>> They're down there
trying to stop engineering

from installing
traffic barriers.

>> What?

Who the hell are these guys

and where were they when we
polled that neighborhood?

>> They just own a lot of
business in the neighborhood,

and they have a
lot of signatures.

>> Just take a meeting then.

>> Okay.

>> And let's just get
their business checked out

because they apparently
operate down there.

>> Okay, and Julia
needs a minute.

>> Oh, okay.

>> Hey.

>> Da Vinci: Julia.

>> Can we talk about
how much it's gonna cost

to buy out the chief's contract?

>> Da Vinci: Sure.

>> You may not
like what you hear.

>> What?

>> If we can terminate
him for cause

before next Wednesday,

we can save ourselves 200,000.

>> That's not gonna happen.

>> Then we're gonna
have to buy out

his entire four year contract.

>> Well, you know, I still think
if we get somebody in there

that can get a
handle on the costs,

and on the spending,

that we can still end up
way ahead, don't you think?

>> If we can find someone
who could cut costs,

and has the support
of the union.

>> Just gotta make friends
down there, I guess.

>> Not gonna make many friends

with that cross training idea.

>> Yeah, but that's not
for public knowledge.

That's not gonna go out there

'cause that's staying
between us, right Julia.

>> Okay.

>> Da Vinci: Just checking.

>> Hi.

>> Da Vinci: What's up?

>> Got you a meeting

with Lloyd Manning
if you want it.

>> Okay.

Now what about Woo?

>> Not yet, but the head of
the union of the track called

and he's freaking out, all
those members are freaking out.

They're panicking about
cashing their last paycheck.

>> Better set up the
meeting with Manning then.

>> Yeah, this is a
long way from downtown.

It's a long ways from
any services at all.

>> Joe: But we don't
want to do though

is set up some little out
of the way park somewhere

where nobody's even
gonna notice us

for the whole winter.

>> Yeah, we have to think
about the end result.

>> Yeah, well you might
be able to get this city

to spring for some resources.

You go to Crab Park,

and then you can hold a gun
to their head, you know.

You can threaten to move here

if they don't come--

>> No, we don't don't
go shuffling around all over the place.

That we want to make
one move and that's it.

Look at this though,

look at these flowers.

I mean you know, think about it.

Imagine the tents and
everything up in here.

It's a great photo op.

>> Yeah, yeah, I know.

From a publicity standpoint,

you're absolutely correct.

I'm just saying, give yourself
some room to negotiate.

Once we get here,

there's no negotiation.

It's just a brawl.

>> Yeah, well,

I guess we can have
a look at Crab park

on the way back if you want.

>> Sure.

>> Still, I love this.

This is really good.

>> The information the kid's
given us has been good so far.

I just want to
know what the crown

could put on the table

if he brings us all the
other girls involved.

>> Was he one of
the instigators?

>> No, I don't think so.

>> Okay, so he's
the first guy in,

and he's cooperating.

If his information
leads to the arrest

of the others, and
he's gonna testify,

how old is he?

>> 16.

>> 16, okay.

Let me check, but I'm
sure we can entertain

some sore of deal.

But if anything comes out later

that says the kid was
involved in the beating,

deal's off.

>> You sure about this?

>> Man: That's what
they're talking about.

>> Okay.

Okay.

Hang on here a minute.

(soft music)

Our operator in the squad

says they're getting
ready to move on up

to Queen Elizabeth Park.

>> Let's take a little
air to their tires

before that happens.

>> You wanna clean them
out and scatter them

before they get organized?

>> You pick off a
couple of the key guys

and you see what happens.

>> I'll let you know.

(soft music)

Let's take a walk.

So when's this gonna happen?

>> Next couple days,
as far as I can tell.

They're drumming up tents and
porta potties for the move.

(soft music)

>> Yeah, we hear those
rumors all the time.

I guess it's like
an urban legend.

Some of the kids
must be making it up

and just the rest are
repeating what they heard.

>> Why would they do that?

>> Because that's what half
the kids are hoping for,

you know, this rich guy,
famous or semi-famous

will give them lots of money.

What's not to like?

Compared to their reality,

which is some
skank, a chicken hog

to give them a beating
and group them off.

>> Yeah.

I don't think it's a myth.

>> Well, if you can find
some credible witnesses,

I'd be more than
glad to pursue it.

>> You would?

Yeah? I don't want
to just find some guy

and lay a bunch
of charges on him.

I want to get inside this thing,

see how pervasive it is.

Cause I'm hearing stories about

the suicides being
written up as accidents.

I've been hearing stories
about a couple of homicides.

>> Look man, I personally
think that it's 90% bullshit,

but if you want to come on
up and go through the files,

you might come up
with something.

>> I'd love to.

I'll take you up on that.

>> Sure, let me dig some out

and I'll give you a call
in a couple of days.

>> Good.

>> Thanks, man.
>> Thanks, Jorge.

>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, see ya.

(soft music)

(water splashing)

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> Jesus.

Quite the ocean liner
you got here, Lloyd.

>> It does the trick.

>> Sure it does for you.

>> Nice to see you.

>> Nice to see you.

>> Come on aboard.

>> Thank you very much.

>> $14,000 to fill it up.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> Get you all the
way down to Mexico.

Can I offer you a drink?

>> Da Vinci: Still on duty.

>> Can you get us a
couple cups of coffee?

>> Yeah, that'll be fine.

>> Lloyd: How do you take it?

>> Da Vinci: Just black please.

>> Lloyd: Have a seat.

>> Thank you.

>> So you really think you're
gonna get the slots approved

for the race track?

>> Yeah, I do.

You know, down the
road a stretch,

I think that's gonna happen.

But I gotta get somebody to
buy out Niagara Entertainment.

What are your
feelings about that?

>> Well, I'm not really
familiar with gaming.

Maybe you should talk to someone
with some experience there.

>> We are.

>> You want me to
get involved to what,

leverage a bidding war?

>> First guy through the
door has a huge advantage.

>> Well this entertainment
idea for a minute,

okay, say I buy the track.

And say the city council
votes no to the slots.

And I'm stuck with a useless
piece of real estate,

and I'd been screwed
by the city twice.

First, the advertising contract,

second, the slots.

>> Or the city
approves the slots

and you end up rolling in cash.

(soft music)

>> Hmm.

I'm gonna have to have a long
hard look at the numbers.

>> Okay, well I happen to
have brought something, so

here, you can knock
yourself right out.

>> Okay, say,

say I purchase the track.

Will I get another shot

at the city advertising
contract or what?

>> See, I can't really tie
those two things together.

>> But you would appreciate
the favor I'd be doing you?

>> You're doing
yourself a favor.

(soft music)

>> Thank you.

>> Thanks a lot.

(soft music)

(funky music)

>> We haven't taken
all the credit,

but I'm the one that
finished it off.

Man, we missed curfew,
but it was all good.

It was fun. It was fun man, you
guys should have been there.

It was nuts.

(sirens approaching)

(funky music)

>> There's no way we're gonna
get anything out of these kids.

Not a chance.

>> Let's see if we can't
put the fear of god in 'em.

Wrestle them up a bit.

(funky music)

>> Yeah.

This is another one
of these meetings

that you never witnessed.

>> Marcy: You got it.

>> Why don't you just
go around the block,

pick me up right here, okay.

>> Marcy: You got it.

>> I'll be looking for you.

Hey Zack.

>> I think I got him talked
out of setting the tent city

in Queen Elizabeth Park.

>> Where they gonna go?

>> Well, Crab park
like you said.

>> When's that gonna
happen, you know?

>> I don't know, you know.

The sooner the better though

'cause I got a feeling
the boys gonna come in

and start swinging pretty soon.

>> Well they got
to run that by me,

so that's not gonna happen.

>> Eh?

>> No.

>> Cause we got some pretty
fragile people in there.

>> Swear to god, Zack.

>> Okay.

>> Okay? You figured out
who Jacobs retiring there,

the plan, yeah.
>> I'll figure it out, okay.

>> Okay.

Well take it easy, okay.

>> Yeah, okay.

Hey, we never
talked about money.

>> Yeah, send me the bill.

>> But you're not
working 24/7 in there.

>> Same pan.

We're good for it.

(group chatter)

>> Word is the crown is cutting
deals on the gay bashing.

>> No, just the first
arrest, the juvenile.

We're protecting him so he'll
give up the instigators.

>> And he's giving up names?

>> Yeah, the police
had two girls

and two more guys in
custody as of yesterday.

>> Girls?

Any adults?

>> Two of them
are 18, I believe.

>> And you're gonna
go after them, right?

This will see trial?

>> I know what your concern is,

but I'll tell you right now,

we're gonna have a hell of a
time convicting teenager girls

of first degree murder,

not to mention sentencing
them on a hate crime.

Their lawyers are gonna want

to play this off
as manslaughter.

>> This all sounds too familiar.

>> These cases are
tough to prove.

But we're gonna handle
it in the right way.

>> Just don't forget what it is.

>> Lawyer: I won't.

>> You know, I used
to work this corner

about 15 years ago.

A lot of changes in the
neighborhood though,

condos and everything.

Corner's still the same.

>> Yeah. So what's
on your mind, Clarke?

>> A lot of shit,

lot of shit.

The last time we talked,

you asked me about
Garth and Dennis.

I said I didn't know
what happened to them

when they disappeared.

>> Yeah, right.

Now you remember something?

>> No, I can't forget that shit.

I just didn't have
the balls to tell you

some stuff the last time.

Anyway, I went with Garth
to that hotel one time.

>> Which hotel was that?

>> I don't know.

Downtown somewhere.

They picked us up in a limo,

blindfolded us,

and drove us around for a while.

And then they drove down
into the hotel parking lot,

put us in the freight elevator

and took us up to the top floor.

>> Who's they?

>> A couple of guys.

One guy was native,

the other guy was a big guy.

Said he was a cop.

>> Cop?

He was a local cop?

>> Yeah, from what
he was saying.

>> You think if I showed
you a picture of him,

you'd recognize him, the cop?

>> I didn't get a look at him.

They had us blindfolded
the whole time.

>> All right, so they took you
on to the freight elevator,

took you up to the top floor.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

Comfortable with telling me
what happened after that?

>> No, not really.

A bunch of guys,

maybe six,

we're pretty loaded,

maybe something in the
vodka they gave us.

They tied us to the bed posts

and took turns raping us.

And then one guy
beat us up a little.

>> Thanks for telling me this.

>> Clarke: Kinda
heavy shit, huh.

>> Yeah.

>> Clarke: Maybe I should have
said something before this.

>> Never made out a
police report or anything?

>> What were we gonna do?

The guy said he was a cop.

We believed him.

>> Okay, you got you paper in
your hands like this, right.

You just reach in,

take yourself out a
little bit of tobacco

from your pouch, all right.

Get it right in there.

Start rolling it up.

>> What if it starts to rain?

>> Well, you know, rain,

snow doesn't matter.

You just turn your back
to the wind, right.

If it's really rainy,
you open your coat,

get down here.

>> Hey Zack.

>> Zack: Yeah.

>> Get ready, we're
gonna go tonight.

>> Yeah, okay.

I'm ready any time.

Now this isn't very pretty,

but you can smoke it.

But you shouldn't

'cause it's bad for you.

(knocking on door)

>> Rita: Your
friend Zack called.

>> Oh yeah?

What did he want?

>> He says they're
on the move tonight.

>> Okay.

Sounds good.

What do you think?

Which tie?

Here's the blue one.

We got the green one.

>> God, you need new ties.

>> Da Vinci: The blue, the gray?

>> The gray.

>> Okay, blue it is.

>> Tonight, Sam and
I won't be there,

so no commitments.

>> Try not to give
away the farm.

Oh yeah, the blue.

That's the one, thank you.

(engine rumbling)

(indistinct radio chattering)

(engine rumbling)

>> It's about a 15 minute walk

from here to Crab Park,

but I want us all to go together

in one big trip, okay.

So pack up everything.

Don't leave anything behind
that you're gonna need.

We're gonna leave
in about an hour.

Zach?

>> Yeah?

>> Could you get a
crew of people together

and go on over there now

and show these guys where
to put up those toilets?

>> Yeah, sure, okay.

Don and you,

and you, you wanna,

we're all gonna go
to the park, okay.

Help me out.

>> Joe: Hey Zack?

>> Yeah?

>> Listen, I just wanna
ask you something.

You think we should
go over there

in like a big group,

draw the maximum
amount of attention?

Or I don't know, I'm
a little worried.

I think there might be like
a police operative in here.

It could be like some
plant or something.

>> Yeah?
>> Somebody comes in here

like pretending to, you know.

>> Sure, yeah.
>> So if the police find out

that we're gonna do this,

maybe I think if we're like
in groups of two or three,

smaller groups, then it'll
be harder to contain.

>> Well yeah, I mean
they see us coming,

they throw up a barricade,

we're never gonna make
it to the park, right.

>> Yeah.

>> It's your call.

>> I don't know.

It's kinda what I was thinking.

All right, let's
do twos and threes.

>> Sure.

>> Joe: Come back
when you're done.

>> Yeah, okay.

You guys ready?

Let's split.

(group chatter)

>> Thanks Marcy.

Okay.

I'm just gonna be about an hour,

an hour and a half tops, okay.

>> I'll be here.

>> Thank you.

>> Come on.

Come on.

>> Shit.

Hey.

Hey, hey.

What's going on

>> They're arresting Joe.

They pepper sprayed him,
beat the shit out him.

>> Why, what happened?

>> I don't know, someone
smashed some store windows

along Hastings and the
cops said Joe did it.

>> Hey, hey.

>> Stay back.

>> What's he being charged with?

>> Step back now!

>> What's he being charged
with? (punches thudding)

(soft music)

>> I think I'm kinda late.

Thanks very much. I can
just give you my coat, eh?

Okay.

There you are.

>> I'm so happy
you could make it.

>> I'm so glad.

(phone ringing)

I think that's my, I
gotta shut my phone off.

Excuse me, sorry.

>> Hi, how are you?
>> I left my phone in there.

(phone ringing)

Oh yeah, there it is.

No it's not, is
your phone ringing?

(phone ringing) Oh,
it's in there, I got it.

(phone ringing)

It's in the inside pocket.

Okay, sorry.

>> Are you ready?

>> Yeah, I'm good now.

>> Okay.
>> Da Vinci: Shut it off.

>> All right, this is Zack.

You're not picking
up your telephone.

(sirens blaring)

The cops arrested Friedland.

They're getting ready to
clear out the whole joint.

You know, somebody's gonna
get their head cracked open

and you swore to me

that this wasn't gonna happen.

So call them off.

(beeping)

>> Sorry.

(beeping) It's my pager,
I can turn that off.

>> Okay.

(group chatter)

(soft music)

All right, first of all,

I want to thank
everyone for attending

the seventh annual
AIDS awareness evening.

Now we have a very special
guest of honor tonight,

a gentleman who
all of who are here

and active in the cause

are very much aware of,

and those who aren't,

let me just say that he has
been a very early supporter

of AIDS awareness.

And in his previous
career as city coroner,

was instrumental in making
us aware of what we could do

to help stop the spread
of this terrible disease.

Now ladies and gentlemen,

our new mayor,

the honorable Dominic Da Vinci.

(applause)

>> Thank you.

(applause)

(sirens blaring)

>> Get inside everybody.

Everybody get inside.

We're gonna barricade
the main door.

Everybody, come on.

Come on, get inside, okay.

>> You know, it is
many years ago now

that I started saying
that we had an HIV crisis

here in Vancouver.

>> We gonna barricade
the main door

like we're gonna
make a stand, right.

You know, get some mattresses,

score up some mattresses.

Come on.

Come on you guys.

(siren blaring)

>> And we formulated this,

what I thought
was a simple plan,

and it met some considerable
vocal resistance,

but it was embraced and
supported by, I think perhaps

many of you right here
in this room tonight.

>> Get everybody
out the back door

in groups of twos
and threes, okay.

Now the waterfront roads,

the railroad tracks,

the railroad tracks go all
the way to the park, okay.

Don't draw attention
to yourselves, okay.

Keep it nice and cool, okay.

Twos and threes.

>> Well, the needle
exchange program

was established and has
been very effective.

And then we put
together that plan

for the safe injection site.

Right now, I want to inform you

that we are
formulating a new plan,

which continues the same agenda.

And I'll be asking for your
support once again for it.

And I can pretty
much guarantee you

this is gonna be like a
sharp stick in the eye

to more than a few
citizens out there.

So tonight, it's that time again

to share the wealth.

I want you to dig
those checkbooks out

and help some of these
folks down there.

And while you're doing that,

adding a few extra zeroes

to assure I have
the money tonight.

I understand the--

(punches and kicks thudding)

That's a little
introduction for you.

Car keys right now,

I don't think anybody's
gonna be driving home.

Anyway, thanks again.

I look forward to
your contributions.

(applause)

(soft music)
(group chatter)

(soft music)

(laughs)
