(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)
