[woman sobbing]

[man pounding] >> Carmen!

Open the door!

Carmen!

[Carmen sobbing]

Carmen open the door!

Carmen!

[Carmen sobbing]

[horns blaring]

Open the door!

Come on, Carmen!

Carmen!

Carmen!

>> So I got my own two kids, plus her two.

That's four kids in the house all of a sudden.

She's on strike, I'm working extra shifts

just to keep the refrigerator half full.

>> She's a teacher?

>> Yeah, elementary school. >> Oh man.

They're getting screwed.

>> Ah, she's always pissed off too.

>> Hey, hey! >> She comes home, she tries--

>> My girlfriend's flipping out.

She's trying to kill herself.

>> Whoa, where is she now? >> Up on the roof here!

>> Can you take me up there? >> Yeah, yeah!

>> Cop: All right.

>> Cop: All right, I'll call fire and rescue.

>> Any history of mental health problems?

>> Boyfriend: Yeah, quite a few.

>> She attempted this before? >> I think so, yeah.

[somber music]

>> What's going on?

>> Dunno, somebody on the roof maybe.

Hey look, you should get back on the sidewalk

across the street okay?

>> I don't see anybody.

>> Just clear the road, will you please?

It's okay, come on.

Thank you!

>> Dominic: What time's this dinner with the PM?

>> Seven. >> Seven?

How many people?

You know where I'm sitting, where?

>> You are the head of the table, 200 people altogether.

>> 200?

I've only got like a minute and a half to talk to the guy.

I can see it now, goddamn it.

How close am I to him?

>> Three seats down. >> Beautiful.

What are they soaking, how much a plate is this thing?

>> A grand.

>> It's a G note a plate?

What's happening with this red zone tour now?

Has he confirmed anything with us?

>> We haven't heard, I don't know.

>> You know what you do, get on the horn,

see if you can pull the PM's schedule.

>> Okay.

>> So the boyfriend says

she has a history of mental problems.

Lately she stopped taking her medication.

She's got into the crack.

She tried to get into a recovery house,

but they couldn't get her a spot

for another couple of months.

>> Yeah, you guys get a chance to speak with her?

>> No, she blocked the door to the roof with a two by four.

Took me five minutes to break the door down.

>> You guys called fire and rescue at what time?

>> As soon as we heard she was threatening to jump.

>> By the time they got here,

she'd already jumped is that it?

>> Yeah, I don't know what took 'em so long.

It's only three minutes to the hall from here, max.

Would've been good to have had that ladder truck here.

>> Yeah right.

You guys aren't going anywhere.

I can get back to you right?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay, I'll talk to you. >> All right.

>> All right, hold on.

Sam says the VMO can't send you the minister's schedule,

just the event you're invited to.

It's a security issue.

>> Total horseshit.

>> That's horseshit apparently.

>> Hey get ahold of the head of security there.

>> Call the head of security.

>> Dominic: He's an old horseman.

He'll talk to me.

>> Old horseman, mayor wants to talk to him.

>> Looks like we got a traffic stop.

[radios crackling]

[sirens chirp]

>> I need to talk to you in a minute okay?

>> What's the hold up?

>> We've had a fatality.

You can just swing around there if you like.

>> Driver: Thanks.

>> Mick, Leary!

>> Mr. Mayor. >> How's it going?

What's happening here?

>> We've had a woman jump off the roof here.

Yeah, police are saying that fire and rescue

were a little slow in responding

and they're saying they got the call after she jumped

so there's a bit of a time discrepancy going on.

>> Well what is going on?

>> Police are saying if they had the ladder truck,

they would've had a chance to get to her, right?

Fire and rescue are saying

they were here within 2 1/2 minutes.

So I don't know, I'm gonna sort it out.

>> Stop with this bullshit.

>> Yes hello? >> I'll sort it out.

Talk to you later. >> This can't continue.

>> Take it easy. >> Yeah, do call me.

>> Yep.

>> Rita: His schedule, right.

The prime minister's schedule.

>> Chief would like you to take a look

at the prime minister's schedule

and talk about it when you have a minute.

>> Thank you, I will be right in.

>> Okay. [phone rings]

>> Sergeant Klotchko.

>> Hey Charlie, Sam Berger in the mayor's office.

>> Sam, how you doing? >> Good.

How'd you enjoy that football game?

>> Great, I got really hammered.

>> Good.

Listen, with the prime minister visit coming up so fast,

I was hoping we could get together

and talk about the schedule a little bit,

see what we might be able to

possibly get you a chance to meet him.

>> Charlie: Oh yeah, okay.

>> You got it handy there, the schedule?

>> Right in front of me.

>> You mind, could you fire over a copy?

I got a bad fax here, I can't read it.

>> Yeah, I'll email it to you.

We'll talk tomorrow okay?

>> Okay, tonight would be better you know?

I gotta juggle a few things.

You know how it is.

>> Soon as I can, okay?

>> Okay, thank you.

>> Okay so he's got a seven o'clock breakfast

at his hotel with a few local businessmen.

Floyd Manning's bunch.

That is totally covered by horsemen.

And then they travel.

We'll be doing the motorcycle guard out to university

to dedicate a new building,

and lunch is back downtown at the hotel with port officials.

>> What's this between two and three?

>> I think that's just his private time.

That's what security told me.

They usually let him deal with business back east,

or whatever's pressing.

There's no way you're getting in there.

>> Then let's see if we can't get in at this luncheon.

Give his handlers a call, see what the opportunity is.

>> Okay, there's also dinner at the Pacific.

I don't know if you want to go there.

>> Man: It's not too late.

>> Thousand dollars a plate?

>> There should be funds set aside

somewhere for that, Charlie.

>> Yeah, let me get into it.

>> Now what's this the following evening?

Looks like he's got a free block of time in there.

>> No, private engagement.

Floyd Manning I think.

>> Man: Let's see what's happening there.

[steam hisses]

>> I understand that the decision's already been taken.

You're gonna go ahead and investigate

that corrupt shooting mess now.

>> I am, yes.

>> I thought you were gonna give me a heads up there.

>> I'm sorry you got that impression.

>> Normal protocol, isn't it?

>> No.

The Police Complaints Commission is an independent body.

We're not required to inform anyone, thank you.

>> So now what we've got is RCMP

investigating the Vancouver Police Department.

Where do you suppose that's gonna go?

>> I'm not gonna try and predict, that's not my job.

>> Well, it is part of my job.

I look out in the morning and I see some ugly gray clouds,

I'm gonna predict rain.

Now if I see that the RCMP's gonna take an opportunity

to smear the Vancouver Police Department,

because they think they oughta be running

the whole goddamn city, excuse me,

or any undue fault finding,

I'm gonna predict that I'm gonna have to

prepare the city for the consequences of that.

>> I really don't think you're gonna see any of that.

>> Can I ask you a question?

Have you got any police experience at all sir?

>> Kaspar: 10 years with the horsemen.

>> Dominic: 10 years?

Okay, well you understand police culture a little bit.

>> Kaspar: I hope so.

>> Okay let's make the bet an aside, just you and me.

Let's just say this, okay?

I bet you that your commission's

gonna come down pretty hard

on the Vancouver Police Department

and hang 'em out to dry on this.

You know why?

That's the tendency, that's the culture.

They hate each other and I'm gonna be left

to deal with the consequences of that.

Do you understand where I'm coming from?

>> Who's better to investigate the police than the police?

Who else is trained to investigate police matters?

>> Who?

The coroner, any ex crown prosecutor.

You could have any criminal lawyer

'cause they've all got good investigative experience.

I could see any one of those guys or a combination thereof.

>> I think the point here is that fire and rescue

asked us to investigate, and I intend to do that.

>> Is there no way I can talk you out of that?

>> No. >> No way?

>> Kaspar: No.

Is there anything else?

>> Yeah, you just let me know okay?

'Cause I gotta prepare for the consequences like I said.

You know that fire and rescue

already have a job action going right?

Are you aware?

>> I'll be in touch.

>> Thank you.

>> Morning Mr. Mayor.

>> Dominic: Morning, how are you doing?

>> Just wanted to say hello.

>> Oh good, I'm glad you did.

Nice to meet you. >> Thank you.

>> Hope you're having a better day than I am.

>> So this guy's not a cop?

>> No, he's the coroner.

He's also a friend.

You just explain everything to him

just like you did to me, okay?

Hey Mick. >> Hey.

>> Good to see ya. >> Hey Brian.

>> This is Andrew. >> Andrew, Mick Leary.

Nice to meet ya.

>> I'll leave you to it.

>> Yeah, thanks a lot.

I appreciate you coming forward to talk with me, Andrew.

Do you feel the need to be

somewhere more private or is this okay for ya?

>> No, this is fine. >> Yeah?

Detective Curtis was telling me

that you've been to the Century Club.

>> Andrew: Yeah.

>> Mick: When was that?

>> The night before Halloween.

>> Yeah?

What happened?

>> Well, it didn't go down like a normal trick.

There was a few people involved

and they made a big deal about it.

>> Yeah?

>> One guy picked me up in a green truck

and made me put on a blindfold.

>> You manage to get a look at him?

>> Yeah I saw him before I put on the blindfold.

He was wearing a Halloween mask,

then he drove me to that club.

>> How do you know where you were being driven

if you were wearing a blindfold?

>> I could see a little

through the right hand side on the bottom.

>> Yeah?

Okay then what happened?

>> He drove me around downtown in circles for a while,

then before he turned underground

I saw that Chinese store at the corner beside the alley.

>> Yeah, you know it was that store for sure?

>> Yeah, I recognized the sandwich board they got.

>> Okay.

>> So then we got out of the car

in the underground parking lot.

Then got into an elevator.

We went up a few flights,

and then went into a room.

Then he took off the blindfold,

and that's when I, you know,

did what I was paid to do.

>> How many people were involved?

>> Two old guys. >> Old guys?

Not including the guy from the car?

>> No.

Two old guys.

>> White guys? >> Yeah, white.

>> You manage to hear anybody

mention a name during any of this, you remember?

>> I think one of them called the other guy Eric.

>> Eric.

Okay.

Gotta get yourself off the street, bud.

These guys play for keeps, I'm not kidding ya.

>> Hey, sorry I'm late.

>> Man: That's no problem.

>> I just came back from seeing

the Police Complaints Commissioner, Kaspar over there.

I managed to persuade him

to investigate your complaint.

>> He's going to take it on?

>> Yes sir.

>> Good. >> Yeah.

>> Man: Thank you.

>> So now you've gotta do your bit.

You've gotta go out there

and convince your members to stop the bullshit.

>> What bullshit exactly is that you're talking about?

>> You know exactly what bullshit I'm talking about.

You gotta tell your members

that everybody down here is trying to do the right thing.

There is going to be an investigation,

so let's just everybody go back to work as usual

and I don't want to hear anymore

about guys not showing up for their shifts

or people dragging their heels on a call.

That can't happen.

>> I have no say over any kind of job action

they may decide to take.

That's union business.

>> All right, well what you have to do now

is you have to actually sell this investigation

to your members and you have to prepare them,

'cause you're gonna have to accept the results here too.

That's the downside to this whole thing.

If the Police Complaints Commissioner comes back

with a finding that you guys are in the wrong,

that there was a notice left there and you're culpable,

you're gonna have to live with that.

>> I'm not sure that's gonna be the case.

>> Well, can't have it both ways in this world,

so let's just try and use this to calm the waters

and get everybody happy again.

Can we at least try and do that?

>> What's Chief Jacob's reaction?

>> I imagine he's gonna be pretty pissed.

>> I expect you'll be having a similar conversation with him

about his people accepting the investigation?

>> Of course I'm gonna have that,

gonna have that exact same conversation with him absolutely.

>> All right. >> All right?

>> Thank you for your efforts.

>> Well thank you, you know?

And just let your members know that it's underway

and it's all gonna come out in the wash.

>> I've got the PM's schedule.

Sergeant Klotchko finally sent it over.

>> Yeah, well so do I.

Guess what?

It's in the newspaper today.

It's not good enough, I don't want that.

>> Just a reminder, we do have

the slots vote in council today.

>> I'm aware of that.

I wanna know what's happening with the prime minister.

Is he gonna come on this red zone tour, is he not?

It's as simple as that.

>> Yes sir.

>> Dominic: Thank you.

>> Yes, Vera.

>> Mr. Kaspar from the Police Complaints Commission called.

>> What's he want this time?

>> He wants you to know

that he'll be authorizing an investigation

of the Gorup shooting.

>> Get Charlie in here, goddamn it!

Charlie!

Thank you Vera.

>> What's up?

>> I'm gonna have to talk to

Inspector Arkin over at organized crime.

>> Okay, what's going on?

>> The goddamn Complaints Commission is investigating.

Vera, get Kaspar on the phone.

>> He'll be able to speak to the prime minister at dinner.

I believe the mayor's sitting beside him.

>> Uh-huh, he is but the mayor

doesn't want to monopolize him.

He realizes he's got to press the flesh a little.

You know what we were hoping is that you could confirm

what was already sort of promised.

That the prime minister would take a tour

of the red light zone.

>> I don't think that's gonna happen.

It's a quick trip with a tight turnaround

and a lot of people need time with him, so may be better

to arrange something next time he's out west.

>> Well, we do keep hearing through back channels

that he does want to see the red zone.

>> What back channels are we talking about?

>> Lord Manning?

>> Okay.

Let me see if I can make that happen.

>> Your friend from the prime minister's

security detail is on the phone.

>> Thank you.

Yeah, Charlie what's up?

When is this supposed to happen?

Well, wait a minute, hang on.

I'd have to say that is not a secure area.

I mean, I wouldn't be taking the PM

down the middle of crackheads and hookers.

I mean that is a wild street.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bill?

>> Lloyd: Just a couple of things

before the vote on the slots hell.

>> Jesus Christ, Lloyd.

We've had a lot of concessions already, why?

>> Well just hear me out.

Okay none of the parks department is telling

that we have to give up

one of the parking lots at the racetrack.

>> Yeah.

>> If that happens, I'm gonna

have to build an underground parking lot.

>> That's right, you gotta work with the community.

If the community wants to have a park,

you're gonna have to put your parking lot underground.

>> Can you back 'em off?

>> No I can't.

I gotta stay right out of it.

>> Council meeting?

>> This thing is gonna be a huge expense to me.

I mean the whole thing's starting to look prohibitive.

>> I know, but you've got a park lease,

now if you want the slots you're gonna pay the piper.

All right, I gotta run.

Jesus.

>> Welcome back counsel.

If you could take a look at this.

>> That's Phillips.

What's Phillips doing here?

He's supposed to be in the goddamn Bahamas.

>> He came back last night for the vote.

>> Oh Jesus goddamn Christ.

What if I lose?

>> We should defer the vote and jam it to the next meeting.

That'll buy us some time to strategize.

>> He's right here, hang on.

Norman Flynn, head of the PM security detail.

>> Yeah Norm, it's Chief Jacobs.

How are ya?

Listen, Charlie Klotchko tells me you guys are thinking

about taking the prime minister

into the red zone for a tour.

Uh-huh.

>> I've got him an invitation

to the luncheon, noon at the Hotel Vancouver.

>> Well, there's violence down there just about every night.

It's volatile.

You never know.

Yeah, well, I don't agree with the mayor.

I think it's a security risk and I'm going on record

that I'm opposed to the idea.

>> In fact I think what's much more likely

to result in increased crime is the massive loss of jobs

we'll be seeing if these slots aren't approved.

>> Thank you, counselor Phillips?

>> Yeah.

Well I've been hearing a lot today about save the track,

save the track, which I have to say

is a really poor excuse to introduce

such a corruptive form of gambling into one of our parks,

and residential neighborhoods

and worst of all, this issue's being used

as a scare tactic to garner support

of the track workers for slot machines.

>> Dominic: Thank you.

Counselor Pierce?

>> Thank you.

This being the contentious issue that it is,

I think it might be wise to digest

everything we've heard today, and vote next council meeting.

>> Okay the motion is then to defer the vote

on this application 'til the next council meeting.

Can I see all those in favor?

One, two, three, four.

I'd like just to remind council

of the importance of a vote on this.

Bylaw amendments, everybody just take a deep breath here.

This motion is to table this vote 'til next council meeting.

Can I see all hands in favor?

Opposed?

That's five in favor and five opposed,

so this motion does not carry.

So here we go then.

This is the motion for the application

to amend the zoning bylaw with respect to 2901 East Hastings

to allow slot machines.

All those in favor?

All those opposed?

That's five in favor, five opposed.

Application is denied.

Damn it.

Thought you said that Ferlinger was a goddamn lock.

>> That's what she told me.

>> Jesus Christ.

You'd better get Manning on the phone.

>> Rita: Okay.

>> We have a witness statement that has the two Native boys

last being seen climbing in Dubreau's limo.

>> Has he been questioned?

>> No, not officially.

>> What's the holdup?

>> Well he's well protected by his lawyers.

If we bring him in for questioning now,

might give him a chance to clean up,

maybe influence other witnesses.

>> You don't think there's enough here for an arrest?

>> Dubreau may not be the only part of this.

There might be other parties involved.

Better to see who else we might

be able to bring in the door.

Still seems weak to me, and I bet the crown would agree.

>> I'll talk to the crown.

I think it's time to move on it.

>> Okay, I'll let my detectives know.

>> Thank you, Sheila.

>> Okay, so I spoke to the PM's handler.

Said he's gonna try to persuade

the PM to go on the red zone tour.

>> Good. >> Yeah.

Had to drop Lloyd Manning's name.

>> That's okay.

How's Manning taking the news?

Does he know yet about the slot vote?

>> No, I heard a pretty disturbing rumor though.

>> What?

>> Well, people have been calling from out at the track

and word is Manning sold his lease to Roger Woo yesterday.

>> Sold the lease?

>> Apparently he flipped it for a five million dollar profit.

>> The chief is pushing for an arrest.

>> You arrest Dubreau right now,

and this whole thing vaporizes.

I got a new witness says this shit's

still going on at the Century Club.

>> Well, Jacobs has got his nose into it.

He wants us to move on it.

>> I don't think you have enough evidence.

Why is he pushing this thing so hard?

>> Personally in my opinion

I think he's desperate for some good press

and he thinks this'll give it to him.

But you know what, you should get into it with him.

We're way down the food chain.

>> Hey Claire.

>> Yes sir?

>> Get me a meeting with Chief Jacobs as soon as you can.

Oh, do me another?

I need you to do me a real quick favor.

Call up the Century Club.

>> You shook my hand, Lloyd.

You shook my hand and you told me

you were not gonna sell this racetrack.

>> Things change.

>> Jesus Christ, Lloyd.

>> Were you gonna sell it to Roger Woo anyway

if I didn't buy it.

I don't really see the big problem.

>> You don't see the problem, aside from the fact

that I spent the last month and a half

listening to you as you bullshitted me

for a month and a half?

Aside from the fact that I go around

telling everybody you're gonna be a good corporate citizen,

gonna live up to your pledges.

>> It's just business.

Roger Woo's gonna do a good job for you.

>> Well, yeah now there's no slots there

how long do you suppose Roger Woo's gonna hang in?

>> He'll make it work.

He's got a lot of experience.

>> I just wanna know one thing from you.

Why did you do it that way?

Why did you flip this racetrack

before the goddamn vote on the slots went down?

>> I went with my gut feeling.

>> No, that's bullshit.

You flipped that racetrack 'cause you knew

that vote on council was gonna go that way.

Did you know about that?

>> Lloyd: You're reading way too much into it.

>> Did you influence Sandra Ferlinger?

>> You're reading too much into this.

>> Tell me what I'm reading into this.

I mean you screwed me, I'm not gonna forget it.

>> Lloyd: All I did was do

what any good businessman would do.

>> What any good businessman would do?

A good businessman would not screw the city

the way you just did.

I don't think so.

This is the last piece of business you and I ever do, pal.

>> I'm sorry to hear that.

>> Don't come to me looking

for any help or any advice anymore.

>> I'm sorry you feel that way.

>> Ever.

[gulls cawing]

>> Talked to the Century Club.

They said on October the 30th

there was only one upstairs room rented out.

>> Okay to who?

>> They said it was reserved by the BC Judicial Society.

>> The Judicial Society?

>> They wouldn't give me any names,

just the organization.

>> Thank you Claire. >> You're welcome.

>> Wow.

>> Now the slots aren't happening,

I've gotta weigh my options.

>> What does that mean?

>> Well the way I look at it,

I'm gonna have to try and sell the lease.

>> Oh this is such bullshit.

Do you know what kind of shitstorm it's gonna be

if you don't make a go of it down there?

I just can't have people just flipping

this racetrack back and forth.

>> If the slots had gone through,

I would've made a good go of it,

but now I'm losing money every day I keep the track open.

I didn't buy it to operate as a charity.

>> Okay look, if you could just bear with me here.

This is what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go back to council

and I'm gonna have what's known as a reconsideration vote

and this time, I will not lose that vote.

>> Yeah, we're talking quite a ways down the road aren't we?

>> Not necessarily.

>> If you want me to carry the track

until we can get the slot machines voted in,

which would take what, at least another two years?

>> No, no.

>> I'm gonna have to ask you for some sort of concessions.

>> Dominic: What kind of concessions?

>> If we were to receive some casino licenses

for other locations in the city,

that would help us carry the track.

>> Casino licenses?

There's a limit on those.

I can't just grant those.

>> Three licenses would probably allow us

to keep on holding the racetrack.

>> I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one.

>> I understand.

>> All right.

You know how much Lloyd Manning made on this resale,

what about five mil he put in his pocket.

>> I'm aware.

>> Yeah.

>> Nice seeing you again, sir.

>> Well, you too.

>> My client is now willing to cooperate

and admit to her role in the Stanley Park beating.

>> And her role was what?

>> Katie: I was there.

>> Can you name who else was there?

>> My client's cooperation is contingent

upon a deal with the crown being in place.

>> I don't think we're ready

to take her word for what occurred.

So far she's been totally uncooperative,

and we've got several witnesses

that were saying Katie was the instigator.

>> That's total bullshit.

They're just saying that

because they're scared of these guys.

So was I.

That's why I lied to you.

>> Well who are these guys?

>> Come on, I'd like to see some sort of guarantee

on the table before Katie discloses their identity.

>> You're not getting any guarantee.

She names these guys, we go talk to them,

and then we decide who gets charged with what.

>> They're the guys you want.

I saw them hold the guy's head underwater.

>> Okay, great.

Let's hear it.

[Katie sighs]

[foghorn blares]

>> Hey, thanks for coming.

All right, the Police Complaints Commission

has ordered an independent investigation.

That means the RCMP is gonna be coming to see you.

>> Jesus.

Okay.

All right.

>> I don't think you have to talk to them.

You can refer them to your lawyer

and she can give them your statements.

>> I can do that?

>> Yeah.

You should tell your lawyer

that you're under too much stress,

and that another interrogation

is just too much for you to handle.

Maybe go to a doctor and say you're feeling

like you got a touch of post-traumatic stress disorder.

>> How's that gonna affect my reinstatement?

>> No effect at all, it's totally normal.

It's almost expected.

In fact, if you don't show some effects from the shooting

that's gonna look a little unusual.

Anyway, go to your lawyer and tell her how you feel.

You don't want to talk

to the horsemen when they come around.

>> Okay.

But before I agree to that, I gotta have

some sort of assurance I'm gonna get reinstated.

I need your word on that.

>> You got it.

There's a coroner's liaison position opening up.

We're gonna put you in there.

That's a sweet gig.

Do that for a year or so, come back into regular duty.

>> That sounds good.

Thank you.

>> Beautiful.

>> Oh.

Hey, how you doing?

>> Dominic, I just had lunch with the prime minister.

>> Dominic: Yeah, how'd that go?

>> Very well.

Chief of police was there.

He happened to corner the prime minister for a few minutes.

He gave him an earful about the negative effect

of the safe injection site,

and the negative impact of the red zone.

So the thing is, I don't think you're gonna get a chance

to tour the PM down there.

>> Damn it, okay.

Well thanks, thank you anyway for this Bob.

>> Bob: All right.

>> Sanjay?

Hi, how ya doing?

Yeah it's Dominic.

Are you in Vancouver?

Oh okay, I need your help.

I'm having trouble getting through to the prime minister.

Yeah, well he sort of loosely promised me.

>> Sanjay: I was at the lunch.

I overheard the whole thing.

>> Yeah?

What did the police chief have to say for himself?

>> Basically what you already know.

That the red zone here is dangerous, volatile, violent.

>> No, no, no, it's none of those things okay?

We had a few initial problems down there setting up,

but most of that was caused by the police themselves

trying to interfere with the

normal functioning of the place.

Look, it's totally safe down there.

Trust me, I would not have asked the prime minister

to come down there if I could not guarantee his safety.

>> I'll talk to him.

I can't say he'll want to go down there,

but I know he wants to talk to you.

He has some other issues he wants to discuss with you.

>> Dominic: What other issues?

>> You know we're a little down in the polls

out here in the west.

>> Oh down, you're funny.

Yeah, it's not exactly a stronghold for you guys, why?

>> Not exactly, which is the point.

Your approval ratings are higher

than anybody we've seen in your office for over a decade.

>> Uh-huh.

>> And the prime minister thinks you're a good candidate.

We want to know if we should be grooming you

for taking a run at the premier's office,

or if not that something federal.

>> Nobody's grooming me for anything, okay?

I'm not interested in anything provincial,

or federal for that matter.

It's right here, okay?

This is where I'm happy.

>> I think you should have a conversation.

>> Why?

>> Well let the PM know what your political concerns are.

>> My concerns are the city right here.

This is all I care about,

and I don't wanna be stringing him along.

>> Have the conversation.

You're going to be at the dinner tonight.

I'll carve out 10 or 20 minutes.

You can have a good chat.

That will get you some leverage.

>> Yeah all right, fine.

We can have the conversation.

It's 10 minutes with the prime minister, what the hell?

Yeah.

>> These guys are still operating.

They're still picking up kids.

This thing's pervasive.

When James Dubreau is arrested,

I'm afraid the rest of these guys are gonna disappear,

maybe leave the country.

At least they're gonna cover their tracks.

>> So how close are you to getting the evidence

you need to proceed on some of these other charges?

>> I got another witness.

He's a street kid, he's underage.

Said he was taken to the Century Club a couple weeks ago

where he had sex with two older men.

>> Okay, and?

>> The night that happened, the room was rented out

to the BC Judicial Society.

>> Really? >> Really.

>> So what do you want?

>> More time to pursue it.

>> I can have homicide hold off

a few more days maybe, but that's it.

>> Mick: That's all.

>> I need you to get whatever you've got

on this Judicial Society over to sex crimes right away.

They need to be aware of this.

>> Got it.

>> We got totally screwed on that vote for the racetrack.

I guess you heard about that.

>> Where does that leave us

as far as bringing on the new police officers?

>> Totally screwed there.

Without slot revenues, there is no new cops.

Now I'm not raising property taxes.

People are getting hosed there enough as it is.

Now it's Roger Woo I'm concerned about.

He's not gonna hang in there at the racetrack.

Not unless we support

some casino applications that he wants.

>> You want me to look into that?

>> Might as well.

>> Okay. >> I don't like a gun

getting put to my head,

but let's just play along and see what it takes.

>> Okay.

>> What's up?

>> Hey, I just got a call from Sanjay.

>> And?

>> You're gonna have drinks with the prime minister

after dinner, and that's just you and him in his suite.

>> Oh that's great news, finally okay.

Who am I meeting with now?

>> Sandra Ferlinger and Ben Solomon.

You want some privacy?

>> Yeah, think so.

What a goddamn pair you two make.

That's a beautiful sight, the two of you--

>> Rajinder.

Can I talk to you for a second please?

>> What the hell went on in there today?

You totally screwed me in the council chambers today.

Is there any explanation for that?

>> Manning flipped the property.

You were screwed anyway!

>> Well okay, there's 50 new officers

that I promised passed down the tubes.

But hundreds and hundreds of jobs

have just disappeared overnight.

About 1,000 horses will be heading

down that road to the glue factory.

On top of that, Roger Woo is gonna flip that racetrack.

That means the doors are gonna close.

We're gonna lose an entire season,

and there goes an industry right down the tubes

thanks to your little games over there.

>> He can't flip it.

We make it a heritage site, nobody will touch it.

>> Excuse me?

>> We can have a meeting as soon as next week

that declares the entire track a heritage site.

>> Oh yeah? >> Which gives the city time

to organize taking over the track ourselves.

>> Rita, could you get in here and grab Sam,

drag him in here too.

>> I've been researching the heritage laws

for my hockey rink.

Remind me, I want to ask a favor for that.

Hastings Park qualifies for class A heritage status.

>> You're trying to tell me that we can turn the racetrack

into a class A heritage site, possible?

>> I think so.

>> This better be a legit way of doing this.

I'm telling you right now, 'cause I'll be asking

for both your resignations.

>> It's legit.

And I took a poll after you stormed out of council.

Most councilors are with us on this one.

>> Most of 'em?

>> In fact, we can call an extraordinary meeting

immediately if you like.

Before Mr. Woo finds out about it?

>> Tonight?

>> Yes. >> You can do it tonight?

>> Absolutely.

>> Ooh, Roger Woo's gonna be pissed.

>> Let's get the lawyers involved,

hash it out tonight before it leaks.

>> Yeah I don't know, I don't know.

Yeah better get the lawyers involved with this big time.

Hey Sam, I need you to go pull Judy

out of that committee room.

Let's get her opinion on this.

She knows a lot about this shit.

I just don't know, I just don't know.

>> Man: Hey how's it going?

>> Hey, good.

What's happening?

>> Not much.

I'm one of the organizers of the CRAB Park squad.

>> Oh right, I recognize you.

>> Yeah, I recognize you too.

You're dealing dope down there.

>> What's the problem?

>> I'm getting pressure from police

to turn in anybody I see dealing there.

>> I'm not dealing.

>> I just don't wanna be naming any names, you know?

So I thought I'd give you the heads up

that they're gonna send some narcs in to bust you guys.

>> I'm not dealing.

>> Good, won't be any problem then when they bust the place.

>> When's this gonna go down?

>> I don't know, could be any time now.

>> Okay, thanks.

>> Hey Zack, how you doing?

Long time no see.

>> Yeah well, that's the job my friend.

>> Oh yeah?

>> Rita: Are you canceling the PM's dinner tonight,

or can you go?

>> No, I've gotta forget it

and I gotta get all this sorted out

so send my regrets, okay?

>> Okay, Roger Woo called.

He's requesting a meeting tomorrow

about his casino licenses.

>> Oh yeah.

>> Did you want to string him along?

>> Yeah, set that up. >> Okay.

>> Dominic: Okay what do we know?

>> Okay here's what I think happened.

I asked Rajinder to do a little poking around.

He's got friends in the real estate business in Delta.

>> Oh okay, and?

>> Roger Woo has been assembling land in Delta.

>> Dominic: Yes.

>> He's planning a racetrack facility out there.

>> He's what?

>> For that to happen,

Hastings Racecourse has to go belly up.

Yeah, so Woo gets together with Manning.

They figure if the slots don't go,

the track here under Woo's stewardship

will eventually be phased out.

All the horse business will go to Woo's facility in Delta.

>> Leaving Hastings to revert to parkland.

>> Yeah, these guys got big bags of money.

They can afford to piss away five or 10 million.

>> So he comes to me and starts begging for casino licenses

because he wants to keep that track operating.

>> Yeah, which he'll do for a little while

and then he'll start screaming it's costing him

too much to keep alive as a track.

>> He never wanted the slot vote to go through.

>> No, they just wanted to get in there and buy the track

before somebody else who could make a go of it did.

They've been screwing us since day one.

>> Now they're laughing at us.

Jesus Christ.

Do you know for sure this is happening?

He's putting together this racetrack in Delta?

>> I have friends in the horse breeding community out there.

>> Oh yeah.

>> They told me Mr. Woo's been promising them a new racetrack

for the last six months.

>> And do you know for sure that he's already

assembled the land out there?

>> Yes, he's planning a mile and a half track

and a big casino.

>> Damn to Jesus!

[suspenseful music]

>> What's up?

>> You getting in?

>> What's the deal?

>> Same as before, let's go.

>> Andrew: Where are we going, same place?

>> Don't worry about that.

>> No blindfold?

>> What's this? [sirens wail]

>> License and registration.

>> What's the problem?

>> This a friend of yours?

>> Just giving him a ride.

>> Yeah?

Take the ID out of the wallet, please sir.

You, get out of the car and wait for me on the sidewalk.

I'm gonna give you a warning this time.

>> What'd I do?

>> You just picked up a known sex trade worker,

and your name and vehicle are going on a watch list.

>> I was just giving him a ride.

>> Have a nice night.

>> Andrew: You just cost me a bunch of money.

I hope you know that.

>> I'll make it up to you.

Get in the car, I'll give you a ride.

>> All these things need to go to lawyers tomorrow

so everyone have a last look.

>> Tomorrow, it's today already.

>> Yeah, it's gonna take most of the day to get this done

so everybody sit tight.

I don't want a word of this to leak out.

>> Not a word.

I'll lock everybody in the office if I have to.

If this thing goes sideways,

there's gonna be blood on the floor.

>> Okay.

>> Dominic: Trust me.

>> So by the end of the day, Hastings Park

becomes a heritage site and any attempt by Woo

to flip the track will be stonewalled.

>> Julia?

What did you find out?

Can we even run this track ourselves?

>> We can.

>> How are we gonna do that?

How are we gonna keep the jobs down there in the short term?

>> We go to the province,

ask them for a special gaming license.

>> Casino licenses?

From the province?

And if they say no?

>> Then we take over existing licenses

and transfer them to the track.

>> Oh, we can do that?

All right.

You know I'm thinking all this stuff

has to go to lawyers anyways.

Ain't no reason for us to be here anymore today.

Why don't you everybody go home?

>> Right. >> Beautiful job.

>> Thank you.

>> Way to go everyone, nice job.

>> Goodnight. >> Sam.

>> Sam: Goodnight.

>> Woman: Goodnight.

>> Sandra.

I'm still pissed.

[Sandra sighs]

[rain patters]

>> Sanjay Gohill called.

He's very disappointed you couldn't make it last night.

>> Well, did he say anything

about the prime minister coming out to the red zone?

>> Nothing about that, just that he was disappointed

and Roger Woo is in your office.

>> Ooh see if you can get Sanjay on the phone for me.

>> Rita: Okay.

>> Dominic: Gentlemen, how are you doing?

>> Lawyers are all hard at it.

So far, so good, no problems.

We'll have the racetrack designated a heritage site

by this afternoon close of business.

>> That's terrific.

What about the casino licenses?

>> I'm on with the minster in charge.

Says it's doable, but it might be politically dangerous.

They don't wanna get on the wrong side of the Woos.

>> It's kinda hard to figure out

what the right side of the Woos is.

Okay, well you just tell him

I'm gonna want to speak to him okay?

And if he doesn't wanna work this out,

I'm going right to the premier on it.

You wanna come in?

Come with me on this?

>> Yes sir.

>> Okay, just gotta keep bullshitting this guy

until we get the designation of the heritage site.

Goodbye, talk.

Roger Woo.

Well you're up early.

Oh sit down.

>> How you doing? >> Good morning.

How are you? >> You know Sam.

>> Yes of course. >> How are you?

>> I'm sorry about how the vote went on the slot machines.

I kinda thought that whole thing was a done deal there.

But I'm grateful for the fact

that you're down there at Hastings

and that you're so committed to keeping that track alive.

It's a huge relief for me.

>> Well I'm just hoping we can come to an agreement

that'll work for the both of us.

>> I'm sure we can.

Now what is it you're looking for

with these casino licenses?

>> We have three potential sites in the city.

Two are in our existing hotels.

The Veniet Plaza and the Mandarin Bay,

and the third one will be in our new hotel development

which is before the planning committee.

>> So three?

Okay.

Right, what do you think Sam?

>> Kind of revenue split

would we be seeing out of those Roger?

>> We'll be sending some revenue projections over for you.

>> It's instigated by the Police Complaints Commission.

As far as I'm concerned, it is an unwarranted investigation

completely without validity.

>> What should I be expecting?

>> Just a couple of old horsemen probably.

They'll wanna see all your

paperwork, forensic evidence, notebook.

>> I probably know him from somewhere.

It'll be okay.

>> You feel free to tell him that you'd rather not cooperate.

You got my backing on that.

>> Okay, sounds good.

What about that old guy was paired up with, Chick?

You talk to him yet?

>> Not yet.

>> 'Cause seemed to me he had his nose too deep in forensics.

He kept missing the big picture.

>> Well, we'll be speaking with him as well.

I don't think there's cause for concern, Charlie?

>> No, Chick's no problem.

He does what he's told.

>> That wasn't my impression.

Seemed to me he wasn't entirely

on board with my conclusions.

>> Man: I'll have a word with him.

[knocking]

>> Come in.

See here?

Come on in, Lloyd.

>> Hey Dominic.

I just wanted to stop by and apologize.

>> Well you could've done that over the phone.

>> Yeah well I guess so,

but I also have some good news

that I'd like to share with you.

>> Good news, like the racetrack good news?

'Cause we both know how well that one turned out.

>> Well, again I apologize,

but out of all that you know you were

talking about losing the sports franchise in the city?

Well I've been doing some homework.

I've been talking to the stadium owners here.

Now I'm a basketball fan,

so I start thinking

is there a franchise in trouble out there somewhere

that I could maybe relocate here?

>> What are you talking about?

You're talking about bringing a basketball franchise

back here to Vancouver?

>> I think it'll go, don't you?

>> Very interesting idea.

Very interesting.

Let me just grab my assistants.

I want them in on this one.

Hey Rita, where's Sam?

Can you find Sam for me?

Come on in here, I want you guys to hear this.

>> You didn't miss much at the PM's dinner the other night.

>> Dominic: No?

>> Everyone got like 10 seconds of his time.

It was like a zoo.

You'll see him tonight, anyway.

>> I will, is that for sure?

>> Yeah, I think so.

>> Good news, the prime minister's

up for the red zone tour tonight.

I guess we got through to his handlers.

>> I guess we did.

Congratulations, nice work.

Okay, I got some more good news.

Mr. Manning here wants to tell us

how he's gonna bring professional basketball

back here to Vancouver.

>> No kidding?

That's a good idea.

>> I think so too.

>> Dominic: Yeah, I got a question though.

>> Fire away.

>> I'm just curious how it is

you're gonna screw me this time, what's your pitch?

>> Everybody loves basketball.

You'll be a hero for bringing it back to the city.

You'll be known as the sports mayor.

Think of the jobs, you love jobs.

>> What's the hook?

>> I got a line on a franchise, it's gonna happen.

Either here or in another city, maybe Richmond.

So you don't wanna be known as the mayor

who screwed the city out of that, do ya?

>> No, not Richmond.

[ominous music]

>> Mr. Mayor. >> How you doing?

>> Norman Flynn. >> Yeah pleasure to meet you.

>> Good to meet you too.

The prime minister's just rolling in.

The idea is he'll ride with you.

We'll have just the two vehicles,

one behind, one ahead

and I'll ride up front with the driver.

>> Sounds good.

>> Good, great.

>> All right, we're all set then.

>> Here he comes.

[somber music]

>> Mr. Prime Minister. >> Mr. Da Vinci.

>> Dominic: How you doing?

>> Finally we get to meet.

>> I know, I gotta apologize to you.

>> You keep standing me up.

>> I gotta apologize about that.

We kinda had some civic business I had.

Couldn't get away.

>> Well, I understand.

It's always like that, some goddamn meeting

or another getting in the way right?

>> It's in the way.

>> So we're going in your car?

>> I thought we would.

Under the radar that way.

And we'll just cruise the street

and you can see for yourself how it's working.

>> That's fantastic.

Look, I brought you a little something.

I hear you like red wine.

>> Oh, you got your information, that's pretty solid!

>> Good.

>> Hey, thank you very much.

I appreciate it, thank you.

>> I'll just scoot in back here.

>> Okay.

Thank you Norman. >> You're welcome sir.

>> Tell me, why do you think this is gonna work here

when it's failed elsewhere?

>> Well it's because we put it in the end of town

that really serves the lower end of the trade.

So I don't think we're gonna be seeing the sex tourists.

This is really for the poorer,

the drug addicted workers, right?

It's not gonna cause us any problems

like it did in Amsterdam where there's

a sudden influx of sex trade workers from the eastern bloc.

I don't see that happening here.

>> And why is this better than placing these women

inside some building somewhere?

>> Well 'cause essentially the trades in the cars.

It's a drive through service,

but those johns are not gonna wanna go inside somewhere.

They want the anonymity.

The sex trade workers want the anonymity,

plus we got the services.

Training if they want a way out of the trade.

We got health services, a clinic right in there.

>> And it's successful so far?

>> Yeah, no problems at all.

You know the way it works, it's very simple.

A customer, a john pulls up to a security barrier.

He pulls up there, the constable takes a quick look,

you know a security check.

Then he goes along the street, he picks out his date,

they drive around the corner where we got a parking lot

and they put these partitions,

dividers between these stalls.

[sirens wail] >> Excuse me, sir?

Looks like a situation.

[sirens wail]

[somber music]

>> Hi.

Good evening sir.

>> What's happening?

>> There's been a stabbing.

One of the johns was having a dispute

with one of the prostitutes.

>> Right, okay.

Is it pretty serious?

>> Yes sir, it's a homicide.

>> Okay, thanks constable.

[sirens wail]
