[car driving]

[car door opens]

[car doors slam]

>> Sorry to cut this short like this,

but I don't want to cause a distraction.

>> I understand totally.

I appreciate that you came with me tonight,

I really do.

>> I appreciate your efforts out here.

>> Oh, thank you very much.

>> We'll be seeing you at the mayor's conference

in a couple weeks, I hope?

>> Sure, I'll be there.

>> Okay, we'll set up some time.

>> Hope so. >> Good.

>> I look forward to that.

Thanks, I appreciate everything.

>> Goodnight.

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> You let us know what happened.

>> Yeah, definitely.

My office will keep in touch with you.

Thank you.

[phone beeps]

[car drives]

>> Sam?

Oh, thank god you're there.

Okay, there's been a homicide in the red zone tonight.

I want you to get down there.

I want you to keep an eye on things for me, okay?

[police siren]

[moody hip-hop music]

>> Thank you.

Hello.

What do we got here?

>> Vehicle's right back here.

Victim's a white male, looks to be in his thirties.

I didn't get in there to look around for anything yet.

We've got a constable and registration.

>> Any witnesses?

>> We've got this guy in this other car here.

He says he didn't see anything.

There's a prostitute that he's with.

She says the same thing.

>> All right.

Now who called it in?

>> One of the constables cruising the lot.

Actually, that's her right there.

>> Oh, thanks.

>> Constable.

>> Yeah.

>> You called it in?

>> Yeah.

>> You're assigned to zone.

>> Tonight I was.

>> So how did you discover this guy?

>> I was doing my patrol down the alley here.

And I noticed a vehicle on my second loop around.

And everyone else had cleared out except for these two cars.

And then I noticed the passenger door was wide open

so I thought I'd take a closer look.

And that's when I noticed the guy was dead.

>> You checked for vital signs?

>> Yeah, he was gone.

>> That's the weapon right there, I guess.

In the car seat, huh?

>> Yep.

>> All right.

We've got a couple of unused condoms there.

That might have come from the prostitute he was with.

>> Yeah, those are the same kind they give out at the clinic.

>> So she might have been in there sometime, huh?

>> Oh, probably.

>> Were you at the barricades watching

the johns enter tonight?

>> No, that was my partner.

He's still down there.

>> So whoever she was, she would have been

on a stroll tonight.

>> Oh, yeah.

She was working the street.

He saw somebody get in the car, just didn't say who.

>> All right, thank you.

>> I'm gonna go do my thing.

>> Yeah, absolutely.

Okay.

Thanks.

Hey, Charlie.

What the hell is going on?

>> A john got stabbed in the heart a couple times.

'Scuse me, I've got to make a call.

>> [sighs] This is gonna hit the fan.

>> Yeah, what do we know?

>> I'd prefer if we weren't seen talking.

I'll catch up later.

>> Okay, you got my pager.

>> Sure.

[phone rings]

>> Hello?

>> Charlie: Yeah, it's Charlie.

>> Yes, Charlie.

>> Charlie: Get on the horn to the national papers,

the networks.

Let them know there was a murder in the red zone,

while Da Vinci was taking the prime minister

on a tour through here.

>> Are you going to stay down there?

Can I reach you there?

>> Yeah, I'll be here.

You can give my cell number.

Goodnight.

>> Hey.

You guys are aware the prime minister was coming down

to do the tour tonight, huh?

>> Yes, we were aware.

>> [sighs] Well, let's not let this thing blow up.

You know, try to make any political advantage of it.

>> There's gonna be a lot of press, Sam.

There's gonna be a lot of questions.

You're gonna have your hands full.

>> Yeah, well, we both are, so let's just try to keep

from getting too nasty.

It's going to blow back on both of us, huh?

Shit rolls downhill.

>> Charlie: Yes, it does.

>> Remember, getting those new fifty officers is dependent

on you guys backing us down here in the zone.

>> I got it.

>> Who was the victim, do we know yet?

>> No.

How about Sam, did he call?

Is he down there?

>> He's down there.

Charlie Klotchko is there as well.

>> Okay.

The media is going to be all over this one tomorrow, okay?

So we can say that we're aware of the case.

The prime minister, however, was never actually

on the scene,

and he doesn't know anything.

And if anybody's got questions

about what he and I were discussing,

that should be handled by this office.

>> We've already had media calls.

I've told everyone to give us a couple of hours.

>> Okay.

Let's put our heads together and write up a statement

so we can get right back to everybody

because this is going to be hundred percent.

This is going to be the number one story tomorrow.

>> The PM's handler called.

He wants an update.

>> Yeah, okay.

I'll stay on top of that.

I'll talk to him about it.

Okay, so there's gonna be a ton of press.

It's gonna be on the red zone.

And it's gonna focus on the policy,

but also federal support and everything.

So let's just get all of that ready.

You know, maybe even you want to get somebody in here,

help you answer the phones tonight.

>> I did.

She's on her way in.

>> Oh, beautiful.

Can you get a hold of Sam then?

Make sure that he reports in.

Every five minutes would be good.

>> Rita: Yes, sir.

>> I'm gonna call the police chief now,

and just see if I can't get some level of cooperation

for a change.

This bastard.

>> Hello?

>> Vera: Yes?

>> Vera?

Yeah, it's the mayor for Bill.

Is he reachable?

>> Hello, sir.

Yeah, he's just on his way in now.

>> Vera: Mayor's on the line.

Do you want to take the call?

And that's what I have for you.

>> Yeah, put him through.

[phone rings]

>> Hello.

>> Any reports yet?

>> Just that the victim is unidentified so far.

Found in his vehicle in the parking stall.

You?

>> Same.

Okay, look.

I'm going to be taking a lot of heat.

I'm at the end of the gun on this one, big time.

So, I don't need anybody taking pot shots at me here.

Can you hold off on commenting?

>> I'm not gonna make any critical comments.

We're gonna treat this like any other homicide.

Respect the rights of the victim,

let the investigators do their thing.

>> Okay.

Appreciate that.

>> So how'd the prime minister react?

>> Well, he's understanding of the fact

that this is a major issue for us

in the context of the missing women,

and I find him supportive.

>> Thank you for coming in.

>> Jacobs: He's up on the missing women case?

>> Yeah.

Big time.

>> Jacobs: What'd he say?

>> Well, he's aware that it's a major issue for us.

Okay, I'm prepared to take the breadth of the heat

on this one here, Bill.

So what you say is this an initiative of the mayor's office,

and that your job is to enforce policy.

And any questions from the media,

send them on over here.

I'll take it on.

Okay?

>> Okay, sounds good.

I'll keep you informed on how the case develops.

>> Okay, thank you.

[hangs up]

>> Vera, we need to get on top of this missing women's thing.

I want you doing as much press as you can on it.

>> I've got interviews arranged.

It's coming along.

>> Call Sergeant Kurtz.

I want an update on this pedophile ring.

James Dubreau, how close are they to making an arrest?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Sam's on two and there's a camera crew setting up outside.

If you want to do a quick interview,

it might be really good to get the first word out on this.

>> Okay.

Tell them I'll be there in five minutes.

>> Rita: Good.

>> Good idea.

>> So we really know nothing at this point

except that there has been--

>> Okay, they've identified the victim,

notified the guy's family.

They're releasing his name.

>> You've got a name?

>> Yeah, it's Martin Waring.

Waring, W-A-R-I-N-G.

He's 30 years old.

Okay, I'm gonna be talking to the press here

in a few minutes.

Anything particular you want me to hit?

>> No, just extend sympathies to the family,

and, you know, we're monitoring the case.

>> The first thing they're gonna ask is

if the red zone is gonna stay open.

>> Well, I know.

But it's too early to be answering that question.

So just say that we'll probably meet with the police

and we'll discuss any extra security measures,

but that's it.

>> Okay, got it.

[phone beeps]

>> Do you recall if you arrived before

or after the other vehicle?

>> I didn't see anything.

I wasn't paying attention.

>> You know the names of any of the other women

that were working here this evening, that might have

seen something?

>> No, this guy here was my first trick tonight.

>> All right, well I'm going to ask you to wait here

with this officer a little longer in case I have any

other questions.

Hang on to her.

See if you can get any other names out of her.

>> I'm not getting anywhere. >> Yeah.

Thanks.

[mysterious music]

[train speeding]

>> Uh-oh.

How bad?

>> We're everywhere.

Got calls from across the country.

Got a list of journalists you should return calls to.

[sighs] Okay, you want to see the papers?

>> Not really.

>> Everybody's saying the zone should be shut down

and anyone contemplating opening one

should shitcan the idea.

>> Everyone?

>> Yep.

Apparently opposition got up in the House of Commons

this morning and was calling for the withdrawal

of federal support for our zone.

>> Well, everyone should mind their own goddamn business.

[traffic]

[cars honking]

>> All right, no worries.

Thank you.

Chick, how are we doing?

>> Oh, not so good.

We might be able to get some prints off the car

or off the weapon maybe,

but none of the other pros are talking

about who was down there.

>> Yeah, these cases are always tough.

Nobody cooperates.

Hey, listen.

On another thing, you might have heard

the Police Complaints Commission is investigating

that grow-op shooting.

>> Yeah, I heard they were.

>> Yeah, that's a bullshit investigation.

It's a complete waste of time and money.

Fire and rescue initiated it,

and they're not gonna be happy until they get the result

they want, which is complete exoneration

of any responsibility.

>> Yeah, I understand they're pretty pissed.

>> Yeah, well, when the horsemen come looking to talk to you,

you can say that you've already investigated,

and we're moving on.

>> You're telling me to kiss them off?

Or is that coming from the chief?

>> Use your own discretion,

but you don't have to answer questions twice.

They want to know what happened,

they can read your initial report.

[door opens]

>> Oh, man.

What am I looking at here?

What am I looking for?

>> Well, you see the man in the mask?

>> Mick: Yeah, I see him.

>> You're supposed to be looking at his arm.

The right one there.

>> Yeah, okay.

What is that, like a birthmark?

>> Looks like a crescent.

>> It's kind of distinctive, huh?

So has he run a match on it yet?

>> Yeah, he's going through the arrest records

and he says he'll let you know if they find anyone

with that mark.

>> All right, we still got an arrest record

on Dubreau, right?

>> Yeah, I can get it for you.

>> Yeah, I'd like to see that.

>> Sure.

[birds caw]

>> Morning, gentlemen.

What can I do for you?

Like I can't guess.

>> It's about the red zone.

>> Jumping on the bandwagon, are we?

>> In light of last night's homicide, we think

it would be prudent for you to announce

the closing of the zone.

>> Oh, you feel the same way about that, do you, Ben?

>> Yeah, I do.

All the phone calls I've been getting,

Shakil's been getting, the public's really upset about it.

>> They should be.

I agree with anybody who's concerned about this.

My only question is, what took them so goddamn long?

>> Are you gonna close it down?

>> No, I don't think so.

I have no reason to think that this death was caused

by the red zone, per se.

And until I have a police report that says that,

I have no intention of making any drastic changes

to anything down here.

>> We're in the headlines to every major newspaper

in the country, every radio station, television.

I understand we've even made the international news.

This is an embarrassment to the city.

>> What we should be ashamed of is the murder

of 50 or 60 sex trade workers, don't you think?

>> I think the point is is this death demonstrates

the failure of the zone.

It's clearly not working.

>> You can open up any major newspaper, any city

on the continent, maybe even in the world

on a weekly basis and read stories like this.

Here we go, today only: Toronto, rape and murder.

Edmonton, another murder in Edmonton, okay?

So as far as I'm concerned, all we can really hope to do

is just try and improve the security measures down there,

don't you think?

>> Oh, what are you going to do specifically here

in Vancouver?

>> I'm gonna talk to the police chief later

and we're gonna work a lot of this shit out.

Maybe we're gonna add some more police officers,

maybe we're gonna add security measures.

Wasn't the weapons.

I don't know, maybe it's gonna be the cameras.

That's not a bad idea.

But I'm not gonna shut down the red zone until we decide.

>> Not even temporarily, out of respect for the victim?

>> No.

Look, the sex traffic's gonna continue,

whether you like it or not, whether I like it or not.

>> We're also concerned that this city might be sued

for incidents like this.

>> Me, too.

So you're gonna have to give me some time here, guys.

Come on, get outta here.

I got to check in with some of the followup from this, okay?

So, bye-bye.

>> We're going to be bringing this to a vote in council.

>> Well, that's your prerogative.

Like I said, gotta get outta here.

Thanks for coming by.

First things first.

>> The attorney general's on line three.

>> Thanks.

Yes, sir.

I know.

No, I'm not closing it down.

Why?

No, that, well--

It's also a federal initiative.

They've got their money in there, too, and as of last night,

I was with the prime minister and he's aware

of the homicide.

He reiterated his support of the zone.

Yes, he did.

I'm not really sure what it is how you do things down there

in New York City, but up here we have a policy

of crime reduction,

and that's what the red zone is all about.

No, this is an initiative that's instigated

by the need to address the international problem

of abuse of sex trade workers.

Yeah.

No, thank you, I really appreciate the call.

Okay, bye-bye.

>> Just got a call from Chick in homicide.

It's about the grow-op shooting.

>> What?

>> This is off the record,

but he just got told by Sergeant Klotchko

not to cooperate with the Police Complaints Commission.

>> What a surprise.

It's kind of par for the course.

What does he want?

>> He's being interviewed by the horsemen this afternoon.

He wants your advice.

>> He wants my advice?

No, he's going to have to use his own discretion here.

I can't really help him there.

>> Rita's got Roger Woo waiting.

>> Oh, yeah.

Yeah, good, send him in.

>> And Jason Horne wants to know about what you know

about the "gay bashing" case, how it's proceeding.

>> Tell him he can use his own goddamn contacts, too,

Jesus Christ.

No, I want to talk to him.

I want to talk to that Police Complaints commission.

Get on the horn.

See if you can set me up a meeting there.

>> Complaints commissioning.

>> A-S-A-P.

>> Sam: A-S-A-P.

[cars driving]

>> Detective Savoy.

Inspectors Marx and Zurokowski.

>> Hey, how are you?

Did you get the files I sent over this morning?

>> Yeah, we did.

There's just a couple things we'd like to clear up.

How about we start informally,

that okay with you?

>> Sure, let's get a coffee on the corner.

[sneaker squeaks]

>> Relax, relax.

>> Light up, all right?

>> Let go of me, man.

[door closes]

[can opens]

>> Carter: Reed's are friends of yours

from high school?

>> Right.

We played hockey on the same team together.

>> Carter: And both of you were down in Stanley Park

at the Lagoon the night of the beating?

>> We were there, but we didn't start it.

>> Carter: You didn't start it,

but you participated in the beating.

>> It wasn't us, it was Katie.

>> She started it.

We were just drinking and partying.

It was Katie's idea to go down there in the first place.

>> Linehan: Why would she want to go down there?

>> I don't know.

She said she wanted to go stomp on some fags

and teach them a lesson.

>> Carter: And you went along with this

because Katie told you to?

>> I didn't think she was serious.

We just, we figured we'd go down to the Lagoon and party.

>> But you were aware you were going down there

to beat somebody?

>> No, no.

That was Katie's thing.

Okay, she gets off on manipulating people.

>> I don't give a rat's ass if you're upset, Roger.

You only bought the lease from Lloyd Manning

so you could just sit back and watch this racetrack decline

and then see the racing shit to the birds.

>> Where'd you get that information?

>> I got it from your partners in your new racetrack

venture in Delta.

You're not denying to me that you're buying land down here?

>> I'm developing land in a lot of places.

Delta happens to be one.

>> You know, I'm designating lots of areas

to be heritage sites,

and, hey, this happens to be one of those.

>> And now I'm left with a lease to a racetrack

that I can't develop.

>> Something you had no intention of developing

in the first place.

You had no intention to do anything except drive it

into the ground.

Don't give me that!

>> I bought the track on the assumption that I was gonna

get slot machines.

>> Well, you made a bad deal, because at no time

did I ever promise anybody slots.

Did I promise you slots?

>> Without slots, you don't have a track.

>> Oh yes, I do.

I have a track.

It's right down there.

And I tell you what, I'm going to make sure it stays

in operation.

>> Are you willing to buy my lease back?

>> Okay, I'll give you a dollar for it.

That's as high as I can go.

>> I paid 8 million.

>> See, bad deal.

Just like I said.

>> So I'm left holding the bag?

>> Apparently. [laughs]

>> You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

>> And they'll be hearing from ours.

[sighs]

Oh yeah, Sam.

>> Sam: Yes?

>> What about Kaspar, Complaints Commissioner?

>> He's expecting you.

>> Oh.

[tense music]

>> In your initial report, you made no mention

of this fire department notice being found

at the grow-op crime scene.

>> That's right.

>> You didn't see it there?

>> No, I went over that scene a couple of times,

very carefully.

And nobody, me included, ever saw any notice.

>> But you were with Inspector Arcand five days later

when the notice was found?

>> That came as a bit of a surprise.

>> And it was you or Arcand who found the notice?

>> It was me.

>> Zurokowski: So how do you explain missing it

on the first go-round?

>> I can't.

>> You think someone may have taken the notice

and placed it there after-the-fact?

>> I considered that possibility.

I also considered the possibility that I just overlooked it

the first time.

>> We've been having some trouble getting Inspector Arcand

to come in and talk to us.

>> Yeah?

Well, that shouldn't come as a surprise.

>> We've also been hearing rumors

that your chief has been telling his officers

that they don't need to comply with this investigation.

You know anything about that?

>> No.

Nobody ever told me that.

[distant plane]

>> Mr. Mayor!

Mina Basra.

>> Oh, I remember you, Mrs. Basra.

>> This murder in the red zone last night is exactly

what we predicted would happen when I came

to you a month ago.

>> Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think

you predicted a sharp drop in property values.

Wasn't that you?

>> Of course we're concerned about anyone's death.

Please don't denigrate the seriousness of my concerns.

>> I'm not suggesting I'm taking this situation lightly

at all.

I'm just saying, maybe we should let the police

do their jobs, don't you agree?

>> You can't institute crime and not expect it

to turn back on you.

>> The red light zone is not an effort to institute crime.

All we're trying to do is just control an activity

that exists, has always existed and will continue

to exist, okay?

I gotta go, thank you.

>> You're not just dealing with a few small businesspeople

here you can easily discard.

Many, many people feel the same way we do,

and if we have to start pressuring the point

in the House of Commons, we will.

>> House of Commons.

Okay, thank you.

[door opens]

Thanks, Marcie.

[door slams]

>> It's just like a loop in my head.

I wake up to it, I see it all day, over and over again.

I try to ignore it but it's just there all the time.

>> Psychiatrist: Do you hear voices?

>> No.

I just see the pictures.

I'm not sure what's real and what I'm imagining anymore.

I don't know if I told Barb to go through the door first,

or if I told her to stand aside.

I think I told her to stand aside,

but she'd been asking me to let her go point

so I might have hesitated.

I think she jumped without waiting for my order.

Anyway.

I wake up sometimes and don't know if I've been sleeping

or been awake the whole time.

I'm tired.

>> Mick: What's this?

>> This is the guy who picked up the kid

that we were talking to the other day, Andrew.

I pulled both of them over on a traffic stop.

Got a peak at the guy's license, gave him a warning.

Anyway, afterwards Andrew was telling me

that the guy was taking him to the Century Club.

>> Really.

Carl Toss, you run him?

>> Yeah, he's got an outstanding charge.

Possession, heroin with intent to distribute.

>> Do you think he was a trick taking Andrew to the club,

or he was pimping him out, or what?

>> I think he was pimping him out.

>> Yeah?

>> Yeah.

The guy looked like an old rent boy himself, you know?

A little familiar.

>> Think we could flip him?

>> That's what I'm thinking.

Give it a go, anyway.

>> Well, let me get into it.

See what I can do.

>> Okay.

>> The investigators are getting almost zero cooperation.

There is an attitude of complete disregard

and it's pervasive, so I'm assuming it's coming

from the top.

>> What, Chief Jacobs?

>> Yeah, I think he's stonewalling this investigation.

>> I don't know what I can do about that.

>> You're the head of the police board.

It's your job to rein him in.

>> Here's the thing.

And I wouldn't want this to be public knowledge.

But that behavior you're describing, that's pretty typical

in terms of the chief there.

>> How so?

>> It's a pattern.

He's been actively undermining or undersupporting

any number of initiatives that we've directed him

to support.

The halfway houses for the recovering mental patients,

safe injection site, the red zone.

Even cross-training.

You name it, he's against it.

>> So why don't you just let him go?

>> Because I need the ammunition.

I gotta have a reason to justify a larger investigation

into how the chief is conducting himself.

I can't just focus on one particular case.

>> Are you suggesting I expand the scope of my investigation?

>> Might not be a bad idea.

>> I can't do that.

I'm not empowered to do that.

I'm working within strict parameters.

>> Yeah.

[train running]

>> Constable Ferris.

>> Yeah.

>> Inspector Zurokowski.

I'm Inspector Marx, RCMP.

You got time for a couple of questions?

>> I've been told by my doctor I should avoid anymore

unnecessary stress, so no.

I guess I have to say no.

>> Yeah, well, you might have been told

by your lawyer or somebody in the department

that it's not necessary to cooperate with us,

but you should know that we can get a subpoena

to compel you to answer our questions.

>> Then you should call my lawyer.

You probably already got that number, right?

>> Which is your doctor here?

Just like to confirm what you told us.

>> Call my lawyer.

She can answer your questions.

[moody electronic music]

>> Well, if the Police Complaints Commission is not gonna

look any further into the conduct of what's happening

with that Vancouver Police Department,

then we're gonna have to do it ourselves.

>> We should still get a look at their evidence.

Whatever confirms the chief's interference

with the commission's investigation.

>> It's not gonna happen.

I asked Kaspar about that and he says he won't release

any information to us until he issues his final report.

They're not going to be sharing any of their information?

>> Nope.

>> Rita: Well, when's the report gonna be due?

>> Christ only knows.

And these are horsemen, okay.

And they have their own agenda.

They think that they should be taking over the policing

of the entire Vancouver district.

Any chance they get to make

the Vancouver Police Department look bad,

they're going to take it.

So we gotta be very careful how we framework critique

on Police Chief Jacobs here.

We got to make sure we confine this critique

to him as an individual, so we don't condemn

the whole Vancouver Police Department.

I don't want our stuff just becoming fuel

for their agenda.

No, sir.

>> Do we maybe want to go arm's length on this?

Hire somebody?

>> No.

Let's just see how we're doing ourselves here.

If the situation warrants hiring somebody,

I'm not against that idea.

We can go ahead and hire somebody.

What I want you to do, Rita, just right now

is put together everything we got on this

so I can just get a good look at it overall, okay?

And then I want you to call Kaspar down there

at the Police Complaints Commission.

And I want you to ask him to write a letter

to the police board requesting that Police Chief Jacobs

be made to cooperate with that commission.

I want pressure put on the police board, not just me.

Why should it just be me?

>> Got it.

>> Sam.

First thing tomorrow morning I want you to get a hold

of Phil Rosen.

You know Phil Rosen?

>> Yeah, sure.

>> Okay, he's working at an advocacy group down there.

They've been monitoring a lot of these police complaints

down the Downtown Eastside, okay?

>> Phil Rosen.

Okay, I'll give him a call.

>> I want to bury Chief Jacobs deep.

If we're gonna bury him, let's bury him,

so we can use all the dirt we can dig up, okay?

Okay.

[creaky door opens]

[cutlery clinks]

>> Hey, thank you.

Jeez, it feels good to come into a warm place

and just chow down, eh?

>> It's a grind sometimes, isn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> So listen, you know, a funny thing happened the other day.

>> Uh-huh.

>> I was over at the library, you just, just looking

through some old clippings.

And I came across this other article.

And there you were.

A big picture of you.

>> My picture?

>> Yeah.

>> Huh.

>> Nice little article.

You were getting a commendation or something

for your work with the police department.

>> Huh.

>> I don't think you mentioned to me

you were a poice officer.

I think I would have remembered that.

>> Well, I'm retired, right?

I used to work with the department.

I got laid off, actually.

Things went downhill pretty quick after that.

First think you know, I can't make my rent money.

>> Spare me the tap dance.

Who do you work for?

>> Well, I don't work for the police department.

>> Well, come on.

Don't make this into a guessing game.

All right, look, I'm pissed off enough already

as it is, right?

I don't want to get fucked around.

>> Okay, what happened was, somebody who works for the city

asked me to, you know, join up with the homeless squat

just to keep an eye on things for a while.

>> For the city?

>> Yeah.

>> For the mayor?

>> No, no, no.

No, the mayor has no knowledge of this, no.

>> Yeah, sure.

Jesus Christ, Zack.

>> Look, I apologize, okay.

I respect what you're trying to do down here, Joe.

>> You respect me so much you spy on me.

>> Yeah well don't get all righteous with me.

You're not exactly who you pretend to be, either.

>> What's that supposed to mean?

Well, you say you're Joe Friedland.

Joe Friedland is dead, okay?

Michael Franklin, that's you, right?

>> Yeah, that's me.

>> Ex-school teacher, right?

>> Yeah.

Yeah, I was a school teacher.

Then I went to work for a bank.

>> So what happened to Michael Franklin,

he had to disappear in such a hurry?

>> I'm the Michael Franklin who embezzled a couple million

dollars for the bank he worked for and then blew it all

on Vegas.

>> Holy shit.

I remember that.

That's wasn't just a couple million.

That was more like 20.

>> Ah, more like 25 actually.

>> Jesus Christ, I thought you were in jail for that.

>> I was.

I did four-and-a-half years.

[McNab exhales]

>> Still haven't told me who you work for.

>> Well, I don't.

I mean, I did, but they cut off my paycheck.

I've been down here the last couple weeks on my own.

>> Why?

>> I don't know.

I guess I don't have anything else better to do.

>> What do you suppose would happen if I went to the press

and I told them the mayor had hired a spy

to infiltrate the homeless?

>> Well, I suppose the shit would hit the fan, right?

I suppose the same thing would happen if you were revealed

to be an embezzler, eh?

>> Yeah, I suppose it would.

>> 20 million bucks.

Why didn't you just take it and go someplace warm?

[traffic]

[elevator ding]

>> Hey.

Police board in your office.

>> Okay.

Oh, how you doing.

Okay, what's this all about?

Can I guess?

>> Have you heard about the Police Complaints Commission

investigating this grow-op shooting?

>> Word got around.

Okay, what is it all about?

>> I got a call this morning from Mr. Kaspar

who's been appointed to conduct it.

>> Yes, what'd he say?

>> Well, from the sound of it, the chief has instructed

his officers to not comply with the investigation.

>> Not comply, that sounds accurate.

>> Have you talked to the chief about this?

>> No.

>> I think you're obligated to.

>> Okay.

Well then, I'd prefer it to be on paper so it's coming

from you, not just from me.

>> So what's the chief's concern about this investigation?

>> I think his concern is that he's being investigated

at all.

There's no love lost between the horsemen and VPD,

so any chance that the horsemen can get to kick mud

in VPD's face, they're gonna go right ahead and take it.

>> Same old shit.

>> Yeah, so it's beside the point here.

Let's just deal with this directive.

You have that drawn up, and then you give it to me.

I'll make sure that he gets it.

>> We'll get it on the record.

>> Yeah, get it on the record.

Now we're talking.

>> Hey, Phil?

>> Sam, how are you?

>> Good.

Good, how you doing?

>> Good.

>> You know I'm working for the mayor now, right?

>> Oh yeah, right, I read about that.

Congratulations.

>> Thank you.

Dominic tells me you're involved

with the Eastside Advocacy Association?

>> Yeah, right.

I'm on the board.

>> So you're investigating citizen's complaints

about various police activities Downtown Eastside?

>> Uh-huh.

>> Would you be able to show me any of those complaints?

You know, the mayor's very interested

in what you people are doing.

>> Well, that's good to hear.

What's going on?

>> Oh, I think he's just trying to stay up

on any problems that might be developing down here.

>> He's got Uncle Jacobs.

>> I don't think so.

He certainly didn't indicate that.

I think he's really just concerned

that he doesn't lose touch

with the policing policies down here.

>> Right, okay.

Look, why don't you drop by my offices,

and I'll let you examine the complaints yourself

and get a picture of the scene?

>> Really?

That's great, I appreciate that.

>> So he's gunning for Jacobs?

>> No!

What?

I think he's genuinely concerned about keeping

in touch with what's happening on the street.

>> Uh-huh.

Look, if you want some dirt on Jacobs and his policies,

I got a ton of it.

>> You got some good shit?

>> It's pretty incriminating stuff.

Tell Dominic if he wants to see what I've got,

he can come see me.

It's very sensitive stuff.

I don't want it leaking before we're ready.

>> And you have the policeman's ball on the 30th.

>> Yep.

>> Are they hiring a band this year?

>> I think they are.

I think they got the old guy again.

Oh, that reminds me.

We have to call the mayor and uninvite him

to make his speech at the ball.

>> I think it's tradition for the mayor to make the speech.

>> We're thinking of breaking the tradition this year.

We've asked the solicitor general to speak instead.

>> Is the mayor aware of this?

>> Why don't you handle that?

>> With a note or something?

>> Yeah.

[knock at the door]

>> Vera, could you excuse us for a moment, please?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Thanks.

>> Jacobs: What's up?

>> This guy Kaspar, from the complaints commission,

complained to the police board that weren't cooperating

with this investigation.

So, expect a letter from the board.

>> Take a meeting with Kaspar.

Set him straight on a couple things, will ya?

>> Happy to.

>> Let him know that his investigation has my complete

cooperation, and that anything he's heard to the contrary

is speculation, probably coming from the horsemen

who have their sights set on taking over the policing

in this city.

>> Okay.

[police siren]

>> Hey, Finn!

Finn!

Hey, man, I got some good news.

I think I confirmed Dubreau in a photograph with Garth

and he's got the same birthmark on his arrest sheet.

So I'm thinking we might be able to get some surveillance

happening on him.

>> Yeah, we got that info, too.

>> You did?

What do you mean?

>> Sex crimes made the ID on him from their files.

Apparently they've been CC'ing Jacobs on the case.

He's going to try to get the crown to come around

and arrest Dubreau.

>> No, no, if they arrest Dubreau, the rest of them are going

to scatter.

They'll go way underground.

>> Yeah, this screws things pretty good for you, right?

>> Yeah.

Shit.

>> Why do you want to search my office?

>> We need to satisfy ourselves that your security systems

are satisfactory.

>> What the hell does that mean?

>> These foreign rescue notices are issued by fire captains

only, is that correct?

>> Yeah, that's correct.

>> And these notices are kept under lock and key?

>> No, no.

They're standard forms.

Every hall in the city probably has half a dozen

lying around in various people's offices.

They're nothing but standard forms.

>> Well, we'd like to take a look in your offices.

>> You're supposed to be investigating the police procedures.

>> Look, we'll determine the scope

of our investigation ourselves.

>> You got a warrant?

>> We can get one.

We'll be back in an hour.

>> Yeah?

Well, see you then.

Jesus Christ.

[dialing phone]

[phone ring]

>> Yeah?

>> Yeah, hey, it's Roy.

Roy Komori.

Yeah, what the hell is going on?

I've got a pair of horsemen on their way

to get a warrant to search my office.

>> From the commission?

>> Yeah, they're asking about the safety notices,

where I keep them, how secure they are.

This was supposed to exonerate me, not hang me.

Seems out of hand.

>> Okay, Roy, let me call you back.

I'll get into it.

>> Komori: Thank you, I appreciate it.

>> Two, three.

[phone rings]

Jesus goddamn Murphy--

Oh sorry, hi.

Yeah, I'm looking for Kaspar.

Is he there?

He's not.

Would you have him get in touch with me as soon

as he walks in?

Yeah, sorry.

>> Just got an email from Vera in the chief's office.

They've asked the solicitor general to speak

at the policeman's ball instead of you.

>> Yeah, well, I'm disappointed, but--

SG?

SG?

Could you do some digging for me and find out,

maybe there's a relationship there

between the chief and the SG?

I bet there's something there.

>> Would Bob Kelly know something about that?

>> Oh, that's a good thought.

Yeah, give him a call.

Also, I need to talk to the fire chief.

Track him down.

Get him on the phone with me as soon as you can get him.

Which one's Komori?

Is he the bottom one here?

663?

>> Mr. Kaspar from the complaints commission's here

to see you.

>> Where's Charlie?

I thought he was going to handle this.

>> He's not in his office.

>> [sighs] All right, send him in.

Gotta call you back.

>> Mr. Kaspar?

Come on in.

>> Thank you.

>> Hello, sir.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

What's on your mind?

>> I've been meeting with a lot of resistance

and resentment from your personnel

with regard to this investigation.

>> I'm sorry to hear that.

Where's the resistance coming from?

>> Everybody the investigators have contacted so far.

>> All right, well, I'm going to assume most of that

is coming from the historical animosity

between the horsemen and ourselves.

>> I'm aware of the history.

And I'm aware of the perception, maybe you have it yourself,

that the RCMP would like to be the policing body

for Vancouver.

>> I don't believe it's simply a perception.

I think you'll find it's been publicly announced

as part of their agenda.

>> That's old news, and isn't going to be resolved

any time soon, and shouldn't have any influence

on the present investigation.

>> Fine.

How can I help you?

>> Instruct your officers to comply

with the investigators' requests.

I'd like to see that in writing

and I'd like to see that immediately.

>> I'll have something written up immediately, then.

I have nothing but good will towards you

and your investigation.

I welcome the opportunity for you to do your thing

and exonerate my department, as I'm sure you will.

>> I'll expect to see that memo today.

>> Jacobs: It'll be waiting for you at your office.

Thank you.

>> Thank you.

[mysterious music]

[door closes]

>> Letter from the police board requesting

that Chief Jacobs cooperate

with the complaints commission investigation.

Now, you still have to sign it.

Everyone else on the board has already.

>> Nice pen.

Okay.

>> You in a good mood?

>> Well, not particularly.

Police Complaint Commission's gone completely

out of control.

Now they want to try to get a warrant

so they can rip Komori's office apart

and try to find the evidence that he did issue a notice.

Why?

>> That's ugly.

>> Yeah.

Why?

What?

>> Well, it's bad news.

It's different bad news, but it's bad news.

The wife of the deceased victim of the stabbing

in the red zone is filing a civil suit against the city.

She's arguing it never would have happened

if you hadn't have established the zone.

>> I'm named in that suit?

>> Sam: Yes, sir.

>> Wow.

This is from the wife of the deceased?

>> Yes, sir.

Her and Mina Basra on the behalf

of the Citizens of Vancouver.

>> Mina Basra.

She's trouble.

>> Rita: What are we going to do?

>> I want a drink.

[police siren chirps]

>> We'd like Mr. Dubreau to come in for an interview.

>> I'm sure he'd be happy to.

What's the nature of the interview?

>> Just bring him in.

You can be there.

>> Is my client a suspect in a homicide?

Because if he is, I'd like to see some justification

for the interview.

>> You can bring him in or we can go and get him.

Now, we're not going tell you what we're going to be asking,

but you're more than welcome to be in the room.

>> I'll tell Mr. Dubreau that you'd like to see him.

>> Finn: All right.

>> I warned you, Ed, I warned you.

This is probably not the best way to go,

but you went ahead anyway.

Now you got horsemen all over your ass.

>> I expected an independent investigation.

An investigation without prejudice.

>> Well, I've got police investigating police.

You know what happens.

There's always an agenda behind the agenda.

>> Yeah, well, the chief of police refuses to cooperate,

so they turn on us?

>> I know, I tried to warn you.

Now the ball's rolling and you're gonna have

to deal with it, Ed.

>> Jesus Christ.

This is insane.

>> Yeah.

Thanks Marcie.

[dials phone]

>> Komori.

>> Sir?

>> Tell your people they're not compelled to answer any

of the questions from the investigators.

>> Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, everybody listen up.

>> Fuck.

[pounding rock music]

>> Charlie: Hey.

>> I need to talk to you.

>> Yeah, sure.

What's the problem?

>> I left messages for you.

You were going to get back to me about this job opening

as a coroner's liaison?

>> Yeah, yeah.

I told Sweeney at the union to give you a shout.

He didn't call?

>> No, he didn't call.

>> You know what?

Go in and talk to him.

He's probably in his office.

>> I really need to get back to work.

>> Yeah, yeah.

>> This sitting around doing nothing isn't my thing.

>> Well, I'm sure you'll be working right away.

And maybe we can catch up later for a drink,

so give me a shout, yeah?

[phone dialing]

Yes, Charlie.

Jan Ferris is on her way in.

She's probably gonna need another psych exam

before she's reinstated.

Okay.

[traffic]

>> How are we doing today, sir?

>> Not so shit hot.

>> So what happened the other night in the red zone,

do you know yet?

>> Police are still investigating.

>> Yeah, it's all over the papers.

>> Da Vinci: Yep.

>> You know they're talking on the radio

about shutting it down?

>> Yeah.

>> Marcie: Most people think you should shut it down.

>> Thank you, Marcie.

>> They're saying it seems to attract trouble.

[traffic]

>> I'm supposed to talk to the investigators tomorrow.

I'm not sure what or how I should answer some

of the questions.

>> Chief says you don't want to talk to them, don't.

And if you do decide to talk to them,

then we got to spend some time together going over

what they're gonna ask, what you're gonna answer.

>> Man, I haven't slept in two days.

I don't know how I'm gonna hold up.

>> You better just say you're feeling ill, then.

It's perfectly legitimate, if you have to.

In fact, good idea: go to your doctor, tell them

you're under stress, and get a prescription for something.

Good idea.

>> Okay.

>> Hey listen.

I'm not asking you to talk out of school here,

but do you recall any other incidents

where Constable Ferris might have been behaving

in an unbalanced manner?

>> What do you mean, exactly?

>> Any weird behavior?

Unusual, deviant behavior?

>> The mayor's on the way in.

>> What's he want, did he say?

>> No, sir, but he's in the building.

>> Da Vinci: Thank you.

>> Vera: You can go on in.

>> Oh, thanks.

Here it is, Bill.

Here's the request from the police board, that you cooperate

with the Police Complaints Commission, okay?

Now you've been officially warned.

>> Thank you.

>> I brought it down here myself to deliver this

because this has got to stop, okay?

We can't keep going like this.

We can't be bumping heads with the horsemen.

You and I both know what their agenda is,

and every time you give the schoolboy tactics,

this kind of obstruction, it gives them the fuel

and the ammunition they need to demand

that they take over the municipal policing here.

>> You're accusing me of obstructing their investigation--

>> The Police Complaints Commission are accusing you

of that.

It's in there, right now.

You read that, okay?

Know what the headlines are gonna be?

That you were uncooperative.

That you instructed your membership here

to be uncooperative.

You've got to find some way to stop this train

before it goes completely off the rails.

I'm warning you.

>> All right.

>> Da Vinci: Okay.

>> Thank you.

I will take it under advisement.

>> Now's the other thing I got to talk to you about.

We've got to talk again about the security down there

in the red zone.

>> What do you want to do there?

>> I want to double up the number of officers down there

for the next little while, okay?

>> You don't think you should shut it down

for a couple weeks?

>> No.

I want the number of officers doubled up down there

for the next little while.

Thanks.

>> Thanks, okay.

Hey, how you doing?

>> Okay, here's the complete file of complaints

from the Downtown Eastside for the past year.

>> How's it look?

>> You be the judge.

It's a pretty solid incrimination of the chief's tenure.

>> Jesus.

>> Just make sure you talk to me before you talk

to anybody else about this.

>> Okay.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[phone rings]

>> Yeah, Sam?

>> Okay, the shit is hitting the fan at Komori's fire hall.

The horsemen returned with their warrant,

but they're not getting anywhere.

Komori's refusing to let them in,

and the guys are blocking the door.

>> Shit.

[car brakes]

>> What the hell are you doing?

>> Don't interfere.

He's been arrested for obstruction of a police officer

in the execution of his duty.

If you want to talk to him, you can do it through a lawyer.

>> I'm asking you to take the handcuffs off.

Those are not necessary.

>> Marx: It's procedure.

>> Welles: Take the cuffs off.

>> Marx: It's procedure.

>> Take the cuffs off him!

>> Take the cuffs off.

>> Take the cuffs off!

>> Take them off!

[slapping car hood]

>> Take them off!

>> Take the cuffs off him.

[slapping hood]

>> Oh, Jesus Christ.

Just pull up right behind that car.

Let's go, let's go.

>> Excuse me, sir, you want me to block the car?

>> Pull up right behind them and block them.

[car screeches]

>> Take the cuffs off!

>> Take 'em off!

>> Holy shit.

>> Take 'em off!

>> Oh, god.

>> What the hell is going on here?

>> We're got to get in here.

They're trying to arrest Komori.

Just get in there and get it sorted out.
