[ rock music playing ]

Sorry.

Where is everybody?

Dominic.

- let me call you a cab.
- no no no no no.

Why don't you
Just drive me yourself?

I prefer my men
Conscious, thank you.

Here's to change.

Francesco, get his keys.

- sorry, I'm calling
A taxi for you.
- all right, all right.

I'm going
To go outside

And just hail
A cab, okay?

[ police siren blaring ]

Hey!

Where's my damn car?

- [ car engine starts ]
- hey.

- ole, ole, ole, ole!
- [ honks ]

Idiot.

Here, boy.

[ whistling ]

Come to papa.

What?

You never watched
Roy rogers and trigger?

Worked great for him.

Here, boy!

It's vanished.

I look up and down the street,
Like where I usually park there,

And then around
The corner and that,

Then I phoned
All the towing companies.

Nobody has any idea
Where my car is.

It's probably sitting
In some chop shop

In the valley
Next to mine.

Yeah, probably.

You know,
If I had a dollar
For every bone

Somebody found
In a picnic

They thought
Was human...

- are we...?
- yeah, it's over there.

Usually turns out
To be a rib

From somebody's
Else's picnic.

Now, that's what
Vancouver needs
In a big way.

We need a good
Rib joint up here.

Yeah, you've got
To go to the states

- to get good ribs.
- right, and that's pathetic.

Do you want
To do that?

Do you want to
Go down to seattle

And catch a ballgame
And get some ribs?

I could really
Handle that.
Want to?

Sure. Baseball's
The only game

Where defense
Controls the ball.

Think about that--
It's backwards.

Well, it's
All pitching.

Hey, what's this?

Hello? Eh.

[ flies buzzing ]

Oh-oh.

What's this look like
To you here, chick?

Yup.

[ da vinci ]: boy, that
Is a shallow grave.

Must have been buried
Pretty quick.

No skull.
Decapitation maybe.

Could make identification
A bitch.

It's 50 yards
From the road here.

This is an easy place
To dump a body,

Drag it, bury it.

It would
Be nice to know

When this happened.

I pulled
A lot of jumpers

From underneath this bridge
Over the years, okay?

Unless
We find a pair of wings,

It's a little ways
From the bridge

To be taking a dive.
What do you say, chick?

Might find a pair of wings
Over there?

Okay, okay,
Funny man.

No, really,
Nobody buries a jumper.

This is a homicide.
I mean, the head's missing.

We had that red-headed torso
Hanging around for a while.

Maybe they're related.

Okay. It's all yours.

Take it away.

Rule number one--

There's no logic
To what a person will do

When they're trying
To cover up a crime.

There's a panic
Reaction factor

- that sets in.
- [ mick ]: yeah?

You know that from
Personal experience, leo?

What the hell
Does that mean?

Nothing.

I'm just giving you
The gears, man.

Well, pardon if
That isn't funny.

And I don't like
The inference.

- hey, danny.
- hey, summer.

Hey, listen,
I got to tell you--

I talked
To francois.

He wants you to call him
At his brother's.

You're supposed
To ask for lou.

- he'll call you back.
- I talked to him already.

He asked me
To check you out,

See how you're doing.

You mean
Check up on me?

- what did you tell him?
- I'm not his boy.

Really?

Well...

Either that's bull
Or you're deluding yourself.

Or it's his way of getting you
To check up on me, maybe.

Maybe.

You want to talk
About leon?

You're straight
To the point.

Sure.

There's nothing going on
Between him and me.

Does that answer
Your question?

I'm not stupid, danny.

I hope not.

He's not running
His mouth off about anything?

If he wasn't
Running his mouth off,

He wouldn't be
Leon now, would he?

I'd worry
When he stops talking.

Let me know when
He stops talking.

So, did we just, like,
Make an arrangement?

I tell you
And you tell me

Kind of a thing?

Well, it doesn't hurt
To trade information

Now and again.

All right.

All right.

Oh...So if you're
Going to check on me

For francois...

I'll be home tonight.

Just please go
And look in the lot for me,

- 'cause I know
Somebody towed it.
- [ knocks ]

Okay, let me call you back.

Auto theft gave me
The run-around,

Although they did
Seem fairly amused
That you misplaced it.

And there's a guy
From accident investigation
Here to see you.

- dominic.
- zack.

- you got a minute?
- sure.

Some homeless guy
Last night

Got clipped
In front of our bar--

Hit and run.
I got the case.

I was there last night.

Yeah, I know.
The bartender said

You left around
Closing time.

Anything you can tell me?
Were you driving?

To tell you
The truth, zack,

I don't really remember.

All right.
Where's your car?

I'm looking for it.

It's around.

I'll find it.

What about the guy
That got hit?

It's up in the air
Right now.

Broken leg,
Internal bleeding,
Possible brain damage,

And he wasn't that healthy
To begin with, so...

I don't know
What to tell you.

I guess I'll keep looking,
I'll find the car,

We'll take a look
At the car,

And everything
Will be just...

Are you talking
To anybody else?

Yeah, there were
10 cops in the bar.

It's a big problem
For everybody.

Yeah, okay.

You know,
If I were you,

I'd be looking
For my car.

Thanks for
Letting me know.

It's an official
Investigation.

People are all over it,
Being outside our bar.

Okay, zack.
Thanks for letting me know.

I'll be in touch.

Helen?

Can you close the door?

Could you call
And check on the condition

Of a hit-and-run
Victim?

Accident occurred
Behind our bar there.

Okay.

[ patricia ]:
Are we waiting
For dominic?

Yeah, we probably should.

He told me yesterday
He'd be here.

Look, let's just
Go ahead without him.

Here's what we know--
From the hips,

It looks like
This is the skeleton
Of an adult male.

There is an old
Healed wrist fracture,

So that could be
A clue to his identity.

- that's all we know?
- no, but the skull's missing,

So we're out of luck
On the obvious dental evidence,

- plus, it's hard
To determine race.
- how about the skull?

- was that a decapitation?
- [ patricia ]: no.
No tool marks.

Probably an animal took it.

It happens a lot.

There was no I.D.
In any of the clothes.

That plays into
Robbery homicide.

It's hard to determine
A definite cause of death,

Especially without
A skull.

Thanks for
The hot tip.

Sorry I'm late.

Morning. Sunny's going
To take over from here.

I've got to get
To the university.

- a lecture?
- no, research.

Research on what?

Uh-uh-uh.

We found several
Interesting fractures.

As you can see,
There are two different types--

Fractures to the left femur
And the right tib and fib.

These are consistent
With a blow.

Somebody hit him
Hard with a weapon,
Like a baseball bat?

- why not.
- [ mick ]: if it
Was hard enough,

Could it have,
Say, ruptured an artery,

- the guy bleeds to death?
- possibly.

The second fracture
Is a dislocation.

Essentially,
The bones of the lower legs

Were forced up

Past the bones
Of the upper legs.

Maybe somebody threw
Him off the bridge.

Sure. We see
These fractures

When someone falls or
Jumps from a great height,

- lands on their feet.
- that could be the cause
Of death.

The feet and legs
Take the initial shock,

It carries on up
Through the spine.

A couple of vertebrae
Are badly fractured.

See, I...For sure,

I would say
This would be a suicide,

Except for
He was buried that way.

Okay, thanks. Hey,
It's another good one.
Did you hear?

We got
A time of death.

- yeah?
- yeah, some poor bastard

In forestry out
At the university,

He sat down
And he counted

All the rings
On the roots

Growing through
The skeleton.

Yeah, the guy died
12 months ago.

We've got missing persons
Checking into the time frame.

Skeleton when found
Was wearing denim jeans,

T-shirt,
And a plaid work shirt--

All canadian manufacture.

That may help with the profile.

Yeah, most guys
Wouldn't be caught dead
Wearing plaid.

- most guys don't have
Your sartorial sense, leo.
- so few do.

D?

I called the police
About that hit and run.

They were pretty
Cagey about it.

They said that
Nobody was killed,

So why does
The coroner's office
Need to know?

'cause the guy who got hit
May end up a fatality,

- and we want to
Stay on top of it.
- that's what I said,

But they just
Told me that he was
In intensive care.

- any statement?
- he's in and out
Of consciousness.

- okay, thanks.
- mm-hmm.

- you wanted
To talk to me?
- yes, I do.

Shut the door.

Sergeant regan tells me
You're being questioned

About a hit and run

Outside the police bar
The other night.

Yeah. I won't
Lie to you, jimmy.

Anything in it?

Well, I told zack
What I can remember.

Look...

I can't find my car.
I don't know how
I got home,

But I'm dealing
With it, jimmy,

- it's going to be okay.
- sit down.

I'm not asking for my ass
To be covered here.

No one's offering, okay?

Do you mind telling me
What regan's interest
In this actually is?

It surprises you
That your "Take
No prisoners" attitude

- has made you
A few enemies?
- no.

So what about
This unnamed enemy, then?

Is it a conflict for you
Or what?

Linda saltwyn.
She was the lawyer

That represented
The couple

At the retirement home
That burned down.

I remember her.

All of a sudden,
She's developed a conscience?

No, more along on the lines
Of she hates your guts.

How the hell
Would she get involved
In something like this?

She's representing
The homeless man that was hit.

Pro bono.

And she's all over regan
To keep tabs on the situation.

Dominic, if he dies,
It's...

Hit and run.

Crim neg
Causing death.

She'll sue you.
She'll sue me.

She'll sue the entire
Coroner's office.

And regan won't be unhappy
To hang it on you.

Okay, thanks for the warning.

You know,
I never really realized

How many people
Go missing in vancouver.

It's unbelievable.

Mom goes out
For a pack of smokes,

Never comes back

The boss doesn't
Show up for work--
It's crazy, you know?

One minute,
Somebody's expected somewhere,

The next minute, gone--
Puff of smoke.

Speaking of missing persons,

What's happening
With your brother?

Haven't heard
A word from him.

Has he been
Staying with you?

Nah. Ange,
I'm not his keeper.
I warned you.

Hey, leo.
Take a look
At this here.

About a year ago,
This guy, lamont dickson,

He leaves his girlfriend's,
Heads over the bridge

To visit his ex
And kids in kitsilano.

[ leo ]:
Hey, that's quite a hike.
That's a couple of miles.

Yeah, well,
He was fresh
Out of prison.

Maybe he wanted
The exercise.

Anyway, about 11:00,
The ex-wife calls the cops,

Says he's
Harassing her.

Was there
A restraining order?

I don't see anywhere...

I don't see anything
About a restraining order.

Anyway, the neighbor,
The same night, june 1st,

Said they heard the ex-wife's
Boyfriend, rocky.

Hey--now, there's
Your suspect.

Any guy named "Rocky"
Goes to the head of my list.

Good. He had
A prison record, too.

So he shows up there,

He starts arguing
With lamont, right?

The cops show up,
They figure it all out,

Lamont splits.
The next morning,

His girlfriend trina,
From the west end,
Calls missing persons,

Reports him missing.
He never came back.

Rocky did it.
I'm laying odds.
Let me see that.

They found the skeleton
About six blocks

From where
The ex-wife lives.

Missing persons
Reported it

As a possible homicide
At the time,

But they didn't
Have enough evidence
To charge anybody.

His girlfriend says
That when he left,

He was wearing working clothes--
Blue jeans and a plaid shirt.

Sounds like
Our boy.

Wish they could
All be that easy.

Look at this.
Regan stole
My cup again.

I'd wash that
Really good.

Hey.

What do you think?

I just bought it.
Well, come on onboard.

We'll go
For a little spin.

What did you
Get this for?

Nothing but a hole
In the ocean to pour
Your money into.

Hey, so's the hole
In your arm.

You spend it how
You want to spend it,

I spend it how
I want to spend it.

So you want a drink?

That's a sample.

It's pure.
I tested it.

What's the deal?

They're holding 50 kis.
If everything goes smooth,

Then we get
An unlimited supply.

What's the turnaround
Time for you?

That depends
On the money.

It's not a front.
I need cash.

Yeah, well,
It's going to take me

About a week
To put that together.

Forget it.
They wanted to do this
Tonight or not at all.

I thought
You understood that, leon.

If I don't get
The glue together--

Would you slow down?

I'll make some
Phone calls, okay?

Leave this with me.

People are going to want
To do a taste test.

You know, danny,

This is what
It's all about.

You'll do all right
With that.

Let's just think about this
For one more minute here.

- okay.
- okay? This guy
Really got smacked.

You're going to notice.
I know you.

You're not just
Going to hit a guy
And then keep going.

How do you know that?

How the hell
Do you know that
If I don't know that?

Whether I hit the guy
Or didn't hit the guy

Is not really
The point here.

It's that
I don't remember.

I just don't...

- remember.
- [ knocks ]

Let's take a walk.

Okay, you came
Out here,

You were looking
For your car.

Where do you
Usually park?

I usually park
Right here,

But the bar
Was unusually
Full of people

- that night, hey?
- mm-hmm.

Where was
The guy struck?

Down at the mouth
Of the alley.

Okay, which way is home?
What's your usual route?

Well, I come out of here,
I go down to the mouth
Of the alley,

I take a right,
A right, and then
I'm on the viaduct.

Okay, he's stepping out
Off the sidewalk

To the right here,
You're looking left
Into traffic.

- look at the pavement.
- what?

There's no rubber
On the road.

Whoever did it
Didn't even hit
The brakes,

Or else their
Brakes are soft.

Oh, I just
Had my brakes done.

Okay, I've got to talk
To some other people.

- what? Police?
- it's a police bar,
It's full of members.

They'll be closing
Ranks on me.

I made a few enemies
Over the years.

Yeah, a few.

You let me know
If you remember anything.

Okay, thanks.

[ woman ]: the police
Were supposed to tell me

Before he was released.

I was supposed
To have some warning.

- but they didn't call?
- no.

One minute, I'm in the kitchen
Up to my elbows in dishes,

Next, my youngest's screaming
Because lamont's in the yard.

- they were afraid of him?
- they had good reason.

- he could be violent.
- lamont's in your yard.

- then what did you do?
- I called the police.

And what about
Your boyfriend, rocky?

- did you call him, too?
- yeah, I called him.

[ mick ]:
He knew of lamont
Being violent?

Yeah, he knew
Lamont was violent.
I told him.

Okay, so rocky came over,
And then what happened?

Lamont's outside,

Yelling, trying to get
The kids to come out.

He and rocky started
To push and shove,

Throw some punches.

When the cops show up,
Lamont leaves,

Cops leave,
No charges, nothing.

But what about rocky?
What did he do?

He said he was going
To go get cigarettes.

He got in his truck,
And he left.

Do you know
How long he was gone?

- do you remember?
- about an hour, I guess.

Did he give any reason
Why he took so long

To just go around the corner?

Ask him yourself.
I don't see him anymore.

Listen, I got to tell you,

If this skeleton
Turns out to be lamont,

You become a murder suspect.

If rocky said
Anything to you at all

About what happened,

You've got
To let us know right now.

He told lamont

That if he ever came
Around here again...

He'd bury him.

The prison x-rays
Are on the left.

The wrist fracture is identical

To those of the skeletal remains
On the right.

Our plaid man is lamont.

Thanks, doc.

Guess our prime
Suspect is rocky.

Hey.

Now, these leg fractures
On the femur...

Okay?

Above the knee
On the one,

And halfway up
The calf on the other--

These are front-force
Impact blows, right?

That's right.

Okay, so if it was
A beating on this one,

This was done with a bat,
Or, say, a pipe,

That would be
A hell of a swing

To break clean
Like that, wouldn't it?

I suppose so.

I understand
You're in a bit
Of a situation.

Yeah.

You don't seem
Particularly upset.

I don't?

- no.
- well, inside,
I'm freaking.

You know,
If I hit this guy,

It's, like,
All over for me.

It's like...

I don't even know...

What's going
To happen to me.

Anyway, later.

See you.

I was pretty shook.

I remember finding
A good stash of cans

- behind the bar.
- yeah?

Francesco puts them
Out for me sometimes.

Francesco?
I know francesco.

- yeah. Yeah.
- good guy.

Would you spot
The driver of the vehicle

If you could
See him again?

Could you spot
The vehicle?

I think somebody
Came up to me

When I was
On the ground.

- he said something.
- yeah? What did he say?

Asked if
I was all right.

That's about
All I remember.

All right.

Do I look
Familiar to you?

I don't know. Maybe.

- maybe?
- what the hell do you
Think you're doing

Coaching my client?

This is more than
Inappropriate,

Don't you think?

I just came by
To see if he was all right.

Okay, I'm going now, hey?

Yeah.

So you get better
And recover, all right?

Be nice to the nurses.

Hi.

How are you doing?

Squeezing by.

What the hell were you doing?

You had no official business
Being there.

I'm a citizen, he's a citizen,

I have every damn right
To be there.

She said it sounded like
You were coaching him.

I'm not trying
To cover my ass here.

I told you that already.
If I did it, I want to know.

And if I didn't do it,

I want the right to clear
My name. Is that so hard
To understand?

Look, just don't you
Worry about it, jimmy?

Okay, I'm not going
To hide behind anybody.

I never have,
And I hope to hell I never will.

But if you think
I'm going to resign

Before there's a decision here,
Forget about it.

I'm still doing my damn job.

It says here
You broke some guy's legs

And did 18 months.
What was that all about?

I ain't ashamed of it.
He raped my little brother.

I should have done more.
I should have made sure

He was squatting in a bag
The rest of his life.

So you're
A white knight, huh?

Ride into town, kick some ass,
Do your stuff,

Everybody stands up
And cheers for you.
Is that it?

Somebody
Had to do something.

You guys didn't do
Diddly-squat about it.

What about
Your ex-girlfriend, sylvia,

You wanted to protect her, too?

I've answered
These questions before.

Well, you're going to have to
Answer them again, rocky,

Because now we've got
A body,

Things are a lot more
Serious for you.

I didn't kill him.
If I did, you'd know about it.

I'd take a plea,
I'd do a bit and be
Damn proud of it.

- a real hero.
- okay, tell us
What happened

The night lamont
Came over.

Sylvia called,
And I went out there
To help her.

You went over there,
Lamont shows up,

Then what did you do?

I started to try to talk to him,

The cops showed up,
And he left.

Rocky, you don't look like
The kind of guy

Who does talking too much.

What happened next?

Then I went
To buy cigarettes.

Come on, you were gone
Almost an hour.

You went
To buy smokes?

We've got a body now, rocky.

I followed lamont.
I wanted to make sure

- he wouldn't
Go back to her place.
- [ mick ]: where did you go?

I followed him
Down her street to cornwall.

As soon as I was really sure
He wasn't going to go back,

I turned around,
Went and got smokes.

The police report says
Lamont didn't leave until about
A quarter after 11:00.

The clerk at
The convenience store

Says you showed up
For your smokes
Around midnight.

So you want me to believe

That the guy was walking around
For 45 minutes?

He walked around the block
A couple of times

Like he was going to head back.

I think he saw me
And thought twice
About it.

All right, so you're
Following lamont around.

You follow him to the bridge?

No. Definitely not.

I told you I went home.

I ain't answering
Any more questions.

You guys want to charge me,
Then do it,

Otherwise
I'm walking out of here.

See you later.

We'll be talking to you again,
Rocky.

Next time, call first.

Who's that?

Hey.

When did you
Get in?

This morning.
I tried calling
A couple of times.

You guys were always
On the job.

That's the way it is.
How was the trip?

Good. Good.

Yeah?

Hey, I got to go.

So, are we up for lunch?

I'll call you
When I get off.

I'm going
To catch up

With you, too.

Okay.

Hey, angela,
Here, have a look at this.

See if you can
Shake something loose
On those two jokers

That held up
The speedy cash, will you?

Okay?

Oh, leo?

Where the hell
Are you exactly

On this
Alcohol killer case?

Oh, that's nothing
But a dead end.

Then why is
Patricia da vinci asking
For our paperwork on it?

Hell if I know.

That woman's
Becoming as big a pain
In the ass as her ex.

[ car honks ]

[ jazz music playing ]

Okay.

Helen, hi.

Yeah, call...

Call shannon, get him down here.

I'm over in kits
Under the bridge.

So you think
That somebody

Clipped him
With a vehicle,

And that's what caused
The clean breaks

To the calf
And the thigh?

Yeah, 'cause the fractures
Are more consistent

With being hit by a car.

Rocky was driving
His truck that night.

Said he followed lamont
Right up to the edge
Of the bridge.

Hey, let's say that rocky
Gets it into his head

To save sylvia from lamont.
Hey, the world's
A little lighter

Without lamont
Walking around in it.

So, he follows lamont,
He hits him with a truck.

It's monday night,
Around about midnight,

The streets are pretty
Quiet around here.

So rocky
Takes lamont out.

Nobody sees it,
But rocky's thinking ahead.

He knows he's going
To be a suspect.

So he pitches him
Off the bridge,

Thinking he'll make it
Look like suicide.

Yeah, well, that would explain
The other fractures,

But why does he bury
Lamont's body?

He looks over the bridge,
The body's in plain view,

He doesn't
Want it to be found,
At least not right away,

So he drives down
To the clearing,

Drags the body
Over to where it is,

And throws
Some dirt on it.

But why on this side?
He was going the other way.

Look, there's offices
Over there,

There's condos
Over there,

The body would be found
A lot quicker.

You know,
It's pretty quiet.
With the traffic,

He could have
Pulled a u-ee
Really easily.

- does rocky
Still have his truck?
- he didn't say.

Okay, what about
The two uniforms

That broke up the fight
Between rocky and lamont there?

- did you talk to them?
- they corroborated
Rocky's story.

Lamont left, and rocky
Went to the house.

You don't have copies
Of their notebooks?

Yes, down at
The station.

Why? What do you
Want it for?

If there's negligence here
Causing a preventable death,

You know, someone's
Going to have to be told.

[ leo ]:
What did you do with
Your truck, rocky?

- some guy bought it.
- we'd like his name.

I don't remember his name.
Some guy out of the paper.

You told us you were
Following lamont around
In your truck.

Lamont turns up
With a couple
Of busted legs

Like somebody drove into him.
Were you following
A bit too close?

I didn't run him down.

I want to see your
Damn truck, rocky!

I want you to see my truck,

Then you'll know
I'm telling you the truth.

Call motor vehicles.
It's registered.

Thanks, helen.
Hey, zack.

Come in.
Take a seat.

I take it
You remembered something,

Or else you wouldn't have
Asked me all the way down here.

This is another matter
Completely.

No, I have a pair
Of officers' notebooks

Regarding a domestic dispute--

Some other guy
We're looking into.

Anyway, I was looking at--
Here, you take a look.

Shortly after they left
The scene of the domestic,

They take an
Accident report--
It's on the next page--

At the burrard
Street bridge, right?

This is over a year old,
Nobody got hurt.

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

This woman,
Laura gladwin, or whatever,

She's driving along,

She jumps five lanes of traffic,

Loses control of her vehicle,

And goes right up
Onto a sidewalk,

And smacks into
A pedestrian hand railing
On the bridge.

It happens more often
Than you might think.

She never explained
Why it happened.

Okay, I want to know
What all this is about.

Why the sudden interest?

Sudden interest?

Look, I haven't retired,
And I haven't been convicted

Of anything--
Not that I know of,

Not quite yet, anyway.
So, I'm just doing my job here.

- got a problem with that?
- you trying to bury me
In paper?

I'm reading, I'm wondering,
"What the hell happened here?"

How the hell should I know?
It's a routine accident.

Routine?

She wasn't given a breathalyzer.

Is that not
Routine anymore?

She jumps
Five lanes

And smacks into a railing,

And no breathalyzer?

You going to
Go to war with me
Over this, okay.

I re-interviewed
The waitress and the bartender

From the cop bar.

They both remember
Asking you for your keys,

But you wouldn't
Give them up.

So we're going to see
A lot more of each other.

-I'm looking forward to it.
- me too.

Hi, guys.

You got something
For us?

A lot of possibilities
With the clothes.

I didn't find anything
With the shirt,

But if you look below the knee
On the left leg,

And the inner calf
Of the right leg,

You can see black scuff marks.

Now, these line up
Almost perfectly

With the two leg fractures
On the victim.

Could that have been
From the bumper of a truck?

Depends on the truck,
How high the bumper sits.

Anything else about the jeans?

I've recovered
Some paint chips,

And I'm having the lab
Look at them.

- paint chips?
- yeah.

We're investigating
A situation

That occurred
That night

That you had
That accident

On the burrard
Street bridge.

Take a seat.

Do you recall
That night

Very well at all?

A little bit.

I was in shock
Afterwards.

It's been hard
To piece it all together.

Actually, it's not
Your accident that
I'm directly interested in.

I'm just wondering
If you saw anyone

Or anything unusual

On the west side
Of the bridge

Before your accident
That night.

Sorry, but I barely
Remember the accident.

You see,
Here's my problem--

Somebody hit
A pedestrian that night--

Hit and run--

And to locate
Possible witnesses

Has been a nightmare.

So you didn't recall
Anything unusual?

No, I don't think so.

Do you remember

Where you'd been
That night?

Yes. I had dinner
With a client.

Oh, with a client?

- a lot of drinking?
- no. I don't drink.

I'm allergic to alcohol.
I get a histamine reaction.

Okay, so you're
Driving along, sober,

Much traffic?

No. The streets
Were pretty deserted.

Nothing else?

No, I'm sorry.

Okay. Well, you tried.

I really appreciate
You coming in.

By the way,

What happened
With your car?

- it was a write-off.
- oh, no.

Yeah.

Would you take
One of my cards,

And if you remember
Anything at all,

Call me--
And that's my cell.

- leave a message.
- I certainly will.

- thanks.
- thank you.

- what's this about?
- well, read the seizure.

Here, it's
Very simple.

It's a grey bmw 1996,

Owned by
Laura gladwin.

You don't know
Nothing?

Well, you know,
Let me just check
With auto theft,

'cause I think they can
Go down and look through
Your receipts

And see if they come up
With anything themselves.

You don't
Have to do all that.
It's right over here.

Thank you.

This is it?
You keep it covered?

Yeah. I could turn
A few dollars on this.

Pretty clean, huh?

Is this
How it came in?

Hell, no.
I practically rebuilt
The whole front end.

- beautiful job.
- thanks.

What did you do with
The parts of the car?

Right there.

Now, taking a look

At the left side
Of the bumper here,

That's consistent where it says
She hit the pedestrian railing.

What about the damage
On the hood?

Well, the dent is
From something soft.

There's no crush
Or wrinkles in it.

How would something like that
Happen, zack?

- a body.
- [ dominic ]: a body.

Good. Can you tell me
About the grill again, chick?

Well, on the left,
You've got the crush

- where she hit
The railing.
- right.

And on the right, you've got
An indentation here, see?

Yeah. And that's directly
Below the damage
On the hood.

- that's right.
- okay, now, how does
This work for you, okay?

She's driving along,
This drunk,

He steps right
In front of her,
Right into the lane,

She hits him on this part
Of the grill right here.

Now she panics.

Hard left hand down,
She's out of control,

She's heading this way,
He bounces off the hood,

He goes over
The railing that way,

And she continues...

To the point where she makes
Contact with that railing.

- does that work for you?
- sounds like it could happen.

What about you,
Zack?

[ dominic ]:
We found your car.

That was a nice deal
You did that junkyard guy.

Is there something
Against the law about
Selling a car?

Not unless it was used
In the commission
Of an offence.

What offence
Are we talking about now?

Where do we start?
Hit and run?
Manslaughter?

Let's not exclude murder.

Tell me something.

Why are you
Talking to me
About these things?

You're a coroner.

Because it's about
A death, and that's
What coroners do.

Look, I didn't
See anybody,

I didn't hit anybody.

I was going too fast,
I lost control,

And I hit
The guard rail.

Do you really think
I would call the police

If I'd hit somebody

And was trying
To cover it up?

Well, maybe you would
If there was no body.

So where are we now?

I didn't hit anybody,
I called the police,

They investigate,

They don't find a body.

We just did.

A year later?
Do you know
How many people

Drive over that bridge
Every single day?

Have you talked
To everybody

Who's had an accident
On that bridge?

Have you ever testified
Under oath at an inquest?

If that's what
You have to do,

Go ahead, call one.

[ knocking ]

- [ mick ]:
You two through?
- yeah, for now.

She's all yours.
This is detective leary,

Homicide.

Here's a photograph
Of your bumper.

Another photograph--

This one of the hood
Of your car.

Here's a photograph
Of the jeans of our victim.

I want you to take

A real close
Look at these,

Because the seam
On these jeans

Matches up with
This mark here

On the bumper
Of your car.

The pocket
Of these jeans

Matches up with that mark
On the hood of your car.

Those are as good
As fingerprints.

Millions of people wear jeans.

So what are
You saying?

That you ran into somebody else
Who was wearing a pair of jeans?

I don't think so.

Here's a picture
Of a paint chip
On the jeans.

This is a paint chip
From your car.

This is both of them.

They match.

How many grey bmws

Do you think
Are out there?

I'm guessing probably
Quite a few.

But only one
That was originally blue

From the factory,

Which was repainted grey
By the owner,

Who then sold it to you.

Now, that we've
Established

That it's definitely
Your car,

And you agreed with
The police that night

That you were behind
The wheel of the car,

There's just one little bit
That is kind of confusing to me,

And, I think,
To my partner here, too.

What's that?

Well, our victim,
Lamont,

He suffered two fractured legs
And crushed vertebrae.

Now, I'm just wondering
How the hell

He had the presence
Of mind to drag himself

From underneath
The bridge

50 yards up to
A piece of brush,

Dig a hole,
And bury himself in it.

That's a hell of a feat.

Leo, maybe we ought
To be talking about charges.

[ leo ]:
Well, it was
An accident,

And if she'd have
Reported it,

It would have been
A driving violation.

Yeah, but she
Didn't report it.
She covered it up.

So what's that make it?

A case of manslaughter?

[ leo ]:
My take is that
You panicked.

When you started
Thinking about what
You had to lose.

You lost it anyway.

We found your car.

Where?

It was up an access road
On whistler mountain.

What's the damage?

Yeah, you're going
To need a new ignition.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Oh, sorry.

Hi.

Remember me?

Ah. Yeah.

Here.

What's this?

A friend of mine
Down at social services.

She'll make sure that you get
A nice place to stay

When you get out of here.

Oh, thank you
Very much.

Okay.
