Hey! Guess what I have for you?

Whoa! Thank you.

Bye.

-Momo!
-There you are!

There you... Are.

I got something for you
this morning, nomi.

No. I keep saying I
don't need noth-- no.

This, this is too nice.
It looks valuable.

You can sell it.

It made me think of you,
so it's for you.

Thank you.

I got to go, yeah?

Oh, walk with me.
What's the hurry?

I'm meeting a man down
at the public house.

Who?

It's a job, girl.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Caught in the blaze.
Proprietor, perhaps?

Could be.

The only body found
by the firemen.

Miss hart,
are congratulations in order?

I suppose they are.

Well, I'm sure the wedding
will be lovely.

It was.

Sir. There's a room in the back.
It's also burned out.

-Anything of interest?
-Yes. These.

Pipe...

Part of an opium lamp.

There are lots of
them in there, sir.

Right. An opium den.

Well, not much of one.

I only found
the one tin of opium.

Blue dragon opium.

Well, that's likely
the cause of the blaze, then.

He was smoking

And then knocked over
the lamp as he fell asleep.

Strange that no one else
was in there, though.

-Detective.
-Miss hart?

I think you may want to
reconsider your cause of death.

This man didn't
die in the fire.

He'd been shot in
the back of the head.

What?

His name lai.
George lai.

He my cousin.

George lai.
He was a pawn broker?

Buy, sell, yes.

And opium?

No.

There was an opium den
in the back of the shop.

He sell before.

Opium den.

Chinatown.

Beautiful den,
very lavish.

Before new law come.

Then he close opium den.

Evidence strongly suggests
that it was still in operation.

It's likely what
caused the fire.

He stop.

Before, yes.

Very good opium.

Now, no more opium!

38 special.

As common as they come.

Doesn't tell us much.

No murder weapon was found
at the scene of the crime,

So the killer
is likely still armed.

I did find this
in his waistcoat.

Seems the wool
shielded it from the fire.

It's a rail cargo manifest.

It seems he was expecting
a rather large shipment

Of camera lenses.

Hart:
At a pawn shop? That's unusual.

Indeed.

You're welcome.

Murdoch:
Thank you.

You don't think it was
camera lenses at all.

You think it was
a shipment of opium.

But the opium law has forced
the entire trade underground.

Sodding bureaucrats.

They just want the money
from the citations.

Well, sir, opium addiction
is a dangerous vice.

It ruins lives.

So does alcohol.

So does love.

What's your bloody
point, watts?

And what are you doing sitting
there like jack horner?

Oh, I don't care for laws
intended only to curtail

Individual behaviour
in pursuit of morality.

In this case, perhaps
the law was put into place

To protect people from a vice

That would otherwise
consume them.

Brackenreid: Doesn't make sense,
though, does it?

We fought wars for
the right to sell opium

And now we're handing out
fines to people who smoke

The same stuff that
the king sells in china

To fund the bloody navy.

It's totally illogical!

The hypocrisy
is difficult to reconcile.

But the law
is now the law.

And the law possibly
led to murder.

Nomi. What a pleasant surprise.
What are you doing here?

I need your help.

It's my friend, momo.
He's gone missing.

All right.
Who is he?

He's a ragpicker
from the ward.

I see him on his usual
route in the morning,

But this morning
he didn't come by.

So, you saw him
yesterday then?

Yes.

He said he was going
straight to the pub,

But when I went
there to check in,

They said
he never came by.

That's not unusual.

Ragpickers often attract
the attention of the police.

Did you check with your
local station house?

I don't feel comfortable
going to the police.

Why not?

Well, people like me,
for one thing,

Aren't taken seriously.

Mm. I'll ask around.
I'm sure he'll turn up.

Thank you.

Not exactly a model
citizen this momo, is he?

Nah, he's not
such a bad guy.

We've come to know him
fairly good, though.

One of many.
It's the ward.

And he's not in
your cells right now?

Haven't seen him in a few days,
so far as I can recall.

Sir.

Tom, to what do we
owe the pleasure?

Inspector decker.
Good morning to you, sir.

Your constables were just
giving me some information

On a criminal.

I've had trouble finding him.
This chap.

Oh, they were, were they?
Well, I hope they were helpful.

Mamadu shadd.
He's a ragpicker.

He probably got in a spot
of trouble, left town.

My thoughts precisely.

Hey, tom.

Next time you need something,
come to me, will you?

Nomi: These charges are
all for public drunkenness

And selling things
on the sabbath.

He's not a criminal.
He's just poor.

Whoa!

Oh!

Miss nomi, miss nomi!
Have you seen momo?

He said he was going to
bring us a new ball today.

He's away today,
but he'll be back soon.

And I know you two aren't
playing ball on a Sunday,

Anyhow, are you?

No, ma'am.

Nomi:
Very well. Carry on then.

As I said,
not a criminal.

People like him find
trouble all the time.

He probably had to
leave town for a while.

That isn't like him.
He has no enemies.

He never hurt anyone.

Or maybe you don't know him
as well as you think you do.

Even if that is true,
I'm worried.

I want to find him.

I heard someone
say they thought

They'd seen him
in rosedale.

Nomi, he'll turn up.
Just drop it.

Can I keep this?

Make sure you
don't lose it!

Murdoch:
What is it?

It's mayonnaise.
From a jar!

It's brand new.
It's all the rage, apparently.

Should there be other
ingredients with the mayonnaise?

William, just try it!

Well?

Well, it's something.

So, how goes the case?

Have you found
your murderer yet?

No.

But we found a great deal
of opium paraphernalia

In mr. Lai's shop.

Although only one
actual tin of opium,

The blue dragon brand.

Sounds exotic.

Hm.

Mr. Lai had recently
received a large shipment

Of camera lenses
from british columbia.

I can find no
manufacturer on record

That makes camera lenses
in british columbia.

But blue dragon opium
comes from a refinery

Just outside
of vancouver.

So, you think
it was stolen.

Someone knew he was
receiving a shipment

And robbed him?

And, in the process,
killed him,

Burned down his shop
to cover it up.

Carmichael:
Good morning, dearest wife.

Your husband
comes bearing gifts.

Hart:
We're on the front page.

We will be.
Tomorrow's paper.

But, ah, what
do you think?

Do you, ah, like seeing
yourself in print?

It's not the first time.

But do you like it?

I do.

Good.

Well, the gazette
will run something, too.

I'm working on getting
it above the fold.

If this hasn't been printed yet
could we make some changes?

My friend, rolph dalhousie,
owns the bloody rag.

You have it say
anything you like.

Good.

I want it to say, "mrs.
Carmichael

Is now the wealthiest
woman in canada."

Well, I'm not
sure that's true.

I mean, we're rich, but--

If people believe it to be true,
then what's the difference?

Oh! I fixed the headline.

I love it.

Nomi:
Have you seen this man?

Are you sure?

I beg your pardon!
Have you seen this man?

What are you
doing here, miss?

I'm looking
for my friend.

Where are you from?

I'm from the ward.

Well, you're a long
way from the ward.

How'd he get here?

-Where?
-Rosedale.

You're not from
this neighbourhood.

Well, I took a hansom.

Excursions are also
not permitted on sundays.

Are you serious?

I've seen many other people
taking hansoms all day.

I'm going to have to take you
on down to the station.

No. That's completely
ridiculous.

-Ma'am.
-Get your hands off me!

Stop this!
I've done nothing wrong!

That's enough. Enough!

Sir, you're hurting me.

I didn't do anything!

Stop this!
Let me go!

I've done nothing wrong!

Oh, doctor!

There's something I was hoping
to speak with you about.

Yes?

Are you familiar with the work
of a dr. Von schrenck-notzing?

Ah, the psychiatrist? Yes.

He works with hypnosis,
does he not?

Hypnosis and deviant
sexual impulses. Yes.

He boasts a perfect
success rate

With his patients.

That seems suspect

Considering what
he claims to cure.

Well, perhaps it is.
Nonetheless.

Are you asking
something from me?

You have experience working
with hypnosis, do you not?

Some.

Then I would
like you to treat me.

You are aware of my...

Yes, I'm aware.

Then you understand
what I'm asking.

-Well, I do. But I...
-Please.

Please just consider it.

I need your help.

What the bloody
hell happened?

I was arrested
for being coloured.

The constable
said you hit him.

After he grabbed me.

They saw a coloured woman
in rosedale

And they found a reason to
arrest me, simple as that.

None of this would have happened
if you'd just dropped it.

None of this would have happened
if you agreed to help me.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Come on. Let's go.

-Where?
-To find your friend.

Yeah.
That's my signature.

So you received this
shipment at the railway port?

Suppose I did.

You don't remember?

I receive a lot of shipments.
It's my job.

It's my understanding
that these manifests

Are kept on file
at your company's offices.

Sure.

Then why was this one
found in the waistcoat

Of a dead man?

Lai's dead?

So you knew him?

Yeah. A little.

He was murdered.
Last night.

Did you give this
manifest to him?

Yeah.
Yesterday morning.

Did he tell you
why he wanted it?

Yeah.
He said it was for proof.

Said he got a shipment
that was stolen from him.

He wanted to prove it
arrived in toronto

And that it was his.

He was going to
confront the thief?

Yeah. He was worried.
Scared.

Think he was
expecting a fight.

So he knew who the thief was?
Did he give you a name?

No. But I saw the man.

I went down to lai's shop
to give him the paper

And get my money.

When I was leaving,
I saw a man coming.

It was him. I know it.

It's the man
that killed him.

Yes, I saw him and I called
the police straightaway.

When was this?

This morning and they
never even showed up, did they?

Where did you see him?

Going into the laneway
around the corner.

Up to no good,
I'm sure.

Thank you, ma'am.
We'll take care of it.

What? You told me so?
Well, go on! Say it!

I didn't say a thing.

That's momo's cart.

Look.

Have you found your
killer yet, murdoch?

I have a sketch of the suspect.
Sir, what is all of this?

Oh, we found it in rosedale;
belongs to nomi's friend.

What is it?

A tin of blue
dragon opium.

Sir, I believe this may
have something to do

With the case
I'm working on.

How do you mean?

Are the two of you
looking for this man?

Oh, no.
That's him.

That's momo.

It can't be.

Momo is not a killer.

Murdoch:
There's an eyewitness.

Sir, he was seen outside
at the pawn shop

Shortly before the murder.

He has a stolen tin
of opium in his cart.

No.

Was he an opium smoker?

No! I don't think so.

Brackenreid:
Where would he have gotten it?

He probably
just found it.

I mean, that was his job.
He sells whatever he finds.

We need to find him.

We'll search the ward.

If he abandoned
the cart in rosedale,

Maybe he went back home?

Well, let me look for him.

There's no chance anyone
would believe a pair of coppers.

We aren't dressed
as constables.

There's no reason to think
anyone would know we are.

They'll know.

All right. Ask around.

But if you find anything out,
let me know.

Sir, the murder weapon
has not been recovered.

He could still be armed.

I know that.

Henry. Where is watts?

I have no idea.

Right.

I need you to gather
a few of the constables

And search the entire city
for every opium den.

You are looking for tins
of blue dragon opium.

Ah, sir, opium dens
are illegal.

Yes.

How am I supposed
to find them?

Use that famous
henry higgins ingenuity.

Well, all right.

I discovered an irregularity
while conducting my postmortem.

A burn mark on his palm.

Murdoch: His entire body
is badly burned, miss hart.

Why is that of interest?

His fist was clenched.

Perhaps he touched something,
burned his hand,

Then clenched
his fist.

Would he have been shot
in the back of the head?

Have you determined
whether he was shot

Before or after
the fire broke out?

No.

If they happened
in close succession,

It may be
impossible to tell.

A single burn on a body
that was discovered in a fire

Is hardly inconsistent,
miss hart,

Unless you have
something else?

Not at this time.

Thank you.

What happened?
I've been waiting for ya.

Momo's alive.

His mother was waiting
for me outside my door.

She saw him this morning
and he wants to see me.

He wants to see you when?

-Tonight.
-Where? Look, I'm coming.

No!

Well, what exactly
did he say?

I don't know. She just
said he wanted to see me.

He's armed and dangerous.
We need to find him.

-Where did she see him?
-She didn't say.

If I hear from him,
I'll let you know.

Julia, what is it?

What? Nothing.

If it truly is nothing,
then will you please

Stop the pacing?

I have a patient.

Well, a prospective patient.

He's asked me to
perform a treatment

I'm not convinced
will work.

What is it?

Hypnosis.

Oh! Well, you have some
experience with hypnosis.

It has proven
to be effective.

Julia:
For certain things.

He's asking me to cure him
of something unconventional.

His homosexuality.

Oh.

The only doctor with
any record of treatment

Is highly suspect.

He boasts a 100% success rate
with 45 sessions and a...

A trip to a brothel.

Could this treatment
be harmful?

No. Hypnosis either
works or it doesn't.

Side effects
are quite rare.

So, you aren't concerned
with the effectiveness

Of the treatment.

No.

I'm concerned that
the condition

Shouldn't be
treated at all.

Some people are given
a tremendous burden

To carry in this lifetime.

Through no fault
of their own.

Who are we to tell them
that they shouldn't try

To change their
circumstances?

Momo?

Nomi. Nomi.

Momo!

-Thanks for coming.
-Are you all right?

I'm sorry, nomi.

Why? What's wrong?
Where have you been?

I had to go.
It's not good.

I don't want to bring you
into all of this.

No. It's okay. Tell me.
What do you need?

You told me you
know a copper, yeah?

Friend of yours?

Yes. He's an inspector.

Okay. So, do you
remember when...

Sh!

Who's there?

Oi! You! Stay there!

Bollocks!

What are you doing?

Momo!

Brackenreid:
Give yourself up!

Do you understand?
You have to turn yourself in!

Bloody hell.

He could have
gone anywhere.

What are you doing?

I followed you.

I told you not to!

You were meeting a killer.
An armed killer.

That's not true.
He is my friend.

I've had enough of this
cloak and dagger stuff.

I'm going to inform
the local station house.

We'll find him.

If you find him,
let me talk to him.

You can talk to him when
he's safely behind bars.

Now, nomi, go and get yourself
inside your front door.

This is mamadu shadd.
Goes by momo.

He was last seen less
than an hour ago on terauley.

Now, we believe he is
responsible for the murder

Of george lai.

He's armed,
so be careful.

You find him
and you bring him in.

We can't have a guy like this
out on the streets.

Men:
No, sir.

Let's go, gents!

Men:
Yes, sir.

-Thanks for your help.
-Don't worry about it, tom.

They'll find
this rag-bastard.

Man in crowd:
Come this way. Come on! Careful!

Brackenreid: I could tell
she was hiding something,

So I followed her.

Was she angry?

She'll understand
when this is all over.

Man:
I see him!

-Far side of the building.
-You go that way, murdoch.

I just saw him.
He ran this way.

Distant man:
Stay right there.

Where the hell
did he go?

Distant man:
Don't move!

That came from behind us.

They shot him.

It's okay.
You're going to be all right.

I had to.
He had a gun.

He had a gun.

Holster your weapon,
constable.

Bloody hell.

Distant man: All right,
what can I get for you?

This isn't what I wanted.

It isn't what
any of us wanted.

I didn't want to kill him.

I saw the gun
and I reacted.

It just happened so fast.

It could have happened
to anybody in this room.

But I'm the one
who killed him.

I killed a man,
up close in the line of duty.

It's a terrible thing.

It stays with you forever.

Chin up, winchester.

You take comfort in the fact

You've taken a dangerous man
off the streets.

Yes, sir.

We need to maintain order.

Keep these people in line,
for the good of everyone.

Here, here.

You were supposed
to find him.

I know.

And bring him here.

Not kill him.

He had a gun.

That's not true.

There must be
some explanation.

Desperation makes a man
do curious things, nomi.

Perhaps he never revealed
this side of himself to you.

Oh, I can't believe it.

Sirs? I have some new
information.

Go on, miss hart.

Detective murdoch,
after our last conversation

I decided I would go ahead
and look into the burn mark

On mr. Lai's hand.

And?

As it turns out,
the area in the centre

Was far more shallow
than the perimeter.

In other words,
it was ring-shaped.

A burn like that could be
caused by an opium lamp.

Could it have
been an accident?

No. The intensity of
the burn was too great.

His hand would have had
to have been on that lamp

For quite some time.

He was tortured.

That was my conclusion.

Momo would never
torture someone.

Well, this proves
his innocence!

You don't know that, nomi.

I can't believe
I started to doubt him.

I thought maybe
something went wrong,

That he was pushed
to do something stupid.

This doesn't absolve
him completely.

Torture would suggest that
this is more than just

A simple robbery
gone wrong.

Perhaps
something personal?

Seems a bit nefarious for a
simple neighbourhood ragpicker,

Wouldn't you think?

Oh, exactly!

Thank you for
finding all this.

What luck I continued
to look into the evidence.

You all made me
believe he was a killer.

I hate that I even
listened to you.

Nomi...

Everyone, was so ready to
believe the worst in him.

Why?

Because he was
coloured and poor?

You never even
gave him a chance.

This has turned into
a real mess.

Hm.

As suspected, his fingermarks
are on the grip of the gun.

Naturally.
He was the killer.

There is one more partial mark
from the trigger to check.

That's odd.

-What is it?
-Tented arch.

That's very strange.

Brackenreid:
Elaborate, murdoch.

Sir, it doesn't match
any of the others.

Whoever pulled the trigger
on this gun last

Was not momo.

Bloody hell,
nomi was right.

Llewellyn? Llewellyn?

Are you all right?

How do you feel?

Do you want to continue?

This is...

The same.

It's...

It's the same.

I don't feel any different.

I don't believe
the hypnosis will work for you.

Why?

I felt a great deal of
resistance during the process.

I don't think you
truly want to change.

Oh, no. I do.
I have to.

But perhaps
this isn't a choice.

We just have
to accept it.

Try to find a way
to live alongside it.

I tried that.

I pushed it
aside for weeks.

But I can't endure
this anymore.

Changing yourself isn't
going to take away that pain.

It will stop it
from happening again.

My heart isn't broken because
someone doesn't love me anymore.

It's broken because someone
isn't allowed to love me.

But he does love you.

You don't want
to give that up.

That's the only
thing I want.

I don't want
to be like this.

I don't expect you
to understand.

If you want to,
we can try another session.

Miss johnston.

Miss hart.

I'm here to collect
momo's body for his family.

Of course. I'm so sorry.
This must be really hard.

Better me than
his poor mother.

I did want to say
I was very impressed

By the way you
spoke out earlier.

Anyone would be lucky to
have a friend such as you.

Fat lot of good
it did momo.

Don't be so hard
on yourself.

You did way more for him
than most would have.

I don't know.

I keep thinking there may
have been a better outcome

If I did some things
differently.

I could have been more
agreeable for those coppers.

They may have helped if
I was less troublesome.

Can I give you
a spot of advice?

Please.

Don't change yourself to
be who they want you to be.

They will always only
see you as one thing.

Take what you deserve.

Protect your heart
and don't trust any of them.

No matter what we do,
we will always be vilified.

If we fight for what's
right people will see.

They'll understand.

I think you're in for
a few more disappointments,

Miss johnston.

Brackenreid:
Nomi.

Miss hart, we'd like
a word about momo's hands.

Had he washed
them recently?

Ah, no.

They were covered in days
of grime, detective.

Murdoch:
Excellent.

I'd like you to perform
a gunpowder residue test.

Already done.
There wasn't any.

That leads us
to one conclusion.

Mr. Shadd never
fired that gun.

Of course not.

He was a ragpicker,
for god's sake.

He probably just found it
and picked it up.

An innocent man
killed by the police.

Nomi: He must have been trying
to give me the gun.

That's why he wanted
to meet with me.

I just wanted to make
sure you were safe.

Nomi:
He needed me.

If it wasn't for you,
momo would still be alive.

Amen!

Let us now go in
the spirit of the lord.

All right, all right,
enough of this.

It's time to disperse.

No!

What's that?

You patrol our homes,
you harass us

And you hunt us like animals
in the street.

Now you won't even
let us mourn in peace.

Amen, sister.
You tell them!

Easy, constable.

Momo was the kindest,
most gentle soul

You could ever meet.

But that's just the type
of man that momo was.

He cared about
his community.

Seeing other people smile
made him smile.

He was a loving,
gentle soul

And I am going
to miss him.

Right before he died,
he even gave me a small gift.

The most beautiful carved
lotus you could ever see.

And it is something
that I will cherish forever.

-Speak, sister!
-Amen.

So let us go
and lay our friend to rest.

As is our right.

All right, move it!

Ah, sir.

We found and raided
three opium dens.

These are all
the tins you found?

Well, yes, sir.

It was no easy task,
I can tell you.

Unfortunately,
it won't be of any help.

None of these are
blue dragon brand opium.

Higgins:
What is it, sir?

Murdoch:
Blue dragon.

Where did you
find this one?

That one was found close
to the original fire

In the back of a laundry
run by a woman named...

-Sue sing?
-Yes, sir. That's it.

Bring her in, henry.

Oh. Sorry, sir. Right.

You forgot your...

Ah. Yes. Sir.

Man:
Thank you.

Pardon me,
but I can't let you in.

And why is that?

You shouldn't have been
sold this ticket.

Tonight is reserved
for our special clientele.

And I am not?

Thank you for being
so understanding.

What's the holdup here?

My love, what are you
doing outside?

The show's about to start.

Mr. Carmichael.

Come on, now.

Oh, no.

Man:
Don't move.

Bad luck, missy.

Move
and you're dead.

Please.
Please, take what you want.

They won't get away
with this.

We'll get the lads
onto it right away.

I'm not so sure
about that.

-Oi! Decker!
-What is it?

This young lady had
her room in the ward

Robbed last night.

And your constables haven't done
a single thing about it.

Huh?

We can't investigate
every little thing

That happens in the ward, tom.

It's the constabulary's
responsibility.

Sure. Fine. We'll, ah,
look into it when we have time.

Brackenreid:
Decker, don't palm me off.

You need to send someone
round there right now!

It's the ward, tom!

These people are always robbing
each other and all sorts.

It's in their nature.

That's not true.

Why do you care so much?

Who knows why this one's
room was broken into?

A woman like her
living in the ward.

It's probably not
aboveboard, anyway.

Be careful what you say
about my daughter!

Your daughter?

I didn't take you for
that kind of a man, tom.

And what kind of man
do you think I am?

A man of integrity.

Be careful, tom.

You don't want to reveal
something like that

To the wrong person.

Are you threatening me?

I'm just looking out
for your reputation, is all.

And what's that
supposed to mean?

Nomi:
Never mind him, nomi.

I'll sort this out myself.

Nomi: I can't believe
I left this out.

What is it?

It's a necklace
my mother gave me.

They didn't take it?

They weren't
trying to rob me?

Unless they were looking
for something else.

What could they possibly
be looking for in here?

Is that the trinket
that momo gave you?

The one that you
mentioned at the funeral?

Yes. Isn't it beautiful?

Looks expensive.
I wonder where he found it.

Hey! Give that back!
You might break it.

You might have to.
There's something inside it.

-Give it here.
-No!

If those men were after it,
it may have something to do

With whatever momo
found himself mixed up in.

I think there's
a trick to it.

Look.

A film.

You recognize this?

Opium. Everybody know opium.

This particular
brand of opium,

It's the same as the kind
that was found in mr. Lai's den.

Ah. He still have den?

I not know.

Hm.

This tin, along with
several others,

Are the ones that were found
in the back of your laundry.

My laundry?

I no understand.

Oh, it's a very
lavish opium den.

La...La-vish?

No understand.

English not so good.

You don't understand
the word lavish?

No!

No, english no good.

No good. Yes.
Well, that's interesting.

Because you seemed to
understand the word lavish

Perfectly well
the night that mr. Lai

Was murdered when
you said it to me.

Hm.

Apologies, detective.

I am not myself today.

Such a mistake
is quite rare for me.

So you killed
mr. Lai for his opium?

My own cousin? Never.

I bought that opium.

I had no idea
it was stolen.

Murdoch:
Who did you buy it from?

I do not know.

Miss sing, you don't know
who you purchased opium from?

I mean, detective,
that I cannot,

Rather, will not say.

Murdoch.
I need your help with this.

Murdoch:
Constables gracie and buck

From station house 1.

They appear to be selling
opium to miss sing.

Bollocks!

I can't wait to see the look
on that bastard decker's face.

Sir, where did you
get this negative?

Momo gave this
trinket box to nomi.

It was inside.

Sir, this is
a chinese puzzle box

And mr. Lai
did sell cameras.

It's plausible that
he gave this to momo

For safekeeping.

And he gave it to nomi
so the men after him

Wouldn't find it.

Because those men
were police constables.

Which would explain
why miss sing

Is refusing to
speak to me.

Get a confession, murdoch.

I'm going to pay
station house 1 a visit.

Mcnab! Break out the armory.

Man: You heard the man!
Up and at 'em!

Is this why you wouldn't tell
me who sold you the opium?

Because it was sold to
you by police constables?

Tell me everything you know,

And you will need to
testify in court.

I'm not stupid enough
to point fingers

At a cop to a cop.

Look what happened
to poor mr. Lai.

These men need to be
brought to justice.

No harm will come to you
as long as I am involved.

You are naive, detective.

There will be
no justice.

No one cares about
a dead chinese man,

Far less a dead
chinese woman.

Testifying against them
is the only right thing to do.

Don't you want
to see the men

Who killed your cousin
behind bars?

They're coppers.
They protect their own.

If I testify,
it will ruin my life

And it won't even help

To put the corrupt
constables behind bars!

Arrest me for the drug charge,
if you must.

I'd rather take
my chances in the cells.

Brackenreid:
Oi, decker!

I have two of your constables
selling stolen opium

To an underground opium den.

Opium, mind you,
that was stolen

From a man
who turned up dead.

So, you tell me: What do you
think should happen next?

You are way off step, tom.
These are good men.

Good men don't
shoot people.

You think patrolling
the ward is easy?

You come here,
puffed up like a pigeon,

And try to arrest my men?

Why don't you go back
to the part of town you belong?

That momo character
was the killer.

What are you on about?

He was most certainly not.

He never fired that gun.

But, curiously, we did find
an unidentified fingermark

On the trigger.

Cop:
So what?

Now, decker, I wonder
would your constabless

Be willing to give their
fingermarks to clear themselves?

If they truly are
as innocent as you claim.

Okay, okay.
The gun was placed...

What are you doing?

... But it was only
because the man was guilty.

He killed someone.

We had to bring him to justice,
one way or the other.

Not that way, son.

Enough!

My men did their job,
end of story.

Brackenreid:
I don't think so, decker.

This time I've got proof.

Constables gracie and buck,
I'm arresting the pair of you

For the murder
of mr. George lai.

-No way!
-Take 'em away, lads.

Get your hands off of me!

Let's see what the crown
has to say about this.

I'm sure we will, decker.

I'm sure we will.

The crown attorney isn't too
happy with the murder charges.

Did he not look
at the evidence?

They're going to be charged
with stealing the opium,

Lose their jobs,
maybe a few weeks in jail,

But nothing more.

So, they won't be punished
for mr. Lai's murder?

Decker and the rest
of station house 1

Are lying for them.

Counsel for the crown says
he'll never get a conviction.

Miss sing is refusing
to testify now, anyway.

I'm beginning to see why.

Are you really surprised?

What's that, watts?

We work for a system
that builds laws to ensure

That those who fit what
society wants are rewarded,

While those who do not
are left to suffer.

You can't get rid
of the rule of law.

There'd be anarchy.

But the laws
don't apply to everyone.

There is injustice
all around us.

But we live in
a democracy.

In time, laws will evolve
to reflect the people.

Oh! Really?

When?

And what are we supposed
to do until then?

Our best, watts.

We do our best.

Nomi:
Father.

Thank you for coming.

Any news on the case?

It's not looking
too good.

The crown are not
going to prosecute.

Well, we still have
to do something.

We can't give up.

I'm so sorry, nomi.

My hands are tied.

Your hands are
never truly tied.

You just have to decide what
you're willing to fight for.

It's not that simple.

Well, like yesterday.

You stood up for me.

You finally said
I'm your daughter.

Well, yes, you are.

I appreciate that
more than you know.

I'm sorry it's
taken so long.

Let's just move
forward together.

As a family.

Come here.

I have the most wonderful
evening planned for us.

Is that so?

I want to show you my
beautiful new jade opium pipe.

And we can try blue dragon.
It's all the rage uptown.

-Constable.
-Hello, sir.

-Unbelievable.
-What? It's only a hobby.

Which I've taken up
at your suggestion.

In the past three days
I've seen two dead bodies

Because of the opium law,

A law that doesn't seem
to affect you at all.

Of course not.
Why should it?

You go through life so easily
doing whatever you please.

Do you think I would have
fared as well brandishing

That tin in front
of that officer?

Well, that's certainly
no fault of mine.

Anyway, you would have
fared just fine

So long as you
were with me.

And that is precisely
the problem.

All right, all right.
You've had your row.

Can we get back
to the merriment?

Where are you going?

I feel like a walk.

-Then let's...
-Alone.

Violet. Come on!

I'll see you at home.

If you're conscious.

You must be feeling
very pleased with yourself.

Of course.

Justice was served, hm?

We know what
you did, decker.

Your constables may have
got away with this one,

But I'll be keeping
a close eye on you lot

Very carefully from now on.

Is that a threat?

Last I checked,
you are the one

With a dirty
little secret, tom.

Please excuse
my clumsiness.
