is approximately 15 minutes away.

There are no changes.

(crowd chattering)

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> Sure.

>> Mr. Mayor, I just wanted to say congratulations

and good luck. >> Thank you.

>> I wanna grab a minute of your time to introduce you

to a friend of mine.

He's with the breeder's association.

They contributed to your campaign

last year. >> Oh yeah, thanks for...

>> Roger Woo, Dominic Da Vinci.

>> We're all really looking forward to working with

to try and save the track here from going under.

>> I'm looking to see how that goes.

>> We're hoping you can get some slot machines in here.

Increase attendants, put some more money in their purses.

Save a lot of jobs.

>> Well, like I say, we'll have to see

how things develop right there

but I'm pretty confident.

>> I'd like you to meet someone.

He's got a casino license.

They'd love to be involved in that.

>> I'd love to, but another time.

I've gotta get down to the winners' circle.

I'm addressing the winner of the first race.

You can just call my office, okay?

Richard? >> I'll be in touch.

>> Track Announcer: Your attention please.

>> Mayor.

>> How you doing Lloyd?

(water splashing)

(trumpet drowns out announcement)

Decorating the winner of this race

will be our newly elected mayor.

(crowd chatters)

Ladies and gentlemen,

decorating the winner of tonight's race,

let's give a warm Hastings welcome

to the new mayor-elect of Vancouver,

Dominic Da Vinci!

(crowd cheers)

>> Mr. Mayor.

Lloyd Manning wants to say hello.

>> Sure.

>> Uh, no.

Lloyd Manning?

Don't promise him anything.

Not even a meeting.

He's gonna try to corner you.

>> Okay so no promises.

>> No promises. >> All right.

>> And say hello to the Singhs and the Woos

on your way back up.

Lumber, real estate. >> Okay.

>> Track Announcer: The horses have now reached

the starting gate.

It is almost time.

>> Da Vinci: Hey Lloyd.

>> Hey, Dominic.

>> You sent for me?

>> Yep. >> How you doing?

Who's this?

>> This is Ed. >> How do you do?

>> Tracy, Leo, >> Hi nice to meet you.

You look great.

>> You know Glenn.

>> How you doing?

Don't listen to him,

'cause he won't know anything. (Lloyd laughs)

How you doing?

>> Good.

>> Is everything okay?

>> It looks like we're having some problems,

(conversation is drowned out by crowd)

We're having some problems.

I know that you really screwed me

and I wanna set things straight.

>> What kinda problems are you having?

>> Well... >> How could I screw you?

I just got elected.

>> Well the thing...

(bell rings) (horse hooves pounding)

>> You, and the city, and everyone in it.

I wanna clear things up. >> I hear what you're saying.

Just gonna... >> Really, serious?

>> We'll talk later.

Now's not the time, eh?

(crowd cheering)

You good?

You like that suit didn't you?

Is that what you said before?

I want to thank you so much for your contribution

in the campaign.

Any luck tonight?

You play these?

I've never seen you here.

How's it going?

Is this your friend?

How you doing?

Your brother?

Nice to meet you, I've heard nice things about you.

We'll get together soon okay?

He says we screwed him.

How did we screw him?

>> Looks like I'm about to find out.

Hi, what do you have here?

(conversation is drowned out by crowd)

(horse hooves pounding)

(crowd cheers)

>> Did you win?

>> Yeah!

>> Oh my god!

(police radio chatter)

>> Police Officer: I'm sorry ma'am,

you can't come through right now.

You're gonna have to go around.

>> Excuse me.

>> I'm with the coroner's service.

>> Excuse me?

>> I'm the coroner.

Where's the machete?

Where's the weapon?

Where's the machete?

>> I don't know.

Somebody picked it up and bagged it.

>> Somebody bagged it?

You wanna find out who that was?

Where's homicide, they here yet?

>> I think they just rolled in.

>> Okay, you wanna find out who's got that weapon?

For future reference I'd like to take a good look

at the scene before you guys start carting shit away.

No ID?

Who's running the show here?

Who's controlling the...

(police radio chatter)

No, this is just a bit too sloppy.

>> Excuse me, detective.

You got a minute?

>> Angela: Sure.

>> Heya Joe.

How are you?

Congratulations.

>> Thanks.

>> There anything you can tell me so far?

The chief wants to be up to the minute on this.

>> We only just landed.

We haven't talked to any witnesses yet.

>> Okay, well I'm around.

Keep me posted.

Hey!

Hey!

>> Throwing the firelight up on this one pretty quick.

>> Yeah, this is gonna be a long one.

>> No comments to anyone on this, yeah?

Let's just keep our mouths shut.

>> Reporter: What gay activists

are already calling another hate crime.

Spokesperson and newly-elected city counselor Jason Horne

vowed to continue to push the issue.

In other news,

homeless activists were busy in the downtown area

early this morning, staging a rally in...

(radio shuts off)

>> Morning Mr. Mayor.

>> Morning.

I can get my own door, eh?

>> It's not a problem, sir.

>> Get on it. >> 'Kay.

>> Honeymoon's over, shit has started to fly.

>> Da Vinci: Good morning.

>> Sam: Yeah.

>> So we're still, the school breakfast?

Is that still on?

>> Yeah, but there's been a police-involved shooting

at a halfway house for drug-addicted mental patients.

One of the residents was shot to death on the front lawn.

The switchboard's already lighting up about it.

>> So we want to do what about that?

>> Well the neighbors have been complaining

for the last six months.

They want it shut down.

The police want it shut down,

but we got half a dozen more houses opening across the city

over the next year on the same program.

If this blows up it's gonna make that not so easy.

The province and the feds are in for a lot of dough,

so we gotta keep it open.

So you might want to put in an appearance down there

to keep things calm.

>> I'm not sure I wanna go stepping on people's toes

my first week in office.

Can't we just see where this goes?

>> At least maybe put in a call to your buddy the chief,

ask him to keep his press comments to a minimum.

>> Right, my buddy.

You got your phone?

Oh, I got it, I got it.

So what's happening after the school?

>> Our friend Lloyd Manning.

>> That was fast.

>> Yeah sure, he latches on like a tick.

>> School breakfast, I am getting breakfast there.

>> Mm-hmm.

Pancake breakfast, it'll be great.

>> Okay that's great,

I'm starving. (phone beeping)

(phone rings)

>> Da Vinci: That you Bill?

>> No, it's Charlie.

>> Da Vinci: Give me the chief, can I talk to the chief?

>> Yeah, hang on.

It's the mayor.

>> Dominic?

>> Da Vinci: Hey, how you doing?

We got a situation with the police shooting.

I just heard.

>> I'm down there now as a matter of fact.

>> I'm just asking you

if you could please refrain from making any comments

to the press about the situation.

>> We've been taking it up the ass

on these police-involved shootings

and I'm not gonna sit back

and let the press spin it back on us

or the coroner's office take potshots at my people,

two of whom were attacked by a machete an hour ago.

There is media bias Dominic.

I'm not playing the game anymore.

>> You go reacting like this every time.

You go blaming the media

every time something like this happens.

They just come back at you harder the next time.

That house has got to stay open.

These folks need housing.

>> Listen to me.

I am standing by my people on this.

>> I'm just suggesting you let the coroner buy you some time.

There's gonna be a public inquiry.

There always is on stuff like this.

Let the coroner take some of the heat off.

Can you do that?

>> This is not a coroner's investigation.

It's a homicide and we are investigating it.

>> I'm just saying let him run some interference

and if your guys end up being culpable on this...

>> How the hell are we culpable on this?

You got an addicted lunatic threatening people

in the neighborhood with a machete for Christ's sake!

>> Recovering, recovering.

That's the whole point of this.

They're not addicted anymore.

They're recovering.

>> Yeah, all right.

Okay, that's fine, you can call it whatever you want,

but I want that house shut down

and taking a backseat is not gonna help that agenda.

>> Okay, as far as the house goes, Bill, here it is, okay?

You do not set civic policy.

That's just not your job.

You know how many police chiefs we've had

in the last 10 years Bill?

>> Yeah okay, good talking to you.

(reporters chattering)

Ladies and gentlemen, how are you?

>> That escalated pretty good.

You can do zero to 60 pretty quick.

>> Okay.

Do you wanna get hold of the coroner down there for me?

(funky music)

(car horn honks)

Hey, thanks.

(car door slams)

(Da Vinci laughs)

>> Hello sir.

>> How you doing?

>> Good.

(children chattering)

>> Did you not want any syrup on that?

You hardly have any.

>> Sir I need you to meet the principal here.

Her name is Lisa Lundquist.

>> You gotta get going, eh?

>> Yes. >> Okay.

Well it's very nice to meet you all.

Doing okay?

Okay. (laughs)

>> Dominic, this is Lisa Lundquist.

She is the principal here.

>> Hi. >> How do you do?

>> Pleasure to meet you.

Thanks for coming. >> Well it's a pleasure

to meet you.

I've heard so many great things about you.

>> Thanks. >> Can I get two?

>> Yep. >> All right, thank you.

I've been looking forward to your pancakes all morning.

(Mrs. Lundquist laughs)

>> Here's some syrup.

>> Really appreciate some of the things

that you're doing down here,

especially these meals.

But you have a situation?

>> Yeah, yeah I do.

Do you think we can?

Well, we've got quite a--

>> Bye-bye, see you later, nice to meet y'all!

>> Bye!

>> Got quite a significant aboriginal student population here

and over the past year or so we've had a real problem

with pimps approaching the young girls,

the grade six and sevens, and seducing them into the trade.

>> And there's a park being planned for the other side there

and Lisa's concerned that it might

become a bit of a hangout for the pimps and the dudes.

>> What, you don't want a park?

>> Yeah, yeah.

You know, we're really between a rock and a hard place here.

I mean, we don't want to turn the school

into some kinda armed camp with a lotta police presence,

and we could really use the green space,

but it's gonna be a problem.

I mean, I can see them out there every day,

cruising the school, it's not even eight o'clock.

>> And the kiddie stroll's just a block away

on the other side.

>> Okay, well where's the park support on this issue,

do you know?

>> Well they've been planning a park

on the other side of the school there for years

at the neighborhood's request.

>> Well that was then.

The neighborhood's changed since then.

>> In the meantime the kiddie stroll's moved up there

and the crackdown on the downtown east side shifted a lot

of the drug dealing right up Commercial Drive.

And now the school's caught in the middle.

>> You know, I'd hate to lose the green space.

I also lobbied for the park,

but I'm just terrified that it's gonna end up

with the dealers taking it over.

>> I'll see what I can do.

I'll get hold of the parks board

and just see where they're at with this.

I'm not sure that we can even do anything at this point,

but I'll certainly find that out

and I'll get back to you

as soon as I can. >> Okay, thank you.

(ship horn blares)

>> Guy was out walking his dog like usual.

Dog takes off into the woods,

he can't call it back so he follows him in

and finds him sniffing at it.

>> You find anything else out here with the remains?

>> Not so far.

Thought I'd let you do your thing.

>> I will when you find anything.

>> Right through here.

Right back here.

>> Okay.

Oh yeah, there we go.

Yeah, looks like a femur.

>> It's pretty small, I figured a small woman or a kid.

>> Yeah, maybe.

Looks like maybe some animal got ahold of it

and chewed on it a little.

Coyotes run through here.

Okay.

Tape off the trail head

and see if you can keep this end of the woods off-limits

for a while.

(upbeat music)

>> Da Vinci: How did we ever screw Manning?

Did you ever find that out?

>> It wasn't us.

It was the last administration,

stiffed him on a city ad contract he's had for 15 years.

>> Excuse me. Oh yeah?

>> He's screaming somebody from the previous council

took a bribe from the competition.

He's gonna sue the city for lost future revenue.

>> So it has nothing to do with me.

>> Yeah, I don't know, it's worth a meeting.

After that we have city staff introductions,

chief of police, city planner,

I wrote up a press release for you.

>> It's the coroner.

>> Is it?

Mick.

Thanks, you got it?

How's it going down there?

>> I'm just trying to get a handle on things.

>> Okay, you gotta do me a favor, okay?

Would you just get over there by the chief

and just see if you can get him to defer to you

in terms of comments to the press?

I'm afraid he's gonna say something,

put his foot in it.

>> Yeah, it's a bit too late for that.

He's already doing it.

They're gonna be coming after me next.

>> Well you know what to do.

>> Sam: Oh, Julia.

>> Jacobs, what a prick.

>> Oh, Dominic, I'd like to introduce Julia Forsythe,

the city administrate.

I don't know if you two have met yet.

>> Oh yeah, we've met several times.

How you doing?

>> Good.

>> Nice to see you. >> Good morning.

>> Good morning.

>> We have to talk about the fire department.

>> Fire department, okay, well give Rita a shout

to do whatever you need to.

>> Okay, great. >> I look forward to it.

>> Yes.

>> Sam: After you.

>> You know, Lou, you drag a body someplace,

you wanna drag it downhill.

It's faster and easier.

Or if you're lost and tired, you're going downhill.

Oh.

Here we go.

Here we go, eh?

And there we go.

You got that skull?

All right.

Yeah, we got something.

>> I thought since I do so much business in the city

we might as well get to know each other.

Remember Don Glenn?

>> Sure do.

I remember him from the track the other night.

He was the only one cashing as I remember.

>> Lloyd: Big winner.

>> I'll have to take pointers from you.

>> Listen, I don't know if anybody's briefed you

on our situation.

>> Well the way I understand it,

this has to do with the contract that didn't go your way.

>> I've had the advertising contract with the city

for almost 17 years with no complaints.

I underbid the winning bid by a very substantial margin.

This new company's not even Canadian, let alone local.

What happened?

>> Well as I understand things, council voted the other way.

>> Council's votes were bought.

>> Rita: That's a pretty serious allegation.

>> Da Vinci: Got evidence to back that up?

>> Glenn: It's there.

>> Da Vinci: Why wouldn't you go to the police

with this one?

>> We thought we might try to resolve this

a little less publicly.

>> Sam, Rita, would you mind taking Mr. Glenn,

offer him a cup of coffee?

>> Course.

>> Thank you very much.

Want something Lloyd?

You're good?

Rita?

Okay, well I'm just interested...

Kinda new at this, in real terms what would that contract,

losing that contract mean to you?

>> Over the next 10 years, tens of millions.

It's lost revenue to the city,

lost revenue to our country as--

>> Lot of money.

You're seeking what?

Damages from us?

>> I want the contract back.

>> Well if you give me a look at some of that evidence

that's there, I'll start looking into it.

That's the best I can do for now.

How's that?

>> That's very good.

>> Da Vinci: Okay.

>> I'll have Don contact you.

>> Okay.

>> Listen, thanks a lot.

I really appreciate your time.

>> Well my door's always open.

>> I hope this works out.

>> Me too.

>> Dominic.

>> Thanks Lloyd.

>> You really can't be making deals behind closed doors.

>> I wasn't making any deals behind any closed doors.

>> You just want us there taking notes in case somebody says

you promised something that you didn't.

That is what we're here for.

>> All right. >> Did you promise something?

>> Nope, just an open conversation.

No deals were made.

>> Okay well maybe next time

we can handle it a bit differently.

This is your protection we're talking about.

>> I'll take it under advisement.

>> What's the matter with you?

You look like you lost your best friend.

>> (sighs) Thomas Stern,

the campaign manager for the previous two mayors,

apparently committed suicide last night.

>> Thomas Stern?

Sorry to hear that.

>> Yeah, me too.

If there was influence in awarding the ad contract,

he would've been the one to handle it.

We're not gonna be getting any information there.

>> Suicide?

That's harsh.

>> It's a bit of a shocker.

Bit of a shocker.

Right?

(buttons clicking)

>> Hey.

Did you hear about Tom Stern?

(car engine starts)

>> You guys didn't get a chance

to talk to the constables, huh?

>> Nah, they were in the ambulance and gone pretty quick.

>> I got statements from two patients here in that house

who spoke to the victim an hour before the incident.

They say he was playing music in his room real loud.

They went down, asked him to turn it down.

They said he was cooperative, didn't seem agitated.

But the music started up again about an hour later.

>> I got the other neighbors over here.

The woman in the basement seat was watching TV

and saw the whole thing.

Guy in the basement in this house heard his dog bark

and so he came out and saw most of it.

Now, the lady says she heard the loud music

and made a noise complaint about 3:40.

The cruiser arrived,

cannot pinpoint the music was coming from

because it wasn't playing when they arrived.

They went around the side of the house over there.

>> The victim's living where?

Right here in the basement?

>> Yeah, just right here in front.

>> The next thing she knows,

the victim comes down the other side of the house

with the machete, yelling.

The neighbor's dog is going crazy,

barking at him and the constables.

He slips on the lawn,

takes a couple swipes at the constables,

and that's when the gunfire started.

>> What about the guy with the dog?

What's he saying?

>> Well now, he says the whole thing started in the street,

but the constables fired first.

And that's when the guy started attacking with the machete.

>> He see which constable fired?

>> Nah, he just heard the shots.

Can't say who it was.

>> All right.

Okay, I guess we all know

this one's gonna be under a lot of scrutiny.

I'm gonna be asking you guys to let me know what you learn

as you learn it, if that's okay.

>> Sure.

Sure, yeah, we're just gonna hang here for a bit,

knock on a few more doors.

See you.

>> See you later, Joe.

>> Oh, I got a little problem

with what Manning has been saying

about the advertising contract with the city.

Okay, now correct me if I'm wrong,

but the voting, specifically on the bids for that contract,

that's done by council in private.

Right? >> Yes, that was in-camera.

>> Okay, well he's going around saying

that he's aware that he had the lower bid.

How would he know that

if it's all done in private? >> Well somebody in council

would have had to tell him

what the other bid was. >> Exactly.

We've got leaks springing from the council.

So what I wanna do is,

right away, is I wanna start interviewing these councilors

and I wanna find out >> Actually, what if you

>> how my ship's running. >> let me do the interviews?

>> No, I do the interviews.

>> Rita: No. >> No, well if it's bad news,

if it's our people you don't wanna know about it.

It's better. >> We have three people

who were on council when that contract was awarded

and they could be complicit.

>> Right.

Okay, I'll bring it up at the next caucus meeting.

You can handle the interviews? (phone ringing)

>> Good idea. >> All right.

And those gotta get upstairs--

>> Hello?

>> Let's go. >> You guys go,

I gotta take this, okay?

Yes, hello.

Jason.

(door creaks)

>> Lou: (sighs) Hey. >> Hi.

>> How you doing?

>> Claire: Good.

>> Is he busy? >> Claire: Go ahead.

>> Yeah.

Hey, you got a minute?

>> Yeah, Lou, hey.

What do you got?

>> Listen, we found some remains out in the woods

near the university.

I printed up some of the photos here.

Small skeleton.

>> Oh yeah, look at that.

>> I don't know how long it's been there.

Anyway, I was checking the location on the computer,

and I found that there was

another set of remains found there

about five years ago.

>> Really?

>> So I thought maybe it could be a relation.

'Cause you can see some of the pictures look like

it could've came from the same location.

>> Yeah, they do.

I'm gonna check that out.

>> Lou: Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> Well that's bullshit.

Absolute bullshit to have a facility like that

in a residential neighborhood.

>> Okay, what we don't want is to turn incident

into a big campaign that's gonna put the blame

firmly at the feet

of the entire mental patient community here, okay?

We can't do that.

This house has functioned without incident for six months.

I'm willing to bet money it'll be the only incident

that ever occurs there.

>> Well all I can say is

thank God no innocent people were killed.

>> Well before we go condemning the victim as guilty,

can we just complete the investigation?

Come on. >> I'm not backing off on this.

It's not the way we should be dealing with these people

and you know it.

>> See, that's public health policy.

The police do not set civic policy.

How do I make this clear to this man?

>> We have a couple other things to talk about.

Should we maybe move on?

Okay? >> Okay,

let's talk about making a joint statement

about how we're gonna work together

to make the city a safer place.

>> All right.

>> Okay, fine.

Well see, one of my campaign promises, there we go,

is about the community police stations.

We wanna get them back into the community.

What's your proposal on how we do that?

>> Give me the people, I'll put them in the community.

>> There's no money to give you any more people.

>> That's not my problem.

>> Yes it is your problem.

You gotta find a way within the budget

to put more guys on the street.

You gotta cut overtime.

You gotta do whatever you have to do.

You cannot keep running over budget.

>> I want more officers.

You want more officers.

Not only are you not willing to give me more money,

you want me to spend less.

>> That's it exactly.

You gotta find a way to deal with the situation

within the budget.

We're getting somewhere here.

This is beautiful.

>> As long as you keep on giving us problems

like these halfway houses,

I'm gonna need more constables.

>> Fine, fine, just do that within the budget.

>> Well that's impossible.

Can't be done.

>> As a matter of fact, I want a proposal from you, Bill.

I want it at the next police board meeting

on how you're planning to get these community stations

back up and running.

>> Like I said, it can't be done.

>> If you can't do it, you're gonna have to explain why

at the board meeting.

Take it easy.

>> Get the head of the union on the phone for me, will you?

>> Captain.

>> They'll wanna know the mayor's going after their overtime.

>> Could you get hold of the city administrator,

make an appointment for me?

I'd love to get a look at this budget

so I know what he's actually talking about.

>> Thank you, this is mine?

>> Yep.

>> You got this for me?

That's nice of you.

>> (laughs) Couple things developing

you might want to know about.

The homeless activists wanna talk to you.

>> You made a big about their housing issues

during the campaign.

You might want to address that.

>> 'Kay, what else?

>> Jason Horne wants us to meet him at the lagoon.

He wants to talk about the gay-bashing.

>> Alleged gay-bashing.

>> Call a spade a spade.

>> Call a spade a spade?

Then why does he want me to meet him down at the park?

>> He wants you to be seen there.

He thinks it'll bring attention

to the case, let people know >> Exactly.

>> it's an important issue. >> People are aware

this is an important issue.

>> It's a favor he's asking. >> It's a favor,

there's no harm in chalking up a few of those.

>> I know what he wants, okay? >> And it's his constituency.

He wants to let people know he cares.

>> I'm not talking to media. >> Just make an appearance.

It won't take long.

>> I don't want to talk to media about this,

not at this time. >> Hey.

You got time, why don't you go talk to Jason.

I'll see what the homeless guys want, okay?

>> You know what they want, don't you?

They want homes.

>> So what do you got here?

>> Oh, it's another case of some remains found out here

about five years ago.

>> Five years ago?

Yeah, I don't think I was on that one.

>> No?

Well some guy found a skull,

thought he'd take it home with him.

Thinks it's aboriginal, nobody's gonna miss it.

You believe it?

These are the case file photos right here.

I just wanna see how far apart these sites are.

Maybe they're together.

>> Well, nothing much has changed.

That's the trail head right there.

>> Yeah, right there right?

>> Yeah.

>> I think we can find this.

Wanna take a look?

>> Sure.

So how's the new gig?

>> Oh yeah, pretty good.

Lot of bedtime reading, I'll tell you that.

>> Yeah, I'll bet.

They got me doing homicide.

>> Yeah, I thought you would wanna do homicide.

>> Yeah, I know, but Leo retired, you moved on,

Rose took a job back east,

and all the sudden--

(melancholy music drowns out speaker)

>> What is your concern?

>> Well, my concern is that the police aren't treating this

as a hateful attack despite the obvious.

Everybody knows this is a gay stroll.

Half the world knows it.

>> What makes you think they're not treating it that way?

>> Well the first murder wasn't prosecuted as a hate crime

'cause the crown said there wasn't any evidence.

Now, I followed that case quite closely.

I don't think they asked the right questions.

I don't think they did the right approach.

I'm concerned they're gonna do the same thing again.

>> You know, I can't really get in there

and try and direct this investigation, eh?

>> No, but you could maybe report

to my constituents in the west end.

They're demanding that this be locked in as a hate crime.

Now I don't know if it's a hate crime.

I don't want it to be.

But I just think the police need to be pushed a little bit

given previous experience.

>> Well, what I could do is I could give homicide a call.

I can make them aware that the community's concerned.

>> Sure it'll have a lot more weight coming from you.

>> I got a question for you.

>> Sure.

>> What are your feelings about putting in the slots

down at the racetrack at Hastings Park there?

>> What are your feelings?

>> I think the slots are necessary.

I think we put the slots in down there,

we keep the jobs, we need them.

And if we don't, we're gonna lose the track

and the jobs of the perps

and the Vancouver Institution, too.

>> Those are my feelings.

>> So if it comes down to a vote,

you'd come down the yes side?

>> Sure, I got no problem with that.

>> Great.

>> Well, I don't know why they didn't find this one

five years ago.

It's buried ten feet from the other one.

>> Yeah.

And now you're looking for two kids.

Probably related, yeah?

>> Well they're about the same size, who knows?

>> How do you want to treat the scene?

Want me to start a homicide file on it?

>> I guess you could get the guys down here

from your old crew.

Take a good look around,

make sure we didn't miss anything else, yeah.

I'll go back over missing persons,

start looking for a pair of aboriginal kids.

>> Yeah.

>> Here we go.

>> Raj, Shakil.

At the end of the last session here,

the council right at the last minute.

They reached a decision I find kind of...

They awarded the city advertising contract

which is six, seven million dollars eh,

to a new firm, a Pacificon Media.

Now, that contract used to be awarded to Lloyd Manning.

I'm sure you're aware of Lloyd Manning, right?

Now, you were in council last year.

Could you shed any light for me

as to why that might have happened that way?

>> Yeah, Pacific presented an attractive deal.

And it was generally felt by council that Manning

wasn't getting the most out of the budget for us.

>> Well I've heard allegations

Pacificon was throwing some money around out there.

Who was in on that decision?

>> It was made at an in-camera meeting.

>> It was?

Well, details of that meeting got leaked out,

'cause Lloyd Manning knew that he submitted the lowest bid.

And that's just one of the reasons

why he wants to sue the city right now.

>> Look, Pacificon Media came up here, not just to Vancouver,

they hit Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto,

all the major cities, and you know,

they scored advertising contracts

in most of those places as well.

They're big, they're good at what they do.

>> So what do you think?

Was there shit in our game?

>> Look, I don't know.

I mean I know that Pa-con donated something

to the campaign, contribution campaign fund

of previous mayor.

How much that was, I don't know.

>> What was the contract bond?

That's all I'm looking for is,

what's your honest feeling there?

>> I was a bit surprised at how the vote went.

How's that?

>> Da Vinci: Bit surprised?

>> Yeah.

>> Shakil: Well what does Manning want?

>> Manning wants the contract reopened.

He wants the contract back.

>> Pacific's gonna come down

with both their feet on our heads

if we try to do that.

>> Well Manning's pulling his boots on right now,

so it's one guy or this guy.

One or the other, okay,

I don't know which way to go. >> We need

some pretty hard evidence to take on Pacific.

And I would imagine if they did exert any influence,

they went through the campaign manager's office.

And we already know he committed suicide,

so he's no longer available for questioning.

>> Yeah, I'm looking for some guidance here.

I was hoping to get some advice.

What do you think?

>> These guys know how to play hardball at Pacific.

So even if we do find improprieties on their end,

they can line us up with a squad of their lawyers for years.

>> 'Kay.

>> My suggestion is we ask questions quietly.

See if Manning's got any evidence

or whether he's just blowing smoke,

trying to get some leverage.

>> That's pretty good advice.

Think we'll stick with that.

Any objections to that?

Okay, let's move this along okay?

What's the next item?

>> We've got about 50 people

occupying the old Watson department store downtown

demanding beds for the homeless.

>> I heard about that.

Now, remind me, why is it

that we can't just leave them in there?

In Watson's right now, they got a roof over their head

until we can find something else out there for them.

>> It's really not suitable for even temporary housing.

>> No?

>> Ahluwalia: There're no toilets, no running water,

but lots of rats and pigeons.

>> 'Kay, well I should make a tour.

You think that'd be a good idea?

We could get that arranged? >> Sure, yes sir.

>> All right.

>> Yeah, I can tell you exactly what happened.

One of those lunatics from the house of addicts

was attacking a dog.

He had this big blade with him,

and he was attacking the dog.

The police came, they asked him to stop,

and he turned on them.

He started hacking at them and that's when he got shot.

>> All right.

Where were you watching all this from?

>> Right here, standing right where we are now.

>> Now I got some pretty good eyesight,

and I really can't make out much all the way up there.

>> Hang on, I'll get my glasses.

>> Oh, you wear glasses?

>> No.

>> Yeah, I'm thinking this guy was being attacked

by the dog the whole time.

>> Yeah, I'm gonna ask about that again.

>> Here, have a look at those.

>> Okay.

>> Witness: They got night vision.

>> Why do you have night vision glasses?

>> Witness: I hunt.

>> Joe: What do you hunt?

>> Ducks.

>> Night vision glasses?

>> Witness: Yeah.

>> Okay, let's get back to the events.

Now you stated the man was attacking the dog.

>> Witness: Yes he was.

>> Angela: Before the police arrived.

>> Witness: Okay.

>> Angela: Yes, before the police arrived?

>> Witness: Yes.

>> Angela: How do you know the man was attacking the dog?

>> Witness: He was swinging hard at it.

The music was going, he was fighting the dog

and the police came and they pulled right up there,

pulled their guns out, and they started shooting.

They pulled out the-- >> Hey.

Got a rifle in there?

>> I hunt.

>> Step over here sir, against the wall.

>> Well he can't go in my house.

>> It's all right, just relax.

We're just gonna have a look at the gun.

Is the gun registered?

>> Huh?

>> Is it registered?

>> Not yet, no.

>> This is an assault rifle.

>> All right, hands behind your head, feet apart.

>> This is bullshit. (rifle clicking)

>> Feet apart.

>> I'm out here trying to tell you what happened.

>> I think I found them.

Claire, I think I found the missing boys.

>> Hello.

>> I think I found who the remains might be.

These couple aboriginal kids here went missing

from the Pemberton area 1993,

reported runaways, never found.

There's a rumor that they started in the sex trade maybe.

>> That doesn't sound good.

>> Mick: Gave the vice squad enough of a reason

to start investigating.

>> Where were their parents?

>> It says here that they all thought

that maybe the kids had both been murdered.

Looks like the vice cop did too.

>> Why?

>> Mick: Doesn't say, no one says.

>> What were their names?

>> Garth. Garth Morris, Dennis Clark, both 14 years old.

>> Suicide's not unheard of.

>> Yeah I guess that's always a possibility, huh?

Hey, you wanna see if you can track down this vice cop?

See if he's still on the job?

Love to get his notes.

>> They look like babies.

>> Hi.

Come with me, please.

Okay.

>> Mr. Mayor, this is Joe Friedland.

Joe's with the East End Poverty Coalition.

>> Oh great, nice to meet you Joe.

>> You too.

>> You're the man in charge here?

>> Well we're all in charge, but yeah,

you can talk to me.

>> Okay, so how many people are we talking about?

How many people need beds for the night?

>> We need about 75.

>> Okay.

Well can you start by showing me around inside?

>> Yeah, sure.

>> What else you looking for?

What can I do for you?

>> You campaigned on a promise

to end homelessness in Vancouver.

Maybe you could start with that.

>> Okay.

Can you show me around inside?

>> Right, okay.

No that's okay, we're fine.

>> You got no power in here.

>> No.

>> Do you have any running water?

>> No.

>> So no heating I guess.

>> Nope.

>> Well this is really not good enough.

>> No.

>> You know, you got no water

and you got no heat or electricity or anything.

You're actually better off in the park.

>> In the park?

That's your solution, after all the promises that you made?

>> I didn't say that, did I say that?

I didn't say that.

You're not gonna start making shit up on me are you?

I'm just saying, I came in here

to see if the situation was livable,

and I'll tell you I'm worried it's not.

>> Well neither are the streets.

Or the parks, or even some of the hotels.

We're here, right?

And this is where we're gonna stay

until you get us some help. (police siren wails)

>> Okay, I'll see what I can do.

>> What does that mean?

Are you or are you not gonna stick to your promises, huh?

Are you just gonna >> Promises?

>> put us out on the street? >> I didn't make a promise,

I just said to you I was gonna see what I can do.

>> Police wagons are here.

>> Oh, police wagons are here, okay.

(police siren wails)

>> Okay, great, yeah.

Okay, I know what happens now, yeah.

Get everybody inside. >> Just keep your,

>> Everybody inside. >> just keep it cool.

>> Friedland: Everybody get in!

>> Get the chief on the phone for me, will you?

Just...

Okay, nobody get excited okay?

Just take it easy.

Everything's under control here.

Do we really need all this? (cars honking)

>> They were parading up and down the street all morning

blocking traffic.

>> And you guys do, you guys know how to reroute traffic.

I don't see what the big deal is.

>> We responded to some complaints

by local businessmen saying that these people

were interfering with their customers

and preventing them from doing their normal business.

>> Yeah but I would've at least expected a phone call

before you start pulling all the troops.

I mean, what about that?

Why couldn't you have called? >> They're arming themselves.

Dominic, they're arming themselves

with bottles, rocks, sticks,

and they're destroying property.

You want me to sit back and let that happen?

>> I was just inside there.

I didn't see any bottles and I didn't see any rocks.

>> Well I'm relying on intelligence we received.

>> You got an operator in there?

>> No.

>> You don't.

Well what's your plan?

>> My plan is to get them to leave the building and disperse.

>> You're supposed to take that plan,

you're supposed to run that plan by the police board.

And I would've at least expected a phone call,

a heads up from you on this, Bill.

>> Dominic, it's just operations.

We get the phone call, we responded the way we normally do.

>> All right.

Look, I just need some time here to deal with this.

Can you give me 48 hours and then we can talk again?

>> Your call.

>> Yeah it is my call, I'm so glad you agree with me on that.

(car horn honks)

Okay.

Okay no one's gonna disperse anybody.

This is all gonna go away, okay?

I'm gonna find beds for whomever I can,

but you gotta keep a lid on things for 24 hours.

You gotta keep your people off the streets okay?

And I can do what I can here.

That's reasonable isn't it?

>> You send the police in, there's gonna be a battle.

>> Nobody wants a battle.

Just keep your people off the streets.

24 hours.

>> Okay.

>> Okay you got my word.

>> Friedland: Okay. >> Thank you.

Appreciate your help.

>> Thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> 24 hours, huh?

>> I hope so.

Chief says they're gonna give me 48.

Hey how you doing?

It's Dominic.

Can you meet me at my office?

I need you right away, okay?

Something's really come up.

>> Right, okay.

Thanks Maria.

(phone beeps)

Okay, here's a lowdown on the dog.

The dog at that address has been picked up twice

by the pound and it has a record of attacking people.

Two attacks.

Both of them were serious enough to require stitches.

Both attacks were on the inner thigh,

the crotch area of both victims.

>> Huh.

>> Now I just got off the horn with Maria

and she says our victim has a dog bite in the same area.

>> Ow.

So what, you think maybe the dog attacked,

this guy got the machete to defend himself?

>> I think so.

I mean, we heard about the dog barking, the yelling.

That sort of fits.

>> Okay, so he goes for a walk, the dog attacks him,

he gets his machete--

>> From the garage, yeah.

With all the other tools.

>> Comes back, goes after the dog,

that's what causes all the noise.

The police come, he's got the machete, the dog is on the run

and our victim is yelling and acting all wild.

>> Because he's been attacked by the dog.

>> But it doesn't really explain

why he's yielding the machete when the constables arrive.

>> The dog attack is just what led up to it.

>> Well so what, you wanna go talk to the guy?

Maybe pick up the dog?

>> Yeah.

Yeah, he's just over there in the basement.

Maybe wanna call the pound first?

Have them handle it?

>> Let's just check it out.

We need the pound, we'll call the pound.

>> All right.

>> Okay, the shelters are all pretty much full up tonight.

They can take maybe 10 people.

>> Maybe 10?

>> Yeah.

>> Zack McNab is here.

He says you booked a meeting.

>> Oh yeah.

Oh yeah, send him in.

Now this is a private meeting.

Trust me, you don't wanna be here for this one.

>> Okay, say no more.

>> All right.

Well I don't think anybody needs to mention this to anybody.

>> Sam: Fair enough.

>> Rita: Fine.

>> Sam: Hey Zack.

>> Hey.

Thank you.

Hey. >> There he is.

>> Nice digs eh?

>> Well yeah, I guess so.

(Zack laughs) I'm the mayor.

Thanks for dropping by, Zack.

>> Yeah, no problem.

So, what can I do for you?

>> We got a little problem.

Down at the Watson's department store.

You've seen it on the news. >> Oh yeah.

>> Well, the police,

they may have put an operator down in there

with the homeless people.

>> Yeah, it sounds like something that they might do.

>> It does, doesn't it?

>> Zack: Yep. >> Yeah.

So I want you to help me find a solution.

Can I get you anything?

>> G and T?

>> G and T.

Maybe if I was in my chair

I might be able to arrange something for you.

(Zack laughs)

It's good to see you.

>> Same to you.

>> This is what I want you to do.

>> Angela: 'Kay this might sting a bit.

>> (gasps) Ow.

>> Hey, what happened?

>> Joe had a little run-in.

>> (sighs) I shot a dog.

>> Dog asked for it, Joe.

I would've done exactly the same thing.

>> Sorry, what happened?

>> We were out trying to take a look at the dog.

It was kinda snarly so we called the pound for backup.

>> Well which dog is this?

>> The one from this morning.

>> It was on the loose.

Victim was out walking,

that's why he was carrying the machete.

He'd been attacked by the dog before.

Anyway, I'm on the phone calling for the pound

to come seize the dog,

Joe's talking with the owner,

suddenly the dog makes a run at Joe and--

>> Clears a six foot fence, goes straight for my balls,

so I get my hand down, it latches on, it won't let go.

First time I ever had to use my gun.

>> Why don't you go get some shots or something?

>> Yeah, we're just gonna write it up first.

>> You're set.

>> Thanks.

(upbeat music)

>> Those smell great.

I don't guess you got one of those for me do you?

>> Yeah, sure.

You can have a couple.

>> That's great, that's terrific.

>> Are there any beds in there?

For the night?

>> Yeah, plenty of spare mattresses.

>> That's great.

>> You want something on these?

>> Oh yeah, the works, yeah.

>> We have mustard.

>> (laughs) Okay yeah, mustard's good.

Nothing wrong with mustard.

>> Go on in, help yourself to a spot.

>> Okay, thank you.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

(upbeat music)

>> Always knew it would wind up like this.

Finding them dead one day.

>> Want another beer?

>> Sure, and I'll take a couple.

>> Two more of those, please.

>> So I spent a couple of weeks back in the early '90s

looking for these two kids.

Find out they've been working boys' town.

Been on the street for maybe a week

and then they went missing.

>> That's young to be on the street.

>> They're young fresh and pretty.

I talked to another street kid at the time

who said he knew them.

And he thought...

>> Thank you.

>> He thought maybe they found some guy, snapped them up,

kept them for himself and his friends.

>> Who's the guy?

>> He didn't know.

>> Mind if I take a look at those notes?

>> But he thought he were pretty well off,

'cause the kids come back to the hotel

loaded with cash a couple of times.

Rumor was, he'd get one of them really loaded,

then force the other kid to watch while he were gang-raped

by a group of this guy's friends.

>> Who's the source?

Can I talk to that guy?

>> Yeah, he's around.

>> Does that say what I think it says?

Oh yeah.

There's more.

(ominous music)

(knock on door)

>> Yeah?

>> You still here?

>> Da Vinci: No I'm not.

>> Do you have time for the city administrator?

>> She's here?

>> Rita: Yeah.

>> Oh, no, send her in.

>> Okay, well I'm gonna say good night if that's okay.

>> Da Vinci: Oh, thanks Rita.

I'll see you tomorrow.

>> Rita: All right.

>> Thanks for a great day.

>> Rita: Thanks.

>> Hey.

>> Da Vinci: Come on in.

>> Reach down in that drawer where you keep the good stuff.

We gotta talk.

>> We do?

>> Forsythe: Mm-hmm.

>> Just a minute.

>> Sam tells me you wanna know my thoughts

on cross-training the firemen and the police.

>> I do.

>> You really wanna take on two of the most powerful unions

in the city?

>> Well maybe, maybe not, I don't know.

What chance do I have to succeed, any?

>> Sure.

They tried this in Victoria a few years ago.

Worked like a dream.

Not saying a few trucks didn't get burned

or a few people didn't receive threats,

but eventually it worked itself out.

>> Da Vinci: Oh.

>> By the way, this is just between us.

Nobody else knows we're working on this idea?

>> No, it's just between us, nobody else.

>> Forsythe: Nobody?

Especially not the police board, not yet.

>> Nobody.

>> I don't wanna step outside and find my tires slashed.

This place leaks like a sieve.

>> So I understand.

>> Okay.

So, we cross-train the firemen,

we could effectively double the men on the street

at no extra cost.

It can be done.

We can have as many men on the street as the chief wants,

only they'll be firemen.

>> At no extra cost.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> (laughs) Why hasn't anybody done this here before?

>> Never had a mayor with a death wish before.

>> (laughs) Okay.

Tell me more.

(upbeat music)
