(rock guitar music)

>> Good evening.

>> Ed: What's goin' on?

>> We're just monitoring people using

the stroll this evening.

Any weapons in your car?

>> No, no weapons.

>> Great, then go right on through then, sir.

(raunchy music)

>> You're not gonna take my plate numbers down or anything?

>> No sir, just drive on, do what you normally do.

>> No hidden cameras?

>> No cameras, just go on.

>> Hey there, Ed.

>> This is weird.

>> Just go down the street and turn left at the corner.

>> So is this legal now or what?

>> More or less.

(raunchy music)

Just pull into one of those stalls there.

(gritty music)

* Ohhhh ohhhh

* Ohhhh ohhhh

(car engine vrooming)

>> Hello, hey there, Mr. Mayor.

>> Da Vinci: Hi.

>> Hi, this is an official visit I hope.

>> Yeah it's official.

How we goin' so far down here?

>> It's still a little slow,

but it seems to be working, you know.

There's twice as many girls out tonight.

So, word's getting out,

and I'm recognizing some of them from the low tracks.

So, the shift is starting to happen.

>> That's excellent.

>> Yeah.

>> Any problems with the local businessmen,

anybody giving you problems?

>> No, no one's here, it's all good.

>> Okay, I just wanted to pull over here for a second

and check in with the nurse, is that okay?

>> Yeah, absolutely, just go up there, park inside.

>> You're not gonna write me a ticket there, are ya?

>> Ah, no sir, not tonight. (laughs)

>> All right then. (laughs)

>> Yeah.

>> Da Vinci: So, you pretty much got

everything ya need down here?

>> Yes, actually I do.

>> That's good.

Yeah, looks great.

What about drug counseling?

Has anyone applied?

>> Yeah, I had a couple actually apply for that.

>> Really?

>> Yeah.

So what's the thing?

What's the consensus in your view?

How's it going over?

>> Well, the most common complaint is

having the police present.

The girls don't trust them

and the johns are paranoid

they're taking town plate numbers.

>> I guess it'll take a while to build up that trust.

>> Yeah, I think so.

>> Any complaints from the local neighbors about it?

>> No, not yet.

I had a couple people stop by out of curiosity,

but they seem to be okay with it.

>> No complaints?

>> Not so far.

>> Gotta love that.

>> I know (chuckles)

>> Hope it stays that way.

Okay, well thanks.

>> Thanks for stopping by.

>> I'm sure we'll see you soon.

>> Okay.

(bodies colliding) Oh, oh!

Excuse me, sorry.

>> Oh, you're the mayor.

>> I'm the mayor, Dominic.

>> Hi, I'm Elizabeth.

>> Nice to meet you, Elizabeth.

>> Yeah, you too.

>> All right, thanks again. (door latch clicking)

>> Nurse: Bye.

(shoes clacking)

>> I'm very encouraged.

This is all looking good.

I think this may even work out.

>> I think it's really wrong.

(shoes clacking)

>> You do?

Which part do you think's wrong?

>> Well, the whole thing.

I think we should be arresting people

for buying and selling sex.

>> You do?

What's that gonna do?

That's just gonna choke up the system.

Nobody's gonna get better. (car horn beeping)

Nothing's gonna change.

>> I just feel it's wrong.

>> All right, well, what do you do

about those 11 year olds

the pimps are rolling out at

that elementary school there?

What would you do there?

Just close down the school?

>> No, those people should be whipped in a public square.

(shoes clopping) >> Nice.

(background chatter)

(soft music)

>> (whispers)

Hey, how you doin'?

>> Good man, how you you doin'?

>> Listen, she's real nervous about this.

She doesn't want to lose her job.

So, I promised her a little something.

>> Okay.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

>> No problem.

>> Gloria, this is Charlie.

You want a beer or something?

>> Sure, yeah.

>> Gloria works in human resources.

>> Okay okay, I thought you looked familiar, ah.

>> So, why don't you tell Charlie

what came across your desk.

>> Well, the only reason I heard this was

because somebody obviously made a mistake, right?

>> Okay.

>> It was an email from a retired police inspector

out in Ontario, who heard we were searching

for candidates for a new chief of police

here in Vancouver, and he wondered

if we had a current address for

Management Recruiting Canada.

(bottle clopping)

>> Thanks.

Okay, who's that?

>> Oh, they're a private head-hunting company

and he heard they were handling the job.

>> Okay, so did you follow up on that or-

>> Yeah, because I thought it was

pretty interesting information.

I mean, I hadn't heard we were

looking for a new chief.

So I found the contact over there,

gave them a call and asked them

if they'd been hired to do the search for candidates.

>> And what'd they say to that?

>> Said they couldn't comment,

and they wondered how I knew they were involved.

>> Okay, so who's doing the search out here?

>> Oh yeah, one of their senior people.

Her name is Laura Thatcher.

>> Christ!

And she works for the city?

>> She has to be.

City hires the top cop, no?

>> Yeah, yeah.

Okay, well, thanks for giving me this,

and I will make sure that the chief knows you came forward.

>> Sure, good.

Was there anything you need?

>> Yeah, I have a nephew who is looking

to get on with the force and it would be

really good if his application

got moved on up the line.

>> Okay, okay, we'll make sure

he gets in for the interview.

>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> That's great.

I have to run.

I have the kids with the sitter, so-

>> Okay.

>> Thanks, Gloria.

>> You're welcome, bye.

>> Thanks.

(shoes clacking)

>> (sighs)

>> Do you know anybody over at this management company?

>> I'll look into it.

>> 'Cause I need to know who's up for the job,

all the candidates, Christ.

>> Maybe you should put your own name in.

(water splashing)

(foghorn honking)

>> Manning: Listen up, you snake-eyed bastard.

Just do what you get paid for and bury the whore.

(soft music)

>> Hey, come on in.

We're just having dinner.

Do you wanna join us?

>> I'd love to.

>> Honey, can you set another place for the table

and get the mayor a glass of wine?

>> Red wine.

>> The guy did not deliver on his promise.

So, as far as I'm concerned,

you can leave him penniless and in the street, all right?

Goodbye.

(cell phone clicking)

Dominic, welcome.

>> Thank you again.

>> How's Your Worship doing?

>> Well, not bad, starting to wind down,

but feelin' better by the minute.

>> Good, listen, I've been thinking about the race track.

>> Yeah.

>> And I've been crunching the numbers,

and I think I might be able to swing it.

>> That'd be the best news I had all day.

>> We'll get into that tomorrow.

I just want to have a little sit down-

>> Okay.

>> And talk how we might line up the vote

for the slot machines.

>> Mm hmm, we got a bit of a fight there,

but I'm confident.

>> Who's our weak link?

Who do we have to go after?

>> There's a couple o' councilors on the bubble.

>> Ahluwalia and Phillips.

>> Not bad.

(dishes clinking)

You've done your homework.

>> I love doing homework.

>> I'm going to have to ask you,

remain discreet with all this.

>> He won't even know what hit him.

>> So when can I expect a commitment from you?

>> Well, it's just gonna take a couple o' days

to wade through all the bullshit.

>> K.

>> Cheers.

>> Cheers, thanks.

(birds calling)

>> You know, the Woo's keep calling you back

about the racetrack.

>> The Woos?

Where were they last week when I needed them?

(shoes clomping)

>> So this isn't good news?

>> Well, it's not bad.

I had a very positive meeting with Manning last night.

All of a sudden, he's gung ho to buy a racetrack.

>> Yeah, well, Roger Woo wants a meeting this afternoon.

You want me to put him off?

>> Oh no no no, that's good

'cause it'll light a fire under Manning's ass, big time.

(shoes clomping)

Plus, I can get an idea about

what the Woo's attitude might be towards local hires.

>> Yeah, I guess.

Let 'em fight it out.

See who comes up with a better deal.

>> Thank you.

>> Yeah, pencil him in.

>> Okay, well, you know Roger Woo,

those casinos he owns in Macau are rumored

to have Triad connections.

>> Yeah, every time a wealthy Chinese businessman

opens up an account,

there's rumors of Triad connections there.

Let's just see him convicted of something first.

How's that? >> Okay.

I'm just making you aware.

>> Thank you.

>> Manning take you out on the yacht?

>> Yeah, have you seen that thing?

>> Yeah, it's hard to miss.

>> 22,000 bucks to fill it up.

>> You should be looking for a domestic white sedan

as our shooter vehicle.

>> Yeah, I got that here too, white sedan.

>> Okay, so what do we got?

We got two drive-by's three blocks apart,

both targeting the same type o' truck.

>> Yeah, well, this is starting to look more and more

like a case of mistaken identity to me.

I mean, the victim in this block

was just an English teacher, no enemies.

>> Yeah, I didn't get much of a picture

on the second victim, Vijay Kumar.

Nobody seemed to know him all that well.

>> I thought the truck was registered to Santosh Kumar.

>> The neighbors kept referring to him as Vijay.

>> Vijay Kumar, you know, there's a cop named Vijay Kumar.

>> You know, one of the neighbors mentioned that.

They thought he might've been a cop,

but they weren't positive.

>> Yeah, his name kept comin' up in internal.

I wonder if it's the same guy.

He's a constable.

I just remember he had some kind o' cloud hanging over.

We never found anything though.

(car door opening)

>> Then I guess that could happen in internal.

Somebody gets smeared (phone ringing)

'cause of their associations.

Kosmo, okay.

Yeah. (car door slamming)

I'll check it out.

We got a dumped white sedan stolen from New West.

(cabinet door closing)

(papers shuffling)

>> Excuse me.

>> Hey.

>> I found that radio host you were looking for.

>> Oh, you did?

Good, who is it?

>> Anthony Matola.

>> Anthony Matola?

I remember him.

>> Yeah, me too.

He was charged with statutory rape

of a 14-year-old boy in '89, but it never went to trial.

>> Never went to trial.

>> Here's the article.

>> Okay.

>> He went off the air after the scandal.

>> Mm hmm, did you get a number for him

or an address or anything?

>> Yeah, I tracked him down, sort of.

He's in the current phone book still,

but the number's disconnected.

>> Hm, okay.

>> We have 250 emails this morning

protesting the red light zone.

>> Did you ever find out who's on

that neighborhood committee whose behind all that?

>> Yeah, the Chair of the committee is a Mina Basra.

>> Who?

>> She owns a property in the block down by the stroll.

She runs a small real estate business, Basra Realty.

>> Oh, she has a realty thing?

Okay, what's her argument?

>> The prostitutes and dealers grouping into the area is

affecting property values.

>> That's a joke.

Property values?

Anybody who's sitting on property

in the city of Vancouver has seen their values

go right through the roof.

Plus, we're giving them a mother of a tax break down there.

Who else is complaining?

>> Some businesses up on Broadway.

They're saying that once the prostitutes are ensconced,

then come the dealers, the squeegee kids, the panhandlers.

>> Broadway?

How do they figure that?

That's six blocks south of there.

Half those businesses, they close

at 6 o'clock in the evening.

Next?

>> And then, we've got a few from

a couple of church congregations

who are suggesting that you're working

hand-in-hand with the devil.

>> I'm what?

>> The parishioners are complaining

that they have to drive through there

with their friends and families on their way to church.

>> Well, you'd really have to go out of your way

to go through there on your way

to any kind of services I've ever heard about.

There's not even a church within a mile o' there.

And who goes to church after 9 o'clock?

>> They're up in arms and they're writing letters.

>> (sighs) It's all gonna die down, don't worry.

>> I don't think so.

We had 50 phone calls and 75 emails yesterday

and it's doubled today.

>> It's all gonna go away. (shoes clomping)

What's happening, Sam?

>> Gail Greenwood's here for her interview.

>> Okay, you wanna ask Julia if she might want to attend?

I know what we do.

We should get hold of that woman down there,

I can't remember her name, on Gore Street, the minister,

and see if she might write a piece, you know,

how much we need the stroll and all that shit.

>> I'll give her a shout.

>> That should put an end to that.

(birds chirping)

(car horns honking)

>> Hey, I'm gonna ride with Barb for a couple hours.

Is that okay with you?

>> Yeah, okay with me.

>> I just wanna talk to her a bit.

Her confidence needs a little bump.

>> She's straight.

You know that, right?

>> I'm not gonna hit on her.

Come on, give me a break.

I think I'm offended. (laughs)

(car door slamming)

>> She's just gonna break your heart.

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

>> Can I just start by apologizing right away

for having to bring you

in the back way like this?

>> (chuckles) I'm used to it.

>> Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Can we get you anything?

A coffee?

>> Water would be fine.

>> All right.

We gotta make sure

that nobody knows we're even talking here.

This has gotta stay right under the rug eh?

>> Well, it's a sensitive issue, I understand.

>> Yeah, we're feelin' that too.

I know everybody's got about

a million questions for you, so-

>> Well, you had a small division

of cross-trained personnel (water pouring)

when you started, is that correct?

>> Right, they were trained to perform

both police and firefighting work.

We put them in the number one division downtown.

So they saw a lot of action.

>> Okay, and whose command were they under?

Well, when it was police work, the police administrator.

When it was firefighting,

they were supervised by the fire chief.

>> What about the costs?

Did it end up saving any money

or did the savings go to the training costs?

>> The savings are usually future savings.

So instead of, for example, hiring 20 new police

and 20 new firefighters,

we hired 30 cross-trained personnel.

So the longterm savings to the city are substantial.

>> Christ, so you put them down there in the number one area.

That's kinda high profile, that's good.

(door latch clicking)

>> Gail Greenwood, that ring a bell?

>> Sure, she's been chief over in Victoria

for a couple o' years, why?

>> She was just in to see Da Vinci at City Hall.

>> She's a candidate.

>> She's a candidate.

>> Jesus, it's almost insulting.

>> Yeah, I'm diggin' up dirt on her.

She shouldn't be much of a threat.

>> I'm not even gonna to ask

how you found out about that meeting.

>> You read your emails this morning?

>> A lotta complaints about the red light zone.

That's shaping up nicely.

>> Yeah, and we got a couple o' things

we're working on to escalate that.

>> I think it's time that we

increase our presence down there.

>> Yeah, we could start heating that up a little too.

>> So where are we with my performance review?

>> Well, the main concerns are the budget overruns

and the negative press.

Now, Earl Sweeney, at the union,

says morale's pretty good.

You got good support.

The boys like it when you go on the offensive in the press,

but I don't think it plays well anywhere else.

>> We should make the rounds,

drop in on a few roll calls,

start pressing the flesh a little.

>> Yeah, it wouldn't hurt.

(shoes clopping)

>> What about this homeless squat?

That was embarrassing.

You wanna tell me what the hell happened there?

>> Well, they got lucky.

We'll be better prepared next time.

>> That shoulda been a rout.

>> Hey, Jason.

>> Dominic.

>> Hey, I was just hearing from Rita

about this badass boyfriend o' yours

in one of the fire halls.

>> At the Downtown West fire hall.

>> That one.

>> Actually, he was bragging the other night

about how many grow ops they've been busting lately.

>> Oh, yeah, that's it.

Now, how's that work?

>> Well, they get a jingle from the cops

about a certain house that has suspicious activities.

>> Okay.

>> They use the Freedom of Information Act

to request power usage records from Hydro.

>> Good, who thought this up?

>> Then they go over to the house for a safety inspection.

If nobody's home, which is the usual situation,

then they leave a notice on the door

saying they'll be back in 48 hours.

>> See, and by the time they get back, the house is empty.

>> High and dry.

>> And they've had huge success with it.

Shut down a couple o' dozen houses this month doing it.

>> Have they?

You see what I'm talkin' about now?

Police and fire working together.

(car engine vrooming)

You gotta get physical with people.

Assertive, get right in their face.

Let 'em know you're gonna kick their ass

if they give you any bullshit, you know.

They try to put over all kinds o' shit on us.

Shit they'd never try with a guy.

So when they do, they gotta walk away

with a new sense of respect.

I guess that's just a long-winded way

of saying, you gotta start kickin' ass and takin' names.

>> Yeah, I'm been watching you.

Tryin' to pick up the tricks.

I'm ready.

>> Yeah, you think?

>> Let me go point and then, I'll show ya.

>> Maybe, we'll see how you do.

Anyway, I'm mentioning the move up now.

I want to take my sergeant's exam.

That's why these grow busts are

so important to me, you know.

You gotta make a name, get the credit,

make the brass aware.

Otherwise, you just get passed over.

>> We kept hearing rumors about all the grow-houses

in the district and the community.

>> Right.

>> And they were getting worried

about their houses catching fire

if one of the ops went up.

>> So you just go on in under suspicion.

>> Yeah, the high power consumption gives us the excuse

and then, we gotta investigate any potential hazards.

>> Then they get a note from you

and they just completely panic.

>> Exactly.

>> That's good.

>> Let me introduce you to the guys.

>> Hey thanks, thanks.

>> Gentlemen, the mayor just wanted

to stop by and say a few words.

>> Yeah, thanks very much.

I just really wanted to come by today

and let you guys know

how much your efforts are being appreciated.

I think that you and your members

have really stumbled onto something here

in your approach to the grow-ops,

and I think it's important that you guys know

that you have 100% backing from me.

And if there's anything, anything at all

that you might need,

please do not hesitate to call either myself

or anybody on my staff

'cause we're there for ya.

We really appreciate it.

Thanks very much indeed.

All right.

>> Excuse me, Mr. Mayor, before you go,

you might have heard that we're hosting

a police and fire games this year,

and we were wondering if you might be able

to let us know whether or not

we'll be getting a grant from the city

to help cover the expenses.

>> Well, I'd better get a look at the business plan.

Then, I can let you know something pretty concrete, okay?

>> 'Cause we heard that you didn't want

to back up the games.

>> I don't know where you heard that.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

Just Let me get a look at that plan, okay?

>> Okay.

>> Thanks for inviting me over here today.

Hey again, thanks a lot, guys.

>> Woman: Anthony died a month ago.

>> Leary: Oh.

>> Woman: What's this about?

>> Well, I just had some questions

regarding an investigation, but I apologize.

I had no idea he had passed away.

>> What kind of investigation?

>> I'm just looking into the death

of a couple of Aboriginal boys

who went missing over 10 years ago.

>> What's my husband got to do with that?

>> Well, his name's come up a couple o' times

for possibly being in contact with them before their deaths.

>> Oh, I doubt that.

What happened to these boys?

>> We've only just recently discovered their remains.

>> Well, I don't think my husband was

ever in contact with any Indian boys.

Who told you that?

>> This is a little awkward, but your husband,

he was charged with a sexual offense

back in 1989 though, isn't that right?

>> Oh, those charges were dropped.

It was my nephew.

He made up a story about Anthony

because he was angry with us.

>> Oh, so it was just a false accusation then?

>> That's right.

You can ask him about it now.

He's very sorry about the whole thing.

>> Okay.

>> And if there are still rumors going around

about my husband, it's probably thanks to that.

>> Okay.

>> Oh, the slots down at the racetrack.

There's still a question mark there, right?

>> Yes, I'm aware of the situation.

>> Okay, so this is more really

about your operation being a good fit,

not just with the racetrack,

but with the city of Vancouver.

>> I believe our gaming history in this country

speaks for itself, don't you think?

What, is there a problem?

>> No, all I meant to say was that

I just don't see Council supporting

any bid to buy that racetrack

that's not gonna include some kind

of a guarantee for us about the jobs down there,

'cause if I don't keep the jobs down there,

I'm not doin' my job.

>> Of course, if anything, we're planning

on increasing the jobs by as much as 50%.

>> That's good, but in addition to the dealers

and the cocktail waitresses and all that,

what about the local races?

That's what I want to hear.

>> They're a big expenditure,

but they'll certainly be covered by slot profits.

>> But, the slots are not a guaranteed item.

>> (chuckles) we're aware.

>> Okay, so as long as you're aware.

Niagara Entertainment, don't they-

They have other offers on the table, don't they?

>> You mean Lloyd Manning?

>> Sure, Lloyd Manning.

>> I'm confident Niagara will be pleased with our offer.

We've got the advantage of gaming experience.

I think we'll come up the front runner.

>> Well, hope it all works out.

I'm very confident it will.

(metal banging)

(machine whirring)

>> I got a scrap of paper here, G-A-W-6-8-4.

That one of our black trucks?

>> Yeah, that's our second guy, Vijay Kumar.

>> So they were looking for him and his black truck.

And another brown-skin guy goes by in an identical truck.

>> Got that shell casing there?

>> Yeah, I see that.

You know what? (cell phone ringing)

I'm just gonna back up and get this thing towed

to the forensic garage.

>> Finn: Yeah, this is Finn.

>> How'd this car get here?

>> It was towed from an underground parking lot.

The owner just reported it stolen.

>> Okay, you wanna make the call,

have this towed to our garage?

>> Sure.

(police radio beeping) Thanks.

(metal clinking)

>> Just got confirmation.

Our guy, Vijay Kumar, was a member,

but he got canned last year.

>> They say why?

>> No, but I can make a call to internal and find out.

>> Once internal, always internal.

>> You know what, let's get into this.

What is your bitch?

>> You went out o' your way

to try and get me shit-canned, Joe.

>> I was doin' my job.

I didn't pick your name out of a hat.

I was ordered to investigate.

I went where it took me.

>> All right, just say you were wrong about me

and I'll let it go.

>> I was wrong.

>> The next time you talk to somebody from internal,

will you make sure you tell them that?

(background shouting)

(quiet piano music)

>> Aw shit.

(bicycle pedals clanking)

(dramatic orchestra music)

(bicycle wheels banging)

(wheels squealing)

>> Officer: Get off the bike.

Get off the bike!

(hand smacking)

(metal bar clanking)

(bicycle crashing)

>> Ooh!

(wheels squealing)

>> Get on the ground!

Yeah!

>> (moans)

(handcuff lock clicking)

>> Mr. Mayor?

>> Hi, how ya doin'?

>> Take this home with you, give it a look.

>> I got a lot o' reading to do.

Can you give me the highlights here?

>> It's just the numbers, rough ballpark

for the training and first-year costs

of an elite cross-trained unit.

>> Okay, the elite unit, yeah.

>> All of which will be recovered

in the first five years.

>> Geez.

>> Plus, we won't need anywhere near

the number of new hires down the road.

>> Gotta love that.

(shoes clacking)

(walk signal beeping)

(car engines vrooming)

>> Chief says you gotta stop.

>> Really?

>> Mm hmm.

>> The mayor says he thinks we're doin' a good job.

>> Yeah, where'd you hear that?

>> He came by himself to give us the A-OK.

>> So, who's giving the tip-offs on our end?

>> What do you mean?

>> Look, you know, if you got somebody

from the Narc Squad tipping you to these grows,

I wanna know who it is.

>> No no, it's the community.

They're comin' directly to us.

>> Yeah, well, next time somebody from the community

tips you off, tell 'em that you don't handle

those kind o' calls and they should call us.

>> You want an answering service, get one.

We don't work under your direction.

>> Okay, fine, you know what?

You can expect a call from Chief Jacobs.

>> Yeah, fine, call him up.

I'll tell him the same thing I just told you.

(walk sign beeping)

If the mayor wants us to keep doing this,

we're gonna keep on doin' it.

>> Yeah, you keep on doing it,

and the next thing you know,

the mayor's gonna be talkin' cross training,

and you and I, we're gonna be workin' hand-in-hand

whether you like it or not.

>> Okay, just so I'm clear on what you're saying.

I should let everyone in my community know

the chief's not interested in closing down the grow-ops.

>> Expect a call.

>> Anytime.

(car engine vrooming)

>> It's Zack for the mayor, I'm returning his call.

>> Yes, sir.

How ya doin' down there?

>> Yeah, we're not too shit-hot rosy.

I tried gettin' you on the horn

to call off the dogs, but you weren't answering.

>> You shoulda tried my pager.

>> Yeah, well, I tried your goddamned pager.

Couldn't get ya and the flyin' squad

kicked the shit out of us the other night.

>> They did what?

Geez, this is the first time hearing about that, Zack.

I'm sorry, geez I apologize.

I'll talk to Bill.

>> Well, they locked up Friedland.

They took him down when I wasn't around,

laid a beatin' on him.

I'm just waitin' for him to get released.

>> Oh shit, I'm sorry.

I didn't know about any o' this.

Look, I'll look into it, Zack.

I'll talk to Bill.

Anyway, nice job down there,

good job movin' 'em to the port, beautiful.

>> Yeah yeah, well, okay, you know,

how long are we down there, you know?

For the long haul or what?

>> Uh, not really sure, Zack, why?

>> Well, you know, I gotta decide

if I need to get a waterline running there,

and put in some washtubs.

I gotta order jiffy cans, barbecue pits.

It takes a lotta organization, okay?

>> Are you runnin' things down there, Zack,

because that's not good.

That's what it's sounding like to me.

You can't be runnin' things down there.

You can't be in charge.

If this ever came out, it wouldn't look good at all.

So, I think you gotta get outta there, okay?

If we need somebody- >> Yeah, no worries.

>> down there down the road, we'll put somebody else in,

but you're >> Sure, well, just tell her

>> You gotta get outta there. >> that I'll call

her back, okay?

(phone receiver slamming)

(phone dial tone humming)

So, how ya feelin'?

>> Oh, I'm all right.

He thumped me pretty good in the elevator though.

>> You need to go see a doctor or anything?

>> Nah, I'm all right.

I just got a sprained wrist and some bruised ribs, I'm okay.

>> Did you get any badge numbers off those guys?

>> Nah, let's get down to the tent, see what's goin' on.

>> You ought to file a complaint, okay?

I mean, this is bullshit.

They can't just beat you up 'cause they feel like it.

>> Really, no, it's not a big deal, it's okay.

Thanks, by the way, for takin' over.

I heard things went really well.

>> Aw you no, got everybody outta there.

Got 'em down to the park.

There's a couple o' people took it on the chin.

>> Joe: Got a couple o' things.

I need to ask you a favor.

>> Yeah?

>> I want you to clean something up for me.

>> Yeah, what?

>> Angie Kosmo, I just want her file closed.

>> Kosmo, isn't that the last investigation

you ran for internal?

>> Yeah, I just want her file closed.

>> Yeah, well, I can't do that.

>> (laughs) Oh yeah, you can.

You owe me and you will.

>> Whoa, you got something going on with her?

>> Yeah, we're gettin' married.

You're my best man and we need a toast.

Listen, I wanted to talk to you about this cop.

Remember Vijay Kumar?

>> Pretty bad associations.

He was on everybody's watch list for a while.

You remember, you and I were on him

for a while back in '98.

>> Yeah, but, the way I remember it is

we only flagged him because of who he associated with.

>> It was a scary bunch o' guys,

Sikhs with a whole lotta bodies attributed to 'em.

And he grew up with most o' those guys.

>> Come on, you can't control who you grew up with.

>> So the point is, I remember thinkin',

maybe internal shouldn't have been making him

feel so paranoid. (car alarm tweets)

We should use him to get to those guys.

I mean, having a member with access like that,

that's a real gift.

>> Yeah, in a perfect world.

>> So why'd they finally can him?

>> They're pretty certain that he was leaking

police info to the bad guys.

>> Yeah, but he denied all that.

>> Yeah, in his defense, he claimed

that he was hanging with those guys,

running his own undercover investigation

on behalf of the department.

>> Without approval?

>> Yeah, so either way, he was gone.

(motorcycle engine whizzing)

>> I think you should write a memo.

Have the sergeants read it out at roll call.

Anybody gets a request to accompany firemen

on any of these visits to a grow-op,

they're gonna say they can't take the call.

>> What if we just work the inside a little?

Spread the word that this is the first stage

of the mayor's cross-training program,

let everybody start thinking

he's gonna consolidate fire and police.

It's gonna mean a heavier workload for everybody,

firefighters and police.

>> It's like he's asking one man to do two jobs.

>> That's good, one man, two jobs.

(newspaper swatting)

Call Buddy at the union, start spreadin' the word.

>> Okay.

>> One man can't do two jobs.

>> Where'd that bullshit come from?

>> Sergeant Klotchko stopped by to visit Komori.

>> Oh?

>> They had words.

The next thing he knows,

Komori's got his shop steward in his office,

saying one man can't do two jobs.

>> And the Chief wrote a memo to that effect?

>> The morning shift was told not

to respond to calls from any fire hall

going out on a grow-op call.

>> The chiefs instructed the force

not to respond to a request from the fire hall.

That's beautiful.

Wonder if you can get me a copy of that memo.

Maybe I can bring that up at the next Police Board meeting

and have that read into the record.

>> I'll see what I can do.

(shoes clacking)

>> Hi, can I help you?

>> The coroner, a Mr. Leary, was at my house yesterday

asking questions about my father.

>> Right, you called, it's Dominique?

>> Yeah.

>> He's just on a phone call right now.

If you don't mind waiting a few minutes,

I'll let him know you're here.

>> Okay, thank you.

(door latch clicking)

(shoes clacking)

(door closing)

(muffled chatter)

(traffic vrooming)

>> Mr. Mayor.

>> Oh, there you are.

>> Ice coffee please.

You're a shit disturber, you know that?

I don't know if I should be hangin' out with you.

(cups tinkling)

>> Probably not a good idea.

>> Yeah, a couple hours after we met,

I get a visit from the chief's second, Sergeant Klotchko.

>> Yeah, I heard.

>> Oh, well not long after that,

I got a visit from my shop steward.

He's got his shorts all in a knot

about this being the leading edge

of your cross-training program.

Is that true?

>> Did I come up with this idea

about busting grow-ops with safety regulations?

No.

>> So you're not planning a cross-training program.

>> No.

>> Oh, that's too bad.

>> I might be persuaded.

>> Yeah, right, you're full o' shit.

You had that chief from Esquimalt in for an interview.

She's all over cross-training.

>> Where the hell did you hear about that?

>> Shop steward.

You want to be careful.

People don't know who you're talking to.

>> Male: Thank you.

>> That's why we're havin' coffee over here.

Now look, was it you that came up with this idea

about busting the grows with the safety regs?

>> I heard they tried it in Richmond a couple times.

>> Yeah?

>> Until they got shut down by the City Council.

>> It's a good idea.

>> Yeah.

>> I just want to know if you wanted

to spearhead that idea out there, would you?

>> Oh, I'm fine with it

except now, the cops got orders not to back us up,

which means we're going in undefended.

>> Okay, I'll worry about the cops?

But I want to see this happening

in any number of fire halls out there.

I'm serious, you go out there

and you tell the other fire captains,

start using that same tactic.

And if they got any problems with it,

you just give 'em my number.

>> All right.

>> All right, fantastic.

>> This is gonna be interesting.

>> Oh yeah.

>> We've got a bit of a communications leak somewhere

and I need your help in plugging it.

>> What sort of a leak?

>> Well, someone's been tipping

the fire halls about grow-ops.

The firemen have been goin' out

on their own getting warrants,

posting notices on the houses.

>> I heard that's been pretty effective.

>> Firemen aren't armed.

They're not trained for armed confrontation.

>> Right, but I think we've been giving them backup.

They've got constables along when they post the notices.

>> I'd like you to let your division know

that they're no longer to inform

the fire department about the grow-ops.

>> Yes, sir, I'll put the official word out.

>> No need to make it official.

Just a word in the right places.

Thanks for comin' in.

>> Yeah.

>> It's good to see ya. (hand patting)

How's that family doin'?

(door latch clicking) >> Good, yeah, yeah.

Thanks for asking.

(shoes clacking)

(door creaking)

(door latch clicking)

>> Not sure about that one.

You never know whose side he's on.

>> Be good to take down a couple o' those grow-ops ourselves.

Take a little o' that ground back, yeah?

>> Yes, sir.

>> You can probably tell, but my mother has

some pretty intense denial issues.

(eerie music)

>> How do you mean?

>> It's just easier for everybody

if she believes what she wants to believe.

>> Sure, it's understandable.

>> Anyway, I was cleaning out my dad's office.

I kept these hidden from my mother.

(box rustling)

I don't know if it has anything to do

with what you're investigating.

I couldn't really look at them.

(box sliding)

>> Oh, that's fine.

(telephone ringing)

Thanks for bringin' this to me.

>> I didn't want to leave them in my mother's house,

but I couldn't bear to throw them out. (sobs)

I'm sorry, do you have a tissue or something?

>> Yeah, Claire.

Claire!

>> Yeah. (shoes clacking)

>> A tissue.

>> Sure.

>> I'm sorry, I'm just gonna go.

I'll leave those with you.

Thank you.

>> There's no hurry.

Thank you.

Maybe, maybe we could just take a little bit o' time here,

and talk about your father a little bit.

>> God, okay, I suppose it's about time.

(background chatter)

(TV chatter)

(chair clunking)

>> Okay, so?

>> I got the call.

>> What'd you hear?

>> No more calls to the fire department.

>> Who was at that meeting?

>> Jacobs, Klotchko.

(newspaper plopping)

>> How'd the guys take it?

>> It's bullshit.

They see it for what it is.

They were happy to have the firemen doing half their work.

At least, we were seeing results.

All it's gonna take is one fire at a grow.

Holy shit, it's gonna be an issue all over again.

>> I'm not asking, but it'd be nice to see

the channels opened up and information still flow.

>> I'm not going to countermand the chief's request.

He's got the department wired.

He'd just love a chance to bounce me.

We don't see eye-to-eye on

how the drug squad should operate.

>> Difference of opinion?

>> I'm tryin' to build conspiracy cases.

He's tellin' me to pull back on undercover ops

because they're way expensive.

So, it's back to the old days, buy and bust bullshit.

Anyway, most of my people are full on

behind the fire department bouncing the grows.

>> Okay.

>> I gotta go, take it easy, eh?

>> Hang on, hang on.

Are you saying that the chief wants to cut back

on UC ops because of budget?

>> We got the memo last week.

>> Could you fire that over to me?

>> Yeah, sure.

(shoes clacking)

(TV crowd cheering)

(car horn honking)

>> Ferris, you up for some action tomorrow?

>> Always, what's up?

>> I got a mandate comin' down

to hit hard and fast on the grow-ops.

>> About time, gimme something sweet.

>> We got a big one on Bellevue Drive.

Narc squad's had it on their radar for quite some time.

Chief's finally given the go-ahead for us to take it down.

Now, there's a lot of surveillance, but it's unmanned.

>> Beautiful.

>> I'm gonna give you a couple o' cars to back you up.

>> Why?

My usual team can handle it.

>> I said I'm gonna give you a couple o' cars to back you up.

>> You just said the place is unmanned.

Come on, we don't need backup.

Don't be a pussy.

>> The chief wants to make a big deal out of this.

Make a good show.

Now you girls are on the point.

Just take the backup, will ya?

And there's gonna be some press on this.

We don't want anything going sideways, you got it?

(motorcycle engine whirring)

>> Yes, sir.

(weird, spooky music)

(background chatter)

(fire crackling)

>> Male: Whoo!

>> Excuse me.

Hey!

>> Oh, hey Zack.

Hey, you know what?

This is really great out here.

This is a really good idea.

Look at this, we got an ocean view.

We got cold running water.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm having a little trouble with some,

some of those people are gettin' real rowdy.

>> Well, they're just havin' a relax, you know,

a little wind down, don't worry about it.

>> I was thinkin' somebody has to keep an eye on 'em

while I'm over in Victoria.

>> Sure, when's that?

>> Uh, next couple days.

Gonna do the same thing over there.

Gonna set up on the lawn of the Legislature.

(water splashing) >> (laughs)

Well, that's nice, they can kick

the shit out o' you over there too, huh?

>> Yeah, listen, I'm gonna be goin' over there

for a couple o' days.

Would you mind lookin' after things here while I'm gone?

>> Ah, sure, it's okay.

>> Just keep things rolling and I won't be gone long.

>> Sure, okay.

How's your wrist, you healin' up?

>> Oh yeah, I'll be fine.

Listen, I'll be back in a minute.

>> Sure.

(background chatter)

>> Hey man.

>> Hey.

>> You got some smokes?

>> Yeah, tobacco.

>> So, you in charge here now or what?

>> Well, yeah, for the next couple o' days, it looks like.

>> You got any papers?

>> Oh, yeah, they're in the pouch here.

>> So, you from out here?

>> Yeah.

>> How long is the boss gonna be gone for?

>> Oh, a couple o' days, yeah.

>> Must be goin' home to a nice, soft bed,

and a nice, hot shower.

>> Think so, huh?

>> Yeah, probably.

(paper crinkling)

(car engine vrooming)

(motorcycle engine rumbling)

(shoes clacking)

>> Hey.

>> Hey!

You wanna help me eat some o' this.

I ordered too much.

>> Sure, I could use a bite.

What's this?

>> Kung Pao chicken.

It's spicy, you'll like it.

So how we doin'?

>> Ah, some of the guys are muttering

about how the firefighters are cuttin' our grass.

>> They are cuttin' our grass.

>> Well, it's effective.

They're shutting down the grows

for probably half the cost of when we do it.

>> You know, you better not let anybody

hear you say that or some election time,

you're out on your ass.

Jesus, hope I'm talkin' to the right guy here.

>> Yeah yeah, relax.

I'm just lettin' you know

that we're gonna have to face the reality

of either downsizing the force or losing our programs

somewhere down the line. (fridge door closing)

Cross-training's gonna be part of the picture eventually.

>> Yeah, well, eventually's not now,

(beer bottles clinking)

not this year or the next couple after that.

(beer cap hissing)

I'm not gonna be the guy to screw the troops.

You're makin' me nervous here.

We need to fire everybody up,

make 'em aware that cross-training's

on the mayor's agenda and that is

gonna cost you guys and us jobs, period.

One man can't do two jobs.

>> Yeah yeah yeah, okay okay, I'm on board.

I'm just letting you know that

some of the young guys comin' up

don't think it's such a bad way to go.

(shoes clopping)

They're kinda excited about this idea of

elite cross-training units Da Vinci's floating.

>> What elite unit?

>> Yeah, it's in the works.

It's unofficial, but I heard about it.

>> You got a guy next to the mayor?

(mouth smacking)

Fine fine, hey, so listen,

a couple years from now,

I'm gonna take a run at the chief's job.

I'm gonna need a good second.

You got any interest there?

>> Yeah, sure, toss my hat in there.

I'm still not gonna tell you my sources.

>> Fine, I don't wanna know.

So when's this elite unit gonna be announced?

>> It's in the works.

>> It's in the works.

(beer gurgling)

(birds chirping)

(boots clomping)

(walkie beeping)

>> We're just about set.

>> Copy, we're good to go.

(walkie hissing)

(whispers) Hey.

(metal clanging)

>> Okay, guys, hang tight for our cue.

(walkie hissing)

(banging)

>> Was that them?

>> Was that you guys?

>> Go go!

(battering ram smashing)

(feet running)

(voices moaning and huffing)

(shoes clopping)

>> Officer: Clear here clear here.

(door banging)

(door banging)

>> Aim for the door.

(feet descending)

(police radio chatter)

>> Officer: Back room's clear.

(dramatic music)

>> Hey.

>> Merry Christmas, ladies.

>> Jesus.

(shoes clomping)

>> Don't touch that, what the hell are you doing?

Let's try and make this place secure

before you start touching everything.

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> And next time, listen to the goddamned radio for orders

before you try an entry.

(police radio chatter)

>> Your son Vijay was working with you

here at the hardware store?

>> Mr. Kumar: Yes, since last year.

>> Okay, and before that, he was a police officer.

>> That's right.

He left the force to come work with me.

>> We understand he was let go by the police department.

Do you know anything about that?

>> He told me he wanted to quit

because you're always investigating him.

Thought he was mixed up with the gangs.

>> Any truth to that?

>> Of course not.

>> When was the last time you saw him?

>> Here at the store the day before he was killed.

>> And he seemed fine to you then?

He didn't mention anything out of the ordinary?

>> No, he was fine, of course.

Is it true what the papers are saying?

Somebody else was also killed driving the same truck?

>> That is true, yes.

>> So maybe this is a case of mistaken identity.

>> Anything is possible, sir.

We haven't ruled that out yet.

(horse neighing)

>> Thanks a lot, guys.

Good to meet ya, place looks great.

>> It's a done deal.

You bought yourself a racetrack.

>> It's a done deal.

>> Can you believe it?

>> (laughs)

>> I'm sure you're happy, thank you.

>> I'm flying off to Toronto later on this afternoon

to finalize everything with Niagara.

>> Are ya?

What about the Woos?

Did they take a run at ya in the end

or what happened there?

>> The Woos, hardly.

>> No, they pulled out?

>> Well, they sniffed around just long enough

to start driving the price up,

but they dropped it pretty quick.

>> I guess, nothin' you couldn't handle.

>> Aw, not even close.

They're a couple o' gangsters.

They should stick to their casinos. (laughs)

>> All right.

>> Anyway, where are we at with our Councilmen?

Have you shoved them off the bench yet or what?

>> Councilmen?

(horse nickering)

A bit more work needs to be done there.

>> All right.

Well, let's get at it.

Glass of champagne?

>> Champagne at 10 o'clock in the a.m.?

I don't think so.

It's too early even for me.

>> Suit yourself.

>> Okay.

>> Listen, anything you want, you name it.

>> I just want this place to be run successfully.

Just no bullshit.

It's gotta be run right in every aspect.

This can't just turn into an excuse

to have a casino eh?

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, those jobs back here,

they gotta stay back here or I'm done.

>> They will.

>> That's the deal I need.

>> That's the deal you got.

>> Oh, beautiful, I'm gonna hold you to it.

>> Tell me if I'm wrong, but that's Cody Bell, right?

>> Jorge: Yep, Cody Bell.

>> Now, he stepped in front of a car,

but it was written up as an accident.

>> Okay, so what do you want me to do with this?

>> Well, it seems to me that there's

some pretty good evidence here

of an organized pedophile ring, right?

I mean look, there's gotta be over 20 boys in here.

And they look to be all sittin' in the same room,

same kind of-

>> Yeah, but this room could be in Copenhagen

for all you know.

>> Yeah, but, can't you check the archives?

I mean, isn't there any way

of cross-checking any seized kiddy porn?

See if it matches up with this series here?

>> I still don't see anything relating

to their disappearance.

>> Well, I think it's worth pursuing.

>> Okay, what I can do is have our forensics guy

take a look at those pictures,

and maybe, he can place the room.

>> Yeah, good, and the kids too.

You know, I'm gonna copy out all my kids' files

and then, see if we come up with any matches

besides Cody Bell.

>> Okay.

>> Okay, thanks Jorge

(shoes clopping)

(siren wailing)

>> Excuse me.

You Kosmo?

>> Yeah.

>> Judy Roemer, I'm with the organized crime unit.

>> Hey Judy.

>> You worked on those drive-by's?

>> Yeah, we are, he's Joe Finn.

>> Vijay Kumar and I went to the Academy together years ago.

>> Oh yeah?

>> Yeah, anyway, about a month ago,

he came to me trying to load a bunch of information

he said he had on the Indo gangs.

>> Really, like what?

>> Names, addresses, stuff like that.

>> Was any of it good information?

>> Yeah, it was gold.

This stuff was stronger than any snitches

we ever had in the Indo world.

>> Really?

And why did he come out with all this all of a sudden?

>> Well, he was canned from the department

because they thought he was

leaking information to the Indos,

but I got the impression that he was

trying to clear his name.

>> Hm.

>> Does anybody else know you were talkin' to him?

>> Just me.

It was always off the books with me and him.

>> Okay, I think that's what I need to know.

>> No problem, guys.

>> Appreciate it, thank you.

(camera shutters snapping)

>> So in addition to the marijuana plants seized,

officers on the scene discovered

a stockpile of weapons including automatic handguns,

assault rifles and several grenades.

>> What kind o' charges are gonna

be stemming from this?

>> Well, for now, we can just say

that this seizure is part of

an ongoing investigation into a major criminal organization,

but I can tell you that this raid is

a huge blow to that organization

and you will be seeing a lot o' dominoes

falling in the near future.

(camera shutters clicking)

>> Can we get a comment from you two?

>> Yes, I'd like to take this opportunity

to recognize the outstanding effort of our officers

whose training and dedication to the job

was instrumental in this being

a safe and successful operation

despite our manpower shortage.

I'd also like to take this opportunity

to recognize our intelligence section

who, despite being underfunded

continue to supply us with accurate intel.

Thanks to them, this neighborhood

just got a whole lot safer.

Thank you very much.

>> All right, folks, that's all.

Thanks very much.

Thanks a lot.

>> Let me just take this opportunity to recognize
