[dramatic music]

[singing in foreign language]

[woman sobbing]

[man pounding]
>> Carmen!

Open the door!

Carmen!

[Carmen sobbing]

Carmen open the door!

Carmen!

[Carmen sobbing]

[horns blaring]

Open the door!

Come on, Carmen!

Carmen!

Carmen!

>> So I got my own two
kids, plus her two.

That's four kids in the
house all of a sudden.

She's on strike, I'm
working extra shifts

just to keep the
refrigerator half full.

>> She's a teacher?

>> Yeah, elementary school.
>> Oh man.

They're getting screwed.

>> Ah, she's always
pissed off too.

>> Hey, hey!
>> She comes home, she tries--

>> My girlfriend's flipping out.

She's trying to kill herself.

>> Whoa, where is she now?
>> Up on the roof here!

>> Can you take me up there?
>> Yeah, yeah!

>> Cop: All right.

>> Cop: All right, I'll
call fire and rescue.

>> Any history of
mental health problems?

>> Boyfriend: Yeah, quite a few.

>> She attempted this before?
>> I think so, yeah.

[somber music]

>> What's going on?

>> Dunno, somebody
on the roof maybe.

Hey look, you should
get back on the sidewalk

across the street okay?

>> I don't see anybody.

>> Just clear the
road, will you please?

It's okay, come on.

Thank you!

>> Dominic: What time's
this dinner with the PM?

>> Seven.
>> Seven?

How many people?

You know where I'm
sitting, where?

>> You are the head of the
table, 200 people altogether.

>> 200?

I've only got like a minute
and a half to talk to the guy.

I can see it now, goddamn it.

How close am I to him?

>> Three seats down.
>> Beautiful.

What are they soaking, how
much a plate is this thing?

>> A grand.

>> It's a G note a plate?

What's happening with
this red zone tour now?

Has he confirmed
anything with us?

>> We haven't
heard, I don't know.

>> You know what you
do, get on the horn,

see if you can pull
the PM's schedule.

>> Okay.

>> So the boyfriend says

she has a history
of mental problems.

Lately she stopped
taking her medication.

She's got into the crack.

She tried to get into
a recovery house,

but they couldn't get her a spot

for another couple of months.

>> Yeah, you guys get a
chance to speak with her?

>> No, she blocked the door to
the roof with a two by four.

Took me five minutes
to break the door down.

>> You guys called fire
and rescue at what time?

>> As soon as we heard she
was threatening to jump.

>> By the time they got here,

she'd already jumped is that it?

>> Yeah, I don't know
what took 'em so long.

It's only three minutes to
the hall from here, max.

Would've been good to have
had that ladder truck here.

>> Yeah right.

You guys aren't going anywhere.

I can get back to you right?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay, I'll talk to you.
>> All right.

>> All right, hold on.

Sam says the VMO can't send
you the minister's schedule,

just the event
you're invited to.

It's a security issue.

>> Total horseshit.

>> That's horseshit apparently.

>> Hey get ahold of the
head of security there.

>> Call the head of security.

>> Dominic: He's
an old horseman.

He'll talk to me.

>> Old horseman, mayor
wants to talk to him.

>> Looks like we
got a traffic stop.

[radios crackling]

[sirens chirp]

>> I need to talk to
you in a minute okay?

>> What's the hold up?

>> We've had a fatality.

You can just swing
around there if you like.

>> Driver: Thanks.

>> Mick, Leary!

>> Mr. Mayor.
>> How's it going?

What's happening here?

>> We've had a woman
jump off the roof here.

Yeah, police are saying
that fire and rescue

were a little slow in responding

and they're saying they got
the call after she jumped

so there's a bit of a
time discrepancy going on.

>> Well what is going on?

>> Police are saying if
they had the ladder truck,

they would've had a chance
to get to her, right?

Fire and rescue are saying

they were here
within 2 1/2 minutes.

So I don't know, I'm
gonna sort it out.

>> Stop with this bullshit.

>> Yes hello?
>> I'll sort it out.

Talk to you later.
>> This can't continue.

>> Take it easy.
>> Yeah, do call me.

>> Yep.

>> Rita: His schedule, right.

The prime minister's schedule.

>> Chief would like
you to take a look

at the prime minister's schedule

and talk about it when
you have a minute.

>> Thank you, I
will be right in.

>> Okay.
[phone rings]

>> Sergeant Klotchko.

>> Hey Charlie, Sam Berger
in the mayor's office.

>> Sam, how you doing?
>> Good.

How'd you enjoy
that football game?

>> Great, I got really hammered.

>> Good.

Listen, with the prime minister
visit coming up so fast,

I was hoping we
could get together

and talk about the
schedule a little bit,

see what we might be able to

possibly get you a
chance to meet him.

>> Charlie: Oh yeah, okay.

>> You got it handy
there, the schedule?

>> Right in front of me.

>> You mind, could
you fire over a copy?

I got a bad fax here,
I can't read it.

>> Yeah, I'll email it to you.

We'll talk tomorrow okay?

>> Okay, tonight would
be better you know?

I gotta juggle a few things.

You know how it is.

>> Soon as I can, okay?

>> Okay, thank you.

>> Okay so he's got a
seven o'clock breakfast

at his hotel with a
few local businessmen.

Floyd Manning's bunch.

That is totally
covered by horsemen.

And then they travel.

We'll be doing the motorcycle
guard out to university

to dedicate a new building,

and lunch is back downtown at
the hotel with port officials.

>> What's this
between two and three?

>> I think that's
just his private time.

That's what security told me.

They usually let him deal
with business back east,

or whatever's pressing.

There's no way you're
getting in there.

>> Then let's see if we can't
get in at this luncheon.

Give his handlers a call,
see what the opportunity is.

>> Okay, there's also
dinner at the Pacific.

I don't know if you
want to go there.

>> Man: It's not too late.

>> Thousand dollars a plate?

>> There should
be funds set aside

somewhere for that, Charlie.

>> Yeah, let me get into it.

>> Now what's this
the following evening?

Looks like he's got a free
block of time in there.

>> No, private engagement.

Floyd Manning I think.

>> Man: Let's see
what's happening there.

[steam hisses]

>> I understand that the
decision's already been taken.

You're gonna go
ahead and investigate

that corrupt shooting mess now.

>> I am, yes.

>> I thought you were gonna
give me a heads up there.

>> I'm sorry you
got that impression.

>> Normal protocol, isn't it?

>> No.

The Police Complaints Commission
is an independent body.

We're not required to
inform anyone, thank you.

>> So now what we've got is RCMP

investigating the Vancouver
Police Department.

Where do you suppose
that's gonna go?

>> I'm not gonna try and
predict, that's not my job.

>> Well, it is part of my job.

I look out in the morning and
I see some ugly gray clouds,

I'm gonna predict rain.

Now if I see that the RCMP's
gonna take an opportunity

to smear the Vancouver
Police Department,

because they think
they oughta be running

the whole goddamn
city, excuse me,

or any undue fault finding,

I'm gonna predict
that I'm gonna have to

prepare the city for the
consequences of that.

>> I really don't think
you're gonna see any of that.

>> Can I ask you a question?

Have you got any police
experience at all sir?

>> Kaspar: 10 years
with the horsemen.

>> Dominic: 10 years?

Okay, well you understand
police culture a little bit.

>> Kaspar: I hope so.

>> Okay let's make the bet
an aside, just you and me.

Let's just say this, okay?

I bet you that your commission's

gonna come down pretty hard

on the Vancouver
Police Department

and hang 'em out to dry on this.

You know why?

That's the tendency,
that's the culture.

They hate each other
and I'm gonna be left

to deal with the
consequences of that.

Do you understand
where I'm coming from?

>> Who's better to investigate
the police than the police?

Who else is trained to
investigate police matters?

>> Who?

The coroner, any ex
crown prosecutor.

You could have any
criminal lawyer

'cause they've all got good
investigative experience.

I could see any one of those
guys or a combination thereof.

>> I think the point here
is that fire and rescue

asked us to investigate,
and I intend to do that.

>> Is there no way I can
talk you out of that?

>> No.
>> No way?

>> Kaspar: No.

Is there anything else?

>> Yeah, you just
let me know okay?

'Cause I gotta prepare for
the consequences like I said.

You know that fire and rescue

already have a job
action going right?

Are you aware?

>> I'll be in touch.

>> Thank you.

>> Morning Mr. Mayor.

>> Dominic: Morning,
how are you doing?

>> Just wanted to say hello.

>> Oh good, I'm glad you did.

Nice to meet you.
>> Thank you.

>> Hope you're having
a better day than I am.

>> So this guy's not a cop?

>> No, he's the coroner.

He's also a friend.

You just explain
everything to him

just like you did to me, okay?

Hey Mick.
>> Hey.

>> Good to see ya.
>> Hey Brian.

>> This is Andrew.
>> Andrew, Mick Leary.

Nice to meet ya.

>> I'll leave you to it.

>> Yeah, thanks a lot.

I appreciate you coming forward
to talk with me, Andrew.

Do you feel the need to be

somewhere more private
or is this okay for ya?

>> No, this is fine.
>> Yeah?

Detective Curtis was telling me

that you've been to
the Century Club.

>> Andrew: Yeah.

>> Mick: When was that?

>> The night before Halloween.

>> Yeah?

What happened?

>> Well, it didn't go
down like a normal trick.

There was a few people involved

and they made a
big deal about it.

>> Yeah?

>> One guy picked me
up in a green truck

and made me put on a blindfold.

>> You manage to
get a look at him?

>> Yeah I saw him before
I put on the blindfold.

He was wearing a Halloween mask,

then he drove me to that club.

>> How do you know where
you were being driven

if you were wearing a blindfold?

>> I could see a little

through the right hand
side on the bottom.

>> Yeah?

Okay then what happened?

>> He drove me around downtown
in circles for a while,

then before he
turned underground

I saw that Chinese store at
the corner beside the alley.

>> Yeah, you know it
was that store for sure?

>> Yeah, I recognized the
sandwich board they got.

>> Okay.

>> So then we got out of the car

in the underground parking lot.

Then got into an elevator.

We went up a few flights,

and then went into a room.

Then he took off the blindfold,

and that's when I, you know,

did what I was paid to do.

>> How many people
were involved?

>> Two old guys.
>> Old guys?

Not including the
guy from the car?

>> No.

Two old guys.

>> White guys?
>> Yeah, white.

>> You manage to hear anybody

mention a name during any
of this, you remember?

>> I think one of them
called the other guy Eric.

>> Eric.

Okay.

Gotta get yourself
off the street, bud.

These guys play for
keeps, I'm not kidding ya.

>> Hey, sorry I'm late.

>> Man: That's no problem.

>> I just came back from seeing

the Police Complaints
Commissioner, Kaspar over there.

I managed to persuade him

to investigate your complaint.

>> He's going to take it on?

>> Yes sir.

>> Good.
>> Yeah.

>> Man: Thank you.

>> So now you've
gotta do your bit.

You've gotta go out there

and convince your members
to stop the bullshit.

>> What bullshit exactly is
that you're talking about?

>> You know exactly what
bullshit I'm talking about.

You gotta tell your members

that everybody down here is
trying to do the right thing.

There is going to
be an investigation,

so let's just everybody
go back to work as usual

and I don't want to hear anymore

about guys not showing
up for their shifts

or people dragging
their heels on a call.

That can't happen.

>> I have no say over
any kind of job action

they may decide to take.

That's union business.

>> All right, well
what you have to do now

is you have to actually
sell this investigation

to your members and you
have to prepare them,

'cause you're gonna have to
accept the results here too.

That's the downside
to this whole thing.

If the Police Complaints
Commissioner comes back

with a finding that you
guys are in the wrong,

that there was a notice left
there and you're culpable,

you're gonna have
to live with that.

>> I'm not sure that's
gonna be the case.

>> Well, can't have it
both ways in this world,

so let's just try and use
this to calm the waters

and get everybody happy again.

Can we at least try and do that?

>> What's Chief
Jacob's reaction?

>> I imagine he's
gonna be pretty pissed.

>> I expect you'll be having a
similar conversation with him

about his people accepting
the investigation?

>> Of course I'm
gonna have that,

gonna have that exact
same conversation with him absolutely.

>> All right.
>> All right?

>> Thank you for your efforts.

>> Well thank you, you know?

And just let your members
know that it's underway

and it's all gonna
come out in the wash.

>> I've got the PM's schedule.

Sergeant Klotchko
finally sent it over.

>> Yeah, well so do I.

Guess what?

It's in the newspaper today.

It's not good enough,
I don't want that.

>> Just a reminder, we do have

the slots vote in council today.

>> I'm aware of that.

I wanna know what's happening
with the prime minister.

Is he gonna come on this
red zone tour, is he not?

It's as simple as that.

>> Yes sir.

>> Dominic: Thank you.

>> Yes, Vera.

>> Mr. Kaspar from the Police
Complaints Commission called.

>> What's he want this time?

>> He wants you to know

that he'll be authorizing
an investigation

of the Gorup shooting.

>> Get Charlie in
here, goddamn it!

Charlie!

Thank you Vera.

>> What's up?

>> I'm gonna have to talk to

Inspector Arkin over
at organized crime.

>> Okay, what's going on?

>> The goddamn Complaints
Commission is investigating.

Vera, get Kaspar on the phone.

>> He'll be able to speak to
the prime minister at dinner.

I believe the mayor's
sitting beside him.

>> Uh-huh, he is but the mayor

doesn't want to monopolize him.

He realizes he's got to
press the flesh a little.

You know what we were hoping
is that you could confirm

what was already
sort of promised.

That the prime minister
would take a tour

of the red light zone.

>> I don't think
that's gonna happen.

It's a quick trip with
a tight turnaround

and a lot of people need time
with him, so may be better

to arrange something
next time he's out west.

>> Well, we do keep hearing
through back channels

that he does want
to see the red zone.

>> What back channels
are we talking about?

>> Lord Manning?

>> Okay.

Let me see if I can
make that happen.

>> Your friend from
the prime minister's

security detail is on the phone.

>> Thank you.

Yeah, Charlie what's up?

When is this supposed to happen?

Well, wait a minute, hang on.

I'd have to say that
is not a secure area.

I mean, I wouldn't
be taking the PM

down the middle of
crackheads and hookers.

I mean that is a wild street.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bill?

>> Lloyd: Just a
couple of things

before the vote
on the slots hell.

>> Jesus Christ, Lloyd.

We've had a lot of
concessions already, why?

>> Well just hear me out.

Okay none of the parks
department is telling

that we have to give up

one of the parking
lots at the racetrack.

>> Yeah.

>> If that happens, I'm gonna

have to build an
underground parking lot.

>> That's right, you gotta
work with the community.

If the community
wants to have a park,

you're gonna have to put
your parking lot underground.

>> Can you back 'em off?

>> No I can't.

I gotta stay right out of it.

>> Council meeting?

>> This thing is gonna
be a huge expense to me.

I mean the whole thing's
starting to look prohibitive.

>> I know, but you've
got a park lease,

now if you want the slots
you're gonna pay the piper.

All right, I gotta run.

Jesus.

>> Welcome back counsel.

If you could take
a look at this.

>> That's Phillips.

What's Phillips doing here?

He's supposed to be in
the goddamn Bahamas.

>> He came back last
night for the vote.

>> Oh Jesus goddamn Christ.

What if I lose?

>> We should defer the vote
and jam it to the next meeting.

That'll buy us some
time to strategize.

>> He's right here, hang on.

Norman Flynn, head of
the PM security detail.

>> Yeah Norm, it's Chief Jacobs.

How are ya?

Listen, Charlie Klotchko
tells me you guys are thinking

about taking the prime minister

into the red zone for a tour.

Uh-huh.

>> I've got him an invitation

to the luncheon, noon
at the Hotel Vancouver.

>> Well, there's violence down
there just about every night.

It's volatile.

You never know.

Yeah, well, I don't
agree with the mayor.

I think it's a security
risk and I'm going on record

that I'm opposed to the idea.

>> In fact I think
what's much more likely

to result in increased crime
is the massive loss of jobs

we'll be seeing if these
slots aren't approved.

>> Thank you,
counselor Phillips?

>> Yeah.

Well I've been hearing a lot
today about save the track,

save the track,
which I have to say

is a really poor
excuse to introduce

such a corruptive form of
gambling into one of our parks,

and residential neighborhoods

and worst of all, this
issue's being used

as a scare tactic
to garner support

of the track workers
for slot machines.

>> Dominic: Thank you.

Counselor Pierce?

>> Thank you.

This being the contentious
issue that it is,

I think it might
be wise to digest

everything we've heard today,
and vote next council meeting.

>> Okay the motion is
then to defer the vote

on this application 'til
the next council meeting.

Can I see all those in favor?

One, two, three, four.

I'd like just to remind council

of the importance
of a vote on this.

Bylaw amendments, everybody
just take a deep breath here.

This motion is to table this
vote 'til next council meeting.

Can I see all hands in favor?

Opposed?

That's five in favor
and five opposed,

so this motion does not carry.

So here we go then.

This is the motion
for the application

to amend the zoning bylaw with
respect to 2901 East Hastings

to allow slot machines.

All those in favor?

All those opposed?

That's five in
favor, five opposed.

Application is denied.

Damn it.

Thought you said that
Ferlinger was a goddamn lock.

>> That's what she told me.

>> Jesus Christ.

You'd better get
Manning on the phone.

>> Rita: Okay.

>> We have a witness statement
that has the two Native boys

last being seen climbing
in Dubreau's limo.

>> Has he been questioned?

>> No, not officially.

>> What's the holdup?

>> Well he's well
protected by his lawyers.

If we bring him in
for questioning now,

might give him a
chance to clean up,

maybe influence other witnesses.

>> You don't think there's
enough here for an arrest?

>> Dubreau may not be
the only part of this.

There might be other
parties involved.

Better to see who else we might

be able to bring in the door.

Still seems weak to me, and
I bet the crown would agree.

>> I'll talk to the crown.

I think it's time to move on it.

>> Okay, I'll let
my detectives know.

>> Thank you, Sheila.

>> Okay, so I spoke
to the PM's handler.

Said he's gonna try to persuade

the PM to go on
the red zone tour.

>> Good.
>> Yeah.

Had to drop Lloyd
Manning's name.

>> That's okay.

How's Manning taking the news?

Does he know yet
about the slot vote?

>> No, I heard a pretty
disturbing rumor though.

>> What?

>> Well, people have been
calling from out at the track

and word is Manning sold his
lease to Roger Woo yesterday.

>> Sold the lease?

>> Apparently he flipped it for
a five million dollar profit.

>> The chief is
pushing for an arrest.

>> You arrest Dubreau right now,

and this whole thing vaporizes.

I got a new witness
says this shit's

still going on at
the Century Club.

>> Well, Jacobs has
got his nose into it.

He wants us to move on it.

>> I don't think you
have enough evidence.

Why is he pushing
this thing so hard?

>> Personally in my opinion

I think he's desperate
for some good press

and he thinks this'll
give it to him.

But you know what, you
should get into it with him.

We're way down the food chain.

>> Hey Claire.

>> Yes sir?

>> Get me a meeting with Chief
Jacobs as soon as you can.

Oh, do me another?

I need you to do me
a real quick favor.

Call up the Century Club.

>> You shook my hand, Lloyd.

You shook my hand
and you told me

you were not gonna
sell this racetrack.

>> Things change.

>> Jesus Christ, Lloyd.

>> Were you gonna sell
it to Roger Woo anyway

if I didn't buy it.

I don't really see
the big problem.

>> You don't see the
problem, aside from the fact

that I spent the
last month and a half

listening to you as
you bullshitted me

for a month and a half?

Aside from the fact
that I go around

telling everybody you're gonna
be a good corporate citizen,

gonna live up to your pledges.

>> It's just business.

Roger Woo's gonna do
a good job for you.

>> Well, yeah now
there's no slots there

how long do you suppose
Roger Woo's gonna hang in?

>> He'll make it work.

He's got a lot of experience.

>> I just wanna know
one thing from you.

Why did you do it that way?

Why did you flip this racetrack

before the goddamn vote
on the slots went down?

>> I went with my gut feeling.

>> No, that's bullshit.

You flipped that
racetrack 'cause you knew

that vote on council
was gonna go that way.

Did you know about that?

>> Lloyd: You're reading
way too much into it.

>> Did you influence
Sandra Ferlinger?

>> You're reading
too much into this.

>> Tell me what I'm
reading into this.

I mean you screwed me,
I'm not gonna forget it.

>> Lloyd: All I did was do

what any good
businessman would do.

>> What any good
businessman would do?

A good businessman
would not screw the city

the way you just did.

I don't think so.

This is the last piece of
business you and I ever do, pal.

>> I'm sorry to hear that.

>> Don't come to me looking

for any help or
any advice anymore.

>> I'm sorry you feel that way.

>> Ever.

[gulls cawing]

>> Talked to the Century Club.

They said on October the 30th

there was only one
upstairs room rented out.

>> Okay to who?

>> They said it was reserved
by the BC Judicial Society.

>> The Judicial Society?

>> They wouldn't
give me any names,

just the organization.

>> Thank you Claire.
>> You're welcome.

>> Wow.

>> Now the slots
aren't happening,

I've gotta weigh my options.

>> What does that mean?

>> Well the way I look at it,

I'm gonna have to try
and sell the lease.

>> Oh this is such bullshit.

Do you know what kind of
shitstorm it's gonna be

if you don't make a
go of it down there?

I just can't have
people just flipping

this racetrack back and forth.

>> If the slots
had gone through,

I would've made a good go of it,

but now I'm losing money every
day I keep the track open.

I didn't buy it to
operate as a charity.

>> Okay look, if you could
just bear with me here.

This is what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go back to council

and I'm gonna have what's
known as a reconsideration vote

and this time, I will
not lose that vote.

>> Yeah, we're talking quite a
ways down the road aren't we?

>> Not necessarily.

>> If you want me
to carry the track

until we can get the
slot machines voted in,

which would take what, at
least another two years?

>> No, no.

>> I'm gonna have to ask you
for some sort of concessions.

>> Dominic: What
kind of concessions?

>> If we were to receive
some casino licenses

for other locations in the city,

that would help us
carry the track.

>> Casino licenses?

There's a limit on those.

I can't just grant those.

>> Three licenses
would probably allow us

to keep on holding
the racetrack.

>> I'm gonna have to get
back to you on that one.

>> I understand.

>> All right.

You know how much Lloyd
Manning made on this resale,

what about five mil
he put in his pocket.

>> I'm aware.

>> Yeah.

>> Nice seeing you again, sir.

>> Well, you too.

>> My client is now
willing to cooperate

and admit to her role in
the Stanley Park beating.

>> And her role was what?

>> Katie: I was there.

>> Can you name
who else was there?

>> My client's
cooperation is contingent

upon a deal with the
crown being in place.

>> I don't think we're ready

to take her word
for what occurred.

So far she's been
totally uncooperative,

and we've got several witnesses

that were saying Katie
was the instigator.

>> That's total bullshit.

They're just saying that

because they're
scared of these guys.

So was I.

That's why I lied to you.

>> Well who are these guys?

>> Come on, I'd like to
see some sort of guarantee

on the table before Katie
discloses their identity.

>> You're not getting
any guarantee.

She names these guys,
we go talk to them,

and then we decide who
gets charged with what.

>> They're the guys you want.

I saw them hold the
guy's head underwater.

>> Okay, great.

Let's hear it.

[Katie sighs]

[foghorn blares]

>> Hey, thanks for coming.

All right, the Police
Complaints Commission

has ordered an
independent investigation.

That means the RCMP is
gonna be coming to see you.

>> Jesus.

Okay.

All right.

>> I don't think you
have to talk to them.

You can refer them
to your lawyer

and she can give
them your statements.

>> I can do that?

>> Yeah.

You should tell your lawyer

that you're under
too much stress,

and that another interrogation

is just too much
for you to handle.

Maybe go to a doctor
and say you're feeling

like you got a touch of
post-traumatic stress disorder.

>> How's that gonna
affect my reinstatement?

>> No effect at all,
it's totally normal.

It's almost expected.

In fact, if you don't show
some effects from the shooting

that's gonna look
a little unusual.

Anyway, go to your lawyer
and tell her how you feel.

You don't want to talk

to the horsemen when
they come around.

>> Okay.

But before I agree
to that, I gotta have

some sort of assurance
I'm gonna get reinstated.

I need your word on that.

>> You got it.

There's a coroner's liaison
position opening up.

We're gonna put you in there.

That's a sweet gig.

Do that for a year or so,
come back into regular duty.

>> That sounds good.

Thank you.

>> Beautiful.

>> Oh.

Hey, how you doing?

>> Dominic, I just had lunch
with the prime minister.

>> Dominic: Yeah, how'd that go?

>> Very well.

Chief of police was there.

He happened to corner the prime
minister for a few minutes.

He gave him an earful
about the negative effect

of the safe injection site,

and the negative
impact of the red zone.

So the thing is, I don't think
you're gonna get a chance

to tour the PM down there.

>> Damn it, okay.

Well thanks, thank you
anyway for this Bob.

>> Bob: All right.

>> Sanjay?

Hi, how ya doing?

Yeah it's Dominic.

Are you in Vancouver?

Oh okay, I need your help.

I'm having trouble getting
through to the prime minister.

Yeah, well he sort of
loosely promised me.

>> Sanjay: I was at the lunch.

I overheard the whole thing.

>> Yeah?

What did the police chief
have to say for himself?

>> Basically what
you already know.

That the red zone here is
dangerous, volatile, violent.

>> No, no, no, it's none
of those things okay?

We had a few initial problems
down there setting up,

but most of that was caused
by the police themselves

trying to interfere with the

normal functioning of the place.

Look, it's totally
safe down there.

Trust me, I would not have
asked the prime minister

to come down there if I could
not guarantee his safety.

>> I'll talk to him.

I can't say he'll
want to go down there,

but I know he wants
to talk to you.

He has some other issues he
wants to discuss with you.

>> Dominic: What other issues?

>> You know we're a
little down in the polls

out here in the west.

>> Oh down, you're funny.

Yeah, it's not exactly a
stronghold for you guys, why?

>> Not exactly,
which is the point.

Your approval ratings are higher

than anybody we've seen in
your office for over a decade.

>> Uh-huh.

>> And the prime minister
thinks you're a good candidate.

We want to know if we
should be grooming you

for taking a run at
the premier's office,

or if not that
something federal.

>> Nobody's grooming
me for anything, okay?

I'm not interested in
anything provincial,

or federal for that matter.

It's right here, okay?

This is where I'm happy.

>> I think you should
have a conversation.

>> Why?

>> Well let the PM know what
your political concerns are.

>> My concerns are
the city right here.

This is all I care about,

and I don't wanna be
stringing him along.

>> Have the conversation.

You're going to be at
the dinner tonight.

I'll carve out 10 or 20 minutes.

You can have a good chat.

That will get you some leverage.

>> Yeah all right, fine.

We can have the conversation.

It's 10 minutes with the
prime minister, what the hell?

Yeah.

>> These guys are
still operating.

They're still picking up kids.

This thing's pervasive.

When James Dubreau is arrested,

I'm afraid the rest of these
guys are gonna disappear,

maybe leave the country.

At least they're gonna
cover their tracks.

>> So how close are you
to getting the evidence

you need to proceed on some
of these other charges?

>> I got another witness.

He's a street kid,
he's underage.

Said he was taken to the
Century Club a couple weeks ago

where he had sex
with two older men.

>> Okay, and?

>> The night that happened,
the room was rented out

to the BC Judicial Society.

>> Really?
>> Really.

>> So what do you want?

>> More time to pursue it.

>> I can have homicide hold off

a few more days
maybe, but that's it.

>> Mick: That's all.

>> I need you to get
whatever you've got

on this Judicial Society over
to sex crimes right away.

They need to be aware of this.

>> Got it.

>> We got totally screwed on
that vote for the racetrack.

I guess you heard about that.

>> Where does that leave us

as far as bringing on
the new police officers?

>> Totally screwed there.

Without slot revenues,
there is no new cops.

Now I'm not raising
property taxes.

People are getting hosed
there enough as it is.

Now it's Roger Woo
I'm concerned about.

He's not gonna hang in
there at the racetrack.

Not unless we support

some casino applications
that he wants.

>> You want me to
look into that?

>> Might as well.

>> Okay.
>> I don't like a gun

getting put to my head,

but let's just play along
and see what it takes.

>> Okay.

>> What's up?

>> Hey, I just got
a call from Sanjay.

>> And?

>> You're gonna have drinks
with the prime minister

after dinner, and that's just
you and him in his suite.

>> Oh that's great
news, finally okay.

Who am I meeting with now?

>> Sandra Ferlinger
and Ben Solomon.

You want some privacy?

>> Yeah, think so.

What a goddamn
pair you two make.

That's a beautiful
sight, the two of you--

>> Rajinder.

Can I talk to you
for a second please?

>> What the hell went
on in there today?

You totally screwed me in
the council chambers today.

Is there any
explanation for that?

>> Manning flipped the property.

You were screwed anyway!

>> Well okay, there's
50 new officers

that I promised
passed down the tubes.

But hundreds and
hundreds of jobs

have just disappeared overnight.

About 1,000 horses
will be heading

down that road to
the glue factory.

On top of that, Roger Woo is
gonna flip that racetrack.

That means the doors
are gonna close.

We're gonna lose
an entire season,

and there goes an industry
right down the tubes

thanks to your little
games over there.

>> He can't flip it.

We make it a heritage
site, nobody will touch it.

>> Excuse me?

>> We can have a meeting
as soon as next week

that declares the entire
track a heritage site.

>> Oh yeah?
>> Which gives the city time

to organize taking over
the track ourselves.

>> Rita, could you get
in here and grab Sam,

drag him in here too.

>> I've been researching
the heritage laws

for my hockey rink.

Remind me, I want to
ask a favor for that.

Hastings Park qualifies for
class A heritage status.

>> You're trying to tell me
that we can turn the racetrack

into a class A heritage
site, possible?

>> I think so.

>> This better be a
legit way of doing this.

I'm telling you right
now, 'cause I'll be asking

for both your resignations.

>> It's legit.

And I took a poll after
you stormed out of council.

Most councilors are
with us on this one.

>> Most of 'em?

>> In fact, we can call
an extraordinary meeting

immediately if you like.

Before Mr. Woo
finds out about it?

>> Tonight?

>> Yes.
>> You can do it tonight?

>> Absolutely.

>> Ooh, Roger Woo's
gonna be pissed.

>> Let's get the
lawyers involved,

hash it out tonight
before it leaks.

>> Yeah I don't
know, I don't know.

Yeah better get the lawyers
involved with this big time.

Hey Sam, I need
you to go pull Judy

out of that committee room.

Let's get her opinion on this.

She knows a lot about this shit.

I just don't know,
I just don't know.

>> Man: Hey how's it going?

>> Hey, good.

What's happening?

>> Not much.

I'm one of the organizers
of the CRAB Park squad.

>> Oh right, I recognize you.

>> Yeah, I recognize you too.

You're dealing dope down there.

>> What's the problem?

>> I'm getting
pressure from police

to turn in anybody
I see dealing there.

>> I'm not dealing.

>> I just don't wanna be
naming any names, you know?

So I thought I'd
give you the heads up

that they're gonna send some
narcs in to bust you guys.

>> I'm not dealing.

>> Good, won't be any problem
then when they bust the place.

>> When's this gonna go down?

>> I don't know,
could be any time now.

>> Okay, thanks.

>> Hey Zack, how you doing?

Long time no see.

>> Yeah well, that's
the job my friend.

>> Oh yeah?

>> Rita: Are you canceling
the PM's dinner tonight,

or can you go?

>> No, I've gotta forget it

and I gotta get
all this sorted out

so send my regrets, okay?

>> Okay, Roger Woo called.

He's requesting a
meeting tomorrow

about his casino licenses.

>> Oh yeah.

>> Did you want to
string him along?

>> Yeah, set that up.
>> Okay.

>> Dominic: Okay
what do we know?

>> Okay here's what
I think happened.

I asked Rajinder to do
a little poking around.

He's got friends in the real
estate business in Delta.

>> Oh okay, and?

>> Roger Woo has been
assembling land in Delta.

>> Dominic: Yes.

>> He's planning a racetrack
facility out there.

>> He's what?

>> For that to happen,

Hastings Racecourse
has to go belly up.

Yeah, so Woo gets
together with Manning.

They figure if the
slots don't go,

the track here under
Woo's stewardship

will eventually be phased out.

All the horse business will
go to Woo's facility in Delta.

>> Leaving Hastings
to revert to parkland.

>> Yeah, these guys
got big bags of money.

They can afford to piss
away five or 10 million.

>> So he comes to me and starts
begging for casino licenses

because he wants to keep
that track operating.

>> Yeah, which he'll
do for a little while

and then he'll start
screaming it's costing him

too much to keep
alive as a track.

>> He never wanted the
slot vote to go through.

>> No, they just wanted to
get in there and buy the track

before somebody else who
could make a go of it did.

They've been screwing
us since day one.

>> Now they're laughing at us.

Jesus Christ.

Do you know for sure
this is happening?

He's putting together
this racetrack in Delta?

>> I have friends in the horse
breeding community out there.

>> Oh yeah.

>> They told me Mr. Woo's been
promising them a new racetrack

for the last six months.

>> And do you know for
sure that he's already

assembled the land out there?

>> Yes, he's planning
a mile and a half track

and a big casino.

>> Damn to Jesus!

[suspenseful music]

>> What's up?

>> You getting in?

>> What's the deal?

>> Same as before, let's go.

>> Andrew: Where are
we going, same place?

>> Don't worry about that.

>> No blindfold?

>> What's this?
[sirens wail]

>> License and registration.

>> What's the problem?

>> This a friend of yours?

>> Just giving him a ride.

>> Yeah?

Take the ID out of the
wallet, please sir.

You, get out of the car and
wait for me on the sidewalk.

I'm gonna give you
a warning this time.

>> What'd I do?

>> You just picked up a
known sex trade worker,

and your name and vehicle
are going on a watch list.

>> I was just giving him a ride.

>> Have a nice night.

>> Andrew: You just cost
me a bunch of money.

I hope you know that.

>> I'll make it up to you.

Get in the car, I'll
give you a ride.

>> All these things need
to go to lawyers tomorrow

so everyone have a last look.

>> Tomorrow, it's today already.

>> Yeah, it's gonna take most
of the day to get this done

so everybody sit tight.

I don't want a word
of this to leak out.

>> Not a word.

I'll lock everybody in
the office if I have to.

If this thing goes sideways,

there's gonna be
blood on the floor.

>> Okay.

>> Dominic: Trust me.

>> So by the end of
the day, Hastings Park

becomes a heritage site
and any attempt by Woo

to flip the track
will be stonewalled.

>> Julia?

What did you find out?

Can we even run this
track ourselves?

>> We can.

>> How are we gonna do that?

How are we gonna keep the jobs
down there in the short term?

>> We go to the province,

ask them for a special
gaming license.

>> Casino licenses?

From the province?

And if they say no?

>> Then we take over
existing licenses

and transfer them to the track.

>> Oh, we can do that?

All right.

You know I'm thinking
all this stuff

has to go to lawyers anyways.

Ain't no reason for us
to be here anymore today.

Why don't you everybody go home?

>> Right.
>> Beautiful job.

>> Thank you.

>> Way to go everyone, nice job.

>> Goodnight.
>> Sam.

>> Sam: Goodnight.

>> Woman: Goodnight.

>> Sandra.

I'm still pissed.

[Sandra sighs]

[rain patters]

>> Sanjay Gohill called.

He's very disappointed you
couldn't make it last night.

>> Well, did he say anything

about the prime minister
coming out to the red zone?

>> Nothing about that, just
that he was disappointed

and Roger Woo is in your office.

>> Ooh see if you can get
Sanjay on the phone for me.

>> Rita: Okay.

>> Dominic: Gentlemen,
how are you doing?

>> Lawyers are all hard at it.

So far, so good, no problems.

We'll have the racetrack
designated a heritage site

by this afternoon
close of business.

>> That's terrific.

What about the casino licenses?

>> I'm on with the
minster in charge.

Says it's doable, but it might
be politically dangerous.

They don't wanna get on
the wrong side of the Woos.

>> It's kinda hard to figure out

what the right side
of the Woos is.

Okay, well you just tell him

I'm gonna want to
speak to him okay?

And if he doesn't
wanna work this out,

I'm going right to
the premier on it.

You wanna come in?

Come with me on this?

>> Yes sir.

>> Okay, just gotta keep
bullshitting this guy

until we get the designation
of the heritage site.

Goodbye, talk.

Roger Woo.

Well you're up early.

Oh sit down.

>> How you doing?
>> Good morning.

How are you?
>> You know Sam.

>> Yes of course.
>> How are you?

>> I'm sorry about how the
vote went on the slot machines.

I kinda thought that whole
thing was a done deal there.

But I'm grateful for the fact

that you're down
there at Hastings

and that you're so committed
to keeping that track alive.

It's a huge relief for me.

>> Well I'm just hoping we
can come to an agreement

that'll work for the both of us.

>> I'm sure we can.

Now what is it
you're looking for

with these casino licenses?

>> We have three potential
sites in the city.

Two are in our existing hotels.

The Veniet Plaza and
the Mandarin Bay,

and the third one will be
in our new hotel development

which is before the
planning committee.

>> So three?

Okay.

Right, what do you think Sam?

>> Kind of revenue split

would we be seeing
out of those Roger?

>> We'll be sending some revenue
projections over for you.

>> It's instigated by the
Police Complaints Commission.

As far as I'm concerned, it is
an unwarranted investigation

completely without validity.

>> What should I be expecting?

>> Just a couple of
old horsemen probably.

They'll wanna see all your

paperwork, forensic
evidence, notebook.

>> I probably know
him from somewhere.

It'll be okay.

>> You feel free to tell him
that you'd rather not cooperate.

You got my backing on that.

>> Okay, sounds good.

What about that old guy
was paired up with, Chick?

You talk to him yet?

>> Not yet.

>> 'Cause seemed to me he had
his nose too deep in forensics.

He kept missing the big picture.

>> Well, we'll be
speaking with him as well.

I don't think there's
cause for concern, Charlie?

>> No, Chick's no problem.

He does what he's told.

>> That wasn't my impression.

Seemed to me he wasn't entirely

on board with my conclusions.

>> Man: I'll have
a word with him.

[knocking]

>> Come in.

See here?

Come on in, Lloyd.

>> Hey Dominic.

I just wanted to stop
by and apologize.

>> Well you could've
done that over the phone.

>> Yeah well I guess so,

but I also have some good news

that I'd like to share with you.

>> Good news, like the
racetrack good news?

'Cause we both know how
well that one turned out.

>> Well, again I apologize,

but out of all that
you know you were

talking about losing the
sports franchise in the city?

Well I've been
doing some homework.

I've been talking to
the stadium owners here.

Now I'm a basketball fan,

so I start thinking

is there a franchise in
trouble out there somewhere

that I could maybe
relocate here?

>> What are you talking about?

You're talking about bringing
a basketball franchise

back here to Vancouver?

>> I think it'll go, don't you?

>> Very interesting idea.

Very interesting.

Let me just grab my assistants.

I want them in on this one.

Hey Rita, where's Sam?

Can you find Sam for me?

Come on in here, I want
you guys to hear this.

>> You didn't miss much at the
PM's dinner the other night.

>> Dominic: No?

>> Everyone got like
10 seconds of his time.

It was like a zoo.

You'll see him tonight, anyway.

>> I will, is that for sure?

>> Yeah, I think so.

>> Good news, the
prime minister's

up for the red
zone tour tonight.

I guess we got through
to his handlers.

>> I guess we did.

Congratulations, nice work.

Okay, I got some more good news.

Mr. Manning here
wants to tell us

how he's gonna bring
professional basketball

back here to Vancouver.

>> No kidding?

That's a good idea.

>> I think so too.

>> Dominic: Yeah, I
got a question though.

>> Fire away.

>> I'm just curious how it is

you're gonna screw me this
time, what's your pitch?

>> Everybody loves basketball.

You'll be a hero for
bringing it back to the city.

You'll be known as
the sports mayor.

Think of the jobs,
you love jobs.

>> What's the hook?

>> I got a line on a
franchise, it's gonna happen.

Either here or in another
city, maybe Richmond.

So you don't wanna
be known as the mayor

who screwed the city
out of that, do ya?

>> No, not Richmond.

[ominous music]

>> Mr. Mayor.
>> How you doing?

>> Norman Flynn.
>> Yeah pleasure to meet you.

>> Good to meet you too.

The prime minister's
just rolling in.

The idea is he'll ride with you.

We'll have just
the two vehicles,

one behind, one ahead

and I'll ride up
front with the driver.

>> Sounds good.

>> Good, great.

>> All right,
we're all set then.

>> Here he comes.

[somber music]

>> Mr. Prime Minister.
>> Mr. Da Vinci.

>> Dominic: How you doing?

>> Finally we get to meet.

>> I know, I gotta
apologize to you.

>> You keep standing me up.

>> I gotta apologize about that.

We kinda had some
civic business I had.

Couldn't get away.

>> Well, I understand.

It's always like that,
some goddamn meeting

or another getting
in the way right?

>> It's in the way.

>> So we're going in your car?

>> I thought we would.

Under the radar that way.

And we'll just cruise the street

and you can see for
yourself how it's working.

>> That's fantastic.

Look, I brought you
a little something.

I hear you like red wine.

>> Oh, you got your information,
that's pretty solid!

>> Good.

>> Hey, thank you very much.

I appreciate it, thank you.

>> I'll just scoot in back here.

>> Okay.

Thank you Norman.
>> You're welcome sir.

>> Tell me, why do you think
this is gonna work here

when it's failed elsewhere?

>> Well it's because we
put it in the end of town

that really serves the
lower end of the trade.

So I don't think we're gonna
be seeing the sex tourists.

This is really for the poorer,

the drug addicted
workers, right?

It's not gonna cause
us any problems

like it did in
Amsterdam where there's

a sudden influx of sex trade
workers from the eastern bloc.

I don't see that happening here.

>> And why is this better
than placing these women

inside some building somewhere?

>> Well 'cause essentially
the trades in the cars.

It's a drive through service,

but those johns are not gonna
wanna go inside somewhere.

They want the anonymity.

The sex trade workers
want the anonymity,

plus we got the services.

Training if they want
a way out of the trade.

We got health services,
a clinic right in there.

>> And it's successful so far?

>> Yeah, no problems at all.

You know the way it
works, it's very simple.

A customer, a john pulls
up to a security barrier.

He pulls up there, the
constable takes a quick look,

you know a security check.

Then he goes along the
street, he picks out his date,

they drive around the corner
where we got a parking lot

and they put these partitions,

dividers between these stalls.

[sirens wail]
>> Excuse me, sir?

Looks like a situation.

[sirens wail]

[somber music]

>> Hi.

Good evening sir.

>> What's happening?

>> There's been a stabbing.

One of the johns
was having a dispute

with one of the prostitutes.

>> Right, okay.

Is it pretty serious?

>> Yes sir, it's a homicide.

>> Okay, thanks constable.

[sirens wail]
