Runaway Train

I feel like I haven't
seen you in forever.
Wow, you're really burning
the candle at both ends.
Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.
That's okay, I've been busy too,
which is why I think, tonight,
we should grab dinner at Gio's,
and then we should go to
your place for dessert.
- We're on for tonight?
- For sure.
Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Look, I know we said
we'd go to Gio's tonight,
but I'm gonna have to get a raincheck.
When I was starting out,
there was this woman, Nadia.
Busted lip. Eyes swollen shut.
Lawyer got him off.
She went back to him, he killed her,
and he got off that, too.
And I would just ask these women why
"Why don't you just leave?"
Not once did I ever ask
the guy why he did it.
[KLASSEN] Listen, you should
see what he did to this guy.
Black and blue all over
Brambilla went after him?
- He nearly killed him.
- [VINCE] Go home
take your attitude and
your hangover out of here.
- Oh, come on, Vince!
- I'm this close
- to reporting you.
- Okay.

- Hey

Uh
I know we haven't seen
each other in awhile
maybe this week we can make an effort?
Yeah, that that sounds good.
Yeah, let's do that.
If I pull some strings, maybe I
can get us into that new Thai place
on 88th Thursday good?
Yeah. Yeah, great.
Uh, let's see how the week shapes up.
I have to take this.
[INDISTINCT EXCHANGE]
[VINCE] Morning.
Young man, Mateo, heard
a gunshot near his car.
Ran to the beach and found his
brother Nicolas floating in the water.
Another rower administered
CPR, but couldn't revive him.
He's certain it was a gunshot?
[VINCE] Others heard it too.
Marine Patrol is sweeping
the shoreline for the casing.
They were boating?
They'd just finished practice
with their canoe team.
All right. Thanks, Vince.
Yeah.
Which one's Mateo?
Kid sitting on the rock.
Lost his parents four years
ago to COVID, now his brother.
Gillian's running a
background check on Nicolas,
and I'm gonna go see if there
are any cameras in the area.
[MOODY THEME RISES]
[♪]
Dr. Nikki.
Detective.
Ligation marks on the neck.
Skin under his nails.
Clear sign of a struggle.
And the gunshot?
Well, no entry wound on his body.
Nicolas wasn't shot.
This was murder by strangulation.
All these people, no one saw anything?
Well, the treeline
is a pretty good cover
from the parking lot.
Mm, gunshot probably
went off in the struggle.
Oh, uh, Marine Patrol
just recovered a gun near the shore.
I'll take statements,
you check on the gun?
Yeah. You got it.
[♪]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[ZAK] Taylor and Ryan?
Can I talk to you, please?
Hey, can you tell me what happened?
I heard the shot.
At first, I wasn't
even sure it was a gun.
And Mateo?
He just took off toward the beach.
We followed behind him,
and saw Nic in the water.
[TAYLOR] Mateo pulled him out,
and I tried
I tried to bring him back.
[ZAK] I'm sorry. That
must've been difficult.
You both didn't see anyone?
[OVERLAPPING] No.
You practice here often?
Twice a week.
We're training for a charity event.
Nic and Mateo started the-the team
as a tribute to their mom.
She, uh, she used to race.
Can you think of anyone who
might want to harm Nicolas?
Everyone loved Nic.
[♪]
Okay. Thank you.
Mm. It's a spotless finish.
Looks fresh out of the box.
Serial number's filed off.
Let's fast-track an acid etch,
see if we can get some digits.
- [GILLIAN] Hey, Sabrina.
- Go, Gillian.
I've got a hit on Nicolas's background.
I found a restraining order
he filed four years ago
against his cousin, Cam Lenny,
also known as "Little Boss".
He just got out for serving time
on an assault charge.
What was the restraining order for?
Several altercations,
threats of violence, a vandalized car.
He's currently working
at the Eastborough Boxing Club.
Bolton says talk to Vince
he used to work out there.
All right. Copy that.
We'll bring Mateo in.
Keep him clear of the scene.
Vince and Gabby can take the gym.
[♪]
[PRACTICE BLOWS LANDING]
- Tony!
- [LAUGHS] Hey! Vinnie!
[CHUCKLING]
Good job, kid.
Look at you!
Still the pride of the old hood.
- Ah!
- And the new one too.
- [CHUCKLING]
- Hey.
- What do you say we lace them up?
- Aw, nah, nah
- Huh? We lace them up and go a round, huh?
- No, no.
This guy here he could
take a punch, you know.
I could throw a few too.
Yeah, yeah, I remember.
Took two weeks for that shiner to heal.
I'm so sorry about that.
- [PLAYFUL GROWLING]
- [LAUGHING]
Hey, um, we're looking
for one of your employees
Cam Lenny.
- "Little Boss."
- [TONY GROANS]
Not even gonna ask.
Thanks, Tony.
[CHUCKLES]
Cam Lenny?
Or do you prefer "Little Boss"?
Why are you bothering me at work?
Sorry to say that your
cousin, Nicolas Lenny, is dead.
He was found murdered in
Boundary Bay this morning.
We just need you to
come down to the station,
answer a few questions.
What're you sayin' I'm a suspect?
We just want to talk.
Well, I ain't going nowhere.
[LOUDER] You're willing
to risk your parole?
Where do you get off, huh?
I'm out here trying to do things right,
and you're gonna threaten me?
Why don't we just calm down?
[SHOUTS] Everybody! Take a good look!
All these pigs are all the same!
[SPITS]
You just had to make
this difficult, huh?
- [SNICKERING]
- Turn around. Shut up.
[LENNY] All right.
[GABBY] You're a real tough guy.
- [LENNY SNICKERS]
- Shut up.
You're gonna pay for this.
Did you just threaten an officer?
- Uh-huh.
- Sorry, Tony.
[SABRINA] Take me back
to this morning, Mateo.
You didn't see anyone else on the beach?
Anywhere?
No. [SIGHING]
Just Nic, in the water.
Mateo, I know that this is difficult
but were there any recent altercations?
Any bad break-ups?
Uh, no.
He-He lost his
his job a few months ago.
He was fired?
No, he was involved in a
condo project that went under.
What kind of involvement?
Nic was selling them.
He's a realtor.
He saw it as an opportunity
for us to invest,
so we took on a line of credit.
Against what? Your home?
150 grand.
We inherited that house
when our parents died.
Nic and I, we split everything
the bills, expenses
[QUIETLY] It was still our home.
And all your memories were there.
[SNIFFLES]
Tell me about the, uh, condo project.
It was a boutique condo building
the "Dartmouth".
Nic thought we could
make some real money,
but a year later, it all fell apart.
Sorry to hear that.
I know that his boss
was charged with fraud.
And Nic? Was he charged?
No, Nic had nothing to
do with the financing.
He lost 150,000 and he lost his job.
Well, that must have been tough on him.
Everything spiralled,
and my income alone wasn't enough.
Nic maxed out his credit cards.
Then they shut off our gas,
and we got a foreclosure notice.
I had no idea he wasn't paying the loan.
Could Nic have gotten involved in
something illegal to
help cover the bills?
No! No. Nic wouldn't do that.
But what about your
cousin Little Boss?
There's a restraining order against him.
Yeah, but he's in jail.
He was released three weeks ago.
He's out?
What happened between
him and your brother?
[LENNY] It was just a misunderstanding.
Threats, harassment,
showing up at their house at all hours.
You vandalized their vehicle.
A Jeep YJ?
I sold my uncle that car,
then I had to go away
for a short vacation.
When I got out, he only
paid me half the money.
Nic and Mateo's old man?
Yeah, that's right.
And when he passed away, you
figured it was a good time to collect?
Look, I'm the one who got screwed here!
- It's my car.
- But this time, when you went in,
you couldn't let it go, could you?
Spent a few years stewing it over.
You wanted Nic to pay.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
I just got out, man.
You think I'm that stupid?
Where were you this morning,
between five and eight?
At home, in bed.
Building's got cameras, man.
I didn't leave until 8:30.
We'll check on that.
Yeah, and while you're at it,
you might want to talk
to his friend, Taylor.
[♪]
"Taylor Sullivan"? From the canoe team?
Yeah, Nic owed him a lot of money.
And how do you know that?
I know a friend of his sister.
When people owe a shit-ton
of money, word gets 'round.
That house it was a circus.
Always a party, always trouble.
Well, it tracks that they partied.
There's a list of noise
complaints on file.
Mm, two brothers in their 20s,
with a house to themselves
that's no surprise.
[SABRINA] Well, they
were drowning in debt
and they received a foreclosure notice.
So Nic gets desperate and
borrows money from a friend.
Is that enough to get him killed?
Do a search on the Dartmouth.
It's a condo development
that went under
allegedly the brothers took out
a line of credit on their house
and invested 150,000 in it.
That's a decent sum.
The developer is Anil Anand.
He left a dozen investors high and dry.
All right, that gives us a cousin
that he had a restraining order against,
a friend he owed money to,
and a developer who stole
150K of our victim's money.
[BOLTON] That's quite the list.
Okay, pay the developer a visit.
In the meantime, we'll
bring the friend in.
I'll hold Mateo a little longer.
He could still be of help.
Yeah. Forensics pulled a
serial number off of our gun.
It's not registered in Canada.
- My money says the A.T.F. gets a match.
- Odds are, you're right.
Most of these street guns
come from south of the border.
Costs them nothing.
Costs us lives.
[♪]
Mr. Anand?
Detective Sohal. This is
my partner, Detective Kalaini.
[WEARILY] What is it now?
Your employee, Nicolas Lenny
- he was found deceased this morning.
- [ANIL] How did he die?
- [ZAK] He was strangled.
- Who did this?
That's why we're here
we're trying to get a
clearer picture of Nic's life.
I had to let Nicolas go.
It's been a tough year.
Yeah, we understand that
he was owed some money.
The development went bankrupt.
He was out 150,000. Is that correct?
That's a lot of scratch.
He couldn't have been
happy about losing it.
We all lost money.
You guys raided the
place. Froze my accounts.
Charged you with fraud.
I'm fighting that.
You and Nic have a falling out?
He wasn't happy,
but he understood
the funding dried up.
Our main financier dropped out.
When the cashflow stopped,
so did construction.
And your investors?
I can't even afford my lease.
I lost everything.
I don't have money to repay them.
Yeah, I bet that didn't go over well.
The Dartmouth was going to be
Surrey's finest boutique residence.
I poured everything into it.
Made a lot of promises.
Broken promises?
Maybe someone acted out on those,
thought you and Nic stole their money?
Has anyone come around asking for Nic?
No.
All right. What was
he like to work with?
A hard worker.
Ambitious.
I didn't want to let him go.
Where were you this morning,
between five and eight?
The hospital.
My wife has appendicitis.
I was at her side all night.
We're gonna need a
list of your investors.
Sabrina, we got a hit on your gun.
Uh, excuse me a moment.
Yeah, go, Gillian.
The gun has been traced
to a "Duanne Peters",
57 years of age.
He resides at one-two-four
37th Street, in Surrey.
He's a dual Canadian-U.S. citizen.
It's another cross-border piece?
Well, A.T.F. confirms he's
made 47 firearm purchases
in Washington State
over the past six months.
And there's no state-imposed limit?
They're almost encouraging it.
$500 purchase south of the border
turns into 5 grand on the street,
200K profit.
The firearms include
10 Glocks,
12 AK-47s,
seven Smith & Wesson 327s,
and the list goes on.
We have a search warrant.
Consider this guy armed and dangerous.

[ZAK KNOCKS LOUDLY]
[ZAK, SHOUTS] CFPC!
We're looking for Duanne Peters!
[DOOR OPENS]
Where's Duanne?
[SHAKILY] He's inside.
Please, step aside, ma'am.
[ALICIA] What is this about?
- Wait!
- [LOUDLY] Duanne Peters?
CFPC!
[ALICIA] Where are you going?
Please, don't hurt my brother.
[SABRINA] Don't move!
Hands where I can see them!
- Hands where I can see them!
- Hands up!
What's going on?
[♪]
He has dementia!
[TENSE THEME SWELLS]
What do you figure?
He doesn't look like he's in
any shape to be buying a gun.
My Uncle Omar had Alzheimer's.
Couldn't remember what he did
from one day to the next, but
on his good days, he
was pretty convincing.
You think he bought the
guns and forgot? 47 times?
My Uncle Omar spent a year
trying to rejoin the same gym, so
Sabrina.
[♪]
His son?
Now what is this all about?
We're investigating a string of
illegal firearms crossing the border
one of them connected to a murder.
And you think Duanne's involved?
Does he own any guns?
No! His son, Brock, turned
them into the police a year ago.
We felt it would be safer.
Do you ever take Duanne
cross-border shopping?
I don't, but Brock does
on his father's better days.
- How often?
- Not lately.
Duanne's condition has gotten worse.
They just used to grab
lunch and a few groceries.
- Where is Brock now?
- He's at a morning class at LMU.
[SABRINA] When does
he finish class today?
He should be done in an hour.
Okay. Thank you.
And we're sorry if we startled you.
[SABRINA] How do you know Nicolas Lenny?
Who?
You attended a real-estate
expo at the university.
Is that where you met?
No, I-I don't know who
you're talking about.
We have a record of
every border crossing
with your father over
the past six months.
They correspond with a long list of gun
purchases made in Washington State,
including the one found
in Nicolas's murder,
and it's quite the haul
and every one of them
in your father's name.
[♪]
Where are the guns, Brock?
Unless you want to watch
your ailing father rot in prison
it's best you come clean.
Okay, I bought them.
My dad thought that we were
buying them for his safety.
You took your father with
dementia gun shopping?
[ZAK] Day trips, when his
thinking is clear, is that it?
Knowing he won't recall
the purchase later?
Nice.
What'd you do with the guns?
I sold them.
I stashed them in lockers
at different train stations.
For who?
I don't know we never met.
They always left the money inside,
and I never stuck around
to see who picked them up.
How were you introduced?
[SIGHS]
A gun forum.
It gave me a password
to an email account,
and then we'd correspond inside
a message that was never sent.
And then last week, th-they said
that they were shutting down for a bit.
I swear, though I didn't
cross the border with any guns!
You think that makes it okay?
[ZAK] One of those guns
killed Nicolas Lenny.
You're complicit in a homicide, Brock.
Which means you're under
arrest for accessory to murder.
[BROCK'S BREATH HEAVES]
Buyer's gone dark.
Brock says they're laying low.
And Vice wasn't much help.
They're overwhelmed with
weapons crossing the border.
Cousin's and developer's
alibis check out.
- Where are we at with the rowing team?
- All clean.
Still working through the list
of investors out-of-pocket.
One of them might've bought a gun.
Or paid someone to.
Mateo's been cooperative, but
one thing doesn't add up.
Nicolas should've been notified
when Little Boss got out.
Standard protocol with a
restraining order in place.
Yeah, but Mateo didn't know.
Why wouldn't Nicolas tell him?
Maybe the brothers weren't
as close as he claims.
So I've been studying
Nicolas's call logs.
Repeated hits from a burner phone
two weeks before his death.
Calls trace back
to an I.P. registered to ProfitZen
it's a payroll firm in Surrey.
Meaning, the caller
was using a VOIP app
basically, Internet calling
to hide their communication
and the company has a cafeteria
on the main floor with public WiFi.
Any of the rowers or
investors have a tie to them?
- Cousin?
- No.
Well, we have the
friend, Taylor Sullivan,
who lent Nic money.
Let's see what he and Mateo have to say.
The whole condo thing
was shaky from the start.
That developer ripped Nic off.
Is that how Nic saw it?
That he was ripped off?
Yeah. The guy's so-called
"foreign financier"
was previously charged
with stock manipulation.
Nic's boss knew it too.
They worked at the same brokerage.
And Nic discovered this?
What did he do about it?
What could he do? The guy went bankrupt.
So you lent Nic money?
10 grand.
Ohh. Wow. That is a significant amount.
I've known Nic and
Mateo since we were kids.
- They'd do the same.
- What is it you do for a living?
I'm an engineer.
Transportation.
You know of anyone who works
for the company ProfitZen?
No.
Were you aware that your
brother owed money to Taylor?
From what I understand,
it was a substantial amount.
We needed to turn our gas back on.
You all right?
My brother was my only family.
It's okay to feel overwhelmed.
[CHOKES UP] I shouldn't
have left him alone.
Nic was targeted.
My father would blame me.
Look, we have someone
a counsellor that you can talk to.
I think it would be good
for you to speak to her.
[SNIFFLES AND GROANS]
I'm fine.
- I'll be fine.
- We'll have someone reach out anyway.
Mateo, do you know anyone
who works for ProfitZen?
Why?
Nic started receiving
calls from a burner phone
two weeks before his death.
They tie back to this company.
No, I don't I don't
know anyone who works there.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
I have a shift at the
airport I got to get to.
I can't afford to lose my job.
Given the circumstances
I can't sit at home.
Can I go?
Yes. Uh, yeah, of course.
[SIMMERING, TENSE THEME RISES]
[♪]
Mateo.
Taylor didn't know anything
about the payroll company.
[DOORS RUMBLING]
He became jumpy when I
asked about ProfitZen.
Suddenly remembered
he had to be at work.
What are you thinking?
His brother was just murdered
he's worried about his job?
He knows more than he's letting on.
Okay.
We'll put a tail on him.
Doesn't seem to be in any hurry.
No.
[♪]
"Vinnie," huh?
Didn't know you were a boxer.
I hit the bag now and then.
When'd you learn?
Grade school.
They taught you boxing?
No. I got into a fight at school.
It didn't go so well.
Came home bruised and bloodied.
[CHUCKLES WARMLY]
The old man was furious.
He dragged me into the garage
and threw a pair of gloves at my feet,
told me to put 'em on.
Ah. Your dad was tough, huh?
Not a man you argued with.
That's what the heavy bag was for.
[QUIETLY] Yeah, fathers and sons.
You going to meetings?

Hey, Mateo.
I'm Vince. We, uh, we met this morning.
I think we need to talk. Have a seat.
[♪]
The guy in the Mustang, who was he?
Uh, I don't know.
He had a gun. You saw that.
What-What are you doing here?
We're concerned for your safety.
What reason does someone
have to come after you?
There is no reason. I-I-I I'm fine.
You don't have to
handle this on your own.
Doesn't make you weak to ask for help.
Makes you smart.
Keeps you alive.
Something tells me you know
more than you've been saying.
If you're wrapped up in
something, I can help.
Just tell me what's going on.
Nothing. I'm I'm good.
- [POLICE RADIO SQUELCHING]
- Yeah?
[RADIO CRACKLING INDISTINCTLY]
Hey. Look at me.
You stay put, until we give

Hey.
Yeah.
[GABBY] Be advised, unit
23 has arrived on scene,
- and is holding perimeter.
- [GILLIAN] Copy.
Command, Mateo claims he
doesn't know the suspect.
Kid's not talking.
We'll have protection
detail stay on scene
- till we know more.
- Copy.
We have visual on the tracker.
Sohal and Kalaini in pursuit.

Gillian, ProfitZen's on
46th Street, is that correct?
Yeah. Two-one-seven 46th Street.

[EDGY, DARK THEME PLAYING]
[♪]
Hey, suspect's parked off of Scott Road.
It's an abandoned industrial site.
Hold for backup on arrival.
He's a block out from that company.
Abandoned industrial site
and a payroll company?
I don't see how they're connected.
[♪]
They're not. Gillian, ProfitZen's
across the street from a railyard.
Brock said he stashed the
guns in train station lockers.
What if the burner phone
connected to the company's WiFi
- from the railyard?
- Uh, yeah, it's-it's possible.
The network's range would be
about 300 feet, maybe more.
Check if anyone has
ties to the rail lines.
Taylor said he was an engineer.
Worked in transportation.
And he floated Nic 10 grand.
Taylor Sullivan and Ryan Weakes.
I'm looking at their team bios now.
Both are rail engineers.
Look for background checks.
Their employer would've screened them.
- Let's confirm their place of work.
- [GILLIAN] Mm-hmm.
I can confirm Ryan and Taylor
both work for Transcan Rail.
Their yard is located at
two-one-six 46th Street
across the street from ProfitZen.
Dispatching units to
the suspect's homes.
So these two used their burners
to connect to the
payroll company's WiFi.
They're not as smart as they thought.
They're bringing in guns by rail,
paying people like Brock
to purchase the weapons
and leave them in lockers.
And the brothers got mixed up in it.
[ENGINE ROARS]
[ZAK] Command, we're on the scene.
Entering the railyard now with backup.

and running from the cops
with a briefcase full of cash?
I'm not here to judge
I just want the truth.
Forensics is going through
your phone right now,
and they'll find all
sorts of information.
GPS will pin your
movements down to metres,
including where you were this morning,
from five to eight.
Make the smart choice.
[SNIFFS]
[DOOR THUMPS SHUT]
Give him a second, then
we'll start with the gun.
We linked the car to
Crescent Beach this morning
via traffic cams.
Vehicle belongs to his sister.
And Taylor and Ryan?
Uniforms checked their
homes. They're M.I.A.
Alerts are out at the
airports and border.
- [DOOR OPENING]
- [SABRINA] Well, Leo
the gun you were carrying
same make and model as the
one recovered on the scene
[DOOR THUMPS]
same filed-off serial number.
There's a lot of these
showing up on the streets lately.
Business must be good
for Taylor and Ryan.
[♪]
They call in a favour?
Offer you a briefcase of cash?
You give us the big
picture, and some of this
falls on the people
who put you up to it.
Yeah, it'll go a long way
to helping your sister out.
[♪]
Didn't I mention that her
car was spotted on the scene?
Mm. Traffic cams don't lie.
Officers are bringing her in right now.
You leave my sister out of this.
Well, that all depends on you.
You cooperate and we can talk.
And what do I get out of it?
We can't promise you anything
till we know what you're offering.
But I need to know that
you're gonna take care of me.
Your DNA is being tested
against samples taken from the victim.
We found soiled shoes
in the trunk of your car
that match sediment at the scene.
[SABRINA] And the briefcase
of cash on the passenger seat?
How are you gonna explain that?
Look! I'm just the middle man.
Okay?
I only move the guns.
They bring 'em in, I get 'em to buyers.
"They" being Taylor and Ryan?
And Nic and Mateo?
Nic was trying to blackmail 'em,
said he'd keep quiet for a price.
Well, how did he find
out what they were up to?
No idea.
And so you killed him?
No. I didn't kill anyone.
And the briefcase?
[♪]
It's an advance on guns.
There's a train headed south tonight.
[SABRINA] Taylor
Sullivan and Ryan Weakes
are running guns north on the rails.
They're due at work in several
hours, headed for Portland.
We'll coordinate with Tactical,
take them down on-site.
I don't know how these two could still
get into a canoe with the brothers.
Keep up appearances.
[GILLIAN] Sir! Mateo left the house.
Officers lost him in traffic.
[BOLTON] That's just great.
[SIGHING]
Mateo's in the wind. Where would he go?
If Nic never told Mateo
that their cousin was out of prison,
maybe he didn't tell him
about blackmailing Ryan and Taylor.
Mateo believed that his brother's murder
was tied to the condo fraud,
but he was wrong, he knew it
the moment that ProfitZen came up.
How would he know about the
phones accessing their WiFi?
He wouldn't, not unless he was involved.
And if that's true,
he's already figured out
that it was Ryan and
Taylor who made the calls.
Which means he's out
there looking for them.
Shit.
I have an idea where they are.
[♪]
Well, Mateo's only making
a bad situation worse.
Mm, there's a code with these kids
when you break it, it's personal.
That sounds like self-destruction.
Ah, I wouldn't expect you to understand.
What's that supposed to mean?
How much you pay in rent?
Oh, that's right, you don't.
Student loans?
None of those either?
Wow! Dad covered everything?
- Ouch.
- What? It's true!
These kids have to fight for every inch.
- I know what that's like.
- You went to law school.
I sure did! And I, uh,
have the loans to prove it.
You know, half my friends came
from families who struggled,
and none of them turned to
crime to solve their problems.
[♪]
Let's not allow anyone
else to get hurt, Leo.
If we don't stop this,
your name will be
attached to every victim.
That briefcase of cash
you had planned to hand it off,
but you would never do
that at the railyard.
You were there to meet
Taylor and Ryan, weren't you?
You've got nothing left to bargain with.
I want a reduced sentence.
Is that an admission to murder?
[♪]
Look, I get it.
They threatened your livelihood.
You were only protecting what was yours.
So why should you take
the fall for all of it?
It's like you said
you're just the middle man.

We were gonna meet at
the industrial site in 15.

Nic was blackmailing them, Mateo.
Wh-What is she talking about?
Why would you rat us out to him?
What? No. It-It wasn't like that!
[GILLIAN] Sabrina, I dug deeper
into Mateo's employment history.
He used to work for Transcan Rail
quit two years ago.
Mateo put the gun down.
You don't want to do this.
[ROARING] Leave me alone!
I said, don't come any closer!
[ROARING] You killed Nic!
And then you sent someone after me?
I-I could have talked to

You ordered a hit on Mateo?

[GILLIAN] Sabrina, heads up.
Mateo's job at Transcan had
him crossing the border too.
We know about the gun
smuggling, Mateo
and that you used to work at Transcan.
I also know how desperate you were.
No. I never smuggled guns.
Not one!
It was alcohol and cigarettes only.
I-I quit once they started all that!
This was my father's gun.
Then you made the right choice.
Don't make a bad one now.
You are not a killer.
Don't throw your life away.
[CRIES OUT] What life?
I have no one!
[YELLS] Stop talking!
I wish I'd never told
Nic what they were doing.
He'd still be alive!
We needed money.
[RAGING] I wanted your help !

[QUIETER, SHAKILY] but
Nic talked me out of it,
but I had no idea he'd blackmail you.

Illegal firearms importation,

not live to see trial.
- And Mateo?
- Well, there was knowledge of the smuggling,
illegal firearm possession

so he's not gonna get off easy.
He didn't act on anything.
'Kay, well, if he's

Young man, Mateo, heard
a gunshot near his car.
Ran to the beach and found his
brother Nicolas floating in the water.
Another rower administered
CPR, but couldn't revive him.
He's certain it was a gunshot?
[VINCE] Others heard it too.
Marine Patrol is sweeping
the shoreline for the casing.
They were boating?
They'd just finished practice
with their canoe team.
All right. Thanks, Vince.
Yeah.
Which one's Mateo?
Kid sitting on the rock.
Lost his parents four years
ago to COVID, now his brother.
Gillian's running a

and I'm gonna go see if there
are any cameras in the area.

Dr. Nikki.
Detective.
Ligation marks on the neck.
Skin under his nails.
Clear sign of a struggle.
And the gunshot?
Well, no entry wound on his body.
Nicolas wasn't shot.
This was murder by strangulation.
All these people, no one saw anything?
Well, the treeline
is a pretty good cover
from the parking lot.
Mm, gunshot probably
went off in the struggle.
Oh, uh, Marine Patrol
just recovered a gun near the shore.
I'll take statements,
you check on the gun?
Yeah. You got it.

Twice a week.
We're training for a charity event.
Nic and Mateo started the-the team

She, uh, she used to race.
Can you think of anyone who
might want to harm Nicolas?
Everyone loved Nic.

I've got a hit on Nicolas's background.
I found a restraining order
he filed four years ago
against his cousin, Cam Lenny,
also known as "Little Boss".
He just got out for serving time
on an assault charge.
What was the restraining order for?
Several altercations,
threats of violence, a vandalized car.
He's currently working

[SABRINA] Take me back
to this morning, Mateo.
You didn't see anyone else on the beach?
Anywhere?
No. [SIGHING]
Just Nic, in the water.
Mateo, I know that this is difficult
but were there any recent altercations?
Any bad break-ups?
Uh, no.
He-He lost his
his job a few months ago.
He was fired?
No, he was involved in a
condo project that went under.
What kind of involvement?
Nic was selling them.
He's a realtor.
He saw it as an opportunity
for us to invest,
so we took on a line of credit.
Against what? Your home?
150 grand.
We inherited that house
when our parents died.
Nic and I, we split everything
the bills, expenses
[QUIETLY] It was still our home.
And all your memories were there.
[SNIFFLES]
Tell me about the, uh, condo project.
It was a boutique condo building
the "Dartmouth".
Nic thought we could
make some real money,
but a year later, it all fell apart.
Sorry to hear that.
I know that his boss
was charged with fraud.
And Nic? Was he charged?
No, Nic had nothing to
do with the financing.
He lost 150,000 and he lost his job.
Well, that must have been tough on him.
Everything spiralled,
and my income alone wasn't enough.
Nic maxed out his credit cards.
Then they shut off our gas,
and we got a foreclosure notice.
I had no idea he wasn't paying the loan.
Could Nic have gotten involved in
something illegal to
help cover the bills?
No! No. Nic wouldn't do that.
But what about your
cousin Little Boss?
There's a restraining order against him.
Yeah, but he's in jail.
He was released three weeks ago.
He's out?
What happened between
him and your brother?
[LENNY] It was just a misunderstanding.
Threats, harassment,
showing up at their house at all hours.
You vandalized their vehicle.
A Jeep YJ?
I sold my uncle that car,
then I had to go away
for a short vacation.
When I got out, he only
paid me half the money.
Nic and Mateo's old man?
Yeah, that's right.
And when he passed away, you
figured it was a good time to collect?
Look, I'm the one who got screwed here!
- It's my car.
- But this time, when you went in,
you couldn't let it go, could you?
Spent a few years stewing it over.
You wanted Nic to pay.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
I just got out, man.
You think I'm that stupid?
Where were you this morning,
between five and eight?
At home, in bed.
Building's got cameras, man.
I didn't leave until 8:30.
We'll check on that.
Yeah, and while you're at it,
you might want to talk
to his friend, Taylor.
[♪]
"Taylor Sullivan"? From the canoe team?
Yeah, Nic owed him a lot of money.
And how do you know that?
I know a friend of his sister.
When people owe a shit-ton
of money, word gets 'round.
That house it was a circus.
Always a party, always trouble.
Well, it tracks that they partied.
There's a list of noise
complaints on file.
Mm, two brothers in their 20s,
with a house to themselves
that's no surprise.
[SABRINA] Well, they
were drowning in debt
and they received a foreclosure notice.
So Nic gets desperate and
borrows money from a friend.
Is that enough to get him killed?
Do a search on the Dartmouth.
It's a condo development
that went under
allegedly the brothers took out
a line of credit on their house
and invested 150,000 in it.
That's a decent sum.
The developer is Anil Anand.
He left a dozen investors high and dry.
All right, that gives us a cousin
that he had a restraining order against,
a friend he owed money to,
and a developer who stole
150K of our victim's money.
[BOLTON] That's quite the list.
Okay, pay the developer a visit.
In the meantime, we'll
bring the friend in.
I'll hold Mateo a little longer.
He could still be of help.
Yeah. Forensics pulled a
serial number off of our gun.
It's not registered in Canada.
- My money says the A.T.F. gets a match.
- Odds are, you're right.
Most of these street guns
come from south of the border.
Costs them nothing.
Costs us lives.
[♪]
Mr. Anand?
Detective Sohal. This is
my partner, Detective Kalaini.
[WEARILY] What is it now?
Your employee, Nicolas Lenny
- he was found deceased this morning.
- [ANIL] How did he die?
- [ZAK] He was strangled.
- Who did this?
That's why we're here
we're trying to get a
clearer picture of Nic's life.
I had to let Nicolas go.
It's been a tough year.
Yeah, we understand that
he was owed some money.
The development went bankrupt.
He was out 150,000. Is that correct?
That's a lot of scratch.
He couldn't have been
happy about losing it.
We all lost money.
You guys raided the
place. Froze my accounts.
Charged you with fraud.
I'm fighting that.
You and Nic have a falling out?
He wasn't happy,
but he understood
the funding dried up.
Our main financier dropped out.
When the cashflow stopped,
so did construction.
And your investors?
I can't even afford my lease.
I lost everything.
I don't have money to repay them.
Yeah, I bet that didn't go over well.
The Dartmouth was going to be
Surrey's finest boutique residence.
I poured everything into it.
Made a lot of promises.
Broken promises?
Maybe someone acted out on those,
thought you and Nic stole their money?
Has anyone come around asking for Nic?
No.
All right. What was
he like to work with?
A hard worker.
Ambitious.
I didn't want to let him go.
Where were you this morning,
between five and eight?
The hospital.
My wife has appendicitis.
I was at her side all night.
We're gonna need a
list of your investors.
Sabrina, we got a hit on your gun.
Uh, excuse me a moment.
Yeah, go, Gillian.
The gun has been traced
to a "Duanne Peters",
57 years of age.
He resides at one-two-four
37th Street, in Surrey.
He's a dual Canadian-U.S. citizen.
It's another cross-border piece?
Well, A.T.F. confirms he's
made 47 firearm purchases
in Washington State
over the past six months.
And there's no state-imposed limit?
They're almost encouraging it.
$500 purchase south of the border
turns into 5 grand on the street,
200K profit.
The firearms include
10 Glocks,
12 AK-47s,
seven Smith & Wesson 327s,
and the list goes on.
We have a search warrant.
Consider this guy armed and dangerous.

[ALICIA] Where are you going?
Please, don't hurt my brother.
[SABRINA] Don't move!
Hands where I can see them!
- Hands where I can see them!
- Hands up!
What's going on?
[♪]
He has dementia!
[TENSE THEME SWELLS]
What do you figure?
He doesn't look like he's in
any shape to be buying a gun.
My Uncle Omar had Alzheimer's.
Couldn't remember what he did
from one day to the next, but
on his good days, he
was pretty convincing.
You think he bought the
guns and forgot? 47 times?
My Uncle Omar spent a year
trying to rejoin the same gym, so
Sabrina.
[♪]
His son?
Now what is this all about?
We're investigating a string of
illegal firearms crossing the border
one of them connected to a murder.
And you think Duanne's involved?
Does he own any guns?
No! His son, Brock, turned
them into the police a year ago.
We felt it would be safer.
Do you ever take Duanne
cross-border shopping?
I don't, but Brock does
on his father's better days.
- How often?
- Not lately.
Duanne's condition has gotten worse.
They just used to grab
lunch and a few groceries.
- Where is Brock now?
- He's at a morning class at LMU.
[SABRINA] When does
he finish class today?
He should be done in an hour.
Okay. Thank you.
And we're sorry if we startled you.
[SABRINA] How do you know Nicolas Lenny?
Who?
You attended a real-estate
expo at the university.
Is that where you met?
No, I-I don't know who
you're talking about.
We have a record of
every border crossing
with your father over
the past six months.
They correspond with a long list of gun
purchases made in Washington State,
including the one found
in Nicolas's murder,
and it's quite the haul
and every one of them
in your father's name.
[♪]
Where are the guns, Brock?
Unless you want to watch
your ailing father rot in prison
it's best you come clean.
Okay, I bought them.
My dad thought that we were
buying them for his safety.
You took your father with
dementia gun shopping?
[ZAK] Day trips, when his
thinking is clear, is that it?
Knowing he won't recall
the purchase later?
Nice.
What'd you do with the guns?
I sold them.
I stashed them in lockers
at different train stations.
For who?
I don't know we never met.
They always left the money inside,
and I never stuck around
to see who picked them up.
How were you introduced?
[SIGHS]
A gun forum.
It gave me a password
to an email account,
and then we'd correspond inside
a message that was never sent.
And then last week, th-they said
that they were shutting down for a bit.
I swear, though I didn't
cross the border with any guns!
You think that makes it okay?
[ZAK] One of those guns
killed Nicolas Lenny.
You're complicit in a homicide, Brock.
Which means you're under
arrest for accessory to murder.
[BROCK'S BREATH HEAVES]
Buyer's gone dark.
Brock says they're laying low.
And Vice wasn't much help.
They're overwhelmed with
weapons crossing the border.
Cousin's and developer's
alibis check out.
- Where are we at with the rowing team?
- All clean.
Still working through the list
of investors out-of-pocket.
One of them might've bought a gun.
Or paid someone to.
Mateo's been cooperative, but
one thing doesn't add up.
Nicolas should've been notified
when Little Boss got out.
Standard protocol with a
restraining order in place.
Yeah, but Mateo didn't know.
Why wouldn't Nicolas tell him?
Maybe the brothers weren't
as close as he claims.
So I've been studying
Nicolas's call logs.
Repeated hits from a burner phone
two weeks before his death.
Calls trace back
to an I.P. registered to ProfitZen
it's a payroll firm in Surrey.
Meaning, the caller
was using a VOIP app
basically, Internet calling
to hide their communication
and the company has a cafeteria
on the main floor with public WiFi.
Any of the rowers or
investors have a tie to them?
- Cousin?
- No.
Well, we have the
friend, Taylor Sullivan,
who lent Nic money.
Let's see what he and Mateo have to say.
The whole condo thing
was shaky from the start.
That developer ripped Nic off.
Is that how Nic saw it?
That he was ripped off?
Yeah. The guy's so-called
"foreign financier"
was previously charged
with stock manipulation.
Nic's boss knew it too.
They worked at the same brokerage.
And Nic discovered this?
What did he do about it?
What could he do? The guy went bankrupt.
So you lent Nic money?
10 grand.
Ohh. Wow. That is a significant amount.
I've known Nic and
Mateo since we were kids.
- They'd do the same.
- What is it you do for a living?
I'm an engineer.
Transportation.
You know of anyone who works
for the company ProfitZen?
No.
Were you aware that your
brother owed money to Taylor?
From what I understand,
it was a substantial amount.
We needed to turn our gas back on.
You all right?
My brother was my only family.
It's okay to feel overwhelmed.
[CHOKES UP] I shouldn't
have left him alone.
Nic was targeted.
My father would blame me.
Look, we have someone
a counsellor that you can talk to.
I think it would be good
for you to speak to her.
[SNIFFLES AND GROANS]
I'm fine.
- I'll be fine.
- We'll have someone reach out anyway.
Mateo, do you know anyone
who works for ProfitZen?
Why?
Nic started receiving
calls from a burner phone
two weeks before his death.
They tie back to this company.
No, I don't I don't
know anyone who works there.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
I have a shift at the
airport I got to get to.
I can't afford to lose my job.
Given the circumstances
I can't sit at home.
Can I go?
Yes. Uh, yeah, of course.
[SIMMERING, TENSE THEME RISES]
[♪]
Mateo.
Taylor didn't know anything
about the payroll company.
[DOORS RUMBLING]
He became jumpy when I
asked about ProfitZen.
Suddenly remembered
he had to be at work.
What are you thinking?
His brother was just murdered
he's worried about his job?
He knows more than he's letting on.
Okay.
We'll put a tail on him.
Doesn't seem to be in any hurry.
No.
[♪]
"Vinnie," huh?
Didn't know you were a boxer.
I hit the bag now and then.
When'd you learn?
Grade school.
They taught you boxing?
No. I got into a fight at school.
It didn't go so well.
Came home bruised and bloodied.
[CHUCKLES WARMLY]
The old man was furious.
He dragged me into the garage
and threw a pair of gloves at my feet,
told me to put 'em on.
Ah. Your dad was tough, huh?
Not a man you argued with.
That's what the heavy bag was for.
[QUIETLY] Yeah, fathers and sons.
You going to meetings?

Hey, Mateo.
I'm Vince. We, uh, we met this morning.
I think we need to talk. Have a seat.
[♪]
The guy in the Mustang, who was he?
Uh, I don't know.
He had a gun. You saw that.
What-What are you doing here?
We're concerned for your safety.
What reason does someone
have to come after you?
There is no reason. I-I-I I'm fine.
You don't have to
handle this on your own.
Doesn't make you weak to ask for help.
Makes you smart.
Keeps you alive.
Something tells me you know
more than you've been saying.
If you're wrapped up in

Nothing. I'm I'm good.

[TENSE THEME POUNDING]

Gillian, ProfitZen's on

Yeah. Two-one-seven 46th Street.
[SABRINA] Zak, you remember how jumpy

Suspect's three blocks out,
headed in that direction.

[TENSE THEME GROWS]
[♪]
[EDGY, DARK THEME PLAYING]
[♪]
Hey, suspect's parked off of Scott Road.
It's an abandoned industrial site.
Hold for backup on arrival.
He's a block out from that company.
Abandoned industrial site
and a payroll company?
I don't see how they're connected.
[♪]
They're not. Gillian, ProfitZen's
across the street from a railyard.
Brock said he stashed the
guns in train station lockers.
What if the burner phone
connected to the company's WiFi
- from the railyard?
- Uh, yeah, it's-it's possible.
The network's range would be
about 300 feet, maybe more.
Check if anyone has
ties to the rail lines.
Taylor said he was an engineer.
Worked in transportation.
And he floated Nic 10 grand.
Taylor Sullivan and Ryan Weakes.
I'm looking at their team bios now.
Both are rail engineers.
Look for background checks.
Their employer would've screened them.
- Let's confirm their place of work.
- [GILLIAN] Mm-hmm.
I can confirm Ryan and Taylor
both work for Transcan Rail.
Their yard is located at
two-one-six 46th Street
across the street from ProfitZen.
Dispatching units to
the suspect's homes.
So these two used their burners
to connect to the
payroll company's WiFi.
They're not as smart as they thought.
They're bringing in guns by rail,
paying people like Brock
to purchase the weapons
and leave them in lockers.
And the brothers got mixed up in it.
[ENGINE ROARS]
[ZAK] Command, we're on the scene.
Entering the railyard now with backup.

[CITY DIN HUMMING]
You want a coffee, Leo?
Soda?
[DOOR THUMPS SHUT]
You know, I know that things
aren't always as they appear.
Why don't you explain to me why
you were pointing a gun at Mateo
and running from the cops
with a briefcase full of cash?
I'm not here to judge
I just want the truth.
Forensics is going through
your phone right now,
and they'll find all
sorts of information.
GPS will pin your
movements down to metres,
including where you were this morning,
from five to eight.
Make the smart choice.
[SNIFFS]
[DOOR THUMPS SHUT]
Give him a second, then
we'll start with the gun.
We linked the car to
Crescent Beach this morning
via traffic cams.
Vehicle belongs to his sister.
And Taylor and Ryan?
Uniforms checked their
homes. They're M.I.A.
Alerts are out at the
airports and border.
- [DOOR OPENING]
- [SABRINA] Well, Leo
the gun you were carrying
same make and model as the
one recovered on the scene
[DOOR THUMPS]
same filed-off serial number.
There's a lot of these
showing up on the streets lately.
Business must be good
for Taylor and Ryan.
[♪]
They call in a favour?
Offer you a briefcase of cash?
You give us the big
picture, and some of this
falls on the people
who put you up to it.
Yeah, it'll go a long way
to helping your sister out.
[♪]
Didn't I mention that her
car was spotted on the scene?
Mm. Traffic cams don't lie.
Officers are bringing her in right now.
You leave my sister out of this.
Well, that all depends on you.
You cooperate and we can talk.
And what do I get out of it?
We can't promise you anything
till we know what you're offering.
But I need to know that
you're gonna take care of me.
Your DNA is being tested
against samples taken from the victim.
We found soiled shoes
in the trunk of your car
that match sediment at the scene.
[SABRINA] And the briefcase
of cash on the passenger seat?
How are you gonna explain that?
Look! I'm just the middle man.
Okay?
I only move the guns.
They bring 'em in, I get 'em to buyers.
"They" being Taylor and Ryan?
And Nic and Mateo?
Nic was trying to blackmail 'em,
said he'd keep quiet for a price.
Well, how did he find
out what they were up to?
No idea.
And so you killed him?
No. I didn't kill anyone.
And the briefcase?
[♪]
It's an advance on guns.
There's a train headed south tonight.
[SABRINA] Taylor
Sullivan and Ryan Weakes
are running guns north on the rails.
They're due at work in several
hours, headed for Portland.
We'll coordinate with Tactical,
take them down on-site.
I don't know how these two could still
get into a canoe with the brothers.
Keep up appearances.
[GILLIAN] Sir! Mateo left the house.
Officers lost him in traffic.
[BOLTON] That's just great.
[SIGHING]
Mateo's in the wind. Where would he go?
If Nic never told Mateo
that their cousin was out of prison,
maybe he didn't tell him
about blackmailing Ryan and Taylor.
Mateo believed that his brother's murder
was tied to the condo fraud,
but he was wrong, he knew it
the moment that ProfitZen came up.
How would he know about the
phones accessing their WiFi?
He wouldn't, not unless he was involved.
And if that's true,
he's already figured out
that it was Ryan and
Taylor who made the calls.
Which means he's out
there looking for them.
Shit.
I have an idea where they are.
[♪]
Well, Mateo's only making
a bad situation worse.
Mm, there's a code with these kids
when you break it, it's personal.
That sounds like self-destruction.
Ah, I wouldn't expect you to understand.
What's that supposed to mean?
How much you pay in rent?
Oh, that's right, you don't.
Student loans?
None of those either?
Wow! Dad covered everything?
- Ouch.
- What? It's true!
These kids have to fight for every inch.
- I know what that's like.
- You went to law school.
I sure did! And I, uh,
have the loans to prove it.
You know, half my friends came
from families who struggled,
and none of them turned to
crime to solve their problems.
[♪]
Let's not allow anyone
else to get hurt, Leo.
If we don't stop this,
your name will be
attached to every victim.
That briefcase of cash
you had planned to hand it off,
but you would never do
that at the railyard.
You were there to meet
Taylor and Ryan, weren't you?
You've got nothing left to bargain with.
I want a reduced sentence.
Is that an admission to murder?
[♪]
Look, I get it.
They threatened your livelihood.
You were only protecting what was yours.
So why should you take
the fall for all of it?
It's like you said
you're just the middle man.

Everything is because

Why were you phoning
Nic with the burner?
You're on his call logs!
Nic was blackmailing them, Mateo.
Wh-What is she talking about?
Why would you rat us out to him?
What? No. It-It wasn't like that!
[GILLIAN] Sabrina, I dug deeper
into Mateo's employment history.
He used to work for Transcan Rail
quit two years ago.
Mateo put the gun down.
You don't want to do this.
[ROARING] Leave me alone!
I said, don't come any closer!
[ROARING] You killed Nic!
And then you sent someone after me?
I-I could have talked to
him! I-I could've stopped him!

You ordered a hit on Mateo?

I didn't want this!
This was not my idea!
He was only supposed to scare Nic!

You've taken this too far!
Now you're turning on me?
We're only here because of you!
Don't point that at me!

[BOLTON] I don't like it.
We don't need any heroics.
- Your call, Kalaini.
- I'm clearing her to move.
[GILLIAN] Sabrina, heads up.
Mateo's job at Transcan had
him crossing the border too.
We know about the gun
smuggling, Mateo
and that you used to work at Transcan.
I also know how desperate you were.
No. I never smuggled guns.
Not one!
It was alcohol and cigarettes only.
I-I quit once they started all that!
This was my father's gun.
Then you made the right choice.
Don't make a bad one now.
You are not a killer.
Don't throw your life away.
[CRIES OUT] What life?
I have no one!
[YELLS] Stop talking!
I wish I'd never told
Nic what they were doing.
He'd still be alive!
We needed money.
[RAGING] I wanted your help !

[QUIETER, SHAKILY] but
Nic talked me out of it,
but I had no idea he'd blackmail you.

What charges are we looking at?
Illegal firearms importation,

first-degree murder,
attempted murder
the list is long,

not live to see trial.

- Well, there was knowledge of the smuggling,
illegal firearm possession
and planned retaliation,
so he's not gonna get off easy.
He didn't act on anything.
'Kay, well, if he's
