DR.
CHENG: Your biopsy shows that you have a solitary spinal plasmacytoma, a low tumour in the lumbar spine.
You'll need to start a regular course of radiation, as soon as possible.

CHENG: Fatigue, nausea.
But you're free to work if you feel up to it.

You might need someone to take care of you.
[PHONE CHIMES.]
Hmm.
McAvoy.
Yeah, I'll be right there.
- [JUICE SPLATTERS.]
- Oh.
[FRUSTRATED EXHALE.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.]
Oh, sorry.
No, all good.
What's goin' on? You're takin' off someplace? Yeah, uh, I am uh, going to see Liam.
Big step.
Going to see Liam.
Yeah, you know, I'm just um Gonna stay open.
I'm just gonna see [INHALES.]
- Just gonna see.
- Good.
Liam is a good man.
Love isn't, just always enough.
Gonna feel my feelings, then we're just gonna take it from there.
Uh, what's your plans for today? Got a big day today.
I'm planning on catching a glimpse of my bird.
My actual dream bird.
If I'm just patient, I'm sure she'll come.
- [JENNY'S PHONE RINGS.]
- Have a good time, love.
I will.
Jenny Cooper.
Yeah.
Okay.
Where? [FOOTSTEPS SCUFF.]
[SIRENS WAIL.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[WORKERS SPEAKING.]
MALIK: Okay, okay, hold on.
One at a time.
Okay, so you found him when you started your rounds? Yeah.
I did my walk around and he was just there.
- Mm-hmm.
- Did you recognize him? No.
Probably one of the new guys.
You have to ask my supervisor.
Why don't I just take you guys over there, - and I'll take your statements.
- All right.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- JENNY: Hey.
- Hey.
Nice shirt.
Oh, I like to keep it vibrant around here.
So, our uh, our decedent is a security guard? Yeah, found him this morning.
What the hell happened here? Who are you? I'm the building owner.
I'm sorry about this unfortunate incident.
Little more than an incident when your employee dies.
Have your security guards been experiencing any problems lately? Oh, since we started gutting the place, we've had materials stolen.
Last month, we had 10 generators stolen, and now, another five last night.
It's chronic, and it's costing me! So, you think your security guard could've been killed trying to stop a robbery.
Can we keep this as quiet as possible? I-I'm trying to pre-sell in the low two millions here.
[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER.]
Not to be callous, of course.
No.
No-no.
Of course not.
So, what time did you show up this morning? Oh, usual time, 7:00, 7:45.

- Hey.
- Hey.
- Did you find anything? - Just this.
Mister Lester Benton.
Yeah, he was shot twice in the chest at close range.
Yeah, we found the shell casings down below.
Somebody's breakfast? Huh, could be something, could be nothing.
[PLASTIC CRINKLES.]
[LOUD BANG.]
[PANICKED EXHALES.]
If we get separated, go home.
[HUFFS.]
[KEYS TAP, LINE RINGS.]
MAN: If I'm the one you're lookin' for, leave a message or text me.
Peace.
Daddy, are you okay? I ran and got locked out, and I couldn't get back in, so I came home.
So, call me.
Please.
It's Rubee.
- Hey.
- Yo.
I hate death notifications, you know, - I never get used to 'em.
- Well, nobody does, trust me.
Nah, nah, it just uh - What? - That reminds me of when the police showed up at my house, to tell my mom my dad died.
Hit and run.
You know, never forget it.
The doorbell, the way my mom went to the door.
Anyways, it never stops affecting you emotionally, you know? I'll take lead on this, all right? No, no.
I'm good, Mac.
On the job, man.
[FOOTSTEPS THUD LIGHTLY.]
- [READYING EXHALE.]
- [KNOCKS ON DOOR.]
[LATCH CLICKS.]
Hello, sir.
I'm Detective Abed.
Are you related to Mr.
Lester Benton? I am Lester Benton.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Hmm.
MELANIE: It's a healed burn.
Yeah, I know, it's just, it's interesting.
RIVER: The bottom of these shoes are filthy.
Ugh.
Pigeon poop? Mm, gross.
Okay, so we've got a healed burn.
MELANIE: [ECHOEY VOICE.]
PC to confirm the gunshots were through and through.
RIVER: Poor Mr.
Benton.
JENNY: Time of death was last night.
Donovan.
Did you find anything? Well, uh, that's not Lester Benton.
What? Yeah, that ID he had on him was either lost or stolen, but that's not Lester.
Lester is alive and well, and living with wifey on the west side.
RIVER: His uniform is fake.
The label says "Costumes Are Us".
Okay, who would go to all the trouble to dress up like a security guard? Fake uniform, fake ID.
Maybe he wasn't interrupting the robbery.
Maybe he was doing the robbery.
Oh, God.
Something's draining from the nose.
River, pass me a swab.
[WET SQUISHY SOUND.]
DONAVON: What is it? I don't know.
Send it to the lab for testing.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
So, I steal a generator, it's heavy, I need two people.
We take it down the freight elevator.
- We load it into a van.
- Yeah.
And then we come back up to grab another generator.
We get into some sort of an argument, or a double-cross.
- Uh-huh.
- And - You shoot me? - Yeah, but Yeah, it's not adding up.
Why else would you come up here? [HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT.]
[DONOVAN GRUNTS.]
Should've worn some boots.
- That's what you get.
- Hmm.
[FOOTSTEPS SCUFF.]
Hm.
Damn it! Ugh! Ugh! [CHUCKLES.]
Hey, maybe our decedent was up here.
He had pigeon poop on his boot, too.
[CAN RATTLES.]
Hey, Jenny, check this out.
Blue spray paint.
[CAN RATTLES.]
What if the substance in his nose was paint? Yeah.
Higher and higher.
[LADDER RATTLES.]

[EFFORT GRUNTS.]
[SPRAY HISSES.]

Yeah.
[FOOTSTEPS THUD.]
- Hold my legs.
- What? No, that's dangerous, Jenny.
Why don't you Hold your yeah, - hold your legs? - Never mind, just, - Yeah.
- just be careful, all right? Yeah.
I will, I will, just - All right, careful.
- Okay, yep.
- You got me? - I got you.
Okay.
- All right, yep.
- All right.
All right.
- You got it? - Yeah.
[TRAFFIC RUMBLES BELOW, CAR HONKS.]
Good? [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
Okay, yep.
- You got it? - Mm-hmm.
We're not looking for a thief; we're looking for a graffiti artist.
Yeah.
[STREET TRAFFIC HUMS.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hopefully uh, our fourth graffiti store is the charm.
Yeah.
Oh, by the way, our dead man's fingerprints came back negative, so he's unknown to police.
Really? Yo, I'd never stock this brand.
This is like knock-off right here.
Only Fly-Foo Boy use them tips.
Yo, truthfully, - I'm gonna go look at the paints.
- this stuff I've been using this for 25 years, and it's so good.
All right, I'll be back later.
- Hey, how you doin', man? - Good, man.
How are you? Good, good.
I'm Detective McAvoy and I was just wondering if you could help me something, here.
You recognize this artist? Nah, sorry.
No serve "the ops" in here.
But if you want a sketchbook, Officer, aisle two.
[RAP MUSIC PLAYS.]
Thanks.
[PAPER RUSTLES.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Are these classes? - Yeah.
Oh.
What kind of artist are you? Oh, I'm more of an art lover, looking for an artist.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask you some questions.
- Hey, is that it? - Yeah, thanks.
Awesome.
- Who's the artist? - Oh, yeah, that's my stuff.
It's called "Truth.
" It's uh, it's available for sale, if you want.
Oh, uh [SMALL LAUGH.]
Yep, su Yeah, sure.
- I'll ring it up.
- Thanks.
Are you a graffiti artist? No, I came here about a month ago, for an aerosol class, but that's about it.
My work is more Sheltered, private.
Me, my canvas, my subjects.
Oh, "Explore the Human Form.
" And you're Karima Rite? Have you ever let anyone paint your portrait before? Portrait? [LAUGHS.]
No, no, that's not really my style.
I prefer to keep a low profile.
Uh, Jenny, Miss Rite would like to show us something.
Sure.
[BIRDS CHIRP.]
I'm under a lot of stress right now, okay.
It turns out that trying to become a massage therapist, in the middle of a pandemic, is complicated.
Oh, and then, there's Mateo, who's going back to Kingston, even though all of his courses are online.
Riddle me that.
I'm sorry, this is not about me.
This is about you.
[SIGHS.]
And Rodney, I activated the wrong chi, so I'm just gonna get that hooked back on there, and then, maybe we can start all over.
What do you say? I'm sorry, by the way.
This is so unorthodox.
You were pretty serious, then, about this massage therapy thing.
- Were ya? - Yes.
You're gonna be rubbing people for a living.
Yeah, I'm studying to be a massage therapist.
There's a lot of work.
As you were, private.
[SIGHS.]
Sorry about that.
Can't get any privacy here.
Um, why did I take this back off? [FOOTSTEPS THUD.]
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN AND CLOSES.]
[FOOTSTEPS THUD LIGHTLY.]
[HAY RUSTLES.]
BOTH: Hey.
Let me do that.
Aren't you the gentleman? - Hmm.
- [CHUCKLES.]
How's it goin' with Eloise? Have you managed to win her over yet? Uh, not yet.
She's stubborn.
- Hmm.
- That's all right.
I knew a horse like her when I was growing up.
- His name was Tabernac.
- [LAUGHS.]
Isn't that like, a swear word, or something? Yeah, my father had this idea, we would have a maple sugar business, and uh, we would have sleigh rides as part of it.
Hmm.
And uh, the horse was supposed to pull the sleigh, and my father would always go, "Tabernac, you stupid animal, pull the sleigh!" [CHUCKLES.]
Horses don't like being bossed around.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
He was a rescue horse and I was the only one who could ride him.
- Hmm.
- All right, listen.
Um - I'd like to stay on.
- In therapy? [SCOFFS.]
No.
This isn't a place to hide from your problems.
I'm not hiding.
I'm being honest.
Mm-hmm.
Hm.
[SMALL LAUGH.]
Wingz.
That's his tag? Yeah.
And no one knows who he is? He's a bit of an urban legend.
His pieces pop up in these inaccessible places overnight.
Spectacular, huh? It's a work of art.
People must be envious of his talents.
Do rival graff artists in the community ever get violent? Fighting with spray cans is one thing.
Violence? I don't know.
What are you looking at? These branch-like marks.
Okay, I saw the burn mark on his hand, but if there's the same one on his foot, it's pathognomonic for a lung condition.
Patho what for what? Wingz was struck by lightning.
That's where the marks came from.
Hey, aren't the odds of getting struck by lighting like 1 in 300,000? And he survives with just two burn marks.
How many people survive? It doesn't always effect them physically.
Sometimes it affects their personality.
Like, makes them more Risk-taking, obsessive.
I mean, people get struck by lightning, any metal that they're wearing, or holding, heats up, so the burn on his hand, could be from the spray can.
And the current exited through the sole of his foot.
Yeah.
The rubber on his sneakers could've insulated him.
Help lessen the physical damage.
Saved by his kicks.
He survived all that just to, be killed by gunshot.
Yeah, the uh, the lightning didn't kill him but, it's gonna help us figure out who he is.
- Hey, Alphonse, can you - Hey, JC, just making myself at home.
Whadda ya think? Little Basquiat, little Morrisseau.
Yeah.
Great, yeah.
Um I did find this, though, in the bottom desk drawer, and I'm just not sure if it's gonna go with my new décor.
I'll take that.
That was uh, that was Alison's.
- Alphonse, can you - At your service.
Great.
Can you check local hospitals.
We are looking for lightning strike patients.
Lightning strikes.
Got it.
No problem.
Oh, I can also contact The Weather Network, and get the dates of the latest recorded lightning strikes in the city.
- How's that? - Great.
Yeah, make it uh, make it within the last six months.
Yeah, I knew we'd be in sync.

Hey, uh, any luck? Reports of three lighting strike victims in the past six months.
One is a 45-year-old woman.
She died.
One is a male, survived, he's 70-years-old.
And uh, one more, is a 28-year-old male who survived.
That one.

I think a child may have witnessed the shooting.
Why? Egg drop test.
Ross had to do this when he was in middle school.
There's a picture of a kid on the fridge, here.
This could be her.
[CAR WHOOSHES BY.]
She's gone.
[FOOTSTEPS THUD.]
Yeah, Malik, I just sent you a picture.
Her name is Rubee Phillippe-Walker.
She's in grade 7, so 12 or 13.
She's a possible witness, and she may be with her suspect.
You got a description of the suspect? Not yet, but someone big enough to knock in a door.
Put a BOLO out on her.
I'll send you the name of her school; call them as well.
Okay, got it.
[KIDS SHOUT PLAYFULLY OUTSIDE.]
She was following in her father's footsteps.
She's smart, too.
Using a parachute for the egg drop.
I mean, most kids just pad it.
Now I get people don't wanna call the cops right now, but she's a kid, and she obviously needs help.
Yeah, she's spooked, she's running on adrenaline.
I mean, if you saw what she did, I mean, she's traumatized.
Thinking she has no one to depend on.
Yeah, and if she stops, then she's You know, then she's gonna start to Feel.

Um, sorry, for what? She's having brain surgery.

[SIRENS WAIL.]
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER.]
Hey.
Look what we found in his car.
They belong to Kallik Walker.
We found keys and entry cards for other buildings, and construction sites, as well.
And Since when are building security guards licensed to carry firearms? They're not.
So Ford is the inside man.
- Watch your head! - So, that night, Wingz snuck into the building, dressed as a security guard.
- Headed to the roof.
- Yeah.
Probably in the middle of painting on the side of the building, heard a noise, went down to check it out.
And there's Ford, real security guard.
Getting ready for his crew to arrive, steal a bunch of generators.
And Ford thought Wingz was real security.
Thought he was caught.
The end.
Man is dead and kid is left without a dad.
[SHARP EXHALE.]
You know, he lived, and he left a legacy, right.
- Eyes up.
- All right.
- [CRYING.]
- This isn't fair.
I know.
Rubee If you go with Detective McAvoy to the station and you tell them what you saw last night, the police are gonna be able to put away the man that hurt your father.
Okay? Okay.
You cold? Nah.
Your dad was an amazing artist.
He's the best artist Wingz.
My dad would go out every night, to bomb So when she opened her eyes, she'd see the greatest thing he ever created.
That's really beautiful.
He said that, whatever's in the sky, never dies.
He always says, "Rubee," "you've gotta be ready to risk everything," "for what you really want.
" That's why I chose my name, Risk-E.
Risk everything.
I really like your name.
I have to finish, before my mom wakes up.
