King (2011) s01e04 Episode Script
Eleni Demaris
[Girl.]
: I told you, I'm not going in.
She's your mother, not mine.
Kyle won't die if he doesn't get a text from you every 10 seconds.
Not Kyle; Duncan.
Oh, my God, this is insane.
Boys like it when you ignore them.
How would you know? The last time you were on a date, I wasn't even born yet.
Come on, let's go.
It's been ages since grandma's seen you.
And I haven't changed, like, at all.
[Sighing.]
Hey, mom? I got your prescription.
Mom? [Moaning quietly.]
Oh, my God.
[Yelling.]
[Music in headphones.]
[Yelling.]
[Yelling.]
[Horn honking.]
[Grunting.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Police siren.]
[Monitors beeping.]
How is she? Fractured ribs, head trauma.
They're gonna do an MRI and check to see if there's a subdural hematoma.
- How's the grandmother? - Tough lady.
Neck bruising, irregular heartbeat, but stable.
They're gonna keep her here for observation.
Paul Graci.
Hello? Hello? Hello? What? No.
No.
I'm on my way Bad reception.
To hell with it.
- How's Dawn? They can't wait till I get there.
- Dawn? - Demaris' daughter.
- Daughter, right.
Danielle.
- Danielle? What? No, Dawn.
No, I was just talking to her, I was calling her Danielle.
She didn't correct me.
- Maybe she was trying to be polite.
[Sighing.]
The girl's family's beaten to a pulp, and I didn't know her name? - Sir?? She was outside when it happened.
Dawn is upset, but she's not hurt.
Robbery squad was at the scene, taking statements.
They had a similar home invasion yesterday: Senior strangled with a towel, stolen meds, credit cards, the whole nine yards.
Anything on the assailant? Not yet.
But Ray will keep you in the loop.
You're leaving this with robbery? They have a line on this one.
Ray will loop you in.
- Ray Arnold is a Neanderthal.
- Demaris is on your team.
Appearance of conflict.
Optics are everything.
- Chief!! - You're in the loop, King! - Sir - Apologize to the girl on my behalf.
Call me the minute there's any news on Detective Demaris, hmm? [Police siren.]
[Traffic noise.]
I already told them.
I said I didn't see anything or anybody, ok? Dawn.
- What? - Stop texting.
- They're my friends.
- Then they'll wait.
The last time you saw your gran, did she say anything about any prowlers or strangers in the neighborhood? I don't know.
Why does everyone keep asking me? - Dawn.
- What? Finger cancer.
All those Internet rays.
Very bad.
[Boots squeaking.]
I need your help here.
It's not my fault.
No one said it was.
I haven't seen grandma in ages, and And mom was mad at me, and - Ok.
All right.
I need to go to the washroom.
I hate the smell of hospitals.
Always have.
Wanna get some air? Ray.
Jessica King, leaving you another message.
Where's MK and Collier? Told them to go straight to the shop.
What's up with gran? - Heavily sedated.
- A description? Anything? - Uh, yeah.
"Big.
" - "Big.
" That's it? Nothing from robbery, huh? Left brother Ray 3 messages.
Nothing.
You ok? No.
You? No, not really, no.
Hey, Demaris is gonna be ok.
It's cold out here.
Hey.
- What's going on out there? I just Demaris is I just needed a place to think.
That's all.
Can I be with her? I wanna be with her.
Clear the way, please.
Honey, you have to stay here.
Do we have to sleep here? Spears, can you take Dawn back to the waiting area? Sure.
Come on, Dawn.
Ok, someone's gotta be with her.
Either here or take her home.
- Where's her father? Left when she was 7.
I gotta get back to the office.
We're already behind on this.
I'm in the middle of surveillance right now.
I can't bail on my team.
They'll kill me.
What about Spears? - No, I need him.
- For what, a back rub? Don't.
Jess.
You know what? The girl's got friends, right, her friends have parents Danny.
If she was our kid, we'd want someone we trust to watch her, right? All right, I'll make a call.
I'll get someone to cover for me.
[Police radio chatter.]
Ok, where are we? - Robbery stonewalled us.
- And you let them? Do those guys have opposable thumbs? We couldn't even find the file on the system.
[Spears.]
: Are we looking at a sexual motive here, or No.
In both incidents, the assailant wore a mask.
Grabbed cash, grabbed jewelry, wiped the cabinet for meds, took bank cards.
- Are we tracking withdrawals? - Robbery is.
It's their case.
Looked up the towel M.
O.
Got a match: Dade Reilly.
Just out of prison 2 weeks ago.
- What was he in for? Mugging people when they got out of bank machines.
Wraps a towel around their neck, chokes them until they cough up the cash.
Get his parole officer on the phone.
Doesn't have one.
Dade served his full sentence for armed robbery.
His arresting officer was Ray Arnold.
Ok, I'm looking for Ray.
Hey, I know it's Demaris and everything, but the chief's ok with this, right? King.
You think you can just flash them a smile and they'll hand the case over? The chief wants Ray and his boys to handle this.
That's what he wants.
That's not what Demaris needs.
There are cases best handled by a guy with a thick neck.
Robbery's reputation is for inventive uses of the phone book, not for their stellar conviction rate.
Help me with my boots.
- What? Please.
My feet are baking.
They're a pain in the butt to get off.
Graci's not your enemy on this one.
- It's not about optics, is it? - No, it's not.
Graci knows that robbery sees this scum all the time and he knows how they deal with them.
A cop goes down, all bets are off.
Stay clear of this one, Jess.
Why? So the guy who did it can get off on a technicality, like a broken jaw or internal haemorrhaging? I don't want the guy who did this in hospital; I want him in jail.
Tiggs just called.
Ray is booking Dade Reilly downstairs right now.
- Ray Arnold.
- Detective Sergeant King.
You never call anymore.
- So this is Dade Reilly? Look at that eye.
You want to tell me what happened? Hey, who the hell are you talking to? My case, my suspect.
Show starts in 5.
You're welcome to watch.
Unless you're late for a wax job or something.
I wouldn't want to hold you up.
This is nuts.
It say anywhere in that book of yours that I bust into houses and beat up old ladies? Where were you last night? I told you.
I was at my brother's all weekend.
Ask him.
- The brother.
Who works nights.
What's his name? - Kelvin.
Kelvin.
[Chuckling.]
Where does Kelvin work? - Bunch of places a place on Victoria maybe.
- Hmm.
Towel as a lethal weapon.
That's cute.
Where'd you get that idea? - The bathroom.
How the hell should I know? Look, dude, you got the wrong guy.
I like old ladies.
In fact, I'm late to go see my granny right now.
Let me tell you where you really screwed up, Dade.
See, one of the people that you assaulted is a police officer.
No, man.
That's not my thing.
I would never do that.
I swear.
- Oh, you'll swear, and you'll pray.
Hurt one, hurt us all.
[Cell phone buzzing.]
[Camera snapping shots.]
Hank Odum.
Keeper of the flame for the good suit squad.
How's life in homicide, huh? Not nearly as much fun since this one got kicked to the curb.
Got a hickey or is your collar supposed to be that high? I should be so lucky.
Just caught this case.
Looking like it's tied to Demaris' beat down.
Same deal bruising around the neck; Cash, jewelry gone; medicine cabinet swept.
Mr.
Bill Walderson.
He used to play violin at night.
Neighbour said she hadn't heard him in a while.
Came over to check on him.
Stupid mess for a couple of bucks.
Looks like Bill didn't make it easy on him.
If you gotta go, go out fighting.
- [Spears.]
: That's my plan.
- I asked the ident guys to check under the fingernails for DNA.
He got choked from behind like our others.
Doubt he got a grip on our suspect.
Chocolate covered almonds.
Guess I can't eat the evidence? He lived alone? Any family pictures? Just the one.
Uh a curly-haired girl from the '50s, looks like.
Wedding ring and a funeral notice in an envelope tucked in the back of the frame.
If he needed another wife, he should've called me.
Between you and me, we could start a business: "Used spouses.
Cheap.
" I don't know about you, kiddo, but my exes ain't cheap.
Time of death? Uh, lividity, no rigor.
Couple days.
I wonder how many more old folks we'll find like this? So, how do you guys want to play this? Murder means robbery's file on this comes to me.
I can run with it.
- Or you could pass it on to us.
- That's a bit of a stunt.
Demaris is one of ours.
Save me the headache of dealing with Ray and his crew.
I hate those guys.
What do you say, King, huh? All this could be yours.
- I'll take it.
- Done.
Someone should tell Ray we're on this.
Can't we just let him find out on Twitter? What's up? - Hey.
We've got a problem.
- Demaris? No, no, I called in.
Eleni came through with flying colours.
- That's good news.
- Still hasn't woken up, though.
She's gonna be fine, Dawn.
They are keeping her under.
They're monitoring her swelling in her brain and the pressure.
I'll talk to Ray.
Thanks.
I brought these for you.
It's a change of clothes.
And I thought you might've forgot your shot.
- Oh.
Oh, I still have an hour.
Thanks.
School? - Yeah, that's the problem.
Dawn was suspended last week for fighting.
Fighting? And she doesn't want to wait at the hospital.
She wants me to drop her at Dudes Square.
Danny, I'm in deep here.
This is not just about Demaris anymore; It's a murder case.
I got a meeting with proceeds of crime in like 10 minutes.
Look, I'll just go to my boyfriend's.
- Isn't he in school? He quit ages ago.
Ok.
My turn.
I don't need a babysitter.
I am a babysitter.
Look, I have a cell phone.
You can just You understand that we're working really hard to try to find the man that assaulted your mom, right? - I'm not stupid.
- Then stop acting like you are.
Wow, need some sleep much? Guys, remember Dawn? Be really great if you could find her something fun to do while we work.
- Ok, sure, no problem.
- Come on in.
Boss, I finally heard back from robbery.
Looks like our guy didn't use any of the stolen cards at bank ATMs.
So he used dinky little private machines.
Most of which don't have built-in security cameras.
Ok, go through the withdrawals and nail down where the machines are that he used.
Yeah, that info is with Ray's guys.
- Then get it up here.
- Can I get online? Sure.
You can use your mom's computer over there.
Is this our case now? The murder made it homicide, homicide passed it on to us, and Ray can crawl back under his rock.
Spears and I are going to check out Dade's alibi.
So, Kelvin, you can't say with any certainty that your brother Dade Half-brother.
Ok, you're sure he wasn't at your house on those nights? I don't know.
He's in and out.
I'm never there, right? So I don't keep track.
So no.
But not with, like, certainty.
So since he's been out of jail, has he been buying any new clothes, any new pieces of jewellery? No.
If he did, he'd be flashing that stuff around.
What hours do you work, Kelvin? I got the lunch shift here, noon till 9.
Then I work the graveyard shift at the impound.
That one's midnight till 5 in the morning.
Some days I pick up a shift at a call centre.
That one's the worst.
- Tell me about it.
- Three jobs, huh? Gotta pay the bills.
- Dade helps out though, right? - Na, he's always broke.
Drinks my beer, eats my food.
- So why don't you kick him out? - Turn my back on family? You don't have to turn your back, just have to lock your door.
Yeah, well, Dade, he'd find a way to get in, you know what I'm sayin'? [Man.]
: Kelvin, you working or not? I gotta get back before the rush.
If you think of anything else, just give us a call.
Thanks a lot for your time.
You wanna put my brother back in jail, I'm not gonna stop you.
Be good to get my couch back.
Back in the day, though, Dade was a good kid.
He made us all laugh.
I keep thinkin' some day that guy'll come back.
[Spears.]
: Thanks.
Well, Dade's got no alibi.
His brother just basically threw him under the bus.
What else do we have on him? He used a towel.
I use one every day big fluffy one.
What the hell are you doing taking over this case? I gave it to Ray Arnold.
- Homicide asked us in.
Someone give you the idea you can ignore chain of command? Chief, that's what this unit does: We take over major crimes cases.
But you don't assign them.
I do.
I understand, but do you think the optics are gonna get better if we pass it back? A defense attorney would have a field day first robbery, then homicide, then us, then back to homicide? Hung up.
- Can you blame him? Better to ask for forgiveness later than what is it, how does it go? - Boss.
I got some news.
- Spears, haul Dade out of holding and put him in the box.
Re-interview him.
I checked into the debit card withdrawals.
All were at ATMs at small stores.
Looks like he tried to find places without security cameras.
Crap.
So we don't have our guy on video? - Well, actually, maybe, sorta.
- Maybe sorta? - Yeah.
- What does that mean? I found a security camera trained on the door in one of the stores.
- Nice.
- Yeah, so cross-referencing the time of the withdrawals with the footage, there were 3 people in the store at the time.
So you're saying we have 3 potential suspects? Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Oh It's not anything serious, is it? Diabetes.
Osteoporosis.
Botox.
- Oh, for God's sakes.
Hormones.
- You have the menopause? Progesterone.
I'm trying to get pregnant.
Oh! You tell anyone, I will crush you.
So one of these 3 used the stolen cards.
Suspect #1: Definitely not Dade.
Suspect #2: She doesn't fit the victim's descriptions.
And finally, suspect #3: There's potential there.
Looks like our home invader has an assistant.
- Ok.
Locate all the cameras near where the stolen cards were used.
I mean any CCTV, traffic cameras, other stores.
Go through the footage.
One of these 3 people is gonna pop up, and then we got our King! Can I talk to you? You're taking over my case? I'm taking over homicide's case.
You think you can just kill me like you did the others? I'm not going down like that.
How would you prefer to go down? I want another shot at Dade Reilly.
I was 6 hours in with him yesterday.
We developed a relationship, a rapport.
I could tell from his eye you guys hit it off.
He fell.
Hey Santa, how come your beard smells like beer? You say crap that nobody else understands, you know that, right? Ok.
Dade just lawyered up.
He's not talking to anybody.
Charge him.
We're close.
With what evidence? Release him.
Dade Reilly put a cop in a coma.
Dade Reilly just got out of jail.
So you think he scooped out old people's houses, set it up, found a guy to help him out, even though he always works alone? Someone planned it for when he got out.
- He works alone.
- Dade walks, he disappears.
We won't find him anywhere again.
So we spin him.
See what he does, who he hooks up with.
King! Ray! Oh, so it's just your way or no way at all, is that it? Did you see Demaris last night? Somebody used her head as a soccer ball.
She's my colleague, she's my friend, she's a cop.
She's also still in a coma, and for all we know, when she wakes up she won't even be able to even use a spoon! So don't you tell me - Jess.
What? Dawn Jess, let me do some damage control first, ok? Nice work there, staff.
Hey.
She didn't mean it.
The hot dogs in that machine over there look disgusting.
Want one? Hmm? Look, Jess is just angry and worried like we all are.
She's gonna get the guy that did this to your mom.
That's what she does.
She's pretty amazing, actually.
Sure you don't want one? What happens if mom dies? Eleni Demaris is not gonna die.
She loves you way too much for that.
She does.
Oh [Moaning.]
Anything's gonna kill your mom, it's one of these.
Wow! They really are terrible.
[King.]
: Dawn Keeping my mouth shut isn't one of my strong suits.
Your mom is gonna be ok.
She's the toughest lady I know.
I'm sorry.
Whatever.
It's not your fault my mom's gonna be a vegetable.
Here comes a woman with a floppy hat.
[Collier.]
: So this is the café across the street from the ATM our suspect used? Yup.
Tall umbrella lady.
Guy with a lapdog.
Do you have to narrate? It's better than throwing a chair.
Can't we lock some constable in a closet to do this.
Your closet or someone else's? - Hey.
Guys.
Dawn? - Office.
Only 10 more tapes to go How you doin'? What's this? Hey, you guys look good.
- I look fat.
- What? - [King.]
: He's like the teen whisperer.
You going to tell me what happened? I am utterly unqualified to be a mother.
That's what happened.
- [Danny.]
: if this is a trial run, Jess, then we're in trouble.
The whole service is watching, Danny, and I need to find who did this to Demaris.
And I don't think I can do it with her daughter hanging around.
- They're fighting about me.
- No, they aren't.
I don't care anyway.
I can't drop everything every time you get a big case.
Okay? I can't.
It's not fair.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You might not want to fight about the kid in front of the kid.
- We have nowhere to put her.
- To put her? - You know what I mean.
- She's 15.
- She wants to be with her boyfriend.
- She wants to be with her mom.
But she said she didn't want to be with her.
Dawn's afraid of seeing her.
Doesn't mean she doesn't want to.
Oh, that's great, thanks Dr.
Spears.
And don't just ask, ok? Listen.
[Door opening and closing.]
Orange girl with big breasts.
Guy shopping.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Go back to the girl with big breasts.
Have you had any sensitivity training? No.
Behind her.
Look.
That's our guy.
Teenager with a hoodie.
Hey, Dawn, if you want to go see your mom, Danny'll take you.
I'm starving.
Why don't we grab a bite to eat, and then we'll go to the hospital.
Boss, we have news.
- Dawn? - Fine.
- We're good.
We're good.
Go.
- Ok.
Teenagers are chemically sociopathic.
Yeah, but they do eventually become people, right? People? Mine haven't.
Not yet.
Well, trust the future.
The pupa will become the butterfly.
We found him at 2 different locations associated with withdrawals made with the stolen cards.
[Collier.]
: That's gotta be our attacker's accomplice.
Ok, so we need copies of this picture.
Collier, you and I will go through the juvenile offender records, see if we can make a match.
Spears, MK, grab some Uni's, go down to shelters, check camps, under bridges Shelters Grab me the Bill Walderson file.
The murder victim? What are you thinking? Chocolate-covered almonds.
Prison rules: Take all you want, eat all you take.
Zenobia James.
Call me Zee.
- I'm Detective sergeant Jessica King.
This is Detective Collier.
We're hoping you can help us locate this young man.
Might have been doing some fundraising for you, selling some of your chocolate-covered almonds.
Never seen him.
No.
But you obviously sell the candy to raise money, right? Chocolate almonds, car washes.
You want to buy a T-shirt? Have you had any thefts lately? Any chocolate stolen? No.
Wish I could help.
- How's business? - Excuse me? Must cost a lot of money to run a shelter operation like this.
Last time I went to the bank, the manager asked me on a date.
I turned him down, and he cut my line of credit.
Hard times for everyone but you union people.
Well, if you see this guy, you'll let us know, right? I run St.
Andrew's for kids, Detective.
Somewhere they can escape for a while.
Get off the street away from abusive parents.
I start turning 'em over to the cops, they stop coming around.
That simple.
Here.
Thank you.
- You think he was lying? - She.
Identifies as female.
And yup, she was lying.
Put a mask and gloves on him She could be our man.
Zenobia James, formerly Zachary.
Priors include robbery, solicitation, and theft.
How recent are the charges? Last one was in 2005, when Zach changed to Zee.
She pretty much reformed since she switched teams.
See, Collier? Boys bad.
Girls good.
Maybe she relapsed.
Her bad boy self surged up and sent her back into a life of crime? Have we heard from MK? She find our kid? Not yet.
That was the hospital.
Eleni's awake.
- Hey.
Demaris is awake.
- Uh, that's great.
Great news.
Yeah.
Uh, I can't get away right now.
Can you take Dawn to the hospital? Um [Sighing.]
Ok, I lost Dawn.
What do you mean you lost Dawn? What happened? - I went to the bathroom.
I left some money on the table for the bill.
When I came back, she bolted.
She took the cash and she bolted.
- Where did she go, Danny? - I don't know, Jess.
I have no idea.
She's gone.
- Jess.
- Any news about Dawn? Uni's are looking all over the city.
She's only been gone for, what? Three hours.
Which could get her half way across the province by bus.
- Kids do this.
She'll be fine.
- Ok.
Moving on.
What about our other missing kid, the one with the hoodie.
Any luck? - So far he's just a ghost.
- Any word on Dade? He make a move? - To the liquor store and back.
Anyone talk to Demaris? We didn't think it was a good idea to To tell her that I misplaced her daughter? Yeah, thanks.
Ok, what are we missing? [Sighing.]
What aren't we looking at? The drugs.
What about the drugs? - Mostly geriatric stuff.
- Not a lot of street value.
- So why take 'em? Hoping for something good? Takes 'em all, sort 'em out later? So we're nowhere.
That's what we're saying? [Phone ringing.]
Hey.
I got her.
She's drunk.
- Narc.
- Bad? - Hammered.
But she's all right.
- Oh, thank God.
That's great.
I mean, not great.
[Sighing.]
Good.
Yeah, right.
So, look, uh, I'll just take her home I guess.
It's not my home.
Jeez I really could use some backup here, Jess.
Ha! Me too.
I'll, uh, try to get there as soon as I can.
All right.
Ok, let's get going.
[Snaps his fingers.]
Hey.
Drink this.
Where'd you get the booze? Some guy outside the liquor store.
Hmm! Just showed him a little bit of this.
That's charming.
Drink your water.
- You're hot when you're sexy.
- Nope.
Get up.
Get up.
Let's go.
[She laughs.]
Right down to business! I like a man who knows what he wants.
[Door closing.]
Sleep it off! Stay! [Dawn.]
: You couldn't handle me anyway.
- You're up, 'cause I'm done.
- I'm not going in there.
- She's a teenager Jess, not armed.
- No, I'm not going in there.
-Rock, paper, scissors, then.
Yes! [King groans.]
[Sighing.]
Call tactical if I'm not back in 10.
Dawn, as long as you're staying here, there's gonna be some rules.
- I don't even want to be here, ok? Congratulations.
Your mother was beaten within an inch of her life, and somehow you've managed to make it all about you.
We had cops looking for you all over the city cops that could have been helping us find the guy that did this to your mom, who happens to be awake, by the way.
Really? Is she okay? She will be.
It's gonna take some time, though.
- I want to see her.
- Not till you sober up.
Dawn, I know, it's [Sighing.]
We all - Don't touch me! [Dawn sobbing.]
Wow.
I mean wow.
Now you see what I've been dealing with for the past 14 hours.
Now I know what my dad put up with.
Can I ask you a work question? Only if you promise to rub my feet later.
So these guys stole all our vics' meds geriatric meds.
And we got a street kid involved.
You heard anything like this from your buddies in narcotics? I don't know.
I know that there's a market for erectile dysfunction drugs you know, antidepressants, prescription pain killers.
You know, that kind of thing, and oh, come on.
Drug roulette Party.
[TV turned on.]
What's drug roulette? Pills.
In a bowl.
Everybody grabs a couple.
It's crazy.
You never know what you're gonna get.
I got sick once.
Stomach pump action.
Gross.
Amazing.
Just when you think kids couldn't get any stupider, huh? Yeah, but she can't be the only kid who overdosed.
Ben Moser, age 16.
Passed out at a house party in the Roncesvalles area Saturday night.
E.
R.
docs pumped his stomach.
How you feeling, Ben? - Uh, it was, um, it was food poisoning.
He's fine now.
Your son took a near-lethal cocktail of prescription drugs.
Someone slipped something in my drink.
My son's not a criminal.
We just want to know where Ben got the drugs.
Did you get your pills from him? Wait, do I need to call my lawyer? Just to be clear, your son covering for his dealer throws not only him but you into a whole little murder investigation thing.
- I ain't no snitch.
- I could tell by your designer kicks you're a real hard-ass.
- Eat me.
[Furiously.]
: You think this is some kind of joke? Tell them what they need to know! [King.]
: Give us the name.
- Name's Simcoe.
- Where can we find him? Abandoned school on eastern.
We party there sometimes.
[Coughing.]
[Dog barking in the distance.]
[Spears.]
: Simcoe? Hey, we're looking for Simcoe.
[Guy.]
: Never heard of him.
[Sudden crash.]
- Police! Freeze! - I'm not armed! [Spears.]
: hey! [Girl.]
: It's the cops! [Spears.]
: Stop! [Grunting.]
[Police siren.]
Simcoe.
Good nickname.
Got you on fraud, theft, identity theft.
And if you don't start talking, break and enter, aggravated assault - And murder.
Oh, that's just great! You want to go back to prison, Zachary? We're good with that.
Just gotta figure out which prison to put you in.
You know, high levels of testosterone increase your risk of a heart attack.
At this point, I suggest you worry about your own health.
You're the bad cop, right? I wanna talk to the good cop.
Oh, here she is now.
You went to warn Simcoe that we were looking for him.
That's obstruction of justice.
No, I tried to convince him to turn himself in.
A man is murdered.
A cop is in the hospital.
This is not going away.
You got children? I'm working on it.
Last time I was in prison, I got to thinking, if I died, who would who would care? Always liked kids.
Obviously not gonna have any of my own.
I never wanted this for Simcoe.
We need you to tell him that.
[Zee.]
: I remember a boy came to me about 2 years ago.
Pants all ripped up.
Gave you clothes.
Gave you food.
Even a job for a while.
It breaks my heart to see you like this again.
These could be our 2, and you're giving them a chance to get their story straight? I'm sure there's a phone book around here, if you want to slap 'em around Ray Arnold style.
[Zee.]
: You've gotta make some good decisions now, baby.
You're not a murderer.
You don't beat on cops.
I know that.
The lady behind that glass, she doesn't.
If you were casing houses, picking up some cash, you just tell them.
All right, baby.
I always say: You own your choices.
But this one, you need to understand, you dragged other people into it my kids, my place.
You want to hurt me? Done.
Bye-bye.
Wait.
Calls himself Romeo.
He's into some dudes for a pretty big number.
Drugs? Coke, mostly.
He said he wasn't gonna hurt anyone.
Is this him? No.
[King.]
: So where can we find this Romeo? Works in a restaurant downtown.
The Paramount.
[MK.]
: Oh, my God.
Dade's brother.
- You gotta be kidding me.
- Yeah.
And we missed him.
We're going to pick up Kelvin.
[Police siren.]
[Traffic noise.]
The cops came lookin' for you.
They told me what you did.
You trying to put this on me? Your brother? You steal my thing! - It was a freakin' towel! Everybody knows it's my thing.
You tryin' to get me sent back to jail? Huh? Answer me! Oh, big boy, huh? You wanna do this? I'll put you down, boy.
You won't get back up.
[Yelling in pain.]
You little punk! All right, you want a piece of this? [Tires screeching.]
[Spears.]
: hey! Kelvin! Put it down, it's over.
All the crap he did, he's out free? I bust my ass, I get nowhere.
You don't want to hurt your brother.
He ain't gonna hurt me.
- Shut up! - Hey! Stay there.
I had it all wrong.
I know how it works now.
I'll be out in a couple of years.
Hey buddy, you murdered someone.
It's more like 25.
[Dade.]
: You think you know how it works now? Let's see how you like it on the inside! [Groaning in pain.]
Sorry, Romeo.
Easy, Ray.
[King.]
: She sober enough to see Demaris? Okay, I'll see you downstairs.
Need to talk to you about something.
Got a minute? Uh, actually, uh, sort of.
I we're taking Dawn to the hospital.
A spot in intelligence opened up last week.
They talked to me.
It's a lateral move, but you know, all things considered, time for a change.
Even the best teams only need one quarterback.
You talk to Chief Graci? Yeah.
Ok, then.
Uh, I guess, uh, you've made your decision.
Intelligence, they know you're stupid, right? Better not.
[Monitor beeping.]
[Dawn.]
: She looks so old.
I can stay by myself at my house.
- Not gonna happen.
- You even know how to cook? You don't like pizza? You don't want me.
You said so.
I didn't mean that.
You look exhausted, hon.
I just want to go to sleep.
I know.
Let's go home.
We'll give you a minute.
[Danny.]
: How's this gonna work, Jess? Day by day.
You rock the nights, I'll take the mornings.
Have you seen you in the morning? [King.]
: Demaris is a single parent.
There's 2 of us.
Technically.
We'll do it together.
Fifty-fifty.
I promise.
: I told you, I'm not going in.
She's your mother, not mine.
Kyle won't die if he doesn't get a text from you every 10 seconds.
Not Kyle; Duncan.
Oh, my God, this is insane.
Boys like it when you ignore them.
How would you know? The last time you were on a date, I wasn't even born yet.
Come on, let's go.
It's been ages since grandma's seen you.
And I haven't changed, like, at all.
[Sighing.]
Hey, mom? I got your prescription.
Mom? [Moaning quietly.]
Oh, my God.
[Yelling.]
[Music in headphones.]
[Yelling.]
[Yelling.]
[Horn honking.]
[Grunting.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Police siren.]
[Monitors beeping.]
How is she? Fractured ribs, head trauma.
They're gonna do an MRI and check to see if there's a subdural hematoma.
- How's the grandmother? - Tough lady.
Neck bruising, irregular heartbeat, but stable.
They're gonna keep her here for observation.
Paul Graci.
Hello? Hello? Hello? What? No.
No.
I'm on my way Bad reception.
To hell with it.
- How's Dawn? They can't wait till I get there.
- Dawn? - Demaris' daughter.
- Daughter, right.
Danielle.
- Danielle? What? No, Dawn.
No, I was just talking to her, I was calling her Danielle.
She didn't correct me.
- Maybe she was trying to be polite.
[Sighing.]
The girl's family's beaten to a pulp, and I didn't know her name? - Sir?? She was outside when it happened.
Dawn is upset, but she's not hurt.
Robbery squad was at the scene, taking statements.
They had a similar home invasion yesterday: Senior strangled with a towel, stolen meds, credit cards, the whole nine yards.
Anything on the assailant? Not yet.
But Ray will keep you in the loop.
You're leaving this with robbery? They have a line on this one.
Ray will loop you in.
- Ray Arnold is a Neanderthal.
- Demaris is on your team.
Appearance of conflict.
Optics are everything.
- Chief!! - You're in the loop, King! - Sir - Apologize to the girl on my behalf.
Call me the minute there's any news on Detective Demaris, hmm? [Police siren.]
[Traffic noise.]
I already told them.
I said I didn't see anything or anybody, ok? Dawn.
- What? - Stop texting.
- They're my friends.
- Then they'll wait.
The last time you saw your gran, did she say anything about any prowlers or strangers in the neighborhood? I don't know.
Why does everyone keep asking me? - Dawn.
- What? Finger cancer.
All those Internet rays.
Very bad.
[Boots squeaking.]
I need your help here.
It's not my fault.
No one said it was.
I haven't seen grandma in ages, and And mom was mad at me, and - Ok.
All right.
I need to go to the washroom.
I hate the smell of hospitals.
Always have.
Wanna get some air? Ray.
Jessica King, leaving you another message.
Where's MK and Collier? Told them to go straight to the shop.
What's up with gran? - Heavily sedated.
- A description? Anything? - Uh, yeah.
"Big.
" - "Big.
" That's it? Nothing from robbery, huh? Left brother Ray 3 messages.
Nothing.
You ok? No.
You? No, not really, no.
Hey, Demaris is gonna be ok.
It's cold out here.
Hey.
- What's going on out there? I just Demaris is I just needed a place to think.
That's all.
Can I be with her? I wanna be with her.
Clear the way, please.
Honey, you have to stay here.
Do we have to sleep here? Spears, can you take Dawn back to the waiting area? Sure.
Come on, Dawn.
Ok, someone's gotta be with her.
Either here or take her home.
- Where's her father? Left when she was 7.
I gotta get back to the office.
We're already behind on this.
I'm in the middle of surveillance right now.
I can't bail on my team.
They'll kill me.
What about Spears? - No, I need him.
- For what, a back rub? Don't.
Jess.
You know what? The girl's got friends, right, her friends have parents Danny.
If she was our kid, we'd want someone we trust to watch her, right? All right, I'll make a call.
I'll get someone to cover for me.
[Police radio chatter.]
Ok, where are we? - Robbery stonewalled us.
- And you let them? Do those guys have opposable thumbs? We couldn't even find the file on the system.
[Spears.]
: Are we looking at a sexual motive here, or No.
In both incidents, the assailant wore a mask.
Grabbed cash, grabbed jewelry, wiped the cabinet for meds, took bank cards.
- Are we tracking withdrawals? - Robbery is.
It's their case.
Looked up the towel M.
O.
Got a match: Dade Reilly.
Just out of prison 2 weeks ago.
- What was he in for? Mugging people when they got out of bank machines.
Wraps a towel around their neck, chokes them until they cough up the cash.
Get his parole officer on the phone.
Doesn't have one.
Dade served his full sentence for armed robbery.
His arresting officer was Ray Arnold.
Ok, I'm looking for Ray.
Hey, I know it's Demaris and everything, but the chief's ok with this, right? King.
You think you can just flash them a smile and they'll hand the case over? The chief wants Ray and his boys to handle this.
That's what he wants.
That's not what Demaris needs.
There are cases best handled by a guy with a thick neck.
Robbery's reputation is for inventive uses of the phone book, not for their stellar conviction rate.
Help me with my boots.
- What? Please.
My feet are baking.
They're a pain in the butt to get off.
Graci's not your enemy on this one.
- It's not about optics, is it? - No, it's not.
Graci knows that robbery sees this scum all the time and he knows how they deal with them.
A cop goes down, all bets are off.
Stay clear of this one, Jess.
Why? So the guy who did it can get off on a technicality, like a broken jaw or internal haemorrhaging? I don't want the guy who did this in hospital; I want him in jail.
Tiggs just called.
Ray is booking Dade Reilly downstairs right now.
- Ray Arnold.
- Detective Sergeant King.
You never call anymore.
- So this is Dade Reilly? Look at that eye.
You want to tell me what happened? Hey, who the hell are you talking to? My case, my suspect.
Show starts in 5.
You're welcome to watch.
Unless you're late for a wax job or something.
I wouldn't want to hold you up.
This is nuts.
It say anywhere in that book of yours that I bust into houses and beat up old ladies? Where were you last night? I told you.
I was at my brother's all weekend.
Ask him.
- The brother.
Who works nights.
What's his name? - Kelvin.
Kelvin.
[Chuckling.]
Where does Kelvin work? - Bunch of places a place on Victoria maybe.
- Hmm.
Towel as a lethal weapon.
That's cute.
Where'd you get that idea? - The bathroom.
How the hell should I know? Look, dude, you got the wrong guy.
I like old ladies.
In fact, I'm late to go see my granny right now.
Let me tell you where you really screwed up, Dade.
See, one of the people that you assaulted is a police officer.
No, man.
That's not my thing.
I would never do that.
I swear.
- Oh, you'll swear, and you'll pray.
Hurt one, hurt us all.
[Cell phone buzzing.]
[Camera snapping shots.]
Hank Odum.
Keeper of the flame for the good suit squad.
How's life in homicide, huh? Not nearly as much fun since this one got kicked to the curb.
Got a hickey or is your collar supposed to be that high? I should be so lucky.
Just caught this case.
Looking like it's tied to Demaris' beat down.
Same deal bruising around the neck; Cash, jewelry gone; medicine cabinet swept.
Mr.
Bill Walderson.
He used to play violin at night.
Neighbour said she hadn't heard him in a while.
Came over to check on him.
Stupid mess for a couple of bucks.
Looks like Bill didn't make it easy on him.
If you gotta go, go out fighting.
- [Spears.]
: That's my plan.
- I asked the ident guys to check under the fingernails for DNA.
He got choked from behind like our others.
Doubt he got a grip on our suspect.
Chocolate covered almonds.
Guess I can't eat the evidence? He lived alone? Any family pictures? Just the one.
Uh a curly-haired girl from the '50s, looks like.
Wedding ring and a funeral notice in an envelope tucked in the back of the frame.
If he needed another wife, he should've called me.
Between you and me, we could start a business: "Used spouses.
Cheap.
" I don't know about you, kiddo, but my exes ain't cheap.
Time of death? Uh, lividity, no rigor.
Couple days.
I wonder how many more old folks we'll find like this? So, how do you guys want to play this? Murder means robbery's file on this comes to me.
I can run with it.
- Or you could pass it on to us.
- That's a bit of a stunt.
Demaris is one of ours.
Save me the headache of dealing with Ray and his crew.
I hate those guys.
What do you say, King, huh? All this could be yours.
- I'll take it.
- Done.
Someone should tell Ray we're on this.
Can't we just let him find out on Twitter? What's up? - Hey.
We've got a problem.
- Demaris? No, no, I called in.
Eleni came through with flying colours.
- That's good news.
- Still hasn't woken up, though.
She's gonna be fine, Dawn.
They are keeping her under.
They're monitoring her swelling in her brain and the pressure.
I'll talk to Ray.
Thanks.
I brought these for you.
It's a change of clothes.
And I thought you might've forgot your shot.
- Oh.
Oh, I still have an hour.
Thanks.
School? - Yeah, that's the problem.
Dawn was suspended last week for fighting.
Fighting? And she doesn't want to wait at the hospital.
She wants me to drop her at Dudes Square.
Danny, I'm in deep here.
This is not just about Demaris anymore; It's a murder case.
I got a meeting with proceeds of crime in like 10 minutes.
Look, I'll just go to my boyfriend's.
- Isn't he in school? He quit ages ago.
Ok.
My turn.
I don't need a babysitter.
I am a babysitter.
Look, I have a cell phone.
You can just You understand that we're working really hard to try to find the man that assaulted your mom, right? - I'm not stupid.
- Then stop acting like you are.
Wow, need some sleep much? Guys, remember Dawn? Be really great if you could find her something fun to do while we work.
- Ok, sure, no problem.
- Come on in.
Boss, I finally heard back from robbery.
Looks like our guy didn't use any of the stolen cards at bank ATMs.
So he used dinky little private machines.
Most of which don't have built-in security cameras.
Ok, go through the withdrawals and nail down where the machines are that he used.
Yeah, that info is with Ray's guys.
- Then get it up here.
- Can I get online? Sure.
You can use your mom's computer over there.
Is this our case now? The murder made it homicide, homicide passed it on to us, and Ray can crawl back under his rock.
Spears and I are going to check out Dade's alibi.
So, Kelvin, you can't say with any certainty that your brother Dade Half-brother.
Ok, you're sure he wasn't at your house on those nights? I don't know.
He's in and out.
I'm never there, right? So I don't keep track.
So no.
But not with, like, certainty.
So since he's been out of jail, has he been buying any new clothes, any new pieces of jewellery? No.
If he did, he'd be flashing that stuff around.
What hours do you work, Kelvin? I got the lunch shift here, noon till 9.
Then I work the graveyard shift at the impound.
That one's midnight till 5 in the morning.
Some days I pick up a shift at a call centre.
That one's the worst.
- Tell me about it.
- Three jobs, huh? Gotta pay the bills.
- Dade helps out though, right? - Na, he's always broke.
Drinks my beer, eats my food.
- So why don't you kick him out? - Turn my back on family? You don't have to turn your back, just have to lock your door.
Yeah, well, Dade, he'd find a way to get in, you know what I'm sayin'? [Man.]
: Kelvin, you working or not? I gotta get back before the rush.
If you think of anything else, just give us a call.
Thanks a lot for your time.
You wanna put my brother back in jail, I'm not gonna stop you.
Be good to get my couch back.
Back in the day, though, Dade was a good kid.
He made us all laugh.
I keep thinkin' some day that guy'll come back.
[Spears.]
: Thanks.
Well, Dade's got no alibi.
His brother just basically threw him under the bus.
What else do we have on him? He used a towel.
I use one every day big fluffy one.
What the hell are you doing taking over this case? I gave it to Ray Arnold.
- Homicide asked us in.
Someone give you the idea you can ignore chain of command? Chief, that's what this unit does: We take over major crimes cases.
But you don't assign them.
I do.
I understand, but do you think the optics are gonna get better if we pass it back? A defense attorney would have a field day first robbery, then homicide, then us, then back to homicide? Hung up.
- Can you blame him? Better to ask for forgiveness later than what is it, how does it go? - Boss.
I got some news.
- Spears, haul Dade out of holding and put him in the box.
Re-interview him.
I checked into the debit card withdrawals.
All were at ATMs at small stores.
Looks like he tried to find places without security cameras.
Crap.
So we don't have our guy on video? - Well, actually, maybe, sorta.
- Maybe sorta? - Yeah.
- What does that mean? I found a security camera trained on the door in one of the stores.
- Nice.
- Yeah, so cross-referencing the time of the withdrawals with the footage, there were 3 people in the store at the time.
So you're saying we have 3 potential suspects? Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Oh It's not anything serious, is it? Diabetes.
Osteoporosis.
Botox.
- Oh, for God's sakes.
Hormones.
- You have the menopause? Progesterone.
I'm trying to get pregnant.
Oh! You tell anyone, I will crush you.
So one of these 3 used the stolen cards.
Suspect #1: Definitely not Dade.
Suspect #2: She doesn't fit the victim's descriptions.
And finally, suspect #3: There's potential there.
Looks like our home invader has an assistant.
- Ok.
Locate all the cameras near where the stolen cards were used.
I mean any CCTV, traffic cameras, other stores.
Go through the footage.
One of these 3 people is gonna pop up, and then we got our King! Can I talk to you? You're taking over my case? I'm taking over homicide's case.
You think you can just kill me like you did the others? I'm not going down like that.
How would you prefer to go down? I want another shot at Dade Reilly.
I was 6 hours in with him yesterday.
We developed a relationship, a rapport.
I could tell from his eye you guys hit it off.
He fell.
Hey Santa, how come your beard smells like beer? You say crap that nobody else understands, you know that, right? Ok.
Dade just lawyered up.
He's not talking to anybody.
Charge him.
We're close.
With what evidence? Release him.
Dade Reilly put a cop in a coma.
Dade Reilly just got out of jail.
So you think he scooped out old people's houses, set it up, found a guy to help him out, even though he always works alone? Someone planned it for when he got out.
- He works alone.
- Dade walks, he disappears.
We won't find him anywhere again.
So we spin him.
See what he does, who he hooks up with.
King! Ray! Oh, so it's just your way or no way at all, is that it? Did you see Demaris last night? Somebody used her head as a soccer ball.
She's my colleague, she's my friend, she's a cop.
She's also still in a coma, and for all we know, when she wakes up she won't even be able to even use a spoon! So don't you tell me - Jess.
What? Dawn Jess, let me do some damage control first, ok? Nice work there, staff.
Hey.
She didn't mean it.
The hot dogs in that machine over there look disgusting.
Want one? Hmm? Look, Jess is just angry and worried like we all are.
She's gonna get the guy that did this to your mom.
That's what she does.
She's pretty amazing, actually.
Sure you don't want one? What happens if mom dies? Eleni Demaris is not gonna die.
She loves you way too much for that.
She does.
Oh [Moaning.]
Anything's gonna kill your mom, it's one of these.
Wow! They really are terrible.
[King.]
: Dawn Keeping my mouth shut isn't one of my strong suits.
Your mom is gonna be ok.
She's the toughest lady I know.
I'm sorry.
Whatever.
It's not your fault my mom's gonna be a vegetable.
Here comes a woman with a floppy hat.
[Collier.]
: So this is the café across the street from the ATM our suspect used? Yup.
Tall umbrella lady.
Guy with a lapdog.
Do you have to narrate? It's better than throwing a chair.
Can't we lock some constable in a closet to do this.
Your closet or someone else's? - Hey.
Guys.
Dawn? - Office.
Only 10 more tapes to go How you doin'? What's this? Hey, you guys look good.
- I look fat.
- What? - [King.]
: He's like the teen whisperer.
You going to tell me what happened? I am utterly unqualified to be a mother.
That's what happened.
- [Danny.]
: if this is a trial run, Jess, then we're in trouble.
The whole service is watching, Danny, and I need to find who did this to Demaris.
And I don't think I can do it with her daughter hanging around.
- They're fighting about me.
- No, they aren't.
I don't care anyway.
I can't drop everything every time you get a big case.
Okay? I can't.
It's not fair.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You might not want to fight about the kid in front of the kid.
- We have nowhere to put her.
- To put her? - You know what I mean.
- She's 15.
- She wants to be with her boyfriend.
- She wants to be with her mom.
But she said she didn't want to be with her.
Dawn's afraid of seeing her.
Doesn't mean she doesn't want to.
Oh, that's great, thanks Dr.
Spears.
And don't just ask, ok? Listen.
[Door opening and closing.]
Orange girl with big breasts.
Guy shopping.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Go back to the girl with big breasts.
Have you had any sensitivity training? No.
Behind her.
Look.
That's our guy.
Teenager with a hoodie.
Hey, Dawn, if you want to go see your mom, Danny'll take you.
I'm starving.
Why don't we grab a bite to eat, and then we'll go to the hospital.
Boss, we have news.
- Dawn? - Fine.
- We're good.
We're good.
Go.
- Ok.
Teenagers are chemically sociopathic.
Yeah, but they do eventually become people, right? People? Mine haven't.
Not yet.
Well, trust the future.
The pupa will become the butterfly.
We found him at 2 different locations associated with withdrawals made with the stolen cards.
[Collier.]
: That's gotta be our attacker's accomplice.
Ok, so we need copies of this picture.
Collier, you and I will go through the juvenile offender records, see if we can make a match.
Spears, MK, grab some Uni's, go down to shelters, check camps, under bridges Shelters Grab me the Bill Walderson file.
The murder victim? What are you thinking? Chocolate-covered almonds.
Prison rules: Take all you want, eat all you take.
Zenobia James.
Call me Zee.
- I'm Detective sergeant Jessica King.
This is Detective Collier.
We're hoping you can help us locate this young man.
Might have been doing some fundraising for you, selling some of your chocolate-covered almonds.
Never seen him.
No.
But you obviously sell the candy to raise money, right? Chocolate almonds, car washes.
You want to buy a T-shirt? Have you had any thefts lately? Any chocolate stolen? No.
Wish I could help.
- How's business? - Excuse me? Must cost a lot of money to run a shelter operation like this.
Last time I went to the bank, the manager asked me on a date.
I turned him down, and he cut my line of credit.
Hard times for everyone but you union people.
Well, if you see this guy, you'll let us know, right? I run St.
Andrew's for kids, Detective.
Somewhere they can escape for a while.
Get off the street away from abusive parents.
I start turning 'em over to the cops, they stop coming around.
That simple.
Here.
Thank you.
- You think he was lying? - She.
Identifies as female.
And yup, she was lying.
Put a mask and gloves on him She could be our man.
Zenobia James, formerly Zachary.
Priors include robbery, solicitation, and theft.
How recent are the charges? Last one was in 2005, when Zach changed to Zee.
She pretty much reformed since she switched teams.
See, Collier? Boys bad.
Girls good.
Maybe she relapsed.
Her bad boy self surged up and sent her back into a life of crime? Have we heard from MK? She find our kid? Not yet.
That was the hospital.
Eleni's awake.
- Hey.
Demaris is awake.
- Uh, that's great.
Great news.
Yeah.
Uh, I can't get away right now.
Can you take Dawn to the hospital? Um [Sighing.]
Ok, I lost Dawn.
What do you mean you lost Dawn? What happened? - I went to the bathroom.
I left some money on the table for the bill.
When I came back, she bolted.
She took the cash and she bolted.
- Where did she go, Danny? - I don't know, Jess.
I have no idea.
She's gone.
- Jess.
- Any news about Dawn? Uni's are looking all over the city.
She's only been gone for, what? Three hours.
Which could get her half way across the province by bus.
- Kids do this.
She'll be fine.
- Ok.
Moving on.
What about our other missing kid, the one with the hoodie.
Any luck? - So far he's just a ghost.
- Any word on Dade? He make a move? - To the liquor store and back.
Anyone talk to Demaris? We didn't think it was a good idea to To tell her that I misplaced her daughter? Yeah, thanks.
Ok, what are we missing? [Sighing.]
What aren't we looking at? The drugs.
What about the drugs? - Mostly geriatric stuff.
- Not a lot of street value.
- So why take 'em? Hoping for something good? Takes 'em all, sort 'em out later? So we're nowhere.
That's what we're saying? [Phone ringing.]
Hey.
I got her.
She's drunk.
- Narc.
- Bad? - Hammered.
But she's all right.
- Oh, thank God.
That's great.
I mean, not great.
[Sighing.]
Good.
Yeah, right.
So, look, uh, I'll just take her home I guess.
It's not my home.
Jeez I really could use some backup here, Jess.
Ha! Me too.
I'll, uh, try to get there as soon as I can.
All right.
Ok, let's get going.
[Snaps his fingers.]
Hey.
Drink this.
Where'd you get the booze? Some guy outside the liquor store.
Hmm! Just showed him a little bit of this.
That's charming.
Drink your water.
- You're hot when you're sexy.
- Nope.
Get up.
Get up.
Let's go.
[She laughs.]
Right down to business! I like a man who knows what he wants.
[Door closing.]
Sleep it off! Stay! [Dawn.]
: You couldn't handle me anyway.
- You're up, 'cause I'm done.
- I'm not going in there.
- She's a teenager Jess, not armed.
- No, I'm not going in there.
-Rock, paper, scissors, then.
Yes! [King groans.]
[Sighing.]
Call tactical if I'm not back in 10.
Dawn, as long as you're staying here, there's gonna be some rules.
- I don't even want to be here, ok? Congratulations.
Your mother was beaten within an inch of her life, and somehow you've managed to make it all about you.
We had cops looking for you all over the city cops that could have been helping us find the guy that did this to your mom, who happens to be awake, by the way.
Really? Is she okay? She will be.
It's gonna take some time, though.
- I want to see her.
- Not till you sober up.
Dawn, I know, it's [Sighing.]
We all - Don't touch me! [Dawn sobbing.]
Wow.
I mean wow.
Now you see what I've been dealing with for the past 14 hours.
Now I know what my dad put up with.
Can I ask you a work question? Only if you promise to rub my feet later.
So these guys stole all our vics' meds geriatric meds.
And we got a street kid involved.
You heard anything like this from your buddies in narcotics? I don't know.
I know that there's a market for erectile dysfunction drugs you know, antidepressants, prescription pain killers.
You know, that kind of thing, and oh, come on.
Drug roulette Party.
[TV turned on.]
What's drug roulette? Pills.
In a bowl.
Everybody grabs a couple.
It's crazy.
You never know what you're gonna get.
I got sick once.
Stomach pump action.
Gross.
Amazing.
Just when you think kids couldn't get any stupider, huh? Yeah, but she can't be the only kid who overdosed.
Ben Moser, age 16.
Passed out at a house party in the Roncesvalles area Saturday night.
E.
R.
docs pumped his stomach.
How you feeling, Ben? - Uh, it was, um, it was food poisoning.
He's fine now.
Your son took a near-lethal cocktail of prescription drugs.
Someone slipped something in my drink.
My son's not a criminal.
We just want to know where Ben got the drugs.
Did you get your pills from him? Wait, do I need to call my lawyer? Just to be clear, your son covering for his dealer throws not only him but you into a whole little murder investigation thing.
- I ain't no snitch.
- I could tell by your designer kicks you're a real hard-ass.
- Eat me.
[Furiously.]
: You think this is some kind of joke? Tell them what they need to know! [King.]
: Give us the name.
- Name's Simcoe.
- Where can we find him? Abandoned school on eastern.
We party there sometimes.
[Coughing.]
[Dog barking in the distance.]
[Spears.]
: Simcoe? Hey, we're looking for Simcoe.
[Guy.]
: Never heard of him.
[Sudden crash.]
- Police! Freeze! - I'm not armed! [Spears.]
: hey! [Girl.]
: It's the cops! [Spears.]
: Stop! [Grunting.]
[Police siren.]
Simcoe.
Good nickname.
Got you on fraud, theft, identity theft.
And if you don't start talking, break and enter, aggravated assault - And murder.
Oh, that's just great! You want to go back to prison, Zachary? We're good with that.
Just gotta figure out which prison to put you in.
You know, high levels of testosterone increase your risk of a heart attack.
At this point, I suggest you worry about your own health.
You're the bad cop, right? I wanna talk to the good cop.
Oh, here she is now.
You went to warn Simcoe that we were looking for him.
That's obstruction of justice.
No, I tried to convince him to turn himself in.
A man is murdered.
A cop is in the hospital.
This is not going away.
You got children? I'm working on it.
Last time I was in prison, I got to thinking, if I died, who would who would care? Always liked kids.
Obviously not gonna have any of my own.
I never wanted this for Simcoe.
We need you to tell him that.
[Zee.]
: I remember a boy came to me about 2 years ago.
Pants all ripped up.
Gave you clothes.
Gave you food.
Even a job for a while.
It breaks my heart to see you like this again.
These could be our 2, and you're giving them a chance to get their story straight? I'm sure there's a phone book around here, if you want to slap 'em around Ray Arnold style.
[Zee.]
: You've gotta make some good decisions now, baby.
You're not a murderer.
You don't beat on cops.
I know that.
The lady behind that glass, she doesn't.
If you were casing houses, picking up some cash, you just tell them.
All right, baby.
I always say: You own your choices.
But this one, you need to understand, you dragged other people into it my kids, my place.
You want to hurt me? Done.
Bye-bye.
Wait.
Calls himself Romeo.
He's into some dudes for a pretty big number.
Drugs? Coke, mostly.
He said he wasn't gonna hurt anyone.
Is this him? No.
[King.]
: So where can we find this Romeo? Works in a restaurant downtown.
The Paramount.
[MK.]
: Oh, my God.
Dade's brother.
- You gotta be kidding me.
- Yeah.
And we missed him.
We're going to pick up Kelvin.
[Police siren.]
[Traffic noise.]
The cops came lookin' for you.
They told me what you did.
You trying to put this on me? Your brother? You steal my thing! - It was a freakin' towel! Everybody knows it's my thing.
You tryin' to get me sent back to jail? Huh? Answer me! Oh, big boy, huh? You wanna do this? I'll put you down, boy.
You won't get back up.
[Yelling in pain.]
You little punk! All right, you want a piece of this? [Tires screeching.]
[Spears.]
: hey! Kelvin! Put it down, it's over.
All the crap he did, he's out free? I bust my ass, I get nowhere.
You don't want to hurt your brother.
He ain't gonna hurt me.
- Shut up! - Hey! Stay there.
I had it all wrong.
I know how it works now.
I'll be out in a couple of years.
Hey buddy, you murdered someone.
It's more like 25.
[Dade.]
: You think you know how it works now? Let's see how you like it on the inside! [Groaning in pain.]
Sorry, Romeo.
Easy, Ray.
[King.]
: She sober enough to see Demaris? Okay, I'll see you downstairs.
Need to talk to you about something.
Got a minute? Uh, actually, uh, sort of.
I we're taking Dawn to the hospital.
A spot in intelligence opened up last week.
They talked to me.
It's a lateral move, but you know, all things considered, time for a change.
Even the best teams only need one quarterback.
You talk to Chief Graci? Yeah.
Ok, then.
Uh, I guess, uh, you've made your decision.
Intelligence, they know you're stupid, right? Better not.
[Monitor beeping.]
[Dawn.]
: She looks so old.
I can stay by myself at my house.
- Not gonna happen.
- You even know how to cook? You don't like pizza? You don't want me.
You said so.
I didn't mean that.
You look exhausted, hon.
I just want to go to sleep.
I know.
Let's go home.
We'll give you a minute.
[Danny.]
: How's this gonna work, Jess? Day by day.
You rock the nights, I'll take the mornings.
Have you seen you in the morning? [King.]
: Demaris is a single parent.
There's 2 of us.
Technically.
We'll do it together.
Fifty-fifty.
I promise.
