- Popular Vancouver Mayor, Dominic Da Vinci, is hosting a Canadian mayor's conference. One of the attendees is Toronto Mayor Tom Drood. Despite being considered a political lightweight (or in reality because of it), Drood is being supported by Charles and Katherine Greenborne - newspaper moguls - as a candidate for the next federal election; they tout Drood as potential Prime Ministerial material. The support of the Greenbornes, as people who control the media, is powerful. They throw a shindig for Drood, the party where they hope to get public endorsement by Da Vinci for Drood's candidacy. Following the official party, the Greenbornes - with Drood and the Greenborne's drug addict nephew, Earl, in attendance - host a more private affair complete with drugs and sex show. The next morning, Anna Navarez, one of the domestics at the party and post-party, is found dead in her bedroom in the basement of her employer, Phyllis Whiting, a friend of the Greenborne's. With what circumstantial knowledge he has at hand, Da Vinci smells a cover-up on the Greenborne's part both about the fact of the post-party and Navarez's death. In addition, key potential witness Drood suddenly leaves town; Earl is a person unknown to the investigators; and evidence conveniently shows up implicating Navarez's former boyfriend, who was also working as a domestic at the party. Da Vinci wants to help in the investigation but he has to tread a fine line due to his public persona as a popular politician, one who has a possible eye on the Premiership.

- 2005–200644m6.9 (13)TV EpisodeDa Vinci meets with an old buddy from his police days, Nelson Horner, who has been doing some work for the Solicitor General's office. He gives Da Vinci a head's up that he is "being set up to take a big hit" due to the Mayor's controversial policies, further fueled by the murder in the red light district. This action stems from a war between the SG's office and the Attorney General's office and control of the police force. They both suspect that Jacobs has his fingers in the mix somewhere. Immediately following, Berger gets a call from Feeney of the SG's office for a meeting with the Mayor; Feeney tells Da Vinci that the SG is concerned about the grow-op shooting and the non-cooperation and animosity of both the police department and fire and rescue in the Police Complaints Commission. He strongly suggests Da Vinci quietly resolve these problems, including disciplining Jacobs if necessary. The next morning, the Police Complaints Commission releases their report with an inconclusive outcome, although the report highlights many problems both with the grow-op investigation and the non-cooperation by both departments in the commission. Although bothered by the result, Jacobs and Klotchko place a positive spin on the "no blame" aspect of the report and launch their own internal investigation of the non-cooperation aspect. In other words, they plan to sandbag Constables Ferris, Winters and Jones. The fire department is incensed by the inconclusive finding and Komori leads the department in job action by not wearing their uniforms on the job - Welles is not happy with Komori's action. In a further discussion with Rosen on his file folder of 53 complaints against the conduct of the police department, Da Vinci urges him to take the complaints directly to the SG's office based on the Commission's report and the discussion with Feeney. Da Vinci realizes that this will result in an investigation of the entire police department including the Police Board on which he as Mayor is Chair. This does occur, with the relationship between Da Vinci and Jacobs as part of the investigation. Independent with each and without each's knowledge of the other, Mah uses her charms to ease relations and get both Forrest and Sweeney, the fire and police union reps respectively, on side with the City's agenda despite the Commission report. With the red light district murder, Savoy questions Roberta and some prostitutes. Rumors abound the red light zone, the only common thread being that it was robbery-based. Savoy later finds that the murder looks to be the result of a known on-going domestic dispute, good news for the City and the state of the red light district. Webber, a City lawyer, speaks to Da Vinci regarding the civil suit launched by Mina Basra regarding the City's sanctioning of the zone and thus their role in the murder; Webber states that they should be prepared despite the City not being liable. Basra has hired one of the City's most expensive law firms, tipping Da Vinci to the fact that her campaign is being financed by a powerful third party. Mah uncovers the fact that Billie Simms' and Basra are related by marriage and that Simms' husband is a partner in the law firm. Thus Da Vinci decides to confront her on his suspicion that she is Basra's financier and is working against him on the red light zone issue. Despite the facts, she denies the allegations - she states that he is her ex-husband and she and Basra may have once been distantly related. Regardless of the real truth, Da Vinci suggest that they strike a deal to publicly support each other's priorities. With the pedophile case, Jacobs is ready to arrest Dubreau on homicide charges based on evidence that he was in the Century Club with one of the deceased aboriginal boys, this regardless of the state of the Coroner's office investigation. An insider informs Curtis of this, who in turns tips off Dubreau's people, stating that Dubreau should leave the country immediately and permanently. Due to Dubreau's escape to Costa Rica, a country with which Canada does not have an extradition agreement, Leary, on Kelly's advice, decides to raid the Century Club with Kosmo and Finn on a Coroner's warrant instead. The on duty clerk at the club, Mason, offers some resistance to the raid, but later does cooperate. He admits to knowledge of the activities of members of the club inside its premises, as well as admits to making travel arrangements for members fleeing the country to avoid police charges. He also distinctly remembers the situation with Dubreau and the 2 murdered boys specifically because the boys were younger than the usual. Mason also states that Dubreau had a penchant for native boys. On City business, Lloyd Manning once again brings up the issue of the City ad contract; he has evidence that bribes were issued by Pacific Comm to political officials. Councillor Ferlinger later speaks to Da Vinci saying that the RCMP Commercial Crimes Division has interrogated her on the issue based on evidence supplied by Manning. Although she said nothing to the Horsemen, Ferlinger admits to Da Vinci that she does know of bribery associated with the contract, but it was not she who accepted a bribe but rather Da Vinci's friend on Council, Jack Pierce - Pierce confesses to this. Da Vinci convinces him to cut a deal with the Crown, offer his resignation, and not implicate the current administration. Manning states that he doesn't want blood from the City or Pierce, but is solely out for financial gain from Pacific Comm as a businessman, this perhaps allowing Pierce to come out of the incident not totally scathed. With the homeless issue, McNab and Friedland are now working in cahoots with each other seeing that each knows the other's real background. They work in an effort to advance a housing project for the tent city squatters.
- Four on-going story-lines take a back seat in this episode. First, Curtis approaches all the witnesses in the Dubreau case to leave quietly, quickly and semi-permanently to Mexico, all to be paid by Dubreau. These witnesses include Zappata (who agrees), Mason (who shuns Curtis and continues to cooperate with Leary) and Messner (who is adamant about not running away, but vows not to discredit Dubreau). Second, Klotchko continues his sandbagging of the grow-op constables, especially of Ferris. After Matthews in Internal interviews the three constables, she recommends that Ferris be placed under preventative psychiatric care. Third, Katie cooperates on the gay bashing murder. Under interrogation, she places all the blame on Clay and especially Reed, who she paints as being homophobic. And fourth, Woo threatens to shut the Hastings Park racetrack and move all his business to his new property in Delta. This threat includes a letter to the racetrack union to that fact. The main attraction of the episode is the Police Complaints Commission investigation and the on-going battle between Da Vinci and Jacobs. The Commission is looking for any correspondence to/from Da Vinci in his dealings with the police and regarding the grow-op procedure. They approach Komori as such, as well issue a search warrant for the Mayor's office - they get all that is listed in the warrant but not everything they want, which includes access to Da Vinci's computer. Feeney from the Solicitor General's office interviews Jacobs and Klotchko regarding Da Vinci's conduct with the police, Jacobs obviously putting as negative a spin on all situations. Da Vinci finally confront Kaspar regarding the heavy-handedness of the approach, however Kaspar stands his ground and states all will be fair. He also informs Da Vinci that Jacobs has filed a complaint against the Mayor and Police Board about conduct. Da Vinci accuses Jacobs of the misconduct, including a cover up, which piques Kaspar's interest, pending evidence to the fact. Da Vinci tries to enlist Leary's assistance, as if he issues a report that there was cover-up in the grow-op shooting, Jacobs doesn't have a leg on which to stand. On a public relations level, Da Vinci gets pushed aside from speaking at the Policeman's Ball by Jacobs, but Da Vinci insists as the Police Chair he attend and say a few words. There is a final change of plans when an informational protest by some uniforms is set up outside the ball regarding the Mayor's secret cross-training initiative. The protest was initiated by the unions as Sweeney obtained a memo from the Mayor to that fact, the memo which he shared with Forrest. Much of the overall maneuvering is thought to surround the Mayor's red light zone initiative. There is good news for the Mayor on that front when Margaret Fielding gives herself up as the perpetrator of the red light zone murder. She admits that the victim was her boyfriend Charles Waring, who was forcibly trying to take her into rehab. With the red light issue itself, Da Vinci and Manning try to negotiate a deal: Manning will get the PM to publicly support the red light zone, while Da Vinci will act as intermediary with Pacific Comm and the ad contract - these negotiations end unresolved.
- 2005–200644m6.8 (22)TV EpisodeA band of renegade police constables, led by Jan Ferris, start raiding suspected grow-ops. Da Vinci's team meets with Tom Venice, the race track owner, to discuss measures to save the track such as installing slot machines, but Da Vinci is more interested in the attractive and wealthy Billie Simms, a stable owner at the track. Zack continues his undercover work at the squat at the Watson's Building. After Zack tells them that Friedland plans to move the squat to touristy Queen Elizabeth Park, Da Vinci and Mah tell Zack to try and manipulate a move to Crab Park instead, which is on federal land and thus would additionally become a federal problem. Da Vinci tries to find the leak in City Hall regarding the advertising contract, the leak either in the Administrator's office or on the previous Council. Initial evidence points to Councillor Ferlinger, who admits to the evidence being correct but denies she being the leak. Kosmo and Finn continue their investigation of the half-way house shooting, with the constable on the scene admitting that he used a stun gun on the attacking dog, and in the ensuing scuffle with the dog's owner, who was wielding a machete, he and his partner shot the man. The constable decides to speak to a lawyer before deciding to hand or not hand over the stun gun. As the investigation of the half-way house shooting is going on, Jacobs attacks Da Vinci publicly about the shooting being the result of his soft policies of drugs. Irked, Da Vinci starts the process to find a new Police Chief. Kosmo and Finn also investigate a fatal stabbing at a pawn shop. Leary starts his investigation of the two dead aboriginal boys, Garth and Dennis, whose bodies were buried fifteen years prior. Clark Messner, who knew Garth and Dennis, recounts stories from them of a wealthy pedophile john who continually picked up aboriginal boys. Carter leads the investigation of the beating death in Stanley Park. Councillor Horne presses him to prosecute the crime as a gay bashing regardless of the evidence.
- The OCU's report on the grow-op shooting is released, the report stating that there was a fire department inspection notice posted which was a major cause of the outcome. Most officials are not happy with the report findings and question the accuracy of the report, these including Da Vinci, Savoy, Leary, Komori, Welles and Forrest. Although Jacobs is satisfied, he still needs to carefully spin the report findings. He and Klotchko decide to lay whatever police blame on Ferris' shoulders. But Ferris decides she is not going away, so Klotchko needs to do something to placate her in her chosen career path. Leary is still doing his independent investigation of the incident, but a pissed off Welles decides to file a formal complaint to the police complaints commission. Not wanting an all-out war between the police and fire & rescue, Da Vinci tries to intervene, which may be a misstep on his part. At City Hall, Da Vinci and his team do their last minute canvassing for the slot machine support, tying the slots to the hiring of more police officers. And Da Vinci's negotiations with the Port Authority and Billie Simms about development on the waterfront and the transfer of Crab Park to the City proceeds to a near conclusion. The squat at Crab Park seems to be a long term proposition, but McNab's bigger concern is finding out more about the man calling himself Joe Friedland. With the investigation on the pedophile ring, Curtis tries to insinuate himself into the investigation to cover his own tracks. After conferring with Homicide, Leary does speak to Curtis to try and get whatever valuable information about the basic framework of the pedophile ring, especially Dubreau's involvement, while taking any information about Curtis' own involvement with a grain of salt.
- Relations between the police department and fire & rescue continue to be strained. The latest incident involves a suicide jumper, each side accusing that the other was at fault for possibly not preventing the death. Kaspar, the police complaints commissioner, has decided to pursue fire & rescue's complaint regarding the grow-op shooting. Da Vinci warns Kaspar, being part of the RCMP which has in the past had strained relations with the Vancouver Police Department, that the investigation should be impartial. Welles is satisfied that the complaint is moving forward and he will accept whatever the outcome, whereas Jacobs is pissed off that it is proceeding at all. Jacobs and Klotchko advise their members not to cooperate with Kaspar, Ferris and Arkin who agree. Chick may be a tougher one for them to convince. With other business, both Da Vinci and Jacobs try to muscle in on the Prime Minister's upcoming visit to Vancouver. This task seems difficult, especially for the mayor, who wants the PM to tour the Red Light District. Jacobs does whatever he can to kibosh the mayor's plans, but the mayor does manage to get his wish, in part because the PM wants to recruit Da Vinci to run for his party either federally or for the provincial premiership. The tour, however, does not go as smoothly as Da Vinci would have hoped. With the Hastings Racecourse, the slot machine vote does not pass due to some unexpected councilor votes. The vote ends up being somewhat immaterial as Manning, the day previous, sold the racecourse to Roger Woo, who expects some concessions from the mayor to keep the track operating, namely three casino licenses. But Sandra Ferlinger, the councilor who switched her vote against, explains to Da Vinci that a better option is to declare the racecourse a heritage site, in which case it would revert back to the city for operation. Da Vinci learns through other sources that Manning's sale of the track to Woo was a grand scheme between the two to divert track business to another site owned by Woo in the suburbs. With the pedophile case, Leary receives a first hand account from a young male prostitute, Andrew, who was taken to the Century Club two weeks previous. Jacobs wants to proceed with charges against Dubreau, however Leary wants to wait to uncover more evidence as the ring seems to be larger than just Dubreau. The latest possible group involved in the ring is the BC judicial society. With the Stanley Park gay bashing, Katie tries to plea bargain - information of who did the killing for a guarantee of any prosecution against her. And Friedland suspects that Zack may be the mole at the squat.
- 2005–200644m7.2 (22)TV EpisodeThe Mayor proposes a drop-in center for the hookers in the fenced and gated red-light district for their health and safety - they would be required to go there following any business transaction in the district. He now needs to sell the concept to everyone, the biggest hurdle being Jacobs. However Da Vinci, Mah and Berger don't see it as an issue as they can get rid of the chief under the ploy of an early performance review tied to budget overruns in the department. Da Vinci learns it may be financially costly as they may need to buy-out the chief's contract. Jacobs and Klotchko meet with union chief, Earl Sweeney, to discuss police department PR problems. Although the aboriginal community is uncertain Leary can accomplish anything, they cooperate with him on his investigation of the repeated rapes of young aboriginal boys, including the deaths of Garth and Dennis. Messner admits that he knows more than he previously told Leary. Leary also receives information that the perpetrator could have been a radio talk show host and that the police may have been involved. Ferris and her gang of renegade constables decide to take down what they suspect is a biker grow-op regardless of if there are any other investigations on the house. There, they find that the fire department, in a new initiative, has placed a notice on the door stating that they are investigating the house, a suspected grow-op, as a fire hazard. This measure clears out the house, which irks Ferris and her gang who want the glory. Based on a tip, Carter brings in a youth, Colin Rainier, as a suspect in the Lost Lagoon beating death. Rainier implicates some of his colleagues, among which are a bunch of girls, led by someone named Katie. Kosmo and Finn investigate a series of car shooting deaths, some of which look to be mistaken identities. Tom Venice gives Da Vinci short notice that he is selling the racetrack. Da Vinci negotiates with Manning possibly to buy the track. Zack convinces Friedland to take the squat to Crab Park instead of the touristy Queen Elizabeth Park. Zack and Da Vinci also know that Jacobs has a mole in the squat, but Zack doesn't yet know who it is. Just as they are about to move, the police raid the squat and haul off Friedland while Da Vinci, Zack's supposed protector, is doing a PR stint with Billie Simms.
- The Red Light District opens relatively smoothly, despite both the johns and the girls being wary about the openness. Businesses in the area are starting to rally against it, the business coalition led by Mina Basra. Klotchko and Sweeney get tipped that the city is doing a search for a new police chief. The city starts their interviews and get valuable first hand information on the value and effectiveness of cross training. There seems to be unofficial cooperation happening already with the fire department posting inspection notices on suspected grow-ops, which has the effect of the house being vacated. However Ferris and her gang have different ideas, Ferris who wants to make a name for herself in the police ranks. Klotchko and Jacobs also do whatever they can to thwart the fire departments measures as well as the success of the Red Light District. Despite the police raid, the squat successfully moves from the Watson's Building to Crab Park. However Da Vinci is dismayed to learn that Zack has taken a leadership role in the squat, which would not look good if that were ever made public. Kosmo and Finn continue their investigation of the drive-by shootings, one of the deaths who looks to be the victim of mistaken identity. The real target of the shootings seems to be an ex-police officer, Vijay Kumar, who was fired from the force due to suspicions of corruption. In his investigation of the aboriginal boys' case, Leary discovers the name of the suspected ex-deejay involved, his name being Anthony Mottola. Mottola's daughter provides Leary with some incriminating evidence against her father. The evidence also points to there being an organized pedophile ring. Both Manning and Woo independently show interest in buying the race track, only if the slot machines are approved.
- 2005–200644m6.9 (17)TV EpisodeBoth sides continue gathering their support on the cross training issue. The side against, led by Jacobs and Klotchko, are spreading the word amongst their and the fire department's union chiefs. They're all saying that there are some senior people amongst their ranks who are in favor of crossing training, and it's those people who have to go. These people include Komori and perhaps Parmir. And although Jacobs has issued a directive to his constables not to support the fire department when they post inspection notices on suspected grow-ops, some constables are unofficially defying the directive. On the side for, Da Vinci needs to make his moves a little less public until he plots his entire strategy around the issue. Berger and Forsythe, feeling the heat, convince Da Vinci to put the issue on the back burner for the time being. Ferris and her gang are relishing in the positive publicity in their take-down of a grow-op. The next one, however, does not goes as well, as both the grow-op sitter and Constable Barb Tremaine are killed in the process. Ferris is devastated as it not only puts a crimp on her long term plan, but she was attracted to Tremaine. Ferris' defense is that a warrant was on its way and that the fire department unknowing to her and her colleagues placed an inspection notice on the door which warned the home owners. Tremaine's death places the issue of cross training back on the table. To deflect attention away from Tremaine's death, Jacobs orders his constables to stir up action in the Red Light District. Things turn again when there is a beating in the Red Light District after Da Vinci orders Jacobs to stop harassing people in the district, which Jacobs interprets, for his own purposes, as not having any police presence at all in the district. Da Vinci orders Zack from the squat at Crab Park, saying that his work is complete. But Zack now has an emotional investment in what's happening at the squat. Da Vinci meets with Friedland about an extended stay at Crab Park, this news which gets back to Jacobs by his undercover operative. Friedland is aware that the police have someone amongst his midst and asks Da Vinci to investigate. Leary gets some positive results from the photographs provided by Mottola's daughter, including the identification of some of the boys involved, and the hotel where the boys were taken. This evidence leads to the suspected involvement of a prominent businessman named James Dubreau. Kosmo and Finn learn more about Kumar's investigations into South Asian gangs in an effort to clear his name. Kosmo and Finn are looking for a undercover officer to infiltrate the gang activity.
- The issue of the fire inspection notice at the grow-op site comes into question. Da Vinci thinks it a little too convenient that one was found after a series of seasoned investigators didn't find it in their initial walk-through. Winters admits in confidence to Klotchko that she is unsure that a notice was at the scene. And even Jacobs admits he is skeptical. Klotchko tries to manage the situation internally, seeming to support Ferris in whatever she needs, while not allowing her back to work. He will not even allow her to attend Tremaine's funeral. The fire and police committee does however come back with a recommendation for a coordinated approach to grow-ops, which delights Da Vinci. A B&E occurs at the Coroner's office, and Leary's computer which was stolen. This may have something to do with Dubreau, as Dubreau, Norton and Curtis confer about managing the situation, which includes keeping tabs on Manny Zappata. Despite the theft, the investigation continues: Leary has identified the hotel where the boys were taken and Kosmo and Finn try to determine Curtis' actual role in the pedophile ring. However, Zappata and Messner get nervous about actually testifying, which may kibosh Leary being able to lay charges. The hookers are now wary of the safety of the Red Light District and move back to their old haunts. Jacobs uses the missing women's case as a smoke-screen for police under-funding, not tying it in with the purpose of the Red Light District. With City Hall business, Da Vinci shores up support for slots at the racetrack and negotiates between all the players regarding development on the waterfront in and around Crab Park. Katie is brought in on assault charges, displaying that she is capable of violent crime. Friedland may not be as he seems, and Zack does some digging into his possible real identity.
- Da Vinci is dealing with the fall-out from the homicide in the red light district, the homicide taking place during the Prime Minister's tour. Despite the Prime Minister still giving Da Vinci his support in private, it seems that opposition to the red zone is mounting, connecting the death to the zone itself. The attention is international, and some of Da Vinci's councilors don't want to see the City become an international laughing stock. Mina Basra and the wife of the deceased decide to sue the city over the incident, stating that it would not have happened if the red zone did not exist. Under this pressure, Da Vinci sticks to his guns and keeps the zone open. The police complaints commission starts their investigation of the grow-op shooting. Marx and Zurokowski, the two interviewers, are facing what looks to be institutionalized non-compliance by the police department, although Savoy is the one police officer who does speak to them. However, Savoy doesn't mention that he was told by Klotchko not to cooperate. The commission extends its investigation to fire & rescue, who openly decide not to cooperate despite it being them who initiated the complaint. Da Vinci decides that it might be good idea to co-opt lawyer Phil Rosen, who has dealt with complaints against the police, to make sure the interests of the mayor's office are protected in the investigation. Rosen is more than happy to help Da Vinci bury Jacobs. Clay Douglas and Reed Baker, the two that Katie has identified as the instigators of the gay bashing death at Stanley Park, are brought in for questioning. They, in turn, implicate Katie as being the sole instigator. Woo threatens to sue the City over the heritage designation of the race track. Leary discovers more conclusive evidence against Dubreau in the pedophile ring, but still hesitates to bring him in officially as it will prompt others in the ring to go underground. McNab and Friedland partially clear the air with each about their true identities.
- The investigation of the grow-op deaths gets under way. Jacobs, in an effort to distance the police department from the killings, calls in the Organized Crime Unit, stating that it is their jurisdiction since it is purported that a major drug organization is involved. This is only one area of disagreement as Chick, the lead investigator, states that the grow-op involved was a "Mom and Pop" operation. The other major disagreement is between Ferris, Winters, by association the police department and the fire department. Ferris and Winters emphatically state that they saw a inspection notice at the grow-op issued by the fire department, that notice which was not recovered at the scene. Ferris and Winters imply that the fire department, protecting their own, took the notice away from the crime scene. Komori flatly denies that a notice was issued at that house. After Da Vinci gets police and fire together to discuss the situation amicably, an inspection notice is found at the crime scene, five days after the fact. Leary's investigation into Dubreau gets deeper. Leary investigates a former charge against Dubreau, that issued by a former street hustler, Manny Zapata. Zapata names a former narc as an accomplice of Dubreau's, that narc being Brian Curtis. The Red Light District gets a little quieter following the beating of a john. Both the johns and girls in the district are nervous. An official citizen's coalition of purported business owners of the district has lodged a complaint against the district. Mah however can't find any of the "names" on the coalition as being business owners of the area. It seems as if Billie Simms may be involved. Da Vinci tries to maintain control of the squat at Crab Park, especially as it is on federal land and the Port Authority, to whom the land belongs, wants the land back for major development. Katie is brought in for questioning regarding the gay bashing death in Stanley Park.
- This episode and the series picks up where "Da Vinci's Inquest" left off. We see Dominic Da Vinci has moved from the halls of the city coroner's office to those of City Hall as the newly elected Mayor of Vancouver. One of his first official PR opportunities as Mayor takes place at a night out at the local Hastings Park horse racetrack. With his two aides, Sam Berger and Rita Mah, running detail duty, Da Vinci is introduced to Lloyd Manning and Roger Woo, who independent of each other have the potential to be the savior of the financially troubled racetrack as its new owner. Further PR for Da Vinci takes place the next morning when Da Vinci is invited to a pancake breakfast at an elementary school located in a poorer section of town. The school's principal voices to Da Vinci her opposition to a proposed park nearby. More green space appears to be a motherhood issue, however her opposition stems from her fears that it will be a breeding ground for drug dealers and pimps preying on her students. The pimps are especially troublesome in her mind as the school is located close to the City's known "kiddie stroll". Two homicides investigations are also underway the morning after. The first is of a formerly diagnosed mentally ill man living in a half-way house in a effort to get readjusted to community life. The investigation is led by reinstated Homicide Det. Angela Kosmo and her new partner Det. Joe Finn, formerly of Internal Investigations. In that previous life, Finn did investigate some unfounded allegations of police impropriety by Angela which led to her demotion from Homicide. On the surface, their new partnership does not seem to be suffering from their past animosity. Also on site are Kosmo's former partner Mick Leary, who is there in his new role as City Coroner - Da Vinci's old job - the detective's superior Police Chief Bill Jacobs and his opportunistic second in command Sgt. Charlie Klotchko, the latter two who voice their opposition to such half-way houses located in residential neighborhoods. Kosmo and Finn eventually solve this homicide, perpetrated by a half-way house neighbor with night vision goggles and a high-powered rifle, but not before Finn is attacked and bitten by the neighbor's dog, who Finn shoots dead. The second homicide looks to be a gay-bashing which took place along what is known as the gay stroll in Stanley Park. Councillor Jason Horne has taken a special interest in this case as a representative of the gay community. Det. Chick Savoy, also new to homicide from his previous role as police forensics expert, and Lou from the coroner's office undercover two bodies of young boys found buried deep in a city park. Long deceased and found near the site where another body had previously been found, Leary suspects that they are the bodies of two missing aboriginal youth and that the three bodies are associated with a possible pedophile ring from about 10 or 15 years earlier. The political differences between Da Vinci and Jacobs resurface - not that they ever probably went away - in the police's handling of a squat in a commercial building which is planned for redevelopment, the squat led by homeless activist Joe Friedland. Jacobs uses the force of the police department to harass the squatters, while Da Vinci prefers to negotiate with Friedland, with whom he promises to find suitable permanent accommodation for those homeless in the squat. This episode with the squat is just start of the power struggle between the Mayor and the Police Chief in their roles as City officials. They also clash on manpower issues, the unresolved conflict resulting in each side plotting against the other while Jacobs and Klotchko continually feign cooperation with the Mayor. Back with the homeless issue, Da Vinci calls in retired traffic detective Zack McNab to act as his undercover eyes and ears at the squat. Two developments take place back at City Hall. The first has Manning, who looks to be the main contender for purchasing the racetrack, accusing that there was a leak in information which caused him to lose the City's lucrative advertising contract during the previous administration. Da Vinci needs to placate Manning in the continuing negotiation for the racetrack purchase, but also believes there may be some merit to Manning's accusations. With the racetrack, part of the selling feature may be Da Vinci's ability to influence Council to install slot machines at the track to increase revenues both for its owner and for the City. The second is Da Vinci's first meeting with City Administrator Julia Forsythe, who discuss the possibility of cross training between the police and fire departments in an effort to increase efficiency, increase overall manpower and save money. Forsythe supports the idea in theory and promises to look further into this issue. This ends a busy first week for the new Mayor.
- Leary and Shannon investigate a home invasion double homicide. While in his basement, George Brooks heard his wife screaming upstairs. Getting to her, Brooks found an intruder who killed her and the intruder who Brooks subsequently killed. The intruder is identified as a homeless man who did odd jobs around the neighbourhood and who had self-professed mental health issues. Something about Brooks' story doesn't sit right with Shannon, who looks for evidence to corroborate his gut feeling. Elsewhere, Da Vinci is dealing with two longer term cases. One is the moving of the cemetery associated with Ravenhood Hospital. When the moving process discovers multiple bodies in a few caskets, Da Vinci wants to deem the cemetery a criminal investigation site. Kelly totally disagrees with Da Vinci's assessment. And Fleming and Da Vinci can finally speak to a still severely burned but awake Glen Moorehouse about the fire at his house that killed his wife and children. Meanwhile, Kosmo continues to probe Jim Schulte regarding his wife's hiking death in Switzerland, this a favour to Kurtz's neighbour, Laura Maitland. Maitland seems to have more problems in her life than just wanting answers regarding Schulte.
- Da Vinci and Fire Marshal Sid Fleming investigate a massive house fire which claimed the lives of two children and their mother. The sole survivor of the fire is the father/husband of the deceased, Glen Moorehouse, he who suffered severe burns. The troubling aspect is that Moorehouse is a survivor of another remarkably similar house fire five years earlier, where his first wife and their children died. Tragic coincidence or...? Equally troubling for Da Vinci is that Morris Steadman is on the scene, still grieving and still angry. Elsewhere, Leary and Shannon are working on the kidnapping case of Alice Meisner, whose father, Ed Meisner, is a wealthy lumber magnate. Alice and Ed have somewhat of a strained relationship due to her drug use, but Ed never denied her anything. The ransom drop, monitored undercover by Leary and Shannon, doesn't go according to plan. Even before locating Alice's car which provides some evidence of the kidnappers, the authorities suspect that Alice herself may be part of staging her own kidnapping. Ultimately, "a big whiff of a real bad smell" lead the authorities to Alice. Meanwhile, Rose Williams makes it known that she'd like to be promoted to Homicide, which doesn't sit well with Shannon. And Sue tells Kosmo of a new "business relationship of convenience" she has with a dirty vice cop named Brian - whose badge she stole - who has an equally dirty narc cop friend named Joe. Kosmo wants this information under wraps until she investigates.
- Da Vinci calls for Vancouver to establish a red light district following the death of a high-priced escort and with the continuing mystery of the 28 missing prostitutes, all presumed dead.

- Shannon continues his cooperative relationship with Anna de la Costa - the Mayor's housekeeper - who is being pursued by immigration officials. Da Vinci learns from Pierce that Council is contemplating pushing the Mayor out of office, leaving conservative Deputy Mayor Joyce Simkins as the leading candidate to replace him. However, Pierce thinks that his left leaning party would have a chance of winning the next election with Da Vinci as the mayoral candidate, an idea Da Vinci thinks ludicrous. But Da Vinci, with Kelly's assistance, plays both sides when he speaks further to Sandonovo and Gohill about the federal government's view of who and what they would like to see in City Hall. Also ludicrous in Da Vinci's mind is the City's new anti-panhandling by-law, but that doesn't stop him from being a victim of a panhandler. Williams and Curtis attend to a death they think is a suicide. The victim is known to Curtis. A mystery occurs in that investigation when important evidence goes missing. Sue's new friend in detention, Wendy Hopkins, shows her true colors when she has a visitor. "Bad cop" Marla checks in with Leary regarding the Will Summers case. Leary finally confronts Rob Simms with the DEA, who was the one who put Will under surveillance. Kurtz and Kosmo have a discussion about Kosmo's professional future. And Shannon shares with Da Vinci who and what he saw in the hotel's surveillance cameras.
- Sue stumbles into Rick Prentice's apartment and finds him dead. Totally freaked, she runs out, but the next day informs the authorities. During the investigation, Homicide - which includes Kosmo, Leary, Shannon and Williams - freeze Curtis out, who tries to get in on the premise that Rick was his informant. In reality, the Homicide detectives all know in their hearts that Curtis killed Rick. With Rick's murder, Councilor Pierce finally decides to talk to Homicide about being blackmailed by Curtis, and admittedly asking Curtis if he could make Rick just "go away". Kosmo and Leary ask Pierce if he is willing to assist in wearing a wire in his next meeting with Curtis. Curtis finally gets his in in the investigation when he catches up with Sue. He admits to her that he can and will make either her or Pierce take the fall for Rick's death. As such, a scared Sue agrees to cooperate with Curtis. Elsewhere, Da Vinci investigates a series of drug overdose deaths. It looks like there's some bad dope out on the street. He needs to find the supplier and get the dope off the street. The Mayor, having found some more money, gets closer to helping Da Vinci open the safe injection site. And Willa Edwards finds another witness for Da Vinci in the Darcy Charles beating, albeit a witness with a self-admitted bad history of his own.
- The Coroner's Office and Homicide investigate the finding of dead body - Robert Magus - buried in the yard of a private home. Beyond the fact that the body was obviously buried, the initial findings do not seem to indicate foul play. When a second body is found on site, the investigation points to the previous owner of the home, Viola McKnight, who ran a bordering house for pensioners there and where Magus was living when it is assumed he dies. An elderly woman, Viola, with her mentally challenged adult son Bert, has run a series of boarding houses catering to pensioners with mental issues. She currently is doing so at another site. In reality, Viola, has been taking charge of her tenants' finances, systematically poisoning and burying them, and then committing fraud by taking on that identity and collecting on their personal incomes such as pension checks. With each move, she has taken on that as an assumed name, her current alias being Elizabeth Grass. When the authorities catch up with Viola/Elizabeth, they know that she is guilty, but she plays her caring but doddering little old lady routine to a T. Homicide admits they don't have enough concrete evidence for a conviction. Viola's son, Bert, may be of some assistance, especially after his dog, Plato, is found dead after a tenant feeds him her poisoned food. The balance the authorities face is placing all the guilt on Viola without implicating an obviously innocent Bert.
- A charred dead body is found outside the wreckage of a burning car, the body which was bound before the fire. The car is registered to Phil Wilkins, a pool hustler. After uncovering some evidence, Shannon and Leary learn that the body is that of Wilkins, who lived life high but had no money. But the nature of the fire indicates that the perpetrator would have also suffered significant burns. Shannon and Leary suspect either one of his pool colleagues who he stiffed or Bobby, the manager of Wilkins' local pool hall as Wilkins was having a clandestine affair with Bobby's wife, Jessica. Part of Jessica's story may provide answers as to the death, and whether Shannon and Leary have to divulge the affair to Bobby. Da Vinci investigates the death of a young teen-aged woman, who was found dead inside a shipping truck. Someone was shipping her across the border from Portland to Vancouver, but a delay in transport caused the oxygen supply she was carrying to run out. The trunk's addressee, Darryl Morris, states that he was not expecting a shipment. Later, a second identical trunk addressed to Darryl Morris is found in the bonding warehouse, this time with a dead young teen-aged boy. Da Vinci decides the only way to find out who was actually expecting the trunks is to make the delivery of the now empty trunks and see who picks them up. But it's a discovery by Patricia that provides the strongest clues as to the identities of the two deceased and who was supposed to get them out of the trunks. Back at the coroner's office, Morris Steadman, still grieving over the death of his daughter, asks to review all Da Vinci's files as he still thinks her death was homicide. On some personal fronts, Sunny's car is keyed, with Leary thinking he knows the culprit. And Da Vinci starts what may be a relationship based on a chance encounter out of circumstance.

After doing some canvassing, Leary and Shannon learn that there have been altercations between "spotters" protecting the prostitutes and the neighborhood residents, who have an organized patrol to get the prostitutes and johns out of the area. The deceased was a john, leaving the prime suspects being either neighborhood patrol or spotters. Glen Paul, also known as Shorty, is a spotter who seems to be in the middle of the incident. Da Vinci investigates the death of Brad Greig, whose dead body was found trapped above a garage door of the condominium building he managed. The garage door was inspected only five weeks prior and was deemed then in good working order. Gregory Randolph, a tenant who found Greig, reported that Grieg earlier had an argument with another tenant, Sam Cooney, about the not functioning garage door. Da Vinci thinks Cooney had something to do with Greig's death, this view strengthened after garage door maintenance figures out what happened with the door itself. Da Vinci eventually accuses Cooney, who fights back. Elsewhere, Kurtz asks Kosmo to deal with a pesky neighbor who has reported a suspicious accident involving her professor boss and his wife, the latter who died in a hiking accident in Switzerland. Shannon faces a personal crisis with Lana, who is now in a nursing home. Da Vinci warns Kelly about okaying the moving of the bodies in the cemetery associated with the former Ravenhood Psychiatric Hospital. And Sue identifies the cop who has been using her services and doing drugs with her as Det. Brian Curtis.
- Da Vinci, McNab and McNab's daughter Ramona investigate what looks to be a hit and run death. Although they find evidence at the site, they can't conclusively fit the pieces together. It isn't until they find out about the deceased's history in the area and locate the flatbed truck that was seen at the site of the death that they get their necessary answers. Leary and Shannon continue their investigation of the gas station robbery. All they know at this point is that the primary suspects are two aboriginal men. They apprehend Tommy, an arms dealer who they suspect provided the guns used in that homicide. In the continuing saga with Glen Moorehouse, Morris Steadman does whatever he can to find out about the case, which irks Da Vinci.

Kosmo finds out through secondary sources that the drug dealer's name is Danny Zinn, his girlfriend's name is Carla. Taylor is open with Kosmo about not wanting to be implicated in turning over the girlfriend informant, but Curtis does whatever he can to keep Kosmo away from Carla. And Leary seems to be unraveling emotionally, this due to the lingering issues around Josie's shooting.
- Three year old Terrence Ellison is found dead by his eight year old sister, Julie, in their backyard from what looks to be a head injury sustained from a fall from the swing. Based on the autopsy, Patricia and Sunny surmise he died from being shaken. On first glance, neither the parents, Ben and Claire, or Julie are capable of committing such a violent act, but the authorities cannot see how it could not have been one of the three that caused the death. Upon a site visit, Family Services is unconcerned about Julie being also physically abused if it was one of the parents. After hearing the news of how Terrence died, Ben is in denial, while Claire questions every move in her childrearing. After Da Vinci takes drastic measures with Julie, the steadfast resolve of the collective Ellison family crumbles when one member admits to what happened. Meanwhile, Shannon and Winston investigate the death of Bobby Symes, who was shot twice in the head. The first leads they have are missed telephone calls on his cell phone from Ed, a photo of his girlfriend Ruby in his wallet, and small amount of dope stashed in his wallet. Both Ed and Ruby don't seem totally forthright in their statements. In fact, both provide misleading and intentionally wrong information. Called on their individual lies by Shannon, both Ed and Ruby tell conflicting stories of what really happened. It isn't until Ruby and Ed get face to face that the truth comes out.
- Da Vinci investigates the death of an eight-year-old child. Shannon and Leary investigate the double shooting of a bouncer and a stripper.
- A basement suite fire claims the lives of two, Daniel Dupont and his infant son Peter, the house which was owned by Daniel's father who is distraught over the incident. Da Vinci and the fire investigator are about to rule the fire accidental, until Daniel's father offers some information about threatening shoplifters at Daniel's collector LP business and until the investigators find some cigarette butts outside the basement suite's window. Rose Williams, who helped Da Vinci with some robbery information, tries to use this case as a stepping stone into Homicide. Kosmo, in her continuing investigation of Alex Mills, wants to dig up a newly poured concrete floor in one of his abandoned houses, Kosmo thinking that Alex's wife, Sarah, is buried underneath. Some new evidence prematurely stops the excavation at the house, but not before Chick finds a body, however not that of Sarah. Despite finding the body, Kosmo can no longer hold Mills, but convinces Kurtz to allow her to conduct an undercover surveillance operation on Mills. Kosmo is somewhat surprised at Kurtz's choice of the undercover operator. At the archaeological dig site, Sunny discovers more bodies in shipping crates and a separate body with a bullet wound to the head. Chick surmises that the separate body was someone of Chinese descent. The Chinese community becomes involved, wanting to ensure the bodies get a proper burial. On a personal front, Leary and Sunny's relationship seems to be on the skids.
- A murder results from the police patrolling of the safe injection site. Despite being demoted to robbery, Kosmo is relieved that the Crown is finally investigating Curtis and Finn. A potential witness to Will's murder comes forward. The mayor makes a decision about his future.
- Five year old Alex Woods goes missing, presumably drowned by the log booms in the Fraser River after he supposedly jumped or fell off a pier. The death becomes suspicious when Helen discovers that Alex's mother, Sarah, lost another child five years previous in another outdoor accidental situation. But Da Vinci has to walk a fine line as there is a possibility she is innocent in both deaths. The suspicions continue after they find Alex's body. Both Da Vinci and Kurtz are also concerned that Sarah has yet another infant child at home, and that at least the two youngest were somewhat unwanted pregnancies from the fathers' perspectives. Meanwhile, Dr. Ian Stroud dies in an automobile accident. During the autopsy, Sunny finds that Dr. Stroud was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, the reason it not noticed at the accident scene being that the bullet had exited his body and the shot was clean. The rationale for the shooting becomes clearer when Leary and Shannon discover he performed abortions and was on an anti-abortion hit list. They narrow down the killer after determining the shot was fired at close range. Elsewhere, Fred Turner is suspected of murdering his wife, Susan, based on speculation by a neighbor, Molly Wolnic, who had reported domestic disturbances at the Turners' previously. This time, she heard an argument, saw Fred carry something outside, and since that incident Susan has not been seen despite usually working in her garden. Fred seems like a up-front guy to Kosmo and LaBoucane, the investigators, until they catch him in a few lies, namely about some blood in the kitchen and stories about his missing dog, Ginger. It isn't until Susan's body is discovered that the full story emerges. Meanwhile, Leary learns what Shannon has been doing in his free time.
- Da Vinci is front and center when the media learns of the mayor's involvement in the hit-and-run accident. Leary uncovers a possible Russian connection in the murder of his childhood friend. A longshoreman's wife insists her husband was killed by his co-workers.
- Leary and Shannon are back at work following Josie's shooting. Leary is still feeling the emotions of the incident, and reflects on his life. Shannon wants to make Leary feel that he is there for him by telling him a dark secret about his past. With work, Kurtz delegates the worst jobs to them, their first case being an abandoned car belonging to Jessica Bailey. Homicide is investigating if only because there is a good deal of blood on the back seat. Jessica is missing despite having her car listed for sale. She is pregnant and soon to give birth. Her bank account has systematically been emptied. She was contemplating giving the baby up for adoption since her boyfriend was not too happy about the pregnancy. Meanwhile, the dead body of Donna Sykes is found in a motor boat run aground on the beach, the death an apparent suicide. Donna's husband, Warren, cannot understand why his wife would commit suicide, especially since she had just given birth to her first baby, a baby that the Sykes had been trying to conceive for quite some time. The cases of Jessica Bailey and Donna Sykes merge into one when Jessica Bailey is found, when Wanda's autopsy provides some interesting findings and when Warren finds some blood stained sheets in his house. Elsewhere, Patricia wants to use the deceased body of Queenie King to do an autopsy for her class, Da Vinci not too happy that Patricia seemed to purposely circumvent him to achieve the necessary approvals. At the archaeological dig, two bystanders seem overly interested at what's going on. And Kosmo continues to foster her relationship with Sue, who uses Kosmo at every turn she can.
- Adolescent Byron Mizlowski is found dead on the shores of Burrard Inlet. It looks as if he either jumped or was pushed off the Ironworker's Memorial Bridge. Byron was a bright and responsible child and his parents gave him much leeway. They think that his biological father may have something to do with the death as Byron was physically abused by him in the past. However Patricia discovers in the autopsy that Byron was also sexually abused, as recent as the night of his death. Det. Bobby Marlowe from Sex Crimes thinks this case is linked to his case involving alleged sexual molestation of children by Byron's band teacher, Richard Zeto. Marlowe has a victim, Ryner Paget, who is remembering the sexual molestation incidents after the fact. To appease the territorial issue between Homicide and Sex Crimes, Da Vinci suggests he seize Zeto's property under the Coroner's Act to share between the investigators. After formally talking to Zeto, the authorities have much evidence against him but not enough to convict on any of the supposed charges. Once news spreads within the community of the investigation against Zeto, other evidence surfaces. Tragic consequences occur before the authorities discover who killed Byron. Meanwhile, Leary investigates a blood spattered apartment but no body. And Winston has a hit and run dead body. They don't yet know that they two are related.

They do find Michael's house and the gruesome discovery inside. There is however one family member unaccounted for. They think they've found the missing son. Unfortunately for Leary, he can relate to what he sees as the motive for the deaths. Shannon and Williams continue their investigation of the dead body found in the field. He ended up being James Toresi, a well respected stock broker. The autopsy determined that he was tortured - he slowly bled to death from several wounds - and a safety deposit box key was found in his stomach. The contents of the box lead them further in the investigation. The dead body of Deborah Moyer is found in a known shooting gallery. Da Vinci uses this death as yet another piece in the arsenal for his plan for a safe injection site. The Mayor and his assistant Claire continue to court Da Vinci for Chief of Police.

Meanwhile, Da Vinci and Shannon investigate the death of William Mattucci, who was found dead of stab wounds to the chest. According to his wife, he had a history of attempted suicides; the knife in his hand would indicate he took his own life. By circumstance, Constable Thurman notices blood stains in the bathroom of the Mattucci's downstairs tenant, Lena Whelan. The blood stains end up being more than meets the eye, which Whelan knows as she runs off during the investigation. The authorities find Whelan, who tells a story of domestic problems both in the Mattucci household and her own household which led to Mattucci's accidental death. Elsewhere, Da Vinci speaks to Joan Hanes, a witness in Darcy Charles' assault. Sue continues to assist Kosmo and Leary on the sting against Curtis.

Her husband, Lorne, who called 911, was with her in the back seat of their car when the authorities arrived. Marlene was bound in duct tape. Leary and Shannon find that the existence of Marlene was a mystery to most who knew Lorne. Information and evidence shows that Marlene may have been brainwashed and/or unlawfully confined by Lorne. Lorne portrays himself as not possessing all his mental faculties, but Leary and Shannon are unsure if this portrayal is an act or reality. The autopsy uncovers some useful information but Lorne ultimately needs to answer the questions for the authorities to really know the truth.

Da Vinci traces Wiley's steps from that evening, which included a bar crawl, several drinks and an altercation with bouncers at a bar. Da Vinci has to determine if the bouncers' actions directly caused Wiley's death. Some paint fragments embedded into Wiley's head wound may provide some vital answers. With Carla and Danny's murders, Kurtz orders Kosmo to drop the investigation on Curtis, thinking Sue's information unreliable. Kosmo continues to investigate on her own, with both Sue and Taylor thinking that Curtis did kill Carla.
