Dominic hopes to find the identity of a man found dead in a railroad car along with how he could have managed to get locked in there in the first place.

Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Patricia finds that Queenie had a tubal ligation. She then suspends the autopsy she discovers a bruise pattern that is suspected to have from restraints and calls in Kosmo. She points out a burn mark.

• Kosmo talks to Rae again and manages to get the name of her dealer, Irish Billy who's already been arrested on drug charges. He gives her the names of the two girls who knew her. One is Rae, the other is Sue. Both have the same marks as Queenie and Patricia learns they're consistent with zap straps. Kosmo learns from Billy that a guy named Alex Mills from whom he buys dope and has heard he's into weird things with hookers. She goes in and arrests him on the dope warrant and finds a room of his with a bed and sexual related material.

• Patricia discovers Queenie had her tubal ligation done when she was 15 and that the doctor has a history of performing it on other aboriginal girls. Since she can't get the doctor to talk to her, she has Dominic to go talk to him.

Characters

• Mick calls to have flowers sent to Josie's funeral.

• Sunny confronts Mick about a rumour that Josie was interested in him. He assures he didn't tell her because he didn't feel there wasn't anything worth to tell.

• When Leo confesses they he probably shouldn't have told Mick about his role in Charlie Josephs murder, Mick accuses him of thinking he was hiding something. Leo assures him that it was because he felt some guilt and didn't want Mick to feel the same thing about Josie.

Referbacks

• After ribbing Lou for losing the body in the limo, Dominic recalls to Mick and Josie what happened in "Oppenheimer Park".

Quotes

• Dominic: You guys ever get any background on her?

Leo: What, you mean why she turned out to be such a whacko?

Dominic: Yeah.

Leo: No. Probably turned out that she fell on her head when she was little.

Dominic: Is that the source of that pathology, Leo, is it? Bump on the head?

Leo: Well, yeah, I heard that. Actually, I read an article about that.

Dominic: Really?

Leo: Yeah. That sociopaths have that in common - head injuries.

Dominic: I'd like to read that article.

Leo: Well, I'll have my dentist send it over to you or you can go by his office and steal it for yourself.

• Helen: What else?

Dominic: That's it.

Helen: There's always something else.

Dominic: No.

Helen: All right.

(Helen begins to walk away)

Dominic: Oh, Helen.

Helen: Uh-huh.

Dominic: Could you let me know when they're going to do that autopsy on the, uh, on the jumper? On the Burrard Street Bridge. His name's Roger.

Helen: Yeah.

Dominic: Oh, I see what you mean. I'm not always doing that. Am I always doing that? I don't think so.
