00:13Excuse me.
00:16Can't you see we're busy, lady?
00:19I am a morality officer, and you are breaking the law.
00:23High park, close to all at nightfall.
00:29Carousing in the park after sundown?
00:34Improper conduct in public in the length of that skirt.
00:39Oh, for Pete's sake.
01:01Who's there?
01:17Help! Someone, please!
01:20Miss Persia, are you all right?
01:22Does it look like I'm all right?
01:24No, not really.
01:25What on earth has happened?
01:27I was attacked.
01:28By whom?
01:29Not by whom, by what?
01:31What?
01:31I wasn't attacked by a man, I was attacked by a beast.
01:53Let's start at the beginning.
01:54This happened while you were on patrol?
01:57It was the end of my shift.
01:59I was on the street outside High Park
02:05when I felt the presence behind me.
02:07I turned and saw.
02:10It was enormous.
02:11Eyes wild and drooling like I was its dinner.
02:15I ran, but the beast pushed me down.
02:17How did you manage to escape?
02:19I hit and kicked with all my might.
02:23I think you met the rabid coyote Miss Cherry has been writing about.
02:27Rabbit.
02:29Does that mean, do I have rabies?
02:32That is highly unlikely.
02:34Unless, of course, you were bitten.
02:36I don't think I was.
02:38Well, you're not afraid of water, so that's a good sign.
02:41Why would I be afraid of water?
02:44Hydrophobia is a symptom of the disease.
02:47More specifically, the fear of the pain of swallowing.
02:55That does hurt.
02:58You were likely screaming a great deal during the attack.
03:02Besides, it's much too soon for hydrophobia to set in.
03:06It's a symptom that occurs much later in the disease.
03:10But I will take you to the hospital just to be certain.
03:13Perhaps they can take a look at that scratch on your cheek as well.
03:17So, I could still have rabies.
03:29Miss Berger wasn't bitten, but the doctor vaccinated her just to be safe.
03:33Well, that's a relief.
03:34But since when did coyotes start attacking people?
03:37I've been warning about the inevitability of it for weeks.
03:41Dog bites man.
03:42That's right up your alley.
03:44According to Constable Roberts, Miss Cherry here has been covering the rabid coyote situation for the Sentinel.
03:50And still, it took one of your own being affected for you to care.
03:53A nuisance animal is not the constabulary's responsibility.
03:57Nor is it the responsibility of any city agency, apparently.
03:59But people are terrified of the beast.
04:02I thought it had just been stalking small dogs.
04:04Stalking is just the beginning.
04:06I've had numerous reports of it attacking dogs.
04:09A woman's terrier was killed the other day.
04:12I see.
04:13Thank you, Miss Cherry.
04:15Can I tell my readers that the constabulary is on the case?
04:17No, you cannot.
04:18Now, if you don't mind, good day, Miss Cherry.
04:22So, what's the plan, though?
04:24I thought I would start by calling the Humane Society.
04:28The do-gooders worrying about coats and drinking fountains for horses will be no use.
04:32Get yourself down to High Park.
04:34Talk to anyone but Miss Cherry.
04:35See what you can find out.
04:45Here are Mrs. Newsome.
04:46Oh, I...
04:47I think you and your husband will be very happy in your new home.
04:50Oh, he's... he's not in...
04:51The door.
04:52Someone open...
04:53Quickly now, open the door.
04:54Open the...
04:55There you are.
04:57Apartment 402.
04:58Just up the stairs.
05:0040...
05:01No one told me there'd be stairs.
05:05Serum, cells, drafts, and devices.
05:07Crosby's Curative Creations has it all, and always for a steal.
05:12And, special today, coyote repellent made fresh this morning.
05:17Guaranteed to protect one and all from the beast of High Park.
05:21Just what exactly is this coyote repellent comprised of?
05:25Well, it's a proprietary recipe, I'm afraid.
05:28But, are you sure you will not be disappointed, sir?
05:33Uh...
05:34It's, uh, wolf urine.
05:37I beg your pardon?
05:38Unappealing though it may be, an apex predator scent is the only thing guaranteed to repel a coyote.
05:44Huh.
05:45Seems like sound science.
05:47Not all traveling medicine shows are selling snake oil.
05:52Ah, where was I?
05:55You're still depressed about the divorce.
05:58I am not depressed about anything.
06:01Why else would you want to live near the park at a time like this?
06:05At a time like what?
06:06Do you read my papers?
06:08I do.
06:09I, I, I often do.
06:11I've just been very busy with the move.
06:14Well, you might want to get caught up.
06:16Learn something about protecting yourself against the beast.
06:19The what?
06:23Here's a copy of the Sentinel.
06:26It'll tell you everything you need to know.
06:29You ask me, most trouble between humans and animals is on the biped, not the quadruped.
06:35You blame humans for the actions of a rabid coyote?
06:39Well, rabbit or not, coyotes and other creatures are being forced into contact with mankind.
06:45How do you figure, Mr. Stanton?
06:46Well, this building boom is how.
06:49More homes for humans means fewer homes for animals.
06:53City's creeping in.
06:54Slow but sure.
06:56You seen the pool they're building out at the north end?
06:59Hmm?
06:59Biggest in Canada, they say.
07:01Now, if you ask me, animals are...
07:04Was that a gunshot?
07:05Sounds like we both know no animals out here shooting a gun.
07:15You could have killed me!
07:16I thought I was saving your life!
07:18Toronto Constabulary, what is going on here?
07:21This maniac shot at me!
07:23I shot at the coyote that's been terrorizing people!
07:25That was my employer's German shepherd.
07:27The gunfire scared him off.
07:29Were either you or the dog injured?
07:31This boar missed by a mile.
07:33But if I don't find Klaus, he may as well shoot me.
07:37Stick around, I'll be happy to oblige.
07:39Sir, is that a threat?
07:41Call it what you want.
07:43I'm not leaving this park until I take the beast down.
07:46Suit yourself.
07:47You're coming with me.
07:51Klaus?
07:52It's only a matter of time before someone is killed either by the beast
07:56or by some idiot who's trying to kill it himself.
07:58This has to end here.
08:01All right.
08:01The Chief Constable and myself have formulated a plan.
08:08We've divided the park into 16 equal segments.
08:11Two men per segment.
08:13The first step is to clear everyone out of the park.
08:17Let's leave no stone unturned, lads.
08:19Search every path, look under every bush, search up every tree.
08:23We're certain that everyone is out.
08:25We re-enter the park at dusk.
08:28Two men per segment.
08:30We find and eliminate the coyote.
08:34Any questions?
08:36Well, in that case, what are you waiting for?
08:38Let's get cracking.
08:38Chop, chop.
08:45Thank you, folks.
08:46What's going on here?
08:48That's a police matter.
08:50Has the beast finally claimed a human life?
08:53Thankfully, no, and we aim to ensure it never does.
08:56I hope you're not going to kill it.
08:59If it's the only way to restore public safety.
09:03Shane, that thing's been good for business.
09:06I beg your pardon?
09:07My competitors are just afraid to invest in land near the park right now.
09:11Oh.
09:11You're a developer.
09:12Bartholomew Prescott.
09:14Prescott Properties.
09:15And the owner of two prime lots on Parkside Avenue.
09:18Got them for a steal.
09:19Perhaps you should try to not be so glib, Mr. Prescott.
09:23This is a serious situation.
09:25The beast has attacked one of my colleagues.
09:28And that's awful.
09:29But I won't apologize for building more apartments before City Hall passes its terrible bylaw prohibiting them.
09:36Good day, Detective.
09:39Evacuation is complete.
09:41Ready on your work.
09:42All right.
09:56All right.
10:21There.
10:22In the clearing.
10:25I guess we know what happened to Klaus.
10:28Sir?
10:29It's not important.
10:31You have a shot?
10:36I can, if I just...
10:41It's not well.
10:43No.
10:44Excess salivation, poor coordination.
10:47I think we've found our rabid coyote.
11:05It's for the best.
11:08I just saw this morning's sentinel.
11:10Is it true?
11:11Did you kill the beast?
11:13Poor thing wasn't very beastly, but yes, I did.
11:18Thank you, Constable Roberts.
11:21And thank you, Detective Murdoch, for making the park safe again.
11:25Well, I'm afraid we may not have done so just yet, Miss Berger.
11:29Constable Roberts, with me, please?
11:32Yes, sir.
11:43So much for creating the City of the Beast.
11:55Ah, Mrs. Crabtree, uh, Miss Newsome.
11:57How are you settling into the new apartment?
11:59Better this morning.
12:01Louise had me worried yesterday with all that talk of the beast of High Park.
12:05You're living near the park?
12:06Just across the street.
12:07I'll have a housewarming once I've unpacked.
12:10You might want to hold off on that.
12:11Louise, what are you doing here?
12:14I'm here to get a comment from the Chief Constable about the woman mauled to death in the park.
12:19I thought the rabid coyote had been killed.
12:22It has been.
12:23So it was another coyote that killed this woman?
12:26I'm not saying that.
12:27Then what are you saying?
12:28I'm not saying anything other than I don't want you telling your readers about this.
12:32Why would I do that?
12:33The public deserves to know.
12:35You could be inciting a panic for no good reason.
12:37For all we know, the poor woman was killed by the coyote that Robert shot.
12:42You'll give me an exclusive when you're ready to share the news.
12:45Louise, that's blackmail.
12:47Nonsense.
12:48It's tit for tat and the world runs on it.
12:51So?
12:53If you were to whisper anything about this before my say-so...
12:56Consider my lips sealed and my pen capped.
12:59Oh, Miss Cherry, I dream about that regularly.
13:11Oh, perfect timing.
13:13Miss Hart was about to deliver her report.
13:15I hope it's good news.
13:16Depends on your perspective.
13:18The victim wasn't killed by a coyote or any other animal.
13:22What about the torn flesh and scratches?
13:25Might have been made by a coyote, but it wasn't inflicted until after she was dead.
13:29How do you know that for certain?
13:30They didn't bruise or bleed.
13:33If a coyote isn't responsible for this young woman's death, then what is?
13:38Her carotid artery was slashed.
13:42And very cleanly so.
13:45This laceration was made by a knife.
13:47So then it was murder.
13:49I have no doubt about it.
13:51She was killed sometime late last night.
13:53Right.
13:54Thank you, Miss Hart.
13:59I thought the park had been evacuated.
14:02I let the constables go after the rabid coyote was found.
14:06So sometime after, the young woman went back into the park and met a killer?
14:11Unfortunately, yes.
14:13Have you identified her?
14:15No.
14:15Henry's gone around visiting local dentists in the hopes of doing so now.
14:19So she's so far gone to necessitate using dental records?
14:23No, sir, but she did wear a retainer.
14:26A what?
14:27It's a dental apparatus for aligning teeth.
14:30If we can find the dentist who made it, then it will be that much easier to identify her.
14:34What about the bites?
14:36What about them?
14:37Well, the time of death means that they weren't inflicted by a rabid coyote.
14:42Perhaps there are other coyotes in the park?
14:45Well, even though the rabid coyote was killed, the public is still primed to be terrified of them thanks to
14:51Miss Bloody Cherry.
14:52You're worried the remaining creatures will be targeted?
14:55I know they will.
14:56And the last thing we need is an idiot running around the park shooting off a rifle.
15:00Right.
15:01What do you suggest?
15:03Well, that the rest of the coyotes are put down.
15:06Officially.
15:07I won't do it.
15:08I won't take a life, any life.
15:11Unnecessarily.
15:12This is a matter of public safety.
15:14I disagree.
15:15The remaining coyotes in the park have done nothing to indicate they're a danger.
15:18That's not the point.
15:19Sir, there may be another way.
15:21Give me one good reason why I shouldn't fire you on the spot for insolence.
15:24He's the best marksman we have at this station house for a start.
15:28And he's the only constable that I would trust with this at the moment.
15:32What is it?
15:33It's a non-lethal sedation device that I've been working on.
15:37Now, you're missing the point, Murdoch.
15:39Lethal is the point.
15:40It doesn't have to be.
15:43This fires darts that are loaded with a powerful tranquilizer that will render the targets unconscious.
15:52But not dead?
15:53Not dead.
15:54Exactly.
15:55If this works, as I intend, we can sedate the remaining coyotes so that they can be moved out.
16:03At least until all the panic dies down.
16:06Let me have a look at this.
16:08Oh, careful.
16:09Let's...
16:09I know how to handle weapons.
16:12Sir, it's...
16:15Henry, whoa.
16:16Uh-oh.
16:17Whoa.
16:18Sir, I don't...
16:20I don't feel...
16:20I don't feel so good.
16:21That's got a bloody head.
16:22Trigger that.
16:23All right.
16:24Higgins.
16:26Higgins.
16:27Wake up.
16:28Wake up.
16:29I'm afraid it's not that simple, sir.
16:31How long does this sedation thing last?
16:33Well, it depends on the target's body weight.
16:36In this case, I would estimate three to four hours.
16:41Bloody hell.
16:42Three to four hours?
16:43Let's get him in Choi's office.
16:45Put him on the sofa.
16:46Very good idea.
16:47Have one of the constables help you.
16:48Where are you going?
16:49To identify our victim.
16:53Roberts!
17:05Is everything all right?
17:07It's pretty good.
17:08I've been cleared to work.
17:10So you don't have rabies?
17:12Not yet.
17:13What do you mean?
17:15What if I'm attacked again?
17:17You've read this morning Sentinel.
17:19You don't have to worry about rabid coyotes anymore.
17:21Who knows how many more of those beasts are in there?
17:24Have you seen any before the other night?
17:27No, but...
17:28Right, because coyotes like to keep their distance.
17:31As long as that's true, you have nothing to be afraid of.
17:33If that's true, then why are you still carrying around a gun?
17:37Actually, it's a non-lethal sedation device.
17:40It's a mouthful.
17:41But still, it's a weapon.
17:44Would you feel better if we patrolled together?
17:48You would.
17:49Thank you, constable Roberts.
17:51Of course.
17:59I told her.
18:01She didn't even need the thing.
18:05Her teeth work perfect.
18:07But you know how a young woman can be.
18:11How long had Adriana Fodor been your patient, Dr. Loboda?
18:17She wasn't simply my patient.
18:21She was my protege in the dental arts.
18:25And you worked together?
18:27The last three years, yes.
18:30Can't believe it.
18:31She's gone.
18:33And killed by a damn coyote.
18:37Was it unusual for Ms. Fodor to be in the park?
18:42No.
18:43Not at all.
18:44The poor girl moved house just to get closer to the place.
18:50She took walks there.
18:52Most every day.
18:54Even though she knew there was a rabid coyote about?
18:57Well, she said that her friend, Willy,
19:01told her there's no need to be concerned.
19:03Willy, you mean Mr. Stanton, the groundskeeper.
19:08Couldn't say.
19:09I never met the man.
19:11Thank goodness.
19:13Why do you say that?
19:14Because if I had,
19:16I would have choice words for him now.
19:19On that any moment.
19:23Excuse me, detective.
19:35What on earth?
19:40What are you doing?
19:42I guess the same thing, walking to a stranger's home.
19:45This isn't your home, it's mine.
19:48I'm afraid you're mistaken.
19:50I've already paid a deposit in first month's rent on this unit.
19:52No, as did I.
19:53I have a receipt to prove it.
19:55As do I.
19:59Well, we can't very well both live here.
20:01Indeed so.
20:02Which is why I put your things out in the hall.
20:11We're so lucky to have a forest in the middle of the city.
20:15I'd have said the same thing two days ago.
20:17High Park used to be a kind of sanctuary for me.
20:20It will be again.
20:22I don't think it will be.
20:23That's my own fault.
20:25How so?
20:29Promise you won't tell Detective Murdoch or anyone else?
20:32I promise.
20:35I wasn't attacked near the park.
20:38I was attacked in the park.
20:41All right.
20:43Don't you see?
20:44I was breaking the law.
20:45The park is off limits after dark, but it had been such a long day, and I couldn't resist.
20:51That doesn't make what happened your fault.
20:53Of course it does.
20:54If I had just followed the rules, none of this would have happened.
20:58No.
21:01What is it?
21:03Do you hear something?
21:04Just listen.
21:13A cardinal.
21:17What was that you were saying about a sanctuary?
21:19What are you two up to?
21:22Patrolling.
21:22Same as usual.
21:24You don't have to lie to me, Constable.
21:25I know about the dead woman.
21:27Is that right?
21:28Yes.
21:29So you might as well tell me what exactly is going on here, and why you have that gun.
21:34Actually, it's a non-lethal sedation device.
21:36That doesn't answer my question.
21:38Miss Cherry, I don't know what to tell you.
21:40All we're doing is...
21:43Aren't you going to ask me about my attack, Miss Cherry?
21:48Well, I have been curious.
21:50It was simply awful.
21:52Let me tell you, Miss Cherry, the way that I feared for my life was not like anything I've ever
21:57experienced before.
22:02Do you think it could be the murder weapon?
22:05Certainly sharp enough to have killed Miss Fodor.
22:08And you say it was just laying in the grass?
22:11Yes, on the ground.
22:12Not too far from the groundkeeper's cabin.
22:14Mr. Stanton.
22:16Sir?
22:18He's the groundskeeper.
22:19And apparently Miss Fodor was quite friendly with him.
22:24Come to think of it, he was whittling with a knife about this size when I spoke with him the
22:29other day.
22:31So he's likely to kill him?
22:33It's one way to find out.
22:49I'm so sorry, Mrs. Newsome.
22:52Miss Newsome.
22:53Yes, of course.
22:54It's my brains.
22:56Hard to keep things in there sometimes.
22:58Now, how is it that two tenants came to rent the same apartment?
23:02What?
23:03No.
23:04That's not what's happening.
23:05It's, uh...
23:07No, no, no, no.
23:08It's my mistake.
23:08I assure you.
23:11Um...
23:12Ah, yes.
23:13Ha-ha.
23:13Here you are.
23:15Newsome.
23:16Ha-ha.
23:19Apartment 204.
23:20Ha-ha.
23:21I gave you the wrong key yesterday.
23:23Well, that's...
23:24quite a big mistake.
23:25Yes.
23:26I have a form of the...
23:28numbers blindness.
23:29I swap things in my mind sometimes.
23:32Yeah.
23:37Here is the correct key.
23:39Yeah.
23:39You can, of course, move in...
23:41immediately.
23:43Brought to a constabulary.
23:46You're in here, Mr. Stanton.
23:48Show yourself.
24:04Sir.
24:06I found something.
24:14the bites and scratches were made post-mortem cause of death was a severed carotid artery
24:19just like the first victim time of death given the rigor and body temperature i'd say right
24:25around the same time miss vador was killed yes miss vador's body was discovered just a few
24:31hundred meters from here you think the groundskeeper killed her and then himself
24:36i don't believe so no so who did and how did they get their hands on mrs stanton's knife
24:42both excellent questions but i'm more interested in this
24:49do my eyes deceive me this hard or is this shape of bite mark unusual for a coyote it's more
24:59than
24:59unusual detective it's impossible unless unless it was made by a human
25:12i don't know why i keep expecting miss cherry to keep a word have a look at that
25:18yes at least she hasn't learned the identities of the victims or that there is a murderer on the loose
25:24is a murderous coyote any better well sir it does provide us cover to investigate without alerting
25:29the killer but what good is that if we have no idea who the killer is i believe i have
25:34made some
25:35headway in that direction or at least i've found a way to find the killer
25:41what do a set of dentures have to do with all this miss hart has confirmed that the bite marks
25:45on miss vador's body were indeed human but the teeth marks themselves were not human
25:53go on
25:54these belonged to our second victim willie stanton they are made of filed down coyote teeth so you
26:03think the killer used these to make it look like a coyote killed the poor sod not quite i believe
26:08he had a
26:09similar set made but then did not file down coyote teeth so actually yes didn't you say that the first
26:18victim might a connection to a dentist i certainly did you make dentures do you not dr lobota i do
26:26why
26:26then did you make this set
26:33certainly not
26:35how can you be sure
26:36for starters the craftsmanship it's very amateurish and i wouldn't even know what the source animal
26:43is you use alternate materials porcelain like most professions
26:54um doctor please tell me more about your relationship with adriana fodor
27:03she was a fine student and a nice girl did you have feelings for her
27:13why are you asking about this humor me
27:18and i hoped that one day we might
27:24yes but she made it perfectly clear that she was only interested in me
27:28as a teacher and how did that make you feel
27:34detective i've had quite enough of this i insist you tell me what is going on
27:40adriana fodor was murdered as was willie stanton the groundskeeper
27:44what about the coyote
27:48their deaths were made to look like animal attacks using a set of dentures not unlike
27:54bees
28:00no no you you don't think that
28:03detective it wasn't me i did not kill adriana not anyone else for that matter
28:08no no but if someone did my money would be on bartholomew prescott the developer
28:17yes they were an item don't ask me why i mean he treated her awfully
28:22when did you last see the two of them together well he picked her up from work the day that
28:27she died
28:31it's pleasure constable roberts i was hoping to run into you i wanted to thank you for your help
28:37distracting this cherry i could tell you didn't want her to see whatever you'd found
28:42i hope it's helped with the case uh yes and no but detective murdoch get to the bottom of things
28:48shall we patrol together again i've been reassigned to the ward you don't seem happy about that
28:57oh no no it's fine um i'm grateful for the job i didn't say your word
29:04it's just the ward can be so overwhelming city really being assigned to the park was a nice respite
29:12thing even with the coyotes having a friend with a non-lethal sedation device helps
29:19if the city is so overwhelming why become a morality officer to help make it less so for others
29:31yes i met adriana afterward tuesday what of it you may well be the last person to have seen her
29:39alive who do you adriana's dead the woman killed by that coyote it was her
29:50i've been telling her to stay away from the park for weeks
29:54until what time were you with miss fedora on tuesday
30:00just long enough for her to tell me she didn't want to see me anymore no she ended things
30:06she said she need to focus on her studies obviously she didn't feel she needed to give
30:11up her precious walks with that wild man stanton and where did you go after the two of you parted
30:17ways
30:18i went back to my office to review designs for my next building
30:23can anyone corroborate this no
30:27why are you asking this mr prescott you told me that
30:32this rabid coyote had been good for business very
30:37and just how far would you be willing to go to keep business booming
30:43i don't know if i need it i suppose
30:51what's going on here you're under arrest on the suspicion of the murders of adriana
30:56fodor and willie stanton
31:03uh excuse me sir oh we're just finishing up another five minutes oh no i'm not ticketing you
31:10then what do you want uh some help actually there are some crates very important to the constabulary
31:16that need moving i ain't doing any free work today copper i've already done double than what i expect
31:21you and me both my friend i mean the constabulary we're given the keys to the wrong apartment
31:28well that's nothing our client just found out his apartment had been rented by someone else
31:32now we got to cart everything down three floors and back out again
31:36three floors is a lot i only have to go up and down one flight well have a good day
31:47constable roberts how goes the morning's patrol uneventful i haven't caught a glimpse of the coyote
31:54and your interview with lobota fruitful i've arrested adriana fedor's former beau
32:00bartholomew prescott on suspicion of murder so the case is closed
32:05not quite although mr prescott does have strong motive i i don't think he would stoop to wearing
32:11coyote teeth and wandering around did you say coyote teeth and murder have you been following me
32:16a journalist does what she has to do to get the scoop and this is the scoop of the year
32:21no the decade
32:22miss cherry if you print a word of this i will have you arrested if you do that then i'll
32:28never tell
32:28you what i know about adriana fedor's final movements you saw her on the day she died and you
32:33didn't disclose that well i i didn't know the relevance but now that i know she's been murdered
32:40tell us what you know or what you'll throw me in jail
32:46fine she was with parker crosby that man selling coyote repellent outside the park
32:50yes and it seemed rather heated if you ask me
32:58oh detective nice to see you again how can i help you you can start by telling me what you
33:04and adriana
33:05fodor argued about two nights ago i would call it an argument or more of a discussion tell me do
33:13your
33:13curative creations extended dentistry mr crosby well sometimes why do you ask let's have a look
33:22inside this wagon oh i i i don't think that's necessary detective i'd be more than happy to

33:41oh my tail ball i'm sure you have a salve that can take care of any bruising
33:56apple juice

34:28after my appointment and said she'd help help how said she'd been learning how to make them herself
34:34she made a set for a friend using coyote teeth and offered to do the same for me

35:39you got
35:40to stay in the building some poor sap lost out on his apartment entirely yes it's terrible it is
