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.
01:53It started 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.
23:49All right.
23:58Yeah.
24:07Sir, I've found something.
24:14The bites and scratches were made post-mortem.
24:17The cause of death was a severed carotid artery, just like the first victim.
24:21Time of death?
24:23Given the rigor and body temperature, I'd say right around the same time Miss Fodor was killed.
24:28Yes, Miss Fodor's body was discovered just a few hundred meters from here.
24:33You think the groundskeeper killed her and then himself?
24:37I don't believe so, no.
24:39So 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.
24:50Do my eyes deceive me, Miss Hardor?
24:52Or is this shape of bite mark unusual for a coyote?
24:58It's more than unusual, Detective.
25:00It's impossible.
25:03Unless.
25:04Unless it was made by a human.
25:12I don't know why I keep expecting Miss Cherry to keep a word.
25:15Have a look at that.
25:17Yes.
25:18At least she hasn't learned the identities of the victims.
25:21Or that there is a murderer on the loose.
25:24Is a murderous coyote any better?
25:26Well, sir, it does provide us cover to investigate without alerting the killer.
25:30But what good is that if we have no idea who the killer is?
25:33I believe I have made some headway in that direction.
25:36Or at least I've found a way to find the killer.
25:41What do a set of dentures have to do with all this?
25:43Miss Hardor has confirmed that the bite marks on Miss Fodor's body were indeed human.
25:49But the teeth marks themselves were not human.
25:53Go on.
25:54These belonged to our second victim, Willie Stanton.
25:59They are made of filed-down coyote teeth.
26:02So you think the killer used these to make it look like a coyote killed the poor sod?
26:07Not quite.
26:08I believe he had a similar set made, but then did not file down coyote teeth.
26:14So actually, yes.
26:17Didn't you say that the first victim had a connection to a dentist?
26:20I certainly did.
26:22You make dentures, do you not, Dr. Lobota?
26:25I do.
26:26Why?
26:27And did you make this set?
26:33Certainly not.
26:35How can you be sure?
26:37For starters, the craftsmanship, it's very amateurish.
26:41And I wouldn't even know what to source animal teeth.
26:44Do you use alternate materials?
26:46Porcelain.
26:48Like most professionals.
26:55Doctor, please tell me more about your relationship with Adriana Fodor.
27:02She was a fine student.
27:05And a nice girl.
27:08Did you have feelings for her?
27:13Why are you asking me about this?
27:15You or me?
27:18Had I hoped that one day we might.
27:23Yes.
27:25But she made it perfectly clear that she was only interested in me as a teacher.
27:30And how did that make you feel?
27:34Detective, I've had quite enough of this.
27:37I insist.
27:38You 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.
27:51Using a set of dentures, not unlike these.
28:00No, no, you don't think that.
28:03Detective, it wasn't me.
28:05I did not kill Adriana, nor anyone else for that matter.
28:08No?
28:09No!
28:11But if someone did, my money would be on Bartholomew Prescott, the developer.
28:17Yeah, they were an item.
28:19Don't ask me why.
28:20I mean, he treated her awfully.
28:22When did you last see the two of them together?
28:25Well, he picked her up from work the day that she died.
28:31Miss Berger.
28:33Constable Roberts.
28:35I was hoping to run into you.
28:36I wanted to thank you for your help distracting Miss Cherry.
28:39I could tell you didn't want her to see whatever you'd found.
28:42I hope it's helped with the case.
28:44Uh, yes and no, but Detective Murdoch gets to the bottom of things.
28:49Shall we patrol together again?
28:52I've been reassigned to the war.
28:55You don't seem happy by that.
28:57Oh, no, no, it's fine.
28:58Um, I'm grateful for the job.
29:02I didn't say your word.
29:04It's just, the war can be so overwhelming.
29:08The city, really.
29:10Being assigned to the park was a nice respite for me.
29:13Even with the coyotes?
29:15Having a friend with a non-lethal sedation device helps.
29:19If the city is so overwhelming, why become a morality officer?
29:23To help make it less so for others.
29:31Yes, I met Adrienne after work Tuesday.
29:34What of it?
29:36You may well be the last person to have seen her alive.
29:40What are you?
29:42Adrienne is dead?
29:45The 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.
30:03No.
30:04She ended things.
30:06She said she needed to focus on her studies.
30:09Obviously she didn't feel she needed to give up her precious walks with that wild man Stanton.
30:14And where did you go after the two of you parted ways?
30:18I went back to my office to review designs for my next building.
30:23Mr. Prescott, you told me that this rabid coyote had been good for business.
30:36Very.
30:37And just how far would you be willing to go to keep business booming?
30:43How far I need it, I suppose.
30:51What's going on here?
30:52You're under arrest on the suspicion of the murders of Adrienne Fodor and Willie Stanton.
31:03Excuse me, sir.
31:05We're just finishing up.
31:06Another five minutes.
31:08Oh, no, I'm not ticketing you.
31:10Then what do you want?
31:11Some help, actually.
31:13There are some crates very important to the constabulary that need moving.
31:17I ain't doing any free work today, copper.
31:19I've already done double than what I expected.
31:21You and me both.
31:22My friend, I mean the constabulary.
31:25We're given the keys to the wrong apartment.
31:28Well, that's nothing.
31:29Our client just found out his apartment had been rented by someone else.
31:32Now we've got to cart everything down, three floors, and back out again.
31:36Three floors is a lot.
31:38I only have to go up and down one flight.
31:41Well, have a good day.
31:47Constable Roberts, how goes the morning's patrol?
31:50Uneventful.
31:52I haven't caught a glimpse of the coyote.
31:54And your interview with Loboda?
31:56Fruitful.
31:57I've arrested Adrienne Fodor's former beau, Bartholomew Prescott, on suspicion of murder.
32:04So the case is closed.
32:05Not quite.
32:06Although Mr. Prescott does have strong motive, I don't think he would stoop to wearing coyote teeth and wandering around.
32:13Did you say coyote teeth?
32:14And murder?
32:15Have you been following me?
32:17A journalist does what she has to do to get the scoop.
32:19And 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.
32:26If you do that, then I'll never tell you what I know about Adrienne Fodor's final movements.
32:31You saw her on the day she died, and you didn't disclose that?
32:35Well, I didn't know the relevance.
32:37But now that I know she's been murdered...
32:40Tell us what you know.
32:41Or what you'll throw me in jail.
32:45Fine.
32:46She was with Parker Crosby.
32:48That man selling coyote repellent outside the park?
32:51Yes.
32:51And it seemed rather heated, if you ask me.
32:58Oh, Detective.
33:00Nice to see you again.
33:01How can I help you?
33:02You can start by telling me what you and Adrienne Fodor argued about two nights ago.
33:08I wouldn't call it an argument, or more of a discussion.
33:12Tell me, do your curative creations extend to dentistry, Mr. Crosby?
33:18Well, sometimes.
33:20Why do you ask?
33:21Let's have a look inside this wagon.
33:23Oh, I don't think that's necessary, Detective.
33:26I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have.
33:28Keys, please.
33:29Look.
33:30You see, the thing is, Detective, I, uh...
33:36Oh, I tailbone.
33:42I'm sure you have a salve that can take care of any bruising.
33:56Apple juice?
34:01Is this why you wouldn't let me into the back of the wagon?
34:05I thought you were going to arrest me for selling a false product.
34:09I swear, I was only swapping it out until I...
34:11My next batch of wolf year and arrived next week.
34:13Do you make dentures or not?
34:15Not.
34:16But I need a set.
34:18That's what Miss Fodor and I were talking about the other day.
34:21You're a patient of Dr. Lobota's?
34:24I couldn't afford the sort he made.
34:26But Miss Fodor, she found me here after my appointment and said she'd help.
34:30Help how?
34:31Said 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.
34:39Where is that set now?
34:41I have no idea.
34:43That's why I was upset I was supposed to go to her apartment for my final feeding last Tuesday night.
34:48She cancelled last morning.
34:50What happened?
34:51All she said was there was trouble at her new apartment.
34:57I'll be needing that address.
35:04Miss Musil?
35:07Hello.
35:09Are you here to help Henry?
35:11Help Henry?
35:13Oh, sir.
35:16I could very much use your help.
35:19I was told that this apartment belonged to Adriana Fodor, the young lady that was killed in High Park.
35:26I think you're mistaken.
35:27There's a lot of that going around, sir.
35:29You got lucky only having to move floors.
35:32Is this not the apartment that you initially rented?
35:36No.
35:37There was a mix-up of keys.
35:39At least you got to stay in the building.
35:41Some poor sap lost out on his apartment entirely.
35:43Yes, it's terrible.
35:45It is.
35:47And it could explain the situation that Miss Fodor was in.
35:51I'd like to speak with the superintendent.
35:53I'll join you.
35:58I'll just get more crates.
36:03Hello?
36:07Well, shall we wait?
36:10And while we do...
36:17Adriana Fodor.
36:20These must be her things.
36:23I don't see the dentures that she was working on with Mr. Crosby.
36:28I am several steps behind here.
36:31Could you please bring me up to speed?
36:33Oh.
36:36Can I help you?
36:38Detective William Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary.
36:41I'm investigating the death of Adriana Fodor.
36:43Yes.
36:44I believe these are her things?
36:46They are.
36:48I, um...
36:50I've begun cleaning out her apartment.
36:52Poor thing.
36:53Malled to death by coyotes.
36:56What apartment did she reside in?
37:00Uh...
37:01204.
37:03But that's my apartment.
37:05Yeah.
37:06Uh...
37:08I gave you a room with a view.
37:10Your deposit was for a unit facing away from the park.
37:13But you said yesterday, Mr. Pascoe,
37:16that you had always intended for me to be in 204.
37:21Did I?
37:24I'm so terribly sorry.
37:25I, uh, um...
37:26My mind is so scrambled these days.
37:28Because you're running some sort of rental scam.
37:32Aren't you?
37:37I, uh...
37:38Yes.
37:39I...
37:39I may have taken more deposits than there were apartments.
37:42And you killed Adriana Fodor when she found out as much.
37:46What?
37:46No, no!
37:48I never had any trouble with Miss Fodor.
37:51Mr. Pascoe, you gave me the keys to her apartment
37:53before the news of the deaths in High Park was broken.
37:57The names of the victims have never been published.
38:01You, now, you must be mistaken.
38:04I, uh, how could I have known unless, um...
38:08Unless...
38:08You're a murderer.
38:17Henry, why didn't you stop him?
38:19Stop, Fisher!
38:20I can't see over the crates!
38:21Put those down!
38:22Let's go!
38:34Mr. Pascoe, stop!
38:38All right, Henry, follow him in.
38:40I'll cut around and see if I can stop him
38:42at the other end of the park.
39:06Mr. Pascoe?
39:16Mr. Pascoe, stop!
39:42Seemed only fair.
39:43I got a chance to try it, sir, after being shot with it.
39:46Henry.
39:53I heard your dart gun proved to be useful.
39:55It did indeed.
39:57And the superintendent admitted to it all, then, did he?
40:00Once he regained consciousness, yes.
40:01I can see why he killed Ms. Fodor, but why the groundskeeper?
40:05Necessity.
40:05She fled to his cabin after confronting Mr. Pascoe.
40:09And the horrible dentures?
40:11An afterthought.
40:12They just happened to be amongst Ms. Fodor's things.
40:15Lucky for him that she had yet to file down the coyote teeth.
40:18Or unlucky for her.
40:21Well, that's another case closed, me old mucker.
40:23You deserve a night off.
40:25Are you going to Ms. Newsom's housewarming party?
40:27I am.
40:29How did she convince Mr. Prescott to let her stay in the building
40:32if Mr. Pascoe stole her deposit?
40:35I had a word with a friend down at City Council
40:37about that by-law that Prescott's worried about.
40:40Expect more apartment blocks on major streets.
40:43I have no issue with them,
40:44as long as they don't infringe on any more parkland.
40:50You detain me, and then you give my exclusive to the Gazette?
40:53I had absolutely nothing to do with the latter.
40:57You.
40:58That, Ms. Cherry, is called tit for tat,
41:00and the world runs on it.
41:02How dare you twist my words.
41:03Doesn't feel very nice, does it?
41:05Maybe now you'll have learned your lesson.
41:07Well, yes, if the lesson is that the police...
41:09I don't know about we get you a drink.
41:11I'm sorry.
41:15Feeling overwhelmed?
41:17Pardon me?
41:18By the party, I mean.
41:20Thought you might be taking respite by looking at the park,
41:23like you said the other day.
41:25Why would I need respite from a party?
41:28I don't know.
41:29I thought maybe...
41:30Well, you felt wrong.
41:32I'm watching a pair of lawless boys
41:34gambling right out in the open.
41:37I think they're playing knuckleballs.
41:41Sounds filthy.
41:42I intend to put a stop to it.
41:46I'll come with you.
41:48Thank you for all your help this week, Henry.
41:50I know it was a lot.
41:52Oh, it was hell.
41:53I don't know if my back will ever be the same.
41:56I don't know how I can ever repay you,
41:58but here, a token of my appreciation.
42:03Well, I suppose it's a start.
42:07Miss Newsome, a housewarming gift.
42:11You didn't have to do that.
42:13It's an automatic bread toaster.
42:15Automatic?
42:16Yes, I designed it myself.
42:19The mechanism allows for the bread
42:21to be toasted to perfection
42:22before releasing it.
42:24But do be careful.
42:26The release mechanism is somewhat enthusiastic.
42:30Understood.
42:35So, how have you been faring?
42:39Settling into a smaller space, you mean?
42:43Among other things.
42:48Have you spoken to her?
42:50Once or twice.
42:52It seems to be adjusting well
42:54to life in St. John's.
42:58I'm happy to hear it.
43:01As was I.
43:05Well, I must be off.
43:07Thank you for the invitation.
43:10Thank you for coming.
43:13This place feels more like home already.
43:22Alfie, you must tell me
43:24where you got that laugh.
43:25It's not a place.
43:26Which one?
43:28Oh, that was my grandmother's.
43:30Yes.
43:30Yeah, ladies.
43:31Oh.
43:32No whiskey?
43:33Oh, no, no, no, no.
43:34What's that?
43:35Oh, nice flash.
43:37Go on.
43:38I'm sorry.
43:38Thank you for listening.
