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. Written by Huggo See less
