Cardinal

Previously on Cardinal...

He buys black market chips,

cashes them in.

It shows how Cardinal launders his rat money.

What's the story here, Francis?

None of your business.

I shouldn't have told your mom

that we're trying to have a baby.

I'm sorry.

Speaking of which, shouldn't we know something?

No. I found out a couple days ago.

My wife has bipolar disorder.

Our thief is staking out these stores.

He follows his targets home with their new stuff,

then he hits their house later.

Melissa and Douglas London.

Their son, Keith,

was supposed to arrive home last night

and never turned up.

He has his next victim.

This is Edie's show now.

I know she doesn't look like much,

but she's ready.

I made him bleed.

For you.

That is something you,

you learn very early on,

not to ah, judge by volume.

That...

that could be a laptop,

or maybe it's just a blender.

Yeah, oh it's funny, you know, people,

they ask me that all the time.

They do. Everybody wants to know

how you stayed in the game for so long?

Well, I don't mind answering.

It's a good question.

People think it's a lot of ducking around

and diving and all that stuff but it's not.

It's-it's waiting.

And now,

do we really believe that

White Trash Johnny's got that boutique guitar?

Man, that is like a sieve.

I could get in and out of there so fast.

Nobody is watching this.

Where's Keith?

Where's Keith?

Where's Keith?

Hey.

I can't stay. I'm on my way in.

John.

You didn't say that you found Katie Pine.

Who told you about that?

You shouldn't be thinking about that.

Hey.

All right, come here.

Well that looks fun.

Yeah, all hands on deck.

Yeah, word got out

the killer's got another victim.

Phones have been ringing off the hook.

Now we've got press coming from all over.

Commanda?

Hold up.

Hey.

Question for you.

Do you have any reason to believe

there is money being laundered

through Thunderbird Casino?

Well nothing organized, just small stuff.

You know who's doing it?

Point you in a direction.

Is this a factor in the killings?

A loose end from when I was at Financial.

My old Sergeant's leaning on me,

which is why I was hoping

I could ask a favour.

My suspect cashed in chips four nights ago.

Knowing that do you think you could

get your hands on some of the money

he used to buy them?

Get my hands on it.

Just some serial numbers.

A sample.

If I can trace the money back to its source,

it could help me.

I don't suppose you're gonna tell me who your suspect is.

I don't want to implicate anyone if this doesn't prove out.

If it does you'll hear all about it.

Delorme?

Keith London came by bus.

His parents confirmed it.

Does he know you're working two jobs?

He'd kill me.

Keep it to yourself?

I'll see what I can do.

So what was that all about?

You and Commanda?

I worked with him on the Latraverse case.

He was our point man on the reserve.

Just catching up.

I'm sorry, I gotta take this.

Yeah?

Okay.

Yeah, I will.

No, Josh, I will.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Hasn't been easy for him,

my transfer from Financial.

The different pace.

Yeah, well it's...

it's not always this way.

But this is what I always wanted,

to be homicide.

I mean no one grows up hoping

to investigate real estate fraud.

So how'd you end up there?

I was good at it.

Doors kept opening.

I was there.

It was easy.

Do you know anything about audiovisual equipment?

I can't get it to play.

I know it works. I've played it before.

Edie, uh,

she still has this manual.

It's sort of classic Edie when you think about it,

keeping this filed away.

I think it has like some sort of sentimental value to it,

'cause her mom bought it in some sort of

rare spasm of sobriety.

Some friend

bought them a VHS tape about a skin thing,

some sort of

new abrasion laser thing for the eczema

and it just sat there for months

unwatched like some sort of beacon.

That's how Edie puts it,

like a beacon of hope.

But also if you think about it,

it was like a beacon of neglect, right?

Like by her mom,

to just let it sit there?

And anyways through the right combination of

Edie's begging

and ah, some sort of uptick in maternal hormones,

she stepped up

and bought this very VCR

so they could watch it together and, uh,

that's what they did.

And what happened?

What do you mean? That's the end of the story.

6:30 from Sudbury two nights ago.

Yeah, to be honest,

so many people come through.

Does that camera work?

Imagine so.

Call your boss,

tell him we need tapes from every camera

in the station, all right?

Tell him

if the system erases on a loop

that it needs to be stopped instantly.

Do I need to say any of that again?

I'll call my boss.

And we need to know if there is any unclaimed luggage

from that bus.

They're checking surrounding businesses for CCTV.

Yeah, well, there's nothing in here to indicate he was

meeting anyone.

Guitar supplies but

no guitar.

No, he'd take it with him.

If he has a guitar,

he wouldn't check it.

Have you never dated a musician?

No. You?

One or two.

So he, um,

takes his guitar

into the night,

planning to be back for the

ten o'clock to Toronto.

Yeah.

Where do you go

in Algonquin Bay to kill three hours?

Let's do Willow Street,

work our way downtown.

Yeah.

The killer had Katie Pine for over a week,

finished off Curry in just four days.

Might be nothing.

Might be situational.

Or he's accelerating.

Isn't that how these guys work?

It takes more and more to get them excited so

they speed up through their routines.

He might be tired of Keith already.
