Cardinal

You're not answering your phone.

It's off.

Were you sleeping?

No.

Dyson sent me.

They found a body.

Where's McLeod?

Delorme: No, she doesn't want McLeod.

She wants you.

Look at this, Delorme.

A young couple gets a new TV set.

You'd think it'd be a happy day.

These two hate each other right now.

Cardinal.

It's not my department anymore.

It's a child.

They think it might be her.

Commanda: I thought you were in exile.

Cardinal: So did I.

You got the call on this?

Commanda: Yeah. First on the scene was one of ours.

Cardinal: Gentlemen, who's been inside?

Collingwood: Collier and our civilian.

The guy was here stripping wire.

I took a look inside too, sir.

I thought I'd get a little jump on things.

Okay.

All right.

Gentlemen, suit up and in you go.

Let me know what you need.

Fox, come here.

There's a lot of snow to cull here, sir.

We're gonna need tents, generators,

the whole circus.

I mean, I can put in the call if you like.

Constable, I'm gonna need your boots.

My boots? - And then I want you to go home.

You're dismissed.

Sir.

Cardinal: You have kids? Pets?

Carpet in your TV room?

I have... two kids.

Their DNA is now contaminating the crime scene,

the unprocessed crime scene

that you chose to enter.

Sir, I swear I-

Let me tell you something.

If one day we're lucky enough to get this guy,

I can't have you serving up freebies

to his defence attorney.

So...

off they come.

Coroner Barnhouse: Facial features partially obliterated,

and likely by animal interference.

Left eye missing.

Right eye damaged but intact.

Body is clothed.

Denim jeans cover the lower portion.

Torn away at the left leg.

Commanda: There's a spot up top

where it looks like water collects.

I bet she's resting on a drain.

Coroner Barnhouse: Partially detached from her skull.

Filled up around her.

Froze solid.

Cardinal: It's her.

You're sure.

Blue hoodie.

She was wearing it when she disappeared.

Dyson: Okay. Well let's do this then.

Let's have our moment.

I'm serious, John.

If you want to say I told you so,

now's your chance.

I don't have anything to say.

She could have run away.

She could have been with some cousin in Temiskaming.

We didn't know.

That's why you keep looking.

Dyson: We tried.

We failed.

We moved on.

You should put on that on the crest.

If I make you the lead on this,

I need to know that you're not gonna drift.

Yeah.

So McLeod can't be your second.

He's in court all month.

Cardinal: Who then?

You're kidding. She just transferred.

Lucky her.

She gets to learn from the best.

I'm glad to be working on this with you.

Cardinal: How long were you in Financial Crimes?

Delorme: Five years.

Any homicide rotations?

Scene work?

Anything?

No.

But look, I know this case.

I know the history.

Everyone thought Katie Pine ran away,

except you.

Lot of good that did her.

How'd you know she'd been abducted?

What was your thinking?

You want to be careful.

Those questions got me kicked off homicide.

I thought yelling at your Sergeant

got you kicked off homicide.

Cardinal: Is that what you heard?

What I heard is that you ran through a year's manpower

on this one case,

ran everyone ragged

and then fell asleep driving home one night,

crashed into a dumpster.

Wrong.

It was a hydro box.

Much more expensive.

Here's what I need you to do.

As my new partner,

I need you to cover off my active cases,

unsolved B&Es,

dozens of them,

stretching back a year.

Get up to speed.

See, the thing with John is two-fold.

First, whatever you do, stand up to him

and don't be a yes man.

I'm not.

And second?

Never disagree with him.

Huh.

Sure.

Cardinal: Katie's remains

have been transported to the forensics lab

in Toronto.

Okay.

Cardinal: It'll take a few days

and then we'll release her to you.

There will be more questions

and we'll have to go over some ground

we've already covered.

I'm sorry to put you through that again.

We're gonna throw everything we have at this, Dorothy.

You said that before.

Then you stopped looking.

Commanda: There'll be a fire later for Katie.

You're welcome to come if you want.

I don't know, Jerry. It wouldn't-wouldn't feel right.

Commanda: Hey, John.

People are gonna think what they think.

But I know you did everything you could for Katie.

Delorme: Delorme here.

Cardinal: Katie Pine wasn't this guy's first victim.

You wanted to know my thinking.

There it is.

He's a predator.

She didn't know him.

Delorme: A little girl gets murdered,

you look close.

A neighbour. An uncle.

I looked, Delorme.

Babysitters,

band mates, cousins.

I talked to them all.
