Coroner

Cassidy is my... ex-wife.

- How have you been? - Pretty good.

Except for a cancer scare a few months back.

Cancer?!

You look good, too.

I've been doing this amazing life coach thing now.

Learning to take responsibility for my actions.

She had to get used to you not being here,

and that's pretty much all she's known.

I'm trying to make up for lost time;

I'm trying to look after the house,

I'm trying to look after you.

I-I want us all to be a family.

- Hey. - Hey.

- You don't look so good. - No, I'm fine. It's just uh...

I just have a sinus infection. What's all this?

I'm on the career path now for a little while.

No more boys. - Looks like you robbed

an AV store. - Yeah, no.

Um, I actually just borrowed all this from a friend

because I'm gonna be filming an audition

for a new cooking show. - Oh my God!

That's amazing, Ross. - It's a long shot, I know,

but I know how to sell myself.

I'm young, I'm hot, I'm gay.

I'm Persian Canadian

Plus, I'm cooking authentic Persian cuisine

from family recipes. How can they not pick me?

Well, if there's anything I can do to help.

Okay. I mean, I could use a camera person.

Great. Done.

- For sure. - Okay, yeah.

Oof... - Oh, but...

Not if you're not feeling well.

- I'm good. - You rest for a minute.

Um, Grandpa made a mess, so I'm gonna clean up.

- Hi, Boss! - Hey, Alphonse.

I, uh, I don't think I'm gonna come into the office today.

I'm not feeling so good.

Oh! Dr. Thompson's away too.

Remember, he has that author conference for his last book.

So... what should I do?

Jenny: I forgot. Well...

let's just hope it's a slow day.

Malik: This place is my old stomping grounds.

I can't tell you how much time we used to spend here as a kid.

Hey. I made out with Amber Small

right there in that corner for first time.

Donovan: All right, tell me something we can use.

Well, this place is always bustling.

You know, multi-generational families, community based,

wholesome, and... usually safe.

9-mill shell casing.

Well... there goes the neighbourhood.

Damn.

All right, let's get Jenny on the phone.

Jenny: Hey, River. What do you see?

River: I see trampled grass. Looks like a shell casing.

Bystanders, cops questioning locals.

There's a blood trail and the decedent.

Make sure you check that they're human remains.

People bury all sorts of stuff at the park.

River: Last summer we found a "synthetic companion"

that some guy buried

to hide from his girlfriend.

Dennis: This is why we don't kink shame.

Ah...

should we do the uh... "thing"?

I'll do the honours.

Yo'nikonhr'aksa't tsi...

satenhnisero'kte.

Sken:nenkenhak.

Jenny: Thanks, River.

Uh, Dennis, I'm gonna need to get some prints.

Dennis:

Uh, he's holding something.

Here you go. - All right.

Hey, uh, can I talk to Jenny for a minute?

Hey, Jenny. I hear you're under the weather.

Meh. It takes a lot to keep me down.

She wants me to get wine.

'Course, there is no wine!

Right as rain, but I think I'll be doing the investigation

from the couch.

Red wine...

Hey, Donovan!

Jenny? Wha--?

Donovan, can you hear me?

- Wine... - Dad! Dad!

Red wine?

Oh... - Dad, did you...

- Did I do something? - Ugh! You uh...

- 'Course I did. - You banged the router. Ugh...

I didn't mean to.

- Are you going somewhere? - Yeah. I didn't tell ya?

Me and Peggy are gonna go up to Niagara-on-the-Lake

and try and reconnect a little bit.

Mm. Great.

I got some, uh, healthy snacks for the road.

Good. There we go.

Jenny, you don't look well.

I'm fine. It's just a... a... it's just a bug.

Oh, Gordy, maybe we should postpone.

- NO! No. - No!

I'm good. I'm totally fine.

Oh, please, don't stress about Jenny.

She's a doctor, you know.

There's not much in the wallet, except 20 bucks

and a library card.

The library gave me his name: Rameen Shirazi.

Did they give you his address?

Yeah. I'm gonna head there now.

Uh, send a uniform instead.

You know this area, I want you here.

Okay, Boss.

We've got officers searching every inch of this place,

so if there's anything to find, we'll find it.

What's up? You got a look.

You know, when a body's found buried like that,

it's usually done by someone who cared about the victim.

Well, these are God-fearing, salt of the earth type folks.

There's mostly refugees and immigrants

full of hospitality.

It's too early to discount anything.

Officer Stanley: Found something in the creek!

It's the 9-millimeter. It matches the casing we found.

Bag it and get it to ballistics ASAP.

Yes, Sir.

Where do the park regulars usually hang out?

Well, when I lived around here, it was the picnic area.

- All right, let's go. - All right.

River: Look how carefully trimmed his beard is.

And his hair is so neat.

Reminds me of my Grandfather.

He dyed his facial hair.

The man had champagne taste.

The moonstone ring,

the watch, the belt...

the pen, clothes - all high-end,

but they've seen better days.

So he liked nice things,

but maybe he couldn't afford new nice things.

I have the intake CT scans here.

And I have sent them to Dr. Cooper as well.

You're outside! That's good.

The fresh air will help you feel better.

Yeah, and it's quieter.

My family's seen enough autopsy photos for my liking.

Hey, do you guys see that opaque spot?

Looks like a bullet lodged near the subclavian artery.

Jenny: It's on here.

Can you show me the entry wound?

Entry in the upper right pectoralis.

Burns suggest contact entry,

meaning the barrel was pressed to his skin.

There's an exit wound on the lateral side

of the right shoulder.

Dennis: If he still has a bullet inside him,

why does he have an exit wound?

I've seen this before. It's uh...

it's called "tandem bullet" phenomenon.

It's when the bullet splits in the barrel

and it creates two projectiles.

What caused it in your case?

Well, the gun had a silencer on it.

Wait. So you're saying this man was...

Executed.

Donovan: Over there - metal detector guy.

Looks like a regular.

- Amoo! Amoo! - 'Scuse me, Sir? Sir!

- No English. - Hey! Yo!

Officers, I'm Shayan. Uh, this is my uncle, Ali.

Uh, he's not like my actual uncle, not like by blood,

but, um, I just call him my uncle. Know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, we know what you mean.

Yeah, um, Ali doesn't speak English,

but I could help translate if you like.

Uh, what language does he speak?

Farsi-Dari. Yeah, he's Afghani.

I'm Persian, and we speak the same language, kind of.

Yeah, it's like, it's like regular English and Patois,

feel me?

Do you guys know this man, Rameen Shirazi?

Uh... nah.

Damn, I-I mean, I saw him here and there.

Yeah, he worked out alone in the park a lot.

Yeah, my uncle called him a lone wolf.

He has no friends.

So you never saw him with anyone?

Yeah, he's freaked out talking to you guys.

I mean, where he comes from, man,

the authorities, well, they'd twist you up real good

even if you like look at them the wrong way.

We're not, we're not here to deport anyone.

We just wanna make the community feel safe

and find out what happened, you know?

All right.

- Where'd you get those? - Kaftar.

Uh... kaftar. Uh, pigeons.

Yeah, he's got a small pigeon coop on his balcony.
