King (2011) s02e12 Episode Script
Aurora O'Donnell
1 Are you gonna hold Danny's hand too when he gets to Homicide? I can't wait to take over one of his cases.
Oh, yeah, 'cause I don't have enough awkward in my life.
- Homicide's 24/7, Major Crimes is 24/7.
- They wanted him.
Maybe they - see something in him you don't.
- I'm not saying he can't do the job.
- The adoption counselor said - She said six to eight year is what she said.
- Not if we make changes.
- I'm not giving up Homicide so I can keep breaking up our fights all right? We both knew that me being in uniform was temporary.
You said all along that you want kids.
Yeah, well who gets everything they want in life, right? People who are willing to fight for it.
9-1-1.
What is your emergency? Hello? He's he's trying to kill me.
He's - Please speak up.
- He's going to kill me.
- Hello? Are you there? - Sh-sh-sh-sh He's - Ma'am, I can't hear you.
- Please help.
- Are you alone? - Sh-sh-sh-sh Please, he's gonna kill me.
Help.
Who is trying to kill you? What is your location? You're breaking up.
Hello? Hello? Ross, suck it up.
For the love of God, just tell your parent It's a baptism.
I can handle it.
Yes, it's a real church.
I just spoke to the minister.
I will send you a picture.
- Ugh! I could strangle Ross.
- Hi, Lola-bola.
I'm just getting this kid dunked so Ross will shut the hell up.
- His family, unbelievable.
- Unlike ours, which is so cool.
Ugh, at least ours is dysfunctional out front.
The McGregors, no wonder they all have colon issues.
Here.
Hold Lola.
I need to get organized.
You're the most organized person I know.
- You're amazing.
- Oh, please.
Seriously.
You've got two boys, a new house, and a new baby, and a husband who Where is Ross? Receiving, installing software.
OK, gimme little - vampire.
Come on.
- Mm.
Uh, it says no food or drink in here.
Yeah! Bite me.
Come here.
Oh.
I know, I know, I know.
You want it, you want it.
Oh.
Come here.
OK.
Oh, there you go.
That's amazing.
Popping out babies I can do.
I can practically squat by the side of the road and Oh, Jess, - I'm so sorry.
I - Don't worry about it.
Stop.
It's not your fault I didn't get any of the birthing genes, just the bad-platelet, great-at-screwing-up-relationship genes.
Oh, boy.
Well, uh, the reason why I wanted us to meet - Is not for a decaf latte? - Mm-mm.
No.
I want you and Danny to be Lola's godparents.
- Us? Seriously? - Yes.
Shouldn't you ask someone who knows something about - parenting, or God? - Please, please.
You'll look great in the pictures, Ross has no sisters, we used up his brothers on the boys.
- OK, Danny and me - It's just if anything ever happened to me, given Ross's family, I have no fear of a shortage of unsolicited moral advice, but I do have very serious doubts that they'll teach her - anything important about really good shoes.
- Chief.
Muskoka regional police have called us for assistance.
There's a situation unfolding north of the city.
- Better get in your car.
- Sir.
I'm just gonna get the boss here.
I'll be right back.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's up? This road forks a couple of times further on.
There are 50 or so cottages down by the lake still being canvassed.
A 9-1-1 recorded 23 minutes of inaudible screaming, thrashing, and a lot of dead air.
Muskoka regional pinged it, got these coordinates.
- Have they found the phone? - No, but someone did, and they disabled the GPS.
So someone tech-savvy enough to take the batteries out of a cell phone.
Well, officers discovered the young woman's student card and bus pass by the road up that way.
She's from Toronto.
One of ours.
But no trace of her, and no body? Not yet.
Instead, what searchers stumbled on is that.
What is that? A dumping ground.
Gonna need some more bags.
How many bodies they looking at? Too soon to say.
There are two fresher ones, a man and a woman, plus four more, or parts thereof.
- At least six so far.
- OK, easy, easy, easy.
Bingo! Make that seven.
This is gonna be a bad day at work.
King 2x12 - Aurora O'Donnell Original air date May 18, 2012 It's a big old stinky mess, sir.
Getting bigger by the minute.
I've cancelled my holidays my summer ones.
Was gonna be a lot of boating, a lot of sleeping in my car.
You've got to do better.
I could put a cot in my office.
What about the girl who made the phone call? Bus pass, student card, but no girl.
Well, she didn't just disappear.
May still be alive.
Gotta hope.
You'll have all available resources at your disposal Homicide and Sex Crimes.
We'll send people to give us extra eyes, ears, hands, and feet.
And brains.
Brains are good too.
Danny? Why not? He's a good detective.
He has no competing case load.
- I'll be his boss, sir.
- Exactly.
No kids, no pets you'll both work 24/7.
How perfect is that? Detectives Martin and Evans will be joining us by phone.
They'll be our presence on the scene and will liaise with Muskoka regional.
Although the scene lies within Muskoka's jurisdiction, some of the victims, and possibly the killer, are from the GTA, so ours.
The swamp lies between an access road and a major highway.
Most of the cottages within the surrounding area have been closed for winter.
Five women, one man, one undetermined, and a toddler in various states of decomposition.
Plus skeletal fragments.
Final tally will be higher.
It's a hell of a way to cut case load at Missing Persons.
Our latest presumed victim: 21-year-old theater student Aurora O'Donnell.
We will live with this one for however long it takes, and remember it for the rest of our careers.
It's the reason we all got into police work.
There's a murderer out there who has killed at least eight times, and he has another victim who may or may not already be dead.
So, we need to put on our big-girl pants because by now one thing has changed and he knows it: We're coming for him.
Sorry, folks.
The cell reception is really intermittent here.
And shortly before six, a cottager, Tim Spivak, is welcomed by his barking dogs.
He notices a blank SUV idling in his lane.
He reports a decal of a naked woman in the rear window.
Took a stab at the plate number, but no hits on it so far.
At 6:02, 9-1-1 received a call from Aurora, in obvious distress, fearing for her life.
The call pinged to here.
While looking for Aurora, searchers discovered the first remains wrapped in burlap.
Here.
Yeah, the last two victims, a man and a woman, seem to have only been here - a few weeks.
- So far, those are the only two that have been IDed.
The latest info should be coming through to you know.
Cause of death for him looks like blunt-force trauma; For her, strangulation and stabbing.
We've got to figure out the connection between these three.
Serial killers usually have a food of choice and a clear MO.
If this is the work of one killer.
The bodies were bound in burlap, which suggests they were killed somewhere else, then dumped in the swamp.
Not the girl this morning brought there alive.
Where's the pattern? - The killer is getting sloppier.
- Or bolder.
The longer they go - uncaught, their MOs evolve.
- IDs on the most recent victims.
Anything else, boss? According to Ident, the male is Igor Chepetsky, age 47, cab driver.
He's got prints on file due to a prior.
He's been missing a month.
His cab was found at the Newmarket kiss 'n ride.
Maybe our killer is a commuter.
It's possible.
That could make me homicidal.
We got Lea Postleton, 23, a receptionist at a flooring company in Scarborough.
Matched dental records, and a kitten and rose - tattoo on her hip.
- May I? OK, so, an acting student, a receptionist, and a cab driver.
What do they have in common? Besides being in completely the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hicks, follow up on the Postleton woman family, coworkers.
Riley, you take the cab driver.
Ingrid, Martin, keep us in the loop and try to interview any cottagers, - and what's his name Spivak.
- Thanks, Staff.
Will do.
Spears, you and I'll trace down Miss O'Donnell's last-known steps.
Yep.
- Guess I'm with you, huh? - It's OK.
I got it.
Danny, um start organizing the evidence boards, and why don't you listen to the 9-1-1 tape a few, or 10, times.
Let me know if you hear anything other than screaming or birdcalls.
You got it, boss.
Aurora O'Donnell? She was at rehearsal Saturday.
I believe her sister is listed as her emergency contact.
Can you tell us anything about Aurora's life outside of school? Any friends, boyfriends, drug use? Our students are technically adults.
Beyond these walls, it's none of my business.
OK.
Speak to her classmate, Darren Choy.
Thick as thieves.
Yeah, we're buds.
I mean, we hang out and that, but, like, I don't know where she is or - anything.
I mean Oh, my God - All right, take a breath.
You want some water? She wasn't in class this morning.
When was the last time you saw her? Saturday.
For beers at Dirty Peggy's after rehearsal.
- Is Peggy a person? - No, a student bar.
Rory's sister, Celia, met us, we stayed - for last call, and then we went home.
- Where do the girls live? Mill Street.
Distillery District.
Pretty nice place for students.
She come from money? - I don't know! I - So, where does she get the money from? - They have jobs in, like, restaurants.
- Which restaurants.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, what's the matter with me? Uh, I don't know, Darren.
Help me out.
Rory's missing, and all I keep thinking is: how can I use this emotional memory in a - scene? I mean, is that messed up, or what? - I need you to start telling the truth, and you need to start doing that now, or I will give you enough emotional memory to last a lifetime.
OK, honestly, I don't know where she is.
- We're taking him in.
- Stand up.
- You're arresting me? For what? - I'll think about it in the car.
Well, we're not giving any statements at the moment.
I understand.
You need to call - the media officer.
- CC! Celia! CC! CC! - Spears, that's the vehicle.
- Darren, what's going on? - What is this?! - I'm sorry.
Something happened to Rory.
- What's going on? - Sorry.
No talking.
You were supposed to look after her! Where's my sister?! Darren, where is she?! Darren! Where's my sister?! - OK.
- Where did you leave Rory? Darren! Where's my sister?! What was Darren doing with your sister? He was driving her on a date.
A date? What kind of date? It was an outcall.
She was working as an escort.
Something awful has happened to Rory.
- That's why you're here.
- We don't know that.
I didn't hear from her this morning, but I didn't - I just kept texting her.
- Was she working - through an agency? - Online.
She has an ad.
OK, look, this escort thing, the legality of it, I don't care about that.
We're trying to find your sister, and I need you to help me help her.
Tell me what you know about her date last night.
I wasn't there.
Darren, he knows.
He was Rory's driver and bodyguard.
So, our cabby was a loner lived in a basement suite on Jarvis.
No friends, no family, nothing, except apparently the guy liked the breakfast special at the all-night café on the old hooker stroll.
Over easy.
Hey, your missus is back.
She's got some kids down at intake.
Hey.
Hey.
D-A-N? Hey.
Hey, Jim.
Hey.
Listen to this.
It's the 9-1-1 call from when the girl took off.
Listen.
What do you got? Some wind, some trees? - A frickin' bird? - Just How many times you listen to this? Like three or four.
Just listen.
There! Right there.
- You hear that? - I don't hear a damn thing.
Yeah, neither do I.
You said Jess is in intake? A gas receipt found in the glove compartment from an all-night gas station time, date, and your signature.
- So? - So we've got you in the SUV, Ident's lifting your DNA and your fingerprints, and we've got tire tracks in the mud on the scene.
Looking down the road, Darren, tell me what prevents me from charging you? - With what? With murder? - What makes you think she's dead? - You think I killed her? - I don't know.
Maybe you just pimped her off to the guy who did.
Take me to when you dropped Rory off.
It was after two when we pulled off the highway.
- It was pitch dark.
- What about Rory? She wasn't nervous? He met us so that we wouldn't get lost.
We could see the headlights when we got - closer.
- Describe the vehicle.
It was a truck, like a pickup.
I'm not really into vehicles.
- So, you met him at the turnoff to the country road.
Then what? - Rory jumped out - and went over to talk to him.
- So, you saw the John.
- The visor was down to keep our headlights out of his eyes.
- What could you see? He looked tall.
White guy.
Not old, I don't think.
Not real big.
- And you weren't scared at all for her? - She wasn't! She w She was laughing.
She said it was a sweetheart.
So, the SUV, you follow that up? We follow up every lead, Mr.
Spivak.
Uh, the Muskoka police have my have all my contacts, but there's my card if I can be of any help at all.
Thank you, sir.
We'll let you know.
I woke around 5:30.
I tried to phone Rory.
Couldn't get a signal, so I started to drive.
There were these forks in the road, and I didn't know what one to take.
I kept looking and looking.
And then the sun came up.
So what did you think had happened? I thought she was partying.
She's done that before just ditched me.
So you ditched her.
I parked in a drive, and some guy came out and yelled at me.
I thought he was calling the cops.
I didn't know! - Didn't know what? - If I missed her! Maybe the guy drove her back, maybe she was OK.
When I finally got a signal, I called Celia.
No answer.
I tried calling Rory over and over, but she didn't pick up.
So I drove home.
Dropped the SUV at her place.
Then I went to class.
You went to class.
He's telling the truth.
- And you know this how? - The 9-1-1 call.
There was all these empty spots where the sound dropped out.
It's call waiting.
Someone called Rory 11 times in the 23 minutes.
Then I guess Darren isn't our guy.
The 9-1-1 call was 23 minutes long from the time she dropped the phone to the killer disabling it.
What happened in those 23 minutes? Assuming she didn't have much of a head-start, 10 minutes to catch her, three minutes to do whatever he did, and 10 minutes to get back here to disable the phone.
Well, if we're right, she's not far away.
She came down from up there.
Anybody check further up the other ridge, - closer to the highway? - Not all of it.
Kind of have their hands full right here.
Wanna go for a walk? Hey, Hicks, did you track down Leah Postleton's next of kin? I knew Leah the minute I saw her mom.
Bad date, Allan Gardens, 2010.
Was she still working the stroll? Mom said she'd tried to go straight, but she started booking online.
Yeah, well, try making a Toronto rent on a receptionist's salary.
The mom IDed the dead cabby.
Chepetsky was a high flagger.
He ferried girls to the burbs for tips.
That explains the connection cabby was a witness, - she's a sex worker.
- The killer's food of choice.
What about the toddler, though? How does a child fit that pattern? Taking your kid on a date is cheaper than a sitter.
- It happens if the John seems like a guy she can trust.
- Spears, get Missing Persons to look for escorts petite, fair, 18-30.
- You got it.
- Flag missing moms with missing kids.
- He's managing the case now? - Yeah, whatever.
So, the officers will be back from your place in a bit.
And you're OK with what they're gonna find? 'Cause they're gonna strip the place out, and they're gonna take computers, sheets, towels My towels? Anything that might have a John's DNA.
Just get her home.
She's my sister, you know? Yeah, I do.
I have one too.
Darren called you around 6am.
We're gonna need to take a look at your phone.
Is there anything you want to tell me before I find out anyway? - I was on a date.
- So you're booking dates too? A couple times.
But I'm not Not what? Good at it.
I'm not Rory.
And how often was Rory dating? - Two, three times a week.
- Since? - October.
But she's careful.
You know, she Maybe not so much now as she was at first.
Cash changes people.
Was she using? I need to put myself in your sister's head, Celia.
Is there a chance she was high? She has a John that gets her caps of heroin - not all the time.
- She was chipping? She rubs it under her tongue.
Rory's afraid of needles.
And someone said that it's less addictive that way.
You know, that's not true.
She said it would take longer to kick in, but then - she had a cap for the ride up.
- So she was flying.
How did she screen the Johns? She would She would, like, talk to them and - Oh, my God.
Rory, where are you? - It's not Rory.
- Who is this? - Do you know your sister's a whore? - It's him.
Spears, take her.
This is Detective Sergeant Jessica King, Major Crimes Task Force, Metropolitan Police.
I need an emergency ping on the last call received from this phone.
I think it was the Lake Road serial killer.
The sick bastard called Rory's sister.
Alert Martin and Ingrid.
We need units to move as soon as we get coordinates.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
- Hey, guys.
- What did you say? - Keep it down.
- Yeah, no, right, right.
No, I understand.
Thanks.
- He's disabled the phone again.
- We get a fix? You know where the call's coming from? Dundas Square.
He's playing with us.
We're well outside the perimeter.
We'll get dogs over here eventually.
Ingrid.
There.
Oh, dear.
Staff.
We found our girl.
I want to see my sister, please! Rory! No! No! Somehow Aurora got away.
She's high, scared out of her mind, her friend Help was so close.
And the girl never knew it.
We got work to do.
Come on.
- How you doing, boss? - You like calling me that, don'tcha? Maybe.
A little bit.
Identical earring and bracelet sets one from the remains of an adult woman, the other from the toddler.
Mother and daughter.
She bought her baby matching jewellery.
Jess All these women, they were someone's little girl once, and somebody was supposed to protect them and look after them, teach them how to look after themselves.
And somebody failed them.
Three years ago, there was a John sweep in Scarborough - near Danforth and Vic Park.
- Yeah, October '09.
- Project Trick or Treat.
- Yeah, and they nabbed some cabbies that were high flagging.
Yeah, a few.
What are you thinking? Chepetsky was a high flagger.
His girl, Leah, was a receptionist in Scarborough.
But Chepetsky wasn't part of that sweep.
It would've been on his rap sheet.
Not if it was a first offense.
He He wouldn't have a record.
Let me call up a complete list of every John and cabby they nabbed.
See what we find.
Mm.
Lisa and Ross want us to be Lola's godparents.
Cool.
That's very cool.
Um, right? Isn't it? I mean Poor Lisa.
She just keeps on trying to make a family out of us.
We are a family, honey.
- Hey.
- Hey, what's up? Staff, I think we found something.
In 2009, an East End sweep busted a heap of Johns, - plus taxi drivers.
- One was our cabby.
As a first-time offender, Mr.
Chepetsky got a suspended sentence, community service in John school.
- OK.
- One of his classmates at John school was Tim Spivak, the same Tim Spivak who owns a cottage near the bog - and reported the mysterious SUV.
- Do we know where to find him? He runs a landscaping company in Etobicoke.
- Good job.
- Thanks.
- Spear's, whatcha got? - PC Taylor went to the apartment to pack Celia a bag.
Taylor will stay with her.
- Is the usual place OK? - I just want her to be safe.
He's a sick bastard has an address, her keys.
OK, listen, I need you and Danny to go talk to Tim Spivak tomorrow morning.
OK.
We'll tee it up, let King drive it home.
Yeah, I know the game plan.
Play into his narcissism, let him feel superior.
- He'll dig his own grave.
- Let the guy feel superior.
I can do that.
Yeah, yeah, pipe down, you mutts! Hey.
Is, uh, Mr.
Spivak around? Well, I'm Tim Spivak.
This is my nephew, Scott.
I'm Detective Sergeant Spears.
This is Detective - Constable Sless.
- Hey.
Oh, this about up north? I, uh, shared all I knew about that SUV.
Uh I'm sorry about the plate number.
Oh, no, no, no.
No worries.
We just got a couple of points of clarification we need to, uh, you know, clarify.
Hehe.
Um so, Mr.
Spivak, you were you were all alone - at your cottage last weekend? - Yes, I was.
- You cottage in that area long? - Three generations.
My family actually owns two, ours, and then the next lot over.
- That's cool.
- Second one's closed for the winter.
And, uh, you said your dogs woke you up? Yeah, as you hear, they don't let much go.
So, a neighbour reported what they thought were screams - or whatever.
You hear any of that? - No, nothing like that.
No? Not at all? Screams? No, I heard nothing.
Like at night, in the morning? - Whenever they were screaming.
- No, I heard nothing.
OK.
Right.
Well, uh, your cottage is like a quarter-mile from where all the action is, right? - Yeah, about, I suppose.
- Uh-huh, and you said your dogs were barking when the SUV pulled - into that driveway there? - Yes.
Right.
So, if there were screams or anything happening later on, then I imagine they'd - kick up a fuss then too, right? - Well, maybe the wind was blowing the other way.
Right.
Oh.
Uh, one last thing.
You know that man? Uh, he looks familiar.
I can't really say why.
You went to John school together.
Sorry, just what is this about? Uh, Mr.
Spivak, would you like to continue our conversation privately? No.
I have nothing to hide certainly not in front of my family.
Look, if you're trying to ask me if I've ever hired a pro, the answer is yes, I have, in the past.
You see, the, uh, sex trade is not only the oldest on the planet, it's also the largest.
Most men have.
If they're honest.
Hm.
What about you, Scott? You like sex with hookers? - No.
- Is there anything else? - 'Cause we have, uh, work to do.
- Well, we'll have to check in with headquarters.
You do that.
OK, don't overplay the dumb bit.
Who's playing? We have burlap here bales of it in that Quonset hut.
I saw.
Hey, boss.
So, this is where we are with Spivak.
You were right he's arrogant, and, uh, he's told us he's hired prostitutes in the past.
Bring him in.
The nephew too.
We're taking them in.
Just give me one second.
I'm getting something.
Let's go.
Mr.
Spivak, we'd like to talk to you and your nephew downtown.
I'm Detective Sergeant King, head of Major Crimes Task Force.
I understand from my detectives that you frequent - prostitutes.
- I didn't say frequent.
So you're saying now that you don't? I was asked if I had ever, and I have.
Right.
You were very up front about it.
"Most men have at one point or another.
" That's your contention.
So, how frequently? Once a week? Once a month? Once in a blue moon? Nothing? Do you ever use the services of an online escort? Have you ever visited an online escort site? And I counsel you not to lie, Tim, because we will seize your computers, and that hard drive cleansing software that you downloaded really wasn't worth the time - or the money.
- I've never paid for sex from an online escort.
Do you know him? Not well enough to remember his name.
No? You went to John school together.
You don't go to John school to make friends.
You barely make eye contact.
Does your uncle have a girlfriend, Scott? Why would that matter? I'm just wondering if he likes having lady friends come over to the cottage or whatever.
Do you think that my uncle was in some way involved with all those dead people? Do you? You know, I know what's going on next door.
He's getting his back up, and that's going to give you the wrong idea.
Then, please, tell me the right one.
I owe everything to that man.
He's decent, and he Why are you doing this? I understand your uncle pretty much raised you? I get loyalty.
You want to protect him.
He would want you to protect yourself too.
Tell me the truth, OK? We'll be done here.
I had no real dad.
My mom was never present for me.
When she died, I had nobody.
Tim got me through.
He got me through school, all that crap as a teenager.
I didn't make it easy for him, and he never let me down.
- I get it.
You're tight.
- He had nothing to do with whatever happened to those people.
So, would you say your uncle is popular with the ladies, Scott? Do you recognize either of these young women? - No.
- Take another look.
Look closer.
Look at their faces.
No, I don't know them.
Should I? You tell me.
Their remains were discovered in a swamp about a quarter-mile from your property.
You know the place? - Of course.
- Of course you do.
Your family's been going to that cottage for generations.
A swampy, boggy spot like that.
Who'd know all the hidey-holes better than a little boy who grew up next to it? - I want a warrant.
- We're denied search until we get probable cause.
Well, we'll come at him from another angle.
Did Martin get anything from the nephew? Not anything that helps us.
Sex Crimes found no record of violent or sadistic acts.
If we had a DNA sample He'd have to give it to us voluntarily for it to be admissible.
- I got a slim maybe.
- Slim's better than nothing.
You know the background noise I was hearing on those 9-1-1 tapes? I got Sound to isolate it and bring it up a little bit.
It's dogs barking, I mean pretty much continuously throughout the entire 23 minutes.
Spivak admitted his dogs barked at the SUV, but he said he didn't know anything was going on down the road because his dogs weren't barking.
Tech was able to graph the frequencies and compare those to the recording I got of Spivak's dogs barking on my phone.
The same dogs, barking non-stop.
Vocal frequencies are as reliable as fingerprints.
Voice print recognition on a dog.
Proves he was lying, and liars lie for a reason.
Good work, Danny.
How long can you detain my uncle for? You aren't charging him, so - what cause? - There's not much I can say right now.
You're making a monster out of a man who once, a long time ago, accepted the come-on of a woman who was selling herself.
He was lonely.
It was a natural impulse.
Yeah, well, just as long as long as that impulse wasn't murder, he should be OK.
We have the recording of your dogs barking during Aurora's 9-1-1 call.
All I want you to do is explain.
- Explain? - Mm-hmm.
Are you a dog owner? - No.
- They bark at squirrels, they bark at leaves, they bark if there's a bitch in heat, however many miles away.
As an owner, you recognize a bark of warning, and you tune the rest out.
Good.
Great.
So you admit your dogs were barking.
- Maybe.
- Maybe? - Probably they were.
- Why'd you say they weren't? - I misspoke.
There's a lot of coincidences going on here, and I'm sure there's a reasonable way to explain each one of them, - but I'm gonna need a smart man like you to help me do that.
- All you have is that I drive a truck, like a million other people; I have access to burlap, like a million other people; And I own dogs that bark.
Coincidences? You have nothing that puts me in that swamp, nothing that ties me to the victims.
I'm never gonna say that I killed that girl, 'cause I didn't.
So bring on the lie detector.
Do your damnedest.
Then let me go.
OK.
Here's my damnedest.
How about a DNA swab? Sure.
You get a warrant, I'll give you a sample.
Are you? OK, stay there.
- I have to talk to Celia.
- Did you tell him where you were? - Just five minutes.
I only need fives minutes.
- OK, you can't be in here I'm sorry, Celia.
He made me.
I'm so sorry.
Where is she now? OK.
No, I got it.
Thanks.
- Jess.
Something's gone down at the hotel.
- What? Scott Spivak overpowered Taylor and took Celia.
- How? - He tracked her through Darren using the contacts - in Rory's phone.
- Who's on scene? Emergency Response.
Taylor's headed to the hospital to get checked out.
The kid, Darren, called it in 9-1-1.
He thinks Celia's still got her phone.
Ingrid, call in an emergency ping, see if we can get a fix on her.
- Ingrid, talk to me.
- We have GPS.
She's in a moving vehicle going north on the 427.
He may be headed to cottage country.
Call provincial police services, tell them we need the 400 northbound shut down.
Something about this doesn't make sense.
- What in particular? - If Scott's our guy, he knows how to disable the GPS.
Why would he let her take her phone? Staff, I have Jenny here.
Scott Spivak was known to the system as a juvenile.
He was moved out of his school by the Safe Schools program for assaulting a girl in a stairwell when he was 13.
He was damaged goods by the time his uncle inherited him.
Staff, they're no longer headed north.
They've taken the Rathburn exit toward East Mall.
- They're going to Spivak's.
- Ingrid, get Spears.
Tell him to put Tim Spivak in a car right away.
We might have a hostage situation.
Staff, Spears is travelling Spivak.
Backup is minutes away.
- Please don't hurt me! - Shut your mouth or I'll kill you! Scott! Hey, Scott, you in here? I just want to talk to you.
Please don't hurt me! Please.
Help me please! - Celia? - Don't let him hurt me! Please! You don't have to hurt Celia.
Help me please! It was me.
I killed them.
It's me that you need to stop.
Don't move.
Can you please tell my Uncle Tim that I'm sorry that I did this to him? Where's Celia, Scott? Ugh! - You're gonna be OK.
- Will I? You're a strong girl.
I should get back to the body.
No.
Danny, stay here with me.
Is that an order, boss? No.
You did what you had to do.
Yeah, at least he won't No, he won't.
Scott Spivak wanted to die.
Right.
Crazed killer commits suicide by cops.
End of story.
Everyone go home.
King, Scott was using the closed-up cottage next door.
Muskoka went in, luminol told the story.
The DNA on the girl, the murder weapon it all points to Scott.
And Uncle Tim had nothing to do with it? It's evidence we go on, King.
And all the evidence points to one very disturbed young man with a grudge against unfortunate young women.
Yeah.
There's too many of those.
Thanks, Chief.
Jess.
We gotta get in there.
Hi! Many persons nurture and shape the life of a child.
Will you support Lola Jessica King-McGregor? Will you be at her side to protect and guide her, that she may grow in faith, hope, and love? - I will.
- I will.
Lola, look at Uncle Danny.
Lola-bola, wake up.
Danny, take the frickin' picture.
- Lola.
- OK.
Excellent.
Oh, honey.
- Awesome.
- Oh, she's perfect.
OK.
Give her to me.
I get to hold her now.
Come see Uncle Danny.
- Want to see Uncle Danny? - Hey, Lola-bola.
See ya.
Don't know what happened to Daddy.
Showed up for the boys' christenings.
Well, that's two out of three.
He did the same for my weddings.
Thanks, Jess.
For what? For being my family.
For being there, even when you are a pain in the ass, even when I am.
I love you.
Hey.
Hey, hey, I've never done that to you before.
I just, I I just want a piece of cake.
Hey, you? What about me? To hell with Pilates, right? Lisa, I don't know if I'm a very good role model, I don't know if I'm going to be any good at this, but I'm really, really, really gonna try.
Oh, hey.
Oh! OK.
You're gonna be great.
Oh, yeah, 'cause I don't have enough awkward in my life.
- Homicide's 24/7, Major Crimes is 24/7.
- They wanted him.
Maybe they - see something in him you don't.
- I'm not saying he can't do the job.
- The adoption counselor said - She said six to eight year is what she said.
- Not if we make changes.
- I'm not giving up Homicide so I can keep breaking up our fights all right? We both knew that me being in uniform was temporary.
You said all along that you want kids.
Yeah, well who gets everything they want in life, right? People who are willing to fight for it.
9-1-1.
What is your emergency? Hello? He's he's trying to kill me.
He's - Please speak up.
- He's going to kill me.
- Hello? Are you there? - Sh-sh-sh-sh He's - Ma'am, I can't hear you.
- Please help.
- Are you alone? - Sh-sh-sh-sh Please, he's gonna kill me.
Help.
Who is trying to kill you? What is your location? You're breaking up.
Hello? Hello? Ross, suck it up.
For the love of God, just tell your parent It's a baptism.
I can handle it.
Yes, it's a real church.
I just spoke to the minister.
I will send you a picture.
- Ugh! I could strangle Ross.
- Hi, Lola-bola.
I'm just getting this kid dunked so Ross will shut the hell up.
- His family, unbelievable.
- Unlike ours, which is so cool.
Ugh, at least ours is dysfunctional out front.
The McGregors, no wonder they all have colon issues.
Here.
Hold Lola.
I need to get organized.
You're the most organized person I know.
- You're amazing.
- Oh, please.
Seriously.
You've got two boys, a new house, and a new baby, and a husband who Where is Ross? Receiving, installing software.
OK, gimme little - vampire.
Come on.
- Mm.
Uh, it says no food or drink in here.
Yeah! Bite me.
Come here.
Oh.
I know, I know, I know.
You want it, you want it.
Oh.
Come here.
OK.
Oh, there you go.
That's amazing.
Popping out babies I can do.
I can practically squat by the side of the road and Oh, Jess, - I'm so sorry.
I - Don't worry about it.
Stop.
It's not your fault I didn't get any of the birthing genes, just the bad-platelet, great-at-screwing-up-relationship genes.
Oh, boy.
Well, uh, the reason why I wanted us to meet - Is not for a decaf latte? - Mm-mm.
No.
I want you and Danny to be Lola's godparents.
- Us? Seriously? - Yes.
Shouldn't you ask someone who knows something about - parenting, or God? - Please, please.
You'll look great in the pictures, Ross has no sisters, we used up his brothers on the boys.
- OK, Danny and me - It's just if anything ever happened to me, given Ross's family, I have no fear of a shortage of unsolicited moral advice, but I do have very serious doubts that they'll teach her - anything important about really good shoes.
- Chief.
Muskoka regional police have called us for assistance.
There's a situation unfolding north of the city.
- Better get in your car.
- Sir.
I'm just gonna get the boss here.
I'll be right back.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's up? This road forks a couple of times further on.
There are 50 or so cottages down by the lake still being canvassed.
A 9-1-1 recorded 23 minutes of inaudible screaming, thrashing, and a lot of dead air.
Muskoka regional pinged it, got these coordinates.
- Have they found the phone? - No, but someone did, and they disabled the GPS.
So someone tech-savvy enough to take the batteries out of a cell phone.
Well, officers discovered the young woman's student card and bus pass by the road up that way.
She's from Toronto.
One of ours.
But no trace of her, and no body? Not yet.
Instead, what searchers stumbled on is that.
What is that? A dumping ground.
Gonna need some more bags.
How many bodies they looking at? Too soon to say.
There are two fresher ones, a man and a woman, plus four more, or parts thereof.
- At least six so far.
- OK, easy, easy, easy.
Bingo! Make that seven.
This is gonna be a bad day at work.
King 2x12 - Aurora O'Donnell Original air date May 18, 2012 It's a big old stinky mess, sir.
Getting bigger by the minute.
I've cancelled my holidays my summer ones.
Was gonna be a lot of boating, a lot of sleeping in my car.
You've got to do better.
I could put a cot in my office.
What about the girl who made the phone call? Bus pass, student card, but no girl.
Well, she didn't just disappear.
May still be alive.
Gotta hope.
You'll have all available resources at your disposal Homicide and Sex Crimes.
We'll send people to give us extra eyes, ears, hands, and feet.
And brains.
Brains are good too.
Danny? Why not? He's a good detective.
He has no competing case load.
- I'll be his boss, sir.
- Exactly.
No kids, no pets you'll both work 24/7.
How perfect is that? Detectives Martin and Evans will be joining us by phone.
They'll be our presence on the scene and will liaise with Muskoka regional.
Although the scene lies within Muskoka's jurisdiction, some of the victims, and possibly the killer, are from the GTA, so ours.
The swamp lies between an access road and a major highway.
Most of the cottages within the surrounding area have been closed for winter.
Five women, one man, one undetermined, and a toddler in various states of decomposition.
Plus skeletal fragments.
Final tally will be higher.
It's a hell of a way to cut case load at Missing Persons.
Our latest presumed victim: 21-year-old theater student Aurora O'Donnell.
We will live with this one for however long it takes, and remember it for the rest of our careers.
It's the reason we all got into police work.
There's a murderer out there who has killed at least eight times, and he has another victim who may or may not already be dead.
So, we need to put on our big-girl pants because by now one thing has changed and he knows it: We're coming for him.
Sorry, folks.
The cell reception is really intermittent here.
And shortly before six, a cottager, Tim Spivak, is welcomed by his barking dogs.
He notices a blank SUV idling in his lane.
He reports a decal of a naked woman in the rear window.
Took a stab at the plate number, but no hits on it so far.
At 6:02, 9-1-1 received a call from Aurora, in obvious distress, fearing for her life.
The call pinged to here.
While looking for Aurora, searchers discovered the first remains wrapped in burlap.
Here.
Yeah, the last two victims, a man and a woman, seem to have only been here - a few weeks.
- So far, those are the only two that have been IDed.
The latest info should be coming through to you know.
Cause of death for him looks like blunt-force trauma; For her, strangulation and stabbing.
We've got to figure out the connection between these three.
Serial killers usually have a food of choice and a clear MO.
If this is the work of one killer.
The bodies were bound in burlap, which suggests they were killed somewhere else, then dumped in the swamp.
Not the girl this morning brought there alive.
Where's the pattern? - The killer is getting sloppier.
- Or bolder.
The longer they go - uncaught, their MOs evolve.
- IDs on the most recent victims.
Anything else, boss? According to Ident, the male is Igor Chepetsky, age 47, cab driver.
He's got prints on file due to a prior.
He's been missing a month.
His cab was found at the Newmarket kiss 'n ride.
Maybe our killer is a commuter.
It's possible.
That could make me homicidal.
We got Lea Postleton, 23, a receptionist at a flooring company in Scarborough.
Matched dental records, and a kitten and rose - tattoo on her hip.
- May I? OK, so, an acting student, a receptionist, and a cab driver.
What do they have in common? Besides being in completely the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hicks, follow up on the Postleton woman family, coworkers.
Riley, you take the cab driver.
Ingrid, Martin, keep us in the loop and try to interview any cottagers, - and what's his name Spivak.
- Thanks, Staff.
Will do.
Spears, you and I'll trace down Miss O'Donnell's last-known steps.
Yep.
- Guess I'm with you, huh? - It's OK.
I got it.
Danny, um start organizing the evidence boards, and why don't you listen to the 9-1-1 tape a few, or 10, times.
Let me know if you hear anything other than screaming or birdcalls.
You got it, boss.
Aurora O'Donnell? She was at rehearsal Saturday.
I believe her sister is listed as her emergency contact.
Can you tell us anything about Aurora's life outside of school? Any friends, boyfriends, drug use? Our students are technically adults.
Beyond these walls, it's none of my business.
OK.
Speak to her classmate, Darren Choy.
Thick as thieves.
Yeah, we're buds.
I mean, we hang out and that, but, like, I don't know where she is or - anything.
I mean Oh, my God - All right, take a breath.
You want some water? She wasn't in class this morning.
When was the last time you saw her? Saturday.
For beers at Dirty Peggy's after rehearsal.
- Is Peggy a person? - No, a student bar.
Rory's sister, Celia, met us, we stayed - for last call, and then we went home.
- Where do the girls live? Mill Street.
Distillery District.
Pretty nice place for students.
She come from money? - I don't know! I - So, where does she get the money from? - They have jobs in, like, restaurants.
- Which restaurants.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, what's the matter with me? Uh, I don't know, Darren.
Help me out.
Rory's missing, and all I keep thinking is: how can I use this emotional memory in a - scene? I mean, is that messed up, or what? - I need you to start telling the truth, and you need to start doing that now, or I will give you enough emotional memory to last a lifetime.
OK, honestly, I don't know where she is.
- We're taking him in.
- Stand up.
- You're arresting me? For what? - I'll think about it in the car.
Well, we're not giving any statements at the moment.
I understand.
You need to call - the media officer.
- CC! Celia! CC! CC! - Spears, that's the vehicle.
- Darren, what's going on? - What is this?! - I'm sorry.
Something happened to Rory.
- What's going on? - Sorry.
No talking.
You were supposed to look after her! Where's my sister?! Darren, where is she?! Darren! Where's my sister?! - OK.
- Where did you leave Rory? Darren! Where's my sister?! What was Darren doing with your sister? He was driving her on a date.
A date? What kind of date? It was an outcall.
She was working as an escort.
Something awful has happened to Rory.
- That's why you're here.
- We don't know that.
I didn't hear from her this morning, but I didn't - I just kept texting her.
- Was she working - through an agency? - Online.
She has an ad.
OK, look, this escort thing, the legality of it, I don't care about that.
We're trying to find your sister, and I need you to help me help her.
Tell me what you know about her date last night.
I wasn't there.
Darren, he knows.
He was Rory's driver and bodyguard.
So, our cabby was a loner lived in a basement suite on Jarvis.
No friends, no family, nothing, except apparently the guy liked the breakfast special at the all-night café on the old hooker stroll.
Over easy.
Hey, your missus is back.
She's got some kids down at intake.
Hey.
Hey.
D-A-N? Hey.
Hey, Jim.
Hey.
Listen to this.
It's the 9-1-1 call from when the girl took off.
Listen.
What do you got? Some wind, some trees? - A frickin' bird? - Just How many times you listen to this? Like three or four.
Just listen.
There! Right there.
- You hear that? - I don't hear a damn thing.
Yeah, neither do I.
You said Jess is in intake? A gas receipt found in the glove compartment from an all-night gas station time, date, and your signature.
- So? - So we've got you in the SUV, Ident's lifting your DNA and your fingerprints, and we've got tire tracks in the mud on the scene.
Looking down the road, Darren, tell me what prevents me from charging you? - With what? With murder? - What makes you think she's dead? - You think I killed her? - I don't know.
Maybe you just pimped her off to the guy who did.
Take me to when you dropped Rory off.
It was after two when we pulled off the highway.
- It was pitch dark.
- What about Rory? She wasn't nervous? He met us so that we wouldn't get lost.
We could see the headlights when we got - closer.
- Describe the vehicle.
It was a truck, like a pickup.
I'm not really into vehicles.
- So, you met him at the turnoff to the country road.
Then what? - Rory jumped out - and went over to talk to him.
- So, you saw the John.
- The visor was down to keep our headlights out of his eyes.
- What could you see? He looked tall.
White guy.
Not old, I don't think.
Not real big.
- And you weren't scared at all for her? - She wasn't! She w She was laughing.
She said it was a sweetheart.
So, the SUV, you follow that up? We follow up every lead, Mr.
Spivak.
Uh, the Muskoka police have my have all my contacts, but there's my card if I can be of any help at all.
Thank you, sir.
We'll let you know.
I woke around 5:30.
I tried to phone Rory.
Couldn't get a signal, so I started to drive.
There were these forks in the road, and I didn't know what one to take.
I kept looking and looking.
And then the sun came up.
So what did you think had happened? I thought she was partying.
She's done that before just ditched me.
So you ditched her.
I parked in a drive, and some guy came out and yelled at me.
I thought he was calling the cops.
I didn't know! - Didn't know what? - If I missed her! Maybe the guy drove her back, maybe she was OK.
When I finally got a signal, I called Celia.
No answer.
I tried calling Rory over and over, but she didn't pick up.
So I drove home.
Dropped the SUV at her place.
Then I went to class.
You went to class.
He's telling the truth.
- And you know this how? - The 9-1-1 call.
There was all these empty spots where the sound dropped out.
It's call waiting.
Someone called Rory 11 times in the 23 minutes.
Then I guess Darren isn't our guy.
The 9-1-1 call was 23 minutes long from the time she dropped the phone to the killer disabling it.
What happened in those 23 minutes? Assuming she didn't have much of a head-start, 10 minutes to catch her, three minutes to do whatever he did, and 10 minutes to get back here to disable the phone.
Well, if we're right, she's not far away.
She came down from up there.
Anybody check further up the other ridge, - closer to the highway? - Not all of it.
Kind of have their hands full right here.
Wanna go for a walk? Hey, Hicks, did you track down Leah Postleton's next of kin? I knew Leah the minute I saw her mom.
Bad date, Allan Gardens, 2010.
Was she still working the stroll? Mom said she'd tried to go straight, but she started booking online.
Yeah, well, try making a Toronto rent on a receptionist's salary.
The mom IDed the dead cabby.
Chepetsky was a high flagger.
He ferried girls to the burbs for tips.
That explains the connection cabby was a witness, - she's a sex worker.
- The killer's food of choice.
What about the toddler, though? How does a child fit that pattern? Taking your kid on a date is cheaper than a sitter.
- It happens if the John seems like a guy she can trust.
- Spears, get Missing Persons to look for escorts petite, fair, 18-30.
- You got it.
- Flag missing moms with missing kids.
- He's managing the case now? - Yeah, whatever.
So, the officers will be back from your place in a bit.
And you're OK with what they're gonna find? 'Cause they're gonna strip the place out, and they're gonna take computers, sheets, towels My towels? Anything that might have a John's DNA.
Just get her home.
She's my sister, you know? Yeah, I do.
I have one too.
Darren called you around 6am.
We're gonna need to take a look at your phone.
Is there anything you want to tell me before I find out anyway? - I was on a date.
- So you're booking dates too? A couple times.
But I'm not Not what? Good at it.
I'm not Rory.
And how often was Rory dating? - Two, three times a week.
- Since? - October.
But she's careful.
You know, she Maybe not so much now as she was at first.
Cash changes people.
Was she using? I need to put myself in your sister's head, Celia.
Is there a chance she was high? She has a John that gets her caps of heroin - not all the time.
- She was chipping? She rubs it under her tongue.
Rory's afraid of needles.
And someone said that it's less addictive that way.
You know, that's not true.
She said it would take longer to kick in, but then - she had a cap for the ride up.
- So she was flying.
How did she screen the Johns? She would She would, like, talk to them and - Oh, my God.
Rory, where are you? - It's not Rory.
- Who is this? - Do you know your sister's a whore? - It's him.
Spears, take her.
This is Detective Sergeant Jessica King, Major Crimes Task Force, Metropolitan Police.
I need an emergency ping on the last call received from this phone.
I think it was the Lake Road serial killer.
The sick bastard called Rory's sister.
Alert Martin and Ingrid.
We need units to move as soon as we get coordinates.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
- Hey, guys.
- What did you say? - Keep it down.
- Yeah, no, right, right.
No, I understand.
Thanks.
- He's disabled the phone again.
- We get a fix? You know where the call's coming from? Dundas Square.
He's playing with us.
We're well outside the perimeter.
We'll get dogs over here eventually.
Ingrid.
There.
Oh, dear.
Staff.
We found our girl.
I want to see my sister, please! Rory! No! No! Somehow Aurora got away.
She's high, scared out of her mind, her friend Help was so close.
And the girl never knew it.
We got work to do.
Come on.
- How you doing, boss? - You like calling me that, don'tcha? Maybe.
A little bit.
Identical earring and bracelet sets one from the remains of an adult woman, the other from the toddler.
Mother and daughter.
She bought her baby matching jewellery.
Jess All these women, they were someone's little girl once, and somebody was supposed to protect them and look after them, teach them how to look after themselves.
And somebody failed them.
Three years ago, there was a John sweep in Scarborough - near Danforth and Vic Park.
- Yeah, October '09.
- Project Trick or Treat.
- Yeah, and they nabbed some cabbies that were high flagging.
Yeah, a few.
What are you thinking? Chepetsky was a high flagger.
His girl, Leah, was a receptionist in Scarborough.
But Chepetsky wasn't part of that sweep.
It would've been on his rap sheet.
Not if it was a first offense.
He He wouldn't have a record.
Let me call up a complete list of every John and cabby they nabbed.
See what we find.
Mm.
Lisa and Ross want us to be Lola's godparents.
Cool.
That's very cool.
Um, right? Isn't it? I mean Poor Lisa.
She just keeps on trying to make a family out of us.
We are a family, honey.
- Hey.
- Hey, what's up? Staff, I think we found something.
In 2009, an East End sweep busted a heap of Johns, - plus taxi drivers.
- One was our cabby.
As a first-time offender, Mr.
Chepetsky got a suspended sentence, community service in John school.
- OK.
- One of his classmates at John school was Tim Spivak, the same Tim Spivak who owns a cottage near the bog - and reported the mysterious SUV.
- Do we know where to find him? He runs a landscaping company in Etobicoke.
- Good job.
- Thanks.
- Spear's, whatcha got? - PC Taylor went to the apartment to pack Celia a bag.
Taylor will stay with her.
- Is the usual place OK? - I just want her to be safe.
He's a sick bastard has an address, her keys.
OK, listen, I need you and Danny to go talk to Tim Spivak tomorrow morning.
OK.
We'll tee it up, let King drive it home.
Yeah, I know the game plan.
Play into his narcissism, let him feel superior.
- He'll dig his own grave.
- Let the guy feel superior.
I can do that.
Yeah, yeah, pipe down, you mutts! Hey.
Is, uh, Mr.
Spivak around? Well, I'm Tim Spivak.
This is my nephew, Scott.
I'm Detective Sergeant Spears.
This is Detective - Constable Sless.
- Hey.
Oh, this about up north? I, uh, shared all I knew about that SUV.
Uh I'm sorry about the plate number.
Oh, no, no, no.
No worries.
We just got a couple of points of clarification we need to, uh, you know, clarify.
Hehe.
Um so, Mr.
Spivak, you were you were all alone - at your cottage last weekend? - Yes, I was.
- You cottage in that area long? - Three generations.
My family actually owns two, ours, and then the next lot over.
- That's cool.
- Second one's closed for the winter.
And, uh, you said your dogs woke you up? Yeah, as you hear, they don't let much go.
So, a neighbour reported what they thought were screams - or whatever.
You hear any of that? - No, nothing like that.
No? Not at all? Screams? No, I heard nothing.
Like at night, in the morning? - Whenever they were screaming.
- No, I heard nothing.
OK.
Right.
Well, uh, your cottage is like a quarter-mile from where all the action is, right? - Yeah, about, I suppose.
- Uh-huh, and you said your dogs were barking when the SUV pulled - into that driveway there? - Yes.
Right.
So, if there were screams or anything happening later on, then I imagine they'd - kick up a fuss then too, right? - Well, maybe the wind was blowing the other way.
Right.
Oh.
Uh, one last thing.
You know that man? Uh, he looks familiar.
I can't really say why.
You went to John school together.
Sorry, just what is this about? Uh, Mr.
Spivak, would you like to continue our conversation privately? No.
I have nothing to hide certainly not in front of my family.
Look, if you're trying to ask me if I've ever hired a pro, the answer is yes, I have, in the past.
You see, the, uh, sex trade is not only the oldest on the planet, it's also the largest.
Most men have.
If they're honest.
Hm.
What about you, Scott? You like sex with hookers? - No.
- Is there anything else? - 'Cause we have, uh, work to do.
- Well, we'll have to check in with headquarters.
You do that.
OK, don't overplay the dumb bit.
Who's playing? We have burlap here bales of it in that Quonset hut.
I saw.
Hey, boss.
So, this is where we are with Spivak.
You were right he's arrogant, and, uh, he's told us he's hired prostitutes in the past.
Bring him in.
The nephew too.
We're taking them in.
Just give me one second.
I'm getting something.
Let's go.
Mr.
Spivak, we'd like to talk to you and your nephew downtown.
I'm Detective Sergeant King, head of Major Crimes Task Force.
I understand from my detectives that you frequent - prostitutes.
- I didn't say frequent.
So you're saying now that you don't? I was asked if I had ever, and I have.
Right.
You were very up front about it.
"Most men have at one point or another.
" That's your contention.
So, how frequently? Once a week? Once a month? Once in a blue moon? Nothing? Do you ever use the services of an online escort? Have you ever visited an online escort site? And I counsel you not to lie, Tim, because we will seize your computers, and that hard drive cleansing software that you downloaded really wasn't worth the time - or the money.
- I've never paid for sex from an online escort.
Do you know him? Not well enough to remember his name.
No? You went to John school together.
You don't go to John school to make friends.
You barely make eye contact.
Does your uncle have a girlfriend, Scott? Why would that matter? I'm just wondering if he likes having lady friends come over to the cottage or whatever.
Do you think that my uncle was in some way involved with all those dead people? Do you? You know, I know what's going on next door.
He's getting his back up, and that's going to give you the wrong idea.
Then, please, tell me the right one.
I owe everything to that man.
He's decent, and he Why are you doing this? I understand your uncle pretty much raised you? I get loyalty.
You want to protect him.
He would want you to protect yourself too.
Tell me the truth, OK? We'll be done here.
I had no real dad.
My mom was never present for me.
When she died, I had nobody.
Tim got me through.
He got me through school, all that crap as a teenager.
I didn't make it easy for him, and he never let me down.
- I get it.
You're tight.
- He had nothing to do with whatever happened to those people.
So, would you say your uncle is popular with the ladies, Scott? Do you recognize either of these young women? - No.
- Take another look.
Look closer.
Look at their faces.
No, I don't know them.
Should I? You tell me.
Their remains were discovered in a swamp about a quarter-mile from your property.
You know the place? - Of course.
- Of course you do.
Your family's been going to that cottage for generations.
A swampy, boggy spot like that.
Who'd know all the hidey-holes better than a little boy who grew up next to it? - I want a warrant.
- We're denied search until we get probable cause.
Well, we'll come at him from another angle.
Did Martin get anything from the nephew? Not anything that helps us.
Sex Crimes found no record of violent or sadistic acts.
If we had a DNA sample He'd have to give it to us voluntarily for it to be admissible.
- I got a slim maybe.
- Slim's better than nothing.
You know the background noise I was hearing on those 9-1-1 tapes? I got Sound to isolate it and bring it up a little bit.
It's dogs barking, I mean pretty much continuously throughout the entire 23 minutes.
Spivak admitted his dogs barked at the SUV, but he said he didn't know anything was going on down the road because his dogs weren't barking.
Tech was able to graph the frequencies and compare those to the recording I got of Spivak's dogs barking on my phone.
The same dogs, barking non-stop.
Vocal frequencies are as reliable as fingerprints.
Voice print recognition on a dog.
Proves he was lying, and liars lie for a reason.
Good work, Danny.
How long can you detain my uncle for? You aren't charging him, so - what cause? - There's not much I can say right now.
You're making a monster out of a man who once, a long time ago, accepted the come-on of a woman who was selling herself.
He was lonely.
It was a natural impulse.
Yeah, well, just as long as long as that impulse wasn't murder, he should be OK.
We have the recording of your dogs barking during Aurora's 9-1-1 call.
All I want you to do is explain.
- Explain? - Mm-hmm.
Are you a dog owner? - No.
- They bark at squirrels, they bark at leaves, they bark if there's a bitch in heat, however many miles away.
As an owner, you recognize a bark of warning, and you tune the rest out.
Good.
Great.
So you admit your dogs were barking.
- Maybe.
- Maybe? - Probably they were.
- Why'd you say they weren't? - I misspoke.
There's a lot of coincidences going on here, and I'm sure there's a reasonable way to explain each one of them, - but I'm gonna need a smart man like you to help me do that.
- All you have is that I drive a truck, like a million other people; I have access to burlap, like a million other people; And I own dogs that bark.
Coincidences? You have nothing that puts me in that swamp, nothing that ties me to the victims.
I'm never gonna say that I killed that girl, 'cause I didn't.
So bring on the lie detector.
Do your damnedest.
Then let me go.
OK.
Here's my damnedest.
How about a DNA swab? Sure.
You get a warrant, I'll give you a sample.
Are you? OK, stay there.
- I have to talk to Celia.
- Did you tell him where you were? - Just five minutes.
I only need fives minutes.
- OK, you can't be in here I'm sorry, Celia.
He made me.
I'm so sorry.
Where is she now? OK.
No, I got it.
Thanks.
- Jess.
Something's gone down at the hotel.
- What? Scott Spivak overpowered Taylor and took Celia.
- How? - He tracked her through Darren using the contacts - in Rory's phone.
- Who's on scene? Emergency Response.
Taylor's headed to the hospital to get checked out.
The kid, Darren, called it in 9-1-1.
He thinks Celia's still got her phone.
Ingrid, call in an emergency ping, see if we can get a fix on her.
- Ingrid, talk to me.
- We have GPS.
She's in a moving vehicle going north on the 427.
He may be headed to cottage country.
Call provincial police services, tell them we need the 400 northbound shut down.
Something about this doesn't make sense.
- What in particular? - If Scott's our guy, he knows how to disable the GPS.
Why would he let her take her phone? Staff, I have Jenny here.
Scott Spivak was known to the system as a juvenile.
He was moved out of his school by the Safe Schools program for assaulting a girl in a stairwell when he was 13.
He was damaged goods by the time his uncle inherited him.
Staff, they're no longer headed north.
They've taken the Rathburn exit toward East Mall.
- They're going to Spivak's.
- Ingrid, get Spears.
Tell him to put Tim Spivak in a car right away.
We might have a hostage situation.
Staff, Spears is travelling Spivak.
Backup is minutes away.
- Please don't hurt me! - Shut your mouth or I'll kill you! Scott! Hey, Scott, you in here? I just want to talk to you.
Please don't hurt me! Please.
Help me please! - Celia? - Don't let him hurt me! Please! You don't have to hurt Celia.
Help me please! It was me.
I killed them.
It's me that you need to stop.
Don't move.
Can you please tell my Uncle Tim that I'm sorry that I did this to him? Where's Celia, Scott? Ugh! - You're gonna be OK.
- Will I? You're a strong girl.
I should get back to the body.
No.
Danny, stay here with me.
Is that an order, boss? No.
You did what you had to do.
Yeah, at least he won't No, he won't.
Scott Spivak wanted to die.
Right.
Crazed killer commits suicide by cops.
End of story.
Everyone go home.
King, Scott was using the closed-up cottage next door.
Muskoka went in, luminol told the story.
The DNA on the girl, the murder weapon it all points to Scott.
And Uncle Tim had nothing to do with it? It's evidence we go on, King.
And all the evidence points to one very disturbed young man with a grudge against unfortunate young women.
Yeah.
There's too many of those.
Thanks, Chief.
Jess.
We gotta get in there.
Hi! Many persons nurture and shape the life of a child.
Will you support Lola Jessica King-McGregor? Will you be at her side to protect and guide her, that she may grow in faith, hope, and love? - I will.
- I will.
Lola, look at Uncle Danny.
Lola-bola, wake up.
Danny, take the frickin' picture.
- Lola.
- OK.
Excellent.
Oh, honey.
- Awesome.
- Oh, she's perfect.
OK.
Give her to me.
I get to hold her now.
Come see Uncle Danny.
- Want to see Uncle Danny? - Hey, Lola-bola.
See ya.
Don't know what happened to Daddy.
Showed up for the boys' christenings.
Well, that's two out of three.
He did the same for my weddings.
Thanks, Jess.
For what? For being my family.
For being there, even when you are a pain in the ass, even when I am.
I love you.
Hey.
Hey, hey, I've never done that to you before.
I just, I I just want a piece of cake.
Hey, you? What about me? To hell with Pilates, right? Lisa, I don't know if I'm a very good role model, I don't know if I'm going to be any good at this, but I'm really, really, really gonna try.
Oh, hey.
Oh! OK.
You're gonna be great.
