Well, there is another innocent

Do you mind telling me what happened the night Wyllanne died? No, I haven't scheduled my pre-op appointment yet.
Um, let me check my calendar.

Dry mucosal surfaces.
Dehydration.
I mean, it's not uncommon for an addict.
I'll order a tox screen, just to make sure it's an overdose.
Well, no, no I.
D.
, no wallet, no cell phone.
Nothing other than the one-day recovery chip and the needle and baggy we found nearby.
You know, I'll canvas the area for witnesses.
Check local security cameras.

MALIK: Hey! - You good? - Yeah.

- Huh.
I swear I've seen it before.
MELANIE: Figaro qua, Figaro la, RIVER: Figaro qua, - Figaro la - JENNY: Okay, not you, too.
You stay here long enough, it'll be you, too.
So, what do we have? MELANIE: No broken bones, no blunt force trauma.
JENNY: Okay, no petechiae hemorrhaging.
No strangulation or asphyxiation.
Other than the obvious track marks, I don't see anything unusual.
Aside from the spiral burn mark on his wrist.
His tox screen was strangely inconclusive.
Not enough drugs on board for an overdose, but, he did have trace amounts of psylocibin in his blood.
Magic mushrooms.
Well, that didn't kill him.
[PAPERS RUSTLE.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
I got bruises, brands, tattoos and scarifications, and One on-brand spiral coming at ya.
This is the Oshae Bennett case.
His girlfriend had the same mark.
Want me to get the Crown on the phone? Uh, no thank you.

Uh You coulda just called.
Or this was about a case.
There's something different about you.
Does that line ever work for you? You tell me.
How am I doin'? [VIDEO CALL RINGS.]
Ah, Mr.
Bennett.
How're you doing? You here to tell me they denied my appeal? No, no, nothing like that, actually, I hear it's, uh, it's going well, but um At the moment, Dr.
Cooper could use your help.
Yeah, sure.
Great, thank you.
Um, could you take a look at this picture, and let me know if you recognize the mark in it? You seen this before? Last time I saw her alive, she didn't have it.
Is there any chance that she could've got it during the day, and you just, you didn't notice? I was so hung-over that morning that My only concern was the hell I was gonna catch from Wyllanne, for drinking.
Wyllanne didn't like you drinking? I've been trying to support her efforts to get sober.
She had a hard time, you know.
She worked the programs, but uh She always ended up at day one.
But she went to meetings every Wednesday.
Never missed one.
Even when she was using.
The only thing she had to do that day was recovery group.
She was always trying to get me to go with her, you know.
Maybe if I just Would've gone with her, everything would've been okay.

- Ugh! [PAINED GRUNTS.]
[ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY.]

Ahhhh! - [GRUNTS.]
- [ENGINE RUMBLES.]
Ah! [PAINED GRUNTS.]
Eloise! Eloise! Got three Wednesday meetings.
One of them is 20 clicks away from where Wyllanne used to live, so, I doubt it that's one.
What about this one? Uh, well that is a men's group.
But I found one that meets every Wednesday at a community centre, on Delman Drive, so, my money is on this one.
- Let's do it! - [BRIEFCASE RATTLES.]
Let's do Um, sorry, but this is uh, this is my case.
Well, if someone there knows who killed Wyllanne Rai, it would exonerate Oshae.
I have a moral obligation.
Okay, so you wanna go crash a recovery meeting with me.
Yeah.
Could be fun.

MASON: Just wanted to start by encouraging all of you to share your personal experiences with us today.
So, you know, don't hold back.
- First - Okay, let's uh, let's try to talk to people after the meeting.
MASON: someone who is celebrating a milestone.
We gotta be sly, because I'm guessing most of them have issues with authority.
- Yeah.
- Shh! Sorry.
MASON: Would you like to share with the group? Hi, my name is Kai, and I'm an addict.
GROUP: Hi, Kai.
Today is my medallion.
One year clean and sober.
[APPLAUSE.]
It definitely hasn't been easy, and if it wasn't for all you, I'd be on day one, instead of day 365.
Yeah, but it's that commitment to being clean, that has kept you clean, Kai.
I mean, we all saw you hit your rock bottom right here, but we also watched you bounce right back up again.
I wish Freddy could be here with me right now.
He was like a brother to me.
He's the one who made me start coming to this group.
When he fell, [SNIFFS.]
I nearly fell, too.
Hey, he'd be so proud of you, Kai.
[CHUCKLES SADLY.]
Can't help but see a couple new faces in the back, there.
Would either one of you like to come up, share with the group? JENNY: Uh It's your case.
Hi, I'm uh, I'm Jenny Cooper, and I'm uh The coroner.

MASON: Jenny Cooper? You're coming to our meeting under a false pretext, well, kinda compromises the safety of the space.
Sorry, I, I, I understand.
Um, I need to show you a photo of a decedent, and I, I'd like to know, do you, do you know this man? He had a one-day chip in his pocket.
No other form of identification.
That's Trent.
Trent uh, Wilner.
That was his last name, right? He came to the meetings pretty regularly.
I mean Trent, he really wanted to get clean, but, he could never commit for more than a day or two.
Have you seen this before? - No.
- No.
Sorry.
It's okay, thank you.
You two really have no idea, what any of us have been through, do you? I mean, this space that we hold for one another here It's sacred.
I understand.

JENNY: Wait.
Kai? - Kai! - Leave me alone.
Can I talk to you, please? Look, I'm not the police.
You don't have to talk to me, but I could really, use your help.
We found a John Doe in the alley.
It was an overdose, and we think it's Trent, from your group.
- Yeah, so? - So We think his death might be related to Wyllanne's, and she was also in your group, right? Yeah, but her boyfriend killed her.
- He confessed, so.
- So, she had the same burn mark, on her wrist As you do.
Trent had it too, right, so they both had the marks, they're both dead, it doesn't feel like a coincidence, Kai.
Look, can you just tell me what it means? I mean, did somebody, did somebody give it to you? [OMINOUS MUSIC.]

Have you made a decision about the surgery? No, not yet.
But I feel great! I mean, best I've felt in a long time, actually.
And maybe if I don't have the surgery, I'll be fine.
You have a hole in your spine, Donovan.
Swiss cheese has holes.
Bagels have holes.
Golf courses have holes.
[LAUGHS.]
Come on, it's my day off.
Says the man who's married to his work.
Is that why you don't have kids? You are not gonna take it easy on me, are you? Would you like me if I did? All right then What about you? Do you want kids? I like kids.
Mm-hmm? I've lived a less-than conventional life, and I love it.
I've been able to make a living off of my art and I get to travel, and I get to do things at my own pace.

- Agh! ALPHONSE: Good night! Toronto has too many opioid deaths.
Yeah, that's why we call it an epidemic.
Oh, okay.
All right, this This is interesting.
Uh, Freddy Bullard, he died of an OD, and his medical record says that he was on dialysis the night before he died.
He gets out of the hospital, where, a machine is doing what his kidneys can't, - and he gets high.
- Yeah, but that, is not the interesting part.
- He had the spiral.
- Mm-hmm.
Impaired kidney function can be a result of dehydration, and Trent, our John Doe in the alleyway, he had symptoms of dehydration.
I didn't think it was severe, at first, but now, I'm not so sure.
Okay, so if it's extreme, what does that mean? It means something very weird is going on.
- Interesting.

[ROPE ZIPS.]
We're gonna make it, Eloise.
Come on.
There is lesions on the kidney.
It's not just dehydration, that's hyperthermia.
Okay, so at some point, Trent was exposed to extreme heat before he died.
I've been to some pretty intense sweats, but that's ceremony.
No one's ever died.
Yeah, and I'm assuming you weren't on mushrooms when you did it.
No.
That's more like a peyote ceremony.
What if somebody combined them together? Wouldn't be the first time our cultural practices have been co-opted.
Yeah.
Okay, so what if Kai's recovery group tried to create some sort of extreme detox? You said their meeting was in a community centre? - Was there a pool? - Mm-hmm.
Maybe there's a sauna.
We had an accident and uh She got loose.
Just a scratch.
Oh, yeah? Good.
[ELOISE BREATHES HEAVILY.]
All right.
I'll step out and uh, let you do what you need to do.
I think Eloise would like you to stay.
You two look like you've been to war and back.
- She trusts you.
- She does? Here, give her this while I, give her a shot of antibiotics.
Hey, want some? [ELOISE SNORTS.]
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
I was in uh Horse therapy.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
I've heard that works! They say the horse is like a mirror, right? - Yeah.

[FOOTSTEPS THUD.]
What's your theory? Uh, that they were using magic mushrooms and extreme heat, to speed up the detox process.
This seems counterproductive, for addicts to be using hallucinogens, no? Door's open.

That's okay, Mason, just open the door.

There's a connection between Dr.
Cooper's case and yours.
What kinda connection? Uh Her recovery group leader, he convinced Wyllanne to participate in a, in a dangerous treatment, that resulted in her death.
He was the one that was responsible.
It was his fault.
Not yours.
You mean I didn't, I didn't hurt her? You're an innocent man, Oshae.
And I'm gonna work my ass off to overturn your conviction.
[SMALL LAUGH.]
Thank you.
I did this to you, and I'm sorry.

JENNY: Okay, no petechiae hemorrhaging.
No strangulation or asphyxiation.
Other than the obvious track marks, I don't see anything unusual.
Aside from the spiral burn mark on his wrist.
His tox screen was strangely inconclusive.
Not enough drugs on board for an overdose, but, he did have trace amounts of psylocibin in his blood.
Magic mushrooms.
Well, that didn't kill him.

Yeah, sure.
Great, thank you.
Um, could you take a look at this picture, and let me know if you recognize the mark in it? You seen this before? Last time I saw her alive, she didn't have it.
Is there any chance that she could've got it during the day, and you just, you didn't notice? I was so hung-over that morning that My only concern was the hell I was gonna catch from Wyllanne, for drinking.
Wyllanne didn't like you drinking? I've been trying to support her efforts to get sober.
She had a hard time, you know.
She worked the programs, but uh She always ended up at day one.
But she went to meetings every Wednesday.
Never missed one.
Even when she was using.
The only thing she had to do that day was recovery group.
She was always trying to get me to go with her, you know.

We gotta be sly, because I'm guessing most of them have issues with authority.
- Yeah.
- Shh! Sorry.
MASON: Would you like to share with the group? Hi, my name is Kai, and I'm an addict.
GROUP: Hi, Kai.
Today is my medallion.
One year clean and sober.
[APPLAUSE.]
It definitely hasn't been easy, and if it wasn't for all you, I'd be on day one, instead of day 365.
Yeah, but it's that commitment to being clean, that has kept you clean, Kai.
I mean, we all saw you hit your rock bottom right here, but we also watched you bounce right back up again.
I wish Freddy could be here with me right now.
He was like a brother to me.
He's the one who made me start coming to this group.

Sorry, I, I, I understand.
Um, I need to show you a photo of a decedent, and I, I'd like to know, do you, do you know this man? He had a one-day chip in his pocket.
No other form of identification.
That's Trent.
Trent uh, Wilner.
That was his last name, right? He came to the meetings pretty regularly.
I mean Trent, he really wanted to get clean, but, he could never commit for more than a day or two.
Have you seen this before? - No.

It was an overdose, and we think it's Trent, from your group.
- Yeah, so? - So We think his death might be related to Wyllanne's, and she was also in your group, right? Yeah, but her boyfriend killed her.
- He confessed, so.
- So, she had the same burn mark, on her wrist As you do.
Trent had it too, right, so they both had the marks, they're both dead, it doesn't feel like a coincidence, Kai.

Uh, Freddy Bullard, he died of an OD, and his medical record says that he was on dialysis the night before he died.
He gets out of the hospital, where, a machine is doing what his kidneys can't, - and he gets high.
- Yeah, but that, is not the interesting part.
- He had the spiral.
- Mm-hmm.
Impaired kidney function can be a result of dehydration, and Trent, our John Doe in the alleyway, he had symptoms of dehydration.
I didn't think it was severe, at first, but now, I'm not so sure.

No.
