"Ice!" "I need more ice!" "Comin' up.♪" "Chris, buddy." "I need help man." "I don't feel good." "I'm in Chinatown somewhere, some alleyway." "I need you to come pick me up." "Played 01x08 Poison Originally Aired November 21, 2013" "We should probably get some sleep, don't you think?" "Yeah, we should probably get on that." "What?" "What?" "So which is it?" "Am I your boyfriend, or is this just... you know." "Are we having "the talk"?" "I'm just saying." "Yeah, you're right, I mean..." "We're in the same unit." "It's against the rules." "It has to stop." "Tonight's the last time." "Ever." "You're so full of it." "We can't tell anyone, Jesse." "Moreland, Rebecca." "Yeah." "Done." "We're good liars, right?" "Mmm-hmm." "So all we have to do is lie." "Ben Trinder." "Twenty-one years old." "Coroner did a tox screen." "He was positive for GHB and liquid nicotine." "Seriously?" "That stuff's lethal." "GHB is a party drug." "It's low-tech, made in basement labs." "Drug Squad's best guess is dealers add in the nicotine to pump up the high." "So what, they overshot, put in a little too much?" "If there's a bad batch of drugs out there, things can get real ugly." "Remember a few years ago that dealer that was cutting coke with novocaine?" "Yeah, eight people died and thirty more in I.C.U." "So we need to move fast, before we end up with more dead kids." "So what we got?" "Not much, a location." "Before he died, he went to a place called Stem." "It's an illegal after hours club." " Never heard of it." " I've been there." "It moves around every few months to avoid getting busted." "Word of mouth, invitation only." "See John, basically, if you're over thirty..." "Drug Squad doesn't want to do a raid, they think it will spook the dealer." "He'll disappear into thin air, and the drugs stay out there." "So they're handing the case over to us." "The owner of Stem is Joe Kane." "He's gone down twice for assault, once with a broken bottle, took out someone's eye." "This guy's got a temper." "Guaranteed, he's going to know who the dealers are and who's selling." "Drug Squad sent this over, it's an invitation card." "We use it to get by the doorman." "Jesse, you're under thirty, you can take point." "See if you can get inside and get an idea on this dealer." "Cool." "Why don't I go with him?" "I've been there before, I know the scene." "You wanna go undercover?" "They grow up so fast." "Hey, I've done plays before." "Small ones." "But, yeah, good idea," "Let's unleash you into the world." "The entrance to the club is in a Chinese restaurant on Spadina." "According to Drug Squad, you go through the restaurant into the kitchen." "There's a stairway in back." "It'll take you down to the club." "You'll both be wired." "Maria and John will run cover." "They'll be right upstairs." "Private party tonight." "Seriously?" "This card doesn't work?" "Not tonight, man." "Turn around." "What about this?" "This help?" "It's a private party, bro." "Sorry." "What's it going to take?" "It's not happening, alright?" "So turn around, stop wasting my time." "I don't think Joey would be very happy with you turning away pretty girls." "You know Joe do you?" "I used to go to these parties all the time." "Oh yeah?" "So what does Joe hang on top of the DJ booth at every location?" "Ummm." "Dude she was high, she wasn't paying attention." "No, no, no, I got this." "It was a... sign." "It's one of those scrolling..." ""Don't Stop Love."" "Am I right?" "I'm totally right." "I got two coming down." "Thank you so much." "Don't stop the love, baby." "Okay they're in." "Do you really know that guy, Joe the owner?" "Nope." "Never met him." "Your job is to ID the dealer, that's it." "You're looking to score." "Talk to waiters, bartenders, the owner if you see him." "Be careful." "Anyone smells you're a cop, the dealer will vanish." "What can I get you?" "Beer and a vodka soda." "Behind you." "Is that Joe?" "I don't know." "It's hard to tell without the bruises" "Let's get a closer look." "You know what, it should just be me." "I can get closer to him without you." "Wait just a sec." "I'll be careful." "Girlfriend?" "Yeah." "No, it's complicated." "So you're a dick." "No." "I want her to be my girlfriend, I just have to convince her." "Good, I hate dicks." "Joe, hi." "I love the new building." "You don't recognize me, do you?" "Seriously?" "You're one of those guys, huh?" "Khali." "Khali, right." "What's happening?" "Khali's ID'd the owner." "Nice try." "Give me a break, I meet a lot of beautiful women." "Oh right, good save." "Cheers." "Cheers." "So who do I talk to if I want to party?" "Just point me in the right direction and push." "She's blunt as hell." "You want to party." "The direct approach." "No one's ever told you to say no to drugs, little girl?" "Not even once." "Wish I could help you out, I just can't do that." "Really?" "Sorry." "You're a photographer, right?" "Yeah." "Are those yours?" "You like?" "Are you kidding?" "I love, they're amazing." "Thank you." "Are you a photographer?" "I always wanted to be." "Maybe you could give me some pointers." "What would you like to know?" "What does this do?" "You want another beer?" "Will you do a shot with me?" "Two shots of vodka." "One for you." "I'm Jesse." "Beetle." "What?" "Like the bug." "There's gotta be a guy around here who's selling, right?" "I'm looking to score." "Is what I'm saying, hoping you could help me." "I wish I could, but our guy's not in tonight." "Really?" "You look so disappointed." "Thanks for the drink, Jesse." " Let's go." " Aliright." "What's going on?" "Joe's confirmed the dealer's not in the house." "Is Khali going somewhere with that guy?" "I've got a bad feeling about this." "He's got an apartment upstairs, he's going to show her some photos." "I want you to stay with them, okay?" "I don't like it either." "But we got ears." "We're going to let this one play." "Don't lose her." "I'm right behind them." "They're going in back." " All right." "Stay with them, OK?" " Done." "Is this a good idea?" "She'll get more from him when they're alone, then with a bit of luck, the dealer might make a house call." "You okay?" "I lost her." "Bouncer won't let me through." "Alright, just get back up here fast." "Well, it's kind of mess but... come in, come in, make yourself at home." "Wow, this place is great." "She's inside." "Third floor, apartment six." "Have some drinks, look at some photos, then I have a surprise for you." "Surprise, what is it?" "You're going to like it." "On the third floor there's a fire escape, let's go." "Anything bad happens, you know what to do." "I got it, get up there, hurry." "Let me just pull this up." "Be my guest." "Oh wow, these are amazing." "Look at how you captured all those people." "That's what I do." "What are you pouring me?" "A big fat cocktail." "You trying to get me loaded or something?" "Then I'm going to take advantage of you." "Good luck with that." "John, hurry." "I don't like what I'm hearing." "A little of this..." "Alright, and..." "Be right there..." "You are so talented." "This is amazing." "Thank you." "Cheers." "So, I have something for you." "A little gift." "Hold out your hand." "Best way to get to know someone." "You get high with them." "You get right 'under their skin'." "John, he's offering her drugs." "How is she?" "She's holding her own, but you gotta move." "Where do you get this stuff, you got a dealer?" "Don't worry about it, just enjoy, alright." "I want to." "I just feel so bad for ditching my friends like this." "You can't call." "Have you ever had GHB before?" "This stuff is very pure, very clean, it's very designer." "Just like liquid E." "My friends are going to want me downstairs." "Stay a little." "Let me help you out here." "Open your mouth, open your mouth." "You know what I'm going to have to bail." " What I don't get it?" " Thanks for the drink." "How can I talk you into staying?" "Why are you freaking out on me?" "We're just having drinks." " Hey!" " Things are getting tense." "Where are you?" "We're at the top." "The door's locked!" "Hey, get off me!" "What makes you think you're going to leave?" "She's in trouble." "Get in there, get her out." "Get off me!" "I wanna go!" "You wanna party?" "We're gonna party, you little bitch." "Police!" "Get off her!" "Khali?" "She's OK." "She's OK." "Jesse, that's enough." "You OK?" "I got him." "Right there, yeah." "He was trying to get me to take GHB." "Then he slams me up against the wall." "It came out of nowhere." "But I'm fine, it's fine." "You're not fine." "Your lips." "It's okay." "It doesn't hurt." "You're going to drive her to the hospital anyway, get it checked out." "We need the medical report, you know that." " I'm fine." " Don't argue." "Look, this was a tough situation, you did good." "Come on." "What's going on?" "This just came in." "Tyler Clarke." "Twenty years old." "GHB laced with liquid nicotine." "We got another overdose on our hands." "I thought he was going to kill you." "You were in there with him, and I couldn't get to you." "Hey." "I'm okay." "It's okay." "No it's not okay!" "That was brutal." "You nearly blew our cover with Rebecca, you know." "I don't care." "You're really upset." "You just figured that out now?" "I'm getting blood on you." "C'mon on, I'll drive." "This is entrapment." "I was set up." "Yeah?" "How's that?" "Those weren't my drugs, they were hers." "She must've brought them up to my place, happens all the time." "I didn't touch her, she attacked me, I was defending myself." " Joe." " It's her word against mine." "Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky." "Maybe the judge'll believe you." "At this moment, I couldn't care less." "Ben Trinder, Taylor Clarke." "Both of these kids bought drugs at your club." "GHB, you know all about it." "We found a dozen caps in your kitchen." "It killed them." "These kids were barely twenty." "Maybe they got them somewhere else," "All right, cause I don't allow drugs in my club." "That would be illegal..." "I'm not in the mood to play games..." "I don't care what the hell you're in the mood for, lady!" "You drag me down here, you throw all this crap at me." "If anymore of these drugs get sold..." "That's not my problem!" "I have done nothing wrong!" "Now can I please make my phone call?" "We got nothing from Joe Kane, but we're holding him, for assault and running an illegal bar." "A second OD has been linked back to the club." "Same cause of death." "I should warn you." "I'm getting big pressure from the brass." "They want to shut the club down." "That's a bad idea, it'll just pop up somewhere else." "They're giving us 24 hours to get this done." "What?" "You're kidding me." "You wanna show us the spoils of your evening?" "I grabbed over a 1,000 photos from Joe's laptop." "So far, fifteen of them, from fifteen different nights." "This guy, he's in the background." "Standing in one spot and people coming up to him." "That looks like a buy if I could see their hands." "We need a name, that's going to come from our friend Joe." "The bartender, Beetle." "You got an angle?" "She likes nice guys." "I'm thinking I could be a little heart broken." "That's our best move." "Okay, so I'll head back into the club." "Not you." "You got the night off." "We should also be working the street." "Check with your CI's maybe they've heard something." "We need to get this dealer now." "Khali, got a second?" "Can you shut the door?" "How's your face?" "It's hurting." "Hypothetical." "If two of my officers were becoming personally involved, it would be a problem for me." "I'd have to follow procedure." "Transfer one of them out of the unit." "If they were." "Yeah." "That kind of emotion, you can't think clearly." "This isn't a game Khali, kids are dying." "You make bad choices, you get distracted." "You put everyone's life in danger." "I wouldn't want that to happen." "Me either." "Do I need to have this talk with anyone else?" "No, you're good." "I've done some crazy-ass things to impress her." "This is the girl from last night?" "This one time in high school... this is kinda embarrassing." "You did something stupid." "I wanted to show her how agile I was so I jumped out of a window and I broke my leg." "But it worked, big time." "So you're sweet, huh." "That's how you get laid, by being a sweetheart?" "Should try being hardcore, see if girls like that better?" "No, no, stick with sweet, sweet is good." "So where is she tonight, your soulmate?" "I don't know, she's probably out cheating on me." "What, that's funny?" "She's banging some guitar player." "This guy wrote a song for her." "How am I suppose to compete with that?" "You got out-sweeted." "The way this night is going, I need to get high." "I need to get completely messed up." "I should not be doing this." "Mention my name, and he will hook you up, okay." "Off I go." "You're the best." "Watch yourself, okay?" "Liam's a little crazy." "No sudden moves around him." "Help!" "We need help in here!" "This guy isn't breathing!" "I don't know." "He just keeled over, right in front of me." "Can you talk?" "Did you call an ambulance?" "Yeah, I'll call back and see how far they are." "Mark!" "What happened to him!" "?" "You know this guy?" "What did he take?" "Who gave it to him?" "I don't know, he was lying on the ground." "Mark, wake up!" "Oh God, what did he take?" "I need help, emergency, in the men's washroom, now!" "His name is Mark Cameron." "He was DOA at Mount Sinai." "Three OD's." "Three different nights." "All from the same club." "The bouncer seemed to really take it hard." "Take a look at this, it's Mark's phone." "That's the other two victims." "So they knew each other, all three of them?" "They were all friends?" "They partied together, had the same dealer?" "Presumably Liam." "Okay, but wait." "The night he died, Mark got a text." ""Hey, baby, you should come to Stem tonight, I'm partying, dying to meet you."" "Came from a burner cell, it's impossible to trace." "And check out Ben's phone, two nights earlier." "Same text word for word." "They were lured to the club." "Someone is targeting these boys, one by one." "We're dealing with multiple murders." "OK, Danny, we need to find Liam and make a buy." "We need to bring him in for questioning." "You got it." "I'm on the third floor now." "Tell me what you see." "Looks like a sweatshop, must be at the back." "Be careful, Beetle said he's crazy." "So this should be fun then?" "Hey, I'm looking for Liam." "Drug Squad's following up with the families of the boys." "Maybe they know something." "Ben Trinder has a sheet." "Possession for the purpose, two counts." "So what, these guys are in the drug business?" "Honing in on Liam's turf and he didn't like the competition, and decided to take them out?" "It's possible." "Could be a motive." "Hey, I'm Daniel." "I'm the one that called." "Daniel from the suburbs, how you doing?" "I'm out." "Come over here, let's talk over here." "Listen..." "I heard you could help me out, maybe." "You heard that, huh?" "I could make it worth your while, man." "I'll take everything you got right now." "You want to talk about it or should I turn around?" "You're a friend of Joe's?" "Yeah." "I like Joe." "He's a stand-up guy." "Really?" "I think he's a dick." "This guy's a comedian." "Can I show you something?" "Look at this, I just got this, it's like four hundred years old." "Are you a cop, Daniel?" "'Cause if you are, I'm going to gut you with my antique knife." "Goes in like butter, that's how sharp it is." "I know." "I already tried it, on the last cop who wanted to be my friend." "Let's relax, alright?" "If I was a cop, you'd be in cuffs right now." "You're scared." "Oh boy, you're scared." "What are you doing, man?" "Are you putting a hole in my shirt?" "You know how much this shirt cost?" "Oh man, I wrecked it." "Look, Joe said you had good stuff, and I'm buying in bulk." "So if you think I'm a cop, then I'll go buy my stuff somewhere else." "From someone less paranoid, maybe." "What's that mean:" ""bulk"." "Two liters to start?" "OK, Khali, what have you got?" "Lab reports." "The blood work from Mark Cameron is a match." "All three boys died of the same thing." "Same bunch of GHB." "It's identical and matches what Crazy Liam sold to Daniel." "Except for one thing." "The nicotine." "Yeah." "What Daniel bought wasn't laced, it was clean." "So Liam was lacing the individual caps." "Targeted killings." "He wanted to take out his competition." "We should talk to the bouncer, Orlando." "When Mark was on the floor there, his reaction?" "I think he knows them." "Makes sense if these boys want to take over Liam's business." "Orlando worked there, he could be involved." "I'm going to go pay him a visit." "See if he can fill in some blanks." "You wanna have a go at Liam there?" "Yeah." "No." "I don't want you, I want the cop that tricked me." "Why don't you go out there and get him and bring him back cause I got a couple of things I want to say to him." "You finished?" "'Cause I got some bad news for you, Liam." "Trafficking was bad enough, but now manslaughter." "You're screwed." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Those GHB caps you're selling at the Stem, you've been cutting them with poison, liquid nicotine." "No, I'm not." "Oh yes, you are." "Three dead kids, Liam, that's not good." "Whoa, whoa, just stop!" "Just think about it for a second." "A, I'm an artist, alright, I take pride in my work." "B, I'd be killing off my own clientele." "What?" "You think I'm trying to put myself out of business?" "I don't know, maybe you're trying to put them out of business." "What are you talking about?" "Were those kids stepping on your turf, Liam?" "Look." "Any one of my customers could have done it." "Do the math, hundreds of kids in that club." "Then you tell me, which one did it Liam?" "My lawyer, right now, before I say another word." "Let's get this kid a lawyer." "He's going to need one." "Good morning, Orlando." "Rebecca Ellis, Detective Sergeant." "I have a couple of questions for you." "About what?" "Your friend, Mark." "He died at the hospital." "I'm sorry." "Yeah... come in." "So you're crashing at Joe's place?" "Yeah, he got arrested." "I'm looking after it for him." "How'd you know I was here?" "I'm the one who arrested him." "Did you know these two boys as well?" "Tyler Clarke and Ben Trinder." "No." "I mean, yeah they came to the club." "They OD'd." "That's all I know." "Who gave them the GHB?" "Who wants them dead Orlando?" "They were dealing drugs maybe?" "Pissed someone off?" "C'mon you work at the club, you see things." "Like I said..." "They come to the club, they like to hang out at the club." "We're friendly, that's it." "And what else?" "Nothing." "Orlando, you know something about this." "Tell me what happened." "You'll feel better when you do." "No I won't, believe me." "I can't stop thinking about it." "What did you see?" "Something bad." "Something very, very bad." "There's this stock room, in the club, in the back." "And there's a girl." "Bro, you in or out?" "It was Ben, the guy that died, that OD'd." "Ben Trinder?" "Yeah." "And Mark was there too." "They were taking off her clothes." "Who is she?" "I don't know, man, some girl, named Sadie." "So you in or out?" "And I did nothing." "I went to the bar." "I got shots, I got wasted." "I saw the girl come out, Sadie." "She looked bad, she was crying." "I don't know who she was, I never saw her at the bar before." "I should've done something, I should have." "I should have... why didn't I call the cops?" "Why didn't I go in there, myself?" "How many guys were in the room with Sadie?" "Five... five." "Mark, Tyler, Ben, and two more." "I don't know them." "Orlando, someone's targeting these boys." "If there's two out there..." "I'm sorry, I don't know their names." "Look, I'm telling you the truth." "Sadie what?" "No last name." "Just pull up sexual assaults in the last month." "Nothing." "She probably didn't report it." "Do a general search." "Girls, 16 to 24, first name starts with "S"..." "Okay." "There's like five hundred." "What?" "Sadie Jansen." "Oh God, she committed suicide two weeks ago." "Hanged herself." "Who called it in?" "Does it say?" "Her parents were out of town, she was found by..." "What?" "Her sister." "Brynne Jansen." "Nickname, Beetle." "She's targeting the boys who raped her sister." "So she buys the drugs, adds the nicotine, lures them into the club, spikes their drinks." "Makes it look like an OD." "So it's revenge, pure and simple." "And she has two more targets out there." "She could poison them any minute." " We got names?" " We're not there yet." "Why don't we just pick her up?" "Have you talked to Homicide?" "She's not at home, she's not answering her phone." "Besides, we don't have enough evidence, not yet." "Jesse you're going to the club tonight, you and Khali." "We need to get a confession." "Okay?" "All right, let's get this done." "It's going to be all hands on deck tonight, including Khali, everyone has ears." "Jesse will take point." "John and Daniel will be upstairs in the restaurant for back up." "Maria and I will be in the van." "We're good, we got audio." "She's not at the bar." "You wanna hang back for a second?" "I'm looking for Beetle." "You and me both." "She's not working tonight?" "When you find her, tell her to get back here, I need help." "She's here somewhere." "She's gone AWOL." "Okay, let's take a look around." "Khali, you need to search the entire club." "Orlando mentioned a stock room, see if you can find it." "No sign of her yet, we're going to split up." "I found her." "Beetle's in the stock room." "What's she doing?" "Sitting there, on the ground." "She's looking pretty rattled." "I just keep thinking." "If somebody I care about got hurt, if I could picture that." "How I'd feel." "That's good, Jesse, use it, try and get a confession." "You've got five minutes, if it doesn't work, we arrest her on the evidence we have." "Which isn't much, so give me your best shot." "I'll be right outside." "Oh sorry, I didn't know you were in here." "What are you doing?" "I just ran into my ex again." "From that night, I told you?" "She was with that guy, again." "The guitar player." "Sorry, I just..." "I need a second." "You can't stay here, you should go." "I just need a drink." "You wanna do a shot?" "To tell you the truth, you look like you could use one." "Sorry, it's not my business." "That guy with Khali, he's bad news." "I can tell." "I keep getting these pictures in my head." "If he ever hurt her..." "I'd go crazy." "You'd get mad." "Hell yeah." "How mad?" "Honestly?" "If he hurt her bad?" "The way I feel about her." "I don't see how I wouldn't lose control." "You wouldn't be able to think, or breathe." "Exactly." "It would take you over." "Sounds like you've been there before." "Yeah." "What makes you say that?" "Because I've been there before." "It's true." "I've done some bad things." "What happened, Beetle?" "Did you do something?" "My little sister." "A bunch of guys got her drunk and high and... they hurt her." "Yeah?" "How bad?" "They raped her." "Right here, right in this room." "And I wake up every day thinking, all I want is for those guys to be dead." "Alright here we go." "But you're not that big, though." "You don't have to be." "How would you do it?" "The thing about poison is, they don't know what's happening to them." "You don't get to tell them why you're killing them." "But this last guy," "I told him." "I said "You raped Sadie"" "And he begged and cried." "Who did?" "Who begged and cried?" "Did you do something?" "Where is he?" "I shouldn't have told you." "Beetle, where is he?" "Is he in there?" "Stay back, stay back!" "Put it down." "Take it easy." "John, get in there." "There's weapon in play." "Oh, God." "Khali, stay where you are." "I will shoot you." "I want him dead." "Put it down." "He stays in there until he's dead!" "Get back, stay right where you are!" "Khali!" "Khali!" "Beetle." "Beetle, You don't know me." "I'm a cop, Beetle." "So is Jesse." "We're undercover cops." "Khali, out of here, go, get out." "Are there more cops outside?" "Yes, yes there are." "Beetle, please just put down the gun." "If they come in here, I will shoot him." "I don't care, I will kill him." "You tell them that." " Okay, okay." " I don't care." "OK, I'll let them know." "Listen to me." "I know that your sister got hurt." "That those boys hurt her in the worst way, and that she took her life." "Are you trying to talk me down now or something?" "You kidding me?" "That's what I'm supposed to do, but I've never done this before, so..." "Shut up!" "OK, OK, alright, alright." "Alright." "John, it's escalating, are you close?" "Almost there." "Get out!" "Go!" "Just listen to me, okay?" "I came in here not because I'm a cop, but because I..." "I love him." "I'm in love with him and no one knows." "None of the people we work with, not even him." "So if you..." "if you hurt him," "I'll be exactly, where you are right now, with the person I love dead and gone." "And I'll be in all the pain you're in." "So I'm asking you, not because I'm a cop, but because I don't want to lose him." "I love him, please." "Please." "Please Beetle." "Police!" "Don't move!" "Where is he?" "Where is he?" "Call an ambulance." "Thought maybe you could use a drink after today." "Thanks." "At least we saved that boy's life, that's something, right?" "Cheers." "Cheers." "So Jesse and Khali, what's happening between those two?" "It was just Khali working the target." "Whatever it took." "Good." "'Cause relationships in the same unit, they never work." "No." "No." "You know, you saved my life today, I think." "That's right." "You owe me big time." "So..." "Did I mean everything that I said?" "Yeah." "Or was it just a way to talk down Beetle?" "You know that I like you." "You know... we gotta stop this, right?" "And we will."
