Hey, Dale.
Good morning, Hazel.
How we doing?
I'm great. There you go,
extra bacon today, okay?
Great.
Here you go.
Thanks so much.
Hey, you know, I hate to
bother you with this,
but there's more of those
cross-country ski tracks.
They go right
through my property.
Well, winter's almost over.
I know that,
but can you stop...
Yeah, yeah, I will. Okay.
Thank you.
Mmm.
What?
I need to talk to you.
Can't you see I'm eating?
Hang on.
Okay, I'll wait
for you inside.
Okay.
Ah.
Here. So what's up?
Could you take that, please?
Bob Chandler has
been trying to reach
his mother all morning.
She's not answering.
And?
Well, he's getting
back this afternoon.
Jolene stopped by
and knocked on
the door, no answer.
So, he's hoping
that you'll pass by,
make sure that Delia's okay.
And why can't you do it?
Because my shift
ended while you were
eating your breakfast.
Oh, right.
Let me take care
of that for you.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah, just top it up?
The cell phone.
Oh.
No, it's fine.
It's been sitting in that
box for three months.
It's comfortable there.
Uh-huh.
Get some sleep.
Oh, will you stop by
Ernie's on the way?
There was a call
about some sort of
fracas over there.
A "frah-cas"?
That's what I said,
"fray-cas."
"Frah-cas."
I think it's...
Try Delia again.
Okay.
Delia, it's Hazel.
Delia?
Yeah, I'm at Delia's.
Get over here
as fast as you can,
and call Spere. Yeah.
You got here fast.
This is wild.
Yeah.
You knew her?
Yeah. All my life.
She went to my mom's church.
I've never seen
anything like this.
What can you tell?
Well, it looks like
a knife to the neck.
Yeah.
But I'll have to
bring her to the city
and get a full report
from the coroner.
It could take a couple of weeks.
I can't wait two weeks.
Do me a favor,
take her to the church first.
I'll meet you there
and you can see what
you figure out
and then take her
to Mayfair Grace
for the autopsy.
I can't do that. Protocol.
I know what the protocols are.
I guess so. Sure.
She's your friend.
Thanks.
I appreciate it.
Tommy,
if you're gonna puke,
don't do it here.
No, I'm okay.
You sure?
Maybe I better
go outside and wait
for Bob to get here.
Yeah, I think
that's a good idea.
Yeah.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
You okay?
Yeah.
Uh, what about cars?
Were there any cars around
that you didn't recognize?
Oh, yeah, there were cars.
I mean,
that you didn't know,
that you hadn't seen before?
Yesterday,
parked over there,
there was one.
A dark one.
Black?
Like, dark gray.
Gray. Okay.
And did you
see the driver?
No.
How about the make?
Maybe Ronny will remember.
He knows cars.
anything would you have
him call me?
Yeah.
She's getting big.
Oh, God.
I'll... I'll get this.
I'll take him in the back.
Oh, thanks.
I've been trying
for months to get
her into hospice care.
I knew this day was coming
and I just never
figured it was going
to be like this.
So, did she have
any family heirlooms
or expensive jewelry
or anything in the house?
You think someone
was trying to rob her?
I don't know.
Was she expecting anyone,
I mean, besides you?
No.
Can I see her?
Not... Not yet. Let's...
In a bit.
So, as you can see,
this cut is surgical.
Through the windpipe
and esophagus
on the first cut.
And the second
deepens all the way
down to the spinal cord.
Was he trying to get a trophy?
Well, another cut
and it was his,
so, I'd say no.
What happened to the finger?
You can see the swelling.
That's definitely before.
So she did fight back.
It would be the only sign.
Didn't see anything else.
Her face looked
like she was screaming
when she died.
faces frozen in terror.
Mostly the dead look drunk.
This was clearly manipulated.
You have to wait until
rigor mortis sets in,
about three hours.
And then,
you have to hold
the mouth and tongue
in that position
until the muscle sets.
For how long?
I'd say another hour.
He was standing
over her with his
fingers in her mouth.
When I was a taxidermist
this tabby cat, and I...
We're not equipped for this,
and you are in
no shape to be
chasing anyone.
That leaves me.
This is something
I can't handle on my own.
What, are you
complaining about this
before we even give it a try?
We need to get
Mason to assign
a homicide detective.
We are detectives.
This is our town.
Don't let your personal
sh*t cloud your judgment.
We can do this.
What are you talking about?
Your words.
I don't understand what
you're talking about.
Your words.
I don't understand.
All I have to say is
I'm gonna do this
with or without you.
So if I have to,
I'll do it alone.
F*** you, Hazel.
Thanks. I knew
you'd get onboard.
What?
I don't think
you get this good
on the first try.
Over here.
Move back.
Give her some space.
Oh, that was fast.
Who told you?
Trudy Davis.
Everybody's over at the church.
Why aren't you there?
'Cause I wanted to be here
when you got home.
Well, I'm home, so you can go.
You know,
it would mean a lot
to everybody if...
Oh, please,
do not start with your
Sundays of sunshine sh*t.
You can knock it all you want,
but when you
were in the hospital
they were there for you.
I didn't ask them
to be there for me.
It was my back,
and they made it
into some kind of
community tragedy.
It wasn't just your back.
You were about to have a baby.
Well, that was a long time ago.
And I can count on one hand
the number of times
All right, look, I will
go to the funeral. Okay?
What do you want to eat?
Nothing. I'm going out.
With who?
With Andy.
Will his wife be there?
Oh, I hope so.
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
I was starving.
I went ahead.
I got you a drink.
Thanks.
What's going on?
You okay?
It's this back.
I gotta have
an operation for the,
you know, disk thing.
Again?
What about the shots?
They're not working.
One doctor says it's autoimmune.
The other one
says it was the
original operation.
I don't know.
When do they want
you to have it?
Six months ago.
Oh, Hazel.
I mean,
your stubbornness
is gonna kill you.
There's worse ways to go.
Listen, there's a great
rehabilitation facility.
It's in North Bay.
Are you crazy?
I'm not leaving my house.
Your mom can't carry you.
I'd like to see her try.
Maybe I can help some.
I could come over maybe
once or twice a day.
What would your wife say?
My wife?
My wife would say
that you're having surgery
to get me under your roof again.
She's a riot.
Here you go, Hazel.
You two seem to be in sync.
You jealous?
You gotta go.
No, I should go.
I should go, Hazel.
I'll...
I'll get you next time.
Wait. I mean,
while I have you here,
I just thought
maybe you could
help me with this.
This a**hole cop
got me on the way
back from hockey.
Sure.
