The Calling Page #2

---

Okay, thanks.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

We don't open for

a couple of minutes,

but come on in.

It's cold.

Hmm.

Have a seat

wherever you like.

Coffee's brewing.

Some hot water, if you have it.

That one of those green teas?

It's damiana,

natural tonic.

Oh.

Get a lot of truckers

this time of the morning,

but you don't

look like a trucker.

I'm not.

Well, cook should be

here any minute if you

want to see a menu.

Just berries, if you have.

Yeah.

Sorry, it comes with melon.

Are you a doctor?

I specialize

in methods

that conventional

medicine ignores.

What kind of methods?

Many diseases

can manifest through

our environment.

What we eat, how we live,

and just as we may

create our illness,

our bodies can be healed.

And that works on, uh...

On sick people?

If they are pure

of heart and mind, yes.

My daughter Rose is...

She's sick.

They call them seizures,

but it's like

she falls over dead.

They think it's a brain tumor.

How old is she?

She's 12.

And straightway the

damsel arose and walked,

for she was of the age of 12.

And they were

overcome with wonder.

Mark 5:
42.

Excuse me.

Pretty good month.

What are they

talking about in there?

Um, something

about an Oldsmobile.

I'm just gonna

leave those here.

Yeah, okay.

So are you liking

it here so far?

Uh, yeah, it's great.

You know, if you need any

help finding an apartment,

I know lots of places.

I'm good. Thank you.

Okay.

Stop flirting

and get him in here.

She...

So I found

three late '80s Olds

in the system.

One's on cinder blocks,

the other two are

accounted for.

So that means the one

Jolene saw...

Didn't come from here.

Right.

Uh, this is Ben Wingate.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Wingate.

And where did they find you?

Toronto.

52 Division.

You transferred

from Toronto to here?

Yes, ma'am.

Whose wife did you screw?

Uh...

It... It was my choice.

Why?

I thought it was nice.

It's not nice.

No, it's not nice at all.

But it is interesting,

isn't it, that he shows up,

when we have our first

murder in four years?

Is that that?

No, I didn't set that ring.

And how do you answer it?

Just press that button.

There. Yeah.

Stop. Shut up.

How do you do that?

The bottom one.

Oh, sh*t. I broke it.

Give me that.

I will fix this.

Dismissed.

My mother

lived her whole life

in this town.

She was one of

the original members

of Civitan Zone 5.

Every year, and I can remember,

she would put on her best dress,

go out and sell

Claxton cakes at Christmas.

She once told me that

if I speak at her funeral,

to make sure everyone

here remember her

how she was before the sick.

The Delia Chandler

who had great gams and

could kick over her head.

And who loved her family

and her community.

Oh, God,

here she comes.

Andrew.

Hey.

Glynnis.

Hey, Hazel.

I know you call him Andy.

I'm just trying

to be respectful.

Well, I call him Andrew.

You can call him

whatever the hell

you want,

but if you want

to be respectful,

stop parking your car

outside our house.

Excuse me,

but some people

have jobs.

My job happens to be to take

care of this community.

What is your job?

Because, at the bar...

Why don't you go down the way?

Why don't you go

there for a while?

I feel bad for Andy.

I really, I want him

to be happy, I just...

Hey. We got a dead

body out in Chamberlain.

What does he see in her anyway?

I mean, really.

What did you say?

Dead body

out in Chamberlain.

Potential homicide.

Well, that's not us.

Well, Mason wants us to go

out there, so it is now.

He called you and not me?

Body in there?

Yeah.

Victim's name?

Michael Ullman.

The horse trainer

found him this morning.

She had the week off.

Okay. I'd like

to talk to her.

Oh, I don't know where

she is. I told her that

she could leave, I...

All right, relax.

Do you know

where she lives?

Do you have her phone number?

Okay, I'd like you to call her,

ask her if she's seen

an old make Oldsmobile,

gray, maybe between '85, '89.

You can do that now.

Yeah.

Good.

Go.

Whoa.

What is it?

No stomach.

What do you mean

there's no stomach?

It's been removed.

Hazel?

What is it?

I think I found his stomach.

Two murders in three days,

couple of 100 clicks apart.

Something's in the air.

Full moon?

You think he's

smart enough to know

our jurisdiction lines?

You think this is

connected to Delia?

Well, it's...

A gruesome crime scene.

No forced entry.

I don't think so.

I mean,

the victims couldn't

be more different.

An old lady in town.

Rich guy on a farm.

What's the connection?

His face looked pretty

weird, didn't it? Hmm?

Mmm-hmm.

It could have

been manipulated

but it wasn't so obvious.

Would it show up in the autopsy?

Not if he was

wearing gloves.

Thank you.

You guys?

All right.

Don't put your drink

on my photo album.

You're gonna get a mark on it.

Hmm.

I haven't looked

at these in a long time.

Oh, look at

those false eyelashes.

Remember those?

Yeah, they were ridiculous.

Remember at your wedding

when you started laughing

and you laughed

so hard you cried

and your eyelashes

slid down your cheek?

I'm not the one that

started the laughing,

you did.

No, I didn't.

I did... No.

I was laughing

because you were laughing.

You... Once you started

I had to join in.

You have such

an infectious laugh.

You have a terrible memory.

I don't have a terrible memory.

That's exactly what happened.

I miss that laugh.

Okay. Well,

enjoy your corpses.

Thank you.

I was just calling

to see if there'd been

any recent murders

in your jurisdiction.

Uh, sure, I can hold.

Who is that?

Hamilton Police Department.

They're not sure

they've had any murders?

Yeah, I'm still here.

Got your requisition

for more manpower.

Didn't I send somebody to you?

Yes, but we still only

have two detectives,

me and Ray.

Well, that should be

enough to solve one murder.

Two.

We think this is

the work of a...

Oh, good God.

No, please.

Serial killer.

Serial killer, huh?

Do you know what we

call two murders here?

The morning shift.

You should do stand-up.

Oh, wait a second.

This is your way

of convincing me

to give you the permanent

Commanding Officer job,

with a suicide

attempt on your record.

You lost your chance

when they had to pump

painkillers out of

your belly in the ER.

I'm telling you

about two murders.

Do you think I give

a sh*t what my title is?

You would have been forced

into retirement without me,

so watch your mouth.

All right, Hazel,

you want my attention,

you got it.

What do you have?

Look.

You see how her mouth

was manipulated?

We think his was too.

And there was

no forced entry

in either case,

and Ullman's body

was just a few miles over

the jurisdictional line.

And?

Well, so he's

spreading his targets

far enough apart

and he's changing

the profile of the victims

so that we don't connect them.

Serial killers

leave calling cards.

They want the world to

know what they're doing.
