- A charred dead body is found outside the wreckage of a burning car, the body which was bound before the fire. The car is registered to Phil Wilkins, a pool hustler. After uncovering some evidence, Shannon and Leary learn that the body is that of Wilkins, who lived life high but had no money. But the nature of the fire indicates that the perpetrator would have also suffered significant burns. Shannon and Leary suspect either one of his pool colleagues who he stiffed or Bobby, the manager of Wilkins' local pool hall as Wilkins was having a clandestine affair with Bobby's wife, Jessica. Part of Jessica's story may provide answers as to the death, and whether Shannon and Leary have to divulge the affair to Bobby. Da Vinci investigates the death of a young teen-aged woman, who was found dead inside a shipping truck. Someone was shipping her across the border from Portland to Vancouver, but a delay in transport caused the oxygen supply she was carrying to run out. The trunk's addressee, Darryl Morris, states that he was not expecting a shipment. Later, a second identical trunk addressed to Darryl Morris is found in the bonding warehouse, this time with a dead young teen-aged boy. Da Vinci decides the only way to find out who was actually expecting the trunks is to make the delivery of the now empty trunks and see who picks them up. But it's a discovery by Patricia that provides the strongest clues as to the identities of the two deceased and who was supposed to get them out of the trunks. Back at the coroner's office, Morris Steadman, still grieving over the death of his daughter, asks to review all Da Vinci's files as he still thinks her death was homicide. On some personal fronts, Sunny's car is keyed, with Leary thinking he knows the culprit. And Da Vinci starts what may be a relationship based on a chance encounter out of circumstance.—Huggo
