Seasons & Episodes
Episode Overview
Patricia, Sunny, and Kosmo's new assignments are progressing. Patricia gets an office at the university. Sonny learns of another skeleton found at the archaeological dig site. Kosmo gains the trust of the some of the girls and johns in her investigation of the missing prostitutes, thinking that they might assist in noticing unusual behavior during the course of their transactions. Kosmo also befriends a young prostitute named Sue, who is thus far pretty open about her dangerous life. Meanwhile, Da Vinci investigates two separate deaths. The first is of an elderly woman named Ariana Welles, who is found in a public park washroom after hours. Park maintenance was letting her sleep in the washroom at night, the door to which she barricaded from the inside. This fact seems odd since rumors are that she has enough money not to have to live on the street. Da Vinci later learns that she did have money, but had decided to live on the street for reasons of independence from her daughter. Back at the scene, a pair of scissors was found under her body, the scissors indicating that whoever may have killed her might have sustained injuries him/herself. Also at the scene, a young man named Dave seems oddly interested in the situation despite not knowing Ariana. In canvassing the neighborhood, Leary and Shannon learn about a hooker who took refuge at a local shelter the evening of the death, the hooker who looked to have been injured. This information leads back to Dave, who ultimately tells the story of Ariana's death. The other death Da Vinci is investigating is that of Jack Finnigan, who died of a heart attack in the back of limousine. One of Finnigan's business clients, Felix Reynard, thinks Finnigan was murdered because Finnigan allegedly swindled his clients, including Reynard. In the course of the investigation, a problem occurs when someone steals the limousine with Finnigan's body still in the back. Da Vinci eventually learns who stole the car and the body–a thief who was literally out for his pound of flesh.
