Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 4 Episode 9

A basement suite fire claims the lives of two, Daniel Dupont and his infant son Peter, the house which was owned by Daniel's father who is distraught over the incident. Da Vinci and the fire investigator are about to rule the fire accidental, until Daniel's father offers some information about threatening shoplifters at Daniel's collector LP business and until the investigators find some cigarette butts outside the basement suite's window. Rose Williams, who helped Da Vinci with some robbery information, tries to use this case as a stepping stone into Homicide. Kosmo, in her continuing investigation of Alex Mills, wants to dig up a newly poured concrete floor in one of his abandoned houses, Kosmo thinking that Alex's wife, Sarah, is buried underneath. Some new evidence prematurely stops the excavation at the house, but not before Chick finds a body, however not that of Sarah. Despite finding the body, Kosmo can no longer hold Mills, but convinces Kurtz to allow her to conduct an undercover surveillance operation on Mills. Kosmo is somewhat surprised at Kurtz's choice of the undercover operator. At the archaeological dig site, Sunny discovers more bodies in shipping crates and a separate body with a bullet wound to the head. Chick surmises that the separate body was someone of Chinese descent. The Chinese community becomes involved, wanting to ensure the bodies get a proper burial. On a personal front, Leary and Sunny's relationship seems to be on the skids.
