Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 6 Episode 4

For twenty years, Farris Dunlap has been threatened by Wendell Quinn, who believes Dunlap killed his brother, Roger. Dunlap denies even knowing the Quinn brothers. The latest round of threats started when Quinn was released from prison, he being there for manslaughter. This threat includes the mailing of a severed finger to Dunlap. On the flip side, Quinn states that Roger was a police informant who witnessed some wrong-doing by Dunlap. Just as Roger was supposed to testify, Wendell received the severed finger, which he knows belongs to his brother due to a scar. Roger's body was never found. Shannon and Williams speak to Clayton Hurley, the cop who led that case twenty years ago. After speaking to all involved, Shannon and Williams have a strong impression of who actually killed Roger Quinn. Da Vinci wants to hold an inquest into Darcy Charles' death. Because the autopsy came back as inconclusive, Da Vinci needs some material witnesses or some evidence of complaint by Charles herself. She never filed a police complaint but luckily did with lawyer, Phil Rosen. In reality, he wants to use this case as leverage both for pushing the issue of the safe injection site, and to bolster his run for the Chief of Police position. Kosmo and Leary set up the the beginnings of the sting on Curtis. They ask Sue to re-instigate her friendship with him so that she can monitor his movements. She does so as well as provides direct information and evidence of drug dealing by Curtis and Rick Prentice. They also decide to get to Councillor Pierce through Da Vinci. And Da Vinci investigates the death of a man found hanging within in the overhead stove exhaust of a restaurant kitchen.
