Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 6 Episode 12

Sue stumbles into Rick Prentice's apartment and finds him dead. Totally freaked, she runs out, but the next day informs the authorities. During the investigation, Homicide – which includes Kosmo, Leary, Shannon and Williams – freeze Curtis out, who tries to get in on the premise that Rick was his informant. In reality, the Homicide detectives all know in their hearts that Curtis killed Rick. With Rick's murder, Councilor Pierce finally decides to talk to Homicide about being blackmailed by Curtis, and admittedly asking Curtis if he could make Rick just "go away". Kosmo and Leary ask Pierce if he is willing to assist in wearing a wire in his next meeting with Curtis. Curtis finally gets his in in the investigation when he catches up with Sue. He admits to her that he can and will make either her or Pierce take the fall for Rick's death. As such, a scared Sue agrees to cooperate with Curtis. Elsewhere, Da Vinci investigates a series of drug overdose deaths. It looks like there's some bad dope out on the street. He needs to find the supplier and get the dope off the street. The Mayor, having found some more money, gets closer to helping Da Vinci open the safe injection site. And Willa Edwards finds another witness for Da Vinci in the Darcy Charles beating, albeit a witness with a self-admitted bad history of his own.
