Show detail Hide detail

DA VINCI'S INQUEST is a one hour dramatic production combining three genres: the police procedural, the medical thriller and the courtroom drama. The show centers around the cases dealt with by the Vancouver Coroner's Office and its senior coroner Dominic Da Vinci. In this episode Da Vinci and Shannon discover an elderly man, with no family, is found dead in his apartment. At a bar after shift Shannon notices the lottery numbers being announced on the TV are the same as he saw on the fridge of the dead man. Shannon and Da Vinci return to the man's apartment to confirm the winning ticket, and consider what the $2 Million would mean to their lives. During their moments of clouded judgment the pair take the ticket, and the next day decide they don't want to simply return the ticket to the government. A relative comes forward after seeing the obituary. Both Shannon and Da Vinci feel the man, a real estate agent, is undeserving as he is only concerned with what his uncle might have left behind for him. Shannon and Da Vinci approach the old man's dead friend with a proposition to get him half of the money. The pair encourages the friend to say that the dead man and himself bought the ticket together. They notify the nephew and the two are going to split the winnings under the condition that the nephew pays for a grand funeral. Leary is undercover investigating illegal poker ring. He plays an excellent game, and gets closer and closer to the main player. He spends the evening and the next day drinking with the poker organizer until he eventually reveals that he killed his wife. Leary engages him to help him plan the murder of his own fictitious wife to solicit more details about his crime. Eventually Leary arrests the man at the end of their drinking binge. <46mn 8s>
