- Quotes
Constable Benton Fraser: [studying a bleached patch of sidewalk] This concrete is white.
Det. Ray Vecchio: Well, that's the colour we like to use for sidewalks in America.
Constable Benton Fraser: You know, the Inuit have sixty words to describe snow, Ray. One-third of them concern the colour.
Det. Ray Vecchio: Eskimos don't have a lot to do in the winter, huh?

A Hawk and a Handsaw
When Benton saves a man on the ledge in a psychiatric hospital.
He promises the man that he would look for someone called Ty. Benton and Ray go looking for Ty and find out that he died five years earlier. He committed suicide.
The man in the psychiatric hospital was Ty's brother Walter. He never got over his brother's death.
When Benton and Ray return to the hospital, Benton notices that someone has recently jumped to their death. This might have triggered Walter's memories.
Benton poses as a patient at the psychiatric hospital. He uncovers some unethical research on a drug with unfortunate side effects. It has led to some users to suicidal thoughts.
Benton and Ray both find themselves in a padded room as they know too much.
This could had been a much better episode if it was not for so many plot holes.
No one at the hospital seems to recognise Benton and Ray as the guys who helped Walter from the ledge a few days earlier.
How were the staff at the hospital ever going to explain the deaths of a Mountie and a detective?
When Benton and Ray break out of the padded room. They break into a computer to uncover the research on the drug but for some reason they do not ring the cops.
