- During the renovation of the police station, the body of a long-missing constable is discovered in the foundation which leads Murdoch to investigate that station's veterans' past and the gay community of that time.
- Detective Murdoch finds himself investigating his fellow policemen when a skeleton is found under concrete while Station 4 is undergoing renovation. Dr. Grace determines that the victim was an adult male with the cause of death most likely a blow to the temple. The concrete floor had been poured in 1881 and records indicate that Chief Constable Giles was the detective at Station House 4 at that time. Others who worked there include retired Chief Constable Stockton who was the station's inspector and Brackenreid, who was a uniformed officer. Murdoch and Crabtree soon determine that the victim was Constable Finch who last worked at the station house on the same day the concrete was poured. A broken glass photographic negative that was buried with the victim is the vital clue that leads them to the murderer.—garykmcd
- A contractor lays bare a skull-smashed adult male skeleton under the precinct's old floor. Crabtree's records search allows Murdoch to conclude the victim is constable Finch, missing since the day the floor was poured, wrongly presumed having found a better-paid job and simply left. All who worked there are thus suspects, including then constable Brackenreid, so Chief Constable Giles, then the precinct detective, hands the case exclusively to Murdoch, who comes up with a crafty photographic ID method. Crabtree and he are shocked to find a crucial photo negative was stolen by one of the interviewed suspects and find it was probably something to do with 'telegraph boys', male street prostitutes who were extorted protection money or beaten by cops, or in concealed cases paid in kind. At the price of his own illegal secret in a bizarre gentlemen's agreement, Murdoch gets a false confession.—KGF Vissers
