New Kid on the Block
Victor pursues a vicious pimp, Le Copain, through the Montreal underworld. Someone, probably Le Copain, beats crusading priest Father Laplante into a coma. But the cops investigating, Officers Drake and Leduc, suspect Victor because of his record. As Victor deals with Christina, from whom he's just moved out, and a group of Western and Quebec hog farmers protesting subsidies who just won't go away, he realizes he needs a picture of the pimp. But when Christina poses as a hooker to set up Le Copain for a photo, Marrone says the "pimp" Le Copain is a cop.
Episode 2 • Feb 14, 1991
Taking Care of Business
Victor discovers the cops White and Leduc meeting with Le Copain. It could be undercover...as long as Le Copain's really a cop. But Drabek, his conscience twigged, finds that Le Copain is a former cop. Victor has uncovered a racket. He also finds that a colleague, Alex Noble, took a bribe to suppress a story about a popular rock star's drug addiction. Victor snares the crooked reporter, but a risky tactic to trap Le Copain and the bent cops backfires. In a shootout at the church, the dirty cops set up and kill Le Copain, becoming "heroes" who save the priest and Victor.

Along the way, he messes up the Tribune's new publicity campaign and jeopardizes Christina's career by deflating a story pushed by her boss.

Meanwhile, Victor and Marrone organize a reunion of the group home. When the party turns ugly, Victor realizes his past is behind him.

Victor follows the "ice" trail to the source but things go awry when a group home buddy, Luc, turns out to be the main supplier.

Victor straightens out his personal life with Christina, who has been ready to cut off their relationship.
