Motive - S02E01 - Raw Deal (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-05-21) The killer: Ian, a photographer, who just got engaged to his girlfriend, who he had been dating for three years, their relationship which began following the suicide death of her former boyfriend, the biological father of her now six year old son. The victim: Kevin Carpenter, a former art school student, who had just returned to Vancouver following a three year traveling stint in India, Nepal and Thailand. His dead body is found in his motel room bathtub, his wrists slashed. Despite there being a suicide note on the scene - "I never had the courage until now" - which is later identified as being in his handwriting, Betty is able to determine that he was not the one to inflict the fatal wounds. Items on the scene also indicate that he was Buddhist. With no cell phone, Kevin made three calls from his motel room telephone - to his sister Shelly Carpenter who seemingly is the person closest to him, to a convenience store, and to directory assistance, in which he was looking for a Robin Keaton. Shelly is able to shed little light on the situation, while neither Robin Keaton for which he was provided numbers knew Kevin, one with who he didn't even get in contact. The reason for Kevin wanting to find a Robin Keaton, and what happened in the time-line of Kevin's expulsion from art school to his departure on his three year trip two days later provide the biggest clues to finding the killer. This case ends up being the first in the department for new team leader, Sergeant Mark Cross, a former undercover cop who replaces the now promoted Superintendent Bloom. Angie has problems with Cross' appointment because she believes someone else should have gotten the job, as well as the fact that she and Cross have a ten year history of an undisclosed nature. Angie refuses to let Cross' presence push her out from the department.

Motive - S02E02 - They Made Me a Criminal (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-05-28) The killer: Sophia Balfour, a dance studio owner/instructor. The victim: Dustin McEvers, a low level blue collar criminal, who according to Chris Renway, his professional and personal partner, purportedly was trying to go straight following the birth of their still infant offspring. Chris, however, admits that Dustin still did "collection" on his drug dealing business, a collection which is where he went when she last saw him. Dustin's death, on the surface, looks to be a simple case of self defense by Sophia's husband, Miles Balfour, after Miles, who was alone at home at the time, reported that Dustin broke in in what was probably an attempted robbery, as Dustin was armed, the gun in his hand which could not have been placed there post-mortem. Miles' self-defense argument starts to fall apart upon further examination of Dustin's fatal wound. Miles protecting Sophia as the actual killer starts to come to light based on a previous non-trust issue between husband and wife, and discovery of an old bruise on Sophia's shoulder. Elsewhere, Angie secretly confesses to Oscar her and Cross' past personal involvement gone bad after Oscar witnesses a needless antagonistic professional encounter between the two.

Motive - S02E03 - Overboard (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-06-04) The killer: Damian Cutter. The victim: Alicia Barclay. Her dead body is found washed up on the beach one morning. Although Betty is able to determine that Alicia did die from drowning, Betty also believes that Alicia was unconscious when she entered the water based on her sustaining two head wounds which were made with a combined sharp and blunt object, not consistent with something like a sail boom. The Homicide detectives discover that Alicia, who was still wearing a cocktail dress, was on a yacht party the previous night, that party which she organized with Meredith Taylor, the two being the wives of Peter Barclay and Kurt Taylor respectively, the two men who had just purchased the multimillion dollar yacht and who are business partners in a lucrative online gaming venture. Whoever the killer, the detectives believe that Alicia never made it off the yacht from the party conscious. They discover an interesting web of one-on-one relationships between the four of Alicia, Peter, Meredith and Kurt, which implicates each of the three still alive as Alicia's possible killer at various times during the investigation. They will have to dig deeper into Peter, Kurt and Meredith's past and to discover the nature of alibis of the three, specifically concerning a Cal Higgs, who worked the party for the catering company, to find the real killer and his motive. Meanwhile, Angie is bothered by what she learns is the active rumor mill concerning herself and Cross' past. Angie decides at least to tell Betty the primary reason why she and Cross ultimately broke up.

Motive - S02E04 - Deception (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-06-11) The killer: Diane Torrance, a construction site flagger. The victim: Dr. Stan Matthews, a senior coroner, and Betty's mentor. As such, news of his death hits her particularly hard. His dead body was discovered on an upper level of a downtown parking lot, he having died from several abdominal wounds made by what looks to be an ice pick. He, at the time, was testifying as an expert at a child death case, in which the four-year-old victim seems to have been shot accidentally at a meth house party by drug dealer Brad Hitchens. Betty is taking over as the expert for that case. Despite the surveillance video from the parking lot not showing any direct tie to any individual as the murderer, the Homicide detectives are able to ascertain that a car speeding out of the parking lot at the time belonged to Daniel Hitchens, Brad Hitchens' disgruntled brother, who had had run-ins with Stan before. But Angie is also able to determine from the surveillance footage that the killing was premeditated. Other evidence they find at the parking lot leads them to a construction site for information for the killer. But it isn't until Betty digs deeper into the evidence for the trial and Stan's own past in relation to that trial that they may have a motive.

Motive - S02E05 - Dead End (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-06-18) The victim: eighteen year old high school senior Emily Williams, who was a boarder at Queen's Cross Academy, the private school she attended at Lions Bay. The killer: fellow Queen's Cross student, sixteen year old Janine Boxton, the younger sister of Emily's ex-boyfriend, Aidan Boxton, the Boxton family who were before that like a second family to Emily in the absence of her own family, with Janine trying to emulate Emily as much as possible down to her copper colored dyed hair. Aidan was the person who reported Emily's dead body found at the bottom of a bluff. Aidan, who had not talked to Emily in a few weeks, received a call from her to meet her there, "their place". Although there was indication Emily fell off the bluff, Betty is able to determine that Emily died of severe blunt force trauma to the back of the head consistent with being hit by someone with a large rock. In speaking to Emily's friends including Aidan, the detectives learn that there were rumors that Emily was having a sexual relationship with one of their teachers, married Warren Bould, which led to Emily's change in attitude approximately four to six weeks ago. That change included her breaking up with Aidan and deciding not to attend Pacific Technical with Aidan the following year despite getting a full scholarship. The detectives eventually do learn from the autopsy the probable cause for Emily's change - that she was pregnant - identification of the father which may provide the detectives with the strongest lead at least to a motive. Meanwhile, two potential office relationships seem to be brewing, one between Cross and prosecutor Samantha Turner, and the other between Officer Sung and married Lucas.

Motive - S02E06 - Bad Blonde (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-06-25) The killer: Heather Williamson, who, with Gordon White, are the founders and principles of Offensive, an up and coming web communications company. Gordon dotes on Heather, which does not sit well with his wife, Kim White. The victim: Jake Daly, Heather's nightclub bartender boyfriend. At the beginning of the investigation, Angie, Oscar and Brian have no body, but a lot of blood splattered in a public place, the splatter marks consistent with a vicious stabbing. But the eventual discovery of a MedicAlert bracelet points them to Jake as the probable victim, still with no body. Angie and Oscar do interview Heather in the course of their investigation, nothing seemingly out of the ordinary arising from that interview. Meanwhile, Gordon is helping Heather try to dispose of the body without Kim finding out what he's doing. If the detectives are to discover the killer and motive, they will have to learn about the nature of Heather and Jake's past romantic relationships, and the nature of Heather and Gordon's long term friendship. An act of self-preservation by Heather may ultimately be trumped by her narcissism, especially with regard to Gordon.

Motive - S02E07 - Pitfall (High MP4) (WEBM) (Aired: 2014-07-09) The killer: Stuart Fletcher, a paramedic. The victim: Graeme Jenkins, who died in a skydiving accident when his parachute did not open as the cords were cut on both chutes. After the autopsy, Betty determines that Jenkins would have soon died anyway as he was in the later stages of terminal lung cancer, leading to the initial possible belief that he committed suicide. Graeme's wife, Ingrid Jenkins, is able to confirm Graeme was going through an ordered bucket list, skydiving only the most recent activity, but as his life insurance policy did cover his death by cancer that there was no reason why he would have wanted to end his life prematurely via suicide. A chance statement by Graeme prior to the jump about his lucky number leads to a series of clues as to at least a visual identification of the possible killer, who seems to be using the assumed name of John Turner. Connecting John to Stuart is a little more difficult as is figuring out motive. If they are able to make a connection, they will find a first responder who is suffering from PTSD specifically regarding a misdiagnosis leading to an unwanted outcome. Meanwhile, Betty, Angie and Oscar notice what's happening between Brian and Officer Sung. And Angie provides Oscar with the official story of what happened between her and Cross ten years ago, this process which does not sit well with Cross.

Motive - S02E08 - Angels with Dirty Faces (High MP4) (WEBM) (Aired: 2014-07-16) The victim: James Dent. The killer: Peter Ward, the home care nurse for Olivia Dent, James' seriously ill mother who has an auto-immune kidney disease. James was found nearly dead after he made a 911 call of being assaulted. It looked to be a BDSM session gone wrong, the actual issue almost killing him being auto-erotic asphyxiation. He is declared brain dead, but is kept on life support at the hospital. Angie and Oscar learn from Olivia that she and James have been estranged for some months, initiated by him. Olivia admits that she and James' now deceased father spoiled James growing up, and now as a young man she wanted him to make it on his own. She provided him with a business, a rehearsal space, on which he could earn a living. However, James still seemed to want more from her due to her wealth and the sense of entitlement he learned growing up. Olivia knew little of his current life beyond believing that he was squandering away his life and money while using the rehearsal space more as a clubhouse in which to hang out with his friends. They also learn from James' friends that he may have been the victim of identity theft, with new credit cards and a drivers license being requested, the credit cards not being issued because of his large outstanding balances. And voice recognition proves that the 911 call was not made by James himself. Beyond the evidence, a situation at the hospital points to Peter as the perpetrator. However, Angie and Oscar have to figure out why Peter, when given the opportunity, did not kill James outright before he made the 911 call, if the motive was purely to inherit Olivia's estate instead of James. Meanwhile, Brian, who has been trying to speak to his wife Mary, from who he is separated, turns to Officer Sung for support. And the professional issue between Angie and Mark that occurred ten years ago may soon come to a head.

Motive - S02E09 - Abandoned (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-07-23) The victim: Barb Birk, the owner of her own diner. The killer: Sasha King, a resident and worker at a women's shelter, and one of Barb's many disgruntled ex-employees. Who is eventually identified as Barb is found burnt to death inside her diner kitchen in what was an early morning fire on a day the diner was closed. The initial primary suspect as the person who started the fire, and thus the killer, is Barb's son, Jason Birk, who used to be a short order cook in the diner, and whose lighter was used to start the fire. He admits the lighter is his, but states that anyone who worked in the diner knew where he left it. He has been out of jail for three weeks, his ten month sentence for assault for beating up Ross Simpson, another of Barb's disgruntled ex-employees who often parked his food truck outside the diner. Jason, who is surprised to learn that he is the insurance beneficiary, admits that he and his mother had a love/hate relationship. They were somewhat estranged based largely on Jason's initiative to get out from under Barb's control, but he also admits that he still loved her as she did everything for him as best as she knew how. Jason and Sasha were beginning a relationship just before he committed the assault. Beyond the physical evidence, Angie and Oscar will have to find out what happened during those ten months while Jason was in prison, which relates to Barb's Wednesday and Friday lunch hour mystery trips over the past month, to discover the motive. Meanwhile, Angie is in a quandary about whether to agree to Samantha's request to testify as a character witness for Mark at a trial. If she does, the truth behind her and Mark's professional life ten years ago may come to light, that information which has the potential to ruin both her and Mark's careers.

Motive - S02E10 - Nobody Lives Forever (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-07-30) The victim: John Rivera, the well liked and respected chair of the Green Point Equestrian Centre, and the primary shareholder's son-in-law. The killer: Isabelle Flores, the Salvadoran nanny to Becky, the daughter of new Green Point member, the controlling divorcée Victoria Hill. John is found in the stables trampled to death by his own horse, Esperanza. But what Brian finds on site points to John's death being murder, namely his wife Jennifer's car filled with cinder blocks, rope and the trunk lined with plastic. Jennifer has an alibi for the time of John's death. Betty's autopsy confirms that John was also drugged by a high dose of ketamine, which would have killed him otherwise. As Brian delves more into John's goings-on over the past few days, Angie and Oscar come to a theory if John was indeed the intended target, or... With no information about John older than one year, they will have to uncover who John was before those records of him start to find a relationship to someone within his current circle and the possible motive. Meanwhile, Oscar has Angie's back with regard to an issue not associated with the case. And Samantha continues to pressure Angie into testifying as Mark's character witness, Angie who does give her answer. Stars: Kristin Lehman, Louis Ferreira, Brendan Penny Director(s): Jeremiah S.

Motive - S02E11 - A Bullet for Joey (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-08-13) The killer: Bryce Kovack, who, along with his brothers Brent Kovack and Donnie Kovack, own and operate their own garage. Theirs is an extremely tight-knit family, they who still live together in the family home, with their only other sibling, younger sister Erin Kovack, having just returned home from dental hygiene school - she being the only member of the family ever to go onto higher learning - Brent and Donnie unaware on Bryce's request to help deal with the current family problem. The victim: Joey Dunkamp, a real estate agent, generally of high end properties. Joey is found shot dead in his car, although it is determined that he was not shot in the car, the detectives later finding that the primary crime scene was his trendy new office. Beyond the one gunshot that killed Joey that was fired at close range, Betty also finds two bruises that look to be made by shots from blanks also fired at close range. They also learn from Joey's boss and his "for pay" companion the evening he was killed that Joey was the type of person who gave and enjoyed favors to get what he wanted, personally and professionally, and that what he wanted professionally often bordered on being scams. Evidence eventually leads the detectives to Donnie Kovack. But they will have to uncover the Kovack family dynamic to get the whole story. Meanwhile, Samantha Turner tries to get Mark to convince Angie to testify on his behalf, something he is unwilling to do. However, Angie still unwillingly gets involved in the case through another means.

Motive - S02E12 - Kiss of Death (High MP4) (WEBM) (Aired: 2014-08-20) The victim: successful crime novelist Lori Oliver, who dies after collapsing while making a presentation at a writers' conference. The killer: Dustin Hess, a creative writing professor at Langara College, he who chides anyone who reads and likes Lori's books, people such as his student, Doug Butcher, one of Lori's many über-fans. Betty quickly assesses that Lori was poisoned, and after receiving the toxicology report learns that she was poisoned by a toxin that is not used for anything - and thus needs to be manufactured for this specific purpose - and that even the smallest dose is highly lethal. According to those around Lori - her husband Gary Oliver, her manager Craig Davis and her personal assistant Parker Wexler - Lori had many fans, but she also received many death threats, often mirroring the nature of her stories. Each of the three is a suspect, but Craig in particular, due to emerging circumstances, is particularly cooperative with Angie and Oscar. When they discover the probable delivery method of the poison, the detectives try to piece it together with Lori's recent hate mail. Meanwhile, Dustin, on any signs that the detectives are heading his way, tries to head them off in another direction. The detectives will have to look into Lori's past work to find that connection to Dustin and the motive. With the League of Nations case, the defense's subpoena list grows, which places Angie and Mark between a rock and a hard place. And without telling anyone of his personal situation, Brian receives some unsolicited advice from someone who's been there.

Motive - S02E13 - For You I Die (High MP4) (Aired: 2014-08-27) The killer: undercover police officer Doug Slater. The victim: Samantha Turner, Sergeant Cross' current girlfriend and the prosecuting attorney in the upcoming League of Nations trial in which Mark is the star witness as the undercover cop who infiltrated the gang. Slater was also present at the scene ten years ago as a first responder in the Alfonso Dyer shooting, the truth of the shooting which has haunted Mark and Angie all these years. Samantha is found strangled to death in her apartment, with the signature League of Nations "burnt tongue" signature present. Because of Mark and Samantha's connection, Bloom immediately removes him from the case, despite he being passionate about being involved in finding who killed his girlfriend. However, Angie and Oscar cannot rule him out as a suspect, despite the League signature to the death. The detectives do question the key League of Nations players: incarcerated Virgil Maddox, the gang head who despite his incarceration would still be able to order a hit; and Grace Dinard, Maddox's girlfriend, who has come to visit him in prison every day leading up to Samantha's murder. Another theory they have is that the murder was a show of force by someone who plans to take over the League in Maddox's absence. But information from Virgil and Grace, the fact that Samantha's telephone has been hacked after her death, as well as another high profile murder lead to Mark as the murderer. However, Angie comes up with another plausible theory that the murders were committed by someone who had an inside track of certain other items associated with the League and the Dyer cases. Through it all, Angie and Mark contemplate coming clean about their ten year secret.
