When the fifth estate got exclusive access to the convoy taking three Canadian elephants overland to the PAWS sanctuary in California, it was bound to be an incredible journey filled with tension, drama, and unpredictability.

Crack cocaine. Alcohol. Friends who have criminal backgrounds. Just over a year ago Toronto Mayor Rob Ford stood next to Police Chief Bill Blair promising to fight gang crime.

The fifth estate unravels the story of the man who has become the world's most controversial mayor.

  

Episode 10 - Silence of the Labs

With massive cuts by Ottawa to everything from food inspections to water quality and climate change, and the dismissal of more than 2,000 federal scientists and researchers, some scientists have become unlikely radicals - denouncing what they call a politically-driven war on knowledge. In Silence of the Labs, Linden MacIntyre tells their story - and what is at stake for Canadians from Nova Scotia to the B.C. Pacific Coast and the far Arctic Circle.

  

Episode 11 - The Man Who Hears Voices

As Ottawa prepares to toughen laws that allow people who commit violent acts - even murder - to be found "not criminally responsible" due to mental illness, fifth estate host Bob McKeown interviews Jeff Arenberg who speaks out for the first time since he killed a popular Ottawa sportscaster - and never went to jail for the death.

  

Episode 16 - Return to Paradise

When two Canadian sisters turned up dead in a Thailand hotel in 2012, local authorities suggested everything from drugs to food poisoning. But an updated investigation by the fifth estate points to new evidence that a highly toxic pesticide used in holiday hotels in Asia to control bedbugs may have caused their deaths. Mark Kelly reports on the risk to tourists.

  

Episode 17 - Dead Enough

It's a question you would think medical science would have answered long ago - when are you dead? But in "Dead Enough" the fifth estate explores how the standards for when and how people are declared dead can vary from province to province, and even from hospital to hospital. Bob McKeown looks at how in the rush to meet the needs for life-saving organ transplants, some doctors are worried that we may be pushing ethical boundaries.
