We're all good!

You can trust me.

Okay.

Leave it.

Come on boys.

Supper time.

[Barney whistles]

Thanks.

Good day for it.

Yeah.

Some say.

You finished your route?

Yeah, just in time for dinner.

Feel like a beer later?

Sure.

Sure thing.

All right.

I uh-

[Barney sighs]

I was thinking of asking Max to join us as well.

Yeah maybe another night then.

All I want is for the four of us to be together again.

It's not going to happen, Barney.

Ahhh.

Yeah.

That's some good boys, huh?

Hmmm?

[Barney chuckles]

Let me get that off of you.

Come here.

Okay, let's have some dinner.

Come on in my beauties.

Let's go, let's go!

Sarah: Hikers spotted him this morning.

Dogs were with him.

Uniforms couldn't get close enough to get an ID.

His dogs are still protecting him.

They could've been here all night.

I'm not sure they'll let me get close enough to get my exam.

I've got an idea.

Come.

Sit.

Stay.

Rex with me.

[Rex sniffs]

The dogs are well trained.

They shouldn't give you any more problems.

What have you got pal?

Hold.

A wallet.

Good find, partner.

Barney Chafe.

Looks like his dogs dragged him-

from the water.

How long do you figure he's been dead for?

Rigor's set in.

He's cold.

I'd say at least eight hours.

A drowning, you think?

No froth in or around his mouth or nose.

I mean these contusions and lacerations

are consistent with blows

to the side of his head.

[Rex barks]

Is it him?

Is it Barney?

News travels fast in this town.

Max: His dogs are right there, Patti.

Steven: It's him.

That's what he was wearing when I saw him yesterday.

Charlie: I'm sorry folks.

I'm going to have to stop you there.

This is an active crime scene.

Patti: Crime scene?

Come with me please.

What happened?

Charlie: We don't know yet.

Are any of you family?

Uh- friends.

He doesn't have any family.

He lives alone with his dogs.

[Rex barks]

I'm Max.

Patti.

Steven.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

If you give the officer

your information-

as soon as we find out anything-

we'll let you know.

Excuse me.

Come on partner.

[ship horn blares]

Donovan: Jesse.

Hey!

Charlie and Sarah have a homicide in Tors Cove.

The victim's name is Barney Chafe.

Barney Chafe.

Okay.

37 years old.

Writer of historical nonfiction.

Looks like all of his books are for a small local press.

Right.

Charlie said that he has no family.

But he found a business card for an estate attorney-

in his pocket.

Too young to have a will drawn up.

Maybe he inherited something?

It's possible.

But I want you to look into his financial situation for me.

And I'm going to try to get in touch with the lawyer.

Yeah, sure thing.

Thanks.

Hey, boss.

Um-

No word yet on my detective exam?

You'll be the first to know.

Yeah.

Police.

Who are you?

I'm Rudy.

Barney's dog sitter.

Where's Barney?

There's been an incident.

I'm afraid Barney is dead.

Dead?

Mm-hmm.

Uh-

How?

Well that's what we're investigating.

Detective Hudson.

My partner, Rex.

Hi, Rex.

[Rex barks]

Uh-

Hey, where are Barney's dogs?

Are they all right?

They're all right.

They're outside.

When was the last time you saw Barney?

Um- would have been yesterday afternoon-

after I finished up.

He seemed fine.

And where were you last night?

Am I a suspect here, or- ?

I saw a movie in town.

Actually, I still have the-

[Rex growls]

Easy.

movie ticket-

um- if it helps.

Do you mind if I feed them?

They probably starving.

Yeah.

[Rex sniffing]

[Rex barks]

[Rex sniffing]

Well, that looks like blood.

[Rex barks]

Yeah, we'll get Sarah down here.

Good job, partner.

I'd love to be of assistance.

But my clients are a matter of confidentiality.

Ah.

Well this client-

is dead.

Barney's dead?

Oh, that's terrible!

Such a young man!

Yes, which is why I found it odd-

that he would have an estate lawyer.

[Ellen chuckles]

You know perfectly well, Superintendent-

that client privilege survives even the client himself.

Of course.

But generally speaking-

In general terms-

yes.

It is unusual for a young person to be so proactive-

in end-of-life planning.

Especially if they're childless.

But, I personally advise everyone to do it.

Of course.

I assume you've-

I'm good.

Good for you!

Well I wouldn't be speaking out of turn-

if I told you that Barney Chafe was eccentric.

I mean- who has three dogs?

So he was a real dog lover.

[Ellen exhales]

You don't know the half of it.

He left very particular instructions for them-

in the event of his death.

Sarah: Based on the ABO test-

this is likely Barney's blood.

I'd say we're looking at

cast-off spatter here.

And in the grass.

So Barney was killed here.

Seems likely.

Here can you just stand over here?

Yeah, right over here.

[Rex sniffing]

Based on Barney's lacerations and the spatter patterns-

I think our victim was facing his assailant.

Suggesting that Barney knew his attacker.

Right.

[Rex sniffing]

So he was struck on the left side of the head-

by the assailant's right.

Yeah.

And the first blow wouldn't have cast off blood.

But the second and third-

[Rex sniffing]

If he was down on the ground at that point-

[Rex barks]

What have you got?

Here.

Ah, what is that?

I don't know.

This edge was broken off something.

Looks like there's a bit of blood on it, too.

So Barney was killed here.

And someone moved him to the water.

The killer was trying to make it look like a drowning.

Oh.

[Rex barks]

Yeah.

[Rex barks]

The dogs must have been inside when it happened.

By the time they got out, it was too late.

[Rex barking]

[phone buzzing]

Hey Joe.

Charlie.

I just met with Barney's lawyer, Ellen Parker.

Apparently your victim was a millionaire.

Really?

Barney Chafe was rich?

Mm-hmm.

Wait.

I wonder what his friends thought of that.

♪ [dramatic percussion]

Sarah: His friends who were just on the beach?

Yeah.

Why would he rip up their picture?

They were pretty distant with each other-

when I spoke with them.

So a recent argument?

Something that drove them all apart?

Yeah or they could have been in shock from Barney's death.

A murder in a town as small as this

had to have shaken them up.

Rex stay here and watch them.

Rudy.

You spend much time here?

Yeah, every weekday, from ten to four.

I mean I love those dogs.

And honestly-

Barney was just happy-

for me to be hanging out with them.

Gave him more time to write.

So you must know

Barney's friends- Patti, Max, and Steve?

Yeah I know of them.

But honestly, they're not around much.

Do you know what happened between them?

Before my time.

Did Barney have any enemies?

Or any problems of any sort?

Not that I know of.

Look, sorry.

Barney kept to himself.

And he really loved those dogs.

They were everything to him.

Also do you mind if I bring them for a walk?

I want to keep them on their usual routine.

Yeah, go ahead.

Cool.

Hey.

[clicks tongue]

Come on!

Good job!

Come on.

Come on Kona!

Good girl, good girl.

Come on.

Detective.

Hudson, yeah.

It's Max, right?

Uh-huh.

Come on.

Any leads so far?

In cases like this-

it's usually only a matter of time-

before we catch the killer.

That right?

Where were you last night?

Home.

Made myself a sandwich.

Watched some TV.

Anyone with you?

Quiet night in.

Oh.

Well Barney really did keep this pretty modest.

Didn't he?

Yeah, he wasn't much of a spender.

He liked his life the way it was.

Mmm.

Any good story as to-

how he became so rich so fast?

Hydro company built a dam near here a while back.

They needed an access road put in.

So-

Barney let them put it through his property.

Did money change the friendship?

Not for my part.

You can tell it didn't change Barney.

Did anything happen between the four of you?

What do you mean?

[Max sighs]

Well I'm-

sensing there was a bit of a fall out.

[Max sighs]

Steven and Patti used to be a thing.

I didn't think it was that serious.

But it turns out that Steven was getting ready

to propose to Patti when-

well-

Patti and I had a couple of drinks one night.

And-

I see.

Steven won't forgive us.

Patti can't forgive him for not forgiving her.

She won't look at me.

Three of us have barely spoken since.

So what does this have to do with Barney?

He got tired of being in the middle.

And it broke up the friendship.

Hmm.

So where do I find Steven?

He lives right next door.

Red house.

You can't miss it.

How long have you and Barney been neighbours?

Our whole lives.

He was my best friend.

Until recently?

What do you mean?

Well, the four of you used to be really close.

Isn't that right?

Well Barney and I still were.

Wait, am I a suspect?

Where were you last night?

At home, alone.

I was reading a book.

[Charlie sighs]

That's not an alibi.

[Rex barks]

[Steven sighs]

Patti: Yes.

There was tension between the four of us.

But-

I'm sure that had nothing to do

with what happened with Barney.

And where were you last night?

I was here, working.

When I finished-

I took a little walk to clear my head.

Anyone see you?

No.

Barney was the only friend I had left.

I would never do anything to hurt him.

[Rex sniffs]

Barney was pretty upset-

that the three of you weren't friends anymore.

He hated it.

He wanted to get us all back together.

I guess now he did.

At least for the will reading tomorrow.

[seagulls crying]

[waves crashing]

[birds chirping]

I've known the dogs for a long time.

You think Barney might leave them to me?

Did he ever talk to you about that?

No, but he knows how much I love them.

Ellen: Hello everyone.

I'm Ellen Parker.

I'm Barney's lawyer.

Barney left some instructions-

in the event of this sad occasion.

I'm here to relay his wishes.

Hello my squabbling friends.

Well-

if you're watching this-

I suppose my time is up.

[Patti cries]

Barney: Now.

If my lawyer has done the simple job

that she has overcharged me for-

[Ellen chuckles]

then she has gathered

my most beloved

companions in this room.

Duff.

[Duff whines]

Kona.

[Kona whines]

Buster.

[Buster whines]

You gave me some of the greatest years of my life.

While the other three of you feuded-

these dogs showed me unconditional love.

And they taught me-

how to live in the moment.

[Barney chuckles]

They are truly man's best friend.

[Rex barks]

And so-

I leave my entire estate-

to Duff, Kona, and Buster.

[Barney laughs hysterically]

To the dogs?!

[Patti laughs]

That is so Barney.

Wait-what?

How can he do that?

[Barney continues laughing]

Okay settle down now.

Settle down now.

Yeah, you know I'm only fooling.

What do these dogs need money for?

What these dogs need now is a good home.

And so-

I'm giving each one of you-

a second chance.

I'm leaving my dogs to you.

Oh no.

Barney: Duff-

will go to Steven.

Kona to Patti.

And Max.

[Barney laughs]

You'll take Buster.

[Buster whines]

[Barney laughs]

[Buster whines]

These dogs-

are the greatest gift that I can give you.

If you learn to love them-

you'll find that they unlock the secrets to happiness.

And to wealth.

Steven: Is that-

gold?

Barney: I've hidden my fortune away.

Let those dogs be your guide.

If you bond with them-

they'll take you to what you need-

and show you true riches.

Good luck.

[Rex barks]

♪ [suspenseful music]

Hmmm.

Have you ever seen anything like this before?

That is a first.

What happens if they can't find the gold?

I've got to look into that.

It's what he wanted.

It's what he wanted?

Yeah as if you really cared

about what he wanted.

You wanted!

It was always about money with you.

I don't know why Barney would split them up.

They're a pack.

Well unfortunately I can't do anything about it.

[dog barks]

[dogs whine]

Yeah, I'm going home.

Which one is mine?

This is Duff.

So-

the deal is-

whoever bonds with their dog best-

just gets the gold?

Steven: When we love the dog-

we get it.

Patti: You're both idiots.

It's a treasure hunt.

Whoever finds it first, gets it.

Uh- here, Kona.

Come here doggie!

Kona come here!

Hello!

Can't even tell them apart.

Ugh- whatever.

♪ [upbeat music]

Okay so-

Barney Chafe closed his deal with Hydro 18 months ago.

It seems that as the interest rates started going up-

he withdrew a bulk of his millions in a cashier's check.

Why use it to buy gold?

Well the value of gold

is driven by confidence in the banking system.

When confidence in the system is shaken-

the value of gold increases.

Yeah but the question is-

what happens if none of his friends find it?

Well I don't even think the lawyer knows what happens.

She had to check precedents.

The money might not go to any of them.

Which makes it hard-

to find a clear financial motive for the murder.

I might be able to help with that.

It seems that our guy

that didn't have any faith in his banking-

had faith in his email security.

It's an interesting correspondence-

between he and Max.

Interesting how?

Jesse: Well he loaned Max seventy-five thousand dollars-

to open up a B&B in Tors Cove last year.

Two weeks ago-

he called it in.

Did Max respond to the email?

Jesse: Yeah, he wrote back-

expletive expletive expletive-

to which Barney replied-

Well you can repay it all now-

either in cash or the deed to your property.

That was two days ago.

So if Barney had lived-

Max would have gone out of business.

Yeah.

Rex.

Rex, let's go.

Thanks for coming in.

I know it's a bit of a drive.

Have a seat.

Is this going to take long?

I have no idea how long I can leave Buster alone for.

Mmm.

Did you have any idea what was in Barney's will?

No.

But I can't say it surprises me.

Patti's right.

It's very Barney.

Huh.

Were you surprised-

when Barney threatened to take back the loan he gave you-

for your property?

Who told you that?

Patti?

Patti?

No, she didn't mention it.

He wanted me to make payments.

We were just-

negotiating the amounts.

It was all friendly.

Didn't seem too friendly-

when he was threatening to take your property.

That's just how Barney got okay?

Sometimes he had a temper.

But leave him to sleep on it-

and he'd settle down.

We would've worked it out.

Now you don't have to.

Look.

The loan for my business was above board okay?

But nobody was more interested in Barney's money than Steven.

According to him-

that money was rightfully his.

Hey Duff!

Duff!

Buddy!

No.

This is not helpful!

Hey!

We talked about this man!

[fingers snap]

Down.

[Rex grunts]

He listens to you.

Maybe you can tell him to find the gold.

[Charlie chuckles]

I can't help you there.

Wow.

This is a beautiful place.

Yeah, it's been in my family for just over a century.

You know, this access road-

that the Hydro company put through Barney's land-

that could have just as easily gone through here.

You've been talking to Max.

Yes.

I suppose it could have.

Yeah, then you'd be the one with millions.

If I was going to kill him over it-

I would have done it before the deal went down.

When's the last time you saw Barney?

On the shore path-

the evening before he was found.

I walked him to his place.

Hey, if you need proof there were no hard feelings-

it's all on the tape.

Um- I was with Kona.

We were bonding.

It was actually very cute.

And then someone just-

hit me in the back of the head.

Did your attacker start the fire?

I was using the soldering iron.

I must have knocked it over in the attack.

And it probably started the fire.

And did Kona bark or anything-

to warn you about your assailant?

No!

I mean can you believe Barney got her as a guard dog?

Just under a year ago.

After the break-in in his house.

He already had Duff and Buster.

But they were hopeless-

and wanted to be friends with everyone.

And I guess Kona just ended up being the same.

Okay well Detective Hudson found this in your studio.

Does that belong to you?

No.

That's Barney's.

But how did it end up in your studio?

I took it from his house.

When?

When we were there for the will reading.

So you took the victim's property from a crime scene?

Well that's a little dramatic.

I was putting together a little video collage-

for Barney's memorial.

And the dogs were always wearing that thing.

And I figured that there was footage of dear Barney.

Did you look at the footage?

I haven't gotten around to it.

[dogs whine]

Hi Kona.

How'd you get here?

Let's take you back to Patti.

Jesse: Hey.

Sarah.

So Barney's dog cam was on earlier the night he was killed.

It corroborates what Steven told Charlie-

about meeting Barney for his walk.

But the footage ends before they get to the house.

Could it have been deleted?

Unfortunately there's no way of knowing.

I can't retrieve any deleted footage from this model.

Meanwhile, Barney's autopsy came back with a surprise.

He had a genetic heart condition-

called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

It meant he was at risk of sudden heart failure.

When was he diagnosed?

About six months ago.

Wait.

Isn't that when he made his will?

You know, Patti said that Barney adopted Kona-

as a guard dog after a break-in at his house.

That was about a year ago.

Around the time he emptied his bank accounts.

But in a town with only half a dozen break-ins a year.

This model is 126 cm long and weighs 456 g-

Okay so you think she brokered the gold purchase?

Pull the FINTRAC report for the gold purchase.

See if there's any broker listed.

And then I want you to check Ellen Parker's activities-

the night of the murder.

See if she paid Tors Cove a visit.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm on it.

Rudy wasn't on it-

at all.

That was perfectly legal.

Was it legal for you to tell someone-

that he was in possession

of over two million dollars worth of gold?

That would be unethical.

Because Barney could have told any number of people.

You've been searching for the gold.

You were outside Barney's house with a metal detector.

And he caught you.

No!

He threatened to fire you-

turn you in to the police.

I told you, I was in St. John's!

You were caught.

You panicked.

No!

You hit him with the metal detector.

That's not true!

Rudy.

I know you weren't at the movies that night.

You weren't on the CCTV.

It's- it's-

That doesn't mean I killed him!

Ellen Parker tell you about the gold?

No!

I found out about it through the will like everyone else.

And even after Barney was dead-

you had to keep looking for it.

You went after Patti.

You took Kona.

She led you down here.

That's why you're here right now.

[phone buzzing]

Hudson.

Got it, thanks.

And your lawyer friend just gave you up.

It's over Rudy.

[Rudy grunts]

[Rex snarling]

Ughh!

Stay down Rudy.

[knife ringing]

Yagghh!

Ughh!

[Rex barking]

Drop it.

[Rex barking]

[cuffs ratcheting]

Good job partner.

[indistinct police radio]

Patti: It was Rudy?

Steven: The dogsitter?

Charlie: Can't argue with the evidence.

Max: Barney trusted him.

How could Rudy do that to him?

Why did he bring the dogs here?

They led him here.

The dogs always came here if they got to lead the walk.

You think it was Barney that taught them to do that?

Because it was our place.

You think he hid the treasure by our old hangout?

Barney said that-

you bond with the dogs-

they'll give you what you need.

They'll lead you to true riches.

I think I have an idea what he wanted for you.

[Charlie whistles]

Friendship.

[dogs barking]

Patti: Good girl.

Hey!

What do you have?

Max: Move this, move this.

Patti: Oh my God!

Max [laughing]: Ohhhh!

[Rex barks]

Patti: Kona!

Good!

[men grunting]

Steven [laughing]: All right!

Sorry.

Hey.

You two are meant for each other.

Don't wait until it's too late okay?

Come here.

Ready?

Yeah.

[Steven exhales]

Patti: What?

Rocks?

Where's the gold?

[dogs whine]

What is this?

[Rex barks]

Well done!

[Barney laughs]

If you're watching this-

that means you three idiots

have finally managed to do something together.

[Patti chuckles]

I hope you're not mad.

But I-

I gave the gold to a dog rescue organization.

[Rex barks]

They needed it.

And what you need is friendship.

Friendship is the real treasure.

And if you haven't figured that out by now-

there ain't no amount of money in the world

that's going to help you.

I'm leaving this estate and my property to the three of you.

Please keep the dogs together.

A pack doesn't like to be broken up.

You're a good girl!

That's true.

[Rex whines]

Hey Charlie.

Did you get your confession?

I didn't even get the cuffs on-

before he started pinning it on the lawyer.

Ellen Parker under arrest?

Yeah, well she's already throwing Rudy under the bus.

Refuses to admit that she was the one-

who set the whole thing in motion.

I guess the jury will figure it out.

They found the gold?

Something like that.

But Barney did get what he wanted in the end.

Wow!

That's quite a feat to pull off, after death.

Yeah.

So speaking of getting what you want-

[whispering] Hey!

Here you go!

Go on!

Give it to Jesse!

Yeah.

Good boy.

What- what is this?

What- did I- did I pass?

Did I fail?

No I passed?

Check it out!

[Jesse gasps]

[they laugh]

Ladies and gentlemen-

allow me to introduce SJPD's newest detective-

Jesse Mills!

[applause]

[Jesse laughs]

[Rex barking]

No kidding!

[Jesse laughs]

Congratulations Jesse.

You deserve this.

[Jesse sighs]

Sarah: Hey wait a second!

So what does this mean?

Are you leaving Major Crimes?

I actually haven't thought that far ahead.

[Rex groans]

Well I'm going to put a call in to the commanding chief-

and suggest that Jesse stay on as the head-

of our Electronic Crimes Division.

Sarah: Whoah!

Fancy title, Mills!

Do I get an expense account?

No.

Clothing allowance?

No. Jesse: Do I get to-

keep any of the tech we seize?

Definitely not.

A modest raise?

Yes.

Sold!

[Jesse laughs]

Thanks buddy!

[Rex barks]

I know, look at this!

[they laugh]

Yes!

Woohoo!

Congratulations.
