It's further this way.

[distant police chatter]

Ah, you smell the
bees, don't you?

I'm not that comfortable
around them either.

Hey.

How goes it?

Good.

But we couldn't begin
processing the scene-

until the bees went inside
their hives for the night.

Do we have an ID
for the victim?

Nancy Lake.

Apparently one of the top
beekeepers on the island.

This is her apiary.

Who found her?

Carley Wannamaker.

She's in the victim's
house, waiting for you-

to interview her.

Okay, good.

What was the
cause of death?

Well, the autopsy
will reveal all.

But she's just a
mass of bee stings.

[Rex growls]

The suit didn't
protect her?

- No.

Surprisingly.

These bees attacked
relentlessly.

So the suit couldn't offer
that much protection.

[Rex whines]

She might have

an underlying
condition as well.

Okay well-

[Sarah sighs]

right now-

all I see is a
tragic accident.

Why am I here?

- Because-

we found this-

pinned to her body.

Sarah: So,
tell me Carley.

How did you
come to find her?

We were supposed to get
together this evening-

to discuss the upcoming
Beekeepers Association meeting.

- You were-

both members?

Yeah, Nancy is the-

was the president.

[Rex whines]

When she
didn't show up-

I tried calling her.

But she didn't answer.

Was that unlike her?

She always had
her phone on her.

When she didn't answer-

I decided to come here
to see what was up.

What made you
look in the apiary?

- If she wasn't here
in the house-

then she was always
out there with her bees.

I saw the note.

It's horrible.

Who would leave
something like that?

I don't know- yet.

But do you
have any idea-

who might have
wanted to hurt her?

- There is one person.

Hazel Lee.

She's the vice president
of the association.

And there was trouble
between them?

Nancy accused Hazel of
appropriating association funds.

It got ugly.

I see.

[dramatic music]

He's alerting to something.

[Rex sniffing]

[Rex sniffing]

[Rex barks]

Excuse me.

[Rex barks]

Found something?

[Rex whines]

Bananas?

[Rex barks]

I know you're usually right
about these things Rex, but-

I'm wondering
if those bees

haven't gotten you
all screwed up.

Ingrid: I don't think
he's screwed up at all.

In fact, I think Rex might
be on to something.

You mean the bananas?

Correct.

I was curious-

about a stain on
Nancy's bee suit.

Oh yeah, it
seems fresh.

- Exactly.

So we did
an analysis.

Turns out-

it's banana oil.

Banana oil?

Like you'd find at
a health food store?

Yeah.

Huh.

[Rex barks]

[they chuckle]

You know, it's just-

it's kind of creepy the way
he comes up with things.

No kidding.

When bees sting, they
emit a pheromone-

signaling that
there's danger.

Yeah, I've read
about this.

The other bees
sense the pheromone.

And they
rush to help.

They swarm the enemy.

Yeah.

The pheromones'
chemical makeup

is very similar
to banana oil.

Wait, so the banana
oil on Nancy's suit

could have triggered
the attack.

- Right.

The question is-

did it get on her
suit accidentally?

Or did someone
put it there?

We'll keep looking.

They're looking
for fingerprints-

paper type and source-

the printer used-

Anything that might help
identify whoever sent it.

What do we make of
the wording in the note-

The queen is dead?

I think the killer is just
making a very clear statement.

The queen of local
beekeeping, Nancy-

is dead.

Donovan: I'm not convinced-

it's that simple.

Ah.

What have you
got, Jesse?

Jesse: I'm just waiting-

on a warrant for
Nancy's phone-

email, text messages.

Once that comes in,
I'll jump right on it.

What about
the banana oil?

Jesse: I'm
running a list-

of shops that
sell banana oil.

But apparently
it's pretty trendy.

And it could
take a while.

Also, there's a good chance
it was purchased online.

Okay.

What else
have we got?

Sarah: Carley mentioned-

that Nancy was never
without her phone.

We combed her home and
apiary, but couldn't find it.

Hmm.

Any obvious suspects?

Dug into Nancy's
personal life.

She was divorced about
a year and a half ago.

But there wasn't really
much trouble there.

Carley also said

that Nancy and the Beekeepers
Association's vice president-

Hazel Lee,
didn't get along.

Money management issues.

Jesse: That fits-

with what I found.

It turns out
that Hazel

was convicted of defrauding
a charity she worked for-

six years ago.

She was sentenced
to community service.

Okay so Nancy's beef with
her could have been merited.

[watch chimes]

I'm going to
pay Hazel a visit.

Okay, let's do it.

Sarah: Rex, let's go.

[suspenseful music]

Woman: This one here is
one of my personal favourites.

It's from Sam's Apiary.

The wax is locally-

So it helps support
local bee farmers!

It fits you.

Yeah.

Hi there!

Welcome!

That particular honey
is very flavourful.

[Rex whines]

Hints of coltsfoot,
dandelions-

and fireweed.

Sounds delicious.

Oh, it is.

From my personal apiary.

Amazing.

I'm actually here-

to see you, Hazel.

And you are?

Sarah Truong, SJPD.

This is my
partner, Rex.

- You must be here-

about Nancy.

I suppose you know she
and I had our moments.

It was just a misunderstanding
that blew up.

Hmmm.

Was your previous conviction
also a misunderstanding?

No.

Which is why I was
so angry at Nancy.

I worked very hard to put
that mistake behind me.

And she brought
it all up again.

Thank God an
audit cleared me.

I'm aware.

But you were angry.

I could have
lost everything.

But if you think
I killed her-

you're crazy.

Where were
you last night?

Having a
quiet night in.

- Is there anyone-

who can corroborate that?

Unfortunately not.

Can you think of anyone who
might have wanted to harm Nancy?

Her ex-husband,
Leo Bogner.

They had some serious
disagreements in the past.

Over marital issues?

- God, no.

Over bees.

[Rex whines]

Excuse me.

♪
[percussive music]

♪
[pop music playing quietly]

I have to say I'm a bit
surprised, Mr. Bogner.

I thought you were a
beekeeper, not a brewmaster.

I still am.

I have hundreds
of hives-

in over two dozen apiaries
around the island.

That's a sizable operation.

- It's bigger than most.

And the truth is-

I consider myself an industrial
beekeeper at this point.

A huge part of my business
is renting out hives-

to cranberry farmers needing
to pollinate their plants.

And the brewery?

I use the surplus
honey to make mead.

The demand is so high,
I can barely keep up.

But I don't think you're here
to talk about business.

No, I'm looking into the
death of your ex-wife.

I was devastated to hear
about what happened to Nancy.

And-

it sounds like

there's a rumour
going around

that it might not
have been an accident.

I just want to come
right out front and say-

I had nothing to
do with her death.

The two of you
argued in the past?

We did.

But it was often
about the same thing.

It eventually cost
us our marriage.

- I understand that-

you fought about bees.

I just got tired-

of getting by selling honey
and beeswax candles-

at farmers' markets.

Okay, so there were no
ill feelings towards her?

None!

Where were you
last night?

Where I always am.

Here, working.

It's an around-the-clock
business this time of year.

- We'll want
to confirm that-

with employees who
were here with you.

- In the meanwhile-

do you have
any idea-

who might have
wanted to harm Nancy?

Yeah.

Garrett Bruce.

[Rex whines]

He's an urban apiarist.

Why would he be
angry with Nancy?

Nancy and Garrett
were lovers.

Were?

- That's right.

And from
what I hear-

he didn't handle the
breakup very well.

So I understand
that you and Nancy

were involved until recently.

How did you
two meet?

We met when she helped
me set up this colony.

[Rex sniffing]

Yeah, Nancy was just
out of her marriage.

We made each other
happy for a while.

But you broke up?

- We did.

Yeah.

You know, I, uh-

I don't know what
happened, you know?

I think maybe she
just, um- outgrew me.

Like a queen bee
moving on from a drone.

- Uh-huh.

How did
you take it?

Uh, not well.

But, you have to
understand, right?

Nancy had been
everything to me.

Okay.

I know how
this looks.

But I'd have
never hurt her.

[Rex barks]

[Rex groans]

I don't think
Rex likes bees.

I think probably what he
doesn't like is the, uh-

the smell of death.

My colonies collapsed
a couple of weeks ago.

The bees
are all dead.

[Rex whines]

Oh, what happened?

Who knows?

You see, that's
why I needed Nancy.

She could work
magic with bees.

Okay, Garrett, where
were you last night?

I camped down
near Cape Spear.

Yeah, just-

watching the stars.

By yourself?

It's the only way to
really be one with nature.

[Sarah sighs]

Forensics ran tests on
some fresh pollen stains-

they found on
Nancy's bee suit-

likely embedded when
she fell to the ground.

And-?

Well most of it came
from common plants but-

Here.

This part
caught my eye.

Some were from
red pines.

Red pines?

Those are pretty
rare on the island.

Exactly.

So they sent some techs
back to Nancy's apiary.

Wait, let me guess.

No red pines.

Right.

Which suggests
Nancy's body was moved.

So if she wasn't killed
in her own apiary-

Then where
did she die?

Guys.

Hey.

Something just arrived that
you're going to want to see.

Donovan: The
queen is dead.

Long live the queen.

[suspenseful music]

Forensics just
finished with the letter.

No fingerprints, only
smudges, no DNA either.

And the same paper
and printer were used-

to create the notes.

But both are
very common.

So no leads there.

What about the pollen
on Nancy's bee suit-

from the red pines?

Sarah: Turns out-

red pines can only be found
in 22 areas across the island.

Mostly in the interior.

I've been coordinating with
the Ministry of Agriculture-

about apiaries located
near red pine stands-

to narrow down where
Nancy was killed.

But we're looking at dozens,
maybe even hundreds.

Yeah, it seems
like a long shot.

We'll keep trying.

What about suspects?

Well, Leo Bogner

doesn't have so much as
a couple of traffic tickets.

If he and Nancy

had a falling out-

SJPD never became involved.

There's also-

Hazel Lee.

She's been keeping her nose
clean ever since her arrest.

And Garrett Bruce seemed
to really love Nancy, but-

I don't know.

I did get a bit of
a weird vibe off him.

Jesse: I think your
instincts are right on that.

[computer beeps]

SJPD investigated a
couple of complaints

from two ex-partners
of Garrett Bruce-

claiming that
he harassed them.

Let's keep looking
into this guy.

Yeah.

There's something I want
to bounce off you guys.

Rex.

[elevator pings]

Donovan: I've got

a crazy idea-

about the killer's notes.

We like crazy.

Yeah but it's usually
coming from us-

and not from you.

Okay, look.

Here's my idea.

What if we think of the
Bee Association as a hive?

A hive?

That's crazy.

No, hear me out.

They're both a collective
of like-minded individuals-

working towards
a common good.

Sarah: Okay.

Say we accept that.

Then what?

See, a queen rarely dies
of natural causes in a hive.

What happens is
the worker bees

recognize that she's
in her final days.

So they begin to
prepare a new queen.

And when she's
ready to take over-

the old queen
is killed.

Are you saying that

someone killed Nancy-

to take over the Bee-
keepers Association?

If we're talking
about succession-

Hazel Lee takes
over temporarily.

But there will soon
be a full election.

Any member can run.

So what we need
is a list of names-

to find out who has
apiaries near red pines.

Okay.

Where's all this
bee knowledge from?

Well, I've been giving
some thought to retirement-

and what I might
do afterwards.

And I love honey.

Sarah: Rex does too.

Hmm!

[Rex whines]

Sarah: I can't even
sweeten my coffee -

without him
wanting a bit.

Yeah.

And it's also something that's
really good for the environment.

Jesse: There is
another perk.

You're this investigation's
personal hive mind.

Rex, let's go.

[Donovan sighs]

So far, there are
six candidates running.

We'll need to see
a list of them.

Hazel: Of course.

Are you thinking-

the election has something
to do with Nancy's death?

Well it's just an
avenue we're exploring.

Hazel: Here you go.

And yes, my name
is on the slate.

I guess that
makes me

even more of a
suspect in your eyes.

So you decided
to run after all.

Why?

I want the association
to remain committed-

to supporting
businesses like mine.

We've outgrown the
granola and sandals crowd.

Sarah: Outgrown how?

♪
[dramatic percussion]

Hazel: Don't
get me wrong.

Preservation is important.

But it's not the
whole picture.

If we don't grow
and evolve-

then everything falls apart-

preservation initiatives included.

[Rex sniffing]

Jesse: Any of these
other candidates

have hives in Central
Newfoundland?

Most, I would think.

The plant life is
different out there.

It gives the honey
a unique taste.

Sarah: Really?

So do you have
hives out there?

Yes.

Between Clarenville-

and Gander.

Had Nancy been
there recently?

No.

She and I managed

to remain civil
to one another.

But that's about
as far as it went.

What's gotten into him?

Rex picks up on scents

at crime scenes.

What's in these packages?

soaps and incense.

[Rex whines]

Do you mind opening
that for us, please?

Sure.

Here we go.

These are

a collection
of essential oils.

Any banana
oil in there?

Yes, there is.

Hazel having banana oil

could just be
a coincidence.

But I think we both feel the
same way about coincidences.

Yeah.

Jesse: Nancy had a
great setup here.

I get why Joe finds
this so appealing.

Sarah: Come on, Rex.

So you're tending

Carley: Someone has to.

Otherwise they'd perish.

They're a domesticated

So, how can
I help you?

Do you have red pines
near your apiary?

I think there are some near the
one I have out in Terra Nova.

Had um-

Had Nancy been

No.

Why do you ask?

We were just trying
to track her movements.

Sarah: We also wanted to ask
about the upcoming election.

You're running for president?

Carley: I am.

Yeah, it's something I've
been thinking about doing-

for some time.

Jesse: I thought
you were-

happy with how Nancy
was running things?

I was, largely.

But-

lately I've had concerns

that the association's
becoming too commercial.

How so?

People think it's cool
to have a couple of hives-

and to shop in trendy
stores like Hazel's.

But bee populations
are being decimated.

And something radical
needs to be done.

And I think
that's where

the association's energies
should be focussed.

And Nancy
wasn't supportive?

She was,
to a point.

But Nancy wanted us all
to be one big happy family.

And I'm not sure
that's possible anymore.

Was Nancy aware you
were feeling this way?

No, I was going
to tell her about it-

when we met on the
night that she died.

Sarah: Well you
obviously feel

quite passionate about it.

No need to
sugar-coat it.

You're wondering if I would
have done something to Nancy?

The answer is no.

Why should we
believe you?

Because I wanted
her support.

We would have
made a great team.

Now I'll just have
to do it on my own.

Jesse: Okay.

Thanks.

So this is interesting.

It turns out
Carley Wannamaker

was part of an
environmental action group-

that was charged with
threatening to blow up

a pipeline in
BC four years ago.

Okay.

So she's not above taking
extreme action for a cause.

Nope.

She's not.

And she says it's
all for the bees.

But I have to believe
there's self-interest-

because there's
always self-interest.

I don't know.

Am I just being cynical
about being cynical?

No.

No, I get it.

But, you know-

to be a cop you need the
right amount of cynicism.

Yeah, I suppose.

[Sarah chuckles]

Yeah, a little light in the
world would never hurt.

That's why it's good
to have a Rex around.

[Rex murmurs]

[phone chimes]

The search warrant for
Nancy's internet came through.

My IT guys are
working on it-

right now.

Did they find something?

- There's someone
they think

we should talk to.

Sarah: So, Garrett.

Did you ever send
Nancy emails?

Garrett: I did.

But you know that,
don't you?

Yeah, we've accessed them.

Some of your exchanges
are quite angry.

I wish I'd never
sent those.

Okay, but everything
in my life

was going wrong
at the same time.

I mean-

Nancy had
just dumped me.

My bees were dead.

I was just-

really upset.

You sent an
email to Nancy-

begging her
to come see you.

Did she?

Yes.

I tried re-starting
the colony.

Bought new bees,
but they didn't take.

I wanted Nancy to come and help,
and she agreed to come over.

What happened?

[Garrett sighs]

She started going
through my hives.

[bees buzzing]

I asked her what
went wrong.

What I could do.

What can I do to
make this better?

But I wasn't really
talking about the bees.

Come on, Nancy, please!

Just tell me
I can fix it!

I was talking
about us.

And then she walked off
without saying a word.

When was this?

The day before
she died.

Did Nancy tell you
where she was going?

[Garrett exhales]

No.

That was the last
I saw of her.

[Jesse sighs]

What do you think?

Do you believe him?

I think he really
was in love with her.

- Well, I mean-

a lot of men claim
to love their partners.

And then we all
know what happens.

[Rex whines]

I know, I'm being
cynical again.

I know.

My question is-

what did Nancy
see in that hive?

And what did it have
to do with her death?

We need to get a warrant
and look in Garrett's hives.

Yeah.

I just heard
from the police-

in Mexico.

What did they
have to say?

Well, they confirmed that
Charlie took a bus south-

to a town called
Chetumal.

It's on the border
with Belize.

Wait, Jack had bought
two tickets to Belize.

Right, apparently Jack
is travelling with a woman.

A woman?

Did they say-

who she was?

Donovan: No.

Where's Charlie going next?

Donovan: It seems
he crossed the border-

and went to a town
called Orange Walk City.

Jesse: That's in-

central Belize?

Donovan: Yeah.

So, what now?

Well, I'm going
to have to try

to get in touch with
the Belizean police

and see if they can
pick up Charlie's trail.

Okay.

I mean, this
is good news.

It sounds like Charlie's

Leo Bogner was just

Wait, tell me

He stumbled into a
robbery at his brewery.

And they stole honey?

600 gallons
stored in drums.

That's a lot
of money.

Did security cams
give us anything?

No, apparently they've been
down for the last few days.

So was the robbery
related to Nancy's murder?

Well, there's
no concrete link.

But we have to
consider the possibility.

Okay, speaking of Nancy-

I managed to get a hold
of her cell information

and tracked her pings.

The night before
her murder-

she made several stops
in and around downtown-

and then returned home.

Now, I don't know
exactly where she went.

But they were all within the
vicinity of Garrett's apiary.

Hmm.

That's consistent
with his story.

Did we get a warrant
to check his hives yet?

No, we're still waiting.

So where did Nancy go
the day of her death?

She drove west
towards the interior-

eventually went
off the highway.

And that's where all
cell service cut out.

And that supports
the theory-

that she was killed
somewhere out there.

Yeah and then they transferred
her body and her car-

back to her apiary.

So, Carley Wannamaker
and Hazel Lee

both have apiaries
out that way.

That makes two of our
suspects who own hives-

where Nancy
was likely killed.

Is there anybody else?

Yeah, Leo Bogner.

Other than the throbbing
headache, I'm fine.

Well that, and I'm out

But I'm alive,
thanks to you two.

Yeah, one of
the rocks-

he paints
folk art on.

Bee nice.

Perfect.

Anything else disturbed?

Well Rex has been
alerting to this hive here.

I think it might be the
one that Nancy examined.

I've been waiting for
you to get here, so-

we can take a look.

Let's see what
we've got.

[Rex whines]

Let me pull one of
these frames-

and see what
we've got inside.

We need to call the
Ministry of Agriculture.

[Rex barks]

Now.

♪
[dramatic music]

Jesse: So the Ministry of
Agriculture confirmed

this lovely
creature here

is a Varroa mite.

Apparently Garrett's hives
were just rife with them.

And that means-?

Donovan: Varroa mites-

are tiny predators
that prey on bees.

They are so deadly-

that they are wiping
out bee populations-

right across
North America.

So that must be what caused
Garrett's colony to die off.

Donovan: See
the thing is-

because Newfoundland
is an island-

it's one of the only places
that Varroa mites don't exist.

And there are very strict
regulations in place-

to keep it
that way.

How'd they end
up in Garrett's hive?

Donovan: Well-

that's a good question.

Nancy must have
spotted them-

when was over there.

The Ministry also found
another interesting thing-

in Garrett's hive.

One of the bee
corpses was marked.

A dead queen
with two red dots-

painted on her thorax.

Why would
someone do that?

I mean, some beekeepers
paint their queens-

so that they can spot them
separately from the worker bees.

But I've never seen a
two-dot system before.

Maybe it was some
sort of message.

Donovan: Maybe.

But I know one
thing for sure.

We've reached the limits
of this hive mind.

[suspenseful music]

Hazel: Hello, detectives.

Carley and I
were just talking-

about the future
of the association.

First Nancy, now Garrett.

Yeah, it's a nightmare.

Sarah: In fact-

that's why we're here.

This is Superintendent
Joe Donovan.

Joe, this is
Hazel Lee-

and Carley Wannamaker.

Is this about Garrett?

Sarah: In part.

But let's start with your
whereabouts last night.

Hazel: Worked late.

And then went
straight home.

I spent the night
at a friend's house.

I can give you
his number-

if you want.

Hazel: You said

this was partly
about Garrett.

Donovan: Yeah, we've
inspected his hives-

and discovered that they're
infested with Varroa mites.

What?

That's got to
be a mistake.

Donovan: Unfortunately not.

We contacted the ministry.

And they're
incinerating his hives.

They've also
sent out an alert-

to all beekeepers.

Hopefully-

we can eliminate
them all.

What we really
wanted to ask about

was a queen we found
in Garrett's hive.

It was painted
with two red dots.

A lot of people around
here pick a colour

so they can tell what
queen belongs to them.

Donovan: Right.

But why two dots?

Well, sometimes-

very rarely-

there could be two
active queens in a hive.

To tell them apart-

you paint a single
dot on one-

and a second
on the other.

Any idea who paints
their queens red?

Red was Nancy's colour.

The red colour suggests
the queen was Nancy's.

Yeah, well I'm sure
she would have given one

to Garrett to help him
restart his colony.

But it would mean that she
had Varroa mites in her colony.

That just doesn't
seem like something

that Nancy would allow.

Well, there's only
one way to find out.

I'll meet you
at her apiary.

So, I spoke to the

Okay, so where

get those Varroa
mites from?

[Rex growls]

But-

we've got some
other work to do.

[Rex growls again]

Let's go.

Hello, Mr. Bogner.

I know you're
very busy.

So thanks for coming
all the way out here.

Detective.

You wanted

to speak
with me.

But I don't remember
giving you permission-

to go through
my hives.

I have a warrant to search
your apiary in my pocket.

I'm happy to
let you read it.

[Rex sniffing]

I'll take your
word for it.

What's he looking for?

- We are looking for
a number of things.

First are queens
marked with red dots.

Red is the marking system
you would have used-

when you and
Nancy were a couple.

And earlier-

Rex was also looking
for Varroa mites.

Well, he
won't find any.

They don't exist
in Newfoundland.

Actually I'm pretty sure
they're in these very hives.

Rex can smell
the difference-

between bees and mites.

And he signaled the
mites are already here.

But you already
know that.

You see, this is what
I think happened.

Garrett's colony had collapsed.

He asked Nancy
for help.

When she examined his hives,
she spottted two things.

Varroa mites and a
queen with two dots.

Garrett had your queen.

Your camera trap
recorded him stealing it.

Nancy put it
all together.

She realized instantly-

that he had gotten
his queen from you.

Now, Garrett knew
how to steal a queen.

But what Garrett
didn't realize

was the queen he had
taken was infected.

Nancy confronted you
about that, didn't she?

Of course, you
denied everything.

But you knew she
wouldn't give up.

She'd come looking
for proof.

And she
didn't give up.

She came out here
to your apiary-

searching for answers.

But she didn't know-

that you had doused
her suit in banana oil.

[Nancy cries out]

She was swarmed.

You're desperate, Detective.

[Rex barks]

Nancy was never here.

We know that
she was killed-

near a red
pine stand.

Pollen stains
on her suit-

confirm that.

So what?

There are lots of apiaries
with red pine stands.

- I believe-

this is Nancy's
missing cell phone.

How do you suppose
it ended up here?

♪
[dramatic percussion]

[Rex grunts]

Rex, go.

Ahh!

Ughh!

Aghh!

Sarah: You're lucky-

you were nowhere near
as susceptible to bees-

as Nancy was.

But you knew that she had
an underlying condition.

Didn't you?

Yes.

Tell me what happened.

The winter was
hard for my bees.

Hmm.

I lost over
80% of them.

There was no way that I
could supply enough bees-

for cranberry pollination-

much less make
honey for mead.

So I-

I shipped some
new bees in.

Mmm.

But when they
arrived, they were-

contaminated.

I couldn't risk having
the Ministry destroy them.

I would have
been ruined.

- Wait.

So you just decided-

to put the enitre island's
bee population at risk?

How did the banana oil
end up on Nancy's suit?

Like I said-

I knew she wasn't
going to give up.

So I went to her
house that night.

She always keeps
a suit in her trunk-

for when she
visits apiaries.

And I put the
banana oil on it.

And the notes?

I thought it
would lead you-

to the Beekeepers
Association for suspects.

Hmm.

But the problem
was Garrett-

because he realized the mites in
his hive came from your queen.

He's not quite the idiot
that I thought he was.

He came to
me for money-

to keep quiet.

But I wasn't
having that.

So I went to his apiary,
and things, they-

got out of control.

And so you staged
the robbery-

to provide more cover.

- Yeah.

I had a couple guys help
fake the whole thing.

You know what's funny?

If I hadn't written
that note-

you probably would have
written it off as an accident.
