Trainees!

Listen up!

Welcome to Farmland!

It is one of four environments we utilize

to assess the abilities of you

and your K9 in realworld conditions.

Still to come, our urban street,

beach

and my favourite:

junkyard.

Buried in this field are a number of vials

filled with artificial cadaver scent.

Your K9s have been trained

to alert to these samples.

You and your K9's task

is to locate four of these targets.

Constable Augustine!

Get us started.

Okay, partner. Let's do this.

When you're ready, start your search.

Ready?

Find it.

Good work, partner.

Next one, offleash.

Zeppelin's better onleash, Sergeant.

Is she? Or is it that

you're more confident with the lead in your hand?

Your partner is taking her cues from you.

If you're confident, then so is she.

Understood.

Hey.

Find it!

That's it.

That's it, Zep.

Focus!

Zeppelin, find! Zeppelin!

Zeppelin, come!

Is this part of the exercise?

No, it's not.

Oh, my God.

I know him!

I understand one of your canines

took cadaver training a little bit too seriously.

You should give him an extra treat.

She. And no, I didn't.

The officer she's training with, Constable Augustine,

knows the victim.

Yeah, I'll talk to her soon. Yeah.

Thank you. Yeah.

Sarah, did Forensics give you an update?

The victim is male.

Appears to be in his forties.

Gunshot wound to the chest.

These drag marks seem to extend all the way down the beach.

Yeah, there's blood up there

so I'm thinking that's where he was shot.

And then he was dragged all the way back down here.

Yep. Vehicles?

No, so the killer either drove him here

or took his car.

Okay. We'll check local house cams

and see if they see any suspicious vehicles.

Yeah, it's already happening. Good.

Time of death? Less than 24 hours ago.

What do you got there, buddy?

Poker chip.

$500.

Maybe the victim was a gambler?

Yeah, that's a distinct possibility.

I'll see you back at the station.

Constable Augustine. Yes, sir.

But people call me Kit.

And... this is Zeppelin.

Superintendent Donovan.

You can call me Joe.

And I think you know who this is.

It is an honour to meet you, Rex.

I understand you recognize the victim.

His name is Lou Davis.

He just got paroled after a few years in prison.

I live in the same building as his ex, Winnie.

Responded to a few domestic calls there.

Is that why he did time? No.

He got caught running illegal gambling out of his bar.

That might explain the poker chip we found by the body.

When was the last domestic?

A few weeks ago.

Did you file a report?

Winnie didn't want to press charges, but...

Yeah, there's a report.

Something wrong, Constable?

The last time Winnie saw Lou, she was pretty upset.

She told him if he ever came around her

or her son Finn again,

she'd kill him.

Did that threat seem credible? No.

I have known Winnie a long time.

I'd like to be there for the death notification, Superintendent.

She and her son might like to see a familiar face.

Sergeant Renley.

Do you mind if I borrow Constable Augustine for a couple of hours?

I think her relationship to the family might prove helpful.

Okay.

But Zeppelin isn't approved for field duty yet.

She stays.

Okay.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hold.

Settle.

Easy, girl.

Hey Kit, what's going on?

Winnie. This is is Superintendent Donovan and Rex.

Can we come in?

Yeah, of course.

Sorry, the place is a bit of a mess.

No, no no no, it's fine.

You must be Finn.

Your dog's cool. I'd like a dog.

Well, maybe if we get a little bigger place, we can get one!

Winnie.

We have some bad news.

Would you like some tea? I have...

No, tea can wait.

Do you want to sit down?

What's the bad news?

I'm very sorry.

But your father was killed.

His body was found this morning.

Finn, sweetie.

Are you sure there hasn't been a mistake?

I saw him, Winnie.

Is it okay if I ask Finn some questions?

Yeah.

Finn, when was the last time you saw your father?

Um, I didn't really see him.

My mom wouldn't allow it.

But he was here recently.

And he and your mother had an argument?

I wasn't here. I was at work.

Which is where I should be heading

or I'll be late for my shift.

Where do you work?

I volunteer at the youth centre.

Finn.

Is there anyone you can think of

who may have wanted to hurt your father?

Like I said earlier,

I didn't really know him.

So, I'm sorry. I have to go.

No, you don't have to go.

It's okay, I want to.

Finn. I'll be back in a while.

No sign of forced entry at Lou Davis's address.

Thank you. And a 1994 Crown Victoria registered in his name is missing.

Okay, I'll put an alert out on it.

I'm also running his criminal record for known associates.

Okay, great. I spoke with the detective

who worked Lou's illegal gambling case.

Apparently he coowned a bar named Skimmers

with a Jake Biles. Jake Biles?

Did he go prison on vice charges as well?

Uh, no.

No, he cut a deal to testify against Lou.

Said he had no idea the slots they were using were illegal.

Oh, sounds like a recipe for conflict when Lou got out.

Well, after he cut the deal,

Biles closed on Skimmers and then dropped out of sight.

Okay. I'll track him down.

Okay.

So, you guys have been having a lot of problems.

I may have said some things to Lou

that I shouldn't have, but he...

he just made me so angry.

About?

Lou was a terrible father.

Gambled, drank, cheated on me.

Then he gets out of jail and he decides

he's going to be a part of Finn's life again?

I wasn't going to let him hurt Finn the way he hurt me.

I'd do anything to protect my son.

Hey, of course you would.

Do you mind if I take a look around?

Um...

No, go ahead.

What have you got there, buddy?

Okay, pal.

Good job.

Good job.

Do you have the key to this?

Winnie, you're going to have to come down to the station

while we have this tested.

Take Winnie to interview room number two.

Ballistics doesn't think the gunshot residue test will play.

Winnie's hands have been freshly scrubbed.

Well, that's not surprising.

I mean, Winnie works as a cleaner.

Yeah, it's also a convenient excuse to dismiss gunshot residue.

Sarah, what calibre was the bullet?

Nine millimetre. Same as Winnie's.

We're running a comparison test right now

to see if the bullets match.

Kit. Winnie trusts you.

You should sit in on the interview with me.

Yeah, yeah, if you think it'll help. But...

I've never actually done an interview before.

Well, now's your chance.

Kit.

Thank God. How much longer is this going to take?

I'm sorry, Winnie, but

we need to ask a few more questions. Why?

I didn't have anything to do with Lou's murder.

You own a gun, Winnie.

And it's the same calibre as the one that killed Lou.

Yeah, it's legally purchased.

And registered.

Maybe just tell us why you have it.

You know we don't live in the best neighbourhood.

It's for protection. That's it.

The gun was fired recently.

Last night I went to Bachman's range.

There's no point in owning a gun if you don't know how to use it.

Where'd you go after the range?

To work! At the youth centre!

I clean up there three nights a week.

The youth centre?

The same place that Finn volunteers?

Yes.

Can anyone there confirm what time you started your shift?

It was a little before nine.

There's time cards.

The last time you and your exhusband spoke, you fought.

What about?

Just...

Just tell us, Winnie.

He showed up at the apartment out of the blue.

I figured he'd been drinking.

Said he wanted to start over. Make up.

Get back together. Be in Finn's life again.

Offered money.

Offered money? How could he offer money?

Didn't he just get out of prison?

I don't know! Maybe from his old bar?

I don't know, I didn't want his money.

I wanted him gone! You wanted him gone?

I didn't kill Lou.

You have to believe me. Why?

Because if I go to jail, who's going to take care of Finn?

You did good work, Constable Augustine.

Thank you. But do we really need to hold Winnie?

At least until the ballistic report comes back.

Look, she's not a violent person and Lou was a piece of work.

Yeah, I know. We'll get to the bottom of it.

But in the meantime, I'll arrange a ride for you to get back to K9.

I'd like to stay on the case.

I'm sorry, but this is only temporary.

I know the people and I know the area.

I grew up in that neighbourhood and... Kit.

You and Zeppelin have already been a lot of help.

But now it's time to get back to her.

Of course.

Okay.

Hey, uh...

Can I help you?

Just, uh... I'm looking for my mom.

Winnie Davis.

Winnie Davis? You must be Finn.

Yeah, she's going to be another minute but I can...

Whoa, is that...

Is that ThunderFrogs?

Yeah. You play?

Yeah, only after work and before bed and on weekends.

Where did you get that?

Online.

Wow! I've never seen that before!

Can you send me a link?

Yeah. I can try.

My mom's kind of strict about tech stuff, so...

Okay. Well listen, any member

of the resistance against the combat shrews

is a friend of mine. Your secret's safe with me.

Have a seat. I'll go find your mom.

And hey...

For the tadpoles.

For the tadpoles.

Bachmann's range confirms Winnie signed in

at 7:30 last night and was out an hour later.

Well, maybe she went to the range

to explain why her gun was fired.

Maybe, but here are the ballistics results.

Her gun didn't kill Lou.

Or maybe she used a different weapon

and then left this one in plain sight.

It's a great way to be ruled out.

True. Hey, guys.

Ah, just the man I wanted to see. Listen,

Jesse, during Winnie's interview,

she said that Lou had just recently come into some money

and perhaps he got it from his old bar.

Any luck tracking down Jake Biles? Not yet, no.

He left the island. Seems to have vanished.

Most likely under a different name

but I will find him.

Hey, um...

When will Winnie be released?

Her son's waiting.

A single mom to a boy who's just lost his father.

I doubt Winnie's a flight risk.

And given the ballistics...

Okay. Cut her loose.

But make sure we we keep digging into her story.

Rex, you're with me. Come on.

Mom.

Let's go home.

Charlie! Hey!

I can't tell you how great it is to hear your voice.

And you too, buddy.

Uh, uh, so... ?

What's going on down there?

Well, I found out that after the fight,

my brother saw a ring doctor.

He thought that, um...

he might have ruptured an eardrum.

What did the doctor prescribe?

Cefuroxime.

That's a strong antibiotic.

Jack could have had a bad reaction.

I mean, he could have gotten disoriented and walked off.

Good to know.

I'll expand my search tomorrow.

Charlie.

You're going to find him.

It's going to be okay. Thanks.

I needed that.

I miss you.

I know.

We both miss you too.

So, you're doing okay?

Yeah.

Hi! How can I help you?

Hey.

Superintendent Donovan. SJPD.

I'm looking for some information on an employee here.

Her name is Winnie Davis.

Oh, yeah, that's uh... That's Finn's mom.

Yeah, she's the night cleaner here.

Well, I need her timecard. Okay.

Yeah, we keep all that in the back office, so...

What is it?

What is it, pal?

That's a good boy.

This red filament,

what's it used for?

Uh, that's the raw material

that the 3D printer uses to make things with.

The whole process amazes me.

And who has access to this machine?

The 3D printer? Yeah.

Well, the kids who do the computer class after school.

Finn teaches them to use the thing, actually.

The kid's a whiz with the tech, I tell you.

Have you seen this man

hanging out here before?

No.

Sorry, uh, do you still want those timecards?

I can get them for you back here.

Yeah.

And if you don't mind, I'd love to have a sample of this filament.

Of course, yeah.

Thank you.

Constable Augustine.

Are you with us this morning?

Uh, yes, Sergeant. I'm sorry, Sergeant.

I don't think you are.

And if you're distracted, that means Zeppelin will be, too.

Now tell me, what's up?

It's the Lou Davis case.

I want to work on it.

It's Major Crimes's case.

Yeah, but Zeppelin started the whole thing by finding his body.

I appreciate your passion,

but you and Zeppelin aren't ready for the field.

Sergeant Renley. Can I be open with you?

I expect no less.

When I joined the force four years ago,

my goal was to become a detective.

K9 wasn't even on my radar.

When the opportunity for me to apply here came up,

it was solely as a career advancement.

But to my surprise, I discovered I love working with dogs.

You'd better.

Zeppelin's made a huge commitment to you.

And I would never let her down.

But there is a part of me that wants to be a detective still, and,

I know Zepp and I can help. Constable.

You and Zeppelin both have long way to go.

Now, you two take the rest of the day off

and come back tomorrow clearheaded and ready to focus.

Okay, Zepp.

Looks like we have the rest of the day off.

Want to come down? Yeah.

Good!

So,

what do you want to do with our day off, huh?

Yeah, I agree.

A little field trip's in order.

Sarah. Hey, I have something to show you.

Oh.

Hang on.

Is this your new obsession? ThunderFrogs?

Well I was just... I was looking for a pin,

for it...

Okay, don't judge me.

ThunderFrogs is complex mythology.

It's not just for children.

This is what I wanted to show you.

Joe, hey, good timing. Check this out.

What is this? Well, this came in from the tips email.

It was recorded on the night of Lou's murder.

There's not much to watch but listen to this part.

Well, that's a gunshot.

Maybe the one that killed Lou Davis.

Well, if that's the case, whoever recorded this video

was a witness to Lou's murder.

The interior of this car,

it's consistent with Lou's missing vehicle.

Track it down.

That's a top priority. And I'll try to clean up these voices.

Also...

I found Jake Biles.

Looks like he was living under an assumed identity.

So how'd you find him? I looked into his old bar, Skimmers.

Turns out it reopened.

Okay, I need you to text me the address. You got it.

Rex, let's go!

Well, it looks like your ThunderFrogs will have to wait.

The frogs have waited a generation for a new champion.

A few more hours won't hurt.

All right, Zep.

Hey, if things get hairy in there, you're my backup, okay?

Yeah.

Let's do this, partner.

Okay.

Let's go.

Well, if it ain't little Kit Augustine.

Hi, Jake.

Word around the neighbourhood is Skimmers just reopened

so I thought I might find you here.

How you been?

Getting by, apple pie.

Who's your friend? This is my partner,

Zeppelin.

I'm in training for the K9 program.

Yeah, I heard that you had gone to cop school.

That's right.

Folks must be some proud. Mmm.

This a social call? I can get you a drink.

This is business.

You heard about Lou Davis?

Folks are talking.

What are they saying?

Lou probably got what he deserved.

Jake Biles.

Guilty as charged.

Superintendent Joe Donovan, Major Crimes, SJPD.

Well, how about this?

Looks like I'm running a cop bar now.

Fancy seeing you here, sir.

Indeed.

So I suppose you're also asking after Lou Davis?

I am.

When did you see him last?

Came in here just after he got released.

We heard he'd come in to some money.

Any idea...

where he got it from?

Lou was a big talker.

I wouldn't believe everything he said.

Maybe he wanted back in on your operation.

You didn't like that.

You know, that's what I thought at first,

but then he just asked about getting into some poker games.

Where were you two days ago?

You know, that one's easy.

I was at my granddaughter's baptism in Clarenville.

Joyous occasion.

I can get you the name of twelve aunties and the priest.

I want to apologize, Superintendent.

I know I was out of line.

Disobeying a senior officer is a big deal, Kit.

We need to know that we can rely on you to follow orders.

I just wanted to show you what I could do.

And I wanted to give Zeppelin a chance to prove herself too.

I thought I made it clear.

You and Zeppelin are not part

of the Lou Davis investigation! I just... I had a hunch.

What you did was irresponsible and dangerous!

Furthermore, it put the integrity of... Sergeant Renley.

A word?

Of course.

Don't go chasing any more hunches until I get back.

Understood.

I want to apologize for Constable Augustine's unacceptable behaviour.

Her instincts were right, though.

I mean...

She did come up with Jake Biles on her own.

What are you getting at, Joe?

How much potential do you think Kit and Zeppelin have?

Kit is dedicated.

A hard worker.

But wilful, as you've seen.

That's good traits to have in a cop, right?

What about Zeppelin?

Zeppelin's the best K9 I've seen since Rex.

But... ? But...

they have a very long way to go.

Kit needs to be more confident so Zeppelin can be too.

How would you feel about seconding Kit and Zeppelin to Major Crimes?

Jan, we're shorthanded.

And we could use some help.

There's no better place to get experience

than being around Rex.

Okay.

They're yours.

Thanks.

Joe.

They're just babes.

I'll keep Kit in line.

And trust me, Rex will do the same for Zeppelin.

So how dead am I?

You're on field assignment with Major Crimes.

What?

That's incredible!

I really thought that Sergeant Renley

was going to take Zep away from me.

Jan Renley is a good cop.

She just wants you and Zeppelin to be great.

They just found Lou Davis's car.

Let's go.

Sergeant?

Thank you.

All right Zep, let's do this.

Stop wasting my time and answer the question, Lou.

You really cleaned up the audio.

The software is unbelievable. Where's the money, Lou?

Guys, stop. I can get it!

You're texting someone about chips.

Wait, chips?

Does he mean poker chips? Yeah, that'd be my guess.

No, guys! Come on! Who's Logan?

Nobody! Lou!

Give me that! Give it back!

Lou, stop!

Damn it.

Now we're gonna have to find this guy ourselves.

Who's this Logan?

I don't know.

But I'm betting he was in the back seat of that car.

Which would make him an eyewitness.

We need to find Logan before these killers do.

What have you got there, buddy?

What is it?

Okay, okay.

Good job.

This is 3D printed.

It's a disc.

And it's got Lou and Finn Davis's picture on it.

Wait, Finn looks the same age he is now.

This photo is recent.

Yeah, which means he lied to us

about when he saw his father last.

Why would he do that? I don't know.

But you're going to talk to him and find what he has to say.

Do you trust me on my own?

Yeah, you're part of the team now.

So is Zeppelin.

Okay.

Well, he's probably at school,

so I'm going to start there first.

Yeah.

What is it, Superintendent?

I think Rex has been on to something the whole time.

And only now am I starting to figure out what it was.

As you suspected, Rex did turn up a clue.

The poker chip recovered at the murder scene

and the picture of Finn and Lou.

They were both 3D printed

using the material that Rex alerted to at the youth centre.

The same youth centre that Finn volunteers at?

Yeah. It would explain

why I couldn't find Finn's ThunderFrogs pin for sale anywhere.

He created it. But did he print the other stuff?

Well, I can see Finn making the picture

of him and his father, but, why a poker chip?

The killers mentioned this Logan.

I mean, maybe he printed it. Agreed.

Which gives me another idea.

Jesse, can you call up Lou Davis's list of known associates?

Yeah, sure thing.

What do you know?

Lou Davis's cellmate was Victor Kane.

One of the Kanes who ran the underground casinos in Fort Kent?

Yeah, one and the same.

I mean, what better way to make a buck

than to use a 3D printer to fabricate poker chips?

And then cash them in at an underground casino.

It's a winwin situation without winning.

Okay, so Lou probably found out

about the 3D printer from Finn.

And then, like you said,

got this Logan to actually print the chips.

And then the Kanes got wind of the scheme

and sent in a couple of their thugs to handle business.

I'm going to check in at the youth centre

and see if anyone knows who this Logan is.

I'm also going to touch base with Kit

and see if any of this rings a bell for her.

Rex, let's go!

Where is everybody?

Where is everybody?

What happened to you?

A couple of guys attacked me.

For no reason.

For no reason?

Alan, if you lie to me,

your day is only going to get worse.

Come on, stand up.

Who were they?

I don't know. I mean, they...

They came in saying that Lou told them about our 3D printer

and they wanted to know

if I helped them print some poker chips with it.

I don't know.

So did you help them?

Yeah.

Yeah, I needed the money and Lou said no one would figure it out.

Yeah. But obviously the Kanes did, right?

And they wanted their money back.

But Lou stiffed me.

I didn't have any of it.

Wait, how are you still alive?

You told them that Logan had it, didn't you?

Yeah, they would have killed me if I didn't give them something.

Who is he?

Alan?

If they find Logan, they are going to kill him.

And his death is going to be on your conscience

for the rest of your life.

So who is he?

Logan is Finn's middle name.

Lou always calls him that.

Oh my God, you gave them Finn's name.

You gave them Finn's name.

Kit!

Kit, where are you?

Do you have eyes on Finn?

No, he wasn't at school

so I'm checking out the apartment.

Something's wrong.

No, no, Kit.

Kit!

Rex, let's go!

Zep, you ready?

Let's go.

Winnie!

They took Finn.

Who did? Two men. I didn't know them.

Finn said he would take them to Lou's old hunting shack.

It's out by the quarry. I know where that is.

Find him, Kit.

Hey, Joe.

Yeah, they took Finn.

But I know where they're headed.

I'm betting this vehicle belongs to whoever took Finn.

Yeah. Is that his Tshirt?

Oh, yeah.

What can you tell me about this place?

We used to play here when we were children.

It's a bunch of old hunting shacks.

Yeah, it's the perfect spot to stash cash or fake poker chips.

Hopefully Rex can track them before anything happens to Finn.

You know, Zep can help too.

Okay.

But you can cover more ground offleash.

Okay. You ready?

All right, go! Track them! Sook Zep!

Let's go.

Is that your dad's shack back in those bushes?

Yeah.

You'll let my mom go, right?

If the chips and money are in there.

I swear I won't tell anybody.

You're just like your old man.

He tried to talk his way out of trouble too.

My mom had nothing to do with this.

Well, we'll let her go.

If you're telling us the truth.

If you aren't,

you know what happened your old man.

Hey!

Hey, what do you got there, pal?

That's Finn's pin.

Looks like we're on the right track.

Rex, go!

Go get it.

Can I go? Yeah.

Okay, just head out this way.

And you'll let my mom go,

like you promised? Yeah, sure.

Rex! Zep!

Hey! Zep!

Hey! Hi! Good girl!

Yeah!

Whatcha got there? Huh?

Drop it!

Drop it now!

Where are Finn and Rex?

Where are they? I got this guy.

Zep. Take Joe to Rex.

You good? Uhhuh, I got him.

Aghhh!

Get him off me!

Get him off me!

Good job, Rex.

You're under arrest.

Just keep that dog away from me!

Hey, pal. Hey.

Awww.

Good job, you two.

Finn! Oh, thank God. Mom!

I just wanted Dad to like me.

Of course you did, sweetheart.

Yeah.

I was with him that night.

He had some business with a couple of men.

He told me to hide in the back seat and be quiet and...

and not make any noise.

All right, Zep.

Oh, Finn.

I turned on my phone just in case.

Mom, they shot him!

I hid until they left.

I ran over to him, but...

I drove the car far.

I didn't want them tracing it to the house.

Why didn't you just tell me?

I was just worried about you, Mom.

I sent a video to the police, but...

I didn't think I'd screw things up. I'm sorry.

No, you didn't do anything wrong.

Everything's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

Okay.

You did great, Finn.

Let's get you home.

Detective Mills tells me that you're pretty good with computers.

I guess I picked a few things up from the centre.

That's how I got my start, too.

And I want to hear all about it.

You know, your mom said this was okay.

I had an upgrade recently

and I thought maybe you could use some of my old gear.

All right. This is a 3D printer!

This laptop's got the best video card!

Oh yeah. You're just getting rid of this stuff?

On one condition.

I'd really love one of those ThunderFrog pins.

Sure! Okay.

I didn't know you had a 3D printer.

I didn't up until a few hours ago.

So,

how do you feel after your first stint as a detective?

Uh, fantastic.

Look, I can't thank you enough for the opportunity.

Well, you should really thank Sergeant Renley again.

No, I'll be sure to do that.

After you two are finished training,

I could put in a good word for you with Major Crimes.

That would be fantastic.

I mean, Zep and I, we have a long way to go

before we're ready for any of that, but...

maybe we could pop by every now and then?

Get a few pointers from Rex?

Any time, Kit.

Any time.
