The answer is no.

I just got out of a
relationship, I don't wanna date

anyone right now.

He's a nice guy. What's the harm
in meeting him? He's a cop.

He's not a cop, he's a forensic
pathologist. Good-looking, too.

There is the whole
drooling thing, but...

OK, if you're gonna
put it that way...

Hold on, there's someone
at the door.

Hey! I'm on the phone with Maz.

My... UberEATS just arrived.

Why did you tell them you were
on the phone with me?

Is getting cold. I mean warm.
I'll call you later.

Sila, what's going on?
You have to help me.

But please don't tell Maz about this,
we got into a giant, awful fight

about me moving in with Jordan and now we're
not even talking. My God, I can't breathe!

OK, calm down.
Just tell me what happened.

Somebody took Leroy.

Ready? - Yep.
- Ready?

Yep.

There he is! He's out!

Hold on.

Over there. There he goes.

There he is, there he is! I've got
him, I've got him! Aha, gotcha!

Attaboy, Liam!

Alright, here we go.

Here we go. Look at that.

One live mouse.
- What are we gonna do with him? - I don't know,

let him go in the back
alley or something? Yeah.

That's my mom. I gotta go. Hey!

I saw that Phoenix was coming to
the Masonic Temple this spring

and you'll be back from Italy by then.
Should I grab some tickets?

They're going on sale tomorrow and
they'll sell out pretty quick.

Cool. Um, maybe.
I'll let you know, OK?

Yeah, of course. See ya.

- Bye.
- Bye. Bye, Mr. Shade.

- Bye, Liam.
- Bye!

What was that about?
I thought you liked Phoenix.

I don't... I don't know. I'm
leaving for Italy in a month.

It feels weird to make plans
so far ahead.

Who knows what I'll be interested
in by then? Yeah, right.

Gotta meet Angie downtown. New
case. Um, Grandpa's around here

somewhere. Will you be OK?
Yeah, go, go.

How you doing there, bud?

Man, I love this place.
Our client works here?

She's the lead marine
biologist and head of research

and conservation, and also...
Angie!

Thank you so much for coming!

You must be Matt Shade.
Hi. I'm Dr. Sila Mazhari.

That's funny. We know a Mazhari.

You're related to him, aren't you?
Yes.

- She's Maz's sister.
- Is he here? - No.

I don't want him
involved in this.

I usually feel the same way.
So, what's the problem?

- Leroy's gone.
- Leroy, your... colleague?

No.
- Boyfriend? - No. Leroy

is an octopus.

An octopus!

Your text didn't mention that.
Surprise!

Why would anyone

steal an octopus? Leroy is more

than just an octopus.
He's an Enteroctopus Ibakaan.

- You don't say.
- He was found 3 weeks ago

off the shore of North Korea.
I petitioned to have him

sent here. His species is
on the brink of extinction.

- How many are left?
- Prior to finding Leroy, one.

- One?
- A female named Sally.

She's at an aquarium
in Australia.

We transported Leroy here
for conservation purposes.

I studied his species for my PhD
dissertation, but the research

that my team and I have
uncovered is, like... poof!

- What kind of research?
- Well, through some blood tests,

we were able to isolate the
nuclear membrane of his DNA

and the way the microtubules
attach to the chromosomes and...

- Words we understand.
- Right, um, OK.

Leroy has regenerative
capabilities

unlike any other
creature on earth.

It takes a starfish up to a year
to regenerate a severed arm.

Leroy can regrow a new tentacle
in just a few weeks.

Is the Australian aquarium
aware of your findings?

Sally's on her way here
as we speak.

You're hoping
for a love connection.

If we can get them to mate,

we can bring an entire species
back from the dead.

The tank was right there. The
thieves came in through the door

and took it out with them.
How big was the tank?

- At least 300 gallons.
- That's a lot of weight.

It was on wheels. We were
slowly trying to introduce

new elements of his habitat to break
him in. Where's his new habitat?

Out front. Tallulah the sea turtle's being
shipped off to Puttner Aquarium to make room.

My God, Angie,

what am I gonna do? I mean,
we were setting him up

to have his own YouTube channel.
Sally had one in Australia

that became super popular, so...
Calm down.

Don't worry. If he's out there,
we're gonna find him.

Are you sure you don't wanna bring
Maz in on this? No, no, no, no, no.

I can't. If he gets involved,
it just becomes a whole thing

and the press will find out,
and we have to keep this quiet.

- OK.
- Hey, this security camera here,

- is it recording?
- Yes!

Henry, I'm coming your way, if you
can cue up the surveillance footage.

So, what's the story
with her and Maz?

He's less than thrilled
that his little sister moved in

with her boyfriend after
only knowing him 3 months.

Jordan's basically her first
serious relationship.

- Really?
- Yeah, she fast-tracked

through school, had two PhDs
by the time she was 26.

Boyfriends weren't
exactly a priority.

Hey, believe me, I understand
where Maz is coming from,

but she is an adult.

It's just around the corner.

There's more to it,
but I'll tell you later.

This is Henry, one of our
security guards. Henry,

these are some friends of mine.
They're gonna help us find Leroy.

Can you show them the footage?
Such as it is,

the thieves hacked our system.

This is all I have.

Can't even make out the plate.

See, he gets his computer

and then... blackout.

Professional job.

- Dr. Sandoval, what are you doing here?
- I get notified every time

our security alarm goes off. Henry filled
me in. How could this have happened?

- We're still trying to figure that out.
- Who are you?

This is Angie Everett and her partner Matt
Shade. They're private investigators.

You called Pis? Shouldn't we
have called the police?

I thought it was best if we just kept
the theft quiet until we knew more.

- Actually, that's smart.
- And you are? - Fred Gusev.

Chairman of the Board of
Directors. I was having dinner

with Dr. Sandoval
when she got the call.

Please, sir, can I ask you not
to say anything to the board

about this?
It's gonna be apparent

on Friday.
- What happens Friday? There's an event planned.

It's the grand unveiling of
Leroy and Sally's new habitat.

This mishap could cost
your department funding

for next year, Dr. Mazhari.
That includes

your salary. We were about
to save an entire species.

I don't even care about my job right now.
I just wanna get Leroy back safe...

OK, OK, everyone
just take a breath.

The board doesn't meet for 48
hours, if you can track down Leroy

within that time...
We will. I hope so.

This was your project,
Dr. Mazhari.

The board allocated nearly a
million dollars to your research,

so this lies on your shoulders.

Big promise you made.

I can't let Sila down.

If she doesn't Maz
involved in the case,

it's up to us
to get her out of this.

Yeah, about Maz...

His dad was a cop, undercover.

He couldn't handle the stress.

Maz doesn't like to talk about it.
So what happened?

He had a nervous breakdown. Yeah,
he ended up in the hospital.

When he got out,
he just... left.

Maz was in college at the time.
Sila was 13.

It changed the relationship between them.
He became more of a dad

- than a brother.
- Exactly.

Alright, well,
let's work the angles.

Why steal an octopus?

A very valuable, one-of-a-kind
octopus. What's your motivation?

You're an animal activist.
Free Leroy into the wild.

Sila's a conservationist.
Her job is to save animals.

Not to mention they left
all the others

behind. You wanna strike a
blow against the facility,

for some reason,
or Sila herself.

Then why not kill the octopus?
Why bother removing

- the entire tank?
- Right. OK,

so let's say I've stolen
this incredibly rare,

almost extinct octopus and I wanna
sell it for a lot of money.

How do you fence a hot octopus?

Just so we're clear,

this is the last place
Sila wanted us to come.

- We don't have to tell him who our client is.
- Tell me who what client is?

Your last name

is Mazhari. That's good, Shade.
You're finally learning.

So what brings you two clowns down
here so late on a school night?

- Exotic animals.
- OK.

I've been on a 15-hour shift.
This is...

this is going to be great.

What can you tell us about the
illegal animal trade in this city?

Well, wildlife trafficking

is the fourth biggest black market
industry after drugs, guns and people.

Brings in 23 billion dollars a year.
Who did you say your client was?

- Did you say billion with a B?
- Between collectors,

poachers, medical companies,
there's a long list of people

who for some reason get their kicks
out of owning exotic animals.

And how exactly does the trade
of said wildlife work?

Well, let's see.
On a local level,

we've got 3 major importer-
exporters that we know about.

They sell animals
at secret auctions.

- Can't you just shut them down?
- It's easier said than done.

They bounce around all over the city. There is
a taskforce who's supposed to deal with this,

but if you ask me,
the detective in charge

is just coasting
until retirement.

You didn't get that from me.

So who's your client?
Thanks, Maz. Gotta go.

I hear slippers.

Are you still in your PJs? I am.

I had to work late on a case.
Good morning.

So, um, I was wondering...

What was with you not wanting
to go to that concert

with Liam? Well, I was thinking

4 months is a long time
to do the distance thing,

so maybe Liam and I
should take a break...

as in break up.

- I see.
- But the other part of me doesn't want

to lose him, 'cause he's great.

- Right.
- So what do you think I should do?

I think you should dump him.

- Dad!
- Honey, I remember

when I was your age. I got
called up to play Junior A,

had to move across
the country. I broke up

with my first girlfriend,
Christy. Turns out to be

the best decision I could've made.
Really?

Yeah. On my own,
I could focus on hockey,

o didn't have to share myself with someone
who wasn't part of my life anymore.

Yeah, maybe you're right.
Thanks, Dad.

See you tonight.
Hey, honey, what are we doing

with the...?

These are the importers
Maz told us about? Yeah.

Anica Velic, Andrew Barker,
and Fung Ying Chow.

- That's gonna take forever to track each one of them down.
- Luckily,

you won't have to.
I just got off the phone

with my uncle's friend's
son-in-law's brother

who runs an army surplus
store on Spadina.

Apparently, they have a special
on gas masks right now...

- Zoe, focus.
- Right.

According to him,
all three importers

distribute through
a woman named Elodie.

- Elodie?
- She runs a weekly exotic pet auction

in various places throughout
the city, but rumour has it

there's one today in Chinatown.
Suspicious timing.

- So how do we find her?
- Army surplus guy

says to walk along Dundas

and approach the men
standing on the street.

Men who look like
they're waiting for you

to walk up to them.
I'm not making this up

and say "Elodie", then they'll take you
to where the auction's being held.

It's worth a shot.

- Should we tell Sila?
- Maybe we should wait until... - Wait, wait. Sila?

As in, marine biologist,

octopus Sila? Shut the front
door, she's our client?

- You can't say anything.
- Who would I tell? Just Maz. - That's exactly who

you can't tell. Zoe, promise
you will not spill the beans.

OK, look, here's the thing.

I'm, like, really good
at keeping secrets

and all that from... strangers.

But when it comes
to my inner circle,

truth comes flying out of me like
projectile vomit. Can't you just stay

away from him for a few days?
I totally would,

except we're hanging out
tonight.

I won't say anything. I promise.

It's been an hour
and a half. I'm ready

to buy a pork skewer
and call it a day.

No, come on,
we can't give up yet.

OK, what about that guy?

Hey. Elodie?

Elodie?

- You guys looking for Elodie?
- Yeah.

Follow me.

The opening
bid is $15,000 dollars.

Excellent, we have 15,000.

Now we have 16,000,

gentleman with the red tie.

Do we have 17,000?

Do we have any movement?

17,000 for a Bengal
tiger puppy...

Excellent! We have 17,000

from the gentleman with the pretty lady.
No, no, no, I was just-

- Now we have 18,000.

- That was close.
- Excellent!

Gentleman raises it

to 19,000!
No, no, no, I... Stay still!

19,000 going once,

going twice...

$20,000,

gentleman with the sunglasses.
Do we have any movement?

Don't even breathe.

Sold!

$20,000.

- Elodie?
- Oui?

My name is Matt Shade. This is
my partner, Angie Everett.

We're not cops. We're here about
a missing octopus. It was stolen

from Ripley's Aquarium. How do
you know about the octopus?

- How do you know about it?
- It's been on the dark web for the last 12 hours.

Guess our balaclava buddies
went looking for a buyer.

Do you know who ended up with it?
Why would I tell you?

Because maybe I'll off some friends at PETA
about the little party you're having down here.

Ketura got it.

Of all people. On y va?

Wait, who's Ketura?

Ketura...

Why is that name familiar?

I'm texting Maz to tell him who's
running the underground auctions.

Maybe he knows someone
who can track footprints

on the dark web.

What's wrong?
I knew I recognised that name.

Ketura is a famous
underground chef.

Leroy's about to become
someone's dinner.

Ketura goes by one name.
Wikipedia says

she's a renegade chef
who hosts clandestine,

exclusive, cutting-edge

I think they mean unethical-
pop-up feasts around the world.

I remember hearing rumours of her infamous
dinners when I had my restaurant.

The more rare and unethical, the higher
the price. Well, the good news is.

Ketura's famous for only using the freshest
of ingredients. And how is that good news?

It means Leroy's
probably still alive.

We just need to find out where
that dinner's being held.

I may know a guy I can call.

Julian Barrington.
He's a food critic.

Gave my restaurant a scathing
review three weeks after it opened.

What did he say? - "The meal was reminiscent
of Matt Shade's hockey career:".

Sweaty, filled with errors,
but mercifully brief."

- Ouch.
- Yeah.

Guy had it in for me
after I called him a poser

on live TV. You really had a way

with people back then.

I drive by your old restaurant
every now and then.

It's a shoe repair shop now,
yet the aroma still reminds me

of your place. Ha, ha, ha! That's funny.
You know, I'm actually thinking

of getting back into
the restaurant business.

My palate quivers
with anticipation.

More of a sideline this time.

Yes, because running a restaurant
is a lovely hobby to take up.

I'm thinking of doing it more
in a pop-up style, like Ketura.

That's why I'd really like to
attend that dinner of hers tonight.

You'll never get into
that dinner, it's sold out.

Besides, tickets
are $5,000 each.

- $5,000?!
- For a once-in-a-lifetime experience?

Absolutely.

Luckily, my ticket was comped.

I don't believe you.
Let me see it.

- How mature.
- Seriously.

You're not being flown to
restaurant openings anymore.

You've become a little bit...
What's the word?

Passé,

in the food critic world.

Here.

See for yourself.

Wow. Look at that.

1235 Mill Street.
Is that a restaurant?

You'll never know. I'm the closest
you'll ever get to that dinner.

Bonsoir, madame.
You're here for...?

Ketura's 20,000 Leagues
Under the Sea dinner experience.

Right this way.

Copy that, Ketura. Name, please.

Dubowski. Mr. and Mrs.

The Dubowskis have arrived.
Very well, ma'am. Tickets,

please.

Right away.

If you just take the door
on the side of this building

downstairs to the
underground parking,

one of Ketura's assistants
will greet you.

Cover, I love it. Have you
been inside the venue?

- It's everything you deserve and more.
- Don't we need our tickets?

No, I'll process them here.
But you do need a password.

Leroy.

Leroy. Leroy.

- Have a nice night.
- Enjoy.

- How long before they realise?
- Long enough for us to get in and get out.

What's this for?

I spoke to Sila before
we left. If we find Leroy,

we can lure him into this thing.
How's he supposed to fit in here?

Apparently octopuses
don't have bones,

so they can fit into
really tiny spaces.

Clearly the thieves weren't
well-versed in octopus physiology.

Do I really have to carry
around a huge man purse?

Can't you just own it?

An entire species depends on it.

- Hi! - I'm happy to see you too.
- Sorry,

you scared me. I thought we were
meeting at the restaurant.

Yeah, but I got off work
early, so I figured

I'd pick you up. Great. Amazing.

That's so... thoughtful.
I am just going to...

clean up a little bit.

Real quick.

- Why are you being weird?
- I'm...

a weirdo. Just comes
with the territory.

Touché.

What is all this stuff?

What are you taking down?

- I have to go to the bathroom.
- Isn't the bathroom that way?

What's going on here?
What aren't you telling me?

Nothing.

Come on.

Our client is Sila, your
sister. She made Shade and Angie

promise not to tell you and... now
I just did, so maybe I'm fired.

Sila? What's going on
with my sister?

Thank you.

OK, we need to get
to the kitchen.

Welcome, everyone.

Please,

please. Take your seats.

Thank you for joining me.

It is my privilege, my honor,

to feed you this evening.

I hope you all brought
your appetite.

May I present
the first course? Fugu,

also known as pufferfish.

Delicious on the tongue,

but deadly if prepared
incorrectly.

You must train for two years
before taking a rigorous test

in which one third
of all applicants fail.

Don't worry, I passed.

And for the main course...

In our kitchen right now,

a truly rare treat.

A species of octopus known

for its incredible... Now's our
chance to get to the kitchen

while she's still talking.
It can grow a new tentacle

in just...

sorry, can I help you? Just
going to the bathroom.

- That's the kitchen. You can't go in there.
- We won't be a minute.

Sorry to spoil your supper, but could
everyone please put their hands in the air?

Did I stutter? Drop the fork.

Nobody messes with
my sister's octopus.

- What are you talking about?
- Turn around, please. Turn around. Go!

Ketura, you are under arrest for
the entrapment and endangerment

of a protected marine wildlife.

- Where's the frigging tank?
- It's not here.

What?

Leroy.

Get your own!

There's like 5 chips
in here and I'm starving.

So, Jules is
breaking up with Liam.

What? How come?

She wants to make a clean break before
Italy, you know, really immerse herself

in the culture. I thought
it was a great idea.

- You support this?
- Why?

No reason. I mean,
Liam's awesome, right,

but so is being young and free.
I remember spending time

- in France by myself.
- Right,

taking in the streets,
the museums, the people,

without being tethered
to someone across the ocean.

More like spending time with Nico, the artist
who lived in the troisième arrondissement.

And there was Pascal,
that weekend in Montpellier.

God, what have I done?
I need to talk to Jules,

make sure she's not making
any rash decisions.

Not so fast. You,
you're in the bad books.

She made me promise, Maz,
and my client has a right

to her anonymity. Not when your
client is my little sister.

We're not in grade school. Sila's a grown
woman, she can make her own decisions.

Can we talk about that later, please? For
now, I just thought you'd like to know

that in addition to trafficking
in illegal animals,

Ketura is also a fraud.

- What are you talking about?
- She found out

Leroy was stolen
through back channels.

She took credit for the theft
in order to profit from it.

- Wait, so the octopus we found?
- Not Leroy. St. Lawrence Market, 80 bucks.

- And the video?
- Some other octopus.

Sally.

It was footage from her webcam. I'm sorry, you
know an octopus named Sally with a webcam?

OK, you know what, I don't care. The point
is you should've brought me in earlier.

- I get it. We need to talk to Sila.
- And this time I'll be there.

You just leave your garbage
on my desk?

- I don't care!
- You know, I do happen to be a cop

that specializes in break-ins and thefts.
You should've contacted me first.

I didn't want your help. You
cut me out, so I cut you out.

I didn't cut you out, you just
don't know how to listen.

- Well, now you sound like Mom.
- Speaking of Mom,

did you tell her you moved in
with a guy you met on Bumble

three months ago?
So what? Get over it!

Whole life has been devoted

to her work; One guy swipes right
and it goes right out the window.

What's really the problem, here?

Is it the fact that I have a
person in my life that's not you

or Mom, or is it the fact that I'm in love?
Ha, ha, ha! In love?

Really? Sila, you just met this
guy. What are you gonna do,

get a house together and have kids?
Gimme one good reason why not.

Because, as everybody knows,

you need to flush at least two long-term
relationships down the toilet

before you can even think
about settling down!

He asked me
to marry him, Kurtis.

That's insanity.

What are you, 18 years
old in the 1950s? No.

No, I'm a modern,
career-driven woman

who's capable of working and being loved
at the same time. Yeah, that's great.

- What are you doing?
- What I should've done.

Calling
Forensics to get down here

and scour the crime scene,
alright?

Modern woman. Hey, Marty.

Yeah.

- Sila...
- Screwing up in all the ways, aren't I?

Hey, honey.

How's Mickey doing?
I think it's a Minnie,

and I think she's anxious
to get out, so me and Liam

are gonna release her
in a field after school.

- So you haven't...
- Broken up with him?

No. It's harder

than I thought it was gonna be.
That's understandable, honey.

Liam's a great guy and he's
become one of your best friends.

If you're having
second thoughts,

that's OK. Long-distance
relationships

can be rewarding too. Yesterday you said
you thought my decision was very mature.

And it is. I just wanna
make sure that you're...

following your heart
and not being pragmatic

for the sake of it. My God, I actually
thought I was making the right decision.

- Sweetheart...
- No, Dad, I cannot talk about this any more.

Honey, honey,

wait. Look, forget
what I said, OK?

This is your decision, not mine.
I shouldn't be offering advice.

- But I thought you said...
- You're gonna make the right choice, OK?

Just trust yourself.

Because I do.

Thanks, Dad.

See ya.
Have a good day at school.

Thank you.

Zoe?

Zoe...

I'm sorry.

I tried to keep my mouth shut.

I even tried running away from him.
Don't worry.

We never should've put you
in that position.

- So I'm not fired?
- Water up a duck's back, kiddo.

OK, that's great, because
I did some more digging.

I figured if it wasn't
creepy Ketura,

then who? May I present...

Dave O'Brien.

A former security guard
at the aquarium.

He was unceremoniously let go of last week,
after working there for nearly a decade.

Interesting.

He would've known
all about Leroy.

And maybe how to disable
the security cameras.

After ten years, maybe
you wanted a little revenge.

Nah, you guys got it all wrong.

The aquarium had every right
to fire me. I was a mess

the last year I worked there.
So no hard feelings?

No. Made me stand up

and pay attention. I even went
back to school because of it.

- Where were you two nights ago?
- I was right here.

I traded for an evening shift,
to audit a class.

You can check with my boss,
his office is right in there.

That's OK. We believe you.

Hey! How'd the thieves
get away with it, anyway?

I mean, I worked there forever
and we never had a robbery.

- Not one.
- They pulled a van up

to the loading bay, hacked the security
system, broke in, stole a tank.

- No plates, I guess?
- We couldn't make them out.

What about the parking
attendant's camera?

Parking lot's maintained
by a different company.

The attendant got robbed last
year, so he stuck a spy cam

on top of his booth.
Points right

at the aquarium back door.
Thanks.

I called and got
the footage, no problem.

I hate this parking lot
company, by the way.

Nine bucks an hour downtown?

I managed to zoom in this much,

but...

Still can't make out anything.

And 20 minutes later...

The thieves get back in the van

- and it speeds away.
- Nope.

- Nada.
- Shoot.

Hey, Maz.

Analysis came back from the lab.
Fingerprints from the back area

all match employees of the
facility, except for one.

Jordan.

Jordan who?

Sila's new boyfriend.
Or should I say fiancé?

How we finally meet.

Do you know anything about the octopus
that was taken two nights ago?

Nope. I don't know anything
about marine life.

That's really Sila's world.
Yeah, it is Sila's world.

In fact, it was her entire world
until you showed up.

- What?
- We found your fingerprints

on a tank in the restricted
area of the aquarium.

Seems you're in the system
because you're a schoolteacher.

What happened? Jealous of Sila's

workaholic lifestyle so you
decided to sabotage her career?

No, no! That couldn't be
further from the truth.

Then what were you doing
at the aquarium?

She...

she wouldn't return
my phone calls,

or texts, or emails.

I did the Say Anything move
with the boombox,

didn't work either.
I don't understand.

You two broke up? I thought
you were engaged. No, man.

She said no. And moved out
last weekend.

She just did a 180 on me.

Anyways,

I slipped past the security guy.
I just wanted to find her

and talk to her.
That's a little stalkerish.

Please continue.
She wasn't there,

so I just left a note
on a Post-It.

A note on a Post-It,
how romantic!

And the octopus was still in the
tank when you were there? Yeah,

stuck on the wall.
What time was that? Eight, I think.

- What d'you do after that?
- Well, I coach

senior boys' basketball
at my school,

so on Tuesdays
we practice 9 to 11.

- Hayworth Tech, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah. Well,

that's only 10 minutes
from Ripley's.

The theft happened at 8:40, you
could totally have still done it.

No, no, I was in traffic.

In traffic? On a weeknight?

Alright, why don't you
sit tight and we'll,

check out your alibi?

Are you sure about this?

He seemed pretty genuine.
Is it such a stretch

to assume he wanted
some measure of revenge

when Sila rejected his proposal?

- Hey. I came as soon as I got your text. What...
- Hey.

Wait, what? You found Jordan's
fingerprints at the aquarium?

- Hang on, Sila, you're not supposed to...
- Sila, it wasn't me.

- Why were you there?
- To see you!

Sila, I didn't know what else
to do. I... I left a note,

did you get it?

- No, I didn't.
- Sila, talk to me.

You can't just shut people out
like this all of a sudden.

I freaked out, OK?

I was happy.

And then you asked me to marry
you, and the only thing

that popped into my head was
how upset my family would be.

I couldn't be engaged,

I couldn't even be with somebody
without my family's approval,

and I know it's old-fashioned
and it's dumb. It's fine.

I'm sorry. Just...
forget I asked.

Look, my career is on the line.

Can you just give me some space?

I'll give you... I'll call you
later, we can talk...

we'll talk later.

Hey, you're free to go.

Hey, just remember,

I gassed up after
I left Ripley's.

8:45, you can check
my credit card. But thanks

for making me look like a criminal
in front of the love of my life.

What?

- We should get going.
- I'll meet you in the car.

I have to say something.

But it's because
I love you and Sila.

Angie, just stay out of it,
alright? Focus on the octopus.

That poor girl lost her father
when she was 13 years old,

but that was OK
because she had you.

She didn't need her dad there

when she graduated, when
she got her driver's license

or broke her collarbone,
because she had you.

- What's your point?
- My point is she grew up, Maz.

You can't keep treating her
like she's 13 years old.

You did the right thing
back then,

but now you gotta let her
live her life.

Just be her brother,
not her father.

You ready to do this?

- I think so.
- I found the perfect spot.

Plenty to eat and
lots of places to hide.

You really think
she'll survive out there?

She'll be fine.

She'll meet new friends
in no time.

Um, you must be pretty
stoked about Italy.

Yeah, totally.

Probably gonna be busy,

with the schoolwork

and crazy trips every weekend.

And you'll be across the ocean.

Which is why...

- Liam...
- I... I think...

I think we should
just transition

into being friends
before you leave.

What?

Jules, I could...
I could sense something

has been off with us for weeks.

I get it.

Can't say I disagree.

OK.

Come on, let's go let
our little friend free.

Actually,

I'd like to hold on
to her a little longer.

OK.

See you at school?

- So, wasn't Jordan.
- Poor kid.

- Why am I the only one to ever change this?
- I got it.

I got it.

- Really?
- Zoe,

cue up the parking lot
security footage

of the van pulling away
from the aquarium.

There.

- The van leaving.
- OK, stop.

Now let me see it
pulling in again.

- What are you seeing?
- There.

300-gallon tank full of water,

that's nearly 2,500 pounds.
The van never gets

any lower. The wheel wells
would've been closer to the tires.

The tank they took was empty.

Leroy never left the facility. Which
means someone over there is lying to us.

Henry,

have any animals left the facility
since the theft of Leroy?

Just Tallulah,

our sea turtle. She's
being transferred to...

Puttner Aquarium, yeah,
I remember Sila told us.

When'd Tallulah's
shipment leave?

This afternoon. The truck
picked up the crate at 3PM,

headed to the airport. - Anything else go with it?
- Six barrels of seawater.

We send enough of the habitat
with the animal

to reduce the shock
at the other end.

That's weird.

This says 7 barrels were loaded,
but we're only sending 6.

Thanks.

OK, thanks. The shipping company
says the driver was asked

to make a last-minute stop
en route to Pearson.

7273 Orbitor Road.

Etherea Industries. What's that?

According to their website,
one of the largest manufacturers

of skincare products in Canada.

Their biggest selling product
is sequoia serum.

In addition to their retail
operations, they have an extensive

research and development
division. "We scour the earth"

"in search of the most
natural sources of...

cell regeneration."

Like a nearly-extinct octopus.

- Whoa.
- What?

You're not gonna believe
who sits on the Etherea Board

of Directors.

- Hold up, boys.
- Can I help you?

We need you to open that barrel.

- I don't take orders from you.
- I told you I'd get it here.

We have to get the truck back
on the road ASAP. Mr. Gusev.

Fancy meeting you here.

What are you doing here?

Did you find Leroy?

I think you found him for us.

- What d'you mean?
- Turns out the theft at the aquarium

was a bit of a red herring. A ruse
to distract from the real crime:

Sneaking Leroy out
with Tallulah's shipment.

It was a clever plan,
actually, hiring thieves

to steal an empty tank

after you had already removed Leroy.
The only problem

was you drained the water to
make it easier to move the tank.

There's no way that van's
carrying 2,500 pounds of water.

This is preposterous.

As preposterous as finding you
here at a cosmetics company

with a truck full of barrels
from the aquarium?

Leroy.

Do you have any idea how...

how valuable a creature
like this is?

You wanted Leroy dead
so you could extract

and replicate the nuclear
membrane thing.

Imagine...

a product that doesn't
just remove wrinkles, it...

actually regenerates new skin.

So exploiting people's vanity is
worth killing off an entire species?

It would take 20 years
to repopulate the species.

A discovery like this
is worth billions.

- Too bad you won't be around to collect.
- Leroy?!

Thank God!

Fred Gusev, you're
under arrest for burglary

in the third degree. Get him.

I can't believe this!

Let's go.

Yeah, what's up?

Sila just called, and Leroy is back
in his habitat, safe and sound.

That's good news.

I'm... about to find out.

Call you tomorrow.

Hey, honey.

- Did you talk to...
- We ended it.

Or I guess he did.

He did?

I know it's for the best,

and it's what I wanted,

but I really didn't think
it was gonna hurt this much.

Like, a lot.

Aw...

No, don't hug me,
I don't wanna cry.

Honey, you just have

to let yourself hurt, OK?

Just... let it out,

and one day
it won't hurt anymore.

That sounds horrible.

Yeah. It is.

Thank you all so much
for coming.

This is a historic
moment at Ripley's.

And with a little help from our
friends from... Down under...

I can't do accents. I don't
know why I attempted that.

Um... I am honored

and privileged to present to you.

Toronto's newest "it" couple,

Leroy and his partner Sally.

With this conjoining,

we are hoping to bring
an exciting species

back into existence.

And to prove to all you
cynics out there that love

does indeed conquer all.

That was amazing.
You were amazing.

Well, it was all thanks to you guys.
Seriously, you two saved me.

Hey, it's what we do.

This is Zoe, our assistant.
Zoe Zoe?

As in Maz's girlfriend?
I've been dying to meet you.

Me too. Intimidated beyond
belief, but dying.

We should all hang out sometime.

Where's Kurtis?

Haven't seen him.

I didn't want to
cramp your style,

so I watched from the back.
You made it.

Fantastic. Of course
I made it, come on!

I wouldn't miss this.

I also brought a plus-one,
I hope that's OK.

- Jordan?
- I'm not trying to interfere,

I was just hoping to maybe
undo some of the damage

I may have done.
Well, thank you.

He's nice, right? Go, go, go.

Hi.
- Hi. - I...

- I got your note.
- OK.

- Um, what is it?
- Well,

it's an octopus

with a boombox. I'm not good at drawing.
Of course it is.

Good job, big brother.

- You were right.
- Come on,

let's get a closer look at these octopuses.
My God, is that a euphemism

for something, or do you really
wanna look at octopuses?

- Guess you'll have to wait and see.
- My God!

We're gonna get
kicked out of here!

Did you know octopuses
have three hearts,

- Everett?
- No.

Poor them. Three times
the heartbreak.

Or three times
the capacity for love.

Ho, ho, ho, ho! Yeah!

Watch an all new Private Eyes,
