Calling to order this meeting

of the Avalon
Birdwatching Association.

Order, everyone!

I will not be
silenced, Meredith.

Not when it comes to my birds!

Need I remind you,
Topher Bouchard-

that the Red Crossbill
is highly endangered?

Technically just
threatened, Patricia.

The destruction of its habitat

is the sole reason

for its decline!

One of the many reasons.

And that Newfoundland

is the only place on Earth

that the percna
subspecies mates-

lays their eggs and
raises their young!

So I will not allow you-

or anyone else

to disturb

or even know the whereabouts
of its nesting colony

on my tract of woodland-

let alone invite you and your

bandwagon of birders from away-

from trampling all over it!

Say hello to the
avian activists.

Two sides to
everything, I guess.

Patricia, please.

Topher's tour members
are our invited guests.

They might be yours, Meredith.

But they're not mine!

And I have always
respected that, Patricia.

I have never stepped
foot on your land.

And yet-

someone's been messing
around in my woods.

And just as the Red
Crossbills are coming

for their six week stay.

And you think that was me?

Frankly, I resent
that accusation.

Well-

whoever it was, Topher Bouchard-

they'd better not try it again-

or I will make them pay!

Patricia!

Hey!

Don't be a sore loser.

Swimming's the only time I
get to beat you at a race.

What have you found?

A hummingbird in Newfoundland!

Good one, Rex.

Birders from around here
would kill to see that.

Okay everyone!

We're nowhere near
Patricia's land.

So we should be fine.

Just stay on the path-

or you might end
up with a soaker!

This is Newfoundland's
glorious marshlands.

Now, I know when people
think Newfoundland birding-

they think gannets and puffins.

But we have our share of
wetland birds as well-

many just passing through.

Here to breed and feed.

Then off again.

I came all this way
to see baby cross bills-

not herons and ducks.

So take us to the colony.

Well I would if I could, but-

Listen.

That's the Red Crossbill!

It's over in that forest!

Oh!

Oh, not so fast, Colin!

Ughh!

That's all I can tell you.

I didn't even want
to be in that marsh.

I can see ducks back in Seattle.

Okay.

-Jesse.
-Yeah.

Hey, just wait with
the rest of the group.

I'll get back to you.

Hey.

Donovan called,
gave me the basics.

Birdwatching tourists
found a body in the marshes

and then drove here?

Yeah, yeah-

terrified that there was
a killer on the loose.

Okay.

Victim's name is Patricia McGee.

She's a local twitcher
in St. John's.

The people that found
her are all chasers.

So what you're saying

is that the victim is
a devoted local birder-

ie. twitcher.

Whereas-

all these people have
come a long distance

hoping to see interesting birds?

Yeah.

Are you into birding, Mark?

No, I did a crash
course on the drive in.

Just like you.

I didn't do that.

What have you discovered so far?

Well-

Skyler Jenkins-

came all the way
to St. John's

to see the baby Red Crossbills
and feels ripped off.

Well, that's fascinating,
but maybe not pertinent?

And Colin Crawford.

He found the body.

He's new to birding.

Flew in about a week ago.

Any previous connection
to the victim?

Only peripherally.

Skyler and Colin
attended a meeting

of the Avalon
Birdwatchers Association

three days ago, where the

tour operator over
there, Topher Bouchard

got into an argument
with the victim.

Pertaining to-?

Patricia accused him
of trespassing on land

that she owned

in search of the Red
Crossbills' nesting colony-

the exact location of which

she would divulge to no one.

And was he trespassing
this morning?

No no, the marsh is public land.

Her land is west of there.

And her house is very
close to the crime scene.

Get contact info for
the people here.

Then release them.

But hold Colin and Topher back.

I want to check in

with Sarah before
I interview them.

Okay.

Rex.

By the way, he's, uh-

He's a real dude.

A casual but committed birder!

Very nice, Mark.

I really have to up my game

in the obscure
information department.

Rex and I are en
route to the crime scene.

Sarah, are you still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

See you soon.

The victim was found prone

here on the ground-

apparently strangled with
her own binocular strap.

But I'll confirm
the cause of death.

So whoever killed her
didn't bring a weapon.

Suggests the attack
may have been random.

Spontaneous.

Staged to appear as such.

No cell phone found.

But her wallet wasn't taken.

No assault other
than the obvious.

Oof.

Yeah.

I'll check the body
for foreign DNA.

Have you determined

a time of death?

Uh, no more than 12 hours.

I'll be more exact

after the autopsy today.

What was she doing
here by the pond?

Was she meeting someone?

Did she often
bird watch here alone?

What have you got there, Rex?

Oh, something in the hair.

A bird feather?

Small.

It's red.

Yeah, it could be
the Red Crossbill.

You can identify a
bird off one feather?

No, I can make a wild guess

from an argument that the
victim had just a few days ago.

Oh, people argue about birds?

What don't they argue about?

Rex is certainly
interested in that.

Well, if Rex thinks
it's significant-

then maybe it is.

Thanks for waiting, Colin.

Oh, no problem.

You good?

Uh, sorry.

Still a little shaken.

I came to Newfoundland
to spot birds.

Not bodies.

I just have a few questions.

Now, you witnessed an argument

between the victim
and your tour guide.

Topher.

Yeah.

I mean, I only took up birding
recently when I retired.

But it seemed a pretty
common point of contention.

And what is that?

People who want to shelter birds
from any human interference-

versus those who want to bring

more and more
people to see them.

And the argument got heated?

Yeah.

But she threatened him.

Not the other way around.

Hmm.

You don't think
Topher was involved?

It's too early to say.

I'm just asking some
routine questions.

I mean, he has seemed really
tense the past few days.

But running a fledgling
business is really hard.

Pardon the pun.

Uh-fledgling.

Right.

You said

you took up the
hobby when you retired.

You, uh-

You seem a little
young for that.

Oh, I made a killing
in tech stocks.

-Oh.
-I'm still trying

to figure out what
to do with my time.

Well hopefully this
hasn't scared you off.

No, no.

I'll stick it out.

Sorry about this.

I know this can't
be great for business.

Half the tour is
talking about leaving!

Requesting refunds!

This sort of thing just
doesn't happen here!

Terrible things happen
everywhere, unfortunately.

How long did you know
the victim, Topher?

A little over five years
since I started the business.

Joined the local birding club.

Where you argued with
the victim just days ago.

Patricia picked
fights with everyone.

She was nuts

about hoarding the Red
Crossbill all to herself.

She accused me of trespassing!

And did you?

No.

Never!

I'm not even exactly
sure where her land is-

let alone bring people onto it.

But you'd like to, I assume.

You must be under a lot
of pressure to get your clients

access to rare birds.

Especially when they've
flown so far to see them.

Are you suggesting I might
have something to do with this?

If I did-

why would I bring my tour
group to find the body?

That's a good question.

Yeah.

Where were you
last night, Topher?

Seriously?

Oh, yeah.

Very.

I had a drink at the motel
where the tour is staying.

And then went up to my room
to plan the next day's events.

Can anyone corroborate that?

No.

But what could I

possibly have to gain
from killing Patricia?

Well, that's a
good question too.

Find out

what you can about
this Topher character.

He got defensive
straight out of the gate.

See if he has a record-

financial situation,
general background.

Yeah, will do.

Run a quick check
on the tour group too.

Just-you know, routine stuff.

Have we identified next of kin?

Well, there's no
existing family.

But her husband, Jedediah McGee-

is listed as her
sole beneficiary.

I haven't been
able to locate him.

Oh, they weren't
together anymore?

No one on the
island by that name.

What about close friends?

I mean, they might
know where he is.

And if Patricia was having
trouble with anyone-

felt threatened-

Well, there's Meredith Legrow.

She's waiting at
Patricia's house with Joe.

She's an old friend-

and president of the
Birders Association.

She had a key.

Well, I guess what
they say is true.

Birds of a feather
unlock together.

Mark, are you stealing my vibe?

I'm moving in on you, Jesse.

Moving in on you.

Don't like that.

What a horrible,
horrible thing to happen.

I don't think I'll ever feel
safe in the marsh again.

Neither of us thought twice

about going in there alone.

You knew Patricia a long time?

Since we were girls.

We grew up together.

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

You don't think someone she
knew could have done this?

Well, we have to look
at all possibilities.

It seems that she could be-

contentious?

An understatement-

I'm sorry to say.

But Patty wasn't
always so prickly.

She just got her heart
broken so young.

How's that?

She was married briefly-

when she was barely 20.

To a man named Jedediah?

He was the one who first
got us all into birding.

Encouraged her to spend every
dime that she inherited

to buy that land.

And then he just
disappeared one day.

Disappeared?

Said he had

something to take care
of and never returned.

She waited-

and waited.

She still has him listed as
a beneficiary in her will.

Not that there's
much to inherit.

Rumour is she was struggling
just to hold on to the house.

So why didn't she sell the land?

It must have been
worth something.

Patricia would rather die
than betray her birds.

Come with me.

I'll let you into her house.

Birds.

Birds.

Birds.

It's a sad story, really.

I mean, I love golf.

But I'm not building
a shrine to it.

I don't know, you have
to admire her dedication.

Put her money where
her mouth was.

Did everything she could

to protect a threatened species.

Yeah, and never forget
the love of her life.

Oh.

Yeah, they look happy there.

That must be a young Jedediah.

No computer.

No cell phone on the body.

She was old school.

Yeah, well I can't find anything

that indicates she was
planning to meet someone

or had been threatened
in any way.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Look like old journals.

Looks like she kept
a diary of her life.

What've you got there, Rex?

What is it?

Hey is that what you see, Rex?

It says Red Crossbill nest.

Well, that's the bird that
Patricia was arguing about-

and trying to protect.

What's this?

Wow-is that a real ruby?

Why would somebody who's
struggling to pay their bills

have something like this?

And is there more
where this came from?

Ughh!

That is quite the ruby.

Look.

If it's real-

it's worth a fortune.

But where did it come from?

And why wouldn't
Patricia sell it

if she was really struggling?

Why was she storing it
in a Red Crossbill nest-?

The bird that she
was arguing about-

that nests on her land-

and left a feather in her hair?

I've got a meeting

with a local jeweller in town

later today-

just to check on the value-

and also to keep it safe

until we found out
about her heir.

Okay I'm still searching
for Jedidiah McGee.

I'm going to take

this wedding photo

and run it through
facial recognition.

Let me know what you find out.

Also I've been looking
into the bird tourists-

including the man
that found the body.

There's nothing
unusual or suspicious

about them.

And Topher?

Well-

it seems that his business
is hanging on by a thread.

But there's no record.

And as he said, he had a
drink with the tour group.

Then he told them
he was heading in

for the evening.

But no one will vouch for him.

There was Skyler, the
disappointed chaser.

She said she's pretty sure she
saw him headed into his room.

But that was about it.

And what do we know about her?

Well, she works for her
parents' development company.

Got into birding when
it became popular online.

Hashtag trendy.

So that makes Topher
our top suspect.

But what I don't understand

is why someone would kill
just to look at some birds.

It must be more than that.

I'm going to head over to
the provincial land registry.

I want to know exactly
where Patricia's land was.

Something's nagging at you.

Maybe it's the birder mania

that's rubbing off on me.

I looked it up.

Red Crossbills like to raise
their young in mature forests.

Right now, this time of year.

And only for a few weeks.

So-?

So why was a twitcher
like Patricia

wasting her time in a marsh?

Why was she looking
at ducks when she

should have been spending all
her time with the cross bills?

I think you're right.

I think you've
caught bird mania.

Blame Rex.

Sarah's got the autopsy results.

Let's go.

Sarah, what have we got?

Hey.

Yeah, okay.

So time of death.

10 to 12 hours before
the body was discovered.

Cause of death also is presumed

victim died of strangulation.

Now, I did find foreign
DNA on the binocular strap.

It's trace, but it's there.

Well, that's great news.

Have you run it through
the national database?

That is the bad news.

There was no match, but
I'm widening the search.

Also-

the birdsong

Rex heard was, in fact, from the

rare Red Crossbill.

As was the feather

from her hair.

Well, I guess that makes me
some kind of expert after all.

Patricia's body showed
clear signs of lividity.

Posthumous pooling of the blood?

Exactly.

But the discolouration

was on the posterior thorax.

On her back.

Yeah.

But Patricia was
found face down.

I know.

The blood should
have pooled anteriorly.

So the lividity is off.

She was found in a marsh

when any sane birder
would be in the woods.

And Rex found a Red Crossbill
feather in her hair

when she was nowhere
near their nesting site.

The body was moved.

Moved.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But from where?

And why?

Well maybe she
wasn't the only one

who wanted to keep people
away from their nesting site.

Maybe they didn't
want anyone to see

where she'd actually
been murdered.

Maybe I can find some
answers at the land registry.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Oh!

Detective!

Meredith!

What can I do to help?

Definitely a real gemstone,

No doubt about that.

So it's a ruby, then.

Oh-

and one of exceptional quality.

Burmese.

Remarkable clarity.

And its colour is the
purest pigeon blood red.

Pigeon blood?

That's ironic.

How's that?

Well, the house
where we found it

was once owned by a
lifelong birdwatcher.

One with deep pockets, I assume?

Why do you say that?

How much would you estimate
that this ring is worth?

Judging the gem's weight-

between four and five carats-

on the right day with
the right buyers-

I'd expect this ring to sell for
at least two million dollars.

Well, I guess I'll
be requesting backup

to get this pigeon
back to the roost, huh?

Sorry I didn't mention to you
that I worked at the registry.

Well, I'm not sure
why you would.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm just glad to help.

Yeah.

Though I'm not sure
how an outline

of her property will
help you find a killer.

I'm just getting
the lay of the land.

-Ah.
-Yeah.

Well.

Here it is.

Patricia owned

all of this area here.

Is this survey hand-drawn?

Newfoundland has a unique
land registry situation.

The original settlers were
breaking international treaties

by overwintering

when it was indeed
a new found land.

So anyone who did settle
was simply squatting.

Just claiming the
land for their own-

building on it with no deed.

Exactly.

This led to generations
of families

settling squatting rights
over kitchen tables-

drawing out the
boundaries themselves.

And this list here is tracking

who claimed it-

when and who they
passed it on to?

Exactly.

Okay.

Oh!

I never noticed that before!

Noticed what?

The man Patricia
bought the land from-

Lester Zimmer.

He was a well-known sleeveen

especially when it
came to land transfer.

I'm assuming by
sleeveen, you mean a-

A man with a less than
reputable character.

Zimmer was known
for selling land

that he didn't actually
have claim to.

So you're saying Patricia
may not have even owned

the land that she
vowed to protect?

Though I'm not sure how that

could have led to
someone killing her.

It's just-

interesting.

I think we're in trouble.

You have to do something!

Two million dollars-

just sitting on top of a shelf

in a bird's nest.

I mean, still, it could have
been passed down to her.

And she kept it, having no
idea what it was worth.

Yeah, but she put it in
a Red Crossbill's nest.

I mean, there has to be
some significance to that.

Yeah I know, Rex.

We're missing something.

I just got a hit on the DNA
found on the binocular strap.

Jedediah Harris.

Jedediah-?

-Harris, but not McGee?
-Yeah.

Uh, is there a photo?

I sent Jesse his
Coast Guard records.

Oh.

Yeah, apparently he went AWOL.

Okay, coming right up.

Yeah, can you throw up a picture

of Patricia's wedding
photo as well?

Yeah, you got it.

Here.

That's the same Jedediah-

all right.

Wait, that means-

The DNA found
on the murder weapon

belongs to none other than

Patricia's long lost husband.

If Jedediah has returned

after all these years-

where is he now?

Guys, I put out

a BOLO on Jedediah

using the age-adjusted image.

I t won't be 100% accurate.

But it's a start.

He looks like every
tourist on this island.

And half the islanders.

Yeah, and comparing it

with passenger arrivals-

no hits.

Photo progression
is far from reliable.

Yeah, this is
basically AI's version

of a wild guess.

So basically, we're looking for
a 45-year-old Caucasian male

who may look like
our average Joe

and could have already fled
the island for all we know.

But who came back 25 years later

to kill his estranged wife.

Why?

Well, he's listed as the
sole beneficiary on her will.

Could it be he's after the land?

Maybe he knew about
the ruby ring.

Killed her to inherit that.

I mean, it's all got
to be interconnected.

But everything goes back
to that Red Crossbill.

We need to find that
nesting site soon.

Yeah, see where
Patricia was actually killed

and why she was moved.

Analyze that site.

And I'm going to
look more into this ring.

A ruby of this size has
got to have some history.

Meanwhile, Rex and I are going
to get set for that bird hunt

tomorrow.

Not that I

have any doubt that Rex will
lead you to the nesting colony-

but, hey, should we put
you to the test first?

Rex can pinpoint
and track birdsong

better than humans

for a lot of really
cool reasons.

Dogs hear more
frequencies, right?

Yes, exactly.

Especially higher frequencies.

So we can hear up to 20,000Hz.

Okay.

While dogs can
hear up to 40,000.

Wow.

Yeah, that's incredible.

So when Rex hears the birdsong-

he might be hearing
additional notes that are

way out of our range.

Exactly.

And his remarkable
hearing doesn't end there-

because dogs possess this
complex system of at least

18 muscles in each ear canal

enabling them to independently
move, tilt, rotate-

and adjust their ears to better
capture and locate sounds.

So not only can Rex hear
the Red Crossbill song

better than I can.

He can hear more of it

from a further distance, and-

he can track you directly there.

I think we're all
set for tomorrow.

Joe, what are you doing here?

It's an hour before shift!

Uh, I never left.

I just grabbed a couple
of hours on the couch.

And signed out all these
old evidence boxes?

Yeah, yeah I had my coat on.

And then I remembered
an old jewellery heist

from back when I was a rookie.

It was hard to find
the information.

But you know what?

Check this out.

Wait, did you figure out

how to put the
images on the board?

Sort of.

Uh-

Oh, here it is.

It's Patricia's ring.

Yeah, it was stolen

from the jeweller where
I had the ring appraised-

but three owners ago.

And, we have-

a suspect.

His name is Leo Stiles.

We picked him up

two days after the heist

trying to flee the
island by ferry.

He was held, questioned,
but never arrested.

So therefore, no mugshot.

Exactly.

He was extradited back
to the United States

on old warrants.

But the jewels from the heist-

never found.

Huh.

Okay, so you're thinking-

You're thinking that Leo

is actually Patricia's
husband under a false name.

And the reason why
he disappeared

is because he was extradited?

You are reading my mind.

He was released, returned-

came to claim the jewels

and then maybe Patricia
got in his way.

Okay.

I'll call the prison
where he was incarcerated.

See if they can send over
an image, if he was released.

No, I'm one step ahead of you-

young detective.

See, the thing is, he was
extradited back to California.

It's still the middle
of the night there.

So we may need to wait
on that information.

Now Joe's stealing my mojo.

Mo-Joe!

Okay, Rex.

So we're just going to
follow that birdsong-

to find their nesting site.

Seems doable.

But I, uh-

yeah, I have a feeling-

that I'm not hearing-

what you're hearing.

Clever boy.

Okay.

What do you have there?

A bird's nest, and-

shotgun shells.

Get him!

Go!

Go!

Rex!

Easy, boy.

Let him go.

No plates on the truck.

No-white.

Nondescript.

So no one was actually
shooting at you?

No, shotgun fire
was at a distance.

It's possible it
wasn't even connected

to the shells that I
found on the ground-

or the guy who fled.

Or it could have been
Jedidiah and an accomplice.

You guys are going
to need backup

if you plan on going
out there again.

The more people, the more
noise, the more targets.

I was trained to track

in dense brush in
the military, Joe.

Stealth is your best friend.

That and a dog.

First I need to add
a bit more intel.

I'm meeting up with
Sarah, get her insights-

see if we can track this
killer out of the bush

before we head back in.

Okay?

It appears to be
a Red Crossbill's nest.

The cup-like shape and
the colour of the eggs.

I'll do a DNA test,
to be certain.

Why would Jedidiah-

or anyone be
shooting down nests?

To silence the birds, perhaps.

You and Rex were tracking
their nesting area

via their birdsong.

Right to the edge of the
colony, by the looks of it.

So get rid of the birds,
you get rid of their song.

Yeah, and stop anyone from
finding their nesting site.

People-

or police.

Now, it's odd to find

a survey spike on her land.

By all accounts, Patricia
was never going to sell.

So maybe someone needed her dead

before they could
close the deal.

Someone like her husband-

getting ready to sell
after he inherits?

Well, let's see what
Torbay Surveyors

has to say about that.

Thanks, Sarah.

Come on, Rex.

Joe, hey.

Prison in California
got back to us.

Sent us an image of Leo Stiles-

the suspect in the old
jewellery robbery.

That's definitely not
Patricia's husband.

Damn, I really thought
I was on to something.

Well Joe, you still might be-

because I combed through
Patricia's journals-

the ones that you had
booked into evidence-

and found the exact date
that Jedediah disappeared.

And-?

It was two days after
the jewellery robbery.

Said he had to take
care of something.

Then he gave her a red
ring before he left.

There's definitely a connection.

That is great work.

Well done, Jesse.

Yes-I'm reclaiming my vibe!

Sorry-what?

What did you say?

Okay look, we need to
contact the prison again

and see if we can set up an
interview with Leo Stiles.

Uh-no can do.

He passed away a month ago.

Oh, it seems like
it's one step forward-

two steps back with this case.

All right.

We still contact the prison.

We see if there's someone
that we can talk to.

Someone who knew
this man well, okay?

After 25 years in there-

he's got to have spoken to
somebody about the robbery.

Someone-

who can lead us to Jedediah.

I couldn't find anything.

Maybe the police
already have it?

I need to see you.

Where can we meet?

You know, it's illegal

to remove an official
survey spike?

Well, I'm a police officer
investigating a homicide.

I think it's okay.

Well, I don't feel comfortable

divulging confidential
client information.

Oh, really?

Was it the owner
of the property-

the murder victim-who hired
you to survey her land?

No.

No.

So you were, in
fact, trespassing

when someone else hired you.

Weren't you just mentioning
the legalities of surveys?

Listen, they talked me into it.

They said there
was some question

about who owned the land anyway.

That they were going to
fight for ownership in court.

Yeah, I don't need excuses.

I need a name.

Oh, Detective!

Uh-make any headway
on the investigation?

Ah, these things take time.

Just here to ask a
few more questions.

How can I help?

Oh, no, the questions
are not for you.

The questions are for Topher!

Hey.

What was that about?

I don't know.

As I recall-

you said you didn't even know

where Patricia's land was.

I was nervous.

Okay?

Patricia and I just had
a very public argument

right before she was killed.

I also remember you asking

if you had killed her-

why you would bring your
tour group to find her.

It doesn't make any sense.

Unless you were working
with someone else.

Have you been in contact with
Patricia's husband, Jedediah?

Who?

No!

Did he offer to sell you
the land if you helped him?

Agree

to find Patricia's body?

Okay, this is insanity.

Because we, uh-

We suspect that Patricia
was killed on her own land

protecting the Red Crossbills.

And whoever killed her

didn't want a search party
coming through there.

Who would go to that extent
to hide a bunch of birds?

But it was you running
through the woods yesterday.

Didn't you drive away

in that white pickup

over there?

That was you!

I thought I was being chased
by some maniac with a shotgun.

Look.

I'll admit-

I was trying to get
Patricia's land.

I was in the woods
to get those spikes

so I wouldn't be implicated.

But I did not kill Patricia.

And I am not
working with anyone.

Mm-hmm.

Who are you hiding, Topher?

Is Jedediah in here?

I have never met

a Jedediah in my life.

I have.

But I swear I haven't
seen him in over 25 years.

So tell me if I've
got this straight.

You two were plotting
to falsely claim

that Patricia really
didn't own her own land-

so you could pressure
her into selling

before she lost it outright?

It was for her own good.

She was going to lose the house.

And I knew her birds
would be safe with Topher.

I want to open up a
bird sanctuary with

boardwalks going through

so people can see
the Red Crossbills

and fight to protect them.

And make some money
along the way.

Well, commerce is not a crime.

But fraud is.

And now we've found out that you

entered Patricia's
house illegally.

A neighbour called in.

I told her not to go.

I was just looking
for the letter I'd sent

claiming the title

was under review.

Are you sure you weren't
looking for this?

That's the ring
Jedidiah gave Patricia

the day he left.

Were you aware that Jedidiah was
involved in a jewellery heist

just days before?

I had no idea.

Are you saying
this thing is real?

How could it be?

He gave it to her
in a cross bill nest.

Like a sweet joke or a riddle.

Which she kept there
till her dying day.

The cross bill colony
was very special to them.

Their secret place that
only they could find.

So even you haven't been there?

I tried-

trespassing a couple of times-

just following the birdsong.

But-

the bush is just so dense.

And after the birds are
gone and the song stops-

I don't know why you'd bother-

Well, without
the song to guide you

it would be next to impossible
to find where they nest.

Even for Jedidiah,
after 25 years.

You don't think
he's involved in this?

After all this time?

We have evidence that
strongly suggests he was.

Even after he left her, I-

always believed in their love.

To think she might
have died at his hand.

You think the jewels are hidden
where the cross bills nest?

That's exactly what I think.

Yeah.

Jedediah and Leo robbed
the jewellery store-

then hid the jewels where
only they could find them

and then planned on returning
when the heat was off.

Yeah, but Leo was caught
and died in prison.

And then when he
finally returned-

Patricia surprised him.

Wrong place, wrong time.

But when the birds are nesting

is the only time you
can find that spot.

I mean, they were destined
to stumble on each other.

Yeah.

And she was destined to be
on the wrong side of that.

Which, I guess, sounds good.

But why is Jedediah
still out there-

shooting down nests-

silencing birds so no one
can track them to the site?

Presumably-

he knew exactly where
the jewels were hidden.

So why not

just return, take them and run?

And why take so long to get
them back in the first place?

Hey, guys.

You're going to want to
get in on this telecall.

I got Leo's long-
time prison guard

calling in from the States.

Okay.

Let's get Sarah too.

Leo was an old head even when
I first started work here.

Meaning he's been in
prison a long time.

25 years, by the time he died.

Spent his days talking
about the heists he pulled.

He knew he was going to die
in here, so why not brag?

Did he ever mention a jewellery
heist in Newfoundland, Canada?

Or a partner named Jedidiah?

I'm not sure.

I know he claimed to have
a stash of loot somewhere-

hidden where no
one could find it.

Did he leave any
journals behind?

Letters from the outside?

No, nothing like that.

You know, it's too bad you
didn't call a few weeks ago.

His cellmate was just released.

Yeah, Bradley spent a
couple of years with Leo.

Probably heard every
story a million times.

Okay, well-

if you send over
Bradley's record-

we might be able
to track him down.

Absolutely.

Will do.

But be careful.

Bradley Hoffman
seems nice enough.

But he's a stone-cold killer.

Got out on a technicality
after his third appeal.

Thanks.

Here's Bradley's record.

That's Colin Crawford-

the birder who
found Patricia's body.

Find him.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll check in with
the motel- and Topher.

He's been released.

We need to move
into that forest.

It's miles of thick brush.

Can the tactical unit get
us that kind of coverage?

We don't need tactical.

Right, right.

All we need is
stealth and a dog.

There could be
two of them out there, Mark.

Jedediah's DNA was
on the murder weapon.

He's connected somehow.

Well then we bring him in too.

We spook them-

they could disappear
into those woods-

and we never bring them in.

Tactical's there.

They will stay 20 yards back.

It's the final answer.

Okay.

Come on, Rex.

All right.

Just hold here.

And wait for my signal.

Come on, Rex.

Let's find this guy

before he brings down
any more cross bills.

Well, someone's looking
for something, all right.

We've got to be close.

What is it, Rex?

Who's your friend?

I think we might
have found Jedediah.

I guess his partner didn't
want to split the loot.

Easy, easy.

Stealth.

You want to take him,
or shall I take him?

Shut up or I'll shut you up!

Okay, sure.

Ughh!

Shots fired!

Team one, proceed with caution.

You looking for something
down there, Colin?

Or should I call you Brad?

Who's identity did you steal-?

You know-

along with all
your other crimes?

I'm just out here
searching for birds.

Oh, is that right?

Okay, okay.

But you've been
here before, yes?

You came looking for the jewels.

But all you found was Jedediah.

Did Patricia come
across you the same day

that you stumbled
on Jedediah's remains?

Hmm?

Is that why you killed her?

What are you doing here?

You!

And then-

moved the body

to try and protect the
location of the jewels

while you continued to search?

A man would nearly kill himself-

pulling that much weight
through the brush.

You're a determined man though.

Right?

I think you're looking in the
wrong place, to be honest.

How's that?

Jedidiah gave Patricia
a ring after the heist.

Put it in a Red Crossbill nest.

I think a little bird just told
me where to find the stash.

Well someone's getting
steak dinner tonight!

Well, it turns out there were
three million dollars worth

of jewels in the
cross bills' nest-

not including the ring.

More importantly, Colin-

aka Brad-

is back behind bars
where he belongs.

Well Sarah had mentioned

that Jedidiah's DNA was found

all over the gloves

at the crime scene.

It's a miracle

that the sample on the bino
strap hadn't been degraded.

Yeah, it's like Jedidiah

was literally getting his
revenge from the grave.

He and Patricia are going to be

laid to rest together.

I think they'd appreciate that.

The land-

is going to be turned
into a sanctuary-

just like Patricia wanted.

Yeah, well I'm just glad that
the Red Crossbills are safe-

and that you and Rex now have
a little patch to dip into.

You'd better get your
bins ready for this lifer.

I can't even pretend-

I have no idea
what you just said.

Got it back.

All right, who's
ready for dinner?

Well Sarah and Donovan
will be here any minute.

What are we having?

Roast duck.

Just kidding, twitchers.

It's steak.

Rex!

Oh, nice catch!
