(FIREMEN SHOUTING)

(SIRENS BLARING)

MICHEAL: After closing
at 4 AM on April 13th,

an inferno raged through
Tropiks Nightclub.

Before then,

the building was in good shape.

No faulty wiring.

Gas lines; intact.

No reason it should erupt
suddenly and furiously

unless by design.

The nightclub's owner,
Mr. Gene Powell here

stands accused of two charges.

Arson for Fraudulent Purpose.

Arson

with Disregard for Human Life.

I called 911 after I saw the smoke

but before the
firefighters could arrive,

Mr. Powell came out,

just stood there and watched it burn.

The defendant will suggest he is

simply the victim of a random attack.

Yet,

with so much to lose,

he had so much to gain.

My Financial Crimes Unit

noted frequent inconsistencies
in Mr. Powell's books

to the tune of $1.2
million in back taxes.

The insurance payout
for the nightclub fire

is about double that amount.

Backed into a corner,

Mr. Powell set that fire deliberately.

There is only one victim here,

the man who perished in that inferno.

And that man deserves
justice here today.

Dr. Truong, could you please
tell the jury what your team found

when the fire was finally extinguished?

Components of accelerant bombs

were scattered around the nightclub.

A concoction of volatile
chemicals and aluminum shavings.

Along with some heavily
burnt human remains.

Now, were you able to
identify the victim?

I'm sure there's a family out there

that would like Mr. Powell answer

for his crime.

Unfortunately I can't
provide that for them.

The few uncorrupted DNA
indicators we were able pull

were insufficient to
match to any one person

in our DNA database.

And why is that, Dr. Truong?

The accelerant bomb used in this blaze

was designed to burn
for as long as possible.

So, the body was essentially cremated.

Thank you, Dr. Truong.

(OBSERVERS WHISPER)

Your record precedes you.

Years of experience
as Chief of Forensics.

A role with the Major Crimes Unit.

Yes, that's all correct.

And a good working relationship
with the Crown Attorney.

In fact, weren't you at
one time involved intimately

- with Mr. Billinger?
- Objection, relevance!

Sustained.

Has Mr. Billinger ever asked you
to alter your findings, Doctor?

JUDGE: You're treading into
dangerous waters, Ms. Creehan.

Where are you going with this?

Just trying to establish why
an experienced forensic analyst

- failed to identify the body.
- Objection, Your Honour!

I withdraw.

No further questions, Your Honour.

The defense calls Dr.
Reva Warner to the stand.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Dr. Warner.

You've been a senior associate

at Sutherland & Schmidt
Forensics for how long?

Eight years and counting.

AVERY: I appreciate your expert insight

as an independent source.

You had access to the evidence.

Did you come to any
different conclusions?

I can't understand why Dr. Truong
wasn't able to identify the body.

He practically walked up
and introduced himself to me.

Would you mind introducing
this court to him too?

Meet...

David Gallo.

Public records state he was
recently released from prison

on an arson charge.

So, at this fire,

which the defendant supposedly set,

there was a master
arsonist on the scene?

Well, master is a strong word.

He did burn himself up after all.

(JURY LAUGHS)

(JUDGE BANGS GAVEL) Order.

_

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

(UPBEAT THEME MUSIC)

MICHAEL: Judge Costa agreed
to adjourn for the weekend

but I'm still going to
need a miracle by Monday.

Well, what do you want
us to do about that?

It's not a Major Crimes case.

CHARLIE: Yeah. I thought you
had Financial Crimes handling this?

MICHAEL: Yeah, I thought
they had enough to convict

but I was relying on
Sarah's testimony to seal it

before Reva's little surprise.

SARAH: Hold on. I was
thorough and by the book on this.

Thorough wasn't enough to get results.

It would've been helpful
to know that we had

an arsonist on our hands ahead of time.

It should've been impossible

to pull uncompromised
DNA from those remains.

And we tried to identify the victim

with the Missing Persons Database.

There was nothing to tie
this to Gallo until now.

DONOVAN: So, even if
Gallo did set the fires,

how do we know that he
wasn't hired by Powell?

Proving that is my only
shot at a conviction.

I need Major Crimes' fresh eyes

- and Rex's nose on this now.
- (REX BARKS)

What if we can't prove it by Monday?

Then a guilty man goes free.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

CHARLIE: Sarah. You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

(REX WHINES)

Ah, you can lie to me.
You can't lie to Rex.

- (REX MOANS)
- And I mean, what do we even know

about this so-called expert witness?

Defense could have gotten one
of those liar-for-hire types.

That's the part that worries me.

In my past experience,
Reva's always been credible.

Warner? Reva Warner? You know her?

Yeah, we were in the same
graduating year at university.

She and I were always
neck-in-neck for top of the class.

Why does that name
sound so, familiar to me?

She's the bestselling true crime author.

She does those

Forensic Scientist Debunks Hollywood
Movies videos on Youtube.

(REX GROANS)

It's pretty tacky.

I mean a good scientist maybe

but she's just always
been a real spotlight hog.

Okay. Cancel your weekend plans.

We're taking the case.

With a possible ID on the body,

we have an obligation
to investigate this.

Sarah.

I'm sure you did your
due diligence but still.

No, it's okay. I just have to

figure out how I missed this.

- (SARAH SIGHS)
- (REX WHINES)

Superintendent Lewis.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- The pleasure's all mine.

You know, this David Gallo thing

is really throwing a
spanner in the works.

Yeah. Yeah, sure is.

I'm sure we can still get Powell

if we put our heads together.

I'm glad you agree.

Which is why I need your
team to send the case files

to Major Crimes as soon as possible.

It'd be a lot easier if your
team came to Financial Crimes.

My team's already briefed.

Well, your team did all they could.

And a great job at that, but,

you know, the Crown Prosecutor's
just asked Major Crimes

to take this across the finish line.

I see what you're doing here.

And it's not going to work.

This is time sensitive.

This is so Major Crimes
is better equipped

to deal with an arson
investigation. This...

It's not personal.

Of course.

Purely professional.

I'll have my boys bring over the files.

Best of luck.

David Gallo.

He spent five years in Her Majesty's Pen

for burning down a
heritage building downtown.

Yeah, I remember that case.

A developer wanted the land cleared

and couldn't tear it down legally.

SARAH: I've got the Marshall's
report from that fire.

It's the same MO.

Another aluminum
shaving accelerant bomb.

How did we not catch
that connection before?

Well, David's name never turned
up in the initial investigation

because all signs pointed to Gene.

And a warrant for his arrest
only came out earlier this month

when he failed to check
in to his parole office.

Ma'am. Excuse me, what are those?

Those aren't digitized.

Do you have any idea how long these
are going to take to sift through?

I take it Superintendent
Lewis wasn't happy

we were taking over her case?

I think this is her idea of a joke.

What are we looking for in here anyway?

Anything that proves that Gene
paid David to set that fire.

Strange cash flow. Employment records.

Anything, Jesse.

Anything?

Yeah, I do not envy your day today.

You're not helping?

Uh, wish we could but Rex and I have a

date with a parole officer.

Rex, come on, pal.

Can you bring me something
caffeinated on your way back, please?

(SHIP HORN BLOWING)

(CAR ENGINE ROARING)

Hello, cutie.

You don't look like you're checking in.

Officer Lyddon?

Detective Hudson. This
is my partner, Rex.

We're here about David Gallo.

Oh, you mean the son of a bitch

- who got me on the Wall of Shame?
- Wall of Shame?

He was the first parolee
to slip through my fingers.

Guess he turned up somewhere?

Unfortunately, yes. His body
was identified in a fire.

Do you know if he had
any associations with Gene Powell?

Or maybe with the nightclub Tropiks?

Not that I know of.

Drinking was against
the terms of his parole.

Well, it is possible
that he slipped back into arson.

Was there any indication of
that in your last check-in?

He'd be spitting in my face if he did.

I helped him get a job at an auto shop.

Even moved him out of the
halfway house into his own place.

I'm going to need his address.

(HORN HONKING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SOFT POP MUSIC)

God, what has it been?

- Ten years?
- Just about!

You've done very well
for yourself since then.

All luck.

If I hadn't landed that internship

at Sutherland & Schmidt
right after graduation...

You were up for the
same job, weren't you?

I mean it's so, long
ago now. I'm not sure.

Well, who knows? If things
had gone differently,

maybe you'd be the one meeting me

at some outpost city like this.

Well, St. John's is not Toronto

but it's certainly no outpost.

But your facilities can't be great here.

How do you mean?

Well, with better equipment,

maybe you would've pulled some
workable DNA off that body.

You know, that's actually what
I wanted to talk about. Um...

I don't understand how you
were able to pull an ID.

Those bones were fully calcined.

Well, when you have tissue that damaged,

the only solution is
mitochondrial testing.

We were in the same Forensics
402 class. Thank you.

It's just that results from my
test were totally inconclusive.

It must be hard to do
your best work here.

Cops and lawyers always breathing
down your neck for a conviction.

Convictions don't drive my forensics.

The evidence I collect
drives the theory.

Not the other way around.

Actually, I heard a dog runs
the investigations in this town.

I mean, is that true?

No.

No, Rex is a part of the team, yes,

- but he's a highly trained...
- Sarah.

Listen to yourself.

Picking up after a
dog. It is beneath you.

God, what do you use?

Doggie bags to collect your evidence?

Just tell me how you
got those results, Reva.

It's not complicated.

I tested what they gave me.

The science speaks for itself,

if you're thorough.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

- CHARLIE: Good morning.
- Good morning, Charlie.

Sarah. I thought you could use a coffee.

What is all... ?

Or you can have it.

What is all this?

I've pulled exhibits
from the courthouse.

We're testing the remains again.

Does this mean that
you believe Reva now?

It means it's possible.

So, we're going to try
to replicate her results.

Retesting a hypothesis is a crucial part

of the scientific method, after all.

Did Reva get into your head last night?

Absolutely not.

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(REX BARKS)

(REX BARKS)

(REX SNIFFING)

What is it, pal?

- (REX BARKING)
- What?

(REX WHINES)

(REX BARKING)

SARAH: It should just be metal fragments

collected from the fire.

CHARLIE: Looks like some
kind of circuit board?

I'll take it down to Jesse.
See what he comes up with.

Okay.

Nice work, Rex.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just um... (CLEARS THROAT)

having a tough week, or something.

Science isn't fickle.

If there's something that
we missed in all of this,

we'll find it now.

I hope so.

(DOOR LOCK BEEPS)

Jesse.

- (REX WHINES)
- Yeah.

Whoa. You doing all right?

I have been drowning in
spreadsheets for several hours.

CHARLIE: Any idea what those are?

JESSE: Huh.

These are in bad shape. But...

they look like super-conductor chips.

You want to explain
that to the rest of us

who don't crack open our
cellphones for fun?

I did that one time and
it was very educational.

These are in everything.

Cellphones, minivans. Gaming consoles.

Anything with computing powers.

Are they valuable?

Oh, they're worth their weight in gold.

I mean there's a global
shortage right now.

What is a nightclub
owner doing with them?

Do you have any transactions
that would explain

how Gene could've gotten
his hands on those?

JESSE: No, here's the thing.

I went through Financial
Crimes files on Gene

and I just can't make
sense of any of it.

I have trouble with
Excel spreadsheets too.

JESSE: Not that. For one,

this guy has more money
coming in than going out.

Okay? There's no sign of any withdrawal

to pay David the arsonist or
to even buy tech like this.

So, maybe he's got a
second source of income?

JESSE: That's what I was thinking too

but this is where things get weird.

It's like Financial Crimes

is running six different
investigations on this guy.

There are files on cases in here

that already laid
convictions on other people.

Who's this guy?

JESSE: A known gun smuggler.

There are files on a bunch of
other dealers that were nabbed.

So, the Tropiks is a criminal hotspot?

Well, they didn't include a guide
on how to connect any of these files.

I don't know how Gene
is mixed up in all this.

DONOVAN: You know what?
Let me have another conversation

with Superintendent Lewis.

And we'll get the answer
directly from the source.

(ELEVATOR PINGS)

Hey! There you are. I was
just coming to see you.

Solved it already?

Must be a record.

- Pretty impressive.
- Yeah, that's very funny.

- (LEWIS CHUCKLES)
- You know, almost as funny as sending us

an entire recycling
plant's worth of paper.

We can't make heads or tails of it.

Well, you should have known better.

Trying to cram a year's worth
of investigation into a weekend?

- Ha. Come on now.
- Wait.

Hold on, a year's worth?

This is about way more than just a fire.

What else are you
trying to nab Gene for?

It's your investigation now.

Figure it out.

Vanessa, I don't know what I've done

to warrant this kind of hostility.

Just can't we work together here?

You've had your chance.

But Major Crimes needs their win, right?

My team just what? Gets sidelined?

All your team's work is
going to go for naught

if we can't crack this.

We just need to know how
David Gallo factors in.

Talk to somebody who knows.

I've given you all I got.

(DONOVAN SIGHS)

This is David's place.

Uh-uh.

This building has a no pets policy.

- (REX BARKS)
- Good think he's not a pet.

(REX GROWLS)

What the... ?

Your tenant has been
dead for two months.

You didn't notice he wasn't here?

Dead, alive.

- (REX SNIFFING)
- I don't care so long so, the rent comes in.

(REX BARKS)

Looks like David didn't
get the no pet memo.

Hmm.

Who's been feeding the fish?

I live off-property.

Couldn't tell you.

Someone's expecting.

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(REX SNIFFING)

(REX BARKING)

What've you got, pal?

(REX BARKING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(KNOCKING ON WINDOW)

CHARLIE: I've got good news or bad news,

depending on how your day went.

Aluminum shavings.

Looks like it could be a
match to the accelerant bomb

but I'll have to test it.

- You found these where?
- In David's apartment.

Looks like he is a part of this.

Reva may have been right.

KARMA: Well, we can't say the same.

Sarah and I each conducted
the DNA testing again.

And results are still inconclusive.

- Sorry.
- SARAH: No.

No, it's not that we failed.
It's literally impossible.

There's no conceivable way

that Reva pulled David's DNA.

But she presented a DNA
match. How is that possible?

SARAH: Well,

the Defense was ready to
spring David on us at the trial.

I wonder if Reva lied under oath.

I hope you didn't call us down
here to intimidate my client.

CHARLIE: No, I can assure you not.

From what emerged in court,

we are now officially
looking into David Gallo.

Any idea why he might
have targeted your business?

Well, he used to be a regular

before prison did a number on him.

What do you mean?

He had a short fuse.

Started picking fights.

We had to ban him two
weeks before the fire.

That's why he torched the place?

Well, it's not easy being
kicked out of paradise.

Yeah, um, this was taken
two days before the fire.

That's David Gallo, right?

Detective Hudson, careful.

We don't have to be here.

Just trying to establish
a timeline for our suspect.

Security must have been lax that night.

Maybe he was scoping out the place.

Except those are the
Employees Only stairs.

We checked on the floor plan.

It's the same place where Kieran
McCall, arms dealer once headed.

A corrupt port authority. Oh and,

- a contraband tobacco smuggler.
- All right, Hudson.

I don't like where this is headed.

Doesn't feel like Gallo
should be going up those stairs

unless he was on the payroll, does it?

If you really believe that,

good luck proving it.

We'll see you on Monday.

It's just not possible
Reva came to that conclusion

with her methodology.

I think she was led to that
conclusion by the defense.

CHARLIE: Which means
they were counting on us

not being able to connect
Gallo to this fire.

They had a ready-made scapegoat
prepared to throw the case.

- That seems far-fetched.
- (REX BARKS)

Uh, don't say fetch.

Can you prove any of this
or is it just a hunch?

No, it is not a hunch.

It's a theory.

MICHAEL: So, you expect me
to walk into court tomorrow

crying collusion and falsifying evidence

with nothing to back it up?

We are going to prove it.

Just give us time.

24 hours is all the time we have.

Sorry.

So, how are we going to prove it?

There's no paper trail
between David and Gene.

Maybe we don't have to find one.

If we can prove Reva falsified evidence,

then the case falls apart, right?

Uh, leave that with me.

It's a big if, Sarah.

We need to attack this from every angle.

What if we can find
someone in David's life

who can speak to their relationship?

I called the hospital

that performed that
ultrasound you found, Charlie.

Here's the list of all the women
who had appointments that day.

I know exactly who we're looking for.

I think we have something of yours.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

Amanda,

what was this doing
at David's apartment?

David asked to see the sonogram.

We became pretty close
over his probation.

I'd say you became more than close.

He would have been
the first person to see this.

He had a check in with you a half
an hour after this appointment.

David's the father, isn't he?

(REX WHINES)

When David got out,
no one believed in him.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Everyone here was just
waiting for him to re-offend.

There was something tender in
him if you looked a bit deeper.

It's clear you cared about him.

That's why I need you
to be honest with me now.

What else are you hiding?

The day of the ultrasound,

he told me he was worried
about providing for us.

And he told me he had a job.

The Tropiks fire?

I didn't care to hear the details.

But I told him that if
he did anything stupid,

he'd be out of our lives for good.

He may have still taken the job.

We found some material in his apartment

that matched the accelerant bomb.

No.

He told me he'd refused to do it.

But that he needed to disappear
for a while to stay safe.

And in the meantime,
you kept the fish fed.

He promised he'd be back in
time for his next check-in.

Even after we filed the
warrant for his arrest,

I was hoping that he'd come back,

until yesterday.

(REX GRUNTS)

What is he doing?

(REX SNIFFING)

(REX BARKS)

He's on to something.

- What have you got, pal?
- (REX BARKING)

Of course you found the one
item in this office of his.

He told me to keep them safe in case

he need them for insurance.

We have bomb components at David's house

and proof that he was commissioned
for a crime before the fire.

So, why do we not have
everything we need?

We still can't prove
definitively that Gene hired him.

I wish it was that simple.

But I think I believe Amanda too.

Because he didn't go through with it?

Not after he found out
he had a baby on the way.

SARAH: Wait, okay so,
if we want to believe Reva,

how did he end up in that fire?

I think he might've been murdered.

(REX WHINES)

Because he backed out of the job?

Or for his silence.

Amanda said that David
gave her these as insurance.

Maybe it was for leverage against Gene

for whatever he was using them for.

That won't hold up in court, Charlie.

Or maybe it was for Amanda and the baby?

Because if was looking for a payday,

those chips could be
worth a lot of money.

CHARLIE: The part that
doesn't make sense is why

- would Jean let them burn?
- JESSE: Well...

they're junk.

- I'm sorry?
- Yeah, I tested dozens of these.

None of them have a current.

They're less than worthless.

Because this was never
about the nightclub.

Gene was stuck with faulty product.

You think he was selling contraband?

If he's a contraband merchant,

these numbers would make sense.

Yeah. Financial Crimes have
all these large deposits

highlighted on their spreadsheets.

I didn't know what they were before.

SARAH: Thank you so much for coming.

Oh, it's my pleasure!

Though do I have to remind you
that there's a case ongoing?

So, I can't help you too much.

Well, this is for a separate
investigation on David Gallo.

Getting your statement
would be very helpful

since my results came up short.

It's big of you to admit
that you were wrong.

I also...

was thinking about what you said

the other night about this job being...

you know, beneath me.

Do you get to travel for work a lot?

Yeah, someone hires us. We go consult.

What are you looking to make a change?

It'd just be an awfully
nice way to see the world.

You didn't test
the evidence out in Toronto?

No, I can get access to a lab
pretty much anywhere in the world.

It's tricky here though with
just the one worth using.

- Kernwell Research Centre?
- No, God no.

- AtlanTech Labs.
- (ELEVATOR PINGS)

Oh okay. So, this officer will
take you to get your statement.

Great.

And I will keep an eye out for openings.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Jesse? It's AtlanTech Labs.

Get me anything you can find.

Clock's ticking.

You get your guy yet?

Vanessa, Major Crimes
is trying to help you.

And it's not going to reflect
well on Financial Crimes either

if this case falls apart now.

But if you get the win,

I doubt if you'd share it with us.

That doesn't seem fair, does it?

So, let me get this straight.

It's more important for my team to fail

than to get Gene Powell?

What exactly is going on here?

Don't play dumb.

The Chief is talking retirement.

So, your scooping our case

is just a move to start
campaigning for the job.

That's news to me.

And what makes you think
I'd even want that job?

Who wouldn't?

Never even crossed my mind.

Mmmm.

The only thing that is on my plate
right now is getting Gene Powell.

And I need your help.

Please.

That's all you had to say.

My team has been after
Gene Powell for years.

There was an influx
of contraband in town

and the merchants seemed to
have only one thing in common.

- They went through Tropiks.
- Exactly.

Now, we couldn't tell how
Gene was involved in the scheme

but the club was a hub of activity.

And clearly he was getting kickbacks.

I mean I couldn't trace any
of these massive deposits.

- So, he was just a middleman?
- LEWIS: No.

Not with the kind of
money he had coming in.

I mean that's a healthy cut.

What if

he was paid in advance by the buyer?

But the chips were faulty. Which...

Which means that he'd be on the
hook for millions to somebody.

Yeah, which is why
the nightclub had to go

and take the chips with it.

And if David wasn't going
to help with the problem,

maybe he needed to go too.

With fatherhood on the horizon,

he could have been threatening to
come clean about all this stuff.

- (PHONE PINGS)
- Yeah, it all makes sense.

How are we going to prove it
before the trial resumes tomorrow?

We may not have to.

(REX BARKS)

- Hey.
- You got something for me?

JESSE: Yeah just the CCTV from the lab

where Reva was running her tests.

CHARLIE: Special delivery.
You were right.

That doesn't look like court evidence.

But that package doesn't exactly
read David Gallo's DNA on it either.

It's not enough to prove
our collusion theory.

Yeah but who's doing the drop off?
That might be of interest to you.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

SARAH: Gene's lawyer.

I need to borrow Rex.

(REX BARKS)

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

Sarah Truong.

Ten years, no call and now I hear
from you three times in a weekend.

And you are?

Detective Hudson and this is my partner.

Rex! Yes, yes! So, I've heard.

We stopped by David Gallo's
apartment to get a scent sample.

Reva, have a close look.

I want to show you what
picking up after a dog

really looks like.

- (REX SNIFFING)
- Track it!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Oh!

Yeah, cute. He does tricks.

Okay, okay. Get him out of my rental.

Picking up the scent of a dead man.

That is a pretty cool trick.

We have CCTV footage

of you accepting this
package from Avery Creehan.

- Right here.
- CHARLIE: We expected to find it .

ditched somewhere in the
area but you were kind enough

to hang on to it. What was inside?

Just some papers for my services.

What are you getting at?

Reva, we can take this
back to my lab to confirm

or you can come clean.

Did the Defense give you
something of David Gallo's to test?

I think you and I need
to go somewhere private.

I want to talk this over.

I knew you couldn't have pulled
David's identity from that evidence.

You lied!

I didn't.

I told you I tested what they gave me.

You falsified evidence on the stand.

And was David Gallo
not the man in the fire?

Didn't your little dog just
confirm that that was true?

But how did he get there?

A criminal is about to let
an innocent man burn for his crimes.

You're okay with letting that happen?

I made a call for you.

What call?

There's a senior forensic
associate position

waiting for you in Toronto.

Better hours. Better pay.

And best of all, none of this.

Once court adjourns,

you don't have to take
the case home with you.

Sarah, what do you think is going
to happen in court tomorrow?

I know that you can't prove any of this.

Otherwise you wouldn't be
chasing after me right now.

I guess I'll just have
to take the stand and...

tell the truth.

Don't you think the truth
is for the jury to decide?

You're right.

I'll see you in the morning.

Hey, you headed to the trial?

Yeah. Nothing more we can do now.

Yeah, sometimes it's worse
to have half the story

- and no way to prove it.
- It's frustrating

to be stuck in limbo
after all this effort.

Well, I'll just have
to take the stand and

tell the jury I wasn't
able to replicate the tests.

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(REX BARKING)

CHARLIE: What's up?

What is it?

(REX BARKING)

He's got something.

(REX BARKING)

He must be tracking David's remains

from the scents in his apartment.

Charlie, this is the
debris that I sorted out

looking for bone samples
that we may have missed.

(REX BARKS)

There's got to be something.

Good job, pal.

CHARLIE: Sarah, I need
you to come with me.

I think there's a way
to save this case after all. Rex.

(REX BARKS)

That substrate definitely
looks like a match

to what we've got in the morgue.

There's also something in there.

You might need to dig it out.

Oh.

Well, I only know two men
who'd wear a ring this flashy

and I don't think it
belongs to Harry Styles.

I think David was drowned
by Gene right here.

That's going to be hard to prove.

I think I have an idea where to start.

(REX BARKS)

DONOVAN: Your Honour,
it's not every day

you get to see the rationale
for a warrant firsthand.

Make it quick.

So, we suspect that the body
of David Gallo was transported

in a vehicle somewhere on this lot.

If we're right,

Rex should be able to lead
us right to that vehicle.

All right, Rex. Track it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(REX SNIFFING)

(REX BARKS)

Thank you.

Hey. I need you guys down here now.

Okay.

- What's going on here?
- I need you to stall for as long as you can.

Sarah, this is it. We're out of time.

Look, you asked us to
get you a conviction.

I can get you the evidence.

You just need to trust me.

Yeah, I trust you.

Thank you.

(REX BARKS)

You guys better not be
hanging me out to dry.

No, no. Sarah knows what she's doing.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Don't hover.

I'm not hovering.

Rex.

(REX WHINES)

Science demands patience.

CLERK: All rise!

Good morning.

Welcome back.

Court is now in session.
(JUDGE BANGS GAVEL)

CLERK: Please take your seats.

(JESSE TEXTING)

(REX BARKS)

We're not ready for closing arguments?

Your Honour, In light of
last week's revelation,

I motion to call a final witness.

Granted.

I call Jesse Mills to the stand.

What?

(JESSE TEXTING)

(PHONE BEEPS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- (PHONE PINGS)
- _

Find Jesse.

Jesse Mills, what exactly
is your role at the SJPD?

Well, I'm a Fourth Class Constable.

And Tech Analyst.

Like, you know, a tech detective.

A tech-tective, I say sometimes.

AVERY: Objection. This
witness has no relevance to the case.

No, let me get to it. I'm relevant!

(IN DISTANCE) I'm relevant!

Okay, I'll tell you why.

A team needs a foundation.

And some would say,

that analysts are invaluable.

- People call me lightning fingers.
- (REX BARKS)

(CROWD EXCLAIMS)

(BANGING GAVEL) Order!

(BANGING GAVEL) Order!

Good boy.

MICHAEL: Thanks.

Your Honour, I'd like
to recall a witness.

Dr. Truong.

Were you able to generate a test
that positively ID'd David Gallo?

I was.

I submit the following as Exhibit 73B.

SARAH: Now these results did
not come from the arson site.

My colleague, Dr. Karma Poole and I

both tried to replicate
Dr. Warner's results

to little success. In fact,

it's impossible.

MICHAEL: How do you
reckon Dr. Warner was able

to present those results
to this court, last week.

She would have required
a stronger sample to test

as I had here with this sample.

And where did your sample
come from Dr. Truong?

From the trunk of the defendant's car,

collected just this morning,

which was found along with
mineral enriched water

from the aquarium in which

- David was drowned.
- AVERY: Objection!

Overruled.

SARAH: David Gallo couldn't
have set that fire.

He wasn't alive

when he reached the
nightclub with Gene Powell.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(OBSERVERS MURMUR)

(REX BARKS)

(JUDGE BANGS GAVEL)

I want to see all the attorneys

in my chamber. Now!

(SOFT MUSIC)

MICHAEL: Hey.

You should have seen
Avery shaking like a leaf.

Unsurprisingly, Gene changed his plea

but given what's come to light,

we are pursuing first
degree murder charges.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

I hope you'll be available
to testify then too.

Well, that almost
sounds like an apology.

- But it's just...
- (MICHAEL CHUCKLES)

- missing something.
- Mm-hmm.

Sarah.

I'm sorry for doubting you.

- There it is.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll admit that it
hasn't been easy to

adjust to a working relationship.

We'll get there.

I'll take the stand whenever you need.

(MICHAEL SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

DONOVAN: We couldn't have
solved this without you.

LEWIS: Oh! That's what I've
been trying to tell you all along.

Nice of you to admit it.

Which is why I'm giving the Powell case

back over to Financial Crimes.

With Major Crimes on hand,

to assist if you need us, of course.

You guys have been chasing
this guy long enough.

Your team deserves to take
it across the finish line.

Thank you, Superintendent Donovan.

(LEWIS CHUCKLES)

I just hope that there
are no hard feelings

when the chief job comes calling.

Well, that was the right thing to do

taking the hit.

You know what the chief
loves more than a big win?

Interdepartmental collaboration.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

The race for the job is not over.

Well, the judge is
throwing out my testimony

after that little display.

So, I guess we're even now, Truong.

Uh, for what?

Getting the high paying job
over you back in the day.

Not that it matters now
but since you mentioned it,

Sutherland & Schmidt
offered me that internship.

I turned it down.

Sour grapes, Sarah.

That's not a great look.

I'm serious Reva. I'm
not interested in payback.

I'm a scientist,

which is why I've reported you

to the Society of
Canadian Forensic Analysts

for taking conclusions from
clients and falsifying reports.

(REX BARKS)

Okay, wow!

If that's how you want to play it,

I will see you in court.

Not likely!

(REX BARKS)

- That must have felt good.
- You have no idea!

(THEY LAUGH)

Thanks, Rex. Hey.
