A neighbour walking their dog-

gave us a description-

of the driver-

and the car.

Nice day.

It's my sister, Crystal.

I'm in big trouble.

Can you come meet me?

Where is she?

Northern Ontario, last I checked.

Everybody hold on!

You're going to-

go get help.

And then you're going to come back to us safe.

Are you lost?

Don't worry.

Still have that chain in the yard?

When we crashed-

it caused some internal trauma-

which means-

you'll need to operate.

I'm going to give you instructions.

You'll just need to remember them all.

No no no no!

Sarah come on!

Come on Sarah!

Okay.

We're going to snap this.

Okay.

There you go.

Okay.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Sarah, come on.

Wake up, wake up.

Please!

Detective Scott.

You were right.

Crystal Mills was working for Royal Cleaners.

But they don't contract to Basal Mining.

Well what other companies do they service?

Kinney Technical Solutions?

It's an industrial waste treatment company.

Wayne Kinney's company handles waste treatment-

for Basal Mining.

He worked with Daniel.

He told me that he didn't know Crystal or Nick.

It's not surprising that the owner of the company-

doesn't know the name of an after-hours cleaner.

But does that make Kinney a suspect?

Or a target?

I don't know yet.

This must be the connection between the two cases.

Single-minded as always.

Yeah, well-

one of the many things you love about me.

What the- ?

Hey!

Buddy!

Where did you come from?

Where's your owner?

Are you lost?

Easy, easy

Hey there.

How're you doing?

There he is, the little bugger.

He got loose from my truck.

This your dog?

Yeah.

C'mon boy, let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

I don't think he is yours.

Look, if he's lost-

then I'm entitled to some reward.

That's all I'm saying.

Unbelievable.

Sorry is there some sort of problem here?

No problem at all.

Okay.

You have a nice day.

What is it hey?

Yeah.

Okay buddy.

Hey.

What is that?

Is that a note?

I think there's been a plane crash.

Joe.

A call is coming through.

Finally.

Hello?

Detective Sergeant Sidney Scott, OPS.

Charlie Hudson?

Yeah.

Well there's someone here-

who wants to say hi to you!

Rex!

Buddy, I am glad to see you.

And Sarah Truong, and Jesse Mills?

Are they with you too?

When Rex found us, he was alone.

But he hada note.

It said there's been a plane crash.

Plane crash?

What are you talking about?

The note said a plane crash.

Flew approximately 15 minutes, southwest-

Okay, you know what?

It's too long.

I'm going to send you a picture!

Three survivors.

Two had blunt force trauma to the abdomen.

No immediate signs of pneumothorax.

Third with simple distal fracture.

Please alert Charlie Hudson at SJPD to send assistance.

It doesn't say anything about who the survivors are.

That's all the information that I have.

I'm sorry.

We're going to take off now.

And we're going to look for them.

Please find them.

We'll do our best, Detective.

Okay everybody.

Okay, Rex.

Help us find them.

This is Sarah's handwriting.

Yeah so we know that she did survive the plane crash.

Yeah.

For twenty-four hours.

But-

it doesn't say anything about Jesse.

Three survivors.

They were all injured.

Doesn't say who was on the plane to begin with.

What were they doing on a plane anyway, damn it?

Charlie, Rex has help on the way.

What route did you take out, buddy?

Do you have an estimate of their location?

A big estimate.

There's no rescue signal.

No flight record.

It'll be like finding a needle in a haystack.

I mean listen-

if you would have told me forty-eight hours ago-

that I'd crash a plane and be performing surgery-

You would have never answered my voicemail.

Crystal, I'm glad I came running okay?

I just wish I didn't have to.

How did you let it get this bad?

You really needed to rob some guy's house?

And for what?

An iPad and a Rolex?

And then it turns into us-

getting almost gunned down-

and shot to-

Crystal how much money is in there?

It's a hundred thousand.

You know.

Just enough for all of my and Nick's problems to just-

go away.

Jesse.

Jesse.

Hey! Hey hey hey!

Hey, you're going to make it!

Okay?

If I don't make it-

you have to find Rex.

Tell Charlie-

No no.

You're going to tell him yourself-

when we get home okay?

That's what you're going to do.

There's no need for last requests Sarah.

Rex is going to come back.

Okay Rex.

I think he's got something.

I think this is the area.

Copy.

I'm going to spin her around

and put it down in that clearing.

I'll give them the coordinates of where we dropped you off!

But I recommend you stay with us Detective!

I have a sat phone!

We'll start the ground search-

in communication with air.

Well, it's you and me!

Okay.

Okay!

Okay, I hope you know where you're going.

Okay.

I don't know how Detective Hudson keeps up with you.

You have got to be kidding me.

Any word?

Yeah, they've got a chopper in the air.

But nothing yet.

I should have gone.

Why Charlie?

So I could have three officers missing instead of two?

No thank you.

I think the folks out there know the terrain-

better than you do.

They don't know Rex as well.

Listen Charlie.

If he made his way to them from the crash site-

I'm sure he can find his way back.

Yeah.

Did you talk to that Boyle character about your old case?

I did.

And?

He thinks I'm chasing a ghost.

Did I tell you that I wasn't much of a dog person?

Well I mean-

It's not that I didn't want to be as a kid.

I mean honestly, who doesn't want a puppy?

Right?

Okay, right.

It's my parents!

My parents were not dog people!

I don't even think they were children people!

Okay.

Okay!

Hey!

Sarah [whispering]: Hey.

Here.

Oh my God!

Oh, you're feverish.

It's probably infection.

Here, get some water.

Get some water.

Oh Jesse.

Jesse, you did good!

I'm still here.

Tell the medics push IV antibiotics okay?

Thank you.

You did a damage control laparotomy.

Sarah what if the medics don't arrive in time?

Have faith, Jesse.

Rex will make it.

Hey!

Rex!

Rex yes!

Hey tell the folks in St. John's I've found them!

All three survivors!

Good boy!

Hey!

Oh I'm so happy to see you!

Hey folks.

Detective Sidney Scott, OPS.

Hi!

This is quite a dog you've got here!

You must be Jesse and Sarah.

Yeah.

You must be Crystal Mills.

We've been looking for you.

Jesse.

Yeah, we're okay.

They told us Sarah's been taken to the hospital.

Yeah, Sarah's going to be okay.

Look.

She had some internal bleeding after the crash.

She made me operate.

What?

What the hell are you talking about?

Look, a shooter was after us okay?

We couldn't get to the car.

There was a plane.

So we took it.

Let me talk to her.

She's in surgery.

Look, I've got to go guys.

I need to check on my sister.

Talk to you soon.

Crystal, let me tell you why we've placed you under arrest.

Look is this really necessary right now?

I just watched my boyfriend get shot and killed.

And I thought-

we were all gonna die in a plane crash.

It's been a lot.

Around 10 am yesterday-

there was a break-in at a residence on Lakeshore Drive.

I didn't break in anywhere.

There was blood at the scene.

And tests are going to show it belonged to Nick.

And we also have witnesses that place you at the scene-

in a car.

But what I actually really want to know-

is why did you and Nick choose this specific house?

Nick picked the house.

Nick picked the house.

Mmmm.

Did Nick have a problem with Basal Mining Group?

No.

Did Nick ever mention the name Daniel Scott?

No.

Did Nick bring the gun to the house-

with a purpose other than robbery, Crystal?

We didn't have a gun.

The weapon that he used-

to murder Bianca Cooper.

I'm sorry.

I'm not feeling very well.

I-

Do you mind if-

if we just take a minute?

Please?

Yeah, a minute.

Crystal.

What is all this about a gun?

I don't know!

I don't know!

We didn't have a gun!

Do you know what that means?

If she was shot and didn't die of a blow to the head-

it means that Nick didn't kill anyone.

Are you sure?

Yeah yeah.

You've got to get that backpack out of here right now.

No, you need to turn it in and tell the truth.

Everything.

Not until we find out who actually killed that woman.

Because if they find that first-

there's no convincing them that Nick didn't do it.

Come on please.

Detective Scott!

Look.

I know you need answers okay?

She wants to cooperate; she's scared.

But I want you to know-

that you're looking for a different killer.

Are you here as a cop?

Or a brother?

I have to be both.

And you need to find out

whoever the hell was trying to kill us out there.

Okay, well we're headed to the missile site.

We're going to gather any evidence we can.

And we're going to try to identify who attacked you.

You know, Rex was there.

He saw the shooter.

He might be able to help you track him.

Okay.

You want to help me out, Rex?

You know, while we're gone-

maybe you can convince your sister to tell us why

she and her boyfriend went to the Cooper's house.

Come on, Rex.

Sarah.

Good to hear your voice.

Did they catch the shooter yet?

Not yet.

When can you come home?

I'll be released later today.

But Charlie.

I have to see things through with Jesse and his sister.

I get it.

Be safe.

It's going to be a long ride.

We've got some time to kill.

What made you decide to become a cop?

Was it the benefits?

I know, I know.

You really just want to help people.

I know.

You're a good boy.

How do you feel about Snoop Dog?

Um- should he be that close to the body?

Yeah we usually bring in K-9 afterwards.

So if forensics finds dog hair-

just tell them to eliminate it.

He was shot three times in the back.

That's exactly what the witness said we'd find.

Well someone came looking for Crystal and Nick.

And they weren't fooling around.

It's a cigarette butt.

You think that belongs to the victim or the shooter?

Let's find out.

Yeah.

He shouldn't be touching anything in here.

Whoa!

Hey is that what you want us to find?

All right, just-

There's a bag in here.

Good boy Rex.

That's Cooper's stolen electronics!

What?

That's a .38.

Wait- Sid you don't need to see that- No!

Daniel!

Daniel!

I know.

Your husband was killed with a .38.

Every single one we've found in the last six weeks-

we've checked.

Can we bag this?

Come on Rex, let's go.

Detective Scott asked you why you chose that house.

Yeah, because she's frickin' obsessed.

She's right, Crystal.

Look.

You didn't just go in there for a random smash-and grab.

You had to know what you were looking for.

Oh yeah?

And how do you figure that?

Well it's not normal-

for people to have that much money in their house.

You're acting like a narc!

What do you want me to say?

She asked you about a Daniel Scott.

I looked him up.

Okay?

He was her husband.

And he was shot and killed two months ago.

The case is still unsolved.

Jesse.

You don't think that I had anything to do with that?

No it doesn't matter what I think okay?

If she believes that you or Nick

had anything to do with her husband's murder-

I can't protect you from whatever comes next.

Yeah I don't know.

I mean, I believed Crystal when she told me about the robbery.

But I think she knows more than she's saying.

Surely after everything that's happened-

she must realize that she needs to tell you the truth.

Yeah I think she's just scared.

What are you doing?

Crystal told us Nick believed Bianca Cooper died-

from a blow to the head.

And Detective Scott says she was shot.

Yeah, right.

Well they can't both be right.

I want to take a look at that body.

Detective Huang?

Hi.

It's Sarah Truong.

I'm wondering if you can help me with something.

Rex found this at the missile site.

That's not ours.

I've never seen that before.

All of these items-

they were stolen from the Cooper residence.

You recognize any of them?

Crystal?

No.

A .38.

Same calibre of weapon that was used to kill Bianca Cooper.

Nick didn't have a gun.

I told you that lady fell.

And she hit her head.

You said that Rex tracked this?

Mmm-hmm.

From a cigarette butt.

We're testing it from Nick's DNA.

Well I will save you the trouble.

Nick didn't even smoke!

I think the shooter planted this bag.

And you know this because the dog told you?

He knows what he's doing.

He is pretty smart.

The coroner places Bianca Cooper's time of death

between 8 am and noon.

Uh- that's right.

Which matches witness accounts of intruders at the house-

just before 10 am.

Why?

What is it you're looking for?

This.

You see it?

Right in there.

A contusion under the hairline.

Crystal Mills said-

that her boyfriend struggled with the victim.

And she fell.

He thought that that's what killed her.

No I'm pretty sure it was the gunshot.

Yes but this bruise-

on Bianca Cooper's head is well developed.

So some time elapsed between the head injury and the gunshot.

How much time?

Uh- I'd estimate two hours.

Oh no.

No no no!

I assumed it was the intruders!

I've had the wrong time of death all along.

How are you doing?

Stuck.

It's because you're a good cop Charlie.

And a great detective.

Even if I can't bring her home?

That's the job.

Not everyone gets to come home.

And when that happens-

we need to know where to place it-

how to continue to move forward-

how to keep ourselves safe-

so that we can be good for the next little girl-

for the next family-

for the next person that needs us.

I don't know how to bury a ghost.

We pinned the time of Bianca Cooper's death-

to the time of the break-in.

Well that was based on the time-

that witnesses placed Crystal's car at the Cooper house.

But if I'm right-

she was shot by someone else.

After-

Nick and Crystal fled the scene.

Okay, we found the electronics and gun at Crystal's camp.

They would have been easy enough to plant.

Right, so say the shooter planted the gun.

Can't be Tim Cooper-

because he was talking to us at the time you were attacked.

Our connection between-

Crystal and the Coopers is Wayne Kinney.

I'm going to go talk to him now.

Does this clear Crystal Mills-

in the matter of Bianca Cooper's death?

Well there will be charges for the break-in.

So-

make sure she remains available.

Let's go.

I'm not quite sure-

I understand what you're suggesting, Detective.

I'm just saying we've found a connection-

between you and the suspects in Bianca Cooper's murder.

What kind of connection?

Well one of them worked for the janitorial company-

that cleans your offices.

Oh.

It's a small town.

Oh!

Yeah!

But you've been here your whole life!

Uh, yeah.

Except for a stint in the military.

Afghanistan.

Can you account for your whereabouts-

the last couple of days?

As you can imagine, my work takes me all over the place so-

Mmm.

I'm curious.

I was under the impression-

that you had a pretty good suspect already.

Well, good isn't airtight.

You know, I think Daniel-

he'd want you to enjoy the life you have left.

And your beautiful home.

Your reputation in this community.

I think Daniel would want you to leave this alone.

Hey?

Just take care of yourself Sid.

Hey?

Thank you again for getting me out.

Lucky thing my brother's got pull-

with the cops!

Okay, it's not about pull.

Sarah and Rex found evidence.

Ah, my heroes.

Both of you.

Look.

The evidence clears you of murder charges.

But you need to tell me about the money.

Uh, you know what?

I think I just going to go home to my own place.

Ahh!

Don't!

You can't keep it.

Why not?

Because it's stolen.

But what if somebody else stole it first?

Probably from some big, rich company-

that can afford to lose it anyway.

It's not so wrong what I did!

God!

Don't look at me like that.

So Detective Scott was halfway there.

We did go-

to Cooper's place-

because we knew the money would be there.

How did you know?

Okay.

Yeah so-

I clean this Kinney guy's office.

Kinney was always having these-

hi-larious-

moustache-twirly phone conversations-

after hours.

About what?

Okay.

So-

Kinney has the contract-

to clean Basal Mining's waste runoff.

Like big money.

Okay, all the fries.

Yeah I get it.

Yeah, all the fries buys you a clean mining operation.

But lets just say you don't clean very well.

Then it only costs-

Basal would figure out pretty quickly-

that their runoff wasn't being cleaned up properly.

Oh yeah!

But there's still plenty of money left over-

to keep people's mouths shut.

And Tim Cooper-

being the head of local operations.

He would be in on it too.

He sure is!

And then he'd have to launder the money he was stealing.

Kinney helped him out with that, too!

They talked about it.

That's how I knew there was cash at the house.

You know-

you could've just said money laundering and fraud.

I mean, I explain these concepts for a living.

Yeah so you get it.

Yeah.

Yeah!

What is the harm-

in keeping money-

that was already stolen in the first place?

The money is evidence in a murder investigation!

Maybe even in another one!

That's the harm, Crystal

I'm going to get out of here.

And you're going to tell them exactly what I just told you.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

And lose my job?

That's not how it-

Rex?

Rex!

Rex come back!

Rex!

Rex!

Good boy.

Hey! Hi!

Don't scare us like that!

Oh my God!

Okay.

Crystal, we're going to the cops.

What?

We're going to the cops!

No!

This is why you went to the Cooper house?

How did you know there was this much money there?

Well I-

Ah!

Cooper and Kinney were siphoning off Basal's cleaning fund.

And Kinney was laundering the money.

Crystal you discovered this-

while you were cleaning Mr. Kinney's offices?

I learned that there were regular pickups.

Pretty much the same day of the week every time.

So-

Nick and I had a good idea-

of when the cash would be at the house.

You actually saw Tim Cooper speaking with Mr. Kinney-

about the money exchange?

Well sometimes it was phone calls.

And sometimes Mr. Cooper came by the office.

But we followed him one time-

one time-

one time-

we followed him.

And that's how we learned where Mr. Cooper's house was.

Do you know this man?

No, I never saw him.

One time.

It was one time.

Rex is really disappointed in you.

Thank you for meeting me.

You called because you're ready to listen?

What changed?

How did the waste get into the water at your place?

My place is on the river.

Basal Mining-

they process their waste-

and they bury it in a site upstream from us.

Mm-hmm?

The groundwater from their burial goes into the river.

And the mine claims that they clean the waste

before they bury it?

Yeah.

And their lawyers swamp me with reports that prove it.

My husband wrote the reports.

How do you think they could fake the results?

Well now you're asking the right questions, Colombo.

Why would they risk so much-

the entire business-

the liability-

harm people?

People do all kinds of things for money, Detective.

Maybe even your husband.

Let's take a trip.

What do you think?

Italy?

We can't afford it!

We just bought a new house!

We can't afford to go on a trip.

You forget.

Your husband's a wise investor.

Elvis was right all along.

People were getting sick.

The mine has been burying pollution for years.

You think Daniel found out?

Then one of them killed him to keep it quiet?

I mean they may have killed him to keep him quiet.

But he didn't just find out.

Daniel might have been in on it.

I have been going about this all wrong.

I'm telling you-

I didn't even know my own husband.

Are you-?

Hey!

Uh-

Tim Cooper was at the office all day.

His staff confirm it.

Um-

Are they sure he didn't step out for part of the day?

Well I'm looking at cell tower records-

to see if I can confirm.

But it's going to take some time.

Okay Wayne is ex-military.

He's absolutely our shooter.

But there is no way-

that Tim Cooper didn't know about this.

I've got to make him talk.

Well you'll need backup.

Hey.

Drink, Detective?

Yeah.

Neat.

We found the electronics you said were stolen from the house.

So then you have enough to arrest Bianca's killer.

Yeah, I think so.

But it's funny.

We also found-

the money that you said was stolen from the house.

You lied Tim.

You had to know it was going to come back to you.

That girl's partner broke into my house, Sidney.

Killed my wife.

Yeah.

You really buy her story?

Because a jury won't.

Nick Weller didn't kill Bianca.

But I believe that you know who actually did.

What's your play here, Sid?

Hmm?

Are you going to arrest me?

Or do you want me to cut you in?

No, what I want is for you to you to help me catch-

who actually killed Bianca and Daniel.

I'm still exposed Sid.

Will I still go to jail for fraud?

Maybe we can help you get a deal right?

If you give up Wayne Kinney.

He's not giving you anything.

We've come too far to go down now Sid.

How much do the cops know?

Eh?

Nothing.

Honestly- no.

Nobody knows.

I came here alone.

Well that was stupid.

You're still trying to protect Daniel's reputation.

I'm trying to figure out how it is-

that you actually managed to talk him into this.

I didn't need to!

It was his idea.

No.

No, he wasn't that way.

God don't be so naive Sid!

You ever take a look around-

at your big, beautiful house?

Okay Tim, stop.

And wonder where it all came from?

Tim stop!

Stop talking!

No, she wants to know-

the truth!

It's not going to make a difference!

So if he was so in on it, what changed?

Why kill him?

Elvis Migwans spooked him, so-

Daniel lost his nerve.

He threatened to go public if we didn't clean up the water.

It would have cost us millions.

Millions you'd already stolen.

That's enough.

Daniel, too.

Don't you forget that.

And he liked having a secret-

stealing all that money.

I think it was fun for him.

And he liked showing it off too.

Didn't he Sid?

Do you really want everyone to know the truth?

Don't you understand Tim?

The truth always comes out.

Ughh!

Uhh!

Ughh!

Did you kill Daniel?

Or did you have him do your dirty work for you?

I made Daniel rich.

And you too!

Who shot him?

He was going to expose me Sid.

I had to kill him.

I've got the confession!

Clear!

Don't move Cooper!

Hold it right there!

It's over!

It's over!

Cuff him!

He's down there!

Tim Cooper.

You're under arrest for the murder of Bianca Cooper-

and Daniel Scott.

You need not say anything.

Anything you say may be used as evidence.

You have the right to retain and instruct counsel-

without delay.

Do you understand?

Good work Detective.

One of the strange things about living in this world-

is that it is only now and then

that one is quite sure one is going to live-

forever and ever and ever.

One knows it because-

I have something for you.

What's this?

You were right about Daniel.

He falsified the cleanup report.

I swear.

I did not know.

I'm so sorry.

I'm really really sorry.

For whatever that counts for.

Please take it.

It's proof-

that the cleanup records were falsified.

And proof of who did it.

Won't this implicate your husband?

It's everything that you need for your lawsuit.

Hey.

It's you and me, right?

Okay, dum dum.

You know what?

They're probably just going to give you parole-

in exchange for your testimony.

You just might have to stay in town a little while though.

Yeah, that's fine.

It's not like I have anywhere else to be.

Sure, or-

You're not going to give me advice-

about what to do with my life again, are you?

No, no just-

I don't know!

When they're done with you here-

you might want to consider coming to St. John's!

It's a great town.

There are a lot of opportunities.

I-

I think you were right before, Jesse.

I should probably stay put-

and build my own life.

Okay.

But you'll visit.

Oh yeah.

Deal.

Yeah? - Yeah.

Okay.

Bud.

Call me.

Yeah, I know.

And I will.

Okay.

I'll see you.

Bye!

Come on Rex.

Bye!

Is this what closure feels like?

Sometimes.

But maybe it always feels like an open wound.

How could I have been married to him for sixteen years-

and not even know what he was capable of?

Because you loved him.

And you wanted to believe.

I don't know.

Without honesty-

without actually seeing him.

I don't know if that's love at all.

Hey.

Do you know a good real estate agent?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I'll get you some numbers tomorrow.

Okay.

Um, I actually don't like salad.

Mmmm!

Mm-hmm!

I'm going to get groceries tomorrow.

Good.

Mm-hmm.

Mmmm.

I'm going to come back into work on Monday.

That's great.

Mm-hmm.

And I choose my own partner.

Uh-

partner?

You know-

second time's a charm with flying a plane.

Too soon!

Well if the pilot needs help-

I mean- I feel like my eyes have really adjusted, you know?

Jesse, I'm going to drive myself and Rex-

back to St. John's if you keep it up.

Okay, well-

I hope you have a few podcasts to listen to.

Come on.

Hey!

Buddy!

I missed you pal.

I missed you.

Mmmm.

Are you okay?

Mm-hmm.

I'm just a little tender.

You get anywhere?

Yeah.

I said good-bye.

You sure?

I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you.

Well you don't have to worry.

I'm here.
