Okay Zeus, let's show
them how it's done

at Ramsey's K-9 Institute.

Ready?

Go!

A crime scene is filled
with distractions.

Your K-9 unit dog should
not be one of them.

They have to stay focused
on the task at hand.

Now, of course, dogs need
to learn the skills, but we,

as trainers, also need to learn
their strengths and weaknesses,

and how to best communicate to
them what we want effectively.

Why don't we pick
this up on Thursday.

We'll start with
signaling. Thank you guys.

This is so different
than firefighting.

And I didn't do the
military time you did.

But training these dogs, it
counts as being in service.

Yeah. I see that every day here.

We're going to hold questions

until I'm finished
my opening statement.

And I promise we will get to
each and everyone one of you.

The department has made
a string of arrests...

Don't you know that
handsome detective?

It's like a lifetime ago.

Hey, Sarah. Yeah,
I'm on my way.

I'm in the car!

Okay. See you soon.

Finally!

I am so sorry we're late.

You're not late.

I told you to come
thirty minutes early.

You told me the wrong time
so I'd be here on time?

After twenty years of
friendship, I know that you and

your dogs have a tendency
to run a little late.

Fair. In my defense,

it is much easier to stay
on the clock in your world.

Oh!

I rest my case.

I will give you
that and raise you

a teen student who can't
find her cell phone.

Oh, yeah, those are high stakes.

And then there's the
PTA and the parents.

Astor Academy has a
reputation to uphold.

Well, I think you're doing a
wonderful job, Headmistress!

Thank you.

And is this your highly
trained crime detection dog?

Well, he's mid training but he's
done this kind of demonstration

before so he'll be perfect.

Okay. Let's get you set up then!

Oh wow!

It is so strange
being back here.

I feel like I'm twelve.

Everything looks the same!

There are lots of Academy rules
about maintaining the integrity

and the history of the building.

There's only been a
renovation to the gym.

And we dealt with a burst pipe
on the third floor last year.

There's a third floor?

Yeah there is! I thought it
would be the perfect location

for your demonstration.

I could have sworn the
key to the third floor

was the sixth key on the ring.

Oh Eddie!

Our custodian.

He knows the building
better than anybody else.

Uh, sorry Eddie.

I'm still getting used to these.

Do you happen to know which key

opens the door to
the third floor?

Why are you going up there?

Oh, ambience!

Sorry, I'm Jazz.

Why is that animal in here?

Forensics science club
starts in minutes, Eddie.

If you could please
help me with the door?

Ah! Would you look at that.

Thank you.

I'm just going to go up
first and open some windows,

let some fresh air in.

Thanks.

You know, if this works
out, I could pitch the PTA

on you teaching a class
on crime awareness.

Oh, thank you.

Um, I'm focused on the dogs.

I haven't really
done firefighting

or search and rescue
in a long time.

It's not like you've forgotten
all your awesome skills.

You loved it, and the girls
would love learning from you.

Plus, it would be
fun working together.

Well, that is true.

And my mom would love
it if I was teaching.

I would be even further
away from the line of duty.

Aw... I love your mom.

She just worries about you.
She wants you to be safe.

It's not about being safe.

My Dad was safe. He
followed protocol.

That's exactly the point.

Accidents happen even when
you do follow protocol.

Oh! Thank you.

Okay. Are you ready? Can
I go gather the girls?

Ah, yes.

Zeus, you stay with Sarah.

Don't make me late!

Perfect ambience.

Every crime scene tells a story.

There are clues and evidence
left behind for investigators

to find and to follow.

But sometimes we
might not even know

that we're in a crime scene.

And sometimes we may not
even know that a key piece of

evidence is right
there in front of us

because there are some
clues that we can't see.

Or even smell.

But that is where a crime
detection dog come in.

Now, you all have met Zeus.

I'm fostering him
while I train him

to help find people in
emergency situations.

And unfortunately, sometimes
uncover human remains.

Does anyone have a guess
on how much stronger

a dog's nose is than a human's?

Yeah.

Ten times stronger?

That's a very good guess.

But try 100,000 times stronger.

Zeus here can pick up a
scent over ten miles away.

So today, I have hidden two
human bones in this room.

Let's see if Zeus' nose
can help find them.

Find!

You got it, good boy.
Now the next one.

Find!

Zeus is indicating to me now
that he's found something,

but that's not where I
hid the other specimen.

Like you, Zeus is
still in school

so he hasn't finished
his training yet.

He might need a
little more practice.

Okay, ladies, that's all
the forensics fun for today!

What'd you find?

[Zeus whines}

Don't touch anything.

This is a crime scene.

The old fashioned
glasses, clothing...

You don't think...

Could it be Miss Quinn?

The renovation up
there was done last...

May, June maybe?

But Eddie, our janitor, would
be able to give you exact dates.

And no, Miss Quinn
wasn't missing,

as far as we knew, anyway.

Bernadette Quinn resigned
abruptly last year

and we had no reason to think
we would ever see her again.

Are you the guy I have to thank

for all the overtime
in my future?

You know, when I
heard a detection dog

had uncovered a body, I had a
feeling I might find you here.

Well, your detective
instincts, sharp as ever.

It's more that I was
hoping to see you.

Your wish came true.

You look good, Jazz.

Sarah, good to see you.

Or should I say,
Headmistress Carrington?

Principal Carrington is fine.

Oh, does the lab know
when they're going to get

the results back
for date of death?

It'll take a couple of
days for DNA and forensics

to get back to us.

But I heard you've ID the body?

Bernadette Quinn.

She was a teacher here.

We knew her as Miss Quinn,

but we both recognized
the glasses, the clothing.

Iconic Miss Quinn.

It's a little early to
call anything conclusive

at this point, but let's
talk about the teacher.

I take it she's been marked
absent for some time now?

Miss Quinn resigned at the end
of the school year last year.

As far as we know she never
set foot in the building again.

And who all had access
to the third floor?

I've been told that I have
the only key but that room

isn't insulated or
practical for students,

so it sat empty for years.

Okay. I'm going to need to see
Miss Quinn's resignation letter,

any security footage.

Whatever will help
with the investigation.

I need a minute. Meet
in my office in ten?

Okay, let's take a moment.

Couldn't the universe
give you like a heads up

when you're going to run
into your ex-boyfriend?

I know. You're right.

I still miss him.
It's been three years!

We were great together!

You're right about that too.
We were great until we weren't.

Oh, Eddie, hey.

What did you find up there?

Um, Zeus found a body.

A body? Where?

In the floor.

In the floor?

Yeah, the police said it's
probably been there for awhile,

maybe a member of the faculty.

Miss Quinn?

They don't know who it is yet.

Why do you say her?

She was unlikable, I guess.

Everybody hated her.

Everybody?

It's much more peaceful
now that she's gone...

Retired.

Well, I'm sure the police will
know who it is soon enough.

All right.

You should get a
leash on that dog.

Okay.

Look!

Let's go.

That means Jones is
here to pick you up.

That's quite the file.

Standard records, performance
reports, time off requests.

It adds up over a
thirty year career.

Miss Quinn's resignation letter
will be on the top there.

It was on my desk when
I returned to school

at the end of summer break.

I had to scramble to
find a replacement.

Dated June 22nd.

Last day of school last year.

Well, it's a pretty
standard resignation letter.

Any idea why she
resigned so suddenly?

Miss Quinn was
nearing retirement,

and was not necessarily in
good standing with the school.

Really? Why was that?

She was...

Old school, strict.

Bernadette Quinn had a hard
time relating to the students.

She was unflinching
about the rules.

And the students had a
hard time living up to her

impossibly high standards.

Even the parents complained
about her attitude.

Yeah. Eddie told me he
overheard the students

complaining about her a lot.

I'm sorry, Eddie? Who's Eddie?

Ah, the caretaker.

It was becoming
clear that Miss Quinn

was no longer a good
fit for Astor Academy.

And as the new principal, I,
I tried to reason with her.

I even offered her a generous
retirement package but

Miss Quinn couldn't
accept that her former

least favorite student
was now in charge.

Why were you her least favorite?

It was nothing. Just a
silly prank, decades ago!

But Miss Quinn couldn't
seem to let it go.

What exactly happened?

Surely you have
better things to do

than rehashing a prank
that happened years ago?

Were you involved
in this prank too?

You're not insinuating

Sarah had something to do
with her murder, are you?

You found the body.

Sarah is the only one with
the key to the third floor.

And right now, that's all
I really have to go on.

You'll come off the list once
new evidence makes it so.

Yeah, well, maybe you should
start digging up evidence

and stop looking for headlines!

Will do, Miss Ramsey.

Listen, Miss Quinn rubbed a
lot of people the wrong way.

Someone would have to
really hate her to kill her.

Stuffing her into the floor like
that, it just felt personal.

Or they were trying
to hide something.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, this is not good.

Does Nick really think I had
something to do with this?

No, no.

He's just in his like
broody detective mode.

He's a good investigator.
He'll do his job.

Hey, do you remember when
Miss Quinn threw us detention

for our giggle fit?

The madder she got,
the harder we laughed.

I certainly wouldn't
be principal now

if Miss Quinn had
anything to do with it.

You would still be in detention!

You never got a break!

She was a good teacher, though.

Taught me a lot,
how to work hard.

She wouldn't have taught
here for over twenty years

if she wasn't a good teacher.

She just wasn't a
good teacher for me.

It's still early in
the investigation.

But I can assure you there
is absolutely no risk

to the students of Astor
Academy or it's staff.

A meeting will be held
tomorrow for any parents

that may have concerns.

But I can promise you,

we will not rest until we
have found the answers.

Jazz! What's going on?

Well, let's just say they
won't be inviting me back

to teach the kids anytime soon.

Did you find the body?

No, actually Zeus did.

Brownie points for graduation.

How awful. It's
all over the news.

It's nothing I haven't
seen before, Mom.

I don't know why you
insist on working

in such a dire profession.

Why can't you just be a
regular old dog trainer?

If you train dogs
to find bodies,

well they're going
to find bodies!

I know, if you're out there,

understand that we
are coming for you.

This force will not rest.

Can you turn that down?

Until justice is served.

I take it you bumped
into your friend today?

Uh huh.

They're more than just friends!

Mom!

Nick and Jazz were
a very cute couple.

Can you give Zeus some
extra treats and play?

We both got more than we
signed up for today, huh?

Let's go.

Go on.

So, was it tough
seeing Nick again?

I think our breakup was
tougher on you, Mom.

Your dad and I
could see the spark.

The spark was never the problem.

If anything, seeing him
today just confirmed that.

But he's still entirely
wrapped up in his work.

Well, he's missing out!

Did you come all this way for
a mother-daughter pep talk?

Umm...

Fire Chief Eaton dropped off

the contents of your
dad's locker today.

I think he would have
wanted you to have that.

No, his locker was his memorial.

It's supposed to
stay there forever.

And it did, for three years.

But, well, now the
building needs repair.

Okay, so what?

They just bulldoze through
dad's memory and move on?

It's going to be a
gorgeous renovation.

And your father
would have approved

of a new wing for
the fire station.

It's better for the crew.
It's better for the community.

Okay, look. I can't deal
with this right now.

I need to close the
center. Zeus needs dinner.

Why don't I take Zeus to
my place for a sleepover?

You could have some
time to yourself

and I could finally be
a grandma for the night.

Okay. Thank you.

You're the best.

I know.

What's so funny?

Oh, it's just Robert.

Robert?

Um, Robert is a friend that
I meet for lunch sometimes.

Like a friend date?

Jazz. I refuse to be sad
for the rest of my life.

You know, your father's legacy

is more than what
was in that locker.

Clearly you know this.

You've been following in his
footsteps your whole life.

But now it's time to take
steps forward on your own path.

That's what your dad
would have wanted.

For both of us.

Okay.

Here he is!

All right. I'll see you later.

Come on Zeus.

Do you like candy?

No! No candy!

- Hey.
- Hey.

This is an impressive
center you've set up here.

Oh, thanks.

It's also quite the
departure from your time

in the fire department.

Or your volunteer work
with search and rescue.

Yeah. The daily dose
of danger and tragedy

got to me after awhile.

Plus my heart couldn't
take it after my dad died.

Hey Jazz, I was really sorry
to hear about your dad.

It would have been nice to hear
you say that three years ago.

I'm sorry. Uh...

No. You know what? You
don't have to explain.

It doesn't matter.

We have both clearly moved on
and we should continue to do so.

So. Any movement on the case?

Well, I'm pretty certain
that you're not the killer.

Oh! Thank goodness.

Now, it's all
preliminary right now.

Just waiting on the lab
techs to finish their work.

But, we ran through all
missing persons files

in the whole state.

And there's no report
for Bernadette Quinn.

How is that possible?

How can someone goes missing for
months and no one even notices?

She must have had
acquaintances? Family?

It's sad, but it happens
more than you'd think.

Surely someone knows something.

Well, you're right about that.

Your friend Sarah
failed to mention

that she tried to
fire Miss Quinn?

And in return, Quinn
threatened to sue the school.

Did she ever talk
to you about that?

No, why would she?

Hmm, yeah. I guess
that makes sense.

She was the new principal,
it would have been

in her best interests to keep
the whole incident quiet.

What incident?

A father of one of the students
complained that Miss Quinn

was giving his daughter
unwanted attention.

Singling her out in class.

Pushing for too many
tutoring sessions.

By all accounts the father
was a bit of a squeaky wheel.

But, it would have been a
PR nightmare for the school.

And it could have led
to Sarah losing her job.

Yeah, but there has to
be more to that story.

That's my best friend
you're talking about.

I'm just following the facts.

What about the father
who made the complaints?

I mean, he must
be a suspect too?

Yeah. I'm going to
talk to him right now.

Good. I'll come with you.

What?

Oh you heard me, Nick.
I'm coming with you.

No, Jazz, you are not
joining this investigation.

My dog found the body, I went
to school with these people,

I know them.

I'm already part of it.

I thought you were
looking to step back

from tragedy and danger.

Yes.

But, I thought
about it last night.

Miss Quinn was tough and a lot
of students didn't like her,

but I did.

The homework was too hard?

Things aren't always
going to be easy for you.

Life is hard.

But if you apply yourself,
you can handle it.

You are in control
of your future.

I don't care about grammar.

I want to do search and rescue
or be a fire chief like my dad.

Why?

I want to help people when
they need it the most.

Now that's honorable work.

But it isn't easy work.

It takes focus,
diligence and grit.

Can you do that?

Good.

Now let's see it.

She never let me settle.

She pushed me, even when I
didn't want to be pushed,

to be my best.

And that helped me
to get where I am.

It's all about perspective.

And you could use a little
perspective on this case.

Is that right?

Uh huh. Plus I need to convince
you to take my best friend

off the suspect list.

Well, I guess it
would be kind of cool

to see you back in action.

Like the old days
at the academy.

But, a homicide investigation
is very different

than fire and search and rescue.

It moves at a slower pace.

You're going to need a
little patience, Jazz.

And you let me do the talking.

Okay... Detective.

Just give me one minute.

Yeah.

Hi Mom. What's up?

Robert is in the hospital!

He's fallen and broken his arm.

Robert, like Robert
from your date?

You're his emergency contact?

Yes! Robert is someone special.

A very nice man who I
like spending time with.

Okay, Mom, just...

I don't have time
to apologize to you

for wanting to be happy Jazz.

I need you to get over
here and pick up Zeus.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Everything okay?

Yeah. We just need to
make a quick stop first.

Okay.

Sorry buddy.

Only a short ride this time.

Hey now, don't be
too grumpy about it.

Now, listen here, Zeus.
We're going to find answers.

I don't want you finding
any more bodies today.

- Got it?
- Okay.

Let's not get too
chummy, you two.

We're taking him to the center
to drop him at his kennel.

No fraternizing.

You will hang out with Jones

while we talk to Mr. Manard.

Mr. Manard?

Detective Nick Kolesov.

This is my associate,
Jazz Ramsey.

Just have a few
questions for you.

Now's not really a good time.

I got to get these
boxes to the shipper.

It'll only take a minute.

When are you moving?

Saturday.

So Maddie will get to graduate

with her class at Astor?

You know, they say that moving

is one of life's more
stressful events.

It's a lot, but it's worth it.

A promotion for me and a
new chapter for Maddie.

Just leave all this behind us.

Hmmm.

Can you tell me about what
led to you filing a complaint

against Miss Quinn at
the school last year?

The principal
assigned Miss Quinn

to tutor Maddie to help
her with her dyslexia.

They had private sessions
for reading comprehension.

And how did Maddie respond
to the one-on-one teaching?

Got her grades up to where
they need to be for college.

Maddie felt like her
old happy self again.

Hmm. How so?

Maddie's always
felt misunderstood,

a bit of an outsider
because she was adopted.

It got worse when her mother
and I divorced two years ago.

And is Maddie's mother
still involved in her life?

She's out of the picture.
Maddie took it pretty hard.

So, I guess the attention
of Miss Quinn, she liked it.

Makes sense. She missed her mom.

You mentioned unwanted attention

from Miss Quinn
beyond the tutoring?

Quinn was always calling
on Maddie in class,

singled her out.

She even gave her books to
help her with her reading.

Books from an English
teacher doesn't seem...

I ended the sessions

but Quinn wouldn't stop
calling on Maddie in class.

Maddie felt singled out.

Even the other students started
making fun of her because of it.

We would bump into her
in the neighborhood,

out on the weekends.

It couldn't have
been a coincidence.

And Sarah Carrington
was so dismissive.

Quinn was a good teacher

but her obsession
with Maddie was weird.

The school completely
mishandled this whole situation.

Did Maddie ever mention
anything unusual happening?

No, she never said anything.

If you'll excuse me.

- Thanks for your time.
- Uh hmm.

You don't need to be a hot
shot detective to tell that

Maddie's dad is still
angry with Miss Quinn.

- Uh huh.
- He has motive.

It makes sense he'd be
protective of his daughter.

But was he even at
the school that day?

How would he have known
about the third floor?

Or gotten the key?

There's motive, but
not much opportunity.

Maybe there's some other way
to access the third floor

that we don't know about?

The officers checked.
There's no other access.

But I like where your head's at.

Outside the box thinking.

Why leave the body in the floor?

Hmm... That's the question.

Hey, you want to
grab some lunch?

Talk through some theories.

I don't know if I'm
ready for lunch.

You're not ready for lunch
in general, or lunch with me?

I'm going to go to the school

and talk to Sarah
about the lawsuit.

Okay.

She's more likely to open
up to you than me, anyway.

But if you talk to her, try and
remain objective, impartial.

Ask leading questions but
let her do the talking.

Okay.

You're going to do great.

Hey! Can I talk to
you for a few minutes?

I'm helping Nick with
the investigation.

Ohhhh!

No, it's not like that.

I just need to
clarify a few things.

It'll have to be later.

I'm actually about to start
the assembly in the auditorium.

Let the parents and
students know the police are

investigating and will be
offering extra protection.

What are you going
to say if they ask if

the victim is Miss Quinn?

That the police haven't
confirmed the victim's name yet.

I'm actually relieved about
that, because if everybody knew

it was Miss Quinn, I'd
have to think of something

nice to say about her.

Really, Sarah?

All the students and the faculty
will be in the auditorium,

so if you need to look
around now's a good time.

Ah! Let's go.

I brought him back
after the weekend,

safe and sound.

I appreciate that, Sarah.

And I can see you even
cleaned out his cage.

Then who is responsible
for this reckless act?

Leaving the door open
to the hamster cage

is the act of an imbecile!

Where is this poor,
innocent creature?

It's probably out there, cold
and hungry, missing its home.

Speak up now.

There are consequences
for your actions.

They must be punished!

Sarah...

Okay. Objective...

Impartial...

Sarah...

Careless.

Ah! Caught ya!

If you want some candy,
you could just ask...

Wait, were you...

You think I did it?

Jazz! Not you too!

No. I'm just trying to
stay close to the case

to keep you off
the suspect list.

I know this world. I know
the cops and I can help.

But it doesn't help if it seems
like you're hiding something.

I'm not hiding things!

Then why didn't you mention Miss
Quinn almost sued the school?

You have to tell
Nick these things,

even if you don't
think they're relevant.

Okay, look, I...

I didn't bring it up because

the situation basically
resolved itself.

I was supposed to meet
Miss Quinn and her attorney

after school on the
last day of classes,

but the meeting was
canceled last minute.

And then she resigned.

I just assumed that her
lawyer advised her not to sue.

What did Maddie Manard
have to say about it?

Maddie's a great kid
with a bright future,

but she's quiet,
keeps to herself.

Her dad is strong minded.

He's the one who pushed
for Miss Quinn to be fired

but there was no evidence
to support his accusations,

and since Maddie opposed it,

I tried to move Miss
Quinn to the library.

She spent so much
time there anyway.

What was that?

Oh! Just the usual chaos.

Who's that man?

Hello!

Can I help you?

Excuse me!

- Watch it!
- Sorry, Eddie.

I have no idea where he went.

So, you've never
seen that man before?

Positive.

All of the parents know
that they or any guests

need to sign in at the office.

What was his plan if I
didn't chase him off?

Was he here for the memorial?
He could have known Miss Quinn.

No. Why come late?
Why run away?

Are you going to tell
Nick about the man?

No, not yet.

Who's keeping things from
the investigation now?

Right. I kept a note about
the man with the limp,

but we don't even know if
he's connected to the case

and Nick's going to
stop answering my calls

if I call him every
five minutes with a

vaguely possible-ish clue.

I highly doubt Nick will ever
not answer the phone from you.

Well, once he realizes I don't
know what I'm doing! Honestly!

Search and rescue was like
running a race from A to B.

Investigation is like stumbling
through a maze blindfolded.

Can you even read that?

Yeah.

"Miss Quinn's laughter..."

No...

Oh, lawyer! Yeah,
that's the lead.

The lawyer might be the last
person who saw her alive.

Deirdre Mason.

With the law firm
Kennedy and Kline.

Did you actually meet her?

A few times.

She'd come into the school
for meetings with Miss Quinn,

and I presume to get
a feel for the school.

How many times?

She was in three
times last spring.

So it's feasible that she knew
her way around the school?

Wait a minute.

It looks like she also signed
in at 3:00 p.m. on June 22nd.

It's odd that she would be
in the building that day,

but cancel our meeting.

Yeah.

What time did she leave?

The logbook doesn't say.

But it's not unusual for
guests to forget to sign out.

Signing in is more important.

Okay. Do you have
security cameras?

Some way that we could
corroborate timelines

when people came and left.

Yup. Usually footage is only
stored for three months,

but we're in luck.

The school's attorney made me
copy the files around that time

in case Miss Quinn
took legal action.

Um, but...

I gave all this to Nick already.

That's weird. He
didn't tell me.

- Hmm.
- Anyway.

- Can I see it?
- Uh huh.

There she is with Miss Quinn.

Deirdre Mason. Always
in a business suit

All right. She
enters at 3:00 p.m.,

just like the digital
log book says.

What time did she leave?

There's me and
the other teachers

leaving between 4 and 4:45,

and Deirdre at 5:45, followed
shortly after by Eddie.

After that, no one enters
or exits the building

until a few weeks before
the end of summer break.

Miss Quinn never left
the building that day.

Why wouldn't Nick
tell me about this?

Why don't you head home?

I have to prep my fake smile
to welcome the angry parents

to the emergency PTA meeting.

Apparently, they are not
pleased that a murder suspect

is running their
daughter's school.

Yikes. Good luck.

It's all right.

I'll just tell them
what they need to hear.

Gotta love damage control!

Oh, that reminds me...

Sorry, what?

Damage control.

The parents did not love that
I let you hide real human bones

in the room with their
children for the demonstration.

Oh no. I left one of
the bones in the room!

What? I told them
it was all gone.

Jazz, you have to go get it.

I can't take any more
heat from these parents.

I'm hurrying.

Do you ever feel bad about the
prank we played on Miss Quinn?

No. Never.

I honestly thought she
would be happy that

there was another
hamster in the classroom.

But, Miss Quinn happy?
Should have known better.

Yeah.

Sarah, we have to
tell the truth!

There.

The hamster isn't lost anymore.
Miss Quinn can't be mad.

We'll never get caught

because she won't
know the difference!

But you let your
ten-year-old cousin have it.

Lies are okay if they make
other people feel better.

Just put on a smile
and act normal.

Asher?

The PTA meeting is
in the auditorium.

I am aware, Miss Ramsey.

Maddie snuck out of the
memorial and ran home

without grabbing her
stuff from her locker.

Was she upset?

I honestly don't know
what Maddie's thinking

half the time these days.

She doesn't talk to me,
she's always on the computer.

This Quinn nonsense was
supposed to be over!

Know what? It is over.

In a few days this
will all be behind us.

Jazz?

Nick?

What are you doing here?

Putting a little face
time at the PTA meeting,

calming some nerves.

You all right?

Looks like you've seen a ghost.

Yeah, um...

Sarah asked me to
remove the bone

I'd forgotten on
the third floor.

And while I was up there,

someone unlocked the
door and came up.

So there's another key?

I knew it.

Yeah, it's someone who knows
their way around crime scene,

apparently!

They could still be inside.

Using the PTA meeting as cover.

All right. I'll take a look.

See if there's
anything suspicious.

And check out Asher Manard.

And Eddie. Eddie's
always around!

He knows the school and
he's had ample opportunity

to make a copy of the key.

Well, Eddie's on my radar.
I'm going to talk to him.

Look, Jazz, I spoke
to my superiors,

and they want me to take
care of this meeting,

but then I'm going to
have to shift my focus to

more higher priority cases.

High priority?

Given Miss Quinn's... status,

there's less pressure
from family and the media.

So, what? She just
doesn't matter?

Someone just broke
into a crime scene.

Obviously there's still
something going on here!

Yeah, I'm going to check it out.

But until we get answers back
from forensics, how she died,

when she died, we're kind
of spinning our wheels here.

And I can see this
is getting to you.

It might be a good idea for
you to take a step back too.

Well, I'm not going to do that.

Because she was important to me.
She's important to the students.

This is so typical of you
if there's not a camera

or a press conference,
it's not worth your time.

Okay, that's not true.

Look, I know this
is important to you.

It's important to me. And
I'm going to do what I can.

In the press conference you said

you would do
everything you could.

Well, I have to say
that to the public.

Do you mean anything you say?

Jazz, my media presence
helps everyone!

The city needs a sense
of security and trust.

And community involvement leads
to tips which leads to arrests.

Yeah, only in high
priority cases, apparently.

It's out of my hands, Jazz.

Look, I became a detective
because I want to help people.

You know me.

No.

I knew you.

You still know me, Jazz.

The Nick I knew would have
come to my dad's funeral.

He said he cared
about my parents.

He said he loved me.

You changed.

And it hurt me.

You were so devastated by
your father's accident.

And so was your mom.

We all were.

And I just didn't know
how to make it better.

When we had broken up,

I thought at that moment
you two needed each other

more than you needed me.

That was never true.

Sorry.

I got to get to this meeting.

But I tell you what.

Tomorrow morning after
my shift we can meet up.

Okay, we'll go
over some evidence.

I want your read on this.

I need your help.

Jazz, I'm glad you called.

Mom, someone's been planting
flowers at dad's grave!

That was me, honey.

You can't even keep
a cactus alive.

Gardening was dad's thing.

Well, I've had a lot of time on
my hands since your dad died.

I thought I would
take up gardening.

You did that for dad?

We find our own way to
honor those we love.

I'm sorry I was so hard
on you the other day.

I'm sure Robert is very nice.

How's he doing, by the way?

He's just fine.

It turns out his
arm wasn't broken.

Soft tissue damage
is still painful.

I really am sorry.

I was just having a tough day.

It's been a tough couple of
years, if I'm being honest.

I'm sorry...

I really miss Dad.

Me too.

What would he say if the two
of you were talking right now?

Chin up, Jazzie.

Let me call you back, Mom.

All right. Love you.

You too.

Come on.

Hey, have you been following us?

You can try running away, but

I don't think you'll get far.

What were you doing
at the school today?

I know I shouldn't
have been there,

but I was starting to get
worried about Bernadette.

Bernadette's been
gone for how long?

The police think a
little over a year.

You with the police?

No. No no no. I'm just helping
with the investigation.

I'm Jazz.

Ramsey.

Sam. Sam Tilner.

Bernadette was my cousin.

Well, estranged cousin.

When was the last time
you saw Bernadette?

We'd summer together
at the family cottage.

Thick as thieves as kids.

We haven't really
spoken for many years.

I fell on some hard
times a few years back.

Found myself unhoused.

Instead of offering to help me,

Bernadette judged me for the
decisions that led me there.

She wasn't kind.

Do you and Bernadette
have any other family?

No, I'm the last of the living.

She didn't have
any friends either.

A hard person to get along with?

She chose to live that way.

Always kept people
at a distance.

She can't be blamed for that.

Bernadette changed.

She was never the same
after the accident.

What accident?

The door's open.

Morning!

Good morning.

Did you get my messages?

Uh, yeah.

It's 7:00 a.m., you know.

Yeah, but you said you
had evidence for me.

I was thinking maybe we
could talk about us first.

I think we've already
talked enough about us.

Let's just focus on work.

Okay.

Um...

I'm still waiting to
get the full report,

but the lab sent this over.

It's photos of everything
that was found on the victim.

Wait!

I want to show you something.

Okay...

This is our class photo.

That's Miss Quinn, with
the cat-eye glasses.

Uh huh.

She always used to wear them
on a chain around her neck.

Okay.

So the glasses do suggest that
the victim could be Miss Quinn.

And, the dental
records agree with you.

So it's definitely Miss Quinn!

Dental records say so, but
I like to wait for DNA.

Well, you're thorough.
I'll give you that.

So what do you got for me?

Okay...

Twenty years ago, Miss Quinn
was hit by a drunk driver.

Her husband and daughter
were killed in the accident.

Yikes.

Okay, now I'm awake.

Her daughter was only
fourteen at the time.

Man, that's tragic.

And you think this is
relevant to the case somehow?

It's just Miss Quinn had this
whole life outside of school

that no one knew anything about.

And then she lost it.

It's feasible that she
fought so hard not to retire

because her job was all she had.

I think that's relevant.

Yeah, I agree.

I'm just going to pull
up the police report.

Okay, it says here the person
that was driving the car

that hit them was a young
woman named Susan Harper.

She was intoxicated.

Susan's lawyer argues that
there was ice on the road,

the car skidded out,
Miss Quinn's did,

before they hit.

Yeah, but how is that relevant?
Susan was intoxicated.

Well, it was her first offense,

so she did jail time but
it was a lenient sentence.

The question is, what do you
want me to do with all this?

I don't know yet.

But I'm thinking about
Miss Quinn's life.

I mean she must
have lived somewhere

before she disappeared?

Wouldn't it be pretty obvious
to a landlord or the city

if she just stopped paying
rent or property taxes?

That's a good point.

Gotcha.

2276 King Street, Cleveland.

It looks like she purchased
the property with her husband

in the late 90's and it hasn't
been on the market since.

The property is still
listed under her name.

Utility bills, property tax,

it's all been paid in
full the last year.

The question is by who?

I don't know.

But I'm going to find out.

Well, I think we
should do it together.

I don't want you taking
any unnecessary risks

like you did at the
school yesterday.

That's a good
idea. I'll drive.

I can't go now.

I got to be in court all day,
testifying on another case.

It's going to have to
wait until tonight.

Seriously?

Jazz, I'm giving you
everything I can here.

I'm all yours outside
of office hours.

Is that your best offer?

Yup.

Fine. I'll take it.

See you tonight.

I'll meet you at the house.

Bye.

We're sorry.

Your call cannot be
completed as dialed.

Please check the
number and dial again.

Kennedy and Kline, how
can I direct your call?

Hey, may I please speak
with Deirdre Mason?

Miss Mason no longer
works at the firm.

She resigned last year.

Oh. Well, do you happen to
know what firm she moved to?

Or how I can reach her?

No idea.

She sent a letter of resignation
letter and it never came back.

Really?

Could you maybe tell me...

I'm not your personal
search engine, ma'am,

and I cannot give
out information

about former employees.

I'm going to need Nick's badge
for that resignation letter.

What am I missing?

Hello?

Hey! Where are you?
I'm at the house.

The house?

Miss Quinn's house.

You forgot.

No, I did not forget.

But, you're going
to have to sit tight

because I have some
paper work to do.

I just got out of court and
captain's waiting on it.

I don't know if it
slipped your mind,

but sitting tight isn't
exactly one of my strong suits.

Maybe make it your strong suit
at least until I get there.

Look Jazz, I told you,
investigations, they take time.

Yeah, but the lights
are on in the house!

I mean, whoever's living
in Miss Quinn's house

is right in front of me. I
can just knock on the door.

Jazz, I would not do that.

Okay, fine. I promise I
won't knock on the door.

Excuse me...

Sam!

Funny running into you again.

So, you've been squatting
here since last summer?

Not squatting, house sitting!

Bernadette sent me a message
to watch her cat for a while.

She was retiring and

taking a trip to our
family's country home.

So I did what she asked.

And...

She never came back.

You didn't think that was odd?

I thought retirement to the
country had been good to her

and she decided to stay.

And leave you her house?

I actually thought she
was taking pity on me.

Bernadette shamed me for the
choices that I made in my life.

She knew that all I
needed was a break.

Some help to get
me back on my feet.

But when I heard about
the body at the school,

I thought about how
long she's been away.

I got worried.

So you've been
paying all her bills?

It only made sense.

I know it seems strange.

But Bernadette used
to say that this house

hasn't really been her home
since her family was killed.

Did Miss Quinn leave any
personal items behind?

All kinds of stuff.

I just cleaned her desk

and some random stuff
she had lying about.

So they would all be in one
place when she got back.

Her daughter sure
was a lovely girl.

No, this is Miss
Quinn's student, Maddie.

This one is Laila.

I remember Bernadette taking
this, like twenty years ago.

A little more, maybe.

What's that?

Jazz! I told you to wait!

Ah, the exciting stuff
happened in the park after.

Are you okay?

How badly are you hurt?

No, it's just a few scrapes.

I need to show you what I
found in Miss Quinn's house.

Exhibit A, Miss Quinn's student.

Exhibit B, Miss
Quinn's daughter.

The one that was killed in
the drunk driving accident.

Yeah. The resemblance!

Huh...

It's uncanny.

No. We don't know the
extent to which Maddie knew

Miss Quinn's investment in
her, but if her dad did...

Did you know that they're
moving out of the country?

And if they leave, we
won't get them back.

We won't be able
to question them.

All right.

This is something.
We're getting closer.

Then there's Sam Tilner.

You know, he had
a lot to benefit

from Miss Quinn's disappearance.

He had a place to live,
a fresh start to life.

There's Eddie! Eddie
just pops up everywhere.

There's a lawyer, you know,
and her resignation letter!

Jazz, Jazz. Take a
breath. Okay? Slow down.

No, no, I'm fine.

You're not fine, Jazz.

You got to be aware
of your surroundings.

You can't help people if
you need help yourself.

Look, we're going to fix you
up, then we'll look at the case.

They got you pretty
good up here.

It's just a surface
wound. It'll heal.

It's the stuff underneath you
can't see that really hurts.

How's your mom holding up?

Same as me. Heartbroken.

Your dad was such a good man.

I looked up to him.

I really didn't think
you would have wanted

to see me at that funeral.

All I wanted was to see you.

For you to just show
up and prove me wrong.

I wanted to.

I was devastated too.

And then I got pulled
into a big case and...

Listen, for what it's worth,

I get why you broke
it off with me.

I wasn't able to be the
boyfriend you deserved.

I had to focus so
much on my career.

Well, an aside,
I'm happy for you.

The TV, the promotion.

You got everything you wanted.

Well... Not quite yet.

But you seem like you're
in a better place now.

Yeah, training the
dogs, it's healing.

And if I can help bring
closure to other families

who are missing their
loved ones then...

That's meaningful.

You're also turning into
quite the investigator.

Okay.

But I have to insist
we work together

on the Quinn case, here on out.

Well, I thought you said
this case wasn't priority?

Well, maybe you are.

I kept thinking when
I was laying there,

all I have to come home to is a

freezer full of human remains
and samples for the dogs.

No, I'm serious.

I don't want to end up
alone like Miss Quinn.

It's impossible.

I should let you get some sleep.

Yeah.

We can start fresh on
this in the morning.

Good night.

Good night.

Here.

Nice.

I got a call today
from your teacher.

The strict one. Miss Quinn?

She thinks Sarah's a bad
influence on you because

she convinced you to pull
the old hamster switcheroo.

And she's upset because
you and Sarah thought

she wouldn't notice
a difference.

All our actions have
consequences, Jazz.

But it seems to me
like, you and Sarah,

you guys were trying to
make things right. Yeah?

But you feel bad about
lying, don't you?

Where do you feel that?

Do you feel that in the
pit of your stomach?

Yeah. That awful feeling,
that's today's consequence.

Chin up, Jazzie.

You're going to make mistakes.

But you're going
to get it right.

Uh huh. Uh huh.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Morning. Make
yourself comfortable.

I was beginning to worry
you had a concussion.

You, ah, making an omelette?

Ha ha.

How did you get in here?

I forgot I actually
still have a key.

You gave it to me
for emergencies.

You really should change
your locks every few years.

It's too early for lectures.

It's not too early
to solve this case.

I already contacted the offices
of Kennedy and Kline and they're

going to send over a copy of
Deirdre's resignation letter.

Hmm. Thank goodness for
that badge of yours.

I'm also going to
get that fabric

that you ripped off the
attacker, bring it to the lab,

see if we can lift
any DNA off it.

Okay, now you're
just showing off.

I'm going to pick up
Zeus, go into the school.

I think Sarah and Asher
Manard should know

about the photos Miss
Quinn had of Maddie.

Yeah, good idea.

Jazz! What happened
to your head?

I'll tell you later.

Any chance you
contacted Maddie's dad?

He said he couldn't
join us until later.

What is this about?

We're going to need a
quiet place to talk.

Zeus!

I told you, I can't stand dogs.

Eddie, the dog is restrained.

Open the door, show me your
hands and come out slowly.

What is with you around here?

I'm just trying to do my job!

You can't just sic
your dog on me!

Come on! He's probably just
looking for some chicken

I had for lunch yesterday.

Zeus!

Looks like Zeus found
what he was looking for.

You attacked me?

No no! Why would I do that?

You tell me.

I'm saying nothing. I
haven't done anything.

We'll see about that.

I'm telling you, I had
nothing to do with the murder.

So you'll attack a woman
walking alone but...

Murder, that's a
step too far for you?

I was only trying to
send Jazz a message.

You're not telling
me the truth, Eddie.

I'm not lying!

My officers found a bag full of
cash and poker chips in here.

Do you want to explain
that one to me.

That does not make
me a murderer.

Maybe not.

But it's pretty suspicious,
don't you think?

It's, an inheritance, I swear!

I keep it upstairs
with the books.

No one goes up there.
No one else had a key.

I just like to keep
it safe, that's all.

Or maybe you have
a gambling problem.

Maybe you're into
something illegal.

And maybe Miss Quinn
figured it out.

Or she at least had her
suspicions, like I do.

Or maybe she threatened
to report you

and you needed to
keep her quiet.

She was on the outs
with the school anyway.

You knew about the renovations.

You had plenty of time to
make a copy of that key.

You had motive, opportunity.

I think you killed her and
put her body in that floor.

So you keep...

I did not kill her...

Eddie, I've seen the footage.

You were the last person to
walk out of this building

before the summer break.

Okay, fine.

I take a bit of money from the
school and I use it to gamble.

But I always put it back.

I am not a killer!

You can tell me all about
that down at the station.

I guess you never
really know someone.

Eddie was always so
chill and easygoing.

I mean, he was unreliable

and got around things
in his own time, but...

It's all starting to add up.

It is a relief to get
to the bottom of this

so we can just put it behind us.

Eddie attacked me
because he didn't want me

to expose he was stealing
money from the school.

But, it's rash, short-sighted.

To kill someone over it?

Asher. Thank you so
much for coming in.

You again?

Detective Kolesov was pulled
off on an urgent matter.

He'll be joining us soon.

When will Maddie be joining us?

As soon as you call
her from her classroom.

Maddie's not at school today.

What do you mean,
she's not at school?

I already checked.
She never signed in.

They're identical.

Miss Quinn's, Deirdre Mason's...

Two different women with the
exact same resignation letter.

Kennedy and Kline.

Yes, this is Detective Kolesov.

Yeah, I'm looking at
the resignation letter

you sent over earlier.

Can you offer me any insight as
to why Deirdre Mason resigned?

You'd have to ask her.
She left without warning.

Never even cleaned out her desk.

The whole thing was
totally unprofessional.

And would you consider that to
be out of character for her?

Well it was odd because
every one of the partners say

that Deirdre worked so hard
to turn her life around

and do some good.

They should really do
better background checks

on the people they hire.

Thank you very much.

She's not answering.
Something's wrong.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Did Maddie say or do anything
unusual this morning?

I told her to stay
home and pack,

but she insisted on
coming to school.

She said she had to
pack her books up,

and she needed to stay late
for a club or something.

And how was she feeling
about your upcoming move?

She was really excited
about it for a few weeks and

then recently she got
very overdramatic,

said she was nervous
about moving so far away.

Kids her age can struggle
with being uprooted.

They long for
familiarity, stability.

Then why would she run away?

Well, if she was upset then

maybe she's seeking comfort
with family, friends?

She's close to some
cousins, sort of,

but they're out of town.

The other day Maddie
mentioned to me a friend

that she spoke to a lot.

Yeah. She had
mentioned this friend.

I haven't met her yet. She
hasn't come to the house

Laila, that's her name.

Laila...

Maybe I can find her online.

Does Maddie spend a
lot of time online?

Playing apps, games.

She doesn't have
a lot of friends.

Here, Maddie's friends list.

Okay, Laila...

Here she is.

She doesn't have
any other friends

and her profile picture's a cat.

What teenage girl do you
know that doesn't have

a single photo of
themselves online?

I don't think this
is a real profile.

I think it's a catfish.

I think I know where Maddie is.

Stay with Sarah.

I'm going to go check the house.

Oh, okay...

Deirdre Mason is Susan Harper.

Maddie!

Are you okay?

Jasmine Ramsey...

As I live and breathe.

I wish I could say I
was happy to see you.

The feeling is mutual, my dear.

But if you'll excuse us,

Laila and I have
a plane to catch.

Laila, your daughter, is dead.

I don't know what
you're doing here,

but this has to stop.

Do you have a daughter, Jasmine?

No.

Then you can't begin
to imagine the love

a mother feels for her daughter.

The bond!

You'll never understand
the loss I feel

and the sacrifices I have had
to endure to get her back.

Come on, Jazz, pick up!

Come on!

You're right.

I don't understand.
But I'd like to try.

Susan Harper destroyed
my life in an instant.

She deserved to
pay for her sins.

Susan Harper served
her sentence.

She was filled with remorse.

Then why was I the one living

a life sentence
without my family?

Why did she get to
live a reformed life

when she took the lives
of two beautiful people?

Because life is just hard.

You taught me that.

So I took control of my life.

When I realized that God
gave me a second chance

with Laila, my daughter
reincarnated in Maddie,

I knew I had to reform my life.

And Susan Harper's had to end.

Put your bag on Laila, dear.

Please don't do this.

Jazz?

Nick!

Are you okay?

Put it down!

Maddie is innocent in this.

Innocent? Of course
my Laila is innocent.

She deserved to live
with her mother.

Not like that Susan. She
didn't deserve anything

Susan didn't deserve a
life sentence either.

She turned her life around.

She couldn't change the past,

but she wanted to help people.

And she never
stopped speaking out

about drunk driving.

No! She was a monster.

You tracked her for
years, didn't you?

In prison and then law school.

And then when she changed
her name to Deirdre Mason.

Deirdre Mason was the
body in the floor.

Who are you?

Susan Harper, Deirdre Mason?

How does this work?

That's actually a good question.

Susan, Deirdre, Bernadette?

Which iteration should I be?

Making Deirdre disappear
was easy enough.

Just a simple switcheroo!

Thanks to you and your
friend Sarah for that idea.

But Sarah and I had nothing
to do with any of this.

Our classroom hamster.

Don't you remember, Jasmine?

Sarah put a new one in its place

and thought I'd never
know the difference.

No, that was a prank, at worst.

Sarah's cousin begged us

to take care of
the classroom pet.

We thought you'd assume
he got lost in the school,

but you were so upset
so we replaced him.

But we never killed
anyone. That was you!

Thank you!

I'll take full credit.

I had all the resources
I needed in the library.

And Deirdre Mason

was more than happy to help.

I mean,

she wasn't very happy as the
final pieces fell into place.

What's with all this?

What's going on?

It's a terrible truth
that as women age...

They become invisible

in the eyes of society.

But this time it
worked in my favor.

Alas, it's time for
me to disappear again.

Now that I have
my daughter back.

It's time for my
happily ever after.

And in case you
didn't get the hint,

no one is going to stop me now.

Are you okay?

Laila!

Okay. Okay.

It's okay.

It scares me how much planning

Miss Quinn put into
hurting Deirdre.

She looks exactly
like her there.

I know. The clothing, the wig,

the camera angle, she
thought of everything.

You know, she even hacked
the dental records.

You should not
have gone in alone.

I know. Never go
in without backup.

I just, I thought
I knew Miss Quinn.

You know, if I saw her
I could calm her down,

that she wouldn't hurt Maddie.

I'll never do it
again. Promise.

If you'd been hurt,

I couldn't have lived with that.

Dad would have really
loved all these flowers.

He would.

He does.

Chin up, right Dad?

He's so proud of you.

I am too.

Training crime dogs?

Catching a killer?

That, Jasmine Ramsey, is a
path only you could walk.

Thanks, Mom.

Hey, do you want to
get something to eat

at that Italian place
down the street?

Yeah. That sounds good.

Whoof, that's a relief.

Because I invited Robert.
He's probably already there.

Jazz?

Are you sure you're
ready for that?

Definitely.

I am learning things are
not always as they seem.

And I want to meet the man
who makes my Mom so happy.

Because you deserve
to be happy, Mom.

You do too, sweetie.

All right, let's eat.

We have a graduation to get to.

You're going to
miss him, won't you?

It's going to be hard sending
him off to his new life,

but that's my service.

Oh. Okay. Come on.

Service, huh?

I've got a garden that

could use a little
bit of that service.

Never thought I'd see this day.

Zeus really stepped it up.

He's such a good dog.

You're a great trainer.

Thank you.

But Zeus does almost
all the important work.

It's Nick. He's outside.

Hi!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I though you might want to know

the DNA results came back.

It confirms the body
on the third floor

was Deirdre Mason's.

Cold comfort, but closure.

Yeah.

You know, I couldn't have
solved this case without you.

We couldn't have solved
this case without Zeus.

That's true.

Any word from Maddie?

Yeah. Her and her dad made
it safely to South America.

I think she was ready for
a change, after all this.

She actually asked if Zeus
and I would be her pen pals.

Although, I suspect she just
wants cute pictures of Zeus.

I think you're right.

So what happens with Zeus?

Well, Zeus is going to
a K-9 unit in Georgia.

They're very
excited to have him.

And what about you?

Me? Um...

I love training dogs.

There will always be more
pups to foster and train, so.

I thought you might say
something like that.

Hey buddy!

Just a little something
for the future.

For me?

Yeah.

A new partner. A new friend.

Oh!

Oh my goodness.

Hello. Hello.

Also you should know I've
been talking to the squad,

I'm recommending a full
time K-9 unit consultant.

And I think I know
the perfect person.

Sorry, I have to...

Yes, Chief.

Yeah.

I'll be right there, sir.

Let me guess, you have to go?

Raincheck?

Yeah.

Hey Nick?

Thank you.

This means a lot.

See you soon, Jazz.

Okay, what are we
going to name you?

You look like an Odin.

Barnaby?

Oh, Thor.
