Hudson and Rex (2019) s02e11 Episode Script

Oh! Sorry! Don't be mad.
I didn't see you.
Driver on.
Driver on.
Where would you like to go? Exit the facility.
Please enter your destination coordinates.
You're sure she didn't say anything? She was gone before I got here.
She took one of the cars? According to the return signal I got a few minutes ago, yes.
Honestly.
Here she comes now.
She's not even in it.
I'm going to kill her.
At least we know it works.
Relax, I'll give her a call.
I'm doing it.
I'll give her a piece of my mind.
Sarah.
The Coroner called us due to the unusual circumstances.
How unusual are we talking? Well, the deceased drove herself back to work.
Brings new meaning to Dead On Arrival.
Whether for accessibility prevention of drunk driving or simply a stress-free commute Zoomii? It's a tech startup that designs rigs and software that turn regular cars into self-driving ones.
Here, the deceased is April Richards, the Chief Engineer.
Cause of death? Broken capillaries and a reddish discolouration on the skin.
Likely carbon monoxide poisoning.
Also specks of dried blood on her neck.
What is that? Oh, yeah.
We're dealing with that.
That's April's robot dog.
Apparently, she brought it with her everywhere.
Her very own Rex.
I know, buddy.
There's only one Rex.
Yeah, I still smell the exhaust.
I wonder if there's a malfunction? I'll check the hood.
Is there any water vapour next to the driver, on Driver on.
Where would you like to go? Sorry.
I didn't catch that.
Sorry.
I didn't catch that.
It must be the self-driving car interface.
Uh, driver off.
Thank you.
Manual control engaged.
Talking cars.
That's new, too! Any idea on time of death? Rigour hasn't set yet.
I'd say An hour, an hour and a half ago.
Tops.
So 1:30, 2:00.
No defensive wounds.
No signs of foul play in the car.
So, what do you think? Suicide, maybe? Seems like an elaborate way to die without a suicide note.
Oh, hold on.
There's a bit of trauma here at the base of the skull underneath the hair.
Enough to kill her? Enough to knock her out.
So the carbon monoxide could do the rest.
Look at this.
Looks like this has been jury-rigged to feed exhaust into the air ventilation system.
Okay, then it's official.
We have ourselves a homicide.
I was working on the SUVs when I saw her car pull in.
It was about 2:15.
I just can't believe she's gone.
Were you and April close? She was my sister's best friend.
We all grew up about an hour outside of here.
That's right, in Axtonville.
You're the chief mechanic here.
April brought me out here.
She got me the job.
What is it, buddy? Are those April's coveralls? She liked to poke her head underneath a hood every once in a while.
Her dad was a trucker like mine.
She used to stay with us whenever he was on long haul.
So the car had been tampered with.
The other mechanic said he checked it this morning.
I initialed it too.
The car was in perfect condition.
It must've been tampered with when she was out.
So how does April's car drive back here with her dead inside? I really don't know.
So you are Mica Arora and Sixie Chiu? Where are you with the investigation? I'd like to stay posted on the updates.
Uh, well, with all due respect - Ms.
Arora - Mica.
We're launching in two weeks.
And our chief engineer was murdered.
I need answers.
So you two started up Zoomii with April? Well, April was the vision.
She designed and built the rigs.
April's mother was losing her sight.
So April designed the tech so that her mother's car can drive her.
That's our April.
I'm our chief programmer.
I turn all that vision into code.
How do these cars work exactly? Um- This is a Zoomii rig.
It contains a bunch of laser sensors that map out the physical space.
- Like eyes.
- The eyes scan the road feeding data to a tablet with Zoomii software, which tells the car to go faster, to brake.
To turn left or right.
So any car with this kind of a rig can turn into a Zoomii car.
That's the plan.
We're in the test phase now.
So far, we have five cars that have been successfully fitted with the Zoomii rig.
So how did April's car return by itself? She must've set her route to Zoomii.
You can program it to any destination.
How is this legal? I mean, are these things even allowed on the streets? Well we're still waiting for approval for the self-drive.
We just used that function for the test fields.
So why was she using the self-drive? April must have had a reason.
Where were the two of you earlier today? I was at a launch meeting in the morning.
And then I had a cost report in the afternoon.
Sixie can vouch for me.
Yes.
And I was logged into my terminal all day.
You can check.
Rex.
Detective Hudson.
Yeah? April was more than our business partner.
She was our friend.
Please find who did this.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, Mr.
Richards.
But we believe your daughter was murdered.
Did April ever mention to you anyone she was having problems with? Co-workers, ex-partner? Enemies? To be honest, Detective, my daughter and I weren't talking much.
What does that mean? I'm a trucker.
My life is about driving.
Most of Axtonville makes their living that way.
And she was building something that will end your industry.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm proud of my girl.
She was always the smartest one in the room.
I know she meant well.
And she did it for her Mom and all, but back home, not everyone was so on board.
Can you think of anyone specifically who was angry with Zoomii? Axtonville is less than 30,000 people.
We like our cars the old-fashioned way, driven by people.
You didn't answer my question.
I don't know what to tell you, Detective.
But if you're looking for suspects in Axtonville? I'd say you've got 30,000.
Whether for accessibility prevention of drunk driving or simply a stress-free commute Zoomii technology is driving us into the future! And none of this would exist without the two brilliant women standing next to me.
Mica Arora and Sixie Chiu.
April was such a game-changer.
Why would anyone want to kill her? Maybe this is why.
Six months ago, Zoomii was scheduled to launch.
Then days before, they scrubbed it.
Did they give a reason? Well, they claimed it was due to a pivot in marketing.
But people in the industry, they were skeptical.
Must've cost millions.
Yeah, and money equals motive.
Hey Jesse, did you find anything in April's schedule? Actually, yeah.
Yeah.
It wasn't that she missed any of her appointments.
It's that they were all fake.
She wanted to keep her schedule secret.
Yeah, I also decrypted April's Zoomii files and got this.
Look.
It's a map of April's final voyage.
Now, there's a blackout between here and here.
Between 11:40 AM and 1:30 PM.
Well, that's the same blackout as her phoney schedule.
What was she doing? Well, she was last seen at a gas station.
Right here.
I got CCTV of her there alive and well at 11:45 AM.
What about this line right here? That's where the self-drive turns back on.
Right here.
At 1:30 PM.
But did she turn it on? Or did her killer? No way to tell.
Come on, Rex.
Let's check this out and see what we can find.
We'll keep in touch.
Looks pretty deserted, pal.
Alright.
Let's see if you can find something, buddy.
Track it.
Good effort, partner.
We just checked the location where April's self-drive was reactivated after the GPS blackout.
Completely secluded.
No CCTV.
It's the perfect place to rig the ventilation system without being seen.
Yeah, or to make sure April didn't wake up.
That's giving them an alibi.
Is that Charlie? - Charlie, it's Jesse.
- Jesse? Charlie, I checked the police logs.
And a witness described a car going the wrong way down a one-way street 1:00 PM.
It was also described as having sort of weird speakers on the roof.
That's the Zoomii rig.
That might be our killer during the GPS blackout.
- You got an intersection? - Yes.
Wilkes and Ashgrove.
Perfect timing.
I'm turning onto it right now.
What'd you find? Blood.
Nice job, partner.
We just found the weapon that knocked out April.
Hey.
DNA was a match to April's blood.
The hit came from behind which means the killer caught April by surprise.
That explains the lack of defensive wounds.
Yeah.
And there's no blood on her fingers from checking the wound.
So it's unlikely she ever regained consciousness.
So the killer moved April to a location where they could rig the exhaust without being seen before putting on the auto-pilot.
They must've thrown the rock out the window during the move.
Hey, I thought there were no dogs allowed in here.
Yeah, well Rex can damage evidence.
The robot dog doesn't.
Hi! Besides, he's kind of cute.
I get why ooh! I get why April kept him around.
Really? Well, everybody needs a Rex.
No substitute for the real thing.
Right, pal? Speaking of which, I swabbed him and sent it in for DNA testing.
We were able to pull some fingerprints.
But no hits from the database.
Well, I hope you're not getting too attached to that thing.
Because you do realize that once you're done your tests, that Jesse's going to have to take him apart.
Take him apart? No! He's a robot.
Anyway.
I found this- in the inner pocket of April's coat, with bits of bright yellow paint on it.
Is this a bolt from a car? Could be.
I called the body shop.
And apparently, the paint colour is rare.
Detonator Yellow.
Ooh, how explosive.
I didn't see any Zoomii cars painted in that colour.
Yeah, me neither.
What did she find that she needed to hide? Anything else? Uh Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the autopsy report confirms that the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
They ran tests.
And apparently it took 20 minutes for the car to fill up.
Less than five for her to suffocate.
So the car needed to be on the road for at least 25 minutes before returning to Zoomii.
April took the self-drive off at 11:40 and was last seen at the gas station at 11:45.
Witnesses saw the car going the wrong way down Ashgrove Road at around 1:00 PM.
And you found the rock further back.
Yeah, the GPS system picks back up at 1:30 at the water, drives 45 minutes, takes the long route to Zoomii, gets there at 2:15.
So we need to check all the Zoomii alibis between 11:45 and 1:30 PM.
I might be able to help with that.
I unlocked April's phone.
Last message was sent at 12:05.
That's between the gas station and when April's car was seen on Ashgrove.
What does the text say? You guys should have told me.
Meet me at The Dover.
Sixie, we need to talk.
The Dover? Let's bring Sixie in.
I'll fact-check as we go.
Where is The Dover? It's on the east side of Draymond.
Why? That's a pretty shady part of town.
Not the type of bar I see you going.
And what kind of bar would I go to? Well, I'm guessing not a biker bar 30 minutes away from Zoomii.
Why did you lie to me about where you were? Technically, I said I was logged into my terminal.
And I still was when I got April's message and went to meet her at The Dover.
But she never showed.
So I went back to Zoomii.
Why The Dover of all places? I don't know.
Maybe it was a prank? Stand me up in a sketchy bar.
Well the joke's on her, because she's dead.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'm calling in regard to a woman who might have been at your bar the other day.
I'm sending you a picture now.
I just I get weird around authority.
Especially when it's just an omniscient voice.
Ah! Yeah, that's way more terrifying.
Okay, thank you.
I just spoke to the bartender.
She was definitely there between 12:10 and 12:45.
And he didn't see anyone that Don't touch the glass.
He didn't see anyone that looked like April.
Yeah.
So that part's the truth.
Yeah.
The text that April sent you that said: You guys should have told me.
What should you have told her? I don't know.
She said you guys.
Who's the other person? Mica? I don't know.
April was hiding her schedule from the rest of Zoomii including your meeting.
Why? I think she found out.
Found what out? That Mica was considering selling Zoomii.
And she called you? Why? I think April was trying to get me to side with her.
Because two against one is a majority.
She didn't want you to sell.
We just went through April's files.
Yeah.
Guess where the seed money for Zoomii came from.
Mica's trust fund.
So she's got everything riding on Zoomii.
Were you with Mica? Were you going to sell? We couldn't afford to push the launch.
We were bleeding cash.
Mica crunched the numbers.
We're on the verge of bankruptcy.
What am I supposed to do? It's difficult being the deciding vote.
Every day it's Sophie's Choice with them.
April and Mica wanted very different things.
What do you mean? April wanted to go big.
Zoomii was not just cars.
But for planes, boats, anything.
But while Mica wanted to launch as fast as possible.
Mica won.
Five rigs for five different models of cars on standby.
But if Mica won, why did she delay the launch- six months ago? I don't know exactly.
She said it wasn't market friendly.
That must've created a lot of conflict between her and April.
Mica had nothing to do with April's murder, if that's where you're going.
Are you sure about that? Hmm? Because you hesitated, when you corroborated her alibi.
Anything you want to tell me? I told you.
I get nervous around authority.
Okay, well I hope you're telling the truth.
Because if you're lying to me you could be an accessory to murder.
Charlie.
I decrypted April's email.
Look.
She definitely wasn't paranoid.
She found out there was a secret offer to buy Zoomii.
Well that's a pretty penny.
Yeah.
Yes, there was tension between April and me.
That's normal.
It's not easy to run a company with your friends.
Not everyone agrees.
So someone has to make the tough decisions.
Why didn't you tell April about the offer? It was a backup plan.
No need to worry her if it's not necessary.
Sixie said you pushed the launch.
Launching a new product is always risky.
You do one thing wrong, you lose everything.
You've got to protect your investment.
You know what I think? You wanted out.
There was an offer on the table.
You knew April would never sell.
You don't know what you're talking about.
And if the company looked like it was going to go bankrupt you'd be able to twist Sixie's arm.
Which is why you pushed the launch.
The tech wasn't ready.
If we launched too soon, people would get hurt.
- April got hurt.
- I loved April.
And the best way to honour her memory is to make sure that the dream we built together survives.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to prep for a new launch.
Sixie could've knocked April out.
But she was at the bar when April's car was being moved.
Yeah, Mica's car was at Zoomii all day.
But no one saw her between 12:45 and 1:15.
Any update on forensics? There was no DNA on Terabyte other than April's.
So I'm just walking him up to Jesse.
Terabyte? You name him? Well, he looks like a Terabyte.
And he's grown on me.
Look.
He's following me around everywhere.
Wait a second.
He's following you? If Terabyte's been following you around he has a navigation system.
Oh wow.
Maybe even a GPS.
So, I looked into Terabyte's programming.
Turns out that it is running the same program as Zoomii.
Which means it built a map of everywhere it went the day that April was murdered.
Um, it's a he.
Not an it.
Right.
Anywho.
- That's right.
- Right? Check this out.
Okay.
Okay.
I had to analyze the data to figure out what I was even looking at.
But Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Right there.
It's a map of the city.
It looks like Terabyte was parked here.
Yeah, that's Creekwood Avenue before it turns into Winter.
Good job Terabyte.
Good job.
Yeah.
I know how you feel.
I did all the work.
Come on, pal.
Rex.
Here, buddy.
Track it.
Perfect fit.
We just found where April was knocked out.
Good job, buddy.
Hey.
Good find.
Yeah, thank Rex.
Okay, so this blood pattern here is in passive drops.
It's consistent with a head injury.
Here's a closer look.
Well, this is where Terabyte's GPS showed that April's car was parked.
So she was probably hit here and then shoved into her car.
Yeah, and there's something else.
We also found faded skid patterns on the road.
- Yeah? - They look old.
But from what we've figured out- there are two sets of braking marks.
And here, look.
Paint.
Detonator Yellow.
Where is this? Number three.
That's just like the bolt we found in April's shirt.
That's not all.
There's also a different patch of blood over there.
It's darker, oxidized.
It looks like it's a few months old.
So here we have old blood, skid marks.
What was April doing at the site of an old car accident? With the bolt in her pocket? It looks like she was investigating it.
What have you got, pal? Hey, Charlie! Hey Jesse.
I need you to look into all accident reports on Creekwood- just east of where it turns into Winter.
Sarah's on her way back with forensics.
She is? Um-how soon? Look for anything with yellow paint.
Any injuries.
Someone was hurt here.
And it has something to do with April's murder.
Charlie? And I think I know who can tell us.
I'm not supposed to talk to you until my lawyer gets here.
Yeah.
I get that.
But I wanted your lawyer to know that you have an alibi for the time of the murder.
The only problem is- that alibi puts you in the exact time and place for knocking out April.
What are you talking about? April was knocked out by her car between 12:05 and 12:45.
Which means that you could've knocked her out.
And you could have ran to The Dover to establish your alibi while someone else moved her rigged the car to kill her, and put it into self-drive.
I wasn't establishing an alibi.
I was being stood up.
We found this in April's pocket.
Is that a bolt from a Zoomii car? Look at it.
Did April find out that you and Mica were trying to sabotage the launch? Maybe even the cars? I don't know anything about this.
We didn't sabotage the launch.
The cars do work.
Then why didn't you launch? Because.
Because why? I'm not supposed to talk to you.
Sixie.
Sixie wouldn't talk.
I'm hoping you will.
Sixie is my boss.
But if she killed April, then you could be an accessory.
Where were you again, between 11:45 and 1:00? I told you.
I was here testing the cars.
You can check out the reports yourself.
That's right, you did mention that.
Has there ever been an accident in a Zoomii car? Sure.
But only on the test field.
We don't send the cars out unless they're road-ready.
So there's never been a Zoomii accident on the road? Absolutely not.
Mm-hmm.
Do me a favour.
Take a look at that bolt again.
Is that from a Zoomii car? It's pretty standard issue.
Where'd you get it? On a blind turn on Creekwood.
Near Winter.
It's where April was knocked out.
It's not ours.
You don't use any standard issue bolts? We don't have anything in that colour.
Huh.
Whoah.
A lot of coffee.
A lot of hours.
It's launch time.
Mica doesn't stop for anything.
Not even a police investigation.
Yeah, she sure likes to get things done, huh? At any cost.
Excuse me.
Rex.
Hey, Jesse.
What's up? Hey, Charlie.
I found a collision report.
It was at Creekwood, on the blind corner just before it turns into Winter.
It was about six months ago.
Right around the time Zoomii was originally going to launch.
And let me guess.
Zoomii was part of the accident.
No, actually.
It was a hit and run victim.
The victim's name was one second.
.
Casey James.
Bring him in.
Alright.
Oh! Ah! Ah! Are you Casey James? Yeah.
Thanks for coming in.
We really appreciate it.
No problem.
Gives me a chance to show off my new wheels.
Get you a coffee? Decaf, if you've got it.
Yeah.
Listen.
What can you tell me about the night that you got hit? I'd just finished the night shift heading home on my bike.
I was driving down Creekwood, past Winter when a car took a corner too wide.
And I got sideswiped.
You never saw who hit you? I was knocked out.
Next thing I knew, I woke up and couldn't feel my legs.
Well, it's a good thing that your phone worked.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here talking to me right now.
Well, my bike wasn't so lucky.
Total write-off.
Do me a favour.
You ever see this before? We found it at the accident site.
Could be part of my bike.
Colour's right.
- Yeah? - 1100.
Classic.
Detonator Yellow fender.
Great bike.
You're a rider? Well, I mean, it's been a little while.
But I've got a BSA 650 Lightning.
Oh, nice.
Everyone crashes.
Some get back on.
Some don't.
Some can't.
Well, this must be pretty tough on you.
Yeah, but you find things worth living for.
Check this out.
A 1977 Norton Commando, mint condition.
Going to mod it up so I can ride it with the chair.
He confirmed the bolt we found in April's pocket came from his old bike.
But he's already looking to buy a new one.
Casey's settlement came in at $60,000 He was already in debt.
He had just lost his job.
Yeah, and it didn't seem like he was hurting for cash.
That wheelchair must have been $20,000 alone.
Jesse checked Casey's alibi.
He was in physio from 11:00 to 1:00.
That's the time that April was attacked.
Also it would be hard for him to pull off this murder.
He wouldn't have been able to drive April's car manually.
He could've been working with an accomplice.
He did have the motive, though.
He was paralyzed in the accident.
But why would April have a bolt from his bike in her pocket? Maybe she found out that her partners were trying to cover up a hit and run.
Hey, Jesse.
Do me a favour.
Pull up the 911 call from that night.
I want to see if we've overlooked anything.
- Okay.
- Hey, hey where's Where's Terabyte? Charging.
Oh! How do you charge him? With a charger.
It's a solar charger.
It's panels.
Takes about a week.
You should ask me later.
I've got to uh pull up that call.
Be cool, be cool, be cool.
I can't feel my legs! Oh man, I'm bleeding! We're sending someone out to you.
Where are you? I'm on Creekwood, near the blind corner on Winter.
Is anyone with you, Casey? No no! There's no one here! They just took off! Please help me! Someone's on the way.
I mean, it sounds like Casey's story checks out.
Wait a second.
Rex is picking up on something.
Play that again.
- Yeah.
They just took off! Please help me! - Someone's on the way.
- Jesse, can you clean that up? See if there's anything on there that we can't hear - that Rex can.
- Okay.
Isolating the file.
Bringing it up.
Here we go.
No no! There's no one here! They just took off! Please! - Error.
- Help me! Please restart.
System error.
That's a Zoomii.
This isn't a hit and run.
This is a witch hunt.
First you go after Sixie.
Now you're coming after me? A Zoomii car nearly killed someone.
And you're covering it up.
Who hit Casey James? You should be looking for April's real killers.
Killers.
That's interesting that you would say that.
Maybe it was more than one person who killed April.
Where were you between 12:45 and 1:15? I was here.
I said that.
No, your car was here.
Nobody saw you.
I am days away from launching something we've been working on for years.
Why would I kill my engineer now? Shares.
You were the first investor.
If April died, you'd have more shares than Sixie.
We're done here.
And you'll be hearing from my lawyer.
Actually, we can talk to your lawyer together down at the station.
Way to make an entrance.
Yeah, well I have that effect.
Mmm.
It always goes back to the money, huh? Mmm.
Still something odd about that, though.
If Zoomii was broke why were they still making a $10,000 a month donation to an accessibility charity? Yeah, that's true.
I mean, companies in Zoomii's situation- they would normally cut back.
You think they're covering for a payout or an embezzlement maybe? For the hit and run.
What is it, pal? Yellow paint? Detonator Yellow.
And we also found some blood.
Blood? Yeah, you know what that means, don't you? It means that you lied to me about a Zoomii car never being in a hit and run.
The Zoomii founders are going to be charged.
You need to decide if you want to be an accomplice or a witness.
It wasn't them.
Who was it? They were covering.
For me.
It was just before the launch.
I had been working 48 hour shifts.
Mica was pushing us beyond the breaking point.
I was so tired.
Sixie took pity on me and told me to take a Zoomii.
The blue Zoomii.
Everything was fine.
But then the car wouldn't slow down at the curve.
I tried to brake.
But it just went faster.
I panicked.
And I took the curve too wide.
And I smashed into a bike that was coming from the opposite direction.
I think about it every night.
So you called Sixie to tell her about the car.
Sixie called Mica, to have you repair it.
And then she paid off Casey.
I think so, yeah.
Why didn't you call April? We grew up together.
How could I tell her that I ruined her dreams? We did the only thing we could.
We pushed the launch.
It was the responsible thing to do.
But I swear the cars were safe.
Or I would have never put it on the road.
Then why did it hit Casey? I don't know.
And you and Mica kept it from April.
You don't understand.
April felt things deeper than most.
She would have ratted on you.
She would have been distracted from the launch.
So a man was paralysed, nearly died.
And you wanted her to focus on cars? How much did it cost to keep Casey's mouth shut? $10,000 a month.
Mmmm.
And Mica made it look like a charitable donation.
We were just trying to make the world a safer place.
If we came forward, Zoomii would be over.
And all of this would have been for nothing.
But April was on to you.
The bolt in her pocket came from Casey's motor bike.
She was investigating the site.
She texted you.
You guys should've told me.
I helped cover up an accident.
Fine.
But I didn't kill April! I swear.
Well, somebody did kill April to keep her from exposing the cover-up.
And somebody stood to inherit her shares if she died before the company was sold.
Somebody masterminded the whole cover-up.
How well do you really know Mica? We were all best friends.
We loved each other.
What I still don't get is that if Casey was hit by Zoomii- - he could've sued for millions.
- Yeah.
Why settle for a mere 10 grand a month? I think I have an idea.
I went through Casey's employment records and I found that he had no known employer the night of the hit and run.
He wasn't working the late shift.
So I did a little digging, and - Ow.
- Hold on.
He had two prior DUIs.
He could've been drinking that night.
Yeah, that was- That was my thought, exactly.
So I went through his social media.
I didn't find anything from that night.
But I found some pre-accident photos.
Wait.
Wait, stop there.
the Dover! That is not a coincidence.
I know this is traumatic.
But I need you to go through the accident one more time.
So, you said that your Zoomii car took the corner too fast.
Then you plowed right into a motorcycle going the other way.
I believe you, Donna.
My partner, not so much.
When were at the scene- Rex picked up on something that we didn't.
And it wasn't until- we found out that Casey was a regular at The Dover and went back that we realized that Rex had it right all along.
It hadn't been an accident between a Zoomii car and Casey's bike.
Charlie! It was between Casey and an electrical pole.
We found his accident.
And Casey had been drinking.
He was facing his third DUI.
So you faked an accident to make them look guilty.
Why would I do that? Is that semi-formal or prom? Casey's an ex.
He's a driver, like my dad and April's.
He had just moved to town.
He agreed to meet me at the Dover.
- Where you had a couple of drinks.
- He had just lost his job.
The trucking company was downsizing because they introduced self-driving cars.
I felt like a traitor.
So you had a few more drinks.
Then it was last call.
I wanted to take a spin on his bike.
Just like old times.
It was late.
We weren't going to go far.
He'd only had a few.
But he took a sharp turn, and lost his footing.
I thought we were okay.
But I was wrong.
Casey wasn't.
And his insurance didn't allow him to have anything in his system.
So I came up with a plan.
Asked him to hold off calling 911.
Which gave you time to cover one accident - with another.
- I was barely gone 15 minutes.
You went back to The Dover- where your Zoomii car was parked.
While I was gone and he was waiting, something happened.
His vertebrae had been fractured damaging the spinal cord, causing paralysis.
He had lost all feeling in his legs.
But now, there was no way out.
I moved Casey's bike to another part of the road.
I smashed into it with my Zoomii.
And then carried Casey to the accident scene and smeared his blood all over the car.
And then you called Sixie.
Sixie! I made a- I made a big mistake.
And Sixie told you that Mica would handle everything.
And she did, didn't she? She offered Casey $10,000 a month for him to report the accident as a hit and run and keep Zoomii's name out of it.
Taking care of your ex for the rest of his life.
And erasing some of your guilt.
Some of your guilt.
I never meant for him to be paralyzed.
It was all my fault.
I Can't you understand? I understand the guilt.
I don't understand why you extorted money from your employers.
They deserve to pay.
They're destroying the industry that fuels my home town.
You didn't do this for Axtonville.
You did this for you and Casey.
This is about money- plain and simple.
And you knew the money tap would stop if anyone found out the truth.
April knew about your connection to Casey.
And when she saw that he was the victim- she started to connect the dots.
She went into the records.
She found the accident site.
And when she found evidence she texted Sixie because she didn't trust you.
And you didn't trust her.
Yeah, we checked on your alibi.
You were indeed testing self-driving cars.
But the funny thing about automation is that you can program them to test themselves when you're not even there.
I had to stop April.
It would have destroyed Casey.
Yeah.
He would have had to give the money back.
He'd be destitute.
And Zoomii would've kept going destroying Axtonville and every other town like it.
I'm not on the wrong side of this.
Don't you get that? I get that change is hard.
But the ironic thing about this is that if you and Casey had just gotten in a Zoomii car instead of that motorcycle- none of this would have happened.
Casey wouldn't be injured.
April wouldn't be dead.
And you wouldn't be going to jail.
As we enterto a next chapter, we only wish our dearest friend and co-founder April Richards was here to see it.
Her legacy lives on in Zoomii.
And we are thrilled to announce that Zoomii is expanding.
In honour of my daughter, April Zoomii will be opening their new plant in her home town of Axtonville.
From all of us here at Zoomii thank you for an incredible launch.
See? Told you they had integrity.
They obstructed an investigation, Jesse.
Which they owned up to and apologized for.
What about paying someone off using a phoney charity? Not anymore.
No, the charity that Zoomii used to pay off Casey is totally legit now.
Yeah, all the money is going towards buying self-driving wheelchairs for victims of car accidents.
No wonder the judge agreed to suspend the sentence.
I'm impressed.
I mean- this is exactly what April would have wanted.
Bringing Axtonville into the future.
Speaking of which Jesse? Where's Terabyte? That's a good question.
Yeah.
There he is! Back in tip top shape.
What do you mean back? I'm sorry, what? We're all going to be replaced by robots.
Well, don't worry, buddy.
You are not going to be replaced by a robot.
Yeah.
Didn't think so.
