Hudson and Rex (2019) s03e11 Episode Script

1 (SOFT ELECTRIC GUITAR) (HEAVY DOOR OPENING) TOUR GUIDE: Come on in, and welcome to a favorite stop on the Saint John's Ghost Walk.
The Laford Murders.
So about 20 years ago, three men were found murdered in cold blood over the course of four days.
And each victim was found shot and then marked with a red X painted on their backs.
The first body was found in here.
And we were never able to find out why the killer chose this location because the police were unable to apprehend him before he took his own life.
Duane Laford's ghost has been seen in the rafters.
So be careful, the killer still haunts this place.
(THUMP) Uhh! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CROWD EXCLAIMING) (CAMERAS SNAPPING) Stop! Wait! Everybody just take a step back! This is not a part of the tour! WOMAN: What? What do you mean it's not part of the tour? (DRAMATIC PERCUSSION) (THEME MUSIC) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Rex! You are always ready to work a late shift, hey? Yeah, he never stops.
Us on the other hand, - sometimes we need a little help.
- Oh, yes.
- You are a life saver.
- (CHARLIE CHUCKLES) Mmmm.
Victim's in his late 50s.
He was shot twice with a .
38 calibre bullet.
There were no gunshots reported, but he died less than four hours ago.
Hmm, do we have a name? No, not yet.
No wallet and no cell phone.
So no ID.
Sounds like it could be a robbery, but this is a pretty strange place for it.
Well, here is where it gets interesting.
(SARAH SIGHS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) The Laford Murders.
I knew a fellow true crime fan would be familiar with the red X.
I'm more than familiar with it.
I was obsessed with this in high school.
I mean, I'm talking, like, cutting newspaper clippings out obsessed.
Anyway, what was it about that case that drew you in? I think it was something about Duane Laford himself.
I mean, on one hand, you have this artist.
He was an activist.
Worked with the community and then, on the other hand Yeah, he was a cold-blooded murderer.
Yeah, it fascinated me how those two extremes could just live in the same body.
(REX BARKING) - What have you got, partner? - (REX BARKS) In there? Oh, I see it.
It's a cufflink.
With initials.
DONOVAN: O.
D.
It stands for Oswald Development.
A staple in the local real estate scene for over 20 years.
Specializing in suburban development, owned and founded by our latest victim.
Terrance Oswald.
His body found painted with a red X just like the old Duane Laford murders.
- Jesse.
- Okay, so Duane Laford was a popular artist and a prominent member of the Mi'kmaq nation.
Now back then, the press referred to him as, if you'll forgive my use of the phrase, The Mad Mick-mack, which is a derogatory term based on an incorrect settler's pronunciation.
DONOVAN: Duane was a very vocal Indigenous activist.
His civil disobedience and protests made him a very familiar face around the station.
Now his three victims were high-rolling real estate developers that worked for a company called the Evermax Group.
CHARLIE: Evermax.
They had a monopoly on real estate development - back in the 90s.
- And they were looking to expand.
So when the Newfoundland railway shut down in the 80s, there was nearly a thousand acres of land that was up for grabs on the outskirts of the city.
Now the land was once traditional hunting territory of the Mi'kmaq.
So Duane Laford petitioned the government to have the land returned back to the Indigenous community, but Evermax put in an offer that was too sweet for the government to pass up.
So now the land is Well, it's this.
(REX GROANS) Ugh.
My eyes are bleeding.
So Duane killed the three execs in revenge.
It was one last act of protest before he shot himself in his shed.
Okay, so how does this all connect to our victim now? JESSE: The victim, Terrance, worked at Evermax back in the day.
In fact, it was his first job in real estate.
Now up until last night, Terrance was the last remaining survivor of the rail land projects.
That's an interesting connection.
Jesse, look into Duane Laford and tell me if he has any living relatives - or friends.
- Okay.
SARAH: Can you also pull up the old case files? I want to compare the original forensics to Terrance's murder.
- Got it.
- CHARLIE: Can you also see if there's any disputes with Oswald Development? Those are three very different requests, just so you know, but I'm on it.
Anyone notified Terrance's family yet? His only relative in town is his son, Andrew.
I don't think anyone's been able to get a hold of him.
I guess that means you drew short straw, Charlie.
Mmmm.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) My dad was a hard man to get close to.
I thought I still had time to change that.
- When was the last time you saw him? - A month ago? Our relationship had been rocky since I left the business.
- You worked for him? - For a while.
Dad wanted me to take over one day.
He was disappointed when I walked away.
Well, it looks like you put your skills to better use elsewhere.
- Sustainable vegan meal kits.
- (REX WHINES) I just started the business off, but veganism is a booming market.
- Impressive.
- Not to my dad.
He was old school.
- Mm-hmm.
- (PHONE BUZZING) Excuse me for a moment.
Hey, Jesse.
What have you got? Oh, I got a lot.
First, I was able to find some threats against Oswald Development on social media.
And second, city hall is in the middle of a major legal battle over the sale of some land in Cedardale to Oswald Development.
And third, I was able to track down the sole living relative of Duane.
Wow, that was a productive morning.
How'd you get all that so fast? They're all the same person, Charlie.
- You're kidding.
- No.
No, Kiera Laford.
- What's the relationship to Duane? - His daughter.
She works at the Eastern Door Indigenous Community Centre - in Cedardale.
- Oh, she's probably not too happy about Oswald moving into the neighbourhood.
No, no.
They were trying to build a townhouse development right next door on some land that the Indigenous community had been using unofficially for years.
Send me that address.
And, hey, Jesse, whatever you're putting in your cereal, - I want some.
- Ah, you will never know.
Wh ? (REX WHINES) Andrew.
Did your father ever mention a townhouse development in Cedardale next to an Indigenous community centre? Yeah.
The Centre was trying to buy some land out from under him.
My dad never gave up anything for anyone.
Okay.
Well, thank you for your time.
Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Come on, pal.
(CAR ENGINE) (MI'KMAQ DRUM) (MI'KMAQ FEMALE VOCALS) (MI'KMAQ WOMEN SINGING) (REX BARKING) (REX SINGING) - (REX SINGING) - CHARLIE: Rex! Can we take five? Thank you.
Sorry about that.
My, uh my partner finds new ways to surprise me every day.
And today I learned that Rex, he fancies himself a bit of a singer.
(KIERA LAUGHS) Oh, that's okay.
He has a lovely singing voice.
Well - (REX BARKS) - (KIERA LAUGHS) If you're here for the fundraiser, it's not until 7:30.
Actually, I'm here to see Kiera Laford.
- That's me.
- Oh, well, I'm Detective Hudson.
You met my partner, Rex.
I just wanted to ask you a few questions.
Do you know a man named Terrance Oswald? Only by name.
He's building a neighbourhood of townhomes in the area.
- Is that right? - Well, not if I have anything to say about it.
What is this about? - Terrance was murdered last night.
- What? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - Oh, my God.
That's awful.
- (REX GROWLING) (REX SNIFFING) He was found with a a red X painted on his back.
I don't know anything about that.
The murder last night mimicked your father's crimes.
(REX SNIFFING) Kiera I just want to see if you can help me connect it to the past.
- I was 12.
- (REX BARKS) What is it, Rex? It's a beautiful mural.
My dad painted this.
It's a medicine wheel.
It symbolizes healing and balance.
He was very talented.
(REX SNIFFING) He's going to have to get down! Rex, heel.
This red, it's very vibrant.
What shade is that exactly? And, Kiera, earlier you said that you knew Terrance by name only.
We did find some colourful comments that you posted on social media.
Am I being accused of something? I just need the questions answered.
And I have the right to remain silent.
So if you don't have a warrant, he can't be sniffing around like that.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Okay.
I appreciate your time.
We'll be in touch.
Rex.
At the Indigenous Community Centre, Rex picked up on a scent in a mural that Duane painted.
I wonder if that paint that was on Terrance Oswald is the same as the paint that was on Duane's victims back in the day.
SARAH: It could be the mercury.
I ran some tests on the paint.
It's a pigment called cinnabar red which hasn't been sold in the country since 2002 due to its high mercury content.
DONOVAN: You don't really think that Kiera would still have cans of her dad's paint kicking around from that long ago, do you? Well, I mean, if she did, would that be enough for a warrant? You can buy vintage paint online.
Anyone could have bought some.
DONOVAN: Okay, well, let's go with that.
Jesse, see if you can trace any recent purchases of that paint.
Okay, yeah, on it.
DONOVAN: If Jesse doesn't find anything, we can talk warrants, Charlie.
Rex and I are going to talk to the VP of Oswald Development.
- Keep me posted.
- SARAH: Will do.
Good luck.
- (REX YELPS) - Yeah, I know, pal.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Excuse me! I'm Detective Hudson.
Are you Mia Bailey? You must be here to talk about Terrance.
- Yeah, we did call ahead.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
There has just been so much to take care of with Terrance gone so unexpectedly.
Listen, do you have any idea where Terrance was headed last night? - No, I didn't see him at all yesterday.
- Ah.
Did he keep a schedule? We couldn't find a cell phone.
Terrance didn't even own a cell phone.
He was old school.
Yeah, his son Andrew did mention that.
Yes, and he would know better than anyone.
Terrance was pretty tough on Andrew - when he was with the firm.
- Ah.
Terrance sounds like he was a little difficult to work with.
- (REX SNIFFING) - Oh.
Um (REX WHINES) He wasn't so bad, you just had to figure out your place - in the hierarchy.
- Where was yours? Old school only takes a business so far.
My job was to fill in the gaps.
- Ah.
- (REX SNIFFING) That must've drove you crazy.
It kept me busy.
I like to be busy.
(REX WHINING) (REX YELPS) What have you got, partner? (REX WHINING) (REX BARKS) You mind popping your trunk? (REX SNIFFING) (CAR LOCK BEEPS) (REX SNIFFING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Yeah, apparently you have been busy.
You know, I think we should finish this conversation down at the station.
(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION) Hey.
Rex was on the right track.
The paint on the signs in Mia's trunk match the sample from Terrance's back.
Looks like Rex remembered the scent and tracked it to her vehicle.
What are the odds that that same rare paint ended up in her car? JESSE: Very slim.
I scoured every online source for vintage paint and found no trace of cinnabar red.
- Hmmm.
- JESSE: But I did find a piece of good news that puts the real in real estate.
- Jesse.
- Sorry.
Terrance and Mia were not on good terms - before his death.
- How bad are we talking? She tried to petition with the board of directors to have him ousted from the firm.
I can work with that.
- Lawyer not joining us? - That won't be necessary.
Oh.
Can you tell me where you were between the hours of 6:00 and 10:00 p.
m.
last night? I had reservations at Domenic's on Water at 8:30.
- I was there until 11:00.
- Dining alone? With a local competitor.
You know, keep your friends close, - your enemies closer.
- Ah, which one was Terrance? Your board of directors said that meetings between you and Terrance could get pretty heated.
We had some healthy disagreements.
Pushing a man out of his own firm, that sounds unhealthy.
(MIA EXHALES) Terrance would funnel money into developments on a whim.
He may have built that company himself, but he was on track to destroy it.
- Oh, he didn't listen to you? - No, he never valued my opinion! I do all the heavy lifting.
I answer all the calls he doesn't want to take, but he always needed to call the shots.
So you had to go higher up.
You went to the board of directors and maybe, if you could somehow prove to them that Terrance was bad for business, maybe they'd listen to you? (MIA EXCLAIMS) Terrance did not need my help building a bad rep.
We're an easy target for vandals with our record of gentrifying.
So those signs that were in your trunk Terrance asked me to take those down! No one wants to buy into a neighbourhood that seems hostile! Okay.
Let's say that I believe you.
Then you can tell me where was the tagging the most frequent? Uh Westhaven.
The Juncture.
Cedardale especially.
Near the Indigenous Community Centre? Yes.
I'm overseeing that project.
Those signs need to be replaced almost daily.
Huh.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) CHARLIE: Excuse me.
Have either of you seen Kiera? No? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (REX SNIFFING) What have you got? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (REX SNIFFING) Look at that.
Cinnabar red.
Detective Hudson, I told you last time.
Next time you come around here I'd need a warrant.
I think you'll find everything's in order.
I'm going to need to take this paint.
Why would you want that? Well, I have a feeling it's going to match some of the samples in our investigation.
I'm going to need you to come down to the station and make a statement.
I'm going to need to speak with my lawyer first.
Of course.
Rex and I will be waiting here for you.
(REX SNIFFING) (REX GROWLS AND YELPS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (REX BARKS) (DRAMATIC PERCUSSION) (REX GROWLS) - (KIERA GASPS) - (REX GROWLS) KIERA: Come on, Rex, move! I don't have time for this! You're a persistent boy, aren't you? - Yeah.
- CHARLIE: Kiera? Going somewhere? Just looking for a little privacy to make a phone call, but apparently, your partner here didn't like that too much.
Yeah, he doesn't like it when people leave - without saying goodbye.
- (REX GROANS) Why don't you give your lawyer a call? Tell them to meet us down at the station.
CHARLIE: Kiera, in my experience doing this job, innocent people don't run.
(KIERA SCOFFS) Really? Well, in my experience, innocence isn't something that seems to matter much around here.
CHARLIE: Well, I can assure you it matters to me.
Yeah, well, people like me can quickly lose control of the narrative when it comes you, cops.
Just look what happened to my dad over 20 years ago.
Okay, yeah, let's look at your dad.
Do you know that the paint that we found in your studio is the same type of paint that your father used on his victims back in the 90s? - That's a lie.
- CHARLIE: It also matches the paint we found on Terrance Oswald, found dead last night.
Not to mention the Oswald Development signs - that you defaced.
- That's pure conjecture.
Yeah, I said that's a lie.
CHARLIE: This paint is virtually impossible to get your hands on.
Not to mention matched with a near 100% certainty.
I'm not talking about the paint! I'm talking about my father! He never murdered anyone.
Are you aware of the nickname they have for him? You can't imagine how it feels to see my father reduced to that.
He was a hero who always stood up for our rights! You still didn't answer my questions about the paint.
So what if I vandalized those signs? - LAWYER: Kiera.
- Vandalism is not murder! - I did not murder that man.
- That's enough.
Unless you're charging my client, we're done here.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (DOOR OPENING) We have her on a misdemeanour for vandalism at best.
Then we need to let her go.
Her father being a confirmed serial killer doesn't factor in? Some studies have found that psychopathy could be hereditary, but they're far from conclusive.
CHARLIE: So we stick to the evidence.
What do we know? I looked into Mia Bailey's alibi.
I mean, she was dining downtown.
Just like she said.
Her record is squeaky clean.
She's worked for Oswald Development for the past 15 years.
And Kiera? Well, minor run-ins with the SJPD in her teen years, but nothing since then.
CHARLIE: Except for the threatening comments on Oswald Development's social media.
JESSE: Yeah, yeah.
Here.
"@OswaldDevelopment, you're picking a fight you can't win!" Try to steal our land and you'll find out.
What goes around, comes around! #karma Well, something came around.
Now Terrance Oswald is dead.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hey.
Get out of my chair.
- Arlo.
- (ARLO LAUGHS) Thanks for meeting me, man.
Hey! Anything I can do to help, Joe.
- Have a seat.
- So you've got a tough case on your hands, huh? Yeah.
I thought that you had put the last nail in the Laford Murders - back in, what, '98? - Yeah, we did! Someone's just playing a Greatest Hits of the SJPD! (ARLO LAUGHS) Hey, look, I know it's not easy.
The Laford Murders really shook up this precinct back then.
Actually, tell me, do you happen to have your old notes? (ARLO SIGHS) I have to check.
You know, after I got transferred to Fraud, I lost track of some of the old files, but, you know, I'll look into it.
I appreciate it.
Also, what do you remember about Kiera Laford? The Mad Mick-macks daughter, huh? - Duane Laford's daughter, yes.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember seeing her hanging around the station, you know.
Her mother would drag her along when she had those sit-in protests.
Kiera she was quiet.
That's what I remember.
You think she had something to do with this? I'm not sure yet.
Chin up.
Don't worry, you'll get them before the next stiff drops, huh? - You're too good a cop.
- Well (ARLO CLICKS TONGUE) Hey.
(THEY LAUGH) (UPBEAT MUSIC) (DOOR BUZZER) Ah, another coffee? Yeah, I fell down the rabbit hole last night.
I started researching Indigenous land claims near St.
John's, - and before I knew it, it was 4:00 a.
m.
- Here's a wake-up call.
I managed to track down the restaurant that Terrance was dining at before he died.
Excuse me.
We tracked it.
- We.
That's what I meant.
- How did we figure this out? We got the autopsy report.
There was a half digested steak in his stomach with distinct marbling.
Kobe beef.
CHARLIE: That's an expensive cut.
Only a few places in town that would serve that.
JESSE: Three, to be exact.
Turns out Terrance had a reservation at Sutherland's for 8:30.
SARAH: And the maître d' said he made a very vocal call - from their front desk landline.
- Right.
No cell phone.
He would have had to use the landline.
I shudder at the thought.
I got the audio from the security camera near the front desk.
TERRANCE: I'm down on Water Street for dinner right now, and I just happened to see you walking into Domenic's with our main competitor! I am not putting up with this, Mia! I don't give second chances! JESSE: Turns out Terrance was dining with his lawyer.
And he confirmed that they were meeting to discuss ousting Mia from the firm.
And that's motive.
Let's bring Mia in, partner.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) (DOORBELL RINGING) (PHONE RINGING) (PHONE CHIMING IN CAR) (PHONE RINGING) (PHONE CHIMING IN CAR) (REX BARKING) MIA'S VOICE: Hi! You've reached Mia Bailey at Oswald Development.
I'm not able to answer your call, but please leave your name, number - and a brief message at the tone.
- (BEEP) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) CHARLIE: They've killed Mia Bailed.
History repeats itself.
Looks like we really do have a serial killer on our hands.
Anything that can tell us if it's the same person that killed Terrance? I mean, aside from the big red X? It's the same calibre bullet, and the paint looks like cinnabar red again, but we won't know until we test it.
Someone really is following in Duane's footsteps.
Two victims.
We need to stay one step ahead of them.
I might have an idea, actually.
We found this lone file in the passenger seat.
This was the development that Kiera Laford was trying to stop.
Check the front page for the listing agents.
- Terrance and Mia.
Both dead.
- There's another name.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) ANDREW: This is why I walked away.
I knew real estate was ruthless, but this is ridiculous.
Why was your name on the townhouse project? No, it's not anymore.
That was supposed to be my first big project for my dad's company, but it's turned into an ugly mess.
It's one of the reasons I left to start my own business.
What was so ugly about it? Well, when Kiera found out about the project, I agreed to sit down with her and we could discuss removing one small parcel from our deal.
But she used that information to block our deal with the city delaying the entire project.
(CHARLIE EXHALES) That sounds expensive.
Yeah, totally threw off our projected fourth quarter profits.
To my dad that went beyond business.
That was personal.
Do you remember anything about those conversations with Kiera? She started off cordial, but she got aggressive fast.
Do I need to be worried here? I think you'll be fine if you just stay in the house and keep the doors locked - until we figure out what's going on.
- Oh, my God.
Is she coming after me next? Hey, don't jump to any conclusions.
We don't know exactly who's behind this yet.
I hope it's not Kiera.
From what I've seen, she does whatever it takes to get what she wants.
Please tell me you found something in Arlo's old case files.
I looked into the forensics on Duane's suicide, and I can't find a shred of paperwork on it.
JESSE: Yeah, and I can't find any record of any witness testimony that puts Duane at the scene of the crime.
I couldn't even find a witness name until I did find this listing in the evidence lock-up.
DONOVAN: Terrance Oswald? So our first victim was their lead witness back in '98? SARAH: Yeah, but you just talked to Arlo.
Would he not have said something about it? ARLO: Ahh, this is funny, Joe.
Back in the day, it used to be me calling you in here.
- (ARLO CHUCKLES) - I'm sure you heard the news.
That your killer's two-for-two? Yeah.
Any luck finding those old notes, Arlo? I'm sorry, Joe, but no luck.
Because there's only so much we can glean from those old case files.
Well, I'm here, hmm? What do you need to know? Okay.
How the witness testimony place Duane at the scene? Uh, you know, Duane was driving an old beater truck, and we found a guy who placed it at the first crime scene.
Doesn't it concern you that your eyewitness is our first victim? Uh It slipped my mind.
Hmm.
According to the evidence logs, you accessed the case files exactly one month after the case was solved.
Well, you know, you've got to cross your T's and dot your I's.
- You know that.
- If you're so concerned with details, why is the witness statement and the forensic data on Duane's death missing? Why are you suddenly all concerned about this Mad Mick-mack? - Stop using that name.
- Come on, huh? Enough with the PC crap.
It's just you and me talking here.
We no longer accept that kind of language in this unit.
Yeah.
We are going to keep digging, Arlo, so just tell us what we're going to find.
(ARLO SIGHS) My advice? You stick to the present and you leave the past alone.
(OMINOUS MUSIC) (DOOR CLOSING) SARAH: I was ultimately able to find the bullet trajectory report from Duane's suicide in '98.
I compared it with the autopsy report and I went over it again and again, but something wasn't done right.
So, if it was a suicide, the stipplings would be spread like this.
Because for the bullet's angle, Duane had to be holding the gun here.
In the autopsy report there are no stipplings on his body.
Which would mean that the gunshot that killed him would have had to have been at least six feet away.
So you're saying Duane didn't die by suicide? Is it possible that he is not the killer but the fourth victim? Which means the real killer could still be out there.
Jesse, any luck finding those missing documents? I did find this.
May I? Thank you.
Okay.
- Here we go.
- ARLO: Can you state your name - for the record? - TERRANCE: Terrance Oswald.
ARLO: Mr.
Oswald, can you take us through your experience the night of October 22nd? TERRANCE: I left the bar around 9:30.
Walked east.
I heard a truck backfire.
I looked up, I saw a brown pick-up - heading west in a hurry.
- (REX BARKS) ARLO: You sure about the time? You're sure it wasn't a little later? TERRANCE: Yeah, I meant 11:30.
You know, I misspoke.
Okay, there's a big difference between 9:30 and 11:30.
Jesse, go back to the moment - where Rex barked.
- JESSE: Sure.
Rex can hear high pitched unusual sounds.
- There's definitely something there.
- Okay.
(PHONE CHIMING) - (RECORDING REWINDING) - ARLO: You sure about the time? (HIGH PITCHED NOISE) Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's right.
There's a spike in the levels right here.
(PLAYBACK BEEPS) - (HIGH PITCHED NOISE) - (RECORDING REWINDING) TERRANCE (SLOW-MO): I looked up, I saw a brown pick-up - heading west in a hurry.
- (CLICKING NOISE) (REX BARKS) ARLO (SLOW-MO): You sure about the time? You're sure it wasn't a little ? The tape was stopped for a second! Arlo was guiding the witness.
Is this just shoddy police work? Or is this a cover up? We may never find out.
Arlo's been shot.
He might not make it.
He was found in his yard with a red X on his back.
(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION) - What's Arlo's status? - His vitals were holding steady when he arrived at the hospital.
Paramedics say if they were there a few minutes later, he'd be gone.
And as of now, Kiera's our best suspect and patrol is bringing her in.
- I'd like to hear her alibi.
- JESSE: Yeah, about that - The squad car just called in.
- (REX YELPS) Kiera's gone missing.
(SARAH SIGHS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) PA: Dr.
Langmear, please call the pharmacy.
Dr.
Langmear, call the pharmacy.
(MONITOR BEEPING) (ARLO COUGHING) You're lucky to be alive.
Who says running the Fraud Department doesn't have its risks, huh? (ARLO LAUGHS) Did you see who shot you? My back was turned.
Arlo, we've got a killer on the loose.
What are you keeping from us? It's as clear as day.
Duane's suicide was an admission of guilt.
No.
My team ran the ballistics.
Duane's wounds were not self-inflicted.
(ARLO CHUCKLES) And why did you guide the witness statements? (ARLO SIGHS) Terrance mixed up some of the info he initially shared with us.
I just nudged him back on track.
Cops don't nudge.
To get a guy like Duane? Come on.
Hold on.
What do that mean? Oh, here we go.
No, what do you mean a guy like Duane? Would you have treated him differently if he was white? Ahhhhh, blaahhhh.
Blahhh, blahhh.
Do you know how much pressure we were under to close that case? - (DONOVAN SCOFFS) - And don't you forget you were as excited as anyone when we found him dead.
Huh? (ARLO BREATHING HEAVILY) When Duane was dead, the murders stopped.
Except they didn't.
(ARLO COUGHING) (ARLO SIGHS HEAVILY) Yeah, thanks, Joe.
Keep us posted.
- (HANGING UP PHONE) - (CHARLIE SIGHS) - Any news? - We're still in the dark.
(SOFT GUITAR) Hey, pal.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Is that a microphone? Shhhh.
(DEVICE BEEPS) (DEVICE BEEPS) Okay, yeah.
- - (KEYBOARD CLACKING) - - (TRACKER BEEPING) (DEVICE BEEPING) Joe said there's nothing more for us to do tonight, so you might as well pack up.
Okay.
Thank God.
I'm beat.
- - (TRACKER BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (WHISPERING) Gimme! (WHISPERING) Charlie! I need to check in with Sarah.
You want to watch Rex for me? - Huh? - Yeah! Um Rex, you just sit on your perch.
I'll bring you some water! (JESSE PANTING LIKE REX) Yeah? (JESSE IMITATING REX DRINKING WATER) How's the water? (JESSE WHINING LIKE REX) Yeah, it's okay.
It's okay, bud.
I'll get you more.
(CAR ENGINE) (SQUEALING TIRES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SHOUTING WOMAN AND MAN INSIDE HOUSE) (REX YELPS) (KICKING DOOR) SJPD! (REX BARKS) (BANGING NOISE IN DISTANCE) SJPD! Hands up! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Kiera? Hands up, now! (REX BARKING) Ughhh!! Easy.
(KIERA'S MUFFLED CRYING) (REX SNARLING) (RIPPING FABRIC) (DOOR SLAMS) (REX BARKING) Are you okay? Here.
Ah! It's Andrew! Thanks for coming to the rescue, Detective.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Drop your weapon.
- Kick it over here, Detective.
- Just Yeah.
You're early.
I guess I'm going to have to improvise.
(REX BARKING) (REX BARKING) You know, my friend told me - that psychopathy can be hereditary.
- (REX BARKING OUTSIDE) I guess she was right.
We were just looking at the wrong family.
(REX BARKING OUTSIDE) Hey.
Your dad, your father Terrance, he was the person responsible for the so-called Laford Murders, huh? (REX BARKING OUTSIDE) KIERA: Now that all makes sense! Terrance killed my dad and then made him take the fall for everything! How long have you known about that, huh? He told me when I was a boy.
- (REX BARKING OUTSIDE) - (OMINOUS MUSIC) He trusted me with his secret because he expected me to build on his legacy.
But when the Cedardale project started bleeding money, my dad pinned it on me.
But he knew from the beginning the community would fight it.
Of course we would.
ANDREW: You nearly cost me everything! - Hey! - My dad was making plans to kick me out of the inheritance.
What's rightfully mine.
I couldn't let you do that to me.
So with my dad out of the way, you make an easy frame.
All I had to do was steal one of your paint cans.
The cops couldn't wait to believe you did it.
You'll be forever known as a cold-blooded killer.
Just like your father.
Sure, and I understand why you went after Mia.
She was next in line to take over the company, but what about Arlo? Why would you target him? I knew if Arlo told you my father's statement was a fraud, it would lead back to me eventually.
And I knew you were closing in, because I planted a mic on your partner.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - (REX BARKING) - When I shot Arlo, I knew it would look like Kiera was taking revenge on a bad cop who smeared her daddy's name.
And it's your own fault for ruining my business deal.
Everything you have was built on stolen land and my family's suffering! My dad always used to say, "Take what's yours.
" So I took it.
Oh.
(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION) I guess you thought about everything.
Uh.
Almost everything.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CRASHING GLASS) ANDREW: Ughh! Don't move! ANDREW: Uhhh! Thanks, partner.
Thank you, Officer.
The paramedics check you out? Yeah.
That's good.
(CHARLIE SIGHS) Kiera, I'm sorry.
I'm not ready to accept your apology.
I understand that.
I need to say it anyway.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
Or your father.
Words are cheap, Detective.
22 years ago, my father was denied justice.
Were you about to make the same mistake? (FOOTSTEPS WALKING AWAY) (DOOR BUZZER) (SOFT MUSIC) (CHARLIE SIGHS) (REX WHINES) You okay? No, I've been better.
When Rex and I went over to Andrew's house, I saw Andrew and Kiera struggling through the window and I thought that she was the threat.
Well, she was in the wrong house.
You were just following the evidence.
No.
I made an assumption.
I can't help but wonder if I would have made a different decision if she were white.
(DONOVAN SIGHS) Every police officer has to worry about racial profiling, Charlie.
Even me.
Those biases are rooted deep in society.
That's why people of colour are arrested and incarcerated at a much higher level.
I think I lost sight of that.
I can't make that mistake again.
Our mistakes give us an opportunity to grow.
The real question is whether you're willing to put in that work to make things better.
That's the real challenge.
For all of us.
(SOFT GUITAR) I think I have a good idea where to start.
We host a lot of our workshops over here.
And by the fire over here we have elders every Friday to share stories.
CHARLIE: I'm happy we were able to help you meet your fundraising needs to save this space.
I can understand why you've been fighting so hard to save it.
Yeah, it's special, isn't it? This is a meeting place between us and everyone who was here before.
Like your father.
I saw the statement that you posted in the media, and finally the world sees who my father really was.
Thank you.
I'm glad we got a chance to set the record straight.
CHARLIE: And it doesn't make up for what we've put you through, but that's why I'd like to do more if you'll let me.
More how? Well, I want to learn more about the people that I'm paid to protect.
So if there's any volunteer work that needs to be done here at the Centre, Rex and I would love to help out.
Well, we have Indigenous cultural seminars once a month.
How about we start there? - I'd like that.
- You know what? Count me in too.
All right.
Well, come on.
Let me show you some of our hiking trails.
Hey, Rex! Want to go for a hike? - (DONOVAN CHUCKLES) - Hey! - (CHARLIE LAUGHS) - (KIERA LAUGHS) - Rex loves hikes.
- KIERA: Oh, sure.
(LAUGHS) CHARLIE: Yeah, you had him at hike.
Yeah.
- (MI'KMAQ WOMAN SINGING) - What do you say? Next time on Hudson & Rex Who's best in show? - Glockenspiel.
That's who.
- What have we got? Dog owner competing for a spot in the upcoming nationals.
- His name is Francis Norton.
- Francis was wealthy.
His entire three million dollar estate is going to Glockenspiel.
- The dog? - Rex, take note.
Do you know of anyone that had issues with Francis? - No! - The dog show circuit were his family.
- You and Francis were close? - I had nothing to do with this.
- Then why did you run? - I was scared.
- Of getting caught? - Of being murdered! Who would have a reason to put a hit out on you? (SILENCED GUNSHOT) Anton, get off the course! (GRUNT)
