Hudson and Rex (2019) s03e16 Episode Script
The Art of the Steal
1
Yeah, yeah, then I baste
the burgers in butter.
It kind of caramelizes a little bit and you know, adds a little sweetness.
Well, I'll be making a smoked paprika potato salad for your barbecue tonight.
Can I pet your dog? - Sure.
- Look at you! Hi! - Nyoonyoonyoo! - Hey Jesse, I've got to go.
Rex has fans again.
- He's a sucker for attention.
- Of course he is! - Oh yeah, you deserve it! - Huh.
You're beautiful.
- Thanks.
- Have a good day.
You too.
Hit the floor! Down! Now! Everybody! Get down! Now! - Easy, pal.
- Take your phones out, toss them in the centre! Now! Quickly, quickly! You want to parboil the potatoes eight to ten minutes.
Skin on.
Leave the skin on.
It's better that way.
Hot smoked paprika is better than regular smoked paprika.
You get a little bit of kick.
The secret ingredient: Worcestershire.
- Shut that dog up or I'll shut it up! - Rex, down.
Nobody's looking for trouble.
You want to point that gun at anyone, you point it at me.
Think I'm joking? - Do you think I'm joking? - Please, please don't hurt me.
It's okay, miss.
What's your name? - Annie.
- Annie.
We're gonna get through this.
On the floor! We're moving! Move! We're moving! Everybody stay down! Except for you! Get up, get the money, put it in the bag! Now! Quickly, quickly! - No dye packs! - No sirens.
Where are they? Hmm! One new message.
Get up, get the money, put it in the bag! - Now! Quickly, quickly! - That's all I've got.
That's not enough! That's not enough! Keys! Key to the vault! Now! Come on! Keys right now, to the vault! Grab the bag.
We're moving! Everybody stay down! Move move move! Move move move move! - Don't hurt me! - Ready, partner? Right now! Right now! Okay! Move, move, move, move! Okay! I'm doing it as fast as I can! - Put it in! Put it in! - Okay! Let's go! Grab them! Let's go! Let's go! Grab them! Put it in the bag! I'm SJPD.
- I'm not looking for a fight.
- Don't be a hero.
I just want you to let the woman go.
She's the thing keeping you from shooting me, so I think she stays! Those cops are getting close.
I think I'd take the deal.
Grab the drill.
Put it in the bag.
Move.
We're moving.
We're going! - Easy.
- Ughh! Rex, go! You okay? Yeah? Police are on the way.
Hey, Charlie.
- Sarah.
- It's good to see you.
We heard the gunshots on Jesse's voicemail.
We didn't know if anything had And what? Leave you to process a crime scene by yourself? I 'd never do that.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
So you want to walk me through this crime scene? Yeah.
New territory isn't it? The suspect was 5'8, male.
Had a long brown ponytail.
Probably a wig.
Shell casing.
Mark it.
Do you know what kind of gun it was? Looks like an Uzi.
But didn't sound like one.
Three rounds.
One from the door and two here at the counter.
What have you got, pal? A metal fragment.
Possibly from the gun? Good find, Rex.
- Thank you.
- Next, the suspect headed to the vault.
He took the hostage with him.
They were in there less than two minutes when I interrupted things.
Looks like he got to four safety deposit boxes.
He had the right drill bit.
Yeah, it was quick.
And it wasn't his first rodeo.
Oh, but I did manage to bag his hat.
He dropped it when he was climbing up onto the roof.
Ah.
Hudson.
It's good to hear your voice.
And yours too, Rex.
Yeah, I didn't want to give you a scare.
I just wanted to sound the alarm.
Well, it's a good thing you did.
I just spoke to switchboard.
They didn't receive any company alarm notifications.
Yours was the first call.
I also spoke to the security company and it looks like the silent alarm was either never triggered or disabled.
Yeah.
This guy was a pro.
Jesse, look into any previous robberies.
See if you can find a connection.
Just one sec.
I see the bank manager.
I've got to go.
Thank you again, Detective.
And Rex.
It wasn't my first but definitely one of the worst.
Any idea what was taken? There was $50,000 taken from the till.
And $150,000 in valuables from the safety deposit boxes.
Here's a list of the owners.
Eleanor Vaughn, who lost her jewelry.
Alphie Staple and his stamp collection.
And two numbered companies lost business documents.
Huh.
Your security company reported that they never received a silent alarm.
Well, I pressed it in the very beginning! Any way that it could become disarmed? There's an emergency reset code for false alarms.
It's the only way to cancel, once it's triggered.
- And who would have those codes? - Myself and the assistant manager.
But you have to enter it into the keypad.
And I didn't see anyone there.
Well, I'm gonna need a list of all of your employees.
And have you finished a head count yet? - We're in the middle of it.
Thanks very much.
- Okay, great.
Come on, pal.
He put the gun to my head.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'll take it from here.
Annie, you're doing great.
I was so scared.
No, it didn't seem like fear to me.
It seemed more like bravery.
I know what he looks like.
His glasses slipped.
I saw his eyes and a bit of his hair.
He said he'd kill me if I told anyone.
You don't have to worry about that.
He can't harm you, I promise.
He has brown eyes and brown hair.
Do you think you could describe these details - to the forensic artist? - Mm-hmm.
Thanks, Annie.
Rex.
David Mason! What the hell are you doing here? Hey! Charlie! Same as you.
I'm on a case.
I've got a client who keeps his valuables here.
Sent me down to investigate.
You mean interfere with my investigation.
Ah, don't be mad because I'm gonna solve this before you! The only edge you have over me is Rex here, man.
Hey, Rex! How are you doing buddy? Still saving lives? I'll never forget the day you saved mine.
- That's my boy, right there.
- Uh-huh.
Well, you can't take photos of a crime scene - so hand them over.
- Hey, nah, nah.
this is a public space.
Besides, the photos belong to my client.
And who might that be? Come on.
You know how confidentiality works.
I can't give you a name! Okay, well I guess I'll get a warrant.
Whoever they are, they must have pretty deep pockets.
You're looking good! VIP clients! They keep you around the clock.
Anyway, listen.
Since Rex is here, you mind if I get a photo? What, of us? Uhhh.
What's up, buddy? Huh? You're looking good! Looking good! Okay, got it.
Peace, brother.
Don't tell me you're starting to like him.
Detective Hudson! - Huh? - I did a head count.
And everyone is here except for Will Kassabian.
He went for lunch.
And Detective? Will is the assistant manager.
He has the reset code.
What does he look like? He's 5'8 ", 5'9"? Brown hair, brown eyes.
Any idea where he was going to lunch? He was headed to the Vietnamese spot, Pho-ever 21.
- North on New Gower.
- Rex and I will go check it out.
Can you send me his employee photo? Rex.
Let's go, buddy.
Oh, man.
Your dog's sad.
Hey.
You see this guy? - About 5'9"? - Yeah, man.
Like five songs ago.
He was going that-a-way.
He walked into the - parking garage.
- You see him come out? No.
But I did see this really weird dude with a ponytail come out, a couple of minutes later.
Looks like he used the parking garage as his change room then left through a pedestrian exit.
Hey, buddy.
Detective Hudson.
I'm Will.
I can't believe the bank got robbed! Ollie said you had some questions for me.
I do but for right now, I'm gonna let my partner do the talking.
Rex, track it.
What have you got? That's my car.
What's going on? You want to pop the trunk? My the trunk? Why? Because right now, you're just a person of interest.
If you don't want to be upgraded to suspect, pop the trunk.
I don't know what that is.
Well, that is a holding cell and a call to your lawyer.
Oh! Bad dog! Barknado! Chill man! You smell my Tofurkey jerky? You want some? Dude, your dog is really into me, man.
Yeah, a little too much.
Will Kassabian.
Yeah, he's worked at the bank for six years.
No priors.
He did invest in some co-working spaces six months ago.
It didn't go that well.
Could be his MO.
What about the busker? His ID said his name is Marco Sands.
Yeah, that was a recent name change.
The database hasn't been updated yet.
He's a little flaky.
Yeah, that may be true but Rex found him suspicious.
Will Kassabian.
Follow me, please.
Mr.
Sands, we'll take your statement shortly.
Jesse can grab you a coffee.
Ah, no man.
Thank you.
I'm vegan.
Oh.
Right.
Explain how the disguise got left in your car.
I must've forgotten to lock my doors.
Maybe the robber hid it in the car.
Oh, you always leave your doors unlocked? - No.
- You just happened to today? - During the robbery? - Okay, do you know if you locked your doors, Detective? That's quite the temper you've got there.
My client is done speaking for the day.
An alternative explanation, the suspect could have broken into my client's car and left the disguise.
Yeah, except there was no sign of forced entry and your client's already admitted that he likes to keep his doors locked.
Yeah, you can't do that in here.
Oh, yo.
The glasses guy gave me 5 bucks which was really helpful because So, did he do it? Yeah, if only it worked that way.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
We shall.
That's mine.
When I met you outside the bank, you identified this man, Will Kassabian, as having entered the garage.
- That correct? - Yeah.
Actually, specifically, what you said is "He entered five songs ago.
" Can you be more specific than that? Ummm Well, yeah No, because Well I don't know.
I don't really keep track of time, really.
But it was like 25 minutes of songs.
Okay, so that'd be around 12:30? About six minutes before the robbery started? I started playing my 14-minute song and then that was when I saw Will go into the garage and then I see the ponytail dude go come out right when I get to my chorus.
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah! Bah! And then, when I finished, that was when the ponytail dude went back into the garage.
So the robbery was fourteen minutes, from 12:30 to 12:44.
Uh, yeah, man.
The length of my song.
So actually.
Here, - I'll play it for you if you want.
- No thank-you.
Can anyone corroborate your story? If only my drums could speak, man.
- Yeah.
- Anyway.
Peace out, brother.
- Good stuff.
- Hey, brother.
Um - One thing before you take off.
- Yeah.
Just curious.
Have you ever been in that bank? - No, no reason for me to go in.
- No? You had a recent name change.
I'm gonna need to see your previous name and ID.
Am I here as a witness, Detective? Because it sounds like you're trying to establish my alibi as a suspect.
Okay.
I'd like to speak to my lawyer, now.
Trudy Payne.
I think you'll find the name suits her.
Okay, man? Okay, man.
Thanks.
Go do your thing.
I got your text.
What's up? Why is Mark Sanford in my interrogation room? Mark Sanford? Wait.
You mean that Marco Sands is Of the wealthiest family in St.
John's Sanfords.
His father Larry is a friend of the SJPD.
He volunteers every year at the charity drive.
Well, I have reason to believe that he was involved in the robbery.
Rex pointed him out as the one inside the robber's disguise.
Do you have corroborating evidence? Not yet.
Joe, when has Rex ever been wrong? Charlie, we cannot hold someone indefinitely based on the testimony of Rex.
Either you get me something concrete or you cut him loose.
Trudy Payne is a very dangerous enemy to have.
Mmmm.
Our busker's name is Mark Sanford.
Privileged kid record, I mean he's got a DUI.
Possession of drugs.
But all charges dropped.
Could be a sign of growing delinquency.
Well, actually, it was after he and his family were the victims of a hit and run last year.
It was a huge tragedy.
His mother Linda was killed.
His father was near death.
Needed transfusions.
And Mark was in the back seat, with minimal injuries.
Whoa whoa whoa.
It looks like their family's worth 800 million dollars! Why would someone worth 800 million knock off a bank for a measly 200 grand? Could be a thrill robbery? Actually, we also have a bank employee who had motive, opportunity and the smoking gun of a disguise in his car, Charlie.
Just hear me out.
I may be crazy but is it possible that Rex might have been mistaken for once? There is a first time for everything.
Okay.
Well, our hostage Annie, is finishing up with the forensic artist.
Why don't we get her up here? I know she can identify him.
Sorry.
That's not him.
That guy on the other hand? He could definitely be our guy.
So that's Will.
The bank employee.
It does it does looks like him.
More than Mark.
At least in this police sketch.
- Annie, thanks for coming.
- Annie, come with me.
Come on.
- I'll show you downstairs.
- Hmmm.
Annie Kang.
23 years old.
Caribbean passport.
She's an international art student which explains the attention to detail.
I don't know.
Maybe Rex's nose is broken or something.
No.
If Rex says there's something there, there's something there.
Rex IDd Mark, not Will Donovan.
Yeah, I'll be right down.
All the pieces point to Will, Charlie.
Sorry, Rex.
What are we missing? Joe.
My boy Mark was brought in and I had to come.
He was simply the witness to a robbery.
Then why did he need a lawyer? Look.
My Mark He's a good kid.
He's just having a hard time since his mom passed.
They were so close.
Well, he's already been released, Larry.
He's been acting out.
Drinking, drugs, drums.
I don't want anything on his record that will affect the rest of his life.
We have an obligation to do our job.
That being said it's a tough age.
My daughter, Camilla, she's a few years younger and she's into posting videos.
A while back she pulled a stunt where she slides a penny between a charger and an outlet.
What's the point of that? In theory, to create a spark.
Get views.
In practice, to set her dorm on fire.
Yeah, I don't want that on her permanent record either.
I don't know how to get through to him anymore, Joe.
Maybe it's time to make good on my threats to cut him off.
See if he'll listen then.
Some people are motivated by money.
Okay, well, Mark's alibi checks out.
There's no direct sightline but employees said that they heard drumming all day.
But nobody saw him before you did.
When I triangulate where the sound came from, it's exactly where you met Marco playing bongos.
Well, it could've been a recording.
He's recorded his music for SoundCloud.
Oh also, Will, the bank employee's alibi at the pho place was a little un-pho filling.
Did you get it? - No one saw him.
- So you're saying both men are still on the table.
Any connection to previous robberies? Well, there is the Mount Pearl Credit Union.
Former employee, 5'8.
But green eyes though.
The guy in the bomber vest Yeah, that was Xavy and George's case.
They caught the guy but there could still be an accomplice out there.
Yeah, well we picked up a partial print on his vest which didn't belong to the robber.
But I'll send it to Sarah.
And the other recent bank robbery was The Cowgirl Bandit.
Over in Torbay.
That's right.
The suspect worked nearby.
MO was a crossbow.
Not much here.
There's nothing from ballistics.
Although the bullet markings are unusual for an Uzi.
- Hmm.
- Hey.
- Ask him.
- No, he's busy.
I can hear you guys.
What what? Well, you know, it's been a crazy day for you and - The barbecue is still on.
- Okay, great.
Because I'm making the perfect cheese board.
I'm getting fresh burrata from the cheese shop.
Wait, do you actually make a cheese board? Don't you kind of just like bring one? - Don't disparage the board.
- Oh, hey.
Make sure you guys save some room because I am making a beautiful dessert.
New Orleans-style beignets with a little bit of powdered sugar.
Ooh, we're gonna eat like kings, buddy.
Oh.
I went back over the alarms and they were both triggered and reset twice.
I didn't see anybody punch in a code.
The robber must've hacked the system.
Jesse, this is your area of expertise.
Do you want to check this out? Take Rex with you.
See if he picks up on anything.
Yeah.
Hey, Rex.
- Come on, bud! - Take care of him.
The alarm is connected here to a dedicated phone line.
Hmm.
The box's been tampered with.
But it was locked.
Hmmm.
Let's me see here.
The phone line has been cut and spliced back together.
Now, I'm thinking the robber installed an auto-dialer and set it to dial the code repeatedly cancelling all alarms.
That could have been put in at any time before the robbery.
They'd just have to take it out before we discovered the breach.
We had Will in custody then.
Not Mark.
Well, Larry Sanford is considering removing Mark from the family trust.
Whoa.
Former rich kid inherits motive.
You know, they could have been working together.
- He could have come back for it.
- Mmm.
Wait a second.
I was done anyway, listen.
Since Rex is here, do you mind if I get a photo? What's up, buddy? Huh? Looking good! Looking good! Mason.
Mason! He was pretending to take a photo of Rex.
He was really investigating the breach.
Hey, Hudson.
Mason.
The old warrant trick, huh? Heh.
Works every time.
Here's your photos, man.
What can I say, - Gordon Parks has nothing on me.
- Mason.
How did you know that junction box had been tampered with before anyone else did? Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie! Always so suspicious! Don't get upset because I got the jump on you, man.
Hey, man.
There's no shame in being the third best investigator in town.
You are number two.
Uh-huh? Every day I wake up tired And dreamy-eyed Leave it.
Come in! - Hey! - Hey! So The surveillance videos came in from Mount Pearl and Torbay robberies.
And also - I forgot to make the potato salad! - Yeah, no worries.
We've got enough food to feed an army.
Grab a beer.
Okay.
- Hey! - Hey! I got tied up with the tests and was too late for the cheese shop.
But I did bring Ooh! Flowers! And croutons! Mm-hmm! Well, I didn't get a chance to get home.
So I brought takeout beignets.
Aren't those just donuts? Wow, you guys are pretty bad at this whole work-life balance thing, huh? Does the caramelizing of the butter come before or after the drive-thru? Snitch.
Mason needs to take better care of his lenses.
Look at that scratch.
Hmm.
But look, the padlock is unlocked.
Maybe the auto-dialer was still in there because this was taken right after the robbery.
Guys, I think I may have a lead.
Remember the fragment Rex found at the scene of the robbery? It turns out it's a polycarbonate filament.
It's a custom blend made for 3D printers.
The robber was using a 3D printed gun? Yes and no.
A 3D gun couldn't withstand shooting more than a bullet or two.
It was a real gun.
It had to be.
But it didn't have to be a real Uzi.
Maybe that's why it sounded odd.
It was a Glock in a 3D-printed Uzi shell.
Well, I examined the bomb vest piece as well and it turns out it was also polycarbonate.
You know, I have the CCTV footage from that earlier robbery.
This is him leaving with the hostage.
Freeze it.
Can you zoom in on that hostage? Can you change her hair to brown? Yeah.
Well, look who we have here.
Our helpful hostage, Annie.
Annie Kang.
AKA Bomb Vest hostage Stacy Liu.
Stacy stated that the suspect's eyes were blue and pointed to bank who was charged and awaiting trial.
It's just like Will.
She made herself the witness and pointed to a fall guy.
Yeah.
The case looks solved.
Changed the M.
O.
and hit a bank in a different jurisdiction.
I think she was a part of the Cowgirl Bandit robbery as well.
Let's see.
Suspect was a woman with blue eyes and a heart tattoo matching Sonja Dupuis.
She was the wife of a bank employee.
The witness was get this: Marcus Ancheril.
Let me guess.
Oh, Mark Sanford with his full name and mother's maiden name.
So they were in it together.
And Rex knew all along.
Who is Annie Kang? Well, her passport is legit.
It's her short form with her mother's last name.
Same as Stacy Liu's ID.
May I introduce to you, Anastasia Liu Kang of the billionaire media Liu-Kang family? Another trust fund kid.
So that explains how she got multiple passports - and residencies.
- Yeah.
She went to the same private school as Mark.
She's using versions of her name as aliases: Annie Kang, Stacy Liu.
Looks like Anastasia's had several arrests for stunt driving.
And on her social media Sky-diving, canyoning.
A real adrenaline junkie.
Maybe she's the one getting Mark to do all the robberies.
You can ask her yourself.
She's a visual artist.
She owns a studio nearby.
What do you say, Doctor? Should we get some culture? - Let's do it.
- Rex.
After you.
Well, I guess you can have an art show anywhere these days.
Well, art is for the people, Charlie.
My bet is that she's using the 3D printer for sculpting.
And it could be the same polycarbonate.
Okay, pal.
Hmmm.
Can I help you with something? Detective Hudson? Mark Sanford? - That's your name, right? - Uh, yeah.
What do you think the chances are that two of my witnesses would be in the same studio? I don't know.
Perhaps we're both art people.
What to do you think are the chances that those two art people are also witnesses to two other bank robberies? Hey! Hey! I didn't realize you were an artist! I heard about the exhibit and I wanted to check it out! - Thank you! - The sculptural details are exquisite! How did you ever perfect the mould? Well, I'll let you in on a secret.
I sculpt with a 3D printer.
A 3D printer? Like could it make fake Uzis? Or IEDs? If my printer can do it, I'd like to see you prove it.
I looked into Anastasia.
She has a history of dangerous stunts but you've got a future.
- Why this? - Why what? Why not a business suit? Yeah, my dad would love that.
But I'm not my father's son.
Oh, hi again, Annie! Or is it Anastasia Liu-Kang? Hello, Detective.
So tell me, what is it that you're charging us with? You did lie about your identity and all three robberies used the same polycarbonate as your sculptures.
I gave the officers the ID I had on me.
- Both were authentic.
- Stop.
It's only a matter of time before we catch both of you.
Mark and Anastasia are on the watch list.
I put a 24-hour tail on the two of them.
And I submitted a memo to the banks to be on high alert.
We need to narrow down the targets.
There's no geographic pattern.
No connection between any of the valuables stolen.
- No personal connection.
- No personal connection with the banks.
But what about the fall guys? All the cases have been solved by eyewitness descriptions which means that they knew the fall guy ahead of time.
So there's Will Kassabian, and Sonja Dupuis.
on bail while awaiting trial.
Wait a minute.
They both just dumped their criminal defense lawyers and replaced them with Trudy Payne, Mark's lawyer.
That can't be a coincidence.
He's buying them off one at a time.
Yeah, except our assistant manager, Will.
He hasn't changed yet.
Maybe we can get him to talk.
Rex.
You ever hear the one about the guy who took the money in exchange for his silence? Huh? No? Well I guess I'll you about it in 15 to 20 years.
I don't have to disclose anything to you.
Annie and Mark.
Did you know this was their third robbery? We've found two other employees just like you.
Victims, charged with armed robbery.
Come on, Will.
You can really let them do this to somebody else? Or are you gonna stop them? I met Annie at a coffee shop two months ago.
My marriage was on the rocks and this woman comes up to me and she starts chatting to me.
That must've been flattering.
Yeah, well, we had an affair.
It felt like love.
Until she turned on me.
She had photos of us together and then she threatened to show them to my wife.
Unless you did something for her? She just wanted the reset codes.
I mean, I didn't think anything of it.
You have to type it into the security panel.
She'd have no way to access it! Yeah, what you didn't understand is that they were dialing it in at the junction box.
They told me to leave my car open that day.
They said they'd give me all evidence of the affair.
I'm an idiot.
When Annie contacted you, did she ever message you - on a cellphone or an email address? - Yeah.
I made an email account to contact her.
I can give you the password.
Yeah, Will's a terrible flirt but he's actually kind of sweet.
- Jesse.
- Right.
So his story checks out.
The first email he sent Anastasia was two months ago.
Wow.
Mark and Anastasia have been planning this heist for a long time.
Maybe it's about more than just adrenaline.
Mmm.
Oh, also I found the blackmail photos.
Wait a second.
I recognize that scratch.
I'm kind of in a rush, Hudson.
Well, great, you can explain it quickly.
You took this photo, Mason.
Huh? Now, spill it.
Look, a client wanted me to stake out that woman.
When you work with the wealthy, infidelity is your bread and butter, right? But if you take a closer look at this photo, you'll notice that it's a robber putting a bank manager in a position where they can blackmail them.
I don't know anything about that, man! Who are you working for, Mason? Is it Mark? Rex.
Come on, what? The auto-dialer.
You're the one that's protecting Mark.
David Mason, you're under arrest.
I think the term you're looking for is client confidentiality.
Yeah, you say that and all I hear is accessory to a crime.
It's not privileged, Mason.
- You know that.
- Fine.
All right, look.
I was working with Mark.
But not to rob banks, man.
I was hired to find his biological father.
- Larry Sanford is not his dad? - No.
He found out in the car accident.
Mark tried to donate blood to his dad but he couldn't.
And that's when he discovered that his blood couldn't be inherited from Larry.
Why not a business suit? Yeah, my dad would love that.
But I'm not my father's son.
- I'm not my father's son.
- Exactly.
Mark asked to know the identity but Larry refused.
The kid was in a bad way.
His mother just died and his dad isn't who he thought he was.
It got to me.
- Didn't hurt your wallet either.
- Really? Look.
I'm always gonna be in your debt for finding my family, right? Anyway, I did the best that I could but the adoption records were somewhere where they were closed.
And Larry had the only copy.
- So Mark needs to get his hands on it.
- Bingo.
Now Larry used to keep his personal belongings in the house.
But he started a home renovation and took all his valuables out.
And put them in a safety deposit box.
These robberies, they're not about the money.
- They're about the adoption papers.
- There you go.
He has six boxes all over Newfoundland.
- Why so many? - Well, the insurance is $100,000 per bank.
He needed six.
- Rich people.
- Ahh.
So, Mark, he doesn't know which bank.
- He's going through them one-by-one.
- Mm-hmm.
Now, I knew it was him after the second robbery.
And when he turned on those bank employees, I got worried he was gonna turn on me.
That's the danger of working with criminals.
Ahhh.
Anyway, I tailed Mark one night.
And I saw him at the junction box.
So after the robbery I took the auto-dialer as proof.
Kind of a get-out-of-jail card in case he tried to frame me.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna need a list of those banks.
Mason! Mark's not gonna stop until he gets what he wants.
If I do that, then I risk losing my clients, man.
It's the right thing to do.
I guess a leopard can change its spots.
Hey, Charlie.
I managed to get access to the email account that Anastasia was messaging Will from, with a warrant.
- Did it mention the next target? - Yes.
The next blackmail victim is a senior bank manager, named Bob Alcoba.
He's a bank employee at First Monument Bank on Maple Avenue.
Yeah, they got Bob to make an insurance check on the contents' personal papers.
I'm thinking that it was the adoption record.
Good job, Jesse.
Bring in the delivery guy now.
Our patrols just did a check on both Mark and Anastasia's residence.
They've disappeared.
Both ordered delivery.
And patrols saw a delivery person enter and a delivery person leave.
Let me guess.
The delivery people that left were Mark and Anastasia, right? That's a heck of a trick.
We need to get to First Monument Bank.
See if you can get Larry to stop his son.
Rex.
Time to go.
We have a witness who can prove that Mark and his friend Anastasia Liu-Kang are bank robbers.
That's pure fiction.
I'm calling my lawyer.
You can deny it all you want but that's not gonna help protect your son.
He's on his way to his next heist.
And when he gets there, he's gonna be met an armed SWAT team.
He could lose his life.
- If you want to protect him, help us stop him.
- How? Mark is trying to get his hands on your safety deposit boxes because he wants his adoption papers.
That's what this is about? Everything is almost set up.
Hold on, I'm getting confirmation.
Okay, Charlie's squad is on its way.
It's been six minutes since the alarm.
Well, they're gonna be a little late.
We've got eyes on them.
Rex! Hey.
Take your glasses off.
What are you guys doing here? We're a flash mob! It's in five minutes, man! Where's your wig? Ughh! Ahh! Anastasia.
You can't run from Rex's nose.
Okay, the grey sedan up ahead is the car of the bank employee they targeted.
Now if Mark is following the plan, he should be arriving now.
Freeze! - Dad! - Mark.
Put the gun down.
No, I don't have to do that.
I don't have to do what you tell me.
You're not my dad.
I'm just gonna get in the car and drive away.
Don't try to stop me, I'm just gonna go.
You don't want a shootout with a SWAT team, Mark.
Maybe I do.
Maybe I do! Maybe I want to see this through! I don't know! Everything I know is a lie now! I have nothing left because you lied to me! You're right, Mark.
You're right.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
It was complicated.
It was complicated, yeah.
Right before Mom died she said that she kept a secret for too long.
What does that mean? What did you do? She had an affair.
It wasn't as though I didn't give her a reason for leaving.
We had issues, but, we realized we wanted to be a family together.
So I promised to put the past behind us.
I kept her secret.
You you lied.
You lied to me for 23 years of my life! - You lied to me for my entire life! - And I shouldn't have.
I haven't been there for you and I am so sorry! Well Mark was in pain.
You saw him.
- That's why you committed four robberies? - He'd asked his dad.
He tried everything.
This was the only way left.
Yeah, that's why Mark did it.
But you This was just to get your kicks, to live out your fantasy as a bank robber.
Cowgirl.
Or it was me standing beside a troubled friend.
You almost sent four people to prison.
Innocent people.
You say you did this for Mark? Mark's in prison.
You really wanted to be a true friend? You should have protected him.
Dinner's up! Come and get it.
- Oooh! - Whoo! We really outdid ourselves! Yeah, I'd like to see Martha Stewart try to pull this off! - We hired a caterer.
- Oh.
Well, Mark and Anastasia's robbery days are over.
Yeah, and because of Mark's testimony, Will Kassabian and the other fall guys, - they're cleared of all criminal charges.
- Mm-hmm.
You know what? I just want to congratulate you all on a job well done.
But I'd be remiss, if I didn't send out a special congratulations to Rex.
Couldn't have done it without you and um I never should have doubted you in the first place.
And for that, I'm sorry.
So without further ado - To Rex! - To Rex! To Rex.
Wait is that the end of season 3 already? I know right? How did time go by so fast? I know, I guess that's what happens when you're having fun.
Diesel agrees.
And to continue the fun, here is some great news.
We've been green lit for season 4! Season 4, is a go! Woooooo!!! We're going back to St.
Johns.
Well, I think that calls for another toast.
- Cheers.
- Cheers! That's right, buddy.
We're coming back on Citytv with 16 new episodes.
The new season.
Cheers Canada.
It kind of caramelizes a little bit and you know, adds a little sweetness.
Well, I'll be making a smoked paprika potato salad for your barbecue tonight.
Can I pet your dog? - Sure.
- Look at you! Hi! - Nyoonyoonyoo! - Hey Jesse, I've got to go.
Rex has fans again.
- He's a sucker for attention.
- Of course he is! - Oh yeah, you deserve it! - Huh.
You're beautiful.
- Thanks.
- Have a good day.
You too.
Hit the floor! Down! Now! Everybody! Get down! Now! - Easy, pal.
- Take your phones out, toss them in the centre! Now! Quickly, quickly! You want to parboil the potatoes eight to ten minutes.
Skin on.
Leave the skin on.
It's better that way.
Hot smoked paprika is better than regular smoked paprika.
You get a little bit of kick.
The secret ingredient: Worcestershire.
- Shut that dog up or I'll shut it up! - Rex, down.
Nobody's looking for trouble.
You want to point that gun at anyone, you point it at me.
Think I'm joking? - Do you think I'm joking? - Please, please don't hurt me.
It's okay, miss.
What's your name? - Annie.
- Annie.
We're gonna get through this.
On the floor! We're moving! Move! We're moving! Everybody stay down! Except for you! Get up, get the money, put it in the bag! Now! Quickly, quickly! - No dye packs! - No sirens.
Where are they? Hmm! One new message.
Get up, get the money, put it in the bag! - Now! Quickly, quickly! - That's all I've got.
That's not enough! That's not enough! Keys! Key to the vault! Now! Come on! Keys right now, to the vault! Grab the bag.
We're moving! Everybody stay down! Move move move! Move move move move! - Don't hurt me! - Ready, partner? Right now! Right now! Okay! Move, move, move, move! Okay! I'm doing it as fast as I can! - Put it in! Put it in! - Okay! Let's go! Grab them! Let's go! Let's go! Grab them! Put it in the bag! I'm SJPD.
- I'm not looking for a fight.
- Don't be a hero.
I just want you to let the woman go.
She's the thing keeping you from shooting me, so I think she stays! Those cops are getting close.
I think I'd take the deal.
Grab the drill.
Put it in the bag.
Move.
We're moving.
We're going! - Easy.
- Ughh! Rex, go! You okay? Yeah? Police are on the way.
Hey, Charlie.
- Sarah.
- It's good to see you.
We heard the gunshots on Jesse's voicemail.
We didn't know if anything had And what? Leave you to process a crime scene by yourself? I 'd never do that.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
So you want to walk me through this crime scene? Yeah.
New territory isn't it? The suspect was 5'8, male.
Had a long brown ponytail.
Probably a wig.
Shell casing.
Mark it.
Do you know what kind of gun it was? Looks like an Uzi.
But didn't sound like one.
Three rounds.
One from the door and two here at the counter.
What have you got, pal? A metal fragment.
Possibly from the gun? Good find, Rex.
- Thank you.
- Next, the suspect headed to the vault.
He took the hostage with him.
They were in there less than two minutes when I interrupted things.
Looks like he got to four safety deposit boxes.
He had the right drill bit.
Yeah, it was quick.
And it wasn't his first rodeo.
Oh, but I did manage to bag his hat.
He dropped it when he was climbing up onto the roof.
Ah.
Hudson.
It's good to hear your voice.
And yours too, Rex.
Yeah, I didn't want to give you a scare.
I just wanted to sound the alarm.
Well, it's a good thing you did.
I just spoke to switchboard.
They didn't receive any company alarm notifications.
Yours was the first call.
I also spoke to the security company and it looks like the silent alarm was either never triggered or disabled.
Yeah.
This guy was a pro.
Jesse, look into any previous robberies.
See if you can find a connection.
Just one sec.
I see the bank manager.
I've got to go.
Thank you again, Detective.
And Rex.
It wasn't my first but definitely one of the worst.
Any idea what was taken? There was $50,000 taken from the till.
And $150,000 in valuables from the safety deposit boxes.
Here's a list of the owners.
Eleanor Vaughn, who lost her jewelry.
Alphie Staple and his stamp collection.
And two numbered companies lost business documents.
Huh.
Your security company reported that they never received a silent alarm.
Well, I pressed it in the very beginning! Any way that it could become disarmed? There's an emergency reset code for false alarms.
It's the only way to cancel, once it's triggered.
- And who would have those codes? - Myself and the assistant manager.
But you have to enter it into the keypad.
And I didn't see anyone there.
Well, I'm gonna need a list of all of your employees.
And have you finished a head count yet? - We're in the middle of it.
Thanks very much.
- Okay, great.
Come on, pal.
He put the gun to my head.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'll take it from here.
Annie, you're doing great.
I was so scared.
No, it didn't seem like fear to me.
It seemed more like bravery.
I know what he looks like.
His glasses slipped.
I saw his eyes and a bit of his hair.
He said he'd kill me if I told anyone.
You don't have to worry about that.
He can't harm you, I promise.
He has brown eyes and brown hair.
Do you think you could describe these details - to the forensic artist? - Mm-hmm.
Thanks, Annie.
Rex.
David Mason! What the hell are you doing here? Hey! Charlie! Same as you.
I'm on a case.
I've got a client who keeps his valuables here.
Sent me down to investigate.
You mean interfere with my investigation.
Ah, don't be mad because I'm gonna solve this before you! The only edge you have over me is Rex here, man.
Hey, Rex! How are you doing buddy? Still saving lives? I'll never forget the day you saved mine.
- That's my boy, right there.
- Uh-huh.
Well, you can't take photos of a crime scene - so hand them over.
- Hey, nah, nah.
this is a public space.
Besides, the photos belong to my client.
And who might that be? Come on.
You know how confidentiality works.
I can't give you a name! Okay, well I guess I'll get a warrant.
Whoever they are, they must have pretty deep pockets.
You're looking good! VIP clients! They keep you around the clock.
Anyway, listen.
Since Rex is here, you mind if I get a photo? What, of us? Uhhh.
What's up, buddy? Huh? You're looking good! Looking good! Okay, got it.
Peace, brother.
Don't tell me you're starting to like him.
Detective Hudson! - Huh? - I did a head count.
And everyone is here except for Will Kassabian.
He went for lunch.
And Detective? Will is the assistant manager.
He has the reset code.
What does he look like? He's 5'8 ", 5'9"? Brown hair, brown eyes.
Any idea where he was going to lunch? He was headed to the Vietnamese spot, Pho-ever 21.
- North on New Gower.
- Rex and I will go check it out.
Can you send me his employee photo? Rex.
Let's go, buddy.
Oh, man.
Your dog's sad.
Hey.
You see this guy? - About 5'9"? - Yeah, man.
Like five songs ago.
He was going that-a-way.
He walked into the - parking garage.
- You see him come out? No.
But I did see this really weird dude with a ponytail come out, a couple of minutes later.
Looks like he used the parking garage as his change room then left through a pedestrian exit.
Hey, buddy.
Detective Hudson.
I'm Will.
I can't believe the bank got robbed! Ollie said you had some questions for me.
I do but for right now, I'm gonna let my partner do the talking.
Rex, track it.
What have you got? That's my car.
What's going on? You want to pop the trunk? My the trunk? Why? Because right now, you're just a person of interest.
If you don't want to be upgraded to suspect, pop the trunk.
I don't know what that is.
Well, that is a holding cell and a call to your lawyer.
Oh! Bad dog! Barknado! Chill man! You smell my Tofurkey jerky? You want some? Dude, your dog is really into me, man.
Yeah, a little too much.
Will Kassabian.
Yeah, he's worked at the bank for six years.
No priors.
He did invest in some co-working spaces six months ago.
It didn't go that well.
Could be his MO.
What about the busker? His ID said his name is Marco Sands.
Yeah, that was a recent name change.
The database hasn't been updated yet.
He's a little flaky.
Yeah, that may be true but Rex found him suspicious.
Will Kassabian.
Follow me, please.
Mr.
Sands, we'll take your statement shortly.
Jesse can grab you a coffee.
Ah, no man.
Thank you.
I'm vegan.
Oh.
Right.
Explain how the disguise got left in your car.
I must've forgotten to lock my doors.
Maybe the robber hid it in the car.
Oh, you always leave your doors unlocked? - No.
- You just happened to today? - During the robbery? - Okay, do you know if you locked your doors, Detective? That's quite the temper you've got there.
My client is done speaking for the day.
An alternative explanation, the suspect could have broken into my client's car and left the disguise.
Yeah, except there was no sign of forced entry and your client's already admitted that he likes to keep his doors locked.
Yeah, you can't do that in here.
Oh, yo.
The glasses guy gave me 5 bucks which was really helpful because So, did he do it? Yeah, if only it worked that way.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
We shall.
That's mine.
When I met you outside the bank, you identified this man, Will Kassabian, as having entered the garage.
- That correct? - Yeah.
Actually, specifically, what you said is "He entered five songs ago.
" Can you be more specific than that? Ummm Well, yeah No, because Well I don't know.
I don't really keep track of time, really.
But it was like 25 minutes of songs.
Okay, so that'd be around 12:30? About six minutes before the robbery started? I started playing my 14-minute song and then that was when I saw Will go into the garage and then I see the ponytail dude go come out right when I get to my chorus.
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah! Bah! And then, when I finished, that was when the ponytail dude went back into the garage.
So the robbery was fourteen minutes, from 12:30 to 12:44.
Uh, yeah, man.
The length of my song.
So actually.
Here, - I'll play it for you if you want.
- No thank-you.
Can anyone corroborate your story? If only my drums could speak, man.
- Yeah.
- Anyway.
Peace out, brother.
- Good stuff.
- Hey, brother.
Um - One thing before you take off.
- Yeah.
Just curious.
Have you ever been in that bank? - No, no reason for me to go in.
- No? You had a recent name change.
I'm gonna need to see your previous name and ID.
Am I here as a witness, Detective? Because it sounds like you're trying to establish my alibi as a suspect.
Okay.
I'd like to speak to my lawyer, now.
Trudy Payne.
I think you'll find the name suits her.
Okay, man? Okay, man.
Thanks.
Go do your thing.
I got your text.
What's up? Why is Mark Sanford in my interrogation room? Mark Sanford? Wait.
You mean that Marco Sands is Of the wealthiest family in St.
John's Sanfords.
His father Larry is a friend of the SJPD.
He volunteers every year at the charity drive.
Well, I have reason to believe that he was involved in the robbery.
Rex pointed him out as the one inside the robber's disguise.
Do you have corroborating evidence? Not yet.
Joe, when has Rex ever been wrong? Charlie, we cannot hold someone indefinitely based on the testimony of Rex.
Either you get me something concrete or you cut him loose.
Trudy Payne is a very dangerous enemy to have.
Mmmm.
Our busker's name is Mark Sanford.
Privileged kid record, I mean he's got a DUI.
Possession of drugs.
But all charges dropped.
Could be a sign of growing delinquency.
Well, actually, it was after he and his family were the victims of a hit and run last year.
It was a huge tragedy.
His mother Linda was killed.
His father was near death.
Needed transfusions.
And Mark was in the back seat, with minimal injuries.
Whoa whoa whoa.
It looks like their family's worth 800 million dollars! Why would someone worth 800 million knock off a bank for a measly 200 grand? Could be a thrill robbery? Actually, we also have a bank employee who had motive, opportunity and the smoking gun of a disguise in his car, Charlie.
Just hear me out.
I may be crazy but is it possible that Rex might have been mistaken for once? There is a first time for everything.
Okay.
Well, our hostage Annie, is finishing up with the forensic artist.
Why don't we get her up here? I know she can identify him.
Sorry.
That's not him.
That guy on the other hand? He could definitely be our guy.
So that's Will.
The bank employee.
It does it does looks like him.
More than Mark.
At least in this police sketch.
- Annie, thanks for coming.
- Annie, come with me.
Come on.
- I'll show you downstairs.
- Hmmm.
Annie Kang.
23 years old.
Caribbean passport.
She's an international art student which explains the attention to detail.
I don't know.
Maybe Rex's nose is broken or something.
No.
If Rex says there's something there, there's something there.
Rex IDd Mark, not Will Donovan.
Yeah, I'll be right down.
All the pieces point to Will, Charlie.
Sorry, Rex.
What are we missing? Joe.
My boy Mark was brought in and I had to come.
He was simply the witness to a robbery.
Then why did he need a lawyer? Look.
My Mark He's a good kid.
He's just having a hard time since his mom passed.
They were so close.
Well, he's already been released, Larry.
He's been acting out.
Drinking, drugs, drums.
I don't want anything on his record that will affect the rest of his life.
We have an obligation to do our job.
That being said it's a tough age.
My daughter, Camilla, she's a few years younger and she's into posting videos.
A while back she pulled a stunt where she slides a penny between a charger and an outlet.
What's the point of that? In theory, to create a spark.
Get views.
In practice, to set her dorm on fire.
Yeah, I don't want that on her permanent record either.
I don't know how to get through to him anymore, Joe.
Maybe it's time to make good on my threats to cut him off.
See if he'll listen then.
Some people are motivated by money.
Okay, well, Mark's alibi checks out.
There's no direct sightline but employees said that they heard drumming all day.
But nobody saw him before you did.
When I triangulate where the sound came from, it's exactly where you met Marco playing bongos.
Well, it could've been a recording.
He's recorded his music for SoundCloud.
Oh also, Will, the bank employee's alibi at the pho place was a little un-pho filling.
Did you get it? - No one saw him.
- So you're saying both men are still on the table.
Any connection to previous robberies? Well, there is the Mount Pearl Credit Union.
Former employee, 5'8.
But green eyes though.
The guy in the bomber vest Yeah, that was Xavy and George's case.
They caught the guy but there could still be an accomplice out there.
Yeah, well we picked up a partial print on his vest which didn't belong to the robber.
But I'll send it to Sarah.
And the other recent bank robbery was The Cowgirl Bandit.
Over in Torbay.
That's right.
The suspect worked nearby.
MO was a crossbow.
Not much here.
There's nothing from ballistics.
Although the bullet markings are unusual for an Uzi.
- Hmm.
- Hey.
- Ask him.
- No, he's busy.
I can hear you guys.
What what? Well, you know, it's been a crazy day for you and - The barbecue is still on.
- Okay, great.
Because I'm making the perfect cheese board.
I'm getting fresh burrata from the cheese shop.
Wait, do you actually make a cheese board? Don't you kind of just like bring one? - Don't disparage the board.
- Oh, hey.
Make sure you guys save some room because I am making a beautiful dessert.
New Orleans-style beignets with a little bit of powdered sugar.
Ooh, we're gonna eat like kings, buddy.
Oh.
I went back over the alarms and they were both triggered and reset twice.
I didn't see anybody punch in a code.
The robber must've hacked the system.
Jesse, this is your area of expertise.
Do you want to check this out? Take Rex with you.
See if he picks up on anything.
Yeah.
Hey, Rex.
- Come on, bud! - Take care of him.
The alarm is connected here to a dedicated phone line.
Hmm.
The box's been tampered with.
But it was locked.
Hmmm.
Let's me see here.
The phone line has been cut and spliced back together.
Now, I'm thinking the robber installed an auto-dialer and set it to dial the code repeatedly cancelling all alarms.
That could have been put in at any time before the robbery.
They'd just have to take it out before we discovered the breach.
We had Will in custody then.
Not Mark.
Well, Larry Sanford is considering removing Mark from the family trust.
Whoa.
Former rich kid inherits motive.
You know, they could have been working together.
- He could have come back for it.
- Mmm.
Wait a second.
I was done anyway, listen.
Since Rex is here, do you mind if I get a photo? What's up, buddy? Huh? Looking good! Looking good! Mason.
Mason! He was pretending to take a photo of Rex.
He was really investigating the breach.
Hey, Hudson.
Mason.
The old warrant trick, huh? Heh.
Works every time.
Here's your photos, man.
What can I say, - Gordon Parks has nothing on me.
- Mason.
How did you know that junction box had been tampered with before anyone else did? Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie! Always so suspicious! Don't get upset because I got the jump on you, man.
Hey, man.
There's no shame in being the third best investigator in town.
You are number two.
Uh-huh? Every day I wake up tired And dreamy-eyed Leave it.
Come in! - Hey! - Hey! So The surveillance videos came in from Mount Pearl and Torbay robberies.
And also - I forgot to make the potato salad! - Yeah, no worries.
We've got enough food to feed an army.
Grab a beer.
Okay.
- Hey! - Hey! I got tied up with the tests and was too late for the cheese shop.
But I did bring Ooh! Flowers! And croutons! Mm-hmm! Well, I didn't get a chance to get home.
So I brought takeout beignets.
Aren't those just donuts? Wow, you guys are pretty bad at this whole work-life balance thing, huh? Does the caramelizing of the butter come before or after the drive-thru? Snitch.
Mason needs to take better care of his lenses.
Look at that scratch.
Hmm.
But look, the padlock is unlocked.
Maybe the auto-dialer was still in there because this was taken right after the robbery.
Guys, I think I may have a lead.
Remember the fragment Rex found at the scene of the robbery? It turns out it's a polycarbonate filament.
It's a custom blend made for 3D printers.
The robber was using a 3D printed gun? Yes and no.
A 3D gun couldn't withstand shooting more than a bullet or two.
It was a real gun.
It had to be.
But it didn't have to be a real Uzi.
Maybe that's why it sounded odd.
It was a Glock in a 3D-printed Uzi shell.
Well, I examined the bomb vest piece as well and it turns out it was also polycarbonate.
You know, I have the CCTV footage from that earlier robbery.
This is him leaving with the hostage.
Freeze it.
Can you zoom in on that hostage? Can you change her hair to brown? Yeah.
Well, look who we have here.
Our helpful hostage, Annie.
Annie Kang.
AKA Bomb Vest hostage Stacy Liu.
Stacy stated that the suspect's eyes were blue and pointed to bank who was charged and awaiting trial.
It's just like Will.
She made herself the witness and pointed to a fall guy.
Yeah.
The case looks solved.
Changed the M.
O.
and hit a bank in a different jurisdiction.
I think she was a part of the Cowgirl Bandit robbery as well.
Let's see.
Suspect was a woman with blue eyes and a heart tattoo matching Sonja Dupuis.
She was the wife of a bank employee.
The witness was get this: Marcus Ancheril.
Let me guess.
Oh, Mark Sanford with his full name and mother's maiden name.
So they were in it together.
And Rex knew all along.
Who is Annie Kang? Well, her passport is legit.
It's her short form with her mother's last name.
Same as Stacy Liu's ID.
May I introduce to you, Anastasia Liu Kang of the billionaire media Liu-Kang family? Another trust fund kid.
So that explains how she got multiple passports - and residencies.
- Yeah.
She went to the same private school as Mark.
She's using versions of her name as aliases: Annie Kang, Stacy Liu.
Looks like Anastasia's had several arrests for stunt driving.
And on her social media Sky-diving, canyoning.
A real adrenaline junkie.
Maybe she's the one getting Mark to do all the robberies.
You can ask her yourself.
She's a visual artist.
She owns a studio nearby.
What do you say, Doctor? Should we get some culture? - Let's do it.
- Rex.
After you.
Well, I guess you can have an art show anywhere these days.
Well, art is for the people, Charlie.
My bet is that she's using the 3D printer for sculpting.
And it could be the same polycarbonate.
Okay, pal.
Hmmm.
Can I help you with something? Detective Hudson? Mark Sanford? - That's your name, right? - Uh, yeah.
What do you think the chances are that two of my witnesses would be in the same studio? I don't know.
Perhaps we're both art people.
What to do you think are the chances that those two art people are also witnesses to two other bank robberies? Hey! Hey! I didn't realize you were an artist! I heard about the exhibit and I wanted to check it out! - Thank you! - The sculptural details are exquisite! How did you ever perfect the mould? Well, I'll let you in on a secret.
I sculpt with a 3D printer.
A 3D printer? Like could it make fake Uzis? Or IEDs? If my printer can do it, I'd like to see you prove it.
I looked into Anastasia.
She has a history of dangerous stunts but you've got a future.
- Why this? - Why what? Why not a business suit? Yeah, my dad would love that.
But I'm not my father's son.
Oh, hi again, Annie! Or is it Anastasia Liu-Kang? Hello, Detective.
So tell me, what is it that you're charging us with? You did lie about your identity and all three robberies used the same polycarbonate as your sculptures.
I gave the officers the ID I had on me.
- Both were authentic.
- Stop.
It's only a matter of time before we catch both of you.
Mark and Anastasia are on the watch list.
I put a 24-hour tail on the two of them.
And I submitted a memo to the banks to be on high alert.
We need to narrow down the targets.
There's no geographic pattern.
No connection between any of the valuables stolen.
- No personal connection.
- No personal connection with the banks.
But what about the fall guys? All the cases have been solved by eyewitness descriptions which means that they knew the fall guy ahead of time.
So there's Will Kassabian, and Sonja Dupuis.
on bail while awaiting trial.
Wait a minute.
They both just dumped their criminal defense lawyers and replaced them with Trudy Payne, Mark's lawyer.
That can't be a coincidence.
He's buying them off one at a time.
Yeah, except our assistant manager, Will.
He hasn't changed yet.
Maybe we can get him to talk.
Rex.
You ever hear the one about the guy who took the money in exchange for his silence? Huh? No? Well I guess I'll you about it in 15 to 20 years.
I don't have to disclose anything to you.
Annie and Mark.
Did you know this was their third robbery? We've found two other employees just like you.
Victims, charged with armed robbery.
Come on, Will.
You can really let them do this to somebody else? Or are you gonna stop them? I met Annie at a coffee shop two months ago.
My marriage was on the rocks and this woman comes up to me and she starts chatting to me.
That must've been flattering.
Yeah, well, we had an affair.
It felt like love.
Until she turned on me.
She had photos of us together and then she threatened to show them to my wife.
Unless you did something for her? She just wanted the reset codes.
I mean, I didn't think anything of it.
You have to type it into the security panel.
She'd have no way to access it! Yeah, what you didn't understand is that they were dialing it in at the junction box.
They told me to leave my car open that day.
They said they'd give me all evidence of the affair.
I'm an idiot.
When Annie contacted you, did she ever message you - on a cellphone or an email address? - Yeah.
I made an email account to contact her.
I can give you the password.
Yeah, Will's a terrible flirt but he's actually kind of sweet.
- Jesse.
- Right.
So his story checks out.
The first email he sent Anastasia was two months ago.
Wow.
Mark and Anastasia have been planning this heist for a long time.
Maybe it's about more than just adrenaline.
Mmm.
Oh, also I found the blackmail photos.
Wait a second.
I recognize that scratch.
I'm kind of in a rush, Hudson.
Well, great, you can explain it quickly.
You took this photo, Mason.
Huh? Now, spill it.
Look, a client wanted me to stake out that woman.
When you work with the wealthy, infidelity is your bread and butter, right? But if you take a closer look at this photo, you'll notice that it's a robber putting a bank manager in a position where they can blackmail them.
I don't know anything about that, man! Who are you working for, Mason? Is it Mark? Rex.
Come on, what? The auto-dialer.
You're the one that's protecting Mark.
David Mason, you're under arrest.
I think the term you're looking for is client confidentiality.
Yeah, you say that and all I hear is accessory to a crime.
It's not privileged, Mason.
- You know that.
- Fine.
All right, look.
I was working with Mark.
But not to rob banks, man.
I was hired to find his biological father.
- Larry Sanford is not his dad? - No.
He found out in the car accident.
Mark tried to donate blood to his dad but he couldn't.
And that's when he discovered that his blood couldn't be inherited from Larry.
Why not a business suit? Yeah, my dad would love that.
But I'm not my father's son.
- I'm not my father's son.
- Exactly.
Mark asked to know the identity but Larry refused.
The kid was in a bad way.
His mother just died and his dad isn't who he thought he was.
It got to me.
- Didn't hurt your wallet either.
- Really? Look.
I'm always gonna be in your debt for finding my family, right? Anyway, I did the best that I could but the adoption records were somewhere where they were closed.
And Larry had the only copy.
- So Mark needs to get his hands on it.
- Bingo.
Now Larry used to keep his personal belongings in the house.
But he started a home renovation and took all his valuables out.
And put them in a safety deposit box.
These robberies, they're not about the money.
- They're about the adoption papers.
- There you go.
He has six boxes all over Newfoundland.
- Why so many? - Well, the insurance is $100,000 per bank.
He needed six.
- Rich people.
- Ahh.
So, Mark, he doesn't know which bank.
- He's going through them one-by-one.
- Mm-hmm.
Now, I knew it was him after the second robbery.
And when he turned on those bank employees, I got worried he was gonna turn on me.
That's the danger of working with criminals.
Ahhh.
Anyway, I tailed Mark one night.
And I saw him at the junction box.
So after the robbery I took the auto-dialer as proof.
Kind of a get-out-of-jail card in case he tried to frame me.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna need a list of those banks.
Mason! Mark's not gonna stop until he gets what he wants.
If I do that, then I risk losing my clients, man.
It's the right thing to do.
I guess a leopard can change its spots.
Hey, Charlie.
I managed to get access to the email account that Anastasia was messaging Will from, with a warrant.
- Did it mention the next target? - Yes.
The next blackmail victim is a senior bank manager, named Bob Alcoba.
He's a bank employee at First Monument Bank on Maple Avenue.
Yeah, they got Bob to make an insurance check on the contents' personal papers.
I'm thinking that it was the adoption record.
Good job, Jesse.
Bring in the delivery guy now.
Our patrols just did a check on both Mark and Anastasia's residence.
They've disappeared.
Both ordered delivery.
And patrols saw a delivery person enter and a delivery person leave.
Let me guess.
The delivery people that left were Mark and Anastasia, right? That's a heck of a trick.
We need to get to First Monument Bank.
See if you can get Larry to stop his son.
Rex.
Time to go.
We have a witness who can prove that Mark and his friend Anastasia Liu-Kang are bank robbers.
That's pure fiction.
I'm calling my lawyer.
You can deny it all you want but that's not gonna help protect your son.
He's on his way to his next heist.
And when he gets there, he's gonna be met an armed SWAT team.
He could lose his life.
- If you want to protect him, help us stop him.
- How? Mark is trying to get his hands on your safety deposit boxes because he wants his adoption papers.
That's what this is about? Everything is almost set up.
Hold on, I'm getting confirmation.
Okay, Charlie's squad is on its way.
It's been six minutes since the alarm.
Well, they're gonna be a little late.
We've got eyes on them.
Rex! Hey.
Take your glasses off.
What are you guys doing here? We're a flash mob! It's in five minutes, man! Where's your wig? Ughh! Ahh! Anastasia.
You can't run from Rex's nose.
Okay, the grey sedan up ahead is the car of the bank employee they targeted.
Now if Mark is following the plan, he should be arriving now.
Freeze! - Dad! - Mark.
Put the gun down.
No, I don't have to do that.
I don't have to do what you tell me.
You're not my dad.
I'm just gonna get in the car and drive away.
Don't try to stop me, I'm just gonna go.
You don't want a shootout with a SWAT team, Mark.
Maybe I do.
Maybe I do! Maybe I want to see this through! I don't know! Everything I know is a lie now! I have nothing left because you lied to me! You're right, Mark.
You're right.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
It was complicated.
It was complicated, yeah.
Right before Mom died she said that she kept a secret for too long.
What does that mean? What did you do? She had an affair.
It wasn't as though I didn't give her a reason for leaving.
We had issues, but, we realized we wanted to be a family together.
So I promised to put the past behind us.
I kept her secret.
You you lied.
You lied to me for 23 years of my life! - You lied to me for my entire life! - And I shouldn't have.
I haven't been there for you and I am so sorry! Well Mark was in pain.
You saw him.
- That's why you committed four robberies? - He'd asked his dad.
He tried everything.
This was the only way left.
Yeah, that's why Mark did it.
But you This was just to get your kicks, to live out your fantasy as a bank robber.
Cowgirl.
Or it was me standing beside a troubled friend.
You almost sent four people to prison.
Innocent people.
You say you did this for Mark? Mark's in prison.
You really wanted to be a true friend? You should have protected him.
Dinner's up! Come and get it.
- Oooh! - Whoo! We really outdid ourselves! Yeah, I'd like to see Martha Stewart try to pull this off! - We hired a caterer.
- Oh.
Well, Mark and Anastasia's robbery days are over.
Yeah, and because of Mark's testimony, Will Kassabian and the other fall guys, - they're cleared of all criminal charges.
- Mm-hmm.
You know what? I just want to congratulate you all on a job well done.
But I'd be remiss, if I didn't send out a special congratulations to Rex.
Couldn't have done it without you and um I never should have doubted you in the first place.
And for that, I'm sorry.
So without further ado - To Rex! - To Rex! To Rex.
Wait is that the end of season 3 already? I know right? How did time go by so fast? I know, I guess that's what happens when you're having fun.
Diesel agrees.
And to continue the fun, here is some great news.
We've been green lit for season 4! Season 4, is a go! Woooooo!!! We're going back to St.

Well, I think that calls for another toast.
