Hudson and Rex (2019) s04e10 Episode Script
Blood & Diamonds
1
The woman tells you to shave
your beard, you shave your beard.
Look, I can't let her be telling me what to do, can I? Oh, get over yourself.
What do you love more? Her? Or that rat's nest on your chin? All right, no need of that now.
- Hey, you got the coffee shipment today? - Yeah.
How's your back feeling? You want to trade? I've got the packing station.
Thanks, bud.
Appreciate it.
Lord thunderin' ! What have you got? Oh, good find, Rex.
- Stray shot? - The victim had entry and exit wounds.
But judging by that blood, I think we've got our bullet.
- Hmm.
- .
38 calibre.
Guys, the warehouse manager gave me the time clock data from yesterday.
McHale clocked out a few minutes after 6:00.
Really? Sarah said that time of death was a couple hours after that.
Yeah, but apparently he had keys to the place.
I wonder why he came back.
Jesse, what do we know about the guy? Well, Sean McHale.
Come from away.
Came to St.
John's two years ago.
But you know, I'm not sure from where but he lives out on Topsail.
He's the only owner listed on his house.
- Okay.
- No woman I know of.
Nor family.
Anyone around here have anything against him? Sean b'y.
Made friends everywhere he went.
Thank you.
Yeah, I see it.
It's like somebody was looking for something in there.
These edges are straight.
Someone used a knife to open it.
Uncut diamonds? Everyone's best friend except for his.
- So the dead employee's name is - Sean McHale.
How do you know? Contraband uncut conflict diamonds are being smuggled into St.
John's in coffee shipments - from Sierra Leone.
- I ran some tests.
And that might explain this.
We found it near the body.
Ten carats at least.
The clarity and colour are definitely gem quality.
My father was a jeweler.
I used to help out at his shop.
Very good.
When we find the rest of the diamonds, this will help tie the killer to the scene.
So you believe our victim was a diamond smuggler who was murdered for the goods? McHale wasn't a smuggler.
He was the inside man who worked in the warehouse.
His job was to ID the bags containing diamonds - and hand them off to the courier.
- A low-level player.
Yes.
McHale was doing the hand-offs for months without incident until last night.
I suspect he was killed by the man he was working for, the head of the operation: Hanif Reda.
Okay, so who is this Hanif Reda and why have we never heard of him? Well, you're hearing about him now.
Here we go.
Hanif Reda owns a garage in Georgetown.
It's a pretty small operation but judging by his social media, it seems that he and his family live large.
I think you mean beyond his means, Constable Mills.
- Yes, ma'am.
- But you raise an interesting point.
Reda has an income stream that is not on the books.
Oh, so you think his garage is a front for a diamond smuggling operation? - Exactly.
- But how did this lead to murder? I mean, was McHale stealing from the shipments? I believe Reda thought McHale was an informant.
Because you do have an informant.
Yes, Detective Hudson, I do.
Otto Hart.
Be nice to him.
- Otto Hart? - Yeah.
That's a big dog.
Oh, he's friendly.
Yeah, sure.
They're friendly until they sense fear.
So, I'm just going to back up slowly now.
You want to do this in another room? Yeah, that'd be great.
Hey.
It's okay.
Stay.
I've got this.
I'll be back.
I should have just kept my mouth shut about all of this.
Instead, I go and get that guy killed.
No, you did the right thing coming forward.
Look, grab a seat.
Tell me what you know.
I started working for this guy Reda.
Just got my mechanic's certification, see.
So, then, Reda offers me some extra work.
Picking up sacks of coffee beans after hours.
Uh-huh.
So that's where you met McHale? - The murder victim? - Right.
Yeah, he'd hand off the bags to me.
I'd take them back to Reda at the garage.
Easy C-note, right? So one a month pretty regular for six months.
How did you figure out that diamonds were in the coffee? Curiosity got the better of me.
Last month, I do the pickup and pretend like I need to finish up a car.
But really, I'm just watching what Reda does with that bag.
Saw him cut the bag open and take out a smaller package.
Did you see what was inside? Not at first.
But then a guy comes by.
Looks at those pebbles with one of those like jewel binoculars like you see in the movies.
- A loupe.
- Sure.
Yeah, he had a look with the loupe thing.
Then gave Reda a bundle of cash and took the rocks.
Did Reda ask you to do another pickup that night? Yeah, I was supposed to but then just before the end of my shift, he came and said it was off.
Did he say he was going to do it himself? No, but I don't know who else but him would know about the pickup.
When did you bring this to Deputy Chief Tennant? Uh Like, a few days ago.
So, a couple of weeks after you saw Reda make the hand-off with the buyer? Yeah, it took me that long to decide what to do.
Like, would it be best if I just stay out of it completely? And why the Deputy Chief? She helped me out of a jam back in Edmonton one time.
I saw in the paper she's posted here now.
Look, listen, say Reda killed Sean thinking he's the informant, could I be next seeing that I'm really the one talking to police? Reda's not going to come after you if he thinks that he's plugged this leak - by getting rid of McHale.
- Only except he didn't.
Which he could realize.
Are you asking for witness protection, Otto? Oh, man.
So you do think he's going to come after me.
No, no.
I think it's too early in the investigation to No.
No witness protection.
We need to catch Reda in the act so we can put him away.
Otherwise you're going to be looking over your shoulder forever.
So Tennant wants a stakeout.
No, there's another way at this, Charlie.
You get a warrant.
Okay? A search of Reda's home and his work with Rex could turn up the gun that was used to kill McHale.
And what if it doesn't? Well, then, we get one of our people undercover at his warehouse.
Okay, well just like say we trust this informant.
Reda already has the diamonds from the warehouse.
Let's catch him and the buyer in the act.
If we shut down this operation, we get everything that we need to start a murder case against Reda.
It's your call.
- Okay.
- But I'm telling you right now, you're putting a lot of faith in DC Tennant's snitch.
I know.
So is she.
Thanks.
Based on recent events, we can assume he's dangerous.
The informant believes the diamond sale is going to happen tonight at Reda's garage.
Yeah.
Otto overheard a phone conversation with Reda making the arrangements.
He's going to be able to get cameras inside.
We need to make sure we have eyes outside as well.
You know what? I can coordinate that.
- Make sure you're not seen.
- No, we won't be.
Make sure you run a background on everyone - who comes in and out of that garage.
- Sure.
Dr.
Truong, based on your previous experience in the jewellery business perhaps you can help - line up potential buyers? - Absolutely.
Perfect.
Detective Hudson.
You will be in a car down the street with eyes on the garage.
I'll ride with Charlie and Rex.
You will run logistics from here.
Oh, uh I don't mind the company.
That's good to hear because I will be joining you myself.
Give us a chance to get to know each other better.
Great.
Rex.
Looks like Jesse's got the exterior camera set.
I did not bargain on the dog being here.
Yours is coming, okay? Rex is my partner.
I can't leave him behind.
We could be sitting here for hours doing nothing.
Yeah, Rex doesn't mind.
Do you, pal? Right? Whoah! Clean it up! Lovely.
So what you do in your spare time, Detective? Oh.
This.
Okay, Bô.
Yeah yeah.
Yeah, I've got your email.
I'm going to go over the articles.
No.
No no no, it's not.
It's not dangerous.
I'm calling you from my lab.
We just wanted a little bit of background information.
Okay! Yeah, yeah.
I will say hello to Charlie and Rex for you.
Oh.
We are just friends.
Mm-hmm.
Mmmmm.
Mmmmm.
I was home three months ago.
Dad.
You said that you were going to bring Má out here.
Uhhh Yes! My guest room is ready.
Okay.
Hmm.
Charlie.
Hey, Jesse.
Hey, I have visuals on both entrances but nothing on the inside just yet.
No, we thought it was just our feed in the car.
Let us know when it's up.
Copy that.
Maybe he's having trouble setting it up.
I could go in there, pretend to be a customer.
No, no need.
Otto will handle it.
I know he seems squirrelly but, don't underestimate him.
So, you know Otto well? Charlie, Otto's feed is live.
Good angle too.
If the diamond sale goes down in there, we'll catch it.
Well enough.
Apple? Yeah.
Conflict diamonds aren't that easy to get into the market.
There's a certification process to trace a stone's origins.
- Does that help us? - Well, I checked in with the national diamond registry to see if anyone had multiple complaints on their certification.
And you found someone who looks good as our buyer? Yes.
This is our best candidate.
Irwin Agashe.
Trinity Jewelers.
Down on Water Street.
He's been reported multiple times for falsifying certification.
Which means he may have a line on black market diamonds.
Exactly.
Okay, let's see if our man Otto can ID him.
- Okay, will do.
- Yeah.
Oh! - Hey.
- Hey! - I thought you might need this.
- Whoah! You read my mind.
Thank you.
Mmmm.
- You want that somewhere? - Mmm.
Sorry.
- Any action so far? - No.
Hey, are you bummed you didn't assigned van duty? Uh, maybe a little.
Well, if Donovan were running this, you would be.
Well, I suppose since it's her informant, - she wants to be here herself.
- Okay, sure.
But, I mean, does she have to be so disrespectful about it with Joe? It's probably how she learned to function in her job.
Well, you're not rude to people.
Give me that bag of chips.
Or I'll start with you.
Geek.
Thank you.
Charlie, the shop's empty.
Full head count.
Everyone who went in has gone out.
And it looks like the security system and alarms have been set.
Any news from Sarah about potential buyers? Hi, Charlie.
I'm here.
Dr.
Truong, you've joined us? Yeah, I wanted to let you know about a possible buyer.
I've got a candidate and wanted to see if Otto could recognize him.
Great, I'll tell him to head over to the station.
- Hey, Sarah.
- Yeah.
Any estimate on the value of these shipments? Mr.
Hart said that we are looking for a package the size of a cigar box.
Based on the size and quality of the stones, I'd say anywhere from fifty to a hundred fifty thousand dollars' - worth per shipment.
- Thank you, Dr.
Truong.
And Otto is on his way now - to meet you at the station.
- Okay.
Small operation.
Decent profit.
Curious how it escalated to murder.
You think that's surprising? Yeah, sure.
Even if the informant got Reda caught smuggling conflict diamonds, it's an excise and tax issue.
It's a fine.
Maybe it's a matter of pride with Reda.
Superintendant Donovan, what can I do for you? I'm just checking in.
Just seeing how things are going at your end.
We'll be sure to call you when we have something to report.
Terrific.
So, listen, I've got a friend at Border Security.
He may be able to provide some insight.
It's too soon for that.
We don't want too many cooks in the kitchen.
But I will keep that in mind.
Hi, Otto.
Thanks for coming.
Does this man look familiar to you? How did you find him? He's a local jeweler whose reputation fits.
- Is this the man you saw with Reda? - Yeah, that's him! That's the guy who was at the garage.
Do you think he's dangerous? He's has no record of violence.
I don't think you have to worry about him.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
I didn't figure you for a tattoo guy.
Mmmm.
Bathroom break.
Yeah sure, pal.
- Oh.
- Well, nature calls again.
We'll be back.
Come on, pal.
Come on, partner.
Well, I am glad to see you.
You're not enjoying the quality time with the Deputy Chief? Let's just say that it's a lot of hours in a row of being on my best behaviour.
How'd it go with the buyer? Otto picked him out.
Irwin Agashe.
I sent you a photo.
- Did you? - Yeah.
Let's hope he shows up soon.
Got it.
I think that might be Reda's car.
- Okay.
- Rex.
Oh, he's got company.
- We're on.
- Okay.
And there you go.
Well, that's odd.
There was just supposed to be one buyer.
We weren't expecting a crowd.
I don't think any of them is Agashe.
Maybe he sent an associate.
The diamonds.
Can you zoom in? Yeah.
That's not diamonds.
No.
No, it's um Uh, Middle Eastern checkers.
Hey, Charlie.
I think that's dama.
Yeah, we see that.
This isn't a diamond exchange.
This is after hours gambling.
Well, maybe it's both.
Let's put our theory to the test.
- What are you doing? - You'll see.
Okay, come on, pal.
Rex.
Okay.
Here.
Go in there nice and easy.
Try and make friends.
Track it.
Oh, we've got company, boys.
What is he doing? He's tracking the scent of coffee beans.
If any one of the men in that garage have been in contact with the smuggled diamonds, Rex will sniff it out.
Where'd you come from buddy? You've got strays in the neighbourhood, Reda? What are you, an idiot? That's no stray.
Look at the coat on him.
What's he doing here then? You should have cleared this with me first, Detective.
Rex could raise suspicion or lead Reda right to us.
Rex knows better than that.
Well, that remains to be seen.
That's interesting.
Hmmm.
Ah.
Nothing for you in there, pooch.
Ah, come here, kalb.
I know what you're looking for.
Watch this.
He'll come running when I open this up! Here you go, boy! Come on! He smells my wife's hawawshi.
Green coffee beans like the ones around McHale's body have a very distinctive smell.
If Rex recognized it on any of those men, - he would have alerted me.
- What does that prove? That we can be fairly certain that nobody in that garage tonight has been in contact with the stolen diamonds.
What if Reda wears expensive cologne? - That could cover the smell.
- No, it doesn't work that way.
I'm curious what he found so interesting in that cabinet.
My wife's hawawshi! They come from miles around! No one can resist! Well, we'll have probable cause to search it once we witness the diamond exchange.
Come on, pal.
Good job.
Okay, I have successfully put names to the faces of everyone playing here tonight.
Anyone pop for you? There's no real obvious criminal profile of any one of them.
Maybe Reda has a new buyer.
Can you send me over their files, Constable? Okay, I'm sending now.
There's a few candidates here.
Yeah, I'd be more convinced if Rex had shown any interest in Reda.
Let's be patient, Detective.
Maybe the exchange is going to happen once the game is over.
Uhh Yeah.
On the QT.
Okay.
What's up? Well, Charlie wants me to do a background check on Otto Hart.
I wonder what he's thinking.
Well, nothing about Otto's information is holding up.
I guess Charlie's wondering why.
Actually, I'm surprised you didn't do that already.
Do a background check on the deputy chief's source? No.
No, my luck is she'd catch me at it.
That would be your luck.
And I would actually like to keep my head attached to my body.
So, that would be Yeah, he has no record.
Looks like he was briefly enrolled at the University of Alberta but dropped out.
Oh, they're winding up the game in there.
- Okay, let me check his personal life.
- Ah, it's getting late.
I'm going to need another coffee if this buyer doesn't show soon.
Wait a minute.
Whoah whoah! Look at this! What's up? The fact is that if Reda had been in that warehouse with McHale and cut the diamonds out of that coffee bag or if the diamonds were in the garage tonight, - Rex would know it.
- I will not alter my entire investigation on the basis of your dog's nose.
You've seen our record before.
Haven't you? Yeah.
You understand that Rex's nose has helped solve pretty much every case that Major Crimes has closed since we partnered up? Good night, boys.
There is no diamond sale going on here tonight.
Hey, Jesse.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
You've had a personal connection to this case from the start.
What are you talking about, Detective? Otto Hart is your nephew.
I don't know how you could defend this.
You lied about your informant being family.
I couldn't risk Reda finding out Otto had a family member on the force.
Especially after a man was killed.
My team knows how to be discreet.
I know you have a good reputation.
Oh, yet, you still coached your informant to lie to us.
He said he met you in Edmonton.
I did help him out with a problem in Edmonton.
Fine.
Look, I I needed to make sure Major Crimes took my opinion on this case seriously.
How are we supposed to take your opinion now that you've been caught lying? Watch your tone.
I'm still your superior officer.
Do you want my subordination or do you want my trust? I want you to understand that I was trying to protect Otto.
His mother died a few years ago.
My sister.
And um how would I live with myself if I let something happen to her child? If you'd just told us the truth, the team would have protected you and Otto both.
All right.
Well, I take it you and Otto are close.
My brother-in-law owns a small airfield outside of Spaniard's Bay.
Otto hated flying.
I spent an entire visit helping him get over his fear.
Turns out he loves flying.
I think he was just happy he was able to look good for his father.
What? Otto Hart and DC Tennant are related? - Yeah.
- No.
Forget about a conflict of interest Charlie.
She knowingly jeopardized the case! I mean is it that bad? You're not skeptical about this? About his information? Yeah, but Hold on.
The moment this escalated for murder, she had an obligation to tell us about her relationship to an informant.
She was doing what she thought was best for her family.
Tell me you wouldn't do the same.
No more stakeout for you and the deputy chief? No, I've got to meet her back there.
Oh, she's persistent.
You've got to give her that.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Here's something interesting from the autopsy.
McHale had old wounds which means that he'd been shot on more than one occasion.
- Huh? - Look at this.
His fingerprints were burned off.
Sounds like a criminal past.
I'm guessing McHale is an assumed identity.
Hey, Joe.
Sorry.
Sarah found something.
I'm now thinking that McHale is a bad guy.
It's possible he might be our smuggler.
Wait a second.
You think that Reda's maybe not involved at all? That makes Otto a liar.
Otto identified the buyer that met with Reda.
- Right.
- So if we make contact with this buyer, he can tell us if Otto's story is true or not.
We'll probably get some leverage to make him talk.
I have an idea about that.
I'm going to pay Mr.
Agashe a visit this morning.
Good taste.
You've got good taste.
Hi, may I help you? Yeah.
It's my mother's birthday coming up.
- Diamonds are her favourite.
- Oh, we have a beautiful selection - that Mom will absolutely treasure.
- Everything is gorgeous.
Um They're all ethical diamonds? Yes, of course.
Our stones are carefully sourced for your peace of mind.
Perfect.
I was thinking something along the lines of a bracelet.
Great choice.
Stay right there.
Okay.
Jesse, until we hear otherwise, keep the cameras recording in the garage.
All right.
Can do.
Is that a seagull? Oh, come on! Seagull pooping on my camera? Oh, that is just gross! Hey! Hey! You! What are you doing out here? What are you doing here? Well Who are you? Richard.
Harry, actually.
Harry Richards.
Electrician.
Electrician Harry.
- What's taking you so long out here? - Transponders.
- In the area.
- Uh-huh.
I know this dog too.
How long have you been watching me? - Calm down sir.
- Calm down? You are all so arrogant even when you've been busted.
PIs.
Private investigators? We are, yeah.
That's correct.
Whatever my wife told you, that woman meant nothing to me.
Even better.
Whatever my wife's paying you, I'll pay you double.
You tell her you saw nothing.
What do you think, Terry? Your mom is going to get years of joy - with this generous gift.
- Thank you.
It really is a symbol of mother/daughter love.
Oh and you've got the certificate of origin? I do.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Here we are.
- Yeah.
Government-certified.
- Mm hmm.
- From Yellowknife.
- Except their certification includes a seal on the top from the commissioner.
On the top right corner.
Here, I'll show you.
Right there.
- See that? - Right.
- So - Well And that mine's serial number starts with 072, not 073.
So as far as fakes go, this is a bit sloppy, Mr.
Agashe.
Um if you're dissatisfied with your purchase, I could process the refund immediately.
There's going to be a refund.
But first, I actually want to know where you've been getting your diamonds from.
Well, from where I'm standing, you were made.
Up to a point.
This is why you don't bring a dog on stakeout.
First, you take him in there.
Then you're taking him to pee every 30 minutes.
It's no wonder he spotted you.
You know what? I'm going to stop you there, because this isn't Rex's fault.
And Reda didn't make us for cops.
He thought we were PI's hired by his wife to catch him and his mistress.
It means that he's not worried about cops.
He has nothing to do with this.
Otto's information is useless at best.
Well, maybe the mistress is a misdirect.
I am telling you, Reda has been nowhere near those diamonds.
We've lost our chance to catch the exchange.
So we're going to have to get a warrant to search the garage.
We don't need a warrant.
Rex.
Come on.
Mr.
Agashe, I know that you faked the certification on those diamonds you sold me.
Okay, this must be a mistake.
Do you mind taking it over there? Hi.
Welcome.
Do you mind keeping your voice down? I wouldn't want to accuse you of defamation.
Well, there is no mistake and it's not defamation if I can prove it's true.
Who have you been getting your diamonds from? A variety of sources.
Including this man? No, I've never seen him before.
You didn't go to his garage to buy diamonds from Sierra Leone? - Sierra Leone? - Yes.
Yes, I've purchased stones from over there before, but, from one man and not him.
Okay, so who is your source for African diamonds? - I couldn't give you his name.
- Describe him.
Broad shoulders.
Brown hair.
Friendly.
Is this him? Oh my God.
What happened to Sean? - What now? - Good news is we don't work for your wife.
Bad news is we're cops.
- All these cars are legit.
- We're not looking for stolen cars.
Yeah, but we would like to have a look around your garage.
I told you.
I run a legitimate business.
See for yourself.
Thank you.
All right, partner.
I thought you might come over here, pal.
Gotcha, pal.
Yeah, I see it.
That's a thirty-eight.
Just like the murder weapon.
That's not mine.
Hey, where are we with Reda? Um, Tennant has Reda in the interrogation room now.
What's he got to say for himself? Doesn't know where the gun came from.
Denies knowing Sean McHale.
Has never seen any raw diamonds.
- And do we believe him? - Well, he consented to a search pretty quick for somebody who knew that they were hiding a murder weapon.
Did we ever confirm anything about Reda's connections to Sierra Leone? - No.
- Okay.
Because Agashe pointed out Sean McHale as the source of the diamonds.
So, I'm more convinced than ever that the smuggler we're looking for is our murder victim.
- Is that even plausible? - Yeah.
Uh, you actually beat me to that.
I got a hit on the facial recognition database to McHale.
It matched to a former soldier.
Here we go.
This is Sean Leary.
He was posted in Sierra Leone when the Canadian Armed Forces responded to the Ebola outbreak there.
- Sean McHale is Sean Leary.
- Yeah.
He was brought up on disciplinary charges but went AWOL before he could answer to them.
It's safe to assume that he made a few friends in the diamond trade.
If it isn't Reda, Otto was the only one left in the garage.
I mean, does anyone else feel like he planted that gun - to frame his boss? - Yeah.
But wait a minute.
If Otto killed McHale and stole the diamonds, Rex would have smelled coffee on him.
Yeah sure.
They're friendly until they sense fear.
That's a big dog.
- Do you want to do this in another room? - Yeah, that'd be great.
No, because they didn't spend any time together because Otto said that he was scared of dogs.
Well, that explains that.
But then, what exactly did he bring Tennant in for? Wouldn't he avoid the police? Well, say he knew about the diamonds but not who the buyer was.
That's his angle.
Oldest trick in the snitch playbook.
And I'm the one who told him Agashe buys black market diamonds.
Ah, and we played right into his hands.
Oh, it's Agashe.
Oh, guys.
Otto made contact.
He wants to meet after the store closes.
- That's an hour.
- Do we tell Tennant? No, Charlie.
We don't want her to tip Otto off even inadvertently.
Detective Hudson will watch the cameras in here.
And I'm going to watch the feed from outside.
Okay.
So, well hold on.
This it's It's it's there it is.
See, it's itchy.
It's itchy.
I knew it was going to The person you're after, he's not going to see - Is he gonna see it? - No, he's not gonna see it.
- You'll be fine, Mr.
Agashe.
- Okay, great.
- You're good? - Yeah, good.
Just try and act natural Mr.
Agashe.
Everything is fine.
Just follow your regular routine that you did with the other exchanges.
I'll show you what I do.
Excuse me.
So, here's what would happen.
I would examine the diamonds, bahbahbah, and then I would take the money.
And then I would hand it to McHale.
That's like the usual - you know.
- Do that.
- Right.
So hey.
So one sec.
Um - Yeah.
I'm going to get the money back.
- Uh-huh.
- Right? Right? And the particulars of my business, are, you know, - out of the scope of your investigation.
- Everything's going to be fine, - Mr.
Agashe.
I promise.
- Right.
Rex and I are right here.
We're steps away.
- Okay? - Right.
Good boy.
You got this.
CCTV is up.
He's here.
Like I said, he was called away.
- Okay.
- He asked me to handle this for you.
Didn't want to keep you waiting.
Okay.
That security camera.
I turned it off.
This isn't the kind of business I like to, do in front of a camera.
All right.
Where's the money? Well, I'd like to inspect the stones first, if you don't mind.
Right, right.
Sure.
Beautiful.
As usual.
Please pass that message on to Sean.
Yeah, I'll tell him.
Okay.
Seventy-five thousand.
As discussed.
Great.
Okay come on, man.
We're heading in.
Rex, let's go.
Ughh! Uhh! You're under arrest, Otto.
You've arrested Otto? Excuse me.
Come with me.
He admitted to killing McHale, so he could steal the diamonds.
He wouldn't do that.
He must have confessed because he was scared.
We have him on tape.
You should talk to him.
Adele.
This isn't right.
You've got to help me.
- Why would you do this? - McHale was just a criminal.
You killed him.
For for what? The money? Yeah, I thought the money would be nice, okay? Are you going to get me out of this? - Take him to the cell.
- Adele! Adele! Come on! No, no, no! I mean, I don't know how she keeps her job after this.
Well, the chief will have a quiet word with her and that'll be it.
Well, at least maybe she'll go easier on you.
She has asked for my report to be on her desk first thing in the morning.
She is stone cold.
I'll tell you that.
Well, she can't be entirely cold.
She put a lot on the line for somebody she cared about.
Yeah, well - Hey.
- Hi.
Hello.
Can I get a beer? I was planning on drinking alone but I guess I should have picked a bar further from the station.
You want me to leave? No.
Uh Actually, I was going to thank you.
If it hadn't been for Major Crimes, Otto would have gotten away with it.
Yeah, look.
I'm sorry how things turned out.
You don't need to apologize.
You tried to warn me.
Being a cop doesn't change how you feel about your family.
You were being loyal to Otto.
- Biggest mistake of my career.
- Yeah, who knows? Better to make a mistake in the name of love than to not love at all.
Do you have room for one more? If my partner says it's okay.
Come on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hey.
Uh I just wanted to say I'm sorry I underestimated the value of Rex to the team.
Yeah, maybe you should tell him that.
This might help.
Uh Rex.
I'm sorry I wasn't very kind to you.
Friends? You did a really great job.
There you go.
Rex believes in second chances.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Next time on Hudson & Rex Some of the country's bravest citizens will be honoured here at the annual Hall of Heroes Ceremony.
CSIS just reported some online chatter.
They're on alert for possible threats, whatever that means.
We've done a full sweep of the premises and there's no sign of anything amiss.
He's got a plan, we have to figure out what it is.
OK, look.
We'll do it together Will that make us a team now? Yes.
Bomb on the premises! Everybody out! Rex? Rex!
Look, I can't let her be telling me what to do, can I? Oh, get over yourself.
What do you love more? Her? Or that rat's nest on your chin? All right, no need of that now.
- Hey, you got the coffee shipment today? - Yeah.
How's your back feeling? You want to trade? I've got the packing station.
Thanks, bud.
Appreciate it.
Lord thunderin' ! What have you got? Oh, good find, Rex.
- Stray shot? - The victim had entry and exit wounds.
But judging by that blood, I think we've got our bullet.
- Hmm.
- .
38 calibre.
Guys, the warehouse manager gave me the time clock data from yesterday.
McHale clocked out a few minutes after 6:00.
Really? Sarah said that time of death was a couple hours after that.
Yeah, but apparently he had keys to the place.
I wonder why he came back.
Jesse, what do we know about the guy? Well, Sean McHale.
Come from away.
Came to St.
John's two years ago.
But you know, I'm not sure from where but he lives out on Topsail.
He's the only owner listed on his house.
- Okay.
- No woman I know of.
Nor family.
Anyone around here have anything against him? Sean b'y.
Made friends everywhere he went.
Thank you.
Yeah, I see it.
It's like somebody was looking for something in there.
These edges are straight.
Someone used a knife to open it.
Uncut diamonds? Everyone's best friend except for his.
- So the dead employee's name is - Sean McHale.
How do you know? Contraband uncut conflict diamonds are being smuggled into St.
John's in coffee shipments - from Sierra Leone.
- I ran some tests.
And that might explain this.
We found it near the body.
Ten carats at least.
The clarity and colour are definitely gem quality.
My father was a jeweler.
I used to help out at his shop.
Very good.
When we find the rest of the diamonds, this will help tie the killer to the scene.
So you believe our victim was a diamond smuggler who was murdered for the goods? McHale wasn't a smuggler.
He was the inside man who worked in the warehouse.
His job was to ID the bags containing diamonds - and hand them off to the courier.
- A low-level player.
Yes.
McHale was doing the hand-offs for months without incident until last night.
I suspect he was killed by the man he was working for, the head of the operation: Hanif Reda.
Okay, so who is this Hanif Reda and why have we never heard of him? Well, you're hearing about him now.
Here we go.
Hanif Reda owns a garage in Georgetown.
It's a pretty small operation but judging by his social media, it seems that he and his family live large.
I think you mean beyond his means, Constable Mills.
- Yes, ma'am.
- But you raise an interesting point.
Reda has an income stream that is not on the books.
Oh, so you think his garage is a front for a diamond smuggling operation? - Exactly.
- But how did this lead to murder? I mean, was McHale stealing from the shipments? I believe Reda thought McHale was an informant.
Because you do have an informant.
Yes, Detective Hudson, I do.
Otto Hart.
Be nice to him.
- Otto Hart? - Yeah.
That's a big dog.
Oh, he's friendly.
Yeah, sure.
They're friendly until they sense fear.
So, I'm just going to back up slowly now.
You want to do this in another room? Yeah, that'd be great.
Hey.
It's okay.
Stay.
I've got this.
I'll be back.
I should have just kept my mouth shut about all of this.
Instead, I go and get that guy killed.
No, you did the right thing coming forward.
Look, grab a seat.
Tell me what you know.
I started working for this guy Reda.
Just got my mechanic's certification, see.
So, then, Reda offers me some extra work.
Picking up sacks of coffee beans after hours.
Uh-huh.
So that's where you met McHale? - The murder victim? - Right.
Yeah, he'd hand off the bags to me.
I'd take them back to Reda at the garage.
Easy C-note, right? So one a month pretty regular for six months.
How did you figure out that diamonds were in the coffee? Curiosity got the better of me.
Last month, I do the pickup and pretend like I need to finish up a car.
But really, I'm just watching what Reda does with that bag.
Saw him cut the bag open and take out a smaller package.
Did you see what was inside? Not at first.
But then a guy comes by.
Looks at those pebbles with one of those like jewel binoculars like you see in the movies.
- A loupe.
- Sure.
Yeah, he had a look with the loupe thing.
Then gave Reda a bundle of cash and took the rocks.
Did Reda ask you to do another pickup that night? Yeah, I was supposed to but then just before the end of my shift, he came and said it was off.
Did he say he was going to do it himself? No, but I don't know who else but him would know about the pickup.
When did you bring this to Deputy Chief Tennant? Uh Like, a few days ago.
So, a couple of weeks after you saw Reda make the hand-off with the buyer? Yeah, it took me that long to decide what to do.
Like, would it be best if I just stay out of it completely? And why the Deputy Chief? She helped me out of a jam back in Edmonton one time.
I saw in the paper she's posted here now.
Look, listen, say Reda killed Sean thinking he's the informant, could I be next seeing that I'm really the one talking to police? Reda's not going to come after you if he thinks that he's plugged this leak - by getting rid of McHale.
- Only except he didn't.
Which he could realize.
Are you asking for witness protection, Otto? Oh, man.
So you do think he's going to come after me.
No, no.
I think it's too early in the investigation to No.
No witness protection.
We need to catch Reda in the act so we can put him away.
Otherwise you're going to be looking over your shoulder forever.
So Tennant wants a stakeout.
No, there's another way at this, Charlie.
You get a warrant.
Okay? A search of Reda's home and his work with Rex could turn up the gun that was used to kill McHale.
And what if it doesn't? Well, then, we get one of our people undercover at his warehouse.
Okay, well just like say we trust this informant.
Reda already has the diamonds from the warehouse.
Let's catch him and the buyer in the act.
If we shut down this operation, we get everything that we need to start a murder case against Reda.
It's your call.
- Okay.
- But I'm telling you right now, you're putting a lot of faith in DC Tennant's snitch.
I know.
So is she.
Thanks.
Based on recent events, we can assume he's dangerous.
The informant believes the diamond sale is going to happen tonight at Reda's garage.
Yeah.
Otto overheard a phone conversation with Reda making the arrangements.
He's going to be able to get cameras inside.
We need to make sure we have eyes outside as well.
You know what? I can coordinate that.
- Make sure you're not seen.
- No, we won't be.
Make sure you run a background on everyone - who comes in and out of that garage.
- Sure.
Dr.
Truong, based on your previous experience in the jewellery business perhaps you can help - line up potential buyers? - Absolutely.
Perfect.
Detective Hudson.
You will be in a car down the street with eyes on the garage.
I'll ride with Charlie and Rex.
You will run logistics from here.
Oh, uh I don't mind the company.
That's good to hear because I will be joining you myself.
Give us a chance to get to know each other better.
Great.
Rex.
Looks like Jesse's got the exterior camera set.
I did not bargain on the dog being here.
Yours is coming, okay? Rex is my partner.
I can't leave him behind.
We could be sitting here for hours doing nothing.
Yeah, Rex doesn't mind.
Do you, pal? Right? Whoah! Clean it up! Lovely.
So what you do in your spare time, Detective? Oh.
This.
Okay, Bô.
Yeah yeah.
Yeah, I've got your email.
I'm going to go over the articles.
No.
No no no, it's not.
It's not dangerous.
I'm calling you from my lab.
We just wanted a little bit of background information.
Okay! Yeah, yeah.
I will say hello to Charlie and Rex for you.
Oh.
We are just friends.
Mm-hmm.
Mmmmm.
Mmmmm.
I was home three months ago.
Dad.
You said that you were going to bring Má out here.
Uhhh Yes! My guest room is ready.
Okay.
Hmm.
Charlie.
Hey, Jesse.
Hey, I have visuals on both entrances but nothing on the inside just yet.
No, we thought it was just our feed in the car.
Let us know when it's up.
Copy that.
Maybe he's having trouble setting it up.
I could go in there, pretend to be a customer.
No, no need.
Otto will handle it.
I know he seems squirrelly but, don't underestimate him.
So, you know Otto well? Charlie, Otto's feed is live.
Good angle too.
If the diamond sale goes down in there, we'll catch it.
Well enough.
Apple? Yeah.
Conflict diamonds aren't that easy to get into the market.
There's a certification process to trace a stone's origins.
- Does that help us? - Well, I checked in with the national diamond registry to see if anyone had multiple complaints on their certification.
And you found someone who looks good as our buyer? Yes.
This is our best candidate.
Irwin Agashe.
Trinity Jewelers.
Down on Water Street.
He's been reported multiple times for falsifying certification.
Which means he may have a line on black market diamonds.
Exactly.
Okay, let's see if our man Otto can ID him.
- Okay, will do.
- Yeah.
Oh! - Hey.
- Hey! - I thought you might need this.
- Whoah! You read my mind.
Thank you.
Mmmm.
- You want that somewhere? - Mmm.
Sorry.
- Any action so far? - No.
Hey, are you bummed you didn't assigned van duty? Uh, maybe a little.
Well, if Donovan were running this, you would be.
Well, I suppose since it's her informant, - she wants to be here herself.
- Okay, sure.
But, I mean, does she have to be so disrespectful about it with Joe? It's probably how she learned to function in her job.
Well, you're not rude to people.
Give me that bag of chips.
Or I'll start with you.
Geek.
Thank you.
Charlie, the shop's empty.
Full head count.
Everyone who went in has gone out.
And it looks like the security system and alarms have been set.
Any news from Sarah about potential buyers? Hi, Charlie.
I'm here.
Dr.
Truong, you've joined us? Yeah, I wanted to let you know about a possible buyer.
I've got a candidate and wanted to see if Otto could recognize him.
Great, I'll tell him to head over to the station.
- Hey, Sarah.
- Yeah.
Any estimate on the value of these shipments? Mr.
Hart said that we are looking for a package the size of a cigar box.
Based on the size and quality of the stones, I'd say anywhere from fifty to a hundred fifty thousand dollars' - worth per shipment.
- Thank you, Dr.
Truong.
And Otto is on his way now - to meet you at the station.
- Okay.
Small operation.
Decent profit.
Curious how it escalated to murder.
You think that's surprising? Yeah, sure.
Even if the informant got Reda caught smuggling conflict diamonds, it's an excise and tax issue.
It's a fine.
Maybe it's a matter of pride with Reda.
Superintendant Donovan, what can I do for you? I'm just checking in.
Just seeing how things are going at your end.
We'll be sure to call you when we have something to report.
Terrific.
So, listen, I've got a friend at Border Security.
He may be able to provide some insight.
It's too soon for that.
We don't want too many cooks in the kitchen.
But I will keep that in mind.
Hi, Otto.
Thanks for coming.
Does this man look familiar to you? How did you find him? He's a local jeweler whose reputation fits.
- Is this the man you saw with Reda? - Yeah, that's him! That's the guy who was at the garage.
Do you think he's dangerous? He's has no record of violence.
I don't think you have to worry about him.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
I didn't figure you for a tattoo guy.
Mmmm.
Bathroom break.
Yeah sure, pal.
- Oh.
- Well, nature calls again.
We'll be back.
Come on, pal.
Come on, partner.
Well, I am glad to see you.
You're not enjoying the quality time with the Deputy Chief? Let's just say that it's a lot of hours in a row of being on my best behaviour.
How'd it go with the buyer? Otto picked him out.
Irwin Agashe.
I sent you a photo.
- Did you? - Yeah.
Let's hope he shows up soon.
Got it.
I think that might be Reda's car.
- Okay.
- Rex.
Oh, he's got company.
- We're on.
- Okay.
And there you go.
Well, that's odd.
There was just supposed to be one buyer.
We weren't expecting a crowd.
I don't think any of them is Agashe.
Maybe he sent an associate.
The diamonds.
Can you zoom in? Yeah.
That's not diamonds.
No.
No, it's um Uh, Middle Eastern checkers.
Hey, Charlie.
I think that's dama.
Yeah, we see that.
This isn't a diamond exchange.
This is after hours gambling.
Well, maybe it's both.
Let's put our theory to the test.
- What are you doing? - You'll see.
Okay, come on, pal.
Rex.
Okay.
Here.
Go in there nice and easy.
Try and make friends.
Track it.
Oh, we've got company, boys.
What is he doing? He's tracking the scent of coffee beans.
If any one of the men in that garage have been in contact with the smuggled diamonds, Rex will sniff it out.
Where'd you come from buddy? You've got strays in the neighbourhood, Reda? What are you, an idiot? That's no stray.
Look at the coat on him.
What's he doing here then? You should have cleared this with me first, Detective.
Rex could raise suspicion or lead Reda right to us.
Rex knows better than that.
Well, that remains to be seen.
That's interesting.
Hmmm.
Ah.
Nothing for you in there, pooch.
Ah, come here, kalb.
I know what you're looking for.
Watch this.
He'll come running when I open this up! Here you go, boy! Come on! He smells my wife's hawawshi.
Green coffee beans like the ones around McHale's body have a very distinctive smell.
If Rex recognized it on any of those men, - he would have alerted me.
- What does that prove? That we can be fairly certain that nobody in that garage tonight has been in contact with the stolen diamonds.
What if Reda wears expensive cologne? - That could cover the smell.
- No, it doesn't work that way.
I'm curious what he found so interesting in that cabinet.
My wife's hawawshi! They come from miles around! No one can resist! Well, we'll have probable cause to search it once we witness the diamond exchange.
Come on, pal.
Good job.
Okay, I have successfully put names to the faces of everyone playing here tonight.
Anyone pop for you? There's no real obvious criminal profile of any one of them.
Maybe Reda has a new buyer.
Can you send me over their files, Constable? Okay, I'm sending now.
There's a few candidates here.
Yeah, I'd be more convinced if Rex had shown any interest in Reda.
Let's be patient, Detective.
Maybe the exchange is going to happen once the game is over.
Uhh Yeah.
On the QT.
Okay.
What's up? Well, Charlie wants me to do a background check on Otto Hart.
I wonder what he's thinking.
Well, nothing about Otto's information is holding up.
I guess Charlie's wondering why.
Actually, I'm surprised you didn't do that already.
Do a background check on the deputy chief's source? No.
No, my luck is she'd catch me at it.
That would be your luck.
And I would actually like to keep my head attached to my body.
So, that would be Yeah, he has no record.
Looks like he was briefly enrolled at the University of Alberta but dropped out.
Oh, they're winding up the game in there.
- Okay, let me check his personal life.
- Ah, it's getting late.
I'm going to need another coffee if this buyer doesn't show soon.
Wait a minute.
Whoah whoah! Look at this! What's up? The fact is that if Reda had been in that warehouse with McHale and cut the diamonds out of that coffee bag or if the diamonds were in the garage tonight, - Rex would know it.
- I will not alter my entire investigation on the basis of your dog's nose.
You've seen our record before.
Haven't you? Yeah.
You understand that Rex's nose has helped solve pretty much every case that Major Crimes has closed since we partnered up? Good night, boys.
There is no diamond sale going on here tonight.
Hey, Jesse.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
You've had a personal connection to this case from the start.
What are you talking about, Detective? Otto Hart is your nephew.
I don't know how you could defend this.
You lied about your informant being family.
I couldn't risk Reda finding out Otto had a family member on the force.
Especially after a man was killed.
My team knows how to be discreet.
I know you have a good reputation.
Oh, yet, you still coached your informant to lie to us.
He said he met you in Edmonton.
I did help him out with a problem in Edmonton.
Fine.
Look, I I needed to make sure Major Crimes took my opinion on this case seriously.
How are we supposed to take your opinion now that you've been caught lying? Watch your tone.
I'm still your superior officer.
Do you want my subordination or do you want my trust? I want you to understand that I was trying to protect Otto.
His mother died a few years ago.
My sister.
And um how would I live with myself if I let something happen to her child? If you'd just told us the truth, the team would have protected you and Otto both.
All right.
Well, I take it you and Otto are close.
My brother-in-law owns a small airfield outside of Spaniard's Bay.
Otto hated flying.
I spent an entire visit helping him get over his fear.
Turns out he loves flying.
I think he was just happy he was able to look good for his father.
What? Otto Hart and DC Tennant are related? - Yeah.
- No.
Forget about a conflict of interest Charlie.
She knowingly jeopardized the case! I mean is it that bad? You're not skeptical about this? About his information? Yeah, but Hold on.
The moment this escalated for murder, she had an obligation to tell us about her relationship to an informant.
She was doing what she thought was best for her family.
Tell me you wouldn't do the same.
No more stakeout for you and the deputy chief? No, I've got to meet her back there.
Oh, she's persistent.
You've got to give her that.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Here's something interesting from the autopsy.
McHale had old wounds which means that he'd been shot on more than one occasion.
- Huh? - Look at this.
His fingerprints were burned off.
Sounds like a criminal past.
I'm guessing McHale is an assumed identity.
Hey, Joe.
Sorry.
Sarah found something.
I'm now thinking that McHale is a bad guy.
It's possible he might be our smuggler.
Wait a second.
You think that Reda's maybe not involved at all? That makes Otto a liar.
Otto identified the buyer that met with Reda.
- Right.
- So if we make contact with this buyer, he can tell us if Otto's story is true or not.
We'll probably get some leverage to make him talk.
I have an idea about that.
I'm going to pay Mr.
Agashe a visit this morning.
Good taste.
You've got good taste.
Hi, may I help you? Yeah.
It's my mother's birthday coming up.
- Diamonds are her favourite.
- Oh, we have a beautiful selection - that Mom will absolutely treasure.
- Everything is gorgeous.
Um They're all ethical diamonds? Yes, of course.
Our stones are carefully sourced for your peace of mind.
Perfect.
I was thinking something along the lines of a bracelet.
Great choice.
Stay right there.
Okay.
Jesse, until we hear otherwise, keep the cameras recording in the garage.
All right.
Can do.
Is that a seagull? Oh, come on! Seagull pooping on my camera? Oh, that is just gross! Hey! Hey! You! What are you doing out here? What are you doing here? Well Who are you? Richard.
Harry, actually.
Harry Richards.
Electrician.
Electrician Harry.
- What's taking you so long out here? - Transponders.
- In the area.
- Uh-huh.
I know this dog too.
How long have you been watching me? - Calm down sir.
- Calm down? You are all so arrogant even when you've been busted.
PIs.
Private investigators? We are, yeah.
That's correct.
Whatever my wife told you, that woman meant nothing to me.
Even better.
Whatever my wife's paying you, I'll pay you double.
You tell her you saw nothing.
What do you think, Terry? Your mom is going to get years of joy - with this generous gift.
- Thank you.
It really is a symbol of mother/daughter love.
Oh and you've got the certificate of origin? I do.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Here we are.
- Yeah.
Government-certified.
- Mm hmm.
- From Yellowknife.
- Except their certification includes a seal on the top from the commissioner.
On the top right corner.
Here, I'll show you.
Right there.
- See that? - Right.
- So - Well And that mine's serial number starts with 072, not 073.
So as far as fakes go, this is a bit sloppy, Mr.
Agashe.
Um if you're dissatisfied with your purchase, I could process the refund immediately.
There's going to be a refund.
But first, I actually want to know where you've been getting your diamonds from.
Well, from where I'm standing, you were made.
Up to a point.
This is why you don't bring a dog on stakeout.
First, you take him in there.
Then you're taking him to pee every 30 minutes.
It's no wonder he spotted you.
You know what? I'm going to stop you there, because this isn't Rex's fault.
And Reda didn't make us for cops.
He thought we were PI's hired by his wife to catch him and his mistress.
It means that he's not worried about cops.
He has nothing to do with this.
Otto's information is useless at best.
Well, maybe the mistress is a misdirect.
I am telling you, Reda has been nowhere near those diamonds.
We've lost our chance to catch the exchange.
So we're going to have to get a warrant to search the garage.
We don't need a warrant.
Rex.
Come on.
Mr.
Agashe, I know that you faked the certification on those diamonds you sold me.
Okay, this must be a mistake.
Do you mind taking it over there? Hi.
Welcome.
Do you mind keeping your voice down? I wouldn't want to accuse you of defamation.
Well, there is no mistake and it's not defamation if I can prove it's true.
Who have you been getting your diamonds from? A variety of sources.
Including this man? No, I've never seen him before.
You didn't go to his garage to buy diamonds from Sierra Leone? - Sierra Leone? - Yes.
Yes, I've purchased stones from over there before, but, from one man and not him.
Okay, so who is your source for African diamonds? - I couldn't give you his name.
- Describe him.
Broad shoulders.
Brown hair.
Friendly.
Is this him? Oh my God.
What happened to Sean? - What now? - Good news is we don't work for your wife.
Bad news is we're cops.
- All these cars are legit.
- We're not looking for stolen cars.
Yeah, but we would like to have a look around your garage.
I told you.
I run a legitimate business.
See for yourself.
Thank you.
All right, partner.
I thought you might come over here, pal.
Gotcha, pal.
Yeah, I see it.
That's a thirty-eight.
Just like the murder weapon.
That's not mine.
Hey, where are we with Reda? Um, Tennant has Reda in the interrogation room now.
What's he got to say for himself? Doesn't know where the gun came from.
Denies knowing Sean McHale.
Has never seen any raw diamonds.
- And do we believe him? - Well, he consented to a search pretty quick for somebody who knew that they were hiding a murder weapon.
Did we ever confirm anything about Reda's connections to Sierra Leone? - No.
- Okay.
Because Agashe pointed out Sean McHale as the source of the diamonds.
So, I'm more convinced than ever that the smuggler we're looking for is our murder victim.
- Is that even plausible? - Yeah.
Uh, you actually beat me to that.
I got a hit on the facial recognition database to McHale.
It matched to a former soldier.
Here we go.
This is Sean Leary.
He was posted in Sierra Leone when the Canadian Armed Forces responded to the Ebola outbreak there.
- Sean McHale is Sean Leary.
- Yeah.
He was brought up on disciplinary charges but went AWOL before he could answer to them.
It's safe to assume that he made a few friends in the diamond trade.
If it isn't Reda, Otto was the only one left in the garage.
I mean, does anyone else feel like he planted that gun - to frame his boss? - Yeah.
But wait a minute.
If Otto killed McHale and stole the diamonds, Rex would have smelled coffee on him.
Yeah sure.
They're friendly until they sense fear.
That's a big dog.
- Do you want to do this in another room? - Yeah, that'd be great.
No, because they didn't spend any time together because Otto said that he was scared of dogs.
Well, that explains that.
But then, what exactly did he bring Tennant in for? Wouldn't he avoid the police? Well, say he knew about the diamonds but not who the buyer was.
That's his angle.
Oldest trick in the snitch playbook.
And I'm the one who told him Agashe buys black market diamonds.
Ah, and we played right into his hands.
Oh, it's Agashe.
Oh, guys.
Otto made contact.
He wants to meet after the store closes.
- That's an hour.
- Do we tell Tennant? No, Charlie.
We don't want her to tip Otto off even inadvertently.
Detective Hudson will watch the cameras in here.
And I'm going to watch the feed from outside.
Okay.
So, well hold on.
This it's It's it's there it is.
See, it's itchy.
It's itchy.
I knew it was going to The person you're after, he's not going to see - Is he gonna see it? - No, he's not gonna see it.
- You'll be fine, Mr.
Agashe.
- Okay, great.
- You're good? - Yeah, good.
Just try and act natural Mr.
Agashe.
Everything is fine.
Just follow your regular routine that you did with the other exchanges.
I'll show you what I do.
Excuse me.
So, here's what would happen.
I would examine the diamonds, bahbahbah, and then I would take the money.
And then I would hand it to McHale.
That's like the usual - you know.
- Do that.
- Right.
So hey.
So one sec.
Um - Yeah.
I'm going to get the money back.
- Uh-huh.
- Right? Right? And the particulars of my business, are, you know, - out of the scope of your investigation.
- Everything's going to be fine, - Mr.
Agashe.
I promise.
- Right.
Rex and I are right here.
We're steps away.
- Okay? - Right.
Good boy.
You got this.
CCTV is up.
He's here.
Like I said, he was called away.
- Okay.
- He asked me to handle this for you.
Didn't want to keep you waiting.
Okay.
That security camera.
I turned it off.
This isn't the kind of business I like to, do in front of a camera.
All right.
Where's the money? Well, I'd like to inspect the stones first, if you don't mind.
Right, right.
Sure.
Beautiful.
As usual.
Please pass that message on to Sean.
Yeah, I'll tell him.
Okay.
Seventy-five thousand.
As discussed.
Great.
Okay come on, man.
We're heading in.
Rex, let's go.
Ughh! Uhh! You're under arrest, Otto.
You've arrested Otto? Excuse me.
Come with me.
He admitted to killing McHale, so he could steal the diamonds.
He wouldn't do that.
He must have confessed because he was scared.
We have him on tape.
You should talk to him.
Adele.
This isn't right.
You've got to help me.
- Why would you do this? - McHale was just a criminal.
You killed him.
For for what? The money? Yeah, I thought the money would be nice, okay? Are you going to get me out of this? - Take him to the cell.
- Adele! Adele! Come on! No, no, no! I mean, I don't know how she keeps her job after this.
Well, the chief will have a quiet word with her and that'll be it.
Well, at least maybe she'll go easier on you.
She has asked for my report to be on her desk first thing in the morning.
She is stone cold.
I'll tell you that.
Well, she can't be entirely cold.
She put a lot on the line for somebody she cared about.
Yeah, well - Hey.
- Hi.
Hello.
Can I get a beer? I was planning on drinking alone but I guess I should have picked a bar further from the station.
You want me to leave? No.
Uh Actually, I was going to thank you.
If it hadn't been for Major Crimes, Otto would have gotten away with it.
Yeah, look.
I'm sorry how things turned out.
You don't need to apologize.
You tried to warn me.
Being a cop doesn't change how you feel about your family.
You were being loyal to Otto.
- Biggest mistake of my career.
- Yeah, who knows? Better to make a mistake in the name of love than to not love at all.
Do you have room for one more? If my partner says it's okay.
Come on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hey.
Uh I just wanted to say I'm sorry I underestimated the value of Rex to the team.
Yeah, maybe you should tell him that.
This might help.
Uh Rex.
I'm sorry I wasn't very kind to you.
Friends? You did a really great job.
There you go.
Rex believes in second chances.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
