(REX GROANS)
SARAH: I know, Rex. No
one likes a 4am call.
(REX GRUNTS)
I would have brought you a
coffee except we're out, and
all the cafés are closed.
I'll survive.
I wish I could say the same about Luisa.
- Is that the name of our victim?
- Yeah. Luisa Hastings.
In from Upper Falls with
friends for a bachelorette party.
That was a heck of a party.
- Any idea what happened?
- Based on the position of the body,
I think she fell from up there.
There were no clear defensive wounds
but that railing up there
is at least four feet high.
Would make it difficult
for somebody to just
accidentally fall over it.
Yeah, exactly.
- When was she found?
- 3:10. Manager called it in.
By the time EMS arrived, she'd
already been pronounced dead.
By who?
The hotel doctor?
No, a friend of the deceased.
(NATE SIGHS)
Excuse me.
I'm Detective Hudson. SJPD.
I understand you knew the victim?
We're both in the wedding party.
She was the maid of honour.
I'm best man. Nate Seaver.
I understand you pronounced her dead?
I'm an MD.
Internal Medicine and
I booked the hotel.
The manager called me when they
realized she was with our group.
(TAYLOR CRYING)
Oh my God! Luisa!
Will you excuse me a moment?
You don't need to see this, honey.
Please, just
What happened?
We're still investigating, Ms ?
Taylor Taylor. She's my best friend.
I'm Rashid. Fiancé.
- Did you all party together?
- No sir.
The ladies went to a strip show.
Nate and I kept it a bit tamer.
Dinner and a whisky tasting.
- (TAYLOR CRYING)
- Taylor.
What time did you and the bridesmaids
get back to the hotel?
Around 2:15.
But she left the party early.
- Why's that?
- TAYLOR: She sent me a text at 1:00
saying she wasn't feeling well.
A text? Why not just tell you?
TAYLOR: I don't know. I didn't
think anything of it, but
What are you thinking?
Luisa was a recovering addict.
Opiates and alcohol.
(REX BARKING)
Excuse us for a moment.
(REX BARKING)
(TAYLOR CRYING)
TAYLOR: Oh Nate!
- What have you got?
- (REX BARKING)
Yeah.
- (REX BARKING)
- Good job, pal.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(REX BARKS)
Huh.
Rashid might be on to something.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
Hey, hey, buddy! Good morning.
DONOVAN: Hey, Rex.
Someone woke up on the wrong
side of the bed this morning.
We had an early start.
Yeah, so I heard. I'm just making my way
through the hotel CCTV right now.
Anything interesting?
Well, there's no footage of Luisa's fall
but I did find this.
DONOVAN: Where's she headed?
JESSE: Presumably to the mezzanine.
Hotel staff found her ten minutes later.
Yeah, well, the question
is, what happened
within those ten minutes, right?
Yeah and why was she acting so weird?
This might help. The pill Rex found,
it's high-dose codeine.
- You think she was high?
- Luisa was a recovering addict.
- It makes sense.
- CHARLIE: That's one possibility,
but we can't sure the
codeine belonged to Luisa.
I mean, Rex found it in a public place.
Sure, but given her history
Yeah but I mean, you said so yourself,
the railing on the
mezzanine was so high,
it would be hard to fall off
of under the influence or not.
That's true. Toxicology
will tell us for sure.
DONOVAN: Keep me posted on that, okay?
I'm doing the new alt
methods workshop this weekend.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(SHIP HORN BLOWING)
I can't stop talking about it.
I hope you're ready!
They assume that
Financial Crimes is boring.
But we just put
somebody away for murder.
You may have heard of the
Tropiks nightclub case?
Right? Everybody assumed
that it was just a simple
case of arson, right?
And so my team found a
key piece of evidence.
- Your team?
- I'm so proud.
Right.
- Superintendent Donovan.
- Superintendent Lewis.
I heard that Tropiks nightclub
case was a tough nut to crack.
I'm really impressed
with how well you did
without any
inter-departmental assistance.
- Okay everyone!
- (LEWIS CHUCKLES)
Welcome to The Which Way!
Let's start by getting in pairs.
And choose wisely. You'll
be together all weekend.
- WOMAN: Hey!
- Right on.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Sound good?
- WOMAN 2: Hey.
MAN: Hey don't hurt me huh?
Mmmm.
Looks like we're stuck together.
(LEWIS SIGHS)
(DONOVAN SIGHS)
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Luisa and I have been best
friends since kindergarten.
I can't believe she's gone.
(TAYLOR CRYING)
(REX WHINES)
Listen, I know this is very difficult,
but given the circumstances,
I do need to ask about
Luisa's history of addiction.
You said she was in recovery?
For almost a year.
It was her longest stretch.
She'd struggled since high school.
But this time felt different.
She had a job. She
had a place of her own.
I really thought she'd beaten it.
So, she was in a good place.
Any mental health issues?
Did she have any serious stressors?
TAYLOR: No! She was the
happiest I've ever seen her.
Would it be all right if she lied down?
Of course.
Why don't you take a little bit of time.
We'll give you some space.
It's okay.
Poor Taylor.
Would you agree that Luisa's
recovery was on track?
- I mean, I didn't know her super well.
- But?
- Taylor had on rose coloured glasses.
- Ah.
The rest of us knew that the
cycle was going to start again.
I just wish she hadn't
picked Taylor's big night.
Did you actually witness
Luisa drinking or taking drugs?
No.
But she started acting all
funny after the strip show,
- so I figured
- Meaning she seemed high?
Look, I don't know.
You should probably talk
to Quincy about this.
Who's Quincy?
Taylor's other bridesmaid.
Where is she right now?
She's sleeping off her hangover.
I tried to wake her
but she was out cold.
Anyway, the last time I saw
Luisa, they were together.
Have her call me when she wakes up.
Cause we're summer lovin' ♪
SARAH: I hate to say
it but it sounds like
death by misadventure.
I'm not so sure.
Hannah said that Luisa,
she got funny after the strip show.
But that doesn't mean she was on drugs.
Sure, but when you add
the codeine on scene
and what Rashid said
Yeah, but what about Taylor?
She knew her best and
she said that she was
she was sure that Luisa
had gotten sober for good.
I wonder how many times
she'd believed that before.
Anything bothering you?
Why do you ask?
You're not usually so quick to
judge.
Oh! I wasn't judging.
Luisa relapsing is the simplest
explanation given the evidence.
We don't have all the evidence.
We still don't have the tox report.
And we're breakin' all the rules ♪
They say we're bad for each other ♪
You know, you're right.
I should go see what the hold up is.
- Okay, let me just grab the bill.
- No no no, it's fine.
You take your time.
I'll see you later.
Yeah, see you.
(REX WHINES)
(REX BARKS)
I know, I know.
You recognize this
woman from last night?
Sure. You don't forget someone
with a twelve hundred dollar tab
and two declined credit cards.
Declined?
Did she find another way to pay?
No. She had to get someone
else to settle up for her.
You have any idea who?
I've got the receipt somewhere.
I can soothe ya ♪
I will soothe ya ♪
- I can groove ya ♪
- DANCER: Grab it!
Feel the party move ya ♪
- Yeah, boy!
- (REX GROWLS)
Let the DJ move ya ♪
I'm rocking to ya ♪
Drop the bass and groove ya ♪
I'm rocking to ya ♪
- Let the DJ move ya ♪
- You ready?
- Catch!
- I'm rocking ♪
I'm rocking to ya ♪
Hey, buddy!
Looks pretty good on you!
- Let's see your moves!
- (REX BARKS)
All right.
Left!
Right!
(REX BARKS)
- Left!
- (REX BARKS)
- Right!
- (REX BARKS)
Here you go. Signature's all over it.
Looks like Carly or Orly or something?
Quincy.
DANCER: Good boy!
(CAR ENGINE ROARING)
(ENERGETIC MUSIC)
NATE: We'll get you
feeling better in no time.
It's Vitamin B12.
Tay and I discovered it as a
hangover remedy in nursing school.
So the whole wedding party
are medical professionals then?
Yep. Well,
except for Luisa.
At the Upper Falls Hospital
they call us the fab five.
Huh.
You're close with
Taylor. That means that
you probably knew Luisa pretty well.
She was around a lot, yeah.
- Was that a problem?
- QUINCY: No. But like,
no one understood why Taylor
stayed so tight with her
after all that she did.
She should've ditched
her after rehab stint two.
Quincy.
Sorry, I've got no
filter when I'm hung over.
- Huh.
- It's
Taylor had a great job.
And she was getting
married and she had us.
Luisa's a burnout.
NATE: What she means is Luisa was
on a different path than Taylor.
Oh, I need coffee.
(QUINCY MOANS)
(QUINCY EXHALES SHAKILY)
CHARLIE: Hannah said that
she saw you with Luisa
right before Luisa left the bar.
How did she seem?
I don't know. I was pretty wasted.
You did pay her tab after
her cards were declined.
Did she give an explanation for that?
Luisa said that she
was behind on her bills.
But I don't know.
To me, that's like a huge red
flag that she was using again.
But it was fine.
I mean, I'm happy to shell out
to celebrate Tay's
last night of freedom.
I kind of figured that I'd
have to step up at some point.
- How so?
- There was just no way
that Luisa was going to keep it together
like a Maid of Honour really should.
(QUINCY MOANS)
Joe. You're the target.
You're agitated. You've got
a hostage at knife-point.
Vanessa, you've got to
step in and talk him down
or SWAT will move in and
take him out with force.
Here's a script to get started.
And remember the Which Way.
Wavelength. Heed.
Influence Change. Heal.
Start by getting on the same
wavelength as your target.
Joe, you're free to improvise
but don't make it easy for her.
Oh, I wouldn't dream of it.
Help me understand.
What brought you to this moment?
It started when a colleague took credit
for work that my team did.
- Come on, Joe. Be serious.
- I am being serious.
I am drawing from real life
experience to enhance my character.
I learned that in high
school drama class.
- I played Hamlet. I was brilliant.
- (LEWIS SCOFFS)
The Tropiks case was ours
until you all just pulled
it out from under us.
The Crown gave us that case
because it was falling apart.
Yeah, but that's not
on Financial Crimes!
The defense's forensics expert
- were the people that
- That is not on me, Vanessa!
- You know that.
- Really? Because you know,
heaven forbid you should
take a little responsibility.
Responsibility? That's rich.
- If you want to talk about
- Sounds like someone's
influencing their target negatively.
No no no no. We were just
actually taking a break there.
There are no breaks in a
real-life de-escalation, Vanessa.
I'm afraid your target has been downed.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
Oooh!
(LEWIS SCOFFS)
(DOOR OPENING)
Hey.
I wanted to apologize for
being a bit off earlier.
You too Rex.
Hi.
Yeah.
Yeah. I know you were confused.
This case. It's um
hit a nerve.
I didn't realize it earlier.
Not consciously at least.
Do you want to talk about it?
No.
(THEY CHUCKLE)
But that probably means I should.
(SARAH SIGHS)
Okay, so, I had a friend
in university, Willow.
She was my roommate in first year.
We were total opposites.
She was in the music program.
A singer. God, she was brilliant.
But she had problems with addiction?
Cocaine. Speed, alcohol.
She couldn't do anything in moderation.
She was on and off the wagon for years.
- Just like Luisa.
- Yeah.
Every time she got clean,
I thought, this is it. Okay.
She's finally kicked it for good.
And then
the cycle would repeat.
And I tried to help her, you know?
I found her support groups. I
I even paid for an in
patient treatment program.
But none of it stuck.
And eventually I just
I just I had to
let her go.
You know? The roller
coaster was just too much.
Knowing you, that must
have been really difficult.
It was, yeah.
But maybe Luisa had found a
way to keep her demons in check.
We owe her the benefit
of the doubt on that.
Of course.
WHICH: When there's a
breakdown in communication,
sometimes we have to use
physical force to de-escalate.
But physical force
doesn't just mean guns.
There are other tactics in your arsenal.
Joe and Vanessa here are going
to help me show you one right now.
- You two ready?
- Can't wait.
WHICH: Okay. So let's say
we've gotten our hostage safe.
Now it's just our target
and his knife. Right?
Vanessa. You're going to knock
the weapon from Joe's hand.
You want to get it as far away
from him as possible. Okay?
Give it a try. Nice and slow.
WHICH: Okay, good.
Someone's been eating their Wheaties!
So the knife is gone.
But Joe's still a tough guy.
He's going to hit back.
Probably with a fist. Right?
So let's say, Joe goes to hit you.
Vanessa needs to counter.
- Find a way to get
- Ughh!
behind him, yes! Yes, beautiful work!
That's beautiful work!
That's how we do it in Financial Crimes.
Jesse.
Do you have Luisa's credit
card statements there?
Your partner's on it.
Yeah, you know what?
Luisa had zero savings
and her chequing
account's on the low side.
I mean, there are no regular withdrawals
to suggest that she
was buying any drugs.
Yeah, I don't see anything here either.
It looks like most of the
charges over the last month
have been wedding related.
So I mean you think
her financial troubles
come from her trying to keep
up with her wealthy friends?
Uh
- looks that way.
- It just doesn't get us
any closer to figuring
out how or why she died.
Maybe not but there are
some things we can rule out.
You've got toxicology?
No alcohol or opiates in her system.
I ran it twice.
She didn't relapse.
JESSE: That doesn't explain
her weird behaviour in the CCTV.
I've got one possibility.
Tests showed a slightly elevated
level of GHB in her system.
GHB? Like the date rape drug GHB?
Yeah, Luisa might have been roofied.
Someone could have slipped
something into her drink.
Well, that may explain her text
that she sent to Taylor saying
that she wasn't feeling well.
JESSE: While we're talking
about date rape drugs, I mean,
is it possible that she
didn't leave the bar alone?
- Because whoever roofied her
- They may have killed her.
(REX BARKS)
SARAH: Hey.
I tossed and turned all night.
I figured a run might clear my head.
Are you still thinking about Willow?
Oh no.
That I know how to deal with.
I feel guilty about assuming
the worst about Luisa.
Especially now that we
know she didn't relapse.
Thank you.
You know you have nothing
to feel guilty about?
Mmmmm.
That's not true.
I let my personal feelings
interfere with my work.
Well, our experiences
colour our perspectives.
It's impossible not to.
No, I know.
I feel like I owe Luisa an apology.
Well, I can't give you that
but Taylor's coming in this morning.
Do you want to be the one to tell her
that her best friend didn't relapse?
Yeah, I would.
Thank you.
(REX BARKS)
- Easy, pal.
- (SARAH CHUCKLES)
- You're sure?
- I ran the tests myself.
Luisa didn't drink or take drugs
the night of your bachelorette.
In fact, she hadn't used in months.
- How do you know?
- I did a hair follicle test too.
I just thought you'd want
to know that you were right.
She didn't relapse.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
But wait. If she wasn't
using when she died,
- what happened?
- We're hoping you can help us with that.
Detective Hudson.
Of course. Of course,
I'd be happy to help
but I don't know if I could.
I told you Luisa left the party early.
Yeah, we know that.
SARAH: But we think someone might
have tried to spike her drink
before she left.
CHARLIE: Did you see
her talking to anyone?
Or was anyone hanging around the group?
TAYLOR: I don't think so.
I was pretty carried away by the party.
Luisa took such good care of us.
Making sure we had water between drinks.
Hydrate away your hangover, she'd say.
Sounds like a good friend.
The best.
I can't believe I didn't
notice that she was in trouble.
It's not your fault.
Somebody can slip something
into a drink so fast.
I'm just thinking
I have my selfies and Quincy's
and Hannah's too from that night.
Maybe they could help find
whoever spiked Luisa's drink?
I'd like to take a look at those.
LEWIS: I hope there's no
hard feelings about yesterday.
I know how some men are
about being bested by a woman.
Well, anything in the name
of learning new skills.
Day two!
Remember, get on that wavelength.
Heed what your target is saying
and influence them to change.
What can I do to resolve
this situation for you?
You know. Taking
yourself out of contention
when Chief Archer retires
would be a good start.
What? I mean, I'm just
drawing from real life
like you did yesterday.
Okay.
I'm on your wavelength.
And I heed what you're saying.
So you'll decline the offer
if the board approaches
you about the job?
- If?
- Mmmm.
How about this?
If I can't de-escalate you,
- then I'll consider it.
- (LEWIS CHUCKLES) Okay.
It's not going to happen.
But what if you do
manage to de-escalate?
Then you pull yourself out of
consideration if Chief Archer retires.
Oooh.
You've got yourself a deal!
Looks like we've got our
first successful de-escalation!
Say what? No no. That wasn't any
Come on. Tell him, Joe.
Tell me what?
Oh, just that the Which Way
is a great way for mediating conflict.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
CHARLIE: So, when Luisa texts Taylor,
she's heading back to
the hotel at 1:05am.
And time of death is around three
leaving two hours unaccounted for.
And given the GHB,
who knows what could've
happened in that time?
I've asked Karma to look
for signs of sexual assault.
So, Luisa, she leaves the bar.
She's not feeling well.
Does the person who spiked
her drink follow her?
- SARAH: They could have left together.
- CHARLIE: Yeah, I mean,
pretty risky move for
a potential killer.
Luisa had a relatively low
level of GHB in her system.
Maybe she invited them back
and had a change of heart?
Well, a change of heart would explain
the agitated behaviour on CCTV.
SARAH: Luisa said no.
Her attacker pushed back.
CHARLIE: We need to find
out whoever this was.
I've got Luisa with a guy at the bar.
Drew Pang.
Arrested for a DUI in 2018.
And interviewed on suspicion
of sexual assault last year.
I need an address.
- JESSE: On it.
- Rex.

(MUSIC STOPS)
(DREW GASPS) Man!
You scared me!
Detective Hudson, SJPD.
I need to ask you a couple of questions.
You were at Wyld on Friday night?
I stopped by.
Well, I'm investigating
the death of a woman
after she left the club.
That's heavy.
But I can't help you.
I didn't see anything.
Are you sure about that?
That chick died?
That chick's name was Luisa Hastings.
And we think she was slipped a
date rape drug before she did.
A date rape ?
Man. That's brutal.
- (REX BARKING)
- Yeah, it is.
- Wait, what's he doing?
- Working.
Look.
You can't just search
I didn't do anything, man! What
kind of guy do you think I am?
I think you're the kind of guy who
keeps GHB in their glove box, Drew.
I didn't kill that chick.
Luisa.
Even if I did slip her something,
which I'm not saying that I did,
she barely touched her soda.
She was too busy taking
care of her drunk friends.
Well, she texted one of those friends
- to say she wasn't feeling well.
- Yeah.
But that had nothing to do with GHB.
She wanted to get out of there.
She needed an excuse.
Why's that?
Some other chick from the bridal party
was giving her a hard time
about money or something.
So we went for a walk.
A walk? Really?
Believe what you want, man.
Okay.
Did I want to hook up?
Yeah. Sure. But
she wasn't in the right headspace.
So, I walked her to her hotel.
And then I said goodnight.
Like a gentleman.
(CHARLIE SIGHS)
KARMA: She was preyed upon in
the last moments of her life.
Does that make Drew our killer?
I don't believe so.
Whoever killed Luisa knew her
and her history of addiction.
What kind of findings
could tell you that?
I noticed that her lower
lip was slightly swollen.
So I had a closer look
and took some photos inside her mouth.
Here, let me show you.
Bite marks.
They're not obvious but if
you look way back in her mouth,
you can see where she's bitten
the insides of her cheeks.
Pretty severe.
Sustained in a struggle?
Yeah, I believe so.
How do bite marks tell
you that Luisa's killer
knew about her addiction issues?
Have a look.
- What am I looking at here?
- Granulated codeine.
- (REX WHINES)
- It was ground into her lower bi-cusbid.
So someone force-fed her?
SARAH: It must've been just ante-mortem
- for none of it to reach her bloodstream.
- Hmm.
Well, from the look of these bite marks,
Luisa must have fought back
with everything she had.
Even possibly biting her attacker.
Someone tried to push her off the wagon.
And when it didn't work,
they had to make sure
that she couldn't reveal
what they tried to do.
Mmm. That's it.
But who was it?
And why?
(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)
Guys.
So Drew's story checks out.
I can conclusively say
he is not our killer.
Yeah, we figured.
But we're going to
hang on to him anyway.
We have him for possession of a
controlled substance at the very least.
Wait, I feel like I'm
missing something here.
How do you figure
that Drew didn't do it?
Autopsy showed that Luisa's killer
knew about her history
of opiate addiction.
She doesn't have any ties to
St. John's that I've found.
Which means that the killer is
probably a member of the wedding party.
They're all medical
professionals, right?
- Yeah.
- That'd mean they would have had
easy access to something like codeine.
Wait a minute. Okay, so,
I know Luisa's friends
doubted she's gotten clean,
but why would one of
them want to kill her?
Well, by the sounds of it,
the wedding party weren't
really her friends.
And there was one
bridesmaid in particular
who had a problem with her.
Of course I didn't kill
Luisa. Why would I bother
when she was bound to do
it herself sooner or later?
Tell us what you really think.
Well, I'm sorry but you didn't know her.
She was a mess. It
wasn't going to end well.
I understand that perspective.
I really do.
But all the evidence points to Luisa
being committed to her sobriety.
Well, no offense but I've
heard that one before.
Your real problem with Luisa though,
it went beyond her addiction problems.
- Didn't it, Quincy?
- What do you mean?
You were jealous of her
relationship with Taylor.
- Oh, please.
- Well, you told me yourself.
You encouraged Taylor to
drop her burnout friend.
- Yeah, but that's not
- SARAH: Are you sure
you didn't help the situation
along by fabricating a relapse?
Fabricating? Look.
I've already told you.
I basically blacked out after I
helped her pay for her bar tab.
Convenient.
No, I swear. I don't
remember anything after
she helped me off the stage
and then like made me drink her soda.
You caught that too?
Drew told you Luisa hardly
touched her drink, right?
Yeah. Said she was too preoccupied
taking care of her drunk friends.
Maybe Luisa passed the drugged
soda off to Quincy by mistake.
It would explain the blackout.
Yeah, if she did black out.
I still want to confirm that story.
If she consents, I can run some tests
- and we can find out for sure.
- Okay.
In the meantime, I'm
going to head to the hotel
to see if the other bridesmaid
can corroborate any of this.
Bye.
WHICH: Okay! Let's move
on to practicing techniques
to establish control.
When you're being attacked,
your goal is to get
your target restrained.
But no one should get hurt, okay?
I hope you don't think I'm
going to let you best me
after that trick you
just pulled earlier.
- Trick?
- Mm hmm.
You shook my hand. That's on you.
Well, I hope you don't think
I'm taking myself out of the race
- to replace Chief Archer after that.
- I wouldn't dream of it.
- Where's the fun in that, huh?
- Ohh!
Okay? (LEWIS CHUCKLES)
Yeah. It's just like this.
- (LEWIS GRUNTS)
- Ooh!
- What's going on?
- Okay, Lewis.
- I see you.
- That's what you're bringing?
- Want a little more?
- (BOTH GRUNTING)
What you think? I was born yesterday?
I'm new? I'm not new. Come on!
- Right here.
- South paw? What else you got?
- Oh, what I got?
- Yeah, show me, show me.
- Oooh!
- Ohh!
Too slow, Lewis! Got
to be quicker that that!
- So you anticipated that, huh?
- (DONOVAN LAUGHS)
You expected that, didn't you?
- Ohhh!
- Ooh, what was that?
- Come on, do it!
- Oh, that was definitely new!
- (DONOVAN LAUGHS)
- You got to use that little brain cell
you got in there still, huh? Watch this.
- (BOTH GRUNTING)
- (DONOVAN LAUGHS)
See? That's how we
do it in Major Crimes.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
CHARLIE: How intoxicated would you say
Quincy was the other night?
She was pretty lit up.
I basically had to carry
her back to the hotel.
Did you take her
straight back to her room?
No, we um, uh,
I think maybe Taylor did?
It's all kind of a blur.
Why are you asking about Quincy?
- We're still trying to piece together
- (PHONE BUZZING)
exactly what happened.
Excuse me a moment.
Hey. You get the lab results back?
Quincy's GHB was through the roof.
So, she did drink the spiked soda.
Yeah and based on how
high her levels were,
I don't think she
could've formed a sentence
much less kill someone.
(REX BARKING)
I've got to go.
(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)
- CHARLIE: Hannah, stop!
- (HANNAH GASPS)
We're not done yet!
HANNAH: Rashid, we have to
What was that all about?
Oh my gosh. This must look so
bad but it's not what you think.
Really? Because it looked like you
just fled from an officer of the law.
It's not her fault.
Okay.
Now, I really want to
know what's going on.
We didn't have anything
to do with Luisa's death.
Prove it.
This is where you talk. Come on.
We can alibi each other.
- Hmm?
- RASHID: We got a little
too cozy on the hotel
patio the night she died.
It was a stupid stupid drunken mistake.
We both went out for a smoke
after everyone else had gone to bed.
And one thing just led to another.
CHARLIE: Okay. Why did
you just run, right now?
HANNAH: You were asking
about what happened
when we got back from the bar.
Rashid and I hadn't
gotten our stories straight
and I panicked.
Can either of you prove this?
I don't know how. It
was just the two of us.
I might have something.
You said you deleted them!
I put them in a private folder.
- No one's going to see it.
- Hannah, if Taylor sees them
(REX BARKING)
Give me the proof.
Bunny ears?
We were drunk.
CHARLIE: One photo taken twenty
minutes before Luisa died.
That doesn't exactly alibi you out.
There are more.
You can scroll.
You're free to go.
Send me those photos first.
Sure, I'll airdrop them to you now.
(PHONE CHIMES)
You're not going to share those
photos with Taylor, are you?
Not unless I have to.
But maybe you should.
You really want to start
your marriage off with a lie?
Go on.
(REX BARKS)
Looks like we're back
to square one, pal.
Wait a second.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
(PHONE KEYBOARD CLICKING)
- JESSE: Hello?
- Jesse, I'm going to send you some photos.
Okay, looking now.
What's with the bunny ears?
Just the bunny ears aren't the point.
Look in the deep background.
Does that look like Luisa to you?
Uhh
(COMPUTER BEEPING)
Yeah, I think it is.
Who's she arguing with?
His back is to the camera.
Let me see if there's any
nearby CCTV that I can hack into.
Oh yeah. Bingo! Okay, there's
an ATM across the road.
Just give me a second.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(COMPUTER BEEPING)
It's Nate.
Rashid's best man? Why would
she be arguing with him?
I don't know. Let me scroll
back and see what I can find.
Okay, Charlie. I've got Nate with a guy.
Something's changing hands.
(COMPUTER BEEPING)
I think Nate was dealing.
Luisa must have seen.
Her odd behaviour on the lobby CCTV,
that wasn't her on drugs.
That was her reacting to finding out
that Nate was selling them.
So she goes outside, confronts Nate,
maybe threatens to tell the others?
Okay, but how does that lead to
her falling from the mezzanine?
He must have followed her
inside and cornered her up there.
Planned to discredit
anything she told Taylor
by force-feeding her codeine.
But she spit the codeine out.
And maybe bit him in the process.
Then he pushed her.
I'm bringing him in.
- HANNAH: I'm so sorry.
- QUINCY: We've got this. We've got this.
(TAYLOR CRYING): Quincy!
- Come on, hey.
- Okay.
- It's okay.
- NATE: Ah, hey boy.
CHARLIE: Nate.
I need you to come down to the
station to answer a few questions.
Sorry, but we're headed home.
I've got an overnight in the ER tonight.
You're going to need
somebody to fill in for you.
What kind of questions
are we talking about?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(REX BARKS)
Well, for starters, where did you
get those bite marks on your hand?
Then maybe we can talk
about trafficking narcotics?
And murder?
- (NATE GRUNTS)
- (BYSTANDERS EXCLAIMING)
Rex. Go.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(NATE BREATHING SHAKILY)
(CHARLIE WHISTLES)
NATE: Ughh!
(REX BARKING)
CHARLIE: I don't think you're
going to be practicing medicine
any time soon, Nate.

CHARLIE: Joe just talked to the Crown.
Nate's being arraigned tomorrow.
SARAH: And Drew?
Being charged with possession.
There'll likely be an assault
charge too for spiking Luisa's drink.
- That's good news.
- Yeah.
Well, I think I'm ready for bed.
- (SARAH SIGHS)
- You coming?
Mmmm. Not yet.
- I've got a call to make.
- Come on, pal.
(REX WHINES)
How does he always know?
Yeah, because he's the best.
Ahhh.
You're pretty great too.
Don't forget that.
- Good night.
- Good night.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Willow?
Hi! It's Sarah.
It has been a long time.
I've missed your voice, too.
Next time on Hudson & Rex
(REX BARKING)
Did the doctor give an
approximate time of death?
No. I didn't see much need for that.
- Do you have an estimate?
- Bodies don't bruise after death.
I think Eric was already
dead when he was hung.
Eric said that Tom stole what was his.
- The new owner.
- We heard that Eric didn't want to sell.
It's not my fault the man
couldn't pay his taxes.
One man's bad luck, another
man's opportunity, right?
I know you're Major
Crimes in the big city,
but this is my town, my case.
He didn't hang himself, Charlie.
Someone strangled him first.
Sounds like we have a murder to solve.
