Hudson and Rex (2019) s06e08 Episode Script
Doghouse
[TENSE MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
No, I've got this one, Nestor.
- You looking for trouble?
- No, not at all.
Nestor.
- Just take another bag.
- Leave him alone.
I gotta hit the head anyway.
WALT: Hey, Vic.
[VIC GRUNTS]
You call that clean?
Wash it again, man.
Everybody's laundry gets
treated the same, Walt.
Some stink just don't come out.
[WALT LAUGHS COLDLY]
Yeah, you and me need to go have a talk.
Oh yeah, what do you want to talk about?
You shouldn't be in here, Walt.
PARKER: Hey. I forgot this.
Parker.
You're behind on your payments.
What are we going to do about that?
[CHAIR OVERTURNS]
- Okay.
- David!
David!
[INMATE GRUNTS]
DAVID: Come on, Walt, you're
gonna get us written up!
- WALT: Stay out of it, man.
- David!
[INMATES YELLING]
MACNAMARA: Hey, hey, hey!
Cut it out! Get off of him!
Get back! Back off! Back off!
Break it up! Everybody out of the way!
Get down!
Down! On your knees!
Hands behind your head!
Down on your knees!
Get down on your knees!
Hands behind your head! Nobody move!
Aziz, get down!
[DAVID MOANS]
What's wrong with you?
What happened?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I need a medic!
Code four!
Laundry room! A medic!
Code four, laundry room!
DISPATCH: Copy that, code four.
It's okay, David.
Help is coming, all right?
Hang in there.
[DAVID SHUDDERS]
[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
CHARLIE: Ahhh, come on, come on, buddy!
- [REX GROWLS]
- Yeah come on, come on!
Okay, you have the towel.
- OFFICER: Detective?
- Yeah.
A lady here to see you.
Hi.
Layla Aziz.
I'm David's sister.
Oh yes, Layla. Um
We spoke at the courthouse
during your brother's trial.
Have you heard?
Sorry?
My brother was killed.
What?
In prison,
where you put him.
They murdered him.
Are you happy?
No. Wh
- Layla.
- He didn't deserve that.
He had less than a year
and he was supposed to
be back with his family.
Yeah, I know. David's
a good man.
But you had to charge him.
- Yes.
- It's not right.
What am I supposed to tell his daughter?
[REX WHINES]
I spoke with the warden.
She said that David stepped into a fight
to try and break it up.
There are multiple prisoners involved.
Do we have any idea who did it?
No, no. They said it was impossible
to identify who it was that killed him
and that nobody's talking.
He was
stabbed in the heart.
David Aziz.
Robin Hood with a dog, right?
[REX BARKS]
Yeah.
Stole to recover funds
from a corrupt stockbroker.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
He was a good guy.
And he had a little kid.
Look, you cannot take
this on yourself, Charlie.
I want to find out who did this.
Okay.
Okay, I'll make some phone calls.
[REX WHINES]
CHARLIE: What do you mean,
the investigation's complete?
It's been two days.
What are the findings, Warden Gage?
Helen, please.
Three inmates in close
proximity to the victim
at the time of the assault.
Several bystanders cleared of suspicion.
Three guards responded.
A weapon found at the scene. A shank.
Taped handle.
We were unable to
recover any fingerprints.
Who started the fight
in the first place?
Detective, what do you
hope to gain by this?
We don't think that this
was a targeted at David.
There was no motive against him.
That you know of.
He was in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
So, case closed.
[HELEN SIGHS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
David's death was a tragedy
but it's not even the first
death I have seen this year.
We are short-staffed.
We are underfunded.
- We have a rampant drug problem.
- Warden.
Helen.
We know how hard you're working on this
and we're sure that you want
answers as badly as we do.
HELEN: Of course I do!
But the fact is, no one is talking.
And there's very little
I can do to compel them.
My team can figure this out.
Please, let us help you.
So, the warden just handed
over the investigation report?
Yeah, with a little
sweet-talking from Joe.
Hey, Jesse, can you look
into everything you can
- on outside resources for me?
- Outside resources?
Prisoners' friends and
family on the outside.
- Yeah, gotcha.
- Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I had a chance to review
David Aziz' autopsy
and talk to the coroner.
As per the initial report, he
died of traumatic cardiac injury.
Here, I'll show you the weapon.
Sharp, thin blade, about 5 inches long.
Blood matches David's
and the weapon matches the wound.
There were also multiple
bruises on David's torso.
That wasn't in the investigation report.
No, they were sustained
before the fight.
- About 12 hours earlier.
- That was at 2:00 PM.
Twelve hours before that, he would
have still been locked in his cell.
Ah.
I don't suppose there were any
cameras in the laundry room?
Our system's been down.
We've been having some
trouble getting it replaced.
What about phone and video logs?
HELEN: Sure.
- I can get you those.
- JESSE: Great.
Okay, so here are the
guys that were in the fight
when David was killed.
This is Vic Mason.
He's 15 years into a
stretch for homicide.
And Walt Larson.
He's halfway through
a seven-year stretch
for aggravated assault.
Both leaders. We normally
keep them separated.
But Walt slipped some cash to a guard
to look the other way when
he went into the laundry room.
Yes, that guard has been suspended.
Who's this guy, Parker Colson?
HELEN: Parker was a friend of David's.
Anxious type.
Not violent, as far as I know.
Did David have a cellmate?
Yes, Vic Mason. Why?
It appears he was beaten the
night before he was killed.
Yeah, presumably while
he was locked in his cell.
So, if Vic had a problem with David,
perhaps this fight
gave him an opportunity.
HELEN: There is something else.
I don't know if it's relevant
but David had requested
a meeting with me.
Is that unusual?
Normally, inmates just talk
to the correction officers
and my officers keep me up to date.
Maybe he wanted to report something?
After last month's overdose,
I had asked the inmates for information
about the drug trade.
No one's come forward.
Wouldn't that be snitching?
Well, that could be the motive.
Maybe his moral code dictated
that whatever he had to say
was important enough to take the risk.
Which leaves us with the
question of what he knew.
Unfortunately, if
that's why he was killed,
his death would just
emphasize to everyone else there
the danger of talking.
Those witnesses, they're
never gonna talk to you,
but they may talk to one of their own.
- You want to plant a snitch?
- No.
No, jailhouse snitches
are notoriously unreliable.
No, not a snitch. Me.
No.
[REX WHINES]
JESSE: Charlie. How
many inmates have been placed
in the Deer Lake
Correctional by you and Rex?
So, we transfer them out.
HELEN: That's just
about maintaining cover.
I couldn't possibly guarantee
your safety on the inside.
I'll take the risk. You give me access
and I'll find out who killed David.
- Absolutely not.
- CHARLIE: I'll also find out
how drugs are getting
inside your prison.
What about Rex?
- Hmm?
- [REX WHINES]
You can't just walk in there with him.
No, I can't.
[REX BARKS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]

[DISTANT SIREN WAILING]
[SHIP HORN BLARING]

- [METAL DOOR SLIDING OPEN]
MACNAMARA: Gentlemen.
Welcome to your new home sweet home.
Everyone file in.
[CHAINS RATTLING]
Watch your step now.
[METAL DOOR SLAMMING]
This is not a joke.
This is not a dream.
This is Deer Lake Correctional.
Whatever mistakes you,
made on the outside
in here is where you pay.
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
Stay, boy.
What's a dog doing in here?
It's contraband detection detail.
Get used to it, gentlemen.
Find it.
[REX SNIFFING]
Back up.
Find it.
[TENSE MUSIC]
- Find it, boy.
- [REX SNIFFING]
Good boy. Come on. Find it.
What have you got,
pal? You got something?
Hmm?
- [REX BARKS]
- Oh, okay.
On your feet.
Turn out your pockets.
See?
Nothing there.
You come in contact with
any narcotics recently?
No, sir.
On your way.
Easy, let's go.
[REX WHINES]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
Welcome to Block 4A kid.
Watch your back. Follow the rules.
You'll get by.
[INMATES APPLAUD AND WHISTLE]
Show us what you got, fish.
Ah, this isn't my first time.
- It's the first time on this range.
- Mmm.
Yeah, what makes it so special, huh?
Well, I'm here, ain't I?
- INMATE: Yeah, Walt!
- [REX BARKS]
- [INMATES APPLAUD]
- INMATE: Tell him, Walt!
This fresh jumpsuit here.
Thinks he's got it all covered, hmm?
All right, enough socializing.
- Let's go.
- Later.
Yeah, you bet.
[INMATES APPLAUD AND WHISTLE]
[MACNAMARA KNOCKS]
MACNAMARA: Vic.
This is Chuck Dolan.
Hey.
He does talk. He just
doesn't do it very often.
Isn't that right, Vic?
You can take the top bunk.
Meals are on the range.
Trays'll be coming by around dinner.
You can eat in your cell but
you've got to keep it clean
or you're gonna get bugs.
What are you in for?
Possession with intent.
[VIC GRUNTS]
- You?
- Homicide.
Guy a lot like you.
Drug dealer.
Get it out of your system?
[VIC SCOFFS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
MACNAMARA: You sidestep your story
but this is the second time
I get the exact same
complaint about you.
Next time you're in the yard with them,
do not make eye contact.
Do not cross paths.
Do not speak to them.
Stay at the other end.
Mind your business.
[VIC GRUNTS]
Who's your friend?
This here is Nestor.
MACNAMARA: Am I clear with you?
Vic, Nestor.
Down here.
Mac likes to check up on us.
MACNAMARA: With the trouble you cause,
I'll be watching till you mess up again.
Won't be long.
Anything you find on me is a plant.
I'd say find a better
class of friends, bud.
You're all out of luck in here.
You want this back?
Why don't you hold on to that for us?
What if I get caught?
Don't get caught.
SARAH: We're looking for a suspect
with a drug connection to the outside.
How about this guy?
Okay, Parker.
In for burglary. No visitors.
Calls to his brother in Calgary.
Regular deposits of a
hundred dollars a month
into his commissary account.
His prison record notes
prior drug addiction.
He did the methadone maintenance program
- when he was first incarcerated.
- Hmm.
Yeah, there's no sign that Parker
has anyone smuggling for him.
That just leaves Walt and Vic.
Okay, Walt's got a wife, Stephanie.
Regular visits and calls.
She's a live one. I'll
look into her more closely.
And what about Vic?
As far as I know, Vic's
got no one on the outside.
CHARLIE: Hey.
Uh
They sent me down here,
looking for Parker.
That's me.
Put me to work.
You start with inmate laundry then that.
Prison has contracts with
hospitals, care facilities.
It's how you make a little money.
So, I'll start with this one?
That one's mine.
No problem.
You know how to work these machines?
Can't be too hard, right?
It's not the worst job I've ever had.
Hey, I saw you,
you were buying something
out in the yard earlier.
What are you talking about?
I'm not going to tell anybody.
Just, um
looking for a hookup.
I'll think about it.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
Hey, are you looking into the guards
who were in the laundry room as well?
Yeah, I figured I may as
well, just to eliminate them.
The warden said they've
cracked down on visitors
and they're checking all the mail.
It could be easier for staff
to smuggle in contraband.
You know, I wonder what's
in it for them? I mean,
if prisoners can't pay cash,
then who's paying for the
drugs on the outside though?
Well, one of these outside resources.
And then whoever's
distributing them inside
takes payment in cigarettes
or commissary credit?
Yeah, yeah. Oh you know what?
I did read that prisoners in the States
are using cash apps
for buying and selling.
I'll look into it and see
if it's happening here.
[INDISTINCT PA]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
Cell check! Line up!
Outside!
[VIC GRUNTS]
It's all yours.
DONOVAN: Let's go, pal.
Find it.
[REX SNIFFING]
That dog better not mess
up any of my stuff in there.
Come on, boy. Go on!
- Find it!
- [REX GROWLS]
What have you got there, buddy?
Good job, buddy.
[DONOVAN LAUGHS]
[REX BARKS]
MACNAMARA: Well, well, well!
What have we here?
Where'd that come from?
That's not mine.
That's what they all say.
That's some weight.
How'd you get that in here, new guy?
Beats me.
You can go back to your bunk.
MACNAMARA: You. You're
going to the hole.
Let's go.
[METAL DOOR CLANGS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
[INDISTINCT PA]
[WHISPERING] Hey!
Thanks for not blowing my cover, pal.
- [CHARLIE CHUCKLES]
- Go on, buddy.
- Come on, pal.
- [REX WHINES]
Hi!
Hi.
Good to see you, pal.
[DONOVAN CHUCKLES]
How're you doing, huh?
How're you doing? Hope they're
feeding you better than me in here.
- [REX BARKS]
- Okay.
You've been in here less
than twenty-four hours
and already they've found
drugs and a blade on you?
You're fitting in a little too well.
The shank was a test. The drugs,
I think they would have
had to have been planted.
It was David's mattress.
Yeah.
Hey.
Thank you. So
Was David using?
- The man I knew?
- [REX SNIFFING]
No, but,
prison can change a person.
Oh. There's something also
going on in the laundry room.
Some of the inmates' bags
have a red string on them.
- It's some kind of code.
- Okay.
Rex and I will look into it.
Have you run into any other
suspects aside from Vic?
Well, Vic's man Nestor,
he gave me the shank.
Walt is circling.
Parker, I think he's using, but,
he hasn't given up his source yet.
Okay.
Twenty-four hours in
solitary confinement.
- [CHARLIE SIGHS]
- You going to be okay, Charlie?
It's gonna delay the investigation.
Give me that.
Let's go, bud.
[CHARLIE CHUCKLES] Thanks, buddy.
Go.
I'll get your shank
to Sarah for testing.
Here you go.
Okay?
- Go on.
- [REX WHINES]
- [CHARLIE CHUCKLES]
- Okay, come on.
Let's go.
Good boy. [DONOVAN KNOCKS]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
[DIAL TONE]
[KEYPAD BEEPING]
[PHONE BUZZING]
Charlie?
Hey, babe. You miss me?
Uh, yes.
Yes, I do.
Are you okay?
Yeah, you know. Best kind.
Um, hey so,
David's toxicology report
came back negative for drugs.
I analyzed his hair and fingernails,
there's no indication of past use.
Time's up, fish.
Who's that?
Oh, it's just somebody
patiently waiting their turn.
The drugs Rex found in
both the yard and your cot,
it's fentanyl laced with xylazine.
Recreational but potentially deadly.
- I said move on!
- [VIC GROANS]
- Charlie?
- Just one sec, babe.
Your friends are patiently waiting too.
WALT: Beat it!
Aghh!
Sweetheart, I'm sorry
about the interruption.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, where were we?
Um, the warden sent me a
collection of confiscated shanks,
so, I'm just trying to see
if any of them were made
by the same person as our murder weapon.
Have I ever told you you're
the hottest woman I've ever met?
[SARAH SIGHS]
How long can you keep this up?
Forever.
Hey babe, do you think
you could tell Joe
that I just saw an old buddy?
A buddy?
- Like an inmate?
- Yeah, you got it.
Okay. I'll call Joe.
Hey, you be careful.
I love ya, babe.
Phone's free. Oh.
You touch me again
and you're going to have to
have one of your stupid buddies
hold the phone up for you.
Enjoy.
Charlie Hudson.
What brings you here?
Ben Draper.
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
BEN: So,
what are you in for?
Possession.
[BEN LAUGHS]
- Possession?
- Mm-hmm.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
You undercover?
You spend four or five years, Draper,
lots can change in that time.
Yeah. Five years, eight
months, and thirteen days.
A lot's happened to me since you
and your canine sidekick put me in here.
I could tell you a few stories.
Mm-hmm.
But, uh, you?
You want me to believe you
gave up the suit and tie
and the shiny badge to
become a drug slinger?
Yeah, I wouldn't be the first.
Yeah, not that it matters.
- As soon as I say the word cop.
- Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Right.
You know how quickly I could
get you transferred out of here?
Maybe to a supermax.
You know how much I could say
between here and the
transport van, Detective?
It's all right. I'm gonna
keep your little secret.
For now.
What do you want?
All right.
Parole.
I can't get you parole, Draper.
Oh, I'm sure you can pull a few strings.
[CHARLIE SCOFFS]
- Get back to me.
- [BUZZER SOUNDS]
Detective.
Possession.
[DRAPER LAUGHS]
[REX GROWLS]
I'm as just surprised as you are, Joe.
Ben Draper was transferred
in late last night.
You shouldn't have accepted
any transfers without checking
with my team first.
Sometimes, urgent transfer
from other cell blocks
go through senior
Correctional Management.
How could I have stopped this?
Who signed off on the transfer?
[HELEN SIGHS] I'll look into it.
What do you want to do now?
Pull Ben Draper out?
[INDISTINCT PA]
No.
No, that's more likely
to blow Charlie's cover.
He's just gonna have to manage.
JESSE: Hey, Sarah, I swear,
I checked and I double
checked the prison list
to make sure there was nobody there
that Charlie so much as interviewed.
It's not your fault, Jesse.
Joe said that the transfer happened
after Charlie went in.
They didn't report it to the warden.
Do you think his cover is blown?
Well, Joe says not so far
but there's no way to
know what Ben might do.
Sarah, look,
if it gets too dangerous,
they'll pull him out.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Hey. Are these ?
Are these made with metal from a locker?
Good eye.
I've been analyzing the
weapons that were confiscated
at Deer Lake Correctional
over the past few months.
Each of these was confiscated
from different prisoners,
but they all match the murder weapon
and the shank that Nestor gave Charlie.
And you think these were
all made by the same person?
Yes, but Nestor wasn't
in the laundry room
when David was killed.
Oh, you know what? I got something, too.
So, it looks like David's ex-wife
had been receiving e-transfers
of five hundred dollars a month
ever since David was incarcerated.
- From David?
- No, his sister. Layla.
The logs show her visiting the prison
every couple of weeks.
So, maybe we were wrong about David.
Maybe he did have a source of cash.
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
The drugs they found weren't mine.
Save it for the hacks.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
Are we gonna have a problem?
I don't know, are we?
I just spent 24 hours in the
hole for somebody else's stash.
For all I know, it
could have been yours.
It wasn't.
It's the scum of the earth
anybody who pushes that poison.
That's a novel opinion for in here.
You see that young lady up there?
That's my daughter.
OD'd at 19-years-old.
Sorry.
Yeah, well,
you're a dealer.
What makes you any different
than the guy who gave my
daughter her last dose?
Okay, point taken.
The stash wasn't yours.
As far as I know, it belonged
to your last roommate.
My advice to you, my friend
is you better let it go.
That stash is gone.
If anyone's gonna pay for it,
it's gonna be that dog who found it.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
LAYLA: Yes, I sent David's
wife money every month.
Five hundred dollars.
Deposits that started coming
into your account six months ago.
What does this have to do with the
investigation into David's death?
Was David giving you that money?
He was in prison.
Where would he get five
hundred dollars a month?
Did he mention anything
to you about selling drugs?
No!
You think that's why he was killed?
- Damn it, David!
- [JESSE SIGHS]
[LAYLA SIGHS]
David's life insurance
agreed to pay out.
It wasn't much, but,
if they find out his death
resulted from criminal activity
They'll refuse to pay.
That life insurance money
is the only thing David left
for his wife and daughter.
I've been paying the premiums
since he went to jail.
But you're sure that money
wasn't coming from David?
I opened a second e-storefront
selling knock-off handbags
for some guy overseas.
So, David never gave you any cash?
He slipped me a few dollars
sometimes during visits.
Not much.
Did he tell you where
it was coming from?
He said he got it doing laundry.
I tried not to take it at first.
I told him to keep it
for commissary, but,
he needed to feel like he
could do something for me.
Okay.
Well, until we know for sure,
don't worry about the insurance money.
All right?
And Layla, um
Look, I'm a Major Crimes detective,
so this isn't really under my purview,
but knowingly distributing
counterfeit goods
is an indictable offense.
So, maybe don't.
Thank you.
[REX SNIFFING]
Come on, boy.
Find it.
[REX SNIFFING]
Come on, man. Seriously?
Find it.
- Find it, buddy.
- [REX SNIFFS]
[REX BARKS]
Come on, boy.
Find it.
[REX SNIFFS] [REX BARKS]
Sit.
Good boy.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[REX BARKS]
Good boy.
Rex found drugs coming into the prison
in a bag of laundry from Thorburn Lodge.
That's a long-term care facility.
Jesse, see if any of our suspects
have a connection to that place.
Look into staff and residents.
Yeah, I'm on it.
The drugs that Rex found
were the same ones in Charlie's bed
which was David's cot.
Did you look into his sister?
Yeah, Layla said she was
raising the extra money herself
to cover David's life insurance.
Said David was making
some cash at the laundry?
[DONOVAN SIGHS]
DONOVAN: Also we noticed
that some of the prisoners
had red strings tied
around their laundry bags.
Oh, that.
- It's the Maytag Man system.
- I'm sorry?
Sometimes when inmates
have visitors coming,
they want good laundry
soap, pressed clothes.
It makes visits easier.
Right, so the string
signals special treatment?
Inmates that are assigned to laundry
can make a few bucks
offering the service.
It's underground but we've
never had a problem with it.
And that's how David made the
extra money he sent to his sister.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
That damn dog.
Found stuff in the laundry room today.
If supply dries up, there'll
be a lot of unhappy people.
So, we're going to take care of the dog.
Go.
Come.
Hey, fish.
Don't think that I forgot about you.
Yeah we'll dance again.
Promises, promises.
[SIREN WAILING]
DONOVAN: Okay! Everyone line up!
Yard time's over!
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
Watch where you're going, punk.
[REX BARKING]
- Back in line!
- Ughh!
- Ughh!
- [INMATES YELLING]
Come on!
[REX BARKING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Twelve stitches!
It'll make for a good scar.
The knife nicked your brachial artery.
You're lucky that they got
you into surgery in time.
- I know.
- [SARAH SIGHS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
I can't sleep in here. I can't eat.
I miss you and Rex.
I just didn't think it
would get to me this quickly.
Okay. Let's end this Charlie.
Listen, we have the drugs.
Jesse's looking into Thorburn Lodge.
No.
No, David knew about the drugs.
Whoever was bringing them
in to the prison killed him.
So, you think that
Parker's attempt on Rex
means that he's connected
to the laundry smuggling?
No.
But I think he knows who is.
[PARKER CRYING]
- [BUZZER SOUNDS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
Whoa, whoah, whoah! Oh my God!
[REX BARKING]
What are you doing in here?
Isn't there supposed to
be another guard with you?
The watch commander is a dog lover.
He said that I could
talk to you by myself.
Oh God, no.
[REX BARKING AND GROWLING]
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Stop stop stop!
You'd better explain yourself.
- And make it quick.
- I didn't want to hurt the dog
or Chuck, it's just
- That's not what it looked like.
- [REX GROWLING]
You don't understand.
For someone like me,
it's hard to just
No, I get it.
You need your fix, right?
Then we come in here,
find the drugs,
turn off the tap
- Is that what your friend Dave did?
- Hmmm?
David? No, no, no, no, no. He was
He worked the laundry.
Maybe he saw the drugs come in. Hmm?
Guy like him,
maybe he wanted to tell the guards.
- How do you know that?
- Don't worry about it.
Where'd you get the weapon?
The weapon?
The knife you came after my dog with.
No no no no no. No no no no no no no no.
- Someone gave it to me.
- Who?
- Who?
- [REX BARKS]
I I I tell you and I'm dead!
With the kind of charges
you're looking at,
you're going to end
up in maximum security.
Is that what you want?
You're not just some
dog handler, are you?
- Ughh!
- Stay focused!
[PARKER TREMBLING]
Where did you get the weapon?
- Someone gave it to me!
- Who?
I I
Who?!
The new guy!
Ben something!
He threatened to kill me
if I didn't stop the dog!
I don't think Ben Draper's
transfer was an accident.
Within days of arriving,
he's calling the shots.
I think that he was sent here
to run the drug operation.
[HELEN SIGHS] That implicates staff.
No inmate could arrange
a transfer without help.
Who approved the transfer?
The paperwork says it was Tom MacNamara.
Tom MacNamara?
He was one of the guards who
was there when David was killed.
Hang on. I've known
Tom for over ten years.
Outside these walls, he's a
family man with a wife and child.
I don't care.
He's not a drug smuggler.
You just keep him away
from Charlie and Rex
until we know for sure.
[REX GRUNTS]
It's okay, buddy.
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[REX BARKING]
Turn around!
Hands behind your back!
- Hands behind your back!
- Yeah!
Down.
- Got something on you, inmate? Huh?
- Easy.
Ben ordered the hit on Rex.
Parker doesn't know
who Ben's working for.
- Let's go.
- See, nothing.
- Dog's defective.
- Just watch your mouth.
Come on, buddy.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Get lost.
[CHARLIE SNAPS FINGERS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
So, how's that parole request coming?
- Yeah, I'm working on it.
- Yeah.
But you're going to need to give
up who you're working for in here.
Not sure what you mean.
Mm-hmm.
We have a handful of suspects
in this drug operation.
Had to be somebody that
you met on the inside.
How long do you think it's gonna take us
to cross-reference those names
against your previous prisons?
Even if you find that person,
you're going to need
me to make a statement
about what he asked me to do.
Which I'm happy to do.
Once I'm on the outside.
- You killed a child.
- Hey.
Right. Nobody in here knows that, huh?
They find out, how do
you think that's gonna go?
- [BEN SIGHS]
- Look, let's be serious, Draper.
Nobody is giving you parole
with only six years in prison.
Then I have no choice but
to make it work in here.
[TENSE MUSIC]
So, uh, Chucky over
there is a detective.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
You and me need to have
a little chat, Detective.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SIREN WAILING]
Hey, listen man,
who are you? Who are you?
- What did he tell you?
- He said you're a cop.
I am a cop.
I'm looking for who killed David Aziz.
Do you know who that was?
I don't know who killed him.
Aghh.
Would you tell me if you did?
David was a good guy.
I liked him, man.
He was one of the few guys in here
who kept his kindness.
Yeah. For him, I would tell you.
So, if it wasn't you, then it was
one of the other guys in the fight.
Walt or Parker?
- Yeah.
- No.
Neither of those guys are gonna do
something that stupid with no reason.
David knew about the drugs.
Whoever was smuggling them in,
they had reason to kill him.
The drugs are coming in for Walt.
How do you know that?
I came in from the yard a little early.
I found him in here trying to
toss the place. I booted him out.
Because he was looking for the drugs
that were in David's bunk.
That's what I figured when
you said they weren't yours.
Okay, so, David
took the drugs from the laundry
maybe as proof.
Either that or he was trying
to take them out of circulation.
He didn't like to see people
use any more than I do.
David wanted to tell
the warden something.
But before he could, Walt found out that
he had taken the stash. It makes sense.
That's exactly why Walt started
the fight in the laundry room
to begin with. He
wanted to get to David.
Except it couldn't have been Walt.
- Why?
- Because I had my arm on his throat.
I had him on the wall.
If he had a shank, he
would have used it on me.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
So, if it wasn't Walt, then,
maybe it was a setup.
David had bruises.
He was beaten the night before he died.
But that was after lockup.
- Mm-hmm.
- It was just you and David in here.
- Yeah.
- And if it wasn't you
Yeah.
It was a guard.
JESSE: Sarah! I got it.
A connection between
MacNamara and Thorburn Lodge?
Yeah. His cousin's a
personal care worker there.
The cousin puts his drugs in the laundry
and MacNamara gets a cut.
Didn't show up in his financials
but if he's smart, he's using cash.
So, the guard's been
in on it the whole time.
I'm gonna call Joe and the warden.
HELEN: Tom MacNamara!
This is your drug dealer, all right?
- He just confessed to me!
- Let him go, Mac.
- WALT: Son of a
- [MEN GRUNTING]
Guards!
DONOVAN: Rex, go!
[MEN GRUNTING]
WALT: Aghhh!
[REX BARKING]
[INMATES CLAMOURING]
DONOVAN: Turn around.
Get your hands behind your back!
Get your hands behind your back!
[CUFFS CLINKING]
You don't see that often.
A K9 take-down?
Justice!
- [REX WHINES]
- CHARLIE: Hey, come on.
Hey, Rex, hi.
Hey. Good job.
[CUFFS CLINKING]
Let's go.
Come on.
GUARD: Back off!
[HELEN SCOFFS]
Okay, thank you.
Ben Draper's been transferred
back where he came from.
And Walt will be charged?
For distributing, and
accessory to murder.
Parker has already signed a statement
and I've got him in a
new treatment program.
Good.
Tell your team I said thank you.
I will.
I've put in for a new dog
and handler right away.
Well, get a professional
handler next time.
Oh. I plan to.
[THEY CHUCKLE]
Why did it happen?
We think that David was concerned
about the drugs in prison
and he wanted to do
something to help stop it.
He was killed to keep him quiet.
Yeah.
That sounds like
something David would do.
[REX WHINES]
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[SOFT MUSIC]
What's this?
David had a lot of
friends in prison and,
they wanted you to
know who he was to them.
[REX WHINES]
Will you read them with me?
[REX WHINES]
We'd love to.
[LAYLA SNIFFS]
[CLOSING THEME MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
No, I've got this one, Nestor.
- You looking for trouble?
- No, not at all.
Nestor.
- Just take another bag.
- Leave him alone.
I gotta hit the head anyway.
WALT: Hey, Vic.
[VIC GRUNTS]
You call that clean?
Wash it again, man.
Everybody's laundry gets
treated the same, Walt.
Some stink just don't come out.
[WALT LAUGHS COLDLY]
Yeah, you and me need to go have a talk.
Oh yeah, what do you want to talk about?
You shouldn't be in here, Walt.
PARKER: Hey. I forgot this.
Parker.
You're behind on your payments.
What are we going to do about that?
[CHAIR OVERTURNS]
- Okay.
- David!
David!
[INMATE GRUNTS]
DAVID: Come on, Walt, you're
gonna get us written up!
- WALT: Stay out of it, man.
- David!
[INMATES YELLING]
MACNAMARA: Hey, hey, hey!
Cut it out! Get off of him!
Get back! Back off! Back off!
Break it up! Everybody out of the way!
Get down!
Down! On your knees!
Hands behind your head!
Down on your knees!
Get down on your knees!
Hands behind your head! Nobody move!
Aziz, get down!
[DAVID MOANS]
What's wrong with you?
What happened?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I need a medic!
Code four!
Laundry room! A medic!
Code four, laundry room!
DISPATCH: Copy that, code four.
It's okay, David.
Help is coming, all right?
Hang in there.
[DAVID SHUDDERS]
[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
CHARLIE: Ahhh, come on, come on, buddy!
- [REX GROWLS]
- Yeah come on, come on!
Okay, you have the towel.
- OFFICER: Detective?
- Yeah.
A lady here to see you.
Hi.
Layla Aziz.
I'm David's sister.
Oh yes, Layla. Um
We spoke at the courthouse
during your brother's trial.
Have you heard?
Sorry?
My brother was killed.
What?
In prison,
where you put him.
They murdered him.
Are you happy?
No. Wh
- Layla.
- He didn't deserve that.
He had less than a year
and he was supposed to
be back with his family.
Yeah, I know. David's
a good man.
But you had to charge him.
- Yes.
- It's not right.
What am I supposed to tell his daughter?
[REX WHINES]
I spoke with the warden.
She said that David stepped into a fight
to try and break it up.
There are multiple prisoners involved.
Do we have any idea who did it?
No, no. They said it was impossible
to identify who it was that killed him
and that nobody's talking.
He was
stabbed in the heart.
David Aziz.
Robin Hood with a dog, right?
[REX BARKS]
Yeah.
Stole to recover funds
from a corrupt stockbroker.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
He was a good guy.
And he had a little kid.
Look, you cannot take
this on yourself, Charlie.
I want to find out who did this.
Okay.
Okay, I'll make some phone calls.
[REX WHINES]
CHARLIE: What do you mean,
the investigation's complete?
It's been two days.
What are the findings, Warden Gage?
Helen, please.
Three inmates in close
proximity to the victim
at the time of the assault.
Several bystanders cleared of suspicion.
Three guards responded.
A weapon found at the scene. A shank.
Taped handle.
We were unable to
recover any fingerprints.
Who started the fight
in the first place?
Detective, what do you
hope to gain by this?
We don't think that this
was a targeted at David.
There was no motive against him.
That you know of.
He was in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
So, case closed.
[HELEN SIGHS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
David's death was a tragedy
but it's not even the first
death I have seen this year.
We are short-staffed.
We are underfunded.
- We have a rampant drug problem.
- Warden.
Helen.
We know how hard you're working on this
and we're sure that you want
answers as badly as we do.
HELEN: Of course I do!
But the fact is, no one is talking.
And there's very little
I can do to compel them.
My team can figure this out.
Please, let us help you.
So, the warden just handed
over the investigation report?
Yeah, with a little
sweet-talking from Joe.
Hey, Jesse, can you look
into everything you can
- on outside resources for me?
- Outside resources?
Prisoners' friends and
family on the outside.
- Yeah, gotcha.
- Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I had a chance to review
David Aziz' autopsy
and talk to the coroner.
As per the initial report, he
died of traumatic cardiac injury.
Here, I'll show you the weapon.
Sharp, thin blade, about 5 inches long.
Blood matches David's
and the weapon matches the wound.
There were also multiple
bruises on David's torso.
That wasn't in the investigation report.
No, they were sustained
before the fight.
- About 12 hours earlier.
- That was at 2:00 PM.
Twelve hours before that, he would
have still been locked in his cell.
Ah.
I don't suppose there were any
cameras in the laundry room?
Our system's been down.
We've been having some
trouble getting it replaced.
What about phone and video logs?
HELEN: Sure.
- I can get you those.
- JESSE: Great.
Okay, so here are the
guys that were in the fight
when David was killed.
This is Vic Mason.
He's 15 years into a
stretch for homicide.
And Walt Larson.
He's halfway through
a seven-year stretch
for aggravated assault.
Both leaders. We normally
keep them separated.
But Walt slipped some cash to a guard
to look the other way when
he went into the laundry room.
Yes, that guard has been suspended.
Who's this guy, Parker Colson?
HELEN: Parker was a friend of David's.
Anxious type.
Not violent, as far as I know.
Did David have a cellmate?
Yes, Vic Mason. Why?
It appears he was beaten the
night before he was killed.
Yeah, presumably while
he was locked in his cell.
So, if Vic had a problem with David,
perhaps this fight
gave him an opportunity.
HELEN: There is something else.
I don't know if it's relevant
but David had requested
a meeting with me.
Is that unusual?
Normally, inmates just talk
to the correction officers
and my officers keep me up to date.
Maybe he wanted to report something?
After last month's overdose,
I had asked the inmates for information
about the drug trade.
No one's come forward.
Wouldn't that be snitching?
Well, that could be the motive.
Maybe his moral code dictated
that whatever he had to say
was important enough to take the risk.
Which leaves us with the
question of what he knew.
Unfortunately, if
that's why he was killed,
his death would just
emphasize to everyone else there
the danger of talking.
Those witnesses, they're
never gonna talk to you,
but they may talk to one of their own.
- You want to plant a snitch?
- No.
No, jailhouse snitches
are notoriously unreliable.
No, not a snitch. Me.
No.
[REX WHINES]
JESSE: Charlie. How
many inmates have been placed
in the Deer Lake
Correctional by you and Rex?
So, we transfer them out.
HELEN: That's just
about maintaining cover.
I couldn't possibly guarantee
your safety on the inside.
I'll take the risk. You give me access
and I'll find out who killed David.
- Absolutely not.
- CHARLIE: I'll also find out
how drugs are getting
inside your prison.
What about Rex?
- Hmm?
- [REX WHINES]
You can't just walk in there with him.
No, I can't.

This is Deer Lake Correctional.

Stay, boy.
What's a dog doing in here?
It's contraband detection detail.
Get used to it, gentlemen.
Find it.

Back up.
Find it.
[TENSE MUSIC]
- Find it, boy.
- [REX SNIFFING]
Good boy. Come on. Find it.
What have you got,
pal? You got something?
Hmm?
- [REX BARKS]
- Oh, okay.
On your feet.
Turn out your pockets.
See?
Nothing there.
You come in contact with
any narcotics recently?
No, sir.
On your way.
Easy, let's go.
[REX WHINES]
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
Welcome to Block 4A kid.
Watch your back. Follow the rules.
You'll get by.
[INMATES APPLAUD AND WHISTLE]
Show us what you got, fish.
Ah, this isn't my first time.
- It's the first time on this range.
- Mmm.
Yeah, what makes it so special, huh?
Well, I'm here, ain't I?
- INMATE: Yeah, Walt!
- [REX BARKS]
- [INMATES APPLAUD]
- INMATE: Tell him, Walt!
This fresh jumpsuit here.
Thinks he's got it all covered, hmm?
All right, enough socializing.
- Let's go.
- Later.
Yeah, you bet.

[MACNAMARA KNOCKS]
MACNAMARA: Vic.
This is Chuck Dolan.
Hey.
He does talk. He just
doesn't do it very often.
Isn't that right, Vic?
You can take the top bunk.
Meals are on the range.
Trays'll be coming by around dinner.
You can eat in your cell but
you've got to keep it clean
or you're gonna get bugs.
What are you in for?
Possession with intent.
[VIC GRUNTS]
- You?
- Homicide.
Guy a lot like you.
Drug dealer.
Get it out of your system?
[VIC SCOFFS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
MACNAMARA: You sidestep your story
but this is the second time
I get the exact same
complaint about you.
Next time you're in the yard with them,
do not make eye contact.
Do not cross paths.
Do not speak to them.
Stay at the other end.
Mind your business.
[VIC GRUNTS]
Who's your friend?
This here is Nestor.
MACNAMARA: Am I clear with you?
Vic, Nestor.
Down here.
Mac likes to check up on us.
MACNAMARA: With the trouble you cause,
I'll be watching till you mess up again.
Won't be long.
Anything you find on me is a plant.
I'd say find a better
class of friends, bud.
You're all out of luck in here.
You want this back?
Why don't you hold on to that for us?
What if I get caught?
Don't get caught.
SARAH: We're looking for a suspect
with a drug connection to the outside.
How about this guy?
Okay, Parker.
In for burglary. No visitors.
Calls to his brother in Calgary.
Regular deposits of a
hundred dollars a month
into his commissary account.
His prison record notes
prior drug addiction.
He did the methadone maintenance program
- when he was first incarcerated.
- Hmm.
Yeah, there's no sign that Parker
has anyone smuggling for him.
That just leaves Walt and Vic.
Okay, Walt's got a wife, Stephanie.
Regular visits and calls.
She's a live one. I'll
look into her more closely.
And what about Vic?
As far as I know, Vic's
got no one on the outside.
CHARLIE: Hey.
Uh
They sent me down here,
looking for Parker.
That's me.
Put me to work.
You start with inmate laundry then that.
Prison has contracts with
hospitals, care facilities.
It's how you make a little money.
So, I'll start with this one?
That one's mine.
No problem.
You know how to work these machines?
Can't be too hard, right?
It's not the worst job I've ever had.
Hey, I saw you,
you were buying something
out in the yard earlier.
What are you talking about?
I'm not going to tell anybody.
Just, um
looking for a hookup.
I'll think about it.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
Hey, are you looking into the guards
who were in the laundry room as well?
Yeah, I figured I may as
well, just to eliminate them.
The warden said they've
cracked down on visitors
and they're checking all the mail.
It could be easier for staff
to smuggle in contraband.
You know, I wonder what's
in it for them? I mean,
if prisoners can't pay cash,
then who's paying for the
drugs on the outside though?
Well, one of these outside resources.
And then whoever's
distributing them inside
takes payment in cigarettes
or commissary credit?
Yeah, yeah. Oh you know what?
I did read that prisoners in the States
are using cash apps
for buying and selling.
I'll look into it and see
if it's happening here.
[INDISTINCT PA]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Good job, buddy.
[DONOVAN LAUGHS]
[REX BARKS]
MACNAMARA: Well, well, well!
What have we here?
Where'd that come from?
That's not mine.
That's what they all say.
That's some weight.
How'd you get that in here, new guy?
Beats me.
You can go back to your bunk.

going to the hole.

- [REX WHINES]
Hi!
Hi.
Good to see you, pal.
[DONOVAN CHUCKLES]
How're you doing, huh?
How're you doing? Hope they're
feeding you better than me in here.
- [REX BARKS]
- Okay.
You've been in here less
than twenty-four hours
and already they've found
drugs and a blade on you?
You're fitting in a little too well.
The shank was a test. The drugs,
I think they would have
had to have been planted.
It was David's mattress.
Yeah.
Hey.
Thank you. So
Was David using?
- The man I knew?
- [REX SNIFFING]
No, but,
prison can change a person.
Oh. There's something also
going on in the laundry room.
Some of the inmates' bags
have a red string on them.
- It's some kind of code.
- Okay.
Rex and I will look into it.
Have you run into any other
suspects aside from Vic?
Well, Vic's man Nestor,
he gave me the shank.
Walt is circling.
Parker, I think he's using, but,
he hasn't given up his source yet.
Okay.
Twenty-four hours in
solitary confinement.
- [CHARLIE SIGHS]
- You going to be okay, Charlie?
It's gonna delay the investigation.
Give me that.
Let's go, bud.
[CHARLIE CHUCKLES] Thanks, buddy.
Go.
I'll get your shank
to Sarah for testing.
Here you go.
Okay?
- Go on.
- [REX WHINES]
- [CHARLIE CHUCKLES]

Hey, babe. You miss me?

Are you okay?
Yeah, you know. Best kind.
Um, hey so,
David's toxicology report
came back negative for drugs.
I analyzed his hair and fingernails,
there's no indication of past use.
Time's up, fish.
Who's that?
Oh, it's just somebody
patiently waiting their turn.
The drugs Rex found in
both the yard and your cot,
it's fentanyl laced with xylazine.
Recreational but potentially deadly.
- I said move on!
- [VIC GROANS]
- Charlie?
- Just one sec, babe.
Your friends are patiently waiting too.
WALT: Beat it!
Aghh!
Sweetheart, I'm sorry
about the interruption.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, where were we?
Um, the warden sent me a
collection of confiscated shanks,
so, I'm just trying to see
if any of them were made
by the same person as our murder weapon.
Have I ever told you you're
the hottest woman I've ever met?
[SARAH SIGHS]
How long can you keep this up?
Forever.
Hey babe, do you think
you could tell Joe
that I just saw an old buddy?
A buddy?
- Like an inmate?
- Yeah, you got it.
Okay. I'll call Joe.
Hey, you be careful.
I love ya, babe.
Phone's free. Oh.
You touch me again
and you're going to have to
have one of your stupid buddies
hold the phone up for you.
Enjoy.
Charlie Hudson.
What brings you here?
Ben Draper.
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
BEN: So,
what are you in for?
Possession.
[BEN LAUGHS]
- Possession?
- Mm-hmm.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
You undercover?
You spend four or five years, Draper,
lots can change in that time.
Yeah. Five years, eight
months, and thirteen days.
A lot's happened to me since you
and your canine sidekick put me in here.
I could tell you a few stories.
Mm-hmm.
But, uh, you?
You want me to believe you
gave up the suit and tie
and the shiny badge to
become a drug slinger?
Yeah, I wouldn't be the first.
Yeah, not that it matters.
- As soon as I say the word cop.
- Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Right.
You know how quickly I could
get you transferred out of here?
Maybe to a supermax.
You know how much I could say
between here and the
transport van, Detective?
It's all right. I'm gonna
keep your little secret.
For now.
What do you want?
All right.
Parole.
I can't get you parole, Draper.
Oh, I'm sure you can pull a few strings.
[CHARLIE SCOFFS]
- Get back to me.
- [BUZZER SOUNDS]
Detective.
Possession.
[DRAPER LAUGHS]
[REX GROWLS]
I'm as just surprised as you are, Joe.
Ben Draper was transferred
in late last night.
You shouldn't have accepted
any transfers without checking
with my team first.
Sometimes, urgent transfer
from other cell blocks
go through senior
Correctional Management.
How could I have stopped this?
Who signed off on the transfer?
[HELEN SIGHS] I'll look into it.
What do you want to do now?
Pull Ben Draper out?
[INDISTINCT PA]
No.
No, that's more likely
to blow Charlie's cover.
He's just gonna have to manage.
JESSE: Hey, Sarah, I swear,
I checked and I double
checked the prison list
to make sure there was nobody there
that Charlie so much as interviewed.
It's not your fault, Jesse.
Joe said that the transfer happened
after Charlie went in.
They didn't report it to the warden.
Do you think his cover is blown?
Well, Joe says not so far
but there's no way to
know what Ben might do.
Sarah, look,
if it gets too dangerous,
they'll pull him out.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Hey. Are these ?
Are these made with metal from a locker?
Good eye.
I've been analyzing the
weapons that were confiscated
at Deer Lake Correctional
over the past few months.
Each of these was confiscated
from different prisoners,
but they all match the murder weapon
and the shank that Nestor gave Charlie.
And you think these were
all made by the same person?
Yes, but Nestor wasn't
in the laundry room
when David was killed.
Oh, you know what? I got something, too.
So, it looks like David's ex-wife
had been receiving e-transfers
of five hundred dollars a month
ever since David was incarcerated.
- From David?
- No, his sister. Layla.
The logs show her visiting the prison
every couple of weeks.
So, maybe we were wrong about David.
Maybe he did have a source of cash.
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
The drugs they found weren't mine.
Save it for the hacks.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
Are we gonna have a problem?
I don't know, are we?
I just spent 24 hours in the
hole for somebody else's stash.
For all I know, it
could have been yours.
It wasn't.
It's the scum of the earth
anybody who pushes that poison.
That's a novel opinion for in here.
You see that young lady up there?
That's my daughter.
OD'd at 19-years-old.
Sorry.
Yeah, well,
you're a dealer.
What makes you any different
than the guy who gave my
daughter her last dose?
Okay, point taken.
The stash wasn't yours.
As far as I know, it belonged
to your last roommate.
My advice to you, my friend
is you better let it go.
That stash is gone.
If anyone's gonna pay for it,
it's gonna be that dog who found it.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
LAYLA: Yes, I sent David's
wife money every month.
Five hundred dollars.
Deposits that started coming
into your account six months ago.
What does this have to do with the
investigation into David's death?
Was David giving you that money?
He was in prison.
Where would he get five
hundred dollars a month?
Did he mention anything
to you about selling drugs?
No!
You think that's why he was killed?
- Damn it, David!
- [JESSE SIGHS]
[LAYLA SIGHS]
David's life insurance
agreed to pay out.
It wasn't much, but,
if they find out his death
resulted from criminal activity
They'll refuse to pay.
That life insurance money
is the only thing David left
for his wife and daughter.
I've been paying the premiums
since he went to jail.
But you're sure that money
wasn't coming from David?
I opened a second e-storefront
selling knock-off handbags
for some guy overseas.
So, David never gave you any cash?
He slipped me a few dollars
sometimes during visits.
Not much.
Did he tell you where
it was coming from?
He said he got it doing laundry.
I tried not to take it at first.
I told him to keep it
for commissary, but,
he needed to feel like he
could do something for me.
Okay.
Well, until we know for sure,
don't worry about the insurance money.
All right?
And Layla, um
Look, I'm a Major Crimes detective,
so this isn't really under my purview,
but knowingly distributing
counterfeit goods
is an indictable offense.
So, maybe don't.
Thank you.
[REX SNIFFING]
Come on, boy.
Find it.
[REX SNIFFING]
Come on, man. Seriously?
Find it.
- Find it, buddy.
- [REX SNIFFS]
[REX BARKS]
Come on, boy.
Find it.
[REX SNIFFS] [REX BARKS]
Sit.
Good boy.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[REX BARKS]
Good boy.
Rex found drugs coming into the prison
in a bag of laundry from Thorburn Lodge.
That's a long-term care facility.
Jesse, see if any of our suspects
have a connection to that place.
Look into staff and residents.
Yeah, I'm on it.
The drugs that Rex found
were the same ones in Charlie's bed
which was David's cot.
Did you look into his sister?
Yeah, Layla said she was
raising the extra money herself
to cover David's life insurance.
Said David was making
some cash at the laundry?
[DONOVAN SIGHS]
DONOVAN: Also we noticed
that some of the prisoners
had red strings tied
around their laundry bags.
Oh, that.
- It's the Maytag Man system.
- I'm sorry?
Sometimes when inmates
have visitors coming,
they want good laundry
soap, pressed clothes.
It makes visits easier.
Right, so the string
signals special treatment?
Inmates that are assigned to laundry
can make a few bucks
offering the service.
It's underground but we've
never had a problem with it.
And that's how David made the
extra money he sent to his sister.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
That damn dog.
Found stuff in the laundry room today.
If supply dries up, there'll
be a lot of unhappy people.
So, we're going to take care of the dog.
Go.
Come.
Hey, fish.
Don't think that I forgot about you.
Yeah we'll dance again.
Promises, promises.
[SIREN WAILING]
DONOVAN: Okay! Everyone line up!
Yard time's over!
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
Watch where you're going, punk.
[REX BARKING]
- Back in line!
- Ughh!
- Ughh!
- [INMATES YELLING]
Come on!
[REX BARKING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Twelve stitches!
It'll make for a good scar.
The knife nicked your brachial artery.
You're lucky that they got
you into surgery in time.
- I know.
- [SARAH SIGHS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
I can't sleep in here. I can't eat.
I miss you and Rex.
I just didn't think it
would get to me this quickly.
Okay. Let's end this Charlie.
Listen, we have the drugs.
Jesse's looking into Thorburn Lodge.
No.
No, David knew about the drugs.
Whoever was bringing them
in to the prison killed him.
So, you think that
Parker's attempt on Rex
means that he's connected
to the laundry smuggling?
No.
But I think he knows who is.
[PARKER CRYING]
- [BUZZER SOUNDS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
Whoa, whoah, whoah! Oh my God!
[REX BARKING]
What are you doing in here?
Isn't there supposed to
be another guard with you?
The watch commander is a dog lover.
He said that I could
talk to you by myself.
Oh God, no.
[REX BARKING AND GROWLING]
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Stop stop stop!
You'd better explain yourself.
- And make it quick.
- I didn't want to hurt the dog
or Chuck, it's just
- That's not what it looked like.
- [REX GROWLING]
You don't understand.
For someone like me,
it's hard to just
No, I get it.
You need your fix, right?
Then we come in here,
find the drugs,
turn off the tap
- Is that what your friend Dave did?
- Hmmm?
David? No, no, no, no, no. He was
He worked the laundry.
Maybe he saw the drugs come in. Hmm?
Guy like him,
maybe he wanted to tell the guards.
- How do you know that?
- Don't worry about it.
Where'd you get the weapon?
The weapon?
The knife you came after my dog with.
No no no no no. No no no no no no no no.
- Someone gave it to me.
- Who?
- Who?
- [REX BARKS]
I I I tell you and I'm dead!
With the kind of charges
you're looking at,
you're going to end
up in maximum security.
Is that what you want?
You're not just some
dog handler, are you?
- Ughh!
- Stay focused!
[PARKER TREMBLING]
Where did you get the weapon?
- Someone gave it to me!
- Who?
I I
Who?!
The new guy!
Ben something!
He threatened to kill me
if I didn't stop the dog!
I don't think Ben Draper's
transfer was an accident.
Within days of arriving,
he's calling the shots.
I think that he was sent here
to run the drug operation.
[HELEN SIGHS] That implicates staff.
No inmate could arrange
a transfer without help.
Who approved the transfer?
The paperwork says it was Tom MacNamara.
Tom MacNamara?
He was one of the guards who
was there when David was killed.
Hang on. I've known
Tom for over ten years.
Outside these walls, he's a
family man with a wife and child.
I don't care.
He's not a drug smuggler.
You just keep him away
from Charlie and Rex
until we know for sure.
[REX GRUNTS]
It's okay, buddy.
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[REX BARKING]
Turn around!
Hands behind your back!
- Hands behind your back!
- Yeah!
Down.
- Got something on you, inmate? Huh?
- Easy.
Ben ordered the hit on Rex.
Parker doesn't know
who Ben's working for.
- Let's go.
- See, nothing.
- Dog's defective.
- Just watch your mouth.
Come on, buddy.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Get lost.
[CHARLIE SNAPS FINGERS]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
So, how's that parole request coming?
- Yeah, I'm working on it.
- Yeah.
But you're going to need to give
up who you're working for in here.
Not sure what you mean.
Mm-hmm.
We have a handful of suspects
in this drug operation.
Had to be somebody that
you met on the inside.
How long do you think it's gonna take us
to cross-reference those names
against your previous prisons?
Even if you find that person,
you're going to need
me to make a statement
about what he asked me to do.
Which I'm happy to do.
Once I'm on the outside.
- You killed a child.
- Hey.
Right. Nobody in here knows that, huh?
They find out, how do
you think that's gonna go?
- [BEN SIGHS]
- Look, let's be serious, Draper.
Nobody is giving you parole
with only six years in prison.
Then I have no choice but
to make it work in here.
[TENSE MUSIC]
So, uh, Chucky over
there is a detective.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
You and me need to have
a little chat, Detective.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SIREN WAILING]
Hey, listen man,
who are you? Who are you?
- What did he tell you?
- He said you're a cop.
I am a cop.
I'm looking for who killed David Aziz.
Do you know who that was?
I don't know who killed him.
Aghh.
Would you tell me if you did?
David was a good guy.
I liked him, man.
He was one of the few guys in here
who kept his kindness.
Yeah. For him, I would tell you.
So, if it wasn't you, then it was
one of the other guys in the fight.
Walt or Parker?
- Yeah.
- No.
Neither of those guys are gonna do
something that stupid with no reason.
David knew about the drugs.
Whoever was smuggling them in,
they had reason to kill him.
The drugs are coming in for Walt.
How do you know that?
I came in from the yard a little early.
I found him in here trying to
toss the place. I booted him out.
Because he was looking for the drugs
that were in David's bunk.
That's what I figured when
you said they weren't yours.
Okay, so, David
took the drugs from the laundry
maybe as proof.
Either that or he was trying
to take them out of circulation.
He didn't like to see people
use any more than I do.
David wanted to tell
the warden something.
But before he could, Walt found out that
he had taken the stash. It makes sense.
That's exactly why Walt started
the fight in the laundry room
to begin with. He
wanted to get to David.
Except it couldn't have been Walt.
- Why?
- Because I had my arm on his throat.
I had him on the wall.
If he had a shank, he
would have used it on me.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
So, if it wasn't Walt, then,
maybe it was a setup.
David had bruises.
He was beaten the night before he died.
But that was after lockup.
- Mm-hmm.
- It was just you and David in here.
- Yeah.
- And if it wasn't you
Yeah.
It was a guard.
JESSE: Sarah! I got it.
A connection between
MacNamara and Thorburn Lodge?
Yeah. His cousin's a
personal care worker there.
The cousin puts his drugs in the laundry
and MacNamara gets a cut.
Didn't show up in his financials
but if he's smart, he's using cash.
So, the guard's been
in on it the whole time.
I'm gonna call Joe and the warden.
HELEN: Tom MacNamara!
This is your drug dealer, all right?
- He just confessed to me!
- Let him go, Mac.
- WALT: Son of a
- [MEN GRUNTING]
Guards!
DONOVAN: Rex, go!
[MEN GRUNTING]
WALT: Aghhh!
[REX BARKING]
[INMATES CLAMOURING]
DONOVAN: Turn around.
Get your hands behind your back!
Get your hands behind your back!
[CUFFS CLINKING]
You don't see that often.
A K9 take-down?
Justice!
- [REX WHINES]
- CHARLIE: Hey, come on.
Hey, Rex, hi.
Hey. Good job.
[CUFFS CLINKING]
Let's go.
Come on.
GUARD: Back off!
[HELEN SCOFFS]
Okay, thank you.
Ben Draper's been transferred
back where he came from.
And Walt will be charged?
For distributing, and
accessory to murder.
Parker has already signed a statement
and I've got him in a
new treatment program.
Good.
Tell your team I said thank you.
I will.
I've put in for a new dog
and handler right away.
Well, get a professional
handler next time.
Oh. I plan to.
[THEY CHUCKLE]
Why did it happen?
We think that David was concerned
about the drugs in prison
and he wanted to do
something to help stop it.
He was killed to keep him quiet.
Yeah.
That sounds like
something David would do.
[REX WHINES]
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[SOFT MUSIC]
What's this?
David had a lot of
friends in prison and,
they wanted you to
know who he was to them.
[REX WHINES]
Will you read them with me?
[REX WHINES]
We'd love to.
