Hudson and Rex (2019) s06e12 Episode Script

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
[DISTANT SIREN]
Gabriel.
Are you coming?
I know you're mad at me
but this is important.
I don't know who else to talk to!
Please!
[FOOTSTEPS]
Gabriel?
[GUNSHOT]
[GUNSHOT]
[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO]
[POLICE SIREN]
Morning, Truong.
What do we have?
Lori Myers.
Thirty-one years old.
Hygienist at the dental office here.
Two gunshot wounds to the chest.
Stating the obvious there?
Estimated time of death is
between 6:00 PM and midnight.
And also it looks like somebody
stepped in the blood here.
I did notice that the shoe print
doesn't match the victim's.
[DOOR OPENS]
Are we done here? I'd like to go home.
Oh, you're not going home anytime soon.
- Stand up, please.
- GABRIEL: I don't understand.
- I'm innocent!
- PORTER: Gabriel Garcia,
at this time I am
placing you under arrest.
The charge is first degree murder.
But I didn't do it!
You have the right to
retain and instruct counsel
in private and without delay. Let's go.
I didn't do it! I didn't kill her!
- PORTER: Come on, let's go.
- GABRIEL: You've made a mistake!
[DOOR OPENING]
[INDISTINCT OFFICE CHATTER]
- SARAH: See you at home.
- Okay.
- JESSE: Hey, Charlie.
- Yeah.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- SARAH: What are you ?
- OFFICER: Drop the weapon!
- [REX WHINES]
- [REX GROWLS]
- I said drop the weapon!
SARAH: It's okay, stay calm.
OFFICER: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[SARAH BREATHES SHAKILY]
Okay, everyone stay calm.
- Jesse, take Rex to Joe's office.
- JESSE: Yeah.
Come on, Rex. Let's go, through here.
I'm coming out slow.
What's your name?
Gabriel Garcia.
Gabriel Garcia?
The Lori Myers case?
You've already served your jail time.
That was six years ago!
I didn't want to do this!
I have no other choice!
- Aghh!
- [KNIFE FALLING]
- [REX SNARLING]
- [GABRIEL CRIES OUT]
GABRIEL: Please, Detective Hudson!
- I need your help!
- [REX BARKING]
CHARLIE: Come on, get up.
GABRIEL: Okay, okay, but
please just let me explain!
- [CUFFS CLINKING]
- CHARLIE: Let's go.
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]
You're placing me under arrest, right?
You attacked Dr. Truong
and threatened to kill her.
I'm sorry. I need you to listen to me.
I would have listened before the knife.
- Now you're going to jail.
- Please, can we just talk?
Detective Hudson, you're my
last hope to prove I'm innocent.
You pled guilty to the manslaughter
of Lori Myers six years ago.
I had to take the plea.
My lawyer, she said
it was the difference
between a five-year sentence
and twenty-five years.
She wouldn't have suggested that
if they didn't have
evidence against you.
I know, but
And the first thing you do
after you get out of prison
is you come to the police
station with a knife.
I heard you on Sound Judgment.
The podcast.
I thought if anyone could help me,
- it would be you.
- You already served your time.
Why would you get yourself arrested
right after you get released?
Because they're going to deport me.
I'm not a Canadian citizen.
And with my criminal
record, I can't stay here.
I'm supposed to report
to Immigration Enforcement
within twenty-four hours.
Then they put me in detention
until they can get me
on a flight to Honduras.
I'll be sure to let Immigration
know where to find you.
GABRIEL: No, please!
Detective Hudson, I
needed to get arrested
so that you would have
a reason to hold me.
If you press charges,
they can't take me right away.
Any conditions or medications
that I should be aware of?
I need my testosterone patch.
One a night. You took
them out of my pocket.
Okay.
[DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS]
Let's go.
[CUFFS CLINKING]
Come on.
[METAL DOOR CLANGS]
In a few years, you can
apply for a record suspension.
Maybe they'll let you back in.
No! You don't understand.
I won't survive that long.
Honduras isn't safe for trans people.
Plus I was an activist
before I came here.
I spoke out against the government.
If I go back, I can't live as myself.
And there's a good chance
I won't live at all.
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
It's in Immigration's hands now.
Nothing I can do.
[GABRIEL SIGHS]
[DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS] [DOOR OPENING]
Rex.
[REX WHINES]
[GABRIEL SIGHS]
- He wanted to be arrested.
- Why?
He was trying to buy time
before he was deported.
That's a stupid stunt.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
What do you mean, buy
time before he's deported?
He wants us to re-investigate his case.
Well, should we?
He was waving a knife
around the station.
If we reopen the case, what
kind of message are we sending?
- Yeah, I agree.
- No, I know he went about it
- the wrong way.
- He threatened you.
Yeah, I don't think he
would have hurt me, really.
You didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Look, I'm all right, Charlie.
I'm not defending what he did,
I just think he's clearly desperate.
Well, he's obviously desperate.
I mean, if he thinks he can
overturn a murder conviction
and deportation order.
I worked the case, okay?
Lori Myers, a dental hygienist
was shot outside of her
office, Gabriel, Dr. Garcia,
he was a new dentist at her clinic.
Fresh out of school.
And I remember being
surprised that he pled guilty
but I didn't know enough
about the overall case.
I wasn't as involved in
investigations back then.
There was forensic evidence against him.
Yes, we did find blood on the shoes
he was wearing that night, but
DONOVAN: Not only that. An
eyewitness saw Garcia leaving the scene.
Garcia also had motive.
He had a longstanding
grudge against the victim.
Garcia owned a gun, Sarah,
the exact same calibre
as the murder weapon
which was never recovered.
I signed off on the warrant.
Okay, but the blood on
his shoe didn't make sense.
- What was the problem?
- SARAH: Well,
the killer didn't just track
blood away from the body.
He also left a partial
footprint in the blood pool.
He didn't step in fresh blood.
It would have taken at least ten minutes
after Lori Myers was shot
for the blood to pool
and start to congeal
so that that footprint
could leave an impression.
CHARLIE: Wait, so,
Garcia stuck around after he
shot Lori at the crime scene?
It doesn't make sense.
They were in a public
place. Why? Why stick around?
Maybe he left something there
and had to go back for it.
Garcia's lawyer was Paula Stone.
[CHARLIE SIGHS] She
does have a reputation
of forcing her clients
into taking plea deals.
Yeah, but that doesn't
mean that she would force
an innocent man to plead guilty.
If you want to reopen,
you need to bring me more.
That's it.
[DISTANT SHIP HORN BLARING]
Joe thinks we're being soft on Gabriel.
He's not wrong.
[SOFT BACKGROUND MUSIC]
[REX BARKS]
Yeah.
Yeah, sure, we can play, buddy.
All right.
All right, pal. Pay attention now.
[REX SNIFFING]
You don't want him to
be deported either.
Well, it's not about what we want.
Anyway. We'll follow the evidence.
Yeah, as we always do.
See where it lands. Okay, which one?
[REX SNIFFS] [REX GROANS]
Good job.
But you're following your intuition.
That's another kind of evidence.
I also don't want you to get
in trouble with a fellow cop.
Ah, we can handle Porter.
- Can't we, pal?
- [REX BARKS]
Okay, which one? That was quick.
[REX SNIFFING]
Right again!
Good thing we're not playing for money.
I take it you don't
you don't trust Porter's work?
I wouldn't say that. I just I mean,
he's never been my favourite detective
- to work with.
- [CHARLIE CHUCKLES]
Yeah, he's with Fraud
and Financial Crimes now.
I wonder why he transferred.
I don't know. I mean I never asked.
I was just glad that he was gone.
What got him in your bad books?
Uh, he just always talked down to me.
Ah! You never gave him hell?
No. No, not back then.
A lot has changed.
I swear sometimes he's cheating.
[REX GRUNTS]
How does he always get this right?
Charlie, you know
dogs see colour, right?
Ahhh.
[REX BARKS]
[SARAH CHUCKLES]
Why didn't you tell me?
[SARAH LAUGHS]
[SEAGULLS CRYING]
PORTER: Six years in prison
and Garcia's still
singing the same tune, huh?
Yeah, I take it you never believed him?
Of course not. I know
he shot that woman.
I have no doubt in my mind.
But then again, you're
here talking to me.
So, either you like second
guessing other cops' work
or Garcia sold you his sob story.
No, neither. Just there's the question
about the footprint in the blood.
I figured you'd have an answer for that.
Yeah, blood placed him at the scene.
Ten minutes after the shooting,
according to forensics.
Yeah, that's right. Dr.
Truong worked that case.
- Uh-huh.
- Hey, I heard you and she are a thing.
Congrats.
Why do you think Gabriel
stuck around so long
- after shooting Myers?
- [PORTER CLEARS THROAT]
Admire his handiwork?
Make sure she was dead? I
mean whatever the reason,
he wasn't confiding in me.
How did he explain the
blood on his shoes?
He couldn't.
He told me he went to
go meet Lori Myers there
and he didn't see her.
He'd practically have to
be standing on top of her
to get the blood on his shoes.
Does that sound credible to you?
Hudson.
The charges were good.
So, you won't mind if I take
a look at the file, then?
[PORTER SCOFFS]
You want to waste your time?
Knock yourself out.
Thanks. Come on, pal.
[PORTER CLEARS THROAT]
[REX WHINES]
You must be Rex.
We were not properly
introduced last night.
That's on me.
I know I messed it up.
- [DOOR CLOSING]
- [GABRIEL CHUCKLES]
Detective.
Six years later,
what makes you think
I can even help you?
You're going to investigate?
I'm going to take a look at the file.
That's great!
That's great!
Detective Porter,
Superintendent Donovan,
the crown prosecutor and your attorney
think that this case is solid.
[GABRIEL SIGHS] I know.
Why do you think I can exonerate you?
The witness who ID'd me, Marco Ryan,
an architect who had an,
office in the building
he said I was wearing a red jacket.
And normally I do but I left
it in the office that night.
And he said I was running away
but I wasn't. I didn't
have any reason to run.
But if Marco did see someone,
maybe he saw the real killer.
And maybe you can find them.
This doesn't mean that I believe you.
But I am going to look into it.
[GABRIEL EXHALES]
I understand.
That's all I ask.
Come on, pal.
[REX WHINES]
Thank you!
[DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS]
Thank you.
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[GABRIEL SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[GABRIEL EXHALES]
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
[JESSE SIGHS]
So, what are we looking for here?
Anything that looks interesting.
Okay.
[REX SNIFFS]
Contents of the victim's purse.
Anything good?
Well, we've got some
glasses. We've got vitamins. Old gum.
Mmm.
Oh, this is exactly what I
was looking for right here.
This is the eyewitness who
said they saw Gabriel flee the scene.
Come on.
[DVD PLAYER WHIRRING]
PORTER: Did you recognize
the person you saw?
I barely saw them.
Just the red coat.
PORTER: A red coat.
Doesn't Dr. Garcia wear a red coat?
MARCO: Yes, but,
I'm not sure who it was I saw.
Mr. Ryan, I know you wouldn't
want Ms. Myers' killer to go free.
Would you? So, I need you
to think about this really hard.
Did you recognize the man
running from the scene?
Porter coached the witness.
It was a bad idea. If
he was willing to do that,
what other corners did he cut?
You have to explain the gun. The blood.
Joe, what if an innocent man
has been in prison for six years
and a murderer is still out there?
Well, if he did, then
I helped put him there.
Charlie, Porter is not
going to love you for this.
I'll find a way to endure.
Work fast, Charlie.
Immigration Enforcement is
coming for Gabriel Garcia.
Yeah.
[SOFT MUSIC]
NATALIE: Dr. Truong?
You were one of the officers
on the Lori Myers case.
Do you remember me?
Natalie, right?
Natalie Moore.
I worked with Lori Myers.
She was a friend of mine.
Yeah, you're Dr. Moore's daughter
and the receptionist at her clinic.
Yes. And Gabriel and I
were seeing each other.
Um, what brings you here?
Uh
I got an email from Gabriel
yesterday morning.
We haven't been in touch for years.
Did he come here?
Yeah, he did.
Is it true?
Is he being deported?
I'm afraid it's standard
after a conviction.
Uh
But he did ask you for help, right?
Will you help him?
[SARAH SIGHS]
I don't want to get
your hopes up, Natalie.
This kind of case is
extremely difficult to overturn
and with the deportation order
He'd asked me my ring size, you know?
Um
The week before Lori was killed.
I'm telling you that
so that you understand
Gabriel, he built a whole life out here.
He worked so hard for it.
I do understand.
I feel like this is all my fault.
I was the one who told the
detective about Gabriel's gun.
I thought that if they found
it, they could rule him out.
But then they didn't find the gun.
I remember.
It was like I'd turned him in myself.
I spent so many hours out here waiting,
while he was being questioned.
My mother didn't understand
how I could stand by him.
The whole thing was a nightmare.
But I remember,
you were very kind to me.
Please help him.
I can't
make any promises.
Lori Myers, 31.
A hygienist at Meadowview Dental.
So, six years ago,
on the evening of July first,
she was shot dead outside of her office.
Dr. Gabriel Garcia,
came to Canada from
Honduras for dental school.
After he graduated, he was hired
by the owner of Meadowview,
Dr. Serena Moore.
Come on, pal.
[PORTER CLEARS THROAT]
PORTER: Hudson.
I figured you weren't
going to let this lie.
I'm not trying to catch
you out here Porter.
Sure. Sure.
Well, let me walk you
through the scene yeah?
So, the night of the murder,
Lori Myers texted and called
Dr. Garcia repeatedly,
asking him to meet.
JESSE: I need you to meet me.
It's urgent. I'll wait
for you outside the office.
Then later she writes again.
I'm at the bench.
Gabriel told Detective Porter
he arrived to meet
Lori at around 9:00 PM.
The body was found
here.
Garcia tells me he didn't see her.
So, he went back home.
But he must have been lying
because there was blood on his shoes.
I mean, there was no way no
way he was standing right here
and didn't see her.
It would have been dark out.
Yeah, but there's a street lamp.
You don't think I check basic facts?
[CHARLIE CHUCKLES]
Okay.
So, at 9:05, the
building alarm goes off.
Our architect friend comes
out to see what's going on.
- Sees Garcia
- Or somebody in a red jacket.
Sees Garcia running from the scene.
Okay, can you tell me
about Garcia's motive?
Natalie Moore, Dr. Moore's
daughter and receptionist
was dating Gabriel.
Some weeks before the murder,
Natalie, had a dental emergency
and Gabriel treated her.
Wait, he treated his girlfriend?
Yeah, and Lori Myers reported
him to the dental board
for having a relationship
with a patient.
Isn't that kind of a grey area?
Yeah, but, if the board decided
to revoke Dr. Garcia's license,
he would have been out of work
and carrying almost a
hundred thousand dollars
- in student loan debt.
- Hmm.
Well, if the complaint
had already been made
to the dental board,
then killing Lori wouldn't
have made a difference.
A couple of days before the murder,
the dental board found him in favour.
- Right?
- Mmm.
And he told me that Lori
had apologized to him
but nobody could corroborate that, so
That's Dr. Serena Moore.
She owns Meadowview Clinic.
DR. MOORE: Detective
Porter, I got your text.
- What's this about?
- Dr. Moore,
I wanted you to meet Detective Hudson.
He's looking into the Lori Myers case.
Why would you want to do that?
Garcia asked him to.
I'm actually just reviewing
the case at this point.
We can't have this rehashed.
It was a terrible time for all of us.
My daughter Natalie, she
it took her years to recover,
both from Lori's death and
from the heartbreak of realizing
that the man she loved was responsible.
I understand.
I loved Gabriel like a son.
I brought him into my business.
Of course I wish things
could be different.
Mm-hmm.
Do you think there's a reason
to open the case again?
Too early to say.
Then please,
don't come around here
unless you're absolutely certain
that you can help Gabriel.
Otherwise, you're just
reopening old wounds.
Well, I couldn't have
said it better myself.
[DOOR CLOSING]
[REX WHINES]
Thanks for the tour, Detective.
[REX SNIFFING]
Rex.
Come on, pal.
I can't find the victim's phone.
- It wasn't in her purse.
- They never found it.
All the text transcripts came
from Gabriel Garcia's phone.
That's too bad.
So, Dr. Moore practically
ran us off the property.
Unhappy with the investigation?
Protecting her daughter.
SARAH: So, it sounds
like Natalie and her mom
don't agree on Gabriel's case.
She came in today begging
me to look into it.
Interesting that she
wouldn't tell her mother.
Maybe they're protecting each other.
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
[REX SNIFFING]
[REX BARKS]
[REX BARKS]
What have you got?
[REX SNIFFING]
Contents of the victim's pockets.
Shouldn't this be with
the rest of the belongings?
Let's see.
What have we got here?
It's an eraser.
- What do you think, Rex?
- [REX BARKS]
A USB!
Let me see.
It's recorded as an eraser though.
Detective Porter was sloppy.
Does that mean that no one
ever checked what was on it?
I'll get my laptop.
Good find, pal.
Nine millimeter slugs.
What do we know about the murder weapon?
It was never found.
It was Natalie who told Detective Porter
Garcia owned a gun, a family
piece his father had given him.
A World War Two-era Browning.
So, he lied to Porter
about having a gun?
No, he claimed that he
didn't even think of it.
The gun was an antique
and he said he wasn't
sure it even fired anymore.
He kept it in a lockbox in his closet
but when police searched his house
It wasn't there?
And they never found the murder weapon.
There was a cement mixer
near the crime scene?
Yeah, they were waiting
to pour something
while we were processing the scene.
Rex.
Come on.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Rex was interested in
something over here earlier.
You think he could detect something
- buried in the concrete?
- Yeah, it is possible.
Cadaver dogs have done it before.
[REX SNIFFING]
[REX BARKS]
[REX WHINES]
Worth a shot.
I'll call the team
and tell them to bring
the concrete cutter.
[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO]
[CAMERA SNAPPING]
SARAH: The concrete mixer was
here the night of the murder.
CHARLIE: Good place to hide a gun.
I think Rex just found
the murder weapon.
[REX BARKS]
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
[COMPUTER BEEPING]
It's a World War Two-era Browning.
Like the one Gabriel Garcia owned.
And ballistics match the
bullets that killed Lori Myers.
The case against Gabriel
is actually getting worse
than when he came in here.
Other people could have had access.
Now, there were no fingerprints.
They would have been destroyed
by the concrete but you know,
if we can link the gun to someone else,
we could get a retrial.
You're really pulling
for this kid, aren't you?
- I'm just following the evidence.
- Yeah.
We're going to need to
in order to help him.
I never fired the gun.
I swear.
My dad's abuelo left it to me.
He was a pilot in the war.
I didn't even know if it still worked.
Who did know that you had it?
- No one.
- Except Natalie.
Sure.
Except Natalie.
If you didn't use it and no
one else knew that you had it
[GABRIEL SCOFFS]
No.
Natalie didn't do it
for all the reasons.
Natalie and Lori were friends.
Lori used to counsel Natalie
when she was having
problems with her mom.
Still, she must
have been upset with Lori
when she reported you
to the dental board.
She was, but
No.
I know Natalie better than anyone.
At least I used to.
She couldn't watch violence in movies.
She practically cried
the time I broke a toe
just from seeing me in pain.
That's how empathetic she is.
- She could never kill anyone.
- [REX WHINES]
I know the concrete would
have destroyed the fingerprints
on the outside of the gun
but what about the inside?
- The bullets and the magazine?
- Yeah.
- I'll check.
- Okay.
If you find anything, can you run it
against Natalie Moore's fingerprints?
She knew where to find the gun.
Okay.
Thanks.
- JESSE: Charlie.
- Yeah.
Lori Myers was a busy
woman. Her USB was packed.
- With what?
- Oh, videos and files,
I mean, keeping track of everything
from noisy neighbours, bad
parking jobs to littering
to even cheating spouses.
Seemed that she had a hobby
in keeping track of
everyone's bad behaviour.
These files make her
look like anywhere from
an amateur detective to
a total vigilante Karen.
So, maybe Gabriel wasn't the
only person that she reported on.
Exactly. She did have a file
on her boss, Serena Moore.
But it seemed to just be a summary
of her life in British Columbia
before she came to
Newfoundland with her daughter.
Anything murder-worthy?
No, but you know what? I did
manage to ID one of the cheaters
- Mm-hmm?
- Lori photographed in a very friendly situation
- with a woman who was not his wife.
- Who?
You're gonna like this.
The architect with the office upstairs.
Marco Ryan.
The eyewitness that identified Gabriel.
Yeah.
Good job.
Did she tell you that she knew
that you were cheating on your wife?
What?
No.
Well, she had taken this photo.
And then,
later, she told your
wife about the affair.
I always thought that was my cousin.
Yeah, or you had a
reason to hurt Lori Myers
and you lied to the police about
seeing Gabriel Garcia at the scene.
- No, no, no.
- What were you doing at the office,
the night of the murder?
I was working late.
The alarm went off.
I went out to see what set it off.
And when you got out there?
I saw
him.
Garcia.
The young dentist.
- Uh-huh.
- So,
you're sure that you saw him?
Yeah.
But that's not what you told the police
when you gave your statement.
Well, I wasn't sure at first.
And then I was. Now I
So, much gets lost in the
mists of time, Detective.
Sarah. Hey, what do you make of this?
Dental X-ray. Why?
Well, it was in Lori's files.
It was the last thing she
saw the day before she died.
- Who does it belong to?
- I don't know.
The patient's name is cropped out.
Huh, there's a
a pin in the jaw. Maybe that
could help identify the patient.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, hello there.
I've got a partial print on the magazine
Is it a match to Gabriel Garcia?
I don't know.
Let's find out.
[KNOCKING ON GLASS]
What's on your mind, Detective?
Well, I heard the dog
found the murder weapon.
That's right.
So, I guess you're all right
with Hudson taking a machete to my case.
I mean,
how does that make me look?
Recovering that weapon could well serve
to reinforce your
findings in the Myers case.
Right.
But he's still
re-interviewing my witnesses.
[PORTER SCOFFS]
If you're confident in your case,
you've got nothing to worry about.
I'm not worried.
It's the principle of the thing.
Professional respect.
And I thought I had yours.
Nothing's changed on that front.
Immigration sent out an
alert looking for Garcia.
You let them know he's
in our holding cells?
Because he should be halfway
to South America by now.
Honduras is in North America.
And your protest has been duly noted.
[DONOVAN SIGHS]
Okay.
[DONOVAN SIGHS]
You think my fingerprints can help you?
For elimination purposes.
But you're under no
obligation to provide them.
I don't mind.
Anything to help Gabe.
And Gabriel said that no one else knew
where he kept the pistol.
Do you know if that's true?
Um, I told Lori about it once.
She didn't approve but I told her
Gabe would be scared
to even load the thing,
let alone use it to hurt someone.
And you told Detective
Porter where he kept it.
That was
I have an alibi.
[SARAH SIGHS]
So, Natalie's alibi was solid.
I mean, after she left work that night,
she met a group of girlfriends
for a birthday party.
- Is this from Porter's notes?
- Yeah, yeah.
I re-interviewed all the friends
and they remember
that party specifically
because the birthday girl announced
that she was pregnant
that night, and that baby
is now in kindergarten.
And they all remembered
how late she stayed?
Yeah, yeah. Some of them
still have a couple of photos.
So, I checked the metadata
and Natalie left just after 10:00 PM.
Okay.
SARAH: Hey.
Natalie's print aren't a match for
the prints found on the magazine.
And she said she told
Lori about the gun.
So, Lori could have told anyone.
Except Lori's not here
to tell us if she did.
- Or who.
- [URGENT MUSIC]
Detective Hudson?
[REX WHINES]
Yes.
Agent Baker, Immigration Enforcement.
I understand you have Gabriel Garcia
and I'm here to take him into custody.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
BAKER: Detective Porter
told me that Garcia's
been in custody here
for the last two days.
My team is preparing
new charges against him.
What kind of charges?
Assaulting a law enforcement officer.
- Uttering death threats.
- Garcia is stalling.
And you're helping him, Superintendent.
Look, I have tickets for
Disney On Ice tonight.
I'm taking my nephew.
So, let's wrap this up.
Garcia is Honduras's problem.
I think that's up to a judge.
Don't make me late for
the show, Superintendent.
My nephew loves Moana.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Baker could go straight to a judge.
She could be back tonight
with a habeas corpus.
Well, you've bought us
a couple hours, at least.
Is it enough? What have you got?
I think we can rule out
Natalie Moore as a suspect.
We still can't be sure who else knew
where to find the gun, if anyone.
- Does anyone else have motive?
- Lots of people.
I mean, Lori Myers's USB has
files on all these people
and I've eliminated with prints on file
that don't match the partial print
that Sarah pulled from the gun.
And I'm part way
through checking alibis.
- Leaving

DONOVAN: Who's your best bet?
Marco Ryan. The architect.
We know that he pointed
the finger at Gabriel.
He claims that he didn't know
that Lori told his
wife about his affair.
He was in the same building.
He could have heard
about the gun somehow.
It's thin.
Okay, what about the
mystery X-ray you found?
It might have belonged to
a patient in the clinic.
That's why Lori had access to it.
I still haven't figured
out who it belongs to.
I think I know someone who
might be able to help us.

There is one lie
I told during the investigation.
I promise, it's the only one.
What was it?
I did see Lori's body. [GABRIEL CRIES]
By the park bench.
My whole life, my
parents drilled into me:
follow the rules.
Don't draw attention.
They knew as long as we
didn't have citizenship,
we could be deported. So, I
I walked away!
And then,
it seemed like there was never
a right time to tell the truth.
Did you check on her?
Of course!
But I was too late!
She was already dead.
Why did she want to
talk to me that night?
What could have been so important?
It's not over yet.
And you may be able to help us.
I want you to take a look at this X-ray.
Can you tell me who it belongs to?
The gap between four and five.
The crown on tooth 21.
I did it myself.
This belongs to Natalie.
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
What was Lori doing with
Natalie Moore's X-ray?
The only unusual thing I can see
is the pin in the jaw.
It must have been used
to repair a fracture
but the bone is completely healed.
From an injury from when she was young?
JESSE: That reminds me. I
was looking through Lori's emails,
and the same day that she
sent herself the X-ray,
she also sent a request.
And I figured it was just a work thing
but she had asked for
childhood medical records
from a hospital in British Columbia
- for Natalie Moore.
- Did she get them?
Yeah, the hospital confirmed
that they sent a fax
over to Meadowview Dental at
7:30 PM the night Lori died.
We need to see those records.
Jesse, can you check
in with that hospital?
Yeah, I'm on it.
[REX BARKS]
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
JESSE: Hey. Did you get the
records that the hospital sent over?
Yeah, I'm just looking at them.
I must have been reading them wrong.
It said that Natalie Moore
had an osteogenesis imperfecta?
Yeah, this child was very sick.
She spent half her time in the hospital.
Her bone density was extremely low.
There's evidence of dozens of fractures.
She had a very severe case.
Yeah but there's no
mention of a facial fracture
or a pin in her jaw.
Yeah, that's because
these hospital records
don't match Natalie's current X-ray.
Cases of severe osteogenesis imperfecta
usually result in death
before the age of ten.
So, who is Natalie Moore?
This is who we know as Natalie Moore.
But you're saying she
couldn't be the same child
described in the hospital records?
Because that child died years ago.
Most likely of natural causes.
Which Lori could have discovered
when she got the medical
records from British Columbia.
DONOVAN: And you're
saying she was killed
the same night the
hospital sent the records.
Right.
Remember she wanted to
talk to Gabriel that night.
You think she was going to tell Gabriel
that Natalie isn't the real Natalie?
SARAH: Well, Gabriel
and Natalie were dating.
And Lori had also
jeopardized her relationship
with both of them when she had
reported Gabriel to the board.
SARAH: Maybe Lori
wanted Gabriel's advice
before she brought new,
you know, potentially hurtful
information to Natalie.
DONOVAN: But if someone was
willing to kill over this,
they had something more
to hide than a death
of a child by natural causes.
It depends how that child was replaced.
You're talking about a kidnapping.
[REX WHINES]
CHARLIE: Serena Moore and her daughter
moved to St. John's in 1996.
JESSE: Okay, so we are
looking for a missing child
in British Columbia before then.
Aged one to two.
[COMPUTER BEEPING]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
CHARLIE: There. What's that?
[COMPUTER BEEPING]
SARAH: A two-year-old
girl, Fiona Jarvis.
Last seen at a hospital
where she was being
treated for a broken jaw.
I wonder if they put a pin
in it when they reset it.
JESSE: Reported missing by her parents
Charles and Jessalyn Jarvis,
who said they left Fiona
in the care of a nurse
while they went to the cafeteria.
Yeah, that was big news at the time.
I remember the parents were
suspected of harming Fiona
and claiming that she
was kidnapped to cover it up.
Do you think that's
how Lori knew about it?
Maybe she saw the pin in Natalie's X-ray
and connected it to
the Fiona Jarvis case?
Well, if that's true, then,
Natalie Moore is Fiona Jarvis.
Lori Myers knew it.
And Dr. Moore has a big secret to hide.

Dr. Truong and Detective Hudson.
- How can I help you?
- Is your mother here, Natalie?
Detective.
What's going on?
What's wrong? Is it Gabriel?
Did they take him?
No, he's fine. I'd just like
to have a word with your mother.
Natalie, darling. Just go and
wait in the back for me, okay?
No, I want to know what's going on.
We're reviewing the case
and I have a few questions
about your mother's alibi
the night that Lori was murdered.
As I told Detective Porter,
I was getting a massage.
No, we haven't been able to
locate the massage therapist
that you named in your
original interview.
Well, that doesn't mean
that she doesn't exist.
She moved away.
That's all.
Natalie?
You didn't go to your
massage that night.
- Of course I did.
- No.
- Yes.
- No, they called
to say they were sending a
bill for a late cancellation.
That was six years ago, darling.
There's no way that you could possibly
- remember that.
- I do remember
because I was at the
station waiting for Gabriel
when they called. I'll check the files!
CHARLIE: Dr. Moore.
Let go of Natalie.
Excuse me.
NATALIE: Why would you lie
- Natalie and I
- Detective Porter?
Natalie and I need a moment alone.
- All right.
- [REX BARKS]
[DR. MOORE GASPS]
Did you have access to Gabriel's gun?
NATALIE: You had a key
to Gabriel's apartment.
I gave it to you myself.
Natalie.
You did it.
Why?
Natalie.
Do you want to tell her yourself?
SARAH: We know what you did in BC.
We found the hospital
records, Dr. Moore.
She is my daughter.
In every way that matters.
I don't understand.
What does that mean?
My daughter was very sick.
We were in the hospital all the time.
That's when I saw you.
Because her parents were abusive.
That's why she was in the hospital.
You convinced yourself the
kidnapping was justified.
They had a healthy little girl.
And they weren't taking care of her.
You took me from my parents?
You lied to me my whole life?
Natalie.
Natalie.
Easy.
- [DR. MOORE EXHALES]
- [CUFFS RACHETING]
How did you find out
that Lori was on to you?
I saw the fax from the hospital.
I tried to destroy it but I knew
she wasn't going to
keep it from herself.
Mm-hmm. Come on.
DR. MOORE: Natalie.
Natalie!
[NATALIE CRIES]
NATALIE: Oh my God.
So, wat's the golden
boy told you this time?
That he has Lori
Myers's killer in custody
following a confession.
Who?
Dr. Moore.
But it was Garcia's gun.
Dr. Moore had access to it.
Along with the red coat.
She framed him.
[PORTER SCOFFS]
Well, you've got to admit,
nobody saw that coming.
Right?
Which is why I'm going to
be looking into this case
to see if someone should
have seen it coming.
In the meantime, we have to
deal with the fact that an innocent man
went to prison for six years.
Look.
I stand by my work.
Good, because after this
one, I'm going to look into
all of your Major Crimes cases
to see if this is part
of a larger pattern.
And if it is,
I expect you to put in for retirement.
[PORTER SIGHS]
[DOOR BUZZER SOUNDS]
Come on, pal.
I'm not a bad person.
It was for Natalie.
You said I was like a son.
And then you let me go to jail?
Six years of my life!
Come on.
Gabriel, I'm very sorry
that my department let this happen.
There's nothing I can
do to make up for it.
You listened to me
when no one else would.
You saved my life.
[GABRIEL CHUCKLES] Both of you.
[REX WHINES]
Gabe.
Tell Natalie to forgive
me for her own good.
She needs her mother.
Gabe?
Gabe!
