Calling to order this meeting

of the Avalon Birdwatching Association.

Order, everyone!

I will not be silenced, Meredith.

Not when it comes to my birds!

Need I remind you, Topher Bouchard-

that the Red Crossbill is highly endangered?

Technically just threatened, Patricia.

The destruction of its habitat

is the sole reason

for its decline!

One of the many reasons.

And that Newfoundland

is the only place on Earth

that the percna subspecies mates-

lays their eggs and raises their young!

So I will not allow you-

or anyone else

to disturb

or even know the whereabouts of its nesting colony

on my tract of woodland-

let alone invite you and your

bandwagon of birders from away-

from trampling all over it!

Say hello to the avian activists.

Two sides to everything, I guess.

Patricia, please.

Topher's tour members are our invited guests.

They might be yours, Meredith.

But they're not mine!

And I have always respected that, Patricia.

I have never stepped foot on your land.

And yet-

someone's been messing around in my woods.

And just as the Red Crossbills are coming

for their six week stay.

And you think that was me?

Frankly, I resent that accusation.

Well-

whoever it was, Topher Bouchard-

they'd better not try it again-

or I will make them pay!

Patricia!

Hey!

Don't be a sore loser.

Swimming's the only time I get to beat you at a race.

What have you found?

A hummingbird in Newfoundland!

Good one, Rex.

Birders from around here would kill to see that.

Okay everyone!

We're nowhere near Patricia's land.

So we should be fine.

Just stay on the path-

or you might end up with a soaker!

This is Newfoundland's glorious marshlands.

Now, I know when people think Newfoundland birding-

they think gannets and puffins.

But we have our share of wetland birds as well-

many just passing through.

Here to breed and feed.

Then off again.

I came all this way to see baby cross bills-

not herons and ducks.

So take us to the colony.

Well I would if I could, but-

Listen.

That's the Red Crossbill!

It's over in that forest!

Oh!

Oh, not so fast, Colin!

Ughh!

That's all I can tell you.

I didn't even want to be in that marsh.

I can see ducks back in Seattle.

Okay.

-Jesse. -Yeah.

Hey, just wait with the rest of the group.

I'll get back to you.

Hey.

Donovan called, gave me the basics.

Birdwatching tourists found a body in the marshes

and then drove here?

Yeah, yeah-

terrified that there was a killer on the loose.

Okay.

Victim's name is Patricia McGee.

She's a local twitcher in St. John's.

The people that found her are all chasers.

So what you're saying

is that the victim is a devoted local birder-

ie. twitcher.

Whereas-

all these people have come a long distance

hoping to see interesting birds?

Yeah.

Are you into birding, Mark?

No, I did a crash course on the drive in.

Just like you.

I didn't do that.

What have you discovered so far?

Well-

Skyler Jenkins-

came all the way to St. John's

to see the baby Red Crossbills and feels ripped off.

Well, that's fascinating, but maybe not pertinent?

And Colin Crawford.

He found the body.

He's new to birding.

Flew in about a week ago.

Any previous connection to the victim?

Only peripherally.

Skyler and Colin attended a meeting

of the Avalon Birdwatchers Association

three days ago, where the

tour operator over there, Topher Bouchard

got into an argument with the victim.

Pertaining to-?

Patricia accused him of trespassing on land

that she owned

in search of the Red Crossbills' nesting colony-

the exact location of which

she would divulge to no one.

And was he trespassing this morning?

No no, the marsh is public land.

Her land is west of there.

And her house is very close to the crime scene.

Get contact info for the people here.

Then release them.

But hold Colin and Topher back.

I want to check in

with Sarah before I interview them.

Okay.

Rex.

By the way, he's, uh-

He's a real dude.

A casual but committed birder!

Very nice, Mark.

I really have to up my game

in the obscure information department.

Rex and I are en route to the crime scene.

Sarah, are you still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

See you soon.

The victim was found prone

here on the ground-

apparently strangled with her own binocular strap.

But I'll confirm the cause of death.

So whoever killed her didn't bring a weapon.

Suggests the attack may have been random.

Spontaneous.

Staged to appear as such.

No cell phone found.

But her wallet wasn't taken.

No assault other than the obvious.

Oof.

Yeah.

I'll check the body for foreign DNA.

Have you determined

a time of death?

Uh, no more than 12 hours.

I'll be more exact

after the autopsy today.

What was she doing here by the pond?

Was she meeting someone?

Did she often bird watch here alone?

What have you got there, Rex?

Oh, something in the hair.

A bird feather?

Small.

It's red.

Yeah, it could be the Red Crossbill.

You can identify a bird off one feather?

No, I can make a wild guess

from an argument that the victim had just a few days ago.

Oh, people argue about birds?

What don't they argue about?

Rex is certainly interested in that.

Well, if Rex thinks it's significant-

then maybe it is.

Thanks for waiting, Colin.

Oh, no problem.

You good?

Uh, sorry.

Still a little shaken.

I came to Newfoundland to spot birds.

Not bodies.

I just have a few questions.

Now, you witnessed an argument

between the victim and your tour guide.

Topher.

Yeah.

I mean, I only took up birding recently when I retired.

But it seemed a pretty common point of contention.

And what is that?

People who want to shelter birds from any human interference-

versus those who want to bring

more and more people to see them.

And the argument got heated?

Yeah.

But she threatened him.

Not the other way around.

Hmm.

You don't think Topher was involved?

It's too early to say.

I'm just asking some routine questions.

I mean, he has seemed really tense the past few days.

But running a fledgling business is really hard.

Pardon the pun.

Uh-fledgling.

Right.

You said

you took up the hobby when you retired.

You, uh-

You seem a little young for that.

Oh, I made a killing in tech stocks.

-Oh. -I'm still trying

to figure out what to do with my time.

Well hopefully this hasn't scared you off.

No, no.

I'll stick it out.

Sorry about this.

I know this can't be great for business.

Half the tour is talking about leaving!

Requesting refunds!

This sort of thing just doesn't happen here!

Terrible things happen everywhere, unfortunately.

How long did you know the victim, Topher?

A little over five years since I started the business.

Joined the local birding club.

Where you argued with the victim just days ago.

Patricia picked fights with everyone.

She was nuts

about hoarding the Red Crossbill all to herself.

She accused me of trespassing!

And did you?

No.

Never!

I'm not even exactly sure where her land is-

let alone bring people onto it.

But you'd like to, I assume.

You must be under a lot of pressure to get your clients

access to rare birds.

Especially when they've flown so far to see them.

Are you suggesting I might have something to do with this?

If I did-

why would I bring my tour group to find the body?

That's a good question.

Yeah.

Where were you last night, Topher?

Seriously?

Oh, yeah.

Very.

I had a drink at the motel where the tour is staying.

And then went up to my room to plan the next day's events.

Can anyone corroborate that?

No.

But what could I

possibly have to gain from killing Patricia?

Well, that's a good question too.

Find out

what you can about this Topher character.

He got defensive straight out of the gate.

See if he has a record-

financial situation, general background.

Yeah, will do.

Run a quick check on the tour group too.

Just-you know, routine stuff.

Have we identified next of kin?

Well, there's no existing family.

But her husband, Jedediah McGee-

is listed as her sole beneficiary.

I haven't been able to locate him.

Oh, they weren't together anymore?

No one on the island by that name.

What about close friends?

I mean, they might know where he is.

And if Patricia was having trouble with anyone-

felt threatened-

Well, there's Meredith Legrow.

She's waiting at Patricia's house with Joe.

She's an old friend-

and president of the Birders Association.

She had a key.

Well, I guess what they say is true.

Birds of a feather unlock together.

Mark, are you stealing my vibe?

I'm moving in on you, Jesse.

Moving in on you.

Don't like that.

What a horrible, horrible thing to happen.

I don't think I'll ever feel safe in the marsh again.

Neither of us thought twice

about going in there alone.

You knew Patricia a long time?

Since we were girls.

We grew up together.

Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to harm her?

You don't think someone she knew could have done this?

Well, we have to look at all possibilities.

It seems that she could be-

contentious?

An understatement-

I'm sorry to say.

But Patty wasn't always so prickly.

She just got her heart broken so young.

How's that?

She was married briefly-

when she was barely 20.

To a man named Jedediah?

He was the one who first got us all into birding.

Encouraged her to spend every dime that she inherited

to buy that land.

And then he just disappeared one day.

Disappeared?

Said he had

something to take care of and never returned.

She waited-

and waited.

She still has him listed as a beneficiary in her will.

Not that there's much to inherit.

Rumour is she was struggling just to hold on to the house.

So why didn't she sell the land?

It must have been worth something.

Patricia would rather die than betray her birds.

Come with me.

I'll let you into her house.

Birds.

Birds.

Birds.

It's a sad story, really.

I mean, I love golf.

But I'm not building a shrine to it.

I don't know, you have to admire her dedication.

Put her money where her mouth was.

Did everything she could

to protect a threatened species.

Yeah, and never forget the love of her life.

Oh.

Yeah, they look happy there.

That must be a young Jedediah.

No computer.

No cell phone on the body.

She was old school.

Yeah, well I can't find anything

that indicates she was planning to meet someone

or had been threatened in any way.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Look like old journals.

Looks like she kept a diary of her life.

What've you got there, Rex?

What is it?

Hey is that what you see, Rex?

It says Red Crossbill nest.

Well, that's the bird that Patricia was arguing about-

and trying to protect.

What's this?

Wow-is that a real ruby?

Why would somebody who's struggling to pay their bills

have something like this?

And is there more where this came from?

Ughh!

That is quite the ruby.

Look.

If it's real-

it's worth a fortune.

But where did it come from?

And why wouldn't Patricia sell it

if she was really struggling?

Why was she storing it in a Red Crossbill nest-?

The bird that she was arguing about-

that nests on her land-

and left a feather in her hair?

I've got a meeting

with a local jeweller in town

later today-

just to check on the value-

and also to keep it safe

until we found out about her heir.

Okay I'm still searching for Jedidiah McGee.

I'm going to take

this wedding photo

and run it through facial recognition.

Let me know what you find out.

Also I've been looking into the bird tourists-

including the man that found the body.

There's nothing unusual or suspicious

about them.

And Topher?

Well-

it seems that his business is hanging on by a thread.

But there's no record.

And as he said, he had a drink with the tour group.

Then he told them he was heading in

for the evening.

But no one will vouch for him.

There was Skyler, the disappointed chaser.

She said she's pretty sure she saw him headed into his room.

But that was about it.

And what do we know about her?

Well, she works for her parents' development company.

Got into birding when it became popular online.

Hashtag trendy.

So that makes Topher our top suspect.

But what I don't understand

is why someone would kill just to look at some birds.

It must be more than that.

I'm going to head over to the provincial land registry.

I want to know exactly where Patricia's land was.

Something's nagging at you.

Maybe it's the birder mania

that's rubbing off on me.

I looked it up.

Red Crossbills like to raise their young in mature forests.

Right now, this time of year.

And only for a few weeks.

So-?

So why was a twitcher like Patricia

wasting her time in a marsh?

Why was she looking at ducks when she

should have been spending all her time with the cross bills?

I think you're right.

I think you've caught bird mania.

Blame Rex.

Sarah's got the autopsy results.

Let's go.

Sarah, what have we got?

Hey.

Yeah, okay.

So time of death.

10 to 12 hours before the body was discovered.

Cause of death also is presumed

victim died of strangulation.

Now, I did find foreign DNA on the binocular strap.

It's trace, but it's there.

Well, that's great news.

Have you run it through the national database?

That is the bad news.

There was no match, but I'm widening the search.

Also-

the birdsong

Rex heard was, in fact, from the

rare Red Crossbill.

As was the feather

from her hair.

Well, I guess that makes me some kind of expert after all.

Patricia's body showed clear signs of lividity.

Posthumous pooling of the blood?

Exactly.

But the discolouration

was on the posterior thorax.

On her back.

Yeah.

But Patricia was found face down.

I know.

The blood should have pooled anteriorly.

So the lividity is off.

She was found in a marsh

when any sane birder would be in the woods.

And Rex found a Red Crossbill feather in her hair

when she was nowhere near their nesting site.

The body was moved.

Moved.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But from where?

And why?

Well maybe she wasn't the only one

who wanted to keep people away from their nesting site.

Maybe they didn't want anyone to see

where she'd actually been murdered.

Maybe I can find some answers at the land registry.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Oh!

Detective!

Meredith!

What can I do to help?

Definitely a real gemstone,

No doubt about that.

So it's a ruby, then.

Oh-

and one of exceptional quality.

Burmese.

Remarkable clarity.

And its colour is the purest pigeon blood red.

Pigeon blood?

That's ironic.

How's that?

Well, the house where we found it

was once owned by a lifelong birdwatcher.

One with deep pockets, I assume?

Why do you say that?

How much would you estimate that this ring is worth?

Judging the gem's weight-

between four and five carats-

on the right day with the right buyers-

I'd expect this ring to sell for at least two million dollars.

Well, I guess I'll be requesting backup

to get this pigeon back to the roost, huh?

Sorry I didn't mention to you that I worked at the registry.

Well, I'm not sure why you would.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm just glad to help.

Yeah.

Though I'm not sure how an outline

of her property will help you find a killer.

I'm just getting the lay of the land.

-Ah. -Yeah.

Well.

Here it is.

Patricia owned

all of this area here.

Is this survey hand-drawn?

Newfoundland has a unique land registry situation.

The original settlers were breaking international treaties

by overwintering

when it was indeed a new found land.

So anyone who did settle was simply squatting.

Just claiming the land for their own-

building on it with no deed.

Exactly.

This led to generations of families

settling squatting rights over kitchen tables-

drawing out the boundaries themselves.

And this list here is tracking

who claimed it-

when and who they passed it on to?

Exactly.

Okay.

Oh!

I never noticed that before!

Noticed what?

The man Patricia bought the land from-

Lester Zimmer.

He was a well-known sleeveen

especially when it came to land transfer.

I'm assuming by sleeveen, you mean a-

A man with a less than reputable character.

Zimmer was known for selling land

that he didn't actually have claim to.

So you're saying Patricia may not have even owned

the land that she vowed to protect?

Though I'm not sure how that

could have led to someone killing her.

It's just-

interesting.

I think we're in trouble.

You have to do something!

Two million dollars-

just sitting on top of a shelf

in a bird's nest.

I mean, still, it could have been passed down to her.

And she kept it, having no idea what it was worth.

Yeah, but she put it in a Red Crossbill's nest.

I mean, there has to be some significance to that.

Yeah I know, Rex.

We're missing something.

I just got a hit on the DNA found on the binocular strap.

Jedediah Harris.

Jedediah-?

-Harris, but not McGee? -Yeah.

Uh, is there a photo?

I sent Jesse his Coast Guard records.

Oh.

Yeah, apparently he went AWOL.

Okay, coming right up.

Yeah, can you throw up a picture

of Patricia's wedding photo as well?

Yeah, you got it.

Here.

That's the same Jedediah-

all right.

Wait, that means-

The DNA found on the murder weapon

belongs to none other than

Patricia's long lost husband.

If Jedediah has returned

after all these years-

where is he now?

Guys, I put out

a BOLO on Jedediah

using the age-adjusted image.

I t won't be 100% accurate.

But it's a start.

He looks like every tourist on this island.

And half the islanders.

Yeah, and comparing it

with passenger arrivals-

no hits.

Photo progression is far from reliable.

Yeah, this is basically AI's version

of a wild guess.

So basically, we're looking for a 45-year-old Caucasian male

who may look like our average Joe

and could have already fled the island for all we know.

But who came back 25 years later

to kill his estranged wife.

Why?

Well, he's listed as the sole beneficiary on her will.

Could it be he's after the land?

Maybe he knew about the ruby ring.

Killed her to inherit that.

I mean, it's all got to be interconnected.

But everything goes back to that Red Crossbill.

We need to find that nesting site soon.

Yeah, see where Patricia was actually killed

and why she was moved.

Analyze that site.

And I'm going to look more into this ring.

A ruby of this size has got to have some history.

Meanwhile, Rex and I are going to get set for that bird hunt

tomorrow.

Not that I

have any doubt that Rex will lead you to the nesting colony-

but, hey, should we put you to the test first?

Rex can pinpoint and track birdsong

better than humans

for a lot of really cool reasons.

Dogs hear more frequencies, right?

Yes, exactly.

Especially higher frequencies.

So we can hear up to 20,000Hz.

Okay.

While dogs can hear up to 40,000.

Wow.

Yeah, that's incredible.

So when Rex hears the birdsong-

he might be hearing additional notes that are

way out of our range.

Exactly.

And his remarkable hearing doesn't end there-

because dogs possess this complex system of at least

18 muscles in each ear canal

enabling them to independently move, tilt, rotate-

and adjust their ears to better capture and locate sounds.

So not only can Rex hear the Red Crossbill song

better than I can.

He can hear more of it

from a further distance, and-

he can track you directly there.

I think we're all set for tomorrow.

Joe, what are you doing here?

It's an hour before shift!

Uh, I never left.

I just grabbed a couple of hours on the couch.

And signed out all these old evidence boxes?

Yeah, yeah I had my coat on.

And then I remembered an old jewellery heist

from back when I was a rookie.

It was hard to find the information.

But you know what?

Check this out.

Wait, did you figure out

how to put the images on the board?

Sort of.

Uh-

Oh, here it is.

It's Patricia's ring.

Yeah, it was stolen

from the jeweller where I had the ring appraised-

but three owners ago.

And, we have-

a suspect.

His name is Leo Stiles.

We picked him up

two days after the heist

trying to flee the island by ferry.

He was held, questioned, but never arrested.

So therefore, no mugshot.

Exactly.

He was extradited back to the United States

on old warrants.

But the jewels from the heist-

never found.

Huh.

Okay, so you're thinking-

You're thinking that Leo

is actually Patricia's husband under a false name.

And the reason why he disappeared

is because he was extradited?

You are reading my mind.

He was released, returned-

came to claim the jewels

and then maybe Patricia got in his way.

Okay.

I'll call the prison where he was incarcerated.

See if they can send over an image, if he was released.

No, I'm one step ahead of you-

young detective.

See, the thing is, he was extradited back to California.

It's still the middle of the night there.

So we may need to wait on that information.

Now Joe's stealing my mojo.

Mo-Joe!

Okay, Rex.

So we're just going to follow that birdsong-

to find their nesting site.

Seems doable.

But I, uh-

yeah, I have a feeling-

that I'm not hearing-

what you're hearing.

Clever boy.

Okay.

What do you have there?

A bird's nest, and-

shotgun shells.

Get him!

Go!

Go!

Rex!

Easy, boy.

Let him go.

No plates on the truck.

No-white.

Nondescript.

So no one was actually shooting at you?

No, shotgun fire was at a distance.

It's possible it wasn't even connected

to the shells that I found on the ground-

or the guy who fled.

Or it could have been Jedidiah and an accomplice.

You guys are going to need backup

if you plan on going out there again.

The more people, the more noise, the more targets.

I was trained to track

in dense brush in the military, Joe.

Stealth is your best friend.

That and a dog.

First I need to add a bit more intel.

I'm meeting up with Sarah, get her insights-

see if we can track this killer out of the bush

before we head back in.

Okay?

It appears to be a Red Crossbill's nest.

The cup-like shape and the colour of the eggs.

I'll do a DNA test, to be certain.

Why would Jedidiah-

or anyone be shooting down nests?

To silence the birds, perhaps.

You and Rex were tracking their nesting area

via their birdsong.

Right to the edge of the colony, by the looks of it.

So get rid of the birds, you get rid of their song.

Yeah, and stop anyone from finding their nesting site.

People-

or police.

Now, it's odd to find

a survey spike on her land.

By all accounts, Patricia was never going to sell.

So maybe someone needed her dead

before they could close the deal.

Someone like her husband-

getting ready to sell after he inherits?

Well, let's see what Torbay Surveyors

has to say about that.

Thanks, Sarah.

Come on, Rex.

Joe, hey.

Prison in California got back to us.

Sent us an image of Leo Stiles-

the suspect in the old jewellery robbery.

That's definitely not Patricia's husband.

Damn, I really thought I was on to something.

Well Joe, you still might be-

because I combed through Patricia's journals-

the ones that you had booked into evidence-

and found the exact date that Jedediah disappeared.

And-?

It was two days after the jewellery robbery.

Said he had to take care of something.

Then he gave her a red ring before he left.

There's definitely a connection.

That is great work.

Well done, Jesse.

Yes-I'm reclaiming my vibe!

Sorry-what?

What did you say?

Okay look, we need to contact the prison again

and see if we can set up an interview with Leo Stiles.

Uh-no can do.

He passed away a month ago.

Oh, it seems like it's one step forward-

two steps back with this case.

All right.

We still contact the prison.

We see if there's someone that we can talk to.

Someone who knew this man well, okay?

After 25 years in there-

he's got to have spoken to somebody about the robbery.

Someone-

who can lead us to Jedediah.

I couldn't find anything.

Maybe the police already have it?

I need to see you.

Where can we meet?

You know, it's illegal

to remove an official survey spike?

Well, I'm a police officer investigating a homicide.

I think it's okay.

Well, I don't feel comfortable

divulging confidential client information.

Oh, really?

Was it the owner of the property-

the murder victim-who hired you to survey her land?

No.

No.

So you were, in fact, trespassing

when someone else hired you.

Weren't you just mentioning the legalities of surveys?

Listen, they talked me into it.

They said there was some question

about who owned the land anyway.

That they were going to fight for ownership in court.

Yeah, I don't need excuses.

I need a name.

Oh, Detective!

Uh-make any headway on the investigation?

Ah, these things take time.

Just here to ask a few more questions.

How can I help?

Oh, no, the questions are not for you.

The questions are for Topher!

Hey.

What was that about?

I don't know.

As I recall-

you said you didn't even know

where Patricia's land was.

I was nervous.

Okay?

Patricia and I just had a very public argument

right before she was killed.

I also remember you asking

if you had killed her-

why you would bring your tour group to find her.

It doesn't make any sense.

Unless you were working with someone else.

Have you been in contact with Patricia's husband, Jedediah?

Who?

No!

Did he offer to sell you the land if you helped him?

Agree

to find Patricia's body?

Okay, this is insanity.

Because we, uh-

We suspect that Patricia was killed on her own land

protecting the Red Crossbills.

And whoever killed her

didn't want a search party coming through there.

Who would go to that extent to hide a bunch of birds?

But it was you running through the woods yesterday.

Didn't you drive away

in that white pickup

over there?

That was you!

I thought I was being chased by some maniac with a shotgun.

Look.

I'll admit-

I was trying to get Patricia's land.

I was in the woods to get those spikes

so I wouldn't be implicated.

But I did not kill Patricia.

And I am not working with anyone.

Mm-hmm.

Who are you hiding, Topher?

Is Jedediah in here?

I have never met

a Jedediah in my life.

I have.

But I swear I haven't seen him in over 25 years.

So tell me if I've got this straight.

You two were plotting to falsely claim

that Patricia really didn't own her own land-

so you could pressure her into selling

before she lost it outright?

It was for her own good.

She was going to lose the house.

And I knew her birds would be safe with Topher.

I want to open up a bird sanctuary with

boardwalks going through

so people can see the Red Crossbills

and fight to protect them.

And make some money along the way.

Well, commerce is not a crime.

But fraud is.

And now we've found out that you

entered Patricia's house illegally.

A neighbour called in.

I told her not to go.

I was just looking for the letter I'd sent

claiming the title

was under review.

Are you sure you weren't looking for this?

That's the ring Jedidiah gave Patricia

the day he left.

Were you aware that Jedidiah was involved in a jewellery heist

just days before?

I had no idea.

Are you saying this thing is real?

How could it be?

He gave it to her in a cross bill nest.

Like a sweet joke or a riddle.

Which she kept there till her dying day.

The cross bill colony was very special to them.

Their secret place that only they could find.

So even you haven't been there?

I tried-

trespassing a couple of times-

just following the birdsong.

But-

the bush is just so dense.

And after the birds are gone and the song stops-

I don't know why you'd bother-

Well, without the song to guide you

it would be next to impossible to find where they nest.

Even for Jedidiah, after 25 years.

You don't think he's involved in this?

After all this time?

We have evidence that strongly suggests he was.

Even after he left her, I-

always believed in their love.

To think she might have died at his hand.

You think the jewels are hidden where the cross bills nest?

That's exactly what I think.

Yeah.

Jedediah and Leo robbed the jewellery store-

then hid the jewels where only they could find them

and then planned on returning when the heat was off.

Yeah, but Leo was caught and died in prison.

And then when he finally returned-

Patricia surprised him.

Wrong place, wrong time.

But when the birds are nesting

is the only time you can find that spot.

I mean, they were destined to stumble on each other.

Yeah.

And she was destined to be on the wrong side of that.

Which, I guess, sounds good.

But why is Jedediah still out there-

shooting down nests-

silencing birds so no one can track them to the site?

Presumably-

he knew exactly where the jewels were hidden.

So why not

just return, take them and run?

And why take so long to get them back in the first place?

Hey, guys.

You're going to want to get in on this telecall.

I got Leo's long- time prison guard

calling in from the States.

Okay.

Let's get Sarah too.

Leo was an old head even when I first started work here.

Meaning he's been in prison a long time.

25 years, by the time he died.

Spent his days talking about the heists he pulled.

He knew he was going to die in here, so why not brag?

Did he ever mention a jewellery heist in Newfoundland, Canada?

Or a partner named Jedidiah?

I'm not sure.

I know he claimed to have a stash of loot somewhere-

hidden where no one could find it.

Did he leave any journals behind?

Letters from the outside?

No, nothing like that.

You know, it's too bad you didn't call a few weeks ago.

His cellmate was just released.

Yeah, Bradley spent a couple of years with Leo.

Probably heard every story a million times.

Okay, well-

if you send over Bradley's record-

we might be able to track him down.

Absolutely.

Will do.

But be careful.

Bradley Hoffman seems nice enough.

But he's a stone-cold killer.

Got out on a technicality after his third appeal.

Thanks.

Here's Bradley's record.

That's Colin Crawford-

the birder who found Patricia's body.

Find him.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll check in with the motel- and Topher.

He's been released.

We need to move into that forest.

It's miles of thick brush.

Can the tactical unit get us that kind of coverage?

We don't need tactical.

Right, right.

All we need is stealth and a dog.

There could be two of them out there, Mark.

Jedediah's DNA was on the murder weapon.

He's connected somehow.

Well then we bring him in too.

We spook them-

they could disappear into those woods-

and we never bring them in.

Tactical's there.

They will stay 20 yards back.

It's the final answer.

Okay.

Come on, Rex.

All right.

Just hold here.

And wait for my signal.

Come on, Rex.

Let's find this guy

before he brings down any more cross bills.

Well, someone's looking for something, all right.

We've got to be close.

What is it, Rex?

Who's your friend?

I think we might have found Jedediah.

I guess his partner didn't want to split the loot.

Easy, easy.

Stealth.

You want to take him, or shall I take him?

Shut up or I'll shut you up!

Okay, sure.

Ughh!

Shots fired!

Team one, proceed with caution.

You looking for something down there, Colin?

Or should I call you Brad?

Who's identity did you steal-?

You know-

along with all your other crimes?

I'm just out here searching for birds.

Oh, is that right?

Okay, okay.

But you've been here before, yes?

You came looking for the jewels.

But all you found was Jedediah.

Did Patricia come across you the same day

that you stumbled on Jedediah's remains?

Hmm?

Is that why you killed her?

What are you doing here?

You!

And then-

moved the body

to try and protect the location of the jewels

while you continued to search?

A man would nearly kill himself-

pulling that much weight through the brush.

You're a determined man though.

Right?

I think you're looking in the wrong place, to be honest.

How's that?

Jedidiah gave Patricia a ring after the heist.

Put it in a Red Crossbill nest.

I think a little bird just told me where to find the stash.

Well someone's getting steak dinner tonight!

Well, it turns out there were three million dollars worth

of jewels in the cross bills' nest-

not including the ring.

More importantly, Colin-

aka Brad-

is back behind bars where he belongs.

Well Sarah had mentioned

that Jedidiah's DNA was found

all over the gloves

at the crime scene.

It's a miracle

that the sample on the bino strap hadn't been degraded.

Yeah, it's like Jedidiah

was literally getting his revenge from the grave.

He and Patricia are going to be

laid to rest together.

I think they'd appreciate that.

The land-

is going to be turned into a sanctuary-

just like Patricia wanted.

Yeah, well I'm just glad that the Red Crossbills are safe-

and that you and Rex now have a little patch to dip into.

You'd better get your bins ready for this lifer.

I can't even pretend-

I have no idea what you just said.

Got it back.

All right, who's ready for dinner?

Well Sarah and Donovan will be here any minute.

What are we having?

Roast duck.

Just kidding, twitchers.

It's steak.

Rex!

Oh, nice catch!
