(LEAH LAUGHING)

LEAH: I think we should go to
St. Pierre for our anniversary.

It would be so romantic.

I thought you had
your heart set on Fogo?

Dinner at the inn. Walk the trails.

Why can't we have two
anniversaries and do both?

Like a double honeymoon?

Exactly.

(PHONE RINGING)

Oh.

Really?

Oh please, don't be work.

- (SHAWN SIGHS)
- Yup.

Hello?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

No, no, it's okay.

I'll be right there.

What is it?

A pipe broke at the office

and there's water pouring everywhere

and they need a key.

- Who does?
- Security.

This is gonna take 15 minutes, max.

Keep my spot warm, okay?

Deal.

Hurry.

(HUGE EXPLOSION)

Shawn!

Oh my God!

Shawn!!

Shawn!!!

(SIRENS)

(FIRMEN INDISTINCT YELLING)

LEAH: Please! My husband's in there!

You have to help him!

Please hurry!

Shawn!!!

Shawn!!!

DONOVAN: Hey, Charlie.
I just got off the phone

with the fire marshal's office.

There was a suspicious
explosion last night

I'd like you to look into.

Sarah's also got some preliminary
forensics to go over with you.

Yeah, I'm on it.

What do you say, partner?

Go pay a visit to Sarah?

(REX WHINES)

What's with him?

Well, sometimes he doesn't like
to go see Sarah in forensics

because he has to wait
out in the hallway.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Contamination issues.

Actually, you know what?
I'm gonna go get a coffee.

Maybe he wants to join?

(REX MURMURS)

Yeah! You've got yourself a date.

All right.

- (REX BARKS)
- SARAH: The victim's name was Shawn Mueller.

His body's being examined
by a pathologist as we speak

but given the severity of the blast,

I expect he was killed instantly.

Why's the explosion being
considered suspicious?

Well, Shawn received a phone call

saying he was needed at his office.

Some sort of plumbing problem.

Anyway he went into the garage

and then seconds later,
the vehicle exploded.

Anyone check with his office?

There was nothing wrong with the pipes

and no call was made from there.

Someone lured him into his garage.

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

I don't suppose that Shawn's
phone survived the fire?

- Unfortunately not.
- Ah.

What caused the explosion?

Take a look at this gas tank.

Yeah. Ruptured outward.

- Is this the point of origin?
- Yeah.

Something ignited the gas
inside causing it to explode.

Now do you recognize this?

Yeah. It's a trailer light harness.

It's used to connect the trailer
lights to your vehicle's system.

- I have one in my car.
- Yeah, well then you know

that it's really just
a fancy extension cord

with power running through it.

And you see these two wires?

I'm pretty sure they were leads.

They would have run from
the harness to the igniter

which had been placed
inside the gas tank.

So when the victim turned his car on

electricity would go down
the harness to the igniter.

Causing the explosion.

- Did you find the igniter?
- Not yet, but I'm sure it's here somewhere,

most likely in hundreds of pieces.

And burnt to a crisp.

Well, still, maybe I can reassemble it.

Great. It might be the
key to finding our killer.

All right, bud. You ready
to head back upstairs?

Yeah.

Oh my God!

Jesse!

Veena! It's great to see you!

What brings you here?

Just looking after some paperwork.

Seems my whole life is
paperwork these days.

- Who's your handsome friend?
- Oh, this is Rex.

Hello, Rex.

- He's fantastic.
- Yeah. Yeah, he's really special.

- I didn't know you were a dog lover.
- Yeah, yeah.

Maybe we could meet up
sometime and walk our dogs.

I've got a Lab.

That sounds amazing.

It will be a lot of fun.

- See you soon, I hope.
- Yeah. Me too.

Okay.

DONOVAN: Jesse. Charlie wants
you to get Rex back to him.

He says he'll meet you out by his car.

Right, right. Okay.

- Who's that?
- Huh?

Oh, that's Veena, we met at a
party a couple of months ago.

You know, I thought about asking
her out way back when, but,

she didn't really seem into me.

Oh!

Well, it looks to me like something
must have changed her mind.

Something must have, yeah.

(REX GRUNTS)

LEAH: I'm still trying
to figure out what to do.

There's smoke damage.

I can't live here.

I'm not sure I want to.

I still haven't cleared
last night's dishes.

- Sorry.
- No, there's nothing to be sorry about, Mrs. Mueller.

It's Leah.

Leah. I'm gonna to need
to ask you a few questions.

Sure. Of course.

But I don't understand.

Do the police always investigate
this kind of accident?

Well, we suspect your husband's
death wasn't an accident

based on the fire
department's initial report.

(LEAH SIGHS) I didn't think
this could get any worse.

Can you think of anyone who
might've wanted to harm him?

No. No.

Shawn was a sweet, caring person.

He donated to charities

and volunteered his time. He...

- He had so many friends.
- Mm-hmm.

The call your husband received,
any idea who made that?

- None.
- Think back.

Could you hear a voice?

It sounded like a man's voice, but
I couldn't identify anything he said.

Um, besides you and your husband,

anyone have access to your garage?

Anyone could have gotten
in. We never locked it.

I guess we should have.

Thank you for your
time. That's it for now.

If you think of anything,
you reach out please.

(REX GROWLS)

(REX BARKS)

Rex, go.

(REX BARKS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(REX BARKING)

So you're telling me
this kid just vanished?

Yeah. He even slipped through
the uniforms that responded.

JESSE: Well whoever he is, he
must know the neighbourhood.

- Is there any chance he's just a lookie-loo.
- Then why run?

DONOVAN: I don't know,
you'll have to ask him that

when you bring him in.

Jesse, tell me about the
phone call that Shawn received?

Well I tracked the number, but,

it was a dead end. It was a burner phone

bought with cash at a flea market.

Any neighbours see anybody
around the victim's garage?

No one saw anything suspicious

which suggests the perp knew

the comings and goings
of the neighbourhood.

Maybe he blended in so much
that nobody even noticed him.

Anything else?

I talked to Shawn's employees,
neighbours, fellow volunteers.

I mean, Leah's description
of him checks out.

Everybody loved the guy.

Okay, I want you guys to do a
rundown of all known firebugs.

And pay special attention
to anyone who uses

- the same technique as the trailer harness.
- On it.

Come on, partner.

(DOORBELL)

- Hey, Sarah.
- SARAH: Hi!

I picked up Thai. Hope that's okay?

Oh! You're a mind reader.

I also brought autopsy results.

And we've got some other
forensics for us to go over.

Yes, Rex.

I brought you something too!

- You want a beer?
- Ah yeah, sure.

So, did the autopsy turn up anything?

Nothing helpful. The
injuries were consistent

with what you'd expect
from an explosion.

How about the igniter?

I went through the
debris from the garage

but nothing yet. I mean,
I'm sure it's there,

albeit in fragments but it
might take me weeks to find it

and even then I'll still
have to reassemble it.

Oh.

Looking into arsonists, huh?

Yeah.

You made any discoveries?

I was just re-confirming that

arson is not really used
as a means of homicide.

Firebugs light fires for
the feeling of gratification.

It's a kind of a
psychological fulfillment.

So you're thinking
murder first and foremost.

Yeah. The purpose of this rig

was to have somebody
in the driver's seat

when the vehicle exploded.

The question now is:

who'd want to do that to the
nicest guy in all of St. John's?

Thanks.

(ROCK MUSIC)

Jesse!

Veena! Hey, what's up?

Paperwork. Again.

But I thought while I was
here I'd say hi to you and Rex.

Oh, that's fantastic!

Rex isn't with you?

No. No no, he... he
only comes in some days.

- Ah, I see.
- Yeah.

Well, I was thinking
maybe on the weekend,

we could meet up for coffee
and take the dogs for a walk?

Yeah! Yeah, that sounds...
That would be great.

Perfect. Well, I'll text
you later in the week

- and we can lock in a time.
- Okay.

- I'm really looking forward to it.
- Yeah, me too.

All right.

You two really seem
to be hitting it off.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we really are.

Mm-hmm.

Listen, I've got an idea about this
teenager that we've been chasing.

I'm thinking he may be a burglar

who's been casing people's
houses while they're away at work.

You think he ran because he was worried

- we'd figure out what he was up to?
- Exactly.

- (PHONE BUZZING)
- Okay, you know what I'll do?

I'll look into recent burglaries

and see if I can come up with anything.

Well, actually, you might
not have to do much digging.

I just got a report
from a security company

that says a silent alarm was triggered

in Leah Mueller's neighbourhood.

- Maybe our guy's back casing houses?
- Yeah.

Well, if he is, let's hope he doesn't
know that he's triggered an alarm.

Charlie.

Looks like we might have a lead.

CHARLIE: Let's go
find this guy, partner.

What is it, partner?
You smell something?

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

Rex, go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(REX BARKING)

This is Detective Charlie Hudson.

We have a suspect on the run. Rex.

(REX BARKING)

What is it, pal?

(REX BARKING)

Good find, partner.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

I've got to tell you, Charlie.
You two are lucky to be alive.

- You're sure you're okay?
- Yeah, yeah. We're good.

Fortunately, Rex spotted those wires.

What happened anyway?

I think the kid we were
chasing was a decoy.

We followed him and he
must have had a partner

- come and rig the car.
- Oh.

So you were targeted.

I don't think so. I mean,
they wouldn't have known

that I was gonna show up.

They probably just went after
the first cop that got there.

DONOVAN: So none of the
neighbours saw anything?

No, but you know what?
A porch cam caught this

just before Charlie found the device.

A grey sedan.

Unfortunately, we couldn't
make out the plates.

DONOVAN: Wait. That could
be the partner leaving.

We tried tracking the
car, but I don't know,

I'm not liking our chances.

There's probably at least a
thousand like it in St. John's.

So the kid just disappeared again?

Yeah, he's an escape artist.

At least now we know how he's doing it.

He's using fence tops and
back yards as sidewalks.

We put together a composite drawing

based on your description.

DONOVAN: He could be a minor.

You know, I'm gonna go check
the young offender files,

to see if I can find anything
related to arson or explosions.

Well, it looks like Sarah's got
something. All right, partner.

Hey, you know we have to go
back to forensics sometime, huh?

(REX WHINES)

You know what, Charlie? He
can just stay here with me.

Really?

Okay. Don't make a habit
of this. Understand?

You know what? Um, actually,

this weekend, I was thinking
of going for a big long walk.

- (REX YELPS)
- You know,

I thought maybe Rex might want to join?

- Uhh. Hmm.
- (REX BARKS)

Yeah, I guess he'd like that.

Great.

- (REX YELPS)
- Yes, we're gonna have a great time.

Hey, Sarah. You got something for me?

Oh my God, Charlie.

How are you two doing?

Rex is fine.

And you?

Ah, you know. Shaken, not stirred.

What's up?

Well, I determined the wire
your car was rigged with

is the same type that was
used on Shawn's vehicle.

Suggesting we're dealing
with the same perp.

Yes. More importantly, though,

I got to examine the igniter.

It's an electronic blasting cap.

And it turns out luck was with you.

- What do you mean?
- The leads from the trailer harness,

they weren't pushed past the insulation

inside the blasting cap.
They weren't making contact.

Meaning it could never have gone off.

Exactly. On the one
hand, fortunate for you.

On the other, it's an
oddly sloppy mistake

for someone who seems to
know what they're doing.

Maybe it means there was something else.

I'm gonna try to track down
where the blasting cap came from.

If I can figure that out, then we
might have a line on the killer.

Okay great, you let me
know when you hear anything.

Okay.

- Charlie.
- Mm-hmm.

That's two explosives
planted by the same perp.

I know.

We may be dealing with a serial bomber.

Jesse, Sarah examined the igniter.

Electronic blasting caps, right?

Yeah, how did you guess that?

Well, I was looking into some
files of some known arsonists

and came across this guy.

Richard Turner.

He goes by the name Richie for short.

Now, he was arrested a few years
ago for a string of car arsons.

Now his MO was using
a trailer hitch harness

wired to a blasting cap.

- Was anyone killed?
- No.

No, see he made a point
of stealing the owner's fob

and then detonating the car remotely

while nobody was around.
And, here's the other thing.

He was also granted early
parole a couple of months ago.

Well, if he is our guy,

he's decided to let
people blow themselves up.

Why'd he change his MO?

Maybe it was personal. Maybe
he had something against Shawn.

Okay. See if you can find a
link between him and Richie.

- Will do.
- What I don't get is

why he would go after
a responding officer.

Maybe...

Maybe he's holding some sort
of grudge about being arrested.

- Who arrested Turner?
- St. John's Regional.

But actually, who cracked
the case was an investigator

over at Seafair Insurance.
His name is Phil Cummings.

Okay, you find Richie Turner,

- I'm gonna go talk to Phil.
- Yeah.

(SOFT ELECTRIC GUITAR)

- Cream?
- CHARLIE: No, I'm good.

Thank you for seeing me on your day off.

Not a problem.

So Richie Turner's
back in business is he?

Well, we don't know that for sure

but he is a person of interest.

If he is our guy, he might be
trying to get revenge on the people

who put him in prison.

So that might include you.

I appreciate the heads up.

Firebugs. They are a strange breed.

Richie was really out there.

I can't tell you how happy I was

when the insurance company let me
switch from investigation to sales.

Hmm.

What can you tell me about Richie?

Six vehicles exploded over four months.

All in high end neighbourhoods
around the peninsula.

A miracle no one was hurt.

How did you get onto him?

Well, we figured they were
using some sort of blasting cap.

So I started tracking
down who'd bought them.

It took me almost a month
to come across Richie's name.

Mmm.

Richie's never killed before.

Any idea why he might start now?

Richie seems like a reasonable
guy when you talk to him.

A good guy, even.

But I always felt there was
something else going on inside.

He loved fires.

Big ones. Explosions.

Maybe he's just decided
to take it further.

Any idea how he'd choose his victims?

He would find a car or
a truck that he liked.

Maybe the colour or the tires.

- Whatever caught his eye.
- That's it?

That's it.

It's hard to wrap your
head around but that's it.

And then he would stalk the owners.

Figure out a way to
steal the fob and then...

boom.

He loved the explosions
as much as the fire.

So nothing personal about his victims.

No.

Anything else I can help you with?

No, that's good for now.

Thanks, I'm gonna show myself out.

- Rex.
- (PHONE CHIMING)

Hey, Jesse. Any luck
finding Richie's address?

Not yet but I got something else.

Apparently Leah and Shawn's neighbours

heard them having some
very loud arguments.

They got so bad, they
almost called the police.

- When was that?
- A couple of months ago.

Maybe not everything is
so great on the home front.

Let's bring her in.

What were you and your
husband arguing about?

Nothing that hundreds of couples
haven't fought about before.

We were drifting apart.

Shawn was volunteering so much.

And I guess was feeling neglected.

But we found a solution
and we worked things out.

What was that?

I began helping out,

tagging along and volunteering

and helping with fundraisers.

And he started spending
more evenings at home.

It all seems so petty
now that he's gone.

Do you recognize this man?

No, I don't think so.

Who is he?

Well, right now, he's
a person of interest.

How about him?

- Is that the kid you chased?
- Yeah.

I'm sorry, I don't recognize him.

You ever see this car
in your neighbourhood?

No. I don't think so.

I'm sorry. I feel like I'm
being absolutely no help.

(LEAH SIGHS)

Like I'm constantly letting Shawn down.

I mean maybe.

Maybe I've seen it before. I just...

I can't be sure.

- The officer will see you out.
- Thank you.

So what do you think?

I know lots of people who've
quarreled over those very same things.

Present company included.

Yeah, guilty here as well.

Something tells me she's
holding something back though.

What, about the car?

Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Maybe something else.

Guys, hey. I got the
address for Richie Turner.

Richie Turner?

- Yeah?
- Detective Hudson, SJPD.

Hey, look. I checked in with
my parole officer yesterday,

- just like I'm supposed to.
- No, I'm investigating a recent vehicle explosion

- and another attempted one.
- Okay.

Look, I get why you're
talking to me, I do,

- but I don't do that sort of thing anymore.
- No?

But they were both triggered
by a trailer light harness

that was wired to a
blasting cap in a gas tank.

Wait, that was your MO, wasn't it?

Yeah. That's how I used to do it.

Okay, I admit that. But look,

I've done my time and
I've done all my therapy.

I mean, I don't even think
about starting fires anymore.

(REX GROWLS)

(REX BARKING)

- What's in there?
- Just some gardening stuff.

Oh, so you won't mind if I take a look?

- (REX BARKS)
- No, go ahead.

- What have you got, buddy?
- I find it helps with my anxiety.

- Look, there's nothing in there.
- Yeah, my partner disagrees.

(CHARLIE WHISTLES) That's
a lot of blasting caps.

Now, you are either
planning a really big garden

or you're back to blowing up cars.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

CHARLIE: These blasting
caps we found in your shed

are just like ones we found
rigged into a car's gas tank.

I don't know anything about a rigged car

and I have no idea how these
caps ended up in my shed.

Really? Well, if you didn't
put them there, who did?

How am I supposed to know?

It's a frame job.

- Oh, you're being framed?
- It's the only explanation that can be, so...

Uh-huh. Well, that's
an elaborate frame job,

considering they used the
exact same wiring technique

that you used to do three years ago.

I told you that I'm done with all that.

Where have you been
for the past few nights?

Home.

Alone. Trying to stay out of trouble.

Well, I've got bad
news for you, Ritchie.

You're looking at a first
degree murder charge.

Ohhh.

I've never hurt anybody in my life.

Check my record. I used to
blow up vehicles, not people.

What do you know about this guy?

Nothing.

I don't know who this is.

But look, I'm telling you, anybody
could have put these in my shed.

And anybody could be copying the
way that I blew things up too.

I have worked so hard

to stop being the guy that I was.

You have to believe me.

I'm being set up.

DONOVAN: Charlie he
may deny his involvement

but all the evidence
points to Richie Turner.

It's his MO.

He's in possession of
all the equipment needed

and has the know-how to rig your car

in the few minutes you were
chasing the fence runner.

Well, speaking of whom, how does
our fence runner fit into this?

I showed Richie the composite
and he didn't flinch.

Yeah, well he's a good actor.

Well, there's another inconsistency.

Richie doesn't have a grey car.

Maybe the car was a coincidence.

I don't know, Joe.
Something's not adding up.

Charlie, we can hold this
guy for 72 hours. That's it.

We need to find out in that time
whether this is our guy or not

because if he is...

- we can't let him out on the street.
- JESSE: Guys.

I think I have a line
on our fence walker.

- CHARLIE: Yeah?
- Yeah.

I wasn't getting anywhere
looking into burglaries.

So I widened my search to
general prowler reports.

- What did you turn up?
- Well this shot was taken

on a home security cam

three months ago.

The quality of the image
isn't great, but I mean,

how many people can there be out
there walking backyard fences?

Yeah, it's pretty blurry but

I'm pretty sure that's our guy.

JESSE: And these shots were taken

by various security cameras
over the past couple of months.

Now it turns out, there's been
a rash of general prowler reports

- that may be linked to our guy.
- DONOVAN: Any reports of thefts?

Or break-ins? Or any arson attempts?

No, nothing directly linked to
him. But there's also been a rash

of general delivery thefts in
the areas our prowler was spotted.

He's a porch pirate.

He walks the fences scoping
houses to see who isn't home

and then if a delivery
is made to that house,

he sweeps in and steals the package.

I also looked into the dates
of these various sightings.

Looks like our guy might
be a creature of habit.

- Sorry, what do you mean?
- Well, he frequents each area

for precisely one calendar
month before moving on.

July, August, September.

And more specifically, he only
shows up Tuesdays through Thursdays.

- And today being Thursday...
- Means he's probably on the prowl.

- So how do we catch him?
- By using the right bait.

Jesse, see if anyone in the
neighbourhood is on vacation.

JESSE: Yep.

(DRAMATIC SPY MUSIC)

The package is in place.

And the GPS inside the parcel
is transmitting beautifully.

DONOVAN: Charlie? Are
you and Rex in position?

Just a guy and his dog out
for a stroll, right, buddy?

Are you getting the GPS?

- (GPS TRACKER BEEPS)
- Yeah, it's coming through.

So that house, the owners
are gone for eight days.

If our guy's been
scoping the neighbourhood,

- he knows they're gone for sure.
- Okay.

So we just have to wait and
see who grabs the package.

So Jesse, did you ever get
up the nerve to ask Veena out?

JESSE: Well, actually, sort of.

Yeah, we're doing
something this weekend.

Wait a second. Who's this Veena?

Yeah, how come I didn't know about this?

Well, Veena is a paramedic
that Jesse's interested in.

Oh, intriguing!

So what's the plan? What
are you two gonna do?

I don't know. I don't know.

We're just gonna grab
some coffee. No big deal.

Does that mean you're not
taking Rex for his big walk?

- (REX WHINES)
- Oh no, Charlie. I mean...

Of course not. I can
totally manage both things.

- (GPS TRACKER PINGS)
- Oh, wait. The package is on the move.

- Wait, where?
- It is six houses south of your position

moving east on the fences.

All right, Rex. He's not
getting away this time.

- Ready? Let's go. Come on.
- On the move.

DONOVAN: Yeah. He's parallel
to you right now, Charlie.

Looks like he's about
to hit a side street.

(SCREECHING TIRES)

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

Ughhh!

SJPD, kid!

Everyone thinks they can out-run Rex.

You're not the first.

�(Trademark)�

DONOVAN: Connor Meadows. Age 18.

No criminal record.

Looks like he's graduated to theft.

Did he ask for a lawyer?

Says he didn't want one.

Also said he didn't
want to call his parents.

He's not a minor. It's his right.

I guess it's time to figure out
what his role is in all this.

I think Rex might need to pay a visit.

Hmm.

I want to show you something, Connor.

This is you. Isn't it?

In different neighbourhoods.

Over the last several months
prowling in people's back yards.

So, I stole some stuff. Big deal.

Here's the thing.

This isn't just about theft.

It's about murder.

Murder? Wait a minute.

I don't have anything
to do with any murder.

See this man?

That's Shawn Mueller.

He was killed instantly
when his truck exploded.

- Someone rigged it to blow up.
- I wasn't involved in that.

The next day, my K9 partner found
you near his house and you ran.

Why did you run if you
have nothing to hide?

Your dog came after me. I was scared.

Well, this explosive
device was planted in my car

while I was chasing you.

That's adding attempted
murder to the list.

I couldn't have done that. You
just said you were chasing me.

Yeah, but we think you had a partner.

This man right here, Richie Turner.

You lured me away and
he planted the device.

I've never seen this guy before.

This is crazy. I had nothing
to do with any of this.

Really? Okay.

Connor?

Why don't you convince me?

Connor, I'm giving you one chance
at this. Make the most of it.

All right.

The night of the explosion, I was there,

walking the fences, looking for...

- Well, you know what I was looking for.
- So what happened?

I heard the explosion.

The whole place kind of shook.

I went to go see what was up.

I watched the fire trucks arrive.

And I saw how upset that lady was.

You're probably not gonna believe me but

I just wanted to know how she was.

So I came back the next
day to check things out.

And you were there.

Your dog spotted me.

I couldn't get caught. So I ran.

And my car?

I don't know anything about that.

I'd just come back to
scope for empty houses.

I swear that's the truth.

DONOVAN: That's our cue, Rex.

Okay.

Well, we're gonna keep you in
custody until I can prove your story.

The dog's pretty amazing.

If he could climb a fence, he
would have caught me the first time.

Mm-hmm.

He doesn't like just anyone.

Connor.

You told me everything?

When I first started walking
the fences in that neighbourhood,

I was watching the dead guy's house.

I saw something.

What?

It was his wife.

Sometimes when her husband left,

some dude would come visit her.

They were more than just friends.

LEAH: I should've told you
about the affair. I'm so sorry.

It started back when Shawn
and I were having troubles

but I couldn't keep
doing it, so I ended it.

- When?
- About three weeks ago.

Did Shawn know?
- No, no. I never wanted to hurt him.

That's why I broke it off.

How did the other man take it,
when you said that it was over?

He was upset but he accepted it.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna need to
talk to him. What's his name?

I can't tell you that.

Okay, Leah.

Whoever you were involved with,

they could have had something
to do with Shawn's death.

No, he would never
do anything like that.

In my experience, when it comes to love,

people are capable of
just about anything.

But he has a young family.

And this is murder.

Your husband's murder.

You think I don't know that?

You think I don't feel terrible?

I feel so guilty about everything,

I don't think I'll ever
be able to forgive myself.

Leah, you're forcing me
to go and find this man.

But...

no, I just can't do it.

Destroying a family
won't bring Shawn back.

If he has something to
do with Shawn's murder,

then you're gonna be charged
as Accessory After the Fact

and that can be up to 14 years in jail.

I'm sorry,

but I won't help you.

SARAH: Leah flat out refused to
give you the name of her lover?

Yeah, she claims she doesn't
want to destroy his family.

- Do you believe her?
- No, not for a second.

I'm gonna prove she's lying
and use it against her.

Even if Leah had an affair,

it doesn't mean she had something
to do with her husband's death.

That's true. But if she was involved,

it would explain how the killer
gained access to the garage

without being seen
and also how they knew

exactly what to say to lure Shawn there.

Okay. What about this kid,
Connor? How does he fit in?

We've got nothing directly
linking him to the crime.

No hard evidence on
Richie Turner either.

I might be able to help with that.

- Yeah?
- Blasting caps

have batch numbers encoded on them.

So I compared the blasting caps that
you retrieved from Richie Turner's

- with the one that Rex pulled from the car.
- Let me guess.

- They're from the same batch.
- Yes, exactly.

But here's the interesting thing,

That batch was sold to a road
building company here in St. John's.

JESSE: The road
building company reported

some stolen blasting
caps from a job site

- near Argentia four weeks ago.
- Any suspects?

No, none identified.
However a security cam

caught a suspicious
grey sedan in the area

shortly before the theft.

Looks like the one we saw just
after your car was wired, Charlie.

- Yeah.
- Stolen plates?

Mm-hmm. You got it in one.

And that's not the only
explosive information I dug up.

I looked into Shawn and Leah's finances

and came across this.

That looks like a life insurance policy

detailing both Leah and Shawn
as each other's beneficiaries.

Not uncommon for a married couple.

JESSE: Well, here's the
thing. The policy was taken out

three weeks before Shawn was murdered.

Oh, so that's some interesting timing.

Wait. What was the payout?

- Two million dollars.
- All payable to Leah.

Well, maybe she's not as broken
up about her husband's death

- as she's letting on.
- Wait a second, Jesse.

Zoom in on the name of the salesman

- who sold them the policy.
- JESSE: Yeah, sure thing.

CHARLIE: Phil Cummings.

Wait, that's the guy
who was investigating

Richie Turner's car fires years ago.

Yeah, one and the same.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSION)

CHARLIE: Do you recognize this man?

That's him. That's the guy
the wife was making out with.

- You're positive?
- Totally.

So...

do you still think I had
something to do with these murders?

No, I don't think you did.

Connor, can I ask you something?

- I guess.
- Why do you walk the fences?

Why do you care?

There's easier ways to steal packages.

You can just follow a delivery truck.

It makes me think there's more

to walking the fences
than just casing houses.

You really want to know?

I do.

When I watch those houses,

I see how normal people live.

Things aren't so normal at home.

What do you mean?

My mom has this boyfriend.

We don't get along.

Does he come Tuesday to Thursday?

Yeah.

That's why I go out on those days.

Walking the fences,

looking to find out
how normal people live.

(REX MURMURS)

Look, Connor,

you're gonna be charged for
the theft and the trespassing.

You're gonna need a lawyer.

I think you need to tell your mother
before she finds out another way.

I know.

It isn't gonna go well.

Well, there are people who can
help you guys work things out.

I can set you up with them,

if you want.

I think that'd be a good idea.

(REX YELPS)

JESSE: So, I did some
digging into Leah's past.

Now, her real name is Leah Parker.

Her father worked as
an electrical engineer

on huge infrastructure projects.

So the family moved around a lot.

Now here's the thing.

Leah's marriage to Shawn was her fourth.

- I'm sorry, fourth?
- JESSE: Yeah.

Yeah, she was married at 21,

24, 27 and then finally, Shawn, at 30.

God. I quit after my first.

CHARLIE: Yeah. Me too. What
happened to all the husbands?

Nothing. Nothing,
they're all still alive.

She's a serial divorc�e.

That's a lot of alimony settlements.

Yeah, she's doing pretty
well in that department.

Did Shawn know about her history?

Absolutely. That's why he had a
very stringent pre-nup in place.

If they got divorced, she got nothing.

But in the event of Shawn's
death, she gets everything.

Exactly. Not to mention
a huge insurance buyout.

So Leah and Phil want
Shawn out of the way

so they can spend the rest
of their life together.

But Phil finds out that
fire bug Richie Turner

is getting out of prison.

That provides them
with a perfect fall guy.

But why the hit on you and Rex?

Well, Sarah said that the
igniter was improperly wired.

You know what? I bet
that was on purpose.

Yeah, that provides us
with an intact blast cap

and points the finger
directly at Richie Turner.

CHARLIE: Yeah. You know, I
didn't get anywhere with Leah.

Maybe I should try my
luck with Phil Cummings.

Come on, pal.

(SQUEALING TIRES)

(DISTANT SIREN)

Jesse.

No sign of Phil at his house. You
should probably call his office.

Already did. He didn't
show up to work today.

Well, maybe he's at Leah's.

A squad car drove by ut
no sign of either of them.

He could have made a run for it already.

We should probably alert
the airlines and the ferries.

Yeah, we're on it.

Also we'll put an alert
out on his vehicle.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(REX BARKS)

Hey, Jesse, hold on a second.
I think Rex found something.

I'll call you back.

Okay.

(REX SNIFFING)

Rex?

(REX BARKS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(REX SNIFFING)

You got here too soon.

- Leah.
- Ah! Stay where you are.

If I press this,

kaboom.

I know all about your plan:

you and Phil having an affair.

Oh! You're not just a pretty face.

Yeah. We met at one of
Shawn's boring charity events.

We started talking.

One thing led to another.
You know how it goes.

Let me guess. A couple of
months from now, you two would

accidentally
bump into each other,

probably fall in love and get married

and maybe eventually there'd even
be an insurance policy on Phil.

Hmm. Yeah, I thought about that.

But I didn't want to get greedy.

You weren't planning on getting married?

No.

It turns out the affair was
exciting but Phil wasn't.

Wow, you really fall in
and out of love a lot.

I have commitment issues.

So where's Phil now?

He wasn't feeling well.
It was something he ate.

(REX SNIFFING)

I wasn't gonna kill him. Yet.

Later would have been
much less suspicious.

But plans change.

I'll tell them you sacrificed
yourself getting me to safety outside

but died heroically trying to stop Phil

from detonating one of his bombs.

Oh well.

Leah.

Don't do anything you're gonna regret.

See that's the thing, Detective.

I don't really have regrets.

I think you're gonna
have a lot of regrets.

Good job, pal.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Great, thanks.

So that was the hospital.

Phil Cummings is recovering.

Leah had poisoned him.

He's confessed to everything

and they're both being
charged with Shawn's murder.

SARAH: So I guess that means
Richie Turner is in the clear.

CHARLIE: Yeah. I called
his parole officer

to let him know he had no involvement.

And what about Connor?
What happened to him?

Well, him and his parents
are gonna see a counselor

and they're committed to working it out.

- Oh! That's good news.
- Yeah, it is.

Well...

Rex, what do you say
we call it a day? Hmm?

Come on, pal.

(DOOR LOCK BEEPS)

VEENA: Hey, Rex! How are you?

Oh, seems like you two have met.

We have.

Jesse introduced us.

My name is Veena.

Oh yeah! Um,

Jesse's mentioned you. I'm Charlie.

- VEENA: Nice to meet you.
- CHARLIE: You too.

Rex is pretty special.

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky
to have him as a partner.

Rex is your partner?

Yeah, pretty much joined at the hip.

VEENA: That's quite a coincidence.

Jesse led me to believe that
he had a dog named Rex too!

How about that?

Two identical dogs with the
same name in the same department.

Or maybe there's another explanation?

Yes.

Yes, there is. I mean,
well technically...

Technically, Rex doesn't
belong to Charlie.

He belongs to the
Major Crimes Department.

You know, and seeing as I'm
part of the department then...

I blew it, didn't I?

Big time.

Well, it was nice to meet you all.

- Bye, Rex.
- (REX BARKS)

Bye, Veena!

- That was awkward.
- Yeah, wasn't it?

CHARLIE: Well I think,

we should look on the bright side.

At least you're taking Rex for his
really big walk this weekend, right?

- Right. Yes.
- (REX BARKS)

Yeah, you know, Charlie, maybe
you should consider cloning Rex.

Okay?

Easier on everybody.

Rex.

Me.

Next time on Hudson & Rex...

Terrance Oswald.

His body found painted with a red X

just like the old Duane Laford murders.

Rex and I are going to talk with
the VP of Oswald Development.

Terrance did not need my
help building a bad rep.

My dad was a hard man to get close to.

(DRUMMING AND CHANTING)

(REX HOWLS)

Do you know a man named Terrance Oswald?

- Only by name.
- The murder last night

mimicked your father's crimes.

He never murdered anyone.

Looks like we really do have
a serial killer on our hands.
