Joan: Okay.

Chef David.

Please tell me about
your Beef Wellington.

What I've prepared

will satisfy the most
intense meat cravings.

But-

it is 100 per cent
plant-based.

I think you'll find-

that my Vegan
Wellington lacks nothing

in terms of taste
or texture-

Plus, it has the added benefit
of a social conscience.

Okay.

Mmm, that's savoury.

It's juicy and tender.

Oh, it's very surprising.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Chef Gregory.

Hello, Joan.

Hello!

Please, tell me-

about your
Beef Wellington.

Imagine Arthur Wellesley,
Duke of Wellington

being fed some plant protein
concoction, right before-

defeating Napoleon
in the battle of Waterloo.

[Chef Gregory chuckles]

We'd all be speaking
French right now.

[Joan laughs]

I have prepared-

a mouth-watering
young calf-

wrapped in a rich,
buttery pastry.

Because-

why mess with
the classics?

Okay, let's see!

It's a little
bit tough.

That's impossible.

Maybe the

Yeah, just one second.

You know what?

Let's make this interesting.

A little eating contest.

First one to win earns
bragging rights, okay?

Ready, and-

Go!

[phone buzzing]

Kind of
cheating, I think.

But-

Alright, pal.

Time to go.

[Rex barks]

Another meal left uneaten.

Let's go.

♪♪
[upbeat theme music]

How bad is it?

Actually, we got lucky.

Chef Gregory prepared a
perfectly rare Beef Wellington

leaving the integrity of
the thumb fairly intact.

Enough to give us
a read on anything?

We know it's Caucasian.

Definitely subjected
to butchery.

It's a clean slice-

right through
the bone.

Well, that doesn't give
us much to go on.

It's all I've got.

We're still
waiting to see

what comes back from
the thumb print we lifted.

Which means there
could be somebody

tied up in a
basement somewhere

bleeding out of a
missing thumb hole.

I've sent the thumb
in for processing-

along with
all the knives

we found on site.

Can you let me know as soon
as you hear anything back?

Yeah, of course.

Chef Gregory: You idiot!

Holly!

Do I need to tell you
what a sous-chef does?

Charlie: Is that
Chef Gregory?

The one and only.

He's a little
fired up.

He keeps insisting

that he oversaw every step
of the meal's preparation.

That makes you
wonder why

he baked in a
human thumb!

-Hey.

Have you ever prepared
a Beef Wellington?

Can you cook that
in a microwave?

It was a staple in my
house growing up.

Little known fact-

It's chilled for about
thirty minutes

immediately prior to baking.

Meaning there
was a window

where someone could
have swapped it out.

Yeah, maybe
someone in the crew?

Mm-hmm.

Maybe someone slipped in
the back door, unnoticed.

Wouldn't be
too hard either.

No security
cameras in the area.

Everyone's buzzing
around a TV set.

Yeah, the question
is, though-

who would go to this length
to discredit Chef Gregory?

Hmm.

Chef Gregory: You scumbag!

This is low,
even for you!

What, you don't
think I know

it was you that put
that thumb in there?

Just calm down!
-Yeah, I'll calm down!

[Rex growling]

Ughh!

Ughhh.

Good job, partner.
[Rex barks]

Detective Hudson.

I see you've
met Rex.

Come on.

Ughhh.

Chef Gregory:
You want to know

who's behind this, huh?

This guy right here!

Charlie: I
do and I will.

But first, I'm going
to talk to you.

Come on.

Chef Gregory: I invited
Chef Dave onto my show

to settle the debate
once and for all.

What debate is that?

Who's the better
chef, obviously.

I mean-

not that there was
ever any doubt.

This whole thing is a
PR nightmare, okay?

Do you know

what this could
do to my rep?

Well, I could care less
about your rep.

That thumb
belongs to a person.

That person
could still be alive.

So why don't we
try this again?

Why would Chef Dave
try and sabotage you?

He doesn't like me.

Why not?

Why don't you go
ask him yourself?

[Rex barks]

I have no idea what
he's talking about.

Charlie: You're sure?

Because there has
to be some reason

why Chef Gregory
accused you of sabotage.

Maybe he can't
let go of the past.

[Rex sniffing]

We used to
be partners.

We had a restaurant
together-

back in the day.

What happened?

It went under.

He insisted-

on an old
school menu.

I kept pushing-

for vegan
options.

-Mm-hmm.

So you blamed
him for the failure?

Oh, he blamed me.

He went online.

Started making jabs.

Making fun of
my vegan ways.

I sometimes think he
became this caricature

of a boorish meat-
eater, just to spite me.

Huh.

Oh, that must've
upset you.

Yeah, a little.

He used to be one
of the good ones.

You know-

he once told me that
the act of sharing a meal

is what saved his
parents' marriage.

Right.

As if it's ever
really that easy.

Never underestimate the
power of food, Detective.

It's the great equalizer.

[Rex sniffing]

Chef Gregory understood
that once, too.

Back when he
respected his craft.

And now?

-Now, it's all about
the angry chef act.

It's made him lose
track of what matters.

I do not work
that way.

And how do
you work?

Ethically. Locally.

Growing lettuce
in the garden

instead of trucking
it in from Mexico.

Oh, and I happen
to respect people.

And dogs.

So, you had nothing
to do with this thumb?

Do I look like the
kind of person

who carries around an
assortment of human appendages?

I'm only asking
about one.

My brand is about
100% compassion.

Veganism isn't
just a diet.

It's a lifestyle.

It's a little off-
brand for me.

Okay, well, if you had
nothing to do with this

then do you
have any idea

who might want to
sabotage Chef Gregory?

The real question is-

who wouldn't?

What do you mean?

The angry chef
act may be fake.

But the
fallout is real.

Jesse: This is
from an episode

where Chef Dave's staff

faced off against
Chef Gregory.

You call that cooked?

You [bleep]
waste of space!

That is stone
[bleep] cold!

Hey!

Look at me in the [bleep] eyes
when I'm talking to you!

You can't cook for [bleep]!
[Rex whining]

Ah, you call
that seared?

No, it's [bleep]!

Stick it up
your [bleep]!

Get out of
my kitchen!

Go! [bleep]

Idiot!

Yeah, I
don't get it.

It seems pretty
fake to me.

Yeah, but not
everyone knows that.

For some contestants-

the line between real and
not real can get blurred.

Jesse: Yeah, it's
not like reality TV

attracts the most
stable contestants.

I mean, there have been at
least 40 ex-reality TV stars

who have
died by suicide.

This is what happens
when humiliation goes viral.

Maybe that's what Chef
Dave meant by fallout.

Jesse: Yeah, but none of
that's happened on this show.

At least not
what I can find

with a quick search.

Yeah.

It doesn't mean that
this guy's behaviour

didn't tick somebody off.

Let's just hope that
this is a tasteless prank

done with an
already dead body.

Except I checked
the local morgues.

All thumbs accounted for.

Which means that there could
be somebody out there

who's dead or in
very serious trouble.

We need to
move fast.

Okay, Jesse.

I need you to pull
every single contestant

that Chef Gregory has
either mocked or humiliated.

Got it.

So our working
theory is revenge.

Well, that sounds better

than a dust-up
over veganism.

Um- I'm
not so sure.

I mean, that's a
polarizing topic.

As a practicing vegan-

I myself have
admittedly adopted

what some might consider-

extreme ideologies.

But- I temper myself.

By eating a BLT?

What?

Yeah, you had
one last week.

[Rex groans]

You asked me to
buy it for you.

Bad news.

Um- okay,
here's the thing.

There are least
500 contestants.

This might
take a while.

Okay, well it looks like
you'd better find someone

to help you
speed it up.

Molly.

Oh!

Thanks for biking all
the way down here.

Molly: Oh.

Chef Gregory deserves it.

But I am telling you,
you're wasting your time.

It's all an act.

I've been his sous-
chef for years.

Trust me, the guy knows
how to drum up ratings.

-Really?

All the yelling, and
threatening, and cursing-

Oh, well-

no one takes
it personally.

They know it's all
a part of the show.

Behind the scenes-

he can actually be a
completely different person.

Well, except in the
immediate aftermath

of finding a
thumb in his meal.

Sure.

Yeah.

I mean, the night before the
whole thumb incident-

we were working
practically until dawn

developing a new menu.

And it was-

an absolute pleasure.

Well that doesn't
sound like a lot of fun.

Ah well, Chef
Gregory made it fun.

You know, when he isn't
playing to an audience-

he can be
downright genial.

[Rex sniffing]

Oh, good nose, buddy.

[Rex whines]

It's Chilean sea bass.

It's hard to get the
smell out of my hands

even after I
wash them.

So you don't think

that any of Chef Gregory's
previous contestants

would have wanted to put a
severed thumb in his meal?

The only people cracked enough
to pull a stunt like that

are probably those
crazy activists.

Which activists?

-Oh, we have
a couple of-

vegan fanatics that loiter
outside the restaurant.

Oh. Why there?

Chef Gregory isn't the only
chef in town that cooks meat.

Oh, well they've
had it in for him

ever since he
expanded his menu

to include the bison-
[Rex whines]

horse, foie gras.

And then he took
it a step further.

How so?

He was so fed
up with them

loitering outside
the restaurant.

So he decided to
butcher a deer leg

in the window-

right in front
of them.

Mmm.

I mean-

of course, they have
it in for everybody.

I can't even drive
to work anymore.

They've started
egging my car.

That sounds pretty hypocritical.

Oh no.

They were tofu and nutritional
yeast-based eggs, of course.

Is that a thing?

No.
[Charlie laughs]

Listen, do you think those
protestors are down there now?

Yeah, probably.

Pamela Simmons and her
gang is there all the time.

Oh, that is a lot
of paraphernalia.

That's a lot of
sentient beings

that don't belong
on the menu.

-Noted.

Incidentally, dogs that
abide by a strict vegan diet

live longer and healthier,
statistically-speaking.

Really?

Hey!

Come here!

You want a treat?

Hey, bud!

Look, I've got a bunch
of treats for you.

Here you go.

[Rex groans]

Yeah, but are
they happier?

You know what?

That's a question
for another time.

Listen.

I understand that you
and your cohorts here

were protesting last night.

Just exercising our
democratic right.

Are you exercising
your democratic right

to destroy Chef
Gregory's reputation?

You think
that was us?

Just asking questions.

In case you haven't
noticed, we're anti-cruelty.

That extends to humans.

Well, in that case,
you won't mind

giving me a list of all
the protesters' names.

I'm not legally required to
provide you with anything.

No, that's right.

I could just come
back with a warrant.

Let's go, Rex.

For so-called fanatics

these protesters have
pretty clean records.

A few cases of vandalism
and disturbance of the peace.

But nothing that screams
dismembering psychopath.

Tell me you
found something.

Well, the thumb
showed no signs

of having been frozen.

So-

it's likely it hadn't been
separated from its body

for more than a
couple of days.

Any ID?

I was able to
lift a print.

But no matches
in the system.

But based on
the DNA results-

we know the thumb
belongs to a male-

with brown hair.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Anything else?

Actually, yes.

Two substances
under the thumb's nail.

When I
broke it down

it turned
out to be

cornstarch and sacha
inchi protein isolates.

Is there a version
in English?

It's a plant-
based protein

most commonly used
as a meat alternative.

I've never
heard of it.

Neither have I.

But I'll bet we know
someone who has.

Jesse: Sacha inchi.

It's pretty popular
in vegan circles.

I'm surprised
I'm the only one

who's really
heard of it.

What's more surprising is our
token vegan eats pastrami.

Oh, you noticed
that too?

Okay, I had one
or two cheat days.

Big whoop!

Speaking of vegans though-

I went down a bit
of a rabbit hole

and found some interesting
info on the dark web.

It's sort of
a hit list

of some of the greatest
local offenders-

written by your friend,
Pamela Simmons.

Why does that
not surprise me?

Well, what's equally
unsurprising

is that Chef Gregory
made the list

along with a slew of
other meat-loving chefs,

a few
butchers-

and a food scientist
working out of a nearby lab.

Wait. A lab?

You know, that cornstarch-

could have come
from latex gloves.

Jesse, what's the food
scientist's name?

Aaron Tarr.

What was his focus?

Let's see.

Oh, what do
you know?

Looks like he's published

a few research articles

denouncing the health benefits
of a certain vegan product.

Sacha inchi.

♪♪
[suspenseful music]

Sarah: Oh, this is
Aaron Tarr's lab.

It's a big space.

Oh, I detect a
hint of jealousy!

[Rex barking]

What have you
got, partner?

It's not just big.

It's immaculate.

Charlie: Yeah, a little too
immaculate, don't you think?

Almost as if it's been
recently cleaned?

[Rex barks]

What is it, pal?

Can you get
the lights?

-Yeah.

Ohhh.

[Rex barks]

For someone working in
plant-based materials-

[Rex barks]

That is an awful
lot of blood.

So?

So this is definitely
a crime scene.

Okay.

Any other blood
type found?

No, just the one.

We did find blood
and brown hair

on that fire extinguisher.

It was probably
used as a weapon.

Yeah, it's certainly
heavy enough

to do some damage.

Anything back yet

on that thumb
print you lifted?

Yes.

It's official.

The thumb definitely
belongs to Aaron Tarr.

Then where's
the rest of him?

[Rex barks]

Aaron Tarr.

38 years old.

Single.

Lives at home.

He's been working at
this research facility

for just under
five years-

specializing in food sciences.

No sign of him
at his home.

No trace of
his silver SUV.

And he hasn't
shown up to work.

What else
do we know?

-I was scanning
some of his work.

And a research
paper of his

claims that sacha
inchi protein

can cause liver damage
and high cholesterol.

I should get
a checkup.

[Rex groans]

Okay, so let's recap.

We have a-

dead or seriously-maimed-

pro-meat food
scientist's thumb

turning up in the dish

of a renowned
pro-meat chef.

Looks like we're dealing
with one angry vegan.

Charlie: But is our
vegan a kidnapper?

Or a killer?

Charlie: Why was Aaron Tarr
on a hit list published by you?

It was not
a hit list.

It's a record
of people

worth demonstrating against.

And Aaron practically
asked to be on that list.

How do you mean?

-His published research
was abundant.

It felt almost personal.

So we held the odd protest
outside his facility.

Just exercising your
democratic right.

Exactly.

You know, it technically
is a food scientist's job

to study the basic
elements of food

and analyze their
nutritional content.

Yeah.

Not like this.

I swear, his
research is bunk.

Yeah, she's not wrong.

Jesse got me into
Aaron's computer.

And I've been going
through his data.

And it doesn't
add up.

His research doesn't
support any of the claims

he's made in
his publications.

You're sure?

Yeah.

Even his findings on
sacha inchi, for example-

point to the exact opposite
of what he published.

And his conclusions-

actually require
long-term studies

which couldn't have
been completed yet.

Why would he purposely
falsify his information?

Maybe he has a personal
stake in the meat industry.

Or maybe he was in
somebody's pocket.

See, based on his
banking records-

Aaron was carrying some
serious debt, until recently.

I'm guessing this isn't about
his smart investment decisions.

Not exactly.

See, I was trying to
find a connection

between Chef Gregory
and Aaron Tarr.

It turns out-

he was listed
as a consultant

on Chef Gregory's
cooking show, Seared-

and has been receiving a regular
paycheck from the production.

Was there any evidence

that he actually was a
consultant on the show?

Well, as far
as I can tell

he did an episode
about a year ago.

I'm still trying
to track it down.

Wow, that's a
pretty good deal

for a one-
time gig.

Rex.

Let's go, pal.

♪♪
[percussive theme music]

Chef Gregory: I hope
he's not a shedder.

Because fur and filet is
not exactly a great look.

Well, I'm sure if
you cooperate-

we'll be out of here before the
health inspector can swing by.

Do you know
Aaron Tarr?

Yeah, Aaron.

He was on
my show.

The guy's an
absolute hoot.

Well, I'm afraid-

he might be dead.

Can you help me
understand something?

He was on your
show occasionally.

Yet he received
a regular payout.

Yeah, he was
on retainer.

He was a good gimmick
from time to time.

What kind of a gimmick?

Well, when he
was on the show

I would have him analyze
the health benefits

of our contestants' meals.

You know.

Shake things up.

And how does that
shake things up?

I don't know if you've
heard, Detective.

But meat kind of
has a bad rap.

Okay, a lot of people
are talking about

how it's unhealthy
and inhumane.

Did you know
that a single cow

can feed over
800 people?

What's more
humane than that?

Using its fields to cultivate
crops that could feed thousands?

How wokeof
you, Detective.

Despite some
trendy disillusions-

the human body
needs more

than grain and
water to survive.

Yes.

I had Aaron on
my TV show, okay?

To challenge some
common misconceptions.

And how'd
that work out?

Beautifully.

Not everyone loved
what he was saying.

But we had some
arguments-

some threats,
some profanities.

TV at its finest.

When was the last
time you saw Aaron?

Not since that
last appearance.

Hmm.

[Rex whines]

Let's talk about the so-called
health benefits of sacha inchi.

800 grams of sodium.

6.5 grams of
saturated fat.

14 grams of sugar.

Daniel: Man-

Those numbers are fake!

That's ridiculous.

The only thing
ridiculous around here

is your your idea
of a healthy meal.

Yeah, the trash
you call food

has twice the amount
of sodium as a Big Mac.

You're selling
people cancer!

Get out of here!

This was a mistake!

Well, that was painful.

Yeah, well it
gets worse.

That chef who
stalked off-

he died two
months later.

Daniel Owens.

He was a real
up-and-comer.

How'd he die?

Overdose.

Just after the
episode aired.

What do you think
are the chances

of that being a
coincidence?

Well, that's not
the only thing.

I did a little
digging.

And you'll never guess
who his mentor was.

Chef Dave.

♪♪
[soft theme music]

Charlie: Why didn't you
tell me that Chef Daniel Owens-

your protégé-

overdosed shortly after
being berated on air

by Chef Gregory?

I did not sabotage
his dish, I swear.

-That's not
what I asked you.

-Look, it's true.

I knew Daniel Owens.

I had only mentored
him a month or so.

He was a promising
young chef.

We had similar
philosophies about food.

You were both vegan?

Yeah.

After the TV show,
he changed.

He got quieter
and quieter.

Started showing
up later and later.

And then didn't
show up at all.

One day-

they found him
on the ground.

Overdose.

Was it an accident?

All I know is he
was real depressed.

Depressed?

Depressed about what?

He had just started
building his brand.

He developed this
sacha inchi steak

which really put
him on the map.

He called it the-

healthy alternative
to rib eye.

Hmm.

That was the meal he made
on Chef Gregory's show.

The meal that so-called
food scientist tore apart.

He was driven to make a
revolutionary food product-

a meat alternative.

Anyway.

After the TV appearance,
his investors backed out.

His deals with food
vendors fell through.

Everything he'd been
working towards.

Gone.

People have turned to
drugs for a lot less.

You know-

if a protégé of mine had
been treated that way-

I think I'd want
to strike back.

That's not my style.

I'd prefer to
let Gregory-

drown in his
own guilt.

If he still has
a conscience.

[Rex growls]

[Rex barks]

Your dog-

has good taste.

Those are
going to grow-

into Craigella tomatoes.

Those are my
favourite too.

I don't think he's

What have

♪♪
[dramatic music]

[Rex barking]

Is this your style?

Hey, Sarah.

Hey.

We found ID
in his pocket.

It's Aaron Tarr.

-Yeah, the missing
thumb kind of gave it away.

Well, that's not what
killed him though.

The deep blow his head was
more likely the cause of death.

Was the blow fire
extinguisher-shaped?

I'll tell you
after the autopsy.

But I'd say
it's likely.

Hey, tell me something.

So-

what did Chef Dave say
when Rex dug up the body?

What do you think?

Where were you
two nights ago?

I was at my
restaurant.

Then I went home.

Can anyone
corroborate that?

-My lady's
out of town.

She went to visit her
sister in Stone's Cove.

That's convenient.

It's also the truth!

You're sure you're not leaving
out any pertinent information?

Hmm?

See, because my team
is looking into it.

And it turns
out that

you didn't just take Chef
Daniel under your wing.

You also partnered with him
on the sacha inchi steaks.

Which means when the sacha
inchi brand was destroyed

on Chef Gregory's
show months ago-

you lost a significant-
significantinvestment.

I didn't think that
was important.

I think it's motive.

Motive for what?

Killing a guy?

Cutting off his thumb?

And baking it
into a pie?

I would
never do that!

Besides, what
kind of idiot

hides the body in his
own vegetable garden?

We are not going to get away
with holding Dave much longer.

Talk to me, people.

What are we thinking?

Jesse, let's go through the
movements one more time.

Okay, so based on the
blood and murder weapon-

which we've now
established

as the fire extinguisher
from the lab-

the initial confrontation

between Aaron
Tarr and his killer

took place at the
research facility, here.

And then the body was
transported to Dave's greenhouse

on Freshwater Road, here.

Only for the body's
thumb to turn up-

inside a Beef Wellington-

at Chef Gregory's restaurant-

here.

Donovan: Okay, Jesse.

I want you to check the CCTV
footage from two days ago.

See if the same
vehicle turn up

in more than one
of those locations.

Well, Aaron
drove a silver SUV

that hasn't been seen
in a couple of days.

Okay, well I'll keep an eye
out for any silver SUVs

on the CCTV footage.

Charlie: While we still
have him in custody-

I'm going to swing by
Chef Dave's kitchen.

See if Rex can pick up any
traces of Beef Wellington.

Alright, partner.

This is not
the freshest.

But do your
best, okay?

[Rex sniffing]

Okay.

Track it.

Let's see what we've
got here, shall we?

[Rex sniffing]

Chef's knife.

Utility knife.

Paring knife.

Bread knife.

Definitely not getting a
clean slice with any of these.

[Rex barking]

What have you got?

[Rex growls]

Well.

This is either
icing sugar-

or Chef Dave is
cutting something else.

Sarah: That's cocaine, alright.

What is it with professional
kitchens and drugs?

Might have
something to do

with the high pressure,
intense speed-

long hours, and
forced closeness.

Oh, you seem familiar!

-Yeah, I
waitressed a bit-

through university.

Some of the things I witnessed
in kitchens would horrify you.

Like what?

[phone buzzing]

[Sarah laughs]

Hey, Jesse.

Charlie.

You might want
to come see this.

Jessie's got something.

So.

The fact that the attack
on the research facility

happened in the
middle of the night

meant the roads
were fairly quiet.

So I got a
little lucky.

Here it is.

At 1:35 AM-

the silver SUV

driving south two blocks

from Aaron Tarr's
research facility.

Is that Aaron's car?

It's the same model.

But I couldn't get a
proper angle on the plate.

But I did,
however, get this.

Notice the driver's cap.

The image is a
little blurry.

But it looks
familiar to me.

Here.

Right there.

How fanatic is
this woman?

Protesters: Here me
bleat! Don't eat meat!

Pamela: Meat is murder!

Ahhh!

I have a few
questions-

[Rex barking]

about Aaron
Tarr's murder.

This is CCTV footage-

of the night of
the murder.

That isn't me.

Just someone with
the exact same hat

and general disdain
for Aaron Tarr?

The two go
hand in hand.

You know, you have a pretty
militant approach to veganism.

Bloody spray
paint one day.

Murder the next.

The spray paint is
a symbol for blood.

It doesn't make
me a murderer.

I'm not Sweeney Todd.

Uh- but you clearly have a
hate-on for Chef Gregory.

And Aaron's research-

that must read
like heresy to you.

So we have-

a dead Aaron Tarr-

and an assault
on Chef Gregory.

Two people on
the top of your-

let's call it-
hate list.

And now we have this
CCTV footage of you-

or someone who's doing a
damn good impression of you.

I've got to be
honest with you.

It's not looking
good, Pamela.

Look, we have
a deal going.

Who?

Chef Gregory and me.

He pays me
for the stunts.

The protests, the
chanting, the disruptions.

All of it.

The showier the better.

Okay.

So he gets a steady
stream of publicity.

And you get to spread your
message without fear

of having a restraining
order slapped on you.

Exactly.

It's win-win.

Mmm.

The only legitimate charge we
have against Pamela is assault.

Any luck here?

Jess: Actually-

yeah, check this out.

So I pieced together
the silver SUV's route

using CCTV and
nearby security footage.

I was able to locate it near
the second location here-

making its way away from
Chef Dave's greenhouse.

What time was that?

Shortly after 4:00 AM.

But here's the thing.

Around here-

the SUV just disappears.

Vanishes into thin air.

I was unable to find it
on any of the footage.

-Then it might still be in
between those two spots.

Rex.

[Rex barks]

[squealing tires]

Hang on, pal.

[Rex sniffing]

[Rex barking]

Rex!

[Rex barking]

[Rex barking]

Good job, Rex.

[click]

[Rex sniffing]

[Rex barking]

[siren]

I dusted the shovel you
found for fingerprints.

It was clean.

So it was
wiped it down.

Yeah.

There was a stain-

in the lining
of the trunk.

-Blood?

Maybe.

I couldn't tell against
the dark fabric.

So I sent it in
for testing.

Huh- anything else?

Yeah.

Actually, this.

Orange thread.

[Rex barks]

Sarah: We've confirmed
that the orange thread

is from a towel belonging
to Chef Gregory.

Could Chef Gregory
actually be behind all this?

Maybe.

I mean, we've got a dead guy
who was likely in his pocket

to falsify reports and
discredit an industry.

Charlie: Yeah.

Maybe Aaron
got too greedy.

He threatened to
expose Chef Gregory-

unless he
ups the ante.

Jesse: So he killed him?

And framed his rival?

I mean, that sounds
a bit extreme.

[Rex growls]

Charlie: Sure,
but Chef Gregory-

he's a pretty
extreme kind of guy.

Why plant a thumb
in his own dish?

Jesse: Well, maybe-

maybe to create the
illusion of innocence.

Well, it's also publicity.

Um-

Everybody knows
that Chef Gregory

loves the limelight.

[Rex barks]

Well, I mean-

that's a new shirt.

Thanks, Rex.

His popularity has
never been higher.

Everybody online is talking
about the thumb debacle

and the court of public
opinion are coming down hard

on the vegan terrorists.

Mm-hmm.

So instead of
discrediting him-

the thumb motivated
his supporters.

His restaurant has
never been busier.

The thumb
exonerates him.

And his clientele responds-

exactly like he
would expect them to.

I hope we're not
disturbing you, Chef.

Not at all.

I was just getting ahead of the
game before my staff arrives.

Oh.

Well, we won't
stay long.

How can I
help you?

I was just
curious as to

what type of knife could
cut through bone easily.

You mind if I look
at your collection?

Be my guest.

This one looks like
it could do it.

-It certainly does.

Of course, if you're
implying something-

I should say that my
collection is very standard.

Any chef worth his salt
uses a meat cleaver.

Unless they
don't cook meat.

[phone buzzing]

I did say any chef
worth his salt.

Excuse me.

[Rex whines]

Chef Gregory: Go!

[Rex whines]

Don't look at me.

I've got nothing.

Find anything, Jesse?

Jesse: Maybe.

I tracked the GPS records
from Gregory's car.

Where was he the
night of the murder?

At the restaurant.

Prepping his new
menu- allegedly.

-That's strange.

Because his car was
somewhere else.

[Rex barks]

-Okay.

Good job, Jesse.

See if you can
find anything

that places him
at his car, okay?

I'll call you back.

What is it, pal?

What have you got?

[Rex barking]

That's not-

[Rex barking]

Rex, go!

♪♪
[dramatic music]

That's a new one!

[Rex barking]

[Rex barking]

[Rex growls]

Chef Gregory: Ughh!

Good job, partner.

[Rex barks]

-Get your dog
away from me!

Yeah yeah.

Alright.

[handcuffs clasping]

Let's go, partner.

[Rex barks]

That was fun!

[door buzzer]

This is ridiculous.

I didn't kill anyone.

I was framed.

-Is that right?

Yes.

I already told
you it was Dave!

My success is eating
him up inside.

[Rex barks]

Then why
did you run?

I hadn't used this particular
knife set in a while.

Okay?

I pulled this
one out

because your guys took my
other one in for evidence.

Today, I opened it up
to find the cleaver-

which was missing
yesterday, suddenly back.

Uh-huh.

It had blood
stains on it.

And at that moment-

I realized I was
being framed.

So the cleaver shows up
right when we arrive.

That is awfully coincidental.

-You're damn
right it is, okay?

And I know-

how it looked!

So-

I panicked.

And I wiped the
cleaver down.

And then I threw
the rag outside.

You really expect
me to believe that?

Even if I did
kill the guy-

which I didn't- okay-

I obviously would have
wiped down the cleaver.

A chef's knife is
like his paintbrush!

Then why are
you lying to me

about where you were
the night of the murder?

Excuse me?

You know what?

It's no problem.

You don't want
to come clean

about where you were?

I'm sure I can find someone
who can be persuaded

to come
clean for you.

Thanks again for
coming in, Molly.

You know, I still
don't get why I'm here.

-Well it was like I
said on the phone.

We just had

a few things
I wanted to verify

about Chef Gregory's alibi.

You said-

that he was with you,
prepping a new menu-

the night that Aaron
was murdered.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, we have evidence
that suggests otherwise.

And I just need some
clarification as to why he-

or you-

might be lying.

Was it because he was
purchasing cocaine

to fuel the long hours
creating the new menu?

Hmm?

He owned
up to it.

He didn't want his
illegal dealings

to get wrapped
up in all of this.

Hmmm.

So I lied about
where he was.

I mean, there's an unwritten
code between chefs.

The bonds of the
kitchen are sacred.

I was just trying
to protect him.

There is a special
bond between chefs.

But yours wasn't with
Chef Gregory, was it?

It was with
Chef Daniel.

So I asked myself-

why you'd go
to such lengths

to incriminate and
discredit so many people.

But then it
occurred to me.

Chef Gregory.

Chef Dave.

Pamela Simmons
and Aaron Tarr.

What do they all
have in common?

Daniel Owens.

Aaron: Let's talk
about the so-called-

health benefits
of sacha inchi.

Charlie: Aaron Tarr.

He provided the
false research.

What are you
talking about?

Those numbers
are fake, man.

You're a [bleep] hypocrite!

Charlie: Chef Gregory
humiliated him.

Chef Dave provided
the cocaine

that led to
his demise.

They killed him.

All of them.

Do you know what
it's like being a chef?

Hmm?

You have zero
social life.

So when you find someone
that you connect with-

it's a miracle.

When did you
meet Daniel?

During pre-production.

I was Team Gregory.

And he was
the enemy.

The lightweight vegan.

We cracked each
other up about it.

And then, one night-

he dared me to let
him cook for me.

And then something happened.

And we were still up
when the sun rose.

Daniel was this really
passionate, creative soul.

And they just
destroyed him.

For what?

Hmm?

Ratings?

So you killed
Aaron Tarr.

I only went there
to expose his lies.

To set the
story straight.

For Daniel.

His car wasn't there
when I got there.

But he came back.

And he caught me.

And he threatened me.

Things escalated.

I just grabbed the
closest thing I could.

I swung!

It was an accident.

With the thumb-

and the body-

and the multiple
cover-ups-

I don't think anyone's
going to buy self-defense

as one of those
ingredients.

[upbeat theme music]

Donovan: Yeah, we've
got six uniforms on the case.

Hey!
[Rex barks]

Donovan: So
we're just fine.

It's funny.

Lost my tag.
-One second.

Hey, buddy!

Hey!

Jesse: Hey!

Hey guys!

Lunch is on me!

What is this?

Beef Wellington?

Oh, you're kidding, right?

That is dark, Jesse.

Even for you.

Jesse: Well, I figured I'd
never had one before.

Figured I may
as well try it.

I thought you
were vegan?

[Jessie laughs]

They are not
Beef Wellingtons.

They are Pea Protein-

and Tofu Wellingtons.

Delicious!

Should have known.

No such thing
as a free lunch.

Right?

Jesse: Come on! Try it!

[Rex grunts]

It's an acquired taste.

And what if we don't
want to acquire it?

Fine.

To each their own.

I'm just trying
to do my part

to end animal cruelty
and save the planet.

But I get it.

Being vegan's a commitment.

And not everybody's
up for the sacrifice.

Charlie: Is that salami
stick vegan too?

Chef Gregory: Your
dog has good taste!

Charlie: Hey!
Chef Gregory.

I came here to say thank
you for solving the case.

And-

to also invite you
all to a fundraiser

I'm having at
the restaurant.

Don't worry.

No cameras.

No publicity.

It's all about food.

And we're raising money for
victims of substance abuse.

Why not?

I could use one
of your meals.

It'd be nice to have
some real meat.

Actually-

I think we're going
to try something new.

Thanks to my
new consultant.

Hey everybody!

Jesse: Hey!

Score one for
the good guys!

Charlie: You know-

I think
this is great.

Finally doing your part
to save the planet.

Chef Gregory: And capitalizing
on cheap publicity.

Old habits die hard.

Pamela: He came
over to the dark side

once he realized how much
vegan ingredient have improved.

Hey?

[Rex barks]

Come on and get it!

Yeah, there you go.

[laughter]

Jesse: He likes it!

Charlie: Way
to go, partner.
