Hey Ace!

Guess who's home!

Guess who got off early, buddy!

There he is!

Want to go for a walk buddy?

Guess who's off!

Want me to get your leash?

There you are.

Where's my good boy?

What's up, Ace?

Hey buddy?

What are you looking at?

The attack
was quick, and brutal.

The killer raining
down blow after blow-

on his helpless victim.

Seven years have passed
since Detective Rory Trenton

was found dead in his
home in St. John's.

His killer is yet to be found.

And that, my friends,
concludes chapter one.

Let's hear a round of applause-

for author Aubrey Anderson.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's a real honour to launch
my book in my hometown.

So thank you.

Now, if anyone has questions-

Oh!

Over here.

I have a question.

How dare you use my personal
tragedy to sell books?

This is Nina Trenton.

Rory's wife.

I tried to contact you.

I hope you rot in hell!

Nina!

How dare you use my
personal tragedy-

to sell books?

This is Nina Trenton.

Rory's wife.

I tried to contact you, Nina.

I hope you rot in hell!

Nina!

Oh I feel for her.

To lose your husband, then
have the crime exploited-

Yeah.

This video has gone viral.

It's over 300,000
views since last night.

It's all over radio
and television.

And-

the mayor called the
chief last night.

And we're taking another
look at the case.

Yeah, exactly.

The Trenton case files

are on their way from storage.

Oh, great.

Thank you.

Please upload those-

to the national violent
offense's database-

just in case we missed anything-

the first time around.

Will do.

Thank you.

Also-

a copy of this.

Hot off the press.

Thought we may need
a reference copy.

Why does the authour's
name ring a bell?

Well, before he
turned to writing-

Aubrey was a local
crime reporter.

He was a colossal pain-

in the department's backside.

Seven years ago-

you worked the case?

Well, not directly.

But every officer knew
what was going down.

There was no evidence
of the crime scene.

No fingerprints, no DNA.

And what about suspects?

None.

Rory was well-liked.

He had no obvious enemies.

And we went through
several of his old cases-

and everyone who might
have had a grudge

had a rock solid alibi.

Personal life?

No, no familial trouble.

By all accounts-

he was a happily married man.

I mean, this was a
long slog to nowhere-

for both Rory and Nina.

There's no indication-

that Rory tried
to defend himself.

And that led original
investigators to believe

that the killer surprised him.

What was the murder weapon?

Based on skull impressions-

forensics determined that
it was a claw hammer.

And there was also one
missing from his toolkit.

How did the killer enter?

Uh-a rear window.

That kind of attack would create
significant blood spatter.

But this place looks spotless.

Well-

the place was
thoroughly cleaned.

The killer used household
cleaning products.

Why go through the effort
of cleaning a scene-

and then leave the body behind?

I don't know.

Maybe they-

you know, ran out of time?

Were interrupted?

Or, it might have been
compulsive behaviour.

Just something they
felt they had to do.

Rex, what is this?

Oh, that's a-

That's a dog toy
from the crime scene.

Wait.

Rory and Nina had a dog?

Yeah.

Yeah, Ace.

He was there at the
time of the murder.

What happened to it?

We don't know.

He vanished.

We spoke to the vet and
he said that the dog

wasn't microchipped.

I wonder if Aubrey
Anderson has any insight

into the killer?

Just because he's
exploiting the crime

for his own profit-

doesn't mean he hasn't
researched it thoroughly.

Yeah, I'm sure he's dug down-

and found something interesting.

But first, talk to Nina Trenton.

She deserves to know
that this case is active.

Okay.

Rex, let's go.

Last night was a mistake.

I should never have
gone to that reading.

But I wanted to give that
man a piece of my mind.

I did not intend to
lose it so publicly.

I understand.

And look, I'm sorry-

that I have to ask you, but-

you must have thought about

who might have wanted

to hurt your husband?

For a while, that's
all I ever did.

And did any names
ever come to mind?

None.

I've actually come to
believe it was just random.

Can you remember anything
out of the ordinary-

in the days before the murder?

You know, even the
slightest thing?

Nothing.

Did you remarry?

Yes, that's Percy Godfrey.

When I lost Rory-

and Ace-

I lost my whole world.

If I didn't have
the store to run-

I don't think I
would have made it.

But then I met Percy, and-

he gave me a chance
to start over.

Okay, well thank you Nina.

Feel free to call
me any time, okay?

And I'll make sure
to keep you updated.

I'd appreciate that.

Excuse me.

You must be the police.

Detective Sarah Truong.

This is my partner, Rex.

You must be Nina's husband.

I am.

Dr. Godfrey.

Nina told me you
were dropping by.

I came as soon as I could.

Well, I know this must
be a difficult time.

Nina was so upset after the book
reading, she couldn't sleep.

For her sake, Detective-

please stop this investigation.

I'm afraid we can't do that.

But I'll do my best o
make it as easy on youo

as possible.

Mr. Godfrey.

Do you have any thoughts
about what happened to Rory?

Nina said he was well-liked.

My guess-

it had something to do
with one of his old cases.

I wasn't part of
her life back then.

Now, if you'll excuse me-

I'm going to make sure
my wife is all right.

A bookstore owner told me-

I could find you
here Mr. Anderson.

Mmm.

My publisher arranged
this space for me.

They want me to stick around

now that the case is active.

Oh, why is that?

Well because if you
find the killer-

I'll need to rewrite the ending!

So you don't live in
St. John's anymore?

No, I haven't in years.

I've travelled, written
across the country.

But the Rory Trenton case
has always fascinated me.

And so it-

just drew me back home.

Something seems to have

caught my partner's attention.

Oh, that's right.

That's Nina's.

Nina Trenton's.

I found it on her chair
at the book launch-

after everyone left.

I've been planning to
give it back to her.

But I think I'm probably
the last person-

that she'll want
to see right now.

If you're so concerned
about Nina's well-being-

why publish a book
about the murder?

Rory Trenton deserves justice.

And look what's happened.

All the publicity has
created public protests.

And now the investigation
is active again.

Sometimes cold cases
need to be forced open.

You know-

I'd love to hear your
first impressions-

If it's not too confidential.

The information we're working
off is public knowledge, so-

Okay!

Yeah, sure.

Uh-

I'd say on the one hand-

the killer is calm
and collected-

but compulsive on the other.

Yeah, methodical
yet pathological.

Cleaning the scene
but leaving the body-

suggest they were irrational.

Entering through the rear
window, lying in wait-

leaving no evidence-

those all show signs
of rational control.

To me-

attacking a six-foot-two officer

with only a hammer is the
definition of irrational.

But you know, it's yin and yang.

Isn't it?

Your turn to help me.

Okay.

While researching your book-

did you speak with anyone
who caught your attention?

Yeah there was one person that
I always was suspicious of.

He's not in the book
because I didn't want

to land a defamation suit.

But I first interviewed him
just days after the crime.

Hold on.

Would you say-

you've lost all faith in
the police department?

I would.

I used to feel safer,
having an officer next d.

Right.

But now that the entire
force can't find one killer-

Now I just think
cops are a joke.

That's the Aubrey
Anderson that I remember.

Well he claims he does
it for the greater good.

He's always trying to
rile up the public-

against the police force.

Who's he interviewing
again, remind me?

Collin Crawford.

He lived next door
to Rory and Nina-

He worked as a flight attendant.

Still does.

I ran him through the system.

No record.

No, hold on.

I remember this guy now.

He clammed up right
after that interview.

He didn't have an alibi for
the night of the murder.

But there was also no evidence
linking up to the crime either.

Aubrey said-

he stopped cooperating
with him too-

and wouldn't be
interviewed for the book.

Okay, check him out.

Okay.

Rex.

You know what?

I've actually been
reading Aubrey's book.

And the writing's pretty good.

Yeah, anything of
interest in there?

Nothing we don't already know.

But there is speculation-

that Ace's disappearance
has some significance.

So I put a sort of BOLO
out for local dog groups-

just to see if
anything turns up.

So better keep your
eye on the ball.

Oh yeah.

I will keep my eye on the ball.

This is the ball.

This is my eye.

I'm going to keep
it on the ball.

Got it.

Excuse me?

Collin Crawford?

Yeah?

Your housecleaner told me-

I could find you here.

And you are?

Detective Sarah Truong, SJPD.

This is my partner Rex.

I just need-

to ask you something.

Rex.

Back off!

Ughh!

Get off me!

Get down!

Okay.

Okay.

Collin?

You have something to hide?

I want to speak with my lawyer.

So we're going to be doing
this the hard way, then.

Where's my lawyer?

En route.

But I wanted to speak
with you about something-

before they arrive.

No way.

Well-

what I want to talk about,
you don't need a lawyer for.

Unless that is-

you had something to do
with Rory Trenton's murder.

Rory Trenton?

You mean you're not
here about the cameras?

I never should have said that.

I bring them into the country.

I was just helping a buddy out.

You can talk to your
lawyer about that-

when they get here, okay?

But right now-

Rory Trenton.

I knew as soon as I
saw the news that-

they were reopening in the case.

And this nightmare was
going to start all over.

What do you want to know?

Tell me about your relationship
with Rory and Nina.

They were just my neighbours.

We'd chat.

Sometimes I'd walk
their dog for them.

Okay, so no problems with them?

None.

Tell me about Rory's murder.

What's there to tell?

It made me angry.

That's why I gave that
interview with Aubrey Anderson.

But I learned my lesson.

What do you mean?

I called the police a joke.

And that's when the
threats started.

Calls in the middle
of the night.

Threatening notes
on my windshield-

telling me that if I
criticized the cops-

I'd end up dead.

You didn't report these threats?

To the very same police?

Get serious.

I just kept my mouth shut.

And I moved on.

I'm sorry you were
threatened, Mr. Crawford.

Okay, and I am truly sorry-

that you lost faith
in the department.

But-

if you know anything about
Rory Trenton's murder-

you need to speak up.

For Nina's sake.

It probably doesn't
mean anything.

But two months after the murder-

a bouquet was delivered
to Nina and Rory's house.

Flowers?

Three dozen pink roses-

with a note saying
they were for Nina.

But she wasn't
living there anymore.

So I took them over to my place.

And she came to pick them
up when I texted her.

What did she say
when she saw them?

Nothing.

She cried, took them, and left.

Did she say who they were from?

No.

But I got the feeling she knew.

So what's a deal with the
pink roses Nina received?

And who sent them?

I was thinking it was a mourner.

But pink isn't the
colour of mourning.

It's the colour of romance.

So maybe Nina had
someone on the side-

while Rory was alive.

Look at this.

Jesse just sent me
some info about a guy-

who made hundreds of comments
on Nina's social media posts-

shortly before the murder.

Dr. God?

Any idea what his
real identity is?

Jesse dug in deeper here.

That's Percy Godfrey.

Nina's new husband.

This guy didn't try too hard
to disguise himself, did he?

No, and he liked every
comment Nina made.

It was as if he
wanted to be noticed.

Well did Nina interact with him?

No.

She didn't engage-

with any of his posts.

Could Nina have lied
about knowing Godfrey-

while Rory was alive?

Or maybe her future
husband started out

as an anonymous stalker.

I remember the flowers.

I picked them up at Collin's.

He said you gave
him the impression-

that you knew who
they were from.

Of course I knew.

They were from Rory-

for our anniversary.

Getting them was heartbreaking.

I cried all night.

But Rory was dead.

Obviously, he pre-ordered them.

You never mentioned getting
the flowers to the police.

Why would I?

Were you absolutely certain
Rory was the one who sent them?

Who else would have?

Do you remember a Dr. God-

who was following
you on social media?

Dr. God?

Yeah, I do!

He was some troll.

I never interacted with him.

Well, Dr. God was a nickname
used by your current husband.

Percy was Dr. God?

We didn't even know
each other back then.

I mean, apparently he
remembers meeting me-

at some party years ago, but-

I have no recollection.

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

And he had been following
you for four months-

before Rory died.

Why would he do that?

Dr. God was a joke
account I made-

when I was a dental student.

I created a new profile since
then that was more professional.

See the thing about stalkers-

is they like to track
their victim's socials-

while they remain anonymous.

Stalkers.

Are you suggesting
I stalked Nina?

No, you're actually wondering

if I had something to do with
Rory's murder, aren't you?

See, you were invisible to Nina.

She had Rory.

She had Ace.

So hear me out.

Maybe-

now just maybe-

you thought that
by removing them-

she'd finally notice you.

That's ridiculous.

Is it?

Because two months
after Rory's death-

someone sent Nina
a bouquet of roses.

Was it you?

Of course not.

She said they were from Rory.

Godfrey seemed convinced-

that the flowers were for Rory.

Okay.

I mean, maybe he and Nina are
coordinating their stories.

Yeah, suggesting they
conspired to do away with Rory.

It's possible.

Maybe.

You should run it by Sarah.

Well, Aubrey Anderson-

he wanted to speak with her.

Listen, I think I
might have something.

Something came up on ViCLAS.

A murder in Ontario
three years ago.

What matched?

Well, the MO in general.

But the thing that caught my eye

is that the victim's
dog vanished.

Yeah, like Ace.

Yeah, but it's not
much to go on though.

But, I mean, you
know what I can do-

is that I can get a
flight to Toronto-

be back in less than a day.

Yeah, that's good.

Just make sure
you get a compact-

and fly economy.

Maybe economy plus
for extra leg room?

Is that a no?

Thank you for meeting me-

on my daily constitutional.

Writers spend way too
much time at their desk.

Not a problem.

Rex needs to stretch
his legs, too.

So you wanted to talk with me?

Yeah, I heard about the
flowers that Nina received.

What-I've still got some
contacts on the force.

Not all cops hate me.

So, any idea who
sent the bouquet?

You may have your sources, but-

I'm not one of them.

You want me to tell
you who it was?

Collin Crawford.

Same person who just
told me about them?

Mmm!

Why would he potentially

incriminate himself like that?

Well, like we discussed-

this killer is a contradiction.

And Collin fits that bill.

He kills a cop-

then complains about them on TV.

He refuses to give
me an interview-

and then turns around and
coughs up this evidence?

Real evidence?

Why would Collin send flowers
to Nina in the first place?

Well as awful as It might sound-

some murderers get off-

on prolonging the
family's suffering.

Oh wow.

So now you're a profiler.

I've read hundreds
of papers on killers.

If you're going to wrie
credibly, you have to kw

what you're writing abou.

Look.

Imagine Collin-

enjoying the look on Nina's face
as she retrieved the flowers.

There is no evidence
to support this.

Finding proof is your job.

Not mine.

I'm just here to give
you some thoughts.

Okay Rex, I need to
think this through.

And you have to help me.

Okay okay.

Let's try something else.

Okay, you're going to
help me, all right?

You're the killer.

Okay, I know.

You're the killer.

And I'm going to be Rory.

We know Rory was surprised.

So-

you've probably broken in-

and found a place to hide.

So you're hiding somewhere.

Go.

You're going to go hide.

Nice spot.

Yeah.

So you're back there.

You're lying in wait.

I'm Rory.

And-

Hey, you're supposed
to be hiding.

You've got to hide well to be

a good killer.

Get down.

Okay, so does Rory head
over to the kitchen?

He could head over
to the kitchen.

Or maybe-actually no, Ace.

Maybe he was down
talking to Ace.

And that's when you would leap
out from your hiding spot.

And yes!

You hit me with a hammer!

Ohhh.

Good job.

You're very good at
this killing business.

But something is wrong
about this, hey buddy?

What is it?

I guess they would have

carefully thought
everything out.

They picked a window
to break in through.

They knew when to do it so
they could surprise Rory.

Did they have a hiding spot?

No, they probably
just found that.

Okay, so they were there-

waiting with the hammer
from Rory's tool chest.

The hammer!

Rex, that doesn't
make sense, does it?

So you think the
hammer is the key?

Well, think about it.

The killer planned everything
down to the last detail-

except for the murder weapon.

They randomly took that out
of the victim's tool chest?

Okay, but most people have
a hammer in their house.

But would you chance it?

No, you would come
prepared with something-

which is what makes me wonder

if the killer never actually
planned on using a weapon.

What do you mean?

Methodical killers often
prefer strangulation, right?

This lets them exert maximum
control over their victim.

Okay Sarah, but-

only a lunatic would try to
kill Rory with their bare hands.

The guy was six-
foot-two and jacked.

No, the thing is-

these types of killers
usually target women.

Wait, hold on.

Are you suggesting-

that maybe Nina was
the intended target?

Yeah!

I think this is why we've
had so much trouble-

getting any traction
on this case.

So if Nina Trenton

is the intended target-

who's the killer?

Oh, definitely
not Percy Godfrey.

His motive was against Rory.

Well, that puts us back to
square one with no suspects.

Actually, there is
Collin Crawford.

What if he put us on to
the flowers on purpose?

Why would he do that?

To taunt us.

Just like Nina was taunted.

And what's his motive?

No idea, yet.

Okay, does he have a history
of violence against women?

No, nothing in the system.

Okay, let's dig into his past.

Okay.

First, I'll-

go break the news to Nina-

that her husband may have
been killed in her place.

I really hate this
part of the job.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

But you've got this.

I know, buddy.

Let's go do it.

The victim's name-

was Tracy Adams.

Early 30s, single.

She was strangled
in her own home.

No prints, no
motive, no suspects.

The killer entered-

through a rear window.

Okay, okay.

And did they clean
up after themselves?

They did.

Sounds like our killer's MO.

And she had a dog?

Yeah.

It was a year-old mixed breed.

Any idea what happened to it?

We thought it probably ran away.

Or the killer took it.

But we had no idea why
or what became of it.

And you worked the case?

I did.

One of my first ones.

Hell of a welcome to policing.

Yeah, I bet.

Listen, is there anyone
that was close to Tracy-

that might be able to
help me with this case?

Maybe her stepfather.

I met him during the
initial investigation.

And we still keep up.

I- yeah, I'd appreciate that.

Thank you.

You got it.

Okay.

Okay.

Nina, we began exploring a
new theory about the murder-

that the target wasn't Rory.

It was you.

Me?

I don't understand.

You're saying that

Rory was killed when it
was supposed to be me?

It's possible, yeah.

So we are going to
need a list of people-

who you might have had
conflicts with back then-

ex-boyfriends who may have
held a grudge, anything.

Am I in any sort of danger?

We don't believe so.

But why do you ask?

For the last couple of
days, I've had this feeling-

that I'm being watched.

Here in the house?

No.

On my way home, after work.

Why didn't you say something?

I don't know.

I thought it was just the
pressure of everything.

It's been really hard.

Percy and I fought
about Dr. God.

He's moved out.

I'm sorry-

that you're going through this.

I-

I'll have a few officers
keep an eye on you-

over the next few days.

Thank you.

Tracy loved to come here.

We used to walk and talk-

and catch up on things.

She was your stepdaughter?

Yeah, I married her mom.

But she passed away
from a heart attack.

That just left Tracy and me.

Tom, I read the case file.

You found her?

We were supposed
to have breakfast.

But she never showed.

I went looking.

Now, I know there
were no suspects.

But did you have any
suspicions whatsoever?

No.

Tracy was quiet.

Went to church.

There were no men in her life.

She was a great person.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What does Tracy's
death have to do

with a murder of a
cop in Newfoundland-

seven years ago?

You know, both cases
are very similar.

The killer's MO.

There was a dog.

Patch.

Patch.

He and Tracy were best pals.

What can you tell
me about Patch?

Shelter animal.

Nothing really special.

But really friendly.

You want to see a picture?

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

I love this photo.

I keep it just for
the good memories.

Do you mind if I
make a copy of this?

Absolutely.

Thanks.

Oh, Rex.

It's Charlie.

Hey!

Charlie!

I'm at a-

Oh, Charlie.

Charlie, I can hardly hear you.

Sorry, I'm at a bus
station in Tres Reyes-

just south of Tulum.

What are you doing there?

I found a local taxi driver-

who said he dropped
Jack off here.

What was he doing?

Buying two tickets-

to Belize.

Two tickets-?

Was someone with him?

I don't know.

But I'm going to grab
the bus and find out.

Okay hold on.

How is your dad?

I sent him home.

There was nothing
more that he could do.

Listen, the bus is
about to pull out.

Oh, okay, Charlie.

Promise me that you'll
be careful, okay?

Don't worry.

I will.

Love you.

Be good, Rex!

Oh, Charlie.

Charlie?

Ch-

I know.

I wish he were here, too.

Hi!

Have you been up all night?

Yeah, I landed at 4:00 am.

Listen, I couldn't stop
thinking about your idea-

that Nina was the
intended victim.

Here, take that.

You need that more than me.

No no, you keep it.

Actually, you look
like you could use it.

I just slept funny.

Thanks.

Was it Charlie?

Yep.

His phone dropped
the connection again.

He is making progress
finding Jack, though.

Okay, that's good news.

Jesse.

Yeah.

Tell Sarah about what
you found out in Toronto.

Right.

Okay, so-

So-Tracy Adams-

She was strangled
three years ago.

Her dog Patch also went missing.

Now here's a photo of Tracy.

And here is a photo of Nina.

Wow-they look really alike.

Don't they?

What about the crime scene?

Any similarities there?

Well, I mean, it's
virtually the same MO.

Window entry, dog missing.

So are we looking
at the same perp?

Well, the big difference is
this victim was strangled.

No no, methodical killers

tend to repeat themselves.

I know!

So I went back through ViCLAS-

and filtered the
results differently.

Any matches?

Unfortunately, yeah.

Seven.

Seven?

All strangled.

Similar crime scenes.

Oh my God, all the
victims look like Nina.

All these cases are unsolved.

Yeah.

Starts with Rory
in St. John's-

Tracy in Ontario-

and then they moved West.

But Jesse-

this one in BC-

That was just four months ago!

We're tracking a serial killer.

And one that's still active.

So how do we catch this maniac?

Well-

I think we work out
from the victims.

So all brunette-

petite, early 30s.

They must represent
something to the perp.

Well serial killers often come
from dysfunctional families.

Absent, abusive parents.

And the killer
lashes out at them-

through the victims they choose.

So, what-you think the
victim is a substitute-

for the killer's mother?

Yeah, possibly.

Rex is so obsessed
with this toy!

Maybe he's been trying to tell
us there's something up with it.

Let me see.

Are you smelling
something on this?

I mean, that thing's
been in an evidence bag-

for seven years.

You think Rex is still
picking up a scent?

Well K9s have been
known to detect cadavers

after 25 years in the ground.

So yeah, it's possible.

Yeah, but what's he alerting to?

The killer's blood.

Why would the
killer be bleeding?

Because dogs bite.

Hold on.

You're saying that Ace
attacked the killer.

Yeah.

And some of their blood must
have ended up on the toy-

during the struggle.

It would only be a trace.

But it would be enough
that Rex could smell it.

But forensics
analyzed this dog toy-

during the initial
investigation-

and only found Ace's DNA.

But the toy would have been
covered in so much dog saliva-

that the technician might not
have found other DNA in it.

Fortunately, there
have been advancements-

in spectrometry since then.

I'm going to take this-

down to the lab, okay?

Yeah.

You know, considering
that these crimes

are committed
across the country-

I think a flight attendant
is looking pretty good-

for all this.

Sure, I was in BC
four months ago.

It's my regular route.

What about seven years ago?

What was your route back then?

I mostly worked St.
John's to Toronto.

So you were in Ontario, often.

What's going on here?

What does any of this have
to do with Rory's murder?

Why don't you tell us?

You recognize any
of these women?

No, why should I?

They're all murder victims.

This is Tracy Adams.

She was murdered-

four years after
Rory was killed.

Don't you think she
looks a lot like Nina?

Those flowers that
you told me about.

Were they from you?

What?

This is insane!

Is it?

Because we think Nina was
supposed to be the one-

to die that day.

Just like all of
these other women.

Wait, you're trying to pin
all of these murders on me!

Aren't you?

We're trying to find a
serial killer, Collin.

No no, this is harassment.

I'm going to file a lawsuit.

And you are so making
my case for me.

I spoke to his airline.

Collin wasn't in the vicinity
of four of the murders-

when they happened.

Yeah, well, that
definitely takes Crawford

off the suspect list.

Guys, hold on.

Okay okay, that's great.

Thank you.

Okay, so the lab techs
were able to isolate

a trace amount of human
blood from the dog toy.

They managed to
extract DNA from it.

And neither of them
are Nina or Rory's?

No.

And there was a sample taken-

at the time of the
murder for reference.

No, it's most
likely the killer's.

Okay, did you run them through
the National DNA Registry?

Yeah, but there were no hits.

So whoever's DNA this is-

they were never convicted-

of a serious crime.

Great.

So now what?

Well, okay.

So I also had the lab

send a sample to a public
genealogy database.

I thought, you know-

if we can't identify
the killer directly-

then maybe we can
find a close relative.

And they granted access?

Yeah, all they needed was
proof of immediate danger.

Yeah, I think the presence
of a serial killer

qualifies as dangerous.

So do they.

And there was one match.

Apparently, a cousin

of the killer lives
here in St. John's.

Okay!

Okay.

Good work, Rex.

Huh?

That is a good nose
you've got, hmm?

Yeah.

I'm surprised!

The police are looking for
a first cousin of mine?

I mean, I've got
quite a few, but-

they're all good people.

Well, I can help-

narrow it down some for you.

We're looking for
a female cousin-

who had a son.

Well, I have 11 female cousins.

And eight of them have boys.

The son would have been here
in St. John's seven years ago.

Uh-

Most of the cousins live on
the West Coast by Stephenville.

Two are here.

But the one has a daughter.

And the other one decided
to keep her figure.

Okay.

So no one with a son was here.

No, sorry.

Actually-

Actually, Tanya was.

God rest her soul.

She passed away?

Disappeared.

About 10 years ago now.

What happened?

No one knows.

I mean, Tanya lived a hard life.

Lots of men.

Lots of parties.

Lots of booze.

And I suspect drugs.

I mean it's terrible
thing to say, but-

I am not surprised
something happened to her.

And she had a son?

Yes.

I mean, she didn't provide
much of a home life.

But uh-

But he was grown-

by the time she disappeared.

Do you know what became of him?

Well he's done quite well
for himself, actually.

You may even have heard of him!

Tonya Lang.

She disappeared-

10 years ago.

There was an extensive search.

But her body was never found.

She looks like Nina
and the other victims.

So the killer's first victim

might have been
his mother, Tonya.

Who's her son?

Aubrey Anderson.

Hi, Nina.

We need to find him.

Oh.

I have something I've been
meaning to return to you.

Can I speak to Aubrey
Anderson, please?

I just tried Nina and she's
not answering her cell.

I'm going to drop by her house.

Okay, I'll have a
cruiser go to her store.

Okay.

The hotel that
Aubrey was staying at

says he checked out an hour ago.

Okay, talk to Border Control

at the ferries and the airports.

We are not letting
Aubrey off this island.

Rex, let's go.

I want to apologize to you.

I'm not interested
in your apologies.

I'm sorry about Rory.

But it was your fault.

See, you were always home-

by 6:14.

But that night-

you didn't leave
work till 7:19.

And because of that, Rory
came home before you.

And uh-

Well I had no choice!

What?

We need to finish something
we started a long time ago.

You know-

you bear a striking
resemblance to my mother.

From the second I saw
you, I thought that.

But she wasn't much of a mother.

I'm sorry that she
treated you poorly.

But I'm not your mother.

And I think you should go.

Shh Shhh!

Shhhh!

I know, Rex.

I hear something too.

Nina, are you there?

Nina!

Rex, go look around back.

Shhhh!

Hey hey!

Hey, shhhh!

Shhh!

Hey, Rex!

Shh shh shh shh!!

Shut up!

Help!

He's inside!

It's Aubrey!

He just tried to kill me!

SJPD!

Aubrey!

Aubrey!

Aubrey, it's over.

Thank you-

for stopping me, Detective.

So-

what's the latest on the case?

Oh!

Aubrey's undergoing
a psych eval-

to see if he's fit
to stand trial.

I did a deep dive-

into his history, too.

Turns out-

Aubrey, he worked as a
journalist across the country.

And he was in the vicinity
of each of these victims-

at the time of their murders.

What?

Just not yet, wait!

Okay.

And he admitted to stealing Ace-

and Patch-

and setting them free.

Why?

He had a dog-

as a kid.

And apparently, it loved
him unconditionally.

Yeah.

Much unlike his mother.

How's Nina doing?

Uh, as well as can be expected.

Yeah, she and Percy are
trying to work things out.

Hopefully they'll be okay.

Good.

Yeah.

Good.

Um, any word from Charlie?

No, I haven't, um-

I haven't heard
from him in a while.

I mean, the cell phone service
down there is terrible.

But, you know, still-

I'm um-

Yeah, I'm getting worried.

You know what?

Let me make a few phone calls.

I'll see if I can get in touch-

with the Mexican police-

and find out what's going on.

Okay, that would be great, Joe.

Of course.

So-

Are we going to play
some poker, or what?

Ooh!

Yes.

Please.

That would be nice.

What do you say, a little
Spit in the Ocean, huh?

Spit in the Ocean?
- Yeah, want to play that?

No, no no no.

Texas Hold 'em!

Okay.

Texas Hold 'em.

Texas Hold 'em it is.

Oh!

Okay, you may not
be the best dealer.

But you do have

an amazing poker face, Rex.

Okay, Rex.

Omaha Hi it is.

Good luck, Sarah.

Oh thanks!
